Chapter 1792 Night Attack


Chapter 1792 Night Attack

After confirming that the water supply station was captured, Arni listened to the opinions of the military advisers and first sent soldiers to search the surrounding water pipes, because many pipes were buried underground. The little soldiers like Hayes are very tired.

However, they searched the ground for a radius of two kilometers and could not find a few drainage pipe openings that were still open. It seemed that they had been blown up long ago. The limited entrances and exits were also blown up by soldiers with bombs. , it seems they have completed their mission.

But this phenomenon made a senior street fighting expert around Arni alert.

Judging from the enemy corpses found after the war, there were about 500 enemy troops stationed here (and the attackers lost more than 300 people this time), which was far lower than the Armageddonians. The numbers given, even if some of them were wiped out in previous battles, should not be that small, and the enemy should not have no support at all for such an important frontline node.

Therefore, the consultant judged that the enemy was probably hiding at the entrance and exit of the pipeline, and there was a considerable number of enemies hidden inside. On the one hand, they were avoiding damage from the shelling, and on the other hand, they were waiting for the occupiers to launch a counterattack when they were most relaxed to regain their position.

Considering the complex terrain of the battlefield, it is difficult to find these hidden entrances and exits. The consultant believes that the best way is to station a small number of troops in the stronghold, and the other troops will withdraw to further places to organize two In the new line of defense, when the enemy rushes out of the pipeline, the garrison troops will immediately retreat, then use Xu Jin's barrage to kill the enemy and launch a counterattack to eliminate the enemy's effective forces hiding in the underground pipeline.

After hearing this, Arni did not dare to make a decision on his own, because their superiors ordered them to occupy this place. If they were taken back after occupying it, then the responsibility would be huge.

As a noble child, Arni has a natural sensitivity to systems and rules. He briefly compiled the battle report, and then reported the current situation to the lord commander in charge of the front, along with the A consultant's tactics - in his name, of course.

The superior quickly gave him a reply that the plan could be implemented, and another force would come to help them consolidate their occupation of this place. This would be the most important breakthrough on this front. Once the gap is broken, The armored troops can drive into the enemy's hinterland from here.

With the permission of his superiors, Arni immediately made a decision. The entire second battalion and a company of the third battalion stayed in the stronghold. Of course, this tactical decision was not informed to the following as always. After all, the morale and will of these soldiers were very good. It’s hard to reassure people because if they were informed in advance, trouble might occur.

In this way, Hayes and others stayed in the ruined position, and the explanation they received was that the place was too small to accommodate a whole regiment, because they were the first to attack and could enjoy such "Honour".

It was difficult to distinguish between day and night in the nest, but according to the time given by the clock, it was already midnight. After hastily eating ration sticks, everyone began to set up positions and arrange vigils.

Because the water supply station had been blown up and leaked from all sides, everyone simply plugged the big holes with corpses and left the small holes alone. The people on duty stood on high places, and a few portable searchlights were used. High above, surveying the dark ruins around you.

Everyone was tired, and a day of bloody fighting filled the air with a tense energy, a mix of fear and excitement.

Although baptized by fire, the presence of blasphemy is still strong in the ruins of the water station. Traces of heresy can be seen in the scrawled writings on the remaining walls and the symbols carved on the ground.

There was also a stench in the air that would not transfer, even beyond the stench of burnt flesh - a sickly smell of decay.

Their current conditions are very limited in what they can do against this filth, but the military chaplains still try their best to help, through simple blessings and incense prayers to combat the occasionally visible stains of Chaos, and to establish a Create a simple Aquila emblem so that resting soldiers can feel safer for their souls.

A silence gradually fell on the stronghold, as if waiting for the inevitable. Some people remained vigilant against sudden attacks, while some believed that this vigilance was a complete waste because the enemy had already been eliminated and defeated. .

Hayes is the third type of person, that is, he thinks about nothing. He looked tiredly at the burning bonfire in front of him, feeling a heavy fatigue eroding his bones. He hadn't had a good sleep for several days. In this place full of blood smell, even the little comfort of the bottom kennel suddenly became strangely nostalgic. He found himself thinking of a bowl of The frothy biting clam soup will make your mouth water.

Once upon a time, this was a very ordinary pleasure.

Now, it seems to have become a dream gone by.

For a moment, just for a moment, he forgot that he had become a soldier, forgot the endless scolding of the officer, forgot the worry about death, and imagined taking a sip of warm, thick , frothy, just the right fishy smell, a shell soup that no one of any standing would look down on.

Leaning on the cold concrete wall, Hayes half-closed his eyes, loosened his fingers holding the kettle, and the gun slid aside from his shoulder.

Gradually, his consciousness blurred, and he had a similar dream. He was still an Astartes, but he was no longer as high-spirited as before. He was in a flesh and blood purgatory, alone and tormented by the infinite. Surrounded by endless monsters, he yelled, swung his sword, and shot, but there were more and more of them, those rotting faces, those dead faces

Suddenly, the dream was broken, and gunfire sounded.

"Enemy attack!"

A panicked voice came, and the people in the stronghold took action immediately, and people rushed to pick up their guns.

The fire was put out, the kettle was knocked over, and Hayes saw a soldier standing on a high ground fall down, and those bullets were aimed accurately.

He quickly grabbed the gun beside him and looked around to see where the others were. He found that the searchlights had been shattered. This was the worst situation. The light outside almost disappeared. This way he needed to find the enemy snipers. is very difficult.

Hayes lowered his body and ran to Hashet. Several people in the stronghold had been knocked down. The rest were cursing crazily, and the officers were also trying to maintain order.

“Keep calm!”

Their company commander shouted:

“Remember your training! Wait for my signal.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the darkness was illuminated by a series of bright lights, and the sound of laser bursts filled the air.

A soldier from the same battalion on Hayes's left fell heavily to the ground, covering his shoulders and screaming. The burning stench gushed out from the wound. Hayes quickly lowered his head in fear, fearing that the enemy would hit him. On his head, even though he was wearing a helmet - he had understood one thing after a battle, the armor on his body could only provide psychological comfort and had almost no substantial protection.
