Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

They soon reached the precarious defense line. Colonel Everett stood on the roof of the car and watched the Ogryn apes and rebels raging on the defense line.

"Eleven o'clock, aim at the Ogryn. Fire!"

The Leman Russ Executioner's plasma cannon flickered before firing a blast of hot, bound plasma at the Ogryn.

The scorching plasma directly passed through that Ogryn ape-man, except for his two calves, the remaining body tissues were directly vaporized by the high temperature.

The blue plasma cluster continued to fly forward until it hit the Aegis blast-proof wall as a cover. The entire plasma cluster exploded directly, and the scorching plasma splashed on the surrounding rebels, and those rebels died instantly. There was no sound.

Similar things happened at several other intersections. Colonel Everett had already told his soldiers the next battle plan: attack, as a spearhead.

As Colonel Everett opened fire, the Leman Russ company behind him unleashed a salvo on the rebel ranks.

Then, Everett's voice came from the communicators of the whole regiment's Leman Russ.

"For the Emperor! Mordian! Forward!"

-

The most typical characteristic of the Mordian Iron Guard is probably: Discipline

The love of formation and salvo can also be understood as the pursuit of discipline.

In the book of "Only War", soldiers who choose Mordian Iron Guard have a comprehensive improvement in their own quality, but there is no shooting bonus.

Maybe salvo doesn't have very high requirements for shooting, lol

Volume 2 Flax Wind and Cloud: Chapter [-] Iron Guard! ([-])

After more than half a year of fierce fighting, the rebel army has a full understanding of the military strength of the Rogue Traders. The soldiers in the second defense zone are mainly sailors and guard soldiers. Lost a lot, this has always been the weak point of Rogue Trader's defense.

Therefore, this is also the key area for the rebels to attack. Every time the defense line retreats, this is the first point to be breached. The soldiers here are trying hard to change the status quo, but they can't get effective rest and no joy of victory.

But the arrival of the Mordian Iron Guard has changed the situation here.Steel tracks rolled forward, and the appearance of the iron guards seriously disrupted the deployment of the rebel army.The Mordian Iron Guard occasionally came to Vraks to rest and resupply, but these workers had never seen how capable these guard soldiers in bright uniforms were.

Seeing Leman Russ rushing towards him, the traitor was momentarily at a loss.After the Rogue Traders gradually turned to a defensive posture, their tanks seldom escaped from the cover of infantry to carry out assault operations, and more often carried out firepower strikes under the cover of infantry.

"Doo-doo--" The rebel overseer wearing a spiked skull mask blew his charge whistle, and wielding a chainsaw sword decorated with spikes commanded the rebels to march towards the Leman Russ queue in front of them. charge.

During the battle with the Rogue Traders, the rebel army also continued to grow. For example, they discovered that Leman Russ was not as solid and reliable as it seemed in street fighting.

Especially on the battlefield where anti-tank weapons and various bombs are extremely overflowing here in Vraks.

A dozen fanatical fallen believers rushed towards Leman Russ with melta bombs in their charge. Under the cover of the crowd, they escaped Leman Russ' self-defense bolter.

three meters... two meters

"Modian! Shoot!"

The bullets formed by lasers sprayed from the rear of Leman Russ. The strict requirements of the Mordian Iron Guard for discipline filled each other with trust. The armored group believed that the infantry group appeared in the right position as they rushed.

High-explosive bombs explode around a Leman Russ.

"C-1, this is C-3, my track is broken."

"Here is C-1. C-5 goes to C-3's position. C-3 waits until the infantry catches up and repairs the tracks."

"C-5 received."

"C-3 received, may the Emperor bless you."

But not all Leman Russ of the Iron Guard are as lucky as C-3, just broke the track. During the armored assault, more than ten Leman Russ tanks were destroyed by traitor anti-tank or tanks .

Carrying out armored regiment-level tank assaults in the city is to face such a result. Without enough soldiers to cover, anti-tank weapons will attack the vulnerable parts of the tank from all corners, but the thick armor of Leman Russ has saved many The lives of tank crews.

Under the cover of the rear infantry regiment, these tank crews were successfully evacuated from the battlefield and returned to the rear of the battle line, where the new Leman Russ was waiting for the crew to settle in.

Taking advantage of the rebel army's unstable foothold, the Mordian iron guards regained the lost second defense line, but now it was their turn to face the frantically modified solid defense line in Fort Vraks.

In Fort Flax, both traitors and loyalists set up the defense line as airtight as possible. The absolute difference in numbers made Siegel unable to fight back at all, and as time went by, Siegel also There is no reserve team that can take back the position when the rebels' foothold is not stable.

Therefore, the counterattack of the Mordian Iron Guard was beyond the expectations of the rebels. The Iron Guards quickly rushed into the next block, and a tank equipped with a bulldozer rushed into the rebel defense line in the next block, but After only pushing through two layers of barricades, they were destroyed by anti-tank squads holding missile launchers in the building.

But the iron guards were unmoved, and more tanks rushed into the barricades, while the commander of Leman Russ in the rear manipulated the heavy logging gun or storm bolter on the roof to attack the windows of the surrounding buildings. Suppress the shot.

