Chapter 715: The Final Battle of Ullanor·Three-dimensional Offensive

Ullanor, an orc city on the surface.

It may be a bit inappropriate to call it a "city", because it is different from the modern city with high-rise buildings or the Gothic punk hive city in the traditional impression of humans. It is more like a large settlement composed of a large number of chaotic industrial shantytowns and fart slums. The Orks themselves are an interstellar nomadic race that lives on war, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with calling the city they built a "settlement".

Various buildings are randomly and crowdedly stacked together, fortresses full of gun barrels and weapons factories with chimneys are close together, and in between are twisted streets with sewage flowing and stinking. This extremely unplanned urban settlement seems to reflect the chaotic nature of the Orks.

It is not an easy task to clear a place for the transport ship to land in such a place. The technical sergeants of the Space Marines began violent demolition. The multiple mechanical arms with pliers on the power backpacks swung, clamped the supporting steel pipes and then forcibly pulled them. The iron houses in the shantytown collapsed like a pile of cards. The hot melt weapons and conversion beam weapons in their hands also sprayed wantonly, sweeping down the stacked houses in large areas.

These are the heavy weapons used by the Space Marines to break through the doors when participating in boarding operations or exploring space wrecks. It is simply a waste of resources to use them to deal with these crudely made orc houses. Everything is to build a landing site in the shortest time.

Of course, the most efficient clearing site is the super-heavy tank. The super-heavy tank tracks equipped with a plow blade bulldozer and a chain hammer mine sweeper on the front of the vehicle "rumbled" and soon crushed a flat area in the messy shantytown.

These areas have complex terrain and gullies. From time to time, snot and squiggles emerge from the tunnels filled with garbage and slop. Because the Space Marines landed too quickly, these low-level Ork subspecies did not have time to escape from here.

The Space Marines used flamethrower weapons to sweep over these Ork subspecies, igniting them into small balls of howling fire. These timid, insidious, cunning and brutal green creatures may carry explosives and must be eliminated.

The Space Marines completed the landing operation in just a few hours, but it took a whole day to clean up the remaining Ork creatures in the urban settlement and build a landing site, and also to deal with the counterattack organized temporarily by the surrounding orcs.

At this time, on the leveled landing site.

Dozens of inter-orbital transport ships slowly landed amid the roar of their engines. The flames and strong winds blew dust and garbage everywhere. After the landing gear was stabilized, the rear hatch of the transport ship slowly opened and fell, and a row of knight mechas strode out of the cabin with cross-shaped mechanical claws and stepped onto the ground.

At the feet of the knight mechas, red-robed soldiers wearing cloaks and hoods were also queuing up and walking down the cabin quickly. Behind the transport ship of the Mechanicus, the tall figure of the Warlord-class Titan of the Firebee Legion was looming in the smoke and dust.

Valkyrie transport planes circled in the sky, and the armored forces of the Guards composed of Chimera armored vehicles, Leman Rust tanks and petrified lizard self-propelled artillery lined up and drove out of the city. The soldiers of the Imperial Guard marched in small steps and assembled into several neat squares, quietly listening to the lectures of the political commissars.

Fu Qinghai stood on the top of an orc fortress that served as a temporary field command center and took in all of this.

Beside him, stood a taller and more majestic figure, the Lord of Fire Dragon, Vulkan Vulkan.

"The Mechanicus did not send the Emperor-class Titans and Warmaster-class Titans. Kubik said that Mars no longer has Emperor-class Titans and Warmaster-class Titans, all of which were destroyed in the war. The warriors in front of us are all the main forces of the Firebee Legion currently..."

Fu Qinghai looked into the distance and said lightly:

"I don't believe this set of rhetoric. Based on my understanding of the Mechanicus, the brain of the Mars thinking cluster will inevitably analyze the probability of winning this war. I guess the probability of winning is not high, so the Forge Commander will not put all the troops of Mars into Ullanor, even if you participate in the war."

Fu Qinghai will say bad things about Kubik whenever he has the chance.

After listening to this, Vulkan frowned and asked in confusion:

"There is an old proverb on Nocturne: No lizard's scales can exist without skin. Mars is unwilling to send out all its troops. If the Empire is defeated, how can they guarantee that they can survive the disaster swept by the orcs?"

Fu Qinghai smiled when he heard this.

"As far as I know."

Fu Qinghai said with a hint of sarcasm:

"They have their own way."

Facing the puzzled eyes of the Primarch.

