The situation in the battle report was surprising. The enemy's first wave of counterattack was fast and fierce, and there were a large number of Chaos Space Marines in the counterattack troops. Many troops were forced to abandon their initial positions and retreat to the second line of defense. However, the battle zone designated
The red line is 40 kilometers. If the enemy retreats, they can directly attack the landing site, causing a large number of unnecessary casualties to subsequent landing troops.
Now Abu Bakari's 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 defense, they have undoubtedly become the front end of a protrusion, which is very easy to attract enemy troops.
attention.
The order from above is for them to hold on 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 were probably 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 raised his opinion.
"Master, this is a good opportunity, a perfect stage created by heaven. Now everyone is retreating, and we are the only one who is holding on in front. As long as we can hold on, the rumors about you will be self-defeating! By then, the entire war zone will be over.
You can all see it.”
But Arni still had concerns. After all, he had been leading these soldiers for a long time.
"But the soldiers continue to fight hard, and 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 firepower, and the elite wait in the rear, wait for the enemy's attack power to subside, and then go up to counterattack!"
"Well"
Arni did not avoid Ouranios when he spoke. 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 see it yet?"
"What?"
Arnie turned his head in surprise.
Ouranios just spat on the ground crudely, which 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 if you look at the troops who landed, they are either cannon fodder or a regiment of a lot of new recruits.
There are only a few main forces of the Astra Militarum."
After listening to this, Arni picked up the data pad and flipped through it, and found that it was indeed the case. He really hadn't noticed before. The first batch of landing troops were basically second-line or even third-line cannon fodder regiments. No wonder it was so easy to retreat again and again. It wasn't just Chaos.
Space Marine reasons.
"Whose trap?"
"Who knows, some Shangfeng who doesn't take human life seriously has a very smart plan 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 had to be mobilized to protect their key weapons factories so that there would be less resistance to landings in other areas."
Ouranios smiled nervously.
"So it's best that we don't expect any reinforcements. No one will arrive in 10 hours."
Arni was silent for a moment. He was not a fool. He immediately understood what the other person said. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered:
"Should I withdraw?"
"Master, if you retreat like this, it will become a weapon for those who are interested in attacking you. Besides, we have just sent up the good news."
Frowning, Arni took a few steps back and forth in the newly rebuilt headquarters, and finally looked at Ouranios. For some reason, he felt that this special guy might have a solution.
"Do you have any opinion?"
"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. We have already lost thousands of brothers, right?"
Arni nodded. The entire regiment had 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. We can't stop them. Now there is a way out."
Ouranios walked past the table that was missing a leg, picked up the map that was buried in the ground, shook it, and spread it out on the table.
"It depends on whether you dare to gamble, leader."
"What? Which way?"
Ouranios drew his hand on the map, and Arni's eyes widened.
What the other party means is——
forward!
"What you say"
"There used to be a fortress there, but it's gone now, and this place has just been bombed by orbit. The Red Pirates' troops definitely don't dare to bet on whether there will be a second time, so there is a high probability that they will go around and counterattack across the board. How many troops are left behind?
It's hard to say, it's unknown, but you can make a bet. If the Red Pirates don't leave many troops, then the distance from our place to the weapons foundry is about 300 to 400 kilometers. The advantage of our group is that we have more vehicles, so this is the right middle ground.
There are no rivers to obstruct us, and the orbital bombing has just created a gap in the mountains. If we march to the limit, we can reach it 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 is going to raid a heavily guarded ordnance factory alone, surrounded by hundreds of thousands or millions of defenders.
.
However, Arni saw the shining moment when he created war miracles 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!
Arni 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! Just do it!"
"still have a 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."
Arni thought for a while and said:
"I have a friend in the Naval Air Force. He might be able to help me."
As for what to do after occupying the ordnance factory, Arni had not even thought about it, because all his thoughts were now focused on how to make this huge gamble with the lives of the entire group as a bargaining chip.
Soon, the order was conveyed, and the whole army was ready to set off in 20 minutes. The wounded and dead were transported to the rear, and the artillery and other equipment that was not easy to carry were dragged away or directly blown up. Everyone got on the 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 defenses. 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!
