The 33rd Ground Assault Division is part of the Onuru Sigma Corps IV Corps, an army known for its blitzes and unstoppable attacks.
Its predecessor was a ground assault detachment in the Sigma system. After a two-year tug-of-war with the Kemerian army, this assault detachment was continuously broken up, reorganized and expanded while retaining its designation.
It currently has five army brigades, two armored regiments and an engineering regiment.
The commander of this ground assault division is Arcturus Mengsk, the first heir of the Khamensk family. Ten years ago, the eldest son of the Mengsk family was still an unknown private soldier.
The troops originally commanded by Arcturus were named Imperial Squadron. Likewise, this tradition continues to this day. Another name for the 33rd Ground Assault Division is the "Imperial" Assault Division, and its emblem is the Sigma Giant on a red background.
Wolf.
The brigade station where Augustus is located is quite far away from the main base of Turasis, and it takes four hours to reach it by transport plane. In fact, Warfield does not need to come here personally, and he does not need to think about whose instructions it is.
Turasis II Northern Hemisphere Standard Time 14:45, Augustus and the second platoon recruits boarded an APOD four-engine close-ground heavy transport aircraft. This type of transport aircraft carried a platoon of soldiers who were not wearing power armor.
It was more than enough, but they still could only squeeze into two crew compartments, and the remaining space was filled with supply boxes and ammunition.
When the transport plane slowly took off, the bulkhead of the transport plane was fully enclosed and there were no portholes. All the recruits could only pass the time by relying on their personal terminals and chatting.
Harnack Hanke and Curt Josephine sat opposite Augustus dejectedly. In sharp contrast to them was the gloating expression on the faces of Reno and others.
Augustus could almost imagine the blank expressions on their faces when the two of them were dragged out of bed by Warfield's lieutenant. When Nephrite was in her arms or sleeping soundly, someone suddenly rushed in and told them about their vacation.
It has ended early.
That's not the worst part. Warfield, who was a decent man, looked very unhappy when he heard that they were entering and leaving such a place, and clearly told them not to think about such things again during their service.
But the good news is that because a new war is approaching, the entire boot camp holiday has been cancelled.
Fortunately, these two people were so indifferent to everything that they forgot about this matter within five minutes, and then began to rush over and brag to Augustus and others about their "last night".
"Heroic deeds". Then Renault also told the people in the second squad about his driving of the Vulture, which soon developed into the whole platoon listening to the bragging of the first squad.
During the flight, Augustus could only browse the pre-downloaded official website of the Federation Marine Corps, which contained battle reports of the battle between the Terran Federation Marines and the Orbital Fleet and the Kaimorian, ranging from scouts from both sides in the desert town on the edge of the world.
They have access to large cities and even battles for planets.
Considering that this is the official website for the public, all of which are reports on the federal army that caught Kaimorian people with farts.
Reprint the report locally.
In this case, "appropriate" embellishing is also allowed, even the UNN Global News Network, which is considered the most authoritative and credible, is no exception.
The Federation army was unstoppable and won a great victory. Kemerian abandoned his armor and retreated steadily. Most of the people of the Terran Federation believed that it was only a matter of time before the Federation army won this war. The only problem was that they all wanted this time.
Not too long, otherwise the increasingly heavy taxes will crush most hard-working people.
Augustus read some reports about Turasis II, and even by paying attention to the date and the number of troops apparently invested by both sides, he could find that the level of motivation for the war was gradually escalating.
The arrival of the 33rd Ground Assault Division and other planetary armies also proves that the balance of power between the Tyranid Federation and Kemorian in Turasis is about to be broken. At present, the Tyranid Federation is still sending large numbers of troops to this planet. It is foreseeable.
, the combat headquarters of the Federation Marine Corps is planning a decisive battle that can determine the ownership of the entire planet.
This is not what the officers in the boot camp will tell them. The non-commissioned officers will only say that although the Camorians are fierce and cunning, the Marines are enough to deal with them. The more you sweat during training, the less blood will be shed on the battlefield.
The future war on Turasis II will be both a danger and an opportunity for Augustus. Whether in the game or in the current StarCraft world, living marines are the least valuable. But if Augustus
Being able to get promoted and become a senior non-commissioned officer or commander will also be of great benefit to him in his future life.
Instead of praying like a coward all day long that cannonballs would not fall on him and leaving life and death to fate, Augustus preferred to accumulate reputation and military merit from scratch.
If he is lucky enough, Augustus may be able to get a few medals in battle and become a non-commissioned officer before the end of the war. If all goes well, Augustus will retire according to the demobilization process and return to Korhal to inherit the family business. He will
He persuaded his father to give up the idea of rebelling against the Terran Federation and become a noble in peace and contentment.
Augustus lacked the ambition and desire for control that seemed to be innate to the Mengsk family. After all, revolution and salvation had nothing to do with him. He had long passed the age of caring about the world and dreaming of becoming a savior.
At first, the transport plane flew quite smoothly, but in the second half of the flight, everyone felt strong air turbulence. Augustus had to put down his personal terminal and grasp the armrest. Then Warfield told them through the loudspeaker,
There are at least two formations of Kaimorian hellhounds chasing them, but please be patient.
"Kemorian's Hellfire fleet rarely dares to penetrate deep into our control area, but there are always exceptions." The lieutenant said.
Most of the new recruits were in a panic, because at this time the transport ship had begun to roll and spin, constantly turning to avoid the missile lock. All the new recruits could only pray that the Camorian hellhounds could not catch up with their prey.
Although they both knew it was only a matter of time.
For a while, the transport plane continued to perform various difficult and large-angle evasive maneuvers. Augustus felt like the world was spinning and his head and feet were spinning upside down. This was far more exciting than the suspended roller coaster at the Stillling Center Amusement Park.
"We are going to be finished..." Tom Omo held his face and said, "Mom, forgive me, mom..."
"Oh, this pilot's flying skills are really bad." Although Renault has never flown a spaceship, this does not prevent him from having a bad mouth.
At this time, Harnack was cheering and screaming, Josephine was screaming and cheering, Ward was expressionless, Zander's face was pale, and Benjamin kept praying... There was another more violent shaking,
Augustus's chair was shaking violently.
If they hadn't been tightly tied to the seats by seat belts, they would have been thrown against the cabin wall and smashed to pieces. The warning lights above their heads also changed from soft blue to flashing red.
"We've been hit." Lieutenant Warfield's voice was louder, but he remained calm.
The transport plane turned over, and all the recruits saw the rotating cabin roof. Augustus felt that he was falling.
