Chapter 2140 Hell Moon
When the fleet of the First Legion completed its formation, the commander of the Red Pirates had already noticed that something was not right, but with the help of the hulk Crucible of Savagery, the "meat" that could rival the Indomitable Truth ", they are determined to launch a frontal attack and directly penetrate the empire's frontal formation, so as to avoid being surrounded. Anyway, many troops have been sent to the Moon of Destruction. According to their assumptions, it is very easy to seize this immovable planet. Easy thing.
However, just as the Crucible of Savagery slowly approached the Indomitable Truth behind the Moon of Destruction, an accident occurred——
The destruction that the Red Pirates originally thought would not move The moon slowly moved!
As early as during the construction, Soshyan ordered the Mechanicus to install a large number of single-use ultra-high-power thrusters in the propulsion part of the Moon of Destruction. He had no intention of actually using this thing from the beginning. To attack Huron, its real function is to surprise the Red Pirate's fleet in an unexpected way when it approaches!
"This is the plan of Chapter Master Soshyan."
Sappho looked at the gradually accelerating moon of destruction and opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
“It seems that he knew in advance that the Red Pirates would have such a useless ship? Otherwise, it would be impossible to arrange such a tactic by such a coincidence. After all, even if the Moon of Destruction is equipped with more propellers, its speed will not be Soon, it will be difficult to hit ordinary ships, except for space hulks with zero maneuverability, which are absolutely impossible to avoid."
Azrael smiled and said nothing. Just watching the Moon of Destruction gradually increase to its highest speed, the red pirate ships immediately scattered like a school of frightened fish.
But the ship can run, but the Savage Crucible cannot. Although it has incredible subspace power, it cannot avoid a slowly approaching small boat at a distance of more than 300 kilometers. Planet——
Along with the slow to almost still scene, the distance of hundreds of kilometers passed in an instant. The Savage Crucible seemed to hit the Moon of Destruction. The huge hull fell apart in the violent impact, and many swallowed ships were thrown directly. At the same time, large rocks were scattered in all directions, but the silent scene was extremely shocking.
In the end, the Crucible of Savagery lost a third of its hull, and the remaining part was embedded deeply into the Moon of Destruction's crust, like a giant tumor.
Azriel took a deep breath. The moment he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived. After losing the Savage Crucible, the Red Pirates' fleet was just a lamb to be slaughtered.
"All officers, all brothers, attack! Destroy these heretics, for the sake of the Emperor!"
Just as the Imperial fleet began to encircle and suppress the surrounded Red Pirates, the defenders in the Moon of Destruction But they began to experience a real hell battle. Not only did they have to face the troops who had joined the gang and entered the interior of the planet before, they also had to face the enemies who were left in the savage crucible and were desperate.
Since part of the Crucible of Savagery has entered the underground of the Moon of Destruction, a large number of enemies can directly enter the underground through this contact part. The first underground line of defense that was still struggling to hold on was immediately lost. Abubakari's 310th Infantry Regiment Suddenly they became a frontline force, and the A-21-W-118-Z-008 defense zone where they were located immediately had to face the craziest enemy.
At this time, in the defensive station where the regiment headquarters was located, everyone was making final preparations for the battle, because the regiment in front of them had announced that the position had been lost twenty minutes ago, and the battle just now was comparable to The collision of the super earthquake also left everyone with lingering fears. Many people even thought that they would be buried underground forever. To make matters worse, some passages collapsed due to the impact, and some halls destroyed part of their defenses due to huge rock falls. .
Now there is only one passage left behind the entire regiment. Two of the three defense halls originally used as support are no longer usable, and behind them is a rail transit center on the second ring defense line. If here If it falls, the enemy may attack the flanks of surrounding friendly forces.
The order they received was to hold on until the order to retreat was given, or new reinforcements arrived.
However, no one knows when this order will be issued and when reinforcements will arrive——
"Your battalion is doing a good job."
Arney went down to the army and came to see the disgraced Ouranios and the others. At this time, Hayes and the others were devouring ration bars. When they saw the regiment leader, they immediately He stood up and saluted hurriedly.
"You eat, you eat, you have worked hard."
Arnie smiled and pressed his palms. Hayes and the others hesitated for a while, then slowly sat down.
“What about the losses?”
"Eighteen were killed and 34 were wounded. Because we withdrew early, otherwise we would have had to surrender at least half of our people, and the place almost collapsed."
Oulanios picked up the kettle and took a sip, then Wiped his mouth.
"But the loss of equipment is relatively large." "Whatever is missing, just make up for it."
He turned to Suhrab beside him and said:
< br>
"Calculate how much equipment their battalion needs."
"Yes."
Then Arni called Suhrab aside and asked:
"You dock What do you think about coming down to defend?”
“The enemy has many Chaos Space Marines and a large number of Daemon Engines, so heavy weapons, especially anti-vehicle weapons, must be used concentratedly, not just here and there. In addition, The three psykers in the regiment need to keep an eye on them. Due to the presence of a large number of subspace enemies, it is easy for them to lose control when using their power. Now our defense zone is compressed very small. It is recommended to move the headquarters to the back of the passage and add additional troops. Only half of them are on the position, and the other half are used as reserves. Otherwise, if the personnel are too dense, they will be easily killed by the enemy’s heavy firepower.”
Arnie nodded.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
At this moment, he suddenly saw something, patted Oranios and walked over.
It was a group of ragged wounded soldiers, each of whom was almost incomplete. The blood and soil made them look like they had just been dug out of the ground.
Arney recognized them from the numbers on some of their armors as the regiment that previously defended the front line. When the second battalion withdrew, he originally thought that this unit had been wiped out, but he did not expect that there were still two People No. 30 retreated, carrying a stretcher among them.
"Stop."
Hearing Arni's voice, the wounded soldiers stopped immediately. He looked at the stretcher, which was covered by a dirty white cloth.
“Who are you carrying?”
A soldier turned around and saluted him. Only then did Arni notice that there was only one finger left on the other man’s right hand, and the nose on his face had disappeared. .
“Sir, this is our leader.”
"How many people are left in your group?"
"The whole group is here."
Arni stepped forward, gently lifted the cloth, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
This is not a human being, just a half-charred arm, a bloody thigh without a foot, a few blackened bones and a military cap.
He gently put down the cloth, took two steps back, and saluted the silent wounded soldiers, while they continued walking towards the passage with their heads lowered.
After watching these people leave, Arni took a deep breath. The residual smell of blood and burnt smell seemed to be a warning. This might also be his ending——
