Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

The tactics were indeed a great success. Abigail, who was not afraid of death, completed the task very successfully. He led his men to fight with the orcs. At the beginning, they sneakily gave the orcs a very good blow. It was a perfect sneak attack, which hurt the orcs very much. So the orcs were very passionate about fighting with Abigail. They called their friends and quickly led a small tribe nearby. Then behind Abigail, there were about a thousand greenskins.

In this way, Abigail led a large number of orcs into the preset position. Soon after Abigail's company entered the already designed safe area, the ambush was launched. The rumbling sound of the explosion resounded through the world, and the ground under the feet rose and fell like waves because of the sudden and violent explosion. The flames shot up into the sky. Hundreds, or more green orcs were blown up into the sky. In an instant, a golden-red explosion with green dots appeared in the sky.

What was even more successful was that Abigail and her group did not suffer too many casualties. Apart from the loss of manpower during the attack and retreat, Abigail and her group, who had experienced the explosion in the trap area, were not injured at all except for being covered in dust! Only one idiot lost his earplugs and was deafened by the explosion.

Such a successful tactic made Rayleigh so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Of course, many other regiments also wanted to copy Rayleigh's victory, but they were not as lucky as Rayleigh. They lacked two people. One was that there was no explosion expert like "Black Dragon" in their regiment, and there was no one else except Favillia who could guarantee that their bait troops would be unscathed near the center of the explosion area. In addition, they also lacked a fearless company commander like Abigail.

So they could only watch Rayleigh continue his victory with envy, and for Rayleigh, the next week was the happiest week in his life. Orcs were not a race known for their wisdom, and someone looking for them to fight was a very pleasant thing for the orcs, so Rayleigh easily plotted against the orcs three times, and three small orc tribes disappeared under Rayleigh's scheme, but when he used the same scheme for the fourth time, Rayleigh encountered big trouble.

After the explosion, a large number of orcs flew into the sky and dropped their apprentices. When the dust settled, Rayleigh found a large number of orcs appearing from the horizon through the telescope.

"Oh my god, we've hit the jackpot this time. Where did all these orcs come from? Where did they appear from?"

"They came out of the ground," said the deputy commander, Marlborough, standing aside. "It seems that we are going to be unlucky this time. I suggest that we retreat temporarily and retreat to the 503 highland we passed before to build a defense line to block the enemy."

"Block? What to block? We are only one regiment. Look at the green all over the mountains. There are at least one or two armies of orcs. What are the intelligence departments doing? So many orcs gathered in front of us, and our regiment didn't receive any news at all."

"It is said that the orcs are getting used to it. They are used to digging tunnels. They usually hide underground when they have nothing to do. Our eyes in the sky can't see what's under the soil. "

"Are these still orcs? These green rats! They are getting more and more cunning. "

"My captain, the most important question now is what should we do?"

"What else can we do? We can only follow your instructions. We retreat, but we can't retreat like this, otherwise we will be kicked by these orcs. Communicator, contact the command headquarters, use the S-level code, the code is, kill the greenskins. Give them the coordinates, the coordinates are..." Then, a string of data came out quickly from Rayleigh's mouth, and the coordinates of the orc army were quickly sent to the command center.

Marlborough was stunned, "What is this?"

"Hey, just look at it, this is our new weapon. I have never used it since it was built," Rayleigh yelled to his communicator, "Tell our people to prepare for shock and wear earplugs. There will be a big explosion soon! Let Abigail, that bastard, withdraw from the front. Don't worry about the greenskins in the encirclement. Now we are the ones who fall into the encirclement." Rayleigh sighed and said, "Really, if you are not careful, the hunter and the prey will fall. I thought the good luck would continue."

Rayleigh's code and reported coordinates were quickly transmitted back to the headquarters through the S-level secret telegram. Vivien completed the comparison and review in the electronic computer in just a few milliseconds, and at the same time a command was sent to the planetary cannon.

The planetary cannon built on Autumn Star is not an authentic "planetary cannon". The power of a real planetary cannon is beyond imagination, and the range is even more exaggerated. If the record Li saw is a historical record rather than a novel, then a complete planetary cannon can be fired from Autumn Star to Reach Star.

