Just when the soldiers became more uneasy because of the shaking of the landing craft when entering the atmosphere, a loud noise suddenly exploded above everyone's heads. Many people were startled and screamed, but Hayes looked a little ugly. He remembered
This kind of sound.
That was the sound of metal being torn apart, which meant that the landing craft they were riding in was probably shot.
"Get ready to land!"
Suddenly, mechanical instructions came from the loudspeaker.
At the same time, the lights in the cabin changed from light green to a more nervous blood red, various warning devices made high-pitched sounds, and the landing craft shook more and more violently.
Finally, it plunged down suddenly, as if it was about to fall, and Hayes subconsciously screamed with the others, but fortunately, with the violent vibration, the shaking stopped, and then the restraints on their bodies were released at the same time.
"Let's go! Go! If you don't want to die, get out quickly!!!!"
Smoke began to fill the cabin, and the soldiers hurriedly put on breathing masks and rushed toward the open door, carrying weapons.
Hayes also followed the company closely, and soon the dim sunlight shone on his face. On the distant horizon, one could still see beams of light falling from the sky, creating strong flashes of light and giant stars at the end of the earth.
The landing site has been crowded by various troops. This is a flat area between the mountains and the ocean. The huge landing craft is like a giant dead fish washed up on the shore by the waves. Chimera armored vehicles, Bull armored vehicles
, the Centaur transport vehicle made a harsh whistle while pulling various heavy weapons to open up passages among the crowd. There were also a large number of metal debris and fragments of human tissue scattered on the ground.
Hayes turned around and saw that the double-decker landing craft they were riding on had a crack in the upper layer. It was five or six meters long and two or three meters wide. There were traces of ablation around the crack. The body of a soldier was still hanging.
Outside the crack, only the upper body was left tied tightly with a belt, and the intestines hung like tentacles on the bloody waist.
"Help--"
Amid the faint screams, Hayes saw a soldier crawling out of the crack. His body was covered with burn marks and scratches. He was holding his stomach and trying to push back the spilled intestines.
"careful!"
As soon as Hayes spoke, the man stepped on the air and fell from a height of nearly ten meters. His whole body was like a pile of smashed fruit, creating a large pool of scarlet stains on the ground.
Not only Abu Bakari's 310th Infantry Regiment, but also a dozen troops with different numbers also landed on this landing site at the same time. According to the plan, they were to immediately occupy the high ground in the nearby mountains and resist the invading enemy forces. The second batch
It would take ten hours for the landing force to arrive.
Since the enemy can intercept their landing craft with firepower, they naturally know where they will land, and both sides are fighting for time.
Abu Bakari's 310th Infantry Regiment quickly received the mission to occupy three highlands code-named 319, 411, and 378, 120 kilometers away, and hold the area until replacement troops arrived. These three heights are horns of each other, which can be regarded as a comparison.
A defensive position.
The soldiers were very fast. After landing, the shocked soldiers immediately began to run towards the target. Fortunately, their regiment had a lot of armored vehicles and transport vehicles, and they quickly arrived at the target.
There are not many areas where a planet can land on a large scale. The red pirate garrison commander of Lamptan 4 has already made corresponding preparations. The area where Abu Bakari's 310th Infantry Regiment went to happened to have a small group of heretical infantry.
The Corps is on the defensive.
But the good news is that they did not expect the imperial army to come so quickly. At the same time, Abu Bakari's 310th Infantry Regiment still had a certain number of heavy artillery.
In line with the principle of surprise, Arni did not make many arrangements and directly ordered the artillery to start shelling. At the same time, the armor began to cover the infantry and immediately launched an attack.
The first round of shelling stunned the defenders. They were even strengthening their fortifications to cope with the attack a few hours later, but they were immediately knocked upside down by the bombing.
"Fire the bayonet!"
After a twenty-minute bombardment, Arni appeared in the front row of soldiers and began to issue orders.
"Military musicians, give us a song! Make it lively so that we can be less bored while killing the enemy."
In response to the regimental commander's order, the regiment's military band played military songs, and more than 6,000 soldiers of Abubakari's 310th Infantry Regiment began to climb the high ground along a three-kilometer front, kicking up large amounts of dust along the way.
"For the Emperor!"
In the noise, Hayes could hardly hear any more sounds. He could only blindly follow the team forward with his gun in hand. Then he felt hands on his shoulders and turned to look at Hachet.
"Follow closely, don't get separated."
Soon, bullets began to streak over Hayes' head, and the defenders began to try to fight back.
"Charge! Charge up!"
Some people were knocked down by machine guns, but the smoke further disturbed the defenders' sight, and the lasers fired by the attackers were also burning away the fortifications they deployed.
Brisk walking becomes running, and running accelerates into sprinting.
Abubakari's 310th Infantry Regiment was divided into three parts and swept towards the three highlands like a furious wave. The two sides immediately entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat. The heretical soldier who was operating the machine gun was just about to ask the assistant on the side to change the bullet. An imperial soldier
He rushed out of the smoke and pierced his neck with a bayonet.
But another heretic soldier immediately opened fire, knocking the man down, and he himself was immediately hit on the head by a rifle butt.
Along the entire defense line, the same plot repeated itself.
The soldiers thrust their weapons at each other, but the defenders, with only a few hundred men, were unable to fight back and were overwhelmed in a few minutes. A few abandoned their positions and began to flee.
This was a cruel and bloody job, but Hayes did not flinch. He followed the actions of his comrades around him, shooting in the back of the fleeing enemies, making mechanical monotonous movements, and attacking any targets that appeared.
After a few more minutes, he felt so hot that he couldn't breathe, he was sweating profusely, and his muscles were sore from excessive exercise.
He could still vaguely hear music. The military band continued to cheer their comrades with their lively flutes and drums. The noise of other battles was even louder. He heard excited roars, screams of pain, and the cries of dying men.
Crying, I could hear the clanging of steel, the crunching of muscles and bones, and the tearing of the blade piercing flesh.
But it all ended soon. After Highland 411 fell first, the defenders of the other two highlands collapsed without support for long. Most of them were killed, and a very few lucky ones were able to escape.
"Let the wounded go back to the rear to see a doctor, and the rest of the people, build defenses immediately!"
The irony of the matter is that the fortifications they had just destroyed immediately had to be repaired.
Before he could take a breath, Hayes immediately had to start filling sandbags and carrying stones with his comrades, while more people started digging trenches and carrying corpses.
