Chapter 346 Torpedo Assault Boat
Amidst fierce artillery fire, the warships of both sides continued to bombard each other, and the battle situation at this time was extremely unfavorable for them.
Spike frowned, his eyes fixed on the terrifying scene before him, secretly pondering his response. He knew that if the stalemate continued, they would be in an extremely passive situation.
The mission of their small team is to break through the defense of the spaceport, allow the Astra Militarum soldiers to enter the interior of the planet, and recapture the territory occupied by the heretics. Only after the defense inside the heretic planet is lost can the heretic navy fleet be unable to take care of both ends.
Finally, Spike made a decision. He turned around and said to the pastor beside him:
"This bombardment is not going to work. The situation is very unfavorable to us. I plan to lead the combat brothers of the Fifth Company to conduct an assault and boarding operation. You will be responsible for commanding the battle here."
After hearing Spike's words, the priest also gazed at the battlefield and quickly nodded in agreement. He understood Spike's thoughts at the moment, because only by adopting such a risky but decisive tactic could the current deadlock be broken.
However, the pastor did not want Spike to lead the team on such a dangerous mission. So, he shook his head, rejected Spike's proposal, and said firmly:
"Captain Spike, you should continue to command the battle! I will lead the boarding operation this time."
Spike was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but then he fell into a brief moment of contemplation. After a few seconds, he looked up at the pastor's resolute eyes and finally nodded:
"Well, since you insist, you will lead the boarding operation. Be sure to be cautious and act swiftly."
After receiving Spike's permission, the priest nodded to him seriously, then quickly turned and left the bridge.
Then, he led fifty battle-hardened Blood Angels Space Marines onto five torpedo assault boats that had been prepared.
With the roar of the engines, these assault boats rushed towards the distant spaceport at an extremely fast speed like arrows.
At this time, the atmosphere in the spaceport was tense. The company commander in charge of commanding the operations was staring intently at the radar screen in front of him.
Suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded, and the radar scan showed five torpedo assault boats rushing towards the spaceport like arrows.
The company commander's expression suddenly changed. He widened his eyes and shouted without hesitation:
"Everyone, attention! Torpedo assault boats are rapidly approaching our spaceport. Attack these assault boats first! We must not let them get close to the spaceport!"
Upon hearing the captain's order, the defense soldiers sprang into action. Those operating the spaceport's weapon systems were even more solemn, echoing the captain's instructions in unison, their voices deep and powerful:
"understand!"
Immediately afterwards, a series of deafening roars were heard.
"Boom boom boom!"
From the weapon system in the spaceport, huge, thick energy rays shining with dazzling light pierced through the dark void and rushed towards the incoming assault boats with the force of thunder.
Each energy ray contained the power to destroy the world, as if it could tear the entire universe apart.
However, these torpedo assault boats, thanks to the Blood Angels' superhumanly agile nerve reactions and superb control techniques, were like nimble fish swimming freely, dodging left and right in the dense energy beams, cleverly avoiding fatal attacks time and time again.
Despite the successive energy beams, the assault boats piloted by the Blood Angels continued to move forward bravely, constantly shortening the distance between them and the spaceport.
"Captain! This is bad! The torpedo assault boats of the pseudo-emperor's lackeys are constantly approaching our spaceport, and at such a high speed that our attacks can't hit them at all!"
A defense soldier in charge of operating the light spear, with an anxious look on his face, shouted at the defense company commander on the communication channel.
At this time, the spaceport was filled with a tense atmosphere, and various defensive weapons were on standby, but these weapons were all old equipment left over from the Manda Galaxy.
Due to its age and lack of maintenance and updates, there are no advanced intelligent systems here. Even the most advanced equipment is just a few old wetware brains.
The defense soldiers had to operate these ancient and bulky weapon systems in a hurry, and every time they fired, they had to rely on manual aiming, which was not only inefficient but also greatly reduced accuracy.
In fact, the logistics department faced many difficult problems after taking over the Manda Galaxy. Their first task was to comprehensively transform the harsh environment inside the planet and the dilapidated buildings and facilities to ensure that the residents could have a relatively safe and comfortable living space.
Because of this, the spaceport upgrade was temporarily put on hold, and the defense forces had no choice but to bite the bullet and use these outdated weapons and equipment.
After hearing the soldier's report, the company commander stared closely at the real-time image displayed on the radar screen in front of him. He saw that the torpedo assault boats were rushing towards the spaceport like a group of hungry wolves, and the distance between them was rapidly shortening.
His eyes grew colder, his brow furrowed. After a moment's contemplation, he decisively issued an order: "Since we can't stop these damn assault boats from approaching, then all personnel must evacuate the spaceport immediately! Move quickly!"
After the company commander gave orders to all the soldiers, he also gave orders to the 100,000 combat robots:
"The combat robots will stay and continue fighting, holding back these pseudo-emperor's lackeys. When these assault boats enter the depths of the spaceport and attempt to destroy the void shield, self-destruct and drag the pseudo-emperor's lackeys with you to death."
"As ordered."
After receiving the order from the defense company commander, the fighter robots took over the weapons controlled by the defense soldiers without hesitation and continued to attack the torpedo assault boats near the spaceport.
The rest of the defense soldiers quickly rushed to the nearest teleportation platform and returned directly to the underground fortress on the Manda planet through the teleportation platform.
As the Guardsmen left the spaceport on the transport platform, they also left several melta bombs on it. After all the Guardsmen had left the spaceport, these melta bombs exploded one after another, completely destroying the transport platform and leaving the Blood Angels no chance.
Even if the defense soldiers did not destroy the teleportation platforms, the Blood Angels would not use them after discovering them, but for the defense soldiers, they would not leave any opportunity for the enemy to take advantage.
Godfathers, I'm begging again
