Martins accepted Governor Gu's request without hesitation.
This is indeed at least one of the things they are good at.
The Space Marines are great, but the lack of numbers is always a big disadvantage. On any battlefield of a certain scale and intensity, it would be extremely foolish to throw elite but scarce Space Marines into frontal combat to compete with others, and the Space Marines themselves would not accept that kind of order.
No matter how hard the power armor is, to be honest, it cannot withstand a 155mm howitzer blast; no matter how powerful the bolt gun is, it will not be a big problem to penetrate the locally produced Challenger tank, but if it is on the top battlefield, it will be hit. When it comes to the regular Lion tanks of the Astra Militarum, or even the Lion tanks, it's just scratching the itch.
They are sharp knives and should not be used as hammers.
While Gu Hang needs three days to prepare his troops and launch a counterattack, five Phoenix warriors will sneak behind the enemy to find and mark high-value strategic targets.
Accompanying them were 28 soldiers from the Storm Squadron. They were the elite Marines on the original Quintet. Now they have been trained by Gu Hang to the T3 level. Their individual strength is guaranteed. Even in close combat, it is not a big problem to kill an ordinary green-skinned boy.
They will accept the temporary leadership of the Phoenix, obey orders, and act together.
Without any further ado, thirty-three people in total set off under the cover of night.
They set out from the southernmost side of the entire north-south front. In order to cover their actions, the 4th Infantry Regiment of the 7th Garrison Division stationed there also launched an active attack.
An artillery battalion was allocated to the joint artillery position in the rear. Thirty artillery pieces advanced five kilometers and fired twenty rounds of fire coverage in the direction where the infantry regiment was about to attack.
The first five rounds were fired rapidly, and the next four rounds were fired almost every three or four minutes, maintaining the overall bombing rhythm.
Those greenskins were blown away.
It’s not like they haven’t been bombed in the past. But generally speaking, when they launch an attack, those shrimps will ask for artillery support from the rear. At that time, there will be relatively fierce firepower to cover their attack or retreat route.
The main goal is to block their attack and cause damage.
Or after their iron barrel artillery fires, those shrimps often fight back.
Like today, it is not that I have never fired at my own position, but I only do it occasionally.
Like this, within an hour, 600 rounds of heavy artillery fell on a small area. This is really a situation that has never been encountered before.
At least, I haven’t seen the greenskins stationed here.
The orc leader here, named Gu Li, was not killed. The fortification he is in is a reinforced concreteOn the ruins of the building, various construction waste materials were further transported and built, which is quite strong. Unless the heavy artillery hits the fortification where he is, just fragments and shock waves will not be able to do anything here.
However, there are not many fortification structures in the entire position that can reach this level of protection. In addition, the shelling came too suddenly, and the casualties may not be small.
Of course, the main casualties came from the early stage, and those who were still alive later were all hiding in various anti-gun fortifications. It is true that there will still be a lot of losses, but they will always be within an acceptable range.
However, even if he understood this, Gu Li was still anxiously pacing left and right in the fortification, spitting out all kinds of green-skinned curse words.
He knew that the inexplicable violent firing of those shrimps was definitely not for fun. In his green head, he could clearly think that this was probably the prelude for those shrimps to take the initiative to attack.
But he couldn't run out of the fortifications at the moment and kick those boys' butts to cheer them up and prepare for the battle.
The cannon above your head will explode every few minutes. If you leave the fortification, you will be killed easily.
You can't fight if you're killed by a bomb.
He could only hold back his anger and continue to hide.
But soon, the opportunity for a fight came.
After the last round of shelling, no new shells were seen falling within ten minutes, but the sound of gunshots and shouts of fighting were heard.
He cheered up and rushed out of the fortification with a few boys.
We came to the ground that had been bombarded by heavy artillery, and the heat and smoke had not had time to dissipate.
He looked towards the direction where the gunfire came from, and not too far away, he vaguely saw the shrimps rushing over.
Those shrimps moved forward quickly, constantly detaching their manpower to clear out every fortification and building debris they passed.
In many places, Gu Li’s impression is that his own boys are stationed there. However, fighting took place in only a few of them.
In those places where there is no fighting, the shrimps just go in for a while and then come out again.
Gu Li could imagine that the boys he sent to station in those places were probably killed in the previous bombardment. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to watch Xiami walk in and ignore him.
