Chapter 163, Fleet Warden
It makes a lot of sense for Genie Kuangya to personally lead his most elite combat boys to join the Quintet and personally participate in the battle.
The sudden appearance of the 'Quintet' suddenly turned the battle in which they were sure of victory into an extreme disadvantage. The casualties caused by the sneak attack on a destroyer and a frigate directly tilted the balance of victory towards the opponent.
In the subsequent naval battle, the Quintet showed strong firepower and strong defense.
If the bombardment continues like this, there will be more danger than danger.
If you want to win, you have to think of other ways.
You can give up charging the energy shield, overload the firepower system, and hope that the entire fleet will carry out a concentrated and unrestrained firepower attack to achieve key results.
You can also use the so-called 'hunting swarm tactics', which use excellent ship maneuverability and larger numbers to spread out and conduct three-dimensional turning operations to avoid maintaining a relatively balanced speed with the Quintet, and instead use instantaneous acceleration and deceleration. This method allows the relative speeds of both sides to produce large and frequent changes, reducing the amount of firepower that can be fired in advance and accurately locked.
Or, it's like what the greenskin fleet is doing now, the so-called 'approach tactics', rushing under fire, rushing to a position close to the face, and firing at full speed at close range, with no room for evasion and no chance of interception. , most of the firepower has to be carried hard, and the battle is who has the strongest ships and the most powerful guns.
However... there may seem to be many options, but very few are actually implementable.
‘Hunting herd tactics’ are not suitable for the greenskin fleet. To execute the "hunting swarm tactics" well, you need strong ship maneuverability, and you also need to have more precise firepower. Green-skinned battleships are generally not suitable for this. They have strong firepower but are not accurate enough; they are fast but not flexible enough.
Humans relatively like this tactic. The ones who like to use this kind of "hunting group tactics" the most are those who call themselves the Spirit Tribe. Kuang Ya hated opponents like that the most. He couldn't catch up, couldn't hit, and was beaten around in vain. But as long as he took the opportunity to fight hard, he would have decisive results.
As for the 'close tactics', that's what the greenskins are doing. What's even crazier about them is that before Kuangya left his flagship to join the gang, the last order he left was to ask the fleet to turn off the power, turn off the energy protection, overload the firepower system, and blast it with all its strength after approaching. Quintet number'.
But looking at the current situation, they may not be able to charge forward, and they may be hit by who knows how many ships along the way. For those who can rush in, the overall firepower and protection may not be as strong as that of the Quintet.
In order to make the crazy plan of close-in tactics and full firepower successful, he personally led people to join the gang.
Although he is the fleet commander, based on the characteristics of the green skin, no matter what group it is, the person who can be the boss and leader must be the most powerful one among them.
There is no doubt that Gene Kuangya is the same.
Of course, he would also be worried that if during the attack, before the landing module had time to enter Xiami's ship, interception firepower would be destroyed.
This is very possible. Even if a lot of decoy cabins are invested and a lot of power is used to camouflage and silence the landing cabin so that it is not easy to be locked, these cannot be 100% guaranteed.
However, now that he has successfully boarded the ship, the remaining problems are simple.
Among those human shrimps, who is his opponent?
In his past fighting career, he had killed countless shrimps, including some big guys wearing cans among the shrimps, which he also hacked to death.
Those big guys wearing yellow cans left a deep impression on him. He had to admit that those guys were very powerful, but unfortunately, he and his men won in the end.
And it was with that feat and that fierce battle that he became bigger, greener, and stronger, and also gained the favor of the leader of the Iron Teeth clan, the warlord Kuro Iron Teeth. Served as the commander of the 10th Plunder Fleet.
And today, in this ship, we can't have a bunch of big guys with shrimp cans jumping out, right?
Without that kind of powerful thing, he is confident that under his leadership, his most elite troops, even if they are small in number, will definitely be able to kill through the entire starship with overwhelming force.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
After boarding the ship, he almost single-handedly eliminated a group of marines on the Quintet, and then destroyed a Kuangya that defended the laser cannon. He led his elite troops and began to build the core area inside. Start the assault.
It’s not that this backbone has never encountered obstacles.
On the contrary, those who came to intercept him were the most elite troops on the Quintet.
The Quintet can mobilize a maximum of 30,000 armed forces, of which 10,000 are standing marines. This is a group of T4-level troops with good weapons and equipment. They even look down upon the G-series live ammunition rifles. They use either L-series laser rifles or HS-series electromagnetic rifles.
After realizing that they were about to be attacked by elite green-skinned troops, the commander of the Marine Corps had already ordered the most elite troops under his command to join the battle with the most sophisticated weapons.
The two most important weapons are the Rambler combat vehicle and the Foxhound-class infantry fighter.
I won’t talk about the former. The reason why it is not equipped with larger vehicles than the Walker tank, such as the Lion tank, is because the combat environment inside the starship does not allow the Lion to drive everywhere. Although the Rambler is quite big, it is still two sizes smaller than the heavy tank. It can still run on many main roads inside the starship.
As for the latter, he is essentially a 'person', a servitor, and a product of the Mechanicus. During the mechanical transformation, in addition to removing part of the brain and turning it into a servitor that only obeyed orders, it also underwent extremely large body modifications. From the outside, it no longer looks like a human being. Almost the entire body has been mechanized. Its shape is like a half-standing hound. Its legs are purely mechanical recurved knee structures. The head structure that houses the brain is shaped like Like dogs, a large number of sensors are integrated.
Its overall size is more than two meters high, equipped with heavy machine guns, and has hard ceramic armor. Even if a Space Marine comes, it will take some effort to dismantle it.
It is a very precious product of the Mechanicus, and there are only one hundred and fifty of them on the entire starship.