Yes, the commanders of the Mordian Iron Guard do not like to enter the tank to command, although there are auspicious instruments in the tank to assist their observation and command.They will still choose to lie on the roof instead of entering the tank to feel the small space.

"Heavy Weapon Squad! Where are you going! Sergeant Lake, hurry up! Emperor's Fang, hurry up with your men!" the infantry company commander shouted to the heavy weapon team in the company.

Two heavy weapons teams carried the M34 automatic cannon and deployed it on the street corner. The adjustable tripod support allows the automatic cannon to be stably deployed at the desired position.

The suppression of the commanders is indeed effective, but Modian's eye-catching uniforms also make the commanders the focus of the enemy's snipers. The infantry needs to relieve the commanders from this kind of work.

Heavy stump guns and storm bolters do have some suppressive effects, but the heavy weapons squad is more than willing to give rebels a taste of autocannons.

This is great!

"Try this!"

The Mordian Iron Guard quickly occupied the enemy's first line of defense. The Mordian Iron Guard of the 507th Infantry Regiment followed closely behind the armored regiment, clearing out those close enemy light infantry units and An anti-tank team hiding in the dark.

After occupying the first line of defense, the Mordian Iron Guard did not stop to stabilize the front line, but began to attack the second line of defense.

After a short period of panic, the rebels quickly organized a group of counterattack forces. As another Leman Russ of the Mordian Iron Guard exploded, the tank commander of the armored regiment also discovered that the opponent had organized a certain scale Leman Russ fought back on the second line of defense.

Although Siegel controlled and transported a large number of vehicles from Vraks, the rebel army still has a large number of Leman Russ that can be used because the war has been less than a year, and the consumption of vehicles in street fighting is much lower than expected. .

"I found the enemy's armored force, 12 o'clock direction, C company! According to the target assigned on the auspicious instrument, shoot in two salvos! Open fire!"

Leman Russ' turrets quickly turned on the Rebel armor.

The rebels did get the upper hand, and a shell hit C Company's command vehicle.

The shell hit the mantlet of the turret and failed to penetrate.

Modian doesn't make that mistake because they always have a second guy on the same target.

Their respective targets were different, and the Mordian Iron Guards still fired a volley of artillery, and the three Leman Russes at the forefront of the rebel army were destroyed.

"C Company! Two-two catch! Free fire!"

-

Colonel Everett returned to the command position after retaking the second defense line, and at the same time used plasma cannon to destroy the rebel armor units or heavy fortifications at some unexpected angles.

The military literacy of the Vraks rebels is really high.After destroying three rebel Leman Russes, Everett gave such an evaluation. The rebels hid the weaknesses of Leman Russ very well.

If it weren't for the Executioner's main plasma cannon, the usual battle cannons really can't guarantee that they will penetrate the opponent...

The battlefield is indeed the best teacher.

However, their unauthorized offensive was blocked by the enemy, and now the two Mordian Iron Guards were trapped in the second line of defense, unable to advance or retreat.

Even the remnants of the enemy's first line of defense reorganized and tried to trap the two guards here.

Some soldiers of the 507th Infantry Regiment are already fighting the remnants of the first line of defense.

Colonel Everett is already planning to call Commissar Rudy who is on standby at the rear to drive a Poison Blade tank to blast the rebels one by one into the sky.

"This is the No. [-] Squadron of the Golden Ship Valkyrie, and has received an order to support your offensive plan."

"This is the 3rd, 5th, and 6th Armored Companies of the First Regiment of the Foster Dynasty. We will cooperate with your troops on the enemy's flank. For the Emperor! For Foster!"

The Valkyrie squadron flew close to the building, clearing the rebel soldiers behind the Iron Guard back and forth.

"Buzzing..." The multi-tube lasers melted the armor and flesh of the rebel soldiers, turning them into a pile of rotten meat.

"To ensure a safe retreat, good luck, sir!"

Thirty-two Drews tanks appeared on the enemy's flanks, smashed through the rebel bunkers with full power, and used the main guns and coaxial machine guns to attack the enemy's Leman Lu side armor and accompanying infantry.

The mobility of the Drew Tanks allows them to move around quickly.It's just that as Rogue Traders control fewer and fewer areas, the space for these tanks to play is also getting smaller and smaller.The Mordian Guard drew a lot of attention from the Rebels, which once again gave the Druse tanks room to play, and reminded the Rebels of the fear of enemy tanks everywhere at the beginning of the battle.

Volume Two, The Winds of the Flax: Chapter [-], The Fusilier and the Swordsman

The news of the two lines of defense of the rebels in the second defense area quickly spread to Siegel's headquarters. He was indeed prepared for the unauthorized actions of the imperial guards.

In combat, most of the commanders of the Imperial Guard are indeed inflexible in tactics, but it doesn't mean they won't give you a whole lot of work.

Many high-level commanders of the empire command the guard regiments in the form of missions, that is, to complete the established missions, and the means are not limited.Including Siegel also likes to use the task form to command, which is convenient, doesn't worry, and sometimes can give you some surprises.

Of course, there is also the reason why his commanding skills are mediocre.

