> Equestria At War: The Invincible Army > by Kitsune_Kenshi > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: A Regular Training Gone Wrong (Part 1) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year: July 12, 2020 Location: XX Military Training Camp, Kirina (China) 12th Red Army The sounds of explosions, tread crushing the soil, machine gun fires, and artillery fires rang throughout the training ground. A few main battle tanks roam by, followed by armored vehicles and well-armed infantries. Five jets soared above them, leaving ear-raping after burners while breaking the sound barrier. The 12th Red Army of the Kirin's Liberation Army (KLA) is having a huge Simulation Assault; it's divided into two teams, red and blue. The blue is the defensive side, while the red is the offensive side. Now, under Commander Fern Flaze, 12th Red Army's iron hoof first in command, they're making a deadly move on their "enemies". The artilleries platoon is firing their 152 millimeter howitzer, the five-mare crew worked as one, firing a single round every 10 second. The bangs rang in a pattern. You cans see how organized this army is. The 1th and 3rd Tank Platoon is forming an offensive formation, covering the armor vehicles and the infantries behind them, if you watch it from above, then this formation looks like an arrow. The skies above were ruled by the 34th "Storm Birds" Fighter platoon, 28th "Hellfire" Bomber platoon, and the AEWC (Airborne Early Warning and Control) KJ-2000. These birds are quick into action, once their enemies were locked by them, there's literally NO WAY to escape. They'll find exactly where they hides, carpet-bomb them, and leave the rest to the infantries. They have a nick-name: Rain of Fire. The infantries were formed by the 10th, 23rd, and the 29th Infantry Battalion, each battalion has 1,000 well-trained and well-armed mares, the second in command, Commander Autumn Blaze is leading the infantries. With her well planned strategies, there's hardly any battles she can't win. The 12th Red Army has a total of more than 3,000 battle-vehicle including mares. And yet what happens 30 minutes later is out of their imagination. (~) Year: July 12, 2020 Location: XX Military Training Camp, Kirina (China) 8th Heavy Artillery Platoon "GIVE ME THE COORDINATES!!!" shouted Captain Lime Grass, he's the leader if the 8th Heavy Artillery Platoon. Now his platoon is gaining coordinates from the UAVs to send in some heavy fire support for the infantries and the armored platoons. Right after Lime shouted, a male Kirin with a card stuck in his helmet ran up to him. He handed Lime a small pad with a bunch of numbers on it. He nodded before returning to his battle position. Lime then went towards the Artillery commander, giving him the coordinates. "ALRIGHT LISTEN UP!!!" the Artillery commander yelled, "HERE'S THE COORDINATES: 5, 7, -9, 6, 1! LIGHT' EM UP!!!" Immediately, the Artillery crew lunged into action. The gunners quickly lifted the barrel of the gun high up, while the other gunner turns the gun towards the targeted location. Once the gun rotation is finished, the loader opened up the cannon breach, the second loader brought up a 114 pounds High-Explosive round and placed it in front of the breach. Then two more soldiers came up with a long stick in their hooves, they pushed the round into the breach. The cannon breach then closed with a small "clang!". The gunner has the string that connected to the breach, once he pulls it then it'll trigger the entire howitzer. The Artillery commander has a small red flag in his right hand, he watched as everybody loaded their howitzer, then he dropped the flag in a swift move, "FIRE!" "ON THE WAY!!!" The gunners pulled the string. BAM!!! BAM!!! BAM!!! BAM!!! BAM!!! BAM!!!... The roars of 152mm howitzers rang in the firing site, bugging everycreature's ears. Dusts were scattered in every direction, Lime's ears were ringing, but he's used to it. Instead, he loves the ringing noise. The screams of rounds flying and explosions in the distance is amazing. > Chapter 2: A Regular Training Gone Wrong (Part 2) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year: July 12, 2020 Location: XX Military Training Camp, Kirina (China) 