After receiving the news, Gu Hang couldn't even eat well.

10,000 greenskins, including more than 3,000 serious orcs, and the number is still increasing.

There is already a difference in the combat capability of individual soldiers, and the biggest gap is in the ability to resist strikes. Now, the other side has all kinds of rough and ridiculous heavy firepower and heavy equipment that must not be ignored......

This is already a very big threat.

Good guy, Gu Hang still plans to wait until two days later to call for orbital bombardment, and then launch a full-scale counteroffensive, but now those green skins are going to attack with all their strength first?

Fortunately, this information was discovered in advance, and if it was really unprepared for such an impact, it would be a big problem.

Gu Hang is considering a solution.

First of all, the mobilization of troops must be accelerated.

The troops who are still resting in the combined barracks are about to be urgently assembled.

At present, the number of soldiers on the front line has actually been reduced to about 50,000. There are also about 50,000 people, who are resting and reorganizing in the rear.

Although the front line is less than half of the manpower, it is actually much more stable than when the adventurers in Junk Town were stationed in the past, and the soldiers who have more reliable equipment and have greatly improved their military skills can fight a lot more than the adventurers.

However, isn't it necessary to prepare for the shock, or even a full-scale counteroffensive?

The follow-up troops, of course, have to go to the premise, as a reserve, ready to put out fires at any time.

Of course, if you don't use it, it's definitely the best.

Wasn't the orbital strike firepower that Yelicia asked for earlier to solve a similar problem?

If those green skins were scattered one by one, hiding in the ruins of the city, it would be really difficult to fight. The power of the orbital strike is fierce, but the city is already in ruins, and it can still be blown into powder? Those green skins hidden in the ruins bunkers are strong in their own right, and if they are in the core area of the orbital strike artillery bombardment, they will definitely die, and they will be buried. But if it's a marginal area, I'm afraid it will really survive a lot.

And now, they have gathered and cleared an open area as a starting position, so doesn't this make it clear that he was beaten?

Gu Hang had a heart, and asked Yelicia to help fight a small-scale, but more targeted shelling first.

With a few 'hot hammer' cannon shots and 10 'scalpel' shipborne missiles, it may not be possible to blow up a round directly at the starting position, killing all the green skins gathered there, but it may not be a problem to kill ninety percent.

But after thinking about it, Gu Hang still suppressed this tempting thought.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I fry it now, and the benefits are not maximized.

All Yelicia can give him the opportunity to fight for is a round of bombing, and that must be grasped.

Be patient, be patient. What he needs to do now is to prepare his troops to meet all challenges and take the initiative, and then patiently wait for the intelligence from the front before making a decision.

……

Deep in the ruins of the tower, as she was on the way, Martins suddenly asked Schneider next to him a question:

"Something isn't quite right with these greenskins, do you feel it?"

Schneider thought for a moment and responded, "There's nothing wrong with them on their own, they're no different from the greenskins we've eliminated in the past." ”

"That's the big problem." "They shouldn't be so powerful. There aren't enough of them, tens of thousands of greenskins, not enough to sustain a catastrophe. If the greenskin spores fell on this planet for some reason and took root, and then the clan developed from scratch, at this stage, at this time, at this time, they should only be able to maintain a very primitive technological state. Even if the original natives of Garbage Town gave those greenskins some brains during the battle to speed up their development, it shouldn't have appeared so soon that greenskin technology of this level appeared. ”

"You want to say that these greenskins are not simply developed from the mainland?" Schneider's attitude has also become cautious.

If that's the case, and these greenskins come from a powerful, interstellar clan, then it's a big problem.

But soon, Schneider rejected the idea again: "Unlikely, there has never been a report of an attack by an alien force on the planet. If the Greenskin Clan, which really has the ability to travel interstellarly, has their eyes on this planet, with their characteristics, they will not only send a very small number of teams over. A few large warships, carrying hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of greenskins, and quickly multiply and submerge planets after landing, which is their usual method. ”

For Schneider's words, Martins also agreed: "So, this is the most contradictory part of the whole thing, we must remind our brothers, this operation can not be regarded as these green skins simply as the kind of savage orcs, primitive orcs, to be vigilant, in the battle of the power plant outside the revival of the city, I really don't want to see it again." ”

Hearing the battle leader say this, the other four were also silent.

They don't say much anymore.

It is not difficult to follow the routes of those green skins to transport supplies and replenish troops, and find the enemy's base camp.

On the evening of the second day of departure, they had already found their target.

Of course, those greenskins are also preparing for war with all their might. Their home base camp is brightly lit and their factories are bustling.

Space marines and Storm Squad soldiers don't have the ability to infiltrate the base camp. After all, there are no conditions for makeup investigation, and cross-racial investigation can only be done to this extent at most.

But that's enough.

They marked Greenskin's base camp, Greenskin's military factory, and then found three large-scale hatchery farms in the surrounding area. Those huge, tropical plants have grown strong in the ruins of the city.

