Chapter 3047: A brutal battle
“For the Emperor! For the blood of Sanguinius!”
Those chilling roars echoed in the air, and the Flesh Tearers used their usual Fighting in the same way - that is, crazy close combat. There were about forty or fifty blood-red figures on the entire battlefield. The flagpole was planted on the ground, letting the scarlet flag flutter in the strong wind.
“They were pretty fast this time.”
Hayes, who was standing on the hatch of the Chimera, grunted and pulled out his chain sword.
"Expand! Arrange the line of fire! Suppress the enemy!"
The first to fire were Chimeras and various vehicles. Various Tyranid aliens rushed over and impacted the temporary defensive cordon formed by the Space Marines. .
After receiving fire support from the auxiliary army, the pressure on the Flesh Tearers eased slightly. At this time, more troops from Hayes' regiment also arrived here, and their regiment leader also arrived in a command vehicle. , the commander of the Flesh Tearers retreated from the front line and began to communicate with the regiment commander.
A few minutes later, a repair plan was formed. The Auxiliary Army conducted fire suppression, and the militiamen took the initiative to push the Tyranids out of the gap. Then the Mechanicus Repair Vehicles would quickly repair the place with quick-drying materials.
“Concentrate fire on those samurai bugs!!”
After receiving the mission order, as a frontal fire support company, Hayes immediately arranged for the soldiers to establish a shooting position, and their light and heavy weapons soon began to roar.
A large group of aliens fell under the bombardment of bullets, plasma and lasers. Their chitin-covered corpses rolled in the ash and mud, their severed limbs were blown away, and pus was dragged through the air. Out of filaments.
But they are still coming.
The Tyranid aliens swept over the breach of the dam like a living tide with sharp blades. The Space Marines no longer faced the enemy head on, but appeared on both sides of the enemy, with deadly and masterful attacks. of skill wielding battle axes, chainswords, and war hammers.
Part of the company in the regiment was sent to the protective wall. The 20-meter-high protective wall, combined with various firepower points and automatic turrets, was enough to withstand most of the Tyranids, but obviously this breakthrough had been discovered, and the enemy The density is increasing significantly, the original firepower is not enough, and more firepower needs to be added to the parapet.
Under unreserved ferocious firepower, the Tyranids who tried to break through the gap began to be gradually repelled, and more than two regiments of militiamen were also gathered. Among them were old and young. The youngest seemed to be only fourteen years old, and the oldest They were over sixty years old, and their clothes were not even neatly dressed. They looked worse than militiamen, not even gang members.
But in order to give them a certain combat effectiveness, Hayes's regiment still had to use some weapons to support them. The regiment instructor wearing silver-gray force feedback power armor stood high on the ammunition box and faced The militiamen roared:
"The betrayal of your kind has brought shame to all of you! This is an insult to the soul and spirit! It must be washed away with blood! So! Take up arms! Charge to the enemy! Two One person has a gun! The one in front falls, and the one behind picks it up and continues to charge!"
The force feedback power armor of this regiment instructor makes him look very majestic, but it is also different from the various standard forces of the empire! Feedback power armor is very different. It is actually an armor independently designed by Ulanhuda at the request of Soshiyan. It combines the three elements of protection, flexibility and cost. It is heavier than the power armor of the Battle Sister, but it is also heavier than the power armor of the Battle Sister. The Inquisition's Hammer-type power armor is lighter, and its appearance is close to the Ignatus-type power armor developed by the Adeptus Mechanicus for the Heretic Inquisition, but it uses part of the technology of the Wanderer-type individual armor passed down by the Soshyan family. , mainly because of the unique cycle battery technology, this power armor does not need to carry an additional heavy external power source. As for other parts, it is not very special, because its core requirement is to be able to be mass-produced, and being too expensive obviously does not meet this requirement. This type of power armor can give a mortal nearly half of the strength of a Space Marine and about 60% of the defense capabilities of a Space Marine power armor. It also has a built-in life support system and a helmet with primary mental protection capabilities. Only instructors of the regiment and above can use it. Qualified to wear this Eternal Eagle type force feedback power armor.
Soon, weapons were distributed to the militiamen who looked embarrassed. Although laser guns were the weapons they had always wanted, it was obviously not the case, and more than half of them used primitive live ammunition weapons and melee weapons.
But the Flesh Tearers who are anxious to close the gap will not take so much care.
"Charge!"
With the order given, the militiamen began to rush towards the Tyranid aliens who were still crowding towards the gap in groups under the cover of firepower from the auxiliary army.
A samurai bug let out an excited howl and fell into the crowd. As the sharp blade was swung, five people turned into mutilated corpses. The rest screamed and shot at it randomly. This only angered it and made it angry. It's more crazy killing.
"With His blood we conquer!!"
With a roar, a Flesh Tearer with a jetpack ignited fell from the sky, and crushed the warrior bug under his feet the moment he landed.
Then he turned around and fired directly into the fanged mouth of a Tyranid beast at close range, and then swung the chain ax in his hand to split the other end. The Samurai Bug jumped over, and his appearance brought fear and courage to the militiamen. As if infected by the crazy temperament of the Flesh Tearers, they also howled and attacked the enemy like wild beasts. The ones who had been on the flanks were The Flesh Tearers finally entered the battle, leading the militiamen to work together to push the Tyranids out of the gap. .
However, the brave warrior who broke in first quickly ran into trouble. Just as he was leading the militiamen to chop and charge, a spiked claw crossed his shoulder and pierced his chest. First.
The Flesh Tearer grasped the alien's claw and twisted it around, and slashed the chain saw into the upper shoulder of the roaring Tyranid warrior. But that thing was not an ordinary warrior bug, but a warrior leader. , its carapace withstood the blow and did not allow the chain saw to penetrate further. Then the alien used one of its forelimbs to embed itself into the Space Marine's breastplate and the other to grab the Space Marine's helmet.
Amidst the tooth-piercing friction sound, the Tyranid warrior commander tore open the ceramite and plastic steel plates with brute force, and the sealing layer at the neck of the power armor was also torn in half.
The Flesh Tearer fell to the ground. The surrounding militiamen were frightened when they saw this. They didn’t know how to help the angel for a while. The half-broken helmet revealed a face that turned crimson. , with an angry face twisted, the flesh tearer was still blinking his exposed right eye hard, trying to get rid of the sensory information confusion caused by his damaged automatic sensory system, but his weapon fell when he fell, only It can firmly grasp the enemy's claws with both hands and prevent them from piercing its head.
What's worse is that a vixen is nearby, walking towards the downed Space Marine.
