The narrow airborne cabin was accompanied by violent tremors and bumps. A red indicator light similar to that of the Tiaobang torpedo was flashing above his head. Fu Qinghai was strapped firmly to the back of the seat.
Gurt, who was wearing a helmet, turned his head, his expression covered by scarlet goggles and visor.
"Qingshan, is this your first time riding in an orbital drop capsule?" His dull voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Yes." Fu Qinghai replied.
"No one likes this thing. Everyone would rather fly the Stormbird than leave their fate to this disposable iron shell." Gurth said.
"I think it's okay, at least it's pretty fast, isn't it?" Fu Qinghai replied with a smile.
There was a chuckle in the bumpy and trembling small space, and Fu Qinghai's words relieved the dull atmosphere.
Although Space Marines don't like it, it has to be said that orbital airborne is a strong form of tactical strike.
Since ancient times, there has been an asymmetric war between the sky and the earth, and it is even more so when the air superiority of the outer space orbit is lost. No matter how strong and complex the enemy has built on the surface in advance. The strike and penetration centers will also collapse instantly. In addition to the Space Marines loaded inside, the drop pod itself is also a weapon.
The soldiers sitting in the drop pod suddenly felt a violent shaking. The sudden increase in overload was enough to force the bile out of the mouths of ordinary humans, but the Astartes quickly stabilized their bodies.
Everyone knew that this was the bottom thruster of the airborne capsule slowing down in reverse jet, and they were not far from landing.
Everyone tightened their grip on their weapons.
Soon, there was a violent impact and tremor, and the airborne capsule stopped. The warning light above the head changed from red to green. However, after the tremor, the surrounding hatches did not open immediately, and everyone was still trapped in the airborne capsule.
The airborne troops will complete rapid deployment the moment they land. This suddenness will be lost if the hatch cannot be opened.
Gurt punched the hatch and cursed, "Damn it, our hatch is stuck!"
After cursing, he turned to look at Fu Qinghai, "The good news is, we have a technical sergeant here."
Fu Qinghai stood up from his seat, and the folded mechanical arm on the side of the power backpack behind him stretched out with his thoughts, like a mechanical appendage with teeth and claws.
Fu Qinghai came to the cabin door. The iron pliers of the mechanical arm were opened. A welding gun mouth protruded from the middle of the pliers. The blazing white light illuminated the dim airborne cabin. Fu Qinghai was stuck in two or three times with the help of the mechanical arm. The hatch is open.
The Ultramarines filed out with guns in hand.
The airborne capsule where Fu Qinghai was located happened to land between the cracks of a deep canyon. The Space Marines had to climb up the cliff next to them on their hands and knees, only to find that there was a dark cave extending in all directions on the cliff. They actually fell into the crack. In the small rift valley below.
Gurth just took out his tactical tablet to check the coordinates, and couldn't help but complain:
"Is this the result of the technical priests' calculations for a long time? It's too far off."
After a brief search, the team found another drop cabin with a stuck door. Fu Qinghai walked up and was about to open the door with a welding gun.
"Boom~" A ball of plasma flame burned through the hatch and spurted out.
A group of Ultramarines quickly rushed out of the airborne pod, their guns pointed at Fu Qinghai.
"Hey, Polasco, you can use plasma weapons in the airborne pod and you won't be afraid of burning yourself to death." Gurth shouted.
"That's better than being trapped inside." After confirming his identity, the Ultramarines quickly removed their guns, and the leading soldier responded to Gurt.
Kurt nodded and said: "We have deviated from the planned position by three kilometers. We need to speed up. Let's go!"
After saying that, he led his team, found a cave in the same direction as the target location, and got into it.
Another team of Ultramarines also found a cave and drilled into it.
The roads in the dark cave were complicated, the signal was not good, and communications with Space Orbit and other teams were intermittent. Fortunately, they did not encounter enemies. The Sting Tactical Team quickly arrived at the predetermined location. Here, the Ultramarines of the Spearhead Force had already Fighting fiercely with the traitors.
As soon as Fu Qinghai emerged from the cave, a heavy explosive shell grazed his scalp and shattered a cluster of stalactites behind him.
Fu Qinghai quickly shrank his head and threw himself down.
Gurth crawled to the front. The vanguard of the Ultramarines hiding in the tunnels and depressions in front turned around and saw that they were teammates and shouted:
"Gurter, their shipboard weapons are too powerful. Where is your heavy weapons support?"
Gurth was about to reply that I only have ordinary Space Marines here when he saw that the opponent's defense line was in chaos. Explosions and gunfire sounded on the opposite side, and the enemy's counterattack began to become messy.
"Heavy weapons are coming." A deep and deep voice sounded in the communication channel that had been silent for a long time.
Gurt looked surprised. He recognized the owner of the voice and said, "It's the ancient warrior Hiller! They airborne behind the enemy."
