Chapter 418, Join the Alliance and Think About It?
Relying only on orbital bombardment and the counterattack of the Planetary Defense Force, the situation on the Hippogriff III has been greatly eased.
The vanguard fleet of the Alliance Navy left behind a destroyer and several armed merchant ships to continue to help in the orbit of the Hippogriff III, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up large forces, while the rest continued to explore and entered the Hippogriff VI, and then entered the capital of the star sector - Hippogriff II.
Wherever the Alliance Navy went, the Greenskin Fleet retreated!
No, no.
The vanguard fleet of the Union Navy had dozens of ships, cruisers and several destroyers. This quantity, this quality, is placed here, and those branches of the greenskins plundering the fleet, of course, can't fight it.
In fact, in Hippogriff II, there was also a green-skinned raider fleet that was bitten and lost four ships before running away.
It can be said that when the alliance's army entered the Hippogriff Star Zone, the space that was originally chaotic and almost allowed those green-skinned raiding fleets to do whatever they wanted was cleared up in an instant.
Humanity has recaptured space and recaptured orbit, and the battle on the ground has become much easier.
At this time, the main force of the alliance army also entered the Hippogriff III.
They only stayed here for a short time, and Gu Hang met with the planetary governor of Hippogriff III.
The other party had already signed the Seven Horse Agreement more than half a month ago, and the alliance came from fulfilling the contract.
The governor of Hippogriff III, holding the paper document of the Seven Horses Entente, took a photo with Gu Hang.
Gu Hang left with the main force of the alliance satisfied.
Before leaving, he threw eight divisions on the Hippogriff III.
One skeleton division, six infantry divisions, and one armored brigade, adding up to about 330,000 people, all of them were troops of the Union Army sequence.
With them, the problem of Hippogriff III should be solved.
And that's exactly what happened.
The participation of the Alliance Army in the war immediately turned the ground situation of the Hippogriff III, which had been improved by orbital bombardment, into a complete advantage.
Hippogriff III is a world of agriculture + minerals with a population of about 800 million, and the number of troops that Greenskin has invested in this world is about one million.
The quality of the Hawkser III's planetary defense force was originally average, and the scale was only a few million people, and half of them were taken away by Yuan Chengchuan and sent to the Steel Wing Star, and they resisted very hard in the face of a million-scale invasion of greenskins.
It is not good to think that all the people are soldiers, and they are not well armed.
You can't let civilians fight Greenskins with pitchforks and pickaxes, right? It was pure slaughter.
In fact, the greenskin has a vague meaning of taking root on the planet. On the planet's tropical continent, after defeating a unit of the defense army, they established an ecosphere and grew mushrooms everywhere.
If you can't get rid of them for a few years, you don't need to increase troops from the Star Sea, and their own size can be doubled and increased.
However, all of this was destroyed and disintegrated after the arrival of the Alliance army.
The first wave of orbital bombardment took care of the main forces of the orcs, and the second wave took care of their biosphere.
Then, after the Alliance Army landed, according to the agreement of the Seven Horse Entente, the Colonel of the Alliance Army, who commanded these eight divisions, became the supreme commander of the planetary battlefield, and the almost two million planetary defense forces of Hippogriff III were also assigned to them.
At first, the Planetary Defense Force was a little unwilling.
Soldiers, there is always some pride, even the planetary defense forces. No matter how they were, they had been fighting with the greenskins in the past month, and they had suffered heavy losses. Although I didn't fight, I also paid for it. We're happy that the Alliance is coming to our aid, but where is the argument that all the power will be handed over to you all at once?
If you want to be an astral army, forget it, everyone is a defense army, you can be awesome if you have a little money?
It's just that the governor of Hippogriff III is quite geneatic, and under his orders, the defense forces are quite obedient.
And, after the war began, the generals and officers of the defense army, even the little unhappiness in their hearts, quickly disappeared.
No matter how unhappy you are, can you stand up to others and fight?
The Alliance Army, which has been given the power of commander-in-chief, does not have the meaning of using local troops as cannon fodder as the local army fears. Although they are still required to fill the battle line with the millions of people who participated in the war, they are just responsible for the task of filling the line. The real battle of the fortification, the coalition army itself rolled up its sleeves and went on.
The well-equipped skeleton division, using the armored units under its command as arrows, found a place and plunged into the rainforest of Hippogriff III.
The lion king led the male lions to mercilessly knock down and crush the jungle trees. Elite tanks equipped with anti-gravity engines, do not care at all about road conditions. Strong power and strong passability of the track that are the basic configuration, on the mud road, when necessary to start the anti-gravity equipment, the weight of the body is greatly reduced, and even can be a few centimeters off the ground in a short time, that is really any bad road can go.
