Chapter 174 The Siege Begins, and the Skadi Assault Team Is Established

The death of the director was a heavy blow to the rebels. Those soldiers were greatly assisted by the director's loyalty in their victory, and the director's grasp of the battle situation and high-intensity computing power were not something they could rely on.

Now that the Imperial Guard has taken over the war mission, the forge worlds and residential areas of the Adeptus Mechanicus are still in ruins, and the pain of those messy traces of death and ruins left on the surface will not heal in the short term.

Only a strong centralized force can exert the unity and will of the citizens of the Empire. Even the Emperor does not know how well his disciples can achieve it.

And what made Alan Bair heartbroken was that his badge and one of Skadi's sergeants needed to follow the Mechanicus Magi, otherwise they would dry up like a dehydrated fish.

At the same time, the Imperial Guard needs to conquer the Himalayan-like man-made object in the east in a short time. With the empire's strong industrial and material science foundation, it is a huge and almost indestructible fortress. Alan Bair will not be able to serve as a guest here. Its harmony now seeks the intersection of weapons.

The officers of the Imperial Guard gathered in the dark and promethium-lit east. Inside the temporary trenches and engineering equipment, the field command post was still made of the strongest metal, at least not the strongest thing they could find.

There are no messy lines here, just rough concrete foundations, and thick imperial metal. The narrow, stuffy, fully enclosed space is filled with a few tables, chairs, benches, and a strategic map played by an engine guy.

Although simple, it is enough when the communicator is shut down. The tables are arranged in a square shape around the middle, and Skadi's few officers are surrounding this place.

Although they are not experts in tactics and have experienced numbness in the war, but now that the radio has been shut down, the Imperial Guard needs to plan the entire plan at once and determine three basic points: location, time, and target or code.

The absence of sound and contact means disorder and the decline of combat power. The absence of heavy armor cover means sacrifice and death. There is no doubt that it will be a tough battle. Alan Bair looked at the map of the hive city and traced the rough surface with his leg fingers. Pass.

"The communicator is almost useless. He is honored to feel the smell of the forest again. Of course, the situation in their hometown is much better."

"They must determine all objectives and circumstances at once, and keep victory and the Emperor's favor close to their side."

"First of all, they need to understand the situation, Second Lieutenant, and report to Yidong their current situation."

The second lieutenant tidied up his military uniform, especially his carapace, which was wiped very clean at the moment. He was not allowed to step into such a place before, but this time he guarded the Skitarii Castle and was "very close" to a duel. After defeating a Chaos Space Marine Champion, he was obviously promoted. Although it was not a loss of military rank, it also explained his status.

"Well, did you all see him there for the first time? But I think he is probably no stranger to you. Tomorrow, he will be honored to..."

Alan Bayer suddenly cursed. "What nonsense am I talking about? They all ate in the same trench. That's enough. I'll go east and listen, private."

The ensign got stuck. "Boss, I can't, he... huh? What... private?!"

At this moment, a young man was wearing a baggy military uniform and new bulletproof armor, and his hair was not greasy or stained.

"Yes, no, sir, Yue'an, please call Dongtai now."

The second lieutenant choked up for a long time. He originally wanted to use his military rank to suppress it, but he saw the Catachan noncommissioned officer over there rolling up his sleeves.

Military rank? There is a P for military rank!

He was on the stage, under the attention of all the big guys in Skadi, and was humiliated, but Alan Bair didn't need a clerk to introduce himself, he needed both soldiers and commanders.

Alan Bayer didn't like soldiers expressing themselves, but on that battlefield, he didn't need people, he just needed things. On the contrary, he started talking directly after the private walked to the central area.

He opened his backpack and took out a strategic map that was comparable to a professional level display. It clearly marked the difference in combat effectiveness between the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty and the Adeptus Mechanicus, as well as the general situation of the capture points. He highly recommended which company to carry out. In terms of personal opinions on suppression and strategy, compared to Dong, the second lieutenant seems to be even more stretched.

