Chapter 36 Sudden First Kill

Chapter 36 Sudden First Kill

The narrow airborne cabin was accompanied by violent tremors and bumps. A red indicator light of the same model as the Tiaobang torpedo was flashing overhead. Fu Chenghai was firmly fixed on the seat back by straps.

The helmeted Gurt turned his head, scarlet goggles and visor covering his expression.

"Qingshan, is this your first time riding an orbital airborne capsule?" His dull voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Yes." Fu Qihai replied.

"No one likes this thing, and everyone would rather ride a Stormbird than hand over their fate to this one-time iron shell." Gould said.

"I think it's okay, at least it's pretty fast, isn't it?" Fu Chenghai replied with a smile.

There was a chuckle in the bumpy and trembling small space, and Fu Qinghai's words eased the dull atmosphere.

As much as Space Marines don't like it, it has to be said that Orbital Drop is a strong form of tactical strike.

The sky and the earth have been asymmetrical wars since ancient times, especially when they lose the air supremacy of the outer space orbit. No matter how strong and complex the defense system and fortifications the enemy has built on the surface in advance, facing the three-dimensional orbital airborne The strike and direct insertion center will also collapse and disintegrate in an instant. In addition to the space fighters loaded inside, the airborne capsule itself is also a weapon.

The soldiers sitting in the airborne pod suddenly felt a violent shaking, and the sudden increase in overload was enough to force the bile of ordinary humans out of their mouths, and the Astartes quickly stabilized their bodies.

Everyone knew that the bottom thrusters of the airborne pod were jetting backwards to slow down, and they were not far from landing.

Everyone grabbed their weapons tightly.

Soon, there was a violent impact and trembling, and the airborne cabin stopped, and the alarm light above the head turned from red to green. However, after the tremor, the surrounding hatches did not open immediately, and everyone was still stuffed in the airborne cabin.

The airborne troops will complete rapid deployment at the moment of landing, and this suddenness will be lost if the hatch cannot be opened.

Gurt punched the hatch hard and cursed: "Damn it, our hatch is stuck!"

After cursing, he turned to look at Fu Qihai, "The good news is that we have a technical sergeant here."

Fu Qihai got up from his seat, and the folded mechanical arm on the side of the power backpack stretched out with his thoughts, like a mechanical appendage with teeth and claws.

When Fu Qihai came to the hatch, the iron pliers of the mechanical arm opened, and a welding torch nozzle protruded from the middle of the pliers. The blazing white light illuminated the dim airborne cabin. The hatch opened.

The Ultramarines filed out with guns in hand.

The airborne capsule where Fu Qihai was in just landed between the cracks in a deep canyon. The space fighters had to climb up the nearby cliff with hands and feet, but found that there was a dark cave extending in all directions on the cliff. They actually fell into the big crack. In the small chasm below the valley.

As soon as Gurt took out the tactical tablet to check the coordinates, he couldn't help complaining:

"Is this the result of half a day's calculations by the technical priests? It's too outrageous."

After a simple search, the team found another airborne pod with its hatch stuck. Fu Qihai went up and was about to open the hatch with a welding torch.

"Boom" A group of plasma flames ablated through the hatch and spewed out.

A team of Ultramarines quickly rushed out of the airborne cabin, pointing their guns at Fu Chenghai.

"Hey, Polasco, you're not afraid to burn yourself with a plasma weapon in the airborne pod," Gurt shouted.

"That's better than being trapped to death inside." After confirming his identity, the Ultramarines quickly moved their guns, and the leader of the fighters responded to Guert.

Guert nodded and said: "We have deviated from the predetermined position by three kilometers, we need to speed up, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he took his own team, found a cave in the same direction as the target position, and drilled in.

Another team of Ultramarines also found a cave to drill into.

The roads in the dark cave are intricate, the signal is not good, and the communication with the space orbit and other teams is intermittent. Fortunately, there is no enemy encountered. The Stinger Tactical Team quickly arrived at the predetermined position. Fighting fiercely with the traitors.

Just as Fu Qihai got out of the cave, a heavy bomb grazed his scalp and shattered a cluster of stalactite pillars behind him.

Fu Qihai quickly shrank his head and fell down.

Guert crawled to the front, and the vanguard of the Ultramarines hiding in the pit in front of them turned their heads and found that they were teammates, and shouted:

"Gurt, their shipboard weapons are too powerful, where is your heavy weapon support?"

Gurt was about to reply that I only have ordinary space fighters here, when he saw the opponent's defense line was in chaos, explosions and gunshots sounded from the opposite side, and the enemy's counterattack began to become messy.

"Heavy weapons are coming." A deep and deep voice sounded in the communication channel that had been silent for a long time.

Gurt was surprised. He recognized the owner of the voice and said, "It's the ancient warrior Hiller! They parachuted behind the enemy."

As soon as Fu Qihai heard the ancient warrior, he knew who the guy was talking on the communication channel.

Dreadnought armor!

The standard heavy firepower platform of the Space Marine Legion.

