Chapter 150, Orbital Bombing
After receiving the news, Gu Hang couldn't even eat well.
There are ten thousand greenskins, including more than three thousand serious orcs, and the number is still increasing.
There are already differences in individual combat capabilities, and the biggest gap is in the ability to withstand strikes. Now, the opponent has all kinds of crude and ridiculous heavy firepower and heavy equipment that 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’s those greenskins who are going to attack with all their strength?
Fortunately, this information was detected in advance. If we were really unprepared for such an impact, there would be big problems.
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 still almost 50,000 soldiers taking turns to rest and reorganize in the rear.
Although the frontline has lost half of its manpower, it is actually much more stable than when the adventurers were stationed in Garbage Town before. After the adaptation, the soldiers have more reliable equipment and their military skills have been greatly improved. They are comparable to the adventurers.
Can hit a lot.
However, doesn’t this mean preparing for an impact or even a full-scale counterattack?
The follow-up troops must of course go to the premise and serve as a reserve team, ready to put out fires at any time.
Of course, if it is not used, it must be the best.
Wasn’t the orbital strike firepower that I asked Yelicia for earlier just to solve a similar problem?
It would be really difficult to fight those greenskins if they were scattered one by one and hiding in the ruins of the city. The orbital strike was even more powerful, but the city that was already in ruins could still be blown to pieces? Those greenskins hiding in the ruins bunkers
The green skins themselves have strong vitality. If they are in the core area of the orbital strike bombardment, they will definitely die, and they will be buried to death. But if they are in the peripheral areas, they may actually survive a lot.
But now, they have gathered together and cleared an open area as a starting point. Doesn't this make it clear that they are here to fight him?
Gu Hang was determined and asked Yelicia to help with a small-scale, but more targeted bombardment first.
Using a few rounds of 'Hot Hammer' macro cannons, plus ten 'Scalpel' ship-based missiles, to blast directly towards the starting position, it may not be possible to kill all the greenskins gathered there, but I'm afraid it won't be possible to kill 90% of them.
problematic.
However, after thinking about it, Gu Hang still suppressed this tempting idea.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so if I fry it now, I won't get the maximum benefit.
What Yelicia could win for him was the opportunity for a round of bombing, so he had to seize it.
Be patient, be patient again. What he has to do now is to prepare his troops to deal with 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, while walking, Martins suddenly raised a question to Schneider next to him:
"There's something wrong with these greenskins, do you feel it?"
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 greenskins, which is not enough to support a disaster. If the greenskin spores are because
Something fell onto this planet, took root, and then the clan grew from scratch.
Well, at this stage and in this number, they should only be able to maintain a very primitive technological state. Even the original natives of Garbage Town gave the greenskins some brains during the battle to accelerate their development.
But green-skin technology of this level shouldn’t appear so soon.”
"You want to say that these greenskins were not simply developed from the local area?" Schneider's attitude also became cautious.
If that's the case, and these greenskins come from a powerful, interstellar clan, then we're in big trouble.
But soon, Schneider rejected this idea: "It's unlikely. There have never been any reports of attacks by alien forces on the Raging Owl. If the green-skinned clan with the ability to interstellar navigation focuses on this planet, with their
Characteristics, they will not send only a handful of teams over. A few large battleships, carrying hundreds of thousands or even millions of greenskins, will multiply quickly after landing and flood the planet. This is their normal method."
Regarding what Schneider said, Martins also agreed: "So, this is the most contradictory part of the whole thing. We must remind our brothers that this operation cannot simply regard these greenskins as the kind of wild orcs.
, Original orcs, you must 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 don't talk much anymore.
There will be no difficulty in finding the enemy's base camp by following the routes used by greenskins to transport supplies and replenish troops.
On the night of the second day 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 factories are bustling with activity.
Space Marines, soldiers of the Storm Squadron, do not have the ability to sneak into the base camp. After all, without the conditions for makeup detection, cross-race detection can only be done to this extent.
But enough is enough.
They marked the green-skin base camp, marked the green-skin military factory, and then found three large-scale incubation farms in the surrounding area. Those huge, tropical plant-like things grew strongly in the ruins of the city.
came out.
Just as Martins told Gu Hang before, this is definitely not an ideal place for green-skinned orcs to thrive. Even if these green-skinned orcs have tried their best to carve out a relatively flat place, they try to expose the soil as much as possible and connect it as much as possible.
There is water flow, but the soil is not suitable, the light is not good, and the water resources are not sufficient...
The green-skinned ones are tough enough and can grow out one after another in this kind of environment.
Now is the 'harvest' season for green-skinned plants. They saw with their own eyes that under the light, they saw huge fruit pods hanging down on the twisted plants, and something seemed to be wriggling inside.
, and then suddenly, the fruit pod opened directly, and a green-skinned creature fell out of it.
This process keeps 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. They have a set of fangs and a mouth that can be opened to an exaggerated size. But in reality
On the other hand, they play the role of livestock in the green-skinned ecosystem.
Some are used for beauty salons, some are used for food, some are kept 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 food source for the orcs.
And after Squigmon, the second most numerous are the Grots.
This is the orc's servant, cannon fodder, and can also be eaten if necessary.
And even fewer are serious green-skinned orcs.
Whether it's 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 incubation farm.
If the three incubation farms we checked were all hatched with this efficiency, I am afraid that within a month, the number of green-skinned orcs alone would have to increase by 20,000, and at least 50,000 or 60,000 more grats would be produced.
Martins is now very happy that he seriously warned Gu Hang about the risks involved. He is also happy that Gu Hang listened to his warning and did not ignore the threat.
Otherwise, you will be in big trouble.
What happens next is relatively simple.
It's nothing more than marking coordinates.
They couldn't be very precise, because when they marked, there was actually a certain distance from the target location. Even at this distance, they encountered the greenskins several times, but they were killed silently by them.
.
With the green skin's discipline, they shouldn't be able to notice if a few people are thrown away - they will die a lot every day in their own internal fights and fun.
But even if the marking is not very accurate, it doesn't matter much. It's probably at this location. The area covered by the macro bombardment is still very large.
A single 'Scalpel' missile can almost destroy a small wind farm, let alone much more powerful macro cannons, as well as large macro cannons such as 'Wrath of Tadashi'.
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, he marked the arsenal, the incubation farm, and the places where the murder jars in the greenskin army were located in more depth. Then, he marked a bunch of places that were impossible to explore in depth, but were suspected to be 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 the orbital strike. Please ensure your own safety and confirm the impact of the strike after the orbital strike is over."
"receive."
"Thank you for your hard work."