12th Red Army "Wait what?! What do you mean by, 'ending this too soon'?" Lime nearly barked at the radio, "WE JUST STARTED IT!!!" Just not too long ago, Commander Lime revived an order from the HQ, saying that they'll have to cut this Simulated Attack short due to a mysterious thunder storm coming their way. The position of the storm is creepy, it just appeared out of nowhere and currently advancing towards them. If it were just a regular storm then there's nothing to be worried about. But this is a THUNDER storm. Tanks are metal, jets are metal, and even their guns are metal. And what happens if a lighting bolt detects metal stuff? You know. Though Lime is pissed at the order, but consider the safety for her troops, Lime have no choice but to call back the simulated attack. Autumn Blaze never leaves a battle unfinished, even if she's ordered to leave. But this time, her hot-headed personality did not show, cuz no one wants to get cooked by a random lighting bolt. It turns out that the storm cloud is moving in quicker than they thought, it'd only been 10 minutes, but the distant thunderclaps and roars can be heard, but strangely, there's no flashes of lighting in the clouds. Instead, the cloud glowed in mysterious faint purple color. "Yo you see that?" a Kirin asked. "Yeah the fuck was that?" another one asked. "That's something we don't see everyday." Autumn murmured. But deep down she'd a bad feeling about this random storm cloud that popped out from nowhere. But they trust science, there's a reason for everything... Right? Suddenly, the storm cloud stopped, then it collapsed, like LITERALLY collapsed. The cloud turned into dark purple smoke covering the entire 12th Red Army like a giant Smoke Screen. "SHIT EVERY CREATURE TO YOUR VEHICLES!!!" Lime shouted, "PUT ON THE GAS MASKS!!! AND ON"T COME OUT UNLESS I SAY SO!!!" Autumn knew better, she immediately dragged two newbies into a ZTZ-96A, closing the hatch while putting on the gas mask. But the gas leaked in for whatever reason, and Autumn Blaze felt her head spinning a few second later. The mask isn't working. Fuck, she thought before blacking out, I'mma die due to whatever this shitty gas is... (~) "Ugh... My head..." The first thing Autumn heard was the moaning from a newbie, their gas mask is still on, but the mysterious purple gas is nowhere to be seen. Autumn took off her mask and breathed heavily, "Is anyone breathing still?" she asked, still wondering why didn't that gas killed her. "The newbie pushed the other one, "Hey, stop acting, Cap Autumn's gonna whip ya ass." The other newbie immediately sprang up, hitting his head on the roof of the tank. Autumn sighed, newbies... she thought. She opened the hatch and looked outside, her jaw dropped. Autumn clearly remembered that her battalion is training on a grassy field in the mountains, but this new environment did NOT match Kirina at all. Instead of grassy field plus mountains, it was a open plain with smoke coming out from the distance, bangs of artillery fire and explosions can be heard form the distant. Those sounds like rounds fired from 85 millimeter anti-aircraft guns and 122 millimeter howitzers, but... pretty sure they've 152 howitzers. Where did those come from? "Cap Autumn!" she saw a brown female Kirin running towrds her with a binocular, "You've gotta see this!" she pointed towards their 10 o'clock, where the smoke came from. "Thanks lieutenant Flare Grass," Autumn said as she watched the distant gun fire. What she saw made her realized that this is NOT a dream, but a literal living hell. > Chapter 3: Beat the S**T Outta Tiger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year: June 20, 1943 Location: Plain of Kursk, Soviet Ponion 35th Heavy Tank Division "BIAS!!! FIRE AT WILL!!!" Commander Kiev Silvershoes shouted, his KV-1 division isn't going through the best time ever, there's five Tiger tanks and ten Panthers in front o him and they're killing everyone. The loader picked up an AP round and stuffed it into the cannon breach, it closed with a "Clang!". The gunner searched the target and locked on to a Tiger tank. "FIRE!" Kiev shouted. "ON THE WAY!!!" The gunner stepped on the trigger. BAM!!! However, the round bounced off the angle