Chapter 133, Global Strategy Timetable
As the commander, Perbov was riding in the 'Listener' command vehicle, not far from the frontline battlefield.
The enemy doesn't have any long-range firepower, so he's not too afraid.
The entire progress of the war did not exceed his expectations. The front formed by the marauders was quickly destroyed with the coordination of infantry and artillery. The subsequent troops invested also suffered a head-on attack under the coordination of infantry and tanks.
Although the number of enemies is far greater than that of his subordinates, at this point, the battle is far from manpower, but firepower.
In terms of firepower, these marauders couldn't compare with his heavily armored battalion, which was the first to form an army. Just two dismounted motorcycle companies, supported by an artillery support company and a tank company, defeated this group of marauders head-on.
The line of defense can be penetrated by a poke, and broken by a counterattack. This is the true portrayal of those looters.
There is no suspense about winning this battle.
The only thing left to do is to expand the results.
Of course, Purbov has not forgotten that his mission is not just to defeat this group of enemies. He wanted to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation and truly eliminate these gangsters who threatened the trade routes and the surrounding settlements.
Killing everyone, or capturing most of the people, are options.
Of course, if they are dead, there will be no more thieves; for those who are not dead, some of the evildoers will be picked out and killed, and the rest will be sentenced to five or ten years of hard labor, and thrown into the waste cave society to work as coolies in mining, or thrown into the alien forest. It’s okay to cut down trees to make building materials and synthetic starch raw materials.
In order to effectively expand the results of the battle, the two mechanized infantry companies cruising in the other direction also received orders and began to launch an attack.
In fact, the two most powerful companies in his combined battalion are the two mechanized infantry companies, not the tank companies.
Those captured Challenger tanks were only local products and were imported from a heavy industry group in the west called Blackbird. It is said that Blackbird Heavy Industry was once a part of the alliance. It was a heavy industrial center established with imperial assistance during the governor's period. It was located further west than the Western Desert.
However, during the second-generation governor period, they basically broke away from the alliance, and now they have no contact except business. Sending orders from the alliance is like farting.
It is precisely because of this that the seventy tanks in the old alliance legion were left over from a long time ago, and they are probably at least ten years old.
Compared with the 'Wanderer V', an infantry fighting vehicle widely equipped in the Empire's main Imperial Army, except for the tank gun, it is really useless.
Compared with armor, it is true that infantry fighting vehicles have thin skin and meat. It is true that the armor plate is much thinner than that of the Challenger tank, but it can be thin while still maintaining better defensive performance. How does this make sense? go?
In addition to maneuverability, the Edifier V has excellent off-road performance, whether it is climbing hills or running on muddy ground, it is just a matter of going faster or slower. The 'Challenger' tank has to travel on flat terrain. If the ground is too bad, it will lie down for you every minute.
When it comes to speed, tanks and armored vehicles are even more incomparable.
Even if we really talk about firepower, the 40mm double-barreled cannon is indeed not as powerful as the 76mm smoothbore cannon, but it can't hold up to the much faster rate of fire. Used as infantry support equipment, the performance is actually better.
When the two mechanized infantry companies launched their attack, the marauders had no chance of making a splash.
The defensive positions they had set up were beaten to pieces by machine guns and bolt machine guns. The infantry squads who followed closely and got out of their vehicles to fight easily captured one position after another.
Their assault speed was very fast, and after piercing the butt of Sanchi Town, they also charged towards the rear of the frontal battlefield.
Logically speaking, the situation should not go so smoothly. We have fought several battles with these plunderers, but they have not yet become so unbearable. When their butts were dug out, they should have taken some reaction measures. Although the result was already determined, they would have to cause some trouble to the two assaulting mechatronics companies.
But no.
These marauders seemed to have lost their command, appearing dull, rigid and chaotic.
This made Purbeuf a little confused.
I don't have an elite special force or anything like that to carry out beheading operations or cut off command communications? Why are these people like this?
But soon, he figured out the key.
Is it possible that the enemy chief has escaped?
It’s really possible!
It is probably unrealistic to expect the leader of this group of plunderers to fight to the death.
Reconnecting with the previous statement from Morgan's gang, they pretended to surrender but then rebelled. To a large extent, it was the leader who coerced the members with his own selfish desires. If those low-level plunderers were really given a chance to live a stable life, how could they refuse to do so?
After thinking about this, he had another idea.
Drive the battalion headquarters forward, including those communication vehicles.
Immediately afterwards, the loudspeaker in the army began to sound:
"Your leader has fled!"
"Put down your weapons, surrender without killing!"
Two short sentences were continuously transmitted to the ears of the Anxi looters through the loudspeakers, mixed with fierce artillery fire. What they saw in front of them were dozens of steel behemoths...
They really couldn't stand it anymore.
What's more, the previous statement of 'the leader fled' might be true.
It is true that many middle-level leaders have not received instructions from the leader Terrell in the rear for a long time. Even if they asked back, they still had no news. Communication in the battlefield was blocked by the 'listeners' who advanced forward, and the intercom was full of noise. Those who were sent back to do human questioning either simply left and never came back. It is not known whether they died on the road or ran away, or else they were nowhere to be found. I looked around in confusion and found nothing, so I came back in confusion.
