Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge - Chapter 442
c442 Landing Battle
This is not the weirdest thing.
What is even weirder is that the missiles fired by the Orks always hit the target inexplicably.
Sometimes a missile is clearly hit by a close-in defense gun.
Logically, with the thin skin and large filling of the Orks’ missiles, even a single shell would destroy them.
But it just resisted and hit the target.
Sometimes the missile can even penetrate the void shield and hit the ship directly.
Is this normal?
Of course not.
This phenomenon is completely inexplicable.
And their junk warships and battle moons.
If other interstellar civilizations take them for research.
They will only find that in their hands, those warships and battle moons will immediately fall apart and cannot operate at all.
But in the hands of the Orks, those rags are the most powerful weapons of war.
“King, what should we do next?”
The goal of the empire is to occupy “Shatuo Star” and eliminate the Orks.
In Maren’s view, this small difficulty naturally cannot stop the empire’s pace.
Li Meng looked at Maren on the side and asked, “What do you suggest?”
Maren pondered and said, “The giant missile launch sites of the Orcs are in various oases. King, I suggest attacking from the ground and eliminating the Orcs in the oases one by one. We can send the Star Army to land from the North and South Poles. In this way, the transport fleet can effectively avoid the attack of the missile launch sites. Once the Star Army lands, the ground battlefield will be in our hands.”
What Maren said is also what Li Meng thought.
In order to ensure that the ecological environment of “Shatuo Star” is not seriously damaged, landing operations are the best way.
Without much hesitation, Li Meng issued a new order.
“Order all ships, the fleet will immediately go to the orbit above the North Pole and wait for the arrival of the follow-up transport fleet!”
Outside, in the dark starry sky, the fleet that was gradually moving away from “Shatuo Star” changed direction again.
The fleet will enter the planetary orbit in the outer space at the North Pole end of “Shatuo Star”.
As Maren said, the north and south levels of “Shatuo Star” are the blind spots of the giant missile launch sites.
Three hours later, the fleet successfully entered the orbit above the North Pole of “Shatuo Star”.
The next step was to wait for the arrival of the transport fleet.
The transport fleet did not keep Li Meng waiting for long. On the second day, the transport fleet arrived at its destination.
In the universe about 1.7 astronomical units away from “Shatuo Star”, purple-red halos suddenly flickered.
A huge fleet then jumped out of the subspace.
With the arrival of the transport fleet, a war began.
Today, a meteor shower fell over the North Pole of “Shatuo Star”.
A huge ship about two kilometers long broke into the atmosphere.
A layer of dazzling fire wall wrapped around the huge ship body.
This process lasted for dozens of minutes.
And over the ice field in the Arctic, dark giant ships appeared one after another.
In the sky within hundreds of kilometers, giant ships can be seen everywhere.
There was no rumbling engine roar, and the giant ships in the sky slowly lowered their altitude.
Finally, they landed on the ice field one by one.
As the transport ship landed on the ice field, the harbor gates on both sides opened immediately.
And extended a huge pedal to contact the ice field.
For a moment, footsteps “clanged”.
Densely packed Star Army soldiers lined up and rushed out of the transport ship from the harbor gate.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the engine.
One by one, Leman Russ tanks, Chimera troop carriers, and Bison armored vehicles drove into the ice field along the pedals.
As the main battle tank of the Star Army, the Leman Russ tank is a tracked armored vehicle.
Its main gun is a 155mm automatic cannon.
There are three 25mm caliber heavy grenade guns on both sides of the track and in front of the vehicle body.
Its fierce firepower is a real mobile firepower fortress.
Chimera troop carriers and Bison armored vehicles are two tracked troop carriers.
They can quickly deploy soldiers to designated combat areas.
In addition, there are a large number of logistics vehicles.
And the larger Basilisk self-propelled artillery.
It has the base of a Leman Russ tank and carries a 225mm caliber cannon.
With the transport ship as the mobile base, a front-line base was quickly formed on the ice field with a radius of 100 kilometers.
Shatuo Star, above the North Pole.
In the orbit of the planet, a huge fleet quietly floated.
In the fleet, one of the warships is the largest.
It is 8.5 kilometers long and is particularly eye-catching in the fleet.
Its appearance is similar to a church, with a lot of golden decorations.
This makes it look not just black.
In the flagship, in the bridge.
Standing in front of the window, Li Meng looked at the Arctic ice field below.
Although far away, he could vaguely see the transport ship landing on the edge of the ice field.
“King, there are five corps of the Astra Militarum landing this time, with a total of 2.5 million people. Each corps has 50 divisions, all of which are mechanized divisions equipped with a large number of armored vehicles. Each corps has about 50,000 Leman Russ main battle tanks and 10,000 petrified lizard self-propelled artillery. Not only that, each corps is also equipped with a certain number of airmen, who can call for air force support at any time, and the firepower intensity is sufficient.”
“King, the oases in the western hemisphere have been locked, and the tactical map has been drawn.”
“The landing troops are ready to go and can advance to the target at any time!”
“No gathering of Ork barbarians was found in the monitored oases!”
Listening to the reports from the technology priests, Li Meng turned around and sat back in the captain’s chair.
Click on the display in front of him.
The blue light flashed suddenly, and a tactical map appeared in front of Li Meng.
“Notify the ground forces, the first corps advances southwards and destroys the Ork tribes passing by, the second corps and the third corps advances southwestwards, the fourth corps and the fifth corps advances southeastwards and destroys all enemies along the way!”
With Li Meng’s order, the ground forces began to attack from all sides.
In the forward base, there was a sudden commotion.
Snowflakes rolled on the ice field, and a large number of Bison armored vehicles and Chimera troop carriers loaded with soldiers attacked their respective targets in divisions.
Each team had nearly a thousand vehicles.
Looking around, it was shocking.
When leaving the ice field, the Star Army faced an endless desert.
When they arrived in the desert, the battle was imminent.
It was a new day again.
In the western hemisphere of Shatuo Star, in a desolate desert.
The sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sun was spreading across the earth.
Originally, this was a dead land, a forbidden zone for life.
For years, or even decades, no living creatures would appear.
But today, a sudden roar of engines broke the tranquility of this world.
In the distance, a wave of sand was sweeping in.
Nearly a thousand armored vehicles were running in a relatively flat desert.
Wherever they passed, the tracks rolled up yellow sand.
