Chapter 28 The mission has just begun
In the establishment of the Imperial Guard, a full squadron consists of 10 men, a full squadron consists of 10 squadrons plus fire support, a total of about 150 men, and a group consists of 10 squadrons plus one or two armored squadrons and heavy equipment. It is composed of fire support points, and the standard establishment is about 2,500 people.
This battle to regain the planet was completed by the Second Legion composed of candidates alone. In this battle to regain the final rebel stronghold on the planet, the Second Legion sent a total of 4 brigades to target the ribs of the rebel defense circle. Attack from both sides from the north and south.
Among them, the southern end of the rebels' ribs was the most heavily defended. In order to penetrate the rebels' defensive circle in one fell swoop, the Second Army deployed its two most elite brigades in this direction. Of course, this elite group was only among the candidates. Internal comparison shows that there is still a big gap compared with the battle-hardened rebel team.
Coordinating the attack with the Fourth Brigade was the Fifth Brigade, which was also known for its bravery in combat in the past few days. In the Fifth Brigade, two squads have been assigned designations, namely the Beta Squad and the Unruly Roar Squad.
It can be said that these two brigades are the two most powerful fists of the entire Second Army. All military aid and personnel recruitment are the first to meet the needs of these two brigades. Therefore, despite heavy casualties, these two brigades are still Maintain full strength and extremely high morale, on par with the Imperial Guard.
The rebels, who were severely under-strength, also deployed their most elite troops in the south. There were a total of 5 infantry squadrons and one armored squadron. At the same time, air force and ground artillery gave priority to support. Although the number of personnel was very different from that of the examinee army, they were victorious. Due to the advantage of the terrain, as well as the rebels' sufficient training and rich combat experience, the actual combat strength of the two sides is not much different.
However, the problem of the examinee army finally broke out in this critical battle.
As soon as the battle started, the 5th Battalion, eager to gain military exploits, took the lead in attacking without coordinating with the 4th Battalion. The two squads moved forward and continuously broke through multiple rebel defense lines. When they rushed to the rebels' southern line, When near the command circle, the Fourth Battalion was still making breakthroughs on the outer defense line.
Next, disaster struck for the Fifth Battalion. The two experienced rebel squadrons facing the brigade were conserving their strength from the beginning and did not confront the Fifth Battalion head-on. Until the Fifth Battalion's assault speed was too fast and too forward, completely When entering the ambush circle, the two squadrons, together with the rebel air force, immediately launched a counterattack from every corner of the street.
During the assault, the other squadrons of the Fifth Battalion did not strictly implement the contents of the infantry code, and did not seriously clear out the various buildings and shooting positions on the street. They blindly strived for credit and advanced until they fell into an ambush. In a panic, they again Forgetting how to wait for help, the candidates did not obey the captain's orders and just found corners they thought were safe to hide in.
The ensuing battle was a one-sided massacre. The Beta Squad was completely wiped out by bullets fired from the side and rear. Only the captain of the Roaring Squad was left. After the two most powerful squads were destroyed, the entire fifth squadron lost all morale in an instant. Everyone just wanted to escape back to the base camp and had no intention of fighting. However, the rebels followed these chaotic candidates and massacred them. The corpses of the candidates even covered two roads.
From the beginning of the rebel ambush to the end of the entire battle, 1,900 people in the Fifth Brigade died, and the entire brigade was completely disbanded.
However, the two squadrons opposite them only lost 30 people in the whole process, and their overall strength was not affected in any way.
Then the two squadrons moved to the attack direction of the Fourth Battalion of the Candidate Army. They repeated their old tricks. They did not directly attack the vanguard of the Fourth Battalion. Instead, they waited for the Fourth Battalion's front line to lengthen and cooperated with the armored squadron from the Fourth Battalion.
The two wings of the brigade launched a pincer attack.
When the Fourth Brigade, which had penetrated three of the rebels' defense lines, was suddenly attacked, the entire team did not collapse on the spot like the Fifth Brigade. Instead, they followed the orders of the captains at all levels and defended on the spot to withstand the rebel counterattack.
Even so, the Fourth Battalion is still in danger. Once their forward troops are broken by the rebel squadrons defending from the front, the two rebel squadrons that are still in a defensive state will counterattack from the front. By then, the Fourth Battalion will
It was only a matter of time before he followed in the footsteps of the Fifth Brigade.
However, the spearhead of the Fourth Battalion was not broken, not at all, and with almost no pause, it kept digging deep into the rebels.
This front line was the Alpha squad and the other four squads that provided support to the squad. Although these five squads made rapid progress, they never forgot the requirements of the infantry code and cleared every corner of the roadside.
The rebel squadron was never able to ambush them. After losing several snipers who were ambushing on both wings, the rebels with insufficient strength had to withdraw the snipers in order to strengthen the frontal defense. This approach gradually made them unscrupulous.
