Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Whoosh!

boom!

The spinning cannonball penetrated the air and passed over the slowly advancing Astra Militarum battle line from a high place. The sharp wind howl resounded throughout the battlefield and smashed into the enemies of the God-Emperor.

According to the time written on the parchment.

The British artillery fired their cannons and fired waves of artillery fire to cover the charge of infantry on the line on the field.

A row of curtain-like artillery shells fell in front of the enemy's trench, including high-explosive bombs and smoke bombs.

The thick smoke dispersed was mixed with the special interference components of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the resulting barrage built a wall of gunpowder smoke and chemical smoke in front of the enemy's position that was difficult to see through using any technological means.

The Xu Jin barrage in infantry and artillery coordination is a difficult tactic, which tests the training of the troops and the command and coordination of the officers on both sides.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the infantry will not rush to the designated position after the artillery bombardment, or the infantry will rush to the designated position, but the artillery bombardment will not suppress the enemy position.

The occurrence of any of the above situations is likely to result in higher casualties for the infantry unit.

The worst case scenario is that the infantry rushes to the bombardment point in advance, and is exposed to a hail of bullets from the opponent and an indiscriminate bombardment from their own people.

The officers worked hard to control the rhythm of the attack and maintained a safe distance of about 50 meters from the Xu Jin barrage that gradually extended deep into the enemy's defensive positions.

The Leman Russ tanks, which were ordered to cooperate with the line infantry, also began to slow down.

Mixed in among the infantry, the Royal Engineers wearing sturdy armor passed over their comrades and rushed to the minefield in front of the position under the cover of the smoke and chemical smoke raised by the barrage. They took out their tool kits and began to clear mines and obstacles. The surrounding infantrymen and tanks were responsible for providing cover for them.

On the battlefield, engineers will not clear the mines one by one under enemy fire. Doing so is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and also involves great risks.

They will insert brightly colored indicators on the mines, so that the infantry accompanying the attack can provide guidance and avoidance for the tanks.

Even so, a small number of Leman Russ tanks, due to various reasons, pressed against those mines in the barbed wire minefield in front of the defensive position, and their tracks were blown off.

Fortunately, there are enough Leman Russ in the first brigade. The paralyzed tank can be left in place to serve as a temporary suppression firepower point, and the repair team can reattach the tracks after the war.

The subsequent Leman Russ tanks of the third offensive echelon will replace the lost tanks of the first and second echelons and fill the battle positions.

The leading tank tracks ran over the long barbed wire fence, paving a safe path for the infantry to lead to the enemy trenches.

The offensive force was very close to the enemy's first trench, and Xu Jin's barrage had followed the slender communication trench to cover the second trench of the rebel garrison.

"Warriors of Britain! The time has come to serve the God-Emperor! Seize the trenches and kill the heretics! Charge!"

A gorgeously dressed second lieutenant platoon leader, holding a laser pistol and a power sword, took the lead, raising his arms and shouting.

The first Leman Russ tank rolled over the enemy's trench. Heavy explosive shells and laser guns were fired at various points around the vehicle body, releasing firepower like a hedgehog.

The armaments on the sides of the car body have an excellent depression angle, which makes it extremely convenient to straf the rebel infantry hiding inside when running over trenches.

This was a feature that was considered from the beginning of the design of the Leman Russ tank and was specifically added for trench warfare.

After being given a condescending beating by the Leman Russ tanks that ran over one after another from above the trench,

The rebels' nightmare has just begun.

The British line infantry and grenadiers have their own unique fighting methods:

They will accompany the armor to form a thin red line. Under the cover of the armor, the soldiers will move to a distance of about 100 meters, and then use their Brown Bess laser guns, which shoot very fast and have extremely strong output at close range, to shoot at the enemy. Ferocious firepower output, after emptying the energy block of energy, continue to advance and replace the energy block.

Finally, when you are 20 to 30 meters away from the enemy, or even closer, use the Brown Bess laser gun that has replaced the battery to deliver a burst of fatal firepower to the enemy's face. The grenadiers will then throw multiple missiles at the enemy. Powerful grenade.

They would then launch a ferocious bayonet charge, overwhelming their opponents in hand-to-hand combat.

This method of warfare made the British fearsome on the battlefield, because most of the stragglers would begin to collapse and retreat due to heavy casualties in the first two stages.

After receiving a heavy blow, those well-trained enemies will see a row of thin red lines with bright bayonets on the front, accompanied by armored tanks rushing over. This extremely oppressive visual effect is shocking and can also Easily destroy enemy morale.

Similarly, in trench warfare, the Britons' standard weapons had a higher rate of fire than the common Cattrell laser gun, and their long-term hand-to-hand combat training and familiarity with strict discipline allowed them to be more effective in hand-to-hand encounters than a mixed bag of mutinous enemies. Better at close combat.

At this moment, this classic three-stage tactic has reached the second step. Round grenades are thrown into the trench from the smoke, like ripe fruits bouncing in the ravine.

