Chapter 709 Chapter 16.27 Industrial War

On March 5, Ludis started the military-grade "concept manufacturing" from the industrial furnace of Swan City. The city's steel mills and chemical plants suddenly turned into military factories.

The large military parts in the warehouse were dragged out by steel wheel trains and sent to the steel packaging factory full of iron smell. This factory usually only assembles locomotives, but under the control of the army's "hero concept", it is now quickly assembling and manufacturing two armored airships and 7 "heavy knights".

The factory chimneys spewed black smoke in the sky of the city. In the tent composed of this black airflow, when the 300-meter-long combat airship slowly reached the sky vertically under the support of the gaseous solidified energy on the chassis, the armored steel plates of the outer shell were arranged in squares and staggered, and under the protection of the force field, it was like a sky fortress.

On the steel rails on the ground streets, groups of steel wheel train pallets carried groups of fuel, ammunition and supplies, ready to leave Swan City. Finally, when these 600-ton ground vehicles roared along the main street, Ludis's team smashed champagne and sprayed streamers on the street, announcing the victory of the revolution.

When the party members had giant military weapons for the first time, Enma could feel the magnificent mechanical gear levers and pipe steam in the etheric world running in the concept field.

The existence of this concept field makes the mechanical loss zero, and can even reach a negative value, that is, the gear power box becomes stronger and stronger with use.

These machines that normal people could only move with difficulty are now started like giant insects and monsters in the ecological world that are magnified countless times in the movie.

This kind of heroic power can provide mechanical "durability" for such super-large units, which is why Ludis decided to rush out.

As the source of national morale, he obtained the "spiritual concept source" that orthodox heroic units can only have after decades of training.

Enma is also the one who simultaneously obtains the huge "spiritual concept source". It's just that Wei Keng's "calculating carefully", "thrifty by nature", and "not wasting a drop of rice" character will not take out things that he has not played with, and "show off" them all at once.

Rudis's personality is completely different from Enma's. He wants to master this power as soon as possible, so the strategies of both sides are different. His leadership depends on greater victory.

As a "hero", he has a huge "concept factory" in the etheric world. This "concept factory" is running all the time.

The "concept factory" of each "hero" has different types and sizes.

If a hero wants to enhance his "concept factory", he can manage the "industry" in his location well and continue to pile it up to become more and more complex.

Of course, in addition to steady accumulation, there is another way to upgrade heroes, which is war plunder. When defeating the opponent, obtain the usable "concept" parts from the enemy hero's fallen unit, so that the concept combination can be more perfect.

In short, Rudis needs "experience points".

...Under the righteous light of the crown, selfishness was covered...

When Ludis left Swan City, he made a final statement: "Enma, now we need to focus on the overall situation."

Staying in Swan City, Wei Keng looked at the industrial furnace that was still automatically started and whispered: "Yes, focus on the overall situation. The road is long and we must unswervingly carry out long-term struggles. We are new things, and new things still have vigorous vitality in repeated setbacks. This is our advantage. The disadvantage of new things is that in the early stage, facing the counterattack of reactionaries, they are fragile."

Enma turned his head and looked at the direction where Ludis's super-giant airship with steam clouds left. Whispered: "It seems that you have the help of the gods."

...Those blessed by the gods will succeed, and Wei Keng feels that fate has given him a "small shoe"...

Swan City is facing the empire's assembly of at least six legions that can be mobilized. If it holds on, it will be very easy for the accumulated power to be destroyed. Unless it is blessed by the gods!

Well, Ludis was indeed blessed by a miracle.

When his armored group vehicles launched the assault on March 7, the temperature in the north dropped sharply. While the three groups of the empire were standing still, he directly attacked the western front position. Due to the blizzard overnight, the circuit of the position failed, and the diesel engine could not reach the ignition point due to the continuous penetration of ice elements, and could not start.

Ludis's legion broke through the several kilometers thick fortress cluster and broke out with the deliberate release of water by the imperial army.

In the real world, artillery fire burst out a lot of flames on the concrete defense tower. In the etheric world, these flames are more magnificent, which means that the fire element has a stronger tunneling ability in reality.

In the etheric world, Enma also saw a golden light flashing on the main battle vehicle where Ludis was. He got the new concept parts, and the national morale concept cluster behind him was upgraded.

…For the city faction, the current situation is very good…

On March 20, eight major cities across the empire declared uprisings one after another. In the uprisings that followed, there were even cases where the revolutionary army directly arrested the governor, which made the reform forces very excited. For decades, the activities had been suppressed, and the sudden success, this seemingly real success, really made people feel a little dizzy.

