Chapter 322 A difficult victory

"The enemy is retreating! Keep moving forward!"

The Gorgon personnel carrier was advancing against the enemy's artillery fire, and the Krieg soldiers in the carriage were holding weapons and preparing to go.

"We're here!" As Officer Krieger's order sounded, the soldiers quickly got out of the vehicle and entered the position.

The knight mecha crossed over the enemy's position, facing the enemy's fierce artillery fire and outputting the wrath of Ohm's Messiah.

"Our opponents are not living things at all! They are just a group of walking corpses!"

These were the last words of the Star Alliance officers on the position. With the sounds of bayonets piercing flesh, the second line of defense fell into the hands of the Empire.

Listening to the screams of the Star Alliance commanders in the second line of defense, the few remaining Star Alliance officers in the fortress looked at each other. Everyone knew that they were at the end of their strength, but they were unwilling to admit this fact.

"We must fight desperately here! Exchange our lives for the enemy's lives! We must kill at least more than 10 human soldiers before we die! We will die well!"

These Star Alliance soldiers are ready for the last stand. They have moved their positions underground. The huge underground fortress is enough to scare any enemy, and this is also the confidence for them to continue defensive operations.

"Use the advantage of our huge underground base! Fight these humans to the death! Fight until the last soldier is left!"

The roaring voice of Star Alliance officers sounded in the conference room, and the remaining tens of thousands of Star Alliance soldiers huddled in this underground fortress, ready to deal with human raids at any time.

Facing the enemy's underground fortress, Krieg naturally had a specialized response method. Dozens of Pluto breakthrough drilling machines advanced rapidly underground.

The Pluto Breakthrough Drill is a piece of engineering equipment used by the Imperium of Man for both military and civilian purposes.

This drill is commonly used in the Empire's mining world to help miners dig new mining tunnels to find mineral deposits and remove rubble and debris.

However, this is also a special vehicle for the Krieg Death Legion, and other Astra Militarum have also used the Pluto Drill.

Once used in combat, its main task is to drill tunnels under enemy positions or to break through fortifications.

The Pluto breakthrough drill has a forward-firing fusion cutter that can turn rock and metal into molten slag in seconds, as well as four large diamond drills that can quickly crush rock into rubble. The gravel is then transported out via a conveyor belt on the chassis.

Typically engineers would spend weeks or months digging a tunnel beneath an enemy position before launching a carefully planned attack.

Then, after moving stealthily into position, use the Pluto drill to zip through the last few yards of rock to your target.

Then, Imperial troops would swarm out of the breach to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.

The vehicle, while slow and clunky, can still serve as an improvised weapon once on the ground, thanks to the Pluto Drill's ability to cut through almost any material.

These targets will be quickly chewed up by Hades. These targets include but are not limited to bunkers, defensive buildings, walls, and even armored vehicles and infantry.

However, the Pluto drill is not a real weapon after all, but just a piece of civil engineering equipment and is not suitable as a common weapon.

Therefore, when attacking a heavily guarded fortress or fortress, using a Pluto drill requires extremely high losses, and it can only be used by the Imperial military at the last minute.

"go ahead!"

Deep underground, the Pluto drilling machine with a terrifying shape was frantically excavating the soil, and terrifying sounds were heard underground.

The political commissar looked at the timer in his hand, then turned to the messenger beside him and said: "Please inform me, we will reach the destination in 5 minutes, so be ready for battle."

The Krieg soldiers with weapons in hand quickly prepared themselves. Following the drill were a considerable number of armored forces and groups of Krieg soldiers.

"what sound?"

The Star Alliance soldiers on alert never expected that the human army would break out from underground. Most of the troops were placed below the ground entrance. There were only a few bunkers and a few small teams stationed deep in the fortress.

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

With the roar of the drill engine, the cement of the underground fortress instantly collapsed, and terrifying sawtooths appeared in front of the Star Alliance soldiers.

"What…………"

Before the Star Alliance soldiers could even react, countless Krieg soldiers had already poured in along the dug passage.

Krieg sappers holding shotguns filed in. The terrifyingly powerful shotguns in their hands could even send a Space Marine recruit flying.

These Starfleet soldiers with energy swords are like primitive people. They tried to get closer but were shattered by the weapons in the hands of Krieg soldiers.

At this time, the Star Alliance soldiers stationed above began to return to the rescue below, but how could the Empire let them leave.

The Krieg soldiers holding engineer shovels began to charge. The heavy firepower focused on destroying several enemy fire points. The Krieg soldiers surrounded the enemy in the fortress from both below and above.

Under the horrified gazes of countless Star Alliance soldiers, the Krieg soldiers entered the underground fortress under the cover of powerful firepower.

At this time, the battle inside the fortress was over. Tens of thousands of Krieg engineers killed hundreds of Star Alliance elites. The armor of ordinary Star Alliance soldiers could not stop the shotguns in the hands of the Krieg engineers. They were killed one after another. He was killed and fell to the cold ground.

In the narrow passage, the Krieg soldiers holding shotguns had a natural advantage. They quickly passed through the iron gates made of cold steel one after another, and then quickly swept through corners one after another as a team.

The remaining Star Alliance soldiers were forced into a corner, suppressed by the Krieg soldiers and unable to lift their heads.

"We have lost, and we will commit suicide to prove our loyalty to the Star Alliance!" The leading Star Alliance officer said and stabbed the energy sword into his abdomen.

With the suicide of the last dozen Star Alliance elites, the final battle on this planet officially ended.

The Ministry of Military Affairs calculated in subsequent statistics that nearly 299 million combat robots were damaged on the planet Vraks, thousands of fighter jets of various types, and 5 large landing craft were destroyed.

而克里格兵团，第88攻城团最后的损失是75万3千5百人，大半的第88攻城团的部队在这里损失了，这75万多忠诚的灵魂魂归到了神圣帝皇的身侧。

Except for the main force, 5 Knight mechas were destroyed, and the remaining Astra Militarum troops suffered a total of nearly 20 casualties.

This battle was recorded by the Ministry of Military Affairs and then stored in the Imperial Archives.
