Dozens of points of light appeared in the sky again, and it was a heavy missile launched by the GDI Orbital Alert Fleet. Although the Higra-class destroyers were armed with heavy space anti-ship torpedoes, such weapons could not be used on the ground.
In order to enhance the destructive power of space torpedoes and their ability to be easily intercepted, coupled with the extremely short design time, Dr. Kane did not consider the problem of ground use when designing this new weapon, and those torpedoes can easily lose control in the atmosphere and cannot accurately hit the target.
Despite the fact that the new model of improved torpedoes has already begun to be put into production, it is clear that the orbital patrol and alert fleet, which is not the main fleet of the first line, will not be the first to be refitted.
Therefore, all ground strikes can only be undertaken by the Kodiak-class battle cruisers that serve as flagships in the alert fleet, which will naturally bring a lot of pressure to the battle cruisers that are both flagships and ground attack fire platforms. Hitting a dozen fragile small targets on the ground is not a big problem, but it is not an easy task for them to destroy a starship at such a distance of an atmosphere.
Missiles in the group of missiles that broke through the atmosphere were constantly blown into fireballs by the laser interception of the Destroyer gunship, but the other missiles still flew towards the Starship at a speed of more than Mach 10!
As long as half of the missiles can hit the Destroyer gunship, it will at least inflict heavy damage on the opponent and force it to withdraw from the battlefield.
At the same time that the Destroyer gunboat intercepted the incoming missiles from space, the plasma weapon launch port at the bow of the ship also gathered energy again, but this time the energy gathering time was shorter, and the plasma light cluster formed was not as large as the first cannon, and then the energy gathering ended in a short time, and the plasma weapon was launched, and the target was still Geneva below!
It's just that this time the plasma clusters are no longer huge individuals, but strings of small plasma clusters with high temperatures, and they are scattered to the ground with fans!
Dozens of light bubbles appeared all over the city as these high-temperature plasma clusters landed, evaporating everything that came into contact with them, and a large number of empty areas appeared throughout the city again!
Subsequently, a dense explosion appeared on the hull of the Destroyer gunship, and the blow from space hit its own target!
The entire upper part of the Destroyer gunship, which was hit by such a blow, was completely shrouded in flames and smoke, and the hull quickly lost its altitude due to the impact and explosion of the missile, and lost its balance and fell to the ground.
The laser cannons of the Kodiak-class battlecruisers were constantly firing, constantly drilling large holes in the body of the Scyclic Starship, which had lost a lot of surface armor. The people on the ship know very well that if this starship more than 400 meters long falls to the ground like this, then the destructive power will not be less than the explosion of a small-yield nuclear bomb, and the damage to the whole of Geneva will not be small, they must cut and reduce the volume of the starship before it crashes to the ground, so as to reduce the damage caused by the starship when it falls to the ground!
The Destroyer starship of the Sijing people has been severely damaged as expected, which the GDI ground forces also see very clearly, and they also know what kind of impact a starship with a length of more than 400 meters will have if it is still relatively intact overall, so they are also firing at the alien ship that fell with dense gunsmoke.
It was said to be open fire, but the ground forces did not have much means of attack, and they could only use hostile anti-aircraft missiles to attack the starship. Fortunately, at this time, the first group of fighters with the modified heavy anti-ship has also arrived, and seeing this situation, this batch of twelve F-35 fighters immediately carried out a round of missile salvo on the Sijing starship!
The air-launched air-to-air anti-ship missile modified from the anti-surface ship missile is not light, even if it is the upgraded GDI version of the F-35, it can only carry three, one belly, two wing roots, and makes the F-35 lose its stealth ability, although in front of the Sijing people, the human radar stealth technology is useless, and the maneuverability will be affected.
Fortunately, so far there have been no fighters and combat boats in the combat air, so these F-35s do not need to be equipped with more air-to-air missiles, nor do they need to fight too closely.
The pilots only need to launch air-to-air anti-ship missiles at the Starship from a relatively safe position.
Thirty-six missiles pulled out thirty-six white plumes of smoke in the air, and flew straight towards the starship where the Sijing people fell, Di also knew that in the face of the alien laser point defense system, no matter how human missiles changed orbits, they could not avoid laser irradiation, it was better to remove the advanced navigation chip, and reduce the cost to achieve a breakthrough rate with the number of missiles.
Although it was hit hard by the missiles and laser cannons of the GDI orbital alert fleet and fell out of control, the starship of the Sijing people was not paralyzed and completely immobile, although it was an unmanned autonomous starship, it was not completely dead after such a heavy blow, and the Sijing people were indeed higher than the human side in unmanned technology, so the laser point defense system on the surface of the hull was still firing.
