At almost the same moment, Arni on the ground received a signal that the assault troops were in contact with the enemy, so he ordered all the troops to start advancing quickly. For this battle, he even threw his own soldiers underground. At the same time, the redeemers of the state religion also It pushed the fanaticism of the believers to the highest level.
"At this glorious moment, charge! Until the final judgment comes, charge!"
"For the God Emperor! Die with glory!!"
The fanatics ran like sheep driven by whips. Arni saw that the eyes of the redeemers were filled with only madness and hatred, as if what they were beating was really just a herd of livestock.
Such people and such beliefs made him shudder, but there was no doubt that they had sufficient numbers to fill in all the traps and obstacles created by the traitors and swamp them with sheer numbers.
And after that?
They may become the "new residents" of the underground, earning considerable profits for the church or other people through their uninterrupted daily labor.
Arni didn't like this kind of victory, but he had no choice. He just wanted to get out of this quagmire and go to a more glorious battlefield.
"Run! Run!"
Hayes has never tried racing against death, and that's not a good thing.
The number of enemies far exceeded his imagination, and their weapons were not particularly backward. During this period of underground fighting, they captured a lot of Astra Militarum equipment. More importantly, they were determined and full of hatred.
Realizing that he could not hold on for long, Oranios asked the termite boring machine to provide a final round of fire support and then left the ground. Then he ordered the entire battalion to rush directly towards the enemy's stronghold!
Because he judged that the enemy used servitors to attract their attention from the front, and then launched a surprise attack on them from both sides by blasting rock formations. In other words, the enemy's force on the front must be relatively weak, and they could only occupy a solid stronghold. Only then could they continue to resist the enemy with superior numbers. According to the plan, it would take at least half an hour for reinforcements to arrive.
But Ouranios didn't dare to make such an optimistic estimate. He knew that Arni would definitely not lead the team underground in person. Although it could be remotely controlled, the command would definitely be chaotic. Those troops could break through the complex enemy within two hours. The enemies in the mine network encirclement stronghold are already pretty good.
In fact, he planned to hold on to his position for five hours, so before the war he asked the soldiers to bring as much drinking water as possible and a certain number of ration bars.
Hayes held the laser gun tightly and ran hard in the dark underground. Because his helmet was broken, his night vision goggles were also broken. Although he picked up a fallen comrade's, that person's night vision goggles were also pregnant. inside, so he could only watch the surrounding light and follow the figure in front of him.
During this period, bullets kept flying past his ears, and then there was an explosion, kicking up dirt and gravel. Hayes did not run in a straight line. He also tried to dodge left and right while running. He suddenly understood what Uncle Hashet said, It doesn't matter how strong you are on the battlefield, not even a Space Marine. Only luck determines who lives and who dies.
"ah!"
A soldier in the company yelled and fell to the ground. He was shot in the neck. All the blood splashed on Hayes's pants. Hayes, who was running, immediately used his laser gun to scan the possible positions of the enemy who had fired black guns. shuttle.
I vaguely saw a figure slipping from behind the stone.
As Oranios expected, the defensive forces deployed on the front were weak. They did not expect these imperial troops to attack the initiative. Proving that the traitors who were shocked by the sudden attack were quickly beaten by lasgun volleys and bayonets. Dead, Hayes jumped over a pile of bodies, just trying to keep up with the group.
Soon the entire battalion passed through the enemy's weak blocking line and rushed into the stronghold full of shacks.
When he crossed the metal guardrails, Hayes saw many people in tattered clothes lying face down on the ground. He didn't know whether they were pretending to be dead or really dead, but everyone who passed by would subconsciously stab them with a bayonet, as if this would make them happy. Prevent enemies from resurrecting.
"Deploy a blocking line!"
At this time, Hashet issued new instructions
"Suppressive fire that way!"
The people around Hayes raised their laser guns, and a large beam of light rushed through the darkness, while he found the panting Habri, followed Hashet's instructions and ran to a shack stacked on a metal container, which was empty. There was no one there, just some debris, dirty bedding and a bad smell. Someone had probably lived there before, but it was definitely gone now.
Hubley and Winter hurriedly set up logging guns at the window. At this time, the enemy's firepower increased.
Hayes took the grenade launcher from Peake and fired it in one direction. Then in the light of the fire, he saw three bodies being lifted into the air by the explosion.
The enemies seemed to become angrier after discovering that the Imperial Army had entered their homeland, but they also knew that the Imperial Army's firepower was fierce, so they did not attack directly, but tried to outflank them from other directions as in the past.
Therefore, after judging that the enemy had dispersed, Ouranios made a new decision to occupy the geothermal power station.
There are several large facilities in the stronghold, but most of them have strong gates and tight security. Obviously the Red Pirates also handed over authority to the resisters here when they handed over, but the only exception is the geothermal power station, which itself is Built by Angstrom, they have a "backdoor key" that can directly open the door of the facility, and the facility is the lifeline of the entire underground world. Once the power is cut off, the air circulation system, heating system, and other life-sustaining devices The system will be paralyzed.
Then without a single bullet, most of the people underground will die, which will force the resisters to take back the facility at all costs, thus achieving the purpose of attracting them all.
After the order was issued, the troops immediately began to move. As the machine gun squad, Hayes and the others had to ensure that the large forces suppressed the enemy during the transfer, so they were almost the last group to retreat.
"Hurry up!"
While urging Habri and others to move, Hayes threw grenades in the direction of the enemy's movement. He knew that using a laser gun in this case would only reveal his position. The resisters must not have night vision equipment. The lighting in this stronghold Not much, but the grenades can effectively prevent the enemy from pursuing.
Soon their squad began to move towards the geothermal power station. At this time, Ouranios had used the secret key to open the door of the power station, but there were enemy guards inside, and fierce gunfire could be heard in the distance.
While running on the winding streets, Hayes had to turn around from time to time to see if any enemies appeared behind them. At this moment, he did not notice that a crater suddenly appeared on the ground behind him due to the vibration of the explosion.
"ah!"
The next second, he stepped on the air and fell into the darkness with a scream——
