Chapter 260 Firepower Supremacy
The light blue light bullet passed through the hail of bullets, passed through the diffuse black smoke, passed through the hope of the Iron Warriors, accurately shot from the barrel, and hit the powerful shell.
The explosion turned the Typhon heavy siege tank into burning scrap metal, and the surrounding mortals and the two Iron Warriors were also blown into ashes.
The burning garbage pile outside blocked the passage. The surrounding soldiers could finally take a short break. To be precise, it was a shift change.
A small group of anti-psionic warriors came out of the underground passage directly below the void shield group and changed shifts with the injured warriors.
This underground passage leads directly to the lowest underground network. Although the excavation has not yet been completed, several void shield groups around it have been connected together.
From the beginning to the end, learning the spirit of Talan is just a word to deceive the enemy. We never intend to engage in large-scale armored warfare and defensive battles to hold the fortress with the enemy. We use these full-channel "provocative" words to implant a message in the enemy's subconscious. That means we have to fight to the end.
The Iron Warriors favored enemies like this, in Perturabo's words, "so that they could be slaughtered without scruple after the fortress was breached."
The entire fortress was a trap, pulling the Iron Warriors into a place where artillery fire could not support them. In the small space where the Astartes had an absolute advantage, and in what they thought they were best at, they were being slaughtered.
Mortal traitor? Heavy armor? No, we don't care, we just want to trick all the tens of thousands of Iron Warriors in, and kill them head-on.
Soon, the enemy cleared away the ruins of the tanks. In their reports, these huge armored Astartes were seen as a new type of Imperium-made Terminator. The Iron Warriors gathered their spirits, and then... .
It's still the same three-axe, bombarded with artillery, mortals consume the enemy's ammunition and energy, and finally the elite troops of the Iron Warriors attack.
But after three rounds of attacks, the final fortress was still rock solid. The enemy finally became angry. They used melta bombs to blast a way out of the pure metal wall dozens of meters thick.
The fourth team of Iron Warriors sent 15 veterans wearing Indomitable Terminator armor. They captured these armors from the renegade 41K Astartes Chapter during a civil war and formed a breakthrough battalion. Their mission It is to forcefully rush into the enemy's formation, open up a place to place a teleportation beacon, and allow 20 other Terminator warriors to teleport in.
The formation of our soldiers was still that of letting the enemies come in and slaughter them. The newcomers who had just been replaced were full of energy and very wild... lying in the pile of enemy corpses and pretending to be dead.
After the enemy came in and fired for a while, they noticed that we were being shot and had no reaction, so they approached us cautiously.
The commander hesitated for a moment and did not place the beacon immediately.
They were very cautious. When they were approaching us, their teammates were still firing explosive bombs, but it was useless. Almost at the same time, ten soldiers "awakened" together, swung their battering rams and smashed them at the approaching enemies.
The enemy who immediately carried the melta bomb on his back and wanted to rush through the hall to blow up the void shield group was hit by six direct-fire missiles, fell to the ground, and was killed by melee weapons.
Faced with a terrifying enemy armed with a plasma gun and an innocent man, the Iron Warriors who led the team immediately placed a beacon, and a group of enemies teleported in, but our soldiers did not panic.
There are more than thirty terminators. Come on, brothers on the lower bunk.
The ten soldiers whose Belisarius furnace had been triggered were eating food sticks and resting below. When they heard the call from above, they put on their helmets and rushed up.
Such a scene appeared next to more than a hundred small void shield auxiliary modules, and the casualties of the Iron Warriors became unbearable from the beginning.
Two thousand of the twenty thousand Iron Warriors are still on the battleship. Among the enemies who have come down, ten thousand are attacking hives and giant fortresses, and eight thousand are responsible for attacking this subsidiary module. In the first week of battle, Three thousand people were lost.
The advance on the hive side is even slower. The uppermost hives, the top hive, the upper hive, and the middle hive, are already empty. They are full of traps, bombs, and ambushed Astartes and death squads. The enemies who landed on the hive in gunboats launched endless sneak attacks and counter-assassinations against us.
In the "sunny" Shangchao, the power supply and artificial sun landscape are all normal. The large expanses of exotic flowers and plants and exquisite leisure tables and chairs below all show the luxurious life of Shangchao. In fact, on this planet, we have become After the home planet, this place became a park attraction and a good camping place for people on long vacations.
The blue sky suddenly shattered, and the three steel warriors fell from the wall of the "sky". The heavy sound of landing was followed by the sound of countless fragments colliding. Behind the broken hollow, there were rippling void shields and densely packed battleships in the sky.
