Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth everyone is very energetic
The Knights' surprise attack fleet will act together with the "sinked" fleet. When the fleet is about to approach the low-Earth orbit of Sarna, it will directly launch a surprise attack.
The four Clear Sky-class cruisers must destroy the orbital defense system above the planet within three minutes, and then conduct orbital bombardment against the intended target, the position near Crystal City.
Of course, this kind of orbital bombing must not be a saturation type, otherwise the strategic materials in warehouses on the outskirts of the city will be burned, and the meaning of the surprise attack will be lost.
The knights will sit directly on the heraldry aircraft and perform orbital airdrops under the cover of artillery fire. Their scheduled landing location will be in the hilly area less than 1,500 meters south of the warehouse area. The rocky low mountains here are densely covered, which can provide a certain degree of cover.
effect, and at the same time, it will never affect the speed of everyone's attacks.
After all, they are astral knights, and all of them possess unique skills. Coupled with the latest crimson-type heraldic machine, the increase in combat power is by no means as simple as one plus one is greater than two.
This is the battle plan that Shameen and Sobek, as well as the other friends of the Knights, discussed and formulated. To be honest, it is a bit crude. However, for psykers, too detailed a battle plan sometimes has the opposite effect.
It will become a restriction for them, so it is better to let them play freely.
Shameen's order was passed on truthfully, and the knights nodded one after another. Just as they were about to leave and rush to the hangar, Colonel Soback added: "From the time of the attack, our stay on Sarna Planet
The time must not exceed twenty-four hours. Otherwise, the red fleet nearby will definitely swarm us."
"Have you all heard it? Then you should also know that this will definitely be a hard battle, and we have no retreat! Please be sure to show the due consciousness!" The Viscount made the final explanation to the knights.
, and then said to Major General Bai Ya: "Admiral, please also paint our ships."
"Painting?" Major General Bai Ya was slightly startled.
Shameen shrugged and smiled: "I'm talking about the sign of being sunk. Since we have prepared to use suspects, of course we must use them to the extreme."
The officers on the bridge and the knights who had not yet had time to leave couldn't help but stop, feeling inexplicably being shamefully played. However, they also knew that in order to win, this was a last resort.
They could not object, and their hearts were immediately filled with indignation and fighting spirit.
Of course, some people may find it very exciting, and a certain kind of xp that is not suitable for outsiders is fully satisfied, but this is not important.
The fleet's equipment is also very advanced. While everyone was still "queuing up" at the gravity well, an automatic maintenance robot that looked like a steel octopus climbed outside the hull and smeared it on the silver-white smooth sides.
The cross represents being "sinked".
Everyone felt that they had been tainted, gritting their teeth and watching all this. As a result, the morale of the more than 200 knights and more than 3,000 elite stormtroopers in the fleet suddenly exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is a typical use of military morale. The next step is to use it to break the formation and board first.
When it was finally the turn of everyone's fleet to start the jump, the knights had even completed the preparation of the heraldic machine, and had even sat in the cockpit, closing their eyes to rest and calm down and regulate their breathing.
As a newcomer to the Astral Knights, it is the first time for Colonel Yeager Soback to act with so many extraordinary beings, and it is even the first time to see so many heraldic machines in the same frame. Although he has had many actual battles
experience, but this is indeed the first time for this type of actual combat, so it is inevitable that I will be a little nervous.
Just when he was about to rush over to familiarize himself with the cannons on the heraldry machine, the voice of Viscount Shameen came from the communicator: "After landing, I will take the lead in leading the charge. If I am 'killed', you must
I have to take command."
For a moment, Soback felt as if he was hearing an auditory hallucination. It took him a long time to realize that the other party had switched in through a private communication channel. Even so, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "This, I, you are really good at this."
Just kidding. I'm just a colonel, second ring. Below you, there are Baron Hayero, Sir Oswell, Sir Ifara..."
