Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #108 - Chapter 103 Smoke Screen, Death, and the Behemoth Scrooge

The sky is filled with debris and light spears, the loyal weapons of the empire are inspiring, the green-skinned tattered airdrop books are like fireworks. In the Didong command room, the selected sacred warehouse is filled with communication equipment and weapons of the Astra Militarum. Lieutenant Colonel Alan Beyer asked the local PDF commander. “What’s the hit rate? How many orks are expected to land?”

PDF Commander, also the person in charge of the Planetary Guard, looked like a new recruit when facing the Astra Militarum officers. Even though he was much older than Alan Bair and had a thick beard, he still wanted to raise his arms. The mechanical right leg saluted in reply.

“About 30 percent…”

Alan Beyer slammed the table and cursed. “What a shame! 30? Does that mean that nearly 25,000 greenskins will land in the empire’s territory?”

“If I slack off in anti-aircraft training, am I not a traitor to the empire?”

The commander swallowed. “Sir, 20% of the close ground defense of the nest is among the major nobles and several major chambers of commerce. They have no right…”

Alan Bair sighed. “A bunch of moths are useless except for eating rice. If the God-Emperor is around, none of them will survive.”

“How’s the evacuation going on the ground?”

PDF Commander Answers. “Sir, almost all the civilians have left, and the soldiers have also settled in the main city points, such as churches, factories, and star ports.”

“But the Orcs’ landing bay seems to be equipped with a jet. They may change their mind and land elsewhere…”

Alan Bair looked at the icons of the landing warehouse, the fan-shaped snake that symbolized it, which was the emblem of the Snakebite clan. Their barbarians would never endure the desire to massacre the entire hive, so he bet that Things would definitely go as he expected.

“Continue to station the soldiers. They should not change areas and be prepared for urban battles. Death and sacrifice are inevitable…”

Commander PDF nodded. Since he was not under the command of the Imperial Guard, there would be no problem. Alan Bair’s wrong judgment of the greenskins was always accurate and fatal. The once powerful greenskin warlord was still dead. , Therefore, those guys will definitely lose in the local nest capital battle.

But no matter how hard you calculate, those green-skinned ones with blood axes mixed in, those green-skinned special forces soldiers, and the chirping boys with stupid heads, obviously have good military qualities.

Captain Bloodaxe quickly realized that even if there was an ambush, he would not hit it directly. When he found out about it, he took those broken copper-like communicators that looked like the children of Gu Terra. The microphone you play with is the kind of thing that comes from a paper cup with a string.

But that thing was not connected to another cup, but to the entire command system of the orc army, and the radio broadcast was blasted among the boys. “Boys, humans have prepared a banquet for us, but no, I don’t want to participate.”

“Turn on the jets, turn the right rudder, and go to the hive capital of this world!”

Soon there was a questioning sound on the communicator. “But, boss, don’t we want to control the star port?”

“Very much, I really want to… smash it!” Han Xuan almost cried. This was not the desire of all the boys. He wanted to smash, kill, and rob!

Blood Ax cursed. “According to circumstances! How many times has he taught me that vocabulary? You stupid ass!”

But the only answer he received was the sizzling sound coming from the communicator and the sudden explosion of the airdrop warehouse on the right. When the fragments landed in the human hive, smashed open the wall of the outer hive, and fell into the streets of the hive, blood flowed. Ax East made up his mind.

“hurry up!”

Under the attention of the PDF and the Imperial Guard, those garbage airdrop pods made with drills to see if they could break through the hive city quickly deflected. The squeaking and shaking metal on the surface made people wonder if it would suddenly break. Lose.

Outside the hive, the infantry of Skadi’s Fourth Regiment had already prepared a defense. They used the complex terrain of the hive and a large amount of industrial waste and scrap iron to create tactics that hindered snake bites. The pillars that tied bombs to the squig and then drove them towards the enemy were erected in a mess, several meters above the ground, ensuring that those things would jump away.

If they chose to go through, they would have to slow down so that the Astra Militarum could easily kill those things.

At this moment, most of the infantry of the Skadi Fourth Regiment are also stationed in the streets and alleys of the city in company-sized units. The lasers of heavy explosive bombs are ready to go out. The Catachan troops are even holding hot melt on their legs in the complex hive pipes. Wait for a sufficiently threatening enemy.

It is no exaggeration to say that if there is a real fight, the orc landing force will be completely suppressed.

But the sudden turn of the airdrop pod made it strange. Wouldn’t using a jet that reduces the landing speed at that position become a target?

Alan Bair shouted instantly. “Oops, staff, adjust the radio and report to Ryan at school. About 20,000 orcs are landing at him.”

