Chapter 164, The moment of death has arrived!
Gurney Crazy Fang already felt that he was not far from success. Now he could even smell the smell coming from the core engine power compartment of the shrimp ship.
Destroy it and victory will fall into his hands.
But soon, a new group of soldiers appeared in front of them, blocking their progress.
Kuangya was a little confused.
The clothes of these new soldiers were different from those of the shrimps they had met before. They were not as powerful as the shrimps in the Marine Corps who held laser guns and electromagnetic rifles, but they were not as powerful as the armed sailors either.
But soon Kuangya no longer cared.
They are just shrimps anyway, just kill them.
The hundred or so people had set up bombs on the road, but it was meaningless. The psychic boy and the craftsman boy who followed him in the assault had ways to discover these ambushed bombs in advance and then detonate them in advance.
Occasionally there are misses, but it's not a big problem. If you bomb ordinary green-skinned guys from a little distance, you may not be able to kill them, let alone armored units.
After the bombs failed to work, the remaining battle was a bloody confrontation - or a one-sided massacre.
The strongest firepower of this company was nothing more than some bombs and a small number of rocket launchers. The configuration of the mecha soldiers and armored vehicles in front was swept away like cutting melons and vegetables, not to mention them.
In just three to five minutes, almost the entire company was killed.
They fought to the death and suffered such heavy losses, not because they were unwilling to retreat, but because they had no time to run, or could not escape even if they ran, and were shot more quickly with their backs to the enemy.
However, the lives they sacrificed were not in vain.
At least it slowed down the orc commandos for a few minutes.
It was during these few minutes that Gu Hang and the elite team he led completed the defense layout outside the core engine power compartment.
In fact, there is nothing to arrange. Even if you want to build some firepower points and some shelters, it is difficult. On a starship, it is not on the surface of a planet. You can dig foxholes in the wild, and you can use various waste materials and building materials to build shelters in the ruins of the city. On a starship, there are either various rooms or various wide or narrow passages. Unless the internal structure has a place to hide from bullets, you have to shoot at each other with your flesh and blood, or simply meet love at the corner and directly enter a bloody confrontation.
In such an environment, the Greenskin Orcs were obviously in big trouble. Humans did have bulletproof armor plates, but the Greenskins also had armor made from scrap metal, so they were no worse than the other. And in terms of the body's resistance to impact, the elite guards of Crazy Fang could withstand 200 bullets per person, which was much stronger than humans.
All Gu Hang could use were more people and stronger firepower.
The battle site he chose was a crossroads.
Taking the starship's direction as the north, the greenskin commandos were coming from the south to the north, and they had to pass a wide intersection on the way. Gu Hang deployed heavy troops to the north of the intersection, which was the direction leading to the power cabin. The two battalions of the Xifeng Brigade were all here, but they were not piled up particularly thickly. Instead, they used infantry fighting vehicles as shelters, roadblocks, and firing points. The soldiers set up many obstacles in this eight-meter-wide passage.
If the greenskins want to get to the power cabin, then starting from this intersection, every meter forward will involve stepping over the corpses of the angry owls.
At the same time, troops were deployed on the two narrower east and west passages at the intersection. The 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division deployed a combat battalion on each side.
The whole row of soldiers lay down, the row behind them squatted, and the row behind them stood up. They pointed their guns at the intersection, and a little further back there were rocket launchers ready, waiting for the green-skinned orcs to pass by and then launch a full-scale fire attack on them.
At the same time, there is a reserve force, also composed of a battalion from the 22nd Regiment. They are on standby at the edge of the battlefield, and will outflank the rear of the greenskin commandos from the south of the crossroads after the battle begins.
Gu Hang prepared a big net for them.
But the key to this big net lies in himself and the four phoenixes.
Before boarding the starship, Gu Hang had already upgraded himself to a higher level.
The battle to annihilate the green-skinned orcs in the ruins of the tower not only provided a large amount of gift points, but the war also maxed out his experience points, reaching the level that could be upgraded to level five.
