Chapter 655, it’s an alliance!
When Major Akanji saw another landing airship crashing into the defense zone, he was already a little desperate.
As a Sun Auxiliary, it is not appropriate to have such emotions.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that his mission will not be completed. He is afraid that the 'Long Qi Star' he is stationed on will be lost.
Akanji is not a senior officer. He was originally a member of the Sun Auxiliary Army, but now he has formed an expeditionary force with the Otaupis Chapter, and came to the Spider Web Domain to participate in the battle.
As of now, although he doesn't know much about the general trend, he can see some problems from the orders he recently received.
First, the big march was stopped.
Originally, the content of the discussion among the comrades was to compete with the Northern Front Army to see who could enter the enemy's base camp of Rheadoches earlier, but suddenly, the order became to station on the spot and clear out the local area with all their strength. pest infestation problem.
An infantry regiment he led had just taken down several digesters when they saw a swarm of insects!
The Sun Legion is considered the top among all the well-known Astra Militarum legions in the entire empire. Putting training aside, in terms of equipment level, as the direct line of the Astral Legion of Holy Terra, their level is quite high.
Although it is only an infantry regiment, there is definitely a lot of equipment from heavy artillery to heavy bolters. These can even be considered conventional weapons. In his regiment, in addition to the three ordinary combat battalions, there is also an elite combat battalion, all of which are equipped with exoskeletons!
In the regiment's artillery company, there are also two ferocious mobile artillery vehicles-the Basilisk Lizard Cannon!
These armed forces, coupled with elite training, allowed his troops to perform very bravely in combat.
Not only did they hold their position, they even gathered many troops that had dispersed from other directions. These troops recruited and armed from the locals cannot even reach the level of the Astra Militarum. They are just ordinary planetary defense forces and cannot demand too much.
Akanji only enforced military law on a small number of people who only wanted to flee, while the remaining troops were gathered up and deployed on various fronts to enrich their defense strength.
They held on until reinforcements arrived, including even the copper warriors of Otaupis!
Just when he was about to accept the order from his superiors and launch a major counterattack against those hateful insect swarms, a transfer order made him and his troops leave the position, leaving only some local defense forces to garrison.
He protested against this, believing that these defense forces could not reach the level of defense at all and would lead to the erosion of the situation.
But the superior shut him up with just one sentence.
"I know, but there is no way. We have more important tasks to complete."
What is the so-called more important task?
Stationed at the starport.
A fleet under the banner of the Iron Armor Chapter has entered the Long Gas Galaxy and is attacking the planet.
For the defense of the planet, the star port is the top priority. His mission is to enter the star port and garrison it.
He could not help much in the confrontation between the space fleet and the planet's orbital defense system. However, there are still living pods of insect swarms flying into the star port. The starport observatory where he was stationed had been hit again and again in the past half month.
What he has to face is not only the bugs running from the living landing cabin, but also the infected people who fight alongside the bugs.
These infected people are not the kind of garbage and waste encountered during the cleanup of the planet's surface.
All of them were wearing the standard equipment of the Astra Militarum. Under the various body fluids and proliferated flesh, it could still be vaguely seen from their gray-purple attire that they were the 'Emperor's Legion'.
At least it used to be.
When the expeditionary force first arrived in the Maigret Domain, he had a fight with the Queen's Legion. He must admit that this legion is a powerful opponent. Not only is its equipment level, but also quite good with the support of the so-called Alfonzo Mechanical Cult, its training level is also better than some unknown Astral Legions.
However, the 'Emperor Legion Infected' he was facing now was even more powerful than he had imagined. The difference is that these infected people have stronger physical fitness, they may not die even if they are shot, and they have strong vitality. Moreover, they are really not afraid of life and death, and there is no situation where their morale collapses or they are repulsed.
Of course, from another aspect, they may also have become weaker: the entire army's march and combat mode have undergone major changes, becoming more like a swarm of insects and less like a human army. This allows them to often adopt some particularly aggressive combat strategies, resulting in many undue casualties.
However, the quantity cannot be tolerated! And there are real bugs around!
The most dangerous battle was when three space warriors wearing black and gray armor suddenly appeared in front of them!
Those are the people from the Iron Armor Chapter!
The elite combat battalion that Akanji was proud of was tragically massacred.
Just when his defense line was about to be irreversibly broken through, an Otaupian warrior armed with a round shield, a spear, a red copper armor, a helmet and a horizontal crest, symbolizing his status as a champion, arrived. the battlefield.
He single-handedly killed the three armored Space Marines. The cost was only a few shots, but he didn't seem to be seriously injured.
After the battle, he had just gone up to thank him when he was given a new order: counterattack.
It turns out that an electrical facility stationed by a brother group next door has been breached, and they must take it back.
Although the troops had suffered heavy casualties, Akanji still gritted his teeth, squeezed out the mobile power he could use, and handed it over to the Otaupis warrior to take away.
Then nothing was heard from them again.
Then, before his troops could take a breath or even replenish their ammunition, they were attacked again and again.
Until now, he couldn't even contact the division headquarters.
He knew that the situation was getting worse.
And just how bad is it?
Coincidentally, the important place he was guarding was the observatory.
The technical specialist accompanying the army, at his request, operated the observation platform and took a look outside.
The iron-armored fleet is getting closer and closer. Every time they attack, some of Changqi Star's armed platforms will be damaged.
By now, their attacks are becoming more and more aggressive.
The planet's defense system was collapsing, and the observatory he was stationed at seemed unable to withstand the next impact.
The number of troops he had available did not even exceed two hundred. Guard companies, logistics battalions, artillery...anyone who can fight on the front line should do so.
Another powerful impact and this place will collapse.
However, it was on this last day that he saw the technical specialists accompanying the army rushing to find him, beaming with joy: "We have reinforcements!"
"That army?"
"It's an alliance!"
