Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"As for the transfer station, this is the only suitable place." [Skirmisher] Mox said. "But this place is too close to the enemy, and there can't be too few people defending it."

"If possible, just lead some of them away..." said a member of the resistance army.

"Leave some of them..." another member of the resistance army muttered. "What is there worth them reducing their defenses?"

Having said this, everyone looked back at the same time, which was the direction of the Avenger.

"We need to inform the commander and the quartermaster of this plan." [Death] Elena said. "This is not a good idea, but we have no choice but to give it a try."

"I hope everything goes well..."

42. Interference and rescue operations (V)

After a brief but intensive discussion, the quartermaster and the commander and others agreed to the plan.

By exposing the existence of the Avenger, the aliens were forced to split their forces so that three teams could go to possible places where people were temporarily detained to rescue them.

The whereabouts of the Avenger cannot be completely exposed, otherwise it may directly attract a large force including alien frigates. The best thing to do is to release vague intelligence and let them send out a small force to confirm first, and then follow up with follow-up forces after confirmation.

This is a risky move that can only be made when all the elders' satellites are destroyed. If the elders' satellites are still there, then they can confirm directly through the satellites.

Then, after part of the guard force has withdrawn, the three teams will jointly raid Town X and rescue as many ordinary people imprisoned there as possible, and after issuing a retreat signal, flee into the depths of the wilderness.

At that time, the area around the Avenger was most likely under attack, so it was not convenient to return directly.

The Avenger and its surrounding crew members who received the retreat signal would retreat immediately, and allow Zhang Yi and others to directly carry out large-scale orbital bombing.

As for those who have been taken to the alien camps, there is nothing they can do...

. . . . . .

12 hours after the mission begins

8:00pm, night falls

Several alien airships passed by and flew away into the distance.

And below that, the three teams, [Avengers Team], [Homecoming Team], and [Psychic Team] were advancing towards Town X under the cover of night.

On the Avengers side, reinforcements from various factions have all arrived and have begun to build defense lines and confirm retreat routes.

They need to reach the destination as quickly as possible and be ready to rush in to rescue people at any time.

The Space Marine Harald, who came as a reinforcement, walked in front without saying a word. Behind him were the Mutant Dick and a heavily armored XCOM soldier.

The destination is still several kilometers away, which is not an easy task for this small team.

But they have to do it...

At this moment, a fire suddenly appeared in the distance at the location of the small village that had been discovered.

Everyone stopped immediately and the scouts went forward to investigate.

"They seem to be 'clearing the countryside'." said the first scout to come back.

The Purifier, who belongs to the alien side, is using his flamethrower to wipe out everything in this village.

The flames started and gradually engulfed the houses that may have taken generations to build or been inhabited by generations, reducing everything inside to ashes.

Obviously, the previous rescue operation had been discovered. Although they did not know the scale of the enemy, clearing out these houses that they had not originally intended to take care of would prevent the enemy from repairing or hiding here.

The Purifiers, transformed from humans, carried out their tasks efficiently and quickly, and without mercy, watching everything in front of them turn to ashes.

"These inhuman bastards!" a rebel shouted angrily.

Most people in the team were indignant at their behavior, but felt helpless.

Their mission now does not allow them to cause more trouble.

"It may not be just a nuisance." Harald said suddenly. "Since there are troops going out, the vehicles they said they were riding in must also be recorded."

"The previous vehicles should have been recorded as damaged or missing because they were out of service for too long, so we can't use them to continue our journey."

"But these vehicles can." [Scattered Soldier] Mox continued. "As long as we can kill these enemies as quickly as possible and prevent them from sending signals, we can use the time difference of the aliens confirming the vehicle's situation and use their vehicles to quickly pass through the enemy-occupied area and reach the vicinity of our destination when the elders' psychic network is unstable now."

"What are you waiting for?" said [Death] Elena. "Let me teach these alien bastards a lesson!"

． ． ． A few dozen minutes later...

The purifiers' work has come to an end, and all the houses in this area have either been reduced to ashes or are burning fiercely.

A squad of mutants was patrolling as a guard force, and the raging fire nearby made the surrounding darkness seem even deeper.

Hiding in the darkness, [Death] Elena and several snipers are confirming their targets.

In order for the plan to proceed smoothly, they must try their best to eliminate these enemies in batches without alerting others.

If they alerted any of the enemies and caused them to send a signal, their plan would fail.

"Everyone, listen to my instructions..." Elena held her breath and said to the snipers around her. "Confirm your targets again and get ready...fire!"

Sniper rifles with silencers and Victor rifles opened fire at the same time, and several soldiers in the escort force separated from the Purifier troops were knocked down at the same time.

And an XCOM [Ranger] covered the mouth of an extra mutant soldier while his own sniper opened fire, and the blade in his hand repeatedly pierced his body.

The team members who were hiding around appeared one after another, dragged the fallen body into the darkness and hid it.

"Next set of targets."

