Back in his office, Zhang Ge had barely settled in and arranged for the troops to assemble when representatives from all sides converged.
To Zhang Ge's surprise, it wasn't just the representatives of the Yarkalan PDF who arrived, but also Astra Militarum generals and Skitarii officers.
After talking to them both before the eting, Zhang Ge understood what was going on.
In short, both sides had roughly guessed that Calgar wouldn't assign a regint that had just traveled a long distance to any high-intensity missions without a break. It would most likely be so simple odd jobs, and considering that even a general survey of Chaos corruption hadn't been carried out, the opponents probably weren't even cultists.
So, they planned to sneak in to achieve so gains.
The Astra Militarum was there to leech off the situation. Having a combat mission ant they could rack up military rits and seize spoils of war, which would facilitate replenishnt afterward. Anything they couldn't use could be resold on the Black Market, and the money could be used to obtain so heavy equipnt.
The Skitarii, on the other hand, wanted to take the opportunity to showcase the strength of the Yarkalan Adeptus chanicus' ard forces. If they appeared too weak, even though they were colleagues, other Tech-Priests wouldn't hesitate to empty the Yarkalan Tech-Priests' pockets first.
Zhang Ge pondered for a mont. Since he hadn't expected a bunch of thugs to pose a threat to him in the first place, adding a few more people wouldn't hurt. It would be better to finish the fight sooner and get more rest.
After understanding the unexpected situation, Zhang Ge officially began to explain the contents and specific plans of the mission.
Since it was only targeting a few small-to-dium-sized gangs, the eting ended quickly. Besides Zhang Ge's fully equipped 1st chanized Infantry Regint, there were also 110,000 other Astra Militarum soldiers, 20,000 Skitarii, and, as compensation for not being able to use the Titan, Calgar granted access to three Space Marine Judicator Squads with fifteen Marines. There were also approximately 600,000 PDF soldiers.
The PDF soldiers that were mobilized were only a small portion of the Yarkalan PDF's remaining elite. Even after the war, their total number was still three to four million, and that was without having had ti to fully mobilize.
The total number of personnel was approximately 800,000. Considering that the opponent might have hidden so troops, the troop ratio between the two sides was about ten to one. So many people were considered moderate. There was no need to make it too big of a deal.
Honestly, if it weren't for the desire for a quick resolution and to ensure stability, just sending the Titan Guard of 1,000 n attached to the 1st chanized Infantry Regint and the force of 1,000 Seraphim Sisters would be bullying these Underhive residents.
After the discussion was over, Zhang Ge summarized the division of labor and said:
"eting adjourned."
The ti of the attack was set for tomorrow's local ti at dawn. Twenty-four Terran Hours before the general attack, people would be sent to communicate with the surrounding departnts to evacuate civilians. Shelling would begin three Terran Hours prior, and each unit would need to be fully in place thirty Terran Hours before.
Although the attack ti was set at dawn, Zhang Ge didn't plan to launch a surprise attack. The others were fine, but after all, there were 600,000 PDF soldiers. With their level of organization, it was certain that so many people couldn't be silent.
And, to be honest, it wasn't that Zhang Ge was underestimating the enemy. He felt that whether they launched a surprise attack or not... according to the strength ratio between the two sides, the final casualty ratio probably wouldn't change much.
After the attendees had all left, Zhang Ge continued to sit in his chair and space out for a while. Then, he got up, went to the door, and patted Isis on the shoulder, saying:
"Let's go, let's do what we need to do."
Zhang Ge certainly wouldn't let himself be idle. An elite force of more than 300 people, including the personal troops of various families, elite Schola Progenium Cadre, Skitarii Vanguard, and Seraphim Sisters, would be divided into nurous reconnaissance squads and set off imdiately.
After being transported by transport aircraft to the areas surrounding the target area, this elite force would infiltrate the area to scout out the specific situation. This naturally included Zhang Ge... as for the command, because the troop strength was absolutely dominant, the tactical plan was basically to advance steadily, so Zhang Ge simply handed it over to the Regintal Second-in-Command.
The people with Zhang Ge on the sa aircraft included Amilia, Dominica, Isis, three Seraphim Sisters, and five veterans of the chanized Infantry Regint.
There were a total of twelve people, who soon took their places in the Valkyrie's cabin.
Soon, having arrived at Sky Eagle Port for only a short while, Zhang Ge experienced the feeling of weightlessness from takeoff for the third ti.
During the flight, since this squad didn't really need any pre-battle speeches to boost morale, Zhang Ge, who had nothing to do, could only ask Isis, finding sothing to say:
"This is your first ti formally participating in a battle against people with , right? Are you nervous?"
Isis seed to feel a little baffled by this question and replied:
"No strong ones, will be nervous, because, wasting ti."
That one sentence killed the conversation, and Zhang Ge lost the desire to continue.
Inside the Underhive.
More than 30 military aircraft entered the Underhive directly from the outside through various military channels after identification. In the busy airspace, these dozens of scattered military aircraft did not attract much attention.
Above the buildings, which were really unremarkable except for their larger scale compared to Yarkalan, these fighter aircraft gradually transitioned to low-altitude flight and finally stopped outside the control areas of certain gangs.
Each elite squad began to cross their controlled edges like ghosts.
Zhang Ge's squad was one of the groups that landed at a moderate speed, but he didn't need to cross the edge because, he didn't know what this Valkyrie did, but their landing point was directly located in a hidden corner within the gang's controlled area, and it hadn't attracted any extra attention.
Ace technology, shocking... probably.
After leaving the cabin, Zhang Ge looked up at the sky.
The featureless tal sky, the dimly lit lamps hanging at intervals provided the minimum amount of light for the area below. There wasn't much difference compared to Yarkalan.
And around him were buildings built of quick-drying materials or scrap tal and steel, mostly a dozen stories high, forming a rectangular enclosure around the open space where Zhang Ge and his party were standing.
There was no one else in this enclosed open space. Although so accumulated garbage could be seen, judging from the decay of so of the minced at and limbs that could be found in it, it had probably been there for a long ti. He looked around and couldn't see any traces of people within the past two or three days. It was safe.
After gathering the squad and briefly discussing the tactical plan, Zhang Ge took off the military emblems and such from his coat and handed them over to Amilia for safekeeping.
The others' attire was too obvious. Standard military uniforms and even Flak Armor obviously didn't look like gang mbers, so they were responsible for staying in the shadows.
Zhang Ge's appearance was relatively better. The entire set of equipnt, from top to bottom, had originally been taken from corpses, and he had been through so much with it. The appearance of equipnt taken from corpses that had been dead for a few days was probably better than his, so it wouldn't be difficult to blend in with the people in the gang's controlled area. Therefore, he could be responsible for acting in the open.
Soon, the others had hidden themselves, and Zhang Ge swaggered through a narrow alleyway to the street.
