Chapter 974: Undercurrent in the Forest
One hundred thousand orcs easily crossed the battle line and then rapidly approached the predetermined position.
Bachmut's order to these orcs was to capture as many villages as possible and cut off the supply lines of the Wehrmacht.
The Wehrmacht's lightning offensive relied on their powerful firepower.
This means that the logistical supply of the Wehrmacht is very important. Once there is a problem with the logistical supply, the offensive on the front line will inevitably slow down.
But the commander of the Guards Division was not worried, after all, the Qingchi Kingdom had sent more than 30 troops to follow behind.
If these 30 troops cannot deal with the 30 orcs, then what is the point of having these troops?
They should be able to take care of the orcs...right?
After the orcs entered the occupied area, they immediately began their respective combat preparations.
Bakhmut ordered an army of 500 men, with one commander for every 2500 men.
Let these 2500 people control an area the size of a township to prevent information blockage from affecting combat capabilities.
The 100,000-strong orc army entered their respective positions in batches, but they were not in a hurry to launch an attack. Instead, they were waiting for an opportunity.
They are assigning combat tasks at this moment.
At first, the orc commanders thought about capturing the village and forcing the Guards Division to return for support.
But on the way, after taking over these villages, they interrogated the orcs and half-orc captives in the villages.
The orcs learned that the Qingchi Kingdom had sent out an army of 30.
So the orcs immediately gave up the priority of occupying the village, and instead began to prepare the logistics supply lines for the National Defense Forces.
If they only occupied some meaningless villages, they would be eaten away bit by bit by the 30 troops that would arrive later.
Their most important task now is to disrupt the Wehrmacht’s front-line offensive!
Coincidentally, the village where Olivier lived was not far from the front line.
And because it is located on a major transportation route, it was targeted by a 2500-strong Orc Empire army from the very beginning.
But it is impossible for the Orc Empire commander to send all 2500 people to attack this village.
Because the commander received the order to occupy this area.
And the total number of Qingchi army soldiers in this area exceeds 4000.
However, they are scattered in more than ten villages.
As long as they divide themselves into five groups and attack five villages at the same time, they can capture the five villages as quickly as possible.
In this way, the big fish can eat the small fish and minimize casualties!
But in order to quickly capture the transportation hub where Oliver is stationed.
The orc commander sent 800 men to besiege the village.
And because they had just infiltrated, the Orc Empire's weapons and equipment were still in top condition and had not suffered any damage due to the war.
For Olivier, this was a truly fierce battle...
village.
It is already midnight.
Oliver and his men have been digging their positions since they received the order in the evening.
The trenches have basically been dug.
Originally, their company was established according to the Wehrmacht organization, which means a total of 254 soldiers.
However, due to casualties in previous battles, and the fact that they were the fourth company.
So the battalion commander transferred some soldiers from their company to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd companies.
Since the war was not over, the replenishment of troops was delayed.
So much so that the company now only has three platoons.
So this is what Olivier is worried about.
Without enough soldiers, how could he guard the village?
In the trenches.
Some soldiers were sleeping with their AK47s in their arms.
A small number of soldiers served as sentinels, watching vigilantly everything outside the village.
This village has both good and bad sides.
The downside is that the village is located on a large plain.
Almost conspicuous.
But the advantage is also the Great Plains.
The army of Qingchi Kingdom did not replace the new machine guns, that is, they were still using the MG42 general-purpose machine gun.
But the rate of fire has been reduced to 800 rounds.
The rifle used is a weakened version of MG42.
But each squad was equipped with an MG42.
And on such a vast plain, machine guns will become absolute hunters.
Not far from their position.
In the forest to the northwest.
The Orc Empire army has circled back to their northwest.
The orc commander was currently in the forest observing the position in the distance.
After observing through the telescope, the orc commander said with appreciation.
"I have to say, this position they built is really up to standard!"
The adjutant on the side spoke up.
"Our scouts are back. They said that there are too many sentry posts set up by the orcs and they can't get close...
But they captured a villager from a nearby mountain and brought him here!"
After the adjutant finished speaking, the commander looked pleased.
They actually found a villager!
This can be said to be a timely help for them who have no intelligence at the moment.
Soon, an orc boy was brought before the commander.
Looking at the Orc Empire uniforms worn by these soldiers, the orc boy burst into tears instantly.
Finally, the army of my own country arrived.
The commander was not angry because of the boy's crying. Instead, he began to comfort him and calmed him down.
Seeing that the boy's emotions had stabilized, the commander immediately asked.
"How many troops are there in the village?"
After hearing this, the orc boy thought for a while and then spoke.
"There are probably between 100 and 200 people. From what I heard from their conversations, it seems that there is a company commander..."
The orc boy said this seriously, but soon started crying again, then hugged the commander's thigh and said.
"Sir, please help me get revenge. My grandfather and my father were both killed by that company commander!
I have always obeyed the call of the great Emperor Bakhmut, and I am a good citizen!"
The boy spoke with tears in his eyes, but the commander seemed a little impatient at this moment.
He had already asked what he wanted to ask and no longer needed the boy, but he spoke up anyway.
"Got it. When the company commander finishes interrogating me, I'll leave it to you to deal with!"
After the orc commander finished speaking, he gave orders for his soldiers to prepare for battle.
Oliver and his men had obviously dug trenches, which meant they had already known about the arrival of the Orc Empire army.
Not to be missed.
If no attack is launched tonight, Olivier and his men will definitely continue to strengthen the defense line tomorrow.
By that time, this village won't be so easy to capture...
The orc commander immediately ordered the mortar soldiers to set up the mortars and begin shelling the positions.
Olivier, who was looking at a map in the headquarters, had a worried look on his face.
Now that the Orc Empire army has arrived, where will they launch their attack from?
This question troubled Olivier until he saw the forest where he made a living as a child...
I see!
(The love and hate will eventually come to an end (＞﹏＜))
