Chapter 229, Phoenix's New Blood's First Battle

The so-called C7 area is not the urban area defined by the Polar Industrial City itself, but a part of the combat area divided by the Alliance Staff when formulating the combat plan according to the map of the Polar Industrial City obtained by the nuns in the early stage and their own combat habits.

In terms of the industrial city itself, this should be the location of a raw material warehouse somewhere in the Polar Industry.

At the same time, this C7 area is also a place that the nuns of the Holy Lily of Mercy focused on during the early investigation.

According to the intelligence obtained in the early stage, there may be a secret underground space under this area.

The nuns are basically convinced that this is the headquarters of the original Angry Owl Sect.

These cultists played a trick of hiding the dark under the lamp and built their headquarters underground in the storage center of the Polar Industry.

Obviously, their infiltration of the Polar Industry is quite good. After hiding for so long, even Pierre, the president of the group, did not know about this space.

The nuns were able to get this information by digging it out from the mouths of the high-level personnel of the original Angry Owl Sect who had been captured many times in the periphery before.

Even so, there are still many areas of doubt, and it is not necessarily confirmed that it is this C7 area.

However, in the current raid on the Polar Industrial City, the resistance of C7 area is particularly firm.

This firmness has never changed after Pierre, as the president of the group, spoke.

That's very strange.

After gradually sweeping away the resistance in other areas, thirty combat nuns under Grit's command went to investigate the four areas that they also suspected to be the underground headquarters of the original Angry Owl Sect, and found nothing special.

There are indeed traces of cult activities there, and even many were caught alive on the spot.

However, in terms of scale, it is definitely not related to the "headquarters". It is probably just a few areas that are deliberately set up, plus some contact points.

To be honest, their hiding ability is very strong, so that the combat nuns can only confirm five suspected areas in almost a year of investigation, and they are not sure whether any one is real.

However... what's the use of hiding well?

All the means of hiding the original Angry Owl Sect probably never thought that one day they would encounter a situation of turning the table over.

Who has the time to check which of your five possible areas is real and which is fake? If we destroy one, we are afraid that we will alert you and make you move.

We will directly take down the entire Polar Industrial City, and take it down when no one can react. We will block the way out of the city to transfer the base, and then the regular army will attack the five areas at the same time.

Caught off guard, they can't run away, and they can't really be wiped out like this. The cultists who have been hiding very secretly before finally can't hide at all.

Area C7, as the headquarters, has been exposed.

They even broke the jar and some cultists with special abilities put on blue robes openly, and used some simple but useful storm magic to block the attack of the alliance soldiers.

If it weren't for these blue robes, the 31st Airborne Division would not have been helpless here, and even left more than 200 bodies, which made Lieutenant Colonel Drake very angry, and even wanted to take it down himself.

Of course, he was dissuaded by Thadius in the name of the commander-in-chief.

The 31st Airborne Division is not completely impossible to deal with, however, even with the assistance of the Air Force, the soldiers still have to go in to explore the complex indoor environment when they reach the underground part.

There is no need to waste the lives of soldiers in the face of cultists with evil magic abilities.

Now, there are more professional teams in the Polar Industrial City to deal with this situation.

At this moment, there are a total of four teams gathered at the blockade line of Area C7.

There is only one team belonging to the Alliance military: the special warfare elites of the 10th Brigade.

This time, they came with more than 500 people.

Almost half of the entire 10th Brigade.

The remaining half was incorporated into the expeditionary force, and it is estimated that they have already arrived at Black Arrow Star.

And the remaining three, strictly speaking, do not belong to the Alliance military.

Not to mention the battle sisters, they can't even be considered members of the Alliance.

There are twelve Phoenix Space Warriors.

In addition to the four century-old veterans who have experienced the Atonement Expedition, there are eight more, all of whom are new blood in the regiment.

At present, there are actually more than 30 new bloods of the Phoenix. But these new bloods were discovered and cultivated by the Governor one after another. The latter batches are not yet "mature", and the superhuman organs in their bodies have not grown completely.

Even the first three batches, a total of 12 people, have been implanted with gene seeds for half a year, but only eight have completed the growth of superhuman organs.

Especially the "black shell", which is usually the last one to grow out of the 19 superhuman organs. The black shell generates nerve bundles inward, connecting with the brain and many different organs of the body; and outward, it will form many insertion points on the body surface, which can be connected with the power armor.

This is why the power armor of the Space Marines is called their second skin. In a sense, the power armor really grows with the Space Marines.

They control the power armor just like controlling a part of their own limbs. Without the assistance of the black shell, the power armor of the Space Marines is almost completely useless.

Neither other mortals nor elite troops such as the Battle Sisters can use real Space Marine power armor and can only use adapted force feedback power armor.

These eight have grown black carapace, marking the mature new blood. Now they can wear the externally painted power armor that the Governor bought last time, and fight side by side with their predecessors.

Martins took them all with him on this mission.

He must admit that the new blood of the battle group trained by the Governor in his miraculous way that even makes people dare not delve into it is very high in terms of pure technical and tactical level, even surpassing that of previous battle groups. The level of recruits trained during the heyday. (T1 level training)

However, no matter how mature the technical and tactical levels are, the experience of war, the instinct of war, and the mentality honed in countless battles cannot be achieved by any simple training.

Only if you have personally experienced blood and fire.

Then come and experience the battle.

As for the fourth team, it belongs to a new organization of the alliance - the Heretic Demon Hunters.

A mysterious team of fifty people.

Currently, the total number of personnel in the entire action team is approximately 600.

Chapter Master Martins Salas was the commander-in-chief of special operations and was responsible for the mission to ultimately annihilate the original Order of the Wrathful Owls.

