Chapter 149, Killing Pot
After Schneider killed the biggest and greenest orc leader, the battle was almost over.
His other four combat brothers, including 28 soldiers of the 'Storm Squad' who are considered to be quite powerful in the eyes of the space fighters, together with the fire cover of the infantry regiment, will accompany the green-skinned leader to charge together. Forty or fifty orcs were all killed.
Needless to say about the abilities of the space fighters, except that he encountered a somewhat capable green-skinned leader who had been strengthened and let him exercise a little, his combat brothers basically didn't get any decent opponents.
Those ordinary green-skinned boys, when they encounter the electromagnetic rifles in the hands of the special soldiers of the Storm Squad, can't resist the G9 rifles as hard as they can, and they will die after a dozen bullets.
After making sure that all the greenskins were killed and no survivors could leak information about his group, he was finally relieved.
They hadn't planned to make a move.
The initiative of the 4th Infantry Regiment was originally to cover their actions.It is of course the best to be able to successfully wipe out all the greenskins in this area, after all, as long as all the enemies are killed, that is the most perfect infiltration.
Even if the attack fails, it doesn't matter.After attracting enough attention, the 33-member task force can completely bypass the side of the battlefield while the frontal fight is in full swing, also without anyone noticing.
In fact, that's what they intended to do.
However, their leader, after observing the situation on the frontal battlefield, changed his mind and decided to implement the first set of strategies: kill all the enemies.
Schneider knew that it was their Martins Chapter Commander who felt sorry for watching those mortal soldiers die, or to cover their mission.
Of course, he didn't object.After all, as long as they are killed, it will be fine if there are no green skins to report back.There are only dozens of them left, so killing them all is not too troublesome.
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.
In the past, Schneider has always dismissed and completely ignored these mortals.But at this time, he couldn't help but think of the red hat named Thaddeus, who did what his dead brother couldn't do.
And the one in front of him, although he didn't accomplish any feats, was not afraid in the face of danger, and could still maintain the dignity of a soldier in the face of death.
is a respectable one.
He nodded to the red hat in a strange way, then turned and left.
Ryder Mesheko also came to his senses.
Survived.
Looking at the fight between the space warrior and the green skin just now, there is no doubt that if I were replaced by myself, I would die eight hundred times.
It seems that there is still a big gap between a mortal like him and those ghosts and monsters.
But no matter what, 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 take back the wounded and even the corpses of dead teammates. Even if the death is relatively tragic, they must at least take away the armbands and badges that symbolize the identity of the soldiers.
After cleaning the battlefield, they will withdraw.
The position here cannot be maintained for a long time.Those green-skinned fortifications were already stretching their hips, let alone being bombed for a round; this place is far away from the front lines of other friendly troops, and it is not convenient to support them.
The combination of these problems made them unable to fight back if they faced the counterattack of the green skins.
But abandoning this position does not mean that their attack is worthless.
In addition to providing cover for the special operations team, their killing of the enemy's active forces this time is also sufficient.
During this battle, almost 500 of those greenskins died.Relatively speaking, the price paid by the human side was the casualties of more than 320 soldiers.
This battle loss ratio exceeds that of their defensive battles.
Of course, there are also special reasons.
After all, the price on the human side is not only more than 300 lives, but also [-] rounds of heavy artillery shells.
If it hadn't been for a batch of newly produced shells from Weixing City recently, I would really be reluctant to shoot so many shells in an hour.
Among the green skins that were eliminated, at least half were killed in the previous bombardment.Of the remaining 100 or so, there were more than [-] who were killed by the special operations team. The results that really belonged to the Fourth Infantry Regiment were only more than [-] green skins.
Of course, the exchange ratio of almost 3:1 is actually acceptable.
But what cannot be ignored is the risk inherent in it.
They have won the battle and 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 leader to lead the way to boost morale, then they might have been killed at that time. crashed.
Once it collapses, the number of deaths may soar when escaping.At that time, not only will they not be able to kill those green skins, their casualties may increase several times during the pursuit, and even if they are chased hard, they may not be able to stop the entire army even if they return to their original position. collapse, and then there will be big trouble.
In such things as wars, the side that wins can have more gains.
In addition to killing a large number of green skins, they also gained another point: the improvement of the army's spirit.
It was a bit of a bitter fight, but one that was won in the end.Although there are twists and turns in the process, as long as you win, the morale, combat confidence, and combat experience of the entire army will all be improved.Soldiers who have dealt with green skins head-on, since they survived, they will not be so afraid when they face green skins next time.
When they were adventurers before, those green skins cast too much shadow on them.
Green skin phobia can be alleviated a little bit.
...
When the 4th Infantry Regiment was cleaning the battlefield, the 33-member special operations unit had already embarked on the journey again.
After that, there will be no friendly troops to cover for them.
But not too much.
Passing through the densest enemy line and coming to the rear, in this city ruins area with a width of [-] kilometers and a depth of nearly [-] kilometers, it is obviously impossible for those green skins to have people everywhere.
On the contrary, they look like tens of thousands of people, this piece of 'belonging' to them can be said to be full of leaks.
Occasionally seeing some green skins and grits, it is not so easy to find their traces.
There is nothing to say about the stealth skills of the space fighters.Don't look at them wearing heavy power armor, but 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 stealth warfare.
It is only for them to discover the enemy in advance, and they are rarely discovered.
In the case of deep enemy lines, they will try to avoid fighting, which helps to reduce the probability of exposure.