However, at this time, how many people really understood revolution? In the major uprising cities, there were such scenes.

As the rebels rushed into the Governor's Mansion, they walked out with their belongings and paraded through the streets.

Some people in the mansions hid behind their houses, trembling.

Child: "What is revolution?"

Adult: "It means to raid the homes of rich people."

Child: "We are rich."

Adult: "Bah, we don't have money. It's none of our business."

Knock, knock, knock, door, population survey.

The adults immediately came to the door, put on a forced smile, and began to deal with the "impermanence" of this world.

The revolutionary investigator said: "Household registration, population, and property,"

Finally, he gave him a private note, "-Take this thing and go to the third district to collect rice."

Adult: "Military, what do you mean?"

Investigator of the Peasant Youth Association: "This is a rice ticket. Remember, this thing can be exchanged for relief food in the city now. If there is a change or chaos in the city, don't throw it away. When you leave the city, find our platform to exchange it with the ticket."

The children looked at the adults' surprised expressions, and a few hours later, they returned from going out with bread and smiling.

At night, the child had a dream and told the person what he felt in the dream. Of course, the next morning, he forgot everything in the dream in a daze.

That night, the adults exchanged intelligence from the night before.

The child's third uncle: "Do you know? As long as you go to the No. 3 street food station with a ticket to get fried noodles, you can get sixty dozen a day. By the way, you can also get money if you sew clothes."

... Spring is here, but late spring cold can happen at any time...

After the uprising in these big cities, the Peasant Youth Association immediately entered the city with food and weapons under the banner of revolution. As for seizing power? The insurgents in some cities didn't know what "power" was at all. The Peasant Youth Association almost collected the census and archival materials in these big cities. By the way, they were preparing to trade military equipment with the leaders of the rebels.

Compared to Ludis's overly optimistic attitude under the blessing of God.

Enma was not impulsive at all. He was even ready to give up the big cities at any time.

This kind of thinking was not only incomprehensible to urban revolutionaries, but also to members of the Peasant Youth Association. After all, suddenly holding power in a big city is enough to make some young people who have only been to school for two years and are still in a loser mentality forget themselves and want to take a gamble. Who knows, the empire may fall down with one push?

In response, Enma made a new statement in the newspaper in the name of a postman: "The empire may fall down with one push, but the reactionary group will definitely hold on to the end. And they are extremely cunning in changing various names."

Moreover, Enma believes from his own perspective: "Even if we give up the big cities, the enemy may not have the power. The imperial capital system, financial system, and even military bureaucracy are rotten to the core. Its corrupt group resells materials and transfers wealth during the crisis. It is impossible to solve the actual problems at this stage. The cities they control will inevitably collapse, and even they themselves understand that collapse is inevitable, so they start a dog-eat-dog fight, wanting to be the only survivor before the collapse."

But the problem is that giving up the big cities now will make the rural line belittled. When those urban factions are winning one victory after another, their arrogant mentality towards rural bumpkins will rise again.

In Swan City, as the siege eased and the revolutionary situation became clearer, the war would be fought in Swan City! In this battle, the Empire would put all its efforts, and fate would help the Empire to regain its glory to a certain extent.

Wei Keng's will always looked at the Wanlun Continent and judged from the perspective of the gods: Enma, who had mastered all the morale sources of the rural areas in the great uprising, also mastered one-third of the morale sources of the urban faction in the first uprising of Swan City. So it had to be "cut" anyway, otherwise the protagonist (Ludis) would not be able to suppress Enma, the "veteran" of the rebel army.

Wei Keng said sarcastically: "So, Swan City must be lost, and there must be a defeat for the rural bumpkins."

… As a "tracer", it has never been destined to use oneself to pry the world into change...

Enma simply sent the armored train from the east, and also sent a large number of technical workers, combined with the reliable worker teams identified in Swan City, to restore the hot industrial furnaces in each industrial zone.

A new batch of armored troops are being assembled. These are eight 400-ton "energy destruction vehicles" and a total of twelve vehicles, but they are divided into two categories, and the tonnage of each vehicle is 300 tons.

Among them, the "male" category missile vehicle has a firepower of two one-ton missiles. After these two missiles are fired, they can be loaded with their own mechanical crane.

Of course, the effect of the "male" type of vehicle is mainly to provide battlefield maintenance. The 15-meter-long mechanical arm has multiple mechanical forms, which can deploy a maintenance force field and repair damaged machinery. So it is code-named "Priest".

