Based on past experience, the Red Pirates judged that the Star Army was nothing more than some laser cannons and heavy bombs, and the infantry support weapons such as those of heavy bombs. Therefore, they were unprepared for the killing weapon that the Star Army suddenly took out and suffered a great loss.
In addition, since most of the previous battles occurred in the void, most of the equipment was equipped with flying vehicles, and the number of heavy vehicles used for ground attacks was rare, not to mention big guys like Titans or Knights. There was no way to face a strong fortress armed by heavy firepower except for filling human lives or orbital bombing - but even orbital bombing also had many inconveniences. On the one hand, many ground fortresses were equipped with void shield generators, and on the other hand, they were worried that the sudden appearance of the Empire's strike fleet would make the Red Pirates' main ships dare not enter planetary orbit easily.
Of course, Ingvar Pozzo also tried to airdrop directly into the enemy fortress, just like their tactics when they were loyal warriors of the Empire. Of course, the result was that they were greeted by hot melt and plasma after landing.
But relying on this forced airdrop tactic, it has actually won many fortresses. If you pursue speed, it is undoubtedly the most efficient choice. However, after transforming into Red Pirates, they have long lost the spirit of sacrifice that they used to sacrifice. After seeing several heavy casualties, the leaders of the Red Pirates at the bottom were unwilling to perform this "suicide" mission any more.
And for Ingvar Pozzo, what is even more troublesome is that the original plan was to wipe out the world in five hours and annihilate most of the garrisons. However, not only did it take 10 hours to capture the capital, but there were at least two million star-land troops and more than 10 million informal troops on the planet. They retreated into many strong or hidden strongholds. Not only would it be unrealistic to take them down in a short period of time, but they would probably have more casualties.
The consequences of the unfavorable attack are not only this. According to the original plan, after taking down the Star of Drard, their force will quickly turn to the edge of the galaxy and ambush the support troops of the White Temple - this is the focus of this battle, and priority will be given to the elimination of the Empire's Space Marines.
But now that the planet has not been taken down, the troops will retreat, and they will not retreat. If they retreat like this, it will be like the planet captured after the hard battle. If the White Temple knows that the planet has not fallen, it is likely that it will not come, or if it comes late, if it does not retreat, the planet will not know how long it will take to fight. If the imperial support troops suddenly arrive, it will really decline.
In fact, to be fair, Ingvar Pozzo knew that it was not just these external factors, but his own miscommand command was also a key. After all, in his previous career as a Space Marine, he had commanded robbery activities of over a thousand people at most. This was his first time in this super-large-scale battle. He was inevitably in a hurry and was scrambling to take care of one and another... For example, the serious losses of each Terminator squad was because he underestimated the degree of counterattack of the Arctic Army's armored forces, and mistakenly sent the Terminator squad separately according to his previous experience in jumping gang wars. Although he had certain results after landing, the actual losses were even greater. Fortunately, most of the Red Pirates' Terminator were "fighted", and after the war, they could "fighted" a few sets of parts.
Of course, his subordinates were not without staff and staff. In fact, the Red Pirates had many thousand or even ten thousand years of veterans, and even old people who had experienced the Great Expedition and the Great Rebellion. However, just like Huron did not trust them, Ingvar Pozzo did not trust them. It was okay to listen to their opinions, but it was impossible to share any command with them, or he would not share it with anyone. After all, betrayal and deception were almost common within the Red Pirates, so any warlord or leader would hold the power in his hands tightly.
Although the four war leaders are Huron's direct power, the laws of Chaos Space Marines are always the only way to speak with big fists, because they are loyal to Huron, but they also cherish their feathers. If they fight too badly, they will beat their confidants and lose their confidence in the group in the future.
The situation in the upper class is undoubtedly a microcosm of the lower class. Because Guval Pozzo wanted to play a slippery battle, his subordinates were naturally the same. Therefore, when attacking, they often had fears, starts and ends, and even sold teammates. A large part of the losses of the Red Pirates originated from this.
However, just as Ingvar Pozzo was in a dilemma, Huron's new instructions arrived in time, and the blood snake demon came together.
Huron's instructions were also very simple. The guide of the Drad Star was handed over to the blood snake demon. Ingwar Pozo quickly went to the edge of the galaxy to meet with the other mast Mogaro Kale, and deployed the Tianlu Net to ambush the White Temple support troops. It is necessary to completely eliminate it and give the Imperial Expeditionary Force a head-on strike!
On the empire, because all edge galaxies have deployed large emergency communication stations, although the Red Sea Pirates used various means to interfere with remote communication, the emergency signal was transmitted to the adjacent galaxies as soon as the Kirab Galaxy was attacked, and was transmitted to the Supreme Command of the Expeditionary Force and various war zones through the Star Language Hall.
As soon as Arash, who was driving the Red Pirates' harassing troops in a wealthy galaxy, received the news and immediately realized that he had been trapped by the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The location of the Kirabu Galaxy was very important. If it fell, the entire Sixth War Zone would be in danger of collapse. So he prepared to rush back immediately and ordered the troops and fleets stationed in the Quiet Galaxy to rush to provide assistance quickly.
However, Luko, who was sent by Soshiyan to assist the White Temple, promptly stopped Alash from leading the battle group to aid the Kirab Galaxy. Luko was the only person in the battle group who knew that Okam existed and had contact with the other party. He had already obtained the Red Pirates' preliminary plan from Okam, so he knew that the other party was coming to the White Temple.
But these things cannot be told directly to Alash, so he told the other party that the Red Pirates are good at naval battles, but not good at attacking difficulties. They have not really posed a threat to any fortress world of the empire for so many years. The Kirab Galaxy worlds have deployed heavy troops and solid fortifications. Unless all Red Pirates are dispatched, it will not be so easy to win a galaxy in a short time.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, although the number of White Holy Temple is relatively large among the battle groups participating in the battle, it is still pitifully few compared to the Red Pirates who often have thousands or even tens of thousands of Space Marines. In ground combat, with a large number of Star Wars, the number of White Holy Temple can be compensated, but in naval battles, facing the enemy's large-scale jumping tactics, the number of Star Wars will be infinitely flattened, and the White Holy Temple will be very dangerous at that time.
After listening to Luke's analysis, Alash calmed down. He also realized that the facts were indeed as the other party said. If he hurriedly led the battle group and crashed into the Kirabu Galaxy and was intercepted by the Red Pirates halfway, it would be really bad.
In addition, the Sixth War Zone received 10 million star-bound troops when it was divided, and the local garrison was only 15 million. Now, the Kirabu Galaxy alone has trapped nearly 6 million troops. Other galaxies also need defense, and there are very few troops that can be mobilized.
Therefore, Luko suggested that we should first inform Soshiyan about the situation here, and wait for the arrival of the Gogottan wasteland and the nearby Amigidon strike fleet. At that time, with the Imperial Navy, the Red Pirates would not dare to easily use precious battleships to ambush the Kilab Galaxy crisis. After all, the White Temple is the only fast maneuvering force in the Sixth War Zone, and we must not lose it.
To put it brutal, even if you have to sacrifice a few planets, you have to save these hundreds of space warriors.
Arash followed Luko's advice and did not rush to support the Kirab galaxy. Instead, he stayed near a transfer center on the edge of the galaxy and began to mobilize troops and inform Soshiyang of the situation of the war zone.
