Father of all bomb

"Damn, where the hell are all these shells coming from? " Chernov asked, looking at the bombardment from the opposite side of the river. Enemy shells could hardly hit them since they were on a reverse slope.

"It seems like they are from the Valeria Navy guns, but the question is how they send their navy guns here." Aria answer.

"Valeria... I meant there is a river here, isn't it easy to transport anything through the river?"

"Of course, but setting up a navy gun on a spot isn't easy, especially a Valeria one. Setting it up on a spot may take months, producing one make also takes another few months, sometimes even half a year. It is almost impossible for Valeria to produce so much cannon in just two years. Unless they send their navy here, I don't see any of them now."

"Is there any way to find out where they are shooting from?"

"It is difficult. Valeria doesn't use the same power system as us. Their power comes from the gods, while ours comes from our bodies. You can spot it out in the near if you have the power from God as well, they usually fire from a distance."

"Power of God? I think I have one. Go prepare yourselves, we will do something tonight."

Somewhere behind the front.

"How is the situation in the front line now?" Orgarkov asked.

"Our assault was halted. The strong firepower messed up our plan, and those precise weapons destroyed all our bridges. Many of our forces were forced to split, part of them were in the opposite of river while the others remained. " Colonel General Ivan Gerasimov, commander of the Ukraine Front, explained to Orgarkov.

"What will be your solution?"

"My staff and I were still thinking about it, as I say, the biggest threat comes from enemies' precise weapons, as long as we can destroy them, we can still cross the river with just slightly heavier casualties. It will not affect the upcoming operation."

"I will think out a solution for that. Any more detailed information about where probably will they launch the precise weapon and cannon?"

"Yes, we suspect that they camouflage the precise weapons in the forest. However, we were still looking for the enemy's cannon. The highest rank of officers on the opposite of the river is Colonel Chernov, the one who gets the power from the 'Will of Nation', he reported to me that he will do something to try to spot the enemy cannon tonight."

Orgarkov thinks for a while about all the information provided.

"Alright, prepare your troops, we will conduct another forced crossing the river by tomorrow. The Air Force will be joining to coordinate with you all, apologize for not helping today, they were affected by the radiation from the hydrogen bomb."

"As for the enemy's precision weapons, the Air Force will deal with them. The research and development team has recently developed a new type of weapon that is very suitable for duelling with camouflaged enemies."

At night,

Most of the cannons had stopped bombarding, except for a part of it, where they were ordered to make Soviet soldiers not have a good sleep.

Chernov climbed to a small hill and, using his night vision binoculars, observed the other hills covered with grasses and trees. Yet, nothing was discovered.

"Comrade Colonel, are you sure the enemy's artillery is in these hills, I don't see any shit here." Sokolov complaint at a side.

"Of course, Sokolov. There must be something here. It is just somewhere we haven't spotted yet. The Air Force can only arrive by tomorrow, so we have to rely on ourselves before that. Our friendly forces will also conduct another forced crossing again. If we can find them out, we can minimize the casualties. Everyone, we are moving forward."

Chernov laid down his binoculars, and his eyes turned red again. He could see some faint gold smoke in the distance. Perhaps it is what Aria said about Valeria's power, Power from God.

Soon, Chernov and his men, a group of Spetznaz performed another few kilometres of advance. Now, he can finally see the smoke clearer, with a deeper colour of gold, and also where they were from.

The smoke was expelled from those hills. 

Looking closer and in detail, they can see all the cannons hiding in the middle of the hills.

"Here you are! Finally found you." Sokolov said excitingly.

"Calm down Sokolov, I believe there is more than this, inform friendly forces, and ask them to send reconnaissance troops to find out all these positions. Also, mark this position, and send it to the artillery, I believe they have already reached their position as well."

"Affirmative."

Just as Chernov ordered, explosions happen above them, bringing a scene just like the fireworks explode, but with some screams of pain from the Spetznaz.

"Ahhhhh! My legs."

"Ahhhhh! I'm hit."

"Godammit! Shrapnel Artillery Air Burst, why the fuck is our enemies has this type of thing."

"You should not be surprised since they even have 381mm navy guns shooting at us."

Suddenly, at the back of the group, a voice of charging appears.

"Comrade Colonel, there are a lot of orcs appearing in our back, we are surrounded."

Meanwhile, inside the hill.

"General, I have ordered you to fire at the enemy trying to sneak attack us. The orcs have also surrounded them; they have nowhere to hide." The commander of Valeria, in front of the Chernov group, reported to General Gregor using a unique communication technique similar to video calls.

"Not enough, our enemies are stronger than you think, lower your navy guns and fire at their positions, does not need to worry about the orc's life, they don't worry too."

"Understood General."

After finishing discussing with the commander, General Gregor knows that the Soviets are now hurry to know about their artillery position.

"Ordered our troops to stay alert for the Soviet's possible attack or recon, once spotted, eliminate them with our navy guns, do not let any of them leave alive, else our position will be exposed."

However, Gregor still underrated the Soviets. Somewhere beside the river, an MTLB carrying a device called 1RL239 counter-battery radars has been deployed. It is now working. He recorded all the positions he spotted and sent them back to the command post. Of course, due to the current electronic level of the USSR, if better accuracy is needed, manual guidance and correction are required.

Back to Chernov.

"We need to leave these hills immediately, else we will be done when they use the navy gun to fire at us. Ask the artillery to cover the position you send them. Request reinforcement from the base."

Sokolov did not hesitate to do that, asking artillery cover for the position may also cover them, as a Spetznaz, they were the most loyal soldiers of the motherland. No one will hesitate to sacrifice themselves.

