Volume 1: The Rainbow of the Old World Chapter 3. The commander's big toy
The paratroopers rested briefly, left the wounded in the fire control tower, and handed over to the technical sergeants who continued to penetrate into the enemy's systems, and all the moving paratroopers took a breath and set off again!
Lu Yuan walked down the fire control tower and looked up at the countless swarms of drones whizzing over the fortress, all of which were flying towards the ultimate goal of the operation, the Star Monument Fortress. The capture of the fire control tower by the paratroopers only temporarily cleared the airspace of the fortress, and if they did not take the Star Monument fortress and obtain the positioning beacon for the fleet, this raid could not be considered a success!
"Look, our birds." Judging Zihua, who was following Lu Yuan, pointed to the drones that flashed with different lights, this young man who had newly joined the orbital paratroopers from the Marine Corps was still an out-and-out rookie in the eyes of everyone, but this kid's act of sacrificing his life to save Lu Yuan was quite impressive.
Lu Yuan untied the visible visor that covered his entire face, took off his helmet, and took a deep breath of the air with a strong smell of gunsmoke, a scar that slanted from the center of his eyebrows to the bottom of his right eyebrow bone was extremely conspicuous, which was a memorial left by the Battle of Thor. Lu Yuan hammered his fist on Zhen Zihua's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"Paratroopers, everywhere!"
Everyone immediately responded in unison: "Invincible!" ”
The Star Monument Fortress on the surface has always been the focus of defense, just because the Star Monument in it is the most reliable reference for the fleet to shuttle and short-distance jumps through the space light monument, and all the configurations of the fortress are naturally extremely luxurious, especially the air defense can be called impeccable, but there is no place in the world where orbital paratroopers dare not go!
Tonight, the 28th Paratrooper Brigade once again won a city! Win another medal for their gladius of honor!
The goshawk folded its wings and hid in the darkness, and it was only at the last moment that the orbital paratroopers turned on to slow down, and under the pressure of overload that could easily kill ordinary people, they stepped into hell at a speed far beyond the prediction of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns!
War will always favor only the brave! Whoever despises death more, who is more fearless of hardships and dangers, is the master of the battlefield!
"It's time, guys!" Lu Yuan whistled, and several huge cylinders in front of him were quietly inserted on the ground of the fortress, the surface was full of scorched black burns but still intact, it seemed that the enemy brought a thermal cutter and failed to pry open the exclusive airdrop weapon compartment for the paratroopers, after all, the big killer here could not squeeze a place with the paratroopers to airdrop.
The paratroopers eagerly identified and opened the weapons compartment, as if they were opening an easter egg, betting on what good treasures were inside. The drone shuttle flew over the paratroopers, killing the enemy soldiers who dared to sneak over, and Lu Yuan even had time to pour out a pack of cigarettes from the corpses of the enemy soldiers.
Lu Yuan smoked from the muzzle of the gun, took a sip, looked at the heavy weapons dragged out by the paratroopers, spewed out a smoke ring, threw the gun behind him, licked his lips and looked at the towering star monument tower in the distance, and said to himself: "Next stop, men's clothing and sporting goods store." ”
……
"Send another report to the theater command! The fortress has been raided and urgent support is needed! The Imperial Commander in the Star Tablet Tower roared like a lion trapped in a cage.
The communications corps tried to send a distress message in the midst of increasingly noisy and disorderly signals, but it was doomed to be in vain. Not to mention the electronic countermeasures drones in the air, even the low-earth orbit is full of jamming satellites temporarily launched by the Celestial Alliance fleet, and the entire fortress is covered with an invisible net, and any communication signals are annihilated in this net, I am afraid that the imperial troops outside the fortress will have to rely on the primitive light to signal the contact, who called the imperial garrison fleet on the Eagle Valley Star not to fight?
Full-band suppression
Kicking over the guards who had reported another piece of bad news, the Fortress Commander looked down through the narrow window, claiming to make the Celestial Alliance forces bleed, and the impregnable Fortress of the Lunar Star Ground Star Monument was rapidly falling. The only thing that made him better was that the Star Monument Fortress had an independent system, and its internal and external defense capabilities were stronger than the other parts, and no one would want to attack it if it closed the heavy door.
