Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 341 05.0340: ‘War game constructed of blood and flesh’

The riflemen immediately knelt down and hid. A rifleman on the side of the road lay down and looked around. Then he patted his captain on the shoulder and pointed to the other side of the road.

It was he who saw the front of the car, allowing Horatio to obtain the impending situation of the enemy convoy without delay.

After a while, Leidos led his Hell's Spearhead detachment and followed Horatio's markings and rushed to the riflemen.

Three trucks loaded with rebel artillery were towing the Macrocannon at the rear. Based on the direction of travel, it seemed that they were preparing to ambush the armored weak points of the Astra Militarum on the sides of the battlefield.

There were three trucks following behind, which should be ammunition transport trucks, with 120mm heavy mortars also towed at the rear.

This firepower poses a significant threat to the Astra Militarum's frontline infantry and armor.

Taking advantage of the blind spot of the hedgerow, Horatio commanded Ledos's detachment to rush across the road in advance by relying on pulleys.

Rush to the other side and form a flanking angle with the riflemen.

Wow!

Just as Horatio predicted, the Hell's Troopers relied on their blind spots to rush across the road before the truck passed by without being discovered by the rebel convoy.

"Hold still and wait for me to give the attack command. At that time, a red outline will flash around the target."

Everyone held the gun in their hands tightly and opened the safety. Some people also took out grenades, and the special weapons shooters were ready with melta rifles and logging guns.

This was all decided by the group units without Horatio's personal intervention. They knew exactly how to deal with these light transport and supply trucks.

Everyone held their breath.

The sound of the truck's engine running closer and closer.

When the first truck passed the ambush angle, everyone saw the red mark traced on the outline of the truck.

Horatio only marked the outlines of three cars, the head, middle, and tail.

As agreed in advance, everyone aimed at the three outlined trucks and prepared to unleash firepower.

"Fire!" Captain Sharp shouted to the men next to him.

The lumberjack gunman opened fire first, with dense bullets shooting through the driver's window. Blood spattered on the cracked perforated glass, smearing an ominous shadow.

Unprepared exclamations and chaotic noises came from the hood at the back of the truck. Countless high-energy lasers were fired at the upper half of the car, which was only covered with a rainproof tarpaulin. Those near the rear of the truck hurriedly exited the car. He jumped down, mostly because the truck that was still moving made a show of eating shit, and fell flat on his face to the ground.

Before these lucky ones could get up, the riflemen hiding in the hedges shot away their Tianling Caps.

The front and rear of the convoy were attacked and paralyzed, and the truck in the middle was immediately stuck, unable to advance or retreat.

Without Horatio's personal orders, these well-trained soldiers took care of the trucks with nowhere to escape.

The huge leakage from the destroyed truck was ignited, crackling and burning, but the riflemen still captured a relatively intact truck and the accompanying ammunition and heavy weapons.

Perhaps these trophies will help them in subsequent battles. After all, these light infantrymen who go deep behind enemy lines do lack heavy fire cover except for special weapons and rifles.

Now with these heavy firepower and easy-to-travel trucks, it is much more cost-effective to find and attack enemy artillery positions.

After such a test, Horatio roughly understood how to use the War Sandbox skill and the differences from the Hand of Command.

Its operation is the same as the basic function of the command hand. He can directly send arrow signals to the team with command and staff rights, direct them to move in the coordinate direction, and mark the enemy.

Similarly, this kind of command and control is not an absolute agreement control like the priests of the Mechanicum on the servitors. After receiving the order, the frontline officers and soldiers can still decide the process on their own and use their subjective initiative to carry out tactical planning. There is no need to let Huo Huo In the game "Lei Portrait", it is just as troublesome to take care of the mentally retarded AI as a nanny.

But unlike the detailed command of the commanding hand, on the war sandbox, he could not assign specific combat positions to each soldier, and there was no virtual projection of portraits.

Only the soldiers and their commanders can decide for themselves how to go to the location marked by him, and decide on their own battle formations and engagement strategies, giving full play to the subjective initiative of professional soldiers.

In short, Hand of Command is a skill suitable for small-scale precision combat, just like the Company of Heroes series and Men of War series games he played in his previous life.

The war sandbox does not have overly detailed command and micro-management. It is more like a strategy sandbox presented in the graphics of Soldiers and War Games: Red Dragon.

