Chapter 157 Mark and Mocheng

I am the dignified captain of the hunters, the chief combat force on the lighthouse, and the object of admiration of countless hunters.

Now I’m going to fill in a place like this?

Mark already regretted joining this human empire. He initially thought that this so-called human empire was a peace-loving human country, but after passing the physical examination and joining the Odisius Commando Regiment, he discovered that it was really a peace-loving nation. .

From the moment I graduated, the political commissar I was assigned told me that they would fight many battles in the future and expand the territory for mankind.

Mark naturally listened to it, but what he didn't expect was this kind of play!

In a huge trench, Mark took his helmet and filled up the rainwater that had leaked in one ladle after another, and then poured it out of the trench.

I was very lucky to come to a country where the war was a little easier, but this ease was only for the human empire. A huge war of attrition was easy for the human empire, but it was not easy for Mark.

"I'm fed up with the life of squatting in trenches every day. To be honest, I want to drive a walking machine. Although it's easy to get fired, and I have to praise the machine spirit of walking machines every day after get off work, they have less trouble!"

Mo Cheng complained on the side, carrying the weapon that belonged to him on his back, an M36-"Carterel" light gun, one of the most common individual weapons in the Empire and one of the equipment of the Astra Militarum. .

Around him was a line of crossfire formed by two heavy bolters.

"Shut up, you will be in trouble if the political commissar hears it."

Mark knew the political commissar of his army and was very strict. Once he had the idea of ​​rebelling against the empire, a whipping would be considered a light punishment.

"Don't think too much. After all, we have weapons like light guns. Some ordinary planetary defense forces even only have live ammunition weapons like automatic guns. If you want to replace the light guns, you have to go to the Planetary Governor and go to the Mechanicum in person. Order and wait in line honestly.”

While Mo Cheng and Mark were chatting, a rapid whistle came from the distance of the position. Generally, this whistle represented the enemy's attack.

"Attention everyone! Get into your respective positions! Take anti-impact postures!"

Orders one after another spread throughout the trenches, and Mark and others also conscientiously prepared their anti-impact postures.

Sure enough, the enemy's artillery fire came dozens of seconds later, and this bloody tug-of-war began again.

"For the Emperor! Hold the line! Praise the Emperor with our loyalty! Dedicate our lives to the Emperor! Pray for his approval! Dedicate our strength to the Emperor! Pray for his compensation! With our Blood for the Emperor! Satisfy his thirst."

"We will die gloriously. We will lay the foundation for the empire with loyalty and sacrifice. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!"

The Anglican priests in the trenches began to pray, and some soldiers who believed in the Anglican religion also began to pray, including Mark and others.

At first they scorned this feudal idea, but when they saw those state church personnel who chanted the emperor's hymn and then demolished the enemy's bunker under fire, they immediately began to believe it.

The planet they were on was a garden-like planet with pleasant scenery, but it was occupied by a remnant Sekaran army. After detailed calculations and weighing the pros and cons by the Ministry of Military Affairs, they chose to engage in a long war of attrition with them.

"Start the attack!"

With the sound of the charging whistle, Mark and others quickly climbed out of the trench, and then charged forward in cooperation with the artillery troops behind them.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

The basilisk self-propelled artillery in the rear began to provide fire cover. One shell after another hit the enemy's fortress, and the cement wall was easily blasted away like a piece of paper.

The current Odisius Commando Regiment is a newly formed force, and most of the original members have been killed. There are only a handful of people like Hank who have survived from the old Odisius Commando Regiment.

The artillery unit opened a gap for the charging infantry, and countless soldiers of the Odisius Assault Regiment immediately poured into the gap, forcibly widening the gap.

"For Sekaran! Can't lose!"

The Sekaran officers shouted and charged towards the charging members of the Odisius Commando Regiment. They planned to use their lives to fill the gap, but unfortunately these Astral officers and soldiers were more serious than they thought. fear.

"For the Emperor!"

The leader was a battle priest of the Ecclesiarchy. He held a flamethrower in his left hand and a copy of the Holy Book of the Empire written by Lorgar in his other hand.

Chaplains within the Imperial Guard play a vital role, imparting the Emperor's sacred teachings and aiding the troops on and off the battlefield.

For these Chaplains, there is no higher calling than to be called upon to serve the Emperor's armies.

They lead by example, sometimes even dying heroically on bloody battlefields - a noble death they expect.

Some Anglican clergy were particularly noted for their considerable zeal in carrying out their duties and executing the heretics they detested.

Any Astra Militarum commander would be grateful for a powerful oration from an Ecclesiastical Chaplain who can inspire the populace to revolt against their heretic lords, or persuade rebel armies to lay down their arms and submit to the Emperor's mercy - inescapably, swiftly and bloodyly. death.

Ecclesiastical Chaplains ensure that troops are motivated enough to carry out their duties without fear and overcome their fears with zeal.

In battle, they harness the faith of their troops against the Emperor's enemies - chanting slogans of devotion and hatred, stirring fighting spirit in the hearts and souls of nearby guardsmen with furious righteous gratitude.

Together they will suppress those heretics who dare to rebel against the Emperor, determined to cleanse the battlefields of this filth.

All Anglican priests carry a rosary - it is as much a symbol of faith as a bottle of holy water.

And the more battle-hungry Anglican clerics, including those associated with Redemptorist sects, often preach in the midst of melee and defend their faith with roaring chainswords and bulky pistols.

Nothing boosts morale more than the splatters of flesh and mutilated corpses of heretics.

While an Ecclesiarch may serve in an Astral Legion for an extended period of time, he remains a member of the Ecclesiarchy, the religious backbone of the Imperium.

In reality, this had little impact on his standing in battle, as the chaplain would live and die with the men at the command of the regiment to which he was seconded.

A priest is equipped with a rosary, chainsword, holy water bottle, laser pistol, and grenades.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! Clear away the heretics in front of you!"

The state priest shouted, and then used the flamethrower in his hand to burn the enemy in front of him.

With the example of the state priests, the morale of countless Odisius soldiers greatly increased. They chanted the emperor's hymn, and then slashed the enemies in front of them with their bayonets.
