Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

"Brothers, come up!"

Braun roared and waved the pistol in his hand. He took the lead and rushed to the front line of the hail of bullets. He opened fire behind the bulletproof shield. Around him, the emperor's soldiers entered the position one after another, setting up their guns and pointing towards the people on the opposite side of the square. Fire breaks out in the streets.

Bullets were shooting from the sun. Braun crouched down and leaned behind the shield wall to peek out. A soldier bent over from the other side and said, "Sir, the west defense line has been breached and the enemy has entered Picardy." Leigh Street.”

"Then we have to drive them out. The fourth row stays, and the third row! Follow me!" Braun waved loudly, and the surrounding soldiers immediately stood up and followed him. Their positions were taken by another group of soldiers and headed towards Fired violently outside.

Braun led the soldiers through the position and kicked in from a building on the side of the defense line. They passed through the building and quietly came to the side of the battle line. They leaned behind the window and saw the Tau entering there. infantry.

"Brothers, follow me! Drive them out!" Braun shouted, pulled out his weapon shovel and turned it over. He raised his hand and shot an unprepared Tau in the head. The other Tau picked up their weapons one after another. gun, but immediately fell into a chaotic hand-to-hand fight with the Astra Militarum rushing towards them with bayonets in hand.

The fight between the two sides was bloody, but in general, the humans finally gained the upper hand. The Tau's weak melee combat capabilities suffered greatly here. Under the repeated blows from the weapon shovels, bayonets and gun butts, the Tau were defeated. They were beaten to a pulp, leaving a dozen corpses behind and fled in panic. Soon the Tau who invaded the flanks of the battle line were wiped out.

Brian pulled out the bloody military shovel from the corpse on the ground, but before he could take a breath, he immediately began to dodge bullets fired from a distance.

"Take cover! Find cover!" the old sergeant yelled. The platoon of soldiers under his command immediately dispersed around and hid in the ruins of the bunker and fired back. The hail of bullets hit the end of the street, where the Tau organized themselves again. attack.

"Soldier! Contact the general and tell him that we have recaptured the west side avenue, but we don't know how long we can hold it. Please ask for support." Braun shouted to the soldiers beside him, who immediately nodded, "Understood, sir!"

After saying that, he stood up and left immediately. Braun also stood up immediately and joined the counterattack. The soldiers rushed through the hail of bullets with their guns in hand, climbed over the windows, passed through the ruins, and got onto the main road full of soldiers.

He ran past there quickly. On both sides were platoons rushing to the front line to support them. Armored vehicles rumbled behind them. Above their heads, rockets and rapid-fire artillery shells shot straight into the sky, as did the ghosts that kept passing over the city. Fight into a ball.

The soldier ran across the street. He came to the entrance of a subway station, stepped forward and saluted the guard behind the sandbags at the door, and then gasped and said, "I want to see the general."

"He's down there." The soldier behind the sandbag immediately turned his head. After nodding, the soldier walked through the position and ran into the subway station. He ran down the escalator that had already been powered off with a gun in his hand, making a clanging sound under his feet. , there were more soldiers rushing up beside him, and soon he went down to the underground area.

The place was full of civilians fleeing the bombing, wailing wounded, and troops who were on standby and preparing to rush to different front lines along the subway tunnel for support. The soldiers passed through them and arrived in front of the subway door amid bursts of explosions.

"Stop, soldier." The officer on duty at the door raised his hand and said, and the soldier stopped and saluted him, "Sir, I bring news that we have retaken the west side of the street and are holding on to the central square, but we are suffering from fierce enemy violence. Attack, continue to support.”

The officer nodded, "I will tell the general about this and return to your post."

"Yes, sir!" The soldier said, and immediately turned around and left. The officer and the sentries on duty nodded to each other, and then pushed open the heavy door behind him and entered the corridor. He quickly passed through the closed corridor, and the sound of explosions on the ground , also kept ringing deep underground.

He found Political Commissar Kane who was here and leaned forward to whisper something to him. The latter nodded, and the officer immediately saluted and left. Kane then opened the door behind him and walked into the conference room behind the door.

At least it is functionally a conference room. This was once an office in a subway station, but is now used as the headquarters of the Astra Militarum. Many people are here, gathered around a large table. Kane squeezed through before getting closer. The table with the city map.

Vito was sitting at the table, holding his chin with his hands, listening to the reports from the people around him. The staff officer bent down and pointed at the red circle on the map in front of him, "The Tau are attacking along the Vaas River. They tried to cross the river, but were blocked. We fought back three times and were organizing new attacks. At Falgar Avenue, the Tau's attacks also failed repeatedly. The boys drove them out of the station with bayonets, but the Tau were mobilizing combat uniforms and preparing to launch the sixth attack."

"In addition, the Tau blew up the No. 16 Railway Bridge. Some of our people were trapped on the east bank of the river. The battlefield system is still up and down. We can't contact them." The chief of staff pointed and said, Vito nodded.

"Let the defense forces launch an attack, attack from the streets to the north, open up the communication channel with this pedestrian bridge, and cover the retreat of the troops on the east bank here. Can they make contact?"

"The SADF? Yes, General, you can, but their commander claims they have too many casualties to attack."

"False, they have been in reserve positions, shooting their officers and ordering them to attack."

"Yes, sir, let's do it now."

The staff officer immediately called another officer nearby, who immediately passed on the order. The staff officer looked at Kane, nodded respectfully, and then gave up his seat.

Kane stepped forward, nodded to Vito, and leaned closer to the map. "Brian and his men have recaptured the western defense line, and the central square position is still in our hands, but this is only temporary. The Tau are still organizing an attack." Kane said, "Our boys have suffered heavy casualties, and the Tau have organized another attack. I'm afraid the Emperor's will can't support them for much longer." Vito looked at the map on the table in silence, with his hands folded in front of him. Another officer approached from the other side, "Sir, new news, the Tau have mobilized the Kroot to attack and captured the station. They are only three kilometers away from here." "Can we organize a counterattack?" someone asked, and the officer shook his head, "The brothers there have counterattacked nine times, and the station is full of corpses." "General." Someone pushed the door open and Vito looked up at him. It was an agent of the Inquisition, Amberley's man. He was quite conspicuous in the crowd. The agent walked through the crowd and approached the table. "We found it." The agent said, which made Kane and the people around him a little confused. "What is it? What did you find?"

The agent did not answer, but Vito pushed the table and stood up. He nodded to the agent, then patted Kane on the shoulder and walked to the door. Kane followed him, followed Vito and the agent out of the gate, and came to the inside of the subway station.

The soldiers along the way saluted them one after another. After Vito saluted them in return, he went straight to the subway track. The gate there had been pushed open to allow the troops here to jump in and attack from underground along the underground track. Now, Vito jumped down.

There were already many stormtroopers of the Tribunal waiting here. They were holding defensive guns with flashlights, and one of them gave Vito a flashlight.

Kane was also handed to one, and then he jumped into the underground tunnel puzzledly. He looked at the subway train parked behind him and the rails under his feet.

"Where are we going?" he asked, and Vito lit the flashlight and shone the light to the end of the tunnel.

"I'll know when I see you, follow me." He said, and walked into the darkness with a flashlight. Kane glanced at the Inquisition agents behind him who also turned on their flashlights, and followed him in confusion. The Storm Troopers followed behind them, and the group walked into the darkness and gradually disappeared at the end of the darkness.
