Chapter 146, I want this big guy!
"I don't want to hear so much reasoning. I just want to know when the big thing you mentioned can be completed!" Tear Meat growled, already a little impatient.
The elder took the meat tearer's hand and said, "If you want to see those big guys, come with me and I'll show you."
Tear Meat followed the elder and came to a "factory".
This place is open-air, and many wrench boys are working here. They kick the buttocks of the fart assistants, laugh loudly, and fight with each other from time to time. Some greenskins are even beaten to death on the spot.
But this does not hinder their work efficiency or the bustling scene.
And here, Tear Meat saw a lot of good things.
There is a green truck being assembled. It looks like a pile of broken building blocks put together casually. It barely has the shape of a car, and multiple machine guns are crookedly stuffed on the truck. It can not only transport the boys to the front line, but also serve as an armed vehicle to shoot fiercely.
He also saw something that looked like a cannon that was assembled from tin barrels. Three or five tin barrels were simply tied together with wire, and a few wheels were stuffed underneath to complete the project.
In addition to these, he also saw several tin cans about three meters tall with "hands and feet" and a ridiculous and crude orc head painted on them with white paint.
He turned his head and saw the elder looking at him.
"This is a gift for the strongest boss in the clan! When it's ready, put it on, and use the chainsaw to make a click, the loud bangs to make booms, and the revolver to make rattles! You'll definitely be able to kill all those shrimps!"
Sirou couldn't help but stroke the big guy. He felt disgusted with the little guy who was getting in the way and kicked it several meters away.
After a long while, he finally laughed happily: "Hahahaha! I want this big thing! When can I wear it?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it will be soon!"
…
A month passed.
Gu Hang did not stay in Garbage Town all the time. He flew back to Fuxing City several times.
After all, the two urban areas of Fuxing City and Weixing City are the foundation.
He inspected the reconstruction of Fuxing City. The outer city area, which had been a wasteland, was now somewhat presentable. Although it was still a large construction site, according to Ossena's plan, the entire city area had taken shape. There were about 600,000 people still active in the outer city area, of which nearly 200,000 were carrying out the city's reconstruction work.
Thanks to the efforts of nearly 200,000 construction workers, the city is being rebuilt rapidly.
Now, the total population of Fuxing City is about 800,000. Of the nearly 900,000 people who originally lived in the outer city of Fuxing City, 200,000 have migrated to Weixing City, and another 100,000 have migrated to the inner city.
The population structure and industrial structure of the entire city will become more reasonable in the future.
What Gu Hang cared more about was the situation in Weixing City.
The main industrial area under his command is here.
The current population of Weixing City has exceeded 300,000 after receiving a large number of people who migrated from Fuxing City and from major settlements within 200 kilometers to the east.
Especially the military industry is particularly important.
With the round-the-clock work in the black box of the research institute and the efforts of Wu Jiarong, the production capacity of various military industries is increasing rapidly.
In the past month, the military industry in the Waste Cave District has produced 55 infantry fighting vehicles, 40,000 sets of individual equipment with G9 rifles as the core, 100 artillery pieces of various types, 40,000 rounds of various artillery shells, and 200 military trucks...
The equipment for the Xifeng Brigade has not been completed yet, but at least two heavy combined battalions have been prepared and will be sent to the front line.
Along with the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 1st Xifeng Brigade going to the front line were logistical supplies loaded on 200 trucks, as well as a large amount of ammunition, weapons and equipment.
Two hundred vehicles cannot even carry all these things in one trip, and several trips are needed.
Once this batch of equipment and logistical supplies arrives, the four garrison divisions from 4 to 7 will be able to complete their reorganization.
Of course, Gu Hang still had to spend more than 400 points of grace on them for training.
With training completed and equipment in place, their combat effectiveness was not much different from that of the 2nd Infantry Division, except for the insufficient number of artillery pieces.
In addition to military construction, Gu Hang's gift points soared again in this month.
It has nothing to do with the war.
Although there was a big war going on outside Garbage Town, and the scale of this war was the largest since Gu Hang came to Angry Owl Star, up to now, there had never been a battle settlement interface.
Obviously, the battles that had ended before, no matter whether they were counter-attacks or defensive battles, the individual battles were not counted as over.
If you want to see the battle settlement interface, you may have to complete the entire battle.
But the nourishment of grace points without combat is not a big problem. His current monthly grace point income has increased from less than 400 points last month to 588 points.
The substantial increase in monthly income this time was not caused by a population explosion, but by a genuine increase in productivity. The biggest increase came from Weixing City, where nearly 200,000 more people moved in, and through short-term intensive training and on-the-job training, most of the population solved the unemployment problem. Most importantly, the heavy industry and military industry were replenished with population.
The substantial increase in productivity brought about an increase in income of more than 150 points.
As for Renaissance City, the construction of the outer city was very fast. The recovery of various industries, the improvement of management capabilities, and the elimination of debuffs all made the situation in Renaissance City continue to improve. Although 200,000 people moved out, the monthly gift points provided by Renaissance City did not decrease but increased by 30 points.
The arrival of this monthly income reduced Gu Hang's grace to only 300 points, due to the 400 points spent on training soldiers, the expenses of activating Thadius, and the expenses of training the Wind-Extinguishing Brigade and the 2nd Division, returning him to 890 points.
Gu Hang will not spend these grace points recklessly.
The war against the greenskins he is facing now is the largest battle he has faced since he came to the Angry Owl Star.
Those greenskins are much more difficult to deal with than imagined.
During this month, the total loss of Gu Hang's soldiers was about 4,000 people. On the 60-kilometer front, an average of more than 130 people died every day, and the number of greenskins killed and wounded was about 80.
The casualty ratio was 1:1.6, which is a bit ugly.
