Chapter 1294: Fighting on the battlefield and taking back the center (1)

Countless ion beams shot into the sky, slightly bent under the influence of gravity and air mass, and finally dissipated in the sky.

Set the delayed fuse to let the anti-aircraft artillery shells explode at the specified height, and each black cloud-like smoke represents the scattering of a large number of deadly fragments.

The assault landing ship flashed the blue light of the shield, and the artillery arranged on the belly retaliated against the anti-aircraft firepower below, but because it was in the descending stage and could not evade freely, all it could do at this time was to charge headfirst.

It was a heartbeat, and it was a competition of who was tough.

It was often seen that the assault landing ship suddenly exploded into an orange flash, and a ship of people, whether alive or dead, were thrown out with the explosion and began to fall freely.

The assault landing ship was the most dangerous job among ships. They would face the attack of roadbed anti-aircraft artillery, and their shields were often not that strong.

The whole sky seemed to be ignited by ion beams and shells. It was even hard to tell whether the orange light in the distance was the morning sun when it rose, or the color dyed red by the explosion.

As the largest ship in the orbital airborne, the Swan was naturally taken care of. The shield was fully deployed, but a large number of shrapnel still passed through the shield and hit the surface of the ship.

However, the armor plate of the Swan was the crystallization of the high technology of the royalists, and at most it only lost a layer of paint.

But for the people on the ship, the sound of shrapnel hitting the hull sounded as terrifying as a rainstorm, not to mention the scattering caused by the ion beams flying from the bridge from time to time hitting the shield, which made people doubt whether the Swan could withstand it.

"Three thousand meters!"

"Start the floating engine at full speed!"

When reaching the three thousand meters altitude where the floating engine is most suitable for working, the safety factor will be greatly increased.

Because at this altitude, both the Swan and the assault landing ship can maneuver in the sky to avoid artillery fire, instead of just being a target and charging headfirst.

The Swan was not the first to land. When the Swan reached the maneuvering height, the first batch of assault landing ships had already landed.

Well, whether it was a free fall or not, it landed anyway.

This is like a landing craft that successfully rushed to the beach. When the assault landing ship landed on the ground, the rear hatch opened, and a large number of soldiers ran out with supplies. Sometimes you can see heavy weapons such as tanks or four-legged walking artillery coming out of the hatch.

However, although only a small number of anti-aircraft guns can attack the assault landing ship and soldiers in a flat-fire manner when they landed on the ground, the field artillery that the Red Maple Republic Army had already arranged was waiting for this moment.

Since the position belongs to others, the Red Maple Republic Army can map the gun range of the possible landing position in advance. When the assault landing ship lands and releases the infantry, the Red Maple Republic Army only needs to simply adjust the angle of the field artillery according to the gun range table, and the artillery hidden under the bunkers and camouflage nets can directly or overhead bomb the landing area.

The assault landing ships and soldiers who had finally managed to get through the anti-aircraft firepower were immediately covered by firepower. Although the tactical manual clearly stated that once landing, they must try to disperse and avoid gathering, but there were often situations where the assault landing ships had just landed and the hatch had just been opened, and a large-caliber howitzer directly hit the hatch, and there was no time to disperse.

However, the field artillery of the Red Maple Republic opened fire, and the fire from the muzzle also exposed the location of their artillery positions. The assault landing ships that were still in the landing state aimed and fired.

War is actually about hurting each other, to see who can't stand it first.

As the saying goes, high-attack low-attack stupid, the assault landing ships in the falling state undoubtedly occupied the height advantage, and concentrated artillery fire on the heavy weapons firepower coverage on the Red Maple Republic Army's defense line, with remarkable results.

The first batch of friendly forces that went down and served as bait must have a knock to say, and they have to say it now!

Driven by the floating engine, the speed was further reduced, and the speed of descent in altitude slowed down.

The Swan is not a professional assault landing ship. It cannot maintain a falling posture and provide fire coverage on the ground like a general assault landing ship.

But the depression angle is not enough, so the posture can make up for it.

"Hull control, tilt down 30 degrees."

Carlos pressed the steering wheel forward, and the hull of the Swan, which is more than 300 meters long, began to tilt slowly downward.

Although the Swan is usually the smallest warship, it is a giant in terms of landing operations.

An assault landing ship may be more than 100 meters, or even less than 100 meters. The length of the Swan is equivalent to three assault landing ships, not to mention that the weapons are even more incomparable to assault landing ships.

For the Red Maple Republic Army on the ground, the roar of the Swan's descent is like the sky falling. Its length and volume are similar to those of an aircraft carrier on Earth. The oppression of such a large thing falling from the sky can be imagined.

"Notice to all ships, all gun ports open fire freely, repeat, all gun ports open fire freely!"

When the Swan is in combat, the most used weapons are of course the main gun and two secondary gun turrets, but this does not mean that the Swan only has main guns and secondary guns.

It is the basic operation of a warship to be filled with anti-aircraft gun positions. Even though the Swan is the smallest among warships, it carries anti-aircraft guns ranging from 20mm quadruple, 40mm triple, to 80mm and above twin.

The Swan dropped from orbit, like a battle fortress with turrets all over it falling from the sky.

As Alyssa's order reached every corner of the ship, the gun positions that the Swan had just put away after entering the atmosphere were pushed out by hydraulic presses. There was a gunner behind each gun position. As long as the enemy appeared in the coverage range of their firepower, they would just hold the trigger and not let go.

As the saying goes, put the anti-aircraft gun flat, and the military court will be held.

This is actually a joke. After all, you will go to the military court if you lose the battle, and it is the correct tactical choice if you win.

However, this sentence also highlights a feature, that is, anti-aircraft guns are always very good for anti-infantry.

The Swan, which leaned forward and continuously sprayed shells and flames, fired at all active enemy soldiers within the target range, and the front position was soon covered by steel and flames.

It was actually okay to be hit by a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, and it died on the spot without a sound. If you were hit by a 40mm anti-aircraft gun, and you haven't been killed yet, you might have to howl for a while before you die.

The Swan, which was covered with anti-aircraft guns, was like a super strong iron broom, suppressing the enemy troops in the position.

The ion beams and anti-aircraft guns used to attack the Swan were the focus of attention. Anyone who wanted to operate the weapons would be directly beaten into a bloody mist.

A little further away, the Red Maple Republic Army's counterattack fire came, and the violent explosion made the giant like the Swan move back slightly.

In addition to anti-aircraft guns and field guns, the Red Maple Republic Army also built permanent or semi-permanent fortifications and installed turrets removed from warships as turrets. It was this kind of thing that hit the Swan just now.

It's not a big problem. The Swan's shield can still withstand it. What's more, it's impolite not to return the favor. The Swan immediately opened the front armor, and the main gun of the light spear hidden in the ram was revealed...