Under such circumstances, it is natural that a large number of looters, with leaders at all levels taking the lead, surrendered.
The war should be almost over by now.
However, a piece of news soon made Purbeuf stop laughing.
He received intelligence from the front line that the soldiers saw dozens of green-skinned orcs on the battlefield.
He immediately thought of the tribe of raiders called the 'Prisoners' who had surrounded Broken Hole Society and almost killed them.
When that battle was fought, he had not yet served as a soldier and had not seen it with his own eyes. But the relevant information has been compiled and he has studied it; he also heard some about it when communicating with Captain Yan Fangxu - now a colonel.
If green-skinned orcs of that level really appeared, or if there were dozens of them, there would be big trouble.
For such a monster, the rifles or even machine guns in the hands of ordinary soldiers would be difficult to cause effective damage. The one outside the Broken Hole Society was said to have been shot dead by the governor's personal guard team with a more powerful electromagnetic rifle, and the governor himself even helped.
The soldiers under his command did not have such powerful individual weapons to use.
According to the firepower in the hands of the soldiers, I am afraid that only rocket launchers, machine guns and bolt guns on armored vehicles can achieve effective killing.
But those monsters have very strong destructive power, enough to tear human bodies apart. Not to mention, they may have some kind of powerful individual firearms in their hands.
Purbov was immediately ready to give an order, telling the frontline soldiers not to attack them forcefully when encountering such an enemy, but to look for a "Rambler" infantry fighting vehicle nearby and rely on vehicle-borne firepower to fight. If there are really no enemies nearby, you will have to rely on the firepower team and use individual rocket launchers to destroy the enemies.
At the same time, he was mentally prepared for the troops to suffer many casualties.
"A great victory must be met by such an accident!"
He cursed in his mind.
If you have information and preparations in advance, it might be okay. The troops are pursuing the victory, expanding the results, and even in the process of recruiting the enemy to surrender, and suddenly encounter such an enemy, casualties are almost inevitable.
However, just when he was worried, a new frontline battle report was delivered.
After listening to the report, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
is good news.
On the one hand, the enemy's preparations seemed hasty. When the green-skinned orcs appeared, they were mainly in the marauder formation. And they don't seem to have any good ability to control those monsters. After the orcs appeared, they attacked all the surrounding humans indiscriminately. This also caused the main casualties to be borne by the looters themselves.
Another good news is that those green-skinned orcs are far less powerful than Perbov thought.
Their ability to withstand damage is indeed very exaggerated, but it is not to the point where ordinary firearms are completely incapable of hitting them. Even after taking dozens of rounds of bullets, he can still be killed. The most important thing is that they have no brains and often rush out recklessly. The thermal weapons they use are also owned by the marauders themselves, and their power is average. In this short period of time, there were indeed many reports of casualties coming through, and there were even cases where entire teams were wiped out. But similarly, a large number of green-skinned orcs were killed.
Especially after the infantry fighting vehicles entered the scene and performed special cleaning tasks, the situation stabilized again.
More than half an hour later, the fighting on the main battlefield had completely subsided.
The green-skinned orcs were all killed, and most of the remaining marauders surrendered, with only a few scattered ones escaping. The 'Ranger' motorcycles and some infantry fighting vehicles have already driven out, and the chase has begun in the plain area.
It is estimated that the pursuit mission will last for a day or two. If the plunderer is finally able to escape, it is estimated that it will be good if it can exceed 100.
After the basic battle was over, Purbeuf went to the front line of the battle in person and saw the bodies of the green-skinned orcs.
No more, no less, eighty in total. Their appearance caused the casualties of approximately twenty-seven soldiers.
Purbov let out a long sigh. He felt very sorry for the casualties of his soldiers, but he also understood the principle of not being in charge of soldiers.
In the end, he could only order:
"Burn the bodies of these green-skinned monsters. Be sure to burn them completely."
……
[Slightly advantaged, obtained 347 points of gift]
[154 losses, 2772 destroyed, 2468 captured]
[1st Quenching Brigade (1st Combined Battalion): 154 losses, 2772 wiped out]
After the chase was over, Gu Hang received the belated victory statistics in the system.
Before that, Purbeuf's battle report arrived first.
The number of casualties and prisoners was about the same, but the number of kills was a little different. After all, Purbov had to clean up the battlefield and determine the specific results of the battle by interviewing the prisoners and cleaning up the corpses. Some are missing, some cannot be found, some whose bodies cannot be put together after being bombarded by cannons, some who are buried under the rubble and cannot be dug out for a while...
Under various circumstances, it is normal for the numbers to be different from those given by the system.
The benefits from this wave of gifts were pretty good, but relatively speaking, Gu Hang was more concerned about the green-skinned orcs mentioned in the intelligence.
If these 'cosmic cancers' were allowed to develop on Raging Owl, it would really be the end of the world. This is a race that can seriously start a war that sweeps across multiple galaxies.
