Chapter 178: Hot Battlefield Combined Offensive
Chapter 178: Hot Battlefield Combined Offensive
Orcs have a clear social hierarchy, and weak orcs will obey strong orcs. Ordinary orcs are called "boys", and the one who rules a group of boys is called "boss", and the one who rules the boss is called "chief", a total of three levels.
But in fact, [Boss] is also divided into different levels: the one who rules an area is called a [Boss], the one who rules a planet is called a [Warlord], and the one who unifies an entire galaxy can become a [War Warlord].
If an orc leader can establish a super power spanning multiple galaxies, he will be given the title of "Great Devil" or "Super War Lord" among the orcs.
Staff Officer McCree nodded and agreed, "That's right. We just need to let the mortal army spread out the battle line and create a fierce enough battlefield to lure this warlord out."
Using cheap mortal troops as cannon fodder while elite Astartes monks carry out decapitation raids is a common combat method used by the human empire. Although it is inhumane, it has repeatedly been effective.
The company champion Michal said: "The veterans are ready to carry out the decapitation operation!"
Sagan took a look at the battle plan and found that there were indeed no loopholes. In the end, he put aside his concerns, nodded and said, "Okay, I will lead the think tank team and be ready to provide support at any time."
Captain Antus stated: "Orbital bombardment and fighter formations are ready and on standby at any time."
"Okay! Let's have a good fight with the greenskins!"
The second company commander shouted with great fighting spirit.
More than one hundred Astartes warriors of the Second Company on the Flamingo were ready to fight with great enthusiasm.
Soon the fleet arrived near Makaria and was intercepted by a space fleet deployed near the planet.
Thousands of tattered orc spaceships, no two of them alike, rushed towards the human fleet, with no formation at all, and it seemed that every orc couldn't wait to join the battle.
The orc spaceship's cannon even fired shells driven by fart spirits, which shot into the fleet with a fanatical look on their faces.
"Fire!"
The response to the orc fleet was a volley of fire from the human fleet. Torpedoes, electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, plasma cannons... colorful beams formed a dense light net in space, bombarding the orc fleet.
At one encounter, hundreds of orc spaceships were shot up in space and turned into huge fireballs.
Obviously, the human side has an absolute advantage in space combat. Especially the flagship Flamingo located in the center of the fleet, the weapons carried are obviously more powerful than other ships by an era - due to the technological regression of the Hades galaxy, the technological level of space battleships is far below the imperial standard.
A single flaming spear or a single macro cannon shot was enough to destroy a large Orc warship. Facing Orc spaceships without void shield protection, the Flamingo smashed them into pieces with one hit, just like a bullet hitting an egg.
The orcs' attacks landed on the Flamingo, but were bounced off by the Flamingo's void shield and failed to cause any damage to it.
Even if there were slow orc transporters or suicide bombers approaching occasionally, they would be shot down by the Flamingo's powerful defense system. Although the warships of the human empire were not impressive in appearance, they had gone through countless actual combat tests in the ten thousand year war, and both their firepower and defense were full.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that the mobility is a bit touching. However, the imperial military, which advocates strong ships and powerful guns, will not care about this defect.
Soon, the Hades-human joint fleet wiped out the orc fleet that blocked the way and firmly occupied the air supremacy over the planet Makaria.
Next comes the ground battle.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Bright flames flashed on the surface of the planet Makaria, and could be clearly seen with the naked eye from space.
Each ball of fire represents an area of several kilometers or even tens of kilometers that was hit by devastating artillery fire.
The human empire's usual practice in warfare is to first fire a barrage of fire to destroy the enemy's fortifications and reduce the number of enemy troops. If they do not consider retaining the planet, they may even skip the landing battle and directly destroy the planet with a barrage of fire.
Of course, star-destroying weapons are strategic weapons that are difficult to obtain and replenish. Unless necessary, the Space Marine Corps will not use them easily.
After several hours of bombing, the planet was already ablaze with flames, and the dust rising into the sky covered the planet with a layer of gray dust cloud.
——It seems that no living creature can survive such a brutal bombing.
But the Space Marines of the Ash Claws knew that this bombardment was far from enough to cause any serious damage to the huge number of Orks on the planet, who had thick skin and strong vitality.
As soon as human ground forces land, a huge green tide will immediately surge out of the seemingly scorched earth planet and surround the human army.
This is the experience accumulated by the Space Marines after fighting the Orks for ten thousand years.
However, Julius, the commander-in-chief of this battle, issued the landing order without hesitation.
Suddenly, millions of shuttles covered the sky of Makaria and landed on a plain on the planet.
Tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and hundreds of millions of fully armed mortal troops deployed huge positions on the planet and launched a fierce attack on the orcs' underground fortresses and military fortresses.
"Waaagh!"
As expected by Julius, as soon as the human troops landed, thousands of orc troops rushed out of their bunkers excitedly. Green torrents gathered together to form a sea of millions of legions, driving all kinds of strange-looking planes, tanks, mechas, and even riding strange-looking beasts to launch a frenzied charge towards the human positions.
For a moment, the joyful shouts of "Waaagh!" resounded throughout the entire planet, and all the orcs on the planet threw themselves into the battle excitedly as if they had taken drugs.
The hundreds of millions of human troops that landed first were suddenly surrounded by an orc army that was several times their number.
——There are no tactics or strategies, the main thing is to use all your strength to create miracles.
Endless orcs gushed out from underground everywhere on the planet like fountains, as if the entire planet was filled with orcs.
"Ground troops, hold the line."
"Captains, aim at the places where the orcs are most concentrated and bomb them hard!"
"Second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth companies, follow the mission markers and carry out decapitation operations against the orc leaders."
The experienced Urius took a comprehensive look at the battlefield and quickly issued a series of deployments.
The space fleet, ground forces, and space marine tactical teams coordinated their actions and struck with thunderous force.
Infantry and heavy weapons formed a solid defense line of steel and flesh, standing firm under the impact of the green tide.
Orbital bombardments continued to fall from overhead, blasting out huge balls of flames, scorching mushroom clouds rising up, and patches of death vacuum areas appeared among the Orc army.
Under the cover of artillery fire and bombing, the Astartes drop pods took advantage of the chaos and fell from the sky, smashing heavily into the Ork army like a meteorite. The tall Space Marines wearing gray-red power armor, holding assault bolters, melta guns, power axes, and lightning claws, rushed into the enemy group like a whirlwind, rushed directly to the location of the Ork leader, and took the enemy general's head in the midst of thousands of troops.
