"Each combat team, communication inspection."
Silas Ovik, sitting in his narrow command chair, said to the communication rosary, whose voice could barely be transmitted into other Rieman Russ tanks through the on-board communicator.
The colonel of the 1652nd Armored Regiment of Kadian quietly listened to the crackling current in the headphones. The inexplicable interference of sub-space made long-distance communication difficult. Now they are the only force in front of the enemy. If they fail, even if the Red Pirates cannot lose the command of the battle group, they may attack the Kadian troops from the rear that are resisting the frontal attack of the heretics, causing a total of shaken or even collapse.
Therefore, Silas Ovik felt that he was responsible, but their time was too short and they could not make too detailed plans. They could only try to ambush and block the enemy in the ruins of this food processing factory.
Although the 1652nd Armored Regiment of Kadian was relatively late, the outstanding achievements created by the Southern and Northern Wars became the best of all the tank regiments of Kadian. The incomparable cohesion made their teams closely united. Whether they supported infantry operations or confronted the enemy's armored forces, they were always able to execute orders with the highest efficiency.
The 1652nd Armored Regiment of Kadian includes 1 command squadron, 4 combat squadrons, 1 reconnaissance squadron, 1 maintenance squadron, and 1 transport squadron. The command squadron is mainly composed of some regiments, communications squadrons and air defense squadrons. Some regiments include Silas Ovik's car, Riemanlus victor "Ovik's fist", and Riemanlus victor "Kadian's Pride" driven by Lieutenant Colonel Teliska, the second in command of the 1652nd Regiment, and Riemanlus executor "Coward Killer" driven by the regiment political commissar Greg Kaman, and the air defense squadron consists of three Hydra air defense vehicles.
According to conventional arrangement, a combat squadron has 5 combat squadrons, each containing 3 combat tanks.
However, among the four squadrons of the 1652 Armored Regiment of Kadian, there are 1 siege squadron and 1 tank destroyer. They each have only 3 squadrons, so the actual number of tanks in the 4 combat squadrons is 48.
In addition, there are 51 command squadrons, and in addition, 15 Chimera armored vehicles from the reconnaissance squadron, a total of 66 combat armored vehicles.
This number is not small. Silas Ovik once commanded a very small number of armor to fight twice the number of green-skinned tanks and won a great victory, without any loss in the battle.
But this time, he was a little uneasy.
According to limited information, the Red Pirate's armor seems to be all big guys, and the specific model of soldiers who survived from death cannot be said to be, but according to the type of armor of the Space Marine, it is likely to be predators and a small number of Sikarans.
Silas Ovik has never fought with Space Marine vehicles, but these tanks are definitely much stronger in performance than those of Greenskin, and the number of enemy armor is not very clear, from 20-100.
Now the distance between the two sides is very close, and the reconnaissance forces are currently searching manually, so he can only pray that the number is as small as possible.
"The head of Thunder, ready."
The first thunder team of the 1st Squadron was the first unit to feedback. Silas Ovik confirmed in the bird-drawing instrument that they were deploying 600 meters ahead of the regiment command tank, using ruins and terrain to cover the appearance of the tank and observe the situation ahead.
The Thunder Head Team may be the most elite tank squad among the Lord of Steel. For more than three centuries, it has been the key to this legion, leading every attack or serving as a pillar of every defense. The three tanks of this glorious legion have been in service since the founding of the 1652nd Regiment. The scars and honors carved on their bodies can be interpreted as part of the legion's own history.
"The power of indomitable force is ready."
The three tanks of the Indomitable Force Team are all Rieman Russ Destroyers. This model of Rieman Russ is equipped with a short range but powerful Destroyer Cannon. Its fatality makes this type of tank an unquestionable close-range king. Relying on the additional armor installed directly in front of it, the Destroyer can bring deadly short-range firepower to the enemy.
They are currently on standby about 2,000 meters on the east side of the ruins, ready to detour the enemy's armor from the side and launch a deadly attack on the enemy's most difficult target at close range.
"Baojian, ready."
The broadsword team is three Riemanuel Punishers. This tank sacrifices anti-armor ability in exchange for the ability to harvest a large number of enemy infantry. The Punisher Gatling machine cannons installed on the turret can provide unstoppable terrifying firepower to kill its targets in a short period of time. Their function is to intercept enemy followers or light vehicles, so they are deployed in the outer depression on the east side of the battlefield. They will face the enemy infantry queue from the oblique side when the vehicle between the two sides exchanges fire.
"Death Scythe, ready."
The Death Scythe Detachment is a unit of the tank destroyer squadron. They are composed of three Annihilist tank destroyers and are also one of the main core forces of this armored battle.
The heavy laser annihilist equipped by the Annihilist can accurately match enemy tanks at medium and long distances, and even huge super-heavy tanks are in danger of being shot into the soul. The entire 1652 armored regiment is only these three treasures. This kind of destroyer is too rare - the heavy laser annihilist it uses must be handmade, and there are very few castings in the world with this knowledge and spare energy to make them.
The other two tank destroyers are the "Poison Dagger" team composed of the Riemanlus victor and the "Longbowman" team composed of the Camelo anti-tank armored vehicles.
Camelo is a rare variant of Chimera armored vehicles. It is equipped with Hunter missiles that can threaten large armor and a multi-barrel laser. They are generally enough to deal with most enemy armor. However, Silas Ovik is not sure now, but they are still deployed in the right side of the defense line, so that they can use the range and automatic locking advantages of the Hunter missile to reduce the enemy's head vehicle first when the enemy appears on the bird meter.
"Cadian's Pride" follows the right side of "Ovik's Fist" and conducts regular cover and observation. The narrow and long victor cannon points to the right side of the team and aims at the bombed houses.
"The first squadron, here is Ovik's Fist. The situation is normal and you can move to the ambush position."
The armored colonel looked around from the periscope. The fire of war that had previously destroyed it had long been extinguished. The abandoned trucks leaned on the ground everywhere. The strong wind whistled past with brown rust, hanging on the metal plate and making a harsh low sound.
Ovik's Fist quietly listened to the various squadron commanders completing the report on the tank situation. Everyone's words were very short, but the content was clear.
Chapter completed!
