Chapter 1720 The bloody battle at Hacksaw Mountain (4)
“Contact General Guillermo and tell him that we need to reorganize our firepower——”
Faced with emergencies, Creed was the first It was time to contact friendly forces, but what he said was a little late. All Krieg officers are field promotion officers. All things about leadership are instilled in them from the time they are exposed to combat. On the battlefield, through swaying What they learned through their blood and sweat has become almost instinctive, so they don't need instructions from their superiors to respond immediately.
The firepower of mortars and heavy weapons platoons took the lead in covering the followers of Khorne, but the protection of the power armor allowed the traitors to pass through the storm of fragments without hesitation, and hoarse howls erupted from the deformed giant. Billowing out of the mouth and sound generator, filling the surrounding air, the huge and weird blood-colored walls approached at a terrifying speed. They were all too fast, and the genetically modified bodies quickly shortened the distance between each other and entered the fatal range.
Subsequently, a barrage of scorching lasers erupted from the simple bunker, each shot cutting the air with a harsh "hissing" sound, but it was of no avail, even the hell gun that could penetrate power armor Even the maximum power shot cannot effectively kill the traitor Astartes' body.
The Cadians on the wall were shooting too.
Many of the charging Chaos Heretics just shook their bodies, and then continued to charge forward, their ugly faces showing the fury filled with the desire to kill.
Although the heavy cannons on the wall began to turn around and fired fierce fire in an attempt to destroy the Khorne warriors that were approaching quickly, their shooting angles were too high and their speed was too slow to hit any target.
The low sound of the heavy bolter's mechanical ricochet filled Creed's hearing. Heavy weapons teams and special weapons crews from all over the bunker whipped the formation of Chaos Space Marines with longitudinal fire, and successfully succeeded Some of them were knocked down, but under the violent desire of the Blood God, most of the traitor Astartes were about to rush into the Krieg lines.
“Concentrate the fire, concentrate the fire!”
Just as Creed was trying to deal with the Chaos Space Marines, he suddenly heard an unusual cry.
He turned around and looked down, and saw that under the broken protective wall, hidden wells suddenly opened, and then a large number of mutants and traitors rushed out with weapons in hand, and crashed directly into the Cadian front. both sides.
Creed's hands and feet suddenly became cold. He realized that he had underestimated these traitors. Even if they lost the protective wall, it did not mean that they had to sit still and wait to die.
"Enemies! Quick! Change direction!"
Aware of enemies appearing from the side and behind, the Cadians of the 8th Regiment quickly adjusted their direction and used firepower to kill those who tried to engage in close combat. Cultist, but the other party is already too close.
Bayonets, machetes, maces and daggers clashed in the small space. The downed corpses soon filled the ground filled with the ashes of the dead. A large number of traitors were all stabbed down by the bayonets of the Qadian soldiers, but there were also many stuck The Deans fell to the savage weapons of the heretics.
The two sides fought together, but the battlefield became more favorable to the Red Pirates.
While commanding the Eighth Regiment to fight back the enemies emerging from the underground, Creed sent an emergency rescue signal to the orbit. Every regiment-level officer will have such authority, but if the post-war evaluation is used If the standards are not met, the permission will be revoked.
At this time, the traitor Astartes had already rushed to the temporary defensive position of the 861st Regiment of Krieg.
Under Creed's shocked eyes, Krieg's officers adjusted the power of their power swords to maximum, and then jumped out of the abandoned trench, followed by the grenadiers, combat engineers and assault troops. , holding a laser rifle with a bayonet in his hand, or pulling out a dagger and engineer shovel from his waist, rushing straight towards the Chaos Space Marines.
"For His Majesty the God Emperor, we will do our duty to death!"
This was the only slogan they shouted in the audience.
Then Creed saw a shocking scene. More than a dozen Krieg soldiers lined up in a column and rushed directly towards the Chaos Space Marine. Even though the bullets fired by the bolters hit the Krieg's The array created a sea of death, but did not stop their pace at all.
The muffled sound of the Krieg soldiers falling echoed in the blasphemous roars of the traitors "Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God". As his comrades in front continued to die, Creed could see clearly that the last engineers had powerful explosive bags tied to their bodies, and the fuses had been lit.
Creed's eyes twitched. This was the first time he had seen such a terrifying tactic, using the flesh and blood of more than a dozen soldiers as cover, just to allow the last man to carry out a suicidal close-range explosion.
Looking at the charging Krieg soldiers, the Chaos Space Marines became excited. The chain axes created horrific wounds on the bodies of the Krieg soldiers, tearing their corpses apart and charging. Almost all the Krieg soldiers in the first row were lost within seconds of the engagement.
But they have created enough distance for their comrades behind them. With deafening war cries and explosions, dark gray and blood red collided together.
Those Chaos Space Marines never figured out what killed them until they died.
In an instant, the dazzling red color on the battlefield was reduced by half, with only a dozen left.
And what they paid, according to Creed's own visual inspection, was at least five hundred Krieg soldiers.
"Sir! General Guillermo called, and he said that they will continue to attack!"
< br>Accompanied by this telegram and a whistle, all the Krieg soldiers rushed out of the bunker and strode towards the Blood God believers side by side, like a giant gray living wave.
Boom——
A loud noise came from above Creed's head. He turned his head and saw that part of the fortress was collapsing. At the same time, a formation of three bombers quickly came from above. pass by.
Then there was a dull roar, and the Thunderhawk swooped down from the sky, streaking over the Krieg's heads. The bullet it fired knocked down a Khorne warrior, and then hovered in mid-air.
A giant in golden and blue armor jumped down from the open hatch.
"We are the pride of the Emperor, hear our roar!"
Sergeant Aiken Dubaku of the Tianshi Chapter brandished his chainsword and walked quickly from the Krieg's Rushing through the queue, heading straight for a heretic wielding a battle ax wildly.
“Death to heretics!”
Hearing the roar, the heretic turned around, raised his battle ax and tried to block, but the heavy blows from the chain sword made him stagger, and then several laser beams hit his face, briefly dazzling him.
Aiken Dubaku cut off the opponent's arm and head with a direct sword strike. At the same time, the other eleven Celestial Lion warriors also collided with Khorne's heretics, relying on the Krieg's offensive. , quickly kill the remaining traitors.
Crider finally breathed a sigh of relief, staggered back two steps and leaned against the broken bunker that still retained the scorching residual heat. Then he instinctively wiped his face and found that his hands were covered with a mixture of sweat and blood. .
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he felt a shaking under his feet. Creed quickly realized that the wall seemed to be collapsing.
