Chapter 149, Murder Jar

After Schneider killed the largest and greenest orc leader, the battle was almost over.

His other four battle brothers, together with the twenty-eight soldiers of the 'Storm Squadron' who are considered to be strong in the eyes of Space Marines, plus the fire cover of the infantry regiment, will accompany the green-skinned leader.

The forty or fifty orcs who charged were all killed.

Needless to say, the abilities of the Space Marines. Except for the fact that he met a green-skinned boss who had been strengthened and was somewhat capable, and gave him a little exercise, his battle brothers basically didn't find any decent opponents.

When those ordinary green-skinned boys encounter the electromagnetic rifles in the hands of the special operations soldiers of the Storm Squadron, they can't stand up to the G9 rifles like they can. They will often die after being hit by a dozen bullets.

After making sure that all the greenskins were killed and no one survived to leak information about his group, he could finally rest assured.

They had no intention of taking action originally.

The 4th Infantry Regiment's initiative to attack was originally to cover their actions. If they can successfully eliminate all the greenskins in this area, that is of course the best. After all, as long as all the enemies are killed, that is

The perfect dive.

Even if the attack fails, it actually doesn't matter. After attracting enough attention, the 33-member task force can take advantage of the intense fighting on the front and bypass the battlefield without anyone noticing.

In fact, that was their original plan.

However, after observing the situation on the frontal battlefield, their leader changed his mind and decided to implement the first strategy: kill all the enemies.

Schneider knew that it was because their captain of the Martins Chapter was feeling sorry for watching the mortal soldiers die, or because he was trying to cover their mission.

Of course, he didn't object. After all, as long as they killed them all and no greenskins came back to report the news, it would be fine. There were only a few dozen left, so killing them all wouldn't be too much trouble.

The key is to have a hand addiction.

After the battle, Schneider took off his helmet, revealing his shiny forehead.

He felt a special gaze, so he turned his head and saw the red hat staring at him.

Normally, Schneider would always be disdainful and completely ignore these mortals. But at this time, he couldn't help but think of the red hat named Thaddeus, who had accomplished what his dead brother could not do.

.

As for the one in front of me, although he didn't achieve any great feats, he was still fearless in the face of danger and could still maintain the dignity of a warrior in the face of death.

He is respectable.

He nodded to the red hat inexplicably, then turned and left.

Ryder Mesheko also came to his senses.

Surprisingly survived.

Looking at the fight between the space warrior and the greenskin just now, there is no doubt that if it were him, he would have died eight hundred times.

It seems that there is still a big gap between a mortal like him and those ghosts and monsters.

But regardless of this, the battle should be won.

Slowly putting down the gun in his hand, he turned back and found their leader.

They still need to clean up the position and bring back the wounded and even the corpses of dead teammates. Even if the death is relatively tragic, at least the armbands and badges that symbolize the identity of the soldiers must be taken away.

After cleaning the battlefield, they will withdraw.

The position here cannot be defended for a long time. The fortifications built by the greenskins are already too stretched, let alone bombed. This position is also far away from the lines of other friendly forces, making it inconvenient to support them.

The combination of these problems makes it impossible for them to fight against the greenskins' counterattack in the future.

But giving up this position does not mean that their attack is worthless.

In addition to providing cover for the special operations team, they were also able to effectively kill the enemy this time.

In this battle, almost 500 greenskins died. Relatively speaking, the price paid by the human side was the casualties of more than 320 soldiers.

The damage ratio in this battle was even higher than that of their defensive battle.

Of course, there are also special reasons.

After all, the price on the human side is not only more than 300 lives, but also 600 rounds of heavy artillery shells.

If it hadn't been for the recent shipment of a batch of newly produced artillery shells from Wei Xing City, I would have been reluctant to shoot out so many in an hour.

Among the greenskins that were eliminated, at least more than half were killed in the previous bombardment. And of the remaining two hundred or so, more than fifty were killed by the special operations team. The real

The result of the battle belonging to the 4th Infantry Regiment was only over a hundred greenskins.

Of course, this exchange ratio of almost 3:1 is actually acceptable.