Fu Qinghai gave a hint:

"Just before the departure of the joint fleet, the observers on the battleship Rectification made an accidental discovery: Phobos appeared from one end of the orbit to the other end of Mars within one second. If my observers are not wrong, it means that this satellite of Mars instantly crossed the orbital distance of 13,000 kilometers, which originally took four hours."

Vulkan narrowed his eyes and began to think.

Fu Qinghai continued to tell what he knew:

"Wand Vangrich, the great mentor of the Assassin Court, also confirmed another fact to me: long before Terra noticed the rise of the beast, other founding worlds had come into contact with the battle moon and studied and analyzed a lot of orc technology. I have The reason for doubt is that this includes the teleportation technology that the battle moon does not need to pass through Mandeville Point to directly reach over Terra."

Gene protoplasms react very quickly.

We immediately draw conclusions based on these two facts:

"You mean... Mars wants to run?"

"I can't just guess the subjective ideas of the founding commander."

Fu Qinghai shook his head slightly and said:

"But they do have the objective ability to leave the solar system."

Look at what Qingshan Khan said, it’s not leaking.

Fu Qinghai is actually lying here.

The Suzheng observers did not discover any instantaneous movement or orbital change behavior of Phobos. Even if Mars wants to conduct a planet teleportation experiment, it will not leave such obvious evidence.

But Fu Qinghai did not lie either.

Because Mars is indeed conducting planet teleportation experiments in the original novel, they can teleport small natural satellites like Phobos, but when they try to teleport the battle moon above Terra, they only removed half of them. The satellite, half of which was left broken and disintegrated and fell into Terra's atmosphere, killing millions of ordinary Terra people.

Kubic once told Fu Qinghai that one of the reasons why Mars refused to send troops was worried that destroying the battle moon would cause the battle moon to disintegrate in Terra's orbit, and that the satellite fragments fell to hurt ordinary people on the surface of the Throne World. In the original novel, Mars dismantled the battle moon in order to verify the teleportation technology.

After Fu Qinghai launched a coup and successfully usurped the throne and seized power, the Space Marines took back the control of the battle moon above Terra from Mars, so no second accident disaster occurred in which experimental teleportation technology caused the disintegration of the battle moon. But this does not mean that there is no problem with the casting commander. Fu Qinghai still wants to pour the dirty water on him.

Fu Qinghai wanted to tell Wokan the conclusion that Mars could leave the solar system through teleportation technology, and faced with the threat of wild beasts, they did not intend to survive and perish with the human empire.

After listening to Fu Qinghai's story.

Wokan fell into a moment of silence.

"This was not the case with the Mechanical Divine Church in the past."

The Lord of Fire Dragon finally only sighed.

This was not the case with the human empire in the past.

Fu Qinghai looked into the distance with a speechless look.

At this time, the outer periphery of this unknown orc city settlement that Fu Qinghai temporarily named "Landing Field City", soldiers of the twenty-one imperial guards were building multiple lines of defense with significant efficiency and speed, digging trenches, and laying thunders. area, build temporary ammunition supply warehouses and front-line command posts. The shield wall with piles is quickly connected in front of the trench. This military green roadblock is called the "Aegis Line of Defense", a simple fortification prefabricated in advance, used to quickly build a defense zone in a short period of time.

The landing operation of the Human Alliance was strictly speaking, a small gap was opened on a planet full of orcs, and a small nail was laid. The orcs have not launched a large-scale counterattack yet, but because the landing operation was successful too quickly. It took only a few hours to capture a city settlement near the Gouge Garden. The other orcs on the planet had not yet fully reacted. Once they reacted and began to organize a counterattack, the landing city would immediately fall into a double-team siege of the green ocean. middle.

Therefore, the Imperial Guard is needed to firmly defend this landing site for the human coalition, and prevent the Space Marines and Mechanical Cult, who are responsible for attacking the Gaug Garden, from being cut off from the reinforcements and supplies from orbit, or being hit by the enemy from both sides. Position warfare and trench warfare happen to be the combat methods that most Imperial Guards are best at. In addition to special corps such as Alicia Airborne and Haraconi Falcon, the most training that guard soldiers have received is "hard work". The village fights.”

After the successful landing operation, the Ulanno decisive battle entered the second stage - the direct attack of the Human Resources on the Gouge Garden by the Human Resources, everything was carried out according to the plan of Qingshan Khan.