As Martins had said to Gu Hang before, this was definitely not an ideal place for greenskinned orcs to thrive. Even though these greenskins have tried their best to carve out a relatively flat area, try to expose the soil as much as possible, and try to connect to the water flow, but the soil is not suitable, the light is not good, and the water resources are not enough......

The green skin is tenacious enough, and it can grow stubble after stubble in this environment.

Now is the season for the green-skinned plants to 'harvest'. They saw with their own eyes, under the light, that they saw that there was a huge fruit pod on the twisted plant, hanging downward, as if something was wriggling inside, and then suddenly, the fruit pod opened directly, and a green-skinned creature fell out of it.

This process is constantly happening in front of them.

Most of the time, what comes out is a beast of different sizes, but similar in shape.

The name of this thing is Sgurgo, and it is an orc livestock that has always existed in the Greenskin Tribe. These creatures are unintelligent and ferocious, with fangs and mouths that can be opened to the point of exaggeration. But in reality, they are in the green-skinned ecosystem, the role of livestock.

Some are used for beauty salons, some are used for food, some are kept as pets by orc boys, and the largest can even be ridden into battle.

These Scroogo feed on all kinds of garbage.

The Scroogo eat what the orcs don't eat, while the orcs eat the Scroogo.

Together with fungi, they became the main source of food for the orcs.

And after Scrogomon, the second most are the fart spirits.

This is a servant of the orcs, cannon fodder, and can also be eaten if necessary.

And even fewer are the green-skinned orcs.

Whether it's Scroogo, Fart, or Orcs, as soon as they land, they are adults.

In this hatchery farm, it is really during the harvest season.

If the three hatchery farms we saw were all hatched at such an efficient rate, I am afraid that within a month, the number of green-skinned orcs alone would have to increase by another 20,000, and there would be at least 50,000 or 60,000 more fart spirits.

Martins is now very glad that he has seriously warned Gu Hang of the risks. is also glad that Gu Hang heeded his warning and did not ignore the threat.

Otherwise, it's a big problem.

And the next thing is relatively simple.

It's nothing more than marking the coordinates.

They can't be very precise, because when they mark it, they are actually a certain distance away from the target location. Even at this distance, they had encountered the greenskins several times, but they had slaughtered them silently.

With the discipline of the green skins, they should not be able to notice if they throw a few people - they have to die a lot of internal fights and fun every day.

But even if the marking is not very accurate, it doesn't matter much. That's probably the location. The macro artillery bombarded it, but the area covered was still very large.

A single Scalpel missile can almost destroy a small wind farm, not to mention the much more powerful cannon and a large cannon like the Wrath of the Loyal Heir.

Of course, in order to improve efficiency, they still set value levels for each of these places.

The two most valuable points, one is the base camp and the other is the starting position where the Greenskins are converging.

The second is to mark the Arsenal, the hatchery farm, and the killing tank in the Greenskin Army. Then, a bunch of places that could not be explored in depth, but were suspected to be valuable, were marked.

After completing these tasks, they moved away from Greenskin's base camp and then informed Governor Gu of the news.

Then they soon received a reply from the Governor:

"Get out of the area as soon as possible, you have 14 hours of coverage for an off-orbit strike. Please ensure your own safety and check the effect of the strike after the orbital strike is over. ”

"Roger."

"You've worked hard."

……

After replying to the task force's message, Captain Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

All preparations are finally complete.

He contacted Elicia again, provided the coordinates of the strike, and told the brigadier general that everything was going according to plan.

Tomorrow, at 11:00 Terra Standard Time, Orbital Strike will arrive as scheduled.

His troops, before that, will complete the pre-battle preparation, eat well in advance, and then after the orbital bombardment, launch an attack on the frontal enemy.

The green-skinned orc front that confronts them will not be bombarded too strongly, and at most there will be only a few 'scalpel' missiles, which will accurately hit several key positions, and the macro cannon will not be smashed here.

The main reason is that the power of the macro cannon is too large, the coverage is large, and the accuracy is inferior to that of the 'scalpel' missile. If you tilt it a little, it will be easy to cover your own position.

It's better to blow up a few times with a 'scalpel' and leave the rest to your own army.

……

On the front line, the commander of the 3rd Independent Regiment, which was trying to regain its title of 'Beast Slaughtering Regiment', Ruggie Likohi, had just finished an operational meeting and sent off Tadius, the chief of political work of the whole army, who had come to inspect it.

Lieutenant Colonel Tadius conveyed to them the Governor's order, and at a meeting of all the regimental commanders and instructors above the company level, it was announced that the 3rd Independent Regiment would be the fist and the vanguard in the general counteroffensive at noon to-morrow.

Their goal was to tear through the green-skinned defense from the middle of the entire defensive line, completely capture their position, cut the battle line into two sections, and create space for the mechanized three synthetic battalions to penetrate from the middle section.

Subsequently, after the follow-up friendly forces came up to take over the position, they would allocate troops, accompanied by a synthetic battalion, to carry out a roundaround 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 front of them, completely annihilating the green-skinned orcs there.

