Chapter 122 Battle of Brimstone Star

"Sir Admiral, do we need to execute an extermination order on Brimstone Star?"

Speyer fell into deep thought as he looked at the gray planet in front of him. This planet contained the minerals needed by the empire, and this planet was also very suitable as a frontline headquarters for the attack on Sekaran's home planet.

"Admiral, leave it to us."

20 space warriors wearing yellow mk2 expeditionary power armor walked up to Speyer and said.

"Several siege regiments from Krieg will cooperate with you. After our orbital bombardment is completed, you will conduct a landing operation."

That's right, what Admiral Speyer is facing is none other than the Seventh Legion of the Empire, the Imperial Fists.

The armor appearance of the Imperial Fists has never changed since the founding of the group. It has always been yellow armor with red or black decorations. The Chapter's emblem is a clenched black fist on a white or yellow background.

Their recruitment method is different from other Space Marine legions. The Imperial Fists often adopt a voluntary principle, recruiting volunteers on Holy Terra, subordinate planets, and planets where outposts have been established.

The Primarch Rogal Dorn once said, "I want free men, not slaves.

The basic structure of the Chapter's culture is derived from the Junker code of conduct of Terra's ancient Prussian culture.

This code of conduct requires meticulous attention to detail in both military matters and personal behavior.

The deepest impression of the entire legion on outsiders is that of seriousness and unsmilingness. Therefore, the Imperial Fists also received the nickname "Stone Men" during the Great Holy War.

These 20 Space Marines were recently added, along with several new Krieg siege regiments.

"Start orbital bombardment, all units prepare for landing!"

The battleships in the sky began to unleash artillery fire on the enemies on the ground, and one macro-cannonball as big as a building was fired at the ground one after another.

The power of these shells was enough to tear apart the planet's continental shelf, and the enemies hiding in the bunker were not spared. They were either directly killed by the shock wave, or were buried alive because the bunker collapsed.

Those who had not hidden on the ground were directly burned to ashes, and for a while the entire planet was filled with wailing.

"The enemy must have relaxed their vigilance at this time! Push out the surviving anti-aircraft guns quickly! Everyone who is still alive should go to their posts immediately!"

The officer responsible for the defense of this planet hurriedly began to give orders, but unfortunately he underestimated Speyer's patience. He wanted to minimize casualties.

The second wave of bombing came, and hundreds of Predator bombers began to prepare for the bombing in neat formation.

The Predator bomber is the standard Imperial Navy heavy bomber capable of operating in space and the atmosphere.

She is used in many missions, but she is particularly good at air interception.

Within its heavily armored superstructure is a bomb bay that can hold up to 6000 pounds of explosives.

When fully loaded, she can carry 12 bombs or 6 heavy bombs, and the four wing pylons allow her to carry an additional 12 bombs.

She is equipped with twin laser cannons on the nose to increase firepower, and two twin heavy blasters, one on the tail and one on the top of the fuselage, as defensive weapons.

In addition to conventional bombs, the internal bomb bay may also contain two Hellstorm bombs, large incendiary bombs that can turn an area into hell.

Regarding the issue of bomb load, most Predator bombers use melta bombs or nuclear weapons, so their destructive power is naturally much stronger than ordinary bombers.

"Blow the aliens back to grandma's house!!"

With the driver's roar, a grand bombing banquet began.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!......"

Melta bombs were thrown down one after another, and along with the melt were large-yield hydrogen bombs.

These hundreds of bombers were all modified by Star Wars officers. Isn’t it funny that such fast-flying bricks can only carry so little bombs?

After much fiasco by the Adeptus Mechanicus, these hundreds of Predator bombers were finally approved for modification.

As mushroom clouds rise one after another, the bombing is completely over. Next, with the cooperation of air power, the Krieg Death Corps will conduct a landing operation.

"The enemy's tunnels extend in all directions. There must be places that have not been bombed by us. It is very likely that there are still surviving enemies there, and we may suffer huge losses."

"But to fight for the Emperor, the Death Legion will pay any price."

Marshal Sekem of the Krieg 168th Siege Regiment walked onto the battlefield in uniform holding a power sword. At this time, the entire ground had been bombed beyond recognition. The leggings of the Krieg soldiers stepped through the muddy ground and arrived. Several locations of the enemy were identified.

The entire operation was almost silent except for the roar of armored vehicles and the sound of regular footsteps. The entire war was eerily silent.

Five Pluto breakthrough drilling rigs started taking action, and the collapsed cement wall was knocked open by the drilling rigs.

"Enter"

A simple command sounded, and dozens of Krieg infantry teams entered the tunnel.

A standard Krieg infantry squad consists of a captain and nine soldiers, with the oldest sergeant appointed as his deputy.

In addition to the standard laser gun and communication equipment, the highlights of the Krieg infantry squad's equipment are their sapper shovels and grenades.

The engineer shovel is a prop used by Krieg soldiers to quickly construct position trenches, while professional excavation equipment such as pickaxes will be handed over to soldiers who are responsible for position fortifications.

Secondly, each Krieg soldier will be equipped with a fragmentation grenade and an anti-armor grenade. Once an offensive breakthrough is to be carried out, he will be equipped with more grenades. This tactical configuration is very similar to the "infiltration tactics" in World War I. , including the famous Storm Troopers, who will use a large number of grenades to destroy enemy strongholds and fortifications during trench breakthroughs.

When appropriate, Krieg squads will also field support weapons for combat, such as melta guns, grenade launchers, and flamethrowers.

Krieger soldiers armed with Lucius 98 laser guns entered the tunnel. The narrow and dark tunnel is suitable for enemy ambush, but Krieger will try to avoid this.

"Several entrances to the enemy's underground fortresses have collapsed due to bombing. Our engineering troops are conducting sweeps through predetermined locations, preparing for bombardment operations at several locations we have determined, and transforming the identified safe areas into our fortress"

Legion Marshal Secum looked at the map of enemy fortifications in front of him and began to command. Although Krieg was silent all year round, he could still speak at critical moments. It was just the long-term atonement emotion that enveloped their hearts, even though the Emperor had already explained that their sins had long been over. Pay off.
