Chapter 658, urgent need
"Thank you for coming!"
During the call, Salisius seemed very polite.
Martins' reply was also quite polite: "We are friendly forces, as we should."
But the content of politeness is limited to this.
The war situation was critical, and there really wasn't much time for small talk.
Later, Salidis introduced the battle situation on the Western Front to Martins in more detail.
After receiving Gu Hang's last very stern warning, Salisius's own uneasiness reached its highest level.
At that time, he did have the idea of competing with Leroy to see who could break into Leadouches first.
It's normal. As a commander-in-chief, you have participated in this mighty war. Who doesn't want to pocket the final honor?
But in the end, his reason prevailed.
For the sake of honor, he was unwilling to risk the ruin of the entire army.
Combined with the content of Gu Hang's warning, if everything is true, then Rheadoches is obviously not the end of this war. Winning it is not a victory.
What's more, Leroy had already taken the opportunity before him. If the Queen's Star Territory is easy to fight, then he will definitely not be able to run as fast as Leroy; if the Queen's Star Territory is really like what Gu Hang said, it has become a worm's nest and is extremely dangerous, then stepping into it will simply lead to death.
After a whole day of thinking and understanding a lot, he finally put down his thoughts, fought against all the opinions, and followed the advice of Caring Hang, stopped the troops, established a defense line on the spot, cleaned up the local infected, and tried to establish a Establish a solid base to ensure that you are worry-free now, then look at the situation and make next plans.
Then, he waited for the full-scale outbreak of the pests, for the iron armor to attack from behind, and for LeRoy on the northern line to be no longer heard from.
At that time, he broke into a cold sweat.
If he was really like Leroy, leading the army and entering the Queen's Star Territory so recklessly, the outcome would probably not be any different from that of Leroy, who is currently in an unknown situation.
But even the current situation has already made him anxious.
The Zerg army that escaped from the Queen's Star Territory was actually relatively good. Although there were a large number of them, they did not step into the Queen's Star Territory and maintained their defense line.
War broke out in more than a dozen worlds at the same time, with fleets supporting them everywhere. Using the planet as a fortress, they were still able to stabilize the battle line.
Although the war was very intense and the sacrifices were huge, they were able to withstand the battle line and consume each other. In terms of battle loss ratio, they still had a significant advantage.
Of course, it is difficult to explain the battle damage ratio. After all, if the battle damage ratio cannot be improved by fighting the insect swarm, then there is no need to fight, and it will be exhausted to death. After all, although in the Star Sea War, human life is not valuable, the life of the insect on the opposite side is even less valuable.
In the current consumption, if you can take advantage, at least it won't be so bad.
As long as the number of the insect swarm is consumed below a certain scale, and then certain strategies are adopted, either a decisive battle or a desperate assault, to eliminate the core hive fleet of the insect swarm, the war can be won. This is also the way that humans and the Void Zerg often won in the battle for hegemony in this sea of stars in the first half of the year.
But the bigger problem lies in the main force of the Iron Armor Chapter fighting from west to east.
That can kill you.
Iron Armor has been missing for a long time. During their march eastward, Salisu's troops occasionally encountered them and achieved some results, but the two sides did not engage in a substantial all-out confrontation. The iron armor seemed to shatter at a single touch, and it was spread across hundreds of mountains. In the war between thousands of worlds, they were defeated steadily.
Judging from the battle report, Salisius's offensive was too fierce. The full-scale attack left Tiejai unable to parry, and he had no time to assemble, so he was defeated steadily, so that in a series of small-scale battlefields, there were A huge loss can basically be considered as destruction.
But Gu Hang thought it was wrong at first.
Iron armor can't be that easy to deal with.
Was Salius lying about the military situation and exaggerating his military exploits from the beginning? He didn't think so at first. He felt that he had really defeated Tie Kai. But now, with the facts before him, he had to admit that he was careless. In the battle reports he received before, it was claimed that he encountered iron-armored teams in battles, which may be true; but with more than 4,000 casualties accumulated, this number seems to be really unreliable. .
Maybe in a battle, if you encounter ten iron armors and cover them with artillery, you won't see any of them, so you feel that they are all wiped out, and then you report them.
That's about it.
The error that occurs once may not seem high, but when accumulated in countless battles, it is not a small number.
And these problems, accumulated until now, gave him a big thunder.
The Iron Armored Chapter that came out from behind has at least eleven main battleships. The strength of the Space Marines is still unknown, but every planet they focus on attacking is reporting that they have been attacked by thousands of people. The massive Space Marines struck and fell quickly. At the same time, deeper into the battlefield, you can often see iron-armored ships and tactical teams attacking and harassing.
Just like the previous long gas star.
Once the defense strength is insufficient, it will be conquered and cause a lot of trouble.
The gain or loss of a planet may not be critical; Iron Armor rushes directly to the defense line and attacks from both sides, causing the risk of Salisius's main force being threatened. The risk is much greater, but it is not impossible to solve. After all, Salisius still had a lot of troops, and he could still spare some troops and deploy defenses facing the west.
But the biggest threat comes from the fact that the logistics line is cut off, and it's over.
The entire Solar Expeditionary Force, such a huge fleet, the Astra Militarum of the Solar Legion, as well as the Astra Militarum and defense forces recruited from the Maigret Domain, add up to hundreds of millions or even billions of troops, and the daily consumption is It is a measure of heaven.
If the basic food and ammunition consumption can be provided on-site through the many planets currently occupied, then the same massive amounts of advanced artillery shells, high-compression energy crystal blocks required by ships, naval gun shell reserves, losses It would be too difficult to replenish high-tech weapons and equipment such as tanks and fighter jets on the spot.
The White Curtain Star Territory is not a place with developed productivity. Providing some primary assets can only be said to be reluctant, and it is not enough. After all, production and transportation capacity are problems. When it comes to advanced war resources, there is even less power. They can't even produce them at all, not to mention that in these war-torn worlds, the recovery of productivity is also a problem.
In this case, the arrival of Martins solved the urgent need.
