Chapter 330: Information war, bloodbath of insect waves!
Helos Starport.
Peripheral defensive front, watchtower.
Ron overlooked the steel defense line that had been constructed.
The outermost Titan cluster, the Imperial Knights, and the super-heavy Baneblade tank group are already in place.
After the vehicle cluster, there are three defensive walls more than ten meters high and four to five meters thick, which are filled with densely packed heavy artillery and force field defense devices.
The deep trenches more than ten meters wide on both sides of the defensive wall are filled with promethium ultra-high temperature fuel.
Between defensive walls.
It is divided into more than ten defense zones, filled with heavy armor, sentries and other vehicles. Each unit will cooperate with these vehicles to fight.
At the very rear is a group of super-heavy heavy artillery.
at the same time.
The Blood Angels and the Sons of Man are also ready.
Eight hundred Centurion armored warriors, hundreds of Dreadnoughts, and many other warriors all successfully arrived at their defense zone.
There are also about one-third of the elite Space Marine veterans who are gearing up on the Thunderhawk gunship.
Go to various defense zones for support at any time and be responsible for attacking and dealing with node creatures.
Hiss~
"The Pioneer Hive has spent a lot of money this time. This large number is enough to flood the Helos Starport several times..."
Ron used the telescope to see Looking at the insect swarm in the distance, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Within sight.
The Tyranids were a massive mass of darkness, almost blocking out the light in the area.
Like a large shadow covering the sky.
It is slowly coming over.
Even from dozens of kilometers away, he could sense the screams of the insect swarms.
"Lord Savior..."
Dante looked down at the iron barrel-like war zone and its layout: "This is one of the strongest fortresses I have ever seen, even if it is just Temporarily, I believe it can withstand the swarm. ”
Actually.
Many arrangements in the war zone.
This chapter leader couldn't understand it, it was far beyond his previous experience.
Fortunately.
He does not need to worry about the command this time.
Dante turned to look at the tall back of the savior not far away, and the worries in his heart dissipated a lot.
This was the first time he felt so relaxed on the eve of a war.
Because the savior is in front of the soldiers.
I am no longer the most important one, I don’t have to bear all the burdens, I don’t have to be people’s only support.
“It’s great to have the guidance of a great being...”
Dante thought so.
He suddenly envied the Ultramarines and the battle groups under the Savior. They had the guidance of the Gene Father.
If only my genetic father could come back.
That would be great.
The Blood Angels have always believed that the great Sanguinius was not completely dead.
It’s just that there is no way to return for the time being.
"Do we really not need to go to the front line to command?" Dante still had some doubts and uneasiness about the fighting method of the Savior's armed forces.
Ron turned around, raised his hand and patted the old soldier on the shoulder:
“No need, we are just waiting here, just follow the command with peace of mind, not to mention, those The commanders who came out of Zhongji Academy are much more professional than me.”
He doesn't have to go to the battlefield to direct the overall situation like the regent or other chapter leaders.
That would be too tiring and difficult to balance.
If he has to do everything himself, then why does he have to spend so much effort cultivating talents?
To know.
The education funding of the Savior’s Territory accounts for 7% of the overall income, which is higher than any country in the previous life.
That’s the total income of hundreds or thousands of planets!
At this moment.
Below the watchtower stands a steel fortress about five meters high.
A heavy force field defense was built around the fortress, and two teams of Thunder Guards were even arranged to guard it.
It can be said to be heavily defended.
Because this is the heart of the entire Helos Starport war zone - the information command center.
Interior of the command center.
In the hall, dozens of virtual projections occupy most of the space.
These virtual projections receive signals from countless surveillance devices located throughout the war zone and beyond. With the support of the Mechanical Goddess, the signals can even be obscured by the Tyranids' shadows.
Conveyed to dozens of kilometers away.
Almost all information from the entire war zone was transmitted to the command center.
Through these virtual projections, the insect tide inside and outside the war zone can be clearly observed.
Today.
About sixty commanders work here, responsible for coordinating and commanding the entire battlefield.
They are all outstanding graduates of the Information Warfare School of Chungsi College.
On the podium.
Commander-in-Chief Dirksen stood straight, his eyes fixed on the changes in data on the virtual projection.
Don’t dare to slack off at all.
This is the first time that the information warfare department has participated in the war.
