Chapter 307: Fetch (on)

The sky was covered with bruise-like ochre, and the faint sunlight was filtered into a disgusting yellow after penetrating the sky polluted by heavy dust.
Some people say that Arkham is a wounded city, wrecked by human greed, and the strong wind blowing the dust cloud is like crying for the earth, crying for the barren nature and ruthless industry.
Brigadier General Francis Townsend Dude of the New California Republic wiped the dust off the telescope with a silk towel, looking at the dark sky and sighing.
The Minister of National Defense assured him that the national reserve has already been mobilized, but this is only a small consolation, because even if the regular army of the whole country is mobilized now, it will take at least two months, but the current situation of Arkham is comparable Several cultist invasions have been more severe.
General Du De, who rode on the war horse, took a deep breath and looked back at the fortress that stood above the plain. His breath and the gusting wind were interweaving feedback, like rough metal rubbing against each other.
The Gordon Fortress was established a decade ago and is a new batch of modernized fortresses in the Republic. Unlike old-style fortresses, its main materials are concrete and steel bars. During construction, more attention is paid to the details of standardization and standardization. The number of triangular fortresses has been reduced to a minimum. Barbed wire and defensive trenches have increased, while the number of hidden machine gun bunkers has reached a new height of 72.
The average thickness of the fortress concrete wall is 2.5 meters, and the key position is even more than 4 meters. It can withstand the continuous bombardment of 210 mm howitzers. At the same time, the counterattack firepower of the fortress includes hundreds of cannons of 120 mm, 150 mm, and 210 mm. The contemporary did not dare to say that it was the strongest, but the attacker had to pay at least five times more to be able to fall.
The fortress is also equipped with five steam-powered power generation equipment, water pumps and searchlights, and the food reserve is at least enough to defend the army for six months.
At that time, due to serious budget overruns, even caused a lot of controversy in Congress, but the project was successfully completed.
However, this kind of copper wall does not give Du De peace of mind. As a senior general, he has also been concerned about the rise of Oak, especially in the two Aswan Wars. He has discussed with his friends in many salons. He also has first-hand knowledge of the fortress, even more than most people know.
In terms of the garrison's strength and firepower, Aswan is several times as large as Gordon, but under such circumstances, it is still crumbling under the impact of Ok, and eventually destroyed.
Du De is not without research on the combat mode of Ok.
They are not simply barbarians. From the first cold weapon attack to the second heavy fire attack, their time is scary. They pay attention to the number and firepower. The large and messy infantry cannon ash is their main force. And as their highest commander, Guk, is a cunning and changeable guy.
To resist such a force, a high wall is indispensable, but Gordon Fortress has everything, that is, there is no wall that can trip the other side.
The design of the entire fortress revolves around using humans as opponents. This close-range combat is not considered in it. In a sense, firepower is the wall of the fortress.
But is the firepower enough now?
Du De did not have much confidence. Aswan didn't do it. He didn't think Gordon could do it.
Thinking of this, his gloved fingers touched a whole row of medals and medals hanging on the chest of his coat, and touching these old honors made a smile of pain on his face.
It wiped out a large number of cultists entrenched in the Echo Cave, suppressed a large-scale worker uprising, defeated two Harpy hunter groups, and captured a Harpy bastion...... These are the glory of his military career At the moment, those wars have various glory and great deeds, like a melting pot, casting him from a fragile and fearful person into a warrior composed of steel and courage.
But this war is different, this is not in some remote corners, fighting in some areas occupied by cultists and monsters, this is fighting on the industrial core of Arkham, Essex, this is him Defense zone.
Speaking of this war, Du De really felt no warning. A large group of Oak, still in the sinister wilderness, suddenly jumped out of the Howling Mountains and ran directly to Arkham.
Suddenly, Dude shivered because he remembered that he was standing in an anatomy room to watch the samples brought back by the scout that the technician showed him.
He had seen picture books of such monsters in the literature and read their records in the report, but these did not help the impact on him at that moment.
Dude stared at the dead eyes of Ok.
Calling it a humanoid would be a satire and an insult to human biology. It is a rickety, long-legged beast with swollen arms and tangled muscles, an ugly head in the middle of two broad shoulders, growing like Tree-like strong neck.
Its skin is like old leather, almost completely disgusting green, huge teeth protruding from its lantern-like chin, round red eyes squeezed on both sides of the monkey-like nose, the thick oblique skull There seems to be no room for the brain in it. Although it used to carry a bulky and crude original gun, when referring to the gadget, scientists would scratch their bare head with confusion, claiming that it was just a bluff. Impossible to use.
And this is the enemy he has to face.
At the beginning of Ok's invasion, a large number of scouts were scattered in the wilderness, and the latest information was delivered to his hands every hour.
Du De clenched his fists. He remembered the long and frustrating days. He was watching the green skin steadily progressing on his map in the command room, just like a surgeon watching the malignant disease on the patient. spread.
Finally, he was determined not to wait any longer, and there was no time for him to wait any longer. Through intelligence, he already knew that the forces of Oak had dispersed, and that their leaders were now heading straight for the fortress. This was an opportunity, and he was determined to desperately cut off the world. This evil-at least slow it down.
Aqam’s evacuation continued, but at that time it was strictly said that it was already an undefended city, and all government agencies left as soon as possible. The panicked people also rushed to flee, which gave Dude a Opportunity to shrink troops.
He planned to give the so-called King of Oak a head-on attack, and then turned and evacuated from the northern part of the city to meet the 7th Infantry Division in Cadillac, the capital of Essex, where he really wanted to die.
Du De wiped the dust and mist from his telescope again, watching the wind blow through the mountains around him.
The crops have just been planted, and fresh vegetation trembles in the wind, which is also in line with Dude's plan. Large plantations are scattered all over Arkham, creating a maze of valley views.
This is also where Oak's rampage is about to stop.
Du De wants to use these valleys. His main infantry regiment is hidden in the hills. A good road passes through the gaps between the hills.~EbookFREE.me~ This planned a railroad, which also leads directly to Go The nearest route to the fortress.
"King of Ok..."
Du De smiled. He watched this alluring road. It was wide, strong, and could pass through large machinery. He had already learned from intelligence that there were heavy artillery clusters in the Oak forces.
The engineers under him set up minefields on several kilometers of roads. At the entrance of the road, where the plains enter the valley area, the Dud’s division buried hundreds of heavy grenade, each of which will be in the green Tucks and large machinery were detonated as they passed by.
The monsters will be trapped between the bomb and the mine, and then Dude's troops will fire from the hidden positions on the mountain, cutting off the large green-skin troops from the middle.
A perfect plan, he almost began to pity these beasts.
Every trap needs bait, and Dude provides a good reason for Oak to enter the valley area-Gordon Fortress.
He ordered all heavy artillery to be removed from the gun position, and the camouflage of the Machine Gun Fortress was removed. He could imagine the impact on Oke, even if the brains of those beasts were simple, they could recognize the terrible firepower they faced. , Guk will certainly try to bypass the direct fire and surround it under the cover of the hills.
But it certainly cannot imagine that all of this is an illusion. Only 5% of the defenders will be stationed here. All the artillery except the heavy artillery will be transferred to the hills. The machine guns are also disguised by wooden sticks. The real goods have long been transferred to the mountains. .
He didn't plan to stick to the Gordon Fortress from the beginning, and once he hit the main force of Ok, his task was completed.
He smiled again.
Yes, he almost regretted the dirty scum.
This week is a bit busy, even more powerless...