All the commanders and fighters listened in silence to the battle goals and requirements narrated by Tadius.

The silence continues.

But this is by no means fear, fear.

Li Kexi could see a fire in the eyes of his subordinates.

And he himself is like that.

They waited too long.

"Alright, let's all go back." Li Koxi broke the silence and said, "Go back to your respective companies and get ready." There are 13 hours left until tomorrow noon. The General Staff will break down tomorrow's offensive mission, and it will be delivered to you by tomorrow morning at the latest. It's a battle we've been waiting for, and it's an opportunity we couldn't have imagined before. I have only one request: to play beautifully! We must be worthy of the people we have lost, worthy of the hatred we have to repay for sacrificing our lives, and worthy of the opportunity given to us by the Governor! ”

"Roar!" The officers roared to their feet, then returned to their ranks.

Andrei Alexei, who served as a commissar who was transferred to the Independence Regiment, was a little confused. He just wanted to boost the morale of the officers as the chief of political work, but it turned out that there seemed to be no need for this at all.

The head of the regiment, Li Kexi, patted him on the shoulder and did not explain much.

The warriors of the Beast Slayer don't know how many of them will actually be able to sleep well.

But they're going to force themselves to rest, all so they can play tomorrow.

Tonight, extraordinarily long.

……

No matter how long the night is, there is always a time to spend it.

The sky was bright, and Li Kexi, who woke up, went to the front line of the army to check.

He watched the soldiers eat, watched them inspect their guns, watched the officers talk to the soldiers......

All this made his anxious heart inexplicably settle down.

They have done everything they can and are just waiting for the order to strike.

The pocket watches that were distributed came to eleven o'clock at noon.

The order to attack had not yet been given, but he first saw a number of red points of light, looming in the sky.

Meteor shower?

No, he quickly overturned the idea.

This should be part of what Lieutenant Colonel Tadius said earlier, a powerful blow.

At the time, he thought it was an artillery position in the rear, and there would be unlimited ferocious fire, but it seemed that there was more to it than that.

He watched as the red meteor shower streaked across the sky, then closer and closer, and then fell into the endless ruins in front of him.

Immediately after, two huge balls of light that almost enveloped the city suddenly appeared.

Along with these two huge balls of light, there are many, many smaller ones, but due to the obscuration of the ruins of the building, they are not so real.

This scene feels inexplicably strange, only light, no sound, as if watching a silent movie.

But what they were waiting for, came very quickly.

The earth is shaking.

As if there was an earthquake, some soldiers who did not stand firm even staggered. Even some of the ruins that had been beaten hard enough by artillery fire in previous battles collapsed in this tremor.

Fortunately, the fortifications where they were hiding were particularly fortified, but there were no casualties as a result.

And then there was the shock wave that came with a loud bang!

It was as if a strong wind was blowing, and there was a feeling of dryness and heat, and many people took several steps back because of this, feeling stuffy in their chests.

Although the body felt very uncomfortable, from Li Koshi down, all the soldiers of the 3rd Independent Regiment were happy in their hearts!

The place where the explosion took place, in the depths of the ruins of the tower, is where the greenskins are most entrenched!

Dozens of kilometers away, the aftermath of the explosion can be felt so clearly, whether it is the scorching heat or the shock wave...... And what about those greenskins at the core of the explosion?

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 destroy the enemy in front of them, this greenskin catastrophe that has been spreading for several years and gradually becoming more and more serious will be brought to an end at their hands!

Li Koshi couldn't wait to command his troops to charge.

But it's not time yet.

The order to attack has still not come.

It's just that a whistling sound came from overhead.

The artillery positions in the rear began to wield.

On the combined artillery positions, one hundred 155 howitzers, lined up one after another, with barrels pointing to the sky, fired non-stop.

The production of artillery shells is limited, and Weixing City has a lot to produce in order to support the logistical supply of hundreds of thousands of troops. Armored vehicles, bullets, guns, equipment, explosives, grenades, rocket launchers, artillery......

They've been working hard to increase the production of shells, but they still can't stand up to the intense attrition.

However, since it has been decided that today is the end battle, there is no need to save.

Hundreds of guns, firing at full speed. At a rate of 500 shells per minute, it rained down on the orc positions in front of them.

This is an all-out shelling that has never been done before, and the artillerymen no longer care about the life of the barrel and the consumption of shells.

They were ready to smash 15,000 rounds of heavy artillery on the position of the greenskinned orcs in half an hour. At present, the total reserve of artillery shells is less than 20,000 rounds.

The remaining four or five thousand shells, again, were not in the province, but were to be left to cooperate with the infantry attack.

While the artillery was firing, Ruji Likohi finally got the order to attack.

He couldn't wait to convey the attack order to the whole regiment.

More than 5,000 soldiers of the 3rd Independent Regiment needed to move to a position about 200 meters away from the enemy's position within 25 minutes and stand by. They had five minutes to recuperate, and at the moment the shelling was over, they launched an all-out assault on the orc positions.
