Chapter 958 Advance
"Idiots! Don't panic! Hold on! Hold on! Reinforcements are coming soon!"
Although they encountered a fatal surprise attack, the cultists who survived the attack were defeated by the officers. Despite their blades and encouragement, they fought back, laser gun beams buzzing in the air and grenades exploding with staccato crackles on the sides of the charred buildings.
“Rush!”
Hao Mo ran into the street and headed straight for a parked armed truck.
The autocannons were already turning their turrets, but the Astartes were too close and too fast for these mortals to use their weapons effectively.
The beam of the laser gun scorched the air around him. Hao Mo took out his pistol and fired two shots quickly, killing the driver and weapons hand directly.
“Cross the intersection!”
Armin ordered through the communication bead.
They ran to the middle of the parked troop carriers, Hauma threw two fragmentation grenades into the compartments of the two vehicles he could reach, and Robin fired on the move a little further down the street. Several soldiers simultaneously hit the oil drums in the square in front with explosive bombs.
The bomb easily penetrated the steel plate, causing a huge explosion.
It only took Haoma a few seconds to reach the other side of the intersection, only to find himself attacked from three different directions.
There were actually more than five hundred cultists near the stronghold. Although they lost the leadership of the Chaos Space Marines, they instinctively opened fire on the charging Astartes.
A laser struck Hauma in the chest, but his ceramic armor withstood the onslaught.
Robin was also hit several times.
He shot one cultist point blank with his pistol, then impaled another with his power sword.
Hauma saw an enemy sergeant on the left hastily raising his laser gun and pointed it at him, so he shot the man twice, then rushed into the remaining soldiers, swinging the weapon and killing Killed every cultist and rebel he could reach.
The figures were scattered in the dark room, shooting at Haoma with laser guns and simple pistols.
One laser beam hit his right leg, and two more hit his chest. Warning messages flashed on the armor, but the integrity of the armor was still within acceptable limits. Inside.
He rushed towards the traitors, his two powerful legs driving him through the surrounding crowd, his pistol fired again and again, each shot hit the vital point, killing one who stood up from the bunker. Get up and try to switch positions to surround his assholes.
Haoma had just climbed the tallest pile of rubble when he saw an energy field flickering low to his left.
He dodged to the right and blocked the blow with his chainsword, barely saving his leg from being severed at the knee.
"The false emperor's lackey!!"
Although the first sneak attack missed, the chain sword of the Black Legion heretic still scratched Haoma's left calf, causing him to Stumbled.
Enemies came from all directions and pulled the trigger on Haoma. He was hit in the head, shoulder and chest. Although the armor was still intact, the sensor showed that the armor status changed from amber to red.
He heard the crackle of his chainsword as the Chaos Space Marines came after him to kill him.
Hao Mo reluctantly turned around and blocked it with his sword. The heretic roared and wanted to quickly pierce the head of the enemy in front of him, but a side-fired explosive shell penetrated his heart, and then Hao Mo Mo cut off the opponent's head with his backhand.
Another Rebel took the fallen Chaos Space Marine's place and attempted to drive a bayonet into Haumo's throat. The Squad Leader contemptuously blocked the thrust with his arm before knocking him away with a backhand blow. That mortal head.
The remaining cultists immediately fled in all directions.
Robin put away his gun and nimbly sprinted down the slope.
"Are you okay, brother?"
He reached out his hand to support Haoma.
"Ah, it's okay, that guy is hiding in the ruins, and he almost got caught just now."
At this time, Armin's voice suddenly sounded.
"The enemy has captured the southern entrance, we want to get it back."
The 10th Company, which had just experienced a fierce battle, immediately mobilized again. Fortunately, there have been no serious casualties or deaths yet. After continuing two hundred meters further west, they arrived at the entrance to the core area of the fortress, but Armin did not rush to attack, but asked the three captains to conduct pre-battle reconnaissance on their own.
“I saw those people built some fortifications for the heretics.”
Looking at the scene ahead, Hao Mo couldn’t help but complain.
He, Robin and Oscar squatted in the corner of a burned-out building 100 meters away from the entrance, looking at the ruins and twisted street lights.
From their position they could see a track and tall, wide gates leading to the outskirts of the fortress.
There is no doubt that the defenders had heavily guarded the entrance, built two permanent fortresses on both sides, used heavy weapons to create deadly crossfire on the road leading to the gate, and dug in The trenches provided cover for armored vehicles.
Buildings within 50 meters of the fortifications were razed to the ground, creating a killing field without cover or concealment.
This would have been a formidable firepower point in anyone's eyes, and Hauma would have been encouraged by its presence were it not for the fact that the fortifications were now manned by the enemy.
"It seems that there has been a fierce battle here,"
Robin whispered that even though it was already dusk, their eyesight could still examine the fortress as closely as anyone with a pair of large magnifying glasses.
"Most of the turrets have been destroyed, and there is a burned-out armored vehicle on each berm."
Homa snorted pessimistically, they could see four turrets along the berm Get in line.
"Fortunately there are no more armored vehicles."
"They may be called to reinforce another part of the defense line."
"I bet there are probably mines in those lands."
Oscar took a deep breath, concentrated, and studied the fortress again.
He could see many signs that the fortifications had been hit by heavy artillery fire, but he could not deduce how the Black Legion had managed to capture these fortifications. There were neither corpses nor burned-out vehicle remains in the open field, This suggests that a raid took place.
In fact, this level of fortifications cannot stop the Astartes, but it delays enough and can pose a certain threat to recruits without power armor.
“If we have enough time, we can wait until night and launch a night attack. This will have a high probability of success.”
Robin spoke his mind.
“But what we lack most now is time.”
At this moment, they can hear the fierce gunshots coming from the fortress.
"What do you think we should do, brother Oscar?"
Hao Mo suddenly noticed Oscar's serious look on his face and asked.
"How do we seize that gate?"
Oscar studied the fortifications for a while and suddenly smiled:
"Oh, I think we should run up and ask them to let us in."
Robin glanced at Oscar gloomily.
“This isn’t funny, bro, we’re in a war zone.”
"It just so happened that I wasn't joking this time."
Soon, the three-person team returned to the team and told everything they saw.
Armin naturally asked if they had a plan. Hao Mo and Robin looked at Oscar at the same time, and a sly smile immediately appeared on the sergeant's face.
When he revealed his plan, everyone, including Armin, was frightened——
