After receiving the news, Gu Hang couldn’t even eat well.
Ten thousand greenskins, including more than 3,000 serious orcs, and the number is still increasing.
There are already differences in the combat capabilities of individual soldiers, and the biggest gap is in the ability to resist strikes. Now, the opponent also has all kinds of crude and ridiculous heavy firepower and heavy equipment whose power cannot be ignored
This is already a very huge threat.
Good guy, Gu Hang was planning to wait until two days later to call for orbital bombing and then launch a full-scale counterattack, but now it is those greenskins who are going to attack with all their strength first
Fortunately, this This information has been detected in advance. If it is really unprepared to receive such an impact, there will be a big problem.
Gu Hang was thinking about a solution.
First of all, the mobilization of troops must be accelerated.
The troops who are still resting in the joint military camp must be gathered urgently.
The number of soldiers currently on the front line has actually been reduced to about 50,000. There are almost 50,000 people taking turns resting and reorganizing in the rear.
Although the frontline has lost half of its manpower, it is actually much more stable than when the adventurers in Garbage Town were stationed before. After the adaptation, it has more reliable equipment and its military skill level has been greatly improved. Improved soldiers can fight a lot more than adventurers.
However, isn’t this about preparing for an impact or even a full-scale counterattack?
Of course, the follow-up troops must go forward and serve as a reserve team, ready to put out fires at any time.
Of course, if it is not used, it is definitely the best.
The orbital strike firepower that I asked for from Yelicia earlier was just to solve similar problems
If those greenskins were scattered one by one and hiding in the ruins of the city, it would be really difficult. Easy to fight. The power of the orbital strike is fierce, but a city that is already in ruins can still be blown to smithereens. Those greenskins hiding in the ruins bunkers have strong vitality. If they are in the core area of the orbital strike bombardment, they will definitely not be able to do it. He said that he would definitely die, and he was buried to death. But if you live in a marginal area, you might be able to survive quite a bit.
But now, they have gathered together and cleared an open area as a starting point. Doesn’t this make it clear that they were sent to him?
Gu Hang has the intention to let Yelicia first helped with a small-scale, but more targeted bombardment.
Use a few thermal hammer macro cannons and ten scalpel ship-based missiles to blast directly at the starting position. It may not be possible to kill all the greenskins gathered there, but I'm afraid it will kill 90% of them. is not a problem.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Gu Hang still suppressed this tempting idea.
I am too impatient to eat hot tofu, so if I fry it now, I will not get the maximum benefit.
What Yelicia can win for him is the opportunity for a round of bombing, so he must seize it.
Be patient, be patient. What he has to do now isLet his troops be prepared to deal with all challenges and take the initiative, and then patiently wait for intelligence from the front before making decisions.
Deep in the ruins of the tower, while walking, Martins suddenly asked Schneider next to him a question
"There is something wrong with these greenskins, do you feel it?"< /p>
Schneider thought for a moment and responded, "There is nothing wrong with them. They are no different from the greenskins we have eliminated in the past."
"This is the biggest problem." Martins Said, "They shouldn't be so powerful. Their number is not large enough, just tens of thousands of green skins, which is not enough to support a disaster. If the green skin spores fell on this planet for some reason, they took root and sprouted. , and then this clan developed from scratch. At this stage and in this number, they should only be able to maintain a very primitive technological state, even if the original natives of Junk Town gave it to the greenskins during the battle. We need some brains to accelerate their development, but green skin technology of this level should not appear so quickly."
"You want to say that these green skins are not purely developed from the local area." Schneider's attitude. He also became cautious.
If this is the case, and these greenskins come from a powerful, interstellar clan, then we are in big trouble.
But soon, Schneider rejected this idea: "It's unlikely. There have never been any reports of attacks from alien forces on the Raging Owl. If the greenskin clan that really has the ability to interstellar navigation is eyeing this... Due to their characteristics, a few large battleships will not be sent to a planet, carrying hundreds of thousands or even millions of greenskins. After landing, they will multiply rapidly and flood the planet. This is their routine. "
As for what Schneider said, Martins also agreed, "So, this is the most contradictory part of the whole thing. We must remind our brothers that these greenskins cannot be killed in this operation. Simply look at it as the kind of wild orcs and primitive orcs who need to be more vigilant. I really don’t want to see the loss of a battle brother in the battle at the power plant outside Fuxing City. ”
Hearing what the Chapter Leader said, the other four also fell silent.
They no longer talk much.
There is no difficulty in finding the enemy's base camp by following the routes used by greenskins to transport supplies and replenish troops.
On the second night of departure, they had already found their target.
Of course those greenskins are also making full preparations for war. Their base camp is brightly lit and their factory is bustling with activity.
The Space Marines and Storm Troop soldiers do not have the ability to sneak into the base camp. After all, without the conditions for makeup investigation, cross-racial investigation can only go as far as this.
But enough is enough.
They marked the greenskin base camp, marked the greenskin military factory, and then found three large-scale incubation farms in the surrounding area. Those huge ones, likeTropical plant things grew strongly among the ruins of the city.
