Plainspire
One week later, 4 of the military observers from Karak have finally reached the frontline. Things they see during their journey are more shocking than seeing through images by magic before they come.
War machines and soldiers are sent to the front line endlessly with vehicles that have the same speed as their carriers, even the Soviets did not tell them how many soldiers they have sent to the front line, but they are sure it is more than the whole army of Karak.
By the time they arrived at the front line, the whole Red Army had finished resupplying and again started their assault on Plainspire. More than 1 million troops have rushed into Plainspire, and are ready to encircle the whole city that is only 800km away from them.
The one who welcomes the military observer from Karak is the commander of the 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division, Colonel Mikhail Moiseyev. Looking at these 4 people, two of them are male and the other is female, who is wearing gorgeous military uniforms that look like an ancient army. Together with their dragon that is flying in the sky.
He does not know how should he welcome these guests when he first time sees them, so just does a simple salute and introduces himself.
"Colonel Mikhail Moiseyev, welcome everyone from Karak to have a look at how our army fights."
4 of them respond with a Karak way of Salute, and one of them, who looks like their leader, also introduces himself to Moiseyev.
"Captain Thalos here, I am honored to be able to visit your army and observe you in action."
And the other does not seem like they want to introduce themselves. Seeing this, Moiseyev only responds with a smile awkwardly, he does not mind, but they will soon take back their arrogance after seeing the power of the Red Army.
In the next two weeks, the Red Army successfully advanced for over 800 km and reached below the Plainspire. The battle is more crucial and brutal than before, the Red Army suffers much more heavy casualties.
Due to the electromagnetic interference here, they could not get any air support and also missile support, they could rely only on their traditional mechanical, conducting a war that is like World War II.
Upon that, they also meet many more challenges that are created by the top engineers of Nazg. Dora, which can convert the Red Army soldiers into zombies, Anti-tank trenches, that are built effectively by the undead Borer, and many more.
For these situations, the Supreme High Command has given a cruel but effective order, to speed up and send more men to the frontline. For those generals in Moscow who experienced World War II, how would they mind if the casualties were below ten hundred thousand?
All these decisions made the Red Army reach Plainspire in a week, directly crushing all enemies that stood in their way with unstoppable force.
Thalos and the other military observers, emotions changed from shocked to numb since the battle had begun, they had seen many new types of the way fighting all this time, no matter from the undead side or the Red Army, but more on the Red Army, their strength makes them do not have any guts to resist them.
It will have the same ending if the Karak army meets the Red Army, just the time matters.
Voren, standing on the city wall, looking at the Red Army in the distance, thought that this moment had finally come. The fate of the entire empire had been decided from the moment of the invasion of the Soviet Union, and what was being done now was just the last resistance. Even if it is so, he still decides to fight until the end, no matter how it goes.
Moiseyev looking the tower that kept sending energy to the sky through binoculars, for a week, they finally reached here.
"Can we just destroy the tower there, so that our planes can also support us?" he asked his adjutant.
"Negative, Comrade Commander. Not only in our division, but the other also tried, we tried using 2s3 Akatsiya to shoot it directly, but all the shells were blocked by the energy shield of the tower. Some other commanders request to continue the bombardment for a longer time to see if they can break the energy shield, but the request is rejected by the high command, the high command ordered to save shells and bombard the city together with every division here two days later." The adjutant answers.
"So you mean we will need to take down the whole city to destroy the tower?"
"I afraid it is true, comrade commander."
Moiseyev feels this idea is stupid, how many soldiers will be sacrificed for this? He suddenly thinks that there are military observers here, maybe they will have some idea about this. But their answer disappointed him, it was an even worse choice, compare their suggestion and the High command one, the High command one is more acceptable.
"General, the Plainspire requires more power to take down, I believe the Red Army strength now is not enough to do it, so it is better to wait for some time or retreat first, and take it down next time."
The tower is one of the core technologies of the undead, it is advanced in the whole magic world too, if the Soviets hold this technology, then the whole world will not be able to do even a little damage to their army. But they can not stop them from taking down the city with force, so they try stopping them with their suggestion, yet, they will disappoint again.
-----
1st Guards Tank Division commander looking at the new arrival of tanks, feeling more confident for the upcoming battle. More and more experimental weapons have entered his troop and also the other few guards' divisions and the new tanks that arrived now, have stronger firepower.
A few days before he just received another patch of improved BMP-2, which had a new name of BMP-3, and now he is receiving these tanks. The motherland production is rapidly increasing now.
"What is the code name of these tanks?"
"Object 292 comrade commander, T-80 chassis with 152mm cannon, an experimental product for our next generation tanks."
