Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 397 05.0396: "'The Beast of Omaha'"

The dispatch of the three batches of fighters on each side is now very tight. Because of the threat posed by the first round of boarding, the Falcon Squadron, which originally took off and landed on the starboard apron, had to land on the port apron belonging to the Skyhawk Squadron.

However, due to its bravery in combat, the Sky Eagle Squadron returned home faster than expected.

Circling in the combat airspace, fighter planes without ammunition are nothing more than sitting ducks. Horatio needs to arrange for these pilot sisters to return as soon as possible.

Inside the Indefatigable, the heroic armed forces used blood and counterattacks to block the invading forces that were boarding the ship.

As Commodore Peru had said, if the enemy was determined to board, it would be better for the heavily guarded Indefatigable to withstand the boarding forces of the two largest warships in the enemy fleet than for them to jump onto the light cruiser behind.

The boarding operation of the Slaughter-class cruiser once again delivered nearly 6,000 troops.

When they boarded the Indefatigable, the landing site of the Emperor's Death had turned into a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

With one kick, there were body parts everywhere.

The dead, wearing black, purple, red and blue uniforms, fell to the ground with their broken bodies. Many of their normal or mutated limbs were broken, but they were still holding their weapons tightly, maintaining a fighting stance.

Relying on the fierce offensive momentum when they first boarded the ship, as well as the powerful Chaos Astartes, the Chaos boarding force successfully broke through a part of the outer corridor of the Indefatigable.

But when Horatio quickly determined the invading enemy through the perception of the Indefatigable Machine Spirit, he immediately assisted the armed forces command based on the information and arranged for the strangulation troops to surround the enemy.

Using the help of onboard defensive positions, blocking gates, and 'killing fields' - the Imperial Navy's name for the open spaces within a ship with firing points set up high up - the Indefatigable's armed sailors have so far succeeded in slowing down the Chaos boarding force's further advance.

When Horatio was the chief officer of the Aviation Department, he considered the possible attack routes of the enemy to the apron after boarding.

As the head of the Aviation Department, he believed it was very necessary to strengthen the defenses of the hangars and shuttle ramps.

Therefore, according to his plan, a space of about 100 meters deep was left outside the flat and open hangar and shuttle ramp on both sides, leaving an open area with no cover for the enemy as a 'killing field'. Even if this wasted some precious space, it was worth it.

The engineering department also built combat corridors and circular combat platforms at high altitudes and set up heavy weapons gun mounts.

His 'partiality' was not without reward.

At this time, these equipment and battle venues come in handy.

This is a tower defense game made of ceramic, steel, and flesh.

By operating the hatches, the invaders could be split or merged and directed to a battle location that would be advantageous to the officers and men of the Imperial Navy.

As soon as these invaders rush to the aviation block deck, which is 100 meters wide and high, they will be met with a fierce attack by the apron garrison troops who have been prepared for it.

The naval garrisons at the hangar and shuttle ramp either hid behind preset positions or commanded a high position, using fierce firepower to mow down these reckless intruders in droves like mowing straw.

Faced with this situation, the enemy soldiers who broke in later could not find anything to use as cover.

The subsequent influx of troops blocked the retreat route of the troops in front, and any rebel soldiers who dared to flee were brutally and ruthlessly slaughtered.

Faced with a desperate situation where they could neither advance nor retreat, the survivors trapped in the middle were finally forced to lie down directly on the cold aviation deck, using the bodies of the Chaos rebels who died in battle for cover.

But this futile struggle was meaningless against the newly built defense platform above the hangar.

These firepower points, located on defensive platforms forty to fifty meters high, can easily cross the pile of corpses and shoot down the Chaos rebels who are crawling forward after being suppressed by firepower.

Later, according to the post-war report summary, Horatio discovered that in a hangar killing field code-named "Omaha", an ordinary heavy weapons shooter named Hein Severo performed particularly well.

Facing the fierce attack of the Chaos rebels, Hein Severo, who was hiding on the No. 62 shooting defense platform, kept firing with the mounted heavy bolter.