During this expedition, all four major military systems of the Human Empire went to war, and the division of labor was clear. The Imperial Navy is responsible for cleaning up the orc naval forces in the galaxy and orbital defense forces outside the planet to open up the road for landing operations, while being alert to the orc naval fleets returning from other regions. The Imperial Guard is responsible for consolidating defense and defending the landing city, and facing the army of orcs surrounded by the entire planet. Space Marines and the Mechanical God Cult are responsible for attacking the Gauger Garden and completing the final beheading operation in the plan.

Land in the battlefield city, battlefield command center.

"Scanned images from the track show that the orcs in the Gouge Garden are gathering in our direction."

Mandu Latu pointed to the miniature sand table of the Gouge Garden in the holographic projection, and said, "There are a large number of red dots gathering there."

"We must launch an attack as soon as possible, Aoyama, or the orcs on the entire planet will be fully mobilized."

Posimmond turned to look at Fu Qinghai and reminded him.

"Don't worry."

Fu Qinghai stood among a group of battle leader, supported his hands on the edge of the huge iron table and stared at the projection and shook his head slightly.

"Do you remember the experimental conclusions I told you?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked around at the surrounding commander:

"The more orcs gather, the easier it is for orcs to be eliminated. We are not afraid of orcs continuing to gather. The key to ground combat lies in the nuns of Silence. All tactical plans must be formulated around the nuns of Silence. We need to protect the nuns of Silence until the army of orcs enters the naked eye. Within the range of sight, within this combat range, the soulless power field can be effective.”

The White Scar Battle Commanders nodded after hearing this.

The Nun Silent is indeed a powerful tool to restrain the Oak Orcs, but it does not mean that the Nun Silent can be immune to long-range shells, lasers, missiles and rockets on the battlefield. The range of the soulless power field of most silent nuns is actually a little smaller than the visual distance. Therefore, we must also achieve close combat with the orcs through specific combat plans.

"It is hard to imagine that a final battle that concerns the future fate of the human empire and the Oak Orcs will lead to the protagonists of a group of Forgotten Nuns who were exiled a thousand years ago."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Extreme Warrior Commander Odanas sighed.

“But that’s the truth, we respect the truth.”

Fu Qinghai glanced at Odanas and said lightly.

"This is a gift from the God Emperor."

Posimmond began to express his unique views:

"He gives us a weapon against orcs."

Several commanders present raised their eyebrows when they heard this.

Fu Qinghai didn't want Posimmond to continue talking about his faith, so he turned to look at his servant and asked:

"How long does it take for the mining spacecraft to complete the pulling operation?"

"It is expected to be three hours, Khan."

Lin Yu glanced at the tactical tablet and replied:

"Three hours later, the wreckage entered the descending track."

The prototypes and first aircraft of the three planetary cracking-class mining ships are the famous commercial mining ships in the death space universe - Shicun. When Fu Qinghai first got the Shicun, he thought about the possibility of weaponizing this planetary cracking mining spacecraft war. Of course, Ishimura can be used in war, but the application scope of application scenarios is very narrow.

The main reason is that the planet cracking process is too long.

Taking the earth as an example, if a mining spacecraft cracks a plate as big as the Australian continent, it first needs to establish a series of auxiliary devices around the collection area and lay down gravity anchor cables to connect the nodes, which takes four months. Then, the mining spacecraft uses gravity. The anchor cable tear the crust from the planet's surface to orbital space, which takes another two months.

In other words, it will take at least half a year to crack a crustal plate as big as the Australian continent on Earth, and it also requires the cooperation of ground personnel and mining spacecraft. Local wars on a planet rarely have such a long time to allow a mining spacecraft to operate slowly, and Fu Qinghai and the Tiefutu team have never fought that kind of protracted war for decades.

Therefore, when the first batch of planetary cracking-level mining ships in the world were put into operation, most of them did not choose planets as mining targets. It may take more than ten years to completely crack a planet, but instead chose meteorites or asteroid belts in the galaxy as Target, and also clear the waterway. If you choose meteorites as your target, it will be much faster to operate.

Ulano's orbital space facilities cannot be compared with crustal plates in terms of mass and volume. It does not take several months to pull these large wrecks using gravity anchors, and it does not require a journey from the surface. Pull them into space, just need to change their orbits, and start falling toward the surface after breaking away from the original orbit.

