Vol 2 Chapter 2095: Battlegroup Gathered

Chapter 2095 Gathering of Battle Groups

After sending Veronica away, Soshyan returned to his post and devoted himself to the preparations for the decisive battle.

He responded systematically to Huron's plan.

First of all, it is to increase the defense force on the Moon of Destruction. This place will need to face the mysterious space hulk that Occam said. Since there are not many weapons deployed on the planet, and time does not allow it, so we can only As a temporary airport for fighter jets, the Red Pirates will definitely launch a large-scale team-hopping operation, and due to the large size of the planet, it is impossible to achieve a comprehensive defense. Fortunately, Soshyan has asked the Mechanicus to dig underground on the planet. There are complicated passages, and in order to limit the combat of Chaos Space Marines, all passages are manufactured according to the specifications slightly smaller than adults.

In other words, the defenders there will all be mortals!

Their mission is to hold back the enemy Chaos Space Marines with flesh and blood using a complex network of tunnels.

This is also the result of Suoshyan's consideration for a long time and collective discussion with all the chapter leaders participating in the battle. There is only one main reason—

Few soldiers, or rather few Astartes.

After the arrival of the White Templar, except for the red hunters who continued to perform patrolling missions in the Bloody Skeleton galaxy and the Vulture galaxy, all the battle groups participating in the Maelstrom Expedition arrived in the Kara galaxy, except for the star knight himself, including penance Raiders, Ranger Warriors, Nova Warriors, Fists of the Empire, Sons of Dorne, Iron Knights, Black Templars, Crimson Fists, Sky Lions, White Scars, Marauders, Destroyers, Berserkers, Mantis Warriors, Stormlords, Lamenters Weepers, Flesh Tearers, Crimson Blades, Blood Swords, Star Dragons, Salamanders, Dark Angels, Devotees, Disciples of Caliban, Star Phantoms, and Minotaur warbands, a total of 27 warbands!

In the history of the empire, since the Apostasy Rebellion, only the Abyss Expedition of the Cursed Army had more than 20 war regiments participating. This time, the gathering of 27 war regiments at the same time can be said to be the largest one in the empire's nearly 5,000 years. State party.

Although most of the chapters were part of the company, and a considerable part of the chapters suffered heavy losses in previous battles, even so, the number of space fighters gathered in and around the Kara galaxy still reached 6112!

Six thousand Astartes, in any previous battle, was enough to sweep away the opponent, very little power could block this blow.

But what they have to face is also the second largest chaos group after the Black Legion, and there is also a chaos giant who is almost driven to a desperate situation, and the strength of the opponent's desperate struggle must not be underestimated.

Therefore, the power in their hands, especially the power of the Astartes, is extremely valuable, and it is obviously not worthwhile to invest in the tug-of-war of the Moon of Destruction. Almost all chapter leaders agree to let mortals cooperate with the Skitarii to defend the Moon of Destruction scheme.

To this end, Suoshyan also deliberately selected troops from the many participating troops of the Astral Army that have performed well since the expedition, including legions from Cadian and Mordian, as well as Krieger, Kadian Tachan, Talan and a series of legions from well-known fortress worlds, all of them have created brilliant records, or persisted until the last moment in the hellish battlefield.

Of course, in addition to these well-known legions, Soshyan also transferred some local recruited legions, and they all performed very well, and even created from the specifications of cannon fodder regiments, but achieved a record that many elite regiments failed to achieve. infantry regiment.

All the troops add up to 3.5 million, and they are coordinated with more than one million skitaris, armed servants and combat robots, and what they have to face, according to estimates, may be 3000-5000 chaos interstellar Warriors and millions of servants of Chaos who follow them, twisted daemonic engines.

The pressure on the defenders may be great, but because of time constraints, the Mechanicus has no way to continue digging more underground space to accommodate more troops, so these troops can only grit their teeth, carry forward their style, and dare to fight tough battles.

To this end, Soshyan also specially convened the regiment-level commanders of these troops and held a mobilization meeting.

On the one hand, he explained the arduousness and difficulty of this battle to these officers, but all of them were high-spirited, saying that they would fight the enemy to the end and would never take a step back.

On the other hand, he also announced that all the troops participating in the defense can get luxurious ordnance supplements. In short, except for large armor and heavy artillery, they can directly apply for any equipment they want, regardless of the category. Whether it is plasma, heat fusion, armor-piercing rockets, or even automatic turrets, as long as they apply, the logistics will send them over immediately, of course, the number is limited.

Afterwards, he also received a group of outstanding young commanders, including the son of the old Morales, Arni Morales. Originally, his troops were supposed to carry out suppression and security operations in the Bloody Skeleton galaxy, but However, he completed the combat mission ahead of schedule and was later transferred here.

To be honest, his cannon fodder group is a bit eye-catching among this bunch of elite troops, but because of this, Suoshyan can't help but have some interest in this army.

When seeing Arni, Soshyan also thought of another thing. He has been thinking about the personnel appointment and land arrangement in the recovery area for some time. In his plan, many planets and vacant land are used as post-war mainland The resettlement places for recruited soldiers~www.readwn.com~of course refer to those soldiers who are unwilling to return to their hometowns, as well as the new colonies of civilians who lost their homes or were destitute due to the war. In order to ensure that this plan can be implemented in the future, Soshyan must personally arrange managers, which inevitably involves the issue of personnel appointments.

It stands to reason that he should not be the expedition commander to intervene in the appointment and removal of the planetary governor, but the huge laws and rules of the empire are like a sieve, full of loopholes and loopholes.

As the head of the war zone, Soshyan happens to have the power to temporarily appoint planet managers, and the source of this power can be traced back to the Macharius Expedition, an authorization agreement between the Sun Lord and the High Lord Council, although in principle The authorization agreement is only for the Sun Lord, but what the empire pays attention to is that as long as there are precedents to follow, the latter can also follow. After all, in the huge and bloated bureaucratic structure of the empire, the power of convention and tradition can override most of the time. above express terms.

But how to appoint and who to appoint is another problem. Those unimportant or destroyed worlds are fine, but some key worlds are more involved. It’s not that he can sit down whoever he wants. After all, if he has no background, he will inevitably be overthrown by other people with various means after he leaves.

Among them, the most critical and most conspicuous position is naturally the governor of the Badab galaxy.
