Chapter 330: Informationized warfare, bloodbath of insects!
Helos Starport.
Peripheral defensive front, watchtowers.
Ron overlooked the steel defense line that had been constructed.
The outermost Titan cluster, the Imperial Knights, and the super-heavy Baneblade tank group are already in place.
After the vehicle cluster, there are three defensive walls more than ten meters high and four to five meters thick, which are filled with densely packed heavy artillery and force field defense devices.
The deep trenches more than ten meters wide on both sides of the defensive wall are filled with promethium ultra-high temperature fuel.
between defensive walls.
It is divided into more than ten defense zones, filled with heavy armor, sentries and other vehicles. Each unit will cooperate with these vehicles to fight.
At the very back is the super-heavy heavy artillery group.
at the same time.
The Blood Angels and the Sons of Man are also ready.
Eight hundred Centurion armored warriors, hundreds of Dreadnoughts, and many other warriors all successfully arrived at their defense zone.
There are also about a third of the elite Space Marine veterans who are gearing up on the Thunderhawk gunship.
Go to various defense zones for support at any time and be responsible for dealing with node creatures.
Hiss~
"The Vanguard Hive has spent a lot of money this time. This large number is enough to flood the Helos Starport several times..."
Ron used the telescope to look at the insect swarm in the distance and couldn't help but take a breath.
within sight.
The Tyranids were so dark that they almost blocked out all the light in the area.
Like a large shadow covering the sky.
It's slowly coming over.
Even from dozens of kilometers away, he could sense the screams of the insect swarms.
"Lord Savior..."
Dante looked down at the iron barrel-like war zone and its layout: "This is one of the strongest fortresses I have ever seen. Even if it is only temporary, I believe it can resist the swarm of insects."
Actually.
Many arrangements in the war zone.
The chapter leader couldn't understand it, it was far beyond his previous experience.
Good thing.
He doesn't need to worry about the command this time.
Dante turned to look at the tall back of the savior not far away, and the worries in his heart dissipated a lot.
This was the first time he felt so relaxed on the eve of a war.
Because the savior is in front of the soldiers.
You are no longer the most important one, you don’t have to bear all the burdens, and you don’t have to be people’s only support.
"It's so good to have the guidance of a great being..."
Dante thought so.
He suddenly envied the Ultramarines and the Chapters under the Savior. They had the guidance of the Gene Father.
If only his genetic father could return.
That would be great.
The Blood Angels have always believed that the great Sanguinius was not completely dead.
It’s just that there is no way to return for the time being.
"Do we really not need to go to the front line to command?" Dante still had some doubts and uneasiness about the fighting method of the Savior's armed forces.
Ron turned around, raised his hand and patted the old soldier on the shoulder:
"No need, we'll just wait here and just obey the orders with peace of mind, not to mention the commanders who came out of Zhongsi Academy.
Much more professional than me. "
He doesn't have to go to the battlefield to direct the overall situation like the regent or other chapter leaders.
That would be too exhausting and difficult to juggle.
If he has to do everything himself, then why does he spend so much effort cultivating talents?
To know.
The education funding of the Savior Territory accounts for 7% of the overall income, which is higher than any country in the previous life.
That’s the total income of hundreds or thousands of planets!
now.
Below the watchtower stands a steel fortress about five meters high.
Heavy force field defenses were built around the fortress, and two teams of Thunder Guards were even arranged to guard it.
It can be said to be heavily defended.
Because this is the heart of the entire Helos Starport war zone - the information command center.
Inside the command center.
In the hall, dozens of virtual projections occupy most of the space.
These virtual projections receive signals from countless surveillance devices located throughout the war zone and beyond. With the support of the Mechanical Goddess, the signals can even be obscured by Tyranid Shadows.
transmitted to dozens of kilometers away.
Almost all information from the entire war zone was transmitted to the command center.
Through these virtual projections, the insect tide situation inside and outside the war zone can be clearly observed.
now.
About sixty commanders work here, responsible for coordinating and commanding the entire battlefield.
They are all outstanding graduates of the Information Warfare School of Chungsi College.
On the podium.
Commander-in-Chief Dirksen stood up straight, staring at the various data changes on the virtual projection.
Don't dare to slack off at all.
This is the first time that the information warfare department has participated in the war.
