The Emperor’s Angel of Death

When receiving the urgent battle report from the fifth theater, Soshyan immediately analyzed Huron's strategy—the other side had targeted the two theater commanders from the very beginning.

In other words, Huron has already realized the weakness of the expeditionary force, that is, the number of space fighters is extremely small, and all theater commanders are space fighters, so as long as they concentrate on attacking the expeditionary force's Aster Tower power, they can seriously shake the opponents. The mobility and command record of the expeditionary force made the expeditionary force lose the ability to follow up the attack.

From this point of view, Suoshyan underestimated Huron's strategic vision before, and Huron obviously understood that it was impossible to defeat the expeditionary army from the frontal battlefield with the existing strength of the Red Pirates alone. It can be seen that without a large-scale ground armor force, with the help of the Titan Legion and the Chaos Knight family, the red pirates' ability to attack fortifications is much worse than previously expected, so if they want to win, the only way is to continue to wear down the empire's strength in naval battles. There is vitality, but it is not enough to just eliminate the Astral Army, because the number of the Empire's Astral Army is not ordinary, and the most effective battle damage is the Astartes, which is the only one in all the battle sequences of the Expeditionary Force that cannot be replenished in a short time of.

From the point of view of the way of attack, Arash should focus on ambushes, with a certain element of luck, while Salamander is setting up traps, waiting for the figure "Shan to take the bait. Obviously, the latter has a higher success rate. Then Huron will definitely use it as the main direction of attack.

And with the passage of time, this possibility is getting higher and higher. On the one hand, Salamanders have a character of saving lives when they are in trouble, which makes them very easy to be hooked. After all, the whereabouts of Korsaro Khan in the third theater are erratic. , The first and second theaters are surrounded by heavily armed forces, the fourth theater is the farthest, and the only available targets are the fifth and sixth theaters.

The second point is the value of "Shan himself. He is the only start-up regiment leader in the entire expeditionary force. Samuel and Corsaro are only company commanders after all. In terms of status and prestige, "Shan is undoubtedly the second Yu Suoshyan, the commander-in-chief, and the previous Salamander Chapter Commander died at the hands of the Red Pirates. If Huron can kill the new Salamander Chapter Commander again, it will be a blow to the morale of the expeditionary force. It is extremely huge. At that time, Soshyan will not only bear huge pressure from public opinion, but also bear a heavy debt.

This goal is very attractive, whether it is strategic or tactical. If Suoshyan is Huron, then he will definitely do everything possible to eliminate Tu Shan.

In other words, Huron must try to "die, then Suoshyan will never let this happen.

However, this incident also reminded him of some problems that he had been ignoring before, and it also confirmed what Veronica asked himself before—

Is it really appropriate to have the Astartes as theater commanders?

Thinking about it now, Soshyan feels that he may have underestimated the seriousness of this problem, because the commanders of the Astartes are used to commanding operations on the front line or even on the line of fire, and there is no problem in a battle group with a scale of a thousand people Yes, but on a battlefield with tens of millions of troops, this is not suitable. After all, to put it bluntly, if the commander of the battle group is sacrificed, he can be replaced by the company commander immediately, but the death of the commander of the theater area also makes a company commander Long to replace?

In terms of command, the Astartes are actually competent. After all, there were not famous Astartes commanders in the era of the Great Expedition. However, the Astartes Legion has this chain of command that can adapt to the big battlefield. It covers mortal auxiliary forces and the navy, but in the Codex era, because each company often needs to act independently, the chain of command is more of a decentralized state that pursues flexibility. The advantages are self-evident, and the disadvantages are also obvious. Even the chapter leader died It is difficult to immediately select a new replacement.

If the status quo of Astartes serving as the commander of the theater is not changed, then their habit of being on the front line of the battlefield must also be changed, otherwise they will be too easy to become the target of the enemy's beheading. Astartes, beware of enemy decapitation tactics now.

So he immediately sent instructions, or orders, to all theaters that commanders of all theaters were not allowed to command on the front line, and they must not be separated from the protection of the fleet and the battle group.

After issuing this order, he had to face a new problem.

Figure "How to save Shan?

Most of the opinions are to abandon Angstrom's offensive plan first, transfer all the prepared troops to the fifth theater, and first fish out Tu "Shan". Everyone also realizes that if the head of a start-up regiment is killed, then The impact will be extremely bad.

However, Soshyan doesn't see it that way.

In the Situation Room of the Eternal Loyalty, while everyone was still discussing, Soshyan on the chair coughed lightly and put down his hands resting on his chin. Everyone stopped discussing and looked at him.

"Picture "The Sugi Squad Leader must not make mistakes."

After saying this, he paused.

"However, correspondingly, all Huron's attention must be there now. He predicted that we would go to the rescue desperately. If we attack Angstrom with all our strength at this time, the Red Pirates must be caught off guard. There is nothing more important than now. Great opportunity."

As he spoke, he stood up, walked back and forth behind the table twice, and finally made up his mind.

Take a gamble!

"I have already sent a message to the Gray Knights. They will go to rescue the Salamander Chapter Commander. In addition, the second company of the Star Knights will also lead the Charadon fleet to create the illusion that we are all turning to rescue."

"this......."

Lysander hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"Is it enough? According to intelligence, at least two main fleets have been invested in this attack by the Red Pirates, including 3 battleships and 7 large cruisers, with a force of more than 20,000 troops... Even if most of them are on standby in the fleet , it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 5,000 people involved in ground combat.”

"It might not be enough to repel the red pirates, but I think it's enough to save the trapped salamanders."

Lysander looked at Suoshyan, and immediately understood what the other party meant—as long as Tu Shan could be fished out, that planet, or even the entire galaxy, could be given up.

Although it was cruel, he believed in Soshyan's decision. After all, Soshyan was responsible for the victory of the entire expedition, and the responsibility he shouldered was huge. After a few seconds of silence, the company commander of the Imperial Fist nodded.

"I understand, Supreme Lord Commander."

Soshyan looked at the others, UU reading www.uukanshu. com said in a deep voice:

"Then follow this plan. The subsequent voyage route must be strictly kept secret. Everyone outside this room, including the space warriors, will get the news that we will go to support the Salamander."

"yes!"

Of course, these days are not all bad news. Malakin in the Fourth War Zone not long ago received news that with the help of the Death Watch, they successfully eliminated two large groups of green-skinned pirates. Now only With the other two larger groups of alien pirates, the route situation has been greatly improved, and some imperial merchant ships have also begun to take the pale star route, which is also a help for the logistics supply of several theaters.

In addition, Soshyan also had a complete plan for the military ticket that Sylu Clement made. After reading it, Soshyan felt that there was no problem, so he asked the other party to try it out on a small scale in the Sagan galaxy.

Soon, under the banner of Soshyan, the Second Company of the Star Knights led the fleet to quickly set off to the Sylgard galaxy. Just when everyone thought they were going to rescue the Salamander, the real main fleet had already moved at the fastest speed. to Angstrom....