How many boys died
He didn’t know.
He shouted loudly, "aaagh boys, get out of here, Xiami is rushing forward. It's time to show how capable we are in fighting. Don't let Xiami look down on us."
"aaagh"
The war roars of many green-skinned boys came from the surrounding area. A group of boys crawled out of the bunkers where they had been hiding. Some even fired out during the previous shelling. Among the surviving armed pickup trucks, someone rolled out an artillery piece tied with iron barrels.
However, the overall number seems to be much less than the estimated bone strength.
Half the people didn’t come out.
Those shrimps are still very powerful.
But it doesn’t matter
Even if only half of the people are left, they can still kill all the shrimps who dare to take the initiative to fight
Gu Li takes his subordinates Boys, charge forward
Observing the situation on the front line, Ledmesheko couldn't help but shake his head.
He was a sergeant in the original Caudill Company. Later, he signed up as a trainee political commissar during the recruitment of Lieutenant Colonel Thaddeus, and was then assigned to the army during the reorganization of Junk Town. He joined the 4th Regiment of the 7th Garrison Division and served as political commissar. His military rank jumped directly to captain.
The military ranks rose very quickly, but this was a very common situation among the old troops who had followed Gu Hang for a long time. The army is expanding very quickly. As long as veterans are loyal and willing to improve, they will be promoted very quickly.
When the rear headquarters asked them to fully cooperate with the Phoenix Chapter's actions, and the leader of the Martins Chapter asked them to launch a covering frontal attack, Mesheko resolutely carried out the task. .
He knew that their captain was not willing to do this. Even when the adventurers were reorganized into the regular army, they tried to disrupt the organization as much as possible and stripped off the influence of those adventure captains who became officers on the army. private properties. However, the nature of these former adventurers is still not so easy to erase.
They will instinctively fear such tasks that require a lot of sacrifice, especially to cover the actions of others.
However, this is the difference between a soldier and an adventurer.
Under his pressure and military orders, the 4th Infantry Regiment launched the attack.
Before a fight started, both soldiers and officers were afraid.
In the past, the shadow brought by the green skins to them was too great. Even if hundreds of artillery shells hit them in front and opened the way for them, they would still be instinctively afraid when they came up.
This is where Ledemsheko is dissatisfied.
But fortunately, after the fight started, the resistance the troops encountered face-to-face was not strong.
The greenskin troops were obviously stunned by the explosion. A large number of greenskins died in the fortifications. There were not many that could form resistance in the first place.
Those greenskins still showed a strong will to fight. In close range shooting, it still often took the lives of two or three people to kill a greenskin; In the close range, they are not soldiers of the Beast Slaughter Corps. Even if they have bayonets, they often don't dare to fight.
This is not a question of technical tactics or military skills, but a question of morale and courage.
But in the end, the 4th regiment defeated the greenskins with their greater numbers.
It turns out that greenskins can also run away. When a greenskin pops up from the fortification, then lookWhen hundreds of human soldiers came at them with guns, they would run away with their heads in their hands.
Some were beaten to death from behind, and greenskins like this were the most looked down upon.
Soon, the few green-skinned boys who escaped alive came back to kill them. Behind them, a large number of greenskins rushed out, the total number must be upwards of two hundred.
The greenskins howled and laughed at the fleeing boys, and the greenskins who were laughed at rushed back in anger.
In the exchange of fire, greenskins kept falling, and soldiers kept falling.
This is a bloody fight. When one greenskin falls, two or three human soldiers will be beaten to death.
If the fight continues with this exchange ratio, of course the human side will still win. Especially when they also took out weapons such as rocket launchers and mortars. An armed pickup truck that rushed over was blown to pieces halfway.
At most, it only costs about 500 casualties.
This is based on the worst-case scenario. In fact, when a certain number of greenskins are killed, their threat level will decrease sharply, and their morale will collapse and they will turn around and run away, just like the ones they encountered just now.
If we keep fighting, humans simply won’t be able to kill so many people.
But even so, the first to shrink back and not dare to move forward were the human soldiers.
The comrades whose bodies were beaten to pieces by the green-skinned powerful firearms made them terrified.
After suffering hundreds of casualties, they actually had a faint tendency to collapse.
Ledmesheko was furious.
He roared at the regiment commander next to him, "Look at these soldiers, they are a shame."