Mainly because the greenskins have some new stuff recently: artillery and armed pickup trucks.
These two things bring a lot of pressure to the front line.
The former is a direct fire attack, and now the infantry on the front line will also be attacked by heavy fire from time to time. The greenskin artillery is also very powerful. If it hits directly, the fortifications built will not be able to withstand it.
The latter is also very troublesome. The armor plates of those armed pickup trucks are rough, but indeed very hard, and the speed of the car is not slow. Black smoke comes out from the back of the car, and the multiple machine guns on it fire fiercely. Let’s not talk about whether it is accurate or not. Anyway, they can carry four or five greenskins and rush to a place very close to the position.
Often two rocket launchers can damage a vehicle, but not all the green soldiers in the vehicle will be killed. In any case, it is enough to get your soldiers close to the vehicle.
Immediately afterwards, the greenskins that come close to them will cause considerable casualties to the soldiers on the defense line.
But if that's all, it's not a big problem.
The soldiers under the Governor's command maintained the front line without retreating at all.
The greenskins' artillery is quite powerful, but its range is obviously not as far as that of human artillery. After determining the location of the enemy's artillery position from the trajectory, the 155 howitzer position will often fire three or four rounds of artillery to cover the enemy's artillery position.
After the battle, although it is difficult to confirm the results, the greenskins' artillery usually silenced, and it is estimated that they were completely destroyed.
As for those newly-emerged armed pickup trucks, they can only be blocked by gun barrels, mines and obstacles set up by the front scouts. Try to delay their advance as much as possible, and then destroy them with firepower.
If they are really allowed to transport the green-skinned infantry up, then we will have a fight, but there will be heavy casualties.
The enemy has heavy firepower and "armored" forces, which is very bad news.
Gu Hang himself already felt that something was not right.
After he completed his inspection of the military production line in Weixing City and returned to the front line of Laji Town, the five Space Marines who had arrived here by vehicle two days earlier found him immediately and issued a warning.
Gu Hang had earlier invited the Phoenix Regiment, hoping that they would help solve the greenskin problem outside Garbage Town.
Greenskins are the old rivals of the Space Marines. In the history of the Phoenix, in their past hundred years of atonement crusades, they have encountered countless greenskin opponents.
The term "cancer of the universe" is not just a casual remark. This kind of enemy really exists widely throughout the universe. Some particularly fierce greenskin clans can sweep across and destroy several galaxies.
The Phoenix responded to the Governor's call and came here by car from their monastery.
The ten Iron Ox trucks allocated to the Phoenix by Gu Hang have been painted in the style of the Phoenix. The main body is red with white edges and patterns, which is completely different from the common gray and khaki paint of the Alliance Army.
These ten trucks brought not only five Space Marines, but also a hundred fully armed teenagers.
The Phoenix Monastery had previously accepted two hundred young people under the age of nineteen for training as reserve forces. One hundred who were too young stayed in the monastery and were further trained by Rizzo; and the one hundred who came to Garbage Town with Captain Martins were generally older.
The Phoenix planned to throw them into the battlefield to fight.
These young soldiers had only received one month of training in the Phoenix's monastery. They were not like Gu Hang who had any cheats. No matter how good these Phoenixes were at training new recruits, it was not enough to produce elite soldiers in just one month.
This is indeed the case, but the original intention of the Phoenix was not to expect these one hundred young men to achieve any results.
It’s essentially a elimination.
They only have one gene seed in their hands, so they must pick out the most outstanding one with the greatest chance of success to undergo the operation. When thrown into a real battlefield, only those who survive and perform best will have the chance to enter the final selection circle.
Gu Hang actually has reservations about this.
But he couldn't interfere in the affairs of other people's regiments, so he just let them do as they pleased.
Let’s get back to the present.
Martins and his four brothers all came to Gu Hang as soon as he landed at the joint military camp outside Garbage Town.
Gu Hang was a little nervous as he watched five giants, who were half a head taller than him, surrounding him.
Martins said with a serious face: "This war cannot continue like this."
"How do you mean?"
"We must launch the attack as soon as possible." Schneider next to him spoke first, "The sooner the better. Attack on all fronts, eliminate all the greenskins as soon as possible, and completely purify this land with fire."
"Wait a minute... at least tell me the reason first?" Gu Hang said, "I still plan to let the troops continue to display for a while. At present, the equipment of two garrison divisions has not arrived, and the base number of artillery shells saved is not enough... What's more, the overall combat loss ratio is still within an acceptable range. The number of greenskins in the ruins of the tower is estimated to be around 20,000. According to this combat loss ratio, in the end we will pay a price of 30,000 people to wipe out all the greenskins."
Schneider certainly wouldn't be polite to Gu Hang: "Heh, the premise is that those greenskins keep crashing into the defense line until they are all killed. Do you think it's possible?"
Gu Hang rolled his eyes. "Of course I know it's impossible, but this casualty ratio must be better than if we take the initiative to attack. According to normal thinking, we should continue to maintain a defensive position and let those greenskins crash forward until they can no longer bear the casualties and are exhausted. At the same time, our weapons are more sufficient, and then we can launch a counterattack. Isn't this better?"
"There's no such opportunity." Martins spoke, his tone much more patient than Schneider's. "The greenskins... are a very difficult group of enemies to deal with. They are very special. You know, they grow out of the ground, right?"
"I know, but if it grows out of the ground, it must take time to grow, right?"
"You are right, but the greenskins are a species of aliens born for war. The more intense the war, the faster their clan will grow."
Gu Hang frowned deeply: "You mean... fighting and deaths will actually increase their numbers?"
This is counterintuitive information.
Beforehand, Gu Hang really didn't know that the greenskins actually had this characteristic.
