Chapter 443: An annihilation war is more effective

Chapter 443: An annihilation war is more effective

The war on the other side of the river was progressing rapidly.

Although the scale of the orcs' gathering was far greater than expected, and the gap in the front line created was larger than expected, so much so that the three divisions and the Home Defense Force responsible for blocking the gap suffered huge casualties in less than a week of fighting.

But with the heroic and fearless persistence of the human troops, Perbov still got the chance he wanted.

The troops he assembled, including the Alliance Army alone, included four armies, totaling more than three million people; the Home Defense Force also had the same mobilization scale.

Some troops marched from the west side of the encirclement, some troops continued to penetrate resolutely to the south, and some troops reinforced the defense line on the north bank of the river, preparing to cross the river to pursue the enemy after the entire line was shaken...

One of the decisive battles was personally directed by Perbov.

He called not only the alliance's multiple skeleton divisions and elite armored divisions, but also the most important strategic force at his disposal - the Knights, which is actually the 'National Knights' of the Titan Cluster!
This army is Purbeuf's treasure. The total number of Titans saved by the Alliance is actually not that many. They have only produced twenty-three units in the past few years. However, the number of Ranger Knight mechas is quite a bit more, about three hundred units.

With such strength, the 'National Knights' is not small in scale. It is not an exaggeration to call it a pocket Titan army. Compared with the real Titan army, on the one hand, it is inferior in quantity, and on the other hand, it is still inferior in some aspects. High quality Titan.

What's the point of just having a war dog level? If we can build some war generals and even warmasters as the core, then we can have the appearance of a serious Titan army!
Of course, those are still a bit far away.

Their reserve team on the west side was the first to be defeated, and could not play a role in blocking, delaying or defending at all.

From the west side of the river bank, three Titans launched a fierce attack, bringing more than 80 Knight mechas, 70 Lion tanks, 2,000 Lion tanks, and more than 40,000 armored combat vehicles of various types, sweeping over!

What is the steel torrent?

The infantry tanks fired wildly with their cannons, and the infantry attacked ferociously. The greenskin manipulators who controlled the artillery were happily throwing firepower towards the other side of the river a second ago, but now they were beaten to the point of crying. Even the orc supervising team The roars were in vain, and they collapsed on a large scale on the spot.

Fight! Is it possible that we greenskins don't like fighting?
He could also see that the shrimps on the other side of the river had been drained of their blood. With a little more effort, he could achieve the victory he wanted.

The green-skinned artillery positions were quickly cleared one by one. The armored vehicles took the infantry and galloped to the next place. Even if a vehicle got stuck in the mud halfway, at most a few people would be left to try to rescue it, or they would simply give up and turn around. Pack it up, we have to keep the speed anyway.

But I didn't expect that crossing the river would be more difficult than imagined, and the losses would be huge. The boys under his command did make it through a lot, and even sent many heavy units over. However, Xiami, who expected to be quickly defeated and killed once he was beaten, actually stood firm on the defense line.

At this point, the orc bosses in each unit were all on top, and the warlord couldn't control them. In fact, he didn't care at all. He himself was on top.

As for the real main attack direction, there is no need to call out the Titans, Knight mecha clusters and tank clusters. Instead, infantry from all walks of life cooperate with them. The strong wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, chewing down the heavy units that the green-skinned orcs were not prepared for one by one. Importantly The strongholds and military camps were cleared.

Even if those green-skinned orcs were able to fight, they couldn't withstand such a charge.

The orc warlord was obviously not willing to accept defeat like this.

The green-skinned orcs are not incapable of resistance at all.

Next is the aviation force. There are 2,000 of them. Even if it is just a Wind Falcon, it can lick the ground with a few missiles and cannons. It can also help. The aviation force has to fight the Orc air force in the sky, which is more difficult than the artillery force. Call a little bit.

This is the torrent of steel!
At least more than 10,000 cannons, farther away, with a scale of 20,000 to 30,000 shells per minute, hit this battlefield of 100 kilometers wide and 60 kilometers deep, providing the human army with batches and distribution of weapons. Attack across the board to provide fire support!

At the moment, although the National Knights have not all gone to war and are all under the command of Perbov, only half of them have come, but the role they can play on the battlefield is already very great.