And if they really have to fight, for example, if they are indeed discovered, or someone is on their way and it will take a long time to go around, then they will choose to fight.
Even if you do it, try not to move your gun.
Approaching quietly, making a rapid assault, combat daggers and sabers have become the main weapons.
Martins's chainsaw sword doesn't even make a roar, just relying on the sawtooth to tear people apart.
And there really wasn't a single target worth twisting the chainsaw for.
In this way, they acted among the ruins for about a day and a night.In between, there are only a few hours of rest.
They go as deep as possible, and then expand the scope of investigation as much as possible.
It's a pity that the green skins are very difficult to communicate with, and they don't understand the language, so they can't grab their tongues to get the information they want through interrogation.
But they still made a major discovery the next afternoon.
They found a starting position for the greenskins.
Sixty kilometers away from the front line, an action team from the storm squad found a group of farts driving trucks and pushing carts, converging somewhere.
After they passed the information back, the whole team began to explore in that direction, and then they found this starting position.
The green skins cleared out a large open space here, where tens of thousands of green skin creatures gathered noisyly.A third of them were Greenskins, and nearly twice as many Grots.
Grit is also a kind of green skin, which is also a monster that grows from green skin spores.They are shorter and thinner than those orc boys, and they are timid and cowardly, but their cruelty is not weaker than ordinary orc boys.They bully the weak and fear the strong. When encountering a powerful enemy, if there is no orc to suppress them, their morale will easily collapse and they will disperse; Incarnation of the cruelest executioner, especially love to kill.
In greenskin society, grits usually exist as slave labor, servants of orcs, and even rations.
In this starting position, just the number of enemies is already a lot.Leaving those farts aside, there are more than [-] orc boys alone.This was almost more green-skinned orcs than they had faced anywhere on the front line.
Moreover, there is a steady stream of reinforcements coming here from all over the place.
No one knows how many they can gather in the end.
What's more, the green skins gathered here are not only large in number, but also very well equipped.
Armed pickup trucks, tin barrel artillery, these guys who have already appeared will not be discussed.Martins and the others also saw two other big guys.
One, is an armed truck.
It is said to be a truck, but in fact the rear compartment is sealed with an armor plate, and an outwardly extending shooting position is provided, so that the shape of the entire body of the vehicle is quite awkward.There is also a cannon on the top of the front of the car, and a bulldozing blade is also installed on the front face of the car.The whole appearance looks like a random, wild and unreasonable one.
However, this is the true nature of Green Leather Technology.No matter how unreasonable it looks, if the green skins think it is reasonable, then this thing can move, and it works quite well.
And another thing, it upholds the same style, but it makes everyone present feel a little heavy: that is...'power armor', 'war mecha? '?
Whatever it is, it's been present among many greenskin clans.Humans call it the 'Killing Pot'.
A grit or a disabled greenskin was stuffed into a tin can. Due to the shocking technology of the greenskin, this is obviously not a wearable and demountable thing, but an immortality integrated with this machine.
From the upper and lower sides of the water tank, the mechanical structure protruding is the limbs.The arms of the upper limbs are equipped with melee or long-range weapons, and there are also large-caliber cannons on both sides of the tank.
This thing has appeared on many battlefields where green skins raged.They are not the main armor unit of the green skins, and the green skins have bigger guys.However, when such a three-meter-high thing appears on the battlefield and can move flexibly on a battlefield where many armored vehicles cannot move, its armor level and firepower will make human infantry feel desperate.
Even space warriors cannot ignore such opponents.The machine guns on both sides of the water tank fired a few more shots, which was enough to break through the power armor; the dual-fired rocket launcher held in one hand and the rocket launcher that can also automatically charge the powder also has good lethality. It was hit by the big axe, and even more It will kill you.
Of course, generally speaking, if they match up, the space fighters win more.Each of the five veterans present had blown up at least five killing jars in their hands.
But that's a career achievement, not a one-time win.If you really want to be besieged at once, you don't need five, and two or three are too much to bear.
And right now, in this green-skinned army that is still assembled, they have seen a total of ten such killing cans.
As more green skins gather later, I don't know if there will be more.
Armed trucks that can match the Rambler armored vehicles, killing tanks that are equivalent to beggars' version of power armor, and more than [-] green skins gathered. There are many powerful bosses in them, or they are much stronger than ordinary green skin boys' Tough Guy' Kid...
Such a force, if it goes to the front line and launches a direct impact on any place, the result will be devastating.
Human beings who are not prepared will almost undoubtedly be directly washed to death.
Fortunately, they have found out.
Now that the information is known, it's easy to talk about it.
They did not startle the enemy, and left quietly after marking the coordinates, and reported the information to the governor.
They didn't carry any communication equipment, and there was no need for that.The power armor worn by the space warriors integrated corresponding communication modules, and was also connected to the wireless communication channel of the frontline command post.The communication tower erected at the frontline command post is doing this job. When facing the green skins, they shouldn't have to worry about the threat of the radio being monitored.
They have no control over how the governor will treat this information later.
The follow-up instructions they received were to continue to investigate, to find the base camp of those green skins, to find their arsenal, to find their 'farm' and hatchery according to the predetermined target.
It may have been a little clueless before, but now it is easy to handle.
Two space warriors and a few members of the storm squad were left behind to stare at the large number of green skins at the starting position, while the rest followed the route of the gathered green skins and searched for the source in the opposite direction.
