Five hundred meters away, the gunner of the "Hammer of Orvik" has locked onto a shooting Chaos Terminator. From the appearance, it looks like a steel bipedal beast, with two long fangs extending from the helmet to the In front of him, the assault gun in his hand was pointed at the Leman Russ tank.
Their armor is strong enough to withstand direct hits from most infantry heavy weapons, making them a difficult target for infantry and Chimeras.
Even the Astartes need to be cautious against these powerful individual armors.
But Leman Russ Vanquish's armor-piercing projectiles are enough to tear through the canine Titan's front armor under extreme circumstances. The only problem is the hit.
However, Ovik was very clever and kept the victors from firing. Therefore, although the Red Pirate's terminator was trying hard to keep moving and firing, it was still unprepared for the cannon aimed at itself.
Then, the roar of the victor's cannon sounded again. Just as a Terminator was about to move, the entire upper body was directly wiped out. At this time, the "Cadian Pride" also hit another Terminator who had just hid behind the bunker. There is no doubt that , it was also destroyed along with its own bunker.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, another Terminator immediately ran back behind a pile of building ruins, and at the same time opened fire on the "Hammer of Orvik" with the automatic cannon in his hand.
The extremely accelerated shell hit the front of the turret of the Leman Russ Victor tank, and was then thrown to the nearby ground. Part of the armor was also hit with a sunken crater, and the instantaneous high temperature slightly melted the metal around the edge. Black marks are formed.
"One got away and I couldn't see it."
"Load high-explosive rounds."
Two high-explosive bombs hit behind the ruins of the buildings. The huge impact blew a large amount of debris into the sky, and the Chaos Terminator had to escape and return to the cover of his own team.
After figuring out the enemy's position, the Leman Russ tanks quickly maneuvered. At this time, more heat signals appeared, but the Leman Russ tank did not slow down. Instead, it fired while using its hull to provide cover for the infantry.
At this time, the armored forces had basically determined their respective shooting targets, and huge sparks and smoke erupted from the ruins. Some Chaos Space Marines even had to lie on the ground to find cover.
They might be able to fight one against a hundred, but with the coordinated cooperation of infantry and armor, they could not show their strength at all. They could only keep cursing Dietrich who abandoned them and ran away.
There were also some who tried to use the terrain to drag Cadian into close combat, but they were faced with the most elite Cadian troops. Under the command of Creed, they advanced and retreated in a controlled manner and had perfect firepower deployment. They only relied on the charge launched by a small number of brave men. The entire battlefield cannot be shaken.
And when the war situation is unfavorable, the Red Pirates, a common problem among Chaos warbands, began to attack. Some people wanted to resist stubbornly, but some people did not want to risk their lives here. The overall command no longer existed, so it was natural. , some people began to make false claims, and soon the entire warband fled. Many Chaos Space Marines who chose to fight to the end found themselves surrounded while fighting, and the "comrades" around them didn't know when to leave Don't.
As the Leman Russ Destroyer's Destruction Cannon launched another round of high-explosive grenades, the huge power was like a small earthquake, blowing many Chaos Space Marines behind bunkers to pieces and completely shattering the Red Pirate Sartosa. The group succeeded in almost half of its roundabout offensive this time.
The side attack was blocked, and the frontal attack of the Red Pirate Sartosa Group also encountered serious setbacks. The Weeper raid led by Malakin beheaded the Sartusa Lord who directed the attack, and those crazy demon engines were also killed by Cadian. and the poison blades and shadow swords of Modis's super-heavy armor regiment were destroyed.
In the end, the Red Pirates' desperate struggle only destroyed a few warehouses of the expeditionary force, but they paid for it with almost all of their maneuverability and vitality.

In this case, the imperial army directly launched an offensive against Shangchao.
