While Silas Orwick was waiting, the reconnaissance squadron responsible for enemy search had confirmed that a group of armored vehicles painted with heretical runes was approaching quickly. There was no doubt that this should be the vanguard of the enemy's armored force.
As time went by, more reports came in, and the enemy seemed to be overly armored, but the signal could not be confirmed, and the number could not be judged, because the enemy armored vehicles began to turn to attack the surrounding Chimeras who were conducting reconnaissance.
The two sides were very, very close.
"All detachments, lift restrictions on artillery fire. After the engagement, focus on destroying the heavy and super-heavy armor of the heretics. The traitors will be eliminated by the Broadsword detachment and the Black Wolf detachment."
Orwick barely raised his voice, but he made sure everyone could hear his plan.
"All fighter units will conduct key strike missions as soon as possible after the enemy armored forces have engaged. All vehicle crews will maintain a low-key operation. The number of enemies is currently unclear."
He did not ask his subordinates to reply with an order to confirm that the enemy was already nearby. The lower the communication frequency, the lower the possibility of being detected.
Their mission is to block rather than attack, so Orvik hopes to take full advantage of the Leman Russ tank's firepower and launch artillery fire over a long distance. As for the Kriegs, he doesn't know where the opponent is from beginning to end.
, and didn’t plan to ask.
Cadian people will not rely on others to achieve a victory.
At this time, the gunner has started the operation panel and input various shooting elements such as current wind speed, atmospheric pressure, temperature and scale into the target indicator through the manual input interface.
Soon, Ovik felt a subtle low-frequency vibration. It was not a feeling heard by the ears, but a feeling felt by people through the bones and flesh.
The outline image of a Sikaran battle tank appeared in the scope, and at the same time, many trucks and armored vehicles followed behind, as well as a large number of traitors inside.
There are no Predators, only a few Sikaran, and it seems that the enemy does not know that there is an ambush here.
But Orwick is even more looking forward to the appearance of the "super-heavy armor" mentioned in the investigation.
However, the enemy was about to rush over, so they could only carry out their original plan.
"Fire!"
The Camelot anti-tank armored vehicle of the "Longbow" detachment first fired the hunter-killer missile, and quickly and automatically loaded the second missile after the first round, firing 9 missiles in almost two seconds.
But the moment the Hunter-Killer missile flew out, Sikaran immediately began to maneuver and ejected a large amount of metal platinum strips and smoke.
Orvik stared at the observation mirror carefully. The thunder of metal rolled across the ground. The explosion shook every piece of armor of the tank. The roaring sounds of many engines and the roar of shrapnel were mixed with the rumbling explosions, filling it with various shapes, shadows and light.
caught his eyes.
The missiles blew up those vehicles and light armor, causing them to scatter parts and stagger here and there, but the few Sikarans began to retreat intact.
He realized that he had underestimated these heavy vehicles inherited from the era of the Great Crusade.
"Aim for that Xikaran!"
"shooting!"
The Vanquisher cannon roared in rage as it joined the chorus of the battle. The anti-armor round struck the front of the Sikaran and tore off one of its secondary guns before the breech bolt jumped back in front of the loader, who
Immediately insert the next anti-armor round into the barrel.
At this time, Orvik heard the roar of the Leman Russ tank's multi-fuel engine, and then saw the "Poison Dagger" detachment begin to move forward, seemingly wanting to pursue the retreating Sikaran.
"Don't move randomly!"
Suddenly, a Leman Russ Conqueror from the Poison Dagger Squadron exploded into a ball of fire, and Ovik didn't even react.
This explosion was extraordinary. It was not the kind of explosion where a big hole was punched out or where ammunition was concentrated, but the entire tank instantly turned into countless scattered burning fragments.
It actually has such power——
Poison blade!
A terrifying possibility jumped into the colonel's mind.
The colonel moved his eyes away from the front sighting device and looked down at the auspicious screen.
A new group of enemies appeared on the right. Their signal marks were so dazzling, but he didn't recognize those models at all.
The Reaper's Scythe squad hurriedly turned to the new enemy.
Dazzling high-intensity lasers streaked across the ruins. The Red Corsair Saber assault tank took the lead and directly destroyed an Annihilator tank destroyer. Then the other two Annihilators were hit. One shot missed due to explosion interference, and the other hit the Cruel One.
The side skirt of the sword was only torn off into a fragment.
The second shot of the Cruel Blade directly destroyed the second Annihilator of the Sishen Scythe detachment, and the remaining one had to release smoke and start to move.
"Change the formation! Change the 1-2-4 plan!"
Silas Owick decisively ordered the change of formation, and at the same time, his car began to move, and the sound of gear bites echoed in the crew cabin, showing a unique rhythm.
"Loading complete!"
"Hit the big guy!"
The Leman Russ tank shook violently as the victor's cannon fired. The colonel stared closely at the big thing no less than a poison blade. However, to his disappointment, the cannonball bounced off the opponent's round turret.
"Pride of Cadian" also fired a shot, hitting the opponent's frontal armor, but only making a dent.
Twisted runes and tactical icons were crowded together like a swarm. The tanks of the Cadian 1652 Armored Regiment still maintained their superiority on the terrain and unleashed deadly artillery strikes with all their strength.
They suffered some losses, but also destroyed a Sikaran through concentrated fire, but the right wing suffered a side attack. The enemy obviously intended to eliminate the most threatening fighter detachment first.
"Loading completed."
The loader pulled down the breech handle and slammed the tail of the gun. The green light came on. The gunner was already adjusting the muzzle to lock on the enemy's brutal blade. At this time, the driver also stopped the evasive maneuvering tank in time. Everyone almost
Without saying a word, they developed a tacit understanding similar to telepathy.
"Fire!"
As the main gun recoiled and vibrated, and with the help of the loading auxiliary equipment around him, the loader almost instinctively dragged another armor-piercing round into the breech of the Victor cannon as quickly as possible, but Silas Owick saw the Victor's
After the armor-piercing bullets couldn't do anything to the opponent's frontal armor, he immediately changed his mind.
"Replace with armor-breaking bullets!" (Bringing British tradition, don't throw it away!)
A few seconds later, everyone felt something hit the side of the car, but luckily it didn't penetrate.
While Silas Orwick was busy, he saw the icon of a vehicle of the Camelot detachment dim, and the heat erupted when the armored vehicle was destroyed covered the auspicious screen.
In just ten minutes, the area of more than ten kilometers surrounding the ruins of the factory turned into an irregular highland full of debris. Although the Kadian 1652 Armored Regiment had superb combat literacy and fighting will, the quality of the enemy's armor
It was simply too high. Its firepower, speed and defense were all superior to their Leman Russ. There were even several armor models that they didn't recognize at all. Moreover, the quality of the enemy's armored troops was also extremely high, both in maneuvering and artillery fire.
The only advantage of the Cadian armored soldiers is their numbers.
Silas Orwick has figured out the number of enemies, and it will definitely not exceed 20!
But he quickly judged that if they continued to fight like this from a distance, they would probably fail!
The only way is to get close and then concentrate fire on the enemy's flanks and rear.
