Chapter 343, four years
Four years have passed by in a hurry, and this is already the fifth year that Ruggie Likosi has been fighting on Koruga.
Looking at the dilapidated city of Fino from afar, he couldn't help but think of the meeting and the conversation they had when the Governor passed by Koroga on his way back to the Angry Owl Star after the engagement ceremony four years ago.
At that time, he had only been fighting in Koruga for less than a year.He remembered that he told the Governor some of his views on the war.
He was a soldier, and before that he wasn't even a soldier.He was originally just a small businessman active in Garbage Town, reselling some daily necessities and minerals. It wasn't until his wife and children died at the hands of green-skinned aliens that he shouldered a gun and vowed to kill everyone. green skin.
The formation of the beast-slaying group was something that happened later. At that time, he was just driven by hatred and did it in a ruthless manner.
At that stage, he never imagined that after joining the alliance just to be able to kill the greenskins better and following the situation, he actually killed all the greenskins in a short period of time.The sky fire that fell from the sky and seemed to destroy everything was still fresh in his memory to this day.
From then on, he became determined and transformed into a soldier's mentality to serve the alliance.
He experienced the entire war process of the unification of the Raging Bears, and then was sent to Koroga to fight against the evil spirits. From the beginning, he was the acting commander, and now he is commanding almost the entire Raging Bear Legion, a million-strong army. In a few years, he was promoted to the serious rank of Imperial Brigadier General.
But no matter how his identity has changed over the years, he has always considered himself a soldier, and he can only see things from a soldier's perspective.
This was the origin of the so-called military needs to solve the Koroga problem that he proposed to the Governor at that time.
But he also remembered that after Governor Gu listened to his words, he sighed with a wry smile, and then said to him:
"It seems that you will stay in Koroga for many years."
A proverb.
With a military mentality, Li Kexi did not understand many things.For example, he didn't understand why the Governor knew that the solution he proposed at that time was impossible to implement.
Isn't that a simple thing?
Fifty million Astra Militarum, or one billion native troops, this number seems to be an astronomical number at first glance.But if the background is the human empire that spans the galaxy and Koroga with a population of 5000 billion, it seems like nothing.
In the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, there are nine Army Groups named after the Star Territory, the Dragon Eagle Legion alone. There are also many other named Astra Militarum units, similar to the Raging Bear Legion. Currently, only the 3rd Army Group is present. Tianma Star District.
According to Li Kexi's idea, there is always a way to squeeze out an army group from other places.
As for the one billion troops, it is an exaggeration to say that there are too many, but for Koruga, a city with a population of 400 billion, it only needs to achieve a mobilization ratio of 2.5% of the army.
He did not ask this question to the governor at the time, but over the years, he gradually thought of some reasons.For example, although the empire has many armies, it has more enemies, and no army can be squeezed out; for example, it is relatively easy to achieve a high mobilization rate of millions or tens of millions of people, but Koruga 400 billion people is very difficult. The government's mobilization capacity requirements are not of the same level. What's more, Koruga's finances cannot support an army of one billion people to fight.
But after thinking about this, Li Kexi's questions not only did not decrease, but actually became more.
Difficulties in reality do exist objectively, but...this is a fucking critical time!Even when death is imminent, we are still talking about this difficulty and that difficulty!
Wait for the fucking 400 billion population to fall, and the mournful song played by the bodies, lives, and souls of the entire 400 billion people will reverberate in the subspace, turning the entire Kroga into a super devil's cave, and then radiate outwards and engulf the entire The star region, and even several surrounding star regions, have evolved into a star field-level threat no less than the iron-toothed greenskins, so we won't talk about those difficulties, right?
He admitted that he had a grievance.
He is not a Korokian, but he has fought here for so long and watched countless Korokians suffer. As long as he is a human being, his heart will always be touched.Even if it is just a soldier's position, he needs to know what the meaning of fighting for himself and the soldiers under his command is.
But no matter how great the resentment is, it cannot change the situation.
