Chapter 1736 Heretic Offensive (Part 2)
Less than half an hour after the Red Pirates launched their attack, the three tank regiments stationed in Ainin were all attacked. More than fifty Leman Russ vehicles were attacked in the first round of the attack. was destroyed, but the tank crews struggled to start their tanks despite the flames and bullets, and finally got some of the Leman Russ to move.
Then the Red Pirates suffered their first wave of losses. At least 10 Terminators were directly wiped from the ground by the tank's main gun. Even the thick Terminator armor could not survive the close range bombardment. .
The tank crews who did not have tanks did not panic and tried to cover the only tanks in the battle, shooting with their laser guns and throwing grenades, although the firepower of this small weapon could not penetrate the Terminator's armor. However, it interfered with the traitors. Some bold tank soldiers even used fuel to make simple Molotov cocktails and used the cover of surrounding buildings to smash at these armored giants.
The Red Pirates made a mistake by sending out the Terminators alone, and after losing more than twenty Terminators, the Red Pirates retreated from the heavy fire from the tanks
Although the enemy was repelled, the armored forces stationed in Aining also suffered huge losses and were no longer able to play a key role. The Red Pirates' tactical intentions had been completed.
With the defensive forts destroyed and communications disrupted, there was nothing to hinder the troop-laden assault boats as they dropped into the city.
Wearing blood-red armor, with a red pirate logo printed on their chests, and holding standard lasers, Tyrant Legion soldiers filed out of the assault boats. They moved quickly and standardly, just like ordinary Astra Militarum troops - except for more Apart from being cruel and bloodthirsty.
At the same time, the assault boats were accompanied by a large number of gunboats and Thunderhawks. They passed over the streets, intermittent fire slamming into the sides of buildings or gouging craters from the pavement.
Horrorful screams rang out as civilians poured out of their damaged homes, filling the streets with a crowd of frightened humans.
And the heretical soldiers advanced with ruthless efficiency, bayoneting civilians to death, gunning them down on their doorsteps, and driving them into the streets with ruthless slaughter.
The goal of this cruel strategy soon became apparent, and pdf had already built barricades on the streets to block the enemy's attack.
Driven by bayonets behind them, the desperate civilians rushed towards the front of the garrison.
The PDF commanders hesitated to give the order to fire on their own people. By the time the belated order was given, the civilians had already crashed into the soldiers, confusing their ranks and breaking down the barricades. defense.
“For the King of Black Hearts!”
The soldiers of the Tyrant Legion roared slogans and broke down the pdf barricades. At the same time, as transport boats dropped tanks and artillery to the ground, they began to receive heavy firepower support.
The situation in Ainin worsened further, and more than three million soldiers of the Tyrant Legion were dropped to the ground. They fought and slaughtered on the one hand, while the Thunderhawks also dropped their deadly cargo——
Chaos Space Marines.
On the other side, after a period of confusion, the nearly ninety-year-old planet governor arrived at the relatively safe command room.
Situated underground in Aining, it's spacious, the generator still working and bright strip lighting throwing a sterile artificial glare from the polished white surfaces of the accessories.
The planet governor looked at the huge screen and watched the horrific scenes unfold. Chaos and heresy engulfed his homeland in front of his eyes.
Despite the horror that had engulfed him, he desperately tried to maintain his tall and dignified demeanor.
Although this governor was born into a hive noble, his family was not prominent. He also served in the Astra Militarum and reached the rank of regimental leader in the Badab War. He served in several galaxies. He fought on more than a dozen planets and also fought against the Star Claws of the past.
The Emperor allowing me to survive the battlefield is a blessing in itself, he mused, absently tugging at the gorgeous brocade on his sleeves.
Then tears flowed down the painful cheeks of a broken old man.
He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of failing in his duty.
Boom - Suddenly, the explosion tore the wall apart.
The Governor's bunker was designed to counter rebellion and civil strife, and proved to be no obstacle to the Chaos Space Marines, who were accustomed to breaching the bulkheads of starships. So know exactly what to do.
The huge steel door blocking the entrance to the bunker quickly turned to slag under the concentrated blast of the plasma cannon, but molten metal was still dripping from the frame as the Red Pirates rushed through the opening.
"Uh"
The planet governor groaned in the smoke. Although the protective force field he carried prevented the explosion from tearing his body apart, it could not eliminate the kinetic energy of the explosion, causing him to hit the wall hard.
Subsequently, along with the sound of heavy footsteps, a figure full of spikes appeared in his blurred vision.
As the red pirate stared down at the broken governor, a sarcastic laugh came from under his helmet.
Although most of the bones were shattered, the planetary governor tried to protect the object pressed against his chest, wrapped tightly in his clothes.
The red pirate thought it was some valuable item, so he stretched out his hand and broke the old man's arm, then opened his clothes, but what caught his eyes was a real shining plasma grenade——
Finally, the planet The Governor forced a smile.
"Fuck you heretic bastard——"
The flash of light engulfed the two of them in an instant.
————————
"I heard that the Cadian people are great warriors."
Commissar Grigori's visor fogged up as he shouted at the communication bead under his respirator.
"But at this moment, it's the opposite. What I see are motherless cubs, ready to die in the mud! Get up and fight, you cowards! Follow your commanders, or humiliate your ancestors!" ”
Grigre had no way of knowing how much of the explosion was audible as the shells tore up the ground around them, kicking up soggy dirt and tearing apart any unfortunate Cady who came close enough Demi-human, but he believed his message had been conveyed.
He is a strong man, fully capable of providing on-the-spot discipline when needed, with dark eyes that stand out in his olive face, and the collar of his black coat turned up, almost touching his The brim of his hat, when watched by his hawk's eye, had frightened many a lowly soldier, and they had seen him kill enough cowards and outlaws to know that if a commissar needed to set an example to prevent a rout, then surely Would set an example with a shot to the back of the head.
But in fact, Political Commissar Gregor prefers to use threats to inspire troops to take action rather than practical applications. Rather than pushing soldiers to death, he is more about keeping them alive.
The entire battlefield from the outer walls of the city to the fortress is covered by a barbed wire fence and filled with anti-vehicle mines. Careless people may also fall into trenches full of spikes.
This is the fortress where the Kadian 356th Regiment is stationed. At the first moment of the attack, the commander of the regiment ordered all members to enter combat mode. Compared with those troops in the city, those located on the outskirts of the city They have more time to prepare.
Although contact with the central command center was lost, Garland Salomon, the commander of the 356th Cadian Regiment, immediately contacted the Astra Militarum Strategic Command. Although he was disturbed by various noises, However, with the help of military long-range communicators, they still contacted friendly forces and obtained the latest instructions.
Actually, this is not an instruction, but a suggestion——
Stay where you are
