    The flames of explosions rose one after another, black gunpowder smoke filled the night sky, and scarlet blood flowed everywhere Such a fierce battle had already made Irishman Devon Burke and his commandos eager to try.  At about 2 o'clock in the morning, the order to attack was finally conveyed. This elite night fighting force of more than 900 people completed the battle assembly in just 4 minutes.  The neat queue was silent. Colonel Burke climbed onto an "Irish Leopard" parked in front of the team with his agile hands, and carried out pre-war mobilization in concise and generous words: "Warriors of the New United Kingdom, you have passed through layers of  You have been selected from all levels to come to this army, and you have trained hard day and night to forge a steely body and will. For what purpose? To kill the enemy and serve the country! What you have learned in the past will be tested tonight, and your loyalty, you  Your honor will also be tested tonight! Remember, as long as you overcome the fear and selfishness in your heart, you will be invincible!" The commandos shouted the slogan: "Conquer yourself and you will be invincible!" Colonel Burke raised his right arm and held it.  Clenching fists: "Now, according to the No. 1 combat plan, each team will immediately go to the preset assault position. When they see two red and two green flares, they will decisively attack! In this battle, we will fulfill our mission and show off our military power!!  "The commandos once again shouted the slogan: "Fulfill the mission and show off our military prestige!" Colonel Burke waved his right arm: "Go!" At the same time, at a hidden airport near the border in northern England, people from  The ground crew of the New United Kingdom quickly lifted off the tactical camouflage net covering the fighter planes.  Under the bright searchlight, a series of strange-looking aircraft showed a faint blue metallic luster.  These aircraft have neither wide wings nor slender fuselages. Their bodies look like tactical bombers with only the rear half of the fuselage, with a pair of oversized four-blade propellers on top.  Under the wings, there are two parallel rocket launchers hanging, and there is a large-caliber machine gun hanging on the belly of the aircraft - these are the "Sky Cavalry" jointly built by the New United Kingdom and Germany, the VS-3 two-seat armed helicopter.  Although their technology is not perfect yet and their performance is relatively primitive, this does not prevent them from becoming new sharp weapons with actual combat capabilities.  In a bunker near the tarmac, Irish Lieutenant Colonel Paul Matthews, wearing the new United Kingdom Army Air Corps armband, laid out the combat plan to the helicopter pilots: "Squad 1, take off at 2:45, take the east route, 3  Arrived at the fortress area at 05:00, stayed for a maximum of 5 minutes, returned from the west route, returned to the airport at around 3:30, and replenished fuel and ammunition in 15 minutes. The second team took off at 3:00, and the third team took off at 3:15.  Team 4 took off at 3:30, and so on. Remember, our assault force uses special red flares. Don't be fooled by the enemy's flares and mistakenly attack our own people.  Most of the anti-aircraft firepower has been cleared. If necessary, we can attack at close range, but we must beware of the enemy's ordinary bullets. According to the order of the command, the British army will temporarily withdraw from the fortress area, and our operations will be directed by the 51st Infantry Assault Division.  Provide support!" "Understood!" 48 pilots from 24 crews of the "Black Bat Squadron" responded in unison.  Lieutenant Colonel Matthews raised his hand and looked at his watch: "Okay! Everyone, get ready! I wish everyone a successful first battle!" When the pilots left the bunker, the northern sky was illuminated by bursts of red light.  "Oh, another round of fierce bombardment!" Seeing this scene, a pilot sighed.  Judging from the frequency of the red light, it was indeed covered by a fierce artillery fire.  Another pilot said half-jokingly: "The artillerymen must have been unhappy when they were pulled out of their sleeping bags!" Someone answered: "Do you thinkis this the English, the Austrians, the Americans or us?"  "The artillery is firing?" Another person responded: "The Americans are just joining in the fun, so they don't need to be so desperate. The British artillery has been firing all day long. Even if the gunners still have strength, the ammunition supply may not be able to keep up.  It was either the Austrians or us who fired!" Then someone immediately analyzed: "Since our night combat troops are going to attack, it must be our artillery clearing the obstacles!" The topic only lasted for a short while.  Everyone returns to their respective positions and works with the ground crew to prepare for takeoff.  On the forward position more than 30 kilometers away, the divisional artillery of the 51st Infantry Assault Division of the New United Kingdom was pouring artillery fire on the central area of ??the fortress area and the northeast and northwest areas.  In addition to the two conventional caliber howitzers, 105 mm and 120 mm, the bombardment also included the Venom-II self-propelled rocket launcher. Although the number was only 12, the momentum and destructive power it created was even greater than that of a traditional artillery unit.  The teacher must be stronger.  shortAs soon as the shelling ended, three assault groups of the 51st Infantry Assault Division entered the fortress area from the east, south and north.  After a day and half a night of fierce fighting, the huge Elsden Fortress was like a city that suffered an eight-magnitude earthquake. Ruins were everywhere, with only a few of the strongest buildings still standing.  