Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 257: Artillery Fire

How long ago did the war begin? As a result, a theater commander-in-chief had already died, and Li didn't want to sacrifice another one right away. Of course, if Victoria dies, it won't do anything to her own war group, but it will probably have a certain impact on the morale of the local defense forces. It's hard to say whether it's positive or negative, but it's definitely not a good thing.

"There is no difference," Victoria waved her hand and said: "The enemy is bombing the entire wilderness gate indiscriminately. It is the same wherever they stay. I really don't know how much ammunition the Eldar people brought this time, but they are so bold. ”

"Yes, bold and bold, the American tactics are actually the RPG cult." Li said this with a strange expression on his face. He really didn't expect to encounter such an enemy in this world. This was a bit too much. Well, that's a little weird.

The Eldar people are obviously using the same tactics as the Americans on Earth. They have encountered the enemy and the enemy is holding their ground. Okay, forget about everything else, just use a large number of missiles, artillery shells and bombs to hit the enemy's position desperately. But what is more funny is that Americans usually use aircraft cannons to drop bombs, while the Eldar use a large number of RPGs to drop bombs.

But having said that, the Eldar's RPG is indeed powerful.

The so-called RPG, the full name is portable rocket-propelled grenade launcher, this thing is really good, the power and range are greater than grenades, and it is easy to carry. After the improvement of the special psychic technology of the Eldar people, the power of this weapon is has been further improved.

"American tactics? Commander Li, what are you talking about?"

"Well, it's nothing. Don't worry about it. It's just meaningless talking to yourself."

"So Mr. Li, do you have any good ideas in face of such a situation?"

"A good idea?" Li closed the novel in his hand and said, "Isn't a solid defense the best way?"

"Does this mean doing nothing?"

"Not bad." Looking at Victoria's sad look, Li explained: "In fact, you don't have to worry too much at all. If it is in the wild or in a temporary defense fortification, such an attack can be considered serious. It is fatal. But for the Gate of the Wilderness, it is difficult for such an area bombing to cause substantial damage. "

The fortress defense cluster of the Wilderness Gate relies on the mountains and develops downward. Under the bunker group on the ground is a complete multi-layered underground bunker. Not only does it have a living area, but also an ammunition depot and a storage room. When the enemy bombarded them, both Lee and the defense troops followed the imperial infantry drill. The soldiers were withdrawn underground, leaving only a small number of soldiers hiding in bunkers on the surface to continue observing the enemy's situation. Under such circumstances, the Eldar's bombing did not cause much damage.

"But if the enemy continues like this, won't we just have to be beaten passively?" Victoria frowned and said, "Can't we send troops to destroy the enemy's artillery positions? How can we allow them to bombard us so unscrupulously?"

"But since we didn't suffer much damage, why don't we just stay next to each other like this?" Li said matter-of-factly: "The Spirit Tribe people have already arranged the psychic fog and gained the initiative on the battlefield. If it were in the wild, I would have already Lead the troops and leave this area. Now that I can't take the fortress with me, I will just stay in retreat. In any case, if I give up the advantage of the fortress and rush out to fight with the spirit tribe, That's exactly what they want. If this happens, the Spirit Tribe people will smile crookedly. Not to mention that we still have reinforcements, so as long as we hold on, we will win, and time is in our favor."

"But the soldiers all seemed very anxious. Such a situation of being beaten unilaterally has made many soldiers feel uneasy."

Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, we also need to consider the morale of the defense forces. This is really troublesome."

The soldiers of the Star Wars are fearless, the soldiers of Lee's banner do not know what fear is, and their morale is naturally at an all-time high for a long time. However, the soldiers of the Defense Force are just a group of mortals, hiding in bunkers and listening to the news above their heads. There were continuous bombings that almost never stopped, and looking at the injured brothers who were brought in, the top officer was still a little girl who didn't understand war at all. With no hope for the future and constant external pressure, the morale of the soldiers could only plummet in such an extreme environment.

"That's right. In this case, it's really troublesome. The enemy is hidden somewhere we can't see, but we can only hold on helplessly."