The power he expected to solve the problem has never arrived in the past four years.
And he could only watch his soldiers deliver countless bullets and cannonballs in front of those monsters; watch his soldiers fight bravely, sacrificing one batch after another...
Although the Raging Bear Legion has expanded its army, most of its troops now actually come from Koruga itself. Once every two years, the Ministry of Military Affairs will allocate part of the population part of the imperial tax received from Korroga to the Raging Bears. Legion.On the one hand, it is to supplement the losses of the Raging Bear Legion in the previous battle, and on the other hand, it is to further expand the army.
Four years ago, the Raging Bear Legion had expanded to 50 people; and now, the Raging Bear Legion has millions of people, and it is getting more and more.
Under this number, only 20% of the soldiers in the Raging Bear Legion come from the Alliance, which is about the same as the total number before the expansion, and the remaining newly expanded troops basically come from Koroga.
At the same time, the Raging Bear Legion also complied with the requirements of Gui Hang and maintained at least 10% of the alliance's personnel in the newly created unit numbers.
As for weapons, equipment and logistical supplies, the alliance accepts orders from the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs for direct supply.
But even after many rounds of military expansion, the Raging Bear Legion's personnel are mainly composed of Koroga people, but they are still the best-performing army-level force on the entire Koroga.Under the command of Lieutenant General Hans, the Raging Bear Legion always undertakes very important tasks.
Li Kexi asked himself, they had fought hard enough.At the same time, they also have a very high opinion of the soldiers of the Dragon Eagle Legion-3rd Army Group who fight alongside them. The Astra Militarum and some planetary defense forces are indeed not the same concept.
But they still retreated.
Four years ago, they were still able to control the top level of the hive city of Fino City, and they could launch some military operations on the ground from time to time to seize some resources, evacuate some uninfected people, or report information to Groups of enemies are attacked.
Two years ago, they had almost withdrawn from the ground part of the hive city, and even the top part of the hive city began to suffer serious erosion.
A year ago, the Astra Militarum was already feeling overwhelmed.Fino City has now become a dead zone, with almost no army or living people serving the army.Normal residents would have been evacuated in the past few years; the rest are basically hopeless.
In addition, a year ago, more and more plague infection incidents and plague cult incidents were reported in other nest areas.Even in the planet's capital, Mingyan City, the Disi District has begun to show signs of losing control.
The Koroga defense force, which is severely undermanned and has only just expanded to [-] million, cannot control so many large-scale hives.In some serious places, the Astra Militarum even divided its troops to deal with them.
This also seriously weakened the Astra Militarum's control over the situation in Fino City.
Therefore, a year ago, Lieutenant General Hans made a decision to completely withdraw all forces from Fino City and no longer spend them here.
All the troops left the hive within a month, taking with them all the healthy people they could.
Immediately afterwards, a navy cruiser, together with multiple destroyers, began a coordinated attack on the city of Fino.This attack was carried out by means of extermination.There are no more worries. They plan to completely destroy the entire city of Fino and eliminate this largest demon cave and source of infection.
In this way, the freed-up Astra Militarum and local defense forces can invest their freed forces in other hives to solve problems that can still be solved.
Anyway, Fino City is hopeless.
However, later facts proved that this decision was still too late.
When the sky fire fell, the orbital strike was even more grand than the one Li Kexi saw when he bombarded the green-skinned orcs on the Raging Owl Star.After all, in addition to a cruiser, several destroyers were involved in the strike.They are not just carrying out one strike, but intend to carry out multiple rounds of super-saturated orbital bombing.
Since we want to destroy, we must ensure that we destroy it completely.
However, after the bombing started, the first few rounds still had relatively good effects, and the entire upper area of Fino City was basically destroyed.Then, a layer of purple and green light film appeared on the half-ruined Fino City, blocking the impact from the orbit.
Although it was different from the regular ones, in the end, they confirmed that what appeared over Fino City was the void shield.
