While Silas Owick was waiting, the reconnaissance squadron responsible for enemy search had confirmed that a group of armored vehicles painted with heretical runes was approaching quickly. There was no doubt that this should be the vanguard of the enemy's armored force.
As time went on, more reports came in that the enemy appeared to be overly armored, but the signal could not be confirmed and the number could not be judged as the enemy armored vehicles began to turn and attack the surrounding Chimeras who were conducting reconnaissance.
】
The two sides were very close.
"All detachments, lift restrictions on artillery fire. After the engagement, focus on destroying the heavy and super-heavy armor of the heretics. The traitors will be eliminated by the Broadsword detachment and the Black Wolf detachment."
Orwick barely raised his voice, but he made sure everyone could hear his plan.
"All fighter units will conduct key strike missions as soon as possible after the enemy armored forces have engaged. All vehicle crews will maintain a low-key operation. The number of enemies is currently unclear."
He did not ask his subordinates to reply with orders to confirm that the enemy was already nearby, and the less frequent the communication, the lower the possibility of being detected.
Their mission is to block rather than attack, so Orvik hopes to maximize the firepower advantage of the Leman Russ tank and launch artillery fire over a long distance. As for the Kriegs, he does not know where the opponent is from beginning to end. , and didn’t plan to ask.
The Cadian will not rely on others to achieve a victory.
At this time, the gunner has started the operation panel and input various shooting elements such as current wind speed, atmospheric pressure, temperature and scale into the target indicator through the manual input interface.
Soon, Ovik felt a subtle low-frequency vibration. It was not a feeling heard by the ears, but a feeling felt by people through bones and flesh.
The outline image of a Sikaran battle tank appeared in the scope, and at the same time, many trucks and armored vehicles followed behind, as well as a large number of traitors inside.
There were no Predators, just a few Sikarans, and it seemed the enemy had no idea there was an ambush.
But Ovik is even more looking forward to the appearance of the "super-heavy armor" mentioned in the investigation.
However, the enemy was about to rush over, and they could only carry out their original plan.
"Fire!"
The Camelot anti-tank armored vehicle of the "Longbow" detachment first fired the hunter-killer missile, and quickly and automatically loaded the second missile after the first one, firing 9 missiles in almost two seconds.
But the moment the Hunter-Killer missile flew out, Sikaran immediately began to maneuver and emitted a large amount of metal platinum strips and smoke.
Orvik stared at the observation mirror carefully. The thunder of metal rolled across the ground. The explosion shook every piece of armor of the tank. The roaring sounds of many engines and the roar of shrapnel were mixed with the rumbling explosions, filling it with various shapes, shadows and lights. caught his eyes.
The missiles blew up those vehicles and light armor, sending parts flying everywhere, and they were swaying here and there, but the few Xikaran vehicles began to retreat intact.
He realized that he had underestimated these heavy vehicles inherited from the era of the Great Crusade.
"Aim for that Xikaran!"
"shooting!"
The Victor's cannon joined the chorus of the battle with an angry roar. The anti-armor round struck the front of the Sikaran and tore off one of its secondary guns. Then the breech bolt jumped back in front of the loader and loaded. His hand immediately stuffed the next anti-armor round into the barrel.
At this time, Orvik heard the roar of the Leman Russ tank's multi-fuel engine, and then saw the "Poison Dagger" detachment begin to move forward, as if they wanted to pursue the retreating Sikaran.
"Don't move!"
Suddenly, a Leman Russ Conqueror from the Poison Dagger detachment exploded into a ball of fire, and Ovik didn't even react.
This explosion was extraordinary. It was not the kind of explosion that made a big hole or concentrated ammunition, but the entire tank instantly turned into countless scattered burning fragments.
It actually has such power——
Poison blade!
A terrifying possibility jumped into the colonel's mind.
The colonel looked away from the front sight and looked down at the auspicious screen.
A new group of enemies appeared on the right. Their signal marks were so dazzling, but he didn't recognize those models at all.
The Reaper's Scythe squad hurriedly turned to the new enemy.
Dazzling high-intensity lasers streaked across the ruins. The Red Corsair Saber assault tank took the lead and directly destroyed an Annihilator tank destroyer. Then the other two Annihilators, one missed due to explosion interference, and the other hit the Cruel One. The side skirt of the sword was only torn off into a piece.
The second shot of the Cruel Blade directly destroyed the second Annihilator of the Sishen Scythe detachment, and the remaining one had to release smoke and start to move.
"Change the formation! 1-2-4 prepared formation change!"
Silas Owick decisively ordered the change of formation, and at the same time, his car began to move. The sound of gear bites echoed in the crew cabin, showing a unique rhythm.
"Loading complete!"
"Hit that big guy!"
The Leman Russ tank trembled as the victor's cannon fired. The colonel stared closely at the big thing no less than a poison blade. However, to his disappointment, the cannonball bounced off the opponent's round turret.
The "Cadian Pride" also fired a shot, hitting the opponent's frontal armor, but only making a dent.
Twisted runes and tactical icons crowded together like a swarm. The tanks of the Cadian 1652 Armored Regiment still maintained their superior terrain and unleashed deadly artillery strikes with all their strength.
They suffered some losses, but also destroyed a Sikaran through concentrated fire, but the right wing suffered a side attack. The enemy obviously intended to eliminate the most threatening fighter detachment first.
"Loaded."
The loader pulled down the breech handle and suddenly closed the rear of the gun. The green light came on. The gunner was already adjusting the muzzle to lock on the enemy's brutal blade. At this time, the driver also stopped the evasive maneuvering tank in time. Everyone almost Without saying a word, they had a tacit understanding similar to telepathy.
"Fire!"
As the main gun recoiled and vibrated, and with the help of the loading auxiliary equipment around him, the loader almost instinctively dragged another armor-piercing round into the breech of the Victor cannon as quickly as possible, but Silas Owick saw the Victor's After the armor-piercing bullets couldn't do anything to the opponent's frontal armor, he immediately changed his mind.
"Replace with armor-breaking bullets!" (Don't throw away the British tradition!)
A few seconds later, everyone felt something hit the side of the car, but fortunately it did not penetrate.
While Silas Orwick was busy, he saw the icon of a vehicle of the Camelot detachment dim. The heat erupted when the armored vehicle was destroyed covered the auspicious screen.
In just ten minutes, the area of more than ten kilometers surrounding the ruins of the factory turned into an irregular highland full of debris. Although the Kadian 1652 Armored Regiment had superb combat literacy and fighting will, the quality of the enemy's armor It was too high. Its firepower, speed and defense were all superior to their Leman Russ. There were even several armor models that they didn't recognize at all. Moreover, the quality of the enemy's armored soldiers was also extremely high, and both maneuvering and artillery attack were perfect.
The only advantage of the Kadijian armored soldiers is their numbers.
Silas Orwick has figured out the number of enemies, and it will definitely not exceed 20!
But he quickly judged that if they continued to fight like this from a distance, they would probably fail!
The only way is to get close and then concentrate fire on the enemy's sides and rear.
What is needed at this time is decisiveness.
