Chapter 2650 Muddy Waters
". In the past few months, several offensives launched by the Adeptus Mechanicus were blocked outside the triple doorway of the temple, and the genestealers were very cunning enough to blow up all the surrounding buildings. , a large shooting area was cleared. Every time the Skitarii attacked, they had to withstand the enemy's ferocious firepower from high places, resulting in extremely huge losses. And if they wanted to attack from the lower passage, they had to face the narrow terrain and the pure and unpredictable nature of the enemy. What's worse is that the energy system of the Red Temple is completely independent. It can not only provide energy for itself but also other facilities occupied by the gene stealers, which means the energy weapons used by the aliens to defend themselves. There will be no 'ammunition' crisis, and their live ammunition weapons can also continuously obtain bullets produced by the factory from the rear, so this will be the focus of our attack!"
As the screen turns, The structural diagram of the glorious mechanical church was displayed in front of everyone.
“Considering the importance of this temple to Ekvolia’s faith, it is not appropriate to destroy its main structure, and there will be many obstacles in attacking from the bottom up, so the best way is here. ”
When Soshyan stretched out his hand, the structural diagram of the church changed from a front view to a top view.
Several company commanders immediately said in unison:
"Airborne."
"Yes, although the ruling sages of Ekvolia have launched several airborne raids, due to The Archaeopteryx's poor carrying capacity (it can only carry 6 Skitarii at a time is hard to complain about. In reality, the Black Hawk helicopter can carry 11 Maroons at a time, and even 20 can be carried if squeezed). Several airborne raids have failed. It ended in a catastrophic failure, so the aliens despised the defense of the top floor. In order to prevent air raids and bombings, only half-buried laser turrets were deployed. The personnel were hidden under the top floor, and most of the heavy weapons were deployed under the church. The middle and lower levels, so this is our opportunity. The laser cannon is a threat to the Archaeopteryx, but it is just a scratch for the Thunderhawk and Stormbird, and the void shield happens to be unable to defend against transport vehicles."
Definitely. Thanks to the detailed structural diagram, Soshyan was even able to clearly mark several passages at the top of the Red Temple:
“For the purpose of viewing the ceremony, there are three relatively spacious areas on the top floor of the Red Temple. However, the enemy is likely to have deployed defensive weapons such as mines there, so it is necessary to clear the firepower first, and then drop the soldiers to these three open spaces by hanging. There are a total of 4 passages from the top to the lower level. 1 spiral staircase and 3 automatic elevators. Once the enemy invades, they will definitely cut off the power of the 3 elevators immediately. Therefore, only the spiral stairs are allowed to pass, but the width of the chosen ladder is only 8 meters, which means that at most It can accommodate 3 warriors walking side by side. The Terminator may only be able to accommodate 2. The enemy will definitely focus on setting up defenses here, so in order to break through quickly, we need a passage. Ulan Huda happened to develop a new type of equipment, which may be able to help to us.”
As he spoke, Soshyan drew a few more circles on the map.
“In this attack, except for the 9th and 10th companies, all companies will participate. The 1st and 2nd companies will follow me to land in the first batch, the 3rd, 4th and 5th companies will land in the second batch, and the 6th, 7th and 8th companies will maneuver. On standby, the second company will serve as the main attack company of the spiral staircase, where it will contain the enemy's defense forces. The first company will use the fast channel to enter the interior of the Red Temple. The third, fourth and fifth companies will follow up. If everything goes well, the sixth, seventh and eighth companies will directly Landing behind the Mechanical Temple, one is to block the enemy's retreat route, and the other is to intercept possible enemy reinforcements. At the same time, the Skitarii will launch an attack on the 29th small arms manufacturing plant and the 11th engine assembly workshop to contain the enemy's forces. The Red Saint The main attack on the front of the temple is carried out by the auxiliary troops of the battle group. They will capture the Red Temple when there are 2 Terras. Once a breakthrough is made, they will immediately rush into the depth of the enemy's occupied area and completely tear them apart! "
said! After the entire body was deployed, Soshyan looked at Prezemyslo.
"Director Przemyslo, do you have anything to add?"
"I don't, everything is arranged by you, but there is no disrespect, but there is Is it dangerous for 800 Astartes to enter among nearly 100,000 stubborn enemies?”
The foundry director's words caused a burst of laughter from the company commanders. Without Soshiyan opening his mouth, the third company commander Balez said boldly:
"As long as we still have the chain sword in our hands, we still have the chain sword in the gun." There are bullets, and any heart is still beating. Even if there are millions of enemies, they are no more than chickens and dogs!"
Seeing the Astartes being so confident, the Mechanical Sage said nothing more. :
"If possible, try to retain key facilities, because they are very difficult to repair or rebuild."
Soshiyang readily agreed to the other party.
"Of course, don't worry, we have to protect both the empire's territory and the empire's property. However, considering that we will launch a war against the Necrons in the future, Director, you need to supervise the foundry. More production can pose a threat to heavy targets. Heavy servitors or weapons, they are different from gene stealers."
"Understood, I will do it."
Soshiyang then looked at the company commanders.
"Everyone immediately returns to their respective companies, and one standard Terra time will start taking action!"
"Yes!"
As the detailed combat plan was passed to each company, the soldiers immediately took action, went to the armory to get all kinds of equipment needed for combat, and quickly went to the hangar to assemble. Before the Stormbirds and Thunderhawks went to the ground, The Storm Claw formation has already arrived at the Mechanicum airport on the ground and is on standby.
While the Space Marines were preparing for war, the Galaxy-class transport ships also "vomited" transport boats one after another, carrying anxious soldiers who were going to the real battlefield for the first time to the smoky mechanical city. But at this time, Soshyan found someone alone.
“The Necrontyr appeared here.”
In a secret room inside the White Templar’s battle barge Heart of Light, Soshyan stood in a man-sized In front of the screen, watching the busy scene in the hangar, behind him was Occam's figure half-buried in the shadows.
"Maybe it's a trap."
"Are you worried about what happened to the World Engine again?"
"I just suspected that things wouldn't be such a coincidence. I found out there was one here as soon as I came here The Tomb of the Necrontarian. "
"So many years of experience have taught me that there are many coincidences in this world, but there is often an invisible thread connected among the many coincidences, but few people can grasp this thread. Line."
"I remember you said that you had dealt with the Necrontyr."
"So be it."
"Is this a signal from the Silent King to declare war on me, or some kind of warning?"
"I have not dealt with it, but those soulless machines They are not as mysterious as the Eldar, they do things quite directly."
"What if I want to warn it?"
"This will be regarded as a provocation."
"I want to bring it from behind the scenes to the front."
"Can you afford such a risk?"
"I believe that the pseudo-Makado people have no common interests with it. If it shows up, their reaction will be stronger than mine."
"Mixing the water is a technical job, and you will be the first to drown if you are not careful."
"But at least it's a proactive act."
"I agree with this."
Soshiyan turned around and looked into Occam's eyes.
"Then this time you will act with me."
