As a traditional imperial officer, Janik Duer, who has fought for thirty years since he was a small nobleman, believes that no enemy cannot be killed by the roar of millions of artillery fire.
Similarly, as a senior commander of the Astral Army, he has faced many enemies, including barbaric greenskins, riot cultists, and occasionally encounters Tyran Zergs, but the battle with these enemies will end in a devastating artillery fire, and each roar of artillery fire will turn any fallen world into a world of fire and smoke that belongs only to the Empire.
However, this was his first battle with the treacherous Aida Spirits. The enemy had extraordinary speed and perception ability, and was always able to know their every move. On the first day of landing, they were terrible ambushed at the landing ground. Within six hours, the entire expeditionary army was killed more than half a million people.
But this cannot stop the power and will of the empire. This beautiful and picturesque world should not be occupied by ugly aliens, it should become a part of the empire.
Janik Duer plans to build a manor in this world after the war, and put some alien skulls or spoils on it. When he retires, he will settle here and share with his descendants the story of his loyalty to the emperor for his life.
Very perfect, provided that these annoying flies must be eliminated first.
Fortunately, the commander of the highest commander of this pioneering expedition, Lord Claudechel Gent Rova, as a planetary governor, prepared sufficient manpower for the expedition. Even the loss of 500,000 troops was only a small part of the expeditionary army. Their real force actually reached 7 million, and there were a large number of heavy weapons and equipment. Although Claudechel Gent Rova did look quite arrogant and extravagant, he had the intention to contribute to the empire and really found such a high-value alien world with no defensive power. This was a merit of "picking up". Perhaps he could also praise him a few words in the future.
After gaining a foothold, the Empire also came up with a way to fight against these cowardly aliens.
They are indeed very fast and elusive, but their offensive is not strong enough, which proves that they are not large in number.
In this case, as long as the Imperial Army advances steadily, the enemy will have no opportunity to take advantage of it. Occasionally, pieces of work cannot pose a threat to the overall Imperial Army. Although they will be very clever in assassinating the Imperial Army commander, the officers will no longer easily emerge on the front line after learning their lessons. They will simply stay in a solid and safe bunker in the rear like Janik, and be escorted by bodyguards for command.
At the same time, in view of the enemy's high mobility and difficulty in aiming, the officers showed the starry army's secret ability - covering shooting.
Simply put, it is to use artillery shells and rockets to push them all the way, and the infantry followed up under the cover of armor. When encountering suspicious targets, they directly fired the volley.
Under such a simple and efficient tactic, the imperial army landed on the core of the enemy made rapid progress in three directions and quickly advanced to the enemy's central area. Although they burned down a quarter of the world's forests and savannas in this process, there was no problem. After all, most officers believed that there were too many trees in this world and they had to be cleaned up sooner or later, so that it would be convenient to build cities and farms in the future.
In their concept, only barbarians like Katachang like the jungle. Civilized people only need the sky, the ocean and the land that can be reclaimed or built is enough. The imperial people should live in steel and rocks. Of course, they can still enjoy the natural scenery, and this world is the best trophy.
60% of this planet outside the Empire Registration is ocean, and the land is divided into three parts. I don’t know where Governor Claudechel got the information from and confirmed the location of the alien central area. Therefore, the attack direction of the imperial army was always very obvious, so they only attacked one of the continents, and pushed towards the core area of ​​the enemy without caring about anything else. Although the aliens of the other two continents were always supporting, they were blocked from the sea and in the air by the empire’s air force and fleet forces.
Victory is already within reach.
"Order to the 112 and 114 Artillery Regiments!"
After putting down the telescope, Janik turned around and shouted at the correspondent beside him, and punched the hard rock that made up the temporary fortification with his fist.
"The 9th Regiment's attack direction, keep a distance of 500 meters, Xu Jin's barrage, height and low, and twenty secret positions to the right. I want to give them a rain of fire without stopping!"
The artillery of both regiments hurriedly obeyed his orders and prepared the reload of the earth-shaking cannon and the petrified lizard's self-propelled cannon.
Soon, the sound of hundreds of shells passing by echoed in the air. Janik could even smell the smell of gunpowder in the wind. He smiled with satisfaction. This was the meaning of war. The smell of gunpowder on the tip of his tongue... nothing could make him feel better than this.
Thinking of this, he touched the thing hanging on his belt with his hand. It was a string of dry pointed ears and soul stones embedded on it. There were twenty. Cut from those ugly alien corpses would be a very interesting spoil for this war.
He picked up the telescope again, adjusting the focal length to look at the possible enemies.
Until now, he had hardly seen a few living elves. He had seen some of the broken corpses. They were roughly imitating the appearance of humans, but the lowly characteristics of the aliens could not be erased.
In the telescope, a tide of green was gradually advancing with huge gray-iron tanks, passing through bombardment areas filled with broken trees and bubbles, screaming as the shells in front of them landed, and then rising columns of smoke and dust rose, stirring various charred tree trunks and soil into the sky.
During this process, you can see flashing bullets shooting out from a distant place, shooting down panicked soldiers.
"I can't believe that the aliens can actually survive under this firepower."
Not far away, a staff officer muttered to himself in surprise as he looked at the bullets shot out from the smoke.
"There is nothing that cannot be believed. Alien always has unexpected cunning methods, but these things that cannot be used on the table can never compete with real steel and flames."
Janik said flatly, and he glared at the staff officer fiercely, then pointed at the other party and scolded:
"Put your mind to me what you should do, rather than the group of wooden aliens who did or did nothing, and order the 4th regiment to follow, and this time they are not allowed to retreat. Either they rush into the woodland wrapped in mysterious powers, or they all die on the road! Tell them, this is my original words! If anyone has any objection, come to the command center to see me immediately!"