Half an hour after Genie Kuangya advanced inward, the first batch of elites assembled by the Marines consisted of eighty Foxhounds and thirty Ramblers armored vehicles, plus more than a thousand Marines, plus two thousand armed sailors.
As a result, their defense line was penetrated by a wave of Kuangya.
The rocket in his hand seemed to be blessed by some mysterious power. It was extremely accurate and even had a certain tracking effect. There is also a melta cannon above his left shoulder. His firepower alone is already maxed out.
Moreover, he was not fighting alone. During the process of advancing all the way, many greenskins who landed from other places instinctively gathered over after smelling the smell of the boss. Now, the number of greenskins following Kuangya has exceeded a thousand.
Moreover, the green-skinned boys following him were elite. Not only are each of them particularly tall among the greenskins, they also have powerful armor, larger-caliber and more violent firearms, and they also carry enough explosives.
What's more, compared to the small infantry combat mechas, the green-skinned murder cans and the larger death cans are not weak.
Using the Kuangfang Warlord as their arrow, they charged fiercely. When Kuangya used melta cannons and multiple rocket launchers to blow up the mechs' fire emplacement, then personally charged to the short range, fired another round of rockets, and then picked up an ax to chop wildly, the one behind him Green-skinned walking mechas and elite infantry also rushed forward. The scale of the battle may not be particularly large, but it is full of bloodshed.
After losing all the infantry combat aircraft and all the infantry combat vehicles, this elite Marine Corps blocking the road fought to the death for another fifteen minutes and was slaughtered by more than 60% of its troops. Then came the collapse of the armed sailors, triggering a general collapse.
In fact, one cannot be too harsh. Even if they all have infinite fighting will and all of them are willing to sacrifice their lives for this battle, it is nothing more than blocking for a while and cannot change the outcome.
Of course, the greenskins also paid a heavy price. At least four hundred green-skinned orcs and more than thirty green-skinned armors of various types were also killed in the battle.
In total, both sides dropped hundreds of machines of various types and nearly three thousand lives in total, and all of this happened in only about twenty minutes, on a battlefield no more than eight hundred meters in front, back, left, and right. Corpses and mechanical debris are no longer just everywhere. One meter of corpse is not enough to pave the ground, and they are piled on top of each other. The green-skinned army had to step forward on broken limbs and remains.
Kuangya himself is fine.
But with him here, and the remaining six hundred greenskins still there, their combat effectiveness is still there, and they can still continue to attack.
But on the contrary, the Marine Corps was unable to gather a force comparable to the one before in a short period of time to stop it.
Along the way, only a few small forces existed. The brave soldiers tried to delay the advance of the green skin boarding force with their lives and buy time for the friendly forces.
However, Yelicia on the command bridge fell into panic.
Through the information passed back from the front line, she recognized that it was the jump gang led by the orc warlord himself. She immediately realized that nothing could stop the orc warlord just with the battle preparations on board the Quintet.
On the one hand, she was incredulous at the recklessness of this orc warlord. In her opinion, how could the commander-in-chief and fleet commander of a fleet personally lead a team to conduct a gang-hopping raid? It is too easy to die in the interception fire net without any explanation. If you die like that, you will be worthless.
But on the other hand, reality slapped her hard in the face. The terrifying advantages brought by that powerful individual strength on the battlefield are magnified to the extreme in the special environment of a starship.
This is not an open ground battlefield. All battles take place inside starships. No matter how open the place is, it is limited. It is also impossible to deploy a heavy artillery group dozens of kilometers behind to launch an attack on the enemy. In a limited environment, an invincible orc warlord equipped with heavy armor, invulnerability, and full single-target firepower is simply a nightmare for any defense line.
What frightened her even more was that the beast seemed to have an extremely keen sense of combat. The direction of his attack was not wrong at all, it was towards the core area of the starship - the power engine center.
Once killed there, what will happen is simply unimaginable.
At present, the naval battle has reached a critical moment. Just now, they destroyed another enemy frigate. However, the distance between the two sides has also become closer. The Quintet was attacked by a gang of boarding troops, and many of its firepower platforms were misfired. This resulted in a slightly weaker attack, and the own side's void shield also turned red. More firepower began to pass through the void shield, directly challenging the cruiser's armor.
Similarly, those green-skinned battleships are also under greater pressure, and the L-level specification of the 'Wrath of the Loyal Si' is still terrifying.
When the bayonet is red, if someone stabs the inside of the Quintet a little harder, the ship's power fails, and there is a problem with the weapon system and void shield's energy supply, it will suffer a devastating blow in an instant.
what to do?
What else can stop that beast?
The last life-saving straw was Gu Hang's body.
The planetary governor not only brought 20,000 soldiers, but also four space warriors.
She immediately contacted Gu Hang, who had already left the bridge to mobilize troops, through the communication system.
"You must solve this problem immediately! We are on the same boat. The Quintet is doomed and none of us can survive!"
On the other side of the communicator, Gu Hang's voice responded quickly, with a very simple sentence:
"I know, I'm already here."
His voice was quite calm.
Yelicia felt a little more at ease.
She didn't know whether Gu Hang and the Space Marines with him could stop the orc warlord. But now, she has no other choice but to trust Governor Gu.
At this time, she began to feel lucky again that she had let Gu Hang on board the ship.
……
Gu Hang did not fool Ye Lixia, his troops were indeed in place.
Not just him, not just the four Phoenixes. Relying on their strength alone is not enough to stop an army.
Following him were the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Xifeng Brigade, and a regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division.
Previously, he already knew the shocking news that the Marine Corps unit was completely wiped out in twenty minutes.
The troops under his command were no more elite than the elite Marine Corps that was quickly annihilated.
If possible, he would not want his troops to face such a brutal battle.
But this is war.
In war, there are no choices.
