Chapter 1909 The Second Naval Battle of Angstrom (5)
Just when the destroyer's targeting system was seriously disturbed, a huge demon circled around and appeared in front of the ship. Perhaps out of the hunter's arrogance, or perhaps because it wanted to launch a massacre in a more courageous way, the demon rushed straight towards the ship.
Bridge, burning eyes gleaming, battle ax blazing in hand.
Balladur's face was tense. If conventional methods could not hurt his opponent, then he had another option.
Overload the subspace engine and send the opponent back to that damn hell.
At this moment, huge energy impacted the demon from behind, causing the bloodthirsty demon to scream with hatred, and one of its wings was shattered.
The black mist suddenly parted, and a gray war eagle flew through it.
After receiving the warning that the Red Pirates were using asteroid fragments to release the power of subspace, Soshyan immediately put the Silent Goshawk Wing from Reza into battle and sent the battleship Alloy Truth from the Angstrom fleet.
Go to support.
"Fire!"
Seeing that the demon was injured, Balladur made a quick decision and shot two beams of light from the front of the destroyer, hitting the bloodthirsty demon who was unable to dodge.
Watching the demon's howling face gradually disappear, the old captain grinned. This was the most valuable gain in his life. Even if he was to retire soon, he would have enough to talk about these experiences with his descendants.
The Silent Goshawks continued to fly through the black fog at high speed, and the demons dispersed wherever they went. Then anti-psychic missiles were fired at the rock fragments engraved with huge warp symbols.
Although it temporarily suppressed the Red Pirates' attempt to release the power of subspace in the naval battle, it also diluted Soshyan's meager military strength. Amidst the violent shooting, the Red Pirates' assault fleet still rushed forward.
After coming out, the artillery formation led by Huron in the distance was also intercepting the fleet of the Mechanicus, and also allocated its strength to attack Soshyan from a distance.
The battlefield became very chaotic, the firepower of light spears and macro cannons filled the void, and fighter planes surrounded the Red Corsair fleet like swarms, using their tiny bodies to block them from launching torpedoes and landing craft carrying deadly cargo.
The Red Pirates endured huge casualties, and after sacrificing a large number of small ships, the battleships and cruisers got as close as they thought was a sufficient distance, and then a round of torpedoes headed straight for the Blessing Barrier.
But as a star fort, the Blessing Barrier is not a simple airport. It also has considerable combat effectiveness. Huge amounts of beams and artillery shells are fired from its densely packed turrets to attack the Red Pirates' assault fleet, instantly destroying them.
Destroyed 1 light cruiser and damaged several others.
But the Red Pirates became extremely determined at this time. They wanted to attack the Star Castle, pouring all their firepower into it, including the powerful but very precious whirlpool torpedoes.
All this firepower was absorbed by the star fort's void shield, but when the vortex torpedo was detonated, the torn subspace vortex also completely broke through the star fort's already crumbling void shield. When the huge crack appeared, countless torpedoes and landing craft jumped to the rescue.
, even the teleportation beam is aimed at the blessing barrier.
Even Zhufu, who presided over the assault, made a very crazy decision. He sent his mortal followers of Khorne to control more than a dozen pirate plunder ships, killed the pirate captains, and then let those ships launch a suicide attack.
Crash into the Imperial warships protecting the Star Fortress, forcing them to redirect their firepower to the approaching threat.
With the overwhelming momentum of nearly dying together, the Red Pirates' best gang-hopping combat finally began to play its role for the first time. At this time, inside the Blessing Barrier, waiting for the Red Pirates' gang-hopping troops was the prepared skitarii.
and over eight hundred Imperial Space Marines.
Listening to the subtle roar coming from the thick wall, Bahram tightened his grip on the plasma gun. In ordinary battle groups, such weapons often require meritorious service before they can be obtained from the armory, but in the Astral Knights, the armory
It is basically semi-open. As long as it is not a particularly expensive weapon, the technical sergeants can generally allow the soldiers to choose the equipment they want.
Considering that he was facing a large number of Chaos Space Marines this time, Bahram not only took out his own plasma pistol, but also took an extra melta pistol from the armory, which was pinned to his thigh, and he
The power sword is in your hand.
Due to the shortage of manpower, Space Marines were assigned to key positions. Most of the defense of the Star Fortress was taken care of by the Skitarii and combat droids, who used the defense facilities inside the Star Fortress to fight against heretics who jumped into gangs.
The 10th Company is assigned to Area C, which is a vast area that includes two flight runways, a rail transit hub and three ammunition storage facilities, nine living areas, and 14 weapons command stations, in order to maximize the defense of the area.
, Armin divided the ten companies into three parts, and he led 32 people to defend the flight deck numbered 11, Bahram led 30 people to defend the flight deck numbered 12, and Jacob led the remaining 35 people to defend the rail transit hub.
, and be ready for support or to cope with emergencies at any time. Simply put, it is a reserve team.
There is no doubt that in order to reduce the frequency of air raids by Imperial fighter planes and obtain a stable retreat/support channel, the Red Pirates' jump gang will give priority to attacking transportation facilities such as flight decks or transmission platforms. Therefore, the defenses of these two places
It is also the top priority.
Bahram not only commands more than thirty Space Marine recruits, but also commands more than 30,000 skitarii and armed servitors, as well as 500 combat droids of various types.
This is the first time that he has independently commanded so many armed forces. Bahram knows that he still lacks experience, so he mainly "cooperates" with the ruling sages and the military priests. The two parties form a joint command mechanism, only in the most important situations.
The decision is made by him alone.
Soon, the roar outside began to be mixed with a special scream. Bahram knew very well that it was the sound of the retrorocket of the landing craft.
The enemy has arrived.
At this time, the flight deck was still in operation, throwing the reloaded Starhawk bombers into the void. Bahram believed that the enemy would definitely land through the flight entrance, because the airlock door was relatively weak on the one hand, and could immediately paralyze the entire flight.
deck.
However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the flight deck is unobstructed, and intruders will be directly exposed to firepower.
The Red Pirates were eager to break through and would do whatever it took. Therefore, Bahram concentrated most of his troops behind the second blocking gate.
Sure enough, an explosion soon came from the end of the flight deck, and then a knocking sound began to come from the concave blocking gate.
But Bahram felt that the opponent would not be so stupid. After breaking through the airlock door, he would go straight to the blocking gate. There was a high probability that he would enter through the maintenance channels and transportation channels on the left and right of the blocking gate. After all, space warriors can use magnetic locks to walk in the void, but mortals can
Failing that, the Red Corsairs will not just use Chaos Space Marines to join the gang, they will definitely bring a large number of cultists and slaves to attract firepower for them.
