StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 22 Kemorian Assault Cavalry
While resending the location coordinates and waiting for a reply from the command center, Augustus sent four soldiers carrying communication equipment and binoculars to the two entrances and exits in the east-west direction of the train tracks. — One of the backpacks Harnack brought out from the cargo compartment was filled with a radio walkie-talkie, and the other contained a high-power telescope.

The sentry station was chosen in advance by Augustus and Renault. It was located between the steel frame, street lamps and metal garbage, and it was concealed enough.

However, before Augustus could rest for a long time, a few minutes later, the sentinel on the side of the platform sent back bad news: a Kel Morian army in a light reconnaissance vehicle was approaching rapidly, and the dead man's head flying on the vehicle The banner identifies them as the Kel-Morian Shock Troopers, the infamous Wasteland Wolves.

"How far are they from you? Can you count how many cars there are?" Augustus asked the sentry he sent out, which was a soldier from the second squad of recruits.

"I don't know, maybe two thousand yards, they have four scout vehicles or more." The sentry spoke very fast, Augustus knew that he was very nervous now, even so, the soldier was still sticking to his post , Waiting for the order to evacuate the post.

"Did they slow down?" Augustus asked.

"I think...they haven't, they might still be accelerating," the Sentinel replied.

"Evacuate there, take everything away, and don't leave anything behind." Augustus ordered: "Be careful when evacuating, and don't let the Kymerians find out."

"Yes, sir," replied the sentinel.

Previously, Augustus arranged everyone in the same empty waiting hall with a U-shaped corridor. During this period, he also appointed the temporary squad leaders of the second to fourth squads of recruits.

"Assembly! A detachment of the enemy's assault cavalry is approaching, they will not exceed 20 men. Take up arms and report to your squad leader!" Augustus entered the hall and said.

"What a hell." Renault's eyes widened.The most terrible thing now is that these recruits have just walked out of the boot camp, and they don't have power armor on them.

The other soldiers had the same expressions. They never expected that their first battle would be the veteran Kel Morian troops.Having said that, apart from the fear of the first real combat with the enemy, the recruits did not despair.

The Kel Morian assault cavalry is mainly active on the planet Reading III. They do not belong to the traditional army, nor do they belong to the marine corps or fleet, but a real "cavalry force".

The assault cavalry fought on the fastest reconnaissance vehicle in Kel-Morian, and would often raid the outposts and settlements of the Tyrann Federation on the savannah of Reading III at a ghostly speed, and then retreat at the same speed.

Although in all the records of the Tyrann Federation, the assault cavalry is not a unit that excels in frontal assaults and fortified battles, and they are by no means the most feared by the Federation army among the Kelmorian regular army, but the assault cavalry is definitely the most feared by the Federation commander. Headache.Assault cavalry never participate in large-scale legion battles, only perform reconnaissance and sabotage tasks, come and go without a trace, as smooth as "loach".

It is rumored that some of the assault cavalry on Reading III will also take over the work of mercenaries in their private capacity. When the salary is not enough, they will also become colonial robbers or interstellar pirates.

The almost pervasive assault cavalry often appeared in the rear of the federal defense line, becoming a nightmare for logistics units, artillery units and hospitals.The instructor who explained the unit to the recruits dismissively called it a buzzing fly on a corpse, a maggot on a dead man.

One shot to death, but disgusting.

The instructors have been instilling this point in the recruits, that is, although the assault cavalry is notorious, its combat effectiveness is not very high, and it is not invincible.

"Are those bastards coming towards us?" Raynor reloaded an E-9 electromagnetic rifle.

"I don't know, but judging from their driving direction, they must pass by the base station where we are." Augustus said.

"Why are we so unlucky." Omo said the voice of Augustus.

At this time, everyone has assembled. In addition to leaving two people to take care of the wounded, Augustus currently has 38 people to dispatch.

"I remember Instructor Tavis said that a small detachment of Kel Morian assault cavalry usually does not have too many people. In order to increase speed, they will not wear heavy power armor, nor can they carry heavy weapons." Augustus said: "Shocking cavalry are not good at dealing with tough battles and encounters, and I believe they lack the courage and determination to fight to the death."

