Chapter 1395. Dexon Meat Grinder (1)
1395. Dexon Meat Grinder (1)
Hundreds of transport ships dived towards the Dexon satellite and entered the planet The atmosphere and thick clouds were instantly left behind, and the 500-kilometer-square steel city on the ground was extremely conspicuous on the ground!
The moment the clouds disappeared, only countless artillery fires were seen wildly fired from the ground! At this moment, the countless firelights made it almost impossible to see anything!
The sky is filled with fragments and barrages like black clouds, blood-red lasers, and missiles with tail flames. The entire sky is almost airtight, and there is no gap left!
In addition to these deadly fire nets, there are countless fighter jets flying around, seizing any opportunity to rush down and bomb the light blue city-level shield.
This steel city is equipped with an extremely expensive one-way shield. Only attacks from the outside in will be intercepted, while attacks from the inside out will not be affected. This is also the reason why General Kalani dared to organize the final resistance here.
The anti-aircraft guns on the ground are completely densely arranged. If a person walks to the streets of the Steel City at this moment, he can only see towering anti-aircraft guns everywhere around him!
The hemispherical 30mm caliber six-tube electromagnetic cannon, the turret is 3 meters high. Under the command of the fire control radar, the turret rotates rapidly, with a rotation angle of more than 30 degrees per second, at the same speed as the wind. Keep turning to switch attack targets. The six gun barrels rotated at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and the cannons fired in unison, firing crazily at a rate of hundreds of rounds per second!
Hundreds of rounds per second of the 30mm caliber cannon are all based on proximity fuses and delayed explosion fuses. Even if it cannot hit directly, each shell can directly explode when it senses the target within the attack range to produce a fragmentation attack. If it does not hit the target, it will directly explode at a fixed height to form a fragmentation barrage.
There are also quadruple anti-aircraft laser cannons. This turret is 5 meters high, with a rapid-fire laser cannon installed on four mantis-like cantilevers on both sides. Compared with the 30mm six-barreled electromagnetic cannon, this anti-aircraft laser cannon emphasizes point-to-point attacks. After the fire control radar locks on the target, the four laser cannons fire in unison, burning the target into a ball of fire within a few seconds!
In addition, a large number of anti-aircraft missile towers have also been deployed. Although this kind of missile tower is said to be technology from "StarCraft", its structure is actually very simple. All the technical content is in the fire control system and missiles. The Longbow II anti-aircraft missiles, which were ignored after being launched and could switch attack targets on their own midway, were launched densely into the sky, making the already crowded sky even more chaotic.
Not to mention there are a large group of combat robots on the ground, including B-1 combat robots, B-2 super combat robots and destroyer robots. They also aim their weapons at the sky and fire wildly.
Even under the protection of the shield, those firepower and explosions could not fall into the City of Steel, but the flames of countless anti-aircraft firepower also illuminated the entire city in fiery red!
But no matter how bombarded the fighter groups of the Galactic Republic are, the city-level shield of the City of Steel remains extremely strong. Under the cover of the shield, the crazy anti-aircraft firepower poured out its own firepower unbridled. In the factories in the city, countless automated machines are constantly producing various missiles and energy capacitors. The missiles with residual temperature are sent to the air defense positions one by one, then ignited and launched, and finally fired on a certain Republic fighter jet. Exploded on the body.
The transport ships of the Galactic Republic have tried their best to penetrate the defense. They really want to land directly inside the city and launch landing operations directly in the center. However, if they want to enter the range of the city shield, they must reduce their speed to the shield reaction. Below the speed threshold, otherwise, the shield magnetic field will be used as a weapon attack and be directly blocked from the outside.
Such a result is equivalent to the spacecraft directly hitting a red-hot iron wall.
However, the speed threshold of this city-level energy shield has been calculated by the central computer of the Republic battleship. Not surprisingly, the Separatists directly adjusted the speed threshold of the shield to the lowest gear, which is almost impossible. May allow aircraft to pass.
Anyway, they no longer have fighter jets, all they have are ground air defense forces. In fact, all the fighter jets have been exhausted in the battles on the outer orbit armed space station and the surface of the planet Onderon in the previous few days of fighting.
Therefore, the only thing the Republic's transport ship can do is to fly to the outside of the city-level shield, put down the landing troops, and then advance on the ground.
..."Quick! Quick! Get off the ship as soon as possible! Don't stay! Don't stay!!" An officer shouted hysterically to the soldiers in the cabin, and then drove them to swarm off the ship and leave the ship as soon as possible so that the ship could take off as soon as possible.
Boom! ! There was a violent explosion not far away! I only saw a transport ship being hit by the separatists' long-range firepower, and it was suddenly blown into a burning fireball in the explosion! Countless spaceship fragments fell from the sky, and there were even more broken limbs! All from those Republic soldiers who didn't have time to disembark!
Seeing this horrific scene, the Republic soldiers did not dare to stay for a second and hurriedly ran towards the bottom of the spacecraft.
There are more soldiers who have landed before and are rushing forward desperately. As they rush forward, they fire wildly with all the weapons they can use without taking any aim at all - there is no need to aim anyway. A few kilometers away from them, a light blue light curtain blocked all incoming firepower.
boom! boom! ! From inside the city, a large number of powerful artillery shells are constantly falling. This is the heavy-duty multi-function howitzer of the siege tank!
"Quick! Quick!! Forward! If you stay here, you can only wait for death!" The officer was still shouting loudly. He pushed the shoulders of every soldier passing in front of him to ask them to speed up.
The transport ship behind him was preparing to take off, but suddenly, a shell fell from the sky and hit the transport ship directly! There was a loud bang, and the transport ship, which had just risen less than 10 meters, was instantly hit to the ground by the huge impact of the shell, and at the same time, a violent explosion instantly set off!
The soldiers who were slightly closer to the transport ship were immediately blown away by the explosion. The officer was blown more than ten meters away by the explosion, and his body was almost twisted into a twist by the powerful force.
"Come on!!!" This hell-like scene stimulated the soldiers of the Republic. They also let out a hysterical cry of courage and charged towards the City of Steel.
The transport planes are still landing, placing armored vehicles on the ground one after another.
Before the AT-TE walker even got off the transport aircraft, the anti-infantry scattering laser cannon in front was already firing. On the giant cannon behind it, the gunner was already in place. He also fired without having to aim. emission.
The powerful shells of the heavy howitzer exploded into fireballs tens of meters in diameter on the city shield.
The Army of the Galactic Republic has now learned the lesson. Seeing that the separatist army of Dawn Planet often uses a mixture of live ammunition and energy weapons, they also follow suit. Now the heavy howitzers on the AT-TE's back are all equipped with high-explosive live ammunition. This is to cause more kinetic damage to Dawn Planet's shield.
Around the City of Steel, the Galactic Republic established more than ten landing sites and launched fierce attacks from different directions.
