As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

The time that can be gained in this way is still not much, maybe only one or two hours.

But it was enough to clear out the enemy forces in the tower and occupy the place. Then Zhang Ge and a few others returned to the cathedral and arrived here with the fully prepared First Mechanized Infantry Regiment.

A few minutes passed and the convoy stopped in a block near the clock tower.

If the top is lost and disturbed, the enemy forces in the tower will definitely strengthen the outer defense, and if they drive a convoy there, they will definitely be fully utilized by individual anti-vehicle weapons. The rest of the journey will have to be carried out by the infantry as the main force.

Zhang Ge took the other two people out of the car. At this time, the guards had also left the vehicle and controlled the road area with the help of armored vehicles.

After approaching the captain of the guard and making a brief plan with him, Zhang Ge decided to have ten infantry squads, excluding the vehicle drivers and weapon operators, that is, about one hundred surviving guard infantrymen, attack the nearby blocks from ten entrances.

In addition to these basic forces, there are Isis, the captain of the guard and his adjutant as the mobile forces on the left and right sides respectively. As for Zhang Ge and Dominica, they followed a team to attack the central area.

This simple tactical deployment was quickly communicated to each unit, and the guards began to move towards the attack position one by one.

There was no whistle, no heavy firepower prepared, and the locks of the doors were cut open by the monomolecular blade.

After opening the door slightly and confirming that there were no traps such as trip mines, Dominica, wearing force-feedback armor, stood on the side of the door and kicked the wooden door in front of her open, causing it to emit an explosion as a signal, and the battle for the block began.

Although the soldier holding the auspicious device and responsible for conveying information at any time had reported that there was nothing unusual before kicking the door, when Dominica kicked the door open, she was still dragged backwards by the people behind her and away from the dangerous area in front of the door, while several stun grenades were seamlessly thrown behind the door.

Of course, it's not just this place. The process in other areas is the same. The sound of stun grenades exploding and flashes can be heard, and the strong light that is enough to blind people briefly tears apart the pale pink night.

After the stun grenade exploded, the assaulter wearing heavy armor had already deployed a portable shield - this kind of shield carried on a single arm is usually used by the guards to form a shield wall to protect important personnel, but it is of course fully qualified to be used for offense in reverse - and rushed into the door at the same time.

The rest of the guards followed behind him and entered one after another.

Under strict lighting control, the room is in darkness most of the time. Only when entering, the tactical flashlight under the gun of the front-row soldier quickly switches on and off, briefly illuminating all directions in the room to obtain necessary information while trying to avoid exposing their specific location to the light.

Zhang Ge and Dominica were the last to enter the room. At this time, the soldiers who had searched everywhere no longer made any sound of movement, which was also a signal that the room was clear.

Chapter 84: Bell Tower

For the huge spire building, the area that ten people can clean at the same time is too small. Zhang Ge decided to take a little risk and let the remaining people work in pairs to clean up.

As the guards dispersed to the surrounding rooms, short bursts of Hell Gun fire could be heard from all directions. After opening another door, Zhang Ge finally saw the enemy troops here for the first time.

That was a muscular man with some rags hanging casually on his body...a human?

Looking at the deformed hands and legs of the thing in front of him, Zhang Ge felt that he should find another more appropriate word.

He was holding a heavy logging rifle in his hand, and wanted to pull the trigger immediately after seeing Zhang Ge kick the door open, but his speed was too slow compared to Dominica who was holding a gun and on guard behind Zhang Ge. Two bombs tore his chest and head apart one after another.

The final twitch of his nerves caused him to fire a few bullets from the heavy felling rifle in his hand, but the effect was just a futile scratch that produced some sparks.

It seems that these are the elite cultists who came down from the Chaos battleship. Compared with the makeshift team inside the planet, this kind of professional cultists are not only likely to have received a slight blessing, but also have certain military experience. If their numbers increase, they may even be enough to fight against the Astra Militarum.

