The Emperor’s Angel of Death
Vol 2 Chapter 1776: Battle of Angstrom (12)
The Warmaster Titan is one of the largest classes of Battle Titans, second only to the Emperor-class, and until the Horus Heresy, the existence of the Warmaster-class had been kept under strict secrecy, not even by the highest-ranking members of the Adeptus Mechanicum. Discussing her openly, these mysterious war machines were secretly placed on certain Forge Worlds, sleeping in the shadows until the death of their home planet, and the first public use of this type was during the Martian Schism of the Heresy, The rogue Deathskulls have revealed their hidden Warmaster Titans, causing serious trouble for the loyalists.
The biggest feature of the Warmaster class is its firepower, especially long-range firepower. However, the powerful firepower also increases energy consumption. Therefore, the Warmaster class adopts a dual-reactor design. A secondary reactor is used to power most weapon systems, including Two suzerain-class incinerators as main weapons, and four dual-linked Adex close-in automatic cannons for dealing with light and air units, missile launchers, and dual-linked laser cannons can also be mounted on the shoulders A variety of weapons, and the defense provided by 7 sets of void shield generators is unparalleled.
However, there were only 2 Warmasters of Reza's Warmaster Legion that appeared in the Horus Rebellion, but in fact it was far more than this number, and Reza's Warmaster was comparable to Mars' Warmaster in terms of power and firepower. There are quite a few differences. The biggest difference is that the Reza Warmaster class uses two Sunfury plasma destruction cannons. This Titan weapon unique to Reza allows the Warmaster class to carry out sustained attacks that surprise other legions. And powerful firepower output.
Although it is a microgravity environment, the action of the Titans is completely unaffected. The air around the huge war machine flashes in the energy of the void shield, and it slowly advances surrounded by densely packed cathars and guards. They were accompanied by 2 Marauders and 6 War Dogs.
Then, the apocalypse-type missile launcher on Skullbreaker's huge shoulder roared and fired the first batch of missiles. A wall of flames rose from the Red Pirate's line, and the shock wave filled the surrounding kilometers with shrieking shrapnel. .
In the violent bombardment, the broken bodies of Chaos Space Marines were thrown into the air, and the demons were torn to pieces, but these were nothing compared to the shocking destruction that was coming.
Soon, ultra-high-temperature plasma was injected into the ion destruction cannons on the arms of the steel giant. The vacuum environment absorbed the powerful hissing sound, making this scene seem silent and slow. At the same time, the deadly fire on the shoulder of the Titan The cannon barrel also began to rotate, and with constant acceleration, it raised a strong wind, tearing at the red pirate's line, strafing from one end to the other, easily piercing through any armor.
When the final judgment came, the Red Pirates had already collapsed. When they turned and fled in despair, the two plasma destruction cannons radiated a star-like dazzling light, and white-hot energy roared out from the muzzles, covering the Chaos Wizard. In the position where it is located, an inconspicuous "pit" was smashed on the surface of the planet.
Although there were only less than ten Titans, the destruction they brought was inspiring, and it completely defeated the last hope of the red pirates on the satellite. Anyway, the first time Okot saw the appearance of the Titans, he called for people to flee. up.
But the wit was like he didn't run around like headless flies, but ran towards a hangar bunker that was in a melee with the remaining members of the warband, because staying on the satellite was doomed to a dead end, and the only way to survive was to grab a Set up the fighter plane and then fly away.
In fact, there are not a few Chaos Space Marines who have the same idea as him. The defeated Red Pirate landing force quickly dispersed, which caused a lot of trouble for the defenders of Liuli 3, and many underground hangars were destroyed. Invasion, and the narrow environment is obviously conducive to individual powerful Chaos Space Marines, and even the entire flight deck of some hangars has been occupied.
Faced with this unexpected factor, Soshyan arranged for the Tearmen and Ascetics to put troops on Liuli 3 to assist the defenders in eliminating those sporadic and remnant enemies. At the same time, in order to release the landing force, the two battle barges also had to change direction, which gave the Red Corsair fleet the opportunity, and they quickly left the battlefield with a perfect collective right turn.
It wasn't until this time that Soshyan realized that the opponent's real purpose was not to destroy the Star Fort, or that destroying the Star Fort was just a gamble. The real goal was to put a small amount of troops on the surface of the satellite and use them to interfere with the Empire and create chaos. This creates an opportunity for the main fleet to leave. Obviously, the fleet commander of the Red Pirates is very clear about psychology. Knowing that those Chaos Space Marines will definitely try their best to invade the hangar of the Empire under desperate circumstances, this is far more than asking them to go to the Hangar. Attacking Star Fort is much easier.
There was no suspense in the subsequent battles. The Red Pirates' main fleet retreated very methodically, instead of blindly escaping, they would occasionally shoot blocking shots at the Imperial fleet. After getting rid of the harassment of the satellite fighter formation, their range advantage was brought into play. After coming out, Soshyan didn't dare to chase deeply, so he could only let the opponent leave the galaxy after destroying some small warships.
With the defeat of the Red Pirate Fleet, the first large-scale naval battle of Badab's expedition came to an anticlimax.
In this Angstrom naval battle, the two sides invested more than 20 capital ships and hundreds of small and medium-sized warships. The entire battle lasted 16 hours.
In the end, according to post-war statistics, the empire lost 2 heavy cruisers, 3 strike cruisers, 4 light cruisers, and 26 destroyers.
The Red Corsairs lost 2 large cruisers, 1 heavy cruiser, 5 massacre-class cruisers, 6 light cruisers, and 39 frigates.
Not long after the war, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Soshyan received secret information that the Red Pirate Fleet was attacked by the Third War Zone Fleet led by Korsaro Khan after breaking away from the Angstrom galaxy. After a short battle between the two sides, the Red Pirates lost another Slaughter-class cruiser and 4 destroyers. The Conqueror-class battleship Sorrow was seriously damaged, and its engine was severely damaged again in the subsequent battle with the Third Theater Fleet. The destruction could no longer keep up with the fleet, and it was finally abandoned by the Red Corsairs after evacuating the crew and torpedoed.
As for the personnel, if only the space fighters are counted, then the empire side has almost no losses, only 49 battle monks from various chapters died in the rebound gang operations and naval battles, while the red pirate side only recovered from the battlefield. According to a relatively complete estimate of the corpses, the Red Pirates lost 2,541 space fighters, but considering that many were directly wiped out in naval battles or only a few fragments remained, the number is likely to exceed 5,000!
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Therefore, the Battle of Angstrom is likely to become the battle that wiped out the largest number of heretic Astartes in a single battle since the Empire's Great Rebellion.
