Chapter 61: The Battle Begins!

If you stand on a high place and look down, the Chaos troops that launched the offensive are like a black wave, and the 401 Heights, like the high ground that stops this wave from moving forward, stands in front.

The degenerate marines, taking the squad as the situation, a combat combination of 12 men in a squad, launched the first wave of attacks in a skirmish formation.

The Marines, dressed in heavy full-body armor and wearing helmets, all looked tall, and because of the armor, they all became tyrant-like figures.

As the first wave of the offensive, the Chaos Marines had just gone to the high ground when they were blocked by the instructor officers and soldiers on the two strategic points of A, **.

When the first bullet pierced a leading Marine, the entire battlefield was like pouring water into boiling oil, and it ignited at the slightest moment.

Immediately, the Chaos Marine Corps, as the vanguard team, was about the size of two companies, and in the tentative attack, it was directly suppressed by all kinds of heavy firepower in the dense bunkers, and even the minefield could not be approached.

I saw all kinds of light and heavy guns roaring together, the suppressive shooting of various heavy machine guns, and the combined shooting of rifles, and then mixed with the point fire of precision sniper rifles......

Although the armor was relatively advanced, in the face of the dense rain of bullets, the two companies, about 400 marines, had to hastily drop more than 60 corpses and began to retreat.

However, the officers and men of the instructor did not take it lightly, they knew that this was only a test attack, and the opponent's heavy weapons were not used, and probably only such a unit that did not take the lives of the soldiers seriously would directly test the enemy's firepower from the open ground like this.

Sure enough, the conjecture of the instructor's officers and soldiers was not wrong, although the first wave of the offensive was frustrated, but the opponent would not give up the attack so easily, and then, with a sharp whistling sound, from a distance, you could vaguely see countless shells crossing a parabola, and then raining down from the sky.

"Be careful!! Shelling!!! Artyom shouted at Doron, and his voice was drowned out by a burst of heavy shelling.

Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom !! Terrible shelling after bombardment, on the hill, the barrage was like a lit fuse, from left to right, terrible explosions one after another, shrapnel, shock waves, raised dust, blown up fortifications, everywhere.

The troops in the bunker were fine, and the soldiers outside could basically only hide in their bunkers, praying that the artillery fire would pass as soon as possible, but the other side did not end the shelling so quickly, but continued for nearly 15 minutes of terrible shelling.

In an instant, the small hills of the two strategic points of A, ** became full of potholes, and the craters that were blown up became scorched black and scorching with a scorching temperature.

"Hey, Doron, are you alright?" At the end of the shelling, Artyom got up from his lying position, and then picked up his comrades on the side.

I saw Duolun shake the dust off his head, revealing his white teeth: "I'm fine." ”

"Damn shelling!!" Artyom said dissatisfiedly, and then at the moment, in the rear of our troops' positions.

10 MLRS multiple rocket launcher systems were in formation, and the artillerymen were busy.

"Calculation of the shooting elements, parameters are planned!! The front-line scouts have already given the coordinates of the local artillery units, and the target is 2039291093283!!! Full firepower! ** Type high explosive shell use! Shooting munitions!! ”

"Full firepower!! Adjusting the turret !! ”

"Car No. 1 ready !!" "Car No. 2 is ready!! ……”

"Launch !!!" At the sound of the order, I saw an extraordinary spectacle appear, only to see one rocket after another flying out of the air, and then looking at the enemy artillery in the distance to shoot.

10 MLRS rocket launchers, each vehicle has a total of 12 rockets, 10 vehicles, then 120 rocket warheads, 227 mm rocket warheads like the ancient Qin army shot crossbows, forming a dense arrow projectile.

Artyom had just finished complaining when he saw this extraordinary spectacle, and the warheads flew over the head of the position, shooting like arrows at the enemy positions that had just been shelled.

Then he picked up the binoculars and looked at the angle where the arrow was flying...... At the same time, the besieging tanks that had just shelled did not expect that just as they had finished shelling, the enemy's retaliation came, and the first soldier looked in amazement at the rockets flying like countless arrows in the distance...... He even forgot to dodge, and could only watch as rockets flew towards him.

The siege tank was just about to start its engine and drive away...... I saw one shot in the sky, another rocket suddenly burst, and then, like a goddess scattering flowers, each warhead produced dozens of small warheads, and then smashed down fiercely.

The scene was like a fireworks show, extremely beautiful, one after another rocket warheads ** opened, blooming one beautiful spark after another, and then this flame flower began to ruthlessly harvest all the shrouded life! When the first warhead fell, the whole ground seemed to be lifted by an invisible ripple, and then the terrible explosion drowned everything.

