For the Cadian 356th Regiment, their task 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 after a period of time, then the rest of the planet will
Reinforcements will arrive one after another.
Everyone has a consensus that although the Red Corsairs are coming fiercely, the three million Astra Militarum cannot be easily swallowed. After all, there are one million brave and fearless Cadian people among them.
Now they must hold on and hold every stronghold, waiting 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.
Fiery bombs continued to pass through the air above the head, and the bullets hit the surrounding ground. Commissar Grigori shouted hoarsely while trying to keep his head low, trying his best to encourage the Cadians to attack from their posts.
Shooting at the enemy while trying to keep himself alive, though his boots would occasionally sink into the mud, hampering his movement.
The enemy has launched several assaults on the fortress. Those heretical scum who tried to imitate the Astra Militarum were met with a head-on attack outside the fortress. Heavy bolters continued to chew the dirty ground, eliminating many Tyrant soldiers who tried to cross the grounds. This fortress
It is a standard Cadian stronghold. All firepower is well protected and there are a large number of hidden firing ports. The enemy will be shot from the side no matter which direction they move.
The mud was already covered with red corpses, and the cries of the wounded could be faintly heard amidst the sound of gunfire.
The fortress is a tenacious behemoth of concrete and metal, with a square top with rough edges, lit by the light of various large-caliber weapons and weapons dotting the battlements.
Political Commissar Gregor went all the way to an inconspicuous command tower high on the fortress, where he saw Garland Salomon, the commander of the 356th Regiment, who was adjusting firepower via radio.
"The enemy's offensive is very fierce, and the shelling has not stopped. I am worried that the city has fallen, but I don't know when the latest reinforcements will arrive."
After seeing the political commissar, Garland Salomon, who was as strong as a beast, expressed his concerns.
"The casualty rate has now reached 20%. What's worse is that I'm worried that the ammunition reserves will not support us in fighting until tomorrow or for a long time."
Suddenly, despair about the future was replaced by more realistic worries, as a wave of energy hit the fortress.
The two walked out of the bunker and looked up, seeing several crimson-painted Thunderhawks flying past in the sky. They had unloaded the power armor giants in the cabin in the distance and were now conducting air suppression on the fortress.
The gunship unleashed a hail of heavy bolter shells and missiles onto the heads of the Cadian defenders, the exploding bullets slicing through the guard's light green carapace as if it were paper.
The Cadians immediately tried to hide under cover and fight back with the weapons they had, but the laser guns had little effect on the flying beasts. However, the situation was different when the hidden Hydra anti-aircraft cannon suddenly opened fire.
I saw a Thunderhawk being involved in the violent metal storm, and then began to shake violently. One wing was directly cut off, and then one of the engines exploded directly, and then it fell to the ground and turned into a huge fireball.
The thunderhawks immediately fled high into the sky like a flock of frightened birds, causing the Qadians to burst into enthusiastic cheers.
However, their voices soon fell silent, because in the distant smoke, guarded by those towering giants, some behemoths slowly drove out.
They look very similar to the Predator tanks used by the Imperial Space Marines, but they are completely different. Over the countless years in the warp, they only have a little resemblance to their former glory, but the armor has been destroyed by countless terrible weapons.
Tainted by atrocities, they became receptacles for horrific monsters born of pain and torture in the ether, but their weapons were more deadly than equivalent Imperial armor - these weapons were once common in the Imperial armies, but due to various
The reason was forgotten by the Mechanicus Priests, but it still exists in the sources of the heretical Dark Seers.
There were five such terrifying war machines, and they were followed by a large number of walking tanks.
The so-called walking tanks are a type of light armored unit used by the Blood Pact Army in the Sabat Expedition in the past. They look like a lightweight version of the Desecrator Demon Engine, with three pairs of piston mechanical legs similar to spider legs, and a small turret equipped with twin
Laser cannons or heavy explosive bombs, the entire walking tank has only one driver, and this unlucky guy is usually fixed directly in the cockpit by various wires.
Although this kind of armor is very inferior and weak, it is still a kind of armor. It is light and fast and can enter narrow battlefields like infantry. However, conventional anti-infantry firepower cannot penetrate segmented armor. To eliminate such
A tank requires at least one shoulder-fired anti-tank missile, which perfectly complements the missing link between infantry and heavy tanks, similar to the Sentinel mecha of the Astra Militarum.
"kill!"
Accompanied by the low roars of the Chaos Space Marines, a large number of Tyrant soldiers held rifles and shouted blasphemous slogans. They formed a formation under the cover of armor and began to launch the deadliest charge towards the fortress, with the intention of taking it down in one go.
.
"Cadians! Cadians! If this place is destined to be our tomb, then let as many heretical bastards as possible be buried with us!"
Garland Salomon's voice was carried throughout the fortress through the loudspeaker, and he himself was already on the front line of defense.
In a short period of time, dozens of tons of artillery shells hit the Qadian fortress from a distance.
Almost immediately, all the Cadian counterattack firepower was released, including the previously hidden assault gun bunker.
The hidden war weapons were activated, and physical bullets began to fire at the heretic army. The bullets bounced off the armor of the Predator tank, barely scratching the paint on it, but the tyrant soldiers fell into pieces like harvested wheat.
Falling down, even those walking tanks erupted with sparks when hit and collapsed to the ground.
Realizing the threatening firepower within the fortress, a Predator stopped on its tracks, the oversized energy coils of the massive weapon on the turret hissing.
As the coil began to glow with supernova intensity, the Predator's turret quickly spun and pointed toward an assault gun bunker.
This Chaos Predator is called the Executioner, and its turret is equipped with a terrifying plasma destroyer that can turn the heaviest tank or bunker into a puddle of molten slag.
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the nozzle in front of the Plasma Destroyer, and the hot gas ball hissed across the battlefield and hit the center of the bunker's dome.
When the charged plasma collides with the bunker, the solid structure instantly disappears in boiling flames, turning the assault guns and soldiers inside into molten smears and melting the surrounding ground into something resembling obsidian.
