Chapter 134 I Need to Gather More Troops

The Empire's reinforcements were deployed on Armageddon, bringing a welcome change to the entire war situation.

The huge expeditionary forces composed of dozens of Astra Militarum Legions from different worlds and star systems filled the front line. Those well-trained and well-equipped Astra Militarum soldiers are far from being comparable to the militias temporarily recruited from Armageddon and the original planetary defense forces.

The originally precarious Stygian defense line was successfully defended with the help of the Space Wolves and other Astra Militarum Legions, and became stronger than before.

Now they can finally get some respite from the endless attacks of the Orks, and those soldiers who fought to death on the battlefield have a precious opportunity to rotate their positions.

Those armored vehicles that have been in disrepair for a long time and have temporary welding plates and bullet marks on their bodies have been relegated to the second line for more detailed and complete repair work.

A large number of local soldiers and the Astra Militarum Legion cooperate with each other. Since the Horus Heresy, just like the split Astartes Legion, most of the Astra Militarum Legion have also been split and divided.

In order to prevent the emergence of large-scale rebels in the next rebellion, almost all the Astra Militarum Legion of the Empire are single-arms legions in the form of war.

This has led to the Imperial Army's inadaptability to tactical behaviors such as infantry-tank coordination and slow-moving barrage cover advancement. The Imperial Army is like a single-arms legion with a population of 200 in StarCraft.

When you have a good brother with a population of 1,000, you will not manipulate the movements of the soldiers too much. F2A and full-staff charge are the norm in the Imperial War.

Those wars that have not been fought can almost be summarized in this sentence: the time is too short and the soldiers are too few.

Some legions are almost all infantry, while some legions have a terrifyingly high ratio of armored vehicles, which leads to various inadaptabilities when they are reorganized into an expeditionary army group.

Some of them may simply be due to the different combat modes of the two legions, while others are due to the conflict between the cultures of the two legions.

These cultural concepts come from the hometowns and ethnic groups of the recruited soldiers, and are also influenced by the combat honors of their legions.

Just like the soldiers of Catachan and the soldiers of Krieg go on missions together.

The people of Catachan survive in the jungle and various dangerous environments, and have mastered the jungle combat skills of their own system. They will attack the enemy like hunters, making them bleed in the wounds.

They will look down on the soldiers of Krieg who always wear their masks and helmets. You must know that in the complex jungle environment, ensuring clear vision and sensitive ears are the key to survival.

Instead of burying everything under the mask, feeling the chemical smell of the imperial mask, and the dull breathing that encourages the mask to rise and fall.

Those Krieg soldiers who have a strong sense of guilt have a different idea. They are full of thoughts about being loyal to the God-Emperor, and letting their humble lives be sacrificed on the way to the Emperor to wash away the sins of their ancestors who abandoned the Empire.

The soldiers of the Krieg Legion will fearlessly launch a fierce attack on the enemy line. Their artillery is so precise and experienced that they can almost perfectly grasp the pace of the Krieg soldiers' charge.

The Krieg soldiers will also step into the craters that have just exploded a second ago with firm and ruthless steps, and overwhelm the enemy with an endless sea of ​​soldiers under the crushing firepower.

So the most likely thing that the Catachan tough guys would shout when they saw the Krieg soldiers was: "Listen, you wooden things! I know it's all for the Emperor! But please get out of my firing line, you damn, rusty, fart-like stupid heads! I'm not sure how many bullets will hit the enemy after they penetrate your bodies!"

The Krieg soldiers listened to the complaints of the Catachan tough guys, and didn't even turn their heads. They just silently weighed the monomolecular shovels in their hands, and when they heard the charge whistle of the commander, they charged forward. Only the Catachans were left cursing.

Although the differences between the various Astra Militarums supporting Armageddon have not been so prominent, it is certainly necessary to integrate and train them for a period of time.

Life is the currency of the Emperor, and the life of every Astra Militarum is precious from this point of view. Sending undertrained soldiers to die in vain is equivalent to wasting the property of the great Emperor. To put it more seriously, it is completely possible to be caught and shot by the Ministry of Justice.

Therefore, after ensuring the stability of the front line, the soldiers of the Styx Defense Line did not immediately launch a counterattack on the scale of the entire subcontinent to recover lost territory.

Instead, they integrated and trained the troops that had been rotated out so that they could better cooperate with each other in the next battle, rather than secretly competing for military merits and honors.

The nests after the Styx Defense Line had not been plundered and destroyed by the orcs, so the population and remaining supplies also touched the general's heart.

Large numbers of nest residents were distributed weapons and taken to training camps.

During the long three months of rectification, more than 50 million troops were trained on the Styx Defense Line across the entire subcontinent, and they were very reliable.

The initially integrated legion rushed forward like an unsharpened military bayonet, polishing its blade with the blood of the orcs and wiping its face with the corpses of the orcs.

Under the fire suppression of the new laser guns and the decapitation strikes of the Space Marines, the orcs quickly collapsed and fled, turning into small tribes that fell apart one after another, living in the battles that were like the doomsday battlefield.

The line of fire on the subcontinent changed every day, until it was pushed to the place where Hades's nest was aligned, and the soldiers and civilians who struggled to resist in the siege of the orcs finally saw the support of the native troops of their own planet.

Now the orc army has been forced back by the imperial army, and now it is a more detailed and perfect strike to plunge the orcs into a deeper chaotic war.

If it is possible to eliminate the warlord who launched this Waaagh!, it will be the best result.

And now, Lin Fan and his troops are under the cover of friendly firepower, cooperating with the Space Wolves to launch an attack on an orc camp.

It is said that this is the place where the Iron Skull Titan Legion was defeated, and now it has become a treasure land for the orcs to find good ideas.

Lin Fan looked at the abruptly broken mountains and the horizon that was pitted by various artillery and weapons and knew that the situation in this place was not good.

Along the way, there were remains of human vehicles and the rusty and black skeletons of the Skitarii buried deep under the yellow sand, telling everyone that the next battle in the orc camp would be particularly difficult.