As for the "female" missile vehicle, it is a "launch nest" like a honeycomb, and twenty 200mm caliber rockets are fired at once. It also takes half an hour to fill the warhead, but the special effect is battlefield hysteresis. By launching the "electromagnetic pulse" tunnel interference warhead, inexplicable tunnel interference appears in the enemy's machinery, so that the mechanical efficiency is reduced and the speed is slowed down.

When Enma became the only military commander of Swan City, he took over here and began to resume industrial production, that is, to increase the number of troops.

Due to his immature mastery of some production lines of industrial furnaces, Wei Keng is still unable to build a "six hundred ton" knight chariot.

[The heavy knight chariot is half a meter thick pure steel armor. And it has reasonable compartments. Even high-speed armor-piercing bullets only penetrate a metal jet, filling the compartment with heat, and then it disappears. Such thick armor only takes real high-explosive damage. ]

In short, Wei Keng's current troops look objective in terms of tonnage, and can be regarded as a full-consumption formation led by a hero unit. But in fact, if it is confronted with the outside world, it will be hit by a large number of large-caliber artillery and fall apart. Most of the time, other commanders can only rely on architecture to deal with this type of troops.

Of course, Enma's special configuration, three chariots with different functions can produce different tactics. At the same time, outside, the various forces of the empire have changed the situation.

…59 days after the Swan City Uprising, on March 12, a thunderstorm was coming...

The emperor of the empire abolished the original cabinet on March 12 and promoted the new cabinet to power, meeting the requirements of some reformists in the empire. But a death order was also issued, and the opposition must be severely suppressed.

The imperial military also felt that the radical faction in the current revolutionaries was increasingly gaining the upper hand, and it must be suppressed to a certain extent. Let the moderate faction of the revolutionaries occupy the mainstream. Of course, the way to suppress is to fight a war and force the revolutionaries to face reality.

So the focus was on Swan City, the first city that dared to fight back against the empire.

On the 14th, outside Swan City, the imperial generals communicated at a salon meeting. Talking about the current situation in the empire. They toasted and drank together, and the tank cannon icon was determined on the map.

Almost, just a few hours later, Wei Keng looked at the industrial airships mobilized in front, and the original plan for large-scale industrial evacuation at the train station was temporarily shelved.

Wei Keng whispered: "If you want to leave, you still have to fight a battle." Then Wei Keng raised his eyebrows: "Then fight a battle!"-What this world can and cannot do, ultimately depends on strength.

On March 16, 3231 of the Fire Emblem Calendar, the largest-scale suppression war in Swan City began. The imperial military officially joined the suppression of the revolution. Fifty thousand troops were drawn up to press on, ready to make a final decision and establish the right to speak in this turmoil in the Sky Empire.

However, at the same time, it was confirmed that the Northern Agricultural Youth Group also drew a large number of manpower, wearing the hat of the revolutionary party, and had a clash with the imperial army.

At eight o'clock in the morning, there was still frost on the ground, and the imperial attack began.

Lilot, the general of the empire, frowned as he looked at the dusty position in front of him after the artillery bombardment. He believed that after such a bombardment, the rebels had collapsed, and there should be chaos in the buildings behind the position, and white flags were hung. But the position in front of him was still quiet.

But in the end he ordered a charge. Sure enough, when the black infantry arrived at the front line, they immediately encountered machine gun fire in front of the trenches and heavy casualties from pull-wire mines, which forced him to examine the battle of this suddenly emerging rebel army.

So, after the front-line imperial army withdrew from the battle, he bombarded again and then charged again.

However, the second bombardment and another charge surprised him. There was still a strong counterattack on the position. Two covering bombardments could not eliminate the position. Lilot felt that there was definitely an opponent in front of him.

Just as he tried to send fighters to observe the position, a cluster of guided rockets flew into the sky, and all three planes were hit.

Behind the tall building, an "Energy Destroyer" tank belonging to the Swan City Rebel Army was parked here, and the radar was rotating to detect the bombardment on the battlefield.

…In the tunnel headquarters where the rebel army kept dropping debris during the bombing, rows of telephone lines were constantly dialing to convey information…

Since the rebel army’s artillery scale was far lower than that of the enemy, they were unwilling to expose their counterattacks when they detected the enemy’s trajectory. It was just to provide prompts for the front-line soldiers to quickly enter the bunker.

