Chapter 234, run in
The Chaos Eight-Pointed Star Formation that connects the real world is impregnably guarded by humans.
When there were only Space Marines and others like No. 180, they were able to hold off the storm monsters from breaking through. However, as the battle progressed, fatigue and ammunition reserves gradually made them unsustainable.
But Gu Hang's arrival eliminated all these two negative problems.
At the same time, he also ordered that the remaining 500 special elites guarding Area C7 also step into the underground space and be pulled into the realm of the Kingdom of God of the Original Angry Owl.
And with these five hundred people, the blockade of the Chaos Formation has become even more impregnable.
But Gu Hang was still not satisfied with this.
Letting the 31st Airborne Division assemble and letting Thaddeus lead the Northern Army to the designated position as soon as possible are all for the follow-up plan.
He planned to bring in the entire army.
Doesn’t the original angry owl like to pull people?
So what does it mean that Xiao Jiazi is so angry that he only pulls the area around the cultists' formation? Let’s get a bigger one!
In fact, it was not that the original angry owl wanted to draw humans into his domain, this was completely accidental.
After the Chaos Formation opened the barrier between the realm of the Raging Owl Evil God and the real world, the connection between the two became extremely close. The aura of the hell abyss naturally spreads out, passively pulling anyone who gets too close into here.
It is said to be "half" because the real body of the person being pulled in is still in the real world, and what comes here is the mind, will and soul.
But the abyss of hell, or the entire 'real world', is not a pure energy world. This is a place where physical laws are chaotic, spiritual energy is dense, and energy, will, and matter are chaotically entangled with each other.
When people come here, they will get the same body as in the real world, and the things they carry with them will also be sent in in some way. Ammunition emptied here cannot be used in the real world; when a person is injured here, the same injury will be reflected on the body outside, and death is even more so.
Previously, what Gu Hang achieved in 'eliminating fatigue' was purely using spiritual power to interfere with the warriors' feelings and use spiritual energy to replenish their 'stamina'. As for the ammunition, he had 'carried' it from the real world and placed it on these soldiers.
Then, when it came to pulling half of the 31st Airborne Division into the kingdom of the evil god, Gu Hang deliberately expanded the influence of the evil energy formation and directed it to the assembly area of the 31st Airborne Division, bringing them all in. Pulled in.
The entire airborne division, with its artillery and more than 5,000 people, was dragged in. Of course, it was not just to seal the chaotic formation.
If you just want to do this, the existing manpower is enough.
In fact, what Gu Hang was targeting was the Angry Owl God himself.
At this moment, human warriors have occupied a large area within the Kingdom of Angry Owl. Half of the infantry division deployed a multi-layered defensive position in a circular front with a circumference of almost two kilometers.
Previously, the goal of the human warriors was to prevent the monsters from rushing out of the chaos formation. But now, let alone rushing out, it is impossible for those monsters to even get within three hundred meters of the Chaos Formation.
However, those ordinary monsters made of storms were never in Gu Hang's consideration.
Although they are numerous, endless, and generated at any time, even long-range attack methods are scarce. A few powerful ones can launch wind bombs, causing a certain amount of damage, but as long as such a thing appears, they will be wiped out from a distance.
On the contrary, the firepower on the human side is too much.
The real world also has a real impact on the real world. After those artillery pieces were passed over, the 155mm howitzers fired still had terrifying lethality.
And none of these blows required Gu Hang's strength.
On the contrary, after so many humans stably occupied this three-hundred-meter-deep position, some special changes occurred here. The dark clouds above the head have dissipated a little, and the solid ground has become soft. If the shovel is poked downward, it can poke cracks in the rock; with a few more strokes, a hole can be dug.
This is a change in the laws of the field.
Areas that humans have occupied for a long time are gradually breaking away from the concept of the evil god's realm and will no longer be controlled by the original angry owl.
This is exactly Gu Hang's goal.
After he gained a lot of understandable knowledge, this was the solution he came up with - he wanted to completely kill this evil god, disintegrate its kingdom, and solve the original cult that shrouded the Raging Owl Star from the source. question!