"No, what I mean by trouble is not that counterattack is troublesome. If you want to counterattack, it is very easy to achieve. I just haven't considered the morale issue for a long time." Li explained: "The enemy used artillery fire to design against us, but We can't rush out, so naturally we can only use artillery fire to fight back, and the artillery fire cluster in the fortress can also be moved using the rails, so we don't have to worry about the artillery position being exposed. The only problem is the enemy's psychic fog. It's impossible to aim, but that's not a big problem. I can send out ghost knights to guide the artillery fire. The Eldar artillery force is just a group of Eldar carrying RPGs. Their weapons need to extend their brackets when firing. Fixed. To put it simply, this is a group of completely unarmored enemies. They will inevitably suffer heavy losses under our artillery fire. But in this way, the Eldar people will inevitably change their attack mode, and the war will enter a fever pitch early. The situation is different, but our goal of delaying time is in the opposite direction, so I suggest that we let the Spirit Race people attack like this for two days. After the Spirit Race people relax, we can do it again and inflict maximum damage on the Spirit Race People. "

Victoria had nothing to say, and she fully accepted Li's opinion.

In the next two days, the Spirit Tribe people continued to bombard without interruption, but they also added a lot of small programs during the intervals between bombardments. Occasionally, after an artillery bombardment, the Spirit Tribe soldiers would follow closely behind the artillery fire. The explosion rushed to the forward position, and then entered the forward position with almost no casualties, and launched an attack posture. It seemed that it relied on excellent artillery synchronization tactics to destroy the empire's defense in one go. Posture.

Li hid in the observation post several times to watch the entire process, which made him admire the near-perfect cooperation of the Spirit Tribe people more than once. Artillery cover and soldiers charge are such a simple tactic, but in the hands of the Spirit Tribe, it has great power, because the Spirit Tribe's forwards almost charge with their feet on the explosion. As long as they rush faster, or in the If the hands of the black reapers firing barrages from behind shake just a little, these repeated Eldar warriors will die under their own shells.

With this kind of cooperation, the Eldar people have almost perfect suppression of the firepower of the fortress cluster at the Gate of the Wilderness. Often, the soldiers hiding underground wait until the enemy's bombing ends, then pick up the tools in their hands and prepare to enter. During the battle, the door of the fortress was already knocked by the Eldar people outside.

The Eldar warriors have achieved perfection, but this still cannot allow them to win.

Because even the ground positions occupied by the Eldar people are meaningless, because the empire's defense legions will soon launch a counterattack from the bottom up. In the maze-like criss-crossing narrow tunnels, trenches, trenches and bunkers, the Eldar people's The flexibility advantage has been restricted to the greatest extent. This is the home ground of the defense force.

Under the counterattack of the defense forces, the lost positions were quickly retaken. From the perspective of the Eldar warriors, the Eldar warriors who rushed into the human position under the cover of artillery fire quickly disappeared completely. Only a few warriors fled back in defeat, and most of them fled back. It was eaten like this. The gate that stood on the earth had already been smashed by the bombing of the Eldar people. Arthur had laughed at it before, and the gate of the wilderness was quickly kicked by the Eldar people. It turned into a rotten door in the wilderness, but now looking at the completely open door, Arthur Xingren felt the chill rising from the bottom of his heart. The open door seemed like a big mouth, ruthlessly The life of the one who enters the Devourer.

Li's legion was located in the most sensitive position in the entire defense system, and naturally received the special attention of the Ling tribe. However, when the Ling tribe rushed into the trenches, they discovered in horror that what they were facing were not ordinary soldiers of the defense army. Instead, they were tall iron cans. In this geographical environment where there is no way to dodge or avoid, the dexterity and speed of the Eldar people are greatly weakened, while the Knights of the Chapter are able to better utilize their advantages.

Amidst the roar of the motor, the chain sword easily tore through the psychic armor on the Eldar people, sawing them open and letting blood spray. The escaping Eldar could not escape the sniping attacks of the Ghost Riders.

In short, in Li's opinion, since both sides were in a testing period in the early stage, and the Ling people were still carefully exploring the weaknesses of the fortress, the defense in the first three days of the siege was relatively easy.

If possible, Li naturally hopes to extend this ease, but he cannot ignore the morale of his friendly forces.

No matter what, the defense forces need a victory, even the smallest victory. They need a victory to boost their morale and strengthen their confidence.

As long as the soldiers don't have thoughts like "We can only be beaten, except for being attacked, we don't even have a chance to fight back." This kind of thinking will be fine.

So on the third day of the siege by the fog, the artillery of the defense forces began to show their power.