A special void shield powered by the evil magic of the warp.
This is so surprising. Even now, people are shocked to realize that in the past few years of losing control, under the festering wounds that the Astra Militarum cannot solve, those plague evildoers have actually developed to the point where To this extent!
When Lieutenant General Hans held an emergency meeting to discuss how to solve the void shield hanging over Fino City so that the orbital strike could continue, things took a further turn.
From the hole leaking out of the destroyed upper area of Fino City, dozens of dark green missiles pierced the pale yellow atmosphere of Koroga and shot straight into the sky.
Lieutenant General Hans immediately sensed something was wrong and immediately contacted the Imperial Navy in orbit.
Sure enough, they were struck.
The plague cult in Fino City now not only controls the void shield to protect the city that already belongs to them from orbital attacks, but has even further developed countermeasures.This kind of anti-orbital firepower is undoubtedly a direct threat to the Imperial Navy's fleet.
The Imperial Navy did not expect this at all at the beginning. The cruiser "Concerto" did not even open the void shield and received a solid shot.
It's understandable that they don't use shields.They were not fighting a naval battle, and in their original expectations, they did not expect to be beaten.Whether it's a void shield or an energy shield, it requires a lot of energy to support it, and that's all money.
But just such an oversight caused considerable losses.
The hull of the cruiser is still strong enough. Even if it is hit by a shot, it will only be damaged. It is not a big problem. It is just a matter of going back to repair the ship.However, there was a destroyer that also did not have its energy shield turned on. It was quite unlucky to receive six shots. One of the shots penetrated the power compartment and caused an implosion.
So, on Koroga, people in the right position looked up at the sky and saw a huge firework exploding in the sky.
Losing a destroyer is definitely not a small matter.No matter which battle destroyer of the Tianma Fleet, the cost is no less than 13 billion.
Calculated based on ten tax coins per big-headed soldier, this is the life of 3000 million big-headed soldiers.
What's more, there were more than 4 naval soldiers on the fully manned destroyer.
This time it was all blown away.
The navy fleet in chaos immediately opened their void shields and energy shields one by one, and then projected firepower to the surface even more fiercely.
The collision between the orbit and the surface lasted for three days.
Li Kexi and the others who gathered around Fino City only watched the extremely brilliant 'fireworks display' for three days.
This artillery battle between the ground and orbit ended with the Imperial Navy giving up.
In the communication that made the final decision, the commander of the Imperial Navy made it clear to Hans in a rather embarrassing manner that they would not continue the fight.
For one thing, they were running out of ammunition.
On the other hand, and the most important reason is that they see no hope of winning.
Although during these three days, the Imperial Navy always had the initiative. After all, they could fight if they wanted to. If they didn't want to fight, they could fly along the orbit of the planet to the other side, avoid the gunfire, and wait until the energy shield was not overloaded before returning.It was precisely because of this initiative that the Imperial Navy never suffered further losses.
However, there is obviously nothing they can do against Fino City.
Ships are constantly being forced away by the anti-orbital firepower of the Plague Cultists. In the past three days, the orbital firepower has never reached the saturation state at the beginning, and it has been unable to completely break the void shield of Fino City. .
Lieutenant General Hans was also quite dissatisfied. He asked the navy why they did not dare to sacrifice themselves and completely destroy the void shield?
The navy masters on the opposite side were not to be outdone. Losing one ship was already a huge loss, and they were absolutely unwilling to accept the risk of losing another ship.
In their words, "The value of any ship is more valuable than all your lives on the ground put together. Instead of letting us fight desperately, it is better for you to launch a ground attack. As long as their anti-orbital firepower is destroyed, I will Keep bombing the surface.”
These words made Lieutenant General Hans very angry, but what happened was that even if what the other party said was not the truth, it might not be much different.
The two sides could only engage in a fierce war of words and exchanged insults, but the final result was that no one could convince anyone to bear this sacrifice.
This matter has been dragged on for a whole year until now.