Fu Qihai and the Ultramarines seized this hard-won opportunity to stand up and run towards the fortifications built by the enemy.

As soon as Fu Qinghai fell into a tunnel with a sliding shovel, a huge buzzing chain saw ax struck from the slant. Fu Qinghai stepped aside to avoid the axe, and accurately delivered a knife with his right hand, a powerful long knife. The tip of the knife flashing with a faint blue electric arc stabbed smoothly into the intruder's goggles.

With a scream, the Word Bearer warrior loosened his grip on the ax handle and fell to his knees dejectedly.

Kill!

This was the first Space Marine Fu Qinghai had killed since he became a Space Marine, his first kill.

It came so suddenly, without serious confrontation, without patient dealings, without you and me showing off every move. At the moment when he was caught off guard, Fu Qinghai didn't even have time to think. It was just based on the muscle memory and long-term training. Instinctively, the enemy is dead.

Fu Qinghai took a deep breath and told himself, this is not an online novel, this is war!

An extreme warrior next to him also jumped into the tunnel. He looked at the body at Fu Qinghai's feet and said:

"That move just now was not bad, go back and teach me."

Fu Qinghai did not recognize this soldier. He nodded, stepped over the corpse, and continued to move forward.

Soon they saw the fearless mechas that were wreaking havoc not far away.

It was a behemoth that was 4.5 meters high and 3 meters wide. The largest upright walking land unit in the human empire's army was the smallest Titan - the Knight Mecha.

Fu Qinghai identified its model: the most installed Contemptor Dreadnought mecha in the 30k era.

A thick and huge fuselage is loaded on the sturdy bipedal chassis, and its pilot is buried in the middle of the fuselage - a seriously injured Space Marine who died. His limbs were removed, leaving only the head and part of the torso, mainly the spine. He was stuffed into this sarcophagus...strictly speaking, it was a life-support device, and he used the intelligent control technology of the Mechanicum to control this giant thing.

As a technical sergeant, Fu Qinghai analyzed at a glance that this dark blue-painted Contemptor Dreadnought was equipped with a double-barreled melt cannon in its left hand, and its right hand was a power claw with a plasma cannon built into the palm.

At this moment, the Dreadnaught Mecha was going on a killing spree in the enemy formation. He blasted out hot molten gas and burned several Word Bearers Space Marines who rushed up howling. The huge fuselage that could rotate 360 ​​degrees twisted back and used power again. The claw grabbed a Word Bearer warrior who was attacking from behind. The sharp power claw pierced the attacker's ceramite armor and hung his whole body on the power claw. The fuselage turned again and pulled the dying man away. The Word Bearers flung out.

Oh my god, it's so fierce... Fu Qinghai's eyes lit up when he saw it, and the backup of Iron Man's electronic soul was boiling in his mind - if he gave this fearless mecha to Fu Qinghai, he could transform it into something even stronger!

"Ancient warrior Hiller, well done!" Gurt shouted excitedly in the communication channel.

Although there was a deviation in the landing position of the Sting Team, another team correctly landed inside the enemy's defense line. Under attack from both inside and outside, the defense line was quickly breached.

The long-lost voice of Vlahos also sounded in the communication channel: "Each team will go to the key locations of the transport ship to destroy the spacecraft device according to the original plan. Don't be reluctant to fight, repeat, don't be reluctant to fight."

Fu Qinghai knew that Vlahos also led the airborne troops, but he didn't know where he landed.

As communications resumed, they were no closer than that.

The Stinger Team's tactical execution was very strong. The Dreadnought Mecha opened the way and penetrated directly into the heart of the battle line, not wanting to fight.

After several skirmishes, the Stingers found a target transport ship in the dark isthmus.

The searchlight installed on the top of the Contemptor Dreadnought lighted up, and a white beam of light hit the sides of the gray-white spacecraft that was as tall as a wall.

The high bulwark is like a city wall blocking everyone's face, and you can only see the top by raising your neck.

The transport spacecraft that sensed the arrival of the Ultramarines also reacted. A quadruple heavy bomb cannon installed on the side turned this way and opened fire. The Dreadnought mech propped up the atomic shield generator, blocking most of the flying missiles. The incoming explosive bombs faced the storm-like chain of fire of four heavy explosive bombs, and they advanced step by step with difficulty.

The Stinger team used the atomic shield held up by the Dreadnought as cover and struggled to maintain a stalemate with the turret on the transport ship.

Gurth shouted into the communication channel: "The Stinger Team has arrived at the designated location, 11 minutes later than scheduled, and found the transport ship Abominable Worm, at coordinates 341-023-123, exchanging fire with the transport ship. Heavy fire support is needed!”

"Roger, Sting Team, enter the Abominable Worm's predetermined location, complete your goals and evacuate." Vlahos's voice rang in the communication channel.

"The energy of the atomic energy shield is insufficient, and it is expected to last for three minutes." The dull voice of the ancient warrior Hiller through the converted sound generator was as calm as ever.

