Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 367 05.0366: ‘Farewell amidst the sound of gunfire’

"Did you hear that we have one more enemy, and it's still the damn alien. Now all the war zones on the planet Farr are in chaos. I only hope that Sanguinius's wish to save energy and triumphantly return to Britain can be realized. .

But since last night, the big iron birds of the Imperial Navy have been roaring non-stop. When we first set off, we heard that they had already won the first battle. Well, there seems to be hope for Sanguinius' return home. "

'The earth is trembling, the steel is mourning, and hundreds of kilometers away, I can actually feel the results of the Imperial Navy's battles. I really envy these guys who can fly in the sky every day. May the God-Emperor bless Her Majesty the Queen and her heroic troops to achieve the same outstanding results and not let the Imperial Navy steal our spotlight. "

"Humph, these flying yakshas. I prefer their melta bombs to high-explosive bombs. At least after the explosion, only crystallized hard dry gravel is left on the ground, instead of a puddle big enough for our heavy tanks. The mud that got stuck in.

Well, anyway, I hope the Imperial Naval Air Force can do more bombings like this, because the enemy armored forces are much worse than ours. "

The Heavy Armor Company of the 1st Squadron, 1st Battalion, 1st Royal British Armored Regiment, held a night talk on the Farr Star Expedition.

The first armored echelon of the British 1st Brigade launched a surprise attack on the left front of the rebel armored forces as scheduled. The rebels had to deploy a regiment-sized armored force from the front troops that broke through the Mordian Iron Guards to fight against it. .

After a fierce battle, the scorched earth plain was covered with tank wreckage. The burned-out remains of tanks and armored units that had been penetrated by both sides were covered with blazing flames. They lay scattered on the uncultivated plain.

The broken black tracks were stuck in the mud, and the crew members who failed to escape were half hung on the car and turned into charred corpses.

Most of them were rebel vehicles destroyed by vulture-type Valkyries.

As the main weapon commonly equipped on Leman Russ tanks, the battle cannon has the longest range and the fastest rate of fire. Its characteristics are more inclined to provide fire support for infantry and deal with light vehicles.

When encountering an opponent with the same level of protection as oneself, a stalemate occurs where the Leman Russ combat cannon cannot penetrate the Leman Russ frontal armor.

Each other's shells hit the strongest frontal armor plate of the car body. They were either bounced off or the warheads were embedded in it. At most, they left a slight dent in the blackened and burned protective armor after the explosion.

Only when the two sides are firing at the same time and are very close at the same time, can it be possible to penetrate the frontal armor using a laser cannon with a lower rate of fire at the front of the vehicle.

In this situation where they can't break each other's defenses.

The Macharius heavy tank was unbeatable.

They have frontal armor close to that of the Emperor's Baneblade, which is strong and reliable. Even the high-energy beam of the laser cannon is weak in the face of such strong armor.

The double-barreled heavy artillery with higher penetration depth pours thunderous fire on the enemy mercilessly, tearing steel and melting molten iron.

The addition of these top heavy armored assault forces broke the stalemate balance.

"Flank! Enemy armor!"

In order to break the declining battle situation of being unable to confront the Macharius heavy tanks head-on, the rebels dispatched a detachment, trying to rely on deep maneuvers in the Great Plains to get around to the side of the assault spearhead, and rely on an ambush to destroy the Macharius from the side. Heavy tanks.

But these Astra Militarum commanders who were born in regular military schools are not vegetarians. They were taught by a master.

Don’t they still know what the rebels want to do?

I saw those armored groups that had finally come around from the side, approaching the side of Macarius who was constantly advancing.

puff!

A ball of plasma flew over a thousand meters and hit the side of one of the Leman Russ tanks with unclean marks.

The huge explosion that followed caused its thick turret to fly away immediately, and finally fell back to the ground.

The barrel of the gun was inserted straight into the soft fertile soil, giving people a terrifying feeling of showing off its head to the public.

An Omega tank destroyer modified using the chassis of the Macarius heavy tank, had long been hiding in the jungle covered with trees and camouflage grass. The twin-mounted plasma blaster that had just been fired was still emitting smoke near the muzzle. The smell of burnt air after ionization.

(That night, Gutera’s German Cricket self-propelled artillery and Rhino tank destroyers both drank too much...

Convinced)

These tanks from the tank-destroying detachment guard the flank security of a 120-degree sector with a frontal radius of 3,000 meters.