He is not a local, but the point is wrong. Alan Beyer does not blame him for his opinion, but there are indeed advantages to being educated.

The private also spoke at this moment.

"They are currently fighting in the core city of the imperial forge world called Panlan. It covers an area of ​​about 2,435 square kilometers, but the core area is actually dozens of kilometers wide. For example, military equipment and military supplies can be made The location of the factory and the star port, based on this, the core area of ​​the main nest can be roughly divided into. "

He coughed, pointed at the strategic map with his leg, and then said. "It is a factory area where most of the firearms and ammunition are produced. It is also a residential area and full of human resources. It connects to the main road from the east. Monitoring it is equivalent to controlling the core of Pan Lan's transportation."

"Then in the city wall area, there are many skitarii entrenched there, so their firepower cuts off people outside the city from escaping. Secondly, even if they leave the city, the temperature outside the hive is enough to burn ordinary people to death."

"But he thinks it's a shame that the walls that once protected the citizens of the Empire are now killing their accomplices."

"The next is the Skitarii base, which is the gathering place of the traitorous sages, because the governor does not allow any intelligent things to approach the core tower of the God after the betrayal, so it has become the gathering point of the core forces of the traitors, and the fortress monastery of the Mechanicus, full of the worship of the God of All Machines by the former loyalists."

"Preliminary estimates show that it is equipped with a large void shield generator and about 100,000 combat servants and countless armed forces."

"And he personally prefers psychological warfare, and can use the captured Mechanicus sages to publicize the arrival of the Imperial Guard and the Empire's attitude towards them to create divisions and rebellion."

Alan Baier nodded gently. The plan was indeed good. Ming's Mechanicus did become loose and fearful because of the governor's abnormal xenophobia at the moment, but it did not mean that the task was easy. Fear is one thing, and expectation and belief are another. They are also afraid of the Empire and the governor, but they have already made the choice between the two.

And that mission requires someone who understands the oil man very well and is loyal to the Imperial Guard to do that, and Alanbair already has a candidate.

Secondly, they have the source of troops. Even if the Governor of Ming is so powerful because of the heresy, he is just one person. His arrogance and greed have isolated himself.

In order to complete the plan, it is obviously easier to misjudge a Governor than to misjudge half of the Forge World.

At this moment, the private continued to speak. "There is a region where the leader of the heretics is located. He is a disgusting traitor who has killed countless of his compatriots."

"That is the Tower of Divination, which is both the star port of that world, the tallest building towering into the sky, and the core of the traitors."

"It has the most powerful void shield system in that world and a thick adamantium structure to maintain its absolute power. The bottom foundation is almost embedded in the center of the earth."

"So they can hardly break through the enemy's defense from the ground, and long-range firepower can hardly break through the battleship-level void shield."

"So... they need to form a special assault force that can force a breakthrough in the enemy's exterior and then destroy the enemy's void shield generator. But he also knows that as a newcomer, he should not make such a choice. Now he applies to the imperial officers for this matter. He thinks this is the best way."

Silence, that is a choice of death. Even the Skadi people cannot accept such a plan casually, but Alanbair stood up. "He agrees. If it were him, he would do the same."

Then he smiled bitterly. "Of course, he also knew that the operation was a 100% sure thing, but he would go there anyway. During that time, the command of the troops was handed over to the private, who was to organize the Imperial Guard to carry out the destruction and invasion of the Mechanicus Skitarii base.

After that sentence, the lieutenant shouted again. "No, why, he has just joined the group, and such an adventurous operation should not be carried out by you, the boss, let him go!"

The other officers also became agitated. They stood up straight, as if to say that they would not listen to the order, but Alan Baier slammed the table angrily.

Bang! The thick metal table was completely smashed and broken into two halves. The metal spikes cut Alan Baier's leg and blood dripped.

"What is the responsibility of a soldier? !" he asked.

Others answered. "Obey, kill the enemy, protect!"