Just as Martins told Gu Hang before, this is definitely not an ideal place for green-skinned orcs to thrive. Even though these green skins have tried their best to carve out a relatively flat area, expose the soil as much as possible, and connect as much water as possible, the soil is not suitable, the light is insufficient, and the water resources are not sufficient
The green skins It is tenacious enough and can grow out one after another in such an environment.
Now is the harvest season for green bark plants. They saw with their own eyes that under the light, they saw huge fruit pods on the twisted plants, hanging downwards, and something seemed to be wriggling inside. Then suddenly, the fruit pods opened directly, and a The green-skinned creature fell out of it.
This process kept happening in front of them.
Most of the time, what falls out is a beast of different sizes but similar shape.
This thing is called Squig, a kind of orc livestock that has always existed in the greenskin tribe. These creatures lack intelligence and are ferocious, with a set of fangs and mouths that can open to an exaggerated size. But in fact, they function as livestock in the green-skinned ecosystem.
Some are used for beauty salons, some are used for food, and some are raised by orc boys as pets, and the largest ones can even be ridden into battle.
These squigs feed on all kinds of garbage.
The squigs eat what the orcs don't eat, and the orcs eat the squigs.
Together with fungi, they have become the main source of food for the orcs.
Besides Scroogemon, the second most numerous are the Goats.
This is the orc's servant, cannon fodder, and food if necessary.
And even fewer are serious green-skinned orcs.
Whether it is a squig beast, a grunt, or an orc, they are in an adult state as soon as they land.
It is really the harvest season in this hatchery farm.
If all the three incubation farms we checked were hatched at this efficiency, I am afraid that within a month, the number of green-skinned orcs alone would have to be increased by 20,000, and there would be at least many more grunts. Fifty or sixty thousand came out.
Martins is now glad that he seriously warned Gu Hang about the risks involved. Fortunately, Gu Hang listened to his warning and did not ignore the threat.
Otherwise we will be in big trouble.
The next thing is relatively simple.
It’s nothing more than marking coordinates.
It can't be very accurate, because when they marked it, they were still a certain distance away from the target location. Even at this distance, they encountered greenskins several times, but they were silently slaughtered by them.
With the greenskin's discipline, if a few people are thrown away, they should not be able to notice it. They will also die a lot in their own internal fighting and fun every day.
But even if the marking is not very accurate, it doesn’t matter much. Probably this location will do. The macro artillery bombardment still covered a large area.
One scalpel missile can almost destroy a small wind farm, let alone a much more powerful macro cannon, as well as a large macro cannon like Tadatsuki's Wrath.
Of course, in order to improve efficiency, they still set value levels for these places.
The two most valuable points are the base camp and the starting position where the greenskin troops are gathering.
Secondly, the arsenal, the incubation farm, and the place where the murder canisters in the greenskin army are located are more deeply marked. Then, I marked a bunch of places that I couldn't explore in depth, but were suspected of being valuable.
After completing these tasks, they stayed away from the greenskin base camp, and then informed Governor Gu of the news.
Then, they quickly received a reply from the Governor
"Leave the area as soon as possible. You have 14 hours to escape from the orbital strike. Please ensure your own safety and After the orbital strike, confirm the strike effect."
"Thanks for your hard work"
Reply to the task force's message. Afterwards, Gu Hang let out a long sigh of relief.
All preparations are finally completed.
He contacted Yelicia again, mapped out the relevant attack coordinates, and told the brigadier general that all actions were going as planned.
Tomorrow, at 1100 Terra Standard Time, the orbital strike will arrive as promised.
His troops will complete pre-war preparations before then, eat well in advance, and then launch an attack on the enemy from the front after the orbital bombardment is over.
The green-skinned orcs confronting them on the front will not receive too strong a bombing. At most, there will only be a few scalpel missiles, which will accurately hit several key positions. The macro cannon will not go here. Smash.
The main reason is that the macro cannon is too powerful, has a large coverage area, and is not as accurate as the scalpel missile. If you tilt it up a little, you can easily cover your own position.
It's better to blow it up a few times with a scalpel and leave the rest to your own army.
On the front line, the leader of the 3rd Independent Regiment, Ruji Likosi, who is striving to regain the title of his beast-slaying regiment, has just concluded the combat meeting and sent away all the military and political workers who came to inspect. Archdeacon Thaddeus.
Lieutenant Colonel Thaddeus conveyed the governor's order to them. At a meeting attended by military officers and instructors from all company-level units and above in the entire regiment, it was announced that the 3rd Independent Regiment would be launched tomorrow. In the all-out counterattack at noon, as a fist and as a vanguard.
Their goal is to tear apart the greenskin defense from the middle of the entire defense line, completely capture their position, cut the front into two sections, and form three mechanized complexes in the middle. Create intersecting spaces.
Subsequently, heAfter the subsequent friendly forces come up to take over the position, we must allocate troops and accompany a combined battalion to carry out a retreat to the north, cut off the retreat space of the green-skinned orcs on the north side, and complete the encirclement with the friendly forces in the front, completely Destroy the greenskin orcs there.