The three Iron Warriors looked around, confirmed their positions, and immediately started to take action. However, there was a secret vibration sound coming from the surroundings. The elite veterans led by them immediately raised their guns and fired. After one explosive bomb, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and two lights flashed around them. Laser gun fire, but silence after two bolts.
Small groups of mortals were scattered like nails across the upper hive, their deaths telling the Emperor's angels the direction of the enemy.
Bright red battle armor emerged from the fountain disc. These warriors, with exquisite ceramic tiles on their heads, stood motionless in the water for three days and three nights, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
The sound of water from the fountain covered up the sound of them coming out of the water, and the firepower they were equipped with was enough to cover a ten-man group in the event of a sneak attack.
The three Iron Warriors were immediately hit by the saturation firepower they were most familiar with. One recruit tried to find a bunker and was knocked down by several consecutive explosive rounds after three breaths. The veteran is the wisest. He knows that his armor is the hardest thing on the entire battlefield. He shoots and charges in the direction of the enemy. His movements are fast and violent, but in the eyes of Primaris warriors, they are just as slow.
Most of our troops are Primaris new recruits, and the enemies are ancient warriors who have been on the battlefield for a long time. This collision effectively reduced the combat effectiveness of the Chaos side and improved the combat experience of our recruits.
Different from the scattered battles above, the upper part of the lower nest, which is the part in contact with the ground, is where large-scale troops are deployed.
The void shield of the hive blocked most of the artillery fire, but the artillery fire that advanced close enough and the shells flew low enough could still cover our position.
Combining the criss-crossing trenches with the metal bunkers of the hive, most of the defenders are the artillery troops brought by the planetary governors and the planet's original defense forces. A large number of civilian transport troops are constantly transporting supplies. to the front lines.
The enemy armored groups advanced crazily under the cover of Xu Jin's artillery barrage, while we carried out counterattacks at night with troops led by anti-psychic warriors, fighting for positions in trenches one by one, attacking the opponent's artillery positions, which had been dug long ago. Some of the tunnel exits are on large rocks, deep in mountains, or on river cliffs. Stones are lifted in various places, and death squads emerge from them, carrying individual missiles to attack the enemy.
Shortly after the start of the war, the enemy discovered our complex underground offensive and tried to penetrate our tunnels, which played into our hands.
The Red Torrent decisively gave up 15% of the tunnels. For the Iron Warriors, they had already won a huge victory and occupied a large amount of underground areas, but the counterattack had only just begun.
In the dark and damp paths, the Iron Warriors had broken through several blockades. They admired the enemy's fighting will, but their combat power was unbearable.
He walked step by step, it was dark because the black smoke had blocked all the lights, and it was damp because blood was flowing on the ground, sticky, and there was a disgusting friction sound with every step he took.
The mutinous mortal troops fought against the elite guards of various planets in the Calixis star field. Some achieved great victories, while others were evenly matched.
But it made no difference. The Iron Warrior was bored, and the cold thinking in his heart suppressed the emotions that were ready to move. His master told him to stick to his heart and not be like those cowards who gave up the dignity of the Astartes and became Monsters of the warp.
Oh, his master is already dead, in the iron cavalry type Terminator armor that was not even recovered.
The number of Iron Warriors was decreasing, he thought, and the Fourth Legion must completely and completely capture this tunnel, no matter how long it is.
All the victories achieved so far in the battle have not lost precious Space Marines, and all the defeats have permanently lost a large number of battle brothers, including their equipment.
The looted recruits can be born on the battleship, and the equipment... has not yet been delivered.
Since the beginning of the war, their connection with the rear has been completely cut off, and no plundered materials or forged equipment have been sent to the vanguard fleet through subspace.
The Iron Warrior is constantly assessing the current situation.
"Team 1, did you find anything?"
"No, we haven't seen the enemy's next blockade yet."
He was a little irritated. How long was this winding underground passage? They had to plunder the hidden supplies. Until now, they couldn't even recover the broken equipment. All the resources were buried under the thick earth.
Damn, it's as thick as a planet fortress.
fortress? fortress!
The Iron Warrior suddenly woke up. This was a trap, a trap to massacre us. We were heading towards a fortress, but there was no cover from any artillery fire.
His movements suddenly stopped, and he saw a piece of shining metal under his eyes, with a slight flow of blood on it.
Oh, it's my blood.
The long sword penetrated his neck from behind. The assassin silently pushed open the surrounding walls. There was a secret door behind. He dragged the body into it, then dropped a grenade, covering all traces of dragging with flames. .
Vashel finally realized that this was a trap. The opponent had an absolute advantage in melee combat. They had too many "Terminators"!
