StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

As Reagan said, one week after the offensive preparation order was issued at the Pork Pride Battle Command Post, in early July, the Fourth Brigade of the 33rd Ground Assault Division, where Augustus was located, officially set off.

Augustus was only a corporal and was not qualified to know more details about the battle. Even platoon leader Reagan was told that he could only understand the part of the Attack Order of June 23, 2488 that related to his own troops.

That is: Arcturus Mengsk's 2nd and 4th Brigades of the 33rd Ground Assault Division set out from the lower city of Polk's Pride seven days later (at 1 a.m. on July 1).

Cross the river from the ferry in Yesha Town, 20 miles away from Pork Pride on the lower reaches of the Padick River, and detour to the Valinor area, a town in the eastern part of the Pork Pride city area under the actual control of Kemerian, at one o'clock in the morning on the second day (July 2) Attack. The 7th and 8th Avengers Wings of Alpha Squadron and the 1st Bomb Wing will provide fire support to the attack force.

In the early morning of July 1st, Augustus and his squad had already put on power armor and were ready to go. Because there were not enough vehicles, the Fourth Brigade and its brother brigades had to march quickly and walk to the ferry at Yesha Town.

Augustus's squad, wearing CMC power armor, lined up in four columns and followed the third platoon leader Reagan on a dusty dirt road. In front of them is the fourth class of the second row, and behind them is the second class of the third row. The distance between the several classes is about 40 yards. The sound of the power boots on the ground was like a dull drum, like the sound made by a metal giant sprinting across the ground.

No matter when Augustus looked forward or backward, he could see the endless ups and downs of the helmet and the shoulders with the wolf head emblem. A silver-gray torrent was moving at an average speed of 5 miles per hour. Advancing tirelessly on the dark green land of Turasis.

At this time, Augustus couldn't help but think that if a ground assault division with a number of 20,000 to 30,000 was equipped with power armor, the military expenditure paid by the Tyranid Federation would be unimaginable to him.

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

As Augustus and others were running, large trailers and self-propelled artillery vehicles carrying arc tanks and Goliath armed robots rumbled by from time to time. Whenever a trailer full of tanks and walking mechas passes by the soldiers, the tank crews and mecha pilots above will wave to the soldiers.

At the same time, there is an Avengers fleet of about forty-five fighter jets in the sky at all times to escort the advancing army.

As he followed his troops forward, Augustus kept thinking about what the other parts of the offensive order should be. Judging from the mobilization of the 2nd and 4th brigades, it was obvious that the High Command did not stick to attacking from the front of the Padik River, but chose to attack from the flanks of Kemorian's control of Bok's Pride.

But the troops that circled back to the flanks were obviously more than just these two brigades. Such mobilization was obviously huge, and it was impossible for Kemorian not to notice the large-scale mobilization of federal troops. If the purpose of the Supreme Command is to have these troops launch a surprise attack, it probably won't have much effect.

Unless these Camorians are blind and deaf.

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

The communication channel in Augustus' class came from exclamations filled with swear words. 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 noise, the huge fireball fell into the jungle far away from the army.

It seems that the battle in Turasis' synchronized orbit has come to an end.

When the vanguard of the 4th Brigade and the 2nd Battalion in the middle had arrived at the town of Yesha and crossed the Padik River through the ferry to the other side, the Camorian reconnaissance plane arrived belatedly. When Augustus's squad stepped onto the land on the north bank of the Padick River on an open-top steamer converted from a civilian ship, the reconnaissance plane had already been driven away by the Federation's Avengers fighter jets.

The width of this section of the river at the crossing of Yesha Town is narrower than the section that flows through the center of Pork Pride. On the other side of the river is an undeveloped land, and the height of the wormwood is even higher than that of a person wearing power armor. of Augustus' knees.

The waterlogged wormwood on the river bank was very slippery, and Augustus had to turn on the hook-shaped telescopic nails on his power boots to nail himself into the soil to prevent him from slipping and rolling into the river.

Before the fifth battalion, an unlucky guy from the third battalion fell over on the river bank and fell into the Paddick River. Now a dozen local fishermen were fishing for him in boats.

Not only that, 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 Padick River, the battalions of the 4th Brigade continued to advance north. The green vegetation on the north shore is more dense than that on the south shore, and the Marines sometimes have to advance through jungles as high as one person. Fortunately, when wearing power armor, each of them is a giant taller than ordinary people, so they will not lose track of the people in front of them.

At this time, the sun had just risen into the sky, and sporadic gunshots were heard in the distance from time to time. Augustus estimated that the vanguard troops had collided with Kemorian's scout troops.

Augustus has never seen even a single Camorian here. He always pays attention to the sky and his feet, and is wary of landmines and sudden appearance of bombers. But so far, so good.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that day that Augustus's fifth battalion walked out of the jungle. Outside the jungle was an undulating open land, and the vague shadows of some houses could be seen in the distance.

In the northeast of the jungle, which is the two o'clock direction of Augustus's position, there are several highlands connected by trenches. Near the highlands is a small village with more than a dozen wooden houses. Burning.

As soon as Augustus stepped out of the jungle, the vanguard of the army came into battle with a Camerion army. There was a Camorian artillery position at ten o'clock, and cannonballs whizzed past the heads of Augustus and others.

One of the rounds landed not far to the right of Augustus. A pillar of mud, made of grass roots and shrapnel, rose from the ground like a fountain. Large chunks of mud fell within a hundred yards. The result was a crater about 20 to 26 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep.

The shock wave almost knocked Augustus, who was wearing power armor, to the ground. Some of the reflected shrapnel struck his belly armor and shoulder armor, creating dents one finger deep.

The squads where the shells hit 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 level communication channel.

Our target is the Z-103 heights at two o'clock. Platoon leader Reagan shouted on the communication channel.

Run and shoot!
