Chapter 1108 Emergency Landing Operation (4)
It is very troublesome to completely suppress a habitable planet. After all, there are billions of people on a planet, and most of them will receive simple militia training when they are in school.
They really can't do anything with heavy equipment such as landing ships, but you can't stand fighting guerrilla warfare with you every day.
So to suppress a planet, the first choice is to control or urge all military facilities on the planet, and suppress the big cities on the planet to ensure that facilities such as mass accelerators can go to the void.
Finally, cooperate with orbital bombardment to carry out thorough military control of the planet. You fight guerrilla warfare, right? OK, go to the sky with your guerrillas!
Of course, this process is very slow. It is impossible that I attack today and the planet will belong to me tomorrow.
As I said, there are too many people, and no matter how many troops are used to fill it, it can't be filled. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one will seize a habitable planet that has been developed. It is not troublesome enough. If it is not done well, it will fall into the quagmire of Afghanistan like America.
Given that weapons that burn glass balls have not been developed yet, it is pure idiocy to target habitable planets.
But the habitable planet outside this star gate is different. It is like a planet-level fortress.
Once it is taken, the Red Maple Republic will have a springboard that can directly penetrate the heart of the Swirl Water Federation.
The Red Maple Republic did not intend to occupy it completely. It was enough to control important facilities, and the rest could be ignored.
Because of its important military value, a large number of assault landing ships rushed 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 Swan should be the second batch to enter the atmosphere. At this time, it had just broken through the thermal barrier and was descending rapidly. It also discovered the Swan sailing below.
So they opened fire.
As mentioned earlier, the firepower of the assault landing ship is mainly concentrated below. This time, the firepower density is much higher than before.
The counterattack of the Swan can only rely on anti-aircraft guns. No matter how fragile the assault landing ship is, it will not be easily shot down by anti-aircraft guns between 40 mm and 85 mm.
The situation is very unfavorable.
The rumbling explosion, mixed with the manic wind, broke into the bridge at the same time.
Vilania is searching according to the coordinates given by Banning and determining the exact location, which takes a little time.
But now there is no time to wait slowly.
Alyssa glanced at the situation below:
"Turn left 20 degrees, we go to the sea!"
Continuing to maintain the current route is to be beaten, and the anti-aircraft guns below can't help.
There is a beautiful coastal city directly below the Swan, but it is not certain whether it will be beautiful in the future.
The Swan began to turn, trying to get out of the fire coverage area of the assault landing ship fleet.
This operation is not a big problem. The assault landing ship is also descending rapidly, and the Swan is relatively large, it may be more "driving", and the descent speed is slower than the streamlined assault landing ship.
Once turning, this speed difference will gradually widen the distance between the two sides.
However, in this process, the Swan was beaten badly, and the shield that had always been strong finally collapsed under the continuous bombardment at this moment.
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, which was significantly different from the firepower of the ship. The armor plate alone could hold on until the shield was reloaded.
That's the process...
The shock wave of the shell explosion made everyone in the bridge lower their heads. Some of the top anti-aircraft guns that lost protection were also damaged in this wave of bombardment. Fang Lanyin was busy allocating energy in the engine room.
About a minute later, the shield was reloaded successfully, isolating the shells and ion beams.
Now the altitude has reached 6,000 meters. When it reaches about 3,000 meters, it is the most suitable working state for the floating engine.
But the assault landing ship does not seem to intend to let the Swan go.
"A small aircraft signal has been detected. They have released a shuttle!"
Space fighters cannot fly in the atmosphere. The aircraft carried on the assault landing ship are also shuttles or aircraft developed for flying in the atmosphere.
Small aircraft pose a very low threat to warships, especially in the atmosphere, where they cannot use their only anti-ship weapon, the void torpedo. The carrier-based aircraft were released to interfere with the descent of the Swan.
The numbers on the altimeter were dropping rapidly, but there was still a little distance from the normal 3,000 meters.
Due to the close distance, Alyssa could already see the carrier-based aircraft ejected by the catapult flying towards the Swan through the glass of the bridge.
"Start the smoke generator."
Thick smoke was released from the tail of the Swan, and because it was descending at high speed, it directly pulled out a long oblique column of smoke in the sky.
At the same time, the anti-aircraft guns were aimed at the direction of the smoke, and any shuttle that emerged from the smoke would be covered by artillery fire.
"The coordinate information is confirmed, about 120 kilometers away from us."
Villania finally found the exact location of the secret factory, and the distance was not far, which was definitely good news.
But the premise is that the pursuers behind them have to be shaken off.
Carlos reminded loudly:
"3,500 meters!"
"Maximum output of the floating engine!"
"Understood, maximum output!"
From the perspective of the assault destroyer, the Swan below was emitting gray smoke all the way, as if drifting left on the sea.
At 3,000 meters, the most suitable altitude for the floating engine, the Swan would not be passively attacked.
The shuttle that had just emerged from the smoke was immediately covered by the fierce firepower of the anti-aircraft guns, and the bow ram of the Swan, which had successfully turned around, opened, revealing a huge muzzle.
"Main gun fire!"
The light spear cannon, which is famous for its penetration ability, quickly accumulated energy, and a spear-like beam pierced through the smoke that was swinging in front of the Swan, and went straight to the assault landing ship fleet that was still descending.
This operation was like a sniper shot.
Of course, it didn't hit.
The accuracy of long-range artillery fire was not high, so it would be a miracle if the sniper shot could hit.
But this shot was equivalent to a test shot aiming. The shipboard computer quickly calibrated the gun parameters, and Long immediately pulled the trigger again.
The two secondary guns on the upper and lower bows of the Swan fired at the same time, and the assault landing ship, which had just reached an altitude of about 3,000 meters and was ready to maneuver, immediately took full damage and exploded into a ball of fire on the spot, and the fragments fell into the sea below.
"Keep firing, shoot them all down!"
In the past, the big ships always bullied the small tonnage of the Swan, but now it's finally the other way around.
For the assault landing ship, the Swan is the big ship, and its firepower protection and maneuverability far exceed theirs.
Attack and defense are changed.
At this time, Alyssa glanced at the ship information and found that the airlock door had been opened at some point.
"The Manta has already attacked."
Fuck, he really ran out again!