But what cannot be ignored is the risk involved.

They had won the battle and had completely wiped out their opponents.

But what if you don’t win?

If Mesheko hadn't shot many officers with an iron fist when the whole army was shaken, and strictly ordered instructors at all levels to maintain discipline in the troops, and led the regiment leaders to take the lead and boost morale, then they would probably have been killed at that time.

It collapsed.

Once they collapse, the number of deaths during the escape may soar. Not only will they not be able to kill those greenskins, but their casualties may increase several times during the pursuit. Even if they are chased hard, they will not be able to escape even if they return.

It may not be possible to prevent the collapse of the entire army even in the original position, and then there will be big trouble.

In wars, the winning side always gains more.

In addition to killing a large number of greenskins, they gained something else: an improvement in the spirit of the army.

This was a bit of a tough battle, but it was won in the end. Although there were twists and turns in the process, as long as we won, the morale, combat confidence, and combat experience of the entire army would be improved. I have dealt with green skins head-on.

The soldiers, now that they have survived, will not be so afraid the next time they face the greenskins.

When they were adventurers in the past, the shadow cast by those greenskins was too deep.

Green skin phobia can be alleviated a little bit.

…

While the 4th Infantry Regiment was cleaning the battlefield, the 33-man special operations team was already on the road again.

From now on, there will be no friendly forces to cover them.

But it’s not really necessary anymore.

After passing through the enemy's densest front line and arriving at the rear, in this urban ruins area with a width of 60 kilometers and a depth of nearly 100 kilometers, it was obviously impossible for those greenskins to have manpower everywhere.

On the contrary, there are only tens of thousands of them, and this place that 'belongs' to them can be said to be leaky everywhere.

Occasionally, we see some green skins and farts, but it is not so easy to find their traces.

There is nothing to say about the stealth skills of the Space Marines. Even though they wear heavy power armor, when they don't want to make a sound, there is really no sound when their feet fall. As for the 28 special forces members, they are also well versed in this.

The way of stealth warfare.

Only if they discover the enemy in advance, they are rarely discovered.

When deep behind enemy lines, they will try to avoid fighting, which helps reduce the probability of exposure.

But if they really encounter someone and they have to fight, for example, if they are really discovered, or if someone is on their route and it will take a long time to go around, then they will choose to take action.

Even if you do take action, try not to move the gun.

Approach quietly and attack quickly. Combat daggers and sabers have become the main weapons.

Martins' chain sword doesn't even make a roaring sound, it just relies on its saw teeth to tear people apart.

There really was no target worth turning the chainsaw on.

In this way, they moved among the ruins for about a day and night, with only a few hours of rest in between.

They go as deep as possible and then expand the scope of investigation as much as possible.

It's a pity that greenskins are very difficult to communicate with, and they don't understand the language. They can't catch their tongues to get the information they want through interrogation.

But they still made a major discovery on the afternoon of the next day.

They found a greenskin starting position.

At a location sixty kilometers away from the front line, an action team from the Storm Squadron discovered a group of goons driving trucks and pushing pallets, gathering somewhere.

After they sent the information back, the entire team began to explore in that direction, and then they found the starting position.

The greenskins have cleared a large open space here, where tens of thousands of greenskin creatures are noisily gathered. One-third of them are greenskin boys, and there are almost twice their number of grots.

Grots are also a kind of green-skinned monsters that grow from green-skinned spores. They are shorter, thinner, and timid than those orc boys, but their cruelty is no less than that of other orcs.

Boys. They bully the weak and fear the strong.

, when encountering a powerful enemy, if there is no suppression by the orcs, they will easily lose morale and disperse; but when the enemy is weaker than them, or far outnumbered by them, once the psychological advantage comes up, they will become the most powerful.

A cruel executioner who loves to kill.

In greenskin society, grats usually exist as slave labor, servants of orcs, and even as food rations.

In this starting position, the number of enemies alone is already very large. Putting aside those bastards, there are more than 3,000 orc boys alone. This is almost more than the number of greenskins faced anywhere on the frontal front.
