An hour later, although Colonel Akater was still standing at his post, there was still no news about the Knights of the Astral Realm.
“指挥部那边还是没有通讯吗?”
“是的....是的,长官.”
“别是出了什么事吧——”
Standing at the hatch of the command vehicle, the perfect battle could not calm Colonel Akat's growing uneasiness. He resisted the urge to continue to ask the correspondent for information that did not exist, and instead lifted the bomb and fired into the gap between the left-wing tanks, blew bloody waves out of the sea of craze.
忽然,夜幕降临,然后又突然消失.
Colonel Akater was startled with a dazzling white light, and he looked up and saw the flash of explosions jumping between the clouds, and no thunder came.
Colonel Akater stared at the horrible scene, his throat instantly getting dry, and he couldn't even say the word "no".
闪光消失,黑夜短暂地回归.
Then day then came again, with huge wrecks shaking through the sky, bright enough to match the sun, like a meteor shower dragging the tail of fire.
The white night was shattered and shone brightly. Some fragments fell several kilometers away from the queue. With the vibration of the earth, the roar of thunder finally rang out.
More light, the last light, the bursting fireball comes from the wild howling shattered hundreds.
Colonel Akater let go of the heavy bomb, groped in the radio microphone, swallowed it three times before barely making a sound.
"Everyone pays attention to falling objects and don't be nervous."
There is nothing else to say, the new political committee maintains morale, and undoubtedly, he will shout and declare that the soldiers saw nothing changed a moment ago.
Until now he still thought it was an imperial warship.
The light generated by the death of the Wild Howling gradually faded away at the place where it erupted, the shells still fell, the jets burning protons cleared the front of the position, and the roar of the main gun continued.
Suddenly, someone saw a huge blunt bow vehicle descending from the sky.
"What!"
For a moment, Colonel Akater had absurd hope.
He stared at the things that seemed to be landing craft, as if they would miraculously show familiar colors.
它们没有.
There is no dark green, no silver grey, only pitch black and iron grey, and disgusting heretic symbols.
He didn't know that the Brotherhood of Steel appeared above his head, but he knew that this was definitely not a friendly army.
“向那些飞船开火!”
Colonel Akater shouted that the gun crew had all turned around the turret.
Before the opponent fired the rocket, the Hydra anti-aircraft gun crew took the lead in firing, and the sharp shells roared and teared the sky in an instant!
But this is the only thing that can prevent orbital airborne from being deflated by this field air defense.
After sinking into the planet's atmosphere, the landing ship with a black iron shell immediately accelerated and poured the devastating power onto the muddy plain.
Various large armored vehicles, Rand Raiders and Predators swept out from the landing ships, pressing deep grooves into the mud.
The most deadly one is the Waldo tank destroyer.
The Waldo Tank Destroyer is a tank destroyer built on the chassis of the Maka multi-heavy tank. The chassis is equipped with a powerful neutron laser cannon - a technological legacy from the Dark Age. Relying on powerful main guns, this tank has the ability to fight against heavy tanks and even Titans that are several times larger than it.
However, this main gun is not without shortcomings. Although it is more compact and consumes less energy than the larger No. 1 volcanic cannon, installing it directly on the chassis of a Maka multi-heavy tank is a bit reluctant for this tank. For this reason, the original turret, front weapons and a side-side weapon stand have to be removed to install the neutron laser cannon and its energy supply components.
This design is effective but has many unreasonable elements. For example, the chassis of the Makado is not as large as the Shadow Sword to provide sufficient safety protection for the occupants. If something happens to the capacitor and energy supply coil of the neutron laser cannon, the vehicle crew will be in trouble.
Therefore, this is a powerful and dangerous vehicle - both for the enemy and the user.
The Waldo tank destroyer appeared relatively late, and it was not until the Horus rebellion that he had a brief chance to show his skills. During the Horus rebellion and the subsequent Great Purge, he used to fight against the Rand attackers of the rebellion and the Titans of the Dark Mechanism Cult, and ensured that most of the rebellion troops disappeared from the depths of the Eye of Fear and it was difficult to see the light of day again.
Originally, there were 20-30 Valdos sleeping in the arsenal of Frax, which could not be used because of the lack of corresponding technology. However, when the Brotherhood of Steel arrived, the war blacksmith who had served the Great Expedition awakened the tanks and took some of them in the subsequent evacuation.
And this "part" number is-
6 aircraft!
However, this time the Iron Brotherhood did not put all the vehicles in, but only 2 aircraft were invested, after all, it was too precious.
Not only for the Chaos War Gang, but also for the Empire.
Today, the Waldo tank destroyer is a rare combat vehicle. Only a few foundry worlds, including Mars, still have the ability to produce and maintain them. The astral legions that are still equipped with Waldo are either long-standing or closely related to the Red-robed priests, such as the Cadia Legion.
Therefore, it is no surprise that Colonel Akater recognized these gray iron vehicles at a glance from the telescope.
When he put down his telescope, only a few words were spit out between his lips and teeth.
"I fuck it-"
Before he could finish his words, his voice was drowned in the sound of explosion of metal.
A red neutron beam hit the front armor of a Riemanlus fifty meters away on the left side of the Chimera command vehicle. In an instant, the smoke and flames exploded outwards. The huge chassis suddenly jumped up like an angry beast, and its turret fell aside in a cloud of smoke.
Colonel Akater immediately turned on the sender:
"Retreat! Release smoke barrage, and all vehicles retreat!"
He realized that another Valdo destroyer must have been aiming, so he quickly directed the armored formation to retreat and released the smoke bombs on the vehicle.
Soon, a smoke screen more than 500 meters long appeared on the front line.
The predators of the Brotherhood of Steel also began to advance, firing, and the heavy shooting hit the ruins around the command vehicle and flashed through flashes.
Colonel Akater quickly looked away.
"Let's go, go first and later."
After he finished speaking, the driver muttered to confirm.
Colonel Akater then began to command the infantry.
"All companies are ready for anti-vehicle combat! Armored bazooka and blasting squads are on standby at any time!"
Suddenly, just as he was deploying, the gunner began to curse, and Colonel Akat turned his head to look at him, his ears filled with a series of scolding.
"What's wrong?"
Colonel Akater shouted, and the gunner stopped cursing.
"Sir, a vehicle of unknown model has gone around to our right."
Colonel Akater quickly looked to the right with his telescope, but he saw—
