Chapter Twenty-Five: Steel Fortress!
Qin Feng had never felt so unlucky!
Originally, it was just to receive the investigation instructions issued by the faction internally, to figure out the purpose of the Icarus's secret operation, and to take on a small task that seemed to be to escort Yuan Zijian, but in fact, he accompanied Elisa's little rich woman out to relax, and took three extra money at a time, how fast!
Although it seems that there are a bunch of tasks in his body, for the veteran driver of the special service group of the Second Military Department, it is simply easy to go out on vacation.
Originally, everything was very good, and on the journey, I met a guy who looked very funny, a origin evolutionary named David, who was preparing to get to know each other a few more times on the journey, develop a pure friendship, and then find some ways to pull each other in.
He even found a way, such as smashing the other party with a lot of money, anyway, there is a small chaebol like Alisa, and the amount of loan is just a number, and Alyssa seems to be very interested in David's guy.
This is good news, if David can be pitted, then no one will be making a big mockery if he goes out to wave in the future.
He could see that the other party was very short of money, and he lacked an identity that could enter the house.
But everything that happened next perfectly illustrates the phrase 'the idea is very full, the reality is very skinny'.
Since the next day, he has found traces of 'peers', and he didn't care much about it, after all, although the radical actions of the Federation this time are secretive, they still show some feet, and he can receive the news, and it is understandable that other forces have done some similar investigations.
After the fifth day, however, events seemed to be out of everyone's control.
No one could have imagined that someone would spread the infected virus on the ship in a frenzy, and even attacked the core warehouse of the Icarus while the infected body was raging.
However, thanks to that woman, he had the opportunity to be urgently recruited by the captain of the Icarus, and was able to enter the core warehouse area, which was originally heavily guarded, and saw the goods... That thing, once exposed, will inevitably affect the Federation, nay, the hearts of all the powerful people...
If this thing is really stolen by the Sakura Society, the consequences will be really unimaginable...
The sound of an explosion in the distance interrupted Qin Feng's divergent thoughts, and he spat out the cigarette butt that was about to burn out in his mouth, as if he wanted to spit out all the bad luck in the past few days.
"It's almost impossible to hold on here, and it's ready to retreat into the interior of the warehouse area! Regroup the line of defense. He said in the military channel of Icarus.
"But the captain's order to us is to stay here!"
A colleague couldn't help but reply. And that's what most people are saying.
Although this order made them desperate, obeying the orders of their superiors is a professional quality that most soldiers develop in countless trainings the day after tomorrow.
"Fart! That stupid woman who hasn't even been to a real battlefield doesn't understand any bullshit, and is here to defend it? By what stubborn defense? The Icarus doesn't have much life in the first place, so it's all over if it's all folded here! Qin Feng couldn't help but scold.
As soon as he finished saying this, several screams full of despair came from the military channel.
I saw a large hole in the bulkhead in the distance being blasted out again, and the gas overflow caused by the absolute air pressure difference was like a storm, and more than a dozen federal soldiers who were assisting in the defense were swept into space before they could save themselves.
And the fierce enemy ship marines finally broke through the fire blockade of the battleship's outer area and frantically killed in.
"I order you as a commissioner of the Secret Service of the Second Federal Military District! Retreat into the warehouse area and regroup the defenses! ”
Seeing that he couldn't do anything, Qin Feng threw away the explosive arrow gun in his hand that had run out of ammunition, pulled out a high-frequency combat blade, and rushed forward.
His colleagues finally wavered and did not act, after realizing that it was pointless to hold on here, and that they were already at a complete disadvantage after the continuous destruction of the outer life support facilities and heavy weapons.
Unlike the Icarus crew with little combat experience, they were all veterans of a hundred battles secretly dispatched by the military headquarters, and even the most idiots knew that this operation could not be missed after seeing the cargo transported by the Icarus in the core warehouse area.
They are indeed equally afraid of death, but they are even more afraid of what kind of harsh criticism and shame their descendants will suffer if this mission fails!
And at this time, even if it was difficult to retreat, the enemy ships and marines had already been killed, and many sections had completely shown a dog-tooth situation.
From a distance, you can see that a scarred power armor is holding a high-frequency combat blade in front of one of the breaches.
In just a few minutes, the body was already covered with the wreckage of the Marines, almost blocking the passage here.
But there are too many gaps that have been broken, and the number of marines who have frantically poured into the ship is too great to kill.