Derksen is a worker's child. With the grace of the Savior, he was able to study at Zhongsi College.
But the academy he joined and what he learned.
Something is different.
He studied subjects related to information warfare proposed by the Savior.
Due to the interference of subspace, alien psychic energy, and chaotic power.
Transmitting information on the battlefield is very difficult, and is often accompanied by many errors or even complete mistakes.
So in many cases.
Commanders will issue orders to fight freely, and then based on pitifully little information.
To command his troops.
Actually.
The war fought to the end, relying on the will and courage of the soldiers.
There isn't much strategy to speak of.
In most cases, it is either a matter of defense or a charge.
Only the original body, the chapter leader, or the legendary commander can issue accurate commands with their rich experience and sharp nerves.
To achieve amazing results.
But those are a very small number after all, and based on experience, there will always be omissions.
therefore.
The Savior proposed the concept of information warfare many years ago and set out to establish relevant academies to cultivate talents.
Let the military rely on the physical domain, subspace domain, and electromagnetic information domain to pursue "seeing far, reacting quickly, and striking accurately."
A trinity of operations is formed with an individual cutting-edge combat power strike system, a troop and vehicle cluster strike system, and a heavy long-range artillery strike system.
This is a remarkable advancement in combat concepts.
However.
Reality is cruel.
Before the mechanical goddess completely appeared.
These graduates of the Information War College have never been put to use.
Extreme simulation training can only be carried out over and over again on the virtual sandbox.
now.
They were finally able to step onto the battlefield and command an entire campaign, providing soldiers with specific and detailed information and coordinating support mobilization in all defense zones.
Show your worth to the great savior.
This is for the information warfare department.
Very important.
The success of this battle will determine their future.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the Tyranid swarm has entered the range of missile fire!"
The report came.
Derkson brought up the relevant virtual projection screen and looked at the black Tyranide swarm above.
Those endless torrents of fangs and tearing claws.
So terrible.
He gave the order calmly: "Mark important targets and let the long-range strike force carry out super-heavy missile strikes!"
Derksen's eyes were firm.
This battle.
He wants to let the alien bugs know the horror of the information warfare department and achieve irrefutable glorious results!
After the commander-in-chief's order was issued, the relevant person in charge immediately marked the relevant strike area and passed the information to the long-range strike force in the rear.
Buzz——
The area of the long-range strike force.
On the super-heavy platform more than ten meters long, the Apocalypse missile launcher was slowly raised.
Entered launch mode.
This weapon is composed of multiple missile tubes and can carry twenty rocket missiles. It integrates a highly automated automatic loading and targeting system.
Amid the incense of the tech-priests and the hymns of the mechanical goddess, the operators input data from the command center.
Then.
The valve was pulled sharply.
At the same time.
The same goes for several other heavy-duty platforms.
Bang!
With thick smoke.
Dozens of about five-meter-long super-heavy rocket missiles took off, swaying their wake, and screamed toward the area where the Tyranids were swarming.
On the watchtower.
"The war has begun..."
Ron looked at the super-heavy missiles going away and whispered.
This time.
The Savior Territory will fight against the alien swarm in an information-based combat mode.
Although in his opinion, the current information warfare method in the territory is still relatively crude.
But everything has a first step.
Any field.
Even small improvements can lead to huge results.
Especially in this dark, barbaric and superstitious dark century of mankind.
Ron believed it.
This battle will severely damage the Tyranid swarm!
……
Dozens of kilometers away.
Under the protection of a huge insect tide.
The nearly ten-meter-tall tyrant of the insect swarm moves, its sharp arthropods constantly leaving deep scars on the ground, and tearing insects are constantly being produced from its cavities all over its body.
Continue to breed larger insect swarms.
This tyrant is an extremely powerful mutant. As the top synaptic biological commander, he firmly practices the will of the hive.
Although limited by the Gestalt thinking of the Hive Mind, the Tyrant possesses complete self-awareness.
It is given more autonomy and can make tactical command adjustments to the battle situation.
Even able to learn from mistakes.
The swarm tyrant's eyes were cunning, and his sight spanned dozens of kilometers.
Look closely at the rising fortress.
Soon.
Its swarm will flood the place and grab all the biomass!
Hiss——suddenly.
The swarm tyrant sensed the threat, and his eyes showed a hint of fear.
Dozens of human weapons are coming this way!