Greenskin's strongholds were uprooted one by one, and the Alliance soldiers who followed behind quickly eliminated all threats. The local defense forces behind them will transport supplies, burn mushrooms with flamethrowers, burn the battlefield, and help cut down trees to open the way by the way.
It is precisely because of these 'chores' that accompany the alliance army that they see with their own eyes how the alliance fights.
Those green-skinned orcs who were quite difficult in their eyes, under the impact of the steel torrent of the Alliance, even if they used the rainforest as a cover, were swept away.
For Greenskins to fight the Allied army, they must first suffer a round of heavy shelling from the self-propelled artillery regiments that always accompany the main army, followed by the merciless crushing of the armored forces.
Even if they really managed to touch the vicinity of the Union tanks, the infantry of the Alliance were not vegetarians.
They are generally excellent in shooting, highly tactical, and have high morale and are not at all afraid to confront the Greenskins. The heavy machine guns in the squad, the heavy explosive guns in the company, the infantry guns, and the rocket artillery, as infantry firepower, will also make those greenskins suffer a lot.
The two sides are very close, and they are often able to seize the opportunity, and a dozen guns will concentrate fire to eliminate one green-skinned orc after another, without dispersing the firepower, and the coordination is quite perfect.
Even if it really happens and just in case, to the point of sticking to the face, the soldiers of the alliance will not be afraid to use bayonets, and several people will encircle and suppress the green-skinned orcs who rushed up in a group.
Although the rough-skinned and powerful orcs can inflict a lot of casualties on Alliance soldiers by relying on their tenacious vitality and powerful click guns when they fight at close range, the Home Defense Force has never seen the Alliance soldiers scared.
Even if you really want to retreat, it is an order from your superiors to carry out a strategic task, not to be easily defeated.
If the gap in equipment is still the gap that the defense forces of Hawkhorse III are not angry about, then in terms of combat skills, tactical ability, and will to fight, there is really nothing to talk about in this all-round gap.
The Hippogriff III, who quickly subdued, became more obedient. They actively cooperated with the actions of the alliance army, and gradually got rid of the haze of the past month, feeling that everything was going to be finished and could not be won.
They began to believe that with the help of the coalition forces, victory would eventually be their own.
The morale of the Planetary Defense Force has risen, which will also help the Alliance Army.
After all, the Alliance Army fell on the Hippogriff III, with only more than 300,000 people, but it was a million green skins to face, and it was impossible to gnaw it down purely on its own.
Greenskins love garbage, but they're not real garbage.
The two million army of Hippogriff III is still a force to be put to good use.
As the two sides work more closely, the territory of the Iron Tooth Orcs on the tropical continent of Hippogriff III becomes more and more tight.
Orcs are not masters who want to sit idly by.
They also launched a ferocious and cunning counterattack.
A defensive force under the command of the Alliance army is encircling a group of orcs who have lost all their heavy firepower and armor with eight times the superior force.
This should have been a relatively simple task. Although they fought face to face, the defenders could be overwhelmed by the orc forces if they had even a fourfold advantage. But if the Greenskins had lost their heavy artillery, killing canisters, war trucks, and giant Ancients, and were only armed with rifles and machetes, they would still not be able to stand up to the Wehrmacht with heavy artillery support.
Although there will still be some casualties to exterminate them, it will always be a ninety percent win-win battle.
If you really want to encounter that accident, there is an infantry regiment of the Alliance Army not far away, and it will soon be able to support.
However, the accident did happen.
An army of greenskins came from outside and surrounded them.
They can only call for help.
The Union infantry regiment immediately rushed to support, however, the enemy was far more numerous than initially estimated, and they were also besieged.
Continuing to ask for help, a coalition army division and a defense force of about 100,000 men came.
Then, too, they were surrounded.
At this time, the human side discovered that not only were there many enemies, but also that they also had advanced units such as Kill Tanks, Death Tanks, and Heavy Orcs.
With the combat strength and number of this greenskinned force, they would have been able to annihilate the human forces in the encirclement a long time ago, and they would not even have a chance to call for help.
The reason why they didn't do this, of course, was deliberate, that is, fishing, or surrounding up the point to send reinforcements.
In this wave, 40,000 alliance troops and 100,000 defense troops were hoisted, which was enough, and the iron-toothed boss who personally led the team planned to close the net with satisfaction.
He even took out a long-hidden cluster of Scrogo Behemoths.
The Scrooge Behemoth is an excellent weapon of war. They resemble giant unicorns, the smallest of which is the size of a Lion King Tank.
On their massive bodies, a layer of heavy scales is attached. Their skin is also extremely tough, and their bones are like steel.