Because the orbital space facilities have a certain initial velocity around the planet's orbit, the process of the orbital space station re-entering the atmosphere is not a straight line perpendicular to the surface, but an inclined parabola. After precise calculations by the technical priests of the Phaeton Army, planetary cracking-class mining ships must pull the wreckage of these orbital facilities at specific angles and speeds before they can accurately fall to the head of the Gouge Garden.

This parabola is the so-called "descending track".

"According to Ulano's gravity acceleration and atmosphere density, after calculations by the priests of Phaeton Technology, after these large orbital facilities are in the descending orbit, they will arrive on the surface and hit the orc's heads in about twenty minutes."

Lin Yu stared at the data on the tactical tablet and said.

"Have the Antai-type general artillery I want completed the deployment?"

Fu Qinghai looked at the sages on Mars again and asked.

“All the engines of the Hundred Fleet are ready.”

Greg Zhukov, the commander of the wise man, replied obediently.

The Baiji fleet is a relatively mysterious organization within the Mechanical Divine Cult. The engine it controls is the famous general cannon. According to the size of the chassis, it can be divided into general cannons and small general cannons (or "Souther General cannons"). The structural principle of the general cannon is actually very simple. It basically installs the Titan weapon of the large Titan on a tracked chassis. So for a casting world, it may be better to directly form a large Titan Legion to create a general artillery.

However, the weapons on the chassis of several general cannons are not large Titan weapons, but relic technology, such as the sonic crusher on the Ulato general cannon, and the giant earthbreaker on the Antaeus general cannon. The latter is the general cannon that Fu Qinghai specifically requested to be deployed on Mars this time. The weapon carried on its chassis is a giant drill, which is the largest drilling vehicle in the human empire, much larger than ordinary drilling vehicles such as the termite-class assault driller and the Hades assault driller.

"After our exploration and analysis of the soil and rock formations, it will take about three hours to use the Antaeus general cannon to build a tunnel from here to the Gogo Garden, Khan."

Without waiting for Qingshan Khan to ask, the ruling sage Greg Zhukov took the initiative to answer the question he wanted to ask.

Fu Qinghai said before.

He wanted the attack to be more three-dimensional.

Instead of attacking Gogo Garden directly from the space orbit, attacking Gogo Garden from the ground has the advantage that due to the curvature of the planet, the ground forces can choose a direction to focus on breakthrough, without having to face the dense and fierce space firepower and layers of void shield arrays of the Orc capital.

But if the attack direction is simply transferred from space to the surface, and the vertical longitudinal attack is replaced by a horizontal horizontal attack, it cannot be called "three-dimensional".

In Fu Qinghai's plan, the human coalition will not give up the space offensive while conducting a ground offensive. At this moment, there are still some space warriors in the fleet, ready to airdrop to Gogo Garden from orbit at any time. The wreckage of large facilities in orbit is the stepping stone for the space offensive.

Use this stepping stone to smash the orcs' top.

At the same time, using a series of assault drilling vehicles such as the Antaeus General Cannon, the human coalition also launched an underground offensive, digging tunnels to bypass the layers of defense lines and fortresses built by the orcs on the surface, and directly reaching the center of the Gogo Garden to achieve a more three-dimensional attack.

Unlike what many people imagine, the tactic of temporarily digging tunnels to attack the city is actually not a covert one - because it will produce obvious vibrations. In ancient times, sieges relied on manpower to dig tunnels, which would produce sounds that could be detected by the defenders in the city, not to mention the huge vibrations and noises generated by the giant drilling vehicles of the Mechanicus. Smarter orcs can even judge the direction of tunnel digging and the location of the tunnel through the surface vibrations, so as to surround and ambush in advance.

Therefore, the drilling vehicles must be carried out simultaneously with the offensive in the sky and on the ground, and the time nodes of the offensive must be strictly controlled, so that the vibrations and noises when the battles on both sides break out can be used to cover up the movements from underground to a certain extent, so as to achieve the effect of attacking by surprise.

In this way, the human coalition launched attacks from three different dimensions at the same time: sky, ground, and underground. This was the "three-dimensional offensive" planned by Fu Qinghai, and it was also another big gift package that Fu Qinghai prepared for the beasts after the landing operation.

Fu Qinghai originally wanted to name this attack on the orc capital "Operation Market Garden", but this name was too easy to remind people of the failed "Operation Market Garden" of the Allied Forces in World War II, which felt a bit unlucky, so he gave up.

"It's almost time."

Fu Qinghai looked up at the timer.

"Let's go now!"

He retracted his gaze and slammed the table to give an order.