Sister Gerrit, the highest counselor.

The other teams are all under the command of these two.

If necessary, Martins could contact the campaign commander Brigadier General Thaddeus at any time. The latter will do its best to meet all Martins' requirements.

And now, Martins and Gerrit were standing at the front of the entire team, chatting about something.

"I didn't expect that your ability to persuade people is so strong." Martins showed a slight smile on his face.

Garrett responded seriously: "No, I never showed off my eloquence when facing President Pierre. I just told the actual situation one by one. He is not an irredeemable person. Fool, when all the fait accompli was in front of him, he made the right choice, that's all."

"But that's the point, isn't it? Being able to weave facts into a reasonable way and put them in front of reasonable people is an excellent ability in itself."

Gritte glanced at him sideways: "Captain Martins, do you have to praise me today?"

"Hahaha!" Martins said with a smile, "I'm not flattering, I'm just telling the facts."

Gerrit also showed a smile: "Then thank you for being so honest."

Suddenly, a slight "didi" sound sounded in their ears at the same time.

This is a signal that the time for action agreed upon earlier has arrived.

The two of them suppressed all the emotions on their faces at the same time and put on their helmets. At this point, the only auras left in their bodies were ice and fire.

"Action...begin!"

…

"Action...begin!"

Listening to the Chapter Commander's orders from the communication signal in his helmet, Anato waved his hand coldly and led the team forward.

To be honest, this is his first actual battle.

Although he had experienced first-hand in his past training that he was no longer the same skinny boy who had fled from the Qinggu area, he still felt nervous.

However, no matter how nervous he was, his expression, words, and actions would not show it at all.

He is the Phoenix, he is the Emperor's Angel of Death, he is the Governor's most powerful warrior.

He deserves to be the best!

At this moment, he was accompanied by thirty special operations elites wearing exoskeleton armor and three demon hunters wearing special leather armor.

They were the first vanguard team to advance.

He galloped forward and rushed to the front.

When a certain line is crossed, the enemy's counterattack begins immediately.

The storage building in front is about five to six meters above the ground, with many shooting windows opened from the inside. The traitors who were holding on inside should have temporarily built shooting platforms in those places.

After sensing another Alliance attack, many of those shooting platforms opened fire.

Some kind of earth-made heavy machine gun emits fire "click-click-click".

These tight shooting windows had caused many casualties to the soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division a few hours ago.

But at this moment, in front of Anatole, it was meaningless.

He had already observed these shooting windows. When he vaguely saw figures flashing inside, the bolt gun in his hand shot the bolts into those windows first.

The sound of 'bang bang bang' explosions prevented the seven or eight shooting windows from emitting any light in an instant.

And if the remaining tongues of fire fell on him, they would never be able to penetrate the protection of the power armor.

Instead, the bright gunfire pointed out the direction of their attack.

Anato didn't even need to do anything. The special operations elites accompanying him took out the individual rocket launchers that had been prepared long ago. When the Space Marines in front helped them attract firepower, they fired the rocket launchers mercilessly. Into those shooting holes.

The enemy's troublesome counterattack window was completely blocked.

In a quick step, Anato had arrived at the closed door.

This place was once hit by the company-level firepower of the 31st Airborne Division. At present, the Alliance has been promoting the distribution of heavy bolters as fixed firepower points to company-level units.

Heavy bombs and 88-caliber mortars have bombed here. This was originally the side door of the storage building, which was blown up, but now it is blocked tightly by many debris.

But there is nothing to worry about.

Anato quickly ran to the side and pasted a hot melt bomb on the edge of the building wall.

Bang.

After the orange-yellow light flashed, an irregular hole of 4×4 meters appeared where the hot melt bomb touched.

At this moment, another wave of comrades also came up, also led by a Space Marine.

Anato knew him.

That was Kalia Gabriel, a new blood absorbed by the regiment a month later than him.

The two nodded to each other, and then tacitly threw tactical grenades into the cave, to the left and right.

When the explosion sounded, Anato entered first, with the muzzle pointed directly to the right.

In an instant, he found seven or eight targets.

He stepped forward to avoid blocking his combat brothers from following up, and fired while moving.

His brain quickly analyzed the threat level of these seven or eight targets, and instantly dyed these people with different colors through the built-in eyepiece of the tactical helmet.

Then, the grenade gun found these enemies one by one according to the analysis results.

The first to be killed were the three blue robes. The ability of storm magic mentioned in these intelligence may threaten the power armor;

The second is the enemy who tried to take out grenades or had individual rocket launchers, and heavy firepower is also a threat.

And those who were confused and holding ordinary guns were put at the end.

However, these things are long to say, but in fact, all of them happened almost in an instant.

From the perspective of the cultists, they saw a red giant coming in. Before they could recover from the explosion of the tactical grenade, he quickly took three or five steps forward, fired eight shots with the grenade launcher, and eight of them who dared to show their heads fell directly.

The same thing happened on the left side of the broken hole.

The two Space Marines expanded their forward positions on the spot. They occupied both sides of the hole, found temporary shelters, and suppressed anyone who might threaten the hole in the wall with the grenade launcher.

At the same time, the special warfare elites and demon hunters entered the hole one after another.

When enough people came in, they began to expand inside, slaughtering everyone who dared to appear in front of them.

At this moment, there were five additional explosions in succession from five other places in the warehouse.

The same situation as theirs happened in five other places.

Led by the Space Marines, they were the most elite group in the alliance. They broke through the warehouse defense line that had caused the 31st Airborne Division a lot of trouble and entered the warehouse with an unstoppable momentum.

The casualties in this process were minimal.
