Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Because the environment is so bad, the order from the headquarters is clear - do everything possible to contact the defense forces scattered around the planet, even if there is one more person, all troops must gather at the Wilderness Gate after receiving the order , by gathering the scattered forces, there may be a chance to hold on to this last fortress. Holding this fortress is tantamount to guarding the last line of defense of the Golden Field Star, guarding massive materials and precious space ports, and at the same time guarding the war situation in the Far East.

It's a big gamble.

Captain Cutler and Private Tiger moved very quickly. After leaving the camp, they relied on the map to quickly determine the direction of advancement. After climbing another hill, they should be able to make contact with the Alfalfa Leaf Mixed Army, the primary target of this operation.

"I hope they are intact." Captain Cutler walked in front, and his sensitive ears were the most valuable weapon to rely on. In some cases, it's even more useful than the telescope he has.

But his gradually frowning eyebrows did not escape Tiger's eyes, and things probably did not develop as Captain Cutler hoped.

In fact, Tiger had vaguely heard something - the faint roar of artillery fire in the distance said it all. It is clear that there is a battle ahead, and the two sides of the battle are self-evident.

"Captain, we should rush to support!" Tiger said loudly.

"It is very dangerous to continue moving forward." Cutler stopped here and looked back at Tiger: "We are close to the front line here. We should wait here for the end of the battle."

Tiger opened his eyes wide and looked back at him in disbelief: "Are we going to wait here?"

"No one knows how many people the Spirit Tribe has invested and what the battle situation ahead is like. Whether our troops have an advantage or a disadvantage, whether they are surrounding the opponent or being surrounded by the opponent. If we continue to move forward, we are likely to encounter the Spirit Tribe. Our tribe’s troops have no advantage at all with our current equipment.”

Not only did they have no advantage, a whole group of elite soldiers just met the Eldar patrols in the jungle. After a lot of death, only two of them were still able to fight. Now in this situation, once they encounter the Eldar patrols, team, then there is almost no other choice but to be destroyed, but this cannot be a reason to stop moving forward, Tiger argued: "But ahead are our comrades, who are fighting bravely against the enemies of the empire."

"Our mission is to clean the battlefield, find survivors, rescue the seriously injured, and notify them to assemble at the Gate of the Wilderness." Cutler lowered his head so that Tiger could not clearly see his expression at this time, but his words were firm. Incomparable.

"Private Tiger, I order you to wait here! Until this war is over."

"But……"

"No but, this is an order!"

Cutler gritted his teeth, turned around, and began to check his weapons. The captain was never willing to issue such an order - he was always a soldier, and as a soldier, he wanted to fight the enemy on the front line and bring the empire to its knees. The enemies of the God-Emperor were torn to pieces. But now, he is burdened with another important mission and is fighting in a completely different way.

The defense force of the Golden Field Star had already been crippled by the sudden attack of the Eldar people. Under the interference of the Eldar people's spiritual abilities, the radio communication equipment was almost completely paralyzed, the wires were cut off, and the entire planet was divided piece by piece by the Eldar people. Come, it is extremely inconvenient to convey information. So until now, no one in the headquarters can determine the number of the Spirit Race people, or even where they are. The Eldar people blinded and deafened the defense forces in an instant. Now the defense forces can only use the most primitive methods to transmit information.

Judging from the current situation that most of the troops cannot be contacted, it is obvious that the war situation is not optimistic.

Although Captain Cutler did not know the specific situation on the front line, based on their current mission, he could also deduce that it was obviously a very bad situation. Because the headquarters has obviously planned to abandon most of the fortresses and strongholds, shrink its troops, and use the Gate of the Wilderness as the last line of defense.

Cutler no longer knows the consequences of the breach of the Wilderness Gate - therefore, he fully understands how heavy the task and mission he is currently shouldering is.

"Captain, please at least let me find a place to watch the battle." Tiger gave Cutler a military salute and added the reason: "At least we can determine the battle situation and find a safe retreat route in advance. In addition, we can explore the combat effectiveness and number of the Eldar people. ”

Captain Cutler hesitated for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, Tiger, but we have to be careful not to get too close, and you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you will not be impulsive."

They set off immediately, and as the sounds of the battlefield became clearer and clearer, they understood that they were approaching the danger zone.

"Go to that peak." Cutler pointed to the towering peak ahead and waved to Tiger, "You should be able to overlook the entire battle there."

After climbing the mountain, the two men lay prone behind a rock and looked towards the battlefield.

