Chapter 970 Death March
The cultists did not expect that the Death Army would appear from the flanks. At least half of them were bitten before they could retreat to the starting point. They tried to resist on the spot, but what greeted them was Ke Rigg's well-trained volleys and dense laser showers.
In an instant, rows of cultists fell to the ground with scorching bloody holes on their bodies.
The standard weapon of the Krieg soldiers is the Lucius model No. 98 laser gun. This laser gun is a single-shot weapon and is powerful, but the rechargeable battery can only supply 25 shots of the weapon and requires Frequent replacement, and each charging time also takes a long time.
But the fear of Krieg soldiers is not just the laser guns in their hands.
"Wow!!"
A cultist swung a mace made of iron chains and iron rods at a Krieg, but the opponent flexibly smashed it open with the handle of the gun, and then With his free left hand, he quickly pulled out an engineer shovel from his back and swung it violently.
The cultist's tattooed face soon split into two from his chin, and he fell down with a shocked expression.
Such scenes continue to be staged everywhere. The hand-to-hand combat capabilities of the Krieg soldiers are among the best among the Astra Militarum. After approaching the cultists, they quickly eliminated the enemies with bayonets and engineer shovels, and then continued to charge.
The Kadian 99th Regiment also organized an offensive formation and began to attack the enemy's ambush position.
Only then did Colonel Acat discover that the enemy had built horseshoe-shaped trenches in hidden areas and deployed a considerable amount of heavy firepower.
The fierce firepower hit the Chimera's bulletproof plate directly. In the mud, broken bulletproof plate fragments were flying everywhere. Colonel Acat hurriedly retracted from the gun position into the cabin - his command The car was totaled so it was transferred to the auxiliary car.
Krieger's soldiers rushed into the large hole in the damaged bulletproof plate, fired at a certain rhythm, and put the enemy down in the trench.
Soon, these corpses were piled up to block the damaged hole.
The noise of the battle was deafening, and there were echoes in the sky, as loud as thunder.
Colonel Acat couldn't tell for a moment whether it was artillery fire or a storm that was shaking the earth
After arriving at the front of the enemy's position, Colonel Acat learned his lesson, got out of the car, and prepared to conduct command on foot.
At this time, a Chaos soldier who was originally knocked down and thought to be dead suddenly stood up and crawled over the sandbags towards Colonel Acat.
His chest was blown open, blood was dripping from the exposed tissues and ribs, and his ferocious face was covered with fangs.
After seeing Colonel Acat, he howled and rushed forward brandishing a machete.
Colonel Acat was dazzled by the dazzling firelight, and did not even notice the enemy so close at hand. But at the critical moment, a Krieg soldier rushed over and fired fiercely at the attacking cultist, killing the chaotic bastard. Knocked away.
Colonel Acat turned his head, not knowing how close he was to death.
He met the Krieg soldier's eyes, but could not see the face under the gas mask at all. The empty eyepiece made him shudder, and he even suspected that under the gray military coat, Is it a human being with flesh and blood, or a walking corpse?
The Krieg soldiers looked at him for three seconds, then turned around and continued charging.
“A bunch of weird guys”
Colonel Acat wiped the blood from his face and picked up his binoculars.
There are still many dark shadows crawling in the trench, which obviously indicates something: even the murderous gun cannot kill these people contaminated by Chaos at once, and many people who have been knocked down are still far away. Not dead, they were slowly getting up and starting to attack again.
“Grenade!”
Colonel Acat shouted over the comms, and the soldiers took out their grenades and threw them over the front and into the trench.
The shock wave generated by the explosion stirred up a large amount of mud and bulletproof plate fragments, and also shocked all the cultists still inside.
"Pay attention to the trenches! They won't die that easily." After the ambush position was breached, the Chaos soldiers began to gather in the nearby hills. Due to the assistance of the Chaos Space Marines, not even the Krieg soldiers rushed up this time.
"Basilisk Squad! Give me a base!"
But attacking is exactly what the Cadian and the Krieg are best at, Colonel Acat Immediately organize the firepower on hand to bomb the enemy stronghold.
The Basilisk is also the most famous and most numerous artillery in the Astra Militarum. It is based on the chassis of the Chimera armored vehicle and is equipped with an earth-shaking cannon for direct or indirect fire, which is enough to destroy most ground surfaces. fortifications.
With the roar of the Basilisk Earthshaker Cannon, plumes of smoke rose from the enemy's position, and large amounts of soil and flesh fragments were thrown into the sky.
But the enemy's counterattack also followed, also with artillery fire and the roar of the demon engine.
“What is that?”
Colonel Acat stared blankly at what appeared in the distance.
It is as big as an Emperor's Baneblade. It is a complete four-legged beast, like a suture of a bloodthirsty hound and an angry bull. It is covered with layered black heavy armor, drooping A pair of demonic eyes were shining on his head, and the huge mouthpart was like a cannon barrel. A roaring mass of metal and flames could be seen inside, with thick steel tendrils wrapped around it.
And there are two huge rotating cannons installed on the thick arms on both sides of its body.
If there is a judge from the Demon Tribunal present, he will definitely call it by name.
The Furnace Goblin.
This demonic engine was originally designed to spread death among enemy troops from a long distance. Its huge body carries a pair of Hades automatic cannons. This rotating multi-barreled artillery allows them to get close to Contemptively easily harvest large numbers of enemy infantry and even light vehicles.
When a Daemon Engine is forged in a fortress within the Warp, a portion of the Warp Flame will be transferred to the core of the engine, and this sulfur-smelling furnace will power the engine's mechanical actions. At the same time, it will also inject harmful energy into the enemy, so what flies out from the muzzle of the furnace ghost is not an ordinary bullet, but a red phosphorescent shell, which is extruded from twisted and twisted steel cables. , there will be violent stirring and flipping inside.
So, when the beast roared and fired at the 99th Regiment's armored lines, disaster occurred.
The Chimera's armor could not withstand the firepower of the Hades' automatic cannons and disintegrated and exploded one after another. However, the cannons they carried were unable to cause substantial damage to the huge demon engines.
Seeing that the team lost seven or eight armored vehicles in a very short period of time, Colonel Acat was a little shaken. He wanted to suspend the attack and call for air support.
But——
“Ah, these lunatics!”
Suddenly, Colonel Acat heard the sound of neat footsteps. He turned his head and found that the Kriegs had lined up and charged towards the enemy.
This is almost tantamount to suicide.
The enemy's light and heavy firepower tilted down, and many Kriegs fell to the ground as soon as they took two steps, but those behind them passed over the corpses of their comrades and continued to advance silently.
"Crazy, crazy!"
Colonel Acat ripped his hat off his head and threw it to the ground, then roared, and then hit the sandbag hard.
"We can't let these living dead underestimate us!! Cadian! Attack now! One after another, prepare the demolition hand! I have to gnaw down that monster with my teeth!!"