The commander of the 4th regiment had troubles that he could not tell.
It’s not like he didn’t give an order, requiring all the troops to maintain the front line and push forward hard, but what should I do if they just can’t push?
He didn’t dare to talk back. This red hat was sent by the Governor. The officers who came directly under his command had the role of supervising the army.
Looking at his appearance, Mesheko was even more angry.
"We must lead by example when we go to the front line together."
He took out his pistol and gave the regiment leader a hand.
The two men, as well as the guard company, began to press forward in person.
Mesheko knows that as a commander, the biggest responsibility is to direct the battle, not to be on the front line. Even if he is at the front, how different is his combat capability from an ordinary soldier?
But this is a special moment, and there is nothing to command. What the soldiers lacked was not strategy or tactics, but courage.
Then senior military officers need to set an example and take the lead.
While pressing forward with the guard company and regimental commander, he encountered a team that was fighting and retreating.
Mesheko was so angry that he found itThe company commander of this team grabbed him by the collar and roared loudly, "The military order given to you is to advance, advance, and advance. Who told you to retreat?"
"I" the company commander's face turned pale. Speechless.
Mesheko kicked him in the stomach, kicked him down, and raised his pistol to his head
"Retreating without authorization and being cowardly will be regarded as a deserter. "As an officer, the crime is aggravated."
"No, no," the company commander was still trying to argue, and the regiment commander standing next to Mesheko also wanted to persuade him.
But Mesheko didn’t bother to listen and just pulled the trigger.
The bullet passed through the head of the officer who had just obtained the rank of second lieutenant, and his body fell weakly.
Then, Mesheko shouted to the company instructor who was looking a little dumbfounded, "You now take over the command and lead your company, follow me."
Then The instructor nodded suddenly as if waking up from a dream, and quickly called the team.
Mesheko waved his hand again, gesturing for the guard company to follow, and at the same time said to the regimental commander next to him, "For the sake of the governor, we must win. You can't do what you did before. We are soldiers, not looking for it in the trash." A scavenger who eats food"
"I understand"
"Pick up a gun and fight like a warrior"
Looking at the regiment leader biting the bullet. After getting on board, Mesheko took the starting phone again and issued an order to the instructors of every company in the regiment, strictly instructing them to ensure that the troops were always in an offensive posture, and those who were afraid of fighting could be executed immediately.
Subsequently, Mesheko raised his pistol and fired into the air, shouting at the surrounding area, "Comrades, follow me in the charge."
Under his stern order, and with him and After the regiment leader led the guard company to personally participate in the battle, the timid attitude of the entire unit was finally reversed. Under the leadership of officers at all levels, especially the political chiefs under the instructor system, the team began to resume its offensive posture.
As the distance between the two sides got closer, the battle quickly became more bloody and cruel. The advantages of the greenskins in close combat were brought into play, and the human soldiers suffered greater casualties. However, at the same time, the advantages of the human side with more people and stronger firepower were still maintained, and the accuracy of close-range shooting was still maintained. Also higher.
Human soldiers continued to fall, and even officers died in battle, but the greenskins fell also faster.
When the loss of the 4th regiment reached 15, that is, when more than two hundred people fell, there were only about seventy or eighty greenskins left.
Gu Li clearly knew that they were in a desperate situation.
Because he was already at such a close distance, retreat was impossible; but the bloody battle had fully activated the warlike factor in his heart. His skin became greener, and his size also grew slightly during the battle.
"aaagh" he howled, rushing out of the bunker and rushing towards the nearest position occupied by human soldiers.
Under his infection, all green people still alivePi, all entered a violent state.
The final charge began.
Gu Li held a heavy gun and fired six times during the charge, killing five soldiers. At the same time, he was hit by at least hundreds of bullets. He was bleeding from everywhere, almost covering his green skin; one of his eyes was blinded, but the remaining one became more ferocious.
He rushed into the position where the infantry platoon was located, and instantly turned into a meat grinder on the battlefield. The thick-backed machete in his hand rotated like a whirlwind of death, and it only lasted for a short time. In a matter of seconds, all the soldiers here were slaughtered.
Although those human soldiers had followed tactical ethics and attached their bayonets to fight him as soon as he approached, the two sides were not on the same level in terms of strength, ability to withstand strikes, or even flexibility. He was stabbed seven or eight times by the bayonet, and his bones showed no signs of exhaustion. However, he killed all the soldiers who dared to fight closely with him with his backhand.