Dirksen is a worker's child. With the grace of the Savior, he was able to study at Zhongsi College.
But the academy he joined and what he learned.
Something is different.
He studied subjects related to information warfare proposed by the Savior.
Due to the interference of subspace, alien psychic energy, and chaotic forces.
It is very difficult to convey information on the battlefield, and it is often accompanied by many errors or even complete mistakes.
So in many cases.
Commanders would issue orders to operate freely and then based on very little information.
to command his troops.
Actually.
The war fought to the end, relying on the will and courage of the soldiers.
There isn't much strategy to speak of.
In most cases, it's either a matter of holding on or charging.
Only the original body, the chapter leader, and the legendary commander can issue accurate commands with their rich experience and sharp nerves.
To achieve amazing results.
But those are a very small number after all, and based on experience, there will always be omissions.
therefore.
The Savior proposed the concept of information warfare many years ago and set out to establish relevant academies to cultivate talents.
Let the military rely on the physical domain, subspace domain, and electromagnetic information domain to pursue "seeing far, reacting quickly, and striking accurately."
A trinity of operations is formed with an individual cutting-edge combat power strike system, a troop and vehicle cluster strike system, and a heavy long-range artillery strike system.
This is a remarkable advance in combat concepts.
However.
The reality is cruel.
Before the mechanical goddess completely appeared.
These graduates of the Information Warfare Academy have never been put to use.
You can only perform extreme simulation training over and over again on the virtual sandbox.
now.
They were finally able to step onto the battlefield and command an entire campaign, provide soldiers with specific and detailed information, and coordinate the mobilization of support in all defense zones.
Show your worth to the Great Savior.
This is for the information warfare department.
Very important.
The success of this battle will determine their future.
"Report to the commander-in-chief that the Tyranid swarm has entered the range of missile fire!"
The report came.
Dirksen brought up the relevant virtual projection screen and looked at the dark Tyranide swarm above.
Those endless torrents of fangs and tearing claws.
So terrible.
He calmly issued the order: "Mark important targets and let the long-range strike force carry out super-heavy missile strikes!"
Dirksen's eyes were firm.
This battle.
He wants to let the alien bugs know the horror of the information warfare department and achieve irrefutable glorious results!
After the commander-in-chief's order was issued, the relevant person in charge immediately marked the relevant strike area and passed the information to the long-range strike forces in the rear.
Buzz——
Area of long-range strike force.
On the super-heavy platform more than ten meters long, the Apocalypse missile launcher was slowly raised.
Entered launch mode.
This weapon is composed of multiple missile tubes and can carry twenty rocket missiles. It integrates a highly automated automatic loading and targeting system.
Amid the incense of the tech-priests and the hymns of the mechanical goddess, the operators fed in data from the command center.
Then.
The valve was yanked sharply.
at the same time.
The same goes for several other heavy-duty platforms.
Bang!
Accompanied by thick smoke.
Dozens of about five-meter-long super-heavy rocket missiles took off, swaying their wake, and screamed toward the area where the Tyranids were swarming.
On the watchtower.
"The war has begun..."
Ron looked at the super-heavy missiles going away and whispered.
This time.
The Savior Territory will fight against the alien swarm in an information-based combat mode.
Although in his opinion, the territory's current information warfare methods are still relatively crude.
But everything has a first step.
Any field.
Even small improvements can lead to huge results.
What's more, in this dark, barbaric, superstitious dark century of mankind.
Ron believed it.
This battle will severely damage the Tyranid swarm!
…
dozens of kilometers away.
Under the protection of the huge insect tide.
The insect swarm tyrant nearly ten meters high moves, its sharp arthropods constantly leaving deep scars on the ground, and tearing insects are constantly being produced from the cavities all over its body.
Continue to breed larger insect swarms.
This tyrant is an extremely powerful mutant. As the top synapse biological commander, he firmly practices the will of the hive.
Although limited by the Gestalt thinking of the Hive Mind, the Tyrant possesses complete self-awareness.
It has been given more autonomy and can make tactical command adjustments to the battle situation.
Even be able to learn from your mistakes.
The swarm tyrant's eyes were cunning, and his sight spanned a distance of dozens of kilometers.
Keep an eye on the rising fortress.
soon.
Its swarms will flood the place, grabbing all the biomass!
hiss--
suddenly.
The swarm tyrant sensed the threat, and his eyes showed a trace of fear.
