Amidst the sizzling noise, Occam's cold voice sounded.
"We have some... we still need further confirmation... You guessed... Yes, they are looking for something. The gene stealers underground... are almost killed by them. That thing... is dedicated to...
Run wherever there are living creatures...probably to avoid being chased by...the skinners..."
"Then do you have enough manpower here?"
"Enough... the rust-seekers in Ulan Huda... enough... useless in numbers..."
"Okay, then if you find anything, let me know as soon as possible."
"clear..."
After hanging up the communication, Soshyan thought for a moment and turned back to the temporary command post. At this time, several huge flexible screens hung from the top of the command post, gathering together the images transmitted by hundreds of servo skulls.
The armored forces preparing to launch the attack took up a position one kilometer away from the refinery. Although they only had 21 vehicles, they were all overweight armored.
Soshyan picked up one of the dozen communicators and then said:
"Your task is to draw them out. The aliens cannot resist the desire to attack you. You are huge, but at the same time you are isolated. This means that you are an enemy worth fighting but also fighting alone. This combination of strength and vulnerability
It will give them unrealistic illusions, which is a trap."
"Yes, Chapter Leader!"
All the crew members answered in unison.
"Then attack, for the emperor!"
"For the Emperor!"
On the screen, the huge tank began to rumble forward, and at the same time the artillery far behind began to spit out rounds of small missiles. These missiles would be precisely guided to focus on less critical parts of the enemy, and then the Cruel Blade's main gun fired a deadly blast.
The sound joined the song of destruction played by the artillery.
Viewed from a high-altitude view, continuous missiles and artillery shells exploded among the aliens, with debris and debris spraying into the air, and then the aliens began to commotion.
Soon, Genestealers were everywhere, while a large number of off-road vehicles, motorcycles and other vehicles continued to pour out of the solid metal warehouse.
They gathered together at an extremely fast speed and began to rush towards White Temple's super-heavy armored troops despite the artillery fire. Soshyan's assessment was correct. They could not resist the temptation to attack these huge war machines without infantry cover.
The Genestealers' tactics are also very simple. Motorcycles outflank from both sides, and vehicles attack from the front to attract firepower. As long as they close the distance, the motorcycle team can use magnetic bombs to blow off the tank tracks. Afterwards, they may even capture these valuable war machines.
——Compared to civilian vehicles, these are what they need and desire most.
Even in order to achieve this goal, they went all out from the beginning. Hundreds of motorcycles stirred up dust in the sky under the gunfire, howling and rushing towards the steel behemoth regardless of life and death, quickly closing the distance with the heavy tanks - even
They are completely unfamiliar with these armors.
However, the reaction of the overweight tanks was completely inconsistent with their size. As they quickly began to retreat, the Sikaran formation separated to the left and right, and then 16 twin-mounted Hercules automatic cannons opened fire. (Twin-linked cannons)
In an instant, countless burning wreckage bounced in the sand and dust. The alien motorcycle team instantly seemed to have hit an invisible giant wall, and the group at the head was instantly torn into burning pieces.
The Sikaran's excellent fire control ensures that they can aim at small targets at high speeds, but the Genestealers' fearlessness of death is also clearly demonstrated. They are like soldiers charging against heavy machine guns, rushing forward and fighting to the death.
The vehicles on the front were not in trouble either. Brutal Blade used the tactic of twin accelerating cannons firing in turns to maintain continuous firepower. Those vehicles were constantly blown into pieces as they moved. Even if they occasionally avoided by maneuvering, the explosion of large-caliber artillery would
The air waves were enough to overturn them.
Soon, the reckless attack turned into a catastrophic massacre. At this point, the gene stealers obviously couldn't stop. Their attention was completely attracted by the overweight armored troops outside the stronghold, so they invested more force.
.
In the diffuse smoke and dust, dozens of larger vehicles began to appear.
It was a huge armored vehicle with four thick wheels. It was taller than Leman Russ and had weapons inserted in all directions. The rough symbols of the Alien Order were painted on the sides of the vehicle.
Thick smoke billowed from the exhaust pipe. A huge laser cutter on the side of the front of the car was staring at the moving super-heavy tank. There were two heavy machine guns on the roof controlled by two gunners. There was a thick and huge armor plate on the front of the car.
There are buckets and crushing gears installed on it, and it runs like a crazy beast.
This is the last weapon of the gene stealers, the Goliath heavy truck. It is a very common mining vehicle in the empire. It can be manufactured using the extremely common STC template. It was originally designed to be responsible for underground engineering and tunnel construction.
, its tight and solid structure can withstand all kinds of harsh underground environments, and the permanent magnetic steel that has been chemically layered and folded can resist most industrial hazards. Even without modification, Goliath can still survive an acid storm.
, survived hurricanes, ionization failures and volatile poisonous explosions, and the one with baffles and gravel gears is the Goliath Rockbreaker. This model has a denser and stronger structure and can even withstand some heavy firepower.
It is also an important means for the Genestealers to resist the heavy combat servitors and combat soldiers of the Skitarii.
Now they have even pulled out such a trump card.
Behind Goliath are more motorcycles and off-road vehicles, showing the courage to not give up until these armors are taken down.
Seeing this, Soshyan realized that the time had come, so he picked up another communicator.
"It's time to move."
Soon, the roaring thunderhawks and stormbirds pierced the clouds and rushed to the ground, and before the genestealers could react, they delivered the deadly angel of death to their hearts.
At the same time, the Skitarii, which had been silent, also took action with extremely fast efficiency, launching attacks on the aliens from three directions.
At the same time, a large number of storm claws also fell from the sky and began to attack the armored convoy of the gene stealers. When the missiles they launched were like arrows, piercing into the interior of those bulky Goliaths from above, the solid shells could not save them.
In the violent explosions, the gene stealers paid the heaviest price for their reckless behavior.
At this time, it was impossible for them to return. These armored convoys simply turned around and started running towards Coke Oven City. At this time, they did not receive any attacks. This also led to the rapid fall of the storage area and the general control area.
The thieves began to flee desperately towards the only escape route.
After only three hours, the refinery was completely recovered, and a large number of gene stealers will also be "baptized" by the Hell Cavalry and Space Marine motorcycle teams in the unobstructed wilderness. If there are lucky ones who can return to the Scorch Oven
City, they will bring everything they have encountered and witnessed, and tell the bishops and patriarchs that something more terrifying is coming, and they must make a choice.
Should we continue to resist on the ground, or retreat to the dangerous underground——
