Chapter 489 When the Immortal Comes to 'Knock on the Door' (Facing Destiny Today)
While the Renaissance Alliance launched an all-out attack on the surrounding areas controlled by 'General Lampard', the Lubion 5 orbit Polarized Light also roughly figured out the current fighting situation through the transit reconnaissance of multiple spy satellites deployed in advance.
"It seems that the Renaissance Alliance's troops cannot penetrate. There is no hope of breaking through the defense line in several main attack directions." Tom said while looking at the virtual screen in front of him.
Although he was born in the Federation Navy, after following Randall to the Atlas Group, especially after becoming the captain of the "Polarized Light" spy ship, he also began to supplement ground combat skills. Theoretical knowledge and practical cases.
After all, under Amber's setting, the mission of the spy ship is not a single space battle, but also has various tasks such as infiltration, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, and even assisting ground infiltration troops in combat.
Therefore, the captain of the spy ship must also be proficient in this knowledge, rather than simply knowing how to command the operation of the warship.
“Compared to defensive operations, this kind of dynamic offensive combat requires higher combat quality of combat troops, but it is obvious that the troops of the Renaissance Alliance are still a little bit behind in this aspect.”
Baninger's voice came from the other virtual screen, and Tom seemed not surprised by it.
After the initial stage of surprise and curiosity, Tom and the other crew members of the Polarized Light gradually adapted to this comrade and colleague who could only exist in the 'virtual space'.
"If they are unable to penetrate the opponent's defense line, their combat determination and offensive will will soon be exhausted by the constant casualties." Amber's voice also rang in the communication channel. , at this moment he is maintaining contact with the polarized light signal through the 'dedicated line' maintained by Lilith.
While the three of them were discussing the situation of the war, the real-time images returned by several spy satellites were temporarily interrupted.
Seeing this scene, Tom was stunned for a moment, then realized and complained: "These damn space junk have almost 'polluted' the preferred orbits of spy satellites!"
Amber also shook her head helplessly. Some things were indeed beyond their ability to solve.
After previously assisting the Rubian Galaxy Autonomous Government to recover Rubian 5 and begin the planet reconstruction phase, the autonomous government also roped in several professional companies to remove space debris from all levels of Rubian 5 orbits. Cleaned it up.
These large amounts of wreckage and debris generated by the previous battles or unilateral 'massacres' between the Imperial Fleet and the garrison fleet not only destroyed a large number of satellites, but also made the orbital environment extremely extreme. Difference.
Therefore, after the war, among the first projects approved by the galactic autonomous government, the cleanup of space debris was one of them.
However, the safe and clean orbital environment that was finally cleared disappeared once again after the "armed rebellion" broke out in the Lubion galaxy.
The anti-government rebels in the galaxy are not just ground troops. There are also many warships or organized fleets that have 'refected' in the reorganized garrison fleet.
So when the two sides fought near Lubion 5, the massive amount of space debris produced by the fleet battle once again filled the entire orbit
"Stop complaining, as long as there is satellite footage, Not bad." Baninger said again, while looking at Amber who was in the other virtual space through the screen.
"Boss, do you need the Immortal Legion to launch an attack?"
"Wait."
As she said that, Amber asked Lilith, "How is the network penetration on your side? "
"The progress is so-so. Compared with the ground forces of the Federation or the Empire that we encountered before, the two sides that are fighting now have strict management on the internal network and radio. "
As Lilith said this, she rolled her eyes at Amber in the virtual space: "This is all thanks to you, Master~"
Hearing this, Amber didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because in the past, Atlas Group, whether it was ground troops or fleets, always had great advantages in electronic warfare when fighting against other forces, often making the enemy miserable on this invisible battlefield. words, indirectly weakening their actual combat capabilities.
So when the Atlas Group emerged and gradually moved to the 'center of the stage', watching this once 'little broken company' grow to this point, other forces had to pay attention to it and develop in electronics. Strengthen the war effort.
This is even more true for the re-established garrison forces in the Lubion system. They were established with direct assistance from the Atlas Group combat forces, so they attach great importance to the technical and tactical levels of electronic warfare and countermeasures, and they have The disciplinary requirements for internal networks and radio communications are also much higher than those of other units.
This makes it difficult for Lilith to penetrate the entire military network as effortlessly as before. Instead, she must find opportunities to hack, and at the same time pin her hope of deep penetration on the opponent's lack of strict discipline.