Before the war, the professional engineers brought by Enma dug the position in a zigzag shape, and the slope of the rear side of the trench was very high to prevent shrapnel from bouncing, and every other area, there was an anti-artillery hole that could be directly hidden in, unless there was a frontal hit, there was basically no killing.

And such an excellent trench warfare, of course, requires an excellent organizational structure. Our soldiers have active and proactive combat flexibility, which is more flexible than the livestock soldiers driven by the nobles.

Whenever the empire launched a new round of artillery bombardment and fired shells, the defenders of the Swan City rebel army quickly hid in according to the command of the grassroots instructors.

In contrast, after the bombardment, the imperial officers wearing medals led the ordinary soldiers to attack the Swan City position. Facing the rocket artillery counterattack, these imperial soldiers who lacked grassroots instructors were like expendable animals. The imperial non-commissioned officers emphasized that they could not lie down and keep charging. The tactics were very rigid.

…If the things supported by human beliefs are regarded as consumables that can be overdrawn at will, then when the time comes, it will backfire, and even God will be helpless…

In the imperial combat organization, ordinary infantry are cannon fodder for meat reconnaissance, and only those elite heavy armored tanks are the valuable assets of the empire. Enma is just the opposite, believing that soldiers are the main thing.

Enma: "The most important thing for a unit is the military soul, which has the courage and wisdom to collaborate to complete complex tasks"

So in this battle to defend Swan City, Enma did not rush to create his own "Land Cruiser Fleet" like Ludis, but instead created some very "rustic" and "informal" urban counterattack weapons according to the needs of urban combat.

In the city of Swan City, from excavators to track laying, the power of the rebel soldiers is particularly important.

The Imperial Army did not know that the city they were heading towards was a dark trap. "

In the south of Swan City, on Zixi Street, armored vehicles like a hill crushed the road signs on the streets. Lilot, the imperial general in charge of attacking Swan City, sat in his Land Cruiser. He hadn't closed his eyes for 72 hours.

He originally thought that he could defeat the rebels in the city with heavy firepower, but after a series of artillery bombardments, he still couldn't take down the layers of outer positions after driving the infantry to charge.

He was a little anxious after promising "immediate success" before the war, so he started to activate the heavy armor units.

When five knight-level heavy tanks crushed the positions like a hill, even the most tenacious rebel soldiers on the front line had to endure a huge mental test and began to retreat. Of course, some After retreating, the brave warriors reported the observation coordinates.

In the city, Enma, which had also completed the armored assembly, and huge combat vehicles emerged from the cleared streets. Under the cover of the buildings on both sides, the "female" rocket launcher began to release the first wave of "electromagnetic interference warheads."

The knight-level heavy tank at the forefront stopped. Slowly turning, it aimed the 300mm caliber heavy artillery in the direction of the rebels' "missile vehicle". With a "bang" of firing, a group of shells fell, and a one-ton steel shell warhead smashed through the armor layer of an "energy destroyer", and then the 20 kilograms of explosives tore open the metal shell, and also broke the front armor layer of the rebels' heavy metal armored unit.

On the rebel side, one A 300-ton tank lost its combat capability.

However, the next scene will be remembered by the Imperial Army for a lifetime. The strong light emitted by dozens of mirror beam emitters around caused the Imperial tank to overheat and slow down. At this time, indirect artillery shells burst out from the surrounding sky and earth.

The mortar of the rebel army has a caliber of more than 500 mm and relies on urban railways for mobility. Its accuracy was originally only for offensive battles. However, with the "remote control self-destruct vehicle" passing through the trenches ahead and the deceleration of the "female" missile vehicle. The Empire's heavy mechanical units entering the city were slower than walking.

So, the heavy armor of the Empire was like a hammer hitting a steel shell.

The upper steel shell of the heavy knight was smashed into by the mortar shell, and then the cannon After the bullets were ignited, thermite incendiary agents burst out. After the first round of heavy artillery attacks, the rigid steel structures of the five heavy knights began to smoke. Then there was a boiler explosion and leakage. They had to shut down.

These imperial land cruisers were so arrogant when they came, and when they retreated, the tracks fell off and the steel wheels were off the axles. How embarrassed they were.

The large number of imperial cannon fodders who had originally followed the land cruisers, now saw that the "pillar" of the imperial war could not move, and began to charge in the opposite direction. They bypassed their own tanks and began to flee. Oh, there was no ideal picture of "brave enough to defend the imperial land trump weapon" that the imperial commanders hoped for.

Lilot, who was commanding in the rear, changed his face greatly. He suffered a great loss in this battle.
