Chapter Seventy-Three: Armor

The enemy only has half a company of Chaos Space Marines, and on my side, depending on the progress of the mechanical priests, I will soon have a reinforced platoon-level armored commando team, including three Riemannus Ruth tanks and five Chimera armored vehicles.

Looking at the tanks being assembled, I couldn't help but feel excited. The towering hull, the angular iron-gray shell, the huge turret and the thick, long barrel all show the supreme power and charm of these kings of land warfare, and the mottled paint and scars on the surface of the hull bear witness to their heroic appearance on the battlefield and the helplessness of the enemy in the face of this heavy armor. This is the strongest shield, the sharpest blade, and the quickest warhorse that the emperor has given his servants, and this is the finest and most reliable weapon that the forged world to which Mars and the god of machines belong to the Qiē machine god have to offer mankind, and this is the perfect combination of defense, firepower, and mobility! Just as it always brings victory, its appearance on the battlefield is a great morale boost, its fortress-like steel body itself a sturdy and fast-moving bunker, its engine roaring like the most impassioned battle song, and the roar of its battle cannon turning a huge enemy that all infantry fears into burning wreckage or ruins in an instant. What soldier wouldn't want to be accompanied by a tank when he steps onto the battlefield? And what officer doesn't want to have an elite tank force under his command?

Among the Genotypes of Space Marines, if Robott Kiriman of the Extreme Warband is the most famous figure among the Space Marines because of the holy book he wrote, then Riemannruth of the Space Wolf is a mortal soldier who is a saint in the minds of mortal soldiers because of the tank that bears his name!

If it were on the ground battlefield, three Riemannus ruths plus a few Chimeras stuffed with infantry would be enough to crush the entire company of Chaos Space Marines and then build a sea of pagan cannon fodder.

The morale of the crews who could serve as infantry seemed to be very good, and I could sense that they were not satisfied with holding on and were eager to launch a counteroffensive. Captain Vane kept clamoring for an immediate counterattack, not caring about his own injuries.

The acting captain and his team of guards appeared to be badly wounded, their suits covered in sealing tape, and some of them had blood under their masks. In today's environment, the slightest tear in the suit can quickly take a person's life, and all they can do is seal the hole, and nothing can be done about the injuries on the body. Rao is like this, they are still high morale, not at all like rookies who have not experienced war. I can't help but be impressed by them.

With an armored unit and a high-morale infantry, what more could I ask for? That's enough.

"Now we can't go on the offensive. Lieutenant Colonel. Our forces are strong enough to defend, but not enough to support an offensive. Ah Da poured cold water on me with his cold, mechanical voice.

Ah Da and the others will not give advice, only mechanically obey orders, but when he speaks, I have to think about it calmly. The human mind is easily lost to emotion, but the machine never will.

I know that Ah Da's position in the Cult of the Mechanicus cannot be as simple as a mechanical servant. The first time I met him, he was an officer in the Cathar Army, part of the Cult of Mechanicus Archaeological Expedition, and judging by the number of men he commanded, he was at least at the rank of captain.

I calmly observed my troops, and then easily identified numerous flaws.

Let's say we don't have enough tank drivers. Just like the awkward situation of the nuns on the Redemption of Heresy, I have more chariots on my side, but I also can't find enough qualified riders. Ah Da is not bad, but even if he has eight hands to complete the work of four people, which is barely enough for the number of a car group, then it is only one tank, and what about the other two? Although the Navy's mechanical priests seem to be able to drive, they are only at a level that can drive cars, and they are far from the skilled drivers required by war. …,

And those tanks and combat vehicles that look very powerful, when you think about it, are also not very reliable. On the ground, tanks and armored vehicles are undoubtedly unshakable steel fortresses, but in a gravity-free environment, these steel fortresses cannot even run on their own tracks, and can only be pushed by additional jets to move slowly, and if you fire a shot in this trembling floating state, you may immediately overturn the vehicle. At the same time, the air flow of the jet was also a nightmare for the accompanying infantry behind the combat vehicle.

And the crew who had no experience in infantry and coordinated operations, and the surrounding battlefield environment, which was more complex and narrow than any urban roadway, was too much of a headache.

This environment is the home of elite commandos, where Space Marines or renegade Space Marines are at home to take on mortal troops ten or even a hundred times their size, or destroy unwieldy armored vehicles with bombs.

"But we have to attack! If we stick here, the enemy won't have to take care of us at all. All they had to do was send a few more technicians over, restore the power system, and drive the ship away. So we are a complete failure. Captain Vane said.

In other words, our defense is meaningless, just to protect our own lives. The cargo compartment is not an important strategic location for the ship. If the enemy had taken control of the ship and driven it away, the battle we had on this ship would be meaningless. I might be able to stay out of it, and even if they survive, they won't have a comfortable future. Liability for the loss of a large ship......

I understand why Vane was in such a hurry to counterattack, even if he didn't have enough troops at his disposal. At this time, even if you die in battle, it is much better than surviving to withstand the sanctions of the Empire.

I don't have much time left. In the short interval of moments, the ship was no longer as dead and silent as it had been when I first landed here, and through the slight vibration under my feet, I knew that the enemy had begun to restore the power system. It won't be long before the subspace engine has enough energy to start, and everything we've done before will be meaningless.

"If you refuse to attack, then let me lead this attack." Captain Vane lashed out.

With me here, where is your chance to be a hero? Looking at his hideous face under the blood-stained mask, I suddenly felt as if I had just overlooked something.

Although there are more Chaos Space Marines in only half a company, there is still no threat to me if they are dispersed, and my real identity is a battle warlock, and I only occasionally play the role of commander, I serve in the infantry regiment most of the time, where do I have the experience of commanding armored combat? How could I forget my job? Could it be that you got carried away after owning a tank?

Reason! Be rational! The duty of an officer is to make the most efficient use of the resources at his disposal to achieve the best combat results.

I waved my hand, "I'm the highest-ranking person here, and I'm in charge here." Now I'll assign the task! ”

All of them listened to the commandment.

"Ah, go drive that tank, come with me."

"You, go and drive that Chimera," I picked a mechanical priest, "load a few more mechanical priests, and come with me." ”

"And the two of you." I picked two crew members with sentry mechs.

"All the rest, keep me here, and not a single enemy will be allowed to infiltrate. Remember, you must not only hold this position, but also protect every qiē material in the warehouse, especially heavy weapons and chariots, at any cost, otherwise you will rather destroy them than fall into the hands of the enemy! ”…,

"Please, Captain Vane. I'll clear out the enemies later and give you back the ship. "Finally, I explained it with a telepathy.

Vane raised his hand in salute, then turned to his assignment. I waved at the tanks, vehicles, and mechs I had selected, and stepped into the darkness beyond my defensive position.

Behind me, the massive steel objects turned on their headlights and lit up for me. At my side, Aishwarya silently accompanied me on my way.

And my family also complained that I wasted a lot of time in front of the computer, and if I didn't show some actual results, it seemed that I would be ordered to close the pen. After all, I'm thirty years old and unmarried, and I'm suspected of not doing my job properly on the Internet all day long.

I am an ordinary worker, doing the most unskilled hard work, and I earn 100 yuan from working eight hours a day. It seems to be a relationship with this work.,It's been a blind date for almost ten times, and it's been a 100% failure.。 And I currently have nearly 3,000 collections, and if each reader gives me a dollar, it will be enough to double my income.

The original intention of writing was because of the long-term book shortage, and I wanted to write a book that could satisfy my own needs and meet my YY needs. But with passion and love, I can't say how long I can last.
