Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!
Chapter 344 05.0343: ‘Operation behind enemy lines (Part 1)’
A new batch of Astra Militarum reserves rushed into the pass in Chimera infantry fighting vehicles and arrived at the front line where the battle was intense and tragic, replacing the damaged mechanized line privates and some heavy dragoons.
They were the grenadiers from the 88th Infantry Regiment "Connaught Assault Regiment" and the Highland Assault Company of the 42nd Highland Guard Regiment, the "anvil" responsible for guarding the flank and rear of the First Brigade.
The Hyberian Britons (Irish) wearing top hats and the Highland Britons (Scottish) wearing black berets and strange dark green plaid skirts launched a devastating offensive against the rebel front line under the music of "Highland British Warriors" played by the bagpipers on the battlefield.
This joint assault force was Sir Wellesley's trump card.
Just looking at these tall and mighty men who were not afraid of sacrifice, the scene of them rushing towards them with great momentum was enough to make ordinary people's hair stand on end.
Especially those short-skirted tough guys from the 42nd Highland Guards.
They are not only solid anvils that are good at defense, but also fierce hammers that are good at breaking through the front line.
Even the bagpipers of their troops are not afraid of the flying bullets on the battlefield. They puff their cheeks calmly, play bagpipe music on the battlefield, and even rush to the front.
The Highland warriors following behind the bagpipers have terrifying indigo stripes in the cultural tradition of Highland Britain on their faces, which form a sharp contrast with the elegant and decent red British military uniforms and the strange plaid skirts on their lower body.
They hold sharp broadswords, demolition axes and grenades, and mercilessly chop the enemy into flying human fragments. After charging and slashing, they are covered in blood like terrible ghosts rushing out of hell.
From a distance, they look indigo and red, and they make deafening and rough war roars in battle.
The roar actually caused a serious shock to the morale of the rebel team that was attacked by them, and then they fled. This rare and shocking dramatic scene attracted applause from the noble ladies who were tasting delicious pudding.
Horatio, who was in the dark vision, had no time to pay attention to the front battlefield. He was closely watching the several infiltration troops he was responsible for on the war sand table.
As the holder of the hand of command, he had a unique advantage over others in the dark vision.
He could adjust the perspective of the battlefield at will through the manipulation of his fingertips, shrink it into a strategic battlefield covered with military cards, or enlarge it to watch the specific battle scenes of each class and each person from a 360-degree perspective, covering everything.
If necessary, the hand of command can also be used in small-scale tactical operations to plan the specific combat positions of the soldiers.
This familiar sense of operation reminded Horatio of "War Game: Red Dragon" and "Advance Order" played in his previous life.
[Tsk, I don't know if the new DLC Northern Army Group that lazy dog Eugen has been working on for so long has been updated. ] Thinking of this, he felt a little nostalgic, and suddenly thought of it.
Horatio took a deep breath, put his thoughts back to the sand table, and stared at the team's progress and the field of vision they explored.
The front line was in full swing, with bullets flying and shouts of killing everywhere, but the surrounding area of the infiltration and reconnaissance team was in stark contrast.
Everyone carefully followed the patrol route planned by Horatio to advance and scout. Along the way,
they had seen several positions destroyed by death direct missiles.
The artillery on the entire position was baked into a greasy black and gray, and the ground was covered with charred fragments. They were artillery operators who were carbonized by the thermal shock wave of the explosion.
There were indeed positions in the several locations marked by Louise that had been scouted, but they had all been destroyed.
The reconnaissance team began to move towards the slope that Louise specifically mentioned. Everyone once again entered a tall economic crop bush. These sturdy crops that looked like green onions and were two people tall were enough to cover the traces of the scouts.
Although the reconnaissance team relied on the tall economic crop bushes to get cover, no one knew what was behind the cover. However, Horatio, who could directly see the terrain and topography, could ensure that the reconnaissance team would not go astray.
With the help of a bird's-eye view, Horatio could quickly discover the enemy situation, but this was also based on the condition that the unit had a view of the target.
There was only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing the animals around, and even the breathing sound was almost non-existent.
However, Leidos suddenly raised his hand and signaled the people next to him to stop moving forward.
Captain Sharp immediately stopped his steps. After looking around, the rough man set his eyes on his feet.
Above the black leather shoes, a silver thread reflecting a faint light was particularly conspicuous against the background of the dark upper.
"S-3 tripwire mine." The rough officer slowly squatted down, put the bayonet and tactical knife together to form a demolition scissors, and cut the silver wire gently.
This is a danger that the war sand table cannot warn, and can only rely on experienced soldiers to discover and deal with it themselves.
Everyone perked up, and the look under the mask was solemn, with a hint of excitement.
This mine is an S-type jumping mine commonly used by the Astra Militarum. As long as the fuse is tripped, an anti-infantry mine will jump out of the soil and explode in the air at a height of about three feet, using air-blast fragments to pose a terrible and deadly threat to lightly armored infantry within a range of fifty yards.
But this also means that there must be a high-value target nearby that the rebels need to protect, otherwise no one would casually mine in the farmland.
The Hell Snipers turned on the trap search devices on their helmets one after another. Under the positioning of the photosensitive reflection wave, the silver threads were very conspicuous.
The assault-type heavy power armor was designed for engineering support scouts from the beginning, and it came with many engineering components, so it was not difficult to remove landmines.
In about five minutes, a safe road was cleared, and the 27 jumping mine detonators were quietly removed without causing any movement.
Not long after advancing forward, they heard shouting.
"Pay attention! Those Corpse King lackeys will soon call for air strikes from the Imperial Navy after their attacks are frustrated.
In order to avoid accidental injuries, they dare not use carpet bombing and can only provide fire support close to the ground. This time, shoot them all down!"
"Ammunition! Bring a few more boxes over!"
"Detective, debug the anti-aircraft radar!"
"Remember, if you can't shoot them down this time, the first group in the blood pit duel tonight will be your anti-aircraft detection group!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Ledos, who was hiding in the crops, used the reconnaissance eyepiece to see the trapezoidal anti-aircraft positions not far away. All the information he witnessed was immediately noticed by Horatio.
Horatio locked the enemy's gun position, zoomed the lens to the limit, and saw the situation of this position as if he was there.
In front of him were four scattered and separately arranged towed Hydra anti-aircraft guns, and two mobile defense self-propelled Hydra anti-aircraft guns.
Behind the trapezoidal Hydra position is the Earthshaker position, where artillerymen are prying open ammunition boxes one by one, which contain air-blast and high-explosive ammunition for anti-aircraft use.
As Louise expected, there is another small group of people setting up an air-searching divination radar on the top of the small slope.
The long and thick pipeline is dragged from the air-searching divination radar device all the way to the integrated fire support position.
Then it branches off at one place, one connected to the display and control console of the Hydra anti-aircraft artillery position, and the other connected to the display and control console of the Earthshaker position.
The principle is to capture and locate the aircraft's position and speed through the air-searching divination radar, and then send the parameters to the display and control console, and the thinker on the display and control console calculates the locking lead time.
The cooperation of the two is a terrible threat to any target flying in the sky. It can change the hit rate of anti-aircraft artillery against near-ground aircraft from nine out of ten to nine out of ten.
These equipments that are still being debugged and installed were just pulled from the former Astra Militarum warehouse on this planet. It is obvious that the rebels stationed on Mount Montachia have played their last trump card.
"Captain Sharpe, let the riflemen leave a squad here to guard the artillery position, and the other squad and the Hell Snipers occupy the hillside first to destroy the enemy's anti-aircraft radar!"
