Chapter 217 Research upgrade, extraordinary first battle

"The fourth battalion on the front line has lost a total of 450 people and seven people have died so far, 360 people have been injured, and 72 people have been seriously injured..."

Listening to the results of the battles reported by the front line, Gu Deen felt a little distressed.

After three days of fighting, the four battalions of the Qingyuan army alone lost so many people, almost half of the battalion.

You must know that the equipment equipped by soldiers fighting on the front line, whether it is weapons or protective equipment, is all first-class.

But under such circumstances, the size of the 4000-man army was stunned by one-tenth of the number, which shows the intensity of the battle on the front line.

Moreover, the losses of the Qingyuan Army were already like this, not to mention the losses of other troops, especially the ordinary defenders of the Empire. According to intelligence sources, the number of casualties was at least more than 15.

This is still the number of losses in the case of superior combat, which is already so terrifying.

After the battle of the undead is over, the next step is to face the attack of the orcs. In order to make up for your loss of numbers, he dispatched another battalion to Duanmai for support.

And an additional batch of recruits was transferred to make up for the loss gap of the four battalions.

The withdrawal of troops from the Broken Pulse Fortress is expected to take at least ten days to complete the evacuation work.

And this also means that the remaining defenders must also guarantee the mission of breaking the pulse for ten days.

As the evacuation continues, the number of defenders of the Broken Vessel will decrease, and the defense will become more and more difficult.

At the same time, it is also extremely important for the support and supply tasks of the defense line.

Since the start of the battle in February, Gudn has placed more importance on the transport and delivery capabilities of the vehicle. With the full-load operation of thousands of miles, many problems that have not occurred in the past have also appeared one after another, and they need to be solved and improved.

Although railroad tracks have been laid in the territory, large-scale transportation and transfer work can be carried out, but on ordinary roads outside the railroad tracks, active trucks have shown that it is a bit difficult.

Fortunately, the progress of the new magic truck is also rapidly advancing the test, and related research has continued, and the first batch of vehicles have been put into the test in the last two days.

For different transport trucks, the research department has also proposed different versions of ideas for different occasions and Gudern.

A light truck with a load of six tons upgraded from the original foundation, a newly developed heavy truck with a load of [-] tons, and a semi-trailer with a load that can be customized later, with a load of at least [-] tons.

Three types of trucks, among which the heavy truck is a key project and will mainly serve in the military in the future, while the semi-trailer head is the mounting module required for production according to the situation, and can be used to transform it into a missile launcher when necessary of.

Judging from the current test situation, the effects of the three test vehicles are all good, and the production line is also being arranged.

Among them, the existing truck production line is given priority to be transformed into a heavy-duty truck production line. As the main vehicle of the next generation, heavy-duty trucks naturally need to be taken care of.

While transforming the production line, it is also expanding the scale of the production line, thereby increasing the quantity of mass production.

The original production line already had a production plan, but it was temporarily put on hold due to the task of the new generation of research.

Now that the upgrade task has been completed, a larger production quantity is also required to quickly replenish the required quantity.

Based on the current production line expansion, it is estimated that the production quantity of heavy trucks can reach more than [-] vehicles per day.

Although it is only three times larger than the original production line, the performance of the truck has taken a qualitative leap.

And the transformation speed can be completed within two days, and put into production, it can catch up with the withdrawal of troops from the northern border this time, so as to test its large-scale stress test tasks while using it.

At the same time, the daily production speed is not fixed. If the follow-up response is good, it will be optimized and upgraded to further expand the production speed.

In addition to transportation upgrades, Gooden also attaches great importance to the support upgrades of vehicle-mounted heavy firepower.

Although the troops on the front line are currently equipped with a batch of armored trucks and heavy machine guns as fire support, judging from the current scale of operations, this firepower seems a bit stretched.

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of legions are fighting. This kind of heavy machine gun support can only achieve a certain suppression ability on the point-to-point battlefield, but it is difficult to affect the entire front of the battle.

Therefore, the upgrade of vehicle-mounted heavy weapons must be developed towards stronger weapons. The current plans include tanks, the king of the land, and armored vehicles equipped with stronger weapons.

However, with the research and upgrade arrangement of stronger weapons, Gudeen also had a whim. The magic technology in his hands is becoming stronger and stronger. The development of such heavy weapons can indeed help, but the limitations it brings must be very large.

