Chapter 2903 Standing still and waiting for help
“Okay, very energetic!”
Haisi almost jumped up from Seth’s sudden voice of appreciation, and Soshyan also nodded. There was admiration in his eyes.
"I already understand your thoughts, let's go back to the company first."
"Yes!"
As soon as Hayes saluted, his intestines and stomach suddenly began to move uncontrollably. Although the sound was not obvious on this occasion, Astartes' hearing was enough to catch it.
He immediately blushed and turned to leave, but Soshyan waved to the attendant.
"Bring two cans of antbull to Lieutenant Hayes."
Soon, the attendant delivered a box of canned antbull to Hayes. Hayes was a little hesitant at first and asked. Shi Yang immediately said:
"Don't worry, it has been handled very safely. Open it and eat it. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, how can I let you go back with an empty stomach."
"Thank you, Lord Consul!"
Hayes accepted the can and left the command center.
“This person can be used.”
Soshyan said this to both Bahram and Arash.
“After the fighting here is over, let him go to the temporary class of the Army Senior Officer Academy of the battle group for a period of time, and then assign a new position based on his academic performance.”
After dealing with this episode, Soshyan returned to his daily post, which was in front of the tactical instrument.
At this time, the casualty figures of each stronghold have basically been reported. After Tyron changed his tactics and used small units to harass + poison gas to advance, the casualties of each unit increased, and once the defense pressure of a stronghold After being promoted to the limit, Tyron will seize the opportunity very accurately to launch a general attack.
In the defensive battles of a total of 9 strongholds, 31 Astral Knights were killed, 17 White Templars were killed, 9 Flesh Tearers were killed, and 8 Mantis Warriors were killed, for a total of 65 Aspens. Tate was killed, and the number of mortal troops killed exceeded 120,000. This number may not seem large, but Soshyan is very sad. This is not just cannon fodder that can be pulled casually. This is something he spent a lot of time and resources to create. The output was no less than any elite force of the Astra Militarum. In addition, the losses in terms of weapons were also not small. 87 aircraft of various types, 376 ground armors, anti-aircraft vehicles and artillery, and more than 1,200 heavy support weapons of various types were destroyed. Another 89 combat robots of different types were completely destroyed.
As for light weapons and protective gear, they are even more incalculable.
These are all things that were actually taken out of his pocket. Although many Tyranids were destroyed, Soshyan knew very well that this was meaningless.
No, any, meaning!
As long as the biomass can be recovered, Tyran will have no so-called losses. In order to prevent the other party from obtaining biomass, the bodies of the fallen will be burned immediately.
But even so, Soshiyang knows that in this exchange ratio, it is always the human side that loses.
To defeat the Tyranids, the decisive factor will always be in space. This is why he invested most of his resources in fleet construction. In fact, the company commander has always secretly expressed to him that the soldiers of the legion The numbers are recovering too slowly, but Soshyan disagrees with this view.
Just like the current situation, what's the use of just stuffing 40,000 to 50,000 Space Marines on the ground?
Can they kill all the endless sea of insects?
Expecting to defeat the Tyranids in ground combat is like trying to wipe out all the fish on the beach with a fishing rod. It is a naive and ignorant idea. Large infantry doctrine has limitations. .
“Now we can be said to be trapped in an isolated city.”
After expanding the scope of the war zone, you can see that the Snow Palace is like an isolated island standing in the ocean, but those that appear like liquids What's on the imaging device is actually a poisonous fog.
"The Tyranids have evolved many units that can climb and glide for a short period of time. The cliffs around the Snow Palace are no longer natural dangers. We must always be vigilant."
At this time, Seth, Arash, Metellus, Andal and others had gathered around the imaging device. Soshyan dragged the "soldiers" one by one with his hands and deployed them in various defense areas of the Snow Palace. , this efficient way of issuing tactical orders was also something he borrowed from the Eldar. After all, it was a waste of time to report a lot of names every time a deployment was carried out. After the troop cards were deployed, they would be communicated directly to the specific personnel through the command center. force. "The current task is to defend, and the key to defense lies in the deployment of firepower, personnel and materials. The Astartes can stay awake, but mortals always have to eat, drink and relieve themselves. The current survival material reserves of the Snow Palace are estimated to be able to use 2 Months, but ammunition is relatively scarce, especially heavy ammunition. According to the current defense pressure, it can last for up to a month before it is exhausted. Fortunately, the total output power of the reactor under the Snow Palace has been increased after improvements by the Mechanicus Order. 170%, so there is no supply problem for energy weapons for the time being."
At this time, Metellus asked:
"Since the arrival of the first Tyran creature. , We have adhered to the 26 standard Terra days, right?”
Soshyan nodded.
"Yes."
"How long will it take to hold on?"
"It depends on the speed of the Malaki brothers."
Although the battle No one had any doubts before, but after seeing the high-intensity attack rhythm of Tyranids, many space warriors were a little shaken. After all, it is difficult for people to feel safe when they completely entrust their lives to another person.
Metellus's confidence was obviously not as strong as it was at the beginning. After hesitating for a moment, he said slowly:
"If there is an accident over there, what should we do here?"
Soshyan noticed that Seth and others were looking at him. Although they had no expressions, they were obviously concerned about this issue. After all, To put it bluntly, no matter how militant a chapter leader is, he still has to consider the survival of the chapter. No one really wants to lead the entire regiment to death on the same battlefield.
This has nothing to do with bravery or cowardice, but a responsibility that the Chapter Leader must shoulder.
But Soshyan was extremely confident and even answered the question with a smile.
“No matter what accident happens, I guarantee that everyone can leave this world safely. As long as we hold on, there will be a way. But I believe even more that the descendants of Sanguinius will never be late, no matter if it is ten thousand years. Before, or ten thousand years later.”
Seeing how confident he was, Metellus said nothing and nodded.
"Then let us eliminate more aliens for the Emperor!"
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Hayes just returned to the company and entered the tent to sit down I put a can in my backpack on a chair that I didn’t know where to move, and put another one on the small table. Just when I was about to pry open the can to fill my stomach, Tiffany rushed in like a whirlwind, followed by others. several people.
“What’s wrong?”
Hayes was stunned for a moment and stopped holding the can knife in his hand. He didn't know what was wrong with this guy.
Little Feiton ran to him with a face of surprise, then bent down and held Hayes' arm.
"Uncle, I don't want to be a medic anymore, give me the position of company commander!"
"Hey, why are you so crazy?"
Hayes shook him off Then he continued to open his own can, then lit the portable stove and put the opened can on the fire to bake, and soon a strong fragrance came out.
Although I feel that no candidates will read novels at this time, I still wish all readers taking the college entrance examination a successful start and a title on the gold list
