"Is the enemy's offensive so fierce?"
The situation in the war 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 give up their initial positions and retreat to the second line of defense. However, the red line drawn by the war zone was 40 kilometers. If you retreat, you can directly attack the landing ground, resulting in a large number of unnecessary casualties in the subsequent landing troops.
Now the 310th Infantry Regiment of Abubakari has become the only unit in the nearby defense zone to defend the position. Although there are other troops behind them to assist in the defense, they undoubtedly become the front end of a protruding unit, which is very easy to attract the attention of the enemy.
The command from the superior is to let them stand still, and soon there will be troops to replace them.
But Alni felt that things were not that simple. After experiencing the frame-up of the letter incident, he realized that there might be many people in the war zone wanting him to die, and the so-called replacement troops may not be able to come on time.
At this time, one of his close servants made an opinion.
"Young Master, this is a good opportunity, a good stage made in heaven and earth. Now we are retreating everywhere, just ahead. As long as we hold it, the rumors about you will be broken! Then the entire war zone will be visible at that time."
But Alni still had concerns, after all, he had been taking these soldiers for a long time.
"But the soldiers fought hard continuously, I'm worried..."
"Young master, all soldiers can be recruited, as many as you want. There are still many reserve recruits on the ship now. These soldiers have become soldiers after fighting for a long time. This time the tactics are very successful. You can do this later, so that the cannon fodder can stay on the position to attract firepower, and the elites are waiting in the rear, waiting for the enemy's attack to subside before going up to counterattack!"
“Um…”
At that time, Arni did not avoid Olanios when he spoke. The new battalion commander listened to everything, with no expression on his face. He waited for the other party to finish his words and suddenly spoke:
"Can't you see it?"
"What?"
Alni turned his head in surprise.
Olanios just spat on the ground vulgarly, and this action made Alni frown with contempt.
"This landing field has been a trap from the beginning. The Red Pirates will definitely look at it as their lifeblood, but look at the troops that landed, either cannon fodder regiments or a large number of new recruits, only a few main forces of the Star Army."
After hearing this, Arni picked up the data board and looked through it, and found that it was indeed the case. He hadn't noticed it before. The first batch of troops landed were basically cannon fodder corps on the second and even third lines. No wonder it was so easy to retreat again and again, not just because of the Chaos Space Marine.
"Whose trap?"
"Who knows, someone who doesn't take human life seriously, has a very smart abacus. He uses a lot of cannon fodder to restrain the main force of the Red Pirates. As long as they are still breathing, standing here, the Red Pirates will have to mobilize a large number of troops to protect their key weapons factories, so that the landing in other areas will not have such great resistance."
Olanios smiled nervously.
"So it's better that we don't expect any reinforcements. There will probably be no one in 10 hours."
Alni was silent for a moment. He was not a fool. He immediately understood what the other party said. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered:
"Should I withdraw?"
"Young Master, if you retreat like this, it will become a handle for those who are interested to attack you, and we just passed the news of the good news."
Frowning, Alni walked a few steps back and forth in the newly rebuilt command center, and finally looked at Olanios. For some reason, he felt that this special guy might have a solution.
"What do you have any comments?"
"If you retreat like this, the superiors will definitely attack you, but just wait for the next wave of enemies to come. If we don't have enough people to compensate, we have already lost thousands of brothers, right?"
Arni nodded. There were indeed thousands of casualties in the entire regiment, which was only less than an hour.
"The Red Pirates will definitely send Space Marines. At that time, there will be dozens or even hundreds of them. We can't stop it. Now there is a way..."
Olanios walked past the table with a lack of legs, picked up the map buried by the soil on the ground, then shook it and spread it on the table.
"It depends on whether you dare to bet on the team leader."
"What? Which road?"
Olanios's hand drew on the map, and Alni's eyes widened.
The other party means—
forward!
"You said..."
"There was a fortress there before, but now it's gone, and this place has just been bombed by tracks. The Red Pirates' troops must not bet on whether there will be a second time, so it is highly likely that they will go around. They will counterattack on the whole line. It's hard to say how many troops there are left behind. It's unknown, but you can bet. If the Red Pirates don't leave many troops, then from the distance here to the weapon foundry is about 300 kilometers to 400 kilometers. The advantage of our regiment is that there are many cars, and there is no obstacle in the middle. The track bombing happened to blow up a gap in the mountains. If you marching at the extreme, you can get there in about three or four hours."
This plan is bold, very bold, and even in some sense it can be called a suicide operation. An unknown cannon fodder regiment is going to raid a heavily guarded ordnance factory alone, surrounded by hundreds of thousands or millions of defenders.
However, Alni saw the flashing moment of creating war miracles like the Sun Lord. Each of the legendary generals in history had earth-shaking bets, and it was the decisions that almost died and survived ultimately that they could be named after history.
If he dares to come to the battlefield, he is not afraid of gambling!
Arni's fist hit the table hard, and his arms trembled slightly due to excitement. For him, this was much more exciting than sleeping women.
"Okay! Just do that!"
“There is another problem.”
But Olanios immediately poured a basin of cold water on the other party.
"In the process, the enemy only needs one aircraft to immediately discover our movements, so make sure that the sky is clean when marching."
Alni thought for a while and said:
"I have a friend in the Naval Aviation Force, and he can probably help me."
As for what to do after occupying the ordnance factory, Alni didn't even think about it, because all his thoughts are now focused on what to do to become a gamble that uses the lives of the whole group as bargaining chips.
Soon, the order was conveyed. The entire army was ready to set off 20 minutes later. The wounded and the dead were transported to the rear, dragging artillery and other inconvenient equipment to be transported away or directly blown up. Everyone got on the truck and armored vehicles. However, in order to ensure morale, Alni ordered that the soldiers not be told the real destination. They just thought that there were troops coming to change their defenses. They were going to go to a new station to repair. Everyone was ordered to stay in the car, not knowing that they were passing through the bombing area.