While Purbov made mistakes, he also made mistakes. He overestimated the offensive capabilities of his troops and underestimated the defensive willfulness of the shrimps on the other side of the river. In his opinion, he had ten times the force and crossing the river should be smooth. Those shrimps should be destroyed by him just like before. Even if you can gather troops to defend some places, cross the river from other directions, and launch an attack from the other side of the river, you can still win in one fell swoop.

The best thing to call is the divisional artillery, followed by the artillery assembled by the group army. Anyway, for this attack, the cannons are enough. As long as they don't run too far, they will come as soon as they are called.

Under the baptism of heavy artillery and the impact of the torrent of steel, the green-skinned orcs, whose original military arrangements focused on attacking the river, simply could not withstand such a blow.

Once these mechanized infantry encounter the enemy, they will put down the infantry and fight together. The orcs are just infantry, armed trucks, etc., so just attack them and defeat them; if they are larger, or there are some powerful units among the enemy that are difficult to deal with, then call for support.

Immediately afterwards, the greenskin attack on the river bank was forced to abort. Some troops were rushing to fight, and some troops were attacked from the side without knowing what happened. The artillery's muzzles were not even turned around, and they were rushed into the face by the mechanized infantry.

If the idea is really too strong, then don't fight, just use more people, or use armored division tanks or even Titans to come over. This kind of troops that are not in the main attack direction cannot be summoned, but generally it will not reach this point.

As a result, at this moment, the human army from the side came over, causing his attack plan to fail.

This was also the second mistake he made: he once again misestimated the combat effectiveness of the human army.

His tribal prophets had warned him that the human army was rapidly amassing large numbers of troops on the west side. Of course he took this news to heart and arranged troops to defend it.

But he really didn't expect that the reserve troops would be overwhelmed in an instant under the steel torrent of the human legion.

He had no ability to resist at all, and had not even completed the blocking function. When he learned that the shrimps had broken through the west defense line, their steel torrent had already hit his face.

After the reserve team collapsed, almost all of the remaining green-skinned troops were in the process of attacking across the river. They were unable to withstand the human impact at all, so that the situation evolved into what it is now.

But he still doesn't give up so easily.

He believes that the troops under his command are still large and of high quality. As long as he can withstand this wave of offensive, he will have a chance to gather his troops again.

An army of nearly two million orcs, equipped with a large number of elite units and heavy-duty units. As long as they can be assembled and organized to restore their organization, they will have considerable combat effectiveness and be qualified to compete with the main force assembled by humans.

To take a step back, you can also break out of the encirclement created by those shrimps. Worst of all, at least they can build an effective defensive position on the south bank of the river and wait for reinforcements.

But the premise of everything is that he can contain the steel torrent of human troops, and not let the entire army of two million people be exhausted under the sweep and cannot be organized at all.

Organization is the lifeblood of any army, even greenskins.

And the way this orc warlord came up with was to fight head-on.

He pulled out an elite force, consisting of tens of thousands of his direct troops, including a large number of heavily armored guards, each of whom was jointly transformed by the orc mad doctor and technical master, and combined with the steel Blended into one, it can be called the orc version of a can.

Among them, there are more than a hundred super-heavy orcs. On the Star Sea battlefield, this green-skinned elite unit is famous.

Taking the Space Marines as the standard, looking at these two types of green-skinned elites, the combat effectiveness of the heavily armored Orks is inferior to that of the Space Marines, but they have a chance to win if they are surrounded, which is about the same level as the alliance's special warfare elites equipped with feedback power armor. ; The latter can directly fight against genuine Space Marines, and even has a slightly higher winning rate due to racial characteristics!
In addition, the warlord has gathered as many armored units as possible around him. Not to mention small gadgets like murder cans, which are more powerful than sentinel mechas. They are basically the same. It's a positioning thing; the Death Can is much larger and has a similar positioning to the Knight Mecha, but if it gets into a fight, it will be torn by the Knight Mecha in turn.

There are a lot of armed trucks, but the difference between the upper and lower limits of these things is a bit big. The poorly modified ones are just armed personnel carriers; the ones with better technical skills can reach the level of human main tanks.

