For the 356th Kadian Regiment, their mission is quite heavy. If Aining has fallen, then they must limit the enemy to the city as much as possible. If Aining is still supporting it after a period of time, reinforcements from other parts of the planet will come one after another.
Everyone has a consensus that although the Red Pirates are coming in full force, the three million star world troops are not easy to chew. After all, there are one million brave and fearless Kadians among them.
Now they must drag, guard every stronghold, and wait for reinforcements from outside the planet to arrive.
Garland Salomon has made up his mind that the 356th Regiment will fight to the last drop of blood.
The blazing bombs kept passing through the air above their heads, and the bullets hit the surrounding ground. Political Commissar Gligre shouted hoarsely while trying to keep his head low, trying to encourage the Cadias to shoot at the enemy at their posts and at the same time try to keep themselves alive, but his boots occasionally sink into the mud, affecting his movements.
The enemy had launched several attacks on the fortress. The heretic scum who tried to imitate the Star Army was hit head-on outside the fortress. The heavy bomb continued to chew on the dirty ground and wiped out many tyrant soldiers who were trying to cross the field. The fortress was a standard Cadian stronghold, with all firepower properly protected and a large number of hidden shooting ports. The enemy would be shot from the side no matter what direction it moved.
The mud was already covered with red corpses, and the wail of the wounded could be heard vaguely by the sound of gunfire.
The fortress is a tenacious beast made of concrete and metal blocks. It has rough edges on the top of the square and is lit by the light of weapons dotted on various large-caliber weapons and weapons embellished on battlements.
Political Commissar Gligre came all the way to an inconspicuous command tower high in the fortress, and there he saw Garland Salomon, the leader of the 356th Regiment who was adjusting the firepower through radio.
"The enemy's offensive is very fierce, and the shelling has not been interrupted. I am worried that the city has fallen, but I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive recently."
After seeing the political commissar, Garland Salomon, who was as strong as a wild beast, expressed his concerns.
"The casualty rate is now 20%, and worse, I'm worried...the reserved ammunition doesn't support us fighting until tomorrow or long."
Suddenly, more realistic concerns replace despair for the future, as a wave of energy hits the fortress.
The two walked out of the bunker and looked up, and saw several red-painted thunder eagles passing by in the sky. They had already removed the power armored giants from the cabin in the distance and were now suppressing the fortress in the air.
The gunboat released the heavy bombardment rain and missiles from the heavy bomb gun onto the head of the Kadian defenders, and the explosive bullets cut the light green carapace of the guards as if it were paper.
The Cadians immediately tried to hide under the cover and counterattack with their weapons, but the laser gun had little effect on the flying beasts, but when the hidden Hydra anti-aircraft gun suddenly fired, the situation was different.
A thunder eagle was caught in a violent metal storm, and then began to shake violently. One side of the wing was cut off, and then an engine exploded directly, then fell to the ground and turned into a huge fireball. The other thunder eagles immediately fled to the sky like frightened birds, which made the Cadians burst into a warm cheer.
However, their voices soon fell silent, because in the smoke of gunpowder in the distance, under the arch of those towering giants, some giants slowly drove out.
They look very similar to the predator tanks used by the Empire Space Marines, but they are completely different. With countless years in subspace, they are only a little similar to their former glory. However, the armor has been tainted by countless terrible atrocities and become a container of terrible monsters born from pain and torture in the Ether, but their weapons are more deadly than the armor of the same type of Empire - these weapons were once very common in the Imperial army, but were forgotten by the mechanical priests for various reasons, but still exist in the information of the heretic Dark Sage.
There are 5 such terrifying war machines, and there are also a large number of walking tanks around them.
The so-called walking tank is a light armored unit used by the Blood Deed Army in the Sabat expedition. They look like lightweight versions of the Demon Engine of the Blasphemer, with three pairs of piston mechanical legs similar to spider legs. The small turret is equipped with a double laser cannon or heavy bomb. There is only one driver in the entire walking tank, and this unlucky guy is usually directly fixed in the cockpit by various wires.
Although this armor is very inferior and not strong, it is still an armor, light and fast, and can enter a narrow battlefield like an infantry. However, conventional anti-infantry firepower cannot penetrate segmented armor. To eliminate such a tank, at least one shoulder-mounted anti-tank missile is required, perfectly supplementing the missing link between infantry and heavy tanks, similar to the sentinel mecha of the Star Army.
"kill!"
Accompanied by the roar of Chaos Space Marine, a large number of tyrant soldiers held rifles and shouted profanity slogans, forming a formation under the cover of armor to launch the deadliest charge towards the fortress, with great slogans of strength.
"Cadians! Cadians! If this place is destined to be our grave, then let more heretics and mafia be buried with us as much as possible!"
Garland Salomon's voice was transmitted to all parts of the fortress through the speaker, and he himself had already visited the front line of defense.
In a short time, dozens of tons of shells hit Kadian's fortress from afar.
Almost immediately, the Kadian counterattack firepower was released, including the previously hidden assault gun bunker.
The hidden weapons of war were activated, and physical bullets began to fire at the heretic army. The bullets bounced over the armor of the Predator tanks, barely scratched the paint on them, but the tyrant soldiers fell in pieces like harvested wheat, and even those walking tanks were hit and sparked and then collapsed to the ground.
Realizing the threatening firepower in the fortress, a predator stopped the tracks and the oversized energy coil of the huge weapon on the turret hissed.
As the coil began to glow with supernova intensity, the predator's turret quickly rotated and pointed to an assault gun bunker.
This Chaos Predator is called the executioner type, and the turret is equipped with a frightening plasma destroyer that can turn the heaviest tank or bunker into a pool of slag.
Suddenly, a dazzling light ejected from the nozzle in front of the plasma destroyer, and the hot ball of gas passed through the battlefield in hissing, hitting the center of the bunker dome.
