".The Red Pirates' attack on the Sixth War Zone involved two galaxies and nine worlds. At least 20,000 to 30,000 heretical space warriors were dispatched, as well as a huge fleet including several capital ships. They were from their previous operations in the Plenty Galaxy.
Judging from the trends, the enemy has been planning for quite some time. The previous troops stationed in the Kirab system plus subsequent additional troops currently have about 6 million Astra Militarum troops stationed, scattered on four planets and nine moons. The local area should
There are also 300-500 million PDFs and irregular troops. From the latest information transmitted there, it can be concluded that the Red Pirates launched an attack on all worlds almost at the same time, trying to swallow the entire galaxy in one go, but this is not
causing their forces to be too spread out."
As Lysander spoke, a picture of a galaxy appeared in mid-air, with important marks and routes marked out.
"...Although most of the planetary capitals have fallen, no world has been completely occupied. The Red Pirates overestimated their ability to attack fortresses and underestimated the resistance capabilities of the Astra Militarum and local soldiers and civilians. The heretics probably did not expect that.
The logistics department has replenished the front-line troops with a large number of plasma and melt weapons from Reza, which must have caused a lot of trouble for the Red Pirates. However, the situation in the Kirab Galaxy is still not optimistic. According to the existing intelligence, the heretics have already begun
Driving the demons to attack the imperial army, if you give them more time, I'm afraid they will cause even greater trouble."
Beside the huge imaging device, everyone listened to Lysander's introduction while watching the unfolding image of the Sixth War Zone.
"Speaking of the devil"
Inquisitor Marcus produced a piece of data.
"Most of the demons summoned by the Red Pirates so far have been on a small scale, and they are all temporary summons. There is no large-scale, continuous summoning ceremony. This is very doubtful."
Soshyan answered this question.
"They don't dare. When it comes to summoning demons, who can be as professional as the traitors like the Word Bearers? If they really want to summon demons on a large scale, there will definitely be a lot of noise. If the Word Bearers cause harm, I'm afraid the demon army that appears will turn around and kill them first.
Huron is probably worried about the Red Pirate taking a bite."
Then, he looked at the Chief of Naval Staff.
"How is the Navy's concentration now?"
"The Gogotan Wasteland Patrol Fleet and a squadron of the Armageddon Strike Fleet have begun to assemble towards the Tranquility Galaxy. There are also three million Astra Militarum troops stationed in the galaxy. However, considering the requirements of galaxy defense, it may not be possible to directly
Mobilization, and the enemy's invasion of the Kirab Galaxy also poses a threat to the Sacred Relic Guardian Galaxy. We must pay attention to possible raids by the Red Pirates. In fact, the enemy's movements do not stop there. There are still small enemy forces in the Plenty Galaxy to conduct infiltration attacks.
The Endymion system has been continuously harassed by enemy plundering fleets since last month, and enemy ground forces also landed on Endymion 2, destroying a transit center and killing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians."
"It seems that the existing troops in the Sixth Theater are not enough to drive away the enemy."
The Magyar Lord expressed his opinion.
"We're going to send support troops to them."
Alex looked at the star map. Among all the space warriors, he seemed quite short, but his aura was not weak.
"Are the heretics planning to fight us there?"
Helbrecht, who was staring at the star map, shook his head when he heard Yaric's words.
"I don't see it."
Then he stretched out his hand and drew a circle around the Kirab Galaxy.
"The location of the Kirab Galaxy seems to be very critical, but it must also face pressure from all directions. Unless Huron loses his head, he will never choose such a place to fight us."
"Then the purpose of heresy is."
Alex thought for a moment, and then the mechanical prosthesis gently tapped on the guardrail.
"Badab."
Helbrecht nodded.
"Yes, Badab, and we can make this judgment. If we transfer the troops prepared to provide to the first and second theaters to the sixth theater, then the main force of the Red Pirates will withdraw immediately. This is their
The advantage is that with the Space Marines as the main force, whether it is fighting or fleeing, it is much easier than the Astra Militarum which needs to be deployed on a large scale. And after withdrawing, they will wait for an opportunity to break through another of our defense weaknesses, and continue to do so.
Mobilize our mobility."
"There's another thing worth noting."
Magyar pointed to the location of the White Temple.
"Although the strength of the Sixth War Zone is still sufficient, there is only one battle group stationed. The Red Pirates are likely to concentrate their efforts on attacking the White Temple first. As Marshal Herbrecht said, Huron will have to mobilize our mobile forces to attack the White Temple first.
Strength, using their expertise and familiarity with naval warfare and ambush warfare to attack our mobile forces, especially the Astartes, consuming our most precious forces, and ultimately achieving the goal of weakening the entire expeditionary force."
"But the situation in the Sixth War Zone cannot be ignored. After all, it is the closest to the center of the Maelstrom Rift. The Red Pirates are likely to cause other troubles."
In fact, at this point, things are already very clear, and the decision is placed in front of Soshyan.
Should we continue to increase support for the first and second theaters according to the original plan, or should we temporarily abandon the offensive plan in Badab and shift our forces to the sixth theater to alleviate the urgent needs first.
Soshyan looked at the star map and after thinking for a long time, he made his decision.
"The 15 million troops supporting the fourth theater and the 10 million troops reinforcing the third theater remain unchanged. The support troops of the first theater are reduced from 85 million to 405 million. The support troops of the second theater are reduced from 85 million to 405 million.
Sixty-five million reduced to thirty-five million.”
The first batch of trained recruits totaled 300 million, and together with the subsequent 30 million recruits supported by the Ministry of Military Affairs, the total number of recruits was 330 million.
The original plan is that the first and second theaters will receive a total of 150 million recruits, and the other theaters will allocate another 100 million each, leaving 50 million as strategic reserves. Now Soshiyan is equivalent to dividing the first and second theaters.
Withdrawing half of the reinforcements from the sector, this is actually equivalent to temporarily giving up the offensive plan in the Badab sector.
"The withdrawn troops will be combined with the troops scheduled to go to the Sixth War Zone, a total of 100 million, plus the Holy War Army of the State Church, to drive away the invading Red Pirates. In addition, the Mantis Warriors Chapter will also be put into combat and will be under the command of the Sixth War Zone."
As he spoke, he looked at everyone.
"Huron wants to fight there, okay, I will fight with him, but when he thinks he is complacent about taking our power away from Badab, he will find that he has lost the most important thing."
Then Soshyan stretched out his hand, pointed at Angstrom, and said in a serious tone:
"This is an opportunity right now. The Red Pirates are focusing on the Sixth War Zone and Badab. Especially when our reinforcements appear, they are more likely to ignore this place. Therefore, I decided to advance the occupation plan for Angstrom.
, next I will publicly announce that I will personally lead the troops to the Sixth Theater to support, but the fleet will secretly turn around in the Grief Galaxy, and the Third Theater will assist in this operation, in order to ensure that the attack on Ogstrom is completed as quickly as possible.
This battle will be dominated by Space Marines. Astral Knights, Black Templars, Imperial Fists, Ascetics, Flesh Tearers, and Ranger Warriors will all be involved in the battle. Ryza's Skitarii and Fleet will also be involved.
Participate in the battle, but their focus is to break through Angstrom's defense system."
