After retching and spitting cleanly, the Armageddon officer turned around, frowned, pointed at the map and said:
"It should be accurate, maybe two hundred meters further back."
As he spoke, he paused, as if recalling something terrible, and his face turned pale.
"These bastards are very accurate with their marksmanship and can pretend to be dead. Many of our good soldiers have been killed by their traps. You must pay attention."
"I will."
Arni answered the other party in a relaxed tone, then turned around and looked at one of his military advisers.
"how?"
The one-eyed military adviser stared at the map for a moment, then drew a line.
"The enemy's fortifications are a typical cross-fire deployment. In conjunction with the arc-shaped defense line, if you rush into a large force, you will be attacked by enemy fire from three directions. Therefore, I suggest launching an attack from both ends. Send two battalions first and let them cover each other alternately.
, thoroughly understand the enemy's firepower distribution, and then organize a commando team to use artillery cover to prioritize destroying the enemy's heavy firepower fortifications."
Although the Abu Bakari 310th Infantry Regiment is a cannon fodder regiment, it has a large number of people. The entire regiment has 6 infantry battalions, each with 500 people. Including other battalions, the total number is close to 6,000 people.
The military adviser's statement was very euphemistic, but Arni could generally tell that he was probably using one battalion to conduct a probing attack and then make plans.
It's a very safe plan, although it doesn't quite suit Arni's taste. After all, what he wants to hear is tunnel excavation, disguised infiltration and other "magic tricks" that can instantly eliminate the enemy. But considering that this is his first battle, then
It seems that it would be okay to be more prudent.
"Okay, let's do it this way and let the Second and Third Battalions go."
boom--
The artillery fire continued to hammer the ground, but Hayes began to get used to this huge roar. He raised his head slightly and looked at the dust fountain tens of meters high that was lifted up by the explosion, and murmured to himself:
"No one could survive this situation."
"some."
Hachet on the side said lazily:
"Because those heretics are not human at all."
"Then what are they?"
"It's a monster, it's a demon, it's garbage that makes you sick to your stomach just by looking at it, but its vitality is very tenacious."
"Assemble!"
At this moment, their company commander roared. It was only now that Hayes saw a real commander for the first time. This veteran was also recruited by the Morales family. He just had two marks on his face.
The staggered scars are very intimidating, not to mention his strong and beast-like physique, combined with the murderous intent visible to the naked eye, which made the entire company obey him in just a few hours.
"Ready to go in five minutes!"
At this time, they were already covered by the steel dome of the hive, but this dome had been riddled with holes by cannon fodder. The huge cracks caused by the orbital bombardment allowed some dim sunlight to fall on the area close to the bottom hive.
Hayes followed the team cautiously. They needed to pass through a defensive area first. Under the fire, there was basically nothing left except ruins and rubble. The troops stationed here dug a large number of trenches and fortifications. They watched as they walked forward.
The 310th Infantry Regiment of Abubakari whistled one after another, with some mocking laughter.
"How come these Armageddon bastards didn't eat their mother?"
Hayes heard Hashet curse in a low voice.
After walking for more than half an hour, the presence of friendly forces gradually disappeared, and they entered an even more chaotic area.
The rubble is piled up like a hill, probably formed by the collapse of some huge buildings. Large craters with a diameter of six to seven meters can be seen everywhere on the ground, and there is even steam. The shelling has turned a large area into a scorched and explosive landscape. Occasionally, it can
Bodies and body fragments were seen scattered among the ruins. Many places were still burning. Noxious yellow mist and thick black smoke enveloped the cursed ground.
Then, Hayes seemed to see their target, which was a dark outline with many jagged protrusions, extending toward the steel dome of the hive like teeth.
Water Supply Station No. 9 is a solid building. Although its main body has been razed by cannon fodder, the lower part is still standing because it is made entirely of steel. There are a large number of water supply pipes distributed around it. There are at least two water supply pipes in it.
The height allows enemy troops to maneuver quickly through the pipe, so this area has always been the focus of the attack.
Of course, the enemy knew this very well, so he built strong fortifications and deployed a considerable number of troops here.
All the buildings around the water supply station have collapsed, forming a terrain similar to high ground. The 3rd Battalion first stopped briefly behind the original fortifications left by the Armageddonians. After allocating the troops, the recruits were divided into groups under the leadership of veteran officers.
Two groups surrounded the water supply station from the left and right directions.
Hayes's company belongs to the right attack group. He is bent over, wearing a gas mask, and holding a laser rifle. He carefully follows behind his teammates and looks around warily from time to time. Fish-headed brother Fitz is walking on his left hand.
On the other side, in almost the same movement, the big man Capri walked behind the two of them, carrying a heavy logging gun on his shoulder, and beside him was the loader "Bean" Scheffen, who was only two years older than Hayes.
The short boy, this is the only heavy firepower in their company.
For some reason, after the shelling stopped, the entire battlefield became unusually quiet.
This kind of silence is like death itself, and it also means that the breath of death is everywhere.
Hayes' heart was beating even harder. He kept panting and sweating, making the gas mask sticky and uncomfortable. But he didn't dare to take it off because the monitor, Hashet, said that if he took it off, he would die.
, told him not to take off his mask randomly.
Because there is no terrain here that can be called a "road", everyone can only trek among the ruins. Occasionally, someone falls down because of missing the ground, and they dare not make any sound. Although there is no order, silence has become everyone's wish.
With consensus, everyone traversed this rugged journey in silence.
Suddenly, someone let out a muffled scream. Hayes stopped and tried to raise his gun, and then he screamed too.
In the ruins ahead, many corpses were lying twisted on the icy ground, or strung on rough metal rings, with brown blood stains around them. Leftover weapons were sandwiched between rocks or half-buried.
Among the loose gravel, a battle flag belonging to an unknown regiment still stood. The broken flag fluttered in the wind, but the eagle emblem on it had been replaced by a roughly painted eight-pointed star, and scrawls were scrawled on the surrounding rocks.
Written obscene insults.
Many corpses had their armor, boots and even clothes stripped off, some were headless, and some were brutally chopped into pieces, with limbs lying like discarded toys in the slaughterhouse. The rotting corpses turned the scene into a
