StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Thousands of feet above Pork's Pride, the Kaimorian Cerberus fleet and the Tyranid Federation's Avengers launched a brutal aerial battle. In the central city, anti-aircraft towers and anti-aircraft guns roared. The city was burning, flames rising into the sky, lighting up the night sky.

Augustus and the soldiers in his squad followed an AVV arc tank as they ran and fired, praying that the electromagnetic shells from the Camorion guild-style large-caliber mortars would not fall on themselves and their comrades. .

According to the offensive deployment, the ten battalions of the 2nd and 4th brigades will be divided into three groups to launch an attack from the east of Bok's Pride, while the 5th battalion where Augustus is located will go straight from the center to penetrate the enemy. The heart of the city.

Each squad is far apart and scattered on a front of seven to eight hundred yards wide. In front of them is a resocialization company charging at full speed, behind them are three companies of the resocialization battalion, and behind them are Other companies of the 5th Battalion.

In the light of the rising flares one after another, Augustus was getting closer and closer to the position constructed by the Camorians at the entrance of the city relying on sandbags, steel plates, electrified wire fences and bunkers, which was obviously just The enemy's first line of defense.

Augustus stepped over the bodies of the resocialized soldiers lying on the ground one after another until he could already see the flash of electromagnetic gun fire from the enemy position.

About a thousand yards in front of Augustus, there was a Kemerian hemispheric bunker that had been destroyed by arc tank shells. The position piled high with sandbags and scrap metal had already been blown to pieces.

Even so, the Kaimorian soldiers still stood their ground, using their various but powerful weapons to fight back against the charging Federation troops. They used laser drills in the mines and everything else they could find in the mines and guilds. Dangerous items have been moved to the front lines.

Augustus had to admit that the Camorians, who grew up in highly competitive guilds, had a much stronger fighting spirit than many of the federal soldiers who had been drafted into the army. They are born warriors and are willing to sacrifice everything for the glory of their guild and their family.

The Arc Tank continued to advance, its turret rotating and firing continuously towards the Kemerian position. The Goliath armed robots beside Augustus also opened fire. These twelve-foot-tall bipedal walking mechas were like steel giants. The stainless steel shields reflected a cold iron-gray light under the illumination of the searchlight.

The 30mm automatic cannons equipped on the double arms of the Goliath mecha rotated and fired thousands of rounds in a few seconds until the barrels turned red.

Immediately afterwards, the missile bay on the shoulder of the Goliath armed robot rotated and opened, launching a series of ground-attack missiles. The fierce firepower opened one gap after another in the Camorian position.

Augustus and his squad followed the tank closely throughout, letting bullets whizz past his head. Although Warfield's 1st Company was the first to attack, under the orders of the company commander, they maintained speed and advanced in sync with the tanks.

A few minutes have passed since entering the charging distance. During this period, a shell landed on the armor of the tank, but was immediately bounced off by the armor. Another shell landed next to Augustus, but it failed to hurt him. .

Augustus always maintained restraint and calmness. He moved forward steadily and shot towards the bright spot.

The soldiers of the first squad were scattered not far away, with a distance of twenty yards between each one. The closest to Augustus were Rick, the sniper of the first fire team, and Benjamin, who was holding the Honey Whisperer heavy machine gun. .

After the first company slowed down, the re-socialized soldiers who were still charging at full speed passed the steadily advancing first company one after another. The resocialized soldiers did not have the wolf head insignia of the 33rd Ground Assault Division on their power armor and visors, so Augustus could still tell the difference between them and normal soldiers.

There is no doubt that once the commander gives the order to attack, these resocialized soldiers will always charge forward, even knowing that they are going to plunge into hell.

Squad after squad of resocialized soldiers were felled by Camorian fire and bullets in front of Augustus, but more and more resocialized soldiers rushed forward. They charged like robots running according to a fixed program, as if they were born to only know how to move forward.

After leaving behind more than a hundred corpses, the resocialized soldiers ascended the Caymorian positions at the entrance to the city. But after this they did not stop, but continued to advance at the same speed, and soon disappeared into the distance as far as Augustus could see.

The Caymorians' artillery positions finally fell silent, apparently retreating. At this time, Warfield's First Company was still nearly two hundred yards away from its position.

Keep moving forward, keep your distance from each other, and follow the arc tank. Warfield said on the commander's channel.

Warfield and his orderlies charged forward. The lieutenant in silver-gray power armor was the first to step onto the enemy's position, followed closely by the first and fourth platoons.

After them, the arc light tank in front of Augustus accelerated directly and drove through the makeshift position built by the Camorians with sandbags, crushing the bloody corpses on the ground and entering the city through the road full of craters.

But the war didn't end there. Augustus realized that the battle in the urban area was probably the most brutal stage.

Given the fighting spirit of these Kaimorian soldiers, they would likely have to engage in brutal street battles, fighting for the city street by street, building by building, and house by house.

Fortunately, compared with the huge area of ​​​​the city, Kemorian's garrison only has 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and most of the troops were previously stationed on the north bank of the Padick River, the boundary river in the city center.

When Augustus followed the tank into the urban area lined with tall buildings, it was already dawn and the sky was still covered with dark clouds.

From time to time, a Cerberus or Avenger fighter jet turned into a falling bright point of light in the sky. Several fighter jets with black smoke coming from their wings inserted into the skyscraper like a sharp sword falling from a high altitude, or crashed into it and turned into a skyscraper. into a ball of flame.

In the eyes of Augustus and others, the city seemed gray. The streets were lined with burning Kemerian chariots, all the windows and doors of the houses were locked, and the window glass of the shops on the ground floor of the commercial district was all broken. Merchandise, tables and chairs were burned in the flames, and the walls were darkened.

The streets were darkened by the weather, and the rain had begun to fall, a steady patter.

Gunshots came from behind other blocks and buildings from time to time. Only an IAA holographic projection advertising robot powered by solar cells was still active in this city that had been abandoned for several years.

This small robot with a plastic shell was only two feet tall. It walked up to Augustus on two rusty wheels. The holographic projection on its forehead monotonously switched between advertisements for maglev bicycles and goddess statue attractions.

Sir, welcome to the beautiful Bok Pride. I will only take you a few seconds. Please allow me to introduce to you the Terra No. 55 commercial magnetic suspension motorcycle——

Before the IAA robot could finish speaking, it was kicked away by Benjamin, the heavy machine gunner next to Augustus, because none of them could determine whether the insidious Camorians were installed in the robot's small body. A time bomb.
