Chapter 3192 Steel Teeth and Fangs (Part 1)
When the battle on the satellite had basically failed for the green skins, these cunning green creatures immediately displayed their usual tradition - collapse Withdraw the sale!
But since all the ships were gone, there was only one place left for them to escape, which was the Forge World homeland guarded by satellites.
So a large number of rough and even primitive aircraft and airdrop pods flew directly from the battlefield of the two satellites to the ground of the forging world. Even Soshyan was amazed that those greenskins were able to create them in such a short time. There are so many escape devices, some of which are even directly transformed from huge storage tanks, and a propeller is added to form an escape capsule.
Of course, a considerable number of green-skinned things were incinerated when they entered the atmosphere. After all, temporarily modified things are always unstable, but many of them successfully fell to the ground. This is the case with green-skinned things, and they will never be able to survive. Common sense.
After this group of greenskins escaped to the ground, they quickly joined the greenskins who had landed. Facing the powerful offensive of the Eleventh Army and the Ulan Huda coalition, they chose to turn in after realizing that it was difficult to resist.
This also reflects another very troublesome aspect of the green skins. It is easy to fight them, but if they are determined to run away, it is also very difficult to stay. There are few people in the galaxy who are better at it than them. Escaped - when an greenskin starts to escape, his remaining wisdom will be fully exerted. Therefore, for ten thousand years, the empire has defeated and defeated the greenskins. It is easy, but it is very, very difficult to annihilate. Until now , Armageddon still has a group of greenskins left over from the last invasion.
If these green skins are allowed to take root in the forge world, subsequent processing will be very difficult. In addition, the environment of this forge world is extremely complex, with both huge mining areas and huge ancient ruins left over from past wars. The green skin burrowed into the ruins, and found the Monkey Year, Horse and Moon.
So the current combat mission immediately became to encircle and annihilate the fleeing greenskins as quickly as possible, and this was definitely not enough to rely on the Space Marines, because this mission required a huge force, especially armor. Troops, after all, cannot catch up with the green-skinned vehicles with their legs.
Fortunately, Soshyan probably guessed a similar situation. Not only did he mobilize the Astartes, but also the auxiliary forces from the Nessen system, especially the 20 tank divisions. These are all experiences A veteran of the Tyrannic War, and fully equipped with the 520 Engineering Tank, or the Dread Lion Tank - Since Soshyan himself really couldn't understand the name Soshyan Tank, he used the name of the Neisen IV thousands of years ago. A large predator that once existed in ancient times is used as a "code name".
With the help of the Randall's powerful communications and scanning arrays, Soshyan quickly established contact with the Forge World's command and the troops deployed on the ground, and established a command network covering the Skitarii and Astartes to A combat plan was deployed at an extremely fast speed. Aiming at the direction in which the green skins were escaping, Space Marines would be the main force to intercept them. The auxiliary armored forces formed a pincer-like encirclement from two directions. The skitarii would follow closely behind the green skins and intercept them. The space for them to escape gradually shrinks.
For the final battlefield, Soshyan chose a wasteland basin, which was once a sewage lake. It was bombed during the civil war, evaporating the entire lakeside, leaving only a barren wasteland. , and the hills of waste that dot it, are an unobstructed place of strangulation.
The plan was completed, and the action began immediately——
"Captain Ruspel, the whole company is ready."
In the dim cabin, a man The soldier who looked quite young and had some stubble on his chin was looking at the screen, which marked the status of ten Terror Lions, all in a healthy green color.
"Received, waiting for instructions from the regiment." While waiting, he raised the servo skull observer installed on the rear of the turret. This thing is called a servo skull just out of habit. In fact, it is not a skull shape, but a rotary wing. It is a small reconnaissance device with a miniature anti-gravity device. In fact, they are more accustomed to calling it a dragonfly, an ancient Terran beast.
As the dragonfly rose to an altitude of more than 100 meters, the scene on the battlefield appeared on the screen on his left. In the gray gravel wasteland, 100 silver-gray Fear Lion tanks , a hunting group composed of 45 Chimera armored vehicles of various types, 25 Bison and Taurus, 9 basilisk self-propelled guns with closed turrets, 9 Wyvern self-propelled mortars, and 9 Hydra anti-aircraft guns. Quietly lurking in the occasional wind and sand.
This is the full strength of the 2nd Regiment of the 17th Armored Division of the Pashtiban.
As the most elite unit of the legion auxiliary force, the Pashtiban tank division consists of three tank regiments, a mechanized infantry regiment, a command company, an artillery regiment, an air defense regiment, and an armored destroyer battalion. A siege battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a Valkyrie battalion, a communications battalion, an engineer battalion, a transport battalion, a maintenance battalion and various military units.
Three of the tank regiments are the main combat forces of the tank division. Each regiment is equipped with 100 Fear Lion tanks and 45 armored vehicles. It also has a mechanized infantry battalion, an air defense company, a self-propelled artillery battalion and maintenance support units. The total strength reaches 2000.
But the most elite one is the Armored Destroyer Battalion, which contains 27 super-heavy tanks, such as Storm Blade, Poison Sword, Poison Hammer, etc., and 9 tank destroyers, such as Waldo.
Mueller Ruspel is the commander of the 3rd company of the 2nd regiment. He has just turned 30 years old this year.
Being the commander of a tank company at such a young age is unbelievable to many people, but those who know him know that his future is not limited to this.
His father, Hessen Ruspel, was the commander of the 9th Armored Division, and his grandfather, Kent Ruspel, was the one who could have his name engraved on the regiment's merit monument. , one of the earliest tank commanders of the Astral Knights, even received the title of Senior Servant of the Chapter and the Order of the Honorable Servant before his death.
It can be said that their family has three generations of tank soldiers. His grandfather has three sons. Except for one who died in the Maelstrom, the other two hold important positions in the military. Muller also has brothers and sisters. He is the second to last in the family. , I married a lady from the Holy Flame Order a few years ago. She was also from an upper-class family in Nathan No. 4 and served as a medical nun in the Holy Flame Order. In addition to love, this marriage also had a family and various interests. considerations, but Mueller thinks it's okay. His wife has given him a son and a daughter, and he can focus more on his duties.
In the future, his goal is to be a division commander or even a group army commander.
Then the camera zoomed out, and through the sound sensor, one could even hear the sound of thunder echoing in the wilderness full of toxic gases. It was the roaring Valkyries and various types of fighter planes that were screaming in front of them. The green wave bombarded him wildly, and even though the distance was so far away, the impact of the explosion still made Mueller feel the cushion under his butt vibrate.