Inside the spaceship, which is separated by countless alloy walls, countless tragic battles are starting at the same time, and the Marine Corps' special super-large caliber armor-piercing bullets, particle beam jets, high-heat grenades and other high-destruction weapons are wantonly exerting their power, injuring the enemy, scorching the bulkheads, making a snorting sound, and everywhere are the eroded holes and smoke and dust fired by the weapons.
However, the enemy marines continued to pounce frantically like bloodthirsty wolves.
These androids derived from the genetic prototype of the First Empire, but because of the lack of genetic potions and related organ modification surgeries, their combat power is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, but after being brainwashed by the Sakura Society, they have become fearless of death.
The long trial of death gave them the same high mobility and super melee combat ability, even if they were just wearing the most ordinary hazmat suits, they could kill the power armor-wearing captains of the Icarus by numbering them.
If it weren't for a large number of veterans of the military region who were secretly dispatched here like Qin Feng, any unit of the Federation at this moment would probably be overwhelmed by the Cherry Blossom Society, a group of marines who are not afraid of death.
The defense of the passage and the outer layer of the battleship lasted only more than three minutes, and it was completely captured, and the enemy marines held the major gaps, and the entire outer layer was also plunged into the most brutal and bloody white-knuckle battle.
Outside the starry sky, the Icarus has not given up the shelling, but at this distance, the main gun is useless, and the Ferrero gun is also weakened due to the fact that the radiation load limit is occupied too much by the force field shield, and the power has been greatly reduced compared to the beginning.
The deck outside the warehouse area to the west has almost been captured, smoke billowing from it everywhere, and many of the components have begun to disintegrate in the explosion.
If it continues to be blocked by enemy ships and marines on three sides, I am afraid that as long as the energy supply channel in the ship explodes autonomously, the lives of the vast majority of people present will be lost.
Looking at the enemy marines in front of him who were fierce and not afraid of death, Qin Feng in the power armor was already sweating like a pulp, numbly slashing, in just a few minutes, he didn't know how many enemy marines he had cut down, he only knew that if this stalemate continued, maybe it wouldn't take three minutes, no, maybe he would die the next moment.
And at this moment, Zhou Yuehong's order finally came from the communication channel, the order to retreat to the warehouse area.
"Everyone, join me and fight back to the warehouse area!"
Qin Feng threw all the magnetic storm grenades on his body at once, creating a short gap.
Although the rank is only a small lieutenant, his previous fierce posture as a husband has also impressed many officers.
As his voice fell, the retreating Federation officers who had already been killed miraculously gnawed back the little passage space bit by bit.
Countless figures fought anxiously in the small space, colliding with each other violently, some power armor completely disintegrated, and some sparks splashed in all directions, directly detonating all the magnetic storm grenades on their bodies, turning into a large firework, and returning to nothingness with the enemies in front of them.
And the high intensity of sacrifice finally allowed them to rely on their lives to kill through a way to escape back to the warehouse area, and they relied on the metal gates that blocked the interval one after another to get some respite.
However, after the previous high-intensity defensive battle, a mixed brigade of more than 6,000 people was no longer alive, and almost everyone was injured! Even on the way back to the warehouse area, there were serious injuries who fell to the ground and passed away.
If the news of the war here spreads, it is likely to shock the whole Federation, because even in the era of full-scale civil war of mankind, such a tragic battle loss ratio is extremely rare.
There was an aura of despair in the entire rout, the difference between the enemy and our forces was too huge, even if the supporting fleet was already on the way, how long could Icarus hold on to his current condition?
Even if they themselves fled back to the warehouse area, they were afraid that it would be useless, and the sound of explosions could not be heard behind them, which was the sound of enemy marines blasting and blocking the gates.
They have no time to build fortifications, and they have little physical strength or ammunition left, and I am afraid that the next time they meet the enemy will be their death.
And at this moment, a colleague's exclamation came from the military channel, "Whose troops are you in front of?" Has the formation of fortifications already begun by troops? ”
Everyone who was originally physically and mentally exhausted was shocked in unison, and Qin Feng looked up.
Really!
At the end of the field of vision, a reflective metallic steel defense line towered between the narrow warehouse passages, their whole body was welded by the alloy plate of the hatch that was removed from nowhere, and countless different types of heavy weapons stood during the period, looking from a distance, like a cold steel fortress!
