It didn't take long before the torpedoes left behind the messy fighter jets, trailers and various supplies.
Soshyan hesitated to activate the retro rocket manually.
Normally, this system is used to maintain the stability of the cabin and reduce the impact in a collision.
However, Soshyan found that the strong friction caused by the "close contact" between the torpedo and the interior of the battleship was enough to stop this thing.
Soldiers in the torpedo room could feel the explosion of the damaged lander coming through the deck below.
Through the surviving camera, Soshyan saw that the fuel leaking from the damaged fuel container was on fire, and black smoke enveloped the flight deck in a mess.
The alarm is loud, and greenskins from other areas are being called in for support.
The green-skinned mechanics who had been knocked over by the impact had already gotten up one after another, holding on to their broken tools. Blood was splattered on the floor and on their hooded uniforms.
These greenskins look very tough.
"Get ready to open the hatch."
Under Soshyan's finger, with a heavy banging sound, the pressure valve opened.
At the same time, the buffer brackets restraining everyone were also unlocked, allowing the soldiers to leave quickly.
In this operation, except Lothar, everyone participated, even the technical sergeants were included.
As the bodies of damaged fighter jets, mechanics, and grunts lay all over the launch port, armored Greenskin Repulse Gang troops emerged from behind the blast doors.
As they ran, they pressed large-caliber bullets into the barrels of their guns.
In order to repel the invaders, the greenskins concentrated in the direction of the jumping gang, using bullets fired from various firearms to hammer the torpedo cabin and the opening door.
"I'll go first."
Soshyan jumped out of the hatch first, and with a hissing sound of submolecule transformation, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger of the plasma pistol that had been brewing for a long time.
Immediately, an energy ball like a blue sun flew across the flight deck, leaving a blazing trail.
Its impact was devastating, and the plasma ball passed through the panicked green-skinned mechanics, turning them into minced flesh.
The clothes on those who were too close caught fire under the influence of heat, making their screams even longer.
"Clear the enemy and advance quickly."
"receive."
The soldiers responded and jumped out of the hatch one after another, their silver-gray robes being blown up by the wind when they landed.
As soon as the Space Marines landed, they began fighting to push back the greenskin offensive.
During this process, Soshyan's plasma pistol quickly shot out plasma spheres one after another.
They flew across the deck, hitting their targets with pinpoint precision, burning the greenskins in flak armor to a pulp.
But after the tenth shot, Soshyan had to hang it back on his thigh - the consequences of overheating of the plasma weapon would be devastating, and Soshyan was not going to let himself become a stupid victim.
I have to admit that the carrying capacity of the green-skinned battleship is indeed extraordinary. In just a short time, a large number of defenders gathered on the flight deck trying to eliminate the enemies who jumped into the gang.
While roaring crazily, they held their fingers firmly on the trigger and shot in any direction where the enemy might be. Many of their kind were killed by their own ammunition in this way, but there was no doubt that a dense wave of fire was formed.
Rain of bullets.
"Shield!"
Soshyan shouted into the communicator, and then twenty soldiers stepped forward and put the Tiaobang shields together. The edges of the shields were closely connected to form an uninterrupted plastic steel wall.
The Tiaobang Shield is a large shield made of ceramite and plastic steel, similar to smaller combat shields
, some models also have a small force field generator built into them.
During the Great Crusade, Space Marines usually used this type of shield for gang fighting or
It is a siege operation. These bulky shields are also the favorite of assault troops. They are usually used by legion siege teams.
use.
Elite units of certain legions also use this equipment, such as the Victory Army of the Ultramarines.
The jump shield seems to be a bulky version of the combat shield. Although the effect of the jump shield is far less powerful than the storm shield developed later, its huge size can fully protect the user and absorb enemy firepower.
straight
hit.
During the Horus Heresy, battle shields and jump shields were also improved to provide more protection in close combat.
Because of this, even long after the Storm Shield was put into use, the Jump Shield remained an important part of the legion's arsenal.
After the second founding of the army, due to changes in the battle group structure, professional large-scale gang-hopping troops withdrew from the stage of history and were replaced by Terminator companies. The more flexible Storm Shield also took its place, and gang-hopping shields also became more popular.
Most battle groups have disappeared from their armories. Only some founding groups and older battle groups still retain this series of equipment, but the frequency of use is not high.
When Space Marines use jump shields, they usually use them when the warriors tear open the first crack in the enemy's ship. They are used to withstand the surging firepower of the opponent's troops so that subsequent troops can jump into the ship.
When used in siege operations, such as when rushing into the enemy's static defensive bunker for the first time, there will also be a jumping shield on the front line.
In order to ensure the success of this operation, Soshyan specially transferred these gang-hopping shields from the armory. In addition, there is Thor, a veteran of the Great Expedition era, in the battle group. The soldiers are also very fortunate to know how to do this.
Use of jump shields and tactics related to them.
As early as a week ago, the war group conducted training on the use of jump shields very predictably.
The temporary steel wall has complete firepower, strict discipline and indomitable fighting spirit.
Attacks continued to hit the surface of the shield wall, but could not shake it at all. Soshyan switched to his optical vision to observe the situation in front of the shield, and saw large groups of green skins pouring out from various gates.
Even though they were suddenly attacked, the greenskins still maintained considerable counterattack power.
Soshyan looked to the left, and Sol on the side was shooting forward.
If he felt something, he stopped and looked at Soshyan.
"We have to move."
He directly said what Soshyan wanted to say.
The enemy's current firepower is not enough to eliminate them, but it can pin them here.
Staying still, after the greenskins gradually weaken them, they will use heavy weapons to break the shield wall - this is inevitable.
If Soshyan were the opponent, he would do the same.
"Rogris, look for the power distribution center here."
Soshyan turned to look at the technical sergeant, who immediately nodded, straightened his waist, and glanced around.
"Let me take a look...the wall at the far end. According to the normal power supply system, they have to transfer energy to some non-critical systems...it seems that there is a heat signal there."
Soshyan did not rush the other party because he knew that only Rogris here had sufficient knowledge of various systems.
After roughly confirming the location, Roglis raised his gun - this was his unique electromagnetic pulse rifle, which can generate a powerful electron flow when hitting a target, and can overload most servers.
He aimed the eyepiece at the scope and fired a series of bullets.
Those bullets passed through the green skins that were coming up, and then accurately hit a piece of equipment that didn't look like anything special.
The next second, the distribution center emitted bright flashes and sparks when it was overloaded.
Due to the sudden loss of power, the thick explosion-proof door fell heavily, killing a bunch of greenskins and also dividing the head area of the flight deck.
The upper partition fell down with a loud noise, blocking the mechanics and goons who came from the weapons deck to support on the other side.
The high-power lighting lamps all went dark after a brief flash, turning the huge flight deck into a dark and smoky place, with only a few stars outside bringing a glimmer of light.
Soshyan could feel the impact of the landing gear landing on the deck of the launch port and the heavy footsteps rushing to support in the darkness. The flames from the muzzle of the gun reflected the terrifying outlines of the big ferocious faces.
These greenskins are indeed tenacious enough and are still trying desperately to repel the invaders.
