Chapter 537: First Training for Recruits (Part 2)
Outside the water station, Robin scanned the horizon, looking intently at the place where the gray earth and the sky met.
"I think he fell in love with that pair of telescopes."
Hao Mo whispered, and everyone else in the team laughed.
"Shut up, Scout."
Armin immediately spoke and lectured him.
"Let him concentrate on his work."
"They are coming."
Robin suddenly spoke, but did not put down the telescope.
“There is dust in the distance.”
"Say numbers, kid."
Armin growled sternly.
“When you speak, tell all the information you have. Information is the key to life or death.”
“Maybe a hundred or so, not too many, but not too much. Less."
"So what do you do now? Don't act so surprised. This is your plan."
Robin nodded and activated the communicator in his ear.
"Bahram, Haomo, are you ready?"
"Ready."
Bahram replied immediately, and Haomo responded subsequently. , although the two of them don't know this friend who can't be called a friend very well, they are still very confident in his abilities.
At this time, Armin on the side turned to look at Thor, who had been silent.
"Instructor Saul, what do you think?"
"I have been observing on the water tower before."
Saul responded calmly.
"Robin was right, I counted thirty-two combat motorcycles and hundreds of greenskins in three transport vehicles."
As the company commander of the scouts As mentors, Armin and Thor have the highest level of control over all recruits' communicators, and they can hear everything these new Space Marines say at any time.
Thor then switched to Robin's team's channel.
"Robin, what are your orders now?"
Robin was silent for a few seconds. Although his grades were very good and they had done command and control exercises before, he He has never given an order in a combat situation - the biggest difference between him and Bahram is that he once worked as a bounty hunter and killed many people.
“Keep quiet until they get close and fire at mid-range. They will rush over regardless of what we say as soon as they see us... We need to provoke them so that they ignore their own casualties, right? Instructor ?”
Armin also heard this answer, he crossed his arms on his chest and shrugged.
"You are the only one giving orders this afternoon, recruit."
Saul responded on the communicator:
"Recruit, I give you a suggestion: stop using questions. The order is over.”
Hao Mo was already riding on the motorcycle, crossing his arms and staring at Robin.
“Let’s do it now?”
"We follow the route, keeping a slow pace, to lure them in, and then we separate them closer to the water tower than further away."
"Why?"
"For our snipers, the denser their formation, the easier it is to kill, and it is more likely that they will rush directly into the ditch."
Bahram nodded in agreement. .
“It’s a good plan, so what are you waiting for?”
Robin forced a smile and got on his motorcycle.
"Then let's set off."
The engine roared to life, spitting out white exhaust gas.
Robin led the two of them towards the smoke and dust ahead, feeling the pride and nervousness of being the leader.
Armin and Thor have been observing his every move from a distance.
"You also managed to raise some dust, attract their attention and lure them over."
Robin glanced at the other side of the pumping station, four hundred meters away, other teams also started Go in the other direction and lie in wait near the ditch.
After receiving the order, Haomo and Bahram began to swing the motorcycle heads left and right, raising a cloud of dust. Soon, a large cloud of dust rose behind them.
“You have attracted the enemy’s attention.”
Armin's voice came from the communicator.
“A lot of greens are heading in your direction.”
“Copy that, we will move forward for half a mile and then return the same way to lure them to chase us.”< br>
Sure enough, the greenskins saw them and began to chase them, making their line even more sparse.
Robin's team continued to move forward, gradually approaching the wall made of dust and oil smoke. They vaguely saw a figure in the smoke: a huge and savage creature hunched over and riding a crudely made machine. .
The three of them swallowed nervously.
"Fire!"
The bolter mounted on the motorcycle opened fire, raining down strings of bolts into the enemy lines.
The red tracer bullets were particularly conspicuous in the dusty air. The greenskins and their vehicles exploded together. Due to being blocked and attacked for a long time, the technical level of Gage's greenskins was relatively relatively high. behind.
But even so, the greenskins still fired back angrily, but the range of their weapons was far inferior to the bolters on motorcycles, and the bullets they fired flew everywhere.
The battlefield was suddenly filled with the sound of engines and flying dust.
“Withdraw!”
After the two sides approached a distance of half a kilometer, Robin issued an order.
All three of them stepped on the brakes at the same time, put their left foot on the ground and made a sharp turn in the direction of the pumping station.
As they accelerated, they turned again and opened fire with the pistols they carried.
"This should be enough to anger them."
Haomo said with a smile, his face flushed with excitement, because he saw his bullets tearing apart dozens of greenskins with his own eyes.
That feeling is unparalleled!
"Go towards the water tower and come back from behind!"
The three-person team began to move towards the starting point, with the greenskins shooting randomly in their direction from behind.
Soon, Bahram heard a noise overhead, barely louder than the sounds of engines and weapons.
The snipers on the water tower opened fire, and Bahram risked a look back and saw greenskins falling from their machines.
The pumping station is getting closer.
"Go forward in single file!"
Robin ordered, and the three motorcycles immediately leaned together and headed towards the pumping station along a narrow route.
The greenskin convoy continued to advance in a single file, and their distance decreased as the scouts slowed down and lined up.
The ground shook with the crushing machinery.
“Rush!”
Robin shouted loudly, and the three of them relied on their memory to pull up the front of the car suddenly when they approached the ditch, and jumped straight across it.
A few seconds later, warm, pleasant firelight rose behind them.
All in all, Robin's plan was a success.
When the Space Marine's motorcycle jumped up, the pursuing green-skinned bosozō suddenly felt something was wrong, but they had no habit of braking.
With a bone-shaking "Waaaaaargh!", they poured into the channel like a tide, then fell headlong and hit the hard slope.
Accompanied by the scream of the engine and the sound of being crushed into pieces, those crudely made machines disintegrated instantly, which was strangely reminiscent of the scene of smashing toys.
Before the greenskins who fell into the ditch could get up, they fell to the bottom of the pit together with the burning parts, and their intestines were pierced by the blast - this was obviously from the bolt gun. masterpiece.
The ambush warriors began to shoot fiercely at the greenskins trapped at the bottom of the slope, while those greenskin vehicles that did not fall into the pit were stalled by the bursts of fire from snipers high on the water tower.
In the end, with disappointment, dissatisfaction and the common purpose of being united by their bloodthirsty nature, the remaining greenskins turned around and withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only a body that was still twitching slightly. .
The Robin team returned to the starting point and saw Armin smiling.
"Good job, boys."
Saul on the side glanced at the time, and then whispered:
"Everyone, gather in five minutes and retreat to a safe area."
On the third day after the reconnaissance operation, under the command of Captain Ustad, the second company of the Astral Knights, a company of Space Marines coordinated A large number of auxiliary troops pounced on the gathering green-skin tribe with lightning speed. In less than half a day, they destroyed the largest green-skin group on the planet Gages and killed The green boss.
But the training of the new recruits has just begun——