The commander of the fortress cursed, he wanted to see how these airborne troops, who had no means of attacking fortifications and only light weapons, could threaten the star monument barrier, and he didn't believe that large-caliber railguns could be airdropped so casually! As long as it can hold on for a period of time and carry it until the main fleet of the empire arrives, then where can the Celestial Alliance fleet, which is already desperate for survival, escape!
There was something strange at the end of the field of vision, the commander of the fortress hurriedly zoomed in and looked closely, looking at it, the commander's forehead was cold sweat, he was not religious, but at this time, he suddenly found that the only hope could only be pinned on the mercy of the imperial gods.
……
In addition to the necessary personnel to clear the stragglers and control the key points, all the paratroopers gathered in the square under the Star Monument Fortress, Lu Yuan was impressively in the column, and the heavy alloy gate engraved with the Empire's seven-pointed star in front of him seemed to make people helpless, several small pits burned by special grenades were the best proof, Lu Yuan looked up at the spiky star stele tower with strange brilliance circulating on the top of the fortress, and there were several plasma railguns clustered around, as if this thing was still out of reach although it was close at hand.
A single anti-orbital plasma cannon can change the world within a radius of several thousand meters, let alone a mere transport boat, even a regular fleet cruiser can't eat and walk around after a single shot, which is also the reason why the fleet cannot intensively send fighters into the atmosphere to support paratroopers.
Lu Yuan stepped on the cigarette butt at his feet, put on his helmet, and ordered indifferently: "Everyone stand back, and attack as soon as the shelling is over." ”
The time has come to pull out the thorns.
Lu Yuan dragged the "Misaka" experimental version of the ultra-light sub-mounted railgun behind him, although it is ultra-light, the weight of 5 tons is not to mention that the paratrooper combat uniform system can cope with it, and the general standard infantry exoskeleton cannot be shaken, but Lu Yuan is still walking like flying, after all, there is such a stupid thing as canned food not being worthy of a knife is just a joke after all.
Lu Yuan steadily increased the power output of the "Hellfire" paratrooper mecha, and most of the auxiliary weapon compartments in the first round of airdrops were paratrooper mechas, if he met the Imperial Grizzly Mecha infantry again at this time, Lu Yuan was confident that he would beat them to the death.
Lu Yuan lowered the muzzle of the gun, and five hundred meters away was the proud and sturdy fortress armored gate, the artillery hoe went deep into the ground, dressed in a paratrooper mecha, and the 203 mm armor-piercing long pole bullet in his arms was simply the weight of a doll, and this distance did not need any calibration or shelling at all.
The ultra-high pressure guide rails of the "Misaka" railgun began to charge, and the magnetic field was so strong that the positioning system of ordinary paratroopers hundreds of meters away failed.
"Ding~" was like a piano line gently plucked, and a bright blue straight line suddenly appeared in reality, lying across the fortress gate and in front of Lu Yuan. The seven-pointed star on the door was half missing, replaced by a big black hole, Lu Yuan beckoned his comrades to come over and speed up and reload, he lowered his head and picked up the miniature nuclear fusion battery issued by the railgun, and couldn't help laughing.
"Damn, that's cool enough."
The same scene took place in front of the key areas of the fortress, where the paratroopers assembled the "Misaka" railgun in the weapons bay, and then dragged it away by their mecha-clad companions, and fired the shells without hesitation, so as to vent the frustration of being besieged by the Imperial forces. Now it's the turn of the paratrooper mechs to rush in and hang to hit the enemy.
Lu Yuan led the team to fight into the Star Monument Fortress, where could the enemy soldiers stop the paratroopers who had experienced a hundred battles. Moreover, the defenders were not allowed to use powerful weapons inside the Star Monument, which was extremely demanding on accuracy, and they could only desperately witness the paratrooper mecha rushing over under the rain of bullets, so Lu Yuan didn't even bother to bring a rifle, so he took the paratrooper short sword and went on, and when he got closer, he directly stabbed the sword in the chest.
The paratroopers quickly killed to the last star tablet drawing room, Lu Yuan heard the constant noise inside, originally thought that the enemy was still going to resist stubbornly, and ordered his teammates beside him not to spare the mecha energy, and to drive the overloaded bullet time to slaughter it, but Lu Yuan just kicked the door first, and a puff of black smoke made Lu Yuan startled for half a beat.
