Chapter 897 Elite Traitor
The attacking Imperial forces had great military exploits, but the traitors responsible for holding the line were by no means unknown. In Chaos factions, in order to achieve their own ambitions, Chaos Champions will attract various small groups of Chaos slaves to form their own armies. The size and strength of different forces vary greatly.
Among them, the Rebel Guards are one of the most sophisticated troops among all the servants of Chaos, in terms of military quality, sophistication of equipment, and psychological quality. The army of beasts and mutants is savage and uncontrollable. To the cruel and ruthless champions of Chaos, these creatures are worse than cannon fodder.
The renegade Imperial Guard betrayed the Emperor's faith, abandoned their duty to protect the Imperium and humanity, and fell into the arms of Chaos, from companies to entire legions. In the process, they will also take away all the ordnance they can get. They are like the opposite of the Imperial Guard, except that their mental state is more crazy and the decoration of their weapons is more cruel.
The damage to the mechanical behemoth's body was all inflicted by weapons familiar to the Imperial Guard, and the most dangerous swarms of Chaos Space Marines and Degenerates in the Rebel defenses had yet to appear.
The Chaos army deployed five lines of defense in the area in front of Blackstone Spire No. 7. The closer the defense line was to the spire, the stronger it became. There is a 3333-meter-wide buffer zone between each line of defense. The decaying witchcraft of Nurgle has been poured into the land in advance, making it as difficult to move as a mud pit. Any troops attacking from one line of defense to the next. They all need to overcome mud pits of varying depths, stinking flesh-eating flies, and virus mines that can turn people into zombies.
The first and second lines of defense built by a small number of traitorous guards and a large number of beastmen and mutants were easily penetrated by 20 mechanical behemoths. Bendict's armored regiment and other imperial troops swarmed forward and easily took over these two lines of defense.
"Keep moving forward! Keep moving forward! Don't slow down your speed! Physical fatigue is an illusion of witchcraft! Be firm in your loyalty to the emperor!" The orders of the imperial officers resounded in the sound array channel, and they spoke ruthlessly and excitedly Urge the army to advance at full speed. The slower pace will be dragged into the quagmire, and then there will be no possibility of survival. This is a valuable experience gained with blood.
The imperial infantry ran closely behind the armored troops. The imperial political commissar who always charged at the front was supervising the battle behind them. Whenever a soldier's feet were caught in the mud, he staggered and sank, or fell directly into the mud pit. With only half of their heads exposed, the political commissars would use pistols to give these soldiers the gift of death. Slow decay in the mud is much more terrifying than death.
Many enemy tanks suddenly poured out of the third line of defense. Bendict took a cursory glance, and his experience and intuition told him that there were nearly 10,000 tanks in front of him.
The shells of these tanks are wrapped in flowing mysterious colors, and the colors appear completely different from different viewing angles. Many crystal clusters and various inspired eyeballs sprouted out of the armor.
"AT70 Reaper tanks, our armor can handle them." The first gunner Wright who controls the Mega cannon said excitedly. He had already watched the third gunner Dori and the third loader Waski use laser beams and The sight of explosive bombs tearing the enemy apart became exciting.
"That's what the AT70 Reaper Main Station Tank was called before. Now they are terrible machines tainted by witchcraft! I can hear the cry of the machine soul!" Machinist Howal was even more excited. As a staunch fundamentalist, A Christian priest, he abhorred any additional design beyond what was on the drawing board.
"The enemy's tank formations are dense and chaotic. Their masters don't even think about what results they can achieve. They just use their corpses to delay our progress." Second Lieutenant Terry said disdainfully.
Bendict was very satisfied with the fighting enthusiasm of the crew members. He calmly and hatefully ordered into the communicator, "All eleven guns and cannons are on full fire! All Guard soldiers, follow me on the battlefield of glory!"
The best response to Bendict's order was the volley of artillery fire from the 101st Armored Regiment. The artillery shells weaved a web of death and directly hit the tanks that crossed out from the third line of defense. Hundreds of AT70 Reaper tanks had their armor destroyed, and artillery shells ricocheted up and down in the space inside the vehicle body, crushing the bodies of the crew members.
Some vehicles were paralyzed and emitted black smoke, and some vehicles exploded, and colorful flames sent the turrets into the sky. And they also fought back against the incoming mechanical behemoths and armored regiments.
The Cadian Stone relied on its thick armor to block more than a dozen attacks from AT70 Reaper main battle tanks. These tanks that were produced in the Udsh Forge World were a whole level worse than the Leman Russ series tanks, and this This also makes the manufacturing cost of these tanks so low that it can be compared with the products of the Orcs.
The AT70 Reaper does not have any auspicious or laser ranging equipment installed in the body, nor does it have a gyroscope to ensure the accuracy of firing when moving. All artillery relies on human calculations by the gunner, but this is not enough for half the head replaced by a magnificent crystal. It's really not a problem for the crazy tank crew.
The main gun of the ATA70 tank is a laser cannon and a 105mm hypervelocity cannon. These weapons are statistically difficult to penetrate the armor of Leman Russ, but under the contamination of Chaos Sorcery, the shells fired by these artillery Damn curse.
Bendict witnessed a team of six Leman Russ tanks being hit by a salvo of more than fifty AT70 Reaper tanks. At first, those shells could only make a shallow hole in the front and side armor of the Leman Russ. There are pits, but if you look closely, you can find brown-red rust in the shallow pits.
The rust became more and more obvious in the attack of artillery shells. The AT70 Reaper tank's main gun was able to inflict more and more damage to the Leman Russ tank. With an unpleasant cracking sound, an armor-piercing projectile finally went through. Entering the rusty Leman Russ tank.
The muffled explosion blasted the crystal cluster out of the gap in the tank. The bodies of the crew members hung outside the tank like intestines from their stomachs. Some tanks that were too fragile and corroded by rust were even directly destroyed. The expanded crystal cluster shattered directly, and every face of the crystal was engraved with the painful faces of the crew members.
This bizarre method of death was enough to cause the unsteady Imperial Guard to collapse on the spot, but the Imperial Army, which had gone through the Great Purge, fought back with a more ruthless and fearless attitude.
Facing the most vicious enemy, their hearts were filled with the fury of revenge.
