In the past six days, Yarik's position on the south side of the college district has finally failed.
Greenskin still flooded the defenders there with absolute numbers. The remaining defenders finally retreated into the tower city under the support of Space Marines. There, the huge and sturdy towers provided great cover for the soldiers so that they did not have to worry about air threats.
When the Greenskin tried to attack the Governor's Tower, they suffered another failure. This iconic building also inspired the morale of the soldiers. Relying on the position, Hades' defenders repelled the enemy's attacks again and again.
The defenders established a shooting zone between the guardrail and the academy area, and after using explosives to destroy the adjacent bunker, Greenskin attacked each of them equals running on the plains.
Sidi, who was rescued, woke up the next day, but he could not recover.
"Sidi, Sidi?"
Sidi's comrades called his name, his eyes full of concern and concern.
"I'm fine."
He carefully sat up, and memories instantly poured into his mind, the explosion, endless darkness, Russell's twisted and broken body in the dust...
He shook his head to dispel the sadness in his heart.
"Hey, show me the re-logging gun."
Sidi tried to divert his attention, and the comrade immediately pulled down the re-logging gun that was placed on the bunker, pulled the bolt, and then pushed the bullet into the chamber. The crisp sound of the load made Sidi very happy.
“It’s still easy to use.”
The machine gunner shouted excitedly, because Sidi's credit for picking up the re-logging gun, he became the squad leader of a machine gun squad.
Although in this class, there are only this machine gunner and two ammunition players, one of whom is 14 years old and the other is 15 years old, and there is nothing to count on.
Looking at the machine gunner with excitement, Sidi could only barely squeeze out a smile.
"very good."
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded, and Sidi quickly stood up from the ground.
I saw an endless green tide surged from outside the guard wall that was already covered with corpses. This was the fifth time today.
"Quick! Get ready!"
The officers quickly arrived at their respective positions, and Yarik was no exception.
He appeared on the top of the city once again with one arm.
The more than 3,000 men and women under him were almost the only survivors of this tower city, and when the siege began a year and a half ago, there were still three million soldiers in the nest.
Even not long ago, he had five thousand men still fighting - this was the last counting of the results two days ago.
During these two days they kept retreating, leaving only the guardrail.
Most of them came from the Cundu Gang and Guards, and there were some soldiers from other units, including the Ministry of Justice, the State, and the Mechanical. They used to fight side by side with the Hades warriors in thousands of units, but now they are only a few people left.
In Arrick's vision, the college area position is very critical. The defenders can hide in ruins and wreckage, attack any enemy who dares to approach, and use less force to achieve the maximum effect.
And when the enemy attacks the protective wall from underground, they can attack inside and outside.
He expected the position to last for about two weeks, but in fact, Greenskin was smarter than he thought.
Greenskin had launched an underground offensive before. After not getting any effect, the opponent turned from underground to attack the defenders in the academy area.
This was unexpected by Arrek, and when he realized it, the college area had penetrated into a large amount of green skin.
After the cruel tug-of-war, Arik had to withdraw the rest of the people, and he had no more blood to consume.
After capturing the college area, the greens became more and more frenzied, and they came like a tide every day. After being unyieldingly resisted by the defenders, they retreated like a tide, repeating like a wave.
At first people were inspired by the victory, but over time, they were all deep fatigue and despair.
"Greet them hard with bullets!"
Siddy looked out through the gaps in the sandbags, and the violent greens rushed towards them along the wide streets, and this time he decided to shoot himself.
When the butt of the machine gun was pressed against his shoulder, he still couldn't help but tremble, and the wound was still aching last time.
But he did not hesitate and pulled the trigger, and the machine gun roared with trembling.
Ten, twenty, thirty, fifty, and one hundred, the fallen green-skinned corpses built a wall of corpses, but they still waved axes and sticks, meaninglessly shaking the human defense line.
Aiming, shooting, trembling, and then aiming again, Siddy endured the pain of the wound and fought back firmly.
Beside him, the soldiers stood firm at their posts, squatting behind the bunker, pouring the emperor's rage towards the enemies charging in the open area.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!
The greens continued to scream and charge, but the humans still had enough firepower to knock them to the ground like mowed grass.
Minute after minute, hour after hour, they kept coming, not caring about their own casualties, until Sidi's shoulder was almost overwhelmed and his fingers could hardly pull the trigger, and he couldn't help but pray that all this would end as soon as possible.
"Ceasefire!"
Yarik suddenly shouted:
"Everyone, cease fire!"
Sidi stopped shooting, and the other soldiers lowered their guns one by one.
Although they stopped shooting, the greens were still falling down, and Minka saw what Ras noticed - the enemy was being attacked from behind.
“Transfer the position.”
Bahram shot for a while, and now they were moving cautiously in the entrance hall of a building.
He saw a shadow swaying in a door, so he fired two shots at the shadow, and immediately screamed in pain, and then he threw a grenade into the room and continued to move forward.
This is the plan they jointly formulated with Arrek.
To blindly defend the city walls is to die, so they decided to implement an adventurous plan. Before Greenskin attack, the Space Marines team would enter the ambush area from the secret entrance. When Greenskin's offensive was at its most powerful force, they would attack Greenskin from the side and rear.
In this way, the green skin will fall into chaos and the offensive will stagnate.
Of course, the only downside to doing this is that the Space Marines going out can be very dangerous.
But Armin agreed to this plan. After all, this danger is not the most terrifying thing for the countless wars that Bahram and others will face in the future.
Suddenly, with a roar, a shadow pounced on Bahram.
“waaaagh!”
Bahram flexibly avoided the green skin that was rushing towards him and smashed the stock heavily into the attacker's face.
The enemy was knocked to the ground by the striking scheme. The Space Marine did not give the other party a chance to breathe, and slashed the shameful head.
Chapter completed!