When a considerable part of the area was occupied by humans and the attributes of the Kingdom of God were removed, the original angry owl moved forward even more slowly.
Although it was originally an angry owl that belonged to the real world, over the past few hundred years, it had long embraced the Hell Abyss, been accepted by it, and became a part of the Hell Abyss.
It wants to cross the curtain between the real world and the real world, which is very, very difficult, and the restrictions it receives are very large. Even if someone opens the 'door' for him, he has to open the curtain bit by bit by himself. .
Originally, this process only took three to five hours, but the destruction of the cult ritual by the Space Marines forced the high priest to hastily advance the ritual to its climax, which resulted in the time being greatly extended.
But despite this, within fifteen or twenty hours, it will finally come to an end.
But more and more humans joined in, and even part of the area where the Chaos Array, which was equivalent to the gate, was separated from his kingdom of God, which made this time even longer.
The symbol of this is that the angry owl god is extremely angry and moves forward with great efforts, but he moves slower and slower, and even moves further away.
But Gu Hang was not satisfied yet.
At present, it seems that it will take about thirty-two hours for this original angry owl to come in front of humans.
This was enough for the main force led by Thaddeus to arrive at the combat location.
But he didn't want to go to such an extreme.
Now, you should prepare in advance for the next battle.
Under his will, humanity began to advance.
Space warriors and battle nuns formed a vanguard team, suddenly broke out of the position and expanded a part of the space outwards. Immediately afterwards, the special operations elites immediately followed up and consolidated their positions; then, ordinary soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division took over the consolidated positions.
At the same time, the Space Marines and Battle Sisters will continue to rush outward, and the special operations elites will keep up...
So back and forth.
They are further expanding the area they occupy.
On the one hand, this will delay the arrival of the original angry owl at the gate, making subsequent plans more relaxed; on the other hand, as the occupied area expands, it will also peel off more parts of the Kingdom of God and weaken the original angry owl. strength.
However, when the position was expanded to a depth of 600 meters, they stopped.
Gu Hang also needs to save his own strength.
Although, in the real world, his psychic power has increased several levels, it is still limited after all. Later, he would have to recruit 50,000 people, plus countless weapons and equipment.
He didn't want to consume too much before that.
Therefore, apart from 'carrying' ammunition from outside to replenish it, he did not plan to do anything to relieve the soldiers' fatigue. The cost is not huge, but if the quantity is more than 5,000, it is still quite considerable. The soldiers began to take turns to rest and take turns to fight.
It is enough to maintain the 600-meter-deep defensive position, and there is no need to do more.
But even though one-third of the soldiers were always resting, those ordinary storm monsters still couldn't break through the human defense line.
Heavy artillery can always reduce their numbers from a distance and in large quantities, making it impossible for them to concentrate their forces and rush towards one place. As long as they reveal such intentions, howling artillery fire will come.
Even if they rush over in scattered pieces, they can't stop the machine gun blockade.
Get any closer and you'll be shot with a rifle.
After death, monsters will dissipate into the wind, waiting to regroup. Therefore, it would be impossible for these monsters to use the accumulation of corpses as a cover to rush over.
Of course, there are not no casualties on the human side.
In thirty-two hours, the soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division suffered nearly a thousand casualties.
The reason why they suffered a casualty rate of almost 20% was mainly because those storm monsters were too fierce and fearless of death, and they did not need to rest. During these thirty-two hours, there was a real battle going on all the time, not to mention that the soldiers on the human side still needed to rest.
Those monsters just charge forward mindlessly. Even if they can charge up and release a wind bomb, it would be good.
The most threatening way of attack for those monsters is to charge in groups. Although, most of their attempts were destroyed by artillery bombardment during the charge. However, the ammunition of artillery is not unlimited. Even if Gu Hang transferred all the artillery shells transported to the Polar Industrial City to the Kingdom of Evil God, there is still no way to really make dozens of artillery. Fired non-stop.