All the commanders and combatants listened in silence to the battle goals and requirements described by Thaddeus.
The silence continues.
But this is by no means fear or fear.
Li Kexi could see a fire in the eyes of his subordinates.
And he himself is like this.
They have waited too long.
"Okay, let's all go back." Li Kexi broke the silence, "Go back to your respective companies and get ready. There are still 13 hours until noon tomorrow. The staff will send tomorrow's information The offensive tasks will be broken down and will be delivered to you tomorrow morning at the latest. This is a battle that we have been waiting for, and it is also an opportunity that we never dared to think of in the past. I only have one request: we must fight well and we must be worthy of it. The people we have lost are worthy of the hatred we sacrificed our lives to avenge, and worthy of the opportunity given to us by the Governor."
"Roar" The officers stood up loudly, and then returned to their respective teams.
Andrei Alexei, who was transferred to the Independent Regiment as political commissar, was a little confused. Just now, he wanted to boost the morale of the officers as the chief political officer, but he found that it was not necessary at all.
Leader Li Kexi patted him on the shoulder and didn’t explain much.
The soldiers of the Beast Slaughter Group don’t know how many of them can really sleep well.
But they will force themselves to take a good rest, all in order to show their style tomorrow.
Tonight is extremely long.
No matter how long the night is, there is always time to get through it.
The sky was bright. Li Kexi woke up and went to the front line of the army to check.
He watched the soldiers eating, watching them inspecting their weapons, and watching the officers talking to the soldiers
All of this made his anxious heart inexplicably calm down. .
They have done everything they can and are just waiting for the order to attack.
The issued pocket watch ticked to eleven o'clock noon.
The order to attack had not yet been issued, but he first saw many red light spots appearing vaguely in the sky.
Meteor Shower
No, he quickly overturned this idea.
This should be part of the powerful strike that Lieutenant Colonel Thaddeus said before.
At that time, he thought it was the artillery position in the rear that would fire with unlimited ferocity, but it seemed that it was more than that.
He watched the red meteor shower streak across the sky, then get closer and closer, and then fall into the endless ruins in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, two huge, almost cage-likeThe ball of light covering the city suddenly appeared.
Accompanying these two huge balls of light, there are many smaller ones, but due to the obstruction of building ruins, they are not so real.
This scene feels inexplicably strange. There is only light and no sound, as if you are watching a silent movie.
But what they were waiting for came soon.
The earth is shaking.
As if there was an earthquake, some soldiers who were unable to stand even staggered. Even some ruined structures that had been weakened by artillery fire in previous battles collapsed in the shock.
Fortunately, the fortifications they were hiding in were specially reinforced, so there were no casualties as a result.
Then there was a shock wave accompanied by a huge sound
It was like a strong wind blowing, with a sense of heat. Many people took a few steps back because of this. Chest feels tight.
Although they felt very uncomfortable physically, from Li Kexi down, all the soldiers of the 3rd Independent Regiment felt happy in their hearts
The place where the explosion occurred was Deep in the ruins of the tower, where the greenskins are most entrenched
From dozens of kilometers away, the aftermath of the explosion can be felt so clearly, be it the scorching heat or the shock wave, in the core of the explosion What about those greenskins here
Even if the vitality of those monsters is much stronger than that of humans, they will never survive such a blow
As long as they eliminate those in front of them. The enemy, this green-skin disaster that has spread for several years and gradually become more and more serious will end in their hands
Li Kexi can't wait to command his troops to launch a charge. .
But it’s not yet time.
The order to attack still hasn’t come yet.
But, a whistling sound came from above.
The artillery positions in the rear began to show their power.
On the joint artillery position, one hundred 155 howitzers were lined up one after another, with the barrels pointing to the sky and firing continuously.
The production of artillery shells is limited. In order to support the logistical supplies of a total of hundreds of thousands of troops, Wei Xingcheng has to produce a lot of things. Armored vehicles, bullets, guns, equipment, explosives, grenades, rocket launchers, artillery
They have worked hard to increase the production of artillery shells, but they still cannot withstand too intense consumption.
However, since it has been decided that today is the end of the battle, there is no need to save.
Hundreds of artillery pieces, firing at full speed. At a speed of 500 rounds of artillery shells per minute, it rained down cannons on the orc position in front of them.
This is an all-out bombardment that has never been seen before. The artillerymen no longer care about the life of the barrel or the consumption of artillery shells.
They planned to use 15,000 rounds of heavy artillery on the green-skinned orcs' position within half an hour. The current total artillery shell reserves are less than 20,000 rounds.
The remaining four to five thousand rounds of artillery shells are also not in the province, but will be left to cooperate with the infantry attack.
When the artillery opened fire, Ruigi Leekosi finally got the order to attack.
He couldn't wait to convey the attack order to the entire regiment.
More than 5,000 soldiers of the 3rd Independent Regiment need to move to a position about 200 meters away from the enemy position within 25 minutes and be on standby. They had five minutes to rest, and at the moment the bombardment ended, they launched an all-out attack on the orc positions.