Before dusk, Elsden Fortress was completely surrounded by the coalition forces. The reinforcements of the Scottish army could not come in, and the defenders could not get out. The number of Scottish troops in the fortress became smaller and smaller, but the remaining troops not only did not surrender.  , instead they counterattacked fiercely under the cover of night. Several coalition forces were divided and surrounded by the enemy in the fortress area. Most of them were able to break out. There was also no news about two company-sized English troops. They were probably annihilated  Near a T-junction in the southern area of ??the fortress, two "Irish Leopards" led the way. The infantrymen lowered their heads and bent their waists, cautiously moving along the ruins.  Just an hour ago, this was the defensive area of ??the 7th Infantry Division of the British Army. After being temporarily withdrawn to the outside for rest and recuperation, the British quickly withdrew without waiting for friendly forces to come to change defenses, even leaving many dead behind.  Corpses of companions.  On the road, the assault detachment of the 51st Division of the New United Kingdom was still advancing slowly. Two Irish Leopards arrived at the intersection one after another. The soldiers quickly occupied the surrounding ruins to establish a plan to continue advancing in depth.  Tactical support point.  At this moment, the rattling roar of the Brown light machine gun suddenly sounded from a pile of ruins to the north. A series of bullets fired at them, instantly knocking down three soldiers.  That's not all. After a while, there was only an ear-splitting roar, and a ball of orange flames jumped out of the darkness a little further away. A shell roared in, and it hit the "Irish Leopard" at the front of the row impartially.  ", but the penetrating power of the shell was weak and was bounced off by the turret armor of this tank.  So, so, so, so!  So, so, so!  On a ruins less than 30 meters away from the intersection, two machine gunners wearing M43 field helmets controlled an HBT-V machine gun and fired at the location of the Brown machine gun with lightning speed.  This 5.6 mm caliber HBT-V general-purpose machine gun based on the German MG-43 is currently only equipped with the army of the New United Kingdom and has not yet been exported.  Compared with the original MG-43, their rate of fire, range, structure and components are basically the same. Although the penetration of the bullets is 35% lower than that of the 7.92mm Mauser rifle bullets, the three-dimensionalization implemented by the new United Kingdom army  , mechanized combat mode, the single-shot power of the squad machine gun has nothing to do with the overall situation.  After firing two short shots and seeing no movement from the enemy, the HBT-V temporarily ceased fire with its bipod deployed.  The shooter's face rested lightly on the butt of the gun, and his eyes scanned the front through the reticle. A square ammunition box was placed in front of the ammunition supply hand, and he was also responsible for observing the surrounding situation.  The tension and excitement of entering the battlefield for the first time are written on these two young faces.  On the other side of the intersection, the two "Irish Leopards" quickly adjusted their positions, facing the enemy with the most defensive front, and leaving the weaker defensive sides and rear to their own infantry.  They turned their guns, one fired illumination bombs at the location where the gunfire had just appeared, and the other prepared high-explosive bombs for counterattack.  Although they cooperated very well, after the flares were lit, the tank members failed to find the defenders' artillery. In this night battle environment, it is indeed difficult for tanks without infrared sights to find and eliminate hidden guns.  Enemies in the dark.  A moment later, a clanging sound of steel tracks running over the cement road came from the south, and several Raider-I tracked infantry fighting vehicles were seen rumbling towards them.  Knowing that their vanguard troops had been attacked by the defenders' machine guns and artillery, they quickly arrived at the ruins thirty or forty meters away from the intersection and found a temporary position. They opened the hatch and the infantrymen who arrived in the car immediately used 80mm mortars.  Cannons were thrown into battle.  With the support of infantry fighting vehicles and heavy mortars, the front was able to continue to advance.  Infantrymen wearing M43 field helmets and yellow-green camouflage combat uniforms crossed the intersection and walked through the ruins, carefully searching for the remaining defenders.  Most of them were carrying STG-45 assault rifles, with the butts on their shoulders and the muzzles pointed slightly downward, maintaining a standard shooting forward posture. A few were carrying 50mm rocket launchers, ready to fire off stubborn enemies at any time  Over time, the new 51st Infantry Commando Division reoccupied most of the perimeter of the Elsden Fortress area.  At first glance, it seems that this is the embarrassing retreat of the English army, which requires the coalition forces to repeatedly capture the battlefield. However, without the retreat of the English army, how could the defenders be caused to disperse from several heavily defended strongholds, making the already very cramped situation possible?  Troops being diluted?  Accompanied by a deep roar, the first batch of six VS-3 two-seat armed helicopters arrived at the Elsden Fortress area at low altitude. The flashing green light was a signal for them to identify themselves to their own ground forces.  The new favorite of the Army Air Forces of the new United Kingdom entered the battlefield for the first time. There was no fanfare or an open appearance. Instead, he chose to do this.In a dark and windy environment, "sneaky" onto the stage of war
