Chapter 787: Orbital Airborne (Part 1)
786. Orbital Airborne (Part 1)
Orbital Airborne!
This is another gamble from Matt Horner!
You know, compared with this extremely cool name and combat method, orbital airborne landing has never been a beautiful thing, whether it is for the enemy or yourself.
Drop people from low-Earth orbit at an altitude of about 2,000 kilometers, and often continue to accelerate in order to increase the penetration rate. The reverse thrust engine is not turned on until it is almost to the ground, and the reverse thrust of the engine is used to blow open the parachute. landing.
Such a process is not safe in any way, and can even be said to be suicidal. You must know that the acceleration of gravity during this process is very terrifying. Even if the orbital drop cabin is heavily protected, ordinary people will never be able to get out alive.
You know, the parachute jump is only 2 or 3,000 meters, while the height of orbital airdrop is directly 1,000 times! It’s more than 2,000 kilometers!
Only the bravest warriors become paratroopers, but orbital airborne troops? What this requires is no longer courage, what it requires is madness!
For the research on orbital airborne, the Fourth Civilization only conducted some preliminary feasibility study reports, and the headquarters believed that they first lacked suitable battleships, secondly they lacked suitable equipment, and thirdly they lacked suitable equipment. personnel, and the risks of such operations are too high, so the establishment of the orbital commando team is still far away.
And compared to the development and construction of other large warships, the establishment of orbital commandos is not a high priority.
But this time Matt Horner was completely pressed by Tang Xiao's one-month deadline. He treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor and saw the two Kesov-class ships on the Dawn Planet's industrial ring. After the battlecruiser prototype, I came up with this idea.
Orbital airborne!
Matt Horner’s idea did not come randomly. He had indeed studied the situation of the Kesov-class battlecruiser and came to the conclusion that it could be given a try.
But this is not an ordinary orbital airborne landing after all. It is using the assault aircraft originally used for gang-hopping operations to change its direction and launch it towards the planet!
Matt Horner's only hope is that after these assault aircraft turn on their shields and anti-gravity devices, the passengers inside can withstand the terrifying gravity acceleration.
If you can withstand it, a surprise force will fall from the sky.
If not, then it would just be thousands of iron coffins thrown away.
There are no ifs on the battlefield, there is only one chance. If this time it does not succeed, then the Republic will be prepared and the effect of the surprise attack will be greatly reduced.
What Matt Horner wants is to succeed in one battle!
At this moment, over the city of Fermos, the capital of the planet Terminus, thousands of raiding spacecrafts fell from the sky under countless anti-aircraft fires. These spacecrafts did not turn on their reverse thrust engines and open their parachutes until they were less than 200 meters above the ground, and then took them with them. With the powerful kinetic energy that remains, it suddenly landed!
While the high temperature caused by friction with the air had not dissipated, the spacecraft door opened, and more than a dozen soldiers wearing second-generation N-7 combat armor rushed out, aiming at the surrounding The enemy fired a burst of fire, and at the same time quickly found a bunker on the spot to hide.
These are surprisingly all soldiers of the Fourth Legion, the most elite warriors of the Fourth Civilization!
A total of 6,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army participated in this orbital airborne operation.
Matt Horner, this time he used one-third of the entire Fourth Army to gamble! If the gamble fails, one-third of the soldiers of the Fourth Legion will be thrown to death in the raiding spaceship for no reason. By then, even his most optimistic estimate will only be to apologize with death!
And this is only part of it. Among the many assault ships that were launched, what rushed out were not people, but biological weapons!
Inchori Avenger Type 101!
This kind of biological weapon created by using the body of the Inchori modified by the T virus and implanted with the Nemesis parasite has been proven in the battle on the planet Christophsis. It can meet the needs of current combat. a powerful biological weapon.
However, due to the strong genes of the Injori people that reject the T-virus and Nemesis parasites, the Inchori Avenger 101 still only has an IQ slightly higher than instinct and cannot use weapons. Therefore, in order to To improve their combat effectiveness, scientists installed an automatic laser gun on them. The modification of this automatic laser gun is very simple. In fact, it is just to take off the head of a B-1 combat robot and then install a laser gun. It seems a bit funny, and the power of the laser gun is also average, but At least it gives the Incholi Avenger 101 some long-range firepower.
And because of the rush of time, the language system in the heads of these B-1 combat robots has not even been removed. This made the voice of Roger Roger in the robot heads on the back of the Incholi Avengers never stop for a moment when the Incholi Avenger was fighting. .
Of the 6,000 Fourth Legion soldiers, only a little more than half, or about 3,500 people, were able to get out of the spacecraft alive. However, none of the Incholi Avenger 101s had an accident, and they would all land safely on the ground. , and launched a crazy attack!
No matter what, such a simple and crude orbital airborne tactic really worked.
Almost in the entire city of Fermos, wars were raging everywhere! The orbital airdrop covered almost the entire city, making it impossible for the Republic Army to organize effective resistance.
As night falls, some shadows begin to move in the city.
Those mercenaries who pretended to be hired by the Republic before did not leave anything behind.
On the contrary, when they came, they brought some of the most dangerous things inside the city of Fermoth.
After receiving a thick stack of red envelopes from the Hutts, the customs officers of the planet Terminus who were responsible for entry inspection did not carefully inspect the spaceships of these mercenaries at all.
The war was raging at that time, and the Galactic Republic army did not think of conducting a second review of the mercenaries' spaceships. When they resisted the attacks of the robots, the brave mercenaries did not show any abnormality. , which gives them a chance.
After a premeditated retreat, the mercenaries delivered the small gifts they brought into the darkest corners of the city.
And now, as the night falls, black shadows crawl out one after another from these corners...
Humanoid shapes, on all fours, with sharp claws, exposed brains, and long tongues, they swim. Walking on the walls and ceiling, it's like walking on flat ground, silently.
It’s a licker! !
Among the T-virus series of biological weapons, after a series of simulations and experiments, a few types can be used in actual combat.
As for the famous T-103 Tyrant? In the experiment, it was not enough to shoot with the DC-15 blaster, which was a matter of two or three shots.
Thanks to Shanghai Beet 01 for the 100 starting coins! !