The staff officer hurriedly turned on the communicator, and he gave instructions to the soldiers of Skadi’s 4th Regiment. “The tactics have changed, hurry up, hurry up and get closer to the Eastern Second Nest, the 143rd Regiment of the Partoria Guards is about to be attacked by orcs!”

The reality is not like this. Neither of them made a mistake in their calculations, but neither of them was wrong. The battlefield was changing rapidly, but the actions of the Partoria Guard and the Skadi Guard completed an unexpected combination.

If the greenskins land directly in the secondary hive, they will have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the hive. The large amount of materials inside will become supplies for the greenskins, and they can even create a tribe of greenskins there.

If the Skadi Fourth Regiment were not stationed in the main nest, the Blood Axes would not leave in fear. They would directly smash into the city and control the star port.

In any case, the tactical objectives were achieved, but the only problem was that without the help of the 4th Skadi Regiment, the 143rd Partorian Guards had to face an enemy they had never experienced before.

The smell of promethium from the orc engines was strong. Ryan covered his nose at school and watched those things approaching. They relied on the close-range defense cannons they carried to stop the greenskins on the first floor of the hive.

He looked very good at school, because he found that the number of greenskins was much less than expected, and his military strength could definitely take over. The individual tribes of greenskins he encountered were not large in size, but apart from their individual strength, they could Remarkable, other problems are not too big.

The Imperial Guard has never been proud of their personal strength. Countless trenches and death awaited those greenskins. Timber guns and explosive bombs were already waiting for them.

The firepower of the close-in defense artillery was not strong. It only destroyed dozens of green leather warehouses and caused those things to hit the surface of the hive city like roots. The buzzing sound of the drill was irritating. In just a few seconds, those things disappeared outside the hive city. , crashing eastward from the nest layer hundreds of meters away.

“The 143rd Partorian Guard Regiment, aliens entered the outside of the hive. Use trenches to delay. The staff of each company maintain morale. The non-commissioned officers pay attention to the greenskin assault.” Ryan ordered his soldiers as always, but the seemingly simple order was actually It means that he mistrusted his soldiers.

With iron-like discipline, sandbag trenches stretching across the entire sub-hive were erected in the intricate streets of the hive city. To ensure that the trench warfare could proceed, he had already sent people to blast tens of thousands of houses, leaving them in ruins. Like rubble.

That is not the courage of the Imperial Guard, nor is it the madness of mankind to survive. When Captain Bloodaxe landed on the ground for the first time, he felt the weight of the planet intimately, but found that the bunkers there had been smashed, and the richness The black smoke continues, and several rows of trenches have blocked its path.

“Madman, even if Xiami is mad, I will not ruin my tribe like that.”

Yes, that choice brought a huge burden to the hive city. There is no doubt that the loss of the building is greater than the loss of the Imperial Guard. Just hope that the explosion does not damage the hive city itself. After all, the hive city Whether it was the “treasures” that were gradually expanded from the Dark Ages of the Empire or the beginning of the Great Crusade.

That seemingly crazy place is not the crystallization of the empire’s civilization. Except for a few special worlds, no place can represent the essence of the empire more than the hive.

The Blood Ax will not just surrender. “Use the knife bullet from behind!”

He ordered that the landing pod that was landing in Donglai sprayed out a thick mist, almost filling the entire empty nest. The red things blocked the entire field of vision, and the light should not move too far forward, as if there was no light.

Formerly a doctor at school, the veteran Lucas looked solemn. “Use the augury!”

The investigation team activated the antenna-like instrument, which emitted invisible radio waves. They looked at the instrument vigilantly and then answered. “Sir, the smoke hinders the detection. The entire detection range is red!”

Lucas cursed before at school. “Damn heretics, heavy firepower group, cross fire, no matter what, ensure the safety of the line infantry first.”

Several heavy blasters roared with deafening roars of the Emperor. Flames and secondary explosions of Imperial ammunition embedded themselves in the mist, and the sounds of flesh and blood exploding responded to them.

But suddenly several short red lights came out of the fog, and the former schoolmate Lucas shouted. “Squiggly!”

That small green-skinned creature jumped forward, with a damn alien weapon flashing danger signals on its back. A violent explosion was about to appear, and covered by smoke, the distance between the soldiers and those little things was very close.

Although laser guns hardly need to think about the ballistics or shooting conditions of live ammunition weapons and can hit wherever you point, it is still not easy to hit in extremely close situations.

Dozens of meters, tens of meters of naked eye distance are the life and death line for the Imperial Guard. Shoot, hit, or die if you fail. In the cruel war, in the long trench, explosions burst out, leaving dark holes in the east…

Human flesh and blood is completely unable to block that powerful shock wave. Such explosive weapons can destroy the laser guns and bulletproof armor of the Imperial Guard, but the shock wave in the air can destroy their bodies. While the armor is intact, an Imperial The members of the guard instantly became torn apart, and their flesh and blood stained Lucas’ face.

