Chapter 2039 The Shrinking Red Pirate
“Let’s alert the snake.”
Gallian first ordered a cannon to be fired on the second floor of the Governor’s Mansion to expose his position, and then released smoke and retreated into the great ruins of the collapse.
Sure enough, three Leman Russ appeared, along with a large group of infantry.
Due to the installation of jamming equipment, the Iron Ode was not detected by the enemy's auspicious device. Although the Cruel Blade was extremely large, with the help of the reinforced array metal fiber alloy chassis, it could travel at low speeds But unusually quiet.
It shifted its position to a distance of about six hundred meters behind the enemy.
At this time, the defenders of the Red Pirates were unaware of the approaching misfortune. The Iron Ode drove smoothly, aimed its gun barrel at the enemy's last Leman Russ, and then opened fire.
It hit the bottom of the enemy tank's turret, and the Leman Russ exploded immediately, taking away dozens of surrounding infantry.
The enemy fell into chaos instantly. The infantry were looking for bunkers everywhere, while the tanks were trying to turn around.
The Iron Ode fired again, destroying the second vehicle. At the same time, the quadruple laser cannons on both sides also fired at the ruins at their highest rate of fire, suppressing the infantry.
Boom——
There was a loud noise, it was the enemy Leman Russ who opened fire.
“We were hit!”
The shell hit the front of the tank, landing just in front of the main gunner’s position. Ordinary people might faint from the impact, but they all He is a Space Marine, wearing power armor, which equals two layers of protection.
“Don’t worry, the rebels do not have the ability to produce special ammunition. The original Leman Russ battle cannon can only fire high-explosive shells and capped armor-piercing shells.”
Galian checked the situation and confirmed that there was no damage to the Iron Ode. As an infantry tank, the original model of the Leman Russ was not very suitable for armored warfare, especially against overweight armor.
This is also the reason why he dared to attack the enemy at close range so boldly.
"Deal with it."
After discovering that he could not shake the Cruel Blade with one shot, the Leman Russ immediately began to reverse and release smoke, preparing to escape, but the smoke was at close range This situation has minimal impact on the Cruel Blade's sighting equipment.
“Fire!”
In the blink of an eye, with a flash of light, the Leman Russ was also destroyed.
After that, the infantry lost their courage and began to flee. Iron Ode did not pursue these pawns. It turned towards the main entrance of the Governor's Palace under the command of Gallian.
At this time, the Space Marines had begun to besiege this huge building. The Chaos Space Marines and the defenders inside were resisting desperately. They detonated the explosives at the main entrance, causing the huge stone pillars to collapse and seal the door, while they themselves Then hide on the second floor and fire at any target that tries to get closer.
The Governor's Palace has a secret armory, which contains many plasma weapons and melta weapons. They are also a threat to the Imperial Space Marines.
"Second Company Commander, do you need help?"
Seeing the Cruel Blade rumbling towards him, Ustad, who was commanding in a building with half the wall missing, smiled. They happened to be blocked by the enemy at the gate.
"Of course, there is a plasma cannon on it. I need your help to knock it out."
"Copy that."
Ode to Steel did not go directly to the battlefield, but instead went around. a direction.
"Second Company Commander, I need you to attack tentatively."
"No problem." Then, a tactical team from the Second Company jumped out of the bunker and advanced more than 20 meters towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Then quickly retreated.
A flash of light shot out from a window on the already pitted second floor of the Governor's Mansion, and then blue plasma caused a violent explosion on the ground, and the Space Marines immediately retreated to a safe position.
"Guy, I marked the location of the enemy plasma cannon, fire as soon as possible or they may move."
"Roger!"
Three seconds later, the main cannon of the Iron Ode roared, triggering a violent explosion, and several broken corpses wearing red power armor could be seen being thrown out from the second floor. .
"Iron Wolf, Bronze Ghost, concentrated attack on the gate, the brothers of the second company can't wait."
"Received."
Three Brutal Blades rumbled Driving out of the ruins of the building, several armor-piercing rockets struck but could only raise a burst of harmless smoke. Then their main guns fired a salvo at the gate of the Governor's Palace, and the huge building debris instantly collapsed. It broke into countless smaller pieces, shattering into pieces along with the rebels hiding behind.
"Second Company! Go!"
Under the suppression of the Brutal Blade, the firepower of the defenders at the main entrance of the Governor's Mansion suddenly weakened. Ustad seized the opportunity and ordered an attack. Under the guidance of the company flag, The soldiers of the second company quickly rushed into the governor's palace.
The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and the continuous gunfire throughout the Governor's Mansion basically stopped, but gunfire could still be heard throughout the city.
Galian, who took off his helmet, sat on the turret of the Iron Ode, with one leg on the main gun, watching the warriors of the distant battle group gradually walk out of the Governor's Mansion, while the devotee battle group solemnly Carrying their fallen brothers, only two people from the team that had previously sneaked into the Governor's Mansion survived, and everyone expressed their respect for them.
Second Gunner Rams is using paint to draw a white Skyhawk mark on the side of the tank to represent the amount of enemy armor they destroyed during this battle.
Suddenly, the whistling in the sky attracted Galian's attention. It was a Stormbird, and then he murmured:
"The Chapter Master is here."
When Soshyan came from When Storm Bird walked out, the casualty report and enemy annihilation report had been sent to him.
By any measure, the progress and outcome of this battle was perfect. Only the Devotees lost eleven warriors, the other chapters and companies had only wounded, and the enemy had a hundred Chaos. The Space Marines were all wiped out.
Considering the amount of effort invested in this battle, this result is not very surprising.
But Soshyan also had new worries. This was going too smoothly. Considering the importance of this world, Huron almost gave up the place without any resistance, and the reconnaissance force also sent a message not long ago. According to the news, they found the so-called portal, but that thing was actually a fake, which meant that Huron had no intention of letting the people on the planet evacuate.
What is the reason for all this?
With such doubts, Soshyan temporarily stopped in Tovack and ordered that the Dark Angel and its sub-groups continue to sweep the Mag star cluster and continue to search for traces of the demon prince Malbas.
While the expeditionary force headquarters stayed in Tovack, news from far away continued to gather here.
The White Templar has completely taken control of the Lamptan Galaxy, and Arash is waiting for Soshyan's new instructions.
On the Salamanders' side, the previous attack on the Crow System had not gone smoothly. Their opponents were the Blood Serpents. These highly disciplined Chaos Space Marines made it difficult for the Salamanders, but suddenly these people all evacuated and abandoned the mortals under their command. Servant, Tu'shan was finally able to command the army and occupy the system.
The battle on Badab's side is basically coming to an end. Under the fierce attack hosted by Herbrecht, Honso, who has lost all external aid, has exhausted all his cards, although he did give the expedition The army has caused huge casualties - more than 17 million mortal troops have died so far, and more than 600 Space Marines have been killed.
The way left for Honso now is to either hold on to Badab to the end or run away, but Helbrecht has vowed to put this bastard in a cage. What will be the outcome? The results will probably be available in a month or two.
Asking for a monthly ticket! ! ! ! !
