God Emperor’s Angel of Death

Exercise 3rd day, 9:45 in the morning

Terlocklis Plain

His name is Lucian Hiros, and he belongs to The fourth armored regiment of the Astral Knight Auxiliary Army is also the spearhead of the Chapter Ground Auxiliary Army.

But today is different, today he will be the defender.

This made him feel uneasy, but he was powerless, because the command came directly from the Chapter Chief.

If there is something embedded in his body from the first training days, it is only one-no matter what happens, resolutely obey orders.

The intermittent firelight illuminates the mountains on the other side of the plain, emitting harsh, pale rays of light.

The bright flame streamers are like teardrops of fluorescent powder, leaving burn marks in the night sky.

The process of retreating from the fort was long and arduous, and the ruthless and tenacious pursuit of the attackers made it even worse.

Those warriors who play the enemy are like piranha following the bloody smell in the water. They never give up, never let go, and never stop attacking when fighting at first.

The more important thing is quantity. As defenders, they must face ten times the number of enemies.

This is the purpose of this exercise.

He doesn't know how the war is going in the rest of the area. All he knows is the dynamics of the surrounding wars. It may be a simulation, or it may also be a certain unit in an exercise.

But in any case, they seem helpless.

In the previous day’s exercise, Fort No. 11 persisted until the last person was judged to fall. The time was long enough for most of them to escape and retreat back to the positions of pilots, bunkers, and artillery. Prepared defensive circle.

Lucian jumped up and picked up his pistol from the rock beside him.

He ran through the ready checkpoint and quickly and safely reached his command post. In the process, he was always conceiving a new defense strategy.

Tallocklis Plain is generally unsafe to defend, only the Talis hills where they are located is a position with a geographical advantage.

The hills of Talis meander through this barren plain like a curved spine. Each vertebra has a curved mound, and every fissure has a series of corrugated valleys. , They canine each other's teeth, forming a hidden valley.

This is a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Every idea of ​​invasion depends on the high barriers and the connected fortresses.

But those who imagined never considered enemies with absolute superiority in numbers.

Under his feet, is a sloping wall made of compacted gravel and rapidly solidified rock concrete, sealing the valley with a series of strong fortresses and fortresses.

Lu Xian is no stranger to the speed and completeness of mechanical sculptures, but the scene in front of him is still unbelievable.

The valley became wider and deeper, and its two wings were blasted, dug, drilled, and dug out, forming a series of criss-crossed earthworks.

Less than half a day ago, his tank battalion was transferred from here. At that time, the valley was flat and empty, and the rocks were stained dark green by the tenacious lichen.

Now everything is gone; the valley is now like a quarry that has been mined for several decades. The engineers have used existing materials to build the fortress and deployed heavy firepower for ten hours. Trenches that did not exist before.

This seems to be able to block most of the enemies.

But Lucian knows that this is far from enough.

The enemy not only has a quantitative advantage, but the firepower standard given by the exercise department is also scary. The opponent’s heavy artillery is almost as many as their machine guns!

In the first day of defense, he had nearly three companies directly wiped out by artillery fire.

If he hadn't been for his cautious character and kept holding the armored battalion in his hand, it would be possible that the armored battalion would also have entered.

But even so, he paid a huge price to withdraw from the front line.

This is a difficult retreat. The enemy's frontier forces are pressing on them every step of the way.

Lu Xian is unwilling to let the enemy keep the initiative, but the absolute power of the enemy makes him have to.

The infantrymen who were still on the exercise table got a temporary respite, rested behind the high wall, and Lucian passed directly between them.

When he walked through the battlefield and came under a shadow, his anxiety was relieved again.

They are his magic weapon for victory and his last resort to turn the tide of the battle.

The huge metal body is gray-brown, with a huge main gun and various auxiliary weapons installed on it. Its side is decorated with Imperium's Skyhawk emblem and printed with Astral Knight. Of the emblem.

A whole battalion of Makado heavy tanks were deployed behind the defensive wall.

As part of the exercise, a series of battle rules and orders were issued from the remote Chapter headquarters, and strict guidelines were formulated for each company's actions throughout the battlefield.

But as the supreme commander of the battlefield, Lucian still has sufficient command flexibility.

Suddenly, he saw Captain Kent Ruspel standing on the steps, listening to the scout's reconnaissance report-there are some light armored vehicles in the armored battalion. These vehicles are usually accompanied by tanks and are generally accepted. The command of the tank commander.

"Are there any signs, Captain."

Lucian walked over.

Kent turned around immediately and punched his chest with his fist-this is the salute inside Chapter.

"They have a lot of activities around the defense line, but there is no sign that they intend to attack immediately."

As he said, Kent's hand was inserted straight beside him, as if standing. On the parade, not on the battlefield.

"Captain, you don't need to be so formal."

Kent was nodded and changed to a more relaxed posture.

"You can see that you are eager to fight now."

As Lu Xian said, he wiped the rough dust of the mountain from the silver gray surface of his breastplate.

"Yes, sir."

Kent replied, staring at a spot on his right shoulder.

"We were born to attack."

"You are right, Captain. It would be nice to have someone like you on the side of Chapter Chapter."

"I'm serious, sir."

"Me too."

As Lu Xian answered, he climbed the steps guarding the wall and stared at the bottom of the mountain.

Kent followed him faithfully, stood beside him, ready to carry out any orders he gave.

Although they can't be seen, Lucian knows that the enemy's large forces are exploring the hills and looking for weaknesses in the line of defense.

However, after several days of observation, he noticed that although these enemies have certain tactics, they are more often executed very recklessly. There will be a very protracted process.

During the offensive process, it will become quite chaotic again, the infantry coordination is very poor, and it is often judged that it has caused serious artillery injuries to its own side, and the vehicles are often mixed in the infantry group to move.

All these characteristics add up, it is hard not to remind him of a kind of Xenos——

green leather.
