Chapter 45, The Governor will take action
Purbov's heart felt cold.
He knew very well what would happen if these monsters really broke through the fire blockade and rushed into their faces.
The Abscess Spitter, who I thought was very dangerous among the enemies, was actually nothing at all. The most terrifying ones are the ordinary abscess monsters.
The main thing is that there are too many of them.
Once caught in close combat, although the soldiers were equipped with bayonets, they naturally had no way to fire again during close combat. When more and more almost endless monsters rush in, how can his men defeat the enemy with simple bayonets?
Even if a soldier can kill three or five abscess monsters in close combat, it is useless. The enemy will use an even larger number to completely swamp them.
In fact, there are already signs of this.
There were already twice as many zombie dogs as before. After the firepower weakened, they took the lead in rushing into the soldiers' lines.
This is the first step to shake the entire defense line.
The zombie dogs that rush in need to be dealt with by soldiers at close range, and as long as they spend a little more time dealing with these zombie dogs, it will further weaken the firepower, and there may be more in the future. If zombie dogs rush in, the situation will quickly enter a vicious circle and collapse quickly.
Purbov can see the trend.
But there was something he couldn't do.
He was shouting at the top of his lungs, asking the soldiers to hold on and ensure their firepower.
But it's hard.
The soldiers under his command are not cowards, but pain, strong wind, and white fog are all objective difficulties that cannot be overcome by simply overcoming them.
Especially the white fog seriously damaged the soldiers' vision. Even if they could stick to their combat positions, all they could do was shoot blindly into the surrounding fog. Only when you get closer can you see some vague figures.
The decline in shooting accuracy greatly reduces the power of the fire network.
What he can really and effectively do at this moment is to let more important firepower units maintain the attack.
The mortar positions unified under the command of the battalion headquarters cannot be stopped, and Purbov also asked the mortar crews to place the landing points of the shells closer.
Previously, most of the artillery shells were fired at the edge of the forest as the first wave of killing and interception. Don't put it too close, because you are worried about accidental damage. At the same time, after the enemy gets closer, the formation will become sparse due to the casualties on the charge, which will reduce the lethality of artillery fire.
But I can't care about that now.
In addition, even the machine gunners deployed at various points worked hard to stay at their posts. Their situation will be slightly better. The small temporary positions built with wooden boards and sandbags at the firepower point can block the wind a little. The machine gunners endured the pain and lay on the ground, holding their fingers around the trigger. They didn't care whether the barrel would overheat and become scrapped, and they poured bullets into the mist like crazy.
At the same time, the firepower of the four Ramblers never stopped.
It is precisely because these three important firepower points of mortars, machine guns, and machine guns have not been misfired that the firepower of the entire defense line is still guaranteed to a certain extent.
If not, the defense would have collapsed by now.
However, Perbov knew that he could only achieve this far if he relied solely on his own command.
The fragile balance can only slow down the collapse of the defense line, but cannot return to the previous level of completely blocking all monsters from the range of firepower.
He raised his head bitterly and looked at a large, two small and three Storm Eagles in the fog, vaguely visible in the mid-air.
He knew that was the source.
But against these three guys in the sky...Pubov really has no choice.
He had ordered all the precision shooters in the company to shoot into the sky, but the effect was not great. He also took out his own gun and shot into the sky, but it was more like venting and of no use.
He had worked very hard, but what happened next seemed to symbolize that his efforts were about to be destroyed.
The current position can be stabilized because the mortar positions and machine gun fire points still exist. This factor can also be seen clearly by the Storm Apostles flying in the sky.
They didn't bother Walker V. Their storm magic didn't have the ability to penetrate the armor and injure the pilot inside.
And to harm the infantry fighting vehicle itself...
Forget it. In comparison, machine gunners and mortarmen are easier to deal with.
Wind bombs dropped from the sky.
A wind bomb as big as a wheel cut through the white fog from mid-air, fell straight down, landed on a machine gun position, and exploded with a bang.
It was like a cannonball, and the sudden explosion of wind pressure swept people up; the wind blades scattered under the high pressure were really like broken shrapnel, cutting the human body full of holes.
The machine gunner and the two soldiers next to him who were blown away by the wind bomb were already out of breath when they landed on the ground.
A machine gun fire point was removed, which had a considerable impact. In the area it originally covered, multiple zombie dogs immediately rushed in, followed by the abscess monsters behind them.
The pressure suddenly increased.
Seeing two more wind bombs falling from the sky, Purbov was already very anxious.
He subconsciously moved towards the impact point of the wind bullet, trying to block it with his body.
But at this moment, a rather familiar voice sounded in his mind: "Don't worry, lead your team with your heart."
"Lord Governor?!"
Perbeuf recognized the voice. He looked left and right, but saw nothing.
At this time, he realized belatedly that the voice sounded directly in his mind.
He suddenly understood and recalled the battle beside the river valley, those people who died in a very special way.
The Governor possesses some kind of magical power called psychic power, and he is not helpless.
If it is the Governor, there will definitely be no problem!
Purbeuf had such deep trust in the Governor.
Gu Hang did not disappoint him.
The two wind bombs that were about to hit the ground, which he wished he could use his body to block, suddenly dissipated in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the three flying storm eagles in the sky also disappeared.
Three figures fell downward from mid-air.
In an instant, the situation has changed drastically.
All of this was of course due to Gu Hang's actions.
At this moment, he had already got off the infantry fighting vehicle.
Through the Walker's armor, the spiritual energy is directly released to release spells, and there will be a certain attenuation. In order to ensure success, he left the infantry fighting vehicle and went outside.
‘Psychic Cut’ is really a useful spell.
Gu Hang did not use this spell directly on the three cultists. The soul strength of those three guys is quite high, and they can be seen clearly in his spiritual vision. Even if you go with all your strength, you may not be able to cut off their heads and kill their souls.
The target that Gu Hang chose to attack was the psychic connection through which they controlled the Storm Eagle.
It would be more convenient to destroy the magic of flying, let those three fall, and then annihilate them physically.
Beside him, 11 Marine Commando soldiers rushed out and found the three fallen people.
These commandos raised their guns and fired while running at high speed, but they were incredibly accurate. The metal spikes accurately found the target that was freely falling in mid-air.
This is far beyond the level of their colleagues.
The reason why these 11 special operations team members can perform at such a high level is because they have transcended the level of T4 level warriors and reached T3 level.