There are also a number of Scrooges, but only ten of them. Compared with the Lion King tank, this thing is about the same in strength, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

As for something that can compete with the Warhound Titan... The Orcs have the idol King Kong, but he doesn't have one, nor does the entire Temir 5. This top-notch land warfare ace of the orcs, even if it was very precious to the entire Iron Teeth clan, was all dragged to the frontal battlefield by Titus.

This is a big problem. There is nothing to contain the Titans, so we can only rely on small units to pile them up.

He even prepared to play in person.

Picking up his firearm that killed thirty Tech Masters before he was satisfied with the one made, and the battle ax that accompanied him to kill from the bottom. If necessary, he would take care of those Titans with his own hands. .

Charge, chop limbs, chop weapons, kill drivers...so what if there's an energy shield? Can you block my axe?

then……

He died at the hands of the Titans.

This crucial battle took place on the fourth day of mankind's all-out general attack. The troops led by the orc warlord personally faced the main force of an advancing human armored group.

This is his choice. There is no point in fighting a small team. It will not turn the tide of the battle at all. If you want to fight, fight hard!
They gained a good advantage at the beginning of the battle and destroyed many Lion tanks and four Lions. But when the main force of the alliance's armor arrived, they were still annihilated.

In fact, the Alliance's heavy artillery was the first to arrive on the battlefield.

After sensing the enemy's elite mass, the Alliance's artillery units obtained the coordinates of fire coverage and opened fire directly. There are even some artillery positions that insist on taking a share of the pie and would rather drive their self-propelled artillery forward a few kilometers to bring these enemies into the strike range.

These artillery pieces are actually the most threatening thing to the green skins, and the green skins can't even find a way to fight back and can only be passively bombed.

The 155 howitzer, as long as it is not far from the center of the explosion, you can kill everything except the Skogo Beast; even within the edge of the explosion, the Kill Canister and the Heavy Orc cannot withstand it.

Continuous bombings severely reduced the number of this green-skinned elite. Although they, under the leadership of the orc warlord, charged forcefully and brought the distance very close to the armored cluster so that the alliance's artillery could no longer bomb without restraint, the number of losses was already very large, not to mention that after the tanks were put in, The hit rate of the cannon is higher, and the armor-piercing cannon is enough to penetrate the soul with one shot.

When the Orc Warlord also tried to get close to a Titan, he was hit by an armor-piercing cannon from the Lion tank, including his left leg and mecha parts. Then the Titan stepped over mercilessly, and was killed. Trampled to death.

His failed attempt not only cost him his life, but also destroyed the last hope of the green-skinned orcs to reorganize their army.

This entire large-scale green-skin attack was called by him, and the racial characteristics of the green-skin are very dependent on the individual commander. Once the commander dies, the normal orc army may have civil strife, collapse, lose organization, and fight independently, not to mention the current chaotic state.

What's more, the elite team he took the risk to gather were also the cream of the two million greenskins. In other places, it would be very difficult to gather so many green-skin armors and green-skin elites, and it is even said that they are almost gone.

With their retreat in the south blocked, the river in the north unable to be defeated after receiving reinforcements, and the main force of the human army attacking them in the west, they could only keep running passively to the east. In this process, a large number of orcs were overtaken, divided and eliminated, and sent away directly by sharp shelling...

Then, they ran all the way to the sea.

At this time, about 60% of the two million orcs were left. They were forced at the angle between the coast and the mouth of the river, surrounded by approaching human troops, and they themselves had no supplies.

It's okay if the greenskins don't eat, and the worst they can do is eat each other; however, bullets and cannonballs can't be conjured out of thin air.

With supplies depleted, a large number of orcs who can only fight with bare hands and have not yet reestablished unified command are nothing more than powerful beasts.

Land-washing shelling and bombing killed all 1.2 million orcs on the coastline.

At this point, the battle that lasted for one and a half months came to an end.

Despite the setbacks and sacrifices, the campaign goals set by Purbov were still achieved.

This main force of two million orcs was wiped out, and the price paid by the human side was less than 400,000 casualties.

The battle damage ratio of 1:5 is much better than the 2:1 under normal conditions!
The annihilation war was more effective. In the end, the 120 million orcs were massacred, and our own losses were almost negligible. They were blocked in a narrow place and relied on artillery bombardment, which only cost a lot of artillery shells.