“Why can humans on this planet develop such a long-range strike force in a short period of time?”
The synapse biological commander was a little confused.
But it reacted quickly and immediately screamed and issued defense orders to the insect swarm.
In an instant.
Many guard bugs surrounded it, using thick chitin carapace to surround it tightly.
At the same time.
The entire Tyranid swarm also defended itself.
Boom boom boom——
Dozens of super heavy rocket missiles struck at high speed and hit the predetermined target area.
The plasma missile split before impact, forming six pulsating plasma clusters, filling a large area with deadly plasma.
A large number of low-level insect swarms were burned into cokes by the high temperature.
The radiation missile sprayed out a large number of fragments containing highly toxic radiation, sweeping away all carbon-based life forms around it, and the subsequent intense radiation contaminated all the land in the area.
causing further damage.
Even more terrifying is the vortex missile, whose warhead is filled with primitive subspace energy.
It exploded at low altitude, creating a vortex field nearly half a kilometer in size that tore apart space.
Continuously sucking a large number of Tyranid aerial creatures into the warp!
The guard bugs around the swarm tyrant let out a shrill scream. This area was hit by several missiles almost at the same time, causing a lot of damage.
Their special chitinous carapace is broken down by heat and radiation.
Scarred.
The huge suction force that followed dragged them even further, sucking them into the subspace void.
However.
The swarm tyrant still resisted these attacks, relying on the chitin shield of the guard bugs and the nearby psychic shield on the body surface.
It was virtually unscathed.
Hiss! ! !
The swarm tyrant propped up his body and roared towards the sky, invisible spiritual energy spreading outward.
Inspiring the swarm of insects that were panicking under the heavy artillery fire.
The Tyranid swarm changed their formation, became more dispersed, and then launched an all-out charge toward the fortress.
They will reach the fortress as quickly as possible!
The Tyranid swarm is like a high-speed chitin flood, heading towards the defense line of Helos Starport.
After.
The insect tyrant changed his position under the cover of the insect swarm.
Become more invisible.
There is no way a human commander would find it at such a distance!
However, not long after the synaptic command creature charged, it was suddenly beaten again.
Because new attacks have arrived, and the target of several attacks is himself.
The swarm tyrant is roaring in his heart:
“Why can humans find me so quickly?!”
The next second.
The explosion of the melta missile releases a violent jet of melt, covering it.
……
Watchtower.
“Tsk, it’s still nice to clean the ground with artillery fire...”
Ron looked at the roaring violent explosion in the distance, feeling very happy.
Thanks to the existence of the Mechanical Goddess and the little cotton-padded spirit, these rocket missiles can survive the interference of the Tyranid shadow.
Hit the target accurately.
Zila~
He opened a bottle of Ice Cream and took a nice sip.
Subsequently.
Hand another can to Dante:
“Try it, it’s a specialty drink in our territory. Let’s relax now and wait until we are busy...”
< br>The chapter leader hesitated for a moment, then took it and drank it.
In an instant.
The coolness that penetrated his heart made his eyes light up and he took a long breath.
This is a special version of super mint ice cold that is more than ten degrees below zero and is exclusively provided by The Savior.
It’s good for refreshing.
Rumble——
The roar came again, and a new round of bombing began again.
Ron's eyes moved back to the bombing zone in the distance.
It has to be said that the Tyranid swarm is indeed powerful, and even the artillery fire cannot wipe them all out.
Many Tyranid swarms are already under cover of psychic creatures.
High-speed charge across the bombing zone.
Even though the missile bombing has greatly reduced the number of Tyranid swarms, their overall strength is still far higher than ours.
There are still significant threats.
Visible to the naked eye.
A shadow appeared on the ground. Tyranids' aerial troops blocked the light, and underneath were dense swarms of various insects.
Soon.
The Tyranid swarm reached the dense minefield outside the war zone, followed by round after round of mine bombardment.
Hiss! ! !
"Damn primitive ape!"
The Lord of the Swarm has been completely furious under the bombing.
It hasn’t seen what the enemy looks like yet, and most of the insect swarm has been lost!
This synaptic command creature once obeyed the will of the Great Devourer and devoured countless weak human planets without any disadvantage.
I have never been hit so hard!
Fortunately.
The remaining insect swarms are enough to overwhelm this fortress.
What a pity.
