StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 52 Painted Blue
"The main force of the Haigelong Legion can't walk out of the Uranus Mountains to attack the Howe Fortress under the nose of the Zulu outpost, and their transport fleet can't escape our satellite radar." Augustus is extremely Say it with confidence.

Although he was just an ordinary non-commissioned officer, his duty was to obey the orders of the chief and restrain his subordinates, but in his spare time, apart from reading books and playing cards, Augustus spent the rest of his time studying maps and playing tactics in the sand table on, and firmly believe that this will come in handy.

"The Higorons wandering around Fort Howe are actually some assault units of 300 to 200 people, scattered over a vast land of about [-] million square miles. And all these troops are actually equivalent to our A brigade of thousands of people."

"So, I think that the enemy we are about to face may only have a few hundred people or even fewer."

"They dare to attack the fortress with only a few hundred people?" The squad leader of the first class had already been persuaded by Augustus, but he still found it unbelievable.The fortress-like outer wall of Fort Howe is made of cubes of stone blocks, with a thick layer of plain steel plate embedded on the outside. The large-caliber machine gun and rotating automatic electromagnetic machine gun turret are enough to withstand an infantry brigade.

"Those Kemerian people are indeed very courageous, but this is definitely not the only thing that supports them to take risks." Augustus looked at everyone.

"There's a ghost!" Renault was listening. He was already very smart and good at thinking about problems, and his tacit understanding with Augustus was getting higher and higher over such a long time.

"Peter who drives the Gladiator transport plane, that hippie, I knew it was him."

"Jerome? He's always sneaking around and telling me he's trying to steal donuts. Does that make sense?"

"Lieutenant Justin! You can't be wrong, he said he was a sweet party when he was eating FD individual rations!" Everyone accepted it without hesitation, and began to think about who the insider was, but almost everyone thought of the insider They all have their own subjective prejudices, and after talking for a long time, there are not many of them that are the same.

"Augustus, after talking so much, you should already have a plan." Reagan looked at Augustus.

"I have a plan," said Augustus. "Of course, you will be the one who gives the final order."

"Cunning guy, I let you say all the good things, do you think I have other choices?" Reagan shook his head.

"Now the nearest city to us is Oak Forest, which is less than ten miles away. We will first join up with the [-]nd Battalion there, and then go to support Fort Howe. In contrast, although Tavis East in the east is stationed More troops, but by the time we got there, it was already daylight."

Augustus said: "I know that the [-]nd Battalion was transferred to Oak Grove two weeks ago, but I don't know if they are still there."

"If we don't get the support of the second battalion, we will stop here." He drew a circle on the map.In addition to the major cities marked on the map, the landmark buildings and the most famous enterprises and factories in these cities are also noted.

"Green Automobile Factory?" Reagan was puzzled.

"Repaint." Augustus tapped on his power armor: "Paint it into the dark blue of the sea dragon."

This is actually not difficult to understand, because after the Kymerians seized the power armor of the Tyrannian Federation, they also repainted it on the spot in their own car factory.

"You asked us to pretend to be Higeron?" Reagan was surprised by Augustus's adventure plan: "No, it's too dangerous."

"I knew you wouldn't agree." Augustus said: "Imagine the worst possibility. When we arrived there, Fort Howe had already fallen, and we could get in before the enemy completely controlled the fortress." Another possibility is that Warfield's men are still holding their ground, so we can attack from the rear and attack front and back."

"Using conventional tactics, our chances of winning are pitifully small. Only by breaking the rules can we achieve unexpected results. Opportunities always come with risks, and we must take this risk." He said: "I have already calculated, even if we It took nearly an hour to repaint at the car factory and should still be the first reinforcements to arrive."

At 44:[-] p.m., the armored personnel carrier in which Augustus arrived reached the oak forest.

Oak Forest was originally a small town built by loggers. Later, due to the establishment of the railway network, the town became more and more prosperous because it happened to be at the junction of the transportation network.Commercial areas, industrial areas and residential areas are also gradually divided, and a city full of vitality and forging ahead emerges.

When the third row arrived, most of the buildings in the city were in darkness, except for the police station, the maglev station and the city government, where the lights remained on.

Reagan and Augustus split into two groups, one way to find the second battalion station, and the other way to go to the Green Automobile Factory.

The Automobile Factory is right next to the Oakwood train station. Before the war, this station was a transfer station at Fort Howe-Odyssey-Western Crossroads, where twelve two-way lanes once converged.And now, this place has become a terminal.

The top of the station is a reinforced steel vault, and the artificial light source on the steel structure makes the station as bright as day.

At first, no one responded inside the high courtyard walls of the automobile factory, but under Augustus's order, Ward, the grenadier in his squad, immediately blew up the gate, and two squads of marines stepped on and broke into several pieces. The knotted iron fence stepped into the factory interior.

When a manager of the factory sneaked into the workshop with several security guards like hamsters running along the corner, Augustus' subordinates had already started to adjust the painting equipment with ease.In the boot camp, repainting or repainting his power armor is a compulsory course, and the real headache for Augustus is the Higeron's wing badge.

However, this problem was quickly resolved by Li Pachinyang, an automotive engineer who had worked at Wolf Industries in the class, and now we are waiting for Reagan to bring back good news or bad news.

When the manager of the factory cautiously asked what Augustus was here for, Augustus directly asked the other party to report a bank account that could be remitted, and no one had any doubts about it since then.

"I'm afraid we're going it alone. The 10nd Battalion isn't here. There's only one garrison company in Oak Grove, and they refuse to give up the city to help us." Ten minutes later, Reagan said on the comm channel: "I'll be right there. "

At eleven o'clock, a dark blue marine team came out of the factory, and their trucks were modified to fly the Ke Morian flag.Half an hour later, the convoy entered the highway and headed to Fort Howe. The snow had stopped at this time, but the road conditions were very poor. Augustus estimated that they would return to the fort in two hours.

At that time, they will disguise themselves as a Higoron squad coming to support.

　Thanks to Emperor Killing Demon Blade, Red-haired Yan Luo, Gallade, Donald John, Starry Night Sky, Liu Xitang's monthly pass, and thanks to Qianyu Zhisheng, DonaldJohn, for the reward.
