Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

On the top of the hill, the headquarters of the 1st British Brigade.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor! Your Imperial Navy still has this kind of highly advanced sand table projection?!"

Lieutenant Colonel Cotton exclaimed in disbelief as he looked at the sand table in front of him that looked like life, no, it should be said that it was exactly the same as the scene on the front line, and there was almost no delay in the changes in the battle situation.

"It seems that our Mr. Corcoran made a landing point with such a good thing?" Sir Wellesley said with a raised eyebrow.

"That's right." Horatio said without changing his expression, as easily as if he was not lying but simply stating a 'fact':

"The source of this technology is the Imperial Navy's latest fleet command sand table projection. We then asked the mechanical priests to separate and improve it and customize it to create an integrated air-ground sand table used by the Aviation Department to command the Imperial Navy's air fleet."

"So, can I give direct orders to the frontline troops like you?"

Sir Arthur Wellesley rubbed his thumbs. Although his tone was still steady, his movements were already impatient to give it a try.

"If you please, ser." Horatio invited with a calm smile.

Soon, a report came from the officer of the corresponding unit over the communication: "Sir, we saw a beacon guidance arrow with a double-headed sky eagle mark! Is this an order from the brigade headquarters?

"Yes, this is an order from me. Please execute it immediately and remove that bunker. Depending on the direction of the firing range, it may threaten the flank safety of No. 434!"

'yes! Royal Engineers, follow us!

M

On the frontal battlefield.

A gun barrel quietly protruded from a camouflaged bunker at the bottom of the mountain.

As soon as the barrel was extended, it was discovered by Lord Wellesley, who had been observing the attack at the pass.

To be precise, it was the commander of Leman Russ who discovered the enemy through the peripheral vision mirror and lit up the enemy on the sand table.

However, the turret rotated slowly, and the opponent's artillery was already aimed at the Leman Russ tank's fragile side armor.

"Quick! Sim, you used that job to fuck me hard last night, so hurry up and reload!"

"Bah, you shits, stop yelling and be quiet, I'm taking aim!"

"We only have one chance, hit it right, and blast the Corpse King's tanks!"

In the bunker, the rebel artillery crew members uttered all kinds of obscenities, but their operating procedures were extremely skillful. They were obviously a group of veterans.

An adamantine cannonball was stuffed into the bore of the Hongsheng Cannon,

The Macro Cannon is a common close support artillery piece used by the Astra Militarum. It can both projectile and level fire.

Although its anti-armor capability is not as good as that of a towed laser cannon, it is still not a problem to penetrate the side armor of a Leman Russ tank.

After the commander discovered the enemy's situation, the Leman Russ tank immediately stopped, shifted to reverse gear and began to retreat.

At the same time, he turned to the direction and tried to use the frontal armor to face the protruding gun barrel. He wanted to use the strongest frontal structural steel in the entire vehicle to catch this life-or-death cannonball.

The heavy explosive shells on the side of the vehicle also began to fire at the bunker. The heavy explosive arrows hit the sandbag bunker, causing sand and gravel to fly. The laser cannon mounted on the front of the vehicle also fired at the mountain at its maximum rate of fire.

However, the firing holes of the bunker have been carefully arranged. The square opening inside is only large enough for the gun barrel and the sighting system to protrude. The gradually retracting font design with a trapezoidal cross-section allows the gun barrel to have a very good shooting range without worrying about the shells hitting the target. Go inside the bunker.

"Aim completed!"

"Put——.——ah! Ah! Ah! Damn it! It's fire! It's fire!"

Before the order to fire was given, burning Jusu was sprayed on the bunker.

The narrow fast-concrete fortress entrance can indeed block most weapons, but it cannot block the burning giant element.

The rebel Hongsheng Cannon operating team inside the bunker stared dumbfoundedly at the thousand-degree flames flowing in front of them.

The greasy burning substance sprayed through the gaps and splashed on the entire operation team members. No matter how they screamed and rolled, it could not be extinguished. It burned through the skin and flesh and burned straight to the bone marrow.

As they screamed, the barrel of the gun gradually burned red with flames.

The demolition team of the Royal Engineers continued to spray flames at the muzzle of the gun, while the demolition crew took the opportunity to deploy the hot-melt explosive package in front of the bunker. After putting it down, they immediately ran back.

boom!

The explosion was scheduled to leave enough time for him to retreat. The heavy carapace on his body also blocked the attenuated aftermath of the explosion, and a huge gap was blown out of the bunker in front.

The sentry mecha, which was walking with big steel feet, stepped on the remaining flames and fired a burst of rapid-fire firepower at the blasted gap.