The green-skinned artisan boys will also wear a lot of armor on their bodies.
While well protected, its brute strength, fangs, and big feet are capable of breaking through strong fortifications. They often carry a cannon on their backs and a number of fighting pods on their sides, where the Greenskins shoot or throw explosives.
As a result, the Scroog Behemoth can be used as a battle tank, personnel carrier, and siege weapon at the same time.
However, despite the large investment of money, the greenskins were embarrassed when it came time to close the net.
This division of the Alliance Army, even if it is besieged, is still unexpectedly difficult to bite.
Heavy artillery was the core of the infantry division, and the greenskins suffered a lot. A significant number of high-level units were destroyed by heavy artillery during the battle.
The terrifying Scrooge beast couldn't withstand too many heavy artillery bombardments.
The Greenskins have come up with many ways to deal with the trapped Union Army's heavy artillery. The air attack of the orc flying squadron, the airborne infiltration of the special operations boy, the heavy artillery bombardment, and the armored behemoth rush......
Of course, it is effective, but it has not been completely eliminated, and second, it has suffered a lot of losses.
The infantry divisions of the alliance also pay considerable attention to air defense, and the air defense vehicles are equipped with special anti-aircraft servo skull locking effects very strongly, and they also carry anti-aircraft missiles; Individual anti-aircraft missiles are also available; The flight squadron of the Alliance Army will not sit idly by and watch their comrades being besieged, and the Wind Falcon and Kirin take off one after another, fighting with the green-skinned air force.
The greenskinned air units suffered considerable losses, while the infiltrated special operations units were violently blocked by the artillery arrays of the Union Army guards and were annihilated in wave after wave.
The armored behemoth assault was effective, and the dispatch of the Scrooge behemoth could often defeat a position, but the retreating humans, even if they suffered heavy losses, were extremely tenacious and quickly rebuilt a new position in the back. The beast had to bite off piece by piece, and had to bear the risk of being set on fire by heavy fire.
And heavy artillery bombardment is also useful, and the number of artillery pieces assembled by Greenskin at this moment is quite a lot.
However, it is a problem that has been bombarded for a long time and is destined not to be solved immediately.
The iron-toothed boss was embarrassed to find that if they wanted to completely gnaw at this group of besieged human troops, the greenskins themselves would have to lose twenty or thirty thousand manpower, and the loss of various high-level units would not be small, and it would take at least six or seven days.
If you want to reduce your losses, you can also adopt siege tactics, and if you trap the opponent with all your ammunition and food, then you don't need to suffer too many casualties among the green-skinned boys. But it will take at least two or three months.
Before he could decide what to do, the human reaction came first.
That skeleton division in the Union Army, with an armored brigade, was directly in place. Even with 200,000 defense troops, all of them were assembled.
This annihilation battle, which was originally just a battle of annihilation by green-skinned orcs fishing and encirclement points, quickly evolved into a main battle.
The green-skinned boss is also fierce, and since it has reached this point, he is also constantly mobilizing reinforcements.
During the fierce fighting that lasted for a month, the two sides continued to mobilize troops and add fuel to the fire, and the war became more and more intense.
In the end, the total number of troops on both sides in this battle reached more than one million.
In the end, the human side won.
When one after another Scrooge armored behemoths died under the heavy artillery of humans and under the hedge with the lion king; When one green-skinned armored unit after another is wiped out by all kinds of anti-armor fire; When the greenskins are knocked down by various weapons......
The green-skinned boss was also knocked down by a plasma gun in a charge he personally led, and then the hot melt bomb destroyed him.
The orc army collapsed.
Nearly 300,000 greenskins were wiped out in the battle.
Although the Planetary Defense Force lost more than 300,000 people, the Alliance Army also paid more than 70,000 sacrifices for it, and various armored units and artillery units also suffered heavy losses.
However, the victory of this main battle also laid the foundation for the victory of the entire ground battle of Hippogriff III.
The green-skinned army, which had lost its commander, became scattered. What's more, their elite strength has almost been lost, leaving the remaining five or six hundred thousand greenskins still alive, seriously lacking high-level units, and the overall combat effectiveness has become extremely low.
At the moment, they were no longer able to pose any threat to Hippogriff III. In addition to the theater part, Hippogriff III is already working to restore production and restore social order.
And in the war zone, at most half a year, these green skins will also be completely encircled and wiped out.
The governor of Hippogriff III was very happy.
He personally went to the front line and visited the Union Army, and by the way, his own defense army.
The Governor was so impressed with the colonel's officer of the Skeleton Division that he even prepared medals and ranks. How can the rank of colonel show its contribution? At least the whole rank of general!
But the colonel of the Union refused, and left a phrase:
"Perhaps, it won't be long before all military ranks will be unified."