"Extinguish the fire!" Lu Yuan roared!
The paratroopers immediately extinguished the flames in the drawing room, and Lu Yuan hurriedly threw himself under the planetary gyroscope that recorded the coordinates of deep space, and the fire spread, but there would be no foam to extinguish the fire here! Lu Yuan had to spread his arms and stand in front of the gyroscope, blocking the fire with his body, otherwise he would be connected to the gyroscope, and the arithmetic balls hidden in the tip of the star tablet would be all over, as long as these spheres simulating the trajectory of the moon star and the last two planets were offset a little, and the data was wrong, then this fortress would be meaningless!
Lu Yuan's anxious Tianling cover was steaming, so Lu Yuan was stunned to find that there was hoarfrost on the arm of the mecha, and the fire in the drawing room was actually extinguished silently, and the paratroopers were stunned for a few seconds before they found that only Zhen Zihua was standing in the outer circle and did not move.
"Uh, don't you see the emergency cooling button here?" Judging Zihua spread his hands innocently.
"Hey, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I came in and pressed it, what is there to say? Is there any routine training on the ship? ”
"Grass." The paratroopers scolded in unison.
The fire started quickly and went out quickly, and the paratroopers were only responsible for taking the Star Monument Fortress, and a series of operations such as checking the three-star movement trajectory with the Star Tablet Calculation Ball, redrawing the fleet light tablet grammar, adjusting the shuttle reference data, etc., need to be solved by professionals.
The second round of airdrops is still on the way, who in the 28th Paratrooper Brigade is not an old fritter, as soon as Lu Yuan coughed, everyone immediately threw themselves into the search for the trophies of the Star Monument Fortress, not to mention anything else, the epaulettes and swords of a group of imperial officers who committed suicide with guns in the light drawing room are a lot of oil and water.
"Be quick, five minutes at most." After the bloody battle, the new battle briefing had not yet come, Lu Yuan would not have swept everyone's interest, and the veteran paratroopers were not interested in looting, they had already attacked the side of the fortress and went to blow up the railgun.
Lu Yuan just took a pack of imperial specialty cigarettes thrown by his comrades, and before he could open the package, further mission information came from the communication channel, Lu Yuan swept his eyes, threw the cigarette back casually, and ordered: "It's almost done, come and move the equipment on the fortress wall with me, we still have a happy second half of the night!" ”
"Boss, we'll leave you some!" The paratroopers, who were busy making a windfall, shouted, and were immediately rewarded with a middle finger.
Lu Yuan picked up the Misaka railgun that had been disassembled into the drop box, and walked into the fortress freight elevator with heavy steps, where a group of free smokers, one of whom had a thick beard, so he was nicknamed "Goat", playfully knocked on Lu Yuan's thick breastplate, and teased: "Iron Man, can you fly?" ”
The goat was glared at by Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan and this group of guys were friends who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and seeing that this decaying thing was mixed up with the sergeant and giggling, Lu Yuan grabbed his fist and scolded with a smile: "If your old lover Zhang Yueyang is Little Pepper, it won't be a problem for you to land Apollo on the moon." ”
The paratroopers laughed, walked out of the elevator, faced the cold night wind, lost the intelligence control of the Star Monument Fortress, and the surrounding railguns fired indiscriminately like flies, Zhang Yueyang lewdly bent over the railguns, and the grenades were thrown into the vents with great accuracy, and the rest of the little tails were the work of the recruits.
Zhang Yueyang climbed the turret with the mecha energy-powered thermal cutter, and in a few leaps he reached the slender barrel, waved his hand, and said to Lu Yuan below: "Iron Man, watch me let these big guys fly." ”
The thick barrels of the stumps spewed red light, and a moment later, as if a chocolate bar had been broken, one after another was disconnected, and a long-lasting muffled sound could be heard from under the fortress.
The creature shook back, pointed to the sky, and said, "The Marines have arrived." ”
Lu Yuan raised his head to look at the same sky where he fell half an hour ago, thousands of airdrop capsules swept brilliantly, and after a long time, he didn't cross in front of him, and sighed.
"They're slow."