"Sent! The bases have sent an armoured column to bring us back."

"Alright, now everyone who still can move, breakthrough together with me."

Somewhere in the rear,

A group of unseen multiple rocket launchers was set up in their position. Different from the older type of multiple rocket launcher, they have longer rockets.

The radio operator of the battalion reached the commander,

"Comrade Commander, fire mission."

The commander reviews the radio operator's recording and sends his order to the rest of the battalion.

"Attention! Grid 48-72, 56-14! Prepare to fire!"

The operator of each vehicle starts setting their rocket according to the coordinates. 

"Fire!" The commander ordered.

Rockets with flame tails immediately launch and fly over a distance of almost 60km before they reach the target zone. These latest rocket launchers were known as the BM-30 'Smerch', with a heavy self-propelled 300 mm multiple rocket launcher to fire a full load of 12 solid-fuelled projectiles.

When these rockets smashed heavily on the ground, everyone near it felt the power. Luckily enough, one of the rockets hit directly onto the target in the middle of the hill. The rockets fly deeper into the ship and explode. The strong explosion further ignited all the ammunition that was accumulated in there.

"BOOM!"

A huge explosion happened, a mushroom-shaped smoke rose, and the whole hill exploded, leaving a hole in the ground.

"URAAA!"

For those who still fighting with the orcs, morale was boosted. But for the orcs, this is the collapse of their morale.

"Where is our reinforcement?"

"They are coming, but the terrain here is terrible, they need more time."

"Inform the base, and ask everyone to join the battle, we have already a breakthrough in this direction, we must keep the momentum."

"The bases have known, they will send helicopters to assist us."

A while later, the first column of the VDV form with BMDs and 'Shilka' reached, clearing the remaining orcs. On the river, large amounts of BMD which have the amphibious ability are crossing.

On the other side, Zaitsev has sent the second wave of forces and they have arrived, their BMPs and other amphibious vehicles are awaiting their turn to cross.

Once the rest of the orcs have been cleaned, dawn has come. Chernov and the VDV rush to the rear of the enemy, where their cannon can no longer reach them due to the angle.

When hundreds of planes appeared in the sky, thousands of vehicles and soldiers were waiting to cross the river. Everything came to the end. Among these planes were a few Tu-95 bombers, carrying a weapon that was less powerful than a nuclear bomb but more cost-effective.

MIG-23 and 21 are the first to cross the river, clearing all possible threats to the bombers.

"Attention to everyone. Enemies may have anti-air weapons. Beware of that, and we must clear this threat for our bombers." The squadron commander speaks.

While they fly towards the target area, ground forces also start crossing the river. In the early morning, the reconnaissance force, the GRU Spetznaz belonging to each army corps, started infiltrating the Valeria lines and navy guns position, to guide the strike.

First, the artillery and multiple rockets will clear all the possible threats around these hills, especially bombardment done by the Tos-1, their thermobaric bomb does these with a high efficiency.

Next, it was the formation that was formed by various armed helicopters, three in a group. They will first use their autocannon to suppress fire on the position while approaching them and in the end, use their rocket to fire at a close distance. This was proved to be effective, one after one, the Valerie ship and navy cannon, exploded.

After that, the engineering troop starts to build the bridges again, even if this will attract the enemy's precise weapons, but the necessary sacrifice will be needed. The enemy will only have a few times of chances to do that, the Red Army Airforce is here.

In the sky, the MIG-21 squadron is the first to reach the area, their mission is easy, detect the enemy precise weapon position, or attract the enemy's anti-air weapon to fire, giving them a friendly chance to destroy them.

Sure enough, rockets with tail flames rose from the ground, some flew to the front line, and some flew to them.

"Enemy SAM, prepare to dodge. Command, enemy spotted in areas B2 and B3." Finish speaking, the pilot pushes his plane and throws flares, trying to evade the missile by lowering its altitude.

These MIG-21s, then send what they spotted to the commander, now the A-50 AWACS. Inside the A-50, operators and commanders recorded all the situations that happened and reported by the pilot and then assigned the mission to the other. By spotting the anti-air position, the position of the precise weapon can also be detected.

"Copy. MIG-23 do your job and stand by."

MIG-23 squadron who received the order lowered their altitude as well, as multi-role combat fighters, they can conduct ground attacks as well. Some of them, choose to throw cluster bombs, and some choose to just launch Air to Ground missiles, no matter how the Valeria anti-air position will be destroyed.

"Commander, these are some enemy precise weapon positions, some are spotted by our men, and some we get through calculation." In the A-50, one of the operators reported to the commander.

The commander nodded his head and ordered.

"MIG-23 squadron, continue your operation on enemy precise weapon positions, XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Bear-1, you will deliver the present in the C4 area."

"Copy." A short reply from Bear-1.

A Tu-95 then adjust its flying position, flies towards the C4 area, and drops the bomb when it reaches. The bomb is released, descending rapidly with a parachute to ensure optimal dispersal of its fuel-air explosive mixture.

As the bomb nears the ground, its casing ruptures, releasing aerosolized high-explosive particles over a wide area. Milliseconds later, an intense pressure wave ignites the airborne mixture.

A blinding sphere of fire erupts at the detonation point. The temperature soars beyond 2,500°C, vaporizing everything within a 300-meter radius in an instant. The oxygen in the air is consumed in a flash, creating a massive vacuum effect.

A shockwave surges outward at supersonic speeds, compressing and shattering trees and rock alike. The sheer force of the explosion creates an air vacuum, causing an intense implosion as the surrounding atmosphere rushes back into the blast zone.
