Chapter 238: Water drops penetrate stone, guerrilla breaks the formation
The guerrillas' attacks continued unabated. Basically, they destroyed a large number of high-value items every day and killed countless Space Marines and traitors. At the same time, they endured hunger and pain during this period. It is also getting more serious.
The Master Chief looked at the rickety vehicles in the distance with his tattered reconnaissance binoculars. Those enemies no longer had good-looking trucks, and they had no gunpowder to make bombs.
"How about the ammunition reserves?" he asked the others. Because of their continuous attacks, those crazy cultists began a scorched earth policy against them. As soon as their attacks were completed, those Chaos traitors would immediately begin to destroy the weapons in their vehicles. supplies.
Running out of ammunition and food is definitely the biggest action most enemies take in guerrilla warfare. The supplies within Skadi cannot support a long-term guerrilla war. Firstly, the distance is long, which will give the enemy breathing time. Secondly, Skadi’s supplies The level of consumption is also extremely fast. A month's rations for 50,000 people is a terrifying astronomical figure, not to mention that those things will probably rot by themselves.
In order to deal with that damn scorched-earth policy, they had to start accumulating supplies. When the few but vital things were placed in the pipes, the guerrillas still carried the most important thing with them, which was the ability to destroy walls. Melta bombs and flares to notify the Skadi.
If the food and ammunition placed in the pipes are discovered by the enemy, they will starve to death. Even so, they choose to put the mission first. Their strong will allows them to exert a combat effectiveness that is not inferior to that of a space warrior, which is amazing. , but also sad and ridiculous.
Because all the will of mortals can achieve the opening of the Space Marines, this feeling is not good, as if saying that those demigods cannot be surpassed, but they also believe that mortals just have a longer journey.
On the other side, such hunger and pain are also spreading among the enemy's troops. In the final analysis, they will always lose more to themselves in the destruction of their own materials. The lack of mutiny is only because of the Chaos Gods and Space Marines. Those mortals Can't choose, that's all.
But this kind of emotion has reached its limit. Horrible cannibalism and oppression began to occur in those places. It is inevitable to leave without authorization or have low combat awareness. When the will is too low, what the Skadi guerrillas expected will happen. .
The Catachan eye sentry stationed near the watch tower was arranged to come quickly, he said. "The enemy has begun to mobilize. It is very large. I am afraid that the place will be completely empty."
The Master Chief said. "Finally, I've been waiting for this day for so long."
"Prepare your own melta bomb, re-transform the installation tutorial in your mind, follow the normal plan, and complete this long task in one go."
"Act according to plan!"
For 20 days, for 20 days, when people worship heroes like Alexander the Great and Hercules, they often forget how much strategic value the disgusting harassment of little people like flies has.
They will come at night, and they will not be absent during the day. Looking at many heroes, they also need sleep, but Skadi's guerrillas do not need it. They are fully wound at any time and anywhere, their speed does not slow down, and they do not stop at all times.
In exchange for this, the traitors became unbearable. A large number of traitor commanders were walking in this turbid air with their stupid minions. The boy Lytlin was lying in the ruins. He almost changed into a different person. He was very thin and his eyes were wide. But he was calmer, aiming and shooting in one go.
The low sound of the carbine and the excellent concealment brought by the small homemade anti-inflammatory device. The light of the firearm bullets passed through the air, passed through the ruins, and hit the head of the gorgeously dressed officer. In an instant, that head was never seen again. , disappearing from physical reality.
the traitors shouted. "There's a sniper!" What followed was a muffled sound of bang, bang, bang, which was the roar of the empire's individual grenade launcher. Black projectiles pierced the sky one after another, falling in arcs, and in the thunder It exploded before it could cover its ears, and those soldiers who lost their command evaporated instantly.
What follows is dense footsteps, mobile warfare, non-stop, and the movement here will become a bait for new prey to come. When the traitors come here, they clean up again until they run out of ammunition and food.
"This is the first batch, those cultists are really crazy." The boy Letling insulted, the Master Chief, or the soldiers here are all in the same condition, dark circles under the eyes, low energy, but they can still fight, as precise as surgery Like a knife.
