Warhammer 40 A New Hope

[Avengers 1-, this time the mission is to cover and appease the ordinary people in the city who have not yet escaped from the war zone as much as possible, to facilitate the next attack] The voice of the quartermaster sounded in the transport plane. [This mission is different from the previous ones. We have a large number of allies. They will set aside a resettlement area for ordinary people in the occupied area]

[There are still many enemy units in the city, but the goal of this mission is not to annihilate them. Unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to engage in large-scale battles with enemies.]

"Avengers finished."

The [Basic Lizard Cannon] in the distance was still firing, and flashes of explosions could be seen from time to time on the streets.

In a square, the "Red Devil" stopped at a low altitude, and the crew members descended to the ground one after another using airborne ropes.

[This is the Red Devil. We have transported the Avengers to the designated area and are preparing to return to continue the transport mission.]

[This is the Avenger. We have received your reply. Please pay attention to route safety. The latest intelligence shows that there may be UFOs hovering around.]

【receive】

The [Avengers] were dropped into an area of ​​the city where no fighting had taken place yet.

The number of Astra Militarum and the Rebels fighters was not large, so the battlefield did not expand very large, resulting in some unimportant areas having no fighters for the time being.

As for this war, most ordinary people chose to hide at home, hoping to avoid this "unexpected disaster".

As mentioned before, most people don’t care what the truth is, they just want to live their ordinary lives.

"Although it's just a cover mission, we still can't let our guard down." The captain, [Skirmisher] Mox, said, "Our enemies may not just be the aliens and mutants..."

. . . . . .

boom!

The 120mm combat cannon fired, blowing the entire checkpoint not far away into the sky.

A surviving mutant soldier fired a rocket at the Leman Rust tank not far away, but it was bounced off by the latter's thick front armor.

Obviously, the various anti-armor weapons that work well against Earth's armored forces cannot have a good effect on the heavy armor of the Leman Rust tank.

Bang bang bang!

The heavy bolters on both sides of the tank opened fire, and dozens of bombs flew towards the surrounding enemies.

Almost none of the enemies hit by the bombs were left with an intact body, and most of them were left with only half of their bodies.

There is obviously an overabundance of firepower from the Warhammer world in this war, but that’s not a bad thing—at least we don’t have to fire follow-up shots, right?

Dozens of Astra Militarum and rebel soldiers followed the tank, moving slowly past the checkpoint that had been reduced to ruins.

The offensive so far has been smooth sailing thanks to the powerful firepower of the Leman Rust tanks.

However, they do not guarantee that future operations will be as smooth.

Biu!

At an intersection, a bullet suddenly fired from the opposite roof, knocking down a rebel soldier.

"Sniper!"

At the same time, several elite mutant soldiers with stealth abilities emerged from tall buildings on both sides and opened fire on the people on the street.

Biubiubiu!

"There's an ambush! Find cover!"

At this moment, several MEC robots of various models also rushed out from the street ahead, firing their heavy weapons.

The Leman Rust tank immediately launched a counterattack, and the battle cannon fired again, blowing the robot cluster in front of it to pieces.

At the same time, the heavy grenade launchers on both sides also changed their muzzles and spit out flames at the enemies in the windows on both sides.

The enemies on high ground were almost instantly suppressed by the heavy bolters, but then several mutants armed with beam and plasma weapons rushed out from the shops on both sides and opened fire fiercely at the Astra Militarum.

Several Astra Militarum soldiers were knocked down; the armor on them was not able to effectively defend against the attack of plasma weapons, and the side armor of the tank was also scorched by the incoming attack.

"Grenade counterattack!"

Several fragmentation grenades were thrown and exploded among the mutants, knocking several mutants over.

"Fight back!"

Red beams shot towards the mutants who had not yet reacted to the explosion, and at the same time, the surviving rebels aimed at them and pulled the trigger.

The mutants in ambush were knocked down one after another. Even though some of them were wearing heavy armor, they could only fall down under the saturation firepower attack.

Because they had lost the psychic network transmission device, these enemies who had been following orders and coordinating through the psychic network were somewhat confused. Just like this ambush with an unknown target, although the aliens had the advantage of terrain, their coordination was a mess.

The ambush lasted for more than ten minutes and ended with a small number of casualties on the Astra Militarum and Rebel sides and the annihilation of the ambushing party.

"Checkpoint yard! Tech, check the tanks."

After the battle, the Astra Militarum and the Rebels began to inspect the battlefield, while the technical soldiers began to repair the tanks.

"The external armor is generally fine, but the tracks are damaged and need repair."

"Just in time, we've gone deep enough."

As an advance force, they have already gone deep enough and now just need to wait for the main force to advance here.

“I don’t know what the main battlefield is like.”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A large number of armored mutants stood behind metal shelters, shooting green plasma beams one after another towards the street in front of them.

boom!

A car parked on the roadside was destroyed and several fleeing passers-by were hit and turned into ashes.

The elders deployed a large number of troops into this area, trying to use street fighting to consume the strength of the coalition forces.

This indeed worked. Without taking into account ordinary humans who did not leave in time, the coalition forces carried out a direct blanket bombing, which slowed down their offensive speed and increased the number of casualties.

Whoosh—boom!

A rocket was fired and exploded among the mutants, but the flames and impact of the explosion were offset by the energy shield provided by the mutant shield soldiers.

