Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 130 03.0129: ‘Hunting and Encirclement’

The third route of troops was quickly divided into 56 twelve-man killing teams in the form of squads. They held their weapons and carefully advanced into the cabin.

The exchange of fire was not far away, and everyone was fully alert. Any slackness would lead to the death of the entire team. There was not much room for error in close combat.

The shield guards covered the heavy boarding team and advanced forward, followed by the demolition axemen, and two armed soldiers followed alternately.

The scouts in the breakthrough team released the C.A.T unit and the servo skull to conduct reconnaissance. These clever technological creations can help them to warn to a certain extent.

The armed sailor team and the sailors were mixed. The former carried a shining bayonet, and the latter followed on the side, holding a sharp sailor knife. Once they met the enemy, they would rush up to close combat fanatically after the sailors fired a round of volleys.

Horatio used his command hand to conduct micro-management and reconnaissance 150 meters behind the annihilation team, while following the pace of the front team.

A 12-man elite breakthrough team served as his personal guard. In the nearest cabin, there were 5 armed sailor teams responsible for peripheral alert and reserve.

His position at the back did not mean that he was safe. He might be attacked by invaders who came out of nowhere at any time. The clearing team in front did not dare to guarantee that they would not miss anyone. Who knows which bulkhead the enemy's axeman would cut open to rush in.

"Contact the enemy!"

The breakthrough team in front encountered the cult troops, and those guys with messy faces rushed towards the boarding team.

[Have they fought here? ] Horatio frowned.

He was in the outer side of the No. 4 macro gun cabin on the port side, and behind him was directly below the command platform. The enemy killed here, which meant that the situation inside was indeed not optimistic.

The double-barreled heavy shotgun in the shield guard's hand opened fire, and the shotgun shells smashed the first guy who rushed in and the person behind him into pieces.

Other enemies rushed over, and the navy heavy axeman chopped the head of the leading Blood Pact soldier with an axe. The sharp demolition axe directly split the man and the spiked helmet into two pieces. Under the huge impact, the eyeballs rolled out of the eye sockets, dragging a string of tissues.

The armed sailor squad advancing forward also began to fight with the invading Blood Pact soldiers relying on the cabin structure.

In one of the main cabins of the must-pass road, 8 sailors were attached to the bulkhead, preparing to break through in a cross-shaped manner, and the other 2 were in the cabin farther away and reported the real-time situation to their teammates.

Two more sailors had already died. Before they died, they rushed in as a reconnaissance team to explore the enemy's firepower arrangement and briefly dispelled the "fog of war" for Horatio. That was the precious few seconds, Horatio completed the calibration.

"Sailor Squadron 17, I have marked the enemy's position for you, prepare the stun grenade."

"Yes, sir." The captain of the sailor squad immediately used sign language to signal the sailor standing opposite him to take out the stun grenade from his waist.

Then he hid in the cabin and peeked out slightly, and soon he was surprised to find that there was a big red arrow shadow on the enemy's head.

The officer really marked all the positions of the invaders, and his men's sacrifice was not in vain.

"Can you see the red arrow?" he asked the sailor opposite.

The other nodded.

The captain of the sailor squad roughly understood the strength of the officer, and whispered to the surrounding soldiers: "Kylo, ​​you left. Fili, you right. Just shoot at the place with the red arrow."

The sailors nodded, and everyone was very close, holding laser guns in their hands ready.

The captain stretched out three fingers and began to count down.

He raised his thumb, and the sailor opposite stretched out his arm and threw the stun grenade inside.

Bang! ! ——

In an explosion of bright light and harsh noise, the squad leader walked in first.

He quickly fired at the enemies marked by red arrows in front of him, and his men on the left and right followed him alternately, cooperating with skillful left and right cover, and quickly killed all the marked enemies.

Those Blood Pact soldiers who were blinded by stun grenades either fired randomly or retreated into the bunkers, thinking that the sailors didn't know they were hiding there.

A Blood Pact soldier who retreated behind the wall was still blurry-eyed. He heard the footsteps and was ready to wait for his eyes to recover before attacking the sailors by surprise.

As a result, the sailor who came over directly stabbed the Blood Pact soldier in the abdomen with a bayonet.

The traitor was stunned, and in vain he grasped the bayonet that pierced his abdomen with his hands, and slid down weakly against the bulkhead, leaving a smear of bright red blood on the gray steel plate.

The exchange of fire was very short, and only one sailor was injured in the shoulder by the random laser, and 8 invaders were killed.

Seeing that all the people in front had died, the Blood Pact soldiers who were left behind for support began to run back, trying to block the enemy in the next cabin.

The sailors immediately knew their movements from Horatio's instructions, and rushed towards the shadow marked by Horatio, sticking to the bulkhead and sticking out the barrels of their guns to fire at the backs of the retreating Blood Pact soldiers, killing the remaining five fish that escaped the net.

The captain raised his hand to signal his men to continue moving forward and clear the next cabin.

They were only a small part of the entire battle. Throughout the entire area, there were fifty or sixty teams like them, advancing in an orderly manner under Horatio's command.

Even if he couldn't take care of all the places where the firefights were taking place at the same time, Horatio could always mark various phantoms and warnings for the soldiers as much as possible through his command hand.

In the cabin near the corridor on the other side.

"Team 16! Enemy in front, squad 17 to support from the flank!" Horatio used the sound array system to coordinate with the command hand to mobilize.