The commander feels a little bit shocked, the T-80 was deployed to the army not long ago, and so fast they already started developing the next generation, have to say wars boosted technologies.
Only a few hours left, and their army will start their bombardment against the city, he is confident that the Red Army will enter and capture the town today.
A few hours later,
"3...2...1...Fire!"
As the countdown ended, 50,000 various types of artillery started to bombard the city. Of course, the city does have an energy shield, but it could not compare to the energy shield of tower one, it does not hold long, and after half an hour of the bombardment, the shield breaks.
Shells fly over the wall and explode inside the city, destroying buildings, and making them into ruins. The inability to use aircraft and missiles does not weaken the Red Army, but instead stronger.
The Soviets even pulled the retired B-4 203 mm howitzer M1931 and Br-5 280 mm mortar M1939 out of storage to increase the firepower of the troops. Truth proves that these old antiques are still efficient in those years. The B-4 and the 2S7 Pion, their gunfire has created a beautiful symphony, especially the 2S7 Pion, every time it fires, just like metal banging on a bell.
The bombardment lasted for 6 hours, from dawn to noon, the whole city became ruins, not a single building could be found inside the town, and the city wall had also been blown into pieces.
Then, it was time for the armored forces and infantry to attack, with thousands of tanks, BMP, and BTR rushing towards the city. They successfully entered the town without any resistance, and many soldiers disembarking from BMP and BTR started searching for the remaining enemy.
Soon, they met their enemy, the enemy appeared from the front, left, right, and behind. But under the heavy fire from vehicles, these enemies fall before they can get close to them. Troops then report the existence of tunnels inside the city, with this found, there is also a solution for it, release XK-17 chemical weapons.
A large number of gas canisters were sent into the city, soldiers then activated them and threw them into all the tunnel entries that had been found. Even though the tunnel has the function of anti-chemical weapons like this, a large amount of entry has also been found, making it useless.
Voren watches all these happen in the tower, even though he already knows the ending, but seeing that the carefully built defense line was so easily breached by the Red Army, and even delayed them for less than a day, he couldn't say anything but sigh again in his heart that the fate of the empire had been decided.
Notice that there are already some Red Army reaches below the tower, he then walked out of the tower and was ready to launch a desperate charge against the Soviet army.
Soldiers when they see someone who looks like a human walk out of the tower, try to ask him to surrender, but Voren ignores and also does not understand their language. He drew his sword and charged towards the soldiers. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of them. Before the soldiers could react, he cut them in half. The BTR behind him just turned the barrel to aim at him and was also cut in half, killing the members inside.
After killing this group of soldiers, he immediately looks for the other to kill.
However individual bravery could not stop the Soviet army's powerful steel torrent. An Object 292 is just near the BTR, immediately turns his cannon, and aims at Voren, a high explosive shell is shot at him.
Even with Voren's ability, he can only just briefly dodge the shell, yet, the fragments from the shell still injure him. He does not give up, he knows vehicles with a big tube will need some time for the next shots, so he takes the chance and again charges on the tank.
But this time he miscalculated. When his sword chopped the vehicle, the same scene as when he chopped the BTR just now did not happen. The vehicle was not cut open by him, but only a white streak was left on its thick armor.
Just for the moment, he is stunned for not cutting through the tank, bullets that are shot by soldiers are flying towards him like waves, and he has no choice but to run and dodge it.
Voren is thinking of ways to destroy the tanks, but also at this time he is escaping, and more Soviets have reached. He is then been surrounded by more and more Soviets. Every time he kills a dozen, then immediately there will be another dozen.
A high explosive shell exploded right under his feet, blowing him away and sending him crashing to the ground.
Just when the Soviets think they have killed him, miraclely, he stands out again, but this time he has no more energy to charge the Soviets. Looking at all the Soviets around him, he raises the sword to his neck, and suicide desperately.
Voren resistance is just a minor episode in the entire siege. The battle began at noon, and at night, the Soviet army had already cleaned the whole city, and the Red flag had also been raised on the tower.
Every soldier, no matter whether outside or inside the city, could now see their flag, which meant the Red Army had already captured the city, and their morale instantly rose.
But someone's morale has gone to the opposite, military observers did not congrats for the victory, but shockingly see the flag, even though they know the Red Army is strong, but they did not expect them to take over the whole city in only one day.
"Reports the news back to Karakum."
The news was instantly received by King Aric in Karakum, then Aba Aba in Octa, and also the God of Death. Everyone knows that the world is going to change soon, one of the strongest dominions in the world has been defeated easily by another new country that is already so strong within 3 months after they launch the counteroffensive, meaning an unstoppable superpower will soon appear in this world.