But this is why space warriors are more suitable for guerrilla warfare than most human soldiers. To be precise, those super soldiers are suitable for any battle. They do not need regular breaks and do not need to eat a lot to maintain physical fitness. No matter how crazy the war is, they can still act like a perpetual motion machine. operation.
Those cultists couldn't stand Skadi's guerrilla warfare, but now that the Space Marines have also left the field, the entire periphery has fallen into complete chaos. The supply shortage and death cost caused by the guerrillas are too high, and they must act.
And now Master Chief Catachan is setting up something like a firework launcher in an open space. He is not celebrating the great achievements of his troops, but telling the Sun Lord that the time to attack has come.
The bright red specially-made projectiles flew high into the sky, and the bright light made the entire underground world feel bad. This huge and empty place was too busy during this time.
The traitors gnashed their teeth, and the Space Marines also felt bad. Only the Sun Lord in the encirclement put down the coffee he usually drank, and the soldiers geared up because the time for a breakthrough had come.
They were ready. On the other side, when the signal flares attracted the enemy's attention, the Catachans came to the high wall with fixed-point melta bombs, used iron sheets as bunkers, killed the traitors on the guard tower with snipers, and proved those Chaos believers with their actions. They are all fools.
"1, 2, 3, run!" The Master Chief pressed the button very quickly. The Skadi soldiers on the other side were like a tidal wave. They did not have any seamless cooperation, only the most basic trust. Those who had been there for many years It's called the trust of comrades-in-arms.
Violent attacks were blowing like hurricanes on the cold battlefield. On those three-meter-high concrete walls, the number of cultists was not as good as before. The defense strength of firearms was extremely poor because of the shortage of manpower. When the grenadiers wearing carapace armor were attacking In front of them, the Skadi people kept approaching. After the rumbling explosions and flashes of light, the walls within a few hundred meters suddenly collapsed, tearing open the long defense line, and the traitors also fell into chaos.
The Emperor's wrath has arrived at this moment. Even if the Space Marines on those platforms resisted stubbornly, they had to die due to the shooting of Catachan guerrillas from behind and the frontal attack from the Imperial Guard in front. As long as they work harder, they can Tear apart the brutal war here and take back freedom.
Roaring, war, bayonets, firearms, for the emperor's slogans and the officers' command, the Skadi people who suppressed for more than half a month did not know what fear was, just like the great soldiers on Cadia.
The sleepy guerrillas continued to provide support from behind, but the enemy's defense was useless. After more than half a month of fierce fighting, every stone was broken.
The enemy's detached troops arrived quickly. Before the Skadis could climb the wall, the guerrillas had to retreat into the main force through the wall they blew up. When the Letling kid, who had not seen him for a long time, came to the Sun Lord and the The chief of general staff saluted, as well as the skinny Catachan soldiers. A short moment of sadness flashed through Alan Bair's heart, and he immediately went into war again.
"How many enemy supports are there?"
the Master Chief replied. "200 Space Marines, 20,000 Traitor troops, all armed by the Imperial Guard, and difficult to deal with."
"We don't have bunkers and trenches, and we don't have an advantage in terms of troop strength. We haven't taken down the wall here, so we may fall short..." Disappointment flashed across the cheeks of this macho man. The achievements he had worked so hard for so long were about to fall short. It felt like that. He couldn't accept it.
Alan Bayer just looked at his tactical tablet and answered. "There is no way. Believe us, your efforts have failed. Just like you said, every drop of water penetrates a stone, and you have done a good job."
Then he turned to the other struggling man. "You too, Lytlin boy."
"Now I can only trust our comrades, Skadi Grenadiers, get ready! Those new recruits are also on the field. They have been watching for so long, and now they are going to fight hard!"
"Now we are in the same situation as them, with no bunkers and no defense projects. According to the character of the Space Marines, we will soon fall into close combat, so whether you are a new or old soldier, put on your bayonet!"
"Officers adjust their chainswords, and grenadiers grab power weapons. This will be the craziest battle in the history of the Skadi regiment, and the bloodiest and most brutal, without a doubt."
