Chapter 110: Orcs attack the position again
"Immediately send a warning to the surrounding planets. While those high-ranking officials are still here, requisition all spacecraft that can be put into space. Send a message to the Imperial Navy and request that they send ships immediately.
I want every person who can move to build a position for me. Immediately carry out compulsory conscription in the surrounding areas, and pull all men and women to the front line!
We will also concentrate the transportation of materials to Mandakan Main Star and unify the battle line around the low-Earth orbit. The ships will buy time for the ground forces!"
Political Commissar Rutherford issued orders one after another, and commanders at all levels who usually argued with him over tactical arrangements now followed his lead.
After all, they know what is important and what is not. The difference in force between local rebels and orcs is like the difference between gangs and the Ministry of Justice.
Lin Heng could feel the oppressive feeling of impending storm, and the previous rebel positions were also reused by the Star Army.
The iron gate of the quartermaster's office was never closed all day long, and even the quartermaster came out to move supplies.
Weapons and equipment that had never been used in previous battles were now moved to the battlefield in boxes.
If everyone uses these things to fight the rebels, it will probably take less than a day and the battle can be easily ended.
But now, the political commissar is still worried that the firepower is not strong enough.
There was no way, there was not enough time when they returned to Mandakant and passed the message on.
The Star Army warships docked in low-Earth orbit had already engaged in a firefight with the enemy. Lin Heng could even see that the rice-grain-sized beam of light in the sky had ignited something.
But it is impossible to know which side it belongs to.
Lin Heng expressed doubts about the strategic plan, so he asked the political commissar. The answer he got gave him a new understanding of the greenskins.
“To deal with the Orks, they will definitely go to where the battle is most intense, so if you want the people on the planet to survive, you must gather all your strength.
If such a fleet of battleships were to be dispersed, it could have serious consequences for the entire galaxy.
So, at least Mandakhan was destroyed, but Foreman could still fight. They wouldn't fall at the same time."
Lin Heng could hear the political commissar's pessimism, but this was indeed the best solution at this stage.
In the morning, all the soldiers received a very generous dinner, and the political commissar stood on the tank and shouted loudly with his servoskull.
"Now is the moment of life and death. Look up, there is a fierce battle going on in space. Soon the enemy will land on the battlefield. At that time, all you can rely on is your faith in the Emperor!
Come, chant the prayer, show our courage to the enemy, let them know that humans are invincible, let the enemy know that it is because of us that the empire can live forever! "
"Invincible!"
"For the Emperor!"
...
Just like that, amid the roars of the crowd, countless things like fireflies emerged from the fleet in space.
When everyone saw clearly what it was, an indescribable feeling of despair surged into their hearts.
But fortunately, desperation gave rise to the soldiers' madness of fighting to the death.
Hundreds of completely different pieces of metal junk fell from the sky. Their shapes were unique, although they could be seen to have the shadow of some kind of aircraft.
Dakajet, the most common patchwork aircraft used by the Orks.
But they were not as sophisticated as the Imperial vehicles. When they dived together, thick black smoke even covered the sky for a time.
A large number of airplanes made of garbage were suspended by steel cables, and below them were baskets of green-skinned orcs. They descended from space and appeared on land.
Lin Heng knew that they were very crazy, but he never expected that they were so crazy that they didn't even need to install a cabin.
Even when the anti-aircraft guns blew up the plane carrying the orcs, none of the orcs who fell down were wearing parachutes.
Moreover, when the artillery exploded, Lin Heng actually felt that the opponent's roar drowned out the sound of the explosion.
"WAAAAAAGH!"
"Fire!"
Anti-aircraft guns, array artillery, fighter planes, etc., all of them roared and fired ammunition that represented death if the enemy came within the range.
“boom!”
The orc fighter plane exploded in the air, and the broken metal parts even injured the surrounding orcs.
But instead of being afraid, they waved their weapons and roared even louder.
A part of the fighter group immediately began to charge, and those transport troops carrying soldiers.
The cables were cut in mid-air, and dozens or hundreds of orcs riding in metal baskets fell to the ground with a "bang".
They bounced up into the sky, landed on the ground, shook their heads twice, picked up the machetes that fell on the ground, and stood up again.
The one with a pistol is a pistol guy, the one with a machete is a machete guy, the most numerous basic unit among the orcs (holding both means it's a stupid choice...lol)
Afterwards, more baskets were thrown down, and various chariots with four-way ventilation flew out of them. The hideous armor on the body was painted with various colors.
Then many orcs grabbed the speeding chariot as if they were climbing a train, banging on the frame and charging towards the distant position.
Tank? I thought I could just step on the gas to start it.
No matter how many shells were flying towards them, no matter how many of their fellow tribesmen were around them, they were blown to pieces.