After all, nothing can be done without rice. If the network and communication control discipline of an army are good enough, and the opening time, mode, and frequency of each port are strictly limited, then it will not be that simple for Lilith to completely penetrate
< br>However, Lilith was not completely without results. At least she confirmed through the messy communication and information exchange between the frontline troops on both sides that the troops on both sides were currently engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.
The armed forces of the Renaissance Alliance that launched the offensive are currently at a disadvantage. The battle control line is advancing extremely slowly, and the casualties of the front-line troops are not low.
As the defender, the forces under 'General Lampard' relied on their better training level, equipment, and relying on defensive positions to block the attack, and quickly eliminated the Renaissance Alliance's attack. Edge.
After the initial chaotic period, they were occasionally able to organize one or two counterattacks to regain some lost positions
"In other words, if the fight continues like this, the Renaissance Alliance will not be able to continue the attack?" "Yes, Master~"
Amber listened to Lilith's report. He nodded, and then switched the communication channel back.
"Tom, Baninger, start knocking on the door."
"Yes! Boss!"×2
Not long after, the orbital probe of the Lubion System Autonomous Government Fleet suddenly detected an unknown ship heading towards low orbit.
The alarm was quickly transmitted to the garrison fleet, but at this time, the government fleet was confronting the rebel fleet at the 'North Pole' of the planet, so it was impossible to verify the identity of the ship in time.
“Which ship is the nearest? How long will it take to get there?”
“Report! The Pamir patrol ship is the closest, but it will take at least 20 more to reach the target area. Minutes! ”
“It’s too long. If the other party had specifically chosen this opportunity to act, they would have been able to escape within 20 minutes. ”
The fleet commander hammered the armrest of the captain's seat with a look of unwillingness, and then looked at the enlarged picture of the panoramic bridge, showing the rebel fleet maintaining a defensive formation, and couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it, it's all the fault of these rebels. They trapped us here to confront each other. We don't know when it will end. If we want to fight, just start fighting!"
Without the interference of other people, the polarized light Naturally, the operation of the USS was extremely smooth. With the assistance of a high-level shipboard control personality, this special mission ship converted from a destroyer passed through the Lubian 5 at various heights like a flexible swimming fish. Clusters of debris scattered in orbit.
"The ship has arrived in low orbit and is expected to enter the airdrop orbit in 2 minutes. The airdrop cabin booster engine has been warmed up and the boost program has been set."
"Atmospheric data, ground Combat intelligence and other information have been updated, and subsequent information updates will be transmitted through the D2 channel”
"No obvious anti-aircraft firepower has been found on the ground yet! But we need to pay attention to the field air defense units that have not been deployed yet!"
"Countdown to 1 minute for air defense!"
"Countdown to 30 seconds for air defense!"< br>
“1098321! Start airdrop!”
As the order was issued, the four channels that had been opened in the deployment bay of the Polarized Light were released, and the restraining arms holding the airdrop cabin were released together.
Just like a hen laying eggs, this warship without any obvious markings quickly threw out four groups of airdrop pods above the target airspace. Then the attitude control thrusters on the bottom of the warship started, making the ship's altitude close to the critical value. The battleship slowly pulled up.
The four groups of 20 airborne pods that broke away from the battleship also quickly ignited their booster engines. In the sudden burst of blue-white tail flames, these airborne pods began to land at a faster speed towards the scheduled airdrop. The area plunged down.
Although the two forces fighting on the ground have not dealt with threats from space for a long time, they still set up multiple levels of field radars in accordance with combat regulations, and they also quickly captured the threats in space. These 20 unknown units are approaching at high speed.
When the airborne capsule's booster engine ended its operation and entered the inertial landing stage, both parties on the ground quickly figured out the final landing point of these unknown units.
The troops under General Lampard panicked when they discovered that the landing points were actually in several core areas behind their positions.
Including 'General Lampard' himself, they never thought that they would be hit by an 'orbital attack' at this juncture.
After all, even the government forces and space rebel fleets that have orbital attack ships have not used these attack ships to attack the ground for a long time.
He immediately ordered the troops to organize air defense as soon as possible, but at this juncture, the only ones left that could respond quickly were high-energy laser air defense vehicles that could 'stop and attack at any time'.
But the attack effectiveness of this thing when facing units falling from space is not to mention basically non-existent, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.
On the other side, after receiving the news, Franklin , was stunned for a moment at first, because he knew very well that the Renaissance Alliance was not yet capable of carrying out orbital strikes.
And the forces with this ability are preparing to launch operations in the distant "North Pole" direction.
But soon, he suddenly realized something with joy, and then quickly issued instructions to all attacking troops:
"All troops! After the unknown unit landed, quickly launch a A large-scale attack!”