Dozens of human weapons are coming this way!
"Why can humans on this planet develop such a long-range strike force in such a short period of time?"
The synaptic creature commander was a little confused.
But it reacted quickly and immediately screamed and issued defense orders to the insect swarm.
moment.
Many guard bugs surrounded it, using thick chitin carapace to surround it tightly.
At the same time.
The entire Tyranid swarm also defended itself.
Boom boom boom——
Dozens of super-heavy rocket missiles struck at high speed and hit the predetermined target area.
The plasma missile split before impact, forming six pulsating plasma clusters that filled a large area with deadly plasma.
A large number of low-level insect swarms were burned into cokes by the high temperature.
The radiation missile sprayed out a large amount of fragments containing highly toxic radiation, sweeping away all carbon-based life forms around it, and the subsequent intense radiation polluted all the land in the area.
causing further damage.
Even more terrifying is the vortex missile, the warhead is filled with raw subspace energy.
It exploded at low altitude, creating a vortex field of nearly half a kilometer in size that tore through space.
Continuously sucking a large number of Tyranid air creatures into the subspace!
The guards around the Zerg Tyrant let out a shrill howl, and this area was hit by several missiles almost at the same time, causing a lot of damage.
Their special chitin shells were pierced by high temperature and radiation.
Scarred.
The huge suction force afterwards even pulled them and sucked them into the subspace hole.
However.
The Zerg Tyrant still resisted these attacks, relying on the chitin shield of the guards and the psychic shield near the surface of the body.
It was almost unscathed.
Hiss! ! !
The Zerg Tyrant supported his body and roared towards the sky, and the invisible psychic energy spread outward.
Inspiring the Zerg swarm, which was somewhat panicked under the fierce artillery attack.
The Tyranid swarm changed its formation, became more dispersed, and then charged towards the fortress with all its strength.
They will reach the fortress at the fastest speed!
The Tyranid swarm was like a high-speed chitin flood, heading towards the defense line of Heros Starport.
Afterwards.
Under the cover of the swarm, the Zerg Tyrant changed its position.
Became more hidden.
It was impossible for the human commander to find it from a long distance here!
However, not long after the synaptic command creature charged, it suddenly stopped again.
Because new attacks arrived again, and several of the attacks were aimed at itself.
The Zerg Tyrant roared in his heart:
"Why can humans find me so quickly?!"
The next second.
The fierce molten jet released by the explosion of the hot melt missile covered it.
...
Watchtower.
"Tsk, it's still cool to be washed by artillery fire..."
Ron looked at the roaring and violent explosion in the distance, and his mood was very good.
Thanks to the existence of the mechanical goddess and the little cotton jacket, these rocket missiles can be interfered with by the Tyranid shadow.
Hit the target accurately.
Sizzle~
He opened a bottle of iced cola and took a sip.
Then.
He handed Dante another can:
"Try it, it's a special drink of our territory. Let's relax now. We'll be busy later..."
The captain hesitated for a moment, then took it and drank it.
In an instant.
The coolness that penetrated his heart made his eyes brighten and he exhaled a long breath.
This is a special version of super mint ice cold at more than ten degrees below zero provided by the Savior.
It's good for refreshing.
Rumble--
The roar came again, and a new round of bombing began.
Ron's sight moved back to the bombing area in the distance.
It must be said that the Tyranid swarm is indeed strong. Even the artillery fire can't destroy them all.
Many Tyranid swarms are already under the cover of psychic creatures.
They rushed across the bombing area at high speed.
Even though the missile bombing has greatly reduced the number of Tyranid swarms, their overall strength is still far greater than ours.
There is still a major threat.
Visible to the naked eye.
Shadows appeared on the ground, the Tyranid air force blocked the light, and there were dense swarms of various types of swarms below.
Soon.
The Tyranid swarm arrived at the dense minefield outside the war zone, followed by rounds of mine bombing.
Hiss hiss hiss! ! !
"Damn primitive apes!"
The swarm master was completely furious under the bombing.
It hadn't seen what the enemy looked like, and the swarm had lost most of its strength!
This synaptic command creature had obeyed the will of the Great Devourer and devoured countless weak human planets, and it was always successful.
It had never suffered such a heavy blow!
Fortunately.
The remaining swarms of his own were enough to submerge the fortress.