Colonel Soback reported the names of seven or eight people in succession. All of them had three rings, and their military ranks were all brigadier general or colonel. They all held the position of captain of a nine- or twelve-man squad. They were the elite backbone of the Knights, and they were also
The first-level command force of the Empire's extraordinary army that shocked the universe. The command authority of each of them is above that of the newcomer Soback.
These people are the foundation of the Astral Knights.
"You are indeed a newcomer, so you are also playing the role of a staff member during this period. However, the situation just now has proved your officer's foresight and tactical acumen. What you need now is prestige. If I die in battle, you
Just contact Baron Haiyeluo directly. Don’t worry, I will fully consider all your opinions."
Baron Hayero is the oldest knight on this ship. He will turn 40 in a year. He is a mature, steady and diligent brigadier who does not have too many ambitions. Because he is old and warm-hearted, he is popular.
, his prestige among these young extraordinary beings is still very high, second only to Shameen, and he is also the second commander of this group of knights.
Shameen's meaning is very simple. If he "dies in battle", the mature and steady Baron Hayero will become the nominal commander, but Sobek will become the commander of the century and give full play to his mobility.
Soback was deeply moved by the other party's "kindness of knowing him", but the more he felt like this, the more guilty he felt.
However, the more than 30,000 soldiers in the fleet naturally had no time to pay attention to his little thoughts at this time. The ten giant ships had completed preparations for the jump, and the huge steel figures had a dislocation in light and shadow, as if
It was stretched in an instant, and then disappeared into the vast galaxy.
At almost the same moment, in the defensive position outside the Crystal City, the Knight Commander of the Astral Knights, Count Seriola, accompanied by Brigadier General Kebede, came to the hill outside the city and checked.
Artillery positions for (space) space.
It stands to reason that Brigadier General Kebede's army is a standard reinforced garrison division, and it has obviously further strengthened the equipment it carries. He did not know that there were twelve Centurion Type 4 walking armors gathered there, which was a heavy
The nearly 300-ton behemoth is a completely mobile armored fortress that can be equipped with large energy cannons or rail guns for both air and ground purposes. In addition to suppressing firepower against enemies on the ground, it can also be used for planetary air defense.
Now, the Brigadier General has deployed these twelve Centurion 4s on the hill. In addition, he has also gathered more than 30 heavy artillery and missile racks of various types from various places, all of which can hit close to the ground.
The kind of track that has a very layered artillery position.
That's not all the big things that the Brigadier has done. You know, although Crystal City is a bit in decline now, it was historically a place rich in strategic resources, and it is close to the border. There is a shield generator in the city, which can operate to a certain extent.
to withstand orbital bombardment.
This shield generator produced a hundred years ago can still be used after a little debugging. Brigadier General Kebede was immediately full of pride in the military strength of the empire, and then gave away all the city shield generators without hesitation.
It was dismantled and installed directly on the artillery position.
The citizens of Crystal City didn't think there was any problem, but found it quite interesting. Without disturbing the residents, they dismantled a planetary shield generator that was as big as a TV tower, and then used it again twenty-four hours a day.
The level of engineering that was installed as it was on the outskirts of the city 40 kilometers away was definitely a visual spectacle. The citizens were filled with excitement when they saw it, and they were full of pride in the engineering capabilities of the Imperial Army, and some even ran to the scene.
Went to see a peep show to cheer up.
However, Crystal City's shields should not be removed, but the original city's anti-aircraft firepower is still there. The Werewolf General sent someone to take over their central control, and after checking, he found that 80% of the weapons can be used.
. This made him overjoyed, and he was once again proud of being an imperial soldier.
All in all, in this way, the newly built positions on the outskirts of the city, the original firepower in the city, and the three defense satellites located in outer space can form a diferent force in air defense.
Brigadier Kebede is still very confident in his defense.
Seriora was also very satisfied. Although he was not a famous general, he had systematically studied various military drills, and he really couldn't find any faults.
"I heard just now that a high-speed special ship entered low-Earth orbit. Is there any problem?" the count asked.
