Chapter 62: Chaotic Battle
Half a day after the war went on on for Terra, the Stingers' side was in shambles.
The psyker in charge of communications reports the battle from the front line, and the Stinger processes this information in the brain to replicate the current battlefield situation as much as possible.
Then Stinger was left with only one impression of the war.
Confusion.
The evacuated own troops did not have the slightest effect of covering each other, the enemy seemed to be everywhere, and the various units were still too busy to take care of themselves, and some even confused the direction of retreat, and rushed in a panic in the direction of the blocked passage.
Stingers would have liked to mobilize four or five regiments to organize a defense on the spot, at least to open a safe exit path for their cronies, but this was simply impossible.
The enemy may appear in front of or behind them, may disappear after a single volley, or even large groups of the enemy may appear in the center of several nearby regiments, stun them and run away, and the defenses established by those regiments are useless.
Stinger didn't have much time to adjust his deployment, as he had something more urgent.
"My lord, we must deal with the enemy's artillery units immediately, and by the time I report to you, thousands of them may have been blown to pieces!" One of the psykers turned to look at the stinger, urging him to react quickly.
Stinger rubbed his head, quickly came up with a countermeasure, and then picked up the communicator: "Ayryn, I need you to immediately lead your mobile troops to the location where the enemy artillery appeared, which is directly north of the 12th District, only a kilometer away from your position. ”
Arryn was the commander of a mobile regiment on the Tyrone 2 Planetary Defense Team, and his men didn't travel on their legs, but all in Centaur troop carriers.
Originally, Tyrone's planetary defense force would not have such a division of mobile troops, but Stinger and the Governor like to use tricks in war, and they just need a unit that can quickly execute their plans, so the heavily built mobile force was born.
"I've seen the artillery." Erin's voice rang out over the communicator, he had no psychic powers, "These cannons are deployed outside the city, and no one is going to operate them, but they just can fire." ”
"I don't care what the enemy's artillery is like, I only care if you can deal with them, get out of here, I'm staring at you." Stinger commanded coldly.
The stinger wasn't meant to scare Erin. With the blessing of the Lord of Wisdom, he could really see Arryn's every move.
Erin had no intention of disobeying orders, and he and his mobile regiment were running towards the location of the artillery.
However, the unmanned artillery didn't know if they didn't notice Erin, they still didn't care, and continued to pour fire on the battlefield in the distance.
Arryn's soldier turned his head and couldn't help but look at the bombed position.
People could not be seen clearly due to the distance, but the flash of light and smoke from the violent explosion could be seen clearly.
Stinger had used his previous experience to speculate that at least half of the regiment would have to be blown up in this round of shelling, especially now that the situation was so chaotic, and the shelling would be more effective against troops who could not find cover.
"Don't teleport, don't teleport, don't teleport......" Stinger said as if he heard Erin pray, apparently he had encountered the target teleporting away before.
Luckily, a kilometer was a short distance for the soldiers led by Arryn, and it took them less than a minute to get close to a position where they could fire.
"Fire!" Erin snarled and ordered.
After the order was given, the centaur troop carrier in which Arryn was riding exploded on the spot, and the debris fragments burst into the sky.
This sudden attack attracted the attention of the others, and all the soldiers of the regiment had to abandon the artillery in front of them and turn their heads against another group of enemies.
"When did these bastards show up?" Stinger gritted his teeth, and he saw that in the rear of the motorized regiment there was a whole regiment of the enemy.
They weren't even on the road, they were in combat mode when they appeared, all the Riemann Ruth tanks lined up, the power-armored infantry using the tanks as cover, their commanders poking out half of their turrets, roaring loudly with laser pistols, and a drone of unknown significance floating in the air in front of them.
Arryn's mobile regiment, on the other hand, only began to turn after a surprise attack, by which time the enemy had already launched a second round of attacks.
The personnel carrier was destroyed by tanks, and the infantry rushing out of the vehicles were set on fire.
Some skilled pilots steered on the spot to ensure that the heavy logging guns or heavy explosive bolts on the personnel carriers could reach the enemy, but to no avail.
All entities' bullets are crushed when they fly underneath the drone, and only the beams fired by the laser rifles of other infantry can hit, but most of the time they hit the tank armor.
"They're dead." The stinger opened his eyes, a little numb.
Stinger loved war, not because he could cut people, but because he could use his cunning and the gifts he had received from the Lord of Wisdom, but now the war brought him only anger and reluctance.
Although it was considered before the war that the enemy might use teleportation technology to fight, but it was not known how to fight, and these vanguard units were used to test.
But the test results were far from expected.
This teleportation technology is a bit too stable, unlike anything I've seen elsewhere before.
"The mobile regiment is gone." Another psyker reported to Stinger and waited for him to react to the news, to see what the marshal's favorite unit would look like without it.
But Stinger didn't react, he just muttered, "I was wrong from the start, I shouldn't have let them retreat." ”
"No...... No, no, no. ”
"If you don't retreat, it's no different from staying where you are and waiting to die, and those enemy troops who are teleported can easily do what they can't do in normal warfare, that is, flanking from front to back."
"Dead, it's really dead."
"This war is all a mistake, and I should not have listened to the Governor's war...... No, it's not. ”
"At least we now know how the enemy fights, so it's worth the sacrifice, otherwise we wouldn't even have had a chance to discuss what to do."
Stinger kept talking to himself like crazy.
"Haha." The psykers in the room burst into laughter, they loved to see the stinger deflated.
If there are outsiders present at this time, you will find that these people do not look like a relationship between superiors and subordinates at all, and even everyone is very busy on the surface, but Stinger's orders are not always conveyed.
"The ritual is ready."
As the stinger grew more and more depressed, he finally heard the good news, and immediately got up and walked out of the building and into the square outside.
