Chapter 920: Take a few more traitors to hell
When the sound of gunfire rang out in the tomb, Tulsa could already see the coffin with his naked eyes.
Seeing it in person is even more uncomfortable than seeing it through a hologram.
All the humans present felt a hatred that seemed to come from genetic instinct, driving them to rush towards the coffin.
Before Talma commanded his troops to launch an attack, a communication signal came in.
That came from Commander-in-Chief Martins.
"I have received your latest report. Make sure to keep an eye on that 'thing' and don't let the traitor get it!"
"Yes, sir!"
Tulsa answered firmly.
Is he really sure?
No, he didn't.
He could already see the enemy's lineup.
The number of Chaos traitors was just as he had expected. The human defense line was under great pressure, and it was only a matter of time before it collapsed. However, with the tenacious will of the Alliance soldiers, the Army Division, with the help of less than 30 Space Marines, withstood the fierce attack of Chaos traitors and Chaos Space Marines, which was ten times the number of Chaos traitors.
Even if their end is bound to collapse, at least they haven't collapsed yet. They won't let too many enemies in. Those Chaos traitors, who are engaged in special operations, only sent in a special forces team.
However, this special forces team is still very strong. Tulsa saw more than 30 Chaos Space Marines wearing traitor power armor. Among them, the most terrifying ones are the three Chaos Dreadnoughts. They were the ones who blew up the church wall; they are also the biggest obstacle in the battle now. It is unknown how much it will cost to kill these three Dreadnoughts.
Fortunately, among the enemies, there were a dozen or so Chaos Wizards who were quite formidable, and they seemed to be unable to spare any effort at the moment. They were surrounding the coffin, doing some unknown but obviously bad actions.
As for the small number of armed Chaos believers, Tulsa ignored them.
The lineup of just thirty Chaos Space Marines and three Corrupted Dreadnoughts is not something they can deal with easily.
Objectively speaking, the winning rate of both sides is about 20:80, and our side only has 20%, no more.
But he still answered the commander-in-chief very firmly, not because he had a chance of winning, but because he had already made plans to disregard life and death.
He has made up his mind to complete the mission even if it means sending himself and all his fighting brothers to death.
And if even that cannot accomplish the mission, then it at least means that he and his brothers have tried their best and can have a clear conscience.
With this mentality, he ordered an attack.
However, although he is enlightened, he is not stupid. He will not rush in and kill all his brothers and then feel glorious about it.
He still remembered his mission, which was to prevent the enemy from obtaining the target item, not to wipe out the enemy completely.
He decided to try a pull on the edge first.
There were more than half an infantry company left, setting up their weapons.
Even though they were only mortal soldiers, Tulsa had to make the most of every bit of strength it had.
Only after they had completed their preparations did the Space Marines set out.
They appeared from corners and cover, and began firing inward with bolters and plasma guns, targeting the Chaos wizards.
Tulsa could see that the actions of those Chaos Wizards were the key to their obtaining the "thing" in the coffin. Attacking them, even if it didn't directly cause casualties, would at least interfere with their efficiency.
This is indeed the case.
Although the psychic shield appeared and blocked many of their attacks, there was still a plasma beam that penetrated the psychic shield and killed a Chaos Wizard. The dark red chain connecting it to the coffin suddenly broke, and the coffin suddenly cracked, from which a translucent palm stretched out, with purple-blue data streams wrapped around its five fingers.
The Chaos Wizards became visibly nervous. They increased the intensity of their chanting. Talsa could even see veins bulging on their foreheads.
efficient!
Tulsa was about to order an intensified attack, but the enemy would not let them continue fighting like this.
The firepower of the chaotic enemy also covered over.
Some of the banyan lizard warriors were injured, while others were suppressed and unable to show up.
The only pressure that could be put on the Chaos Wizard was the first round of volleys.
But the Chaos enemies did not want to continue to take the risk of giving them a chance.
The three Dreadnoughts started moving, and a dozen Chaos Space Marines followed them, pressing towards the location where Salta and the others were. The remaining twenty or so Chaos Space Marines raised their guns and continued to suppress the enemy with firepower.
The raid was a success.
The Chaos rebels did suppress the Banyan Warriors, and the three Dreadnoughts were quite resistant to attack. The bombs and plasma beams that Tulsa and others occasionally fired could not pose an effective threat to them, and it was difficult to pass them and effectively strike the Chaos Space Marines accompanying the attack. Even if a single-soldier missile cannon fired out, it caused a huge shock wave in the narrow space, but when the smoke and dust dissipated, the three Dreadnoughts swept away the half-collapsed passage, and continued to stride forward with only a little smoke and dust on their bodies.
A string of extremely heavy bombs - which could even be considered artillery shells - were fired from the Dreadnought, shattering the bunker at the corner and smashing a Banyan Lizard warrior who was unable to move in time into pieces.
Tulsa sighed.
This scene was actually within his expectations, but when the three corrupted fearless beasts really rushed over with an unstoppable momentum, they still felt troubled.
The scene in which a single-soldier anti-armor missile would blast the Dreadnought to pieces did not happen, so Tulsa could only continue to follow the original plan.
The three Dreadnoughts, along with the Chaos Space Marines, were already approaching.
As soon as he showed his head around the corner, the mortal soldiers ambushed on both sides opened fire fiercely!
Of course, the mortal troops also have weapons that can harm Space Marines and even Dreadnoughts. The heavy bolters, plasma cannons, and even the melta bombs in the hands of the soldiers are all very deadly weapons.
It doesn't matter who has these things in their hands. As long as they can be successfully launched and hit the target, the damage they cause will be the same.
