Silas Owick, who was sitting in his small command chair, said to the communication rosary. His voice could barely be transmitted to other Leman Russ tanks through the vehicle-mounted communicator.
The colonel of the Cadian 1652nd Armored Regiment listened quietly to the crackle of electricity in his earphones. The inexplicable interference in the subspace made long-distance communication difficult. Now they are the only force in front of the enemy. If they
If it fails, even if the red pirates cannot take down the battle group's headquarters, they may attack the Cadian troops from the rear who are resisting the heresy's frontal attack, causing the entire line to waver or even collapse.
Therefore, Silas Ovik deeply felt that he had a heavy responsibility, but their time was too short and they could not make too detailed a plan. They could only try to ambush and attack in the ruins of what was originally a food processing factory.
Block the enemy.
Although the Cadian 1652nd Armored Regiment was established relatively late, it has achieved remarkable results through its southern and northern campaigns and has become the best of all Cadian tank regiments. Their incomparable cohesion makes their units closely knit together.
, whether they are supporting infantry operations or engaging in battles with enemy armored forces, they can always execute orders with the highest efficiency.
The 1652nd Kadian Armored Regiment includes 1 command squadron, 4 combat squadrons, 1 reconnaissance squadron, 1 maintenance squadron, and 1 transport squadron. The command squadron is mainly composed of the regiment detachment, the communication detachment and the air defense detachment.
The regiment includes Silas Orvick's car, the Leman Russ Conqueror "Fist of Orvc", and the Leman Russ Conqueror "Cadi" piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Telisca, the second in command of the 1652th Regiment.
"Ann's Pride", as well as the Leman Russ Executioner "Coward Killer" driven by the regiment's political commissar Greg Kaman, while the air defense detachment consists of three Hydra air defense vehicles.
According to the conventional organization, a combat squadron has 5 combat detachments, each of which contains 3 combat tanks.
However, the four squadrons of the Kadian 1652 Armored Regiment include a siege squadron and a tank destroyer squadron. Each of them has only three squadrons, so the actual number of tanks in the four combat squadrons is 48.
Including the command squadron, there are 51 vehicles, plus the 15 Chimera armored vehicles of the reconnaissance squadron, for a total of 66 combat armored vehicles.
This number is not too small. Silas Orwick once commanded a small number of armors to fight twice the number of green tanks and won a complete victory without any losses.
But this time, he felt a little uneasy.
According to the limited information, the armors of the Red Corsairs seem to be large ones. The specific model of the soldiers who escaped death cannot be said, but according to the type of armor of the Space Marines, it is most likely Predator and a small amount of Xikaran.
Silas Ovik has never fought against Space Marine vehicles, but these tanks are definitely much stronger in performance than those armored by green skins, and the number of enemy armors is not clear, ranging from 20 to 100.
have.
The distance between the two sides is now very close, and the reconnaissance force is currently conducting a mobile search. He can only pray that this number is as small as possible.
"Thunderhead, ready."
The Thunderhead detachment of the 1st Squadron was the first unit to report back. Silas Ovik confirmed in the auspicious omen that they were spreading out 600 meters in front of the regiment command tank, covering the appearance of the tank with ruins and terrain, and observing
The situation ahead.
The Thunderhead Squadron is perhaps the most elite tank squad in the Iron Lords. For more than three centuries, it has been the key to the Legion, leading every attack or serving as the backbone of every defense. This glorious squadron
The three tanks of the 1652 Regiment have been in service since its formation, and the scars and honors carved on their bodies can be interpreted as part of the history of the regiment itself.
"Unyielding strength, ready."
The three tanks of the Indomitable Force are all Leman Russ Destroyers. This type of Leman Russ is equipped with a short-range but powerful Destroyer Cannon. Its lethality makes this type of tank an unquestionable close-range weapon.
The king of range combat, the Destroyer can bring deadly short-range firepower to the enemy with extra armor installed right in the front.
They are currently on standby at a position about 2,000 meters east of the ruins, ready to outflank the enemy's armor from the side and launch a fatal attack on the enemy's most difficult target at close range.
"Broad sword, ready."
The Broadsword detachment is composed of three Leman Russ Punishers. This tank sacrifices anti-armor capabilities in exchange for the ability to harvest large numbers of enemy infantry. The Punisher Gatling cannon mounted on the turret can provide an unstoppable force in a short period of time.
The terrifying firepower slaughters its target. Their role in this battle is to intercept the enemy's following infantry or light vehicles. Therefore, they are deployed in the peripheral depressions on the east side of the battlefield. They will face the enemy from the oblique side when the vehicles of both sides exchange fire.
The infantry ranks unleash devastating fire.
"Death Scythe, ready."
The Death Scythe detachment is a tank destroyer squadron. They consist of three Annihilator tank destroyers and are also one of the main core of this armored battle.
The heavy-duty laser annihilator equipped by the Annihilator can accurately hit enemy tanks at medium and long distances. Even huge super-heavy tanks are in danger of being knocked into their souls by one shot. The entire 1652 Armored Regiment only has these three guns.
Baby, this destroyer is so rare - the heavy laser destroyers it wields must be handcrafted, and few Forge Worlds have the knowledge and energy to craft them.
The other two tank destroyer squadrons are the "Poison Dagger" detachment composed of Leman Russ victors and the "Longbow" detachment composed of Camelot anti-tank armored vehicles.
The Camero is a rare variant of the Chimera armored vehicle. It is equipped with hunter-killer missiles that can threaten large armor and a multi-laser. They are generally sufficient against most enemy armor, but now Silas Orvik
Not sure, but they are still deployed on the right side of the defense line, so that when the enemy appears on the auspicious device, they can take advantage of the range and automatic locking of the hunter-killer missiles to reduce the enemy's lead vehicle first.
"Pride of Cadian" followed the right side of "Ovik's Fist", conducting routine cover and observation. The narrow Conqueror cannon pointed to the right side of the unit, aiming at the bombed houses.
"First Squadron, this is the Fist of Orwick. The situation is normal and you can maneuver to an ambush position."
The armored colonel looked around from the periscope. The fire of the war that destroyed this place had long been extinguished. Abandoned trucks were leaning on the ground everywhere. The strong wind was whistling past with brown rust, hanging on the metal plates.
A harsh whisper.
Fist of Orvik listened quietly as each squadron commander completed his report on the situation of the tanks. Everyone's words were brief, but the content was clear.
