Chapter 187 Attack Plan
Malakin looked away from the holographic image and looked at the leader of the Ascetic Chapter.
“So you don’t recommend doing this?”
“Before, I was worried about the greenskin reinforcements from outside the system. Now they have been destroyed, but another problem has come.”
Mazhar muttered:
"In the previous naval battles, each fleet suffered heavy losses. There are very few warships capable of carrying out orbital bombardment. The existing firepower may not be able to defeat it in a few months."
According to post-war statistics, on the asteroid After the naval battle, the entire expedition fleet lost nearly 40% of its warships, of which more than 50% of the light warships were lost, and the heavy warships also had a loss rate of nearly 30%, not including the loss of the transport fleet.
At least half of the surviving battleships, including the Starfire, were seriously damaged and had to be withdrawn from the battle order for repairs.
Currently, the only ones capable of carrying out orbital bombing missions are the Mother of Tears, the Fire of Punishment, and a few heavy cruisers.
"We now have three battle groups, with a combined strength of nearly a thousand warriors. We can attack the fortress and chop off the head of the beast."
Malakin thought it might not be that complicated.
“It’s a good idea to hit the point directly and kill with one blow.”
Mazhar said calmly:
“But please take a closer look at this larger picture. Picture it."
The projection shrank again. Within a few kilometers of the fortress wall, the ground was covered with dense trenches and shacks, with an average of thousands of trenches per square kilometer.
As Magyar continued to reduce the scale of the image, more and more fortresses and fortresses rolled into view, some of which were even larger than the warlord's fortresses.
“This is the most highly militarized area on the entire planet. It is not difficult to clear a way into the fortress, but once we send troops, they will be surrounded by layers of siege... on a large scale. The greenskins are really difficult to deal with, so I suggest you proceed with caution."
Soshiyang raised his eyebrows.
“So we are just waiting here for the Tribunal’s extermination fleet?”
Mazar shook his head.
"They won't come. There is some emergency in Chicano, and the Inquisition fleet went to deal with it."
"In this case..."
After Soshiyang thought for a moment, Another implemented plan came to mind.
“In the previous operation to destroy Gyges, the Imperial Navy adopted a plan, which was to push the asteroid in orbit out of orbit and use it to destroy the green-skinned city.”
Hearing this, the eyes of the other two chapter leaders suddenly lit up.
"Brother Soshyan, do you mean to push Fulun's satellite to the ground?"
Soshyan nodded.
After thinking for a while, Mazhar asked his question.
“But satellites are no more massive than asteroid fragments. They are much more massive. It is not easy to push them out of orbit and smash them into the intended target. It may require It will take months."
"Yes, but there are five satellites in Fron's orbit and we only need to push one of them."
"I'm afraid a satellite cannot completely erase the green skins above."
"We don't have to kill all the aliens above at once."
Soshiyang smiled slightly.
“As long as the enemy chieftain is beheaded, the rest will be a ragtag group of people who will no longer be able to pose an effective threat in a short period of time. The rest of the cleanup work can be left to the brothers of the Weeper.”
< br>Hearing what he said, Mazhar was stunned for a second, and then looked at Malakin thoughtfully.
Malakin also heard the hint of collect, but he hesitated.
"This——"
"Okay, there is no need to worry too much, you are serving the emperor wherever you are, brother Malakin." Soshyan patted the other party's shoulder. , Malakin nodded silently, acquiescing to this plan.
Then, Soshyan smiled at Mazar and cut the image in front of him to a fixed state. Apart from the fortress in the center, he could also see three large large ones around it. defensive position.
"My rough tactical plan is to send all the Astra Militarum to the east and establish a defensive line on our right flank to block any enemy forces supporting the fortress, the Lamenters' battle brothers and our mortal auxiliaries. The troops landed in the north, with the goal of destroying the engine set that powers the shield, causing their shield to lose power and ensuring that we can carry out precise orbital strikes. Our regiment and the battle robot formation landed from the west of the fortress and captured the surrounding areas. The smaller fortress occupied the surrounding passages and completely cut off the connection between the reinforcements and the fortress. "
"What about this fortress?"
Magyar asked again.
"Of course it is yours, Lord Magyar."
Soshyan gave an affirmative reply.
"If you wish so, the honor of victory will be yours."
"This is a good plan."
Lord Magyar said with a smile, his voice very soft.
“That’s it.”
Another hour later, the three chapter leaders finally ended the meeting and said goodbye.
The fleet once again distanced itself. The less damaged ships will go to the temporary dock in Gages for repairs. The more seriously damaged warships must immediately go to the star system and go to nearby forging worlds or worlds with higher industrial levels for long-term repairs. Maintenance - The Starfire should be the latter, but since the Chapter must participate in subsequent battles, it can only go to Gages for simple repairs and reinforcements first.
The fleet, whose strength is relatively well preserved, heads to the orbit of the main star of Fulun.
At present, a strong blockade has been established throughout the entire orbit, and small naval ships are swimming in the air, patrolling back and forth between the pole of Furun and the equator. ,
Although the general attack will be launched in a month, this does not mean that the greenskins will be idle during this period.
The Fire of Punishment organized the remaining fleet, and the cannons that had been aimed at enemy ships were recalibrated. This time their targets were the shields covering the planet's surface.
Along with the falling cannonballs, clanging sounds echoed in the starry sky.
After the bombing began, Malakin returned to the bridge.
At this time, the Holy Blood Priest from the battle group walked in, also fully armed, but his steps seemed a bit heavy and slow.
He stared at his Chapter Master sitting on the command throne, and then asked.
“What was the result?”
"Soshyan is a good man. He does not blame us and makes a new battle plan."
The priest folded his arms and leaned against the pillar next to him.
"You seem to admire him."
"That's right."
Malakin grinned.
"I admire him very much. He is very young, but he has an unusual bearing."
He cast a thoughtful look at the pastor.
“Not only an excellent warrior, but also an excellent diplomat.”
“Your description reminds me of that person.”
Hearing this, Malakin's whole body suddenly froze.
Then the priest straightened up and whispered the cursed name.
"Luft Huron."
