Chapter 2087 Rat War (Part 2)
Almost at the same moment, Arni on the ground received a signal that the assault troops were in contact with the enemy, so he ordered all troops to start advancing quickly. For this battle, he even sent himself The soldiers also went underground, and at the same time the redeemers of the state religion also pushed the fanaticism of the believers to the highest level.
"At this glorious moment, charge! Until the final judgment comes, charge!"
"For the God-Emperor! Die with glory!!"
Fanatical Believer They ran like a flock of sheep driven by whips. Arni saw that the eyes of the redeemers only had madness and hatred, as if what they were whipping was really just a group of livestock.
Such people and such beliefs made him shudder, but there was no doubt that they had sufficient numbers to fill in all the traps and obstacles created by the traitors and swamp them with sheer numbers.
What happens next?
They may become the "new residents" of the underground, earning considerable profits for the church or others with their daily uninterrupted work.
Arni didn't like this kind of victory, but he had no choice. He just wanted to get out of this quagmire and go to a more glorious battlefield.
“Run! Run!”
Hayes has never tried racing against death, and that's not a good thing.
The number of enemies far exceeded his imagination, and their weapons were not particularly backward. The underground operations during this period allowed them to capture a lot of Astra Militarum equipment. More importantly, they were very determined. , and filled with hatred.
Realizing that he could not hold on for long, Ouranios let the termite boring machine perform the last round of fire support and then left the ground. Then he ordered the entire battalion to rush directly towards the enemy's stronghold!
Because he judged that the enemy used servitors to attract their attention from the front, and then launched a surprise attack on them from both sides by blasting rock formations. In other words, the enemy's force on the front must be relatively weak, and Only by occupying a strong stronghold can they continue to resist the enemy with superior numbers. According to the plan, reinforcements will take at least half an hour to arrive.
But Ouranios did not dare to make such an optimistic estimate. He knew that Arni would definitely not lead the team underground in person. Although it could be controlled remotely, the command would definitely be chaotic. Within two hours, Those troops who can break through the complex network of mine tunnels and encircle the enemies in the stronghold are already very good.
In fact, he was prepared to stand still for five hours, so before the war he asked the soldiers to bring as much drinking water as possible and a certain number of ration bars.
Hayes held the laser gun tightly and ran hard in the dark underground. Because his helmet was broken, his night vision device was also broken. Although he picked up a fallen comrade, that person His night vision device was also broken, so he could only watch the surrounding light and follow the figure in front of him.
During this period, bullets kept flying past his ears, and then there was an explosion, kicking up dirt and gravel. Hayes did not run in a straight line. He also tried to dodge left and right while running. He suddenly understood Hashe As Uncle Te said, no matter how strong you are on the battlefield, it is meaningless, even if you are a Space Marine, it will not help. Only luck can determine who lives and who dies.
“Ah!”
A soldier in the company shouted and fell to the ground. He was shot in the neck, and all the blood splashed on Hayes’s pants. Si immediately used his laser gun to shoot at the possible location of the enemy who was shooting black guns.
I vaguely saw a figure slipping from behind the stone.
As Oranios expected, the defensive force deployed on the front was very weak. They did not expect that these imperial troops would actively attack the front. The traitors who were shocked by the sudden attack were quickly attacked by laser guns. Volley and bayonet killed him, and Hayes jumped over a pile of corpses, just trying to keep up with the group.
Soon the whole battalion passed through the enemy's weak blocking line and rushed into the stronghold full of shacks. When he crossed the metal guardrails, Hayes saw many people in tattered clothes lying face down on the ground. He didn't know whether they were pretending to be dead or really dead, but everyone who passed by would subconsciously stab them with a bayonet, as if this would make them happy. Prevent enemies from resurrecting.
“Deploy a blocking line!”
At this time, Hashet issued a new order
"Suppressive fire over there!"
The people around Hayes raised their laser guns, and a large beam of light rushed through the darkness, and He found the panting Habri, and followed Hashet's instructions to run to a shack stacked on a metal container. There was no one inside, only some sundries, dirty bedding and an unpleasant smell. It had been inhabited before, but certainly not now.
Habry and Winter hurriedly set up logging guns at the window. At this time, the enemy's firepower also increased.
Hayes took the grenade launcher from Peake and fired it in one direction. Then in the light of the fire, he saw three bodies being lifted into the air by the explosion.
The enemies seemed to become angrier after discovering that the Imperial Army had entered their homeland, but they also knew that the Imperial Army's firepower was fierce, so they did not attack directly, but tried to outflank them from other directions as in the past.
So after judging that the enemies had dispersed, Ouranios made a new decision to occupy the geothermal power station.
There are several large facilities in the stronghold, but most of them have strong gates and tight security. Apparently the Red Pirates also handed over authority to the resisters here when they handed over, but only the geothermal power station The exception is that it was built by Angstrom. They have a "backdoor key" that can directly open the door of the facility, and the facility is the lifeline of the entire underground world. Once the power is cut off, the air circulation system, heating system, and other life-support subsystems will be paralyzed.
Then without a single bullet, most of the people underground will die, which will force the resisters to take back the facility at all costs, thus achieving the purpose of attracting them all.
After the order was issued, the troops immediately began to move. As the machine gun squad, Hayes and the others had to ensure that the large forces suppressed the enemy during the transfer, so they were almost the last group to retreat.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
While urging Habri and others to move, Hayes threw grenades in the direction of the enemy's movement. He knew that using a laser gun in this case would only expose his position to the resisters. There must be no night vision equipment. There is not much lighting in this stronghold. On the contrary, grenades can effectively prevent the enemy from pursuing.
Soon their squad began to move towards the geothermal power station. At this time, Ouranios had already used the secret key to open the power station door, but there were enemy guards inside, who could hear it from a distance. to fierce gunfire.
Running on the winding streets, Hayes had to turn around from time to time to see if any enemies appeared behind them. At this moment, he did not notice that a crater suddenly appeared on the ground behind him due to the vibration of the explosion. .
“Yeah!”
The next second, he stepped on the air and fell into the darkness with a scream——
