Chapter 630 The battle situation took a turn for the worse
“What?”
Enduring the severe pain in his hand, Hartman opened his eyes wide, trying to see clearly what those red objects were.
But their speed was too fast, so fast that they were just a blurry afterimage.
It wasn’t until one of them stopped and strangled the neck of a fallen soldier with a rope that Hartmann finally looked at them——
They were greenskins riding motorcycles and howling constantly. Wherever they went, there was only death and fire.
Their movements were incredibly fast, and their attacks had superhuman strength. Within a few minutes, they wiped out all the efforts of the 114th Infantry Regiment. The machine gun on the front of the vehicle roared like thunder, destroying the clothes The fragile body of the uniform was blasted into bloody fragments.
Under the impact of these mobile forces, the battlefield was quickly divided into countless pieces.
They especially like to use ropes to drag injured soldiers behind. There are several ropes on the back of each motorcycle, and most of them are tied to the remains that have been worn away until only the upper body skeleton is left.
Such a cruel enemy made Hartman shudder.
"Get in the truck!"
Suddenly, a truck drove to the edge of the trench, and the bearded veteran immediately helped Hartman limp onto the trunk of the truck.
"Sir! Sir! Wait for me!"
The truck started immediately, but Hartman heard a familiar crying voice. He turned around and saw that it was Xie Cha You are trying to run towards the truck.
Behind him, a roaring green motorcycle was approaching.
"Hurry! Shechar! Hurry!"
The truck did not stop, but began to accelerate. Hartman immediately climbed on the back of the car and reached out to the 17-year-old boy.
"Squad leader!"
"Quick! Run hard!"
The boy tried his best to move his legs, and the green motorcycle was getting closer and closer. , Hartman could even see the ugly, grinning face.
When Shechar was still an arm's length away from the truck, Hartman managed to stretch out his arm a little more.
“Grab my hand!”
At the last moment, the boy touched Hartman’s fingertips, but because they were covered in blood, the two sides still could not hold each other. .
“No!!!!!!!!!!!”
Watching the boy fall to the ground, and then the green motorcycle ran over him mercilessly, causing a cloud of blood mist, Hart Man finally couldn't help but burst into tears——
At this moment, the position they were originally in was still burning.
Armageddon time, July 14, after a full week of mobilization, the current governor of Armageddon, Hermann von Strab, assembled all the mobile forces on the main continent , an army of about five million, attacked from the four nest cities around the Ashes Plains, Halesridge, Inver
Nas, Attalus, and Acheron, and launched a campaign aimed at annihilating Offensive campaign for all greenskins at the landing site.
The battle quickly evolved into a disaster from the beginning. Due to the influence of some unknown psychic power, radio communications within the planet Armageddon were almost completely interrupted. At the same time, as the Shadow Season With the arrival of Armageddon, the continent above Armageddon was completely covered in volcanic ash, and orbital support was severely reduced.
Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, there were serious scheduling problems among the four armies that were supposed to attack simultaneously. The Attalus troops were the first to engage the Orcs because they were closest to the landing point.
At first, the Planetary Guard Staff deduced that the number of greenskins would not exceed one million, but in fact, the forces on Attalus encountered more than 10 million greenskins as soon as they opened their eyes.
Although the green skins do not have many weapons and equipment at hand, no green skin has the courage and cunning of the Bonecrusher. It judged the human attack plan very early, so it decided to concentrate its efforts first. Defeat one of the main human forces.
Sure enough, in front of the mighty greenskin army, Attalus's troops only lasted for half a day before completely collapsing. More than 800,000 people were killed. More importantly, a large number of weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the greenskins. in hand.
By July 15th, the main legions in the two hive cities concentrated on the front line had not yet learned that a friendly army had been eliminated. They rushed straight to the greenskin landing point according to the planned plan, but were hit. Following the enemy's strategy of luring them deeper, they were eventually pinched from three directions by the greenskins with superior strength
At this time, the somewhat panicked planet governor Hermann von Strab immediately ordered the attack to stop, and all the troops moved closer to each other and defended on the spot.
But it later proved that this was a very fatal decision. If the retreat had been ordered at that time, some of these troops could have withdrawn.
On the night of July 15th, the Bonebreaker seized the opportunity and bit the troops in the Acheron nest far away from the friendly forces. However, he did not directly destroy this army, but moved this military area Drive towards the other two groups of troops who have already formed a group.
On the morning of July 16, the remaining troops of Acheron finally reunited with the friendly forces, but their morale was completely defeated. The greenskins followed and pursued them all the way, just like wolves driving sheep, constantly feeding them After bloodletting, the journey of only eighty kilometers was filled with corpses.
By July 17th, the Bonecrushers successfully pinned the enemy to the flat Ash Plains, with more than three million human troops surrounded. The Biker Boys and their teams surrounded the enemy and cut off supply lines. .
Then the greenskins tightened the encirclement. They used captured human artillery to bombard the panicked defenders in the shrinking encirclement, and mercilessly swept away all moving creatures that tried to break through with firepower.
Up to this point, the Planet Governor Hermann von Strab still had illusions. He asked the troops in the encirclement to continue to hold on, and threatened to dispatch more troops to give the greenskins A center blooms.
But the facts once again proved that he was talking big words.
The surrounded human forces relied on fortifications, artillery, and limited orbital bombing to persist for three days. At dawn on July 21, they launched a breakout operation.
The strange thing is that this breakout went extremely smoothly. The greenskins only put up a little resistance and let them go.
But just when the human soldiers were ready to run back, an even greater disaster struck.
The greenskins actually used the wreckage of their starships to piece together more than a dozen giant war machines comparable to human Titans. The breakout troops were intercepted and killed halfway, and the entire chain of command was completely shattered after half a day of fierce fighting. .
A terrible escape journey begins.
The soldiers began to flee in an unorganized manner, and behind them were the laughing green motorcycles. They were treated as prey and played with, and how long they could survive depended entirely on whether the beasts behind them were tired of it.
In the end, by the evening of July 25, only a few thousand men and a small amount of armor from the attacking army were able to escape back to the hive. More than five million Armageddon men put their final curse and final Every breath was left on the blood-stained plain - they were all veteran elites of the local guard, which also included several Astra Militarum infantry regiments, and a Mechanicum skitarii.
As a result of this disastrous battle, all mobile forces on the main continent of Armageddon were wiped out. In addition to the loss of personnel, almost all armored vehicles and heavy weapons were lost, and most of these weapons fell to the Green Army. The leather hands greatly enhance their ability to attack difficulties
.
After learning that the main force had been wiped out, the Planet Governor flew to the Tartarus hive in the subcontinent overnight and ordered all the hives in the main continent to stand firm and clear the fields, waiting for help.
The war situation at Armageddon began to deteriorate at an alarming rate——
