Chapter 90, Ground Attack

Gu Hang suddenly felt a wave of heart palpitations.

He stood up from his seat, went to the window and looked out.

From here, the specific conditions of the battlefield cannot be seen, but the sound of angry heavy artillery can be heard across half the city.

He already knew that Gritte and the Extreme Battle Sisters had already rushed over there, so logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.

However, Gu Hang could not ignore his previous uneasiness.

He is a psychic, and intuition is a thing that most of the time can truly predict that something is going to happen.

Hearing the sound of cannons continuing, Gu Hang still felt uneasy.

Instead of getting hung up here, it’s better to go there and find out in person.

Gu Hang set off.

Before setting off, he also sent a message, hoping that the Phoenix Chapter, who had found a place to rest in the city, would also rush there as soon as possible.

This was still a mission request, and as he put it, Sister Soretta might get into trouble.

I believe he had an affair with a nun in the past... Oh, no, it was the Chapter Master Martins who had fought side by side, so he probably wouldn't sit idly by.

Anyway, they are idle when they are idle.

…

Gu Hang rushed over very quickly, and as soon as he thought about it, he flew into the air.

That's the benefit of being a psyker.

By the time he arrived at the scene, Lambert, Purbeuf, Gerrit and others had already begun the ground attack for a while.

The previous multiple rounds of artillery fire destroyed more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces. The entire factory area was not only in ruins, but it was not much different. According to their assessment, under this situation, the non-professional soldiers inside were only temporary weapons.

The workers who got up not only suffered heavy casualties, but their morale was probably about to collapse.

The next thing is that the infantry, led by the battle nuns, enters and cleans the battlefield. The dead ones are left alone, while the alive ones are pulled out as prisoners and thrown into prisoner-of-war camps. It is none of the army's business to see how the follow-up arrangements are carried out.

"Anyone who still resists will of course be shot to death."

According to Perbov, this should be a very easy operation.

Sure enough, all fear comes from insufficient firepower.

There is no such heavy artillery that can directly damage concrete and cement structure buildings. Just rely on the previous 60mm mortars, grenades, rifles... If you want to take down the current factory area, even if the opponent is just some armed workers, I am afraid it will be difficult.

A lot of lives have to be sacrificed.

But now, just using the ten captured 155mm heavy artillery pieces, this battle has become countless times more comfortable.

If you can use a big bomb to blast dozens of fucking rounds first, and then the infantry goes up to clean the battlefield, then who is willing to risk their lives to fill the trenches?

How about saying that artillery is the god of war?

However, before entering, Gerrit issued a warning to him and the commander of the 6th Battalion.

"Don't let your guard down, there are powerful enemies inside."

"Is there any strong enemy?" Perbov was a little unconvinced at that time. What strong enemy could be stronger than a 155mm howitzer?

Then, he remembered the heroic appearance of the Phoenix and the Holy Mercy Lily on the battlefield.

Uh... if there are enemies of this level, it doesn't seem to be possible.

If someone else had said it, he wouldn't have believed it, but it was this gentle and powerful head nun who spoke.

Then just believe it.

Purbov discussed with the battalion commander of the 6th Battalion and decided not to throw all the troops into it. Although they only have 600 people in total, which is not enough for this quite large factory, they would rather go slower.

Also be more cautious.

They each formed a company and entered first.

When the company entered, they were divided into teams and were responsible for advancing. The distance between the teams was relatively wide, and each team was divided into three or three groups to sweep the semi-ruined factory area.

At the request of the officers, the soldiers hunkered down and relied on the ruins as a cover. They moved forward a little slowly and cumbersomely, but very solidly. They would not move forward easily before thoroughly confirming the safety of an area.

As a result, there are indeed enemies.

Moreover, these enemies have a very strong will to resist.

Guys wearing workmen's uniforms and holding weapons no better than iron pipe rifles emerged from the ruins.

When they show up, they are usually only thirty to fifty meters away from the soldiers who are advancing in search, which is not too far.

After coming out, they used their weapons to fire a bunch of bullets at a group of infantry.

The soldiers reacted very quickly. They quickly lay down and looked for cover. The armed workers' marksmanship was not very good, and most of them missed the target. If they were really shot, the plastic steel armor on their bodies could save their lives.

While one group of soldiers is being suppressed, another three-person group not far away will immediately launch a counterattack.

Relatively speaking, the marksmanship of the soldiers under Gu Hang is much better than that of the armed workers. The performance of the G9 assault rifle is also far more reliable than the weapons in the hands of the armed workers.

The trio can kill all the armed workers who pop up with one round of shooting.

After completing the kill, they did not put down their guns, but continued to aim their guns there and made tactical gestures to the previously suppressed group of soldiers.

The three people quickly stood up and headed towards the location of the shot target.

They were going to confirm the results of the battle and see if there were any remaining enemies. If any enemies were still alive, they would replenish their firepower. The three who had completed the kills would provide them with fire cover. If any enemies appeared,

They will launch fire strikes as soon as possible.

Not far away, Gerrit, who was about to take action, lowered her gun.

Her eyes were even a little surprised.

The performance of these soldiers was somewhat beyond her expectations.

Before, she had not paid much attention to the combat status of these ordinary infantrymen under the Governor. Although the individual equipment on their bodies looked very similar to that of the regular army of the Empire - G-type rifles, plastic steel vests. But these could only be regarded as the most basic.

Cannon fodder equipment.

Logically speaking, the team should not only be equipped with mortars, but also may need several LR-type laser guns and HS-type electromagnetic rifles; simple fragmentation grenades may not be enough, even if melt bombs and compression energy bombs cannot be produced, at any rate

I also need to get more rocket launchers.

Even if they are pure light infantry, the equipment of these infantrymen under Governor Gu is still far behind.

But this is understandable, forgivable, and even worthy of praise. At least, the Governor has worked hard to bring his military equipment closer to the Astra Militarum. What else can be forced?

However, when it comes to fighting, the combat literacy and combat performance of these soldiers are impressive.

Although the equipment is not adequate, the training level is as good as a regular Astra Militarum force.

This kind of team cannot be underestimated even by Gerrit.

With the help of these people, she felt that she and her sisters could feel a little more relaxed.

But just when she thought this, something changed suddenly!