Augustus already had a plan in mind.If they wanted to escape now, they definitely couldn't escape, and with the combat style of assault cavalry, they would never take the initiative to attack unless they were in an absolute superiority of troops.The best and most likely scenario is that they may not even know that a transport ship full of Tyranid soldiers has been forced to land here.

The recruits had plenty of weapons and enough manpower. With the help of the height difference between the platform and the track, they could just engage in a condescending ambush, and perhaps be able to catch the assault cavalry by surprise.

"This is the order. The first team is deployed on the left platform, the third team is on the right platform, the second team is the reserve team for the first team, and the fourth team is the reserve team for the third team. Build a bunker on the edge of the platform." Augustus' order was concise and clear.

"Once they drive into the high tower base station, listen to my password and open fire immediately."

The soldiers immediately went into action, following Augustus' orders exactly and without delay.At this time, several sentinels sent by Augustus have also returned, and they brought back even worse news.Needless to say, Augustus has also heard the sound of the speeding engine of the reconnaissance car.

Augustus and Renault immediately ran into the bunker of No. [-] squad, took out a military binoculars that Harnack found in the transport plane, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Four Camerian reconnaissance vehicles had already entered his field of vision. These reconnaissance vehicles were all four-wheeled vehicles that stuck to the ground rather than suspension vehicles, and looked very similar to jeeps.The coating of the reconnaissance vehicle is a dark camouflage that is close to the ruins of the city. Apart from the KM logo representing the Kelmorian Federation, there is also a thin, shriveled, dead head with bones on the flag flying high.

The deep-set eye sockets of the dead man's head are dotted with red paint, and the background color of the flag is dark blue, which symbolizes the atmosphere of Moria that has become cloudy due to high industrialization.

Augustus's heart skipped a beat. There was a truck behind these reconnaissance vehicles. He couldn't be sure whether it was a troop carrier or an ordinary truck, because it was obviously modified by the assault cavalry using a civilian large-tonnage truck.

The assault cavalry seemed unaware that a group of heavily armed Tyrannian Federation soldiers were waiting for them, showing no signs of slowing down. If there were no accidents, they should be able to pass through the base station within a minute or two.Augustus estimated that the scout cars were no more than 2 yards from the base station's entrance.

At this time, Augustus raised his right hand in a silent gesture, and then he took an E-9 rifle from Renault.The anti-touch safety has been activated, and he immediately enters a state of focused aiming.

The first reconnaissance vehicle roared into the base station, with a light cannon mounted on it, and an assault cavalryman wearing black goggles and painted face stood on a raised seat and stared suspiciously. The sudden appearance of the bunker.The next moment, before the assault cavalry could cry out in alarm, Augustus had already fired.

"Fire!" The butt of the gun hit Augustus heavily on the shoulder.

Dozens of electromagnetic rifles and shotguns opened fire at the same time, and the flames of red gold flooded the first assault cavalry reconnaissance vehicle. The assault cavalry with the cannon was hit by dozens of bullets and was torn into a pile of rotten meat by steel nails and shotguns.

The assault cavalry who was driving was also hit, and the unarmored reconnaissance vehicle became riddled with holes in an instant, spinning crazily and stopped in the middle of the road.

The reconnaissance car behind turned sharply, but hit the baffle next to the train track while evading, and the cars behind all hurriedly stopped and started to fight back, but at this time several classes had already formed a condescending intersection. The firepower network has almost no dead ends.

These assault cavalry became live targets in a blink of an eye, and the recruits lacked combat experience after all. They continued to shoot for tens of seconds until all the bullets in the magazines were exhausted.Even Augustus's yelling did not help, his voice was completely drowned out by the gunfire.

By the time the recruits came to their senses, the assault cavalry had been smashed to pieces, as simple as shooting training in a boot camp.

Even Augustus was amazed at their great success, which even in his view was a forced counterattack in self-defense.In order to escape the fate of being massacred by the Kel-Morians in order to protect himself, he had to command the recruits with no combat experience to fight first.