Taking advantage of the commotion caused by the explosion, the Macarius heavy tank, which broke through frontally, discovered the sneak attacker, and then the turret began to rotate slowly.

Bang! Bang!

boom!

Another rebel Chimera tank was torn apart by the fierce firepower of the twin cannons, and the enemy armored detachment that suffered a heavy head-on attack had to retreat back the same way.

But the tank-destroying unit would not let go of such a big piece of meat delivered to the door.

The Omega Markarius tank destroyers started their engines. Their frontal armor was equally thick.

The equipment can be used as an assault gun.

News of the defeat on the flank quickly reached the rebel forward headquarters with the smoother communication devices of the rebel armored forces.

The face of the rebel commander, whose face was hideous and tattooed with strange characters, showed no change, but a pair of horny claws violently crushed the bone decoration placed beside the table.

In order to contain the 1st Brigade's offensive, the rebel troops launched an attack on the front of the 1st Brigade as expected.

I hope to attract the main armored force of the 1st Brigade back.

On the forward blocking position of Route 54, the soldiers of the 88th British Regiment had only foxholes to rely on. Five kilometers away in the rear, trench excavators were working hard to build a formal defense line.

These brave and fearless Astra Militarum soldiers are almost all infantry, with only a small number of 79th Armored Reconnaissance Company dispatched to assist the blocked heavy wheeled combat vehicles in coordinated operations.

Their mission is to delay the construction of the defense line at all costs. They know that the more ferocious the enemy's attack, the smoother the right hook of the armored forces will be.

The enemy's mechanized troops launched an armored coordinated attack towards the front of the 1st Brigade, but were almost immediately attacked from the side by the Rangers of the 79th Armored Reconnaissance Regiment. They had to deploy a battle formation a long way in advance, and the infantry dismounted and accompanied the attack on foot. .

The Rangers were elusive and ran away after the fight. They did not delay and did not cause much damage, but they brought great resistance to the formation advancement and implementation of the combat plan of the rebels.

When the rebels rushed to the blocking position, these mechanized infantry had already walked 3 kilometers on foot.

Awaiting them were heroic grenadiers and cross-defense fire.

Under the coordinate instructions of the front-line artillery observers, the heavy artillery group poured ferocious firepower towards the assaulting mechanized group to block it.

The elusive vulture-type Valkyrie fighter also appears in a silent posture.

In order to avoid the threat of the enemy's Hydra self-propelled artillery accompanying the air defense in field battles, Horatio required them to carry rockets and directly carry out rocket ejection coverage strikes from a distance.

The directions of these ejection points were measured in advance by Horatio, together with the Hell's Vanguard and the Valkyrie fighter planes for test firing.

When the enemy travels to a marked point, the Valkyrie fighter jet will fly to the corresponding estimated position, raise its nose, and fiercely clear the rocket nest at the enemy's advancing troops.

On the right side, the assembled green-skinned army attacked both armies indiscriminately.

The garrison of the 1st Brigade encountered severe flank threats, but these greenskins also allowed the attacking 1st Brigade to

The rebel troops on the brigade's front line were struggling.

When the greenskins launched a charge, the Imperial Army and the rebel troops who were already in the crossfire often stopped firing at each other inexplicably and tacitly, and turned their guns to kill the greenskins first.

Because they all know that the threat of these cunning and cruel, cruel and cunning stupid beasts is extremely deadly. This is the lesson about the green-skinned orcs that has been engraved into the DNA of humans for thousands of years.

The situation in the Mordian position is dire.

Before the rebel armored forces attacked, the greenskin's harassment had seriously slowed down their progress in building defenses.

When the battle progressed to 3 p.m., the Mordian Guards 339th Light Infantry Regiment, 412th Light Infantry Regiment, 637th Light Infantry Regiment

The infantry regiment's front lines have been broken through two and three respectively.

Because these light infantry lacked mechanized vehicles, they had no retreat plan after the front was breached.

After all, the legs can't run as fast as the tracks.

The commanders of the Mordian Iron Guard knew this very well. Everyone was determined to hold on to the divided and surrounded positions, and used the relatively well-constructed positions to launch counterattacks with the coordinated infantry of the rebels coming from all directions to encircle and suppress them.

When any small position is about to be lost, the Iron Guard officers on the position will fire red flares into the sky.

Then, the Iron Guard Artillery Regiment will cover the entire corresponding position with firepower to maximize the consumption of the rebels' effective strength.