The second advantage of the Iron Warriors is that they are not afraid of death. Another kind of stubbornness is that they feel that the casualties are too high because the weapons carried by the commandos are not powerful enough.
The frontline squad requested more powerful weapons, a request that Warsmith Vashel refused.
Titans strike out, pierce enemy void shields and cleave through enemy defenses with melee weapons.
The bombardment density of battleships is increasing, and the void shield is overloaded faster and faster. In the fifth week after the war, the void shield that suffered a lot of bombardment allowed Titan's super-large transport ship to pass through the void shield area at a slow speed.
The tip of the hive collapsed, and the tall spiers fell from the sky and smashed into the ground positions. Many defenders were killed and more than a thousand Astra Militarum were wounded.
Multiple close bombings by enemy bombers had an effect, and the entire tip of the nest was blown away, followed by more direct bombing towards the void shield group area.
Under the cover of ground attack aircraft, a large number of Iron Warriors landed at the breach at the top of the hive. They did not rush deep, but moved steadily, opened up airborne areas, and covered transport boats to drop armored vehicles and city-breaking tanks.
In the ensuing war, these tanks brutally crushed the traps we set from above. Mines broke its tracks time and time again. The Iron Warriors used the most professional means to quickly repair it time and time again.
The mortar tanks used the most brutal method to blast cities into ruins. They were very professional. The biggest result was that our hidden three-person team was killed with one shot. Even the anti-psionic armor could not withstand this terrifying shell. .
This is when the Iron Warriors have their greatest advantage, but their weaknesses are also beginning to show, and they are running out of ammunition.
No transport team has emerged from the warp yet, and the mysterious enemy has prevented the Iron Warriors from receiving any supplies.
They came out of the subspace with few supplies and were ready to plunder. The shells of the mortars and the bombs of the bombers were showing signs of being insufficient.
They dismantled the scrap metal that had been blown to pieces and made simple war equipment, but it was a drop in the bucket.
When the sun rose on the thirty-seventh day, the Red Torrent launched the largest counterattack to date. Hundreds of millions of troops fought their way out of underground passages around the world and attacked enemy positions from all directions.
After having a comprehensive advantage for more than thirty days, although the Iron Warriors still dug fortifications and deployed defenses rigorously, the mortal defense forces had become lax. They did not think that the rats underground would have the guts to come out and attack them.
The troops standing guard leisurely closed their eyes and rested their minds. They seemed to be standing upright, but in fact they had fallen asleep amidst the pungent smell of gunpowder.
"Woo~~Woo~~~"
"What the hell? Hey, brother, wake up, wake up." The traitorous Astra Militarum pushed the mortal next to him whose entire face was covered with blisters.
"Hey, what's the sound? I guess it's those people who have launched a new war machine again. Let's just take care of ourselves." The mortal who was severely corroded by the subspace fell asleep again. It seemed that the affairs of the world were related to He has nothing to do with it.
"Brother, something is wrong. Why do I feel my feet vibrating?"
"What day's bombing didn't make the earth tremble for a long time? Why is it so strange... Oh, it is true."
"Woo~~Woo~~"
The supply transport truck took the lead, driving out of the ground with city-breaking melta and breaking through the enemy's position in an instant.
Countless close-range firepower on its back opened fire on the move, and enemy armies fell in droves.
Roscoe's ground sweeper rushed into the ground along the passage burned by the small train, and entangled with the enemy armored forces who reacted. Several anti-psionic warriors got off the small train, and soon tore apart the Iron Warriors' defense force. .
The Iron Warriors' communication channels were in chaos. We attacked more than 19,000 battlefields at the same time, dragging the entire continent into a sea of fire.
The White Scars even rarely wore Mark X type power armor, got on the fastest vehicle, and fought all the way to the feet of the Titan.
In front of the Titan's main gun, it doesn't matter what armor he wears.
There is a blind spot at the feet of the Titan. It usually uses War Stomp and a large number of coordinated attack troops to defend, but this time it failed.
The anti-gravity motorcycles of the White Scars are flying in the sky. How can war trample have any effect? They weave through the enemy's formation, dropping melta bombs one after another to attack the reactors on the enemy's legs. We don't care whether they are effective or not. We drop the bombs and walk away.
All the Iron Warriors who gathered in front of the fortress received news that the rear was being attacked. There were so many and so many messages that they didn't even know which battlefield to support.
Vashel immediately ordered their air force to attack, but the Chaos bombers found that the Empire's troops and their own land forces were strangled together, and they were completely unable to drop bombs.