In fact, Gu Hang had already been wary of this when he met a human who drank medicine and turned into a green-skinned person outside the Wasted Dong Society. However, the hundreds of guns and base areas under his command were not considered strong before, so he really didn't have the energy to solve that problem first.
But now, he felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer.
What's more, judging from the recent situation, this group of greenskins seems to have a tendency to grow further.
This is supported by two aspects of intelligence.
First, this is what happened to Purbeuf.
The second one came from Garbage Town.
Gu Hang had already made arrangements in Junk Town, an important source of raw materials. Denison Henry then imported a large number of high-quality arms and body armor from Jundong District to Junk Town, and sold alloy plastic steel to Fuxing City and then from Fuxing City. The business route of buying food to Junk Town has really made a lot of money in the past month or two.
Although the trade route at the back was suspended for a few days due to wars and disasters, it quickly recovered after the war. He himself even held a consultant position in the New Alliance Ministry of Commerce, responsible for the import of raw materials and the sale of finished products.
And he has recently increased his purchase of arms. The weapons and equipment left over from the old alliance legions that were about to be eliminated were not yet sent to the Qinggu area according to Oceana's idea of arms sales. Many of them were sold to Junk Town.
Why does Junk Town suddenly need so many arms and excellent body armor?
They even wanted to further strengthen and thicken the plastic steel bulletproof insert plate that was already very strong and could not be penetrated by many ordinary bullets!
That's to fight the greenskins.
The number of greenskins in the ruins of the tower is much higher this year than in previous years, which has seriously threatened the survival of the garbage town that collects waste from the ruins of the tower.
We can no longer ignore this matter.
Tomorrow, Henry Dennison will come to Fuxing City, and Gu Hang will meet with him in person to decide what to do with matters in Garbage Town.
That was actually the largest settlement in the direction that Perbeuf's battalion swept.
There are three continents in the Raging Owl Star, not to mention the other two continents that once had rich spiritual energy fields. They were the main battlefields of the apocalyptic war a hundred years ago, and they were also the most completely destroyed places. Basically, it can As a completely uninhabited wasteland, the waste energy storm envelopes it all day long.
The main continent they are currently on can be roughly divided into six regions.
With Fuxing City as the center, this area is a thousand kilometers long and wide from north to south and east to west. By convention, it will be designated as the central area, which is the area directly controlled by the alliance government in its heyday in the past.
There are about five million people living here, one million of whom are in Fuxing City.
Nearly two thousand kilometers further east from the eastern border of the central region, it is called the Tower Group area. It was the location of the most prosperous urban agglomeration in the pre-war era. A large number of super cities were dotted densely, and a developed road network linked many cities.
Of course, the current tower area is just a large area of urban ruins.
There must be about five million people making a living in the ruins of those cities - it's just an imaginary number.
Five or six hundred kilometers south from the central area, or a thousand kilometers south from the Taqun area along the eastern coastline, is a peninsula that is obviously condensed and faces the sea on three sides, called the Qinggu area. This name has been passed down since before the war. It is also the place on the entire continent that was least damaged by the war. It was also a grain-producing area with a population of about 15 million people.
Six hundred kilometers north, the central region enters a cold region. It was once a center of heavy industry, but now it is also an area mixed with ruins and wilderness. It has the smallest population, about three million people.
Going west from the central region, also about 500 to 600 kilometers away, you will enter the 2,000-kilometer-long Western Desert region. People there survive on sporadic oases and pre-war three-dimensional planting bases under the oases, with a population of about five million. , but the grain output is large and the export volume is large.
Further west, past the Western Desert region, is the heavy industry area, which was also a former industrial center. In other words, the heavy industry in cold areas was spread northward from the heavy industry area. There is a very big force there - the Blackbird Heavy Industry Group, which was fully supported by the first generation of governors, but quickly separated from the alliance during the second generation of governors, and even fought a war across the Western Desert region.
Most of the grain exported from the Western Desert region is sent westward to heavy industry areas.
This is the overall pattern of the entire main continent of Raging Owl Star.
Gu Hang's current plan is to take Fuxing City as the center, completely control the entire central area of the main continent, take care of these five million people, and then wait for opportunities to advance to the east and south, especially the most populous Qinggu area, which is the most important.
He set a time limit of half a year to take control of the central area; he had to complete the offensive in the Qinggu area and the Taqun area within half a year.
In this way, he will have a population of more than 20 million under his command, and will have control over important grain production bases and industrial raw material bases. Together with this, he will develop individual personalities through systematic black box technology from Fuxing City and Weixing City. One year, you can expect to pay taxes.
After all, the discount he received was only one quarter of the standard amount required to pay the first tax.
Of course, this is a guarantee. In fact, according to the practice in previous years, people from the Western Desert, heavy industry areas, and cold areas will also send their tax payable when the deadline comes - although it is far from full.
But if they pay more, Gu Hang's production pressure will be less, and he can keep more on hand.
After getting over the first tax problem, in two more years, he can plan for another two years to control the world, and then be able to deal with the first complete tax in four years.
According to this timetable, his expansion plan cannot be stopped. Garbage Town is also a place that needs to be taken down in the near future and cannot be delayed.
