Chapter 160: Urban Area Exploration Professional Match
The Gorgon was indeed safe, but due to its heavy body and the soldiers it was loaded with, its movement speed was only 30 kilometers per hour.
Lin Heng had no choice but to command the Salamander reconnaissance vehicle to advance. Thirty kilometers was neither long nor short for the orcs.
After all, the other party occupies the urban area and those construction factories, so the orc equipment must be produced continuously.
No matter how strong the Gorgon armored transport vehicle is, it cannot withstand the beating of hundreds of orcs.
And with the orcs' unimaginable creative ability, who knows what kind of killing machines they can create with their own construction factories.
Lin Heng took out an infrared night vision telescope and observed the situation on the ground in the distance.
In fact, there was no grass growing on the ground outside the front-line positions. No one knew how many times the ground had been plowed by the Astra Militarum and the Orcs in various ways.
Only this type of tracked armored vehicle can navigate the various craters and bumpy ground as if it were flat ground.
Seeing how messy the battlefield buffer zone was, it was not difficult for Lin Heng to imagine how serious the orc problem on this planet was.
"Um..Krieg soldier."
"Political Commissar*3."
Lin Heng made a "tsk" sound. He originally wanted to ask them about their knowledge of the orcs, but it was so difficult to even call out their names. He really didn't know what sin he had committed.
"What should I call you?"
"Call me Pilot Krieg, Commissar."
"Call me Deputy Gunner Krieg, Commissar."
"Call me Krieg Gunner, Commissar."
If the three of them hadn't mentioned different positions, Lin Heng would have thought they were born of the same mother.
"Okay... have you ever had any experience fighting against orcs?... Assistant gunner."
Lin Heng asked the Krieg soldier closest to him.
"Report to the Political Commissar, no."
Lin Heng was still waiting for the other party's explanation, but after a few seconds he realized that the other party really didn't have any.
"Then why were you sent here to fight an enemy you don't know about?"
Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. They dare to send them to fight without any experience. This death army is his *suicide army, Lin Heng thought.
"Report to the Political Commissar, I don't know."
The soldier looked straight ahead and kept silent without even giving any explanation.
Lin Heng felt a headache, thinking about these soldiers, they were so silent that it was a bit pathological. They didn't even communicate with their teammates.
"Tsk...then what do you know?" Lin Heng asked directly.
"I beg the Emperor's forgiveness, I was born to die!"
Unexpectedly, the driver and the machine gunner, who had said nothing before, spoke out in unison with the assistant gunner.
It was as if they were in sync with each other. Every word they spoke was so sonorous that Lin Heng could feel the absolutely true tone.
Ya Lei? Lin Heng's scalp tingled. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Could this group of Krieg soldiers be a group of suicide squads?
Being a political commissar among a group of soldiers who want to die? Belvis, I *your ancestors! You *re really screwing me!
The judge is no good! You deserve to be hated, you deserve to be disliked, you deserve it!
Although Lin Heng wanted to roar to the sky, he could still distinguish what was important and what was not.
Because the city area in the distance has been revealed, and it is brightly lit in the dark night.
This group of orcs is really outrageous, probably because the main force of the Astra Militarum Army had always been attacking in the same direction.
So they actually built a huge red orc symbol on the gate tower of the city.
The skull shape, pieced together with various metal plates, looks like something that orcs could do.
Lin Heng immediately signaled to Major 358 on the other reconnaissance vehicles, and one of the reconnaissance vehicles immediately turned back and gave orders to the group of transport vehicles that had not yet caught up.
“We are about 5 kilometers away from the urban area in a straight line, but there are a large number of fungal crops within 500 meters of the urban area.
There will definitely be a lot of Scrooges, Butts, and Snots among them, and we will be discovered by them even if we move forward on foot."
Lin Heng informed the three company commanders of the situation, and the four of them immediately began negotiations.
“While visibility is low, I suggest conducting engineering operations to transform the nearby terrain.
Dig an underground tunnel that runs through the battlefield. Once the main force of the orcs is lured out, our soldiers can pour out of the underground tunnel.
Launch a general attack directly on the urban area, and the tunnel can still be dug vertically to enter under the urban area.
At that time, after the engineers have blasted the area, our soldiers can take advantage of the situation and enter the city directly, thus forming an internal and external alliance."
Lin Heng listened very carefully. It should be said that they were indeed a professional siege corps.
The idea of directly sending troops to someone else's house is something they can come up with, which is indeed different from the ordinary Star Army.
"Wait, wait, wait, there's only half a night left, isn't that enough time to dig trenches?
If we do this in the daytime, the orcs will be able to find us, isn't this a little too hasty?"
