Chapter 7 I believe. Anyway massive artillary and bombers,not to mention Rairtys having a nervous breakdown.
Time to make nations burn...
HYKRONS AIRFIELD:027MINS TO ZERO HOUR.
The makeshift airfiled was buzzing with activity,the massive four-Pegasus bombers lined up in thier hundreads to recieve massive bombloads that was loaded up by sweating grounds crews,Unicorns anti aircraft gunners boarded the midsection and tailsgunners,the flight crew also boarded the bombers.
The attack was to begin at dawn with a satuartion attack by bombers with single flight Peagsus as escorts to to protect the bombers and secure air superiotity,then could the close Pegasus support help out the ground forces in thier bid to capture the fortress and smash the worlds last bastion so Equestria could reign supreme.
Although the massive artillary barrage fired by gigantic railways guns and other monstorous machines would knock down the walls it would be up to the Equestrian airforce to bring the pain.
20MINS TO ZERO HOUR:In a record time of just seven minutes the 230 bombers and the 450 escorts were lined up on the airfields eighteen runways. The ground crews had set up lights along the tarmac and Earthponys were guiding the heavy craft to thier positions.
"Roll call,all bombers report".The tannoys called all across the 18mile long and 6 mile wide airfield.
"Bombers 1-57 ready". The first 57 took off to the sound of a horn,they thundered down the runways.
"Escorts 1-127 are off"The first wave of escorts for the bombers shot off and were airbourne before the much bigger Pegasus flown craft due to thier massive weight.
"First waves,form up,second wave clear to go,third and susequent waves you are clear to procced down runways 15,16,17 and 18,good luck Ponies and dont fail!".
04MINS TO ZERO HOUR:Artillary instillation 034-2.
The final checks to the huge guns were made,shells the size of houses were loaded onto a carasel and then transported around the guns to where they would be loaded up onto a evlavator before slotting into the gun barrel itself. The same went to the mulitple magic launchers where the Unicorns and Pegasus operated the launchers themsleves.
In less than six minutes hell would be launched from positions such as these,they would crack the fortress walls and destroy the final obstacle in the REM"s path. However nervous all in the military were,they knew that thier commander Silver sabre may be far away,but his example has transformed the REM from a poor force to the strongest arm of the Equestrian goverment.
It wasnt the royal guard that had made Equestria a super power..it was THEM the MILITARY that was to praise and when they returned from thier conquest,they would all be dissmissed and return to thier familys in waiting.
"Guns loaded,commence aiming,co ordinates 3023-4562 degress,all crews not essential,evacuate the area".Was the order in 02mins,in those 2mins the mile long barrels were slowly traversed to thier respective firing angles,wind blew out of the massive generators powering the guns.
"01MINS TO GO,ALL HANDS FIX POSITIONS AND BRACE FOR FIRING!"The sargents screamed out orders,checking thier time pieces.
"30 seconds to go,brace for impacts".The guns finished traversing.
"20 seconds to go"The guns were aimed and ready for fire.
"10 SECONDS"The massive wave of Pegasus bombers flew overhead".
"9,8,7,6,5"The banners of the Royal Equestrain Military shone over the trenches and the ponies in the mudholes,foxholes and the trenches prepared to race out into deaths mouth.
"4"The grounds forces opened thier mouths.
"3"The bomb bays on the bombers opened and a gigantic battle for air began.
"2"The levers were realesed on the railway cannons.
"1!"Nothing happened for a spilt seconds.
"FIRE!"All hell broke loose as a massive artillary barrage flew over the ground and knocked down the fortress walls,the banners of Equestia flew high and the grounds forces went "over the top",they screamed thier war cries as they braved hundreads of mines and snipers,masses of minitours,and ursas faced the unrelenting charge of the REM.
Behind the curtain walls of the grim fortress,thousands of tons of high explosives dropped and found thier mark,burning buildings and everything in the bombers path while thier gunners and Escorts tried to stave off dragons and interceptors.
This would have made Shining sabre proud.