More mutant soldiers and machine units joined the enemy lines, solidifying them.

"This is Company D. Our attack has been hindered. The enemy's defense line is too strong. We need fire support!"

[This is the command post. Message received. Fire support is on the way. Watch out.]

Biubiubiu!

Boom boom boom boom!

The ammunition fired from the magnetic rifles hit the walls, creating holes in them, while the mechanical units bombarded the various bunkers with micro missiles.

The coalition forces were suppressed, and the aliens gained a temporary advantage in this narrow street.

But it is only a temporary advantage...

boom--

The roar of an airplane engine was heard from a distance, and a Valkyrie Vulture gunship flew over at low altitude and launched an attack on the alien position.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The airborne multiple rocket launcher fired dozens of rockets in the direction of the position, and the flames of the explosion were continuous.

Boom boom boom boom!

Boom!

A rocket exploded in a tall building nearby, and a large piece of concrete smashed into the alien position.

"Charge! Capture their position!"

After the aerial bombardment ended and the gunboats left, the Astra Militarum immediately launched a charge towards the alien positions that had temporarily fallen into silence.

Biubiubiu!

Red beams of light were fired at the remaining enemies, and various grenades were thrown into them.

Boom boom boom boom!

Amid the continuous explosions, the surviving alien troops at the front were knocked down one after another by the explosions or lasers, and the coalition soldiers began to approach quickly.

Roar!

At this moment, a monster-like roar was heard, and the remaining mutants stepped over the metal plate shelter in front of them and launched a counterattack against the oncoming coalition forces.

Several Astra Militarum soldiers were knocked flying by a Heavy Elite Mutant, but were then stabbed in the chest with bayonets by the Astra Militarum soldiers who rushed over and shouted, and were knocked over. At the same time, more Astra Militarum soldiers rushed over and shot at the enemies on the ground.

The rebels on the other side were knocked to the ground by an [Armored Berserker], and several rebel soldiers were even thrown into the air, but they were quickly killed by the grenade launchers in the hands of the Ogryn Ape-Man who was attacking with the team.

The scene became chaotic for a while. Although the charging mutants and berserkers made the MEC robots and mutant soldiers behind them, who became inflexible due to the disconnection of the psychic network, unable to provide shooting support to a certain extent, they did block this wave of coalition forces' offensive.

If nothing unexpected happens, the coalition's charge will fail due to the presence of a large number of heavy beast units on the other side, and they can only retreat and wait for the next opportunity.

Boom boom boom--!

The sounds of tracks turning and engines roaring came from the left side of the battlefield, and then a Leman Russ crashed through the wall of a shop and drove out. The heavy bolter machine guns on both sides and the heavy laser guns in the front fired at the enemy.

Large numbers of mutants were killed and the situation on the battlefield turned around again.

Biubiubiu!

A [Destroyer] located in the alien position raised its turret and attacked the Leman Russ that suddenly appeared, but the [Heavy Magnetic Cannon], which was able to deal well with most of the Earth's armored units, failed to penetrate the side armor of the Leman Russ.

The tank under attack immediately turned its turret towards the Destroyer and loaded its shells.

boom!

Although he managed to leave the spot in time with the help of his flexible mechanical legs, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the 120mm combat cannon still knocked him to the ground.

The second round was loaded immediately afterwards.

boom!

Hit head-on, the heavy armor of the fallen [Destroyer] was directly pierced through, turning it into a pile of scrap metal.

The timely appearance of tanks reversed the situation, the defending alien troops were all wiped out, and the coalition forces quickly occupied the defensive positions that originally belonged to the aliens.

And after more coalition forces arrived, the attack continued.

36. Joint Campaign (VII)

A UFO in the air that broke out of the fire blockade of the [Hydra Anti-aircraft Artillery] was entangled by a [Lightning Assault Plane] and was eventually shot down by the latter.

This foreshadowed another failure of the aliens' air support, while the coalition forces were advancing steadily, clearing out the remaining aliens in the city.

Bang bang bang!

Squeak--boom!

Tear it apart!

An armored berserker was cut in half by a roaring chainsword, while behind him, the elite troops guarding the alien base in the city were being knocked down one by one by bolters.

boom!

Wooah!

The elite mutant sniper on a high place was hit by a bullet shot from the dark and fell down from the height.

Biubiubiu!

Dang Dang Dang Dang!

A mutant turret fired continuously, but they were all blocked by the cross shield formed by psychic energy in the hand of the [Templar] charging towards him, and the psychic blade on the other arm swung out.

Click!

The turret's outer shell was split open, and the circuits and various parts inside were destroyed.

Da da da da da!

puff!

The [Skirmishers] team fired continuously with their buttless rifles, knocking down the 'compatriots' who were still controlled by the elders, and used the craniotomy blades on their arms to roughly remove the chip in their brains.

This assault force, composed of soldiers from three major human factions and Astartes monks, broke through the defenses of the base with great force and wiped out most of the defenders.

Now, they have arrived at the command post of the base, where the mutant commander-in-chief is located.

"It's dark inside, and I can't see how many people there are." The [Death], holding the Victor sniper rifle, walked out of the darkness and said, "It is possible that there are elite troops in there."

"There is a very weak psychic reaction. There may be surviving alien psychic units that can use psychic power." As the only psychic user in the team, the [Templar] said. "The true psychic strength is unknown."