However, until the entire outer block was cleared, Zhang Ge did not encounter a second enemy, and the other members of the team also quickly regrouped in the entrance hall one by one.

It seems that the number of enemies is smaller than expected, or there are only a few scouts deployed in the outer blocks?

Zhang Ge left the block, and the captain of the guard, Isis and the squad leaders of each team also came out one after another. It seemed that there was not much trouble in taking over the outer block.

Then, after planning the various firing points on the side of the block close to the clock tower, they pulled out half of the men to directly attack the clock tower.

Zhang Ge got on the car, and soon the sound of gunfire was heard from the other side, and the convoy started quickly.

One Chimera armored personnel carrier after another quickly turned a corner and began to face the clock tower. At this time, the guards in the outer blocks were suppressing the enemy troops who tried to show up with the continuous and accurate firepower of the Hell Gun.

Red beams flew out from every window. The hell gun rays were powerful enough to melt ceramic steel armor and even tear apart some simple shelters. The enemy's several temporary heavy bomb positions were naturally given priority. The remaining cultists holding laser guns and heavy logging guns could only organize sporadic counterattacks.

When heavy firepower from vehicle-mounted weapons joined the battle, the situation suddenly became one-sided. With the assistance of the fire control system, heavy bombs and continuous laser cannons swept across, easily melting the bunkers built of quick-drying materials, accurately taking the lives of the cultists behind them, and even melting the ceramic steel of the nearby buildings.

Dominica, who was controlling the heavy explosive bomb on the roof, felt the power of technology even more. Through the sight, she could not only see the enemy troops highlighted by thermal imaging, auspiciousness equipment and other equipment, but she could even see a thin line extending out to assist in aiming.

It seemed that all she had to do was move the thin wire up and then pull the trigger, and the explosive bombs would blow the highlighted targets into pieces - even if they were hiding behind the wall. The only difference was that it would take a little longer for the first few explosive bombs to penetrate the wall.

Of course, since the entire lighthouse is so large, even though the enemy has been suppressed as much as possible, their anti-vehicle attacks cannot be avoided.

In a dark window at the waist of the tower, the muzzle of a personal missile launcher is aimed outward, its twisted soul biting the palm of whoever holds it until the trigger is pulled, spraying pink flames and sending the missiles flying out, rushing madly towards the Chimeras below that are heading towards the lighthouse.

There was a loud bang, and the flames of explosion lit up from the roof of a Chimera.

The fragile roof armor could not withstand the missile's direct hit for even half a second. The occupants of the vehicle below were eaten and torn apart by the incoming jets, and blood, flesh, and limbs were scattered all over the space inside the vehicle.

But this scene did not last long. As if with self-awareness, the high-temperature jet even actively stuck to the vehicle's ammunition rack. The moment the two came into contact, a chain reaction occurred from the inside out.

The high temperature and high pressure turned into a gushing column of fire, and the entire turret of the Chimera was thrown high into the air. All this happened so quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.

An intact Chimera was reduced to charcoal along with its crew. The vehicles behind it had no choice but to circle around it and fire at it again to prevent the people inside from suffering unnecessary pain in the flames.

When they were within a hundred meters of the bottom of the tower, the convoy dispersed, and smoke bombs were emitted from each vehicle. In the spreading thick fog, the infantry quickly jumped out of the vehicles.

As the guards relied on armored vehicles to cover each other as they walked the last hundred meters, a large number of grenades were poured into windows or behind doors. The muffled sound of offensive grenades continued to be heard, and the powerful shock waves released could even be felt outside the door.

At the front, Isis took the lead and rushed in before the assaulters in the rear could get into position. Shortly after him, the guards also formed their own formations and rushed into the clock tower.

Zhang Ge was a little special, because after a simple visual inspection, he discovered a problem: since this light armored vehicle was smaller than the Chimeras, it could just fit into the main gate.

What happened next is self-evident. Behind the most strictly guarded main gate, there were a large number of cultists, armed with all kinds of firearms, who would open fire without hesitation if there was any unusual noise at the door.