Fu Qinghai knew who was speaking on the communication channel as soon as he heard the ancient warrior.
Dreadnought mecha!
The standard heavy firepower platform of the Space Marine Legion.
Fu Qinghai and the Ultramarines seized this hard-won opportunity to stand up and rush towards the enemy's fortifications.
As soon as Fu Qinghai fell into a tunnel with a sliding shovel, a huge buzzing chain saw ax struck from the slant. Fu Qinghai stepped aside to avoid the axe, and accurately delivered a knife with his right hand, a powerful long knife. The tip of the knife flashing with a faint blue electric arc stabbed smoothly into the intruder's goggles.
With a scream, the Word Bearer warrior loosened his grip on the ax handle and fell to his knees dejectedly.
Kill!
This was the first Space Marine Fu Qinghai had killed since he became a Space Marine, his first kill.
It came so suddenly, without serious confrontation, without patient dealings, without you and me showing off every move. At the moment when he was caught off guard, Fu Qinghai didn't even have time to think. It was just based on the muscle memory and long-term training. Instinctively, the enemy is dead.
Fu Qinghai took a deep breath and told himself, this is not an online novel, this is war!
An extreme warrior next to him also jumped into the tunnel. He looked at the body at Fu Qinghai's feet and said:
"That move just now was not bad, go back and teach me."
Fu Qinghai did not recognize this soldier. He nodded, stepped over the corpse, and continued to move forward.
Soon they saw the fearless mechas that were wreaking havoc not far away.
It was a behemoth that was 4.5 meters high and 3 meters wide. The largest upright walking land unit in the human empire's army was the smallest Titan - the Knight Mecha.
Fu Qinghai identified its model: the most installed Contemptor Dreadnought mecha in the 30k era.
A thick and huge fuselage is loaded on the sturdy bipedal chassis, and its pilot is buried in the middle of the fuselage - a seriously injured Space Marine who died. His limbs were removed, leaving only the head and part of the torso, mainly the spine. He was stuffed into this sarcophagus...strictly speaking, it was a life-support device, and he used the intelligent control technology of the Mechanicum to control this giant thing.
As a technical sergeant, Fu Qinghai analyzed at a glance that this dark blue-painted Contemptor Dreadnought was equipped with a double-barreled melt cannon in its left hand, and its right hand was a power claw with a plasma cannon built into the palm.
At this moment, the Dreadnaught Mecha was going on a killing spree in the enemy formation. He blasted out hot molten gas and burned several Word Bearers Space Marines who rushed up howling. The huge fuselage that could rotate 360 degrees twisted back and used power again. The claw grabbed a Word Bearer warrior who was attacking from behind. The sharp power claw pierced the attacker's ceramite armor and hung his whole body on the power claw. The fuselage turned again and pulled the dying man away. The Word Bearers flung out.
Oh my god, it's so fierce... Fu Qinghai's eyes lit up when he saw it, and the backup of Iron Man's electronic soul was boiling in his mind - if he gave this fearless mecha to Fu Qinghai, he could transform it into something even stronger!
"Ancient warrior Hiller, well done!" Gurt shouted excitedly in the communication channel.
Although there was a deviation in the landing position of the Sting Team, another team correctly landed inside the enemy's defense line. Under attack from both inside and outside, the defense line was quickly breached.
The long-lost voice of Vlahos also sounded in the communication channel: "Each team will go to the key locations of the transport ship to destroy the spacecraft device according to the original plan. Don't be reluctant to fight, repeat, don't be reluctant to fight."
Fu Qinghai knew that Vlahos also led the airborne troops, but he didn't know where he landed.
As communications resumed, they were no closer than that.
The Stinger Team's tactical execution was very strong. The Dreadnought Mecha opened the way and penetrated directly into the heart of the battle line, not wanting to fight.
After several skirmishes, the Stingers found a target transport ship in the dark isthmus.
The searchlight installed on the top of the Contemptor Dreadnought lighted up, and a white beam of light hit the sides of the gray-white spacecraft that was as tall as a wall.
The high bulwark is like a city wall blocking everyone's face, and you can only see the top by raising your neck.
The transport spacecraft that sensed the arrival of the Ultramarines also reacted. A quadruple heavy bomb cannon installed on the side turned this way and opened fire. The Dreadnought mech propped up the atomic shield generator, blocking most of the flying missiles. The incoming explosive bombs faced the storm-like chain of fire of four heavy explosive bombs, and they advanced step by step with difficulty.
The Stinger team used the atomic shield held up by the Dreadnought as cover and struggled to maintain a stalemate with the turret on the transport ship.
Gurth shouted into the communication channel: "The Stinger Team has arrived at the designated location, 11 minutes later than scheduled, and found the transport ship Abomination Worm, coordinates 341-023-123, exchanging fire with the transport ship. Heavy fire support is needed!”