In that extremely distant yet extremely close battlefield, the battle situation was overwhelming—for the Imperial Army, it was overwhelmingly unfavorable. Now that most of the main legions are scattered, the Clover Leaf Mixed Legion is the largest defense legion on the Golden Field Star. They number at least 50,000 people, including artillery, infantry, armor, and a large number of Mechanical slaves and mechanical priests - as a marine legion, they can naturally cope with most situations.

But it is obvious that the current situation is that minority.

The Eldar - those terrifying enemies hiding in the Ark World, drifting around in the vast sea of ​​the universe, giving the Empire a headache, they are handsome and powerful, and each individual has the strength to easily kill two or three Imperial Defense Soldiers. And when this single power is combined, it is an irresistible storm.

The Imperial Defense Soldiers cannot be said to be brave, but under the powerful firepower suppression of the Eldar holding the Star Dart Throwing Gun, even if they slightly stick their heads out of the trench, they may be beheaded.

But even so, they have never been afraid. The soldiers of the Empire roared and prayed for the protection of His Majesty the Emperor. They kept fighting back in the trenches one by one. No one retreated. Occasionally, a Chimera transporter would suddenly rush to the front line to provide cover for the precarious defense line. At the same time, relying on the armor of the car body, they resisted the firepower of the Eldar while launching a fierce counterattack against the Eldar on the other side of the battlefield.

The Eldar were not immortal. They suffered casualties under the fierce counterattack of the defense army. But whenever the defense army withstood the firepower of the Eldar and prepared to counterattack, the Screaming Banshees among the Eldar would suddenly appear. These terrible Eldar people, wearing hideous masks, suddenly rushed to the battlefield, holding two knives that could cut iron like mud and pounced on the defense warriors. Under their howling, the loyal warriors of the empire were so vulnerable. The attack of infrasound waves was almost impossible to prevent. Soldiers within a circle with a radius of ten meters, centered on the Screaming Banshees, would be affected by such a terrifying attack. The defense army was just ordinary people. Once they were attacked by infrasound waves without any defense, they would lose their combat effectiveness. Not only would they lose their balance, they would even lose their weapons.

How could such people fight? In front of the Screaming Banshees, they were just lambs to be slaughtered.

The Screaming Banshees would take light steps and leisurely leap into their midst. After a scream, the queen would use the two knives in her hands to easily and comfortably harvest their lives. The movements were as graceful as dancing, and the screams of the imperial soldiers, the flowing blood, and the cut pieces of meat on the ground were applause for these dancers.

The infantry and armored troops of the Cloverleaf Mixed Corps maintained coordination, and with the cooperation of the Leman Ras main battle tanks and the Chimera armored personnel carriers, they barely maintained the front line. Several attempts to launch a counterattack were completely defeated. Now the commander of the Cloverleaf Corps can only pin his hopes on the artillery units behind him. Only the artillery units can aim their guns at the enemy's positions without pressure and pour out the shells, without even aiming - anyway, the number of the Eldar is so large that they can always hit people.

Only these cannons can be considered a threat to the Eldar, but unfortunately, the number of artillery corps is limited, and the ammunition is also limited. Not only that, their movement is so slow and sluggish that as long as the Eldar's charge is not blocked by the infantry and armored soldiers in front, these artillery can only be slaughtered.

"God Emperor," looking at the chaotic battlefield, Tiger muttered: "Please bless us!"

From a high place, the Cloverleaf Legion is already in an absolute disadvantage. The Eldar army has formed a star-shaped crescent, forming a semi-encirclement, squeezing the Cloverleaf Legion from three sides, bringing them pressure. I believe that it will not be long before the Cloverleaf Legion will be crushed by the Eldar like a grape.

The defeat of the Cloverleaf is a matter of time. The commanders of the two warring parties and the onlookers on the mountain are very clear about this. The Imperial Army can't see any hope of victory. Whether in quantity or quality, the Cloverleaf Legion is inferior to the opponent's army. How can such a battle be fought?

They can only look forward to reinforcements or the rescue of the God Emperor.

The Eldar people shouted the name of the God of War Cain fanatically, and then launched an attack again. This time, several tall figures appeared on the battlefield. Three tall warriors with smooth lines and exquisite workmanship appeared on the battlefield. These white warriors stood tall, and their height alone was as high as two floors. These warriors made by the Eldar craftsmen reflected a beautiful smoothness under the sunlight. They strode on the battlefield with their heads held high, with a terrifying determination, but these huge warriors walked without a sound, with a silence like a tomb.
