Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

The second lieutenant of the only regiment of Skadi, a native of Skadi, has experienced several wars, but he has never experienced the Greenskin War. Therefore, he and most of the recruits were left in the garrison, as if fate was kidding, those The undead stalked those who had defeated him like zombies.

Although Makator and the captain passed the test, and Alan Bair and the staff took away the greenskins again, those minions of chaos still did not give up. Those who descended from the sky to tear apart the mortal homeland were greedy and rude.

But the second lieutenant still didn't know. He didn't look so immature, but at this moment when the veterans had left, he was the only real veteran among the approximately 3,000 people left in Skadi's regiment.

Although he is a bit taller than a short one, but just looking at his war experience, General Coco Makato's armored division in the east may not be as legendary as him.

The world would never treat him as gently as his comrades-in-arms, but at this moment, the second lieutenant was chewing cooked starch lunch meat in the exhaust-filled military camp canteen, those things that were soaked in water and boiled to pieces. The weird pink thing made me sigh.

"Eating that thing again?"

His face was already not good, but the Imperial Guard had already denied the full supply of that star system. He never thought that the heretics at this moment had run out of ammunition and food, and would even launch an assault ship invasion right under the eyes of the Imperial Navy. That world.

That behavior seems okay, but it is very crazy. If they are discovered, the light spear can wipe out most of their effective forces. The densely packed assault ships are not suitable for crossing large-scale star fields. Firstly, they are very fast. Secondly, They lack landing capability and will be shot down by anti-orbital weapons.

That was also the reason why the Imperial Navy didn't detect those enemies, but the second lieutenant probably never thought in his life that those people who went through all the trouble to come here would just get the disgusting starchy lunch meat in his legs.

The eldest sister of Fraxia hit him on the head, and the lieutenant covered his head in pain. "I feel disgusted. When they were surrounded by titanium, they cut off their supplies. They could even eat soil to fill their stomachs, so several brothers died from starvation."

She said it easily, but the few words revealed the cruel hardship. Even if it was not a year of famine, it could only be described in just a few words. People cannibalize each other and starve to death everywhere.

At the end of that dark forty millennium, people must be grateful for food, whether they are climbing in the hive, standing in the primitive world, working in the feudal world, or even in the agricultural world. people.

The population of the Empire is so large that it exceeds human civilization's previous understanding of human reproductive capabilities. The number of men and women in the Empire is almost as many as the stars in the Milky Way.

The value of food to life is the most troublesome thing for the empire. Even if it is wrong for the empire, those crops are still one of the best resources to obtain, but they still need to face the terrible astronomical figures. consumption.

People in the empire hardly need preaching, and being picky about food is not a luxury. Although the second lieutenant complained, he still swallowed those bland things. After all, no matter how bad it was, it was better than a confinement period eating corpse starch.

Crush those things with a spoon, dissolve them in the soup, drink it up in one gulp with a greasy feeling, and add a measurable piece full of sugar to satisfy tomorrow's training. The food of the Imperial Guard is getting worse and worse, but the Imperial Guard morale has not weakened.

In that terrible universe, there was killing the enemy and being killed. Terra's countless mutinies and defections in the external battles of mankind became a handful in the face of the pressure of the empire and existential crises.

Even if they are not eating those bland canned starch cubes, the Imperial Guard will spread their fury on their enemies.

But tomorrow's confinement does not look as peaceful as usual. It's only half way through lunch time, and roars like thunder and lightning flash out. The atmosphere of that world does not have so-called clouds or enough water molecules. In other words, there is no thunder and lightning there.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were even more aware of the restlessness. Lunch time ended early. They stuffed food into their mouths and put on their helmets and weapons. They even carried their guns with them even if they did not eat.

Because if it's war, it's not the sound of gunfire, or the strafing of orbital defense automatic cannons. The scarlet airdrop pods streaking across the indifferent and cloudless atmosphere also represent those who come with bad intentions, those who are extremely fast east. The fallen angel wings cut through the sky like sharp blades, and the invasion weapons that the Empire had fully built were the reason why the Space Marines were invincible.