They seemed to not care about casualties at all, and rushed forward towards the artillery fire, shouting "WAAAAAAAAGH!"
Commissar Rutherford shouted from the top of the tank, as dozens of servo skulls passed messages back and forth in the position.
"Everyone! Remember military regulations! Never use orc weapons!
Stand firm in your faith, and the great empire will stand at the end of the galaxy!"
Lin Heng was lying on the edge of the trench. The soldiers around him were praying silently. Normally, they only had a quota of three energy magazines, but now it had dropped to one box per person.
Even so, some soldiers were still worried that it was not enough, and Lin Heng looked at the ships that were still transporting the orc soldiers and couldn't help but start to worry about this problem.
But fortunately, as the political commissar said, orcs are born to fight.
Those strange orcs didn't even wait for the follow-up teams. Even if there was only one orc, they would rush towards the position waving swords and guns.
Therefore, a large number of front troops suffered heavy casualties from the bombardment of artillery shells and the dive of fighter planes.
What made Lin Heng astonished was the group of orcs holding completely different guns. More than a dozen of them fired at the same time, and the huge recoil even caused the vehicle to stall.
A huge amount of ammunition suddenly erupted from each orc chariot, and they had to carry bullets, artillery shells, and even multiple rockets onto the battlefield themselves.
And when the tanks above the trench roared, everyone knew that the orc army was getting closer to them.

Then, countless chariots and orcs appeared through the smoke, and the deafening "WAAAGH" sound became clearer.
The mortar company joins the battle. The heavy laser cannon company begins warming up. The twin heavy machine gun company loads its guns.
Everyone was on high alert with fierce looks in their eyes.
Now Lin Heng can already see the orc standing on the roof of the car in the front, waving a machete.
The opponent's exposed upper body was only covered with a "T"-shaped plate armor, and there was not even a helmet on his bald head.
The huge mouth had exposed long teeth and such a ferocious face. Lin Heng was still nervous when he saw it again.
Although the enemy's tank was hit by the tank the next second, three more followed and rushed over.
"boom!"
When the buried mines exploded, all the soldiers seemed to have received orders.
Thousands of laser guns instantly burst out with high-energy beams. If you looked at the dazzling red light from the sky, you would think it was a carpet covering the earth.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"biubiubiubiu!"
Lin Heng pulled the trigger along with the crowd. Explosions, smoke, and beams of light obscured the battlefield. He couldn't even see the situation of the orcs.
When the servoskull boomed "cease fire", they quickly stopped shooting and the battlefield suddenly became quiet.
It was a little too quiet. If Lin Heng had not been able to hear the sound of magazines being changed around him, he would have thought that his ears had been deafened by the artillery fire again.
"Everyone check your ammunition immediately and prepare for the second charge!
Engineers, go ahead and place the explosives immediately! Just throw them on the ground, they will step on them by themselves! "
Lin Heng looked at his ammunition box and found that there were ten magazines in the box, and he had used up three without realizing it. He didn't even realize that he had changed the magazines.
"Damn, damn, you orc, damn, do you want to smoke, Lin Heng?"
Montgomery lay on his back in the trench, gasping for breath and taking out a slightly twisted cigarette from his pocket.
He poked the barrel and blew on it twice, then took a sip after lighting it. Then he handed it to Lin Heng.
"Orc Charge!"
Lin Heng nodded and reached out to take it, but before he could get it, the servo skull exploded again. The two men immediately put down their hands and raised their guns, and the cigarette fell out of thin air, and was then stepped into the mud again.
The entire front line is very long, about 3 or 4 kilometers. When viewed from the sky, it appears to be a bowl-shaped structure.
Those charging orcs just rushed towards the bottom of the bowl all at once. The entire firefighting area was filled with dead orcs and abandoned car bodies after the explosion.
More than ten kilometers away from the battlefield, transport planes were still continuously transporting the orc army to the ground.
One of the figures jumped out of the plane and landed on the ground with a "bang".
When the flying dust settled, an orc who was even more muscular than Ogrin appeared.
A super heavy armored boss, with the Astra Militarum under his feet. A group of ordinary orc bosses will gather around him for protection.
The other person was wearing an unknown but extremely thick metal armor, and the metal claws in his hands were banging. There was also a multi-barreled rotating machine gun installed on it, just like a Gatling gun.
The plate armor is thicker than a human arm, and it seems that even a tank's shell may not be able to break it.
As the other party stood up, he let out an earth-shaking "WAAAGH" roar.
The equally strong orcs around him gathered around him, all roaring to the sky, and an unknown light curtain instantly rushed into the sky.
All the human fighter planes that were hit by the invisible light curtain immediately swayed and lost control as if they had been hit by an electromagnetic pulse, and plummeted to the ground.