Not long after, amidst the explosions and screams, the charge of the thin red line also arrived.

When the Britons rushed to the trench, the rebels in the trench, who had been treated with heavy side fire and grenades from Leman Russ, were already dizzy. Before they could recover, they were subjected to another fierce strafing attack.

The rate of fire of the Brown Bess laser gun is about 1.5 times that of the Cattrell laser gun, and the shots are fierce and dense.

The ferocious blazing laser tore the traitor who had not yet recovered into a bloody and charred corpse.

On the trench treads, British Royal Engineers, wearing heavy carapace armor and gas masks under their tall sako hats, and wearing blue uniforms similar to those of artillerymen, pressed the button of the flamethrower into the trench.

Their bodies were on fire in the smoke, and the traitors, who looked like fierce ghosts from hell, screamed in agony, thrashed and rolled around, and soon they all fell to the ground and turned into charred corpses.

Finally, the tall grenadiers bear the brunt. They also have thick and heavy individual armor.

One after another, well-equipped red-coated infantrymen jumped from the trenches.

Using bayonets, trench sticks, and leaf-shaped knives in their hands, they unleashed violence on the rebels who were blocked in the trenches.

It was a massacre.

Many of the rebels were choked to tears by the chemical smoke from the artillery fire, and then they were hit by the dense explosion of grenades thrown in until their ears were ringing and dazzled.

Not even half a minute.

A group of people with an average height of 1.8 meters, wearing red heavy-duty carapace armor, can throw a 1-pound grenade 50 times

The muscular man jumped into the trench from his head.

He can't help but kill anyone he sees.

They only recognize the clothes but not the person. Anyone who is not wearing the same red military uniform will be killed without mercy.

In the trenches filled with white chemical smoke, the British people's conspicuous red military uniforms and black sako hats allowed them to quickly identify ourselves and the enemy. I wonder if this was the ingenuity of the designer or an unintentional trick.

"Go to hell! The zombie emperor's lackey." But not all defenders were ready to die. A short rebel grabbed a rifle with a bayonet and rushed straight towards a tall grenadier.

These usually lowly farm slaves actually gained the right to join the army after supporting the rebels in seizing control of the planet.

But the grenadier, relying on his tall and strong physique, was able to overturn the charging dwarf with one kick, just as easily as a giant carrying a goblin, and then stabbed him to the core with a backhand bayonet.

In Britain, only those tall, muscular men who could throw a 0.6-kilogram grenade 50 meters were eligible to join the grenadiers.

Faced with such a tragic battle situation, the rebels in the second trench tried to rely on communication trenches to provide reinforcements to the first trench.

But the British were clearly trained in systematic trench warfare and were well prepared for this.

The grenadiers first quickly cut down the defenders at the end of the communication trench, and then cooperated with the line soldiers who jumped in later to quickly form a human wall on both wings, and with the offensive troops jumping in from other areas, they surrounded the rebels in the trench in sections.

Next, the special weapons shooter used his Lewis-type thermal laser gun and Bren-type logging gun to block key points in the traffic trench.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Chaos Rebels' reinforcements to advance from the second line of trenches, trying to support the first line of trenches.

As soon as these chaotically armed, noisy and sloppy rebels reached the end of the corner, their bodies fell into the two corners of the special weapon shooters' gun lines without cover.

Screams and screams came from the traffic trench as the spitting firelight illuminated the wooden sidings of the trench.

But it's not over yet.

Before the enemy soldiers could take a breath, the Royal Engineers assault team threw defensive grenades forward again.

After a cloud of blood mist shot out from above the traffic trench, engineers holding bayonade-laden Lancaster submachine guns advanced forward.

The Lancaster submachine gun in hand has a very fast rate of fire, and the battery interface adopts a sideways right-angle design.

This compact weapon is ideal for traffic trenches.

In addition, the engineering troops had enough explosives, and they did not care whether there was anyone holding weapons on the other side of the traffic trench, blocking their path. A hot-melt demolition pack was grabbed by an engineer with both hands and thrown first. passed.

boom!

With a loud bang and tremors that could be felt throughout the trench, and with the sound of timber being pulled and collapsing, the Royal Engineers advanced rapidly.

The grenadiers following behind threw high-power grenades into the second trench again.

The leading engineer was cautious and nervous.

He held his breath, carefully stretched out the barrel of the gun, and then poked his eyes out from behind the corner of the traffic ditch. He only took one look and quickly turned his head back.

Although it was not comprehensive enough, the flashing scene in front of him gave him enough information. A large circular pit had been blasted out at the end of the traffic trench.

The log pillars supporting the middle section of the trench were exploded into countless splinters and charred wood chips.

Two rebel soldiers were embedded in the earth wall with their flesh and blood mangled, and dozens of bodies with bleeding bodies lying next to them.

It looked like he was killed directly by the blast wave.

After confirming safety, the Royal Engineers quickly got into position, divided into two columns and pressed against the bombed-out traffic trench, counting down the seconds for the assault.
