The other riders roared forward in the flying dust. At this time, a ping-pong-pong sound suddenly came from the distance, which sounded very hollow.
"Huh? What's the noise?"
Suddenly, the motorcycle rider discovered that the gunner of the Bison armored vehicle had his head missing and his body rolled down from the gun position.
He screamed in surprise, quickly grabbed his weapon, and began to pour firepower in the distance.
"We were attacked!"
He fired and shouted into the communicator.
"We are under attack!"
In an instant, a missile blew the Bison armored vehicle next to him into the air, and also exploded his body into a pile of burnt minced meat.
"Enemy attack! A large number of enemies appear!"
The communication channel suddenly exploded, and the soldiers began to mutter the prayers taught to them by the priest. Colonel Dro Acat ordered the driver to drive the command vehicle to a mound, and the weapons team on board began to move toward
Missiles were launched from the edge of the foothills covered with dry shrubs.
At the same time, with the gradual enemy attack, the convoy also slowed down, and enemy artillery fire roared from all directions like raindrops.
At first it was just a few sporadic shots, but now the firepower has become fierce and rapid.
"Defensive formation! Counterattack!"
Colonel Acat shouted Kadian's war cry while deploying on the command vehicle.
Through the car window, he could see the body of the gunner of a Bison armored vehicle next to him hanging on the weapons rack, and the sunlight shining through the holes in the body to the ground.
Then an infantryman rushed to the armored vehicle, threw the body aside, and frantically began to set up an automatic cannon and start firing.
At the same time, the sentry mechas also began to move, firing bullets after bullets at the enemy with large-caliber automatic cannons.
"Reconnaissance company, find the enemy's main assembly direction, all companies, prepare to assemble Hellfire tanks to attack!!"
Colonel Acat was shouting into the miniature communication bead. Various voices came and went in the communication channel. He used his huge voice to try to suppress the sound.
Da Jinya stood outside the car, holding the handle of the heavy felling machine gun tightly with his two big hands, pouring bullets onto the hill on the right.
At this time, several Chimeras had been destroyed, and a Sentinel mecha was also hit. It cracked due to the violent explosion, the metal armor plate was blown to pieces, and countless broken fragments were scattered in the dust.
At this time, the enemy had basically appeared. A large number of cultists emerged from hidden positions and began to attack the 99th Regiment. Behind them were machine guns, heavy explosive bombs, a small number of artillery and an unknown number of rocket launchers.
The Cadians were well-trained and calm in every situation, and quickly launched a counterattack against the enemy. At the same time, the Chimera armored vehicles began to focus on the enemy's firepower points.
The moment the two sides came into contact, the sound of the bayonet sinking into the flesh and the screams sounded at the same time.
"Cerberus! Gather together! Two companies and three companies, drive out the enemies on the east side! Basilisk team, level the slope at 3 o'clock for me!"
Colonel Acat stood in the turret of the command vehicle, with half of his body exposed, observing the battlefield situation and making adjustments to the troops.
The enemy's ambush was a little more severe than he expected, but it was still under control. These light infantry would soon be ruthlessly crushed by the armor.
The cultists kept approaching the convoy, and under the fire of countless weapons, there was little difference between their charge and death.
But this does not mean that their firepower is not threatening. The colonel saw that one of his company commander's left arm below the shoulder was smashed while commanding, his body flew backward, and finally fell to the ground and twitched continuously.
The medical soldier rushed towards the company commander, grabbed the struggling officer and tried to calm him down, but the other officer was struggling like a crazy cat, and the aorta in the stump was constantly spurting blood. If he could remain calm,
, then he will not die from the massive bleeding of the residual limb.
The colonel saw several Chaos heretics wearing cotton uniforms and masks rushing toward them across the open field. He could tell the barbaric aura on these people, the marks of the dark gods engraved on their armor,
Even just a glance made the colonel feel uncomfortable.
At this time, with two clicks and then a fierce fire accompanied by a heat wave, the Cerberus's flamethrower strafed the edge of the battlefield, and the fierce flames cut the enemy troops apart like a hurricane blowing away hay.
The enemy's offensive was broken down almost instantly.
Just when Colonel Acat was about to order the entire army to press forward, suddenly, Big Gold Tooth, who was guarding near the armored vehicle, roared.
"Rocket!"
Colonel Acat instinctively retracted his body into the armored vehicle, and then there was a fierce burst of armor and a roar that was enough to burst his eardrums.
He was almost knocked unconscious, and when he opened his eyes again, smoke was already billowing from the car.
The command vehicle was shot, but did not explode. He glanced at the cockpit. The driver's broken body was hanging on the chair, and there was a scorched hole in front of him. The co-pilot's chaplain left the command vehicle very early to go to the front to boost morale.
, and thus escaped disaster.
"Ahem——"
Colonel Acat emerged from the turret and saw Big Gold Tooth lying not far away, covered in blood, but his chest was still heaving.
At this time, he felt that his vision was covered with a layer of red, so he touched his forehead and found blood on his hand.
Although his whole brain was still shaking, the colonel couldn't care less because he heard the screams.
The Chaos Space Marines appeared. They were giants wearing black armor. They were wielding battle axes and harvesting the crowd wantonly. At the same time, some of them were using armor-piercing rockets to shoot at the Chimeras who were staying in place. The scene was very chaotic.
But there is no doubt that the formation of the 99th Regiment is being torn apart. Their armor advantage was lost due to the sudden entry of the enemy Astartes. The Chimera hurriedly turned to deal with the new enemy, but was attacked by rockets from the side one after another.
, paralyzed on the ground.
"Emperor——"
Colonel Acat immediately realized that the situation was not good. Perhaps they were not afraid of these dozens of Chaos Space Marines in the distance, but now the two sides were so close——
Suddenly, he found one of the heretics holding a huge battle ax looking at him, and he was holding half a bloody corpse in his hand.
It's the pastor's.
Then, the heretic laughed loudly, threw down the body, and began to run towards Akat's position.
Akat took out his pistol and shot at the opponent, but the laser just bounced off the armor.
But suddenly, the heretic stopped and turned around.
Colonel Acat was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized why the other party did this, because he felt it too.
The ground is shaking.
Something is approaching——
He turned his head and saw an astonishing scene.
A cloud of sand and dust rolled up from the hot ground, and in the dust that filled the sky, faintly visible were the cavalry charging in formation.
They wore dark gray military uniforms, old-fashioned gas masks and domed steel helmets. The war horses were also covered with dark gray robes, and they held melta lances tightly in their hands.
What's even more astonishing is that every cavalryman is exactly the same in terms of attire and body shape, as well as their war horses. There is no difference at all. They are like countless ghosts of one person, accompanied by the thundering sound of horse hooves and the roar of the sky and the earth.
It comes, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression.