During this period, Brigadier General Kebede has sealed off the entire planet for military management reasons. Even the daily entry and exit of civilian ships need to undergo three rounds of stricter inspections.
Although shipping has been affected to a certain extent, the local resentment in Sarna is not too great. Again, seeing so many troops building construction projects in this remote sector of their own, the citizens of the empire who already have military attributes are all
There is a sense of participation in a grand festival.
Just now, another high-speed ship appeared in the low-Earth orbit of the Sarna star with far greater maneuverability than ordinary civilian cargo ships. Just as it was preparing to land, it was intercepted by the warning fire of the outer space satellite taken over by Brigadier General Kebede.
It was forced to stop, and several passenger ships nearby that were queuing up for inspection were frightened.
Count Seliola was very curious about the follow-up to this matter.
"It has been found out. It is a surveillance ship of the Grand Inquisition. The passenger on the ship is the senior investigating judge, Swift Wind."
The First Knight Commander frowned slightly. Swift Wind is the chief investigating officer of the Grand Inquisition, and is equivalent to the first person in charge of psychic crimes and investigation in the empire. Although the two have different systems, they have interacted with each other several times.
However, the count really didn't expect that he would hear his name here.
"Why is he here?"
"He said he was passing by to investigate a case. It's impossible to tell me the details." Brigadier General Kebede shrugged: "I asked him to queue up for investigation."
Seliola glanced at the other party and had a high opinion of the werewolf brigadier general. Although the Imperial Army and the Grand Inquisition are not the same system, it is difficult for a senior mortal officer to compete with a psyker who has been famous for a long time.
So tough in front of me.
"Then what?"
"Although Judge Xunfeng drove the ship a little recklessly, his attitude was still very upright. He showed your pass from Tianyu, agreed to our scanning of the ship, and also provided the identity information of everyone on the ship except him.
, there are only four crew members, and I have allowed them to descend."
This is indeed the style of Judge Swift Wind. In addition to his love of racing boats, his attitude towards life has always been very upright and humble. He is a decent person worthy of admiration. Count Seliora nodded in his heart. Although he is very
I am curious about the reason why the chief judge came to Sarna, but now is not the time for gossip.
When the battle is over, if he hasn't left yet, treat him to a meal.
Seliola thought, and then quickly focused his attention on the position again. He calculated carefully, then pointed at an ion cannon two hundred meters away and said: "Move that cannon forward.
About five meters."
The officers present looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what expression to make. Brigadier General Kebede put his hand on his chest, feeling a very ominous premonition.
"Don't get me wrong, gentlemen." The knight commander quickly explained: "I have no intention of interfering with your troop formations. You are the experts in the construction of fire positions. However, that gun position happens to be a leyline point. I
A psychic array needs to be set up there. This will make it easier for most soldiers to concentrate."
General Kebed was startled for a moment, and then he realized that this should be the halo ability used by the knights in battle formations, and he suddenly became excited. Although he was a general of the elite Panzer Grenadier system, he had not yet enjoyed the star power.
As for the aura buff of the World Knight, my heart is naturally full of expectations.
"What do we need to do?" Brigadier General Kebede asked quickly.
"I still have to choose twelve locations for the formation. If there is a conflict with your officer's artillery position, then..."
"No, everything takes your request as priority. As for the cannon, move it forward a few meters and retreat a few meters. Although it cannot be said that there will be no impact at all, there is still a solution." When the werewolf general said this, he said half-jokingly:
"Fortunately, you only mentioned anti-aircraft guns. If you mentioned machine guns, I would also have a headache."
"You are facing the enemy's defense arrangement, and I cannot comment on it at will." Count Seriola pondered for a moment and said: "In this battle, I will try my best to provide you with assistance and side support, but I will not
Is it okay to take action directly?"
Brigadier General Kebede was slightly startled, and his fighting spirit became more and more obvious: "Thank you for your understanding! The soldiers of the 12th Panzergrenadier Division will never let you down!"