Now whether those things will attack the empire's weapons in turn, the Skitarii gathered early and were orderly under the command of the data craftsmen, but those heretical airdrops were extremely accurate, falling directly into the residential areas, with the counter-propulsion of the flame jets at their tails Lidong is stable and hits the destination, destroying a piece of rubble, blood and death.

Directly smashing into residential areas, violently passing over anti-orbital equipment at speed, the residents of the empire have heard of such behavior, such as the arrival of angels, but the servitors of the Mechanicum were not angels that they encountered that time, insist on it Say, they are not demons, to be more precise, they are red pirates, traitors!

The tower city in the residential area was smashed through, the scarlet angels of death stepped out of their halls, explosive bombs and chain saws sang together, and the screams of the skitarii and the death of civilians created a perfect sound.

The resistance was not strong, and the city was occupied instantly. The Mechanicus were more researchers than soldiers, but the Imperial Guard was professional.

Just a moment later in the Imperial Guard stronghold, the shouts of the commanders of the major regiments also rang out. There was no regiment leader in Skadi Rumming, and even the regimental staff was not there. The second lieutenant walked directly to the crowd. He was not big. He has an average build, is neither strong nor experienced.

But the life-and-death experience between Fou and Alan Beyer gave him the right to speak. Even when people realized that the war started without a commander, the "Sentinel Knight" actually became Fou's best candidate.

His voice is childish but sonorous and powerful. No one will doubt his loyalty and strength, and will run forward with him.

"Although his official position is not high, he is still the oldest veteran, and his brothers who enlisted with him are among the best!"

About 20% of Skadi's only group walked out.

"How about we just be Ru Ming's first company!"

‘Be prepared to die! "

The soldiers raised their heads and answered. "no!"

It seems that he is not a child, but the second lieutenant has not grown up. He has seen too much along the way. He has been taught by veterans and cruel battlefields, but there are still few people with bright eyes like him in that damn dark universe. This is also the reason why Alan Bayer has always been cruel to him.

In that dark universe, if he has the ability to truly stand up in times of crisis, then he will be a hero of the empire. Regardless of age, gender, or experience, although the second lieutenant lives under the wing of Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bayer, Otherwise, it turns out that the Skadi people alive in that universe are not useless!

"Start the war, start the war, let those heretics see it!"

The murderous intention of the Imperial Guard at this moment even makes people doubt whether Khorne will land here, but whether these hostility are more than the hatred of the Red Pirates and Skadi, the hatred of destroying their families, the hatred of their comrades, the hatred of the Red Pirates. In this way, when they step on the same soil, they are destined to fight endlessly.

The so-called grievances and loyalty are like this. Those things are burning in the land of Panlan, the forging world, making the already solidified air there even more suffocating.

The leader of the twelfth regiment of Lorne and Gray couldn't help but admire the young man in front of him. Their camp was next to Skadi's only regiment. They had more people, but they didn't have the kind of temperament that could kill the enemy.

Secondly, without Commander Alan Bayer, they would not be able to form a mixed formation with the armored regiment in accordance with the empire's military regulations. He would not be able to coordinate operations without reading the relevant leg manuals.

That war was fought without a commander, and the Imperial Guard was doomed to be defeated. Therefore, he paid more attention to the cooperation with the Skadi Regiment. They were both infantry regiments and could fight together, and even took the initiative to form a close alliance. battle group to resist the enemy.

He took off his Eastern Army cap and stretched out his leg to the second lieutenant. "Commander of the Twelfth Regiment of Ashgaron, Sakata Tsunori, the Emperor is here and they need to cooperate."

the lieutenant replied. "That's what I need to know, Skadi, sir, because his command is nothing compared to the Lieutenant Colonel's."

"There is no need to belittle yourself, your will is like the jewels of the Golden Throne, Second Lieutenant." Captain Sakata looked at the badge on the Second Lieutenant's shoulder to determine his only clear information, military rank.

There is no shortage of unsung heroes in Skadi. In fact, no one's name matters in battle. All they have to do is dedicate their loyalty and lives to the Emperor, and those who commit bullets and death will be fine.

The 113th Regiment of Falaksia also developed a feeling of sympathy for each other with the 1st Pangea Armored Regiment. After their discussion in that battle, they decided not to activate the armored battle group.