on Panther's frontal plate. The Panther immediately aimed its 75 millimeter gun at the KV-1, and fired. The KV has zero defenses against Panther and Tiger, it blew up and cooked the crew inside. The turret flew at least few feet in the air before landing. "GOD DAMN IT!!!" Kiev pounded on the turret wall, frustrated. There is a way to destroy them, flanking. But here's the problem: They re heavy tanks, not T-34. They'd be dead before they reach the Germane tanks. "Varisi! See if you can shoot their treads!" Kiev ordered, make them stop until the big guns arrive!" Varisi, the gunner, lined up the tread of an advancing Panther tank, the loader stuffed a High-Explosive into the cannon breach and closed it. Varisi stepped onto the trigger, firing the main gun. In his scope, the Panther is immobilized, but its main gun slowly tiled towards them. Kiev saw it too. He sighed and closed his eyes, waiting for death to come. Suddenly, he heard Varisi's cry of excitement,"Kiev!!! The Panther! It's dead!" "What?" Kiev asked in disbelief, there;s only KV-1s in his division, all armed with 76.2 millimeter guns, they tickles the Tigers and Panthers. The only ones that can destroy or damage them were the 85s or the Su-100s. But there aren't any. Kiev opened the hatch, he saw the smoking corpse of the destroyed Panther. His eyes widened, the terrifying Panther... Dead... Its turret is displaced, someone detonated its ammo rack, seemed like it's hit from 3 o'clock. Kiev immediately turned his sight to his right. And his eyes widened again. as if its gonna pop out. "The hell are the Kirin doing here?" someone asked. "What's that tank?" another one asked. "Never seen it before." Then, they heard a female shout from the weird yet dangerous lookin tanks, "LIGHT' EM UP!!!" (~) Year: June 20, 1943 Location: Plain of Kursk, Soviet Ponion 1st Tank Battalion, Captain Autumn Blaze "LIGHT' EM UP!!!" Autumn shouted. It was her crew who shot that Panther, now, seeing the Red Army being pinned, she couldn't hold back her anger, she immediately gave the attack signal. "TARGET TO THE LEFT! 1,000 YARDS! APFSDS! FIRE!" Autumn shouted. The loader grabbed an Armor Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot round from the ammo rack and slid it into the cannon breach, it closed with a lovely "Clang!". The gunner used the ISFCS-212 lower anti-stabilization fire control system, which easily locked up a Tiger tank. he pulled the trigger. BAM!!! Without any resistance, just like a knife through the butter, the APFSDS round pierced through the side plate of the Tiger 1 and ignited its ammo rack. Causing the turret to explode and spitting sparks everywhere. BOOM!!! Here comes the fire work. "TARGET DOWN!!!" Gunner said. "SWITCH TARGET!!! 2 O'CLOCK!!! 1,000 YARDS!!! SAME ROUND! FIRE!" Autumn continued. A few seconds later, another round with fired through the 125 millimeter smoothbore gun, another monster shot which turned another Panther into a living torch. The APFSDS then came out from the other side and hit a retreating Tiger, turning this one into a torch as well. Meanwhile, Kiev's division was watching this battle... No, this MASSACRE, their jaws dropped. What kind of tank is that? More like demons from hell! Then, someone broke the dead silence and cheered, "Yeah! Beat the SHIT outta them!" Everyone started to cheer for the unknown reinforcement, Kiev has his arm crossed, he's thinking about talking to the leader of those strange tanks and having them to join his force. > Chapter 4: Literal Bullies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year: June 20, 1943 Location: Peak of Peril, Kirina 34th "Storm Birds" Fighter Platoon The first thing Captain Skyfire "Hunter" Blaze saw after getting pass that mysterious purple clouds were the Changelings' Zeros fighters. Some o this teammates thought that they've accidentally ran into a film work. But after being shot at and dogfight at, no one doubt this isn't real no more. “Oh what kind of bloody shit is this?!" Skyfire's wingman (I'll use wingman cuz I can't think of a right term to use.), Thunder Flames shouted, Cleary he did not see this coming. "It's the god-damned Changelings in World War two!" Skyfire shouted back, "And this airspace