Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 440 Black and Red, Planning the Battle of Otto in the Shadows

Here in Moro World, Calvin is still stepping up his schedule.On the battlefield between the Otto and Padilla galaxies, the Space Wolves and the Blood Ravens have entered the most difficult stage of the war.

After the last court meeting ended, the commanders of the two battlefields returned to the front line again from the base camp in the rear. Under the pressure, the rebels under the Word Bearers changed from the previous meekness, and began to turn the battle into a more intense and bloody battle. The direction leads away.

At this time, the Imperial Fleet has been suppressed by the superior force of the Chaos Fleet, gradually withdrawing from the central space of the galaxy.

Being able to protect themselves and contain the main force of the Word Bearers fleet is the limit of what they can do.As for the attack launched by the escort fleet to the ground battlefield, there is really nothing to help.

As a result, air defense warnings and anti-orbital airborne battles became the main theme of the Wolf and Demon Hunter positions, especially the two battle groups focused on defending the capital of the galaxy. Orbital bombing is inevitable.

Six days after the start of the war, it was also the first day that the Word Bearers really began to appear.

The anti-air scanning arrays in the Fermara Mountains went mad and screamed as usual from two o'clock in the morning until the end of the day.

However, the soldiers at the air defense command post did not turn off these alarms as usual, because the space above the track on the holographic projector was already filled with dense figures of the Word Bearers fleet.

From the equator line of the best bombing angle to the climate dividing line, every dimension that can pose a bombing threat has an enemy fleet.

Meteors fell from orbit from time to time, and then disintegrated and burned under the friction of the atmosphere. It was the only military station left by the Empire in the space defense system, and now these last fires were also turned into fly ash under the attack of the enemy.

The anti-ship weapon base station has entered a dormant and concealed state, and the air defense array will only be activated to a limited extent when key nodes are hit.

Facing the enemy's absolute air superiority, the two commanders chose the same strategy.

They all know that in the days when there is no fleet support, the remaining air defense force is equal to the opportunity to support the front at critical moments.

The traffic flow leading to the Fermara Mountains in the rear is almost at a standstill, and only a few tracks with a depth of [-] meters are still running. Salvis knows:
From now on, all they can rely on is themselves.

The command posts in each theater on the communication channel gradually entered the pre-war silence, but because of the pervasive signal interference above the orbit, the noise and meaningless waste codes became more and more noisy.

The soldiers on the front line were ordered to leave the front line in the trench and stay on standby in the fortifications against heavy artillery strikes.The only remaining sentinel stood at the gate of the fortification, looking nervously at the sky.

bang...

The first thunder came from a distance, followed by more thunder, countless light spots in the sky were burning and falling, and dense explosions on the ground brought up towering smoke and dust.

The dome of the heavy fortification was trembling violently, and the sound of the explosion ruptured the eardrums of the soldiers in the shallow fortification. In the background of debris and dust, the soldiers looked at each other's open tongues, but could not hear any sound...

The doomsday is nothing more than this scene, but this is only the beginning of the offensive.

Meteors rained down on the atmosphere, and Deathclaws (Chaos drop pod models) descended from the sky carrying weapon platforms and fallen angels.

The air defense array on the ground received the order, stretched out from the bunker, and frantically fired intercepting barrages into the air. After the fleet auspicious instrument received the signal from the ground, the precise fixed-point strike followed.

Every second, huge casualties occurred simultaneously in both camps, and every second, more powerful counterattacks poured on each other from the ground and the sky.

The signals of the anti-aircraft weapon station and the anti-ship weapon base station were all extinguished in the eyes of the ground command, but the commanders could only hold the weapons in their hands tightly, ignoring their sacrifices.

In just one hour, the enemy has attacked hundreds of times, and among them, there are hundreds of times that are defined as requiring the direct intervention of the headquarters.

And this is just the beginning, because the auspicious instruments of the ground command are sending out piercing alarms, and farther away from the empire's defense lines, there are patches of dark cloud-like Titan Arks descending, and when these wars that once served the empire The appearance of giant beasts on the battlefield is the real beginning of destruction and death.

Legion Wars.

This ancient vocabulary appeared in the mind of the commander of the empire, and the irony is that this supreme sharp blade that once belonged to the empire and was then abandoned is now in the hands of the enemy.

As the empire, at this time, it can only use the weak and backward organization method of the war group. After the legion model was invented thousands of years ago, it can barely resist the all-pervasive attack from the enemy.

This is the case with the Chapter Alliance in Savillian's hands. Compared with the comprehensive and vertical command system of the Word Bearers, the command system between several chapters is already bloated enough, let alone the alliance with the Star Militia and the Home Defense Force. communication efficiency.

The situation of the wild wolves is slightly better, but after losing the protection of the fleet, the obvious numerical disadvantage is also particularly obvious under the collapse of the home defense force.

Yes, the essence of war is an all-out confrontation between two systems.And the result of all-out confrontation is that under the transmission of layers of pressure, the most vulnerable part has to bear the greatest pressure.

The defense force was the weakest in this battle, and of course it became the first part that couldn't bear the pressure and collapsed first.

For these troops established for security posts, the offensive of the Astartes Legion clearly exceeded the limit of their imagination, and the positions they garrisoned often lost sight of one another after two or three feints.

And after the firepower structure is involved in chaos, the company-level Corrupted Astartes will use the unit firepower density that makes them desperate, piercing the former's weak and slack defense line like a red-hot cone.

Yes, unit firepower density, this is the difference between Astartes warriors and mortal troops, and it is also the reason why Legionnaires stood at the pinnacle of imperial force during the Great Crusade.

Power armor brings them thicker armor, and large-caliber, heavy individual weapons bring more powerful firepower;

Specialized biological transformations allow them to have sharper reaction speeds, servo scanning arrays and visually enhanced nerves to bring more precise marksmanship;

The life span of hundreds of years allows them to have more tacit tactical cooperation, weakened pain perception and strengthened thinking endows them with a more determined offensive will;

All-round, real-time individual-level communication brings them a stronger sense of the battlefield, and the century-old battlefield memory absorbed from the gene seeds gives them richer war experience from the very beginning...

Any one of these advantages is enough to make the Astartes play a dimensionality reduction strike effect when facing any mortal army;

And when these conditions are aggregated into one unit and appear on the battlefield according to their respective division of labor into an organizational system, that is the beginning of the enemy's nightmare.

There is no room for reaction. As long as the mortal army fails to complete the integration of firepower at the first encounter with them, it will only have the fate of being directly disintegrated and divided by the attack of mercury pouring down.

Even if individual legions have relatively strict discipline and can complete the integration of firepower in the first place, the Word Bearers who have complete air supremacy will increase their weight on the already precarious front, using groups of fighters to approach and bomb for themselves The raids blazed a bloody path.

Fortunately, this was already expected by the imperial commanders. Neither Ragnar nor Salves deployed these troops in key positions.

The various nodes of the defense line are always in charge of their direct troops, and because of this, after several hours of the war's climax, the core troops of both sides finally started a close-range decisive battle.