As for those large and important positions that were divided by armored assaults, under the cover of the Valkyrie fighter planes arranged by Horatio, the Averus landing craft was intensively airdropping supplies to them.

Groups of Modian reserve troops were sent to the position aboard Avis landing craft that could carry dozens of people and tons of supplies at a time. Then, the seriously wounded and bloody soldiers were carried onto the aircraft and transported to the field behind. Hospital.

For this reason, several landing craft and two Valkyrie fighter jets were shot down by the rebels' accompanying anti-aircraft vehicles during the round trip.

The Hell's Vanguard Squad, which can be used to rescue downed pilots, is almost fully booked.

An aerial lifeline supported by blood is protecting the life and death of the Mordins.

At an emergency strategy meeting, Lord Wellesley proposed that these positions must be held no matter what.

Because they are like sharp thorns, if the enemy ignores them, their firepower will seriously threaten the rebels' supply lines.

As long as they exist, the more the rebels advance, the less supplies they can keep up with. Sooner or later, if this continues, the advance will be wasted, and they will eventually be stopped here by the rear front of the light infantry regiment.

At that time, when other Mordian mechanized forces arrive, they can work together with the British armored task force attacking the enemy's flank to separate and encircle this extremely threatening rebel armored assault force.

United Imperial Naval Air Force carries out annihilation.

Horatio jumped off the plane, and his deputy Archie trotted over and handed him the latest battle report data pad with a solemn expression.

"Thanks, Archie, we are in a tense moment." Horatio took it from him.

"That's what we're here to solve." Archie Cuthbert Collingwood greeted, and then immediately ran to the tactical intelligence room.

Just as Horatio was on the runway of the Imperial Navy Field Airport near Montaquia Mountain, holding a data tablet in his hand and frowning at the front line in a dangerous situation.

"Horatio." Louise came quickly, Farida following behind her.

Louise just opened her mouth, but hesitated, as if she was hesitating and struggling with something.

Farida glanced at her calmly, and then said:

"My dear, according to the monitoring of the Void Fleet's Auspicious Department, the Hell Gate Subspace rift has undergone a new round of expansion, which may cause instability in the Subspace channel in the near future.

Just now, it seems that some hidden dangers have been detected. Captain Peru urgently decided that the fleet would enter the third-level combat alert state.

At the same time, the candidate officers who are preparing to go to Sepra-Mundi to take the Navy Lieutenant Examination will set off immediately. This is the last communication ship that can catch up with the Navy Lieutenant Examination in the second half of the year."

Louise pursed her red lips. It seemed that she didn't want to leave Horatio when the war was so tense, but Farida said it for her without any burden.

"How are you preparing?" Horatio smiled, not caring about the upcoming separation at all, and his laughter was full of concern for her own future.

Louise suddenly raised her head, her eyes bright and she straightened her chest and said, "Thanks to you, I have recently completed the first round of review. I have understood the principles of many knowledge points that I didn't master before. I will further consolidate and master them."

"Good luck in the exam."

Horatio stepped forward and patted Louise on the shoulder.

"Farida, your official team military supervisor evaluation and assessment is expected to be in the second half of this year, in Sepra-Mundi, right?"

"Yes."

"You two should go together, so that you can take care of each other on the way. Promise me that you won't damage your relationship because of me, okay?" Horatio said earnestly and gently.

Know------Know." Farida turned her eyes away, entwined her beautiful golden curly hair with her slender fingers, and stammered with a slightly red cheek.

"Team leader, Farida is on your side. Please take good care of her for me. "Horatio saluted Louise, then turned to Farida.

"Who————-who asked her to take care of me! I'm fine." Farida puffed up her lips and pouted unconvinced.

"Leave it to me." Louise's steady voice always reassures people:

"You too, take care of yourself. It's estimated that we will be separated for several months, assuming that the subspace channel is stable."

"I will, good luck in the exam. "

Horatio smiled. Although he was a little reluctant, it was a big deal related to his future after all. He supported the two to fight for the official establishment.

Louise opened her arms and walked towards Horatio. Farida was unwilling to fall behind. The two of them, who were secretly wrestling with each other on their shoulders, hugged him in an awkward but warm posture.

Just as Horatio was immersed in the happiness brought by the two.

Suddenly, there were gunshots and fierce exchanges of fire from the right rear of the airport. Horatio had to let go of the two women.

Turning around and frowning, it was the fort artillery that survived on the outer ring side of Mount Montachia and was re-controlled by the Astra Militarum, firing towards the distance.