is loaded with a whole flock of shits!" Skyifre quickly turned off the heat-seeking lock, activating the PL-13 Active radar long-range air-to-air missile. Hearing that familiar low humming noise of missile lock, Skyfire himself, too, began to hum. It's not long until a loud and long "flatline" noise was heard, indicating that the missile had locked onto a target.... Whoever that lucky piece of shit is. (Yes, I EXTREMELY hate the Japanese Army in WW2, no offense.) "Have the target in range." Skyfire said before pressing the trigger, "Fox 3." The missile rocketed-out from under the left wing, PL-13 soon reached the speed of Mach 4 (Yes that's real just search it up), comparing to the advanced jets, the Zero fighters were total garbages. No radar, no protection plates, and sloooooooow speed (Comparing to the jets), it won't be long until every single one of them is fucked up. The worst part is that the Zeros were all huddled up in a tight formation, which made it easier for the missile to get a Muti-kill. Due to the lighting speed of PL-13, not a single Zero see what's coming nor to react. All they saw was a flash of light and... BOOM!!! The missile exploded in the middle of the crowd, the shards took down more than 10 planes at a time. A bunch of "Nani?!" were heard. In the leading Zero's cockpit, Captain Drax Akashi, a middle-aged changeling, he's jaw is literally touching the floor of the plane. A moment ago, his platoon is flying towards Peak of Peril for a bomber escort mission, and the next second, an explosion came out of no where and took down one-fourth of his platoon. Ok... JUST SINCE WHEN DOES THE KIRIN HAS ANTI-AIR WEAPONS?! And no Anti-air weapons, according to their knowledge could do such damage. "Captain!" he then heard his wingman, Sharp Horn asked in panic, "What the bloody hell was that?!" "How the fuck am I suppose to know?!" Drax spat, "Attention all unit! Spread your formation, and try to dodge those unknown weapons!" Clearly Drax underestimated semi-active radar long-range missile. The Zero's top speed is only 351 miles per-hour, comparing to the "Storm Birds"'s J-10C fighter jet, which can fly up to Mach 1.8... The result had already shown. Sadly, those idiots had no idea. Suddenly, another explosion and 15 planes were blown to shreds. Drax's expression changed from shocked to dumbfounded. He literally saw the planes did some intense maneuvers before getting shot down by... Whatever that thing is. "C-Captain!" he heard Sharp Horn whimpered again, "W-w-we s-should g-go!" "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" Drax shouted, "THROW THAT FUCKING COWARD FACE OF YOURS AND TAKE OUT YOUR PRIDE AS A MEMBER OF EMPRESS'S ROYAL AIR FORCE!!! WE TAAAAKE THEM OUT!!! WHATEVER IT FUCKING TAKES! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! DO YOU UN----" BOOM!!! Right before Drax can finish up his speech, a PL-13 lunged at him and blew him, his wingman, and the other six planes into pieces, as if this is a coincidence. See, even fate decided to take this jerk out... Captain Skyfire, meanwhile, is having tons of fun. So are his platoon. Or to be specific, they're bullying the Changelings. But these assholes totally deserved it. They kill and rape innocents, not to mention that they just brutally raped and killed an entire town of Kirin just two days ago. (In the actual history, the Japanese did those stuff to the innocent Chinese kids, elders, and women during world war 2.) "LEZ GO!!! ANOTHER DOUBLE-KILL!!!" one pilot exclaimed. "Oh shut it! I've just got a triple kill!" Another one shouted. "You both SHUT UP! Here's a MUTI-KILL!!! HAHAHAHA!!!" Skyfire sighed, "Guys, keep it down, you all have to go back to 1st grade or what?" Sometimes his teammates were just immature. Especially a 18 year-old who just joined a few months ago, poor kid, now he's addicted. Suddenly, his radar started to beep, he looked down and saw what's coming. The J-10s had already flew overhead, now they're gonna have to face the Zeros head-on. "ATTENTION ALL UNITS!!!" he shouted into the radio, silencing everyone, "We're approaching the Zeros, switch to your infrared short range air-to-air missiles or cannons. Cuz we're gonna go into a dogfight dance party!"
