Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"You don't need to do anything special, but first, we have to gather people, reorganize into groups, sort out the scattered forces in our hands, and condense them into a powerful force that can be used on the battlefield. ”

William nodded. What Zhan Wu said is necessary. Today's grouping is extremely arbitrary. Soldiers mainly form their own tactical teams based on their own preferences and habits, and then organize the team as a whole. In the name of accepting orders from the master of Oak Pavilion, this combination is just right for Oak Pavilion, whose main task is surveillance, because this method of detachment can maximize the combat effectiveness of the team. The combat effectiveness of a five-person team and a ten-person team The force will become stronger.

The regional leader only needs to issue tasks at the appropriate time and ensure that the entire area is always under the watchful eye of Alaitok, which is enough. But such a random combination is not enough to form enough power on the battlefield. In a battle of hundreds or thousands of people, such a structure seems a bit too loose and not enough to condense into a powerful force. strength.

"Then it's my business."

Even though most of the warriors gathered in the Oak Court area are rebellious rangers, they are still outstanding warriors among Alaitok. There is no doubt that these people are trustworthy.

In just three days, the warriors gathered around Oak Pavilion returned to the camp and accepted William's regrouping. As a result, the Eldar army, which had reached 500 people, appeared in Li's camp. before.

"As far as the army is concerned, the attack power of the legion in our hands is sufficient, but the defense power and attack ability are somewhat weak." Li frowned, "Such a battle is not easy to fight."

"Isn't it? It's either a ranger, a fanatical avenger, or the Black Death. With such a combination, the long-range attack power is absolutely sufficient, but it cannot withstand the enemy's frontal charge." Elizabeth also sighed at the side , "It's okay to defend the city. The protection of the city wall can make up for the weakness in protection to some extent. But if we give up our advantage and rush out to fight with the enemy in the field, then we will be the ones who are finished, right?"

Regarding this situation, Li could only sigh and said: "You are right, this is the reality."

This is really a nonsense reality. The Spirit Tribe people have powerful long-range firepower, but they dare not rush out to fight the enemy in the field!

But for the world that Li lives in today, this is what war is like. In the modern wars on the earth where Li once lived, almost all battles were resolved by firearms. Long-range firepower determined everything. Almost all weapons pursued farther, more accurate, and more powerful. From short-range pistols, medium- and long-range firearms, to precise strikes from beyond-visual-range missiles, in the past on the earth, cold weapons had almost withdrawn from the stage in real battles, and the opposing sides on the battlefield were also far away from each other. Getting further and further away, it is almost impossible for people to have close combat opportunities.

But it is completely different from the world that Li once lived in. The wars in this world still involve disputes between spears and shields.

If you want to think carefully about the reason, it probably comes down to the fact that the long-range weapons in this world are not powerful enough, but the various armor technologies are ridiculously strong. If you use ordinary gunpowder firearms to shoot at the powered armor of the Space Marines, the result will be It just doesn't penetrate the armor. The bullet can only make a "ding, ding, ding" impact sound when it hits the armor. It bounces off and doesn't penetrate. Even if it is shot at close range, the result is no different. This is a big problem for the gun owner. It feels like shooting at the tank armor with a pistol. Such an attack is completely futile in the face of solid armor.

Of course, the shuriken gun is much more powerful than ordinary gunpowder weapons, but in the final analysis, the shuriken gun shoots just pieces of flickering darts. This thing can easily separate a fragile person. Corpse, but if it is used to hit tank armor, the result will not be much better than a pistol. It will not wear the same thing!

The bottom line is that the long-range attack power is not enough to break armor.

There are things with really high attack power in this world, but apart from giant cannons, heavy weapons, and orbital bombers, most of the weapons with high attack power are melee weapons. The Eldar Wail The Banshee's Executioner Sword can easily cut off the barrel of a main battle tank; and a strong orc, after being beaten to pieces by fierce firepower, may still be able to stand up and continue to charge, and some even some orcs He was blown away by the basilisk's cannon. After landing, he just rolled over and then stood up and continued charging. It seemed like nothing happened. But if this orc was hit by the chain sword, his flesh and blood would probably be scattered everywhere, and then he would lie down and die.

