Silas Ovik glanced at the tactical display of the Riemanlus Victor, and the twisted runes and tactical icons on it swarmed together. Although the Red Pirates' super-heavy armor still had strong strength, their offensive gradually weakened with the firm defense and counterattack of the Imperial Army. Even when the Chaos Space Marines began to enter the battlefield, the situation gradually became stalemate.
And during this period, two new troops arrived at the support battlefield, namely the 8th Regiment of the Kadian and the 19th Regiment.
The 1st and 3rd companies of the Tianshi Team arrived with them.
The moment the Imperial reinforcements arrived, the commander of the Fourth Overweight Armored Company of the Red Pirates knew that the attack had failed and they had no strength to continue to advance. They had lost 5 armors throughout the attack, which was one-third of the entire company.
Perhaps he should have waited for the arrival of the Space Marine infantry behind to start fighting, but now it is too late to regret these things. Continuing to fight here will only lead to annihilation of the entire army.
Therefore, Ditrich decisively issued a retreat order, and even he did not cover the infantry that followed the attack, but directly ran away with his armored troops.
His farewell also means that the Red Pirate Space Marines who arrived here with the armored forces must face the most elite Astral Army armored troops of the Empire and the Sky Lion Group Space Marines who came to support them. The result is naturally self-evident-
The Rieman Russ tank slowly ran through the open space between the ruins. The images in the infrared imaging system roughly showed the situation in the distance. Silas Ovik chose a magnification of 20X. At the same time, the driver was also observing the situation ahead from the periscope's field of view. The image was light gray and there were several black heat source signals in the middle.
Silas Ovik was a little annoyed by the failure to completely eliminate the Chaos Steel Beasts. In less than an hour of battle, their regiment lost a total of eighteen tanks!
This is not only one-third of their combat effectiveness, but also one-third of their comrades and brothers!
He wanted to take revenge, but the 1652 Armored Regiment attached more importance to orders. They were asked to assist infantry and spacemarines to eliminate those enemies who were fighting stubbornly, and then they would definitely strictly enforce it.
"It may be the enemy. The infantry company of the Eighth Regiment was responsible for covering the cover, and the Thunder Head Team was ready to shoot immediately."
Silas Ovik began to mark the targets that need to be hit, with a total of 4 targets. Although the image clarity is insufficient, he can roughly confirm what unit the other party is.
Ten Chimera armored vehicles belonging to the Eighth Infantry Regiment of the Cadian stopped moving behind the Rieman Russ tank. Then the infantry hid out of the crew compartment with laser rifles and concealed to the rear of the tank.
Ovik also saw the changes in those blue beacons in the birdbuyi. Now the four Rieman Russ tanks are ready and can continue to move forward.
"Start the shelling, three rounds of rapid fire, the target is the area ahead."
After receiving a shooting warning, the driver stepped on the pedal.
"I understand, shooting coordinates are being uploaded."
The flames when the Victor Cannon fired once again illuminated nearby buildings, and at the same time, more heat signals emerged from the infrared imaging system, jumping from the buildings and rushing straight towards the armored forces.
"Single-soldier rockets are approaching."
The Thunder One's commander issued a report, his voice was calm, as if he knew that this weapon could not destroy the Rieman Russ tank.
Ovik's idea was very different from him, and the colonel knew very well that the rockets were targeting the infantry units around.
"Warning friendly units around to look for cover."
"Command confirmation."
The fragments caused by the air waves hit the armor and formed a series of sounds, and the flashes shuttled through the road. As the armored team began to move, more people were hit, and the impact of the rocket explosion caused every soldier to fall to the ground.
Ovik roughly estimated the number of opponents. From the previous periscope image analysis, he saw at least 10 single-soldier rockets appearing in the field of view. If it is a dual rocket launcher, then at least 5.
These individual anti-vehicle weapons will be a threat to armored troops entering the messy ruins.
After long-term consultation with Cried, the leader of the 8th Kadian Regiment, they called for artillery support that had arrived at the artillery position.
Soon, the shelling of the two-legged flying dragon mortar began to repeatedly ravage the ruins of the enemy that might exist. The flames, smoke and dust swallowed up the collapsed building complex. Normal people would definitely not survive, but it is hard to say that those heretic Space Marines.
The infantrymen of the Eighth Regiment of Kadian then reorganized and followed the armored forces forward. The dust raised by the shells filled the air, causing the visibility to drop to less than 50 meters.
All the crews turned on infrared imaging systems and carefully searched for the heat source signals in the area. The surging smoke and dust quickly swallowed up the Kadian Legion that was advancing forward.
After advancing for 100 meters, Ovik ordered the tank teams to stop advancing, and the infantry immediately stepped forward and divided into various squads to search forward.
In a short while, the infantry took up the battle.
The flash of the muzzle of the bomb gun was like a twinkling star in the universe in the smoke and dust, but it was extremely fatal. The soldiers hit instantly became incomplete, and several infantry squads were killed in the smoke in an instant.
Without any additional commands, all the Cadians were also put into the shooting array, and the red laser beam and tracer bullets of heavy machine guns pierced the dust and shot straight to the heresy's position, sweeping across their positions.
Then the combat cannon of Riemanlus also released artillery fire, and the flash of explosion illuminated the dimness in the smoke and dust.
"All teams keep a distance, the unyielding force team is on guard, and the Kuaijian team is responsible for covering both sides."
After conveying the order, Ovik focused his attention on the front viewfinder, observing and analyzing the battle situation ahead.
The losses of infantry are currently good, but the enemy's troops deployment has not been fully detected, and rash advancement is still an inappropriate choice.
The strike of the Rimanruth Punisher was like a storm, tearing the broken rocks and metal into pieces. The Chaos Space Marines hiding behind the shelter immediately suffered more intense fire than they projected onto the Imperial Infantry and began to retreat.
At the same time, a more harsh noise broke through the wreckage, hitting the armor of the Rieman Russ tanks, making a sharp sound. Ovik stared at the targets that were shooting, and he knew that there must be more threatening enemies.
Those things looked larger than the outline of Chaos Space Marine, with towering spikes and teeth.
There is no doubt that it is the Terminator.