“Damn alien!”

He raised his bolter, just as he had done countless times before, and fired, accurately targeting the beasts in front of him that were trying to get closer to him. Those things exploded, leaving holes in the ground.

Potholes appeared on the metal ground outside the hive city. The bloody meat grinding war had just begun. With the unique sound of green skin, a cry called waaaagh appeared. Lucas looked at the dead Imperial Guard members on the ground. The iron-blooded Han Xuan. “Keep shooting!”

Explosive tactics caused the 143rd Partorian Guard Regiment to lose a full two-tenths of its soldiers. Although they were not an infantry regiment, they were not the real elite of that world. A powerful force forged in iron and blood, they lost front row soldiers. Situation Dong calmly got into a meat-and-blood fight with the greenskins.

Bayonets and machetes touched, those ugly green-skinned creatures collided with the loyal legions of the Empire, hot guns and cold knives, because the smoke caused the Imperial Guard to completely lose the extremely strong tactical depth they were proud of, would they delay the greenskins, Pa Soldiers from the 143rd Artorian Guard Regiment choose to fight in close combat.

Greenskins are not those weak aliens in the Imperial Guard’s leg book that can be dealt with by a set of CQC (close combat). All the soldiers in that regiment know it very well, but they still generously serve for righteousness. If they can’t guarantee the lethality, the soldiers in the back row Stand forward and focus the fire.

That’s right, the fire was concentrated, the whizzing sound of hundreds and thousands of laser guns brought the flames to scorch the bodies of the loyal soldiers of the empire and the bodies of the greenskins. Driven by the will, there were countless loyal soldiers in the first place. The platoon used their bodies as sandbags to thwart enemy attacks.

The battle was delayed, the greenskins were held back by the war of attrition, and Lane’s behavior at school was deeply interpreted in his troops. Death, sacrifice, human life and the houses that bombed the hive into ruins were all ignored. A necessary chip for victory.

If there are no soldiers to hinder the progress of the green skins, then the battle losses will be even more exaggerated. Even if they need to kill three green skins and lose one member of the Imperial Guard, they will still move forward.

Captain Blood Ax was wearing special goggles in the smoke. He could see the battlefield through the smoke. He had no idea that humans still had good morale after experiencing explosions and dared to fight with green-skinned red blades. He encountered Human beings rarely have such discipline and terrible morale. If he didn’t understand human beings extremely well, he would not believe that such a battle would occur.

His tactics with the Blood Ax are indeed very good. Scrooge’s precise sense of smell guides them to become the vanguard of the greenskins, destroying the enemy’s morale with the help of the mist, and then the machete boy kills the enemy with his tug and slash.

He is in every possible way, and has even won several victories in the wars with his fellow greenskins. The smoke bomb formula he obtained from the special operations boy has even made his proud legs…

Ruming was replaced by human beings who relied entirely on human life…

He was a little angry. The war should not be a war of attrition. His tactical literacy told him that.

“Big plan, big guys, big things, hurry up and trample them to death!”

He looked at the communicator and said strange words, but in the mist there were two huge creatures, covered in thick armor and covered with red fuel. They looked like the battle flag of the Snakebite clan and a huge garbage cannon. Standing upright on its back, the creature yelled with a long animal control clip on its standing green-skinned legs.

“Big beast, move quickly and crush those shrimps to death!”

The huge behemoth Scrooge was much bigger than Lemanus. It made constant vibrations when it stepped on the ground. Its roar penetrated the fog and made the soldiers of the 143rd Partorian Guard Regiment tremble.

At this moment, Ryan was walking from the nest to the east of Chimera, but he saw a terrifying giant beast advancing on the battlefield.

“God Emperor!” Even a noble like him couldn’t help but sigh, that kind of terrifying alien monster.

He turned on the communicator. “The horses are retreating, give up the war of attrition! Don’t ask for the annihilation of the entire army!”

But it was too late. The huge creature could kill a platoon of Imperial Guards with just one charge, and the laser gun had little effect against it…

Ryan said with a rare expression of despair. “O Emperor and all his saints…can someone save this world?”

After the sound fell, while the Imperial Guards were losing money, dozens and hundreds of missiles hit the bodies of those giant beasts, and dozens of magnetic rail bombardments bombarded the armor of those giant beasts. Come on sound.

“Flaxian 113th Regiment, come and report.”

Dozens of slightly strange “Lemanus”, “Gelade”, and “Chimera” came to the vicinity of the battlefield, providing support at the limit of visual distance!

Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bayer walks on the hammer… The hull of the “Lemanus” is on. “Ryan is at school. It seems that their cooperation has just begun.”

“To the Emperor, old man, let’s show those greenskins who is the master of war!”
