At 17:00, the leading troops of the Alpha Squadron on the pursuit mission exchanged fire with the Hanak Division and the Tykes Division of the Revolutionary Army at the bottleneck of the desolate canyon. Compared with the wide terrain in the front of the canyon, the bottleneck is like the thinness of a bottle.
Neck, the distance between the rock walls on both sides shrinks and narrows rapidly, and the narrowest point is less than a hundred feet.
It was like a suddenly tightening pocket, and Harnak Hunk and Tychus Finley's troops were like the rope tightening the pocket.
The revolutionary army's position is located in the last two-thirds of the bottleneck section of the canyon, less than twenty miles from the exit of the canyon, and beyond that is the command center of Fort Martin where Augustus is located. In other words, if Harnak
If the troops of Tychus and Tychus cannot hold here, then Augustus will face the front of Alpha Squadron.
The position was constructed by excavators and construction vehicles using steel fenders, concrete and battlecruiser armor plating, with the flagship separated by bunkers and two command centers that served as fortresses.
"Mengsk is really good at calling people to do hard work for him. We are suffering here, but he is sitting in the command center at the back, holding the female agent and female nurse and having fun." In a bunker surrounded by protective steel plates, Tai
Case was sitting on a stool, lighting a cigar, next to a Whisperer heavy machine gun.
"One with red hair and one with blond hair."
This bunker is so small that it can only accommodate the burly Tychus and Harnak in Firebat armor. Even standing in power armor will not be too tiring when passing by.
, Tychus still moved the stool and sat down with his legs crossed, which made the already small space even more difficult to accommodate a few people.
Although the two of them are the highest-ranking commanders here, their officers would never have imagined that Tychus and Harnak had just fought over this stool, and it was already obvious who was the winner.
Already.
These two villains always see eye to eye when they are doing bad things, but they will immediately turn against each other when distributing benefits.
"Do you think the boss knows about women's butts and thighs just like you?" Hanak was still angry about what happened just now: "Sooner or later you will pay the price for this kind of thing. Then don't expect the boss to be like before.
Then bring someone to rescue you!"
"He just wants me to owe him a favor, do you understand?" Tychus pointed at his head: "Nobles like them only think about exchange of interests, everything is a transaction, there is no friendship.
"
"You don't think there are real brothers in this world who share life and death, do you? When I'm caught by the Federation or something else, will he really fish me out at all costs?" In any case, Tychus never
Believe no one, don't believe love is stronger than gold.
"Ah? Little brat."
"If it's the leader, if that person is named Augustus Mengsk, then he will definitely do this." Harnak said: "You piece of shit, if you dare to betray us, I will burn you."
Turned into ashes.”
"Haha——" Tychus stood up grumblingly: "I only work hard for money——"
"Shut up, I've heard this at least seven or eight times." Hanak cursed a few times and then pointed to the observation port in front of the bunker and said, "They're coming."
In the dark night, flash bombs illuminated the night sky. Heavily armed soldiers of the Alpha Squadron in white power armor rushed towards the revolutionary army's position on the sandy red soil.
The Alpha Squadron in white powered armor and the Revolutionary Army soldiers in crimson powered armor shot at each other. Nail projectiles with several times the speed of sound, copper-plated steel blunt-tipped bullets and sharp-tipped depleted uranium bullets formed a barrage as dense as a rain curtain.
There were more than 20,000 soldiers in this narrow area, and thousands of them opened fire at the same time in the unfolded front. About two battalions of the Revolutionary Army were Harnak's Fire Bat troops, illuminated by a wall of plasma flames.
Half of the rock wall.
These Firebat power armors were designed jointly by chief engineer Rory Swann and the Heavenly Demon armor technician. After all, the latter participated in the design and development of the Firebat power armor by Hiram Fike.
The Firebat powered armor of the Revolutionary Army is different from that of the Federation. They use an improved C-250. The visor and breastplate of the powered armor are thickened and coated with heat-resistant plating to consider the comfort of the wearer.
, the plasma fuel tank behind the power armor also has a thermal barrier added.
It is reported that this armor technician is also participating in the "Reaper" power armor and twin-turbo jump backpack scientific research projects planned by Augustus himself. It is envisaged that soldiers wearing this power armor will be able to climb hundreds of feet like Superman
High cliff, flying in the air.
Based on his experience in using Firebat armor, Colonel Harnak Hanke suggested adding dual fuel tanks to these to enhance endurance and avoid the embarrassing situation of being half burned and unable to get out of the fire.
In addition, Swann also added granular scorching agent filaments to the plasma fuel tanks of the Revolutionary Firebats and other flamethrowers, allowing the flamethrowers to emit more powerful blue plasma flames.
In Swan's words: "It's blue and sparkling."
This resulted in the flames ejected by the Revolutionary Army's Pyrotroopers being all blue. Their commander Harnak was obsessed with creating an epic fire and was committed to making the armored Pyrotroopers the most powerful.
The notorious pyromaniac.
In several of Harnack's battalions, the only requirement for recruiting soldiers was whether they would fill in the armor questionnaire on whether they had played with fire as children.
Therefore, when several skirmisher lines of Alpha Squadron rushed to the Revolutionary Army's position under the cover of arc light tanks and Goliath armed robots, they were immediately covered in blue plasma by the Revolutionary Army's Spitfire troops.
When Alpha Squadron's self-propelled artillery and electromagnetic guns opened fire, the rumble of artillery resounded throughout the canyon, like the roar of a thunder god. The electromagnetically accelerated kinetic energy artillery shells fell on the revolutionary army's position, setting off a stream of hundreds of feet high, made of sand and soil.
The spring pillars formed.
The first round of shelling caused heavy casualties to the revolutionary troops on the position, and accidentally injured a considerable number of resocialized soldiers who had rushed to the position. Of course, the artillery commander of Alpha Squadron just pretended that nothing happened.
At the same time, hundreds of Wraith fighters and heavy bombers converted from Apod-33 transport aircraft immediately arrived from a military airport built by Augustus near the desolate canyon in advance.
In the sight of soldiers on both sides, these fighter planes were like firebirds riding orange-red flames. They carried the anti-aircraft missiles of Alpha Squadron's Goliath armed robots and bombarded the federal army's artillery positions indiscriminately. The rumbling sound of artillery immediately
It just misfired.
It was 2 hours later that Alpha Squadron's offensive troops began to retreat, leaving behind hundreds of corpses wearing power armor. The Revolutionary Army was not much better off than them. Due to the lack of enough power armor and heavy weapons, even the most elite
The revolutionary army also needed to pay more heavy casualties to repel Alpha Squadron's resocialized attack.
After the first round of attack, Alpha Squadron only rested for ten minutes before launching another fierce attack.
This time, Colonel Edmund Duke personally led the charge. He was completely unaware that a large rebel army had blocked the entrance to the canyon and was advancing at full speed towards his back.