Therefore, in this world, the battlefield must not only have long-range firepower attackers who are good at long-range weapons, sniping from long distances, and suppressing the enemy, but also need to be able to charge quickly and kill opponents with powerful blades and close combat. , a melee charger who quickly kills enemies and completely destroys their morale.

Li's current army list obviously lacks the latter type of combat power. If he really wants to use this kind of troops to fight the enemy in the field, he will probably first lead the Ling clan people to cover the enemy with fierce long-range firepower, and then use all kinds of impenetrable weapons. , the Chaos Space Marines swarmed forward, and in the end the Eldar bean sprouts were completely defeated.

The result is very likely that a group of Eldar armed with ferocious long-range weapons will be chased all over the mountain by a group of Chaos Space Marines wearing heavy armor, holding chain swords and sabers.

So in this world, pure long-range weapon attacks will be completely defeated by the enemy's melee weapons! Unless it is like the National Defense Force, which uses a large number of soldiers and long-range weapons that far exceed the enemy's number to completely submerge the enemy in a sea of ​​laser beams and heavy weapons.

However, Li did not have a military force that far exceeded the enemy's number. If his combat power far exceeded the opponent's, Li would not have to worry so much and could just crush him with his army.

However, this does not mean that victory cannot be achieved, but it only requires a good opportunity, excellent terrain, and a perfect ambush. Li is confident that he will completely defeat the enemy.

The simplest way is to prevent the enemy from easily approaching our soldiers and create a distance that prevents the enemy from getting close. They can only be forced to use long-range firepower to confront our soldiers.

So Li started rummaging around on the terrain map. He needed a perfect terrain, but in reality, everything would not go as planned. The nature of Eden could not specially provide Li with a terrain that satisfied him, so Li finally We chose a relatively good terrain about a day's march away from the Chaos Camp. We only need to let the Bonesingers bring the spirit stones and slightly process the local terrain to form a perfect Jedi. Once chaos steps into it, there will be absolutely no life or death.

So the tactics were simply designed into three steps. The first step was to set up a trap and make a good pocket; the second step was to introduce chaos into the pocket; the third step was to tie the pocket tightly and eliminate all the chaos.

"This 'pocket' is really good. It makes perfect use of the terrain. If Chaos falls into such a terrain, they will really be in trouble. But can the Bonesinger complete this project?" Elisa Bai looked at the buildings and rows of spiritual bone walls that Li used his spiritual energy to outline on the three-dimensional terrain map, and asked doubtfully: "It seems that the amount of the project is not small. If such a project is really to be completed, it shouldn't be that big." Will it be a matter of time?”

"The problem shouldn't be big. In fact, such a set of projects only looks grand, and the actual amount of the project is not large." Li pointed to several places on the terrain and said: "The few places here are actually There is no need to build a wall, you just need to make an appearance. It is mainly for intimidation. Although these places are also gateways, they are relatively far away, so once the commander of Chaos finds out that he is surrounded, he will definitely not They will choose these two passes as a breakthrough point. During construction, they only need to make a rough prototype. I have carefully observed the work of these Bonesingers in the past few days. It is not difficult to complete such a job. ”

Li's conjecture was soon confirmed. A Bonesinger who was summoned gave the time required for the project, "Two days, with the number of Bonesingers in the camp now, it will take two days to complete the battle." The project described by Mr. Wu will take us two days, of course, this means that we will not be disturbed. "

Li nodded. Now the question is, how can we ensure that the Bonesinger will not be disturbed? After all, Chaos' military strength was only a day's march away from the location chosen by Li. Chaos only needed a patrol team to pass by the area to hear the high-pitched singing of the Bonesingers.

This kind of behavior is equivalent to carrying out construction projects under the nose of Chaos. Once discovered, Chaos only needs to pull out a group of soldiers to slaughter these Bonesingers who have almost no ability to defend themselves. After all, the Bonesingers He only carries musical instruments and spiritual stones with him, and even if he has weapons, they are only small daggers, shuriken pistols and other light weapons.

However, this kind of problem is not a problem for Li. What Li is good at is disappearing under the nose of the enemy. Before, Li just made himself disappear, but now he just made a group of people disappear.

"We just need to get them to turn their attention in another direction. We need to use a location to firmly attract the attention of the Chaos Legion to cover the Bonesinger's project."