Unfortunately.
The swarm master was still optimistic.
Because what was waiting for it next was a steel defense line built by Titan clusters, Imperial Knights and super-heavy tanks.
…
Different from the noisy Zerg.
The towering war machines here stood quietly, with the red-bottomed gold-faced flags representing honor spread out between the shoulders and legs of the Titans.
Fluttering in the wind.
It exuded a strong pressure, facing the attacking Zerg.
The Titan cluster, the Imperial Knights and the super-heavy tank array were waiting for the command from the command center.
After the Tyranid Zerg entered the best attack area.
These war machines received their respective attack orders and poured firepower into the sky and the earth.
They built a tight fire net defense line with fierce artillery fire, high-temperature flamethrowers and plasma weapons.
They harvested the alien bugs in their respective areas accurately, efficiently and coldly.
The Tyranid Zerg seemed to have hit an indestructible copper wall head-on, and the offensive instantly became sluggish.
It fell into a disadvantage.
Soon.
The Zerg fought back.
Horrible living shells and acid bombs rained down, spore mines exploded between tanks, spraying thorns and lingering poisonous mist.
But most of the attacks.
were blocked by the void shields of the Titan cluster.
Then.
The Tyranid swarms faced a more fierce artillery attack, and some small swarms even collapsed.
On the watchtower.
Ron quietly watched this slaughter of steel against chitin.
He found something and frowned:
"Sure enough, the first line of defense is still unstoppable..."
The offensive strategy of the Tyranids has changed. They are no longer obsessed with attacking the steel defense line.
Instead, they rush directly to the defense wall under the artillery fire.
Dante looked at this scene and became more worried: "Savior, the number of swarms is still too large. I am a little worried about the morale of the soldiers..."
The terrifying screams of the Tyranids have been clearly audible. Such surging sound waves and psychic pressure.
Will greatly hit our morale.
It can even make some weak-willed mortal troops lose their combat capabilities.
In the previous battle.
The Imperial support troops were seriously affected and suffered too much.
It also made the battle of the Blood Angels more difficult.
However, the next second.
The commander heard an exciting and inspiring music.
That was the Savior's Holy Music.
The holy music projected by the hymn projection device completely suppressed the terrifying screams of the Tyranids!
In this regard.
Ron was not too surprised, it was just a classic piece.
"Sir Dante, the sacred music is good, isn't it?"
He looked at the commander of the regiment, and his voice was gentle: "I will also prepare a set of sacred songs and related equipment for you later, which is quite useful."
The savior has made a decision.
After the war with Leviathan is over, the Blood Angels will be listed as a strategic partner for further cooperation.
Provide various resources and help from the territory to comprehensively transform the Blood Angels and the Baal Galaxy.
Now, the brothers are rich.
It's time to let other fighting brothers live a good life.
Bang——
High-temperature flames ignited in the wide trenches.
Many swarms rushed into the promethium trenches, and wailed miserably under the burning of high-temperature flames.
But these flames could not make the swarms retreat.
More swarms stepped into it, paving the way for other worms with their bodies.
On the defensive wall.
Lasers and explosive arrows blocked the sky and the area in front of the wall.
Tear apart countless Tyranids.
The Destroyer Centurion Squad and the Heavy Weapons Group used automatic cannons and heavy bolters to shoot small creatures.
Armor-piercing missiles, laser beams, and melta cannons turned those big guys into meat paste.
Snipers marked high-risk targets one after another and shot tracking devices into their bodies.
Let the command center get information about these high-risk Tyranid units.
On the city wall.
Two Dreadnoughts, one red and one dark green, fought side by side. The good brothers covered each other and poured out fierce artillery fire.
In the Tyranid command node.
The Zerg Tyrant hid his figure and carefully observed the battlefield through the reconnaissance unit, revealing a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
Its sharp mouthparts twitched, and it felt the... large amount of biomass gathered behind the defense line!
This synaptic command creature decided not to entangle with the defense line at all, but to directly cross the defense line to devour the biomass.
Moreover, he also found a way to launch a devastating attack behind the defense line!
Gradually.
Batch after batch of Tyranid swarms rushed out from the firepower net of the first defense wall and rushed back.
That means the war has entered a higher intensity, and the two sides will engage in close-range brutal street fighting!
However.
That is the advantage of information warfare...
