Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 107 Escape? This is called a tactical retreat!

The heretical lunatics regrouped and withstood the fire from the entire defense line. Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, they put on an attitude of "death is all they have", and poured into the second defense line like a torrent!

Regardless of the cost and casualties, the cult army successfully broke through the first line of defense set up by the defense forces at the entrance from the lower nest to the middle nest!
And this means...the cult can completely flood into the Central Nest!

The B-17 forward position was located on the edge of the middle nest. It was surrounded by heavy artillery attacks. The collapsed ruins became a natural shelter. Coupled with the street fighting in the city... this already brutal war completely entered a tug-of-war stage!
Street fighting is the most brutal scene in war!
Alvin commanded three teams to fire alternately, barely blocking the cult lunatics who were rushing in at the entrance of the street.

The only good news is that cults are disorganized.

They simply relied on their numbers, and with every step forward, a large number of corpses would be lying. However, facing the cult's desperate charge, even a few laser guns that were almost smoking could not stop their advance.

"Fuck the human wave tactics!"

Looking at the endless heretic army, Alvin was in a trance and even thought that his enemy was not some lunatic from the Khorne cult, but the fucking Tyranids!
Seeing that their firepower was insufficient and they were about to be completely overwhelmed by the heretics, Alvin even began to consider whether he should use psychic power to give these damn bastards a big blow.

Woo——!
Suddenly, a sharp scream came from above their heads!
The shells from the heavy defense artillery dropped from the sky with piercing screams, like the wrath of the God-Emperor!

"Hide! Hide!" Alvin's face changed drastically. He yelled at the top of his lungs in the noisy battlefield, then he jumped and hid behind the cover.

A large amount of dust splashed up by the blast of the artillery shells seemed to give him a direct bath, and he was almost buried in the soil.

Although he was nearly killed by his own shells, Alvin still couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahahaha... come on, you damn heretics, how does it feel to fire these shells?"

Because the heretic madmen were charging in a group, the crowd was quite dense. In the previous fight for the entrance to the passage, they were at least protected by the passage, and there were many secret passages, which resulted in the power of the heavy artillery not being fully revealed.

But now... everyone is gathered together!

A heavy artillery shell fell, directly exploding a large cloud of blood mist!
According to rough estimates, the heavy artillery fire just now caused at least hundreds of effective casualties, and directly cleared a large area in the densely populated streets!

boom! boom! boom!
Dense artillery shells fell like raindrops, hitting the residential area, but fortunately the commander was quick-witted and all the shells hit the front of the defense line.

But unfortunately... this time, the enemies they faced were influenced by chaos witchcraft, and had completely fallen into the desire for killing. They were dominated by evil cult lunatics and did not care about casualties at all!
Blood flowed in the ruins-strewn streets, almost forming a stream and seeping into the ground. The air of the entire battlefield was filled with an extremely sticky, sickening and pungent smell of blood!
"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"

"Kill that witchcraft bastard!!!"

"The Blood God is the real God!"

The bunch of lunatics screamed and were not afraid of the artillery fire at all. While they were reloading, they rushed forward one by one as if they were injected with chicken blood, howling and trying to break through this line of defense directly by relying on their numerical advantage!
It seemed as if they were going to rely on their numerical advantage to forcibly break through the eastern line of defense!
"Groups 1 and 2, take turns shooting!"

Alvin shouted the order at the top of his voice!

People in the houses on both sides gritted their teeth, popped their heads out, and madly poured fire on the cult below.

Every laser shot will take away a cultist!
Their angry roars merged into the entire battlefield, along with the sound of gunfire, expressing the wrath of the God-Emperor!

"No, I can't hold it back anymore!"

Alvin checked the ammunition. The laser gun's magazine was empty and all the cluster grenades had been thrown. If this continued... it would be time for hand-to-hand combat!

However, unless he had a bubble in his head, he didn't want to fight a cult lunatic blessed by Khorne!
But soon, the second bad news came!
According to the intelligence detected by the biological armor, both sides of this defensive line are about to be breached by the cult lunatics!
If they don't retreat, once their two wings are breached, they will be completely surrounded. By then, it will be difficult for them to exchange one-for-one with the cult lunatics with just these few people!
"We need to move!"

Alvin expressed his opinion to the supervisor: "The lines on both wings are about to be breached, we must move!"

"Transfer?"

The supervisor was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. He pulled out his pistol with an angry face and pointed it at Alvin: "In the name of the Emperor, you are not allowed to retreat even a single step! Otherwise... I will shoot you!" Although Alvin's performance made him very satisfied and even a little shocked, it did not stop him from shooting this "traitor" who tried to evacuate from the front line!
"This is a tactical retreat!"

Alvin argued: "The enemy has already broken through the positions on the left and right wings. It won't be long before we are directly trapped in the encirclement. Now we have to strategically move back 200 meters. We can completely build a defensive position again and continue to block the enemy!"

The supervisor was silent for a few seconds again, then gritted his teeth and said firmly: "No, this is a shameful escape!"

"It's a tactical retreat, sir."

Alvin corrected his words: "Only by preserving as much manpower as possible can we better serve His Majesty the Divine Emperor and kill more cultists, rather than staying here and dying for a position that cannot be defended at all!"

"No, that's not right!"

However, the war supervisor was completely stubborn and insisted, "This is undoubtedly a betrayal. In the name of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, you must hold your ground until your last drop of blood is shed and you fight until the very last moment!"

I'm going to fight till the last minute!
Alvin almost blurted out a curse word.

I was so angry that I wanted to crush his head to see if there was shit inside.
If people survive and land is lost, both people and land will survive!
If you keep the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost!
Don’t you understand such a simple truth?!

Just when the situation was tense and Alvin was considering whether to kill this bastard, a communications soldier suddenly broke into the position.

Looking at the two people fighting against each other in the room, the signalman hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Captain Gray asked me to ask you, who was directing the battle here just now?"

Alvin hesitated and said slowly, "It's me."

The signalman was a little skeptical until the supervisor snorted and nodded in confirmation: "He is the one commanding the battle."

"Very good. What's your name?"

The signalman suddenly thought of asking the other party's name.

"Alvin Valhuis."

"Ahem, Alvin Valhuis, according to the order of Commander Gray of the Planetary Defense Force, you have been promoted to company commander. The four surrounding squads are all under your command."

The signalman read out the order in one breath.

The supervising officer next to him was dumbfounded. How come he became a company commander in the blink of an eye? !
"Now, I am more senior than you!"

Alvin finally vented his anger and ignored the livid supervisor. He shouted, "Notify everyone, including the four teams, to retreat 200 meters and rebuild their defensive positions!"

Bad news, he was promoted to company commander of the temporary 177th Regiment.

Good news... the Hive City civilians who survived that wave of brutal street fighting have basically made it through the most difficult stage and transformed into barely qualified fighters.

The commander, who was shaking with anger, yelled, "I'm going to report this to my superiors! Report this to Commander Gray! You damn coward!"

However, Alvin glanced at him lightly and uttered two words: "Whatever."