Calmly telling a critical fact.

And the crazy output turret has no tendency to stop at all.

"Stinger Team, spread out the flanks, fire suppression." Gurt ordered.

The Ultramarines quickly spread out from behind the Dreadnought Mecha to both sides, raised their weapons and fired at the turret.

However, the rotating quadruple heavy blaster turret on the transport ship simply ignored the bullets fired by the Space Marines on both wings. The thick bulwarks blocked these sparse shots, and it aimed at the Dreadnought Mecha's crazy output.

"Two minutes." The dull voice of the ancient warrior Hiller sounded again in the communication channel.

The only heavy firepower the Stinger Squad had was the twin melta cannons and plasma cannon mounted on the sides of the Contempt Dreadnought, both of which unfortunately couldn't hit the tall turrets in the distance.

"Let's retreat steadily first, back into the cave, and wait for the support of the long-range heavy fire team to be in place before entering."

Gurt felt that it was not a problem to be beaten passively, so he chose a safe plan.

Fu Qihai zoomed in on the goggles, and carefully scanned and inspected the hull of the transport ship. Tony Stark's electronic soul was analyzing and running at high speed.

found it!

Based on the structure, shape and texture, Fu Qihai discovered a hidden hatch half buried in the rock.

"I can enter the transport ship, you cover me!" Fu Qihai shouted in the communication channel.

Without waiting for his teammates to respond, Fu Qihai looked left and right, taking advantage of the darkness and the fearless mech to attract firepower, and quickly and carefully touched to the other side.

Guert turned his head and watched as Fu Qihai quietly touched a hatch at the bottom of the spaceship. The mechanical arm behind him flexibly deployed the welding torch and cutting knife, and began to break through the door.

The Stinger team, which was about to retreat, stopped again.

Guert recalled Fu Qihai's performance along the way before, secretly thought that this kid was too aggressive, and his desire to fight was stronger than that of the Ultramarines who had a feud with the Word Bearers. As a technical sergeant who should have been placed at the back of the team, Every time he rushes to the forefront of the battle, he cuts countless enemies, but he has superb sword skills and does not lose to the company champion.

In fact, what he didn't know was that during the battle, Fu Qihai gradually discovered that acting with a team of comrades would increase the assimilation points, but the enemies he killed with his own hands had the most assimilation points, so he always rushed to the front in every battle.

But Fu Qihai is also very afraid of death. While trying to earn assimilation points, he is also highly nervous and cautious.

Due to the pitching angle, the quadruple heavy bomber could not see Fu Qihai's small movements under the spaceship.

The turret was still outputting, and the atomic energy shield of the Dreadnought gradually dimmed under the continuous attack of saturated firepower.

Fu Qihai cut open the hatch and got in.

Behind the hatch is a dark circular duct, along which countless black cables, chains, and pipelines extend.

Fu Qihai climbed up the pipeline to the location where the quadruple heavy bomber was installed, and found that a skinny servitor was connecting and controlling the weapon. Numerous wires were inserted into the servitor's head and connected to the controller of the turret.

Fu Qihai shot and damaged the connection cable, white smoke and sparks exploded, and the servant fell to the ground, trembling all over, uttering uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The quadruple heavy-bombers finally went off, allowing the Stinger squad, hiding behind the Dreadnoughts, to move forward quickly.

"Good job, Qingshan, waiting for us to join you." Guert praised in the communication channel.

The soldiers of the Stinger Squad got into the transport ship through the hatch cut by Fu Qihai, and Gurt said to the fearless mech following behind:

"Ancient soldier Hiller, you wait here for other teams to arrive and serve as the rear for us."

"Received." The Dreadnought replied in a muffled voice.

The hatch that Fu Qihai cut was too small, and what was connected behind it was not the corridor of the transport ship, but the passage for workers and machine servants to shuttle through. The huge size of the dreadnought mecha could not pass through it at all.

...

Outside the other transport ship, Vlajos, who was wearing Terminator armor and carrying a power hammer and was still fighting bloody battles with the Word Bearers, received the news that Fu Qihai's Stinger team had already broken into the Worm-Abominable transport ship first. News from inside the ship.

As the commander, he knew that Gurt's Stinger squad was the first to successfully break into the dropship's interior.

Frajos is very familiar with his subordinates, and he knows that Guert is not the kind of person who rushes in lightly.

The variant, then, would be that Tech Sgt Astartes from the White Scars.

Frajos knocked a Word Bearer warrior flying with his hammer, stopping to catch his breath.

He thought to himself, as expected of a person with a white scar, as rumored, he carried his speed down to his bones.

…………

PS: The focus of the war scenes in the first volume is limited to relatively small local conflicts, and I will not spend space on describing the original plot of the Horus Rebellion. This is because, on the one hand, the official novels have written about these things, so I will repeat them here. There is a suspicion of making up the number of words. On the other hand, the protagonist is still a small character who has just grown up and does not yet have the ability to influence the situation of a battle, so I will not describe the big scenes of the war for now, and there will be later.