After all, the combat power of individual soldiers in this world is not balanced at all. If there is such a thing as a tank, if there is no protection and cooperation, it will be a proper iron coffin.

The support of this thing as a heavy weapon is not bad, but if you want to charge first and attack first, the road construction in this world is not so developed, and the tens of tons of steel giants, traveling is a problem.

What's more, when attacking a city, it may have a good fire suppression effect outside the city, but after entering the city, the narrow roads and winding streets will make it self-closing.

For this situation, Gu Deen has a new idea, that is to directly study the mecha!

The battlefield on the Chenxi Continent still needs to rely on higher-level combat personnel to determine the outcome of a war. Large-scale group tanks are difficult to deal with in the face of extraordinary people, whether it is mobility or firepower. It poses a threat.

However, if high-level fighters or master-level fighters wear magic mechas and cooperate with various modern weapon technologies, not only can they flexibly provide heavy fire support on the battlefield, but they can also perfectly display their strength on various terrains. .

And the most important thing is that the magic mecha can be regarded as a kind of equipment. When it is equipped with high-level soldiers, it is not a problem to fight across classes. It can perfectly and quickly make up for the lack of middle combat power in Qingyuan City. .

The current combat power situation in Qingyuan City is very extreme. The high-level combat power is simply a supernatural start, while the low-level combat power is composed of ordinary people and some awakened and elementary fighters.

Although there are still many high-level and even master-level soldiers, they are still too few for the overall number of troops.

And the magic mecha is very interesting just thinking about it. After all, that man doesn't like mechas?What's more, the mecha is powered by magic. After such a double superposition, Gudn is also very much looking forward to whether this thing will appear.

In terms of resources for this research task, it is almost the same as the research of aircraft, which is equivalent to the development of a key project.

As for the tank, although there are many defects, it has not given up on research and development, but the personnel and resources invested are naturally not as many as the two research projects of mechs and aircraft.

……

Broken Pulse Fortress.

After resting for a day after the destruction of the undead army, the scouts released to Broken Vein Canyon sent back information about the orcs.

"The orc camp outside the canyon has begun to mobilize troops. They have the intention of marching towards the fortress. The number is huge. It is estimated to exceed 150 million people. There will be more troops in the future, which cannot be ascertained for the time being."

In the combat command room above the city wall, the information sent back was immediately handed over to the coalition forces.

The orc's attack was also within everyone's expectations.

After all, the first move consumed such a large amount of resources, and the orcs would not continue to watch the supply of Broken Pulse Fortress replenish again.

However, everyone also knew that the attack of the orcs this time would definitely cause battle damage above the extraordinary level.

In the previous confrontation with the undead, both sides were waiting to find a chance for the other to make a move, but the orcs did not expect that the other party would deal with the undead army without dispatching supernatural powers.

But the coalition forces didn't expect that the orcs didn't take action to intercept the rocket attack. In this case, both of them were hiding their hands, and the stage of the extraordinary confrontation was abruptly delayed.

"The orcs will not launch a simple offensive like the undead, and now that the defense force of the defenders is weakened, everyone must be prepared for a bloody battle."

After looking at the information briefing, Hogz said to a group of imperial officers, and then looked at Buniton of the Qingyuan Army.

"This time, the Qingyuan army will still do the second-line long-distance attack. In terms of long-range output, you are still the main force, but the front defensive position will be handed over to the imperial army to defend."

"No problem. In addition, a battalion has been added to the front line. They can do support tasks. If there is a battle over there, they can go to help."

"Okay." Hogz nodded in agreement. He was also very clear about the strength of the Qingyuan Army. With a battalion-level support, it would be of decisive help on the battlefield.

To deal with the battle of the orcs, Broken Pulse Fortress had already established a complete system, and after a brief discussion, it quickly began to arrange the preparation process.

Even with the addition of the Qingyuan Army and the Third Royal Army, it did not disturb the overall defense deployment much.

The news that the orcs were about to attack quickly spread to the entire fortress, and everyone also made defensive tasks according to the pre-prepared arrangements.

In the war to attack Broken Pulse Fortress, the orcs have been attacking for hundreds of years, and the defense of the empire has been upgraded for hundreds of years. Both sides are already very familiar with each other.

