Chapter 313 Siege of Vraks
"Attention everyone! A new mission has arrived!"
Hank received the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs. In the border area of a hazy star field, there was an alien planet that had been resisting tenaciously. After research by officials from the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Empire decided to capture this planet. , and at all costs.
"Okay, okay, another hard day"
Hank reluctantly accepted the transfer order. It was their daily task to die every day. Fortunately, he was used to it.
"We will set off in three days. We still have enough time to rest and replenish our troops."
"Let me see what's going on?"
"Vraks? Fortress planet? The Ministry of Military Affairs has lost its mind and asked us to attack here?"
Hank complained and then looked at the list of troops participating in the battle. Apart from his own troops, there were also several mortal troops that he had never heard of. Of course, combat robot troops were also indispensable.
But several unexpected troops appeared in Hank's eyes, and Hank knew that the next battle would definitely be a tough one.
"The 143rd Siege Regiment of Krieg"
Krieger 88th Siege Regiment
Krieg's 156th Siege Regiment"
A battlefield with Krieg is destined to be uneven, not to mention the fact that three Krieg siege regiments were deployed at once.
"Eat and drink when you should, just keep your mind calm and say the Emperor's blessing silently."
Hank didn't care anymore. He should eat and drink as long as he could return to the Emperor's side.
"Let's go, brothers! Let's go drink at the bar in Zhongchao! Throne coins will be distributed today! The political commissar will pay for all purchases!"
The soldiers of the Odisius Regiment cheered and supported Hank, and then pushed him into the bar.

Vraks
This planet was transformed into a strong fortress. It was originally a mining field and a military base of the Star Alliance. After extensive repairs, it became an indestructible fortress.
The surface of Vraks is a gloomy wasteland, the earth is monotonous gray and black, the sun is blocked by smoke all day long, the sky is gloomy and gloomy, and the air contains an unpleasant smell that makes people's throats uncomfortable.
Millions of Star Alliance soldiers are stationed here. Their only home is here now, and what they have to do is to defend this planet until the last moment.
As expected, the life of this planet should be terminated by an extermination order, but according to the calculations of the Ministry of Military Affairs, this planet is very suitable as a logistics supply center and dispatch center for the empire's front line.
The Imperial Army may lose millions of lives on this planet, but in the future there will be effective support for the tens or even hundreds of millions of troops on the front line.
The empire lacks everything but the spirit of sacrifice.
The Iron Warriors, led by Borasca, led a large battalion equipped with MK4 power armor to cooperate with the operation, and Mortarion's Death Guard also mobilized a company.
Angron did not send anyone because of the tension on the front line, but continued to spearhead the assault with the Emperor's Children.
Curze has a more important mission. Their legion will be placed in the shadow of the rebel-occupied areas, giving the rebels a blow that is more terrifying than death at all times.
This battle is currently the most serious battle for the Imperial Army. In order to prevent enemy reinforcements, the Interceptor class even blocked the entire galaxy to which it belonged.
The Death Star and Starkiller Base began to destroy several planets that might have an impact on the war on Vraks. Before the war began, billions of alien civilians were once again annihilated in the artillery fire of the Empire.
Thousands of Astra Militarum are being mobilized from other battlefields to this battlefield, and this time the Empire attaches great importance to this planet.
"Attention all! Prepare to board! Prepare to board!"
The Krieg soldiers, wearing gray coats and gas masks, walked into the transport ship uniformly.
One million Krieg soldiers were transported by 100 transport ships to the frontline headquarters, the Faraday satellite in the Vraks system.
At this moment, the Faraday Satellite has become the frontline command post of the siege of Vraks. A huge army will land here at every moment, and then wait for orders.
There will be no glorious victory here, no honor and glory, only ruthless battle. We will drain the blood of our enemies before they drain us of our blood.
At this time, the command of the entire battlefield was transferred to the temporary battle group commander, General Dylan Dietrich.
"Admiral Dietrich"
Except for Krieg's group of silent men, officers from the 36th Dragoon Regiment of the First Son Army and the 44th Cadian Infantry Regiment came to General Dietrich's conference room, waiting for Dietrich. General Xi's order.
"We will lose a lot of lives on this planet, maybe even tens of millions of lives, but this planet must be captured. The empire is arranging for more troops to gather here, and we will serve as the vanguard."
Looking at the huge planet in front of him, Dietrich said slowly.
"The combat robot unit is responsible for the first wave of offensive. After the combat robot lands, it is time for us to conduct a landing battle."
"Are you the commander of this battlefield?"
The speaker was the captain of the third company of the Death Guard who owned Mortarion's Anvil. They were a special force designed to break the stalemate.
The Third Company is one of the few units that plays the role of a surprise soldier.
While other units continued to engage in bloody frontal attacks, the Third Company served as a reserve on the battleship waiting for the commander's orders.
Once the time is right, the troops will suddenly penetrate deep into the enemy's rear through teleportation or airdrop pods to strike at key nodes.
With their heavy protection and ferocious attacks, they are often able to kill key targets amid heavy siege and break the deadlock on the battlefield.
It is precisely because of this that Mortarion chose to place this Dalian faction here to assist the Imperial Astra Militarum in siege warfare.
"Sir Loko, we are ready for battle."
On the other side, Commander Boraska of the 4st Battalion of Iron Warriors wearing MK power armor also came to the command room.
"This planet is difficult to capture. I suggest that before sending a large number of combat robots as a battle line, we first direct artillery fire to bombard the surface of this planet."
Borasca spoke out his suggestion, and thousands of Space Marines from the Iron Warriors Legion joined the battle.
"At 24:244 on Terra, the first wave of offensive operations codenamed Bolla's Gun was launched. The 622th Legion and the nd Legion of combat robots served as the spearhead as the vanguard."
