Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 90

Chapter 90, Ground Attack

Hang suddenly felt a palpitation.

He stood up from his seat and went to the window to look out.

From here, the specific situation of the battlefield could not be seen, but the angry sound of heavy artillery could be heard across half the city.

He already knew that Grit had rushed over there with the extremely combat nuns. Logically, there shouldn’t be any problems.

However, Gu Hang could not ignore his previous restlessness.

He was a psychic, and intuition was a real sign of something that was about to happen most of the time.

Gu Hang was still uneasy when he heard the sound of artillery continue.

Instead of entangled here, it is better to go there in person and find out.

Gu Hang set off.

In addition to setting off, he also sent a message, hoping that the Phoenix Regiment, who had found a random place to rest in the city, would rush over as soon as possible.

This was still a mission request. In his words, Sister Grit might be in trouble.

I believe he had an affair with the nuns in the past… Oh, no, it was the captain of the Martins regiment who had fought side by side with them. He would not sit idly by.

Anyway, they were idle anyway.

…

Gu Hang rushed over very quickly. With a thought, he flew into the air.

This is the advantage of psychics.

When he arrived at the scene, Lambert, Perbov, Grit and others had already started the ground attack for a while.

The previous rounds of artillery fire had thrown more than a hundred heavy artillery into it. The entire factory area was not a ruin, but it was not much different. According to their assessment, under such circumstances, the non-professional soldiers and workers who were only temporarily armed had not only suffered heavy casualties, but their morale should also be about to collapse.

The next thing was that the infantry, led by the combat sisters, entered and cleaned up the battlefield. No matter who died, the living ones were taken out as prisoners and thrown into the prisoner-of-war camp. It was not the army’s business to see how to arrange the follow-up; those who still resisted stubbornly should of course be shot.

According to Perbov’s idea, this should be a very easy operation.

Sure enough, all fear comes from insufficient firepower.

Without this kind of heavy artillery that can directly damage concrete and cement structures, relying on the previous 60mm mortars, grenades, rifles… If you want to take down the current factory area, even if the opponent is just some armed workers, you may have to pay a lot of lives.

And now, just using the ten captured 155mm heavy artillery, this battle is so much easier.

You can use a big bomb to bombard him for more than ten rounds, and then the infantry will go up to clean up the battlefield. Who is willing to fill the trenches with their lives?

Otherwise, artillery is the god of war.

However, before entering, Grit warned him and the battalion commander of the 6th Battalion.

“Don’t let your guard down, there are still strong enemies inside.”

“There are still strong enemies?” Perbov was a little unconvinced at the time. What strong enemy could be stronger than a 155mm howitzer?

Then, he remembered the heroic appearance of the Phoenix and the Holy Lilies on the battlefield.

Uh…if there is an enemy of this level, it seems that it is really not possible.

If someone else said it, he would not believe it, but the one who said it was this gentle and powerful head nun.

So he still believed it.

Perbov discussed with the commander of the 6th Battalion and decided not to throw all the troops in at once. Although they only had 600 people in total, which was not enough for this large-scale factory area, they would rather go slowly and be cautious.

They each sent out a company to enter first.

When the company entered, they were divided into teams and were responsible for advancing; the distance between the teams was relatively wide, and each team would be divided into three groups to sweep the semi-ruined factory area.

At the request of the officers, the soldiers crouched and used the ruins as cover. They moved forward slowly and cumbersomely, but very solidly. They would not move forward easily before thoroughly confirming that an area was safe.

As a result, there were really enemies.

Moreover, these enemies had a very strong will to resist.

Those guys wearing workers’ clothes and holding weapons that were not much better than iron pipe rifles emerged from the ruins.

When they emerged, they were usually only about 30 to 50 meters away from the soldiers who were searching forward, which was not far.

After coming out, they used their weapons to fire a volley of bullets at a group of infantry.

The soldiers reacted quickly, and they quickly lay down and looked for cover. The marksmanship of those armed workers was not very good, and most of them missed their shots. If they were really shot, the plastic steel armor on their bodies could save their lives.

While one group of soldiers was suppressed, another group of three people not far away would immediately launch a counterattack.

Relatively speaking, the soldiers under Gu Hang’s command were much better at shooting than the armed workers. The performance of the G9 assault rifle was far more reliable than the weapons in the hands of the armed workers.

The three people could kill all the armed workers who appeared with a single round of bursts.

After completing the killing, they did not put down their guns, but continued to aim the muzzles at the place and made tactical gestures to the group of soldiers who were suppressed before.

The three people quickly got up and went to the location of the target who was shot.

They wanted to confirm the results of the battle and see if there were any remaining enemies. If there were any enemies who were not dead, they would shoot them. The three who completed the killing provided them with fire cover. If an enemy shows up, they will immediately launch a fire attack.

Not far away, Grit, who was about to attack, lowered her gun.

Her eyes were even a little surprised.

The performance of these soldiers was beyond her expectations.

Before, she had not paid much attention to the combat status of these ordinary infantrymen under the governor. Although the individual equipment on them looked very similar to that of the regular army of the empire – G-type rifles and plastic steel vests. But this can only be regarded as the most basic cannon fodder equipment.

Logically speaking, the squad should not only be equipped with mortars, but also may need a few LR-type laser guns and HS-type electromagnetic rifles; simple fragmentation grenades may not be enough. Even if they can’t take out hot melt bombs and compressed energy bombs, they should at least get more rocket launchers.

Even if they are pure light infantry, the equipment of these infantrymen under Governor Gu is a bit far behind.

But this is understandable, forgivable, and even admirable. At least, His Excellency the Governor has been working hard to make his armaments closer to the Star Army. What else can he ask for?

However, when the real battle started, the combat quality and performance of these soldiers were impressive.

Although their equipment was not adequate, their training level was like that of a regular Star Army unit.

Even Grit could not underestimate such a team.

With the help of these people, she felt that she and her sisters could relax a little.

But just when she was thinking this, something strange happened!