To reach level five, a full five hundred points of grace are required.
This brings a little bit of physicality, a little bit of spirituality.
In addition to this, there is a new talent.
When he boarded the starship, he had thought that he would probably have to deal with the greenskin fleet's boarding. Although he never thought that the boarding would threaten the safety of the Quintet, he still activated a layer of psychic energy to prepare for the worst.
This brought him an upgraded talent: [Advanced Telekinesis Control]
[Advanced Telekinetic Control: This talent will replace Telekinetic Control. You can now use psychic power more powerfully and directly control physical objects. Spirituality +2]
There are no new talents, but this upgraded version of telekinesis control is still quite reliable.
Telekinesis is a versatile and powerful psionic spell with outstanding effects.
What's more, after replacing it with advanced telekinetic control, it has a little more spirituality.
At this point, Gu Hang’s total spiritual attribute has reached 20 points.
His properties became:
[Hero: Gu Hang (camp leader), LV5, insufficient experience to level up]
[Physique: 10, Spirituality: 20]
[Features: Psionic Spellcaster, Governor of the Wrathful Owl Star, Enemy of the Storm]
[Talent: Body protection aura, advanced telekinesis control, mind manipulation]
This time, Gu Hang's own strength has been greatly improved. He has increased his spiritual attributes by two points, which means that his spiritual power and the power of his spiritual spells have more than doubled compared to before.
As a psyker who has been upgraded to level 5 and fully upgraded his spirituality, Gu Hang is already very strong. Still taking the Space Marine as an example, before the upgrade, he could only barely fight against an ordinary Space Marine one-on-one. But now, it is not a problem for him to crush a veteran, and he is basically better than a Chapter Warrior, and can barely fight against a company champion like Martins.
And his increased strength this time will be of great help in the upcoming battle to destroy the orc fleet commander.
As long as they could kill the orc warlord, then the encirclement he had arranged with the troops at hand would be meaningful, ensuring that all the green-skinned orcs were wiped out here, basically solving the threat of this round of boarding tactics. There might be some living green-skinned orcs scattered around the ship, but they were no longer a threat.
If I can't do it...
There is no need to say anything. Either you die here or explode in space with the starship.
This is a space naval battle. If the ship explodes, there is really no way to survive.
All preparations were made, and the battle came quickly.
Kuangya arrived a little faster than expected.
The commando team he led appeared at the southern end of the intersection. After a gate was violently demolished by them, a group of green-skinned guys rushed up.
The firepower of the infantry fighting vehicles and soldiers quickly filled the entire passage. Even if the five green-skinned guys were elite and no matter how good they were at fighting, they could not withstand the rain of bullets in such an environment where there was no room to dodge. The iron armor on their bodies was broken, and their strong bodies with strong resistance to impact rushed forward for dozens of steps, but finally fell under the dense firepower.
But what came up afterwards was not so easy to fight.
Those are two parallel killing tanks.
The machine guns on the infantry fighting vehicles can still cause effective damage to them, but they cannot be eliminated quickly. Similarly, the machine guns on the two killing tanks can also penetrate the armor of the walkers.
They advanced and fired at the same time. Under their cover, the orc boys also advanced. The two sides began to shoot fiercely, and the human soldiers began to suffer casualties.
An infantry fighting vehicle was blown up, taking away several soldiers nearby, but at the same time, multiple rocket launchers were used to blow up a killing tank that was riddled with holes from a machine gun.
However, during this process, the green-skinned orcs' team had already advanced some distance.
After the killing can was overturned, the greenskins didn't want to just rush forward for fun.
At least Kuang Ya can't stand this temper.
He pushed away a guy who was running faster than him, pushed away a fear tin that was still trying to rush up, and rushed to the front line himself.
The melta cannon on his shoulder was unleashed, piercing through half of the passage. From this intense red light energy melt line, three infantry fighting vehicles were pierced with large holes, and the pierced part was still melting further outward. These three vehicles were immediately silenced, and the infantry standing on this line were all killed.