Hearing this, the governor of Hippogriff III didn't know whether to be happy or not.
……
The battle of Hippogriff III is a microcosm of the situation in the entire star sector.
When the Alliance's military strikers entered the Hippogriff Star Zone, similar situations were staged in many worlds here.
The pattern is almost the same, as soon as the alliance fleet enters the corresponding star system, drives away or destroys the greenskinned ships, and then supports the orbit of the corresponding planet, and then looks at the situation of the planet, and puts down some troops.
Hippogriff III is small, and the greenskin threat is not big to be honest, just a million orcs, and it will be solved by putting eight divisions.
The bigger problem is in Hippogriff II, this galaxy has three human worlds, of which the main star has a population of 4 billion, which is also the most populous world in the Hippogriff Star Zone.
The entire Hippogriff Star Region, the 12 worlds combined, is only about 15 billion people. The second and third stars of Hippogriff II are only tens of millions of people, and they are pure mineral planets.
The main star of Hippogriff II was attacked by the Greenskins, tens of millions of Greenskins descended on this world, and the defense forces on the main star of Hippogriff II were violently beaten, and in a month's time, many key cities were conquered, and the defense forces were defeated and retreated.
And the Union Army threw a whole army group here.
More than 20 million Alliance Army soldiers undoubtedly withstood the attack of the Greenskinned Orcs, and united with almost the same number of defense forces to begin to subdue the lost territory and destroy the Greenskin ecosystem.
The situation in the Hippogriff Star Zone can be regarded as quickly stabilized after the alliance army entered.
This incident is actually quite shocking.
The group photo of Gu Hang and the planetary governors, and the battle examples of the alliance army in the Hippogriff Star Region, were all sent to many surrounding star regions along with the Star Language message.
This has made the work of the alliance diplomats much smoother.
There are some star sectors that have not been beaten, and they may still be thinking about it and waiting and seeing. However, another star region that was also invaded, the Fog Horse Star Zone, quickly changed its attitude.
They were willing to accept the Seven Horse Entente, hoping that the Alliance's troops would be able to move over quickly.
There are thirteen worlds of foggy horses, one more than the eagle horse, but the total population size is smaller, at 13.4 billion, basically the agricultural world, the mining world, and the barren world. Even the capital planet Fog Horse I is just an ordinary civilized world, with only three billion people.
The invasion of the Fog Horse Star Region is not as fierce as that of the Hippogriff Star Zone. Even, a considerable number of invading green-skinned orcs still jumped from the Steel-Winged Star to the Fog Horse Star Zone that Cuiquan II entered. The conflict star area dealt with by the Fog Horse Star Zone, that is, the direction of the Tongguan Star Zone, is not the direction of the orcs' main attack.
However, the Fog Horse Star Region does not have a barrier like the Steel Wing Star to give them the main force to resist and attract orcs.
The entire star sector has been driven straight into by the green-skinned orcs, and most of them have been caught in the flames of war.
In the star zone, there is no naval force, and the army part only has the local planetary defense force, and the strength is limited.
More importantly, the lack of space delivery capabilities means that each planet is an island, and the armies cannot support each other. Some planets have not been seriously invaded, and they can still control the situation without collapsing. Obviously, there is spare power to support other planets that are in serious condition, but they are unable to do so due to the limitations of the delivery problem.
After seeing that the alliance easily solved the threat of the Hippogriff Star Zone, which was even more serious than itself, those governors of the Fog Horse couldn't help it.
Their star sector leader hadn't nodded yet, and was still tugging with the Alliance's diplomats, but many planetary governors in the Fog Horse Star Zone couldn't help it, and they took the first step and privately contacted the Alliance, expressing their willingness to sign.
The idea of these people is also very simple, as the governor of the planet, let's save their lives first.
Moreover, as long as you sign it, what does the special star government do? According to the Seven Horse Entente, not only the military protection and trade alliance, but also the imperial tax will be collected by the alliance at that time.
After signing, the star government is a fart.
For these planets, the alliance took them all with a stroke of the pen.
However, the diplomats of the alliance have also made it clear to the governors of these foggy horses, they have signed now, and the due military protection will definitely arrive, and the alliance will never break its word.
It's just that the most important thing in the entire battle situation at the moment is the Battle of Steel Wing.
The main force of the alliance will solve the problems there first.
Governors, you still have to think of some ways to hold on to your own planet for a while.
Not too long, a month or two at most.
"The Seven Horses Pact is an agreement of mutual assistance, not an agreement to lie on the pact and wait for the alliance to solve all problems. However, if Mr. Governor really wants to do that, I have an agreement here to formally join the Alliance, and you can consider it. ”