The grenadier assault team on standby used the cover of laser strafing to pour grenades into it.

After the grenade detonated, the heavy dragoons holding broad-bladed sabers followed the wayfinding point marks on the war sand table, rushed in through the gap in the collapsed bunker, and slashed wildly at the rebel soldiers who followed.

The ability to achieve such close coordinated operations among various forces relies entirely on the delay-free real-time command capabilities provided by Horatio's war sandbox.

Horatio is very clear about the most critical purpose of the war sandbox:

It can make up for the lack of understanding of the situation around the troops by frontline commanders and fighters. After having a clear goal, the frontline commanders and fighters' ability to analyze and judge the battlefield and risk early warning capabilities will be further improved.

In a true sense, "frontline units only need to rely on their subjective initiative to complete the advancement and attack tasks assigned by the beacon, but our rear brigade headquarters has a lot to consider."

However, this happens to be the ideal staff command environment.

Unfortunately, these officers didn't know that after leaving the naval liaison officer from the Gothic Fleet in the future, they would never see such a useful sandbox command system again.

"Yes! Sir, we saw it! Fire!"

Under the guidance of the brigade headquarters, the Leman Russ tank that escaped the disaster slightly turned the laser gun barrel at the front of the vehicle body and aimed it at the rebels' homemade armored vehicles coming on the front road.

Bang!

A beam of strong light shot at the armored vehicle with a rather stupid, big, black and rough style, which was modified with agricultural machinery as the base,

burning a bright red smoking hole on the body.

The patchwork body was instantly penetrated by the high-energy beam of the laser cannon, and the front engine stopped struggling after two thumps, emitting thick black smoke.

The surviving crew members hurriedly jumped out of the car and fled, and the latter even jumped on the former, and the two fell on the hard road together.

Before the abandoned members could get up, the short battle cannon aimed at the broken and modified vehicle chassis.

Bang!

A burst of gravel splashed on the road, and the part flying backwards was carrying conspicuous scarlet flesh and blood tissue.

The senior officers of the brigade headquarters relied on the non-delay war sand table, with the perspective of God looking down on the world,

and could quickly help the soldiers mark those high-threat and undetected enemy firepower points.

With the cooperation between multiple troops, seamless cooperation was achieved, and the effect of many troops being one static and one moving was seamless.

At first, the advancing soldiers were indeed a little overwhelmed by the firepower points at the pass, but they found that the outlines of the enemy units had turned into eye-catching red highlights.

And after the grassroots officers and their superiors became more frequent, the units on the front line began to coordinate closely, and the battle situation has been progressing more smoothly so far compared to the previous chaotic situation.

Many arms opened fire at high-threat targets within their range of fire. Each squad and group performed their duties like interlocking gears, and each squad became an inseparable part of the breakthrough front.

Even the infantry squad that was blocked from attacking the mountain from the front snow began to cooperate with the infantry squad next to it.

This was not because the squad leaders and platoon leaders were quick-witted, but because the staff officers who were observing the battlefield from a high position used their invisible hands to clarify the goals of each squad and platoon unit and fully dispatched the troops.

Those squads that were originally suppressed in the trenches on the battlefield and didn't know how to break through suddenly saw waypoints in front of them.

Then, they quickly received orders from the platoon leaders: move according to the waypoints and attack the highlighted targets with red outlines in front of them.

Although these soldiers were essentially fighting independently, when everyone had clear tactical mission goals, rather than the general mission goals that were originally issued due to intelligence blind spots and delays.

The Star Army troops on the entire battlefield rushed towards the end of the beam marked by the waypoint assigned to their own units, and annihilated all the enemies marked in red or encountered along the way.

"The most taboo thing on the battlefield is confusion and being at a loss. Grassroots frontline officers and soldiers may be confused like headless flies under the enemy's fire suppression. They only know the big goal set at the beginning of the battle, but don't know how to split a big goal into several small goals to complete it.

And on the battlefield, it is impossible to observe the situation of each unit in time. Many times, they can only rely on the real-time combat strategy of the grassroots officers and soldiers. The commanders of the squads and platoons have different levels, which will lead to different situations on the front line.

And once the soldiers have clear and concrete mission goals, they are the most outstanding fighters and will complete these goals at all costs."

Sir Wellesley analyzed the reasons for the current situation from the perspective of command psychology, and admired the magical sand table command system in front of him.

Then, he looked at Horatio and smiled, "So, where did you customize this system? We in Britain also want to popularize this highly advanced command sandbox."

"Ah?"