The Lord of the Swarm is still optimistic.
Because what awaits it next is a steel defense line constructed by Titan swarms, Imperial Knights and super-heavy tanks.
……
Different from the noisy swarm of insects.
Here a towering war machine stood quietly, with a red-bottomed gold-faced banner representing honor spread out between the Titan's shoulders and legs.
Floating in the wind.
It exuded strong coercion and faced the incoming swarm of insects.
Titan clusters, Imperial Knights and super-heavy tank arrays are waiting for orders from the command center.
Wait until the Tyranid swarm enters the best attack area.
These war machines received their respective attack orders, pouring firepower into the sky and the earth.
They used violent artillery fire, high-temperature flamethrowers, and plasma weapons to build a tight fire network of defense.
Harvesting the alien bugs in their respective areas with precision, efficiency and coldness.
The Tyranid swarm seemed to have hit an indestructible copper wall head-on, and the offensive instantly became sluggish.
Falled into a disadvantage.
Soon.
The swarm fought back.
Terrifying living artillery shells and acid bombs rained down, and spore mines exploded between tanks, spewing stinging and lingering poisonous mist.
But most attacks.
They were all blocked by the void shield of the Titan cluster.
Then.
The Tyranid swarm ushered in a more fierce artillery attack, and some small swarms even collapsed.
On the watchtower.
Ron quietly watched the massacre of steel against chitin.
He discovered something and frowned:
"Sure enough, the first defensive line is still unstoppable..."
The offensive strategy of the Tyranid swarm Something has changed, they are no longer obsessed with attacking the steel defense line.
Instead, they rushed directly towards the defensive wall under the gunfire.
Dante looked at this scene and became even more worried: "Lord Savior, the number of insect swarms is still too much. I am a little worried about the morale of the soldiers..."
Tyranid swarm The terrifying screams can be clearly heard, such surging sound waves and psychic pressure.
It will greatly damage our morale.
It can even render some weak-willed mortal troops incapable of combat.
in the previous battle.
The imperial support troops were seriously affected and suffered too many losses.
It also makes the battle of the Blood Angels more difficult.
But the next second.
The chapter leader heard the passionate and inspiring music.
That is the Holy Music of the Savior.
The sacred music projected by the hymn projection device completely suppressed the terrifying screams of the Tyranid swarm!
To this.
Ron didn’t have too many surprises, it was just a classic song.
“Your Excellency Dante, isn’t the sacred music good?”
He looked at the chapter leader and said in a gentle voice: "I will give you a set of hymns and related equipment later. It will be very useful."
The savior has decided.
After the war with Leviathan ended, the Blood Angels were listed as strategic partners and further cooperation was launched.
Provide various resources and help from the territory to comprehensively transform the Blood Angels and Baal system.
Now, the brothers are rich.
It's time to let other battle brothers live a better life.
Bang——
High temperature flames ignited in the wide trench.
Many insect swarms threw themselves into the promethium trenches, wailing miserably under the burning heat and flames.
But these flames cannot make the insect swarm retreat.
More insects stepped into it, using their bodies to pave the way for other insects.
Defensive wall.
Lasers and bolts sealed off the sky and the area in front of the barrier.
Tear apart countless Tyranids.
The Destroyer Centurion Squad and the Heavy Weapons Squad use autocannons and heavy bolters to kill smaller creatures.
The armor-piercing missiles, laser rays, and melt cannons turned those big guys into meat paste.
The snipers marked these high-risk targets one after another and injected tracking devices into their bodies.
Let the command center get information on these high-risk Tyranid units.
Above the city wall.
Two Dreadnought mechas, one red and one dark green, fought side by side. The two good brothers covered each other and poured out fierce artillery fire.
Within Tyran's command node.
The swarm tyrant hid his figure and carefully observed the battlefield through the reconnaissance unit, with a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.
Its sharp mouthparts twitched, feeling the... large amount of biomass gathered behind the defense line!
This synaptic command creature decided not to entangle with the defense line at all, but directly crossed the defense line to devour the biomass.
Moreover, I also found a way to carry out devastating attacks behind the defensive line!
Gradually.
Batch after batch of Tyranids rushed out of the fire net of the first defensive wall and rushed back.
That means the war has entered a higher intensity, and the two sides will engage in brutal close-range street fighting!
However.
That is the advantage of information warfare...