Even if there are wind falcons outside that are constantly transporting artillery shells, they cannot withstand the current consumption rate.
Even if the shells are enough, the life of the barrel cannot withstand it.
In this case, those storm monsters can still find an opportunity to complete a large-scale group charge.
The artillery couldn't catch up in time, the machine guns couldn't sweep them all, the rifles didn't kill them all, and there were still a lot of monsters rushing into their faces.
Although they will eventually be wiped out, before that, human warriors will still suffer certain losses.
Thirty-two hours later, the number of losses reached a thousand people.
A casualty ratio of nearly 20% would usually have a big impact on morale.
But on this particular battlefield, things were fine.
First of all, there are governors, space warriors, battle sisters, political commissars... all of which have a huge morale bonus for ordinary soldiers.
And secondly, it is also the fundamental goal: they are not fighting to the death without any goal here. They have a clear battle goal. According to the Governor, reinforcements will arrive in just thirty-two hours.
At that time, it is time for them to launch a full-scale counterattack and completely eliminate this evil monster that is raging on the planet.
The soldiers believed this to be true, because the Governor himself had always been here and never left.
And this is also true. The Governor is not bluffing.
In other words, Thaddeus was not bluffing.
Thirty-two hours, just thirty-two hours.
In addition to the 31st Airborne Division, which had already entered and even completed the occupation of the Polar Industrial City through makeup and airborne landings, Thaddeus also had five divisions and brigade-level divisions under his command. Units, respectively:
The 9th Garrison Division, the 30th, 32nd, and 33rd Infantry Divisions, and the 35th Combined Brigade.
This adds up to almost 50,000 people, and there is plenty of heavy equipment.
They, that is, the former CEO of Polar Industries, Pierre, received news of the army gathering at the northern border.
Before the 31st Airborne Division and many alliance elites took action, they had already entered the northern region and rushed all the way to the Polar Industrial City.
There are indeed some armed forces in the middle.
For example, the guard regiment of the Polar Industrial City, or the self-defense militia in some settlements.
However, Thaddeus completely ignored them.
As long as the local armed forces don't stop trying to stop them, Thaddeus will not cause trouble. His primary goal is to cooperate with the airborne troops and reach the Polar Industrial City as soon as possible.
If anyone really overestimates his capabilities and tries to block them, Thaddeus will command his troops without mercy and run them over.
No one can stop their army in the field.
Especially when eighteen Lion tanks are charging forward in a row, followed by hundreds of Ramblers, they don't need to stop at all, step on the accelerator and rush forward in the wilderness. That’s it. It is impossible for those mantis-armed chariots to withstand the heavy artillery on the Lion tank, nor can they withstand the bombardment of the machine guns and heavy bolters on the infantry fighting vehicles behind them.
Of course, since the enemies along the way have not been cleared, it does lead to some risks.
If the follow-up war does not go smoothly, the supply of the army will become a big problem.
However, at least for a short time, there is no need to worry. The joint logistics forces operating with the group army, thousands of baggage trucks, fully loaded with ammunition supplies, moved with the army.
No matter how cautious Thaddeus is, he will not think that anyone can persist in the north until their ammunition is used up.
Of course, if the target is an evil god, it might be a little confusing.
Therefore, Thaddeus mobilized the 8th Division and the 25th Division to escort more supplies from the central province as a backup on the way forward.
When the Governor gave the order, the BJ Army was not far from the Polar Industrial City.
And after thirty-two hours passed, his troops not only arrived at the designated location: the west side of the Far North Industrial City.
They even had time to blast the city's western wall, and then the entire force advanced another kilometer into the city.
Gu Hang greatly appreciated this.
Originally, the target location designated for them was on the western outskirts of Polar Industrial City. The consideration at that time was that it would take too much time for large troops and heavy equipment to enter the city.
But now, it is obviously better to blast the wall and run in directly.
The closer he is to the Chaos Formation, the easier it will be for Gu Hang to lure people into the Kingdom of the Evil God.