The earthquake shook the mountain, and even the heavens and the earth changed color, and just after the artillery bombardment, the dozens of besieging tanks that were still proud were swallowed up by this terrible sea of fire in an instant, and the marines who were in charge of covering were also swallowed by the relentless flames, and there were terrible explosions everywhere, and the whole ground was trembling. Burning, countless shrapnel flew up, and even with heavy armor protection, under such continuous explosions, at least more than half of the besieging tanks were directly destroyed.

Obviously, the shelling of the Chaos forces was more of a demonstration, but he didn't expect that the instructor was so frenzied that he directly used such terrible firepower to give the other party such a moment, and the angry commander immediately asked the surrounding ghost agents to find out the scouts who were guiding the shelling.

And then, the offensive was launched again, this time the real offensive of the chaotic troops began, only to see a large number of marines began to act, like a tide launched an offensive, they were stimulant, under the cover of the besieging tanks, launched an attack, and, in the rear, one after another Banshee fighters, have come to carry out the ground attack mission.

As a fighter that only fights on the surface of the planet, the Banshee does not have to break away from the planet's gravitational field and fight in the orbit of the planet, so it is not equipped with a high-output engine, but is equipped with two economical turbojet engines; The Banshee was only used against ground targets, so the designers did not equip the Banshee with any air-to-air weapons, but instead equipped it with powerful air-to-surface cluster rockets.

In the interstellar world, the Human Empire has undergone research and development, experiments, and finally formed a banshee fighter with low cost and relative superiority, which can be well qualified for the original design intention of carrying out battlefield tactical strikes. The Empire uses the Banshees as a lightweight ground support aircraft, allowing for quick and easy movement between galaxies. Although the banshee has many characteristics, because of its seemingly clumsy appearance, it was ridiculed by the emperor's officials when it was first put into use, and the banshee fighter was distributed to the militia units in the poor countryside to be used as a second-line support role.

However, no matter how discredited, the Banshee Fighter quickly won praise for its lightness and maneuverability much higher than that of siege tanks. Especially when fighting in terrain such as jungles and deserts, Banshee fighters are more able to traverse various terrains and carry out surprise attacks on enemies. The Banshee's surprise attack ability has been further enhanced after equipping the Ghost Fighter's stealth force field, and even in the enemy-controlled airspace, the Banshee Fighter can use its stealth ability to carry out a surprise attack and retreat with its whole body.

Although the attack method is monotonous, the shooting of a large number of rockets and airborne cannons on the Banshee fighter is simple and effective, and this kind of thing is produced quickly and is easy to form a scale, however, this batch is about a formation, more than 60 Banshee fighters, when they first appeared, they saw the ground on the 401 heights, one after another anti-aircraft missiles attacked.

The Banshees immediately unleashed their superior technology...... The Banshee Fighter that immediately used the shielding stance immediately went into invisibility!!

Faced with the stealth technology of the Banshee Fighter, the instructor was dumbfounded, only to see countless anti-aircraft AA bombs, suddenly skewering as if they had lost their target, and then exploded in the air. However, although the Banshee fighters were invisible, there were still unlucky guys who were affected by a large number of anti-aircraft missiles that exploded in the sky, so there were still two or three Banshee fighters who were unlucky enough to be hit by AA bombs, and then showed their bodies and fell.

Immediately, our side could only locate through the naked eye, as well as sound waves, and despite the shielding position, we were still able to detect the opponent through sound waves and careful observation with the naked eye, so a large number of anti-aircraft guns came in handy.

I saw the dense anti-aircraft fire towards the general behavior of the Banshee fighter group, and there were always some unlucky guys who were shot down by the dense fire.

Then, the Banshee Fighter Group still reached the firing position, and then, as if in retaliation, countless dense rockets swarmed towards the Instructor's position on the two hills.

The hill where the instructor officers and soldiers were stationed turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and in the midst of attack and defense, the tenacious instructor soldiers insisted on pouring ammunition with anti-aircraft fire on the banshee fighters who had exposed themselves because of the fire.

However, at this moment, the countless Chaos ground forces had reached their first obstacle, the minefield, only to see that the Marines who were in the lead were suddenly stunned by the anti-personnel mines that had been placed one after another, despite having good armor. However, there was still a certain attrition, and the anti-tank mines caused by the explosion of anti-personnel mines also detonated.

I saw one after another Marines being hit by the explosion of the mines, and stumps and severed arms were everywhere. Therefore, the siege tanks, which are auxiliary attacks, simply rush very directly in front of the infantry, and then directly hit the minefield in an attempt to open a path...... (To be continued.) )