During the nine-hour battle, Hein Severo fired a total of more than 9 heavy bolts, almost emptying all the stock of heavy bolt ammunition in the nearby armory and replacing more than a dozen gun barrels.

In front of the defense platform, the Chaos rebels screamed hysterically. The rebels surged up like a tide and fell to the ground like a tide.

Blood stained the entire deck and the surrounding drainage channels red. During the post-war inventory of corpses, some officers believed that Severo caused more than 4000 casualties to the Chaos Rebels that day, as well as the death of two Black Legion Chaos Space Marines.

Because of this horrific shooting record, Hein Severo was dubbed the "Beast of the Omaha Killing Fields."

He was promoted directly from an ordinary second-class sailor to a sergeant of the Imperial Navy's boarding team, and was affectionately called "Beast Forerunner" by the sailors.

Thanks to the heroic resistance of these Imperial Navy warriors, the Skyhawk Squadron landed safely on the right shuttle apron.

When the Fury was pulled into the hangar by the tractor beam, the explosion-proof armored door was immediately closed to prevent the shells fired from the enemy battle line from directly hitting the shuttle apron with the door wide open.

Fasha jumped down from the boarding ladder pushed by the ground crew with sweat all over his forehead. Gunshots were heard from all directions in panoramic sound.

She looked at the charred laser scratches on the wings and let out a long breath.

Suddenly, a roar came from behind, approaching.

"Ha!" A Chaos soldier who managed to break through the blockade picked up a laser gun engraved with blasphemous patterns and pointed the sharp bayonet on the gun at the female pilot.

She immediately drew the Taran sword from her waist, dodged the spear, and then kicked the opponent hard in the face. She swung the sword backhandedly and cut the traitor's throat, leaving the traitor bleeding on the tarmac with a whimper.

"There's an infiltration team! Fire! Fire!"

boom! boom! boom!
The armed sailors who arrived fired dense bullets with shotguns, killing several rebellious PDF soldiers who had slipped in through the gap.

The navy boarding team members who were assigned by the young acting captain to reinforce the hangar and maintain stability arrived at the hangar and started a fierce and bloody fight with the Chaos rebels on the spacious apron.

"Sir, leave this to us. Please go to the pilot's lounge. The technical priest will ask the servitor to maintain your fighter and resupply it with fuel and ammunition." A female sergeant from the boarding team saluted Fasha.

"Okay, please protect my plane as well! We must not let this wing command plane be damaged."

"We will defend you till death, sir!" After the salute, the sergeant immediately led his men to chase and kill the Chaos boarding troops that were running around.

At this time, in the void.

The Lord Daros had engaged the fourth enemy ship in the Chaos battle line.

As the lead ship in the battle line, it took the lead in bearing the most ferocious concentrated fire.

This Moon-class cruiser, produced in the orbital shipyard of the Savage Mining World, has a long history. It served in the Gothic Fleet during the Gothic War and has a total service life of a thousand years.

The inhabitants of this wild mining world have been using primitive means to mine and smelt ore, and then handing over the finished metal ingots to the servants of the 'God of All Machines' as offerings to build the 'Sky Temple'.

Finally, their perseverance paid off.

Many years later, their descendants reverently saw a new meteor being born in the void, and this new meteor remained in the universe with its brothers.

Its "meteoric trail" is the plasma wake of Lord Dalos as she left the system to join the Imperial Navy's Gothic Fleet.

This thousand-year-old ship sped towards the cold and dark void, its cannons and light spears on its side venting the wrath of the God-Emperor towards any hateful enemy that dared to challenge the authority of the Imperial Navy.

The firepower of the Doomsday-class battlecruisers followed closely behind, and the enemy ships whose void shields were successfully overloaded by Lord Daros and were severely whipped did not get a moment's respite.

Before the void shield could recover, it was hit by a volley of fire from the Indefatigable.

"Target 'Apostle of Hate' (Hell Apostle MK.2 light cruiser), fire from front to back!" Horatio sat upright on the captain's command throne, and in the fierce exchange of fire and shooting, he calmly issued orders according to the changes in the battle situation.
