Chapter 372 05.0371: "Let's find a companion for the Chaos Rebels and the Green Aliens"

"Sir, the troops from the first front have arrived at the second front. I have sent them to the preset positions."

"Thank you for your hard work, Major." Horatio looked at the battle situation ahead and asked the forward observation command post of the second line of defense to sound the full defense alarm.

The soldiers immediately stopped their work. Although the fortifications were still not perfect, they were sufficient for the time being and were far more complete than the first hastily built line of defense.

"Sir, a report came in from the left front that they were attacked by Chaos rebels."

Horatio immediately turned the telescope and looked at the two independent defensive positions on the left wing.

The rebels used armored personnel carriers converted from farm machinery to launch an attack on the independent defense line. They assembled faster than expected. Apparently, the branch defeated by the greenskins was not important.

The positions the Chaos rebels faced were carefully arranged by Horatio based on a modern defensive warfare manual.

A 'big gift' for the evil god's lackeys.

"Armored ambush position, open fire!" Faced with the aggressive attack of the rebels, the commander of the defense line calmly judged the distance between the enemy and the position based on the signs, and decisively gave the order after confirming that they had entered the first firing range.

In an instant, laser cannons from all directions shot dazzling red light at the armor.

But almost at the same time, these powerful high-energy beams were blocked by the sudden dazzling laser shooting.

The firepower of most lasers was only at the level of light weapons, but several of the rebels' leading armored vehicles were actually destroyed.

"Over there! The anti-armor position of the Corpse King's lackeys!"

An observer standing on top of a large farm machinery and operating an anti-aircraft machine gun pointed at a position covered with a camouflage net and shouted.

"And there! They're firing!" another rebel shouted, pointing at a firing 'laser cannon'.

The rebels instantly turned their guns around and concentrated their fire on the position.

However, because the fortifications were well constructed, many shells were blocked by sandbags and ceramic steel plates, and did not damage the "laser cannon" with only the barrel exposed.

It's still firing.

But the Astra Militarum soldiers knew what it was.

This is nothing more than a fake position with two parallel laser guns tied to it and sticking out of the bunker, specifically used to deceive and attract enemy fire.

There was only one battalion-level servitor inside, operating and firing in accordance with preset instructions from the regiment-level technical priest, and no other living people.

There were dozens of such fake positions on their defense line, widely distributed, and their locations seemed scientific and reasonable enough to deceive people into believing them.

Those real laser cannons are all under the unified command of specialized officers.

They fired together, creating a dazzling burst of fire in an instant.

The dense array of lasers that have covered the battle lines is dazzling, and the flames among them are fleeting, making it difficult to accurately trace their source.

The rebels called in artillery fire on the "anti-armor positions" where the armored units' combat cannons had little effect on damaging them.

Not long after, several 133mm ground-shaking artillery shells landed on the fake position. The explosion was powerful enough to blow away the camouflage net, destroy the position, and bury the fake guns tied together under the sandbags.

"Anti-battery AoE radar detected enemy fire."

"Parameter back-calculation in progress."

"No need, call back according to my coordinates, quickly!"

Standing on the highest point of the Light Spear Plain, Horatio looked in the direction where the enemy shells were coming from. Previously, using the war sand table, he had already identified several locations suitable for building artillery positions on the map.

Now compare the shooting direction with the detected ballistic trajectory.

This officer, who had spent his time in the ship's artillery department since he was a candidate officer, gave precise artillery orders with unimaginable efficiency.

"Artillery 0.2 base, fire!"

Boom!Boom!
The artillerymen worked in groups of two, quickly adjusted the data given by Horatio, and then began a short and fierce salvo of fire.

In the rebel artillery unit that was using trucks to tow artillery to change firing positions, a rebel soldier heard a disturbing whistling sound.

He looked up at the sky, thinking it was just a stray bullet passing by.

As they were all from the Astra Militarum and used the same anti-artillery radar, they naturally knew how long it would take the Astra Militarum to counter the artillery.

All the time intervals and efficiency of their position changes are based on this.

Those Corpse King supporters couldn't possibly be faster than this.

But he was wrong. The whistling of the shells became sharper and shorter. The artillerymen's eyes suddenly widened. Everyone knew what this sound meant. It meant that the shells were getting closer and closer to them and had entered the terminal flight state.

"Bombs are coming!"

With a loud shout, the rebel artillerymen who were towing the artillery scattered like birds and beasts and fled in all directions.

call out! puff!
Whoosh! Puff!
One shell after another fell around them. In order to ensure the killing efficiency, Horatio ordered the 133mm and 180mm earth-shaking cannons to fire at the same time.

The 133mm caliber ground shaker can fire faster, forcing rebel artillerymen to try to escape from the vicinity of the artillery being transported, suppressing their movements.

Then, the 180mm caliber earth-shaking cannon opened fire 30 seconds later, relying on its larger equivalent to ensure the effective destruction of the rebel artillery.

When the heavy shells emitted death screams and fell on the convoy in a linear transport posture, some of the tractor drivers had already jumped out of the vehicles and fled.

Other brave drivers bypassed the car in front and stepped on the accelerator while dragging the artillery.

Immediately afterwards, a 180mm shell landed near the vehicle body, splashing mud. The flying shrapnel cut the artilleryman sitting in the carport into eight pieces. Blood flowed out from the driver's seat, flowing in the mud like leaking fuel.

The next shell luckily landed on the ammunition supply vehicle, causing a violent explosion, followed by a series of crackling sounds, like firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

That was the sound of light weapons ammunition being fired at high temperatures, and the exploding shells instantly tore apart the entire vehicle body and nearby personnel.

The flying shrapnel pierced several parts of the guns, and these guns were either scrapped or suffered various damages that seriously affected their use. At least in the next battle, the rebels could not expect to use these heavy weapons again.

"Captain Sharp, I have a new mission for you." Horatio put down the telescope and said to the captain of the reconnaissance company.

"Please go ahead, sir."

"Next, you need to guide the greenskins to attack to the left. Let's find a companion for these aliens who want to fight. I think the Chaos rebels attacking our left flank are quite suitable."

"No problem, sir!" Captain Sharp immediately understood what the naval officer meant and responded immediately.
