Chapter 2012 Going the opposite direction
“Is the enemy’s offensive so fierce?”
The situation in the battle report is surprising. The enemy’s first wave of counterattack was fast and fierce, and the counterattack troops There were a large number of Chaos Space Marines, and many troops were forced to abandon their initial positions and retreat to the second line of defense. However, the red line drawn in the battle zone was 40 kilometers. If the enemy retreated further, they could directly attack the landing site, resulting in a large number of unnecessary casualties for subsequent landing troops.
Now the Abu Bakari 310th Infantry Regiment has become the only unit in the nearby defense area to hold its position. Although there are other units on their sides and rear to assist in the defense, they have undoubtedly become the front end of a protrusion. , it is very easy to attract the enemy's attention.
The order from above is for them to stay where they are, and troops will soon come to replace them.
But Arni felt that things were not that simple. After experiencing the fallout of the letter incident, he realized that there might be many people in the war zone who wanted him dead, and the so-called replacement troops might not be able to come on time.
At this time, one of his close servants put forward an opinion.
"Master, this is a good opportunity. It is a perfect stage created by heaven. Now everyone is retreating. We are the only ones who are standing in the front. As long as we hold on, the rumors about you will stop. Break! The whole war zone will be visible by then."
But Arni still has concerns. After all, he has been leading these soldiers for a long time.
“But the soldiers continue to fight hard, I’m worried”
"Young master, you can recruit as many soldiers as you want. There are still many reserve recruits on the ship. These soldiers will become nothing more than soldiers after being fought for a long time. The tactics this time were very successful. We can use them later. Do this, let the cannon fodder stay on the position to attract fire, and the elite wait in the rear, wait for the enemy's attack power to subside, and then go up to counterattack!"
"Well"
Arni didn't speak at that time! Without avoiding Ouranios, the new battalion commander listened to everything with no expression on his face. He waited for the other party to finish speaking, and suddenly said:
“Can’t you tell?”
“What?”
Arnie turned his head in surprise.
Olanios just spat on the ground vulgarly. This move made Arni frown in disdain.
“This landing site has been a trap from the beginning. For such an important weapons factory, the Red Pirates will definitely treat it as their lifeblood. But look at the landing troops. They are either cannon fodder or a large group of troops. There are only a few main forces of the Astra Militarum among the regiments of new recruits."
After hearing this, Arni picked up the data pad and flipped through it, and found that this was indeed the case. He had not really noticed before that the first batch of people landed. The troops are basically second-line or even third-line cannon fodder regiments. No wonder it is so easy to retreat again and again. It is not just the Chaos Space Marines.
“Whose trap?”
"Who knows, someone on the top who doesn't take human life seriously is very smart and uses a lot of cannon fodder to contain the main force of the Red Pirates. As long as they are still breathing and standing here, the Red Pirates will A large number of troops have to be mobilized to protect their key weapons factories, so that there will not be so much resistance to landings in other areas."
Olanios smiled nervously.
“So it’s best that we don’t count on any reinforcements. No one will come in 10 hours.”
Arni was silent for a moment. He was not a fool. He would immediately respond to what the other party said. Understood, after hesitating for a moment, he whispered:
“Should I withdraw?”
"Master, if you retreat like this, it will be used by those who want to attack you. Besides, we have just sent the good news."
Frowning, Arni took a few steps back and forth in the newly rebuilt headquarters. , finally looked at Ouranios. For some reason, he felt that this special guy might have a solution. "What do you think?"
"If we retreat like this, there will definitely be trouble from above, but if we just wait for the next wave of enemies to come, our few people are not enough to compensate, and we have already lost. Have you killed thousands of brothers?”
Arni nodded, the entire regiment has indeed suffered thousands of casualties in less than an hour.
"The Red Pirates will definitely send space warriors. By then there will be dozens or even hundreds of them. We can't stop them. There is a way now."
Olanios walked by because he was missing one. He picked up the map that was buried in the soil, then shook it and spread it on the table.
"It depends on whether you dare to bet, Captain."
"What? Which way?"
Olanios's hand flicked on the map. After a while, Arni's eyes suddenly widened.
What the other party means is——
Forward!
"豼说"
"There used to be a fortress there, but it is gone now, and this place has just been bombed from orbit. The Red Pirates' troops will definitely not dare to bet on whether there will be a second time. , so there is a high probability that they will go around and they will counterattack across the board. It is hard to say how many troops will be left in the rear. It is unknown, but you can bet. If the Red Pirates do not leave many troops, then the distance from our place to the weapons foundry is about three meters. From 100 kilometers to 400 kilometers, the advantage of our group is that there are many vehicles, there are no rivers in the middle, and the orbital bombing has just blown a gap in the mountains. If we march to the extreme, we can get there in about three or four hours. "
This plan is very bold, very bold, and can even be called a suicide operation in a sense. An unknown cannon fodder group will raid a heavily guarded ordnance factory alone, surrounded by hundreds of thousands or millions of people. 's defenders.
However, Arni saw the shining moment when he created miracles of war like the Sun Lord. Every one of those legendary generals in history had made earth-shattering gambles, and it was those near-death decisions that finally allowed them to stay famous. history.
If he dares to come to the battlefield, he is not afraid of gambling!
Arnie slammed his fist on the table hard, his arms trembling slightly with excitement. For him, this was much more exciting than sleeping with a woman.
“Okay! Let’s do it!”
“There is one more question.”
Ouranios immediately poured cold water on the other party.
“During this process, the enemy only needs one aircraft to immediately detect our movements, so we must ensure that the sky is clean during the march.”
Arney thought for a while and said :
“I have a friend in the Naval Air Force, he may be able to help me.”
As for what to do after occupying the ordnance factory, Arni has not even thought about it. Because all his thoughts are now focused on how to make this huge gamble using the lives of the entire group as chips.
Soon, the order was conveyed, and the entire army was ready to set off in 20 minutes. The wounded and dead were transported to the rear, and artillery and other equipment that was not easy to carry were dragged away or directly blown up. Everyone got on trucks and armored vehicles, but In order to ensure morale, Arni ordered not to tell the soldiers their true destination. They just thought that there were troops coming to change the defense. They were going to the new station to repair. Everyone was ordered to stay in the car and did not know that they were passing by. bombing zone.
Only a few officers knew that the entire regiment was heading straight to the ordnance factory!
