Chapter 631 The war situation took a turn for the worse
"what?"
Enduring the severe pain in his hand, Hartman opened his eyes wide, trying to see clearly what those red objects were.
But their speed was too fast, so fast that they were just a blurry afterimage.
It wasn't until one of them stopped and strangled a fallen soldier's neck with a rope that Hartman finally looked at them——
They were greenskins riding motorcycles and howling constantly. Wherever they went, there was only death and fire.
Their movements were incredibly swift, and their attacks had superhuman strength. Within a few minutes, they wiped out all the efforts of the 114th Infantry Regiment. The machine gun at the front of the vehicle roared like thunder, blasting the fragile body in uniform into pieces.
Bloody fragments.
Under the impact of these mobile forces, the battlefield was quickly divided into countless pieces.
They especially like to use ropes to drag injured soldiers behind. There are several ropes on the back of each motorcycle, and most of them are tied to the remains that have been worn away until only the upper body skeleton is left.
Such a cruel enemy made Hartmann shudder.
"Get in the car quickly!"
Suddenly, a truck drove to the edge of the trench, and the bearded veteran immediately helped Hartman limp onto the back of the truck.
"Sir! Sir! Wait for me!"
The truck started immediately, but Hartman heard a familiar voice with a crying tone. He turned around and saw that it was Shechar, trying to fly towards the truck.
Behind him, a roaring green motorcycle was approaching.
"Quick! Shechar! Quick!"
The truck did not stop, but began to accelerate. Hartman immediately climbed on the back of the truck and reached out to the 17-year-old boy.
"Monitor!"
"Quick! Run as hard as you can!"
The boy tried his best to move his legs, and the green motorcycle was getting closer and closer. Hartman could even see the ugly, grinning face.
When Sechar was still an arm's length away from the truck, Hartmann managed to stretch out his arm a little more.
"Hold my hand!"
At the last moment, the young man touched Hartman's fingertips, but because they were covered in blood, the two sides still could not hold each other.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!"
Watching the young man fall to the ground, and then being run over mercilessly by the green motorcycle, causing a cloud of blood mist, Hartman finally couldn't help but burst into tears——
At this moment, the position they were originally in was still burning.
Armageddon time, July 14, after a full week of mobilization, the current governor of Armageddon, Hermann von Strab, assembled all the mobile forces on the main continent, about five million troops.
, from the four hives around the Ash Plains, Halesridge, Inver
Nass, Attalus, and Acheron attacked separately and launched an offensive campaign aimed at wiping out all the greenskins at the landing site.
The battle quickly evolved into a disaster from the beginning. Due to the influence of some unknown psychic power, radio communications within the planet Armageddon were almost completely interrupted. At the same time, with the arrival of the Shadow Season, Armageddon
The top of the Don continent was completely covered with volcanic ash
Covered, orbital support has been severely curtailed.
Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, there were serious scheduling problems among the four armies that were supposed to attack simultaneously. The Attalus troops were the first to engage the Orcs because they were closest to the landing point.
At first, the Planetary Guard Staff deduced that the number of greenskins would not exceed one million, but in fact, the forces on Attalus encountered more than 10 million greenskins as soon as they opened their eyes.
Although there are indeed not many weapons and equipment available to the greenskins, no greenskin has the courage and cunning of the Bonecrusher. It judged the human attack plan very early, so it decided to concentrate its efforts on defeating one of the main human forces first.
.
Sure enough, in the face of the mighty greenskin army, Attalus's troops only lasted for half a day before completely collapsing. More than 800,000 people were killed. More importantly, a large number of weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the greenskins.
By July 15th, the main legions in the two hive cities concentrated on the front line had not yet learned that a friendly army had been eliminated. They rushed straight to the greenskin landing point according to the planned plan, but they were caught by the enemy's trap to lure the enemy deeper.
strategy, and was eventually pinched from three directions by the greenskins with superior strength.
At this time, the somewhat panicked Planet Governor Hermann von Strab immediately ordered the attack to stop, and all the troops moved closer to each other and defended on the spot.
But it later proved that this was a very fatal decision. If the retreat had been ordered at that time, some of these troops could have withdrawn.
On the night of July 15th, Bonebreaker seized the opportunity and bit the troops in Acheron's nest far away from the friendly forces. However, he did not directly destroy this army, but drove this military zone towards the other two groups that were already there.
A united army.
On the morning of July 16th, the remaining troops of Acheron finally reunited with friendly forces, but their morale was completely defeated. The greenskins followed them all the way, bleeding them like wolves driving sheep, and they were only eighty kilometers away.
The journey was littered with corpses.
By July 17th, the Bonecrushers successfully pinned the enemy to the flat plains of ash, with more than three million human troops surrounded. The Biker Boys and their teams surrounded the enemy and cut off supply lines.
Then the greenskins tightened the encirclement. They used captured human artillery to bombard the panicked defenders in the shrinking encirclement, and mercilessly swept away all moving creatures that tried to break through with firepower.
Until this time, the planet's governor Hermann von Strab still had illusions. He asked the troops in the encirclement to continue to hold on, and threatened to dispatch more troops to give the greenskins a center to bloom.
But the facts once again proved that he was lying.
The surrounded human forces relied on fortifications, artillery, and limited orbital bombardment to persist for three days, and then launched a breakout operation at dawn on July 21.
The strange thing is that this breakout went extremely smoothly, and the greenskins let them go after only a slight resistance.
But just when the human soldiers were ready to run back, an even greater disaster struck.
The greenskins actually used the remains of their starships to piece together more than a dozen giant war machines that were comparable to human Titans. The breakout troops were intercepted and killed halfway, and after half a day of fierce fighting, the entire chain of command was completely shattered.
A terrible escape journey begins.
The soldiers began to flee in an unorganized manner, and behind them were the laughing green motorcycles. They were treated as prey and played with, and how long they could survive depended entirely on whether the beasts behind them got tired of it.
In the end, by the evening of July 25, only a few thousand men and a small amount of armor from the attacking army were able to escape back to the hive. More than five million Armageddon men left their last curses and last breaths in the blood.
On the mottled plains - they are all veteran elites of the local guard, including several Astra Militarum infantry regiments, and a Mechanicum skitarii.
As a result of this disastrous battle, all mobile forces on the main continent of Armageddon were wiped out. In addition to the loss of personnel, almost all armored vehicles and heavy weapons were lost, and most of these weapons fell to the green hands.
The leather on their hands makes them more capable of attacking difficult situations.
Great enhancement.
After learning that the main force had been wiped out, the Planet Governor flew to the Tartarus hive in the subcontinent overnight and ordered all hives in the main continent to stand firm and clear the fields, waiting for reinforcements.
The situation at Armageddon began to deteriorate at an alarming rate——