But the prerequisite is [being able to hit].
This is a big problem.
This kind of weapon can be carried around by Space Marines, but in the hands of mortal soldiers, it is a very difficult weapon to operate, and for mortal soldiers, the killing power of bolters and plasma pistols is excessive. After all, they usually fight against opponents of the same strength as themselves, so there is no need to use this kind of weapon. Forcibly using it will cause more harm to oneself than to the enemy.
If you want to use them safely and effectively, it is best to set up these powerful weapons in a fixed position and shoot at a fixed angle.
In this way, even for Space Marines, it would be difficult to break through the area of frontal fire blockade.
Well...it's just the difficulty.
The problem of mortal soldiers being 'difficult to hit' when facing elite opponents like Space Marines is also reflected in another aspect.
Mortals' nerve reaction speed, aiming, mentality...all kinds of qualities are far inferior to those of "supermen" like Space Marines.
The process of the soldier pulling the trigger looked like slow motion to the Space Marines, and they were fully capable of taking advantage of that time to dodge and make the shooting ineffective.
The Space Marines' counterattack against mortal soldiers is often a fatal shot.
The difference between the two sides is indeed huge, which is reflected on the battlefield. When mortal troops face Space Marines without special means, they are usually unable to fight back even if they have reliable weapons.
However, the current environment is different.
Those Dreadnoughts and Space Marines did see the ambushing mortals and were aware of their intention to open fire in advance.
However, it is not so easy to dodge.
Those Chaos Space Marines are still okay, but the Dreadnoughts really have no way to dodge in such a narrow range.
Of course, the Dreadnoughts also have their own characteristics.
It is unrealistic to expect it to dodge flexibly with such a big body; but their lack of flexibility is exchanged for sufficiently thick armor.
As three heavy bolter guns fired wildly and two plasma cannons opened fire, a Dreadnought stood in front of the other Chaos units.
But this is exactly what the human soldiers intended to do. They ignored other targets and kept firing at it.
The counterattack from the Dreadnought also followed.
The heavy weapons in the hands of the human soldiers only survived for less than eight seconds before they were all destroyed.
But is eight seconds of close-range shooting enough to destroy a Dreadnought?
As it turns out, no.
Although his body was covered with wounds, he still stood up tremblingly.
But what if there’s a surprise attack from the banyan lizard warriors?
Tulsa, who had just led his troops into hiding, rushed out again.
The mortal soldiers gave their lives, and the opportunity created for them must not be wasted.
The roaring dragon descendants opened fire fiercely. Tulsa was the fastest to rush forward, and four of his battle brothers followed him, holding melee weapons and getting close to the enemy. The battle brothers were responsible for temporarily resisting the enemy, while Tulsa himself raised the gravity scepter high, and the tip of the scepter, with thunder exploding like a shout, smashed hard on the support leg of the dreadnought mecha.
Even the powerful Dreadnought Mecha was bent at its knees by this blow.
Then, he smashed it three more times with the hammer, completely silencing the fallen Dreadnought.
At this time, only two of the four fighting brothers who followed him were left.
Under the cover of their brothers who were shooting from a distance, they quickly evacuated.
At this time, Tulsa was the last one to come, smashing the heads of two Chaos Space Marines. And, in the end, under the bursting fire of the other two Dreadnoughts, he still showed incredible agility in his Terminator armor, dodging the deadly shells one by one and retreating to the bunker in a flash.
The Chaos traitors, shouting obscenities, gave chase, and a tug-of-war chase ensued in the narrow space of the catacombs, which was full of forks in the road.
Despite their harsh words, the Chaos Traitors actually became more conservative in their actions.
The loss of a dreadnought made them very alert. They didn't want to be ambushed by heavy firepower from human soldiers again when they turned a corner.
The fighting power displayed by Tulsa also forced them to take it seriously.
The enemy's caution played into Tulsa's hands.
They would pull slowly, delay, and even when the opponent showed signs of returning, they would launch an attack in return and make sure to hold the enemy back.
And finally, what he wanted to see finally happened.
He heard gunshots and violent explosions not far away, in the direction of the coffin.
This is exactly what he planned.
Attack, interfere with the Chaos Wizard, attract the enemy's pursuit, destroy a Dreadnought at a certain cost, and then use the environment to pull the enemy. The more core goal is to take advantage of the complex passages in the underground tombs to bypass the coffin from another direction for another team of seven Primaris veterans with high-explosive weapons, and launch an attack while the enemy's main force is distracted.
But at the same time, he became extremely nervous.
This is his last resort, will he get what he wants?
The enemy still has troops left behind. Can his brothers complete the mission?
He heard more violent explosions, which was good news. The more intense the fighting over there, the more disturbance the Chaos traitors were experiencing.
The main force of Chaos traitors that were chasing them wanted to turn back, but were entangled by Tulsa's team.
However, the situation then took a turn for the worse.
In the information disclosed through Tulsa's tactical eyepiece, the vital signs of the seven combat brothers who were specially marked with heavy responsibilities quickly disappeared one by one in the following time.
They all died in battle.
And it was obvious that although the Chaos Wizards were disturbed to a certain extent, they were obviously not stopped.
While he was disappointed, he also realized that he was in big trouble.
In order to tie up the enemy in front of them and prevent them from returning to provide support, they had gotten too close to the enemy.
Now, it is not so easy to close the distance again.
Those Chaos traitors were not in a hurry to go back. Instead, they surrounded the Banyan Lizard Warriors, who were outnumbered by only ten people, as if they were going to annihilate them all.
He sighed and called out to his remaining battle brothers:
"If this is our final fate, let us take a few more traitors with us to hell!"