Their enemies are not ordinary people. The Space Marines do not lack heavy firepower, and urban battles are also full of surprises and surprises. If the traitor Space Marines' rich experience and those damn heretical weapons destroy any nuclear platform's imperial war engine, it will be quite big. loss.

The red pirates fell into the hive city D with complex terrain. The hive worlds built by the Adeptus Mechanicus are different from the standard hive cities. Their goal is to transport large quantities of materials like blood vessels as their priority, rather than to inhabit them, so their area It's not big, but it's accessible in all directions.

If the Imperial Guard cannot stop the traitors like a virus, the Chaos Space Marines will roam the world like a disease and plunder.

The Imperial Guard is blocked like red blood cells, but in other words, they need to be deployed to various parts of the city in a very short time to block enemy attacks, which means they need to To evacuate manpower, if the city is completely blocked, 1,000 people will be stationed on one main road.

Although the Skitarii in that world can help, the character of the Mechanicus is not good at cooperation. The strength of a thousand people is not strong. It is also destined that the branch of the Imperial Guard will encounter attacks and cause a lot of losses. No reports of enemy presence there.

Such actions and tactics are very disadvantageous. They treat the emperor's currency and human lives as consumables in the war, but there is really no better way in the short term.

But Second Lieutenant Fu thought, would Alan Bayer agree to that stupid act like that? A foolish tactic that the loyal men and women of the Empire will use as signals or sirens in the future.

The Second Lieutenant has never fought in a war of attrition in his life, and it is extremely abnormal in the Imperial Guard, because humans are too weak compared to the countless monsters and monsters in the universe.

In many cases, the Eastern humans drag the enemy to death with endless war, logistics, death and blood, or directly destroy the enemy with the powerful firepower of armored regiments and artillery regiments.

Many complex actions are unnecessary for the human empire. That set of military theories can defeat 90% of the enemies in the entire galaxy. Most of the aliens or native creatures of that world will be destroyed by the wrath of the empire or the empire's hugeness. Productivity is exhausted.

In contrast, most Imperial Guards are quite averse to complex tactical planning, because the Imperial Guards are huge, making large-scale command extremely difficult and prone to losses.

Unless the soldiers are of extremely high quality and have a strong will to fight, even if the formation is separated and there is no staff, there will be no collapse and despair, and they can charge against countless monsters in the dark universe, otherwise most tactics will be useless.

There are only a handful of Imperial Guard regiments like this in the entire galaxy, and each one of them is the backbone and backbone of the Empire, and most ordinary Imperial Guards will choose the tactics described above.

Procrastinate, consume, wait.

But Cady didn't deny it. They fought the orcs in the forest without communication, killed the enemy in the dominated nest, and even defeated the red pirates, so much so that the second lieutenant proposed a bold battle at this critical moment.

It can even be said that it is crazy, at least in the eyes of Captain Sakata, it is definitely crazy.

The ensign said. "He refused. Deploying soldiers to the intersection means that if the path to the edge area is approached by the enemy, their soldiers will not have time to set up bunkers. They will directly come into contact with the Space Marines, and they will be at a numerical disadvantage."

Captain Sakata asked. "Did I mean that?"

the lieutenant replied. "They would die. He could not so radiate the Emperor's currency. He refused such action."

Captain Sakata shook his head. "If they can't stop the enemy, and they spread, the world will never be able to recover."

The ensign knew they didn't have time to waste time, so he spoke directly.

"He begged for urban street fighting with those Space Marine traitors. The Skadi would crush those things, just like before."

Sakata scolded him directly. "He knows my miracle, but it's not the same as it was in the forest or the hive city!"

The second lieutenant looked at the regiment commander without hesitation. "Same, exactly the same. The Skadis are Hive City residents. They just went home that time. Realistically, if they can't defeat the heretics there, the defense line will be easily breached, sir!"

Sakata looked at the young man in front of him, and then at the clock that kept beating. He had no choice. He had to choose a tactic, no matter what...

But he saw the few soldiers standing behind the second lieutenant. They were all the emperor's miracles and heroes. They were determined, loyal, powerful, and ridiculously well-equipped.

He took a deep breath when he realized he couldn't stop the young man in front of him. "Go ahead and try it! Skadi people!"