Twenty-one of the thirty-six air-to-air anti-ship missiles were intercepted by the laser point defense system on the way to this starship, and only fifteen missiles successfully hit the target, blowing up part of the hull of the destroyer gunship, but for the entire starship, the damage was not serious, at least the destructive power was not as high as the damage caused by the human warcruiser in space.
Despite a series of blows, the Destroyer gunship remained four-fifths structurally intact. The more than 300-meter-long hull smashing to the ground from a height of several thousand meters is not a small movement, at least several blocks will be destroyed together when this thing falls.
A few streamers flew over the skyline and sank into the falling Destroyer gunship! In the huge roar, where the light point was submerged, the structure of the starship was instantly broken and shattered, and the hull of the ship was peeled off from the hull in pieces!
And with a large amount of hull peeling off, the structure of the hull can no longer remain intact, and it also begins to detach from the entire hull from the original peeling place!
The remaining hull of this destroyer gunship, which was more than three hundred meters away, broke into three pieces of different sizes after those few points of light hit, with a large number of fragments, and accelerated to the ground in the form of a heavenly maiden scattering flowers!
"It's finally time to catch up!" Somewhere in the Sareb hill, south of Geneva, a small army appeared, three of which stood out as a twelve-meter-tall bipedal mecha with three huge guns on their heads. This is a Colossus-style fire support mecha only owned by the Iron Eagle Force directly under the GDI Command, equipped with three 380mm short-barreled electromagnetic acceleration railguns, which can fire a variety of strike warheads.
It was these massive mechanical weapons that smashed the Destroyer gunboat into several pieces in the final blow.
Although the Destroyer gunship of the Sijing people was already dilapidated under the repeated blows of the orbital alert fleet and the air force fighters, the three land fire support mechs successfully bombed the hundreds of meters long starship into three sections with a single round of shelling, which also proved that the shells that these mechs had just fired were not ordinary shells.
This unit is not part of the GDI's heavy division stationed in Switzerland, but is an artillery battalion of the High Mobility Response Unit directly under the GDI Command. Originally, this battalion was planned to conduct mountain combat training in the Alps, and after receiving the news that Switzerland was attacked by the Sijing people, this artillery battalion was urgently transferred to Geneva for reinforcements.
It's just that because they are in the mountains, even if the GDI, which has a very high air transportation capacity, wants to transfer this battalion from the mountains to Geneva, it still takes some time, and when they arrived, the battle situation has come to the end, and the starship of the Sijing people has been heavily damaged and fallen.
The mission of supporting the GDI forces in the city has become less important due to the changing tide of the battle, but there is still something they can do to attack the downed starship and reduce the damage to the city on the ground.
If the shield of the Sijing starship is still there, and the hull armor is still intact, then these three fire support mechs still have nothing to do with it, and the long-barreled 600 mm railgun can't say that one shot can penetrate the shield and armor, and how can the mere 380 mm short-barreled railgun threaten the starship?
However, after the three mechs unfolded their gun mounts and loaded with special high-explosive armor-piercing shells, the Sijing Starship not only lost its shield, but even the hull shell armor belt was also wounded and damaged everywhere, losing most of its defensive capabilities.
Then it was blasted into three sections by the army mecha that was not at all eyed by the starship......
Although the remaining three pieces can still cause damage to ground facilities, they are not a big problem compared to the damage caused by the entire starship falling to the ground.
The artillery battalion, which didn't know that he had robbed the head of the space fleet, began to put away the gun mount of the mecha while reporting the situation to his superiors, and was ready to transfer. Although the starship of the Sijing people was destroyed, there are still many ground troops of the Sijing people in the city of Geneva, and the GDI ground forces still need the fire support of the artillery battalion.
Because of the appearance of the Sijing destroyer gunship, in the face of the devastated city of Geneva, the Swiss government finally agreed that the GDI troops could use all force to eliminate those Sijing troops, and this artillery battalion with a 380 mm cannon could come in handy.
The Sijing starship was destroyed, but the command led by Vice Admiral Sheffield still ordered the deployment of more air defense units, they didn't dare to have illusions, thinking that there was only one Sijing starship in this area, who knows if those weird alien debris were hiding other starships somewhere? GDI won't be taking that risk again until it has better self-insuredness.
They had to make sure that if there was another Sjing starship, they would be able to destroy it immediately.
The three Sea Behemoth-class heavy cruisers, which were in near-Earth orbit, began to slow down, and after maintaining a certain distance from the orbital alert fleet, they stopped, and did not approach their allies again. They are an insurance policy to ensure that the Orbital Alert Fleet will not be attacked by the Crystal Men in space, and they are also a reserve force to increase the firepower of ground strikes.
But now that the starship in the Sijing people's atmosphere has been destroyed, and there is no other movement in space, this reserve force no longer needs to show up.
