Chapter 45, The Governor will take action
Perbov felt a chill in his heart.
He knew very well what the consequences would be if these monsters really broke through the fire blockade and rushed towards him.
The Abscess Sprayers that I thought were very dangerous among the enemies were actually nothing. The most terrifying ones were still the ordinary Abscess Monsters.
The main reason is that there are too many of them.
Once they got into close combat, even though the soldiers were equipped with bayonets, they naturally had no way to fire when they were in close combat. When more and more, almost endless monsters rushed in, how could his men defeat the enemy with just bayonets?
Even if a soldier can kill three or five abscess monsters in close combat, it will be useless because the enemy will use even greater numbers to completely overwhelm them.
In fact, there are already signs of this happening.
There were already twice as many zombie dogs as before, and after the firepower weakened, they were the first to rush into the soldiers' line.
This is the first step to shake the entire defense line.
The zombie dogs that rush in need to be dealt with by the soldiers at close range, and as long as they spend a little more time dealing with these zombie dogs, it will further weaken the firepower. More zombie dogs may rush in later, and the situation will quickly enter a vicious cycle and collapse quickly.
Pobov could see the trend.
But he was somewhat helpless.
He was shouting at the top of his lungs, asking the soldiers to hold on and maintain their firepower.
But it's hard.
The soldiers under his command were not cowards, but pain, strong winds, and white fog were all objective difficulties that could not be overcome easily.
Especially the white fog, which seriously impaired the soldiers' vision. Even if they could stick to their combat positions, they could only blindly shoot into the surrounding fog. Only when they got closer could they see some vague figures.
The decline in shooting accuracy greatly reduces the power of the firepower network.
The only effective thing he could do at this moment was to let the more important firepower units maintain the attack.
The mortar positions under the unified command of the battalion headquarters could not stop, and Perbov also asked the mortar gunners to place the landing point of the shells closer.
Previously, most shells were fired at the edge of the woods as the first wave of killing and interception. They were not fired too close because they were worried about accidental injuries. At the same time, when the enemy got closer, the formation became sparse due to casualties on the way to the charge, which would reduce the lethality of the artillery fire.
But I can’t care about that now.
In addition, the machine gunners deployed at various points also tried their best to stick to their posts. Their situation was slightly better. The small positions temporarily built with wooden boards and sandbags at the firing points could block the wind a little. The machine gunners endured the pain, lay on the ground, held the trigger with their fingers, and did not care whether the barrel would overheat and be scrapped, and madly poured bullets into the fog.
At the same time, the firepower of the four Wanderers never stopped.
It is precisely because the three important firepower points, mortars, machine guns and machine guns, were not silenced that the firepower of the entire defense line was still guaranteed to a certain extent.
If not, the defense line would have collapsed by now.
However, Perbov knew that he could only achieve this much if he relied solely on his own command.
The fragile balance can only slow down the process of the defense line's collapse, but it cannot return to the previous level of completely keeping all monsters out of the range of firepower.
He raised his head angrily and looked at three storm eagles, one big and two small, vaguely visible in the air in the fog.
He knew that was the root cause.
But for these three guys in the sky... Perbov really had no way to deal with them.
He had ordered all the sharpshooters in the company to shoot at the sky, but it had little effect; he also took out his pistol and shot at the sky, but that was more like venting his anger and was of no use.
He had tried very hard, but what happened next seemed to symbolize that his efforts were about to be destroyed.
The current position can be stabilized because the mortar positions and machine gun fire points still exist, a factor that can also be clearly seen by the Storm Apostles flying in the sky.
They didn't bother with the Wanderer V. Their storm magic didn't have the ability to penetrate the armor and injure the driver inside.
And to harm the infantry fighting vehicle itself...
Forget it.
In comparison, machine gunners and mortar operators are easier to deal with.
Wind bombs fell from the sky.
A wind bomb as big as a wheel cut through the white fog from mid-air, came straight down, landed on a machine gun position, and exploded with a loud bang.
It was like a cannonball, the sudden explosion of wind pressure blew people away; the wind blades scattered under high pressure were really like broken shrapnel, cutting the human body into pieces.
The machine gunner and the two soldiers next to him who were blown away by the wind bomb were already dead when they fell to the ground.
The removal of a machine gun fire point had a significant impact. Immediately, several zombie dogs rushed into the area it originally covered, followed by abscess monsters.
The pressure suddenly increased.
Seeing two more wind bombs falling from the sky, Pobov was already extremely anxious.
He subconsciously moved towards the point where the wind bullet landed, trying to block it with his body.
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his mind: "Don't worry, lead your team with your heart."
"Mr. Governor?!"
Perbov recognized the voice and looked around but saw nothing.
Only then did he realize that the voice came directly from his mind.
He suddenly realized and recalled the battle by the river valley and those people who died in very strange ways.
The Governor possesses some kind of magical power called psychic power and is not a powerless person.
If it's the Governor, then there will be no problem!
Pobov had such deep trust in the Governor in his heart.
Gu Hang did not disappoint him.
The two wind bombs that were about to hit the ground and that he wished he could block with his body suddenly dissipated in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the three storm eagles flying in the sky also disappeared.
Three figures fell from mid-air.
In an instant, the situation changed drastically.
Of course, all this originated from Gu Hang’s actions.
At this moment, he has already gotten off the infantry fighting vehicle.
Through the armor of the Wanderer, the psychic energy directly released to the outside would be attenuated. In order to ensure success, he left the infantry fighting vehicle and went outside.
'Psychic Cut' is a really useful spell.
Gu Hang did not use this spell directly on the three cultists. The soul strength of the three guys was quite high, and he could see them clearly in his spiritual vision. Even if he went all out, he might not be able to cut off their heads and kill their souls.
The target chosen by Gu Hang was the psychic connection that controlled the Storm Eagle.
It would be a more convenient method to destroy the flying magic, let the three fall, and then annihilate them physically.
Beside him, 11 Marine commandos rushed out and approached the three fallen people one by one.
These commandos raised their guns and shot while running at high speed, and their accuracy was incredibly high. The metal spikes accurately hit the targets that were free falling in mid-air.
This is far beyond the level of their colleagues.
The reason why these 11 special forces members can perform at such a high level is that they have surpassed the T4 level of fighters and reached the T3 level.