"I ask you to block that gap, guerrillas and heavy firepower teams to suppress the enemy on the wall."
"Now, with one person and one meter staggered, the person at the front uses a jumping shield to resist the shooting. We want to drag the war into ancient times, when humans have not yet set foot in the starry sky!"
This was a crazy plan. It was impossible for a mortal body to resist the Space Marines' shooting, but the soldiers still moved forward calmly. They half-knelt on the ground, relying on the large amounts of rubble and shields on the fallen walls to defend themselves against the shooting.
As long as the explosive bomb is still a kinetic energy weapon, no matter how huge and terrifying its power is, it will eventually stop due to the obstruction of the object. When the Space Marine fired for the first time, a Skadi Grenadier almost flew up, but Or resist with a dented shield.
As the terrible projectiles passed through the thick ruins, the smoke filled the air and hindered subsequent shots, while the Skadi soldiers' shots could accurately kill the Space Marines.
If long-range suppression continued, there was no doubt that the Space Marines would face terrible losses, and their commander quickly gave the order to move forward, close combat, advance at full speed, and give up shooting.
This rather stupid behavior in the command of the Astra Militarum is a very smart choice among the Space Marines. The running speed of those supermen is comparable to that of a vehicle. At least running at full speed and wearing thick armor is like several Chimeras.
The Imperial Guard's hit rate instantly dropped a lot, and just as the commander estimated, as long as the Space Marines approached, the roar of the chain sword would destroy the fragile melee combat system of the Imperial Guard.
Unexpectedly, those mortals did not run, because the Sun Lord ordered them to defend here. If this gap is lost, the Space Marines can attack the Imperial Guard's battle line from various directions. Such losses and the difficulty of counterattack will instantly increase by countless amounts. .
With this idea in mind, the charge of the Space Marines must also be resisted. If it were other teams, they would definitely curse it as impossible, but this is Skadi, they have no way out, this is not an insignificant world in the empire, but their cruel This cold hometown, this universe where they were born, is second only to Holy Terra, the common homeland of mankind.
The grenadiers looked at the unexpected giants and calmly dropped their shields. Those things could not resist the continuous roar of the powerful chain swords, and instead raised their weapons.
In essence, it is impossible for mortals to defeat Space Marines. When those powerful giants approach, death should follow. For Space Marines, tearing open the bodies of fragile mortals with their blades is also a kind of enjoyment.
But the sound of the blade cracking and the abnormal but disgusting resistance interrupted the Space Marines' reverie of infinite flesh and blood. Only the vicious eyes of the Skadi Grenadier and the roar of the destructive stance of the pale blue light were heard. …
"This is impossible!" The soldier panicked, but such things kept happening throughout the team. Are those soldiers transformed, or is the emperor appearing? But it's not the case, it's just that they have become shields at this moment.
To be precise, they, the Skadi Grenadier, have no power to resist the terrifying killing of the Space Marines, but if there are several people, several rows stand together to resist the attack, so that the power is completely shared, in other words, now it is the Star Marines. Cady recruits "hold up" grenadiers to "support" his defense against the superhuman attack.
At the same time, the strong pressure, whether it was from the Skadi soldiers or the Space Marines, was on the Grenadier's arms, as if they were being run over by a truck. Although the mechanical structure of the human body is very good, the bones are cracked. The sound of turning on is slowly accompanied by the roar of the server.
Death is now approaching, but the soldier full of will still resists unswervingly. The server instantly tears off the single-molecule blade on the entire chain sword, causing the space warrior to lose his combat effectiveness and can only use a short saber to attack the enemy.
And when the Sun Lord took up arms and sentenced those Chaos traitors to death, he led Catachan soldiers to attack the enemy with bolt shotguns, power weapons, and what not, deflagration beams, plasma guns, and heavy bolters.
Superman is not invincible. Skadi has proven this time and time again. Today's powerful supermen miss even the most arrogant close combat. Today's space warriors are like dogs with broken teeth. In addition to wailing and trembling, there is nothing. Neither!
As the recruits watched those terrifying giants fall in front of them, their inner pride reached its limit. (End of chapter)