"Commissar, it's not a trench, it's an underground tunnel."
After Major 358 finished speaking, he gestured with his hand, and the other officers at all levels nodded and left.
Soon, Krieg soldiers carrying large and small bags were spotted coming forward with shovels and pickaxes and starting to dig.
very clear
They lined up in a vertical line with a team every thirty meters, digging at fixed points and conducting two-way penetration.
Such professional and efficient working methods gave Lin Heng a new understanding of them.
"Although they are a little sick, they are really good at their work..."
Taking advantage of the fact that nothing was happening, Lin Heng signaled the driver to conduct a survey around the city, and the result was just as Lin Heng expected.
The orcs have basically blocked all entrances and exits. If you want to enter or exit, you must pass through a modified suspension bridge or open the gate.
In addition, the mushroom field is full of fart spirits, so it is very difficult to sneak in alone.
If Lin Heng was the only one there, he would want to try no matter what. If he was discovered, he would just run away.
But after all, there are thousands of engineers working here, and a little impatience will ruin a big plan, so we have to act quietly.
Dawn was approaching and the night was gradually fading away. Lin Heng returned to the construction site and found that most of the soldiers had disappeared.
If Major 358 hadn't reminded him, Lin Heng would never have believed that they had already opened an underground tunnel back to the front-line position.
It only took half a night, and even then only the simplest digging tools were used.
Moreover, the entrance of the hole was blocked by backfilling. Lin Heng looked at the unchanged land and never expected that there was a path under his feet.
The tunnel is about one meter wide, one and a half meters high and twenty kilometers long.
"Damn, they are really a perfect match for each other. They must have been reincarnated civil engineers in their previous lives, right? Hahaha."
Then everyone drove away. Lin Heng also let the reconnaissance car run above the tunnel and found that there was no collapse.
I naturally felt better about this. It turns out that professional matters should be left to professionals.
After returning to the camp, Lin Heng went straight to sleep. He had to stay in good spirits while he could still sleep.
Until the sun sets and night falls again, the engineering team sets out again.
This time, they will expand the width of the underground tunnel and dig towards the urban area.
Lin Heng came to the command center and began to discuss the follow-up situation with the officers.
“Commissar, we have started the tunnel project at dusk, and in six hours, we will launch an artillery attack on the city to cover the excavation.
The orcs might launch a counterattack, so we have to wait until we figure out their attack pattern.
By then, once the siege group has assembled, we can launch an assault on the city."
Lin Heng nodded in agreement. This was indeed the best plan of action at the moment. It was well-founded and at least made him feel at ease.
So six Terra hours later, Krieg's artillerymen assembled the Earthshaker cannon, and when they saw their commander waving his arm, they immediately lit the primer.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Lin Heng listened to the familiar voice and the explosion in his memory quietly emerged. At that time, only six Earthshaker cannons were enough to bombard the factory beyond recognition.
And now, the organized artillery regiments have gradually gathered. When they all go on the field, the scene will be extremely thundering and fiery.
Slightly modified
A company had nine cannons, and an artillery regiment had three companies.
And this is just the number of Earthshaker cannons; other heavier artillery pieces have not even been delivered to the front line.
Twenty-seven Earthshaker cannons roared, and the projectiles rose into the air with a "crowning" sound, breaking through the clouds and passing through the battlefield.
It brought even brighter flames to the brightly lit orc city.
The orcs were carrying out their daily recreational activities when they suddenly heard an unusual noise coming from high in the sky. The "whooshing" sound was very familiar.
They looked up at the dark sky, wondering what it was that made them feel so familiar.
"I wonder if those shrimps will come and attack us again."
"Boom boom boom!"
Before he finished speaking, death landed on the ground. Instantly, the bullets exploded and flames shot up into the sky, and the area that was hit by dumplings immediately turned into ruins.
All the orcs who stayed in the bombing area, except for a few guys with ridiculously thick armor, were basically blown to pieces.
Even if it was a super-heavy-armored boss, he would have lost arms and legs, and his screams of pain would be mixed with the howls of explosions.
The entire orc city woke up, and green sea water continued to flow out from buildings of all sizes.
The orc leader, who was holding on for his last breath, issued an order, and the broken mechanical arm pointed to the front line, and the battle was about to break out.
"WAAAAAGH!"
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…boom, boom, boom…”
...
Looking around, the endless trenches were filled with extremely calm Krieg soldiers, each doing their job and showing no signs of nervousness.
Apart from the "click" sound of various heavy machine gun bullets being loaded, the only sound that could be heard was the hurried footsteps.
Lin Heng stood at the front line, feeling the noise in the wind, and thought they were so quiet that it was a little scary.
"Tonight is going to be a sleepless night."