Following the same procedure, the Purifier team that came to check did not find anything wrong, and then they followed the previous team's steps.

When the last enemy squad was silently annihilated, the most difficult step of the plan was completed without any danger.

The three teams found the parked vehicle at the entrance of the village that had been reduced to ashes, and the code was cracked by the accompanying [Expert].

However, they encountered a new problem...

Although the real alien transporter is not as small as the one in the game, but...

Space Marine Harald - more than 2 meters tall, Mutant Dick - nearly 2 meters tall...

Although Harald said that he could follow the convoy, it was still a bit difficult to run with only three cars for so many people.

"Let's squeeze in?" suggested a rebel soldier.

Now, there is no other way except to squeeze in. . .

It's really crowded...

Nearby Avenger

Outpost

As an outpost to attract firepower, a large number of simple fortifications have now been built to prepare for dealing with enemies that may arrive at any time.

The commander and the quartermaster's plan was to pass on the message step by step, preferably allowing the elders to gradually send out enemies of different numbers and strengths at their own pace, so that they could delay the rescue operation as long as possible.

At this moment, not far from the outpost, three teams of mutant soldiers had landed from the airship and were heading towards the outpost.

But they didn't know that as soon as they arrived, they had been discovered by patrolling rebel soldiers.

There are many climbable rocks, large cacti and drought-resistant plants near the outpost, and it is obvious that the mutant soldiers who passed by these things did not carefully check them.

Pong! Pong! Pong!

The sound of grenades being fired from grenade launchers rang out all around, and three explosive grenades flew out from the tall rocks and landed in the three teams.

"!"

Seeing this, the mutant captain immediately shouted to other members in meaningless words, but the next second, an explosion occurred.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The flames of the explosion immediately engulfed the three careless alien teams, followed by gunshots.

Da da da da da!

The three teams paid the price for their careless behavior. In almost an instant, they were almost wiped out.

The mutant soldier, whose leg was broken by the explosion, crawled on the ground with difficulty, but was soon blocked by a pair of feet.

"Go to hell! Alien bastard!"

boom!

In just thirty seconds, the battle was over, and all three teams were wiped out in an ambush by the rebel forces.

But the message has been passed on, and soon more elite alien troops will arrive here.

At that time, could the battle still be so smooth?

We have no way of knowing...

43. Interference and rescue operations (VI)

Biubiubiu!

boom! boom! boom!

Whoosh—Boom!

Once again, the enemy's second force was completely wiped out.

Although several armored MECs joined this time, the rebels who had prepared anti-armor weapons in advance still defeated this force.

However, this time there were casualties.

A rebel fighter was hit by a large magnetic rifle in the hands of the MEC and died on the spot.

At this stage, the troops sent by the enemy are still within expectations, but as time goes by, the strength of the enemy's next troops will become more and more difficult to predict, and our casualties will also be expected to increase.

"Boss, it's almost done. Let XCOM come over now..."

"It's not enough!" said the rebel fighter known as the boss. "We can still take on another wave, and then let XCOM enter the battlefield..."

"This is the only way to delay the time as long as possible."

According to the plan, the existing resistance fighters will come forward to make the enemy think that there are only a few stubborn resistance forces nearby at most.

When they can't hold on any longer, XCOM's troops will come out. Their richer combat experience and weapons and equipment can deal with enemies that the resistance forces can't deal with. Of course, the enemies will be stronger at that time, and they will also doubt whether the Avengers is nearby.

More enemies will be sent out at that time, and when they can no longer hold on, it will be time for the small number of Star Army troops to come out to support them, and at this time, it will be time to consider retreating.

The appearance of the Astra Militarum will certainly stir the nerves of the alien forces, and then a large number of high-intensity alien soldiers may appear.

I hope that by that time, the three teams will have completed their mission...

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

18 hours after the mission begins

4:00am, early morning

Three alien medium-sized transport vehicles were driving in the wilderness, and this golden-armored giant followed the convoy.

It has to be said that the plan was very successful, because the news of the attack was not spread, and their bodies were not found for a while. All three transport vehicles, which were friendly forces in the alien records, passed through the enemy-occupied area unimpeded.

Except for the checkpoints that needed to be bypassed, neither the airships in the sky nor the patrolling UFOs attacked them.

You said a giant running in the desert is conspicuous? But did you ignore the fact that the Space Marines, with their super vision and perception, could see the alien air forces coming from afar quite early and hide in advance?

Anyway, after getting close enough to their destination, Town X, the three transport trucks left the main road and eventually stopped in a hidden woods.

thump!

As soon as the car stopped, all the people crowded in the trunk fell out at once.

"I'm falling apart..."

"I began to envy Eva (the serpent monster) and Atang (the gray man)..."

"Isn't it? A bamboo pole and a slender waist, it's comfortable anyway..."

The tall Mutant Dick got down from another car. At the same time, the Space Marine Harald, who had followed the convoy, also arrived here and looked at the people exercising.
