Roasting Ax, along with the sinful Terror Tank he was driving, were blown up by fifty rounds of 155mm howitzers falling from the sky.
Intense artillery fire came down, and he, who had just regained his power, had no time to leave the explosion range.
And his armor, no matter how powerful it is, cannot withstand such a baptism of fire.
Of course, accidental injuries are inevitable during this process.
Within two minutes, there were still many soldiers on our side who had no time to run to safety. Even if you find a bunker on the spot, if you are too close to the explosion area, you will still die.
But this is the necessary price.
Gu Hang’s proactive attack only minimized the cost.
Of course, one or two hundred fewer soldiers would be valuable.
The death of Roasting Ax also marked the complete collapse of the front that led the orcs to confront the human army in this area for more than a month.
Furthermore, after their morale collapsed, the greenskins had no way to escape.
Human armies are surrounding them from both sides. Even if they can fly and escape, they still cannot escape.
And this is exactly Gu Hang’s goal.
What he wants is not just a defeat, but also an uncompromising annihilation.
Although the casualties were not small in general, more than a thousand soldiers were probably killed or wounded during the full-line attack. But the result was that at least four thousand greenskins were wiped out. Among them, 70% of the enemies were killed by the artillery that rained down in the early stage.
At this moment, Gu Hang saw new changes taking place in his event panel.
Event Green-skinned Threat
The green-skinned orcs that appeared inexplicably on the planet have grown into a threat that cannot be ignored in the past few years. But under your leadership, the heroic warriors not only defended the intrusion of the green-skinned orcs, but also annihilated their main force through orbital bombardment, artillery coverage, and full-scale force attacks. However, whether it is the intelligence from the front or your own feeling, these green-skinned orcs look very unusual. They do not look like wild orcs that developed independently on the Raging Star, but they also do not look like the wild orcs from the planet. Invading space beasts.
The first stage goal has been completed
The first stage reward is the t5 additional unit training option Beast Slaughter Group, which has been obtained
The second stage goal identification green The reason for the rise of skin.
The second stage reward is an important piece of information
In the event panel, the first stage reward of the green skin threat has been settled.
Gu Hang could already see the training options for the new additional unit, the Beast Slayer Regiment, in the weapon card interface. As long as it is a unit above T5, if you spend more gifts, you can add part of the special attack effect on the green-skinned orcs to the unit.
As for the beast-slaying trait that was directly given to the third independent group for free, it can actually be included in the first-stage rewards, saving him 60 points.Gift.
And the second stage was what Gu Hang wanted to do. It was just the reward of the so-called important information that made him a little concerned.
What will it be?
We will know when the time comes.
After looking at the updated event information for a while, Gu Hang stopped paying attention.
The situation on the battlefield is still the top priority.
After dismantling the main resistance of the green-skinned orcs, the large army rested on the spot. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they all ate dinner delivered by the logistics and rested for another hour and a half. We set off again at 6:30, heading towards the depths of the tower ruins.
This is not radical.
There should still be a small number of greenskins surviving in this position, but it is no longer important.
It is not enough to ignore it at all. After all, the follow-up troops will continue to perform tasks deep in the ruins of the tower, and logistical supplies also need to be transported here. The safety of this place still needs to be protected.
So, Gu Hang left the 6th and 7th garrison divisions, one in the north and one in the south, responsible for continuing to clear out the scattered greenskins that might still be alive in this position, and as a reserve force to ensure logistics. line security.
Let’s not list the cleanup mission for now, it’s not difficult at all.
The main force advanced into the depths without encountering any difficulties.
The previous orbital bombing was no joke. Under such a large-scale attack, very few greenskins could survive.
In particular, the most important targets, the starting position of the green-skin offensive troops and their base camp, were hit hard.
Other places received relatively light firepower, but the number of green skins themselves was also small.
As the troops advanced along the way, they could still occasionally see some sporadic green skins popping up, but they were not a threat at all.
Of course, in order to ensure stability and the later stage, a garrison division will still be left behind for every twenty kilometers traveled.
While ensuring logistics access, they are also responsible for eradicating the local green-skinned orcs.
Soon, at nearly 12 o'clock that night, the troops arrived at the gathering place of green-skinned orcs that the Space Marines had previously reported.
