StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 56 Alpha Squadron

For nearly a second, the soldiers of the Higoron Legion who were turning their heads to look at Augustus were taken aback.The other, more soldiers who were still shooting at the hangar didn't notice any difference in the gunshot, until there was a lot of gunfire around them, and they didn't look behind until their brothers started roaring.

For a moment, the soldiers of the Haigelong Legion who were at a loss did not know where the enemy came from.It was late at night, and the lights and shadows were intertwined, and they were all marines painted in dark blue. It looked like someone among them had gone crazy and was trying to kill everyone regardless of whether they were friends or foes.

They watched blankly as a Higoron soldier with a heavy machine gun shot at his brother's mask at close range until he smashed his helmet.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"They betrayed Hai Gelong!"

"Who should we shoot at?"

The enemy is all around them.The channels of the Haigelongs were in chaos. In just ten seconds, blood flowed in front of the bunker of the third line of defense.

"They don't have numbers on their shoulders." It wasn't until more than [-] Higoron Legionnaires lay down on the ground that someone noticed the difference between Augustus and the others.

But it’s not daytime now. If you want to confirm, you must use the searchlight on the Gauss rifle or other light sources for illumination. Often they will be knocked down by the grenades from behind before they can see whether they are friends or foes.

The battle took place between lightning and flint, and the first solution that the Higorons thought of was to launch flares instead of changing the recognition mode of the power armor.This makes too many of their brothers down by the time the first flares are fired into the air.

In the midst of the chaos, the HUD display on the Augustus mask can clearly indicate friend and foe.The built-in computer inside his power armor can send an inquiry signal to other armors in the platoon through the communication system. After receiving the response signal, it will immediately recognize the power armor as a friendly army, and recognize the marines wearing these power armor Marked in red.

Augustus held the Gauss rifle in his hand and fired at a Higoron soldier who was rushing towards him, while Raynor fought side by side with him back to back.

The soldier in front of him was tall, and his modified power armor was comparable to a larger firebat armor, but one of his hands had been blown off by an electromagnetic grenade, and the remaining hand only had an old-fashioned runner pistol.

In silence, Augustus aimed at the opponent's helmet and shot. The laser rangefinder on the electromagnetic rifle showed that the enemy was approaching him as quickly as a mad bull.

Suddenly, a spike rebounded upward after hitting the breastplate, drilled in from the seam between the helmet and the breastplate, and pierced the soldier's head from the bottom up from the chin.

As Augustus turned the other way, he saw Ward's missile hit a Higoron soldier, smashing him to pieces.

At this time, Warfield's federal soldiers were late, and the silver-gray marines jumped from the bunker next to Augustus.Lacking bullets, they fought hand-to-hand with Higoron soldiers, throwing each other to the ground, smashing the helmets of their enemies with fists, butts, and whatever weapons they could find.

Because the recognition mode was also changed, they didn't accidentally hit the friendly army.

"Augustus, I really didn't expect you to be the first to come." Warfield jumped off an armored vehicle.

"We came as soon as we got word, Captain." Augustus tossed a loaded rifle clip to Warfield.

"I heard you brought a battalion, boy, where are they now?" Warfield neatly changed the magazine, and with a crisp click, he asked Augustus.

"Each of these rascals I've brought in is one against ten," said Augustus.

"I didn't expect much." Warfield immediately shouted and ran to the other side, and four or five marines followed him closely.

"Thank God, we were saved." At this time, another marine jumped down and walked in front of Augustus.

Augustus remembered this voice, it was the acting Lieutenant Colonel Vanderspoop he had seen in the command center.

Vanderspoop's power armor is brand new and shiny, obviously well-maintained, with dedicated personnel daily maintenance, oiling and polishing.Augustus even doubted that if Vanderspoop had been attending a military parade instead of participating in a real battle, he would have covered his mighty and shining armor with medals and flowers.

"Lieutenant Colonel, the battle is not over yet. The armory, engineering station, command center...we still have many places to take back." Augustus reminded him.

"Now we have one battalion, and there will be more soon." Vanderspoop looked at Augustus dissatisfied. It was impossible to recognize Augustus by his voice alone.

"The battle is over."

"Those damned Haigelong people will pay the price in blood!" Vanderspout said sonorously.His words made no secret of his hatred for the Higoron Legion.

"..." Augustus said between changing magazines, "I think it is necessary for me to remind you that the battalion is still on its way."

If Augustus said he had brought a platoon, Warfield would have told him to leave immediately.

If he had brought a battalion of reinforcements, the result would have been very different. The remaining Union soldiers would have sworn to hold their ground for the coming dawn, and Augustus' troops would not have plunged headlong into an already-defunct army. The position is in danger.

"How far are they going to arrive?" Vanderspoop's expression full of anger and hatred under the mask suddenly vented, and he looked in the direction he came from, as if he wanted to go back to the hangar.

"any time."

Augustus turned around and left after finishing speaking. He wanted to return to his troops immediately, and had no time to chat with Vanderspout.

At four o'clock in the morning, Augustus and Warfield's troops wiped out a Higoron Legion assault unit and regained the parking platform, but compared to the entire Fort Howe, this is really a drop in the bucket.

At four forty in the morning, the good news finally came.

The Alpha Squadron staying in the Turasis synchronous orbit sent several assault ships, and the transport ship that landed on the parking platform brought two companies of airborne troops.

Alpha Squadron is a force clad in white power armor known as the Blood Eagles by the Kel-Morians and their Tyranid brethren.Throughout the Federation military system, Alpha Squadron is known for their savage charges and relentless ferocity.

Leading the force was Major Edmund Duke of Alpha Squadron, whom Augustus and Warfield met on the landing platform.
