Chapter 1851 The final descent operation
The battle plan of the Spinning Water Federation is particularly detailed, but in general it can be divided into three steps.
The first step is to defeat the main fleet. The second step is to capture the satellite or at least completely suppress it and use it as a springboard. The third step is to break through the atmosphere and descend to fight, destroy the leadership center, and end this war.
It was equivalent to laying siege to Berlin, bombarding the city, and planting a red flag on the Reichstag.
Xi'er must be familiar with this plot.
The task of continuing to suppress the satellite can be handed over to the royalists. This should be the result of consultation with the headquarters. After all, if this place is occupied by the Spinning Water Federation, it will be very troublesome to get it back during future negotiations.
It's a bit like America always stationing troops in Ryukyu, which is difficult to deal with.
After receiving the order, the Swan and hundreds of warships in the cruiser formation recovered their carrier-based aircraft and turned around, flying towards the earth-like planet as the capital.
"Disengage pulse flight and confirm enemy Planetary Defense Force fire."
"Pay attention to evasive navigation. Let us deal with them quickly and clear the way for the assault landing ship."
Just after breaking away from the pulse flight, I immediately saw a row of ion beams flying over. But having said that, the firepower density was actually too sparse and weak in front of a fleet of hundreds of battleships.
The Swan fired the first shot first, and the shipboard computer quickly provided the data, which was then synchronized to other friendly forces.
Immediately afterwards, there was a volley of fire.
The Planetary Defense Force warships in low-Earth orbit were submerged almost instantly. Alyssa didn't care how many there were. Anyway, after a salvo, the red signal on the radar had completely disappeared.
"Notify all warships that they are about to enter fire control. Unless a space station or civilian ship in orbit launches an attack, unauthorized firing is not allowed. Violators will be dealt with by a military court."
Suppressing the ground was planned from the beginning, but how to suppress it and where to suppress it were all details that needed to be discussed.
The royalists don't want everything to be smashed, and the Spinning Water Federation doesn't want to do this either. Not to mention how much manpower and material support it will take to smash everything, the casualties of the ground troops in the process may be unbearable.
Therefore, the location and scope of the descent are restricted, and attacks on the space station are also restricted. After all, this is the end of the war, and leaving a reputation of massacring civilians is not a good thing for international public opinion.
The Swan leads hundreds of warships to sail on the extreme route captured by gravity. Only ships confirmed by the database to be warships will be attacked.
Since the Spinning Water Federation has reached the door, a large number of people are trying to escape by boat. From time to time, they can see space capsules brought up by mass accelerators, as well as civilian ships departing from the space port.
Coupled with the Red Maple Republic fleet, which relied on the capital star for defense, the orbit was quite lively.
Alyssa didn't need to worry about the fleet. She needed to restrain her battleships from firing at civilian facilities, and clean up the remaining Planetary Defense ships, approaching the planned landing site.
As for the surrender signal from the Planetary Defense ship?
Impossible, the Red Maple Republic is so powerful, it is impossible for any army to surrender. What? You said there is a signal? Where is it? Why didn’t I see it?
The Spinning Water Federation is indeed taking its time to fight, but it will not accept any surrender. It can only say that it will be bad luck for you if it hits you.
After successfully arriving at the scheduled location and confirming that the route was clear, a large number of assault landing ships that had been waiting in the rear arrived shortly after. The orbital bomber ship was a little slower, but it also arrived before the landing operation began.
According to intelligence, the ground forces still refused to admit defeat and were ready for a last-ditch effort. This was also a good thing, otherwise preparing so many orbital bombers would have been in vain.
At three o'clock in the afternoon local time and 8:21 standard time, the Spinwater Federation began orbital bombing.
The entire bombing process lasted for thirty minutes, and a total of 8,000 special-purpose explosive bombs were launched. The killing radius of each special-purpose orbital bombing bomb was about one kilometer, and it was scattered over an area of about 40,000 square kilometers.
Effectively destroy target fortifications, transportation facilities, energy facilities, and important facilities such as suspected headquarters or Congress. At 9:00 standard time, the lowering operation begins.
The first batch of 120 assault landing ships set off first. After breaking through the heat barrier, the second batch of 150 assault landing ships followed closely behind.
The Swan went down with the second group.
Although the Swan has the ability to descend, the headquarters did not say to let the Swan go down when it first formulated the operational plan. After all, this time we have a great advantage, and the other party is only stubbornly resisting. A storm attack on the landing ship is enough to complete the suppression task. .
But don’t forget Alyssa’s reason for joining this war. She doesn’t care about simply getting a military rank or getting a few medals. I just want to see the Red Maple Republic die!
So before the descent operation began, Alyssa communicated with the headquarters and expressed that she wanted to go down and participate in the grand event.
The headquarters didn't hesitate much. They just asked to pay attention to safety and let Alyssa do her best.
After all, it is still very safe. Alyssa, a famous figure in the war, should not have any problems. Alyssa will need to show her face at the post-war celebration banquet to boost the morale of the people.
As a result, the Swan began to descend along with the second batch of assault landing ships.
Adjusting its attitude and touching the exosphere, the Swan entered the thermal barrier zone.
All communications and radars were temporarily disabled, and the anti-aircraft guns were retracted into the armor plate. The heat generated by the fierce air friction caused a layer of scorching orange flames to attach to the bottom of the Swan.

Every time it descends, everyone is actually a little worried. The main reason is that the Swan is too big. Breaking through and entering the atmosphere are frightening tasks.
Along with the air brake, the violent vibrations made every crew member who tied themselves up with safety belts a little worried, always feeling that the Swan would fall apart when entering the atmosphere.
However, this kind of worry is unnecessary. The Swan has proven its ability to enter the atmosphere, but the movement is particularly terrifying.
When the vibrations subsided and the terrifying red light no longer appeared outside the window, the Swan had truly entered the atmosphere and was slowing down.
"Confirm anti-air firepower!"
"Why can't these guys be killed like cockroaches?"
The orbital bombardment before landing lasted for nearly thirty minutes. The ground troops were still alive, which was really tenacious.
However, orbital bombing is not useless. The anti-air firepower on the ground is very sparse. Although the Swan's target is large and easy to focus fire, with this little firepower, it is impossible to break through the Swan's shield.
Instead, because the firepower was attracted by the Swan, the assault landing ship below was able to calmly lower its altitude and fire back.
"Ten thousand meters!"
"Start the floating engine!"
The four-legged engines on both sides of the Swan turned around and pointed their nozzles downward, further slowing down the Swan.
At this time, the first batch of assault landing ships had landed on the ground and released a large number of personnel and armored vehicles.
Witnessing the fall of the Red Maple Republic is just around the corner.