When all the courageous people die, the rest have no will to fight.
After all the sergeants were killed, the few remaining members of the infantry platoon fled in panic; after the company instructor who came to support also had his upper body shot off, the entire company began to collapse.
This formed a chain reaction. The greenskins who charged with the Bone Force, after paying more than 20 casualties, defeated a company that was attacking from the front, and then the two companies next to it were caught off guard. Next, facing the ferocious green skins rushing towards them, there were also signs of collapse.
Ledmesheko observed the signs.
He will never allow the victory he has won, and sees signs of losing it again. He immediately led the guard company to block the gap, and strictly ordered several surrounding companies to block it as well.
In his words, even at the cost of human lives, the remaining fifty greenskins can be killed.
Gu Li also saw the red hat who kept shouting, and he howled and rushed towards it. The loaded gun fired wildly in the direction of Mesheko.
In a moment, three or four soldiers around Mesheko were killed, and the green-skinned leader, who could not be defeated no matter how hard he hit him, came straight towards him.
Mesheko's mood was very calm at the moment.
He knew he had made a mistake. He had forcibly boosted the morale of the entire regiment, and he was now so close to the front line that the enemy could rush directly towards him. If he died here, the morale of the entire regiment might collapse.
At that time, it will really become a joke about thousands of people being overwhelmed by dozens of greenskins.
But this mistake has to be made. This unit, which had just been reorganized from adventurers, had not yet had time to implement the ideological work, and its morale was not high. If he had not done this before, I am afraid that it would not be able to reach the level it is today.
He knew the odds were against him, but he couldn't escape either.
He could only take out his pistol, standing still, his black coat swaying in the wind.
He held his head high and fired bullets continuously at the greenskin rushing towards him.
Even if you die, you must die standing.
He hoped that his appearance before death could affect the surrounding soldiers. The enemies are just at the end of their powerful crossbows. As long as they hold on for one more breath, they can all be killed.
The damage caused by the pistol ammunition to the green skin is quite limited, and it can only be said to be a symbolic resistance.
But at this moment, a blast of gunfire came from behind him.
Then, heavy footsteps quickly approached and quickly passed him.
It was a giant wearing red power armor.
The Emperor's angels have arrived.
The gunshots in front were obviously blasters.
The flying bombs hit the three greenskins behind Bone Li, killing them all with one shot.
At the level of a Space Marine veteran, at a distance of tens of meters, the bullets are flawless. The power of the bolt gun cannot be compared to the small water pipe of the G9 rifle. A shot hitting a green-skinned person would be fatal.
However, the two explosive bombs that hit Guli did not kill it. The previous shot, he turned and dodged at the critical moment. It was not because he was actually able to dodge the bullet, but because he saw the Space Marine who rushed out from behind the red hat and fired, so he made a pre-judgment action.
As for the shot that hit him later, it hit his right chest firmly and opened a big hole. However, the orc leader who fell into a rage only paused for a moment, but he did not appear to be weak at all. , continuing to howl and charge.
Gu Li had never seen a Xiami with a body shape similar to his own, let alone that guy's whole body wrapped in red cans. But he already felt that it was a powerful enemy, and he was excited that he could face such a powerful enemy
He raised his thick-backed machete high and slashed at the red-armored giant.
The charging phoenix warrior twisted his waist to dodge the slash, then revealed a combat blade and stabbed the green-skinned waist and abdomen. Following the force of the charge, with another pull, a large amount of blood mixed with internal organs sprayed out.
But Gu Li was not dead yet and even had the strength to fight back
He grabbed the Space Marine's arm with one hand, pulled it suddenly, and threw it with a twist under his feet. fell to the ground.
Gu Li turned over and pressed forward, grinning ferociously, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his waist and abdomen. He pressed the lower edge of the Space Marine's helmet with one hand, and raised the thick-backed machete high with the other hand, as if he was going to cut off the head of the phoenix.
However, this knife could not cut it down.
During this process, the Phoenix who fell to the ground and was pinned down quickly stabbed Gu Li several times in the heart and neck with a combat dagger, completely ending his life.
Pushing the corpse away, the red-armored warrior stood up and looked around.Hope, the battle is almost over. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
