Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Unfortunately, although these drivers' reaction speed was extremely fast, they still seemed powerless in the face of such a fierce and precise attack.

Those incoming machine guns seemed to have eyes. No matter how the fighter jets dodged, they could still hit the target accurately.

The pilots could only watch as deadly machine gun shells streaked across the sky like meteors and then slammed into their beloved fighter planes.

"Boom boom boom..."

Bursts of violent explosions rang out in the sky, and balls of dazzling flames shot up into the sky.

Each explosion meant another fighter plane was mercilessly destroyed, turning into countless burning fragments. The once neat and orderly fighter formation was shattered in an instant, and the entire sky was covered with billowing smoke.

"Hurry up."

The transport ship following closely behind the fighter jets was like a panicked giant beast. When it saw the fighter jet unit in front of it being attacked, it controlled its huge body at lightning speed and dived rapidly towards the ground.

At this moment, the pilots of these transport ships completely abandoned the idea of ​​approaching the defense positions, because the anti-aircraft firepower displayed by the heretics was too fierce. If they rashly approached with a large force, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

The transport ship's driver looked solemn and steady. He gripped the joystick tightly with both hands, concentrating on controlling the transport ship's descent speed and angle.

With a violent tremor and a roar, the transport ship finally landed steadily on the ground. As soon as it came to a complete stop, the pilot couldn't wait to yell into the communication channel, "Get off the ship!"

The sound was like thunder, exploding in the ears of every Astra Militarum soldier.

"Hurry up! Move more quickly!" Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, the driver shouted again at the top of his voice.

At this moment, a burly, serious-looking commander of the Star Legion suddenly stood up from his seat after hearing the driver's urging. He glanced at the soldiers around him with a sharp gaze, and at the same time, in a strong and powerful voice, shouted:

"Everyone, get off the boat! Seize the nearby advantageous terrain and build a defensive position immediately!"

Following the order from the team leader, a "rustling" sound instantly rang out.

Teams of well-trained and well-equipped Astra Militarum soldiers began to swiftly unload the various heavy weapons carried on the transport ships.

Some of them worked together to lift the huge artillery, some skillfully operated the Chimera armored transport vehicle to slowly drive out of the cabin, and others carefully pushed the missile launcher to the appropriate position.

The whole scene was tense and orderly, busy but not chaotic.

In less than ten minutes, an entire regiment of Star Army soldiers moved all the diverse and dazzling weapons and equipment carried on the transport ship to the vast and empty ground at lightning speed.

The driver of the transport ship was even more anxious. The moment the last Astra Militarum soldier stepped out of the transport ship, he didn't even bother to close the hatch of the transport ship. He couldn't wait to directly control the transport ship. He left the surface as quickly as an arrow and rushed straight towards the fleet in the distant and deep starry sky.

When the transport ship gradually went away and disappeared, the Astra Militarum soldiers left on the ground did not dare to relax at all. They raced against time and methodically built an indestructible defensive position.

"Captain, should we launch an attack right now?"

After the transport ship had completely left, the serious-looking company commander looked at the regiment commander with sharp eyes and asked in a serious tone.

However, after hearing the company commander's question, the regimental commander did not respond immediately as everyone expected. Instead, he slowly turned his gaze to the political commissar standing beside him and asked inquiringly:

"Commissar Kam, in your opinion, should we seize this opportunity and attack decisively, or should we hold our ground for now and wait patiently for the arrival of the Legion Commander before making a decision?"

Upon hearing Captain Tim's question, Political Commissar Kam slowly put down the telescope he had been using to observe the distant city and began to analyze what he had seen and heard.

"The city ahead is completely silent, with no signs of the heretics setting up defensive positions. However, judging by the intensity and direction of the firepower displayed during the attack on the fighter jets, the heretics' defensive positions are most likely hidden behind this city."

Cam stared at the distant city skyline, thinking to himself. He turned to look at the captain beside him, Tim, who said with a serious expression:

"Since those damned heretics have voluntarily abandoned this city, and instead of engaging in fierce street fighting with us, they have chosen to deploy their forces in the rear and confront us head-on.

Then we might as well capture this city first and turn it into our frontline position to attack those heretics. This way, we can not only seize the initiative on the battlefield, but also provide strong support for subsequent attacks."

After hearing Commissar Kam's insightful analysis, Tim couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"So, Commissar Kam, you agree to take this city first?"

Tim's eyes were fixed on Commissar Cam, waiting for his answer.

Political Commissar Kam nodded without hesitation.

"That's right! The current situation is urgent. We must act decisively and not give the heretics any breathing space.

As long as we successfully capture this city, we can disrupt their deployment and lay a solid foundation for our ultimate victory."

Tim heard that Political Commissar Kam also agreed to send troops immediately to take the city in front of him. After thinking for a while, Tim nodded in agreement:

"Commissar Kam, I agree with your suggestion. Let's send three companies of soldiers to attack and test the heretics. If they truly abandon the city, we can take it down directly."

After Tim finished his discussion with the political commissar, he turned and looked solemnly at the dozen or so company commanders behind him, and gave an order in a deep voice:

"The first, second, and third companies will be responsible for attacking the city in front of us, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth companies will serve as reserve support forces.

If the front-line attacking forces encounter resistance, the reserve support forces will immediately join the battle and attack and capture the city together."

"Yes."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, several company commanders took quick action.