This distance is about the same as the distance between Earth and Mars, which means that a cannon built on Mars can hit the Earth with one shot. Such an exaggerated range makes it difficult for people to regard it as an ordinary cannon.

Of course, it is said that the complete version of the planetary cannon is as big as a small city, and the construction cost is an astronomical figure that is enough to bankrupt Li. The construction time is not short-term, and the manufacturing drawings and key core technologies are firmly in the hands of the Imperial Defense Force Marshal's Office and the Mechanicus. In short, the genuine planetary cannon is a big thing with terrifying power, but the cost is even more terrifying. Fortunately, Li did not want such a deadly thing as a planetary cannon. An incompletely abridged version of the small-sized planetary cannon is enough for him to deal with the situation.

But even the incompletely abridged version of the small-sized planetary cannon is not small. The body of the cannon alone is as big as a large building. Vivien's order was directly sent to the gunner's room inside the planetary cannon. The red light and the shrill alarm sounded in the entire planetary cannon when the order was issued.

The coordinates were quickly verified, and then through calculation, the cannon's posture, elevation, and direction were sent to the power room of the planetary cannon at the first time. The workers in the power room shouted and opened the equipment one by one. The motor unit that could not be seen at a glance began to roar violently. The workers in the boiler group also began to work. Carts of coal were poured into the huge boiler, and white steam began to surge in the pipes of the planetary cannon, just like blood began to flow.

After a while, the alarm began to sound around the planetary cannon, and then there was a loud "puff". A large amount of white sprayed out beside the planetary cannon, and the steam filled and rose. In an instant, the huge planetary cannon was almost wrapped in white smoke. But this was only a short while. After a few breaths, the steam rose, revealing the huge body of the planetary cannon. The groaning of steel sounded, and the huge planetary cannon began to slowly rotate its posture, and the barrel began to move and adjust the elevation angle.

"The gun's posture has been adjusted, the firing parameters have been determined, the wind direction and climate correction have been completed, the review, the review is complete, the shells are loaded, and the planetary cannon is ready."

"Attention, all units, the cannon is about to be fired, take anti-vibration and anti-noise measures, the posture remains unchanged, three consecutive shots, three seconds countdown to fire, three, two, one!"

With the violent vibration, the planetary cannon made a loud bang, and at that moment, it seemed that even the surrounding air was vibrating because of the loud noise.

The shell flew in the air for a full five minutes before it drew an arc in Rayleigh's telescope and fell to the ground. Luckily, this shot hit the side and rear of the orc line. After the huge explosion and fire, a large number of orcs were blown into the sky.

Then came the second and third cannons. The second cannon was in a better position than the third one, and it exploded right in the center of a large number of orcs. Rayleigh was so happy that he almost laughed to death. But the third cannon made Rayleigh gasp, and all his laughter disappeared, because the third cannon was a bit off, hitting a small hill in the distance. Rayleigh felt a chill on his back. He was lucky. It was off in the distance. If it had deviated from the direction, he would have cried.

Anyway, taking advantage of the chaos of the orcs, Rayleigh led his regiment to retreat safely to Hill 503, and successfully purchased a solid line of defense.

But for Rayleigh, the hard days had just begun. The strategic disadvantage cannot be reversed by a new weapon. Moreover, after the orcs besieged his regiment on Hill 503, he did not dare to call for the ultra-long-range support of the planetary cannon. The firepower of this thing is indeed very strong, but it also has the problem of all cannons, that is, the accuracy is a bit miserable. If it is bombing an enemy-occupied area, it is naturally nothing, but now his regiment is surrounded by green-skinned orcs. If he calls for the planetary cannon in this situation, it is no different from shouting "Fire at me".

"It will take three days for the nearest regiment to reach our position," Morberle introduced the current situation of the troops to several company commanders on the military map. "We fought too smoothly some time ago, making our current position too prominent. It takes three full days for our nearest brother troops to reach our position. So we will face a difficult battle in the next few days. Of course, you don't have to be pessimistic. Unlike those green-skinned orcs," Morberle pointed to the top of his head and said, "We have people above us."
