Chapter 280: Armed Raid III

In the main portway of the Pegasus Stargate Control Station, after the captain of the Prowler team confirmed that the end of the porthole was safe, the other marines followed, and the captain of the shortsword team reported the situation to Stardew, and Stardew felt very strange, those people had shifted their positions, could it be that they had gone to the back of the bread?

She glanced at Augustine, only to see that the other party was looking at her, and although she was still sure through the helmet, Stardew was sure that this guy must be waiting to see what kind of order she was going to announce next, waiting to see her make a fool of herself! At least that's what Stardew thinks.

In fact, Augustine was just watching Stardew's every move stupidly, and he didn't have so many strange thoughts, although his thoughts were a little strange in the first place.

Stardew wanted to ask Augustine for advice, but seeing him like that, he gave up his intention to do so, and directly ordered: "Alpha-1-A, go to the rear of the position and be on guard!" โ€

Stardew was alarmed, thinking that the enemy was likely to go around the back, and a squad of the Storm Paratroopers immediately circled to the rear of the Marines' position after receiving the order, but the recruits were a little proud of the small victory they had won before, but Stardew didn't know it.

The non-commissioned officers knew that in the battlefield, who was proud, they could see at a glance, although they were a little puzzled by the order of Chief Stardew to send recruits to guard the rear, but this was an order after all, Stardew was the supreme commander, although they felt that this order was inappropriate, but no one spoke to question it.

Two minutes later, fierce gunfire came from behind the position! All the Marines were shocked in their hearts! Especially the non-commissioned officers, Chief Stardew has a good hunch, the enemy is really outflanked from the rear! Something is wrong! Those arrogant recruits are going to suffer a big loss!

"Sir, we have been attacked and have suffered heavy losses! The captain and 3 members of the team are killed! One more member of the team was seriously injured! Request support! The surviving Marines of Alpha-1-A shouted in the team's communications channel.

Some of the team members led by himself were killed, and Xinglu's bare eyes turned pale in an instant, and this hammer-like fact hit the perfection in her heart, and also hit her self-confidence, and her psychology directly affected her physiology, and even the blood in her chest coagulated for a moment.

No one can understand the pressure on Stardew's heart, this battle is not only her first battle, but also the most severe battle that the Aurelia Pirate Regiment has experienced so far, this battle must not be lost! Both for Stardew personally, and for the pirate group as a whole.

Stardew forcibly calmed her mind and quickly gave what she thought was the most correct order, which was the most important lesson of a commander taught by Augustine - to give orders quickly and accurately, and not to let the soldiers waiting for orders fall into confusion, especially when facing a desperate situation.

The current situation is far from a desperate situation, and what Stardew needs most now is to give the order as soon as possible to reverse the decline, no matter whether her tone is firm or not, as soon as the order is given, the soldiers will immediately execute: "Prowler squad, defend in place, short... Gladius Squad, go to support Alpha-1-A..."

"Yes, sir!" The two squad leaders of the Black Scourgeon Company responded.

The Stiletto team quickly turned back and rushed in the direction of the Alpha-1-A team, and half a minute later, the gunfire from the rear of the position seemed to be more intense. After another half a minute, the captain of the Stiletto team spoke with anxiety and reported in the team's communication system: "Sir, the Alpha team is all killed, and the number of enemies is large, close to 200 people!" The Stiletto Squad requests a retreat! โ€

"Return to position immediately!" Stardew clenched her fists nervously and ordered the Gladius Squad Leader, this order was given by her in a panic, but it was the most correct order, and ten seconds later, the Gladius Squad would be encircled.

"Roger!" The captain of the Stiletto squad didn't want to wait any longer, his six-man squad couldn't confront more than 200 enemies head-on.

Until this time, Augustine was still staring at Stardew's every move, and when he was on the battlefield, he had lost his consciousness and vigilance as a Marine. It wasn't until out of the corner of his eye that Augustine woke up like a dream when he saw several small cuts in the metal pipes of the ceiling, like a great enemy! That's when he realized that something very bad was about to happen.

All the veterans who found out about this quickly moved into action without waiting for Stardew to give any orders, roaring and swearing, pulling at the recruits who hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary, telling them to get out of this damn position.

The recruits were dragged like flies without a head, they had no idea what was going on, they didn't know where the veterans were going to pull them, it was too late. In less than 3 seconds, all the small openings of the metal pipe above his head rolled down the grenade that had been pulled out of the fuse, and fell on the side of the Marines who were in a mess.

The veterans could only let go of the recruits in their hands and quickly jumped to safety.