Alan Baier nodded. "So from now on, he, Catachan, and the elite officers of the first company will form that unit to enter the enemy's exterior to carry out destruction. "

"And our temporary commander will be the private, he is very young, I, the lieutenant, will be his adjutant, and I, the chief of staff, will also join him."

The staff officer who had always acquiesced to Alan Baier's actions suddenly coughed. "What..."

"I have no right to command him, he is independent of the Skadi's sole regiment, so he chose to go to the Divine Tower with me, I am the core of the Skadi people, understand?"

Alan Baier replied. "What if he leaves! What if the Skadi people become people who can't fight without him? He doesn't need soldiers to be his subordinates, he wants us to survive in any situation, without arrogantly despising other commanders, nor relying on him. "

"Now he has said it directly, the lieutenant and the private are his successors, if one day he can no longer maintain the title of war lord and Skadi regiment leader, then they will be the sole commanders! "

The officers were partly fooled and watched in silence. The staff officer had a gloomy face. He knew that the lieutenant colonel was wrong. No one knew what would happen in that dark universe. If one day Skadi could not contact the lieutenant colonel, would the whole team be wiped out?

The private was also very smart and understood the ways of the world and continued to speak. "At present, they have occupied the factory area, residential area and main street, but the Mechanicus Skitarii Corps paralyzed their equipment and servitors with the help of the psychic electromagnetic pulse, and during that time they had occupied most of the military sites with the advantage of mechanical power. "

The officers turned around and walked away, and tacitly agreed to the execution of the matter. Although it was difficult to accept that the young man who had not experienced much in the world was their commander, they had to recognize it.

Only the second lieutenant was different. When he received the order from Alanbair, he understood one thing. He was the "big brother".

He was the "big brother of the family" and his boss also recognized the matter, so there was no doubt about it.

The ensign stretched out his leg to stop the recruit. "Is it true that my boy is a surprise soldier from the sky? The boss doesn't believe that he can lead the brothers to have a good confinement, is it true?"

He thought for a while and then said to Alan Bayer. "Boss, he will definitely take good care of that kid. I don't need to worry about other things. The chief of staff is also with him. I just need to kill the heretic and wait for them to come for support."

Alan Bair sighed. "If they support us, Skadi people, they always remember that a proud enemy will be defeated, and they have always despised scientific background, but apart from blood and tradition, there are many things that connect them, and they are fellow human beings. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Keban or Catachan, just kill the enemy.”

"There are two kinds of people in the world, winners and losers, and he begs everyone who is alive in Skadi to be a winner, no matter how much it costs or how many sacrifices it requires."

"Compared to that, the price of obedience is not high at all."

"Now, Catachan marches out!"

With a command, the Catachans walked out of the crowd. "No, Captain!"

Alan Bayer said again. "Officers out!"

People wearing military uniforms with many badges on their chests came out.

"No, Captain."

Alan Beyer said. "They want to fight tit for tat with the heretics. No matter what, no matter when and where, they ask for this, and they have always been prepared for it. As the oldest members of the group, they have a responsibility, and that responsibility is not limited to the orc attack. What the Imperial Guard's predecessors inherited when they emerged from the trenches is still preserved, and now, it's time for them to fulfill it!"

"Operation goal, turn off the void shield, kill the heretics, and protect the empire!"

"Nothing else. Do you have any doubts?"

the soldiers answered. "No!"

But there were a few "new recruits" who raised their legs. "Boss, he wants to go too!"

Alan Beyer said. "We don't deny the former members of the Third Regiment, they don't, understand."

"If I think I'm qualified, I'll challenge one of their old guys."

At this moment, the Catachan soldier raised his legs and arms, revealing the bronze legs and arms and the Catachan devil tattoo on the horse.

And seeing that scene in the eyes of the private, the appearance and experience of him being pushed away by the adjutant that day suddenly reappeared, vividly in his mind, and he understood why he joined the Imperial Guard.

Then should we inherit something that will make the empire continuous and last until the Ming Dynasty...