This will allow the regiment-level command of the Imperial Guard to have a high degree of freedom, including the Mordian Iron Guard. With such an emphasis on discipline, the commander of the Imperial Guard is no worse than others.

There are many reasons behind the popularity of this command method, such as the battlefield is too large or the battlefield communication is not smooth due to various reasons.

Of course, neither of these two points fit within Vraks.

However, Siegel still acquiesced to the unauthorized actions of the Mordian Iron Guards. It is not uncommon for Rogue Traders to command the Imperial Navy and even the Imperial Guard.But the legions of these forces have instinctive resistance to the command of outsiders.

It's better to let them touch the rebels themselves.These are officers who have been educated by military schools at all levels in the empire. After encountering them, they will know the level of the opponent, and they will naturally choose the appropriate tactics.

Judging from the results, it was good. Siegel looked at the defense line that had become good again. Even if the rebels now integrated the Vlaks workers into their own army, they could not hide the fact that they were a group of rabble.

Remember to eat but not to fight.

He had already suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy once during the offensive and defensive battle of the city gate, and he could make the same mistake again.Whether it was the sudden counterattack of the Mordian Iron Guard or the mobilization of Siegel's armor, there was no timely response.

After paying the price of more than 40 Leman Russ being destroyed and more than 1000 soldiers dead, the Iron Guards successfully settled down on the defense line, and a large number of defensive weapons were redeployed to the defense line. It was replenished after three days.

Siegel's personnel are still in a very tense state, but the appearance of the Mordian Iron Guard has boosted the morale of the Loyalists a lot.

Over the next fortnight, a regiment of Cadian Stormtroopers and the Firstborn of Vostonia arrived on Vraks, and two Imperial Guards joined the third sector's shifting ranks.

The characteristics of the Cadia Lightning Army allow them to cooperate tacitly with most of the Imperial Guard.

These Vostonia eldest sons in red uniforms, bearskin hats, and beautiful beards, most of them are natural precision shooters and masters of street fighting, carrying laser guns or long laser guns that have been passed down from their families, It has a scope and a bayonet on it.

Their Low Gothic, with its strange accents and tongue-tapping sounds, is kind of funny.

The addition of 4 imperial guards allowed Siegel to raise a reserve team to deal with emergencies.But the guards who arrived later were a little troublesome.

-

Today's berthing area is extremely lively. A transport fleet from Calixis arrived at Vraks and brought Siegel the reinforcements he needed.

Since the defense line inside the fortress has been stabilized, and this fleet came from the Calixis sector, out of some considerations, Siegel personally came to the starport to take over the team.

Three Sintila fusiliers and one Bronte long swordsman came down from the cabin and were gathering in a team.

Perhaps the Obscure Star Field Command knew that it lacked talents and specially sent this group of precious Sintila. These three imperial guards have a total of 3 people, but their establishment is a standard regiment of 6 to 8000 people.

Looking at the Cintila fusiliers who had arranged the formation, this group of young soldiers still looked passable.And the equipment is even more luxurious.

Looking at the extremely gorgeous uniform worn by the soldiers of the guards, not to mention, Siegel still has some nostalgia, who doesn't have a bad time?

Although an infantry regiment, they, like the Mordian Guard, each company had a Leman Russ.

But there is also a gap between Leman Russ and Leman Russ. All Leman Russ are equipped with smoke generators, searchlights, and track guards.

And this is only the lowest configuration among them. These three infantry regiments are equipped with Leman Russ modifications that are only available in many armored regiments. Siegel even saw a Leman Russ Eraser!

Since they were all from the Calixis sector, even if they had never seen the Sintila Fusiliers, the soldiers of the Bronte Long Swordsman had heard about the style of the Fusiliers.

Besides, there were quite a few fusiliers on the same transport ship with them along the way.

Then, I saw these bare-shouldered men wearing bullet-proof armor, carrying their own light guns, monomolecular long swords and their own sword collection, passing directly through the queue of Sintila fusiliers.

The longswordsmen from the hive capital would not be dispersed because of the crowd, but the formation of the fusiliers from Sintila was knocked to pieces.

This was a disgrace to the noble-born Sintila fusiliers.

The three regiment leaders who were born in Sintila wanted to find the commander of the long swordsman to argue.The head of the long knife hand is not a vegetarian either, standing there ready to start a fight.

As a result, as soon as the heads of Xintila opened their mouths, the head of the long sword hand was stunned.

Can't understand.

Just don't understand, Sintila's grandfather only speaks Gothic.

A redneck from Bronte.The three Sintila commanders chattered a lot and then turned back to the queue like victors, while the soldiers behind them looked at Bronte's long-handed commander with mocking eyes.

Look, look, that person can't understand Gothic.

The mocking eyes that could be turned into reality almost caused the head of Bronte's swordsman to directly cut him open.

"Skadi, go and take Bronte's people away." Siegel was too lazy to come forward to uphold justice. In the end, this thing will definitely bite each other down to trivial matters during transportation.

Just separate them.

The line of defense for Bronte's swordsmen has been arranged, and they will guard underground together with their assault team and deep-sea hunters.