However, as the "strange noise" approached at an unexpectedly fast speed, they just raised their guns and heard a crisp sound of something being smashed, and then a light armored vehicle broke through the thick wooden gate without slowing down.

As a large amount of wood chips flew everywhere, the two headlights projected extremely bright light like a small sun, illuminating the entire space ahead while blinding anyone who dared to look directly at it.

In this narrow space for vehicles, the light armored vehicle not only drove extremely flexibly, but also crushed the cultists who did not have time to dodge into broken corpses under its wheels at high speed.

The sound of heavy bolter gunfire, as if coming from hell, also rang out immediately, and the high-pitched engine sounds and dull gunshots echoed together, tearing apart the main gate defense carefully arranged by the cultists in an almost brutal manner.

Chapter 85: Switching from Offense to Defense

As the vehicle rushed into the room, a large number of lasers and automatic bullets came towards the vehicle. The originally intact bulletproof glass of the front window of the vehicle suddenly exploded into countless cracks. The sounds of explosions and live bullets hitting the vehicle body were endless, and there were also several explosions and shrapnel caused by the wheels running over the traps.

However, the bulletproof glass, which was strong enough to intercept a single shot from a Space Marine's grenade launcher, was shaky but never shattered. It was not until a grenade was hung on the hood of the car that the sudden shock wave and a large amount of shrapnel finally broke it down, turning it into crystal fragments that shattered inside the car.

But before the cultists could further penetrate Zhang Ge's armor, the guards rushed up from all sides. Their defense line, which had already been forcibly broken through, had to retreat and reorganize with the addition of more than twenty corpses.

Without any extra words, the guards went upstairs. At the same time, Amelia, who was on the rooftop and noticed the sound of gunfire below, also began to clear out.

Under attack from both sides, although the cultists fought frantically until the last man, the actual gap between the two sides was too big, especially when Amelia was responsible for forcibly breaking through the first layer of defense and eliminating the heavy firepower, this resistance only made their powerlessness seem more apparent.

Both the Hell Spear and Amelia's sword could easily tear their bodies apart, while the weapons in their hands could hardly pose an effective threat to Carapace and Amelia.

After just over twenty minutes, the noisy fighting gradually subsided.

While the soldiers were clearing the remaining rooms, Zhang Ge and others arrived at the rooftop.

Due to the power limitations of the equipment the fleet can carry, most precision instruments within a limited range will have errors in long-distance detection due to subspace interference. Therefore, the reconnaissance method has returned to its most primitive form.

In the shadow of the wreckage, an optical telescope is being assembled piece by piece.

Of course, although the structure is extremely primitive, simple and reliable, the production process is not the same.

Simple lenses, extreme magnification. This device seems as ordinary as his predecessors tens of thousands of years ago, but in fact the optical lenses are ground with atomic level precision.

Through this telescope, Zhang Ge also saw the firefight area and the deployment of the Chaos troops in the distance.

On the one hand, in front, one can see that the explosions caused by the falling shells are constantly penetrating into the void shield area, but judging from the flames of the explosions, these shells are obviously not Chaos artillery.

Then the answer is obvious.

The Chaos offensive in the front is advancing at a visible pace. Although the Hive City defense forces may have tried their best, they are still unable to stop the attack led by Chaos Space Marines.

The battle line was retreating step by step, so that the landing point of our own artillery fire had to move backwards as well.

On the other hand, in the rear, a large number of cultists and rebellious civilians were visible to the naked eye, protecting the arrowhead of the attack. A large number of reinforcements, demons, blasphemous machines and supplies were being transported from here to the front troops.

From a high vantage point, it looks almost like a giant arrow.

The metal tip is made up of elite Chaos Space Marines, while the outer side of the arrow, which stretches as the arrow penetrates deeper, is made up of the relatively fragile cultists.

This was pretty much what Zhang Ge had expected. It was more like this: since elite offensive forces could not be created out of thin air, this kind of trade-off was inevitable.