"Roger, Sting Team, enter the Abominable Worm's predetermined location, complete your goals and evacuate." Vlahos's voice rang in the communication channel.
"The energy of the atomic energy shield is insufficient, and it is expected to last for three minutes." The dull voice of the ancient warrior Hiller through the converted sound generator was as calm as ever.
Calmly telling a critical fact.
And the crazy output turret has no tendency to stop at all.
"Stinger Team, spread out the flanks, fire suppression." Gurt ordered.
The Ultramarines quickly spread out from behind the Dreadnought Mecha to both sides, raised their weapons and fired at the turret.
However, the rotating quadruple heavy blaster turret on the transport ship simply ignored the bullets fired by the Space Marines on both wings. The thick bulwarks blocked these sparse shots, and it aimed at the Dreadnought Mecha's crazy output.
"Two minutes." The dull voice of the ancient warrior Hiller sounded again in the communication channel.
The only heavy firepower the Sting Team possesses are the double-barreled melta cannons and plasma cannons mounted on both sides of the Contemptor Dreadnought. Unfortunately, neither of these two weapons can hit the tall turrets in the distance.
"We will retreat steadily first, back into the cave, and wait for the long-range heavy fire support team to be in place before entering."
Gurt felt that it was not okay to be beaten passively like this, so he chose a safe plan.
Fu Qinghai narrowed the angle of the goggles and carefully scanned the hull of the transport ship. Tony Stark's electronic soul was analyzing and running at high speed.
found it!
Based on the structure, shape and texture, Fu Qinghai discovered a hidden hatch half buried in the rock.
"I can enter the transport ship, you cover me!" Fu Qinghai shouted on the communication channel.
Without waiting for his teammates to respond, Fu Qinghai looked around, taking advantage of the darkness and the Dreadnought Mecha to attract fire, and quickly and carefully touched to the other side.
Gurth turned to watch Fu Qinghai quietly touch a hatch at the bottom of the spacecraft. The mechanical arm behind him flexibly deployed the welding gun and cutting knife and began to break open the door.
The Sting Team, which was about to retreat, stopped again.
Gurt recalled Fu Qinghai's performance along the way and secretly thought that this kid was too aggressive. His desire to fight was stronger than the Ultramarines who had a grudge against the Word Bearers. As a technical sergeant who should have been placed in the middle and rear of the team, Every time he rushes to the forefront of the battle, he kills countless enemies, but his sword skills are as good as those of the company champion.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Fu Qinghai gradually discovered during the battle that acting with his comrades in the squad would increase his assimilation points, but the enemies he killed with his own hands had the most assimilation points, so he always rushed to the front in every battle.
But Fu Qinghai is also afraid of death. While trying to earn assimilation points, he is also highly nervous and cautious.
Due to the pitch angle, the quadruple heavy bomber could not see Fu Qinghai's small movements under the spacecraft.
The turret is still outputting, and the Dreadnought's atomic shield gradually dims under the continuous strikes of saturated firepower.
Fu Qinghai cut open the hatch and got in.
Behind the hatch is a dark circular pipe, with countless black cables, chains and pipes extending along this pipe.
Fu Qinghai climbed up the pipeline to the location where the four-link heavy explosive bomb was installed, and found that a skinny servitor was connecting and controlling the weapon. Countless lines were plugged into the servitor's head and connected to the turret controller.
Fu Qinghai destroyed the connecting cable with one shot, and white smoke and sparks exploded. The servitor fell to the ground, trembling all over, and uttering nonsense words.
The quadruple heavy explosive bombs finally went out, allowing the Stinger team hiding behind the Dreadnought to advance quickly.
"Well done, Qingshan, wait for us to join you." Gurt praised in the communication channel.
The soldiers of the Sting Team entered the transport ship through the hatch cut by Fu Qinghai. Gurth said to the Dreadnought Mecha following behind:
"Ancient warrior Hiller, you wait here for the other teams to arrive and stand behind us."
"Copy that." The Dreadnought mecha replied flatly.
The hatch that Fu Qinghai cut was too small. What was connected behind it was not the corridor of the transport ship, but the passage for workers and servitors to shuttle. The huge size of the Dreadnought Mecha could not pass through at all.
…
Outside another transport ship, Vlahos, who was wearing Terminator armor and carrying a power hammer, was still fighting bloody battles with the Word Bearers. He received the news that Fu Qinghai's Sting Team had taken the lead in breaking into the Abomination Worm transport. News from inside the ship.
As the commander, he knew that Gurth's Sting Team was the first team to successfully break into the transport ship.
Vlahos is familiar with his men, and he knows that Gurt is not the kind of person who rushes in lightly.
Then the variable is that Techmarine Astartes from the White Scars.
Vlahos knocked away a Word Bearer warrior with a hammer and paused to take a breath.
He thought to himself, as expected of a man with white scars, he had speed deep into his bones just like the rumors said.