All the rocket nests on his left arm were emptied, and a violent explosion occurred on the human soldiers' position.
The rain of bullets that had originally filled the entire passage suddenly fell silent for a moment.
The greenskin brigade took this opportunity to begin charging forward rapidly.
Even though the human soldiers' firepower was restored later, their marching speed was not particularly affected.
The fleet commander at the front blocked most of the firepower with his huge and strong body. The machine guns on the infantry fighting vehicles, even if they were concentrated and intensively bombarded on him, the effect was indeed a literal "metal storm": the bullets were metal, and hitting the body was like a gust of wind, which at most slowed down people's pace.
But on the contrary, as long as the melta cannon on his shoulder is fully charged and the rocket pod in his hand is automatically filled, a round of fire will destroy a section of the human position, and the firepower will stop immediately, and it will have to wait for the next wave of soldiers to come up before the firepower can be restored.
Besides, the firepower of the green-skinned orcs is not just from Crazy Fang himself.
The weapons equipped on the fear can and the killing can are equally powerful.
Still the orcs continued to advance.
In the process, green orcs kept falling, and even killing tanks were often destroyed. But at the same time, humans paid a higher price.
As a frontline commander, Perbov's heart was bleeding.
He assigned the two most valuable companies in his battalion, the Waste Hole Company and the Cowdy Company, to the most difficult tasks, as the first echelon to stop the greenskins.
But now, he can no longer contact these two companies.
In just a few minutes, his two most elite companies were gone.
There are many of his "fellow villagers" in these two companies.
Heartache, sadness, guilt...these emotions surrounded his heart.
However, as a commander on the front line, he still had to be ruthless and throw his subordinates, whom he regarded as his dearest ones, into this extremely tragic battlefield.
These were all good guys, but they shed their blood in a place so far away from home.
But this is also to defend our hometown.
The first battalion has lost nearly half of its staff, so the second battalion should take over.
Until new orders are issued, we must fight to the end, even if we all die on this battlefield!
Soon, the greenskins led by Crazy Fang arrived at the crossroads.
At this time, the soldiers who had been deployed in the passages on the east and west sides began to fire at full speed.
In addition to guns and bullets, there are also a large number of rocket launchers, which are used as infantry firepower and are launched fiercely.
The two battalion commanders of the 22nd Regiment guarding on both sides, although they were unable to witness the fierce battle at the corner passage with their own eyes, were extremely nervous when they heard the countless bullets flying across the intersection and the orders coming from the monitoring headphones, and learned that two of their most elite companies were wiped out in just a few minutes.
They no longer think about life and death.
They were thinking that as soon as the battle started, they must use all the firepower at hand and fire with all their strength.
If you don't do this and still want to save the key weapon for use at the critical moment, you will probably not have the chance to use it.
To put it bluntly, they are just some rocket launchers.
But the greenskins are not fools.
Seeing that the defenses ahead were so tight and we were about to cross another intersection, how could we not be on guard?
Not only did Kuangya stay here for a while to continue to attract firepower, but he also waited for more orc mechas to come up. According to his strategy, he would split a part of his forces to attack on both sides at that time, at least to stand still until the main force passed.
The infantrymen on both sides also acted decisively and fired almost all their rocket launchers at once.
Amid the powerful bombing, all commanders heard a new order:
"Everyone attack!"
This was by no means an easy order to accept, but whether it was the soldiers of the Xifeng Brigade or the infantry of the 22nd Regiment, they all moved under the orders of the officers, instructors and counselors.
"The moment of death has come! Follow me to charge!" Officers, instructors, and political instructors took the lead, and the soldiers followed closely.
They fired and rushed towards the center of the intersection!

Although it is only one chapter, each chapter has 4k words or more.
The downside of not having any drafts saved is here. I wanted to post all of this in one go, but I write impromptu every day and can’t finish it…
No matter how many words I update tomorrow, I will definitely finish this paragraph!
