Due to the sudden incident, the local defenders could not do much. They could only destroy some unimportant buildings and use piles of rubble and large materials, mixed with quick-drying cement urgently provided and produced by the Mechanicus, to construct a three-meter-high structure.
, a small protective wall with a trapezoidal structure. There are roughly three such protective walls in the entire defense line. There are bunkers and five-meter-high machine gun towers inside, and all the automatic turrets they can find are installed. The widest point is about 17 kilometers. The position
The depth is more than 15 kilometers, and there are more than 600,000 militiamen and 150,000 auxiliary troops distributed within it. Although it is relatively crowded, but also considering that Tyron's combat method is mainly close combat, there are still 100,000 militiamen as reserves and auxiliary troops in the rear.
Support staff.
But is this enough?
"Company commander, look!"
Hearing the voice of the adjutant beside him, Texhar, who was not wearing a helmet, raised his binoculars.
On the already scorched earth, some vague silhouettes began to appear. At the same time, a sound suddenly came towards them from the sky. It was the clicking sound of alien wings, accompanied by a hissing roar.
The next moment, the originally peaceful land was instantly filled with countless ugly creatures, and an army of crazy gargoyles appeared in the sky like a flock of birds.
"Order the Basilisk anti-aircraft vehicle to suppress the enemy's air forces."
"yes!"
Just when the gargoyles lowered their altitude and prepared to use their hand weapons to shoot at the humans hiding in the fortifications and trenches on the ground, rockets were fired into the sky.
Along with the blooming death fireworks, countless broken burning bodies screamed and fell from the sky.
The militiamen were stunned by this scene, but soon the officers roared and kicked their butts one by one.
"Get ready to fight! Stay alert!"
In a distant place, a wave of knife bugs and gun bugs swept over like a tsunami, but when they stepped into the minefield, the sudden roar and explosion sent countless pieces of mud and carapace into the sky.
Mines are naturally an indispensable weapon against the Tyranids. In fact, due to the hasty construction of the defense line, they used almost all the mines in their inventory, including infantry mines, petal mines and anti-armor melta mines.
But Tyranids are the most fearless enemy of death. They waded through the minefields and marched towards the city full of flesh and blood.
Soon, the flames of heavy weapons emitted incandescent light among the hastily constructed fortifications. Laser cannons, grenade launchers and automatic cannons formed the first interception line, followed by mortars.
The small creatures perished like ice and snow under the intercepting firepower of humans, so they soon gave up their position to the living tanks in the insect swarm. The evil woman beast and a new type of war beast appeared at the front of the team.
These giant beasts, some of which had signs of damage from melta mines, moved forward under the fire of small arms, and then used their huge heads or forelimbs to push over the sharp stakes standing on the ground, crushing them into pieces.
"When a new Tyranid unit appears, release the detection robot immediately."
Realizing that there were unrecorded Tyranid units appearing, Texhar immediately issued instructions to the Adeptus Mechanicus support group at the rear. Soon, two modified Greedy Eagle fighter soldiers took off and began to approach and take pictures of this new type of large Tyranids.
Characteristics and behavioral patterns of units.
This behemoth is one size larger than the Evil Woman. It is covered in extremely thick chitin armor, with a towering chimney behind it. It is structurally supported by two strong hind legs and a pair of sharp forelimbs like the Evil Woman.
body, but it does not have a bloated reproductive sac. Instead, it has a huge biological cannon. This biological cannon, which is comparable to the main gun of a human heavy tank, is connected to the monster's body and is located on the right side of the head. It also has
Dense sting holes grow between thick chitin armor.
After determining the physical characteristics of the creature, the Adeptus Mechanicus quickly identified and classified it, named it Tyrannosaurus by the sage of xenobiology, and quickly uploaded it to all combat troops.
"The Greedy Eagle Anti-Armor Brigade gives priority to attacking large enemy units."
After receiving the order, a Greedy Eagle fighter jet took off into the sky. Each of these fighter jets was equipped with four large melta armor-piercing missiles.
After quickly entering the battlefield launch position at a height of fifty meters above the ground, the Tyranid Living Tank fired missiles one after another in the light of the Wicked Beasts and Violent Beasts. In a series of crimson explosions, the Tyranid Living Tank let out a deafening wail.
, at the same time, the hard back armor was also shattered by the bombardment of melta missiles, and the flesh and blood protected under it was evaporated in large quantities, and even the internal organs were exposed.
However, for a front that is more than ten kilometers long, a large group of fighter soldiers is obviously of limited effect. Just when the Greedy Eagle soldiers returned to replenish their ammunition, the Tyranid insect sea had already advanced several kilometers deep.
At this time, although the gargoyles in the sky were blown to bits by air blast rockets, their number was large enough and could not be completely eliminated. During the pauses of the air blast rockets, they swooped down and fired a burst of death blasts from the flesh-eating guns in their hands.
The rain of bullets is also mixed with more deadly sky monsters. They drop spore mine clusters from their abdomens. They will explode the moment they hit the ground, spraying out strong acid. As long as a militiaman without any protective gear gets a little bit of it, his coat will be burned through immediately.
And skin, deep into the bones, even the deafening screams emitted by the sky demon are enough to make their hearts burst with fear.
For a moment, ghosts and wolves howled on the battlefield. The auxiliary army had experience and knew how to deal with flesh-boring beetles, but the militiamen had never seen this thing. The morale of some troops collapsed almost instantly. Some soldiers jumped out of the trenches and fled backwards.
.
Texhar noticed this situation, frowned, and only said one sentence.
"Where's the war team?"
Soon, machine gunfire rang out, and the soldiers who had left the trenches and bunkers trembled and fell to the ground. At the same time, behind the defense line, the auxiliary army officers with golden bags wrapped around their arms and helmets picked up their loudspeakers and shouted:
"The commander has given the order. Anyone who retreats will die! Return to your positions immediately!"
In this case, the militiamen could only turn around and run back into the distance, accepting punches, kicks, and even executions from the angry officers. The scattered gunfire lasted for several minutes before stopping, and thousands of weapons were fired.
The corpse was hung directly above the position to scare others.
In fact, Tekshar also knew that these irregular troops were useless, but he really had no choice.
The only people he can really rely on are the Pashtiban and Vashti. These are real soldiers, elite troops that even other battle groups are extremely surprised. Texhar is very impressed that the commander of the army can create such a force.
Pride and pride.
But he only has 12 divisions of such troops.
"Let the Vashti hold the center. They will become a breakwater that weakens the power of the tide. There are not many Tyranids in the air. After the sky is cleared, Stormclaw Squadron and Thunderhawk will rain death from the sky on the swarm."
