For nearly a second, the soldiers of the Seagoron Legion who were turning their heads to look at Augustus were stunned. The other soldiers, more soldiers who were still shooting at the hangar, did not notice this.
There was no difference between the gunshots and gunshots. It wasn't until the gunshots rang out around them and their brothers started roaring that they looked behind them.
For a moment, the soldiers of the Hai Gelong Legion who were at a loss did not know where the enemy came from. It was late at night, the light and shadow were intertwined, and they were all marines in dark blue paint. It looked like someone had an affair among them.
Crazy, trying to kill everyone regardless of friend or foe.
They watched blankly as a soldier from the Seagoron Legion armed with a heavy machine gun shot at their brother's mask at close range until the other man's helmet was broken.
“What are you doing? Are you crazy?”
“They betrayed Hygoron!”
“Who should we shoot?”
The enemy was right beside them. The channels of the Hai Gelongs were in chaos. In just ten seconds, the bunker of the third line of defense was already covered with blood.
“There are no numbers on their shoulders.” It was only when more than twenty soldiers of the Seagoron Legion lay on the ground that someone discovered the difference between Augustus and others and their own side.
But it is not daytime now. If you want to confirm, you must use the searchlight on the Gauss rifle or other light sources. Often, they will be knocked down by grenades from behind before they have time to see clearly whether they are friends or foes.
The battle took place between lightning and flint. The first solution that the Hai Gelongs thought of was to launch illumination bombs instead of changing the identification mode of the power armor. This caused them to have too many brothers fall when the first illumination bomb was launched into the air.
Got off.
Amidst the chaos, the HUD display on Augustus's mask can clearly indicate friends and foes. The built-in computer inside his powered armor can send inquiry signals to other armors in the platoon through the communication system, and after receiving the response signal
In the future, the powered armor will be immediately recognized as friendly forces, and the Marines wearing these powered armors will be marked in red.
Augustus held the Gauss rifle in his hand and fired at a Hygoron legionnaire who was charging towards him, while Renault fought side by side with him back to back.
The soldier in front of him was tall, and his modified power armor was comparable to the even larger Firebat armor, but one of his hands had been blown off by an electromagnetic grenade, and the remaining hand only had an old-fashioned runner.
pistol.
In silence, Augustus aimed at the opponent's helmet and fired. The laser rangefinder on the electromagnetic rifle showed that the enemy was approaching him as quickly as a crazy bull.
Suddenly, a spike rebounded upward after hitting his breastplate, penetrated through the joint between his helmet and breastplate, and penetrated the soldier's head from bottom to top from his chin.
When Augustus turned to the other side, he saw Ward's missile hitting a Hygoron legionnaire, breaking the opponent into pieces.
At this time, Warfield's federal soldiers were belatedly arriving. The silver-gray-painted marines jumped down from the bunker next to Augustus. Due to lack of bullets, they got close to the soldiers of the Seagoron Legion.
Fighting, knocking opponents to the ground, using fists, gun butts and whatever weapons they can find to break their enemy's helmets.
Because they also changed the recognition mode, they did not accidentally attack friendly forces.
“Augustus, I really didn’t expect you to be the first one to come.” Warfield jumped down from an armored vehicle.
“We came as soon as we received the news, Captain.” Augustus threw a loaded rifle magazine to Warfield.
“I heard you brought a battalion, boy, where are they now?” Warfield neatly changed the magazine, and with a crisp click, he asked Augustus.
“Each one of these bad guys I have brought is worth ten,” said Augustus.
“I didn’t have much hope.” Warfield shouted and ran to the other side, with four or five Marines following him closely.
“Thank God, we are saved.” At this time, another marine jumped down and walked to Augustus.
Augustus remembered this voice, it was Acting Lieutenant Colonel Vanderspu he saw in the command center.
Vanderspup's power armor was brand new and shiny. It was obviously well maintained. It was maintained, oiled and polished by dedicated personnel every day. Augustus even suspected that if Vanderspup was not participating in a real battle, he would
If he is going to attend a military parade, he will definitely hang his mighty and shining armor with medals and flowers.
“Lieutenant Colonel, the battle is not over yet. The armory, engineering station, command center...we still have many places to recapture.” Augustus reminded him.
"Now we have one battalion, and there will be more soon." Vanderspup looked at Augustus dissatisfied. Because the lieutenant colonel did not take this sergeant who only said two sentences to heart, he also
It was impossible to recognize Augustus just by his voice.
“The battle is over.”
“Those damn Seagorons will definitely pay the price with their blood!” Vanderspup said sonorously. His hatred for the Seagorons was not concealed in his words.
"..." Augustus said while changing the magazine: "I think I need to remind you that that battalion is still on the way."
If Augustus said he had brought a platoon, Warfield would simply tell him to get out immediately.
If he had brought a battalion of reinforcements, the result would have been completely different. The remaining federal soldiers would definitely hold on to their position for the coming dawn, and Augustus' troops would not have rushed into an already lost territory.
The position was in danger.
"How far do they have to go before they arrive?" The expression full of anger and hatred under Vanderspu's mask suddenly leaked. He looked in the direction he came from, as if he wanted to go back to the hangar.
"any time."
Augustus turned and left after speaking. He wanted to return to his troops immediately and had no time to mess around with Vanderspu.
At four o'clock in the morning, Augustus and Warfield's troops together destroyed a Haigron Legion assault detachment and recaptured the parking platform, but compared to the entire Hawei Fortress, this was really a drop in the bucket.
At 4:40 in the morning, the good news finally came.
The Alpha Squadron, which was stationed in the synchronous orbit of Turasis, dispatched several assault ships, and the transport ship that landed on the landing platform brought two companies of airborne troops.
Alpha Squadron is a force clad in white power armor. They are called the Blood Eagles by the Kaimorians and their Tyranid compatriots. Throughout the Federation military system, Alpha Squadron is known for their savage charges and cold cruelty.
famous.
Leading this force was Captain Edmund Duke of Alpha Squadron, whom Augustus and Warfield met on the parking platform.
