The Emperor’s Angel of Death

After seizing the southern entrance of the fortress, Armin found that the entire outer area of ​​the fortress had become a ruin during the previous siege.

Although many outlying outposts are still intact, the soldiers guarding the outposts have disappeared. According to statistics, the number of surviving residents in the fortress is approximately 190,000, of which less than 50,000 are able to pick up guns and possess certain combat capabilities.

Then Almin met with the lord of Explorer Fortress No. 6 and informed the subsequent evacuation plan, but it was clear that the enemy would not abandon the attack plan, because the high guard tower had already observed signs of enemy assembly.

Its scale is even much larger than the previous attacks.

There is no doubt that the Black Legion has figured out the number of imperial reinforcements and intends to increase its bargaining chips.

Naturally, Almin would not sit and wait. The task brief stated clearly that they should stay where they are until everyone evacuates and call for reinforcements if necessary.

Then he took over the command of the fortress and began to arrange the work of mortal troops capable of combat, reconnaissance the terrain, and pick up heavy weapons from abandoned enemy positions.

And he set up the headquarters on the second tallest stargazer tower in the fort, so that he could observe the terrain at any time and build proper fortifications.

He personally prefers layered defense. Fortress No. 6 was established for nearly 400 years. The area where colonists lived in the first two hundred years was called the old city, and the area that expanded with the increase in population was called the new city. The new city is three times larger than the old city. The outer defensive circle encompasses the entire new city area, while the inner defensive circle is only concentrated in the fortress old city.

"At present, our existing strength can only hold half of the outer circle."

The non-commissioned officers of the Tenth Company formed a circle and divided the defense zones with rough maps.

"Naturally, we will point our defensive deployment to the south, because the enemy will most likely use the most direct method-at least initially."

Armin used a dagger to click on the southern entrance that had just been recaptured on the map.

"Laser cannons and heavy logging guns are arranged on the roofs here, here and here."

Then he pointed to a series of buildings on the outer edge of the area, so that the fire blockade of the main attack direction was achieved.

"The primary task of the laser cannon is to destroy as many vehicles as possible and suppress the enemy's counterattack. At least five thousand people will be arranged in a large arc formation that will cover all routes entering from the south, and a small team must be left for rapid reinforcement at any time. weakness."

Then he stopped, studying the map thoughtfully.

"As the battle continues, it can be expected that they will conduct tentative offensives on our flanks, looking for areas that are not so tightly guarded. We must remain flexible and be ready to adjust the deployment of troops at any time, and retreat to the inside if necessary."

"Then why don't we just withdraw to the inside line?"

Homo is talking.

Almin shook his head and replied softly:

"Because our task is to cover the evacuation of residents, and now—"

He raised his head and looked out the window. Several floating barges were taking off shaky.

"Five ships at a time can only carry 3,000 people. It takes at least 2 hours to go back and forth. We can only evacuate 30,000 people in 10 hours. Let’s say there are only 180,000 people here. We have to hold on for at least 60 hours. Abandon the peripheral areas that are not easy to defend, then we may hardly have 60 hours."

"Availability is also an issue."

Robin then pointed out something he had thought about for a long time.

"After a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers have little ammunition reserves. When will the airdrop support arrive?"

"The airdrop will arrive in about two hours."

Then Almin raised a hand.

"And don’t be so pessimistic. We also have many advantages in other areas. First, we have an orbital advantage, so the enemy cannot take out their heavy weapons against us without risking being bombed by orbit. Therefore, they cannot use long-range weapons. Artillery bombards us. On the contrary, in order to avoid orbital strikes, they must go deep into the front to clean up us. This makes their operations more difficult. Second, if our ammunition supply is a little bit problematic, the enemy’s problem will only be greater. They are on this planet. They are isolated and helpless. Attica has been bombarded by orbital bombing once and cannot provide them with any material support."

He glanced firmly at all the non-commissioned officers.

"This will not be a protracted siege. The enemy only has the resources to maintain a fierce battle for one or two days, and then either we evacuated all the residents or they retreated without enough ammunition."

"clear!"

Afterwards, everyone started busy preparations.

One hour later, the atmosphere began to tense, and as time passed, the sound of small transport aircraft and floating barges descending through the cloudy sky became more and more frequent.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning the next day, everyone heard a faint crackling of light weapons from somewhere in the distance.

The Astartes did not know if any sentinels managed to survive a desperate resistance.

However, the sound of the battle gradually weakened within a few minutes, and an uncomfortable silence came again.

Four hours after dawn, the roar of engines in the sky flew northward, UU reading www. Observers of uukanshu.com reported that a small convoy of armored personnel carriers was advancing towards the northern periphery at high speed, but was subsequently destroyed by Thunderhawks and Storm Crows.

But Armin knew that the enemy had an extensive transportation network underground and did not entirely rely on ground activities.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the observers to send a message from the other end of the command network that a large number of armored vehicles were coming from the south. They appeared without warning, apparently from an underground passage.

Armin responded calmly and ordered all mortal troops to prepare their weapons.

Twenty minutes later, the roar of the armored column reverberated on the ground, and the roar got closer and closer with the passage of time, and billowing exhaust gas drifted from the middle of the cabin to the south.

Then, the gunners facing the advancing enemy started shouting out what they saw: three columns of simple tanks and armored personnel carriers converted from tractors.

Almin accepted the news calmly.

"In artillery positions, aim at the tanks first, and wait for the enemy to enter the effective killing range before firing."

As the armored column quickly approached, the laser cannon and the automatic gun fired almost simultaneously, and a bright red beam shot down the narrow road, hitting the vehicle head-on.

One of them exploded directly, the other lost a track and stopped, and the third tank continued to advance, with a scratch on the side of the turret.

Subsequently, its main gun raised and fired a high-explosive shell.

The shell flew over the position and hit a statue on the north side of the area.

The artillery continued to fire, firing beams of beams and rounds of ammunition at the tank. With Astarte behind, everyone's morale was very high.

Soon, the last three tanks were all destroyed.