According to the latest information before the orbital bombing, there should have been more than 4,000 green-skinned orcs and three times the number of grunt cannon fodder gathered here, as well as a considerable number of more than what was encountered before. All require more sophisticated heavy equipment.
However, now there is only a huge crater and a large area of debris.
In the center of the greenskin assembly area, there is a huge crater with nothing in it. In theory, thousands of people could be united in this huge crater, but now they are all gone.
No bones left in the true sense.
On the periphery of the crater, some suspicious wreckage began to appear.
Look at thatFrom the appearance of these wreckage, one can roughly guess that these should be the corpses or pieces of equipment belonging to some greenskins.
But it is just a guess.
For pieces that have no shape at all, things that melt and then cool down, I can only guess.
Further away, there will be some parts that can be identified as belonging to something before they were destroyed, such as fingers, half-legs and the like. Here, the corpses will appear denser.
Only in further places can you see individual complete equipment wrecks, such as overturned, charred tattered trucks, immovable murder cans, and relatively complete charred corpses.
The green-skinned orcs who gathered here bravely and high-spirited, ready to set out to destroy everything, suffered a devastating blow here.
I don’t know if there are any green-skinned orcs who survived the bombing, but even if there were, there must not be many alive, and they must have run away long ago.
Gu Hang is still very satisfied with the impact of this attack.
But the only thing that made him feel slightly uneasy was why the Space Marines did not send him any information about the impact of the strike before.
This should not be the case.
After the special operations team completed marking the targets for attack more than ten hours ago, they left the area that may be affected by the orbital strike. They had about ten hours to evacuate. The problem shouldn't be big.
You don’t even need to retreat that far. As long as you maintain a certain distance and make sure that your place is not marked by orbital strikes, there will be no artillery fire from space. Naturally, you will be safe. Hit.
After the orbital strike was over and the magnetic field of the wireless communication stabilized, they also had a call with Gu Hang to reassure themselves that they were safe, indicating that they had not been affected by the orbital strike. At the same time, they also Accepting Gu Hang's request, he went to the two most important strike targets, namely the greenskin army's assembly area and base camp, to explore the effects of orbital strikes.
Logically speaking, given their distance, they would be able to find out the situation quickly.
But the actual situation is that the large troops led by Gu Hang have seen the situation of the green-skinned orc assembly area with their own eyes, but the special operations team, which should have reported the information long ago, has no news at all. came.
It is twelve o'clock at night, already very late. All the officers and soldiers experienced a battle starting at 11 o'clock in the morning, and continued to advance among the ruins to clear out the greenskins. After arriving here, except for a short break for lunch, all the officers and soldiers had no time to rest. Very tired now.
It is not easy to let large troops move anymore.
He found the communications soldier and sent a radio communication request to the Phoenix Chapter.
No response.
He felt even more wrong.
He called Perbov to arrange his troops. After a rest, he decided toEarly in the morning, Tian Yi headed towards the direction of the green-skinned orc base camp mentioned in the previous intelligence, and made a forward reconnaissance. If he encountered the green-skinned orcs in the process, there was no need to conduct a special clearing operation. The most important task was to find the special operations team. trace.
Gu Hang was quite worried.
Although there are five Space Marines in the action team, theoretically there will not be any big problems, but
When fighting against the original Angry Owl Sect, one of them can be sacrificed What about the Space Marines, let alone against the Greenskins?
In particular, these greenskins look slightly different from wild greenskins that develop independently from spores.
Wild green skins and space green skins are both green skins. There is no difference in body structure and social form. It is just that the latter has developed more powerfully, has a higher technical level, and has a powerful Orc warlords and even orc warlords rule.
The most terrifying orc disaster in the legend happened seven thousand years ago, and that disaster almost destroyed the entire human empire.
But before the powerful space orc clans are eliminated, the orcs that have grown independently on certain planets and have not yet become a great threat to the galaxy will be called wild orcs.
The path by which the green-skinned infection spread to another planet is difficult to trace. During an interstellar voyage, a certain cargo carried green-skinned spores invisible to the naked eye and boarded the interstellar spacecraft. If it falls to the ground when unloading, or is blown somewhere by the wind, it will begin to take root and sprout when it encounters a suitable environment, and the first Skogomon will grow. This aggressive and ferocious little beast secretes and divides many spores when hunting, fighting, injured, excreting, and dying, and begins to give birth to more squig beasts, grunts, and even Orc Boy.
