Chapter 1108 Emergency descent operation (4)
It is very troublesome to completely suppress a habitable planet. After all, there are billions of people on the planet, and most of them will receive simple militia training when they go to school.
It's true that people can't handle heavy equipment like landing ships, but you can't stand fighting guerrillas with you every day.
Therefore, to suppress a planet, the first priority goal is to control or expedite all military facilities on the planet. By suppressing the big cities on the planet, ensure that facilities such as mass accelerators can reach the void.
Finally, cooperate with orbital bombing to implement thorough military control of the planet. You are a guerrilla, right? OK, go to the sky with your guerrillas!
Of course, this process is very slow. It is impossible for me to attack today and the planet will be directly mine tomorrow.
Again, there are too many people, no matter how much troops are used to fill them, so generally no one will seize a habitable planet that has already been developed. Kaguya is stuck in the quagmire of Afghanistan.
Since weapons for burning glass balls have not yet been developed, targeting a habitable planet is sheer stupidity.
But the livable planet outside this star gate is different. It is like a planet-level fortress.
Once this place is captured, the Red Maple Republic will have a springboard that can penetrate directly into the heart of the Spinning Water Federation.
The Red Maple Republic does not intend to completely occupy it. It is enough to control important facilities, and the rest can be ignored.
Because of their important military value, a large number of assault landing ships broke into the atmosphere in batches like a tide. For a while, the sky everywhere on the planet looked red.
The assault landing ship above the head of the Swan should be the second batch to enter the atmosphere. At this time, it had just broken through the heat barrier and was descending rapidly. The Swan was also spotted sailing below.
So they opened fire.
As mentioned just now, the firepower of the assault landing ship is mainly concentrated below. This is good, the firepower density is much higher than before.
The Swan's counterattack can only be carried out with anti-aircraft guns. No matter how fragile the assault landing ship is, it will not be easily shot down by anti-aircraft guns ranging from 40mm to 85mm.
The situation is very unfavorable.
Rumbling explosions, mixed with the roar of the wind, broke into the bridge at the same time.
Villania is searching according to the coordinates given by Banning and determining the exact location, which will take a while.
But there's no time to wait now.
Alyssa glanced at the situation below:
"Turn left twenty degrees, let's go to the sea!"
If you continue to maintain the current route, you will be beaten. The anti-aircraft guns below can't help even if they want to.
Directly below the Swan is a beautiful coastal city, but whether it is beautiful or not will not be certain in the future.
The Swan began to turn, trying to get out of the fire coverage area of the assault landing ship fleet.
There is no big problem with this operation. The assault landing ship is also descending rapidly. Due to the relatively large relationship, the Swan may be more of a "joy", and the descent speed is a little slower than the streamlined assault landing ship.
Once the vehicle turns, this speed difference will gradually widen the distance between the two parties.
However, the Swan suffered a severe beating in the process, and its always strong shield finally collapsed under the constant bombardment.
The artillery fire directly hit the upper armor plate of the Swan. Fortunately, the firepower of the assault landing ship was to provide ground support. Compared with the firepower of the ship, there was a significant gap. The armor plate alone could support the heavy load of the shield. .
This is the process...
The shock wave of the shell explosion caused everyone in the bridge to lower their heads. Some of the unprotected top anti-aircraft guns were also damaged in this wave of bombardment. Fang Lanyin was almost busy deploying energy in the engine room.
About a minute later, the shield was successfully reloaded, blocking out the cannonballs and ion beams.
Now the altitude has reached six thousand meters. When it reaches about three thousand meters, it is the most suitable working state of the floating engine.
But the assault landing ship didn't seem to intend to let the Swan go just like that.
"Small aircraft signal detected, they released the shuttle!" Space fighters cannot fly in the atmosphere, and the assault landing ships are equipped with shuttles or simply aircraft developed for flying in the atmosphere.
The threat of small aircraft to battleships is very low, especially in the atmosphere. They cannot use the void torpedo, the only anti-ship weapon. The release of carrier-based aircraft is obviously to interfere with the Swan's descent attitude.
The number on the altimeter was dropping rapidly, but it was still a little short of the three thousand meters for normal navigation.
Due to the close distance, Alyssa could already see the carrier-based aircraft ejected from the ejection device flying towards the Swan through the glass of the bridge.
"Activate the smoke generator."
Thick smoke was emitted from the tail of the Swan, and due to its high-speed descent, it directly pulled out a long oblique smoke column in the sky.
At the same time, anti-aircraft guns were aimed in the direction of the smoke, and any shuttle that emerged from the smoke would be covered by gunfire.
"The coordinate information is confirmed. It is about 120 kilometers away from us."
The Villania side finally found the exact location of the secret factory, and it's not far away. This is definitely good news.
But the premise is that you have to get rid of the pursuers behind you.
Carlos reminded loudly:
"Three thousand five hundred meters!"
"The floating engine has maximum output!"
"Understood, try your best!"
From the perspective of the attack destroyer, the Swan below was emitting gray smoke all the way, as if it was drifting to the left on the sea.
At three thousand meters, the most suitable height for the floating engine, the Swan would not be passively beaten.
The shuttle that had just emerged from the smoke was immediately covered by fierce fire from anti-aircraft guns, and the Swan, which successfully turned around, opened its bow angle, revealing a huge gun port.
"Main gun fire!"
The light spear cannon, known for its penetrating ability, quickly charged up, and a spear-like beam pierced the smoke in front of the Swan, heading straight towards the descending assault landing ship fleet.
This operation is like sniping.
Of course, there was no hit.
Originally, the accuracy of long-distance artillery fire was not high, and it would be weird if a sniper shot could hit it.
But this shot was equivalent to a test firing and aiming. The shipboard computer quickly calibrated the gun parameters, and Long immediately pulled the trigger again.
The two secondary guns on the top and bottom of the Swan's bow fired at the same time. The assault landing ship, which had just reached an altitude of about three thousand meters and was ready to maneuver, immediately took full damage and exploded into a ball of flames on the spot, with fragments smashing into the sea below.
"Keep firing and shoot them all down!"
In the past, the big ships always bullied the Swan's small tonnage, but now it's finally the other way around.
For the assault landing ship, the Swan is the big ship, and it is a big ship whose fire protection and maneuverability far exceed theirs.
Offensive and defensive types.
At this time, Alyssa glanced at the ship's information and found that the airlock door had been opened at some point.
"The Manta has sortied."
Damn it, he really ran out on his own again!
