StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 36
As Reagan said, a week after the Polk’s Pride Command Post’s offensive preparation order was issued, in early July, the Fourth Brigade of the No. 7 Third Ground Assault Division, where Augustus was located, officially set off.

Augustus was only a corporal, and he was not qualified to know more details about the battle.Even the platoon leader Reagan was told that he could only understand the part about his own troops in the "Attack Prediction of June 2488, 6".

Namely: Arcturus Mengsk's No.30 Third Ground Assault Division 7nd and 1th Brigades set off from the lower city of Polk's Pride seven days later (1:[-] a.m. on July [-]).

Cross the river at the Ferry of Yesha Town, 20 miles away from Poke's Pride, on the lower reaches of the Padik River, and detour to the area of ​​Valinor, the eastern town of Poke's Pride, which is actually controlled by Camerian, at one o'clock in the morning on the second day (July 7) Attack.The 2th and [-]th Avenger Wings of Alpha Squadron and the [-]st Bomber Wing will provide fire support for the attacking force.

In the early hours of July 7st, Augustus and his squad had put on power armor and were ready to go.Since there were not enough vehicles, the 1th Brigade and its brother brigade had to march hurriedly to the ferry in Yesha Town.

Augustus's squad, dressed in CMC power armor, lined up in four columns and ran along a dusty dirt road with the three-platoon leader Reagan.In front of them is the fourth row in the second row, and behind them is the second row in the third row. The distance between several squads is about 40 yards.The sound of the power boots hitting the ground was like a dull drum, like the sound of a metal giant galloping across the ground.

Whether Augustus looked forward or backward, the undulating helmet and the shoulder with the wolf head emblem could not be seen at a glance. A silver-gray torrent was moving at an average speed of 5 miles per hour. March tirelessly on the dark green land of Turaxis.

At this time, Augustus couldn't help but think that if a ground assault division with a number of 2 to 3 was equipped with power armor, the military expenses paid by the Tyranid Federation would be unimaginable to him.

This can also indirectly prove why even with the size of the Tyrannian Federation, so many planets with tens of billions of people share the same war, the people will feel deeply overwhelmed.

While Augustus and the others were running, large trailers and self-propelled artillery vehicles loaded with arc tanks and Goliath armed robots rumbled past from time to time.Whenever a trailer full of tanks and walking mechas passed by the soldiers, the tank crew and mecha drivers on it would wave to the soldiers.

At the same time, there are about 45 fighter planes of the Avengers Wing in the sky to escort the marching army.

As he followed the troops, Augustus was constantly thinking about what the rest of the attack order should be.Judging from the mobilization of the second and fourth brigades, the Supreme Command obviously did not stick to attacking from the Padik River in front, but chose to attack from the flank of Camerian controlling Polk's Pride.

However, the troops that turned around to the flanks were obviously more than the troops of these two brigades. This kind of transfer was obviously huge, and it was impossible for Kel Morian not to notice the large-scale transfer of the federal army.If the purpose of the Supreme Command is to let these troops launch a surprise attack, it is estimated that it will not have much effect.

Unless these Kel-Morians are blind and deaf.

Just as they were thinking, a thunderous roar suddenly came from above the heads of Augustus and the others. Some of them stopped and looked up to the sky, causing the officers to roar.

Over the comm channel in Augustus's class came the snarl-filled exclamation, and above them a spindle-shaped space station was falling.

This huge space station released an extremely bright light when it was still in the atmosphere. From the position of Augustus and others, it was a huge fireball falling rapidly from the sky.With an earth-shattering bang, the huge fireball fell into the jungle far away from the army.

It appears that the battle in the Turaxis synchronous orbit has come to an end.

When the vanguard of the [-]th Brigade and the [-]nd Battalion in the middle had already arrived at the town of Yesha and crossed the Padik River to the opposite bank through the ferry, the Camerians' reconnaissance plane arrived belatedly.And when Augustus's squad stepped on an open steamship converted from a civilian ship and set foot on the land on the north bank of the Padik River, the reconnaissance plane had already been driven away by the Federation's Avengers.

The width of the section of the river at the ferry crossing in Yesha Town is narrower than the section that flows through the center of Polk’s Pride. On the other side of the river is an undeveloped land, and the height of the wormwood is even higher than that of people wearing power armor. Augustus' knee.

The water-soaked wormwood on the river bank was very slippery, so Augustus had to open the hook-shaped telescopic spikes on his power boots and nail himself into the soil so as not to slip and roll into the river.

Before the fifth battalion, an unlucky guy from the third battalion had fallen into the Padik River because of a fall on the bank, and now a dozen local fishermen were trying to get him in their boats.

Not only that, but this guy was nailed to the pillar of shame.Every time a troop passes by this ferry, the sergeant major guarding the ferry will use this as an example to remind latecomers to be careful.

After crossing the Padik River, the battalions of the [-]th Brigade continued northward.The green vegetation on the north bank is more dense than that on the south bank, and the marines sometimes have to advance in the jungle as tall as a person.Fortunately, when they were wearing power armor, each of them was a giant whose height was much higher than that of ordinary people, so they would not lose track of the people in front of them.

At this time, the sun had just risen in the sky, and there were sporadic gunshots in the distance from time to time. Augustus guessed that the vanguard had collided with Kel Morian's scout troops.

On Augustus' side, he had never seen even a single Kel-Morian. He always kept an eye on the sky and his feet, guarding against landmines and bombers that appeared suddenly.But so far, all is well.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that day that Augustus's fifth battalion came out of the jungle. Outside the jungle was an open land with ups and downs, and some houses could be seen in the distance.

In the northeast of the jungle, that is, in the direction of two o'clock where Augustus is located, there are several highlands connected by trenches. Near the highlands is a small village with a dozen wooden houses. Burning.

As soon as Augustus stepped out of the jungle, the vanguard in front engaged a Kel-Morian army.At ten o'clock, there was a Camerian artillery position, and shells whizzed past the heads of Augustus and others.

One of the shots landed not far from the right of Augustus, a mud column composed of mud, grass roots and shrapnel rose up like a fountain, and a large piece of mud fell within a hundred yards. It ended up leaving a crater about 20 to 26 feet in diameter and about 10 feet deep.

The shock wave almost knocked Augustus who was wearing power armor to the ground, and some reflected shrapnel swept across his plastron and shoulder armor, making finger-deep dents.

The squads where the shells landed immediately dispersed and fell to the ground, while Augustus jumped directly into the previous crater.

"What is our mission?" Augustus asked on the squad-platoon comm channel.

"Our target is the Z-103 highland in the direction of two o'clock." The platoon leader Reagan shouted on the communication channel.

"Run and shoot!"
