Orc Tyrant

After that magical night in Dunwich, when various reports were still scrambling to get first-hand news, a group of released prisoners brought even more incredible news.

A total of 1,000 captives were released from the other side of the river, and they were the last remaining humans in Arkham. Ouke even ran a human boat to take them away from the river.

In more than a year of labor and torture, only the thousand bony wandering souls of more than one hundred thousand former residents were left, and the rest became dead bones piled up in factories and arenas.

On the bodies of the more than one thousand prisoners, the defenders on the river bank were surprised to find a line of words.

Destroy the New California Republic in a hundred days!

These words were carved directly on the skin of the captives with a knife, so after arriving on the other side of the river, at least half of the people died due to excessive blood loss.

Such naked intimidation angered the entire New California Republic.

In response, Ben Lier used the Ok's skull accumulated from previous battles to build a huge high platform in the city center of Dunwich, on which was placed a special quartz clock, engraved with not only the hours, minutes and seconds, but also the most Important days.

One hundred days!

This is the most direct response to threats.

Various newspapers and news media have also mocked Guk's arrogance, because everyone knows that the flood season has come, and it is a stupid behavior and idea to cross the Skasen River for at least three months.

Guk announced that he would launch an attack three days later, which, in everyone's eyes, was more like a bluff.

However, the civilians can easily express themselves, but the military has strengthened its guard.

Oak's repetitiveness is notorious, they will do a lot of things outside of common sense, so it does not rule out the possibility of Guk really kicking his head to launch a full-scale attack.

All vacations have been cancelled, the officers have returned to the frontline troops, the rear reserve team has also been assembled, and all the frontline troops have entered the highest alert state.

As early as six months ago, the Department of Defense of the New California Republic formulated a plan to deal with the large-scale invasion of Oak.

In the plan, the focus of defense will be on the river bank line, and 600,000 troops will be sent to the front line from the rear within 1-2 weeks. At the same time, the Navy will conduct diversionary attacks on a few ports in Oakland, if necessary. Marines can be dispatched for landing operations.

Once the frontline garrison forces withstood Oak’s offensive and inflicted a lot of damage on the opponent, Ben Lier was able to assemble elite field troops to launch a counterattack and strive to occupy 2-3 bridgehead positions on the opposite bank of the Skassen River.

After the last miserable defeat, the military of the New California Republic has understood that this war will be long and painful. It must be carried out in steps and a quick fight is impossible.

Defending the Skarson River is the bottom line goal, and counterattacking and regaining some key strongholds, such as Cardillon, is the highest goal.

The implementation of the entire plan involves millions of troops, and requires a huge rail network and road network, as well as a larger logistics network as support.

The Benedict Empire cannot support such a battle, but the New California Republic can.

It is the first industrial power of mankind, and its war potential is not comparable to the old Benedict Empire.

After experiencing the last miserable defeat, in just one year, the New California Republic once again mobilized three million navy, army and air forces, of which 2.5 million for the army, plus the previous standing army, reached an unprecedented number of two hundred and five. 100,000, 115 divisions in total

In terms of organization, the new army of the New California Republic is similar to the Benedict Empire. Both are divisions plus three infantry regiments, as well as direct artillery and engineering battalions. This can be regarded as the experience learned from the anti-European front. .

But in terms of equipment, the two are much worse.

For example, in each infantry regiment, the New California Republic is equipped with 16 45-caliber anti-tank guns, 24 75-caliber rapid-fire guns, 42 light and heavy mortars, and 63 light and heavy machine guns.

Such regiment-level firepower is close to the level of a normal division in the Benedict Empire.

As for the divisional artillery, the New California Republic has made a big difference. The heavy artillery battalion alone is equipped with 12 240-caliber howitzers, and the other three light artillery battalions are equipped with 12 122-caliber howitzers, for a total of 36. There is also a special anti-tank gun battalion equipped with 57-caliber anti-tank guns and 88-caliber anti-tank guns, totaling 52 guns, and an anti-aircraft battalion equipped with 108 anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

On the other hand, in order to strengthen the mobility of the troops, all newly formed army divisions have completed motorization, with nearly 2,000 vehicles of each division size.

Similarly, in response to Oak’s armored assault, the New California Republic also formed its own armored division.

The most elite of them are the six heavy armored divisions. They are the trump cards of the trump cards. Each division has at least 158 ​​latest Shield Defender heavy tanks, 92 tank destroyers, 242 medium tanks of various types, and 640 A light tank and a half-tracked vehicle and 68 self-propelled assault guns, the other thousands of vehicles are not counted.

As for the Air Force, although this is a new type of service, due to the constant threat from the sky, all the New California Republic has invested no less in it than the Army.

With the technical support of the Citizen Temple, the technicians of the Republic were able to develop a variety of combat models in a short period of time and put them into production quickly.

In just one year, the New California Republic formed 31 flying wings, including nine bomber wings, 15 fighter wings, and seven attack aircraft wings, totaling more than 4,000 aircraft.

All pilots are uniformly trained by instructors from the Citizen Temple.

Although they are very unfamiliar, in the confrontation with Ouke, they have gradually grown up and become the mainstay of the human sky.

All these land and air forces are distributed on the Gamel-Wali defense line, including five elite heavy armored divisions, all on standby on the front line.

Everyone believes that this time, Oak will hit his head and beat his blood.

Some even expect Oak to launch an offensive at his own discretion, but most people still pray that war will not happen. After all, it takes at least 16 years for a man to be a soldier from birth.

As for an Ouke, it is said that it only takes a few seconds from birth to becoming a killer.

"Today is about to pass."

Standing in a lookout at the front, with the help of the dying twilight, Mountbatten could see the hot scene on the other side of the river.

The Oaks are building ships—if that polygon is anything.

But in any case, they seem to be happy, as if they are preparing for an outing, not a war.

"They... can't make it through."

Bronze walked up to him, with a scent of smell on his body. At the beginning, Mountbatten led the battlefield and burned an indelible scar on his body-one of his eyes became a solid crystal.

"How are you sure? As far as I know, it seems that the things you put in the river are gone."

"Yes, but the turbulent river water is enough. We will gain more time and make more arrangements."

Bronze smiled slightly, but with his gray-white right eye, which was like a glass bead, it made this smile look very strange.

"Arrangements? Like more evil rituals?"

"Power is never evil, the key depends on where it is used."

"I only know that people with guns in their hands will definitely want to fire."

Mountbatten put down the telescope.

The sun has set, and the day is over.

There are still two days left before the date set by Guk, but apart from seeing a lot of Ouk gathering by the river, there are no signs of attack.

But Mountbatten's heart became more and more disturbed.

"Look!"

Suddenly, Bronze pushed Mountbatten, he looked up and found that the anger of the **** of war was gathering in the sky!