Generally speaking, when the green-skin ecology of wild orcs on the planet has not yet fully developed, the green-skin is in a primitive tribal state. There is no technology at all, and no organizational structure. They are just a group of wild beasts with relatively high intelligence.
They will fight each other and fight among themselves. After all, fighting is the nature of the green-skinned orcs. As for whether the target of the battle is a fellow race or a foreign race, they actually don't care much.
In the midst of the fighting, they will select a green-skinned boss as the leader of the tribe. The greenskins who make up the tribe will start to fight with everything around them under the leadership of the boss. If they cannot find it, they will divide themselves and then fight with themselves.
In this process, their number will gradually spiral upward, and a large number of greenskins will die from internal friction. However, although the number fluctuates, it is still rising overall. At the same time, as more battles occur and the number of greenskins increases, their so-called aaagh force field becomes thicker.
This kind of supernatural power, which is inextricably related to spiritual energy but not spiritual energy, is similar to some kind of spiritual technology. It will make their tribe stronger and stronger, and the technology will be inexplicable. With their progress, all kinds of weapons and equipment that I can think of that only greenskins can use will allow them to be in a certain situation.A day trip to the stars.
Of course, if there is no external force, this process will be very long.
But if there are external forces, for example, they eat enough brains of foreigners, for example, they see enough human or other intelligent race’s war technology, then the orc technical boys, goblin technicians, etc. who get the inspiration will A series of technical greenskins who are skilled in technology will quickly speed up this process.
Based on this standard, in the ruins of the high tower, the orc tribe, whose size is only measured in ten thousand people, should not have such things as murder cans and big iron cans of fear. They have guns and thermal weapons, and it can only be said that they are developing fast enough.
Similarly, in the past reports related to Garbage Town, there was never any mention of large-scale greenskins waging war against each other.
This is not consistent with the situation of wild green skins.
But it is even more different from the space green skin.
If there really is a green-skinned clan that can cross the star sea and set its sights on the Raging Owl Star, then just go to sleep, there is no way they can resist it.
The green-skinned orcs who appeared in the ruins of the Angry Owl Star Tower are indeed a very exceptional case.
But it may also be that humans have not done enough research on the ecology of the green-skinned orcs, and Gu Hang’s recent craziness of supplementing knowledge is difficult to mention.
Because of this, he is worried about the current situation of the special operations team.
This green-skinned orc clan is so special, who knows if something will happen that even the Space Marines can’t figure out
The Emperor’s Angel of Death , in many cases, he lives up to his name as a demigod; but in the universe, among the many monsters, ghosts, and snake gods fighting against each other, sometimes they die piece by piece.
Green-skinned people are just one of those many monsters and monsters.
You can’t say that Gu Hang is a cunning person, but the special operations team is indeed in big trouble now.
The time went back to eleven o'clock at noon. When the orbital strike fell, they were indeed not harmed.
They waited patiently for a while. After the residual heat of the bombing dissipated and the radio communication was restored, they reported to the Governor that they were safe. Then they followed the Governor's instructions and headed for the orbital bombing site. .
The main attack location that needs to be explored is actually the assembly area and base camp of the green-skinned orcs.
The base camp they went to first.
Here, the scene is almost the same as the situation at the starting point. It is also a huge crater and all the surrounding buildings have been razed to the ground. The difference is that among the destruction here, there are a lot more grunts and craftsmen, and there are a lot more remains of green-skinned buildings.
Nothing more than that.
They wandered around the area where they were hit for a while, assessing the effects of the attack and checking to see if there were any survivors nearby.
The Greenskin Military Factory is confirmed to be destroyed;
The Greenskin Camp is confirmed to be destroyed;
Three green-skin incubation farms are confirmed to have been destroyed;
And it has to be said that green-skin things are really terrifyingly tenacious. Even a destructive bombing strike of this level is more powerful than a nuclear bomb falling, but it can be far away from the center of the explosion, especially when the attack comes, and the green skin who happens to be in a certain solid bunker, It's really nothing.