The bigger difference is that the field of vision of the commanding hand can only be seen by him alone, while the war sandbox can be imported into the holographic sandbox to present the sandbox scene he sees to the commanders nearby.

This means that so many people can coordinate and command frontline combat units at the same time, relying on the time difference in information transmission to gain the initiative compared with the enemy.

The front line of the pass was filled with bullets.

"Damn it! The Corpse King's lackeys are coming! They're as clingy as stinky dog ​​shit!"

"Glory to the Blood God! Kill them all! Hack these bastards to death! Offer your skulls! Followers of the false emperor!"

"The artillery is turning! Cover us! It's the Pyro! The Pyro! Ahhhhhhh!!!

"Don't take a step back! Hold the fort! Don't shame the true god! Come back to me!"

"Dragoons! Take cover! Right! Right!"

‘Spread out! Suppress the firing point on the upper right! ”

“I threw a grenade! Watch out for the explosion!”

“Take no prisoners! Attack! Attack! Take that bunker!”

“Look! Red highlighted outline! It’s a cannon! The muzzle of the bunker! Have the armored troops watch the flank!”

“Turn that bunker into ruins!”

“Royal Engineer Demolition Team! Go! Blow it up!”

“Medic! Medic! My leg! Hey, listen! Damn it!”

“Don’t stop! Keep attacking! Kill! For the Emperor, the Queen, and the Empire! ‘

“For the Emperor, the Queen and the Empire!!!

After entering the pass, all armored vehicles slowed down. Facing the crossfire points of the two hills, the offensive of the Astra Militarum encountered the strongest wave of resistance, and the intensity of the battle in the entire battle also reached its peak.

Everyone was doing their best, fighting for their beliefs and survival, with only one thought in their minds, to kill the enemy before the enemy killed them.

The bloody breath broke out the moment the Astra Militarum rushed into the pass, and the red tide of the charge spread more and more throughout the Montachia Pass.

Amid the shouts of the soldiers charging, the bagpipe music of the military band in the rear began to sound from the radio station on the Chimera vehicle array.

Horatio listened for a while and felt that the tune was like "Blue Velvet Hats on the Border", a famous bagpipe song for the entire British army in history.

The red-coated soldiers launched a desperate charge towards the rebel positions in the melodious bagpipe music. They firmly believed that the sound of the flute floating in the wind would bring the souls of the dead back to their hometowns, and return to the golden throne and the embrace of the God-Emperor.

Blocking the two sides of the Astra Militarum soldiers were two high mountains and hills.

These forts built on the mountains facing the road had a smaller frontal projection from the perspective of the Astra Militarum artillery, so the bombardment efficiency was poor.

Many artillery forts in the middle were not hit. Fortunately, Horatio carried out a carpet bombing from high altitude to the ground before the Astra Militarum attacked. Only then did some of the forts collapse and become damaged, weakening the light and heavy firepower directed at the Astra Militarum.

But the soldiers still had a hard time. There was no place to hide on the road of advancement. The positions of some forts and firepower points even exceeded the maximum elevation angle of the Leman Russ tanks.

However, Sir Wellesley discovered this from the report sent by the reconnaissance troops before the attack.

Therefore, he transferred two self-propelled Hydra anti-aircraft guns from the artillery company to accompany the attack.

These extremely fast-firing quadruple-mounted machine gun tanks have excellent frontal armor, and the four automatic guns allow Astra Militarum commanders to often use them for tasks other than air defense - fire support vehicles.

Puff puff puff!

Under the wash of the adamantium shells, the gravel of the mountain collapsed like rain. Many enemy light weapons firepower The points were either torn apart by the rain of refined gold fire or smashed by the broken gravel.

But the dark bunker shooting points that were constantly firing also caused a sharp increase in casualties among the frontal attacking forces of the Star Army.

Many people were hit by bullets shot from above without any preparation. When the assault troops climbed up the hill and tried to blast the bream bunker, they were hit by the dark bunker on the hill behind them and screamed and fell down the hillside.

On the front road, the enemy chose to drive the heavy agricultural machinery vehicles and heavy trucks modified armored forces of the agricultural world and were heading towards the Star Army.

It is not optimistic to achieve the goal of breaking through the situation with light casualties, unless there is some unexpected special support to break the chaos on the battlefield and clarify the command.
