Chapter 56 Krieg's Charge, Space Marine Warband

"Quick! All artillery units enter designated positions! For the Emperor"

Infantry wins firefights, tanks win battles, and artillery wins battles.

This sentence is enough to prove the great role of artillery in a battle.

Hundreds of Medusa heavy siege guns gathered at the enemy fortress on this resource planet. These terrifying siege weapons were towed by various military vehicles to designated positions to prepare for battle.

"TMD, I studied in the military academy for 5 years and in the end I still have to learn this World War II tactic."

Several artillery officers ordered the troops to transport artillery shells while cursing. They didn't understand why an interstellar civilization like the Human Empire used towed artillery?

"The guy wearing the gas mask is like a time traveler"

Several Light Chaser artillerymen looked at the officers of the Krieg Death Legion who came to guide the position and said disdainfully.

"Death Corps... Such an avant-garde name. I don't think anyone should want to name their army "Death", right?"

The officer ignored the complaints from several people and walked straight to a few Light Chaser soldiers who were carrying cannonballs hard.

"waste"

The officer cursed softly under the gas mask and then picked up the shell with one hand. Everyone looked at this horrific scene in confusion. You must know that this shell could kill several of them. In front of them This weirdo actually resisted all by himself.

"I have been ordered by the Ministry of Military Affairs to guide you in artillery operations."

The Krieger artilleryman stuffed the shell into the barrel with both hands and quickly loaded it.

"that's all"

"…………, not only the tactics are retro, but the operation is also retro"

Officer Krieger ignored their strange looks and took the lead in firing.

"boom!"

The huge sound directly frightened everyone. The huge sound was like the roar of a god, and the cannonball hit the enemy's fortress wall after a simple flight.

"You fucking call this a towed artillery? This is not a gun-launched missile!!"

"Medusa can fire heavier shells at lower speeds over shorter distances. This heavy shell has excellent destructive capabilities, but Medusa cannot match the range of the Earthshaker, so It performed poorly against enemy artillery positions and was more often used to destroy enemy bunkers, pillboxes, parapets and trenches."

After the introduction, the Krieger officer returned to his position.

"Um...Okay everyone, our goal is to provide fire support to that force."

The political commissar stood up again and looked at the soldiers below and said awkwardly.

"Artillery support, what are they planning to do..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rapid charge whistle came from the position next to him.

"All personnel enter the artillery position! Prepare to fire!"

The political commissar knew the meaning of this charging post and hurriedly began to order the soldiers.

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

The Medusa artillery began a methodical bombardment, and under the suppression of this firepower, a Krieg infantry regiment began to disperse and attack the enemy.

"Damn it! Who the hell is running under gunfire!"

The soldiers of the Krieg Death Corps were stunned as they watched the charging troops. What kind of tactic was this? A death tactic?

"A Krieg siege force is a large and diverse battle group, including infantry, armor, artillery, special forces, etc., and opens a breakthrough through coordinated operations among various arms."

The political commissar explained later.

When Krieg charged, the artillery fire from behind had opened a path for them. Because of the range, these Krieg soldiers were actually completely safe, but they just looked a little scary.

At this moment, the Tukad soldiers who were still in the fortress and had not recovered from their emotions saw a group of figures moving quickly in the dust.

"What…………"

Before the Tukad soldier could react, an engineer shovel hit it accurately on the head, shattering the soldier's head with just one blow.

Krieg's charge was silent, but the pressure when they charged was huge. They pressed towards the enemy like a huge gray wall.

"What the hell is this!!!"

The Tukad soldier cried and tried to run behind him, but was surprised to find that his legs could no longer move due to fear.

"No! No!"

The soldier kept crying and begging for mercy from the Krieg soldiers, but he was still greeted by the shovel.

"OMG…………"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the charging figures of the Krieg soldiers.

At the same time, the Krieg engineers in front had already charged to the inner city fortress wall.

Each Krieg engineer is a professional miner and geologist, as well as an experienced warrior. They are not only responsible for the excavation and construction of trenches and underground bunkers for their own troops, but also for the excavation of tunnels leading to the enemy's rear. Tunnels, use tunnels to bypass enemy lines of defense to attack, or create landslides to open a breakthrough.

The engineers in the front buried the molten explosives and quickly withdrew to both sides, while the engineers in the back held mole launchers and aimed at the city wall.

This launcher can be launched from a shoulder-mounted launcher. This kind of rocket with a digging bit will not detonate automatically. Its destination is usually the enemy's tunnel or the foundation part of the fortification. Once Upon reaching the target location, the operator will detonate the torpedo. The resulting explosion and impact will not only directly kill the enemy, but also destroy the foundation and load-bearing structures of the tunnel, causing them to eventually collapse under their own weight.

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

The tall inner city wall collapsed. At this time, the Krieg engineers who were already prepared began to charge with Lucius Mark 22 C semi-automatic shotguns.

This terrifying combat weapon can knock enemies into a chokehold or even blood mist in close combat.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The screams of the Tukad soldiers were endless. Some of the lucky ones were directly beaten into a ball of minced meat, which was equivalent to a happy ending. The bodies of some unlucky ones were directly blown into two halves. The torture they had to endure was much more painful. .

While the engineers were charging, the grenadiers and infantrymen from the rear also rushed in. What awaited the Tukadians was a brutal battle.

………………

"System, I feel that I have too few Space Marines now, and there are no discounted battle groups that I can buy from."

Yang Cheng looked at the system interface and asked, 50 space warriors are still too few, and the water in it is very deep, and many space warriors have more or less hatred among themselves.

"Ding, do you want 40 war points from the original Chaos warband from the Warhammer 10k era, the Torment Company (formerly known as the Brotherhood of Desolation)?"