After receiving the news that the orc army was dispatched, it was already possible to calculate how long it would take for the opponent to arrive on the battlefield.

Things like attacking the Duanmai city wall will inevitably carry a large number of engineering equipment, all of which are behemoths tens of meters long.

Carrying these giants forward, without the aid of mechanical power, is pushed by pure brute force.

Therefore, the speed of marching will naturally be much slower, but in the past when the orcs were dispatched, they would always send a frontline troop to set up camp five or six kilometers away from the Duanmai city wall.

But this time the opponent did not have this choice, and the reason is not difficult to guess. The coverage and destruction of artillery and rockets are too deterrent for them.

It will take at least a day for the orc army to reach the fort from the broken vein entrance on the other side.

As time passed bit by bit, the million-level orc army finally stopped at a place [-] kilometers away from the Duanmai city wall to stay.

Judging from the extraordinary and legendary joint investigation, the number of orcs on this expedition exceeded 250 million, and there are still longer and continuous armies gathering behind.

This amount of attacks, even in previous historical battles, is the first time.

If the total strength of the two sides is brought together, the number has exceeded 500 million. Such a large-scale battle is the first time for both sides.

Although this garrison distance is outside the range of the artillery, it is still within the range of the rocket launcher. Faced with such a good opportunity, after discussing with the officers of the Imperial Army and the Qingyuan personnel, they decided to directly attack in advance.

The ready-made rocket launchers fired at full power as soon as an order was issued, and hundreds of rockets flew straight into the sky towards the orc camp that had not yet been fully set up.

But when the rockets reached the sky above the orc camp, a burst of extraordinary power suddenly exploded, and the volley directly intercepted and detonated all the shells.

Hundreds of flames suddenly exploded in the sky, forming a unique 'firework'. Seeing that the current sneak attack failed, the Empire and Qingyuan were not surprised.

It was within their expectation that the opponent's supernatural attack would intercept such a thing. If the opponent did not make a move, then the rockets would at least be able to delay the opponent's assembly time for half a day.

This is undoubtedly a very favorable attack for the empire that needs evacuation time, but it is normal if it is intercepted.

However, the rockets intercepted by the orc's extraordinary were not stopped in vain. Dozens of figures sprang out of the fort in an instant, and their auras were all above the extraordinary level.

There are even three of them, who are at the legendary level!

These are all the top combat power of the empire, and at the same time, twenty figures also flew out of the orc camp, two legends, and 22 extraordinary!
"Finally can't help but take action?"

Facing the inquiry from the empire, the orcs did not speak, but just stared at each other coldly.

"Be a dumb person? Then be a dumb person!"

The legend of the empire let out a cold snort, and directly launched an attack.

And the other extraordinary and legends behind or beside him also attacked the orcs at the same time.

The rocket attack was just a 'first shot' to detonate the occupation in advance, and it was impossible for the empire to let the orcs gather their troops to attack safely.

If the first ring is intercepted, then attack directly above the extraordinary, thus interrupting the orc's offensive rhythm.

The sudden extraordinary battle caused an instant energy explosion over the battlefield, and the gale formed by countless aftermaths blasted out huge ruins and caves on the surrounding ridges or the ground.

Fighting in this small area, the superimposed destructive power of the two sides changed the terrain of the entire battlefield once. The ground that was slightly hard before became very soft at this moment, and compared with other places, it sank by at least half a meter.

The energy fluctuations at the intersection of the extraordinary and the legendary also drove the huge roar to continuously echo between the canyons, extending a distance of hundreds of kilometers.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, the battle between the two sides did not fully erupt. With the legendary strength, even in a one-on-one situation, under the full-scale eruption, the surrounding area within several kilometers can be instantly reduced to powder and destroyed.

Coupled with the mobility of the two sides, a battle must cover at least a distance of hundreds of kilometers.

However, although the empire's shots are limited, the main purpose is to force the opponent's camp to retreat, and every attack is directed towards the opponent's camp.

After understanding the empire's intentions, the orcs had no choice but to issue a retreat order in the face of a large number of people, moving the army's position back ten kilometers, and changing the distance between the two sides to thirty kilometers.

After getting the orcs to retreat, the empire stopped.

Although the battle only broke out for a short while, there were still three deaths and six injuries.

Two orcs died, two were injured, and the empire died one and injured four!