The attack speed of the forward troops of the fourth group further accelerated, and the Alpha team even broke away from the cover of other teams.
The rebels realized that the best opportunity had arrived, and immediately divided their forces, using half a squadron to resist Alpha Squadron's frontal attack. The other half squadron cooperated with infantry fighting vehicles to launch counterattacks from the other two directions, and finally successfully pushed Alpha Squadron from
"Split" out of support from other squads.
Subsequently, the rebels used the strength of a squadron to attack Alpha Squadron from front to back, with the intention of annihilating this elite squad in one fell swoop, completely clearing the morale of the Fourth Battalion of the Candidate Army, and then repeating the mistakes of the Fifth Battalion.
However, the rebels are now the first to be struck.
Zhang Yi killed several rebels before without swaying the opponent's military morale, and then used his homemade energy cannon to instantly kill 32 rebels, which frightened his opponent.
In 2 minutes, Zhang Yi killed 37 rebels, and his teammates killed a rebel captain. This was already a squadron of 14. Facing the assault direction of Alpha Team, there were only half a squadron of troops, but they were killed within 2 minutes.
Half of it was cleared, and the last frontal defense line had actually been penetrated by Alpha Team.
Alpha Team, including Zhang Yi, apparently did not realize that the frontal battle was over. Except for the captain's loud voice, the entire team would always remain quiet during the battle. This earned Alpha Team the title of "Silent Ghost" among the rebels.
Now they are still staying calm, waiting for their opponent's reaction.
The rebels were obviously frightened by the sudden casualties. The remaining people were retreating involuntarily, muttering "devil" in their mouths. They could not accept such a fierce attack from Zhang Yi, and the entire team collapsed.
edge.
Behind the ruins, Zhang Yi is also waiting. According to the settings in the Warhammer world, he should be conducting a morale check on the rebels at this time.
Once the opponent's morale is too low, no matter how the political commissar suppresses it, this front will completely collapse. The rebels will flee in all directions and abandon all their equipment. These equipment will be the most harmful to the Alpha team, which is almost exhausted of ammunition.
Good addition.
The voice finally appeared, not from the rebels, but from Lancôme behind Zhang Yi.
Five minutes later, Lancome didn't care that she was exposed to the enemy's gun. She jumped out of the roadblock and fired violently at the position designated by Zhang Yi on the second floor. The recoil of the laser gun was not strong, which allowed her to control the range of her shooting.
In an extremely small circle.
No one knew what her purpose was for suddenly opening fire at an inconspicuous corner. Just as the rebels gradually came to their senses and prepared to reorganize their defense lines under the roar of the political commissar, something even more terrifying happened.
A rebel Letling dwarf screamed and fell down from the corner where Lancome shot. Five or six holes were punched in his body. He was completely dead before he fell.
The existence of this sniper was even hidden from the rebels before. The rebels did not realize where the Letling dwarf sniper was. Now, as if Lancôme already knew it, he opened fire on the position where the sniper had just moved.
she kills.
This is not combat ability, but prescience.
She had foreseen everything.
The killing of the Letling sniper completely shattered the confidence of the frontal rebel defense, or in other words, they failed the second morale check. Even the political commissar of the squadron among the rebels was stunned and unable to move after witnessing this moment, let alone
Instead of shooting deserters to improve morale, the frontal defense front was finally completely defeated at this moment.
The rebels were running around, leaving behind their weapons and even their armors in disdain, just to make themselves run faster and get away from the demon behind them as quickly as possible.
That demon exudes a heart-stopping aura, and every soldier targeted by him will die within seconds, unable to escape.
That devil can see through people's hearts and see every hidden soldier. No matter where he hides, he will find and kill him.
There is also a woman beside the demon who can foresee the future. No matter what premeditations he makes against them, they will be discovered. All soldiers who are unfavorable to them will also die.
These thoughts, accompanied by the panic of the deserters, continued to spread to other defense lines of the rebels.
Don't fight against the devil, stay as far away from him as possible.
The defeated soldiers spread this message to everyone around them. In their view, the failure was not their responsibility, but the result of the opponent being too powerful, even surpassing the Space Marines.
At least the Space Marine's attack came from straight ahead and there was still a chance to defend. But the demon's attack came from all directions and in various attack methods, and there was no chance of defense.
Not caring that the deserters were not far away from him and could even threaten his life, Zhang Yi jumped into the barricade behind the rebels' last defensive line and lit the laser firework in his hand.
The first rebel base stronghold has been captured by Alpha Team.
The Fourth Battalion's frontal defense line was penetrated.
Zhang Yi picked up the large-caliber laser cannon set up on the barricade, looked at the other rebels who were chasing behind the team and attempted to retake the stronghold, and spat hard.
Chapter completed!
