Chapter 1722 The bloody battle on Hacksaw Mountain (4)
"Contact General Guillermo and tell him we need to reorganize our firepower-"
Faced with an emergency, Creed immediately wanted to contact friendly forces, but what he said was a bit late. All Krieg officers are field promotion officers, and everything about leadership comes from their exposure to combat.
What was instilled in them when they were young, and what they learned through the blood and sweat shed on the battlefield, has become almost instinctive, so they don't need instructions from their superiors to respond immediately.
The firepower of mortars and heavy weapons platoons took the lead in covering the followers of Khorne, but the protection of power armor allowed the traitors to pass through the storm of fragments without hesitation, and hoarse howls billowed from the deformed maws and sounders.
Surges out and fills the surrounding air, and the huge and weird blood-colored walls approach at an eerie speed. They are all too fast, and the genetically modified bodies quickly shorten the distance between each other and enter the fatal range.
Then, a searing barrage of lasers erupted from the simple bunker, each shot cutting the air with a harsh "hissing" sound, but it was of no avail. Even if the hell gun, which can penetrate power armor, fired at maximum power,
Unable to effectively kill the Traitor Astartes' body.
The Cadians on the wall were also shooting.
Many of the charging Chaos Heretics simply shook their bodies, and then continued to charge forward, their ugly faces showing the fury filled with the desire to kill.
Although the heavy cannons on the wall began to turn around and fired fierce fire in an attempt to destroy the Khorne warriors that were approaching quickly, their shooting angles were too high and their speed was too slow to hit any target.
The low sound of the heavy bolter's mechanical ricochet filled Creed's hearing. Heavy weapons teams and special weapons crews from all over the bunker whipped the formation of Chaos Space Marines with longitudinal fire, and successfully knocked down some of them.
, but under the violent desire of the Blood God, most of the traitor Astartes were about to rush into the Krieg battle lines.
"Concentrate the fire, concentrate the fire!"
Just as Creed was trying to deal with those Chaos Space Marines, he suddenly heard an unusual cry.
He turned around and looked down, and saw that under the broken protective wall, hidden wells suddenly opened, and then a large number of mutants and traitors rushed out with weapons in hand, crashing directly into both sides of the Cadian battle line.
Creed's hands and feet suddenly went cold. He realized that he had underestimated these traitors. Even if they lost the protective wall, it did not mean that they would sit still and wait for death.
"Enemy! Quick! Change direction!"
Realizing that enemies appeared on the sides and behind them, the Cadians of the eighth regiment quickly adjusted their direction and used firepower to kill the cultists who tried to engage in melee combat, but the opponents were already too close.
Bayonets, machetes, maces and daggers clashed in the small space. The downed corpses soon filled the ground filled with the ashes of the dead. A large number of traitors were all stabbed down by the bayonets of the Qadian soldiers, but there were also many stuck
The Deans fell to the savage weapons of the heretics.
The two sides were fighting together, but the battlefield became more favorable to the Red Pirates.
While commanding the Eighth Regiment to fight back the enemies emerging from the ground, Creed sent an emergency request for help to the orbit. Every regiment-level officer would have such authority, but if the post-war evaluation and use situation did not meet the standards,
, then this permission will be revoked.
At this time, the traitor Astartes had already rushed to the temporary defensive position of the 861st Regiment of Krieg.
Under Creed's shocked eyes, Krieg's officers adjusted the power of their power swords to the maximum, and then jumped out of the abandoned trench. The grenadiers, combat engineers and assault troops followed behind them, with bayonets hanging on their flat ends.
The laser rifle, or the short sword and engineer shovel drawn from the waist, rushed straight towards the Chaos Space Marines.
"For His Majesty the God Emperor, I will do my duty to the death!"
This was the only slogan they shouted in the audience.
Creed then saw a shocking scene. A dozen Krieg soldiers lined up in a column and rushed directly towards the Chaos Space Marine, even as the bullets fired by the bolters caused a death in the Krieg array.
, and did not stop their pace at all.
The muffled sound of the Krieg soldiers falling echoed in the traitors' blasphemous roars of "Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God."
As his comrades in front continued to die, Creed could see clearly that the last engineers had powerful explosive bags tied to their bodies, and the fuses had been lit.
Creed's eyes twitched. This was the first time he had seen such a terrifying tactic, using the flesh and blood of more than a dozen soldiers as cover, just to allow the last man to carry out a suicidal close-range explosion.
Looking at the Krieg soldiers rushing up, the Chaos Space Marines became excited. The chain axes created horrific wounds on the bodies of the Krieg soldiers, tearing their corpses into pieces.
Lige's soldiers were almost all lost within seconds of the engagement.
But they had created enough distance for their comrades behind them, and with the deafening battle cry and explosion, dark gray and blood red collided together.
Those Chaos Space Marines never figured out what killed them until they died.
In an instant, the dazzling red color on the battlefield was reduced by half, leaving only a dozen.
And the cost, according to Creed's own visual inspection, was at least 500 Krieg soldiers...
"Sir! General Guillermo called. He said they will continue the attack!"
Accompanied by this telegram and a whistle, all the Krieg soldiers rushed out of the bunker and strode towards the Blood God believers side by side, like a giant gray living wave.
boom--
A loud noise came from above Creed's head. He turned his head and saw that part of the main fortress was collapsing, and at the same time a formation of three bombers quickly passed overhead.
Then there was a dull roar, and the Thunderhawk swooped down from the sky, passing over the heads of the Kriegs. The bullets it fired knocked down a Khorne warrior, and then hovered in mid-air.
A giant in golden and blue armor jumped down from the open hatch.
"We are the pride of the Emperor, listen to our roar!"
Aiken Dubaku, a sergeant of the Tianshi Chapter, brandished a chain sword and rushed past the Krieg queue, heading straight towards a heretic who was wildly waving a battle axe.
"Death to heretics!"
Hearing the roar, the heretic turned around, raised his battle ax and tried to block, but the heavy blows from the chain sword made him stagger, and then several laser beams shot at his face, briefly dazzling him.
Aiken Dubaku cut off the opponent's arm and head with a direct sword. At the same time, the other eleven Celestial Lion warriors also collided with the heretics of Khorne. With the help of the Krieg's offensive, they quickly killed the remaining traitors.
kill.
Creed, who was at a high place, finally breathed a sigh of relief, staggered back two steps and leaned against the broken bunker that still retained the scorching residual heat. Then he instinctively wiped his face and found that his hands were covered with a mixture of sweat and blood.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he felt a shaking under his feet. Creed quickly realized that the wall seemed to be collapsing.