"Beware of avoidance!!" Augustine was in a hurry, and pressed the liner button with his chin hard, because of the force, his jaw was hurting, he shouted loudly, and then, pulled over Stardew, who was as overwhelmed as the recruits, and turned out of cover, and the adjutant Zoai threw a grenade that fell beside him far away, and then lay down on the spot.

"Boom โ€”โ€”!" Explosions rang out one after another, and dozens of sparks exploded in the temporary positions of the marines.

Some of the recruits who didn't have time to dodge were blown into the sky, some were blown to pieces, and the power of the grenade explosion was something that the combat armor could not resist after all.

After the blinding fire and violent tremors were over, Stardew broke free of Augustine's hands, straightened up, and looked at the scene before her on her kneesโ€”the portico had been blown into a recess on either side, the white lights went out, and the scarlet emergency lights came on, the red light masking the color of blood, as if all the walls of the portroom had been painted red.

I can't tell where the light is and where the blood is.

The marines who were rescued by the veterans in time were pitifully few, and the recruits of the storm paratroopers experienced what the veterans called "hell" in this round of explosions.

The veterans were raising their guns to hit the metal pipes under the ceiling, and the surviving recruits hid behind the veterans with their heads in their hands, secretly looking at the corpses of the bombed armor and torsos, the seriously injured recruits who were not blown up, but were dying and reaching out to Stardew for help.

In the next second, the arm hung down weakly, proving that its owner had lost his life.

In the position, 10 Storm Paratrooper Marine recruits were killed by direct grenades, and the non-commissioned officers of the Reconnaissance Company had only time to rescue 8 of them.

"Harrier Eagle, you're wounded!" The captain of the short sword squad who had just turned back saw the tragic scene here, and hurriedly ordered the squad members to help treat the injured marines, everyone's fully enclosed armor had different degrees of damage, and the armor damage gap was gradually filling and recovering, and the injured marines had to open part of the armor to deal with the injured parts in an emergency.

Although there were many veterans in this team, they were still irrepressibly panicked, and the soldiers of the storm paratrooper unit were killed by the enemy's sneak attack, and 16 people were killed! Although none of the non-commissioned officers of the Black Scourge Reconnaissance Company were killed, most of them were injured to varying degrees.

This is already a rout for the recruits.

The veterans spontaneously took action, trying to stabilize the psychological condition of the survivors and the dangerous battlefield situation, and the members of the Warhammer Squad, who kept shooting with their heads up, never stopped, and in the metal pipes under the ceiling, hidden enemy bombardiers, some of them were killed by random shots, and bright red blood dripped down the bullet holes and dripped to the ground.

This is not the worst case scenario, the worse situation is coming, after the explosion, Stardew, Augustine, Harrier Eagle Deputy Company Commander, Gladius Squad, Warhammer Squad, Adjutant Zoai, and the 8 surviving Storm Paratrooper Marines are facing another very dangerous situation! The enemy in the rear of the position, attacked!

The Dragon Star Pirate Regiment has deployed more than 200 armed personnel in this Star Gate Control Station, and the first 40 are just a decoy force! To be able to come up with such a tactic and inflict heavy damage on the Marines shows that the enemy's commander is also a difficult fellow!

The non-commissioned officers knew that this time the enemy was different from the last attack on the Pirate Regiment, they could be regarded as well-trained, not a rabble! Marines, carelessly underestimate the enemy!

After the grenade explosion, the enemy forces began to storm the damaged positions of the marines!

The two squads of short sword and war hammer pressed 8 shivering recruits to the ground and ordered them not to look up, and 12 non-commissioned officers of all ranks, under the leadership of the deputy company commander of the Harrier Eagle, launched a blocking attack on an enemy dozens of times their size!

The non-commissioned officers' precise timing saved some face for the Marines, and the enemy fell in pieces, they did not expect that their opponents would be able to maintain such a strong fighting force after such an explosion.

From being bombed by the dense grenade explosion until now, Commander Stardew has always been in a state of immediacy, without issuing any orders, and the non-commissioned officers can only rely on experience and consciousness to counterattack, Commander Stardew has committed the most taboo thing for commanders, but for extenuation, they can only temporarily take on the task of activating the combat team.

Stardew still stared blankly at the mutilated corpses of the fallen soldiers, she had never seen bloodshed and sacrificed soldiers, no matter how hard she trained on weekdays, on the real battlefield, she would enter this state of stiffness, although Stardew was the supreme commander of the Marine Corps, she was still a recruit who had never seen the blood of the battlefield.

It was completely different from piloting a starship, when the starship exploded, she couldn't see so many red, white, purple, black, living human parts.

Even so, Stardew's team members are all waiting for the commander's order, and if they delay for one more second, they will be in danger of being wiped out!