The Red Pirates, who were short of major generals, could not resist at all. Even the fourth super-heavy armored company of the Red Pirates who fled back was unable to save the day. Dietrich and his car were killed by several Thunderhawks during the last resistance at the Governor's Mansion on the Upper Nest. He and the Storm Crow gathered fire and were blown into ruins, and the entire armored company was wiped out.
Since then, Huron has operated the Sartosa Hive for decades, and the entire Decabulus galaxy has once again returned to the control of the empire.
On the day when the Sattusa Hive fell, it happened to be the Empire's most important and grand Emperor's Ascension Festival. Helbricht, who had just arrived in the Decabulus system, immediately ordered the entire army to repair for five days.
At the same time, Herbrecht reorganized the chain of command of the Badab Theater, made certain adjustments to the original strength of the first, second, and fourth theaters, and merged the fleets in each theater into the Badab Strike Group. , under the jurisdiction of 3 squadrons, preparing for the subsequent siege of Badab.
However, there is another force in the war zone at this time, which is not in the chain of command of the Badab war zone, and that is the newly arrived red hunter.
Although they expressed their willingness to join the expedition, they were still essentially an armed force summoned by the Inquisition. When Marcus came to contact him, the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada Kotiz who issued the summons also quickly rushed When they arrived at the Maelstrom, a considerable conflict broke out between the two sides over the command of the Red Hunter. Although they did not take action, their relationship had been reduced to a hostile state.
The Red Hunters were also a little confused. They didn't know the complicated situation inside. Marcus claimed that he was now the head of the main Tribunal of the Maelstrom. This should be no problem, but it was the envoy who summoned them. Erkmada Ketiz.
In terms of class and direct relationship, they should listen to the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada Cortez, but in terms of jurisdiction, it seems that they should listen to Marcus.
In fact, they had participated in the Badab War before, and they thought it would be the same this time, but they didn't expect such a commotion.
At the critical moment, a mysterious inquisitor, Claudes, met alone with the Red Hunters' chapter leader for half an hour. After that, the Red Hunters announced that they would obey Marcus's orders and reject Torquemada Cortez's request. Private transfer order.
However, Helbrecht did not trust these "running dogs" of the Tribunal, so he arranged them alone in the Eschuna system to contain the Red Pirates' forces there.
The Red Hunter was used to being a loner and was happy to accept such orders. In this case, a simple encirclement network was formed around the Badab Galaxy.
Helbreichert immediately formulated an attack plan, which was generally based on the plan used by the Red Scorpions to command the coalition forces to siege the Badab system during the First Badab War, and applied to Soshiyan for more naval power. to drive away the Red Pirates' possible support fleet.
News returned to Angstrom, and Soshyan agreed to Hellbrecht's plan and had Kosaro Khan's fleet assist in the siege of Badab, primarily by cutting off the route from Angstrom to The route between the Badab galaxies.
At this time, the Red Pirates are still working hard to attack Angstrom, because they also know very well that if they cannot win this galaxy, the Honso Group trapped in Badab will really be a dead fish.
However, relying on the Forge World, although Soshyan's fleet and troops are not as good as the Red Pirates, they are worse than the Red Pirates because of their strong endurance. Even if the ships and equipment are damaged, they can be repaired quickly.
What's more, Angstrom has a steady supply of supplies and raw materials. After entering wartime, its production capacity increased rapidly. Various types of skitarii and armed servitors were produced at a daily rate of two million, and Entering the battlefield, the Red Corsairs had to use the lives of their precious Space Marines to make a cruel exchange of battle losses with the Empire. Many warbands were beaten down to only one or two people.
In just one week, the Red Pirates lost more than 2,000 Space Marines. Such losses have caused some of the Red Pirates' peripheral warbands to find ways to refuse to fight, and some warbands have even escaped from the Red Pirates group.
Under this situation, after Huron arranged for some war gangs to continue to harass the Endymion star cluster, he arrived in the Angstrom system in person, brought a large number of reinforcements to stabilize the morale of the army, and directed the advancement of the system.
So the pressure on Soshyan suddenly increased.