He could clearly see the situation of all the squads within the command radius from a bird's-eye view, and this feeling of being in control made the soldiers feel at ease.

They found that this officer could always mobilize the nearest unit to attack from the side after a squad engaged the enemy, giving them a solid reassurance.

The armed sailors with comprehensive information advantages rushed from the side that the enemy did not expect, catching them off guard.

They rushed to the enemy 5 meters in front of the enemy and fired a round of fatal volleys, and then launched a bayonet attack on the enemy.

The sailors roared, and the sharp monomolecular bayonets pierced into the invader's chest like cutting cheese.

They were so powerful that many enemies were knocked down by them.

The people in front were still charging, while the people behind kicked the enemies who wanted to get up, knocked them to the ground, stepped on their bodies, stabbed their bayonets, and rolled their blades with anger and hatred.

Although the Imperial Navy was the branch of the military with the largest caliber artillery in the entire empire, its officers and soldiers attached great importance to the use of cold weapons.

This was completely different from the Imperial Guard who first plowed the ground with artillery for more than a dozen rounds before charging.

There was no artillery support in the cabin, and cold weapons were sometimes more useful than hot weapons in close combat. If you calculate carefully, the sailors may be the mortal troops with the highest frequency of hand-to-hand combat.

Compared with the laser gun itself, the sailors trust the shining bayonets and sailor knives more. Launching a bayonet charge in a narrow corridor would be a huge morale blow to the attacked party, and many enemies would be forced to give up defense and start retreating.

At the same time, the Imperial Navy has sufficient supplies, and the food for sailors and crew members is much better than that of the Imperial Guards. Under normal circumstances, there is no situation of hunger and fullness. In addition, they also maintain and maintain the ship equipment on weekdays, so everyone is strong and sturdy.

This is even more true for the breakthroughers who are full-time soldiers. The void boarding armor on them is heavier than the carapace armor. Without a good physique, let alone fighting, just running can make you breathless.

"Team 22, there are enemies at 10:30! Team 24, keep the current route, wait for the enemy soldiers in front to rush over, you will rush to the front and turn right to cut behind them!"

"Understood! Sir!"

Almost all the teams on the front line are in contact with the invaders. They have both crazy cultists and cold and terrible blood covenant soldiers.

Horatio used a bird's-eye view to look down at the bloody battle, and constantly sent the reserve team forward to replenish the personnel.

The scale of the battle gradually became larger and larger, from a single team's encounter with the enemy, to multiple teams fighting a group of enemies.

This kind of brutal fight is thrilling and requires great courage.

Horatio saw that the three squads of armed sailors on the right were confronted with a large group of Blood Pact soldiers at the corner.

The distance was so close that there was no time to fire a volley. The two sides engaged in a round of bayonet confrontation. The two rows of blood blades stabbed into each other's soldiers' bodies, and blood flowed like a spring dug in the ground.

Several people fell down because of this. The wounded sailors who were not dead howled, but other sailors could not help them for the time being, because they had to fill the gap and fight the enemy, otherwise once the human wall was torn apart, everyone would die.

The sailors in the back row threw impact grenades forward. This special grenade has a large number of fragments but a small charge. It is specially used to reduce damage to the hull and increase casualties to personnel.

And the collision explosion mode is adopted, and the sailors can throw it on the deck above their heads to cause air explosions.

The Blood Pact soldiers on the opposite side fell down in groups, but soon they also threw grenades at the naval armed forces.

However, the Imperial Guard's grenades had time-delay fuses, and after they were thrown out, some of them were thrown back by the bold sailors like a ball.

But some rebellious Imperial Guard veterans still held the grenades in their hands for a while before throwing them out, killing the sailors with instant explosions.

The sailors in the rear filled the battle positions. Some short-statured void sailors and naturally short-statured Leitling crew members crouched like loaches, fighting with bayonets from both sides. Soldiers who fired light guns squeezed into the front line of the fight between their legs, wielding broad-bladed sailor knives and boarding axes to chop the enemy's lower three roads and abdomen, and shooting with a pistol in the other hand.

The naval dagger and boarding axe are of moderate length and light, very suitable for narrow terrain. Combined with a pistol, it is even more powerful. It didn't take long for the first row of enemies to be chopped down.

The blood covenant soldier whose leg was chopped off screamed, and then was trampled under the feet of the neatly advancing armed sailors, and was stabbed by the spearmen in the back.

The sailors holding naval short spears stood behind the sailors who were engaged in bayonet fighting, and when the time was right, they suddenly thrust the sharp spear tip at the enemy.

Enemy soldiers kept covering the bloody holes in their bodies and fell down with blood spitting out.

After repelling the enemy, the sailors knelt in one row and stood in two rows, firing another round of volleys, killing several people.

But the cultists holding bloody machetes and the Blood Pact heavy axemen in the Blood Pact army also rushed up. They were wearing heavy armor and relied on their solid shells to crash into the sailors under the lasers. The two sides howled and fought each other, and broken limbs and chopped heads kept flying.

This made it difficult for the sailors to defend with bayonets, so they had to send more sailors to fight them hand-to-hand.

Horatio promptly dispatched two breakthrough teams to cut to the right rear flank of the Blood Pact Army, and sent three nearby mixed teams of sailors to support the sailors who were fighting hand-to-hand.
