Chapter 1302: Fighting on the battlefield to recapture the center (9)
Several quad-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns were hidden in the narrow open space in the mountains. The camouflage net covering them almost blended into the nearby gray snow. Only when it fired could its location be found from the source of intertwined tracer bullets.
And when these dense rain of tracer bullets flew past the window, no one would be nervous.
People sitting in the crew cabin could hear the popping sound of bullets hitting the shield. Even the Manta Ray could not avoid all attacks at low altitude.
However, the landing time will not be delayed because of this. Hall just reminded loudly, ‘Thirty seconds! ’, then it’s really thirty seconds.
From time to time, there would be orange flashes mixed in the tracer bullets that would shine into the crew cabin. It might be that the anti-aircraft firepower point was exploded, but the personnel in the cabin couldn't see clearly.
Immediately afterwards, they felt that the Manta seemed to be drifting, and at that moment they heard the short scream of the servo motor, but then disappeared with the blue light emitted by the ion beam.
The Manta's drift is not to show off its skills, but to use this method to quickly slow down and land easily. At this point, America helicopter pilots often did this during the Vietnam War.
The commandos, who were so shaken that their brains were about to fly out, felt that the Manta was stabilizing and rapidly descending.
Finally, there was a soft sound of "empty", which should be the sound of the landing gear under the fuselage falling to the ground, and then the tail hatch opened.
"Quick, quick! We can't stay here!"
The confused people did not hear the flaws in Hall's words. For example, she was the only one in the cockpit, so why did she talk about us.
Everyone held up their helmets, unbuckled their seat belts, and ran down the hatch with their guns in hand.
Their current location is over 4,000 meters above sea level and the temperature is below minus 20 degrees. However, all of them are wearing heavy-duty protective suits with bulletproof functions. There is no problem entering the void. There is no need to worry about being frozen into ice here. .
The man closest to the hatch came down first with his gun, aiming at anything moving within range and firing.
Only then did they notice that this was a very wide platform, and they could even see a road going down the mountain on the other side.
There are traces of charring or burning in the nearby snow. Judging from the shape of the wreckage, they should be the bodies of anti-aircraft machine guns and the people who controlled these weapons. They were most likely scorched by the Manta's ion beam. .
When the shadow tiger at the end of the queue came down, the Manta took off immediately without even having time to close the hatch. Hall's voice came from the external speaker:
"I see enemy infantry troops approaching you, act as soon as possible!"
Before he finished speaking, a shell from a 70-80mm caliber anti-aircraft gun probably hit the Manta. The suddenly lit up shield failed to absorb all the impact. The Manta was like a hit billiard ball. , rolled and fell towards the cliff on the other side. Due to the high altitude and poor visibility, it was not clear whether the Manta Ray escaped death or not.
Everyone has no time to care about the Manta Ray. Their situation is even more dangerous.
"Put down the anti-infantry mines and let's go in quickly."
Sophia was the commander of this commando team. She pulled Shanafia who wanted to lie on the edge of the cliff to look down, and called on everyone to act quickly.
The members of the commando team are either from the Special Marine Group to which Lieutenant Duy belongs, or from the Planetary Defense Force to which Lieutenant Cao Wei belongs.
One is too relaxed in daily life, and the other belongs to the armed police force. Neither of them has received training from the special forces. It does seem unreliable for them to execute the break-in plan.
However, this group of people had done many temporary exercises on the Swan. As the saying goes, if you don't sharpen your guns quickly in battle, it will be useless, but it still has some effect. Amidst the smoke and dust caused by the snow powder blown by the strong wind, several people quickly placed the mines with the words "This is the enemy" on the only way to pass, and then quickly followed the large army.
The warning advanced about ten meters, and a huge black shadow emerged from the flying snow in the sky and appeared in the field of vision. If you look closer, you will find that it is a tall tower that you need to raise your head hard to see the top.
This is one of the control centers of the Stargate. It has a hexagonal structure when viewed from top to bottom, but its height is close to three hundred meters, not counting the huge antenna towering at the top.
As long as it can be connected to the Star Gate, there is no problem in building the control center anywhere, but we must also consider places that are easy to defend and sparsely populated.
Therefore, the control center was built in a high-altitude area, getting higher and higher.
There are a total of six control centers with the same style of painting, distributed at different angles on this habitable planet, and Sophia and the others only arrived at one of them.
Walking a few steps further, you can see a huge airlock door and about thirty steps. On both sides of the steps are two automatic turrets that are smoking and melted in many places. Just now in Manta Ray The orange flash seen on the ship should have it.
Shadow Tiger, who was guarded in the center, walked a few steps quickly, touched the control panel on the side of the door, and stepped forward to enter the password.
It stands to reason that since the Red Maple Republic has occupied this place for several months, the password to the gate will definitely be changed. But after Yinghu entered the password, the door immediately opened, and he didn't know where he got the password.
All I can say is that Kingsman is really awesome.
Perhaps due to the cold weather, the door opened a little slowly, accompanied by a clicking sound, like the sound of breaking ice.
At this time, the people squatting in front of the door on guard heard the sound of a landmine exploding, plus a few screams.
"Aim your gun and fire immediately if anyone approaches."
The door still has a few seconds to open, and the pursuers are already approaching.
When a vague human shadow appeared in the wind and snow, everyone opened fire immediately. The dense bullets knocked down several of them on the spot, but the opponent's counterattack soon arrived.
However, due to poor visibility, the warheads crackled on the steps, but Sophia and the others were currently in a position without cover. Once too many enemy infantry rushed over, there would inevitably be attrition.
At the critical moment, everyone saw the light of the engine rising from the cliff on one side in the wind and snow, followed immediately by the 20mm cannon fire.
Amidst the hazy explosions, the Manta blew away the wind and snow and opened fire in the direction of the incoming infantry like a plow.
"The door is open! Come in, everyone!"
Finally, the huge airlock door with complex structure was opened.
Everyone fired back and quickly retreated into the door.
Shadow Tiger found the switch to close the door and immediately dropped it.
The door began to execute the closing procedure, blocking the flying bullets but also blocking the image of the Manta. The last thing everyone saw was that the Manta was once again attacked by an unknown anti-aircraft gun. The shell hit, the shield was penetrated, the engine on one side exploded and caught fire, and the scene of falling crookedly against the cliff...
