Chapter 1798 Group photo
“Me?”
The strange man who suddenly appeared pointed to his nose when he heard Hachet’s question, and his smile became even weirder.
But suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared and became very serious. This extreme change of mood made Hayes a little stunned.
“I am your company commander.”
"Huh?"
Everyone was in an uproar, even Hayes.
Hachet’s face was full of doubts.
“You are our company commander? Why didn’t I hear about it?”
“Your previous company commander died, and now I am.”
Hayes blurted out immediately.
"What's the name of the company commander? I don't even remember the name of the last company commander."
"My name is Oranios."
Speaking, the weird man jumped off the sandbag, came to Hayes, then threw away the gun, picked up the ice cream that Hashet had left for Hayes, and took a bite before Hayes could stop him. big.
"Wait, this is——"
"Children, don't eat so many sweets, they will get tooth decay~"
Hachet stretched out his hand to put his hand on the other person's shoulder.
"Hey, hey, what do you mean by bullying a child right away? You said you are a company commander, what evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?"
The man then He pulled his neck and shouted.
"Political Commissar!"
After a while, Ayi ran over. Just now he was organizing the soldiers to build a holiday tree.
"Political Commissar, am I the new company commander?"
Ayi glanced at it, then smiled at Hachet:
"Olanios The captain is the new company commander, just transferred.”
Hachet was speechless now.
Olanios finished the remaining ice cream in several mouthfuls, then wiped his mouth and said:
"Let's go to the festival!" Although the other party ate his own ice cream, Hai Si was a little angry, but at least he remembered the name of the new company commander this time. Soon the soldiers began to celebrate Sanguinius' Day, and the logistics was also a rare occasion, and they even delivered beer.
Tonight, there will be a celebration party here at the place where they fought and died. The soldiers who survived the disaster will celebrate their victory. They will drink, revel, laugh and think freely. Peaceful days.
Tomorrow, the war will continue.
While in high-altitude orbit, Arash, who had been struggling to open up a situation, finally received good news on Sanguinius Day. In the Brunsk Hive, an unexpected breakthrough shook the enemy. As for the defense line of the army, the Astra Militarum decisively invested armored forces, expanding the breach from a few kilometers to dozens of kilometers, and did the opposite, using the enemy's effective pipe maneuvering tactics to quickly bypass the enemy's flank and attack with elite assault troops. Attack from behind.
Although the final offensive was stopped by the enemy Chaos Space Marines, the lower hive of Brunsk Hive has been basically occupied. This is the first time in the month since the Battle of Drad Star that it is possible to liberate a hive.
As the newly appointed commander of the regiment, and was entrusted by Soshiyang with the important task of commander of the theater, Arash has always had a heavy burden in his heart. He was worried that he had failed to live up to the expectations of the regiment commander, and he was even more worried about himself. It damaged the honor of the chapter and thus affected the progress of the entire expedition.
This victory was a blessing after a long drought for him. Arash immediately sent a commendation telegram to the commander of the front in the name of the theater commander.
Not only that, in order to boost morale, he also specially commended some outstanding frontline commanders and personally awarded them the Winged Skull Medal - a traditional badge with a long history, which is usually carved from iron. , which typically adorns the pauldrons of armor, is often widely awarded to line commanders who display inspiring leadership during a victory.
In addition, the most unique thing about the Winged Skull Medal is that it is the only medal in the Astra Militarum that is derived from the Adeptus Astartes. The Winged Skull Medal is also used within the Chapter. , as the symbol of a non-commissioned officer, its history can be traced back to the era of the Great Crusade.
During this process, a special hero was "operated" by certain forces to come to Arash, that is the commander of Abubakari's 310th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Arni Morales .
Alash was also a little surprised. He did not expect that the person who opened the situation would be such a young officer with no previous military experience. What was even more surprising was that he led an army with the lowest level and the principle of combat effectiveness. It should be the weakest cannon fodder group.
So he met with Colonel Arni Morales alone and highly praised his performance in leading a weak brigade but achieving incredible results, as well as his courage to go to the front line and fight the enemy at close range. He was then awarded the Order of the Winged Skull and praised as having a "promising future".
After that, Arash personally went to the front line of the nest, inspected various fronts, and gave instructions to the frontline commanders to "do not be afraid of sacrifice and fight to the end." Finally, he came to Abu Bakari accompanied by a group of senior officers. 310th Infantry Regiment.
This was also the first time that Hayes saw a real Space Marine. Although they were five or six hundred meters away and there were guards blocking the way, it made him almost scream with excitement.
With that towering figure, that mighty armor, and that awe-inspiring temperament, Hayes was convinced that that was a man's ultimate goal.
Arash was busy with military affairs and did not have time to stay too long. After a brief look, and with Arni's repeated pleas, he planned to take a photo with the officers and left.
While taking a group photo, Arash suddenly caught a glimpse of Hayes, who was staring excitedly behind the guard's arms. This little guy's size was really out of tune with the people around him, and he was spotted at a glance.
Driven by some sudden curiosity, Arash waved to him.
At that moment, Hayes seemed to be in a dream. He walked to the Space Marine almost like sleepwalking. Against the backdrop of the other's huge figure, he really looked like a child.
Arash first asked his name, and then his age. When he learned that he had just turned sixteen, he immediately praised him as a "little hero", and then the sharp-eyed Arash paid attention Seeing that Hayes's hair was a little weird, he reached out and lifted off the opponent's helmet. Thirteen neat strands of hair suddenly stuck to his bare head, and everyone burst into laughter.
Even Arash smiled. He touched Hayes' head and said that he was a "lucky little hero blessed by the emperor." After all, in the empire, thirteen is an auspicious number.
When Arash invited Hayes to take a photo with him, Hayes even thought that he heard wrongly. He never thought that he could stand with those officers and even the Astartes. However, this incident It just happened.
Then Arney unloaded the regiment flag from the flagpole and handed it to Hayes, who held the flag and took a photo with everyone. This was supposed to be an honor, but the awkward part came. When everyone stood in position, Hayes Because he was too short, the flag dragged on the floor in his hands. The photographer could only keep asking him to raise it higher, and then raise it higher——
When the camera finally took the picture with a few slight clicks When taking the photo, only the serious-looking officers, the majestic Space Marines, and an inexplicably "hanging" regimental flag were left in the picture
