Warhammer: Starting with Industrial Revolution
Chapter 104: The Counterattack of Caron No. 2
Although the main Greenskin force is launching a fierce attack on the Hive of Caron II, they have still left a large number of scouts behind.
As they watched the Imperial transport ship slowly descend, they immediately let out a piercing wail.
The green-skinned animals roaming around the area stirred at the sound, rushing towards the landing zone like hyenas smelling blood.
When the landing craft was still about fifty meters above the ground, countless rockets and bouncy boys with jetpacks roared up and pounced.
Just then, the hatch of the first landing craft suddenly opened.
Twenty combat nuns clad in black, high-tech power armor leaped out like death angels descended from heaven.
The sanctified power swords in their hands gleamed with a pale golden light, and with almost instinctive slashes, they instantly cleaved several bouncy boys who rushed forward in two.
At the same time, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher, accurately detonating two rockets that were about to hit the landing craft in mid-air.
The moment they landed, they immediately formed a tight battle formation, and a tidal wave of green-skinned creatures instantly surrounded them.
But as expected of the Battle Sisters, they quickly adjusted their stance, their power swords flashing in bloody arcs, instantly slicing hundreds of green-skinned boys into pieces; the bolters never stopped firing, each bullet precisely blowing off a green-skinned boy's head.
As expected of the Empire's top mortal combat force, comparable to Astartes, a team of only twenty people easily cleared out all the greens around the landing site like a black whirlwind.
Seizing this precious opportunity, the transport ships lowered their altitude and opened their hatches simultaneously.
Garan's carefully selected 5,000 elite soldiers rushed out, cooperating seamlessly and covering each other, quickly forming a square defensive formation.
A barrage of bullets rained down, knocking down swarms of green-skinned soldiers who had rushed in from afar.
They formed an unbreakable human wall, slowly advancing outwards and continuously expanding the area of the landing zone.
Meanwhile, in the center of the position, transport ships were landing one after another, continuously dropping soldiers, tanks, and supplies.
Three hours later, the entire army of 200,000 finally landed.
The battle nuns also withdrew from the front lines.
Even though they were like superhumans, after three hours of non-stop fighting, they were exhausted, their power armor covered in the blood and bits of flesh of the green-skinned warriors.
Only at the very end did the Mechanical Church's scientific research vessel slowly descend.
Three hundred elite guardsmen stepped forward first, their molten steel guns and plasma rifles gleaming coldly; followed closely by hundreds of fighter jets, marching in perfect unison.
Finally, a specially modified heavy truck, escorted by more than a dozen low-ranking priests, slowly drove out.
Behind the truck, a huge sealed metal box was being towed.
The box was covered with intricate mechanical inscriptions and exorcism spells, and three thick alloy chains were tightly wrapped around it, locking the box securely.
Luo Ning glanced at the large iron box with curiosity.
He had never seen Viktor use his true skills in battle before, and for a moment he couldn't guess what was going on.
However, knowing Viktor as he did, he knew he wouldn't get an answer even if he asked, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
When the time comes, Victor will naturally reveal the answer.
At this time, the entire army had completed its deployment according to the predetermined plan.
The infantry formed a three-tiered, mutually protective fan-shaped formation, like three steel walls, firmly protecting the heavy firepower and mobile command post in the center.
Wide passages were deliberately left between the formations to facilitate tank assaults at any time.
On both sides of the line were mobile units composed of Chimera armored personnel carriers, supplemented by a small number of scouts, constantly on guard against the Greenskins' flanking maneuvers.
At the very back of the front line was Ronin's reserve force, responsible for clearing out any stray greenskins flanking from behind, ready to support the most critical front lines at any time.
The core of the entire force's firepower consisted of six petrified lizard self-propelled artillery pieces lined up in a row.
They possess a range and power far exceeding that of the Lemanrus, and will provide devastating long-range fire support for the entire army.
In front of the self-propelled artillery were thirteen Leman Rustamsk tanks.
This is all the wealth that Chaodu has produced over the past few months, squeezing out every last drop of labor and working overtime.
Viktor also personally participated in the modification, adding multiple heavy firepower points to the tank body, allowing infantry to ride in the tank and sweep away approaching enemies with heavy machine guns and flamethrowers.
The reason why the infantry corps at the front did not connect but formed square formations was to allow tank units to launch an attack at any time to deal with the Greenskin bosses, or even the War Bosses, who were difficult for ordinary infantry corps to handle.
Bishop Moraes and his priests, representing the state church, have been assigned to various infantry formations.
They held aloft the imperial statue and chanted prayers in hushed tones.
A divine blessing enveloped the hearts of every soldier, helping them dispel their fear of the Greenskins.
Victor, along with his friars and battle nuns, guarded the mobile command post.
As long as the enemy can still be dealt with using soldiers and artillery, there is no need to use their trump cards.
The army began to slowly advance.
More and more Greenskins discovered the Imperial forces attacking from the rear, let out excited howls, abandoned the siege of Hive City, and surged towards Rhonin's army like a tidal wave.
For them, these moving lumps of iron and cans of flesh and blood were clearly more interesting prey than the impenetrable steel city.
"Sir, the tail end of the green-skinned army has entered the attack range of the petrified lizards." Garan pointed to the holographic map and reported to Ronin immediately.
Luo Ning nodded slowly.
He picked up the communicator and dialed the channel of the garrison at Caron II. His voice was calm yet carried immense power:
"Colonel Fisher, thank you for your hard work. We've arrived."
He immediately put down the communicator and issued an order to the entire army: "All self-propelled artillery units, aim at the green-skinned group and fire freely!"
The moment the order was given, the six petrified lizard self-propelled artillery pieces simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar.
High-explosive shells, trailing long tongues of fire, ripped through the dark red sky and crashed into the green ocean like a meteor shower.
Huge explosions rang out one after another, and mushroom clouds rose up from the green-skinned group.
Countless green-skinned soldiers were blown to pieces in the flames, with broken limbs and wrecked tanks flying everywhere.
At the same time, they successfully attracted the attention of the main force of the greenskins. Countless greenskins of varying sizes, but all filled with excitement and fighting spirit, began to rush towards them.
The counterattack of Caron II has officially begun.