Vascher conducted a pilot eleven-shot, and among the ten, one unlucky guy was chosen by lot and was subsequently beaten to death by the other nine.
It was meaningless, but it did boost morale. No one dared to disobey his orders anymore. Vasher ordered bombs to be dropped on all battlefields where there were no Iron Warriors, regardless of whether the troops below were loyal to the false emperor or to Perturabo. .
The empire's counterattack was repelled. The mortals left a pile of corpses and retreated underground, silently licking their wounds. There were almost no mortals left on the earth. The attackers needed to transport batches of mortals to the surface of the planet again. Reorganize the armored army into a sufficient size.
The enemy mobilized the mortal navy on the battleships and joined the battlefield. The number of personnel on each battleship was reduced to the minimum threshold-just enough to operate the battleship.
Ten million troops and thirty million logistics troops were redeployed to the battlefield, which took a lot of time.
In the seventh week, the regrouped Iron Warriors launched another offensive against the fortress.
They stopped bombing the nest and concentrated all the remaining warships to bombard the fortress' void shield.
It didn't matter that the Iron Warriors were determined to break through the hive with ground armor.
The most important thing is to capture the fortress, even if it is reduced to rubble.
The offensive and defensive battle for that fortress has been going on for who knows how long. There are dozens of holes opened by melta bombs at the bottom of the fortress, but the top wall of the fortress still belongs to the red torrent.
Most of the mortals were numb. They carried the artillery, loaded it, and fired it mechanically. They did not accept any orders because their ears were completely deafened.
Sometimes someone fell down, their internal organs were shattered by the shock, and massive internal bleeding took their lives. The corpse collection team just silently carried them away and stuffed them into the corpse starch making machine.
We need to use all the resources around us to protect our world.
Their opponents are enemy Titans that are visible to the naked eye. They are walking into the place where the void shield is. The predator melee type cooperates with the renegade knight family to try to demolish the entire fortress.
The war below was even more brutal.
Have you seen the Iron Warriors' group charge? There were gray cans and Rhino personnel carriers all over the mountains and plains, mixed with the enemy's armored siege vehicles, heading towards the breach of the fortress. The slow-moving missile flying in the sky accelerated after passing through the void shield, and the life-and-death showdown with the close-in defense cannon was about the survival of the thick outer wall of the fortress.
Have you ever seen the counter-charge of the red torrent? More than a thousand warriors wearing anti-psychic armor faced the enemy army head-on. Cannons bitten off by space manta rays from battleships were installed inside the fortress.
Whose good man installed the largest cannon inside the fortress?
we.
The exchange of fire between the mortar siege tanks and the battleship's secondary guns took place in the narrow and cramped passage. Each explosion would make the Astartes' attack range wider.
Cannonballs with a diameter longer than the height of the enemy Terminator destroyed the incoming city-breaking vehicles, and the Iron Warriors' assault was repelled by the determined defenders.
The enemy has used teleport beacons several times to guide large numbers of Terminators into the battlefield, and we have also thrown reality-anchored adamantine balls at the enemies after observing them deploying teleport beacons on several occasions.
The teleportation beacon's psychic guidance was interfered with by anti-psionic forces, and dozens of Terminators have been teleported and stuck in the earth.
The fierce battle was going on day and night, and the enemy's attacks were so large that we had to recruit more mortals to join the battle.
In terms of numbers, we have an absolute advantage. An ordinary cruiser can carry more than one million people. More than 200 battleships will not bring more than 400 million troops. As for the Astartes, 7,000 anti-spirits The able warriors face off against 20,000 steel warriors. In a head-on confrontation, we are absolutely sure to kill all the enemies.
However, the equipment disadvantage was obvious. The enemy's hundreds of thousands of armored troops made Yifeng's left eyelid jump. These were only the weapons carried by the vanguard fleet.
The Fourth Legion relied on its powerful ships and cannons to break through dozens of blockades of the huge fortress, and most of the Bagua Formation's defense model had been destroyed.
They are not stupid World Eaters who rush to challenge you desperately. They are adherents of the supremacy of firepower.
The bombardment of the ridiculously caliber cannons from the front was in stark contrast to the fierce battle in the tunnel below.
The enemy is best at three-dimensional saturation bombardment by sea, land and air. The battle in the sky is very ineffective due to the existence of void shields and large amounts of anti-aircraft fire. The battle on the ground is fierce but cannot break through.
The battle under the sea (crossed out) became a crucial factor.
The Iron Warriors are one of the legions that most like to use the Termite-class underground drilling vehicles. Those precious relics left over from the Great Crusade era roared beneath our land, bringing one team after another Iron Warriors commandos underground. deep within the web.