Just as Zhang Ge handed the telescope to the captain of the guards and asked him to further observe the key points of the enemy position, Dominica, who had just been rummaging through the ruins on the roof, came over with something in her hand and said:

"I think you should take a look at this."

She handed something that looked like a light bulb to Zhang Ge, who took it in his hand and fumbled around, and quickly found the switch.

It really seems like it's just a light bulb?

After careful examination, Zhang Ge found nothing special about this thing except some blasphemous symbols.

However, if this was really a light bulb, it would be too conspicuous if it was turned on at night, so Zhang Ge did not turn on the switch for further verification.

Wait, conspicuous?

If we just cut off contact, on the one hand, since this place is close to the enemy's deep territory, their vigilance will be lower. On the other hand, the influence of the subspace is so strong that if there is no special equipment, it is normal to cut off contact for twenty or thirty minutes.

Even if some of the fish that escaped the net on the periphery ran back to report the news, they did not have long-distance communication equipment, and needed to ensure that they could walk back safely... The time it took to reach the destination might be measured in hours.

Therefore, even if we are pessimistic, the safe time will be about an hour.

But what if the enemy has double insurance?

At regular intervals, while confirming with the communication equipment, they also confirm the secret code with each other through the brightness of the light bulb. If there is a problem with the former, it can be regarded as an accident for a short time. If there is a problem with the latter, could it be that the person who sent the secret code forgot it?

Just forget it and remember it clearly in your next life.

In this case, it is likely that the safety time is greatly shortened.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ge asked Dominica:

"Where did you find this?"

She pointed to a corpse and replied:

"When I was shooting them again, I noticed the corpse's hand stretched forward, pointing to a small pile of rubble ahead, so I went inside to look for it and found this."

Hearing this answer, Zhang Ge did not hesitate any longer and said to Amelia:

"You go ahead and have that noble bring all the reinforcements she can, quickly. Then return to the cathedral and tell the person I've entrusted with the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment to gather the troops and come here as well."

After Zhang Ge confirmed the identification information of the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment to Amelia, she quickly turned into a flying star that flew into the distance and disappeared into the darkness.

Turning back, approaching the captain of the guards, patting him on the shoulder, Zhang Ge continued:

"Let's go, stop looking and get people ready to defend. The Chaos counterattack troops will be here soon."

The three of them had just left the top of the tower.

In the sky, the whistling sound of artillery shells could be heard.

The first projectile made contact with the ceramic steel wall, and energy and countless flesh and blood gushed out from the bullet head.

The vibrating shock wave swept through the entire tower like an earthquake, and the light pink mist released after the white-hot explosion lingered and sprinkled down. Countless little demons cheered and began to grow and crawl from the pink flesh that clung to the outer wall.

The second and third bombs followed, and the bombardment easily lifted the ceramic steel structure layer by layer like a piece of paper. The deafening explosion rolled back throughout the entire tower structure, hitting everyone's eardrums like thunder mixed with blasphemous words.

With each explosion and each flash of light, the moonlight in the sky seemed to be replaced by something, as if it was being cast from high above, staring at everyone.

ps: I am the golden cudgel, very long, very long.

Chapter 86: Trapped Beast

The sound of artillery bombardment continued in the rear, but Zhang Ge had already guessed that the Chaos side would try to counterattack and retake the bell tower. The troops originally in the tower dispersed into the surrounding blocks to avoid suffering heavy losses in the artillery bombardment before the enemy attack.

When the sound of the shells hitting the ground paused for a moment, the bell tower was cut off by another section, and a large amount of flesh carpets were spread on the upper part of the tower. As it gradually spread downwards, little demons were born from it.

Abandon the clock tower?

Obviously not, because the area around the clock tower is one of the few open areas nearby, and the final defense must rely on it.

But apparently being wrapped in those meat blankets wouldn't end well either.

Zhang Ge thought for a moment and asked the captain of the guard:

"Are the guards equipped with incendiary bombs?"

"Have."
