Chapter 860: The Universe is Burning (Part 7)
What does the failure of the Battle of Ohmgeria mean for the Alliance?
This means that the Western Expeditionary Force will be basically destroyed, and not many will be able to escape back.
This means that the strategy to advance into the universe has completely failed. The entire universe may be trapped in the green tide and unable to escape. Thousands of worlds and trillions of people will fall into the deepest despair.
This means that the green tide will not stop in the Advance Universe, but will inevitably spread to the Magre Universe. All the achievements of the Dark Side Expedition over the past thirty years will face severe challenges.
The Alliance may have to fight the Battle of Magre, which will profoundly change the situation of the Dark Side Crusade, changing the rapid progress of the past thirty years to a strategic defensive stage to protect the results. In the original plan, everything went smoothly, and the Dark Side Crusade process, which took a hundred years, was stretched to an unknown length.
From these perspectives, the Battle of Omgeria was a battle that could not be lost.
But at the same time, Gu Hang also realized that the alliance was not completely unable to lose this battle.
Even if all of the worst-case scenarios above happen, the alliance still has confidence.
The Southern Expeditionary Force, which is similar in size to that of the Western Front, is still there; there is also a garrison force on the Alliance's home ground that is also equivalent to the size of the Western Expeditionary Force; the casualties of elite troops such as the Space Marines are normally permanent losses that are difficult to replenish, but for Gu Hang, they are replenished quite quickly; in the core territory of the Alliance, the highest level of mobilization order has not yet been initiated, and there is still a lot of war potential to be tapped.
If it really comes to the survival of the alliance, even if the battle of Ohmgeria is a disastrous defeat, there is still the entire Magrenaline to fight.
Not even close.
Only on this basis did Gu Hang dare to fight.
If they win, then the advancing universe will be completely conquered within three to five years, and the progress will be greatly accelerated;
Completely destroy a big bomb that will explode anyway;
As I said, it is better to fight early than late, even if you lose.
…
As the outer defense line came under increasing pressure, humanity's full-scale offensive against the Fortress Throne had already begun on Ankachi VIII.
The intensity of the war has once again risen to a new level!
The first thing to be strengthened was the Alliance's bombing intensity on the surface.
In fact, orbital bombardment has never stopped since the beginning of the battle.
The firepower of the starships was not only used to help build the six airdrop sites. The biggest part was to bomb various places on the entire planet. From the garbage city to the ecosphere, from the air defense fortress to the gathering place of the orc ground forces...
However, destroying six air defense fortresses did not play a decisive role in global bombing. At best, the bombing efficiency became higher in areas where the air defense zone was cleared.
But there is almost no help in directly bombing the War Fortress Throne and delivering Extinction Order weapons.
The War Fortress Throne already has the greenskins' most outstanding air defense and anti-orbital firepower facilities on the surface, as well as the most powerful waaagh force field shield, so bombing it is difficult to have an effect.
But not bombing it won’t work either.
If they bomb, at least they can tie up the greenskin cannons and use them for interception; if they don't bomb, the cannons of the Throne Fortress will be freed, and then they can attack the human warships in outer space, which will be very fatal.
The bombing of the Throne Fortress served more of a containment purpose.
As for the Extinction Order weapons, the Alliance never stopped. The observation and calculation of ground anti-aircraft firepower were always ongoing. If a weak position was found, the human fleet would suddenly launch an Extinction Order weapon.
If we can end this war with a single extinction order weapon, it will be worth it even at the cost of sacrificing all the ground troops already deployed to the surface.
But it never worked.
There are even two cases of failure.
The vast majority were intercepted.
There is no doubt that King Bonebreaker is wary of the Extermination Order. The Waaagh force field covering the entire planet is connected to him. This green-skinned "great prophet" has enough ability to identify the capabilities of the Extermination Order weapons under disguise and cover, and instantly call for interception firepower to stop it through thoughts.
But there were also two Burning Sky torpedoes that actually exploded successfully.
However, the torpedo that was supposed to ignite the atmosphere of Ankachi VIII and cover the entire planet with a sky-burning fire through continuous fission only set off a large firework.
The flames spread across the sky for more than ten kilometers before going out.
A strange force isolated the matter and suffocated the torpedo.
The process was so fast that even Gu Hang was caught off guard. When he tried to put in his strength to protect the Burning Sky Torpedo, the opposing Waaagh force field prevented him from succeeding.
Gu Hang, who didn't believe in evil, immediately used his psychic power when the second torpedo exploded.
This confrontation allowed Gu Hang to clearly see the Orc King sitting on the throne through the power showdown.
Broken Bones grinned grimly and did not lose the upper hand at all in the confrontation.
Even with Gu Hang's intervention, the explosion only stopped at one hundred kilometers.
But when he wanted to fight for the third time, Broken Bones didn't give him another chance.
He was also aware of the risks.
Gu Hang can fail many times, but if he fails once, it's all over.
Bonebreaker was more focused on interception, making the extermination order ineffective.
But despite realizing that it was impossible to easily end the war with an extermination order, the human side still launched an attack from time to time under Gu Hang's command.
The purpose is still to contain.
As long as I'm bombing, you have to be ready at all times.
If Bonebreaker puts his power into destroying the human forces on the ground, the threat will be considerable.
But on the other hand, Gu Hang can do this.
And it's a little more convenient.
…
Bai Qiao had never imagined such a hellish scene.
He was a soaring eagle who had graduated from the Seventh Military Academy of Feiyi Star. After entering the army and joining the Dark Side Expedition, he quickly made numerous meritorious deeds and became the commander of an armored infantry regiment under the Skeleton Division with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
During the entire Dark Side Expedition, he had experienced arduous battles. However, he was always the victor in the end. He was proud of the elite warriors under his command. He also believed that no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he would fight with full fighting spirit and firmly believed that victory would belong to him.
But this belief was shattered when he led his regiment to the surface for the ninth hour.
His regiment had a full strength of 3,600 people and an actual strength of 3,169 people. By now, there were less than 600 people left.
It was only nine hours!
Four hours, to be exact.
His troops were not even responsible for the main frontal battle!
In the second hour after landing, he was ordered to clean a tunnel.
This place was just on the edge of the battle. The human army had already destroyed the greenskin army in front, and the main force had already rolled over and went further east. But in the area that had rolled over, it was found that orcs kept coming out of the tunnel to attack the rear team.
Therefore, the regiment at Baiqiao received an order to clear the tunnel.
After four hours of clearing the tunnel, his troops had suffered almost all casualties.
Although we have reached the end of the tunnel, there is an underground mushroom farm where new greenskins are born one after another.
But he seemed to no longer have the energy to destroy this place.