Fortunately, the number is not large and the distribution is scattered.
Without being discovered, they did not waste time cleaning up. Of course, if it's particularly smooth, I'll kill it.
Based on the characteristics of green-skinned orcs, as long as their boss is killed in the bombing and there is no leader among the remaining green-skinned orcs, they will become intelligent. of beast of this nature. They act completely on instinct and fight against each other until a boss emerges among them.
This is when they are at their weakest. As long as humans seize this opportunity, they can be completely exterminated.
Then, if we carefully clean up every inch of the land that the orcs have experienced, the orc crisis will probably be resolved.
Of course, with their tenacious characteristics and the way their spore forms develop, the orcs can never let down their guard against the crisis. For a long period of time in the future, this planet must always monitor and explore places where green skin disasters have occurred, and regularly kill suspicious plants.
But as long as you don’t relax your vigilance and follow the relevant regulations of the empire, problems will generally be minor. Most of them can be stifled at the nascent stage, preventing another major crisis from erupting.
But just when their mentality gradually relaxed, a roar came from somewhere in the distance.
They were startled, but quickly realized that it was not their whereabouts that had been discovered.
It was more like a green-skinned orc, howling and using sound to gather his subordinates.
Communication basically relies on yelling, which is a bit funny, but no one can laugh now.
The emergence of this situation means that there is still an orc leader with charisma in this place, and it is not a small charisma.
And it is unlikely that it was just decided in a fight. On the one hand, it is not that fast, and on the other hand, the new boss who has just been killed is unlikely to have such a temperament.
The answer is obvious. Under the previous tyrannical orbital bombardment, a powerful leader among the green-skinned orcs did not die.
I don’t know whether it was luck, not being in the core area of the bombing, or some other reason, but this is obviously not good news.
They decided to check the situation.
If a large number of green-skinned orcs have gathered under his call, forget it, just pass the news to the Governor and then assign people to monitor them.
But if the number of green skins gatheredIf the amount is not enough, Martins and the other five Space Marines plan to kill the green-skinned boss.
The beheading tactic is one of the most useful tactics for green-skinned orcs.
A huge aaagh, even an expedition across the star sea, requires a powerful orc warlord to organize and launch it. Only a strong enough leader can unite the greenskins.
But similarly, as long as the boss dies, the remaining greenskins will immediately become a mess. Usually, more than half of them will be killed first in internal fighting.
They have no intention of annihilating their race and fending off foreign enemies first.
And even in a specific battle, the death of a team leader will greatly shake the entire greenskin team; the death of the commander of a battle will make the entire battle shaken. The collapsed situation is over
When dealing with greenskins, the best way is to find the biggest, greenest, and strongest one at the moment and kill it.
So on the battlefield, who is best suited to do this kind of thing
Of course it is the Space Marines.
In the past wars of the Phoenix, as long as they fought against the greenskins, they would inevitably have to perform similar tasks five, six, seven or eight times in a battle.
For now, it’s just a matter of returning to the old business.
Even the Space Marines still miss this a little bit.
However, when they quietly arrived and saw the greenskins gathered there, they gave up the idea of a raid.
The number was greater than they expected.
There are more than a thousand orc boys there. It's not just light infantry, there are also combat trucks and murder tanks. Roughly counting, there are no less than fifty units of various types of heavy equipment.
Furthermore, sporadic green skins continue to gather here.
Martins was shocked by this amount.
Why are there so many?
While discussing, they came up with a guess that could explain it
It is estimated that this orc leader was originally leading Following the troops he had gathered, he was heading to the assembly area. Halfway through, the orbital bombardment came.
The most important targets of the bombing were the base camp and the assembly area. Those two places suffered the most violent and unavoidable blows; but they were lucky to be on the road, in the middle of the two places. A bullet dodged.
There must still be many dead greenskins. What Martins and the others saw alone were many orcs with injuries. After all, this wave of orbital bombardment not only has two large macro cannons, but also twenty small macro cannons and hundreds of orbital missiles. They are scattered everywhere. Those things are very powerful and fierce.
But overall, thousands of greenskins survived.
The beheading tactic is difficult to implement.
Not only are there many enemies, but the green-skinned orc leader is also worthy of attention
It's so big and green.
