Chapter 547: Orbital Airdrop
Almost all the high-ranking generals of the Lector Battle video "Mubarak" sent by the Monya Empire have seen it, and they have a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness level of the Wyvern and Viking fighters.
Like Vic? Generals such as Fred, Lu Yongjun, and Gandalf had a deep understanding of the level of defense of the General's Palace, and did not think that the combination of Wyverns and Viking fighters alone could pose a threat to such a strong fortress, and at most wipe out the armored group of the ground guard troops.
But what if you add the Corruptors who can rival the Heavy Cruisers and Battleships? Whether the General's Mansion can be held is unknown.
They didn't know that the Corruptor couldn't attack low-altitude structures due to their physical anatomy, and even if they did, they wouldn't take such a risk, because it was their duty to protect the Duke's life.
Lu Yongjun combined the battle situation at the beginning, compared it with the present, and finally looked at the "Morning Star" on the virtual sand table of the combat command platform in the rear of the battlefield, and suddenly thought of a question, or guessed whether this would be a game carefully planned by the Tang side, in order to break the "Mubarak" defenders from the front, or even ...... Annihilation!?
He was shocked by his thoughts, intellectually he thought it was impossible, but his intuition told him that this was what the guy thought! "Mubarak" is a tool for him to show off his military strength to the world!
Thinking of this, he recalled that from the "+ Morningstar" leaving "Dillard", to the pirate alliance setting up, to the First Fleet of the Night Legion leveling the "Christiel" industrial park, to the 44th fleet of the Star Alliance Navy occupying the magpie's nest, and then to the raid on "Mubarak" by the group of living warships.
Judging by the scene in front of them, the living battleships are not as flawed as he says, on the contrary, they are perfect.
Why didn't it appear when the First Fleet of the Legion of Doom attacked the "Kristel" industrial park? If it was Tang Fang who deliberately did not let them appear, if Stephen? The fleet led by Su and Chen Jian deliberately left "Dilar" to raid Albert's lair. If this qiē is all in his expectation.
That...... That...... So...... Not only the offensive and defensive battle at the beginning was a game he laid out, but even a series of measures by the Star Alliance government, the navy, the pirate alliance, and the Night Legion were all pawns in the overall strategic situation he had laid out.
Everyone was taken advantage of by him!
The Morningstar's original inspection operation of leaving "Dillard" to go to the "Jakartapur" branch was simply a pit, a pit dug for the Covenant government and the Legion of Doom!
No...... Wait, in recent times, due to the Covenant Navy's advance of the defensive line to the Ayaros-Coplin-Slandal no man's land. The Doom Legion has rarely sent troops to the area around "Dillard", and it is impossible for the Tang side to predict in advance that the Doom Legion will risk being sniped by the Star Alliance Navy to attack the "Christel" Industrial Park, so what is his goal?
Lu Yongjun's mind flashed with inspiration, thinking of Albert and Boyle, who had a deep hatred with Byron? Ben, thinking of the Covenant Navy eyeing "Dillard...... Maybe...... The Legion of Doom wasn't the object of his calculations in the first place, Harrington? Harris is a wolf who accidentally fell into a sinkhole, and then he temporarily changed his follow-up plan to launch such a powerful stronghold attack that is even more shocking than the extermination of all the pirates in the Ayaros-Coplein-Slandar no man's land.
Thinking of this, Lu Yongjun suddenly felt that his back was sticky and uncomfortable. It turned out that the military uniform had long been soaked in cold sweat and collapsed in the vest.
That guy surnamed Tang is really insidious, and there are ...... They are really unlucky, for the Doom Legion, it is simply a calamity, and they have become substitutes for the Pirate Alliance.
"Colonel Lu, why is your face so ugly?" A major general's chief of staff asked.
"We ...... We may have been tricked by that kid. ”
Vick? Fred nodded with a grim face: "I know." ”
"We ...... We were unlucky. ”
Vick? Fred nodded again, still saying, "I know." ”
"What do you know? You don't know anything! ”
Lu Yongjun naturally didn't dare to say this in front of everyone on the bridge. You can only slander or roar in your heart.
On the big screen No. 1. A Sea Lion-class heavy cruiser exploded under the siege of 4 Corruptors, and the flames gushing like a tidal wave illuminated the faces of everyone on the bridge, one paler than the other, like snow on the roof wall in the middle of winter.
At this moment, a huge black vortex formed on the high-altitude orbit of "Arumega", carrying a majestic momentum like a mountain. Behemoth reappeared, crashing a 1-kilometer-long attack satellite as it went, sending fragmented debris flying in all directions, sparking sparks and even causing an explosion on the surface of nearby space-based facilities.
On the flank battlefield. A total of 150 Corruptors and 50 Wyverns were put in, and another 140 Corruptors, more than 40 Wyverns, and 40 Viking fighters were put into the G-00 area, and when Behemoth appeared in the high-altitude orbit, the pocket was opened again, and another 60 Corruptors and 60 Wyverns were thrown into the battlefield, turning into two violent winds, and swept towards the space-based defense facilities and satellite platforms around Behemoth.
Right in Vic? Fred and the others were shocked that Captain Tang had not put all his forces into the previous offensive and defensive battles at one time, and when there was still such a reserve force, the folds on both sides of Behemoth's pocket suddenly surged like waves, and then, those raised bumps of flesh were squeezed out of the cortex little by little, and the speed changed from slow to fast, flying towards the ground of "Arumika" like a meteorite falling from the sky.
"Empty...... Airdrop? Orbital airdrops? ”
The bridge of the "Eternal Night" suddenly boiled, and everyone was stunned, it turned out that the big guy was not just a simple biological mothership, but even had the ability to super-large-scale airdrops.
Tong guò zoom in on the video screen, Bick? Fred finally saw what those dense airdrop bags were, they ...... They were all independent creatures - a flying giant beast with a body length of more than 30 meters, which had been seen in the video materials of the Lector naval battle provided by the Monya Empire.
He had always thought that the dense layer of flesh lumps behind the big guy's pocket was a kind of tissue similar to human body hair, which was used for metabolism or to collect energy substances in the universe, but he never expected that it was an independent biological entity parasitic on the fold layer of the mother's body.
Even though they don't seem to be corruptors or wyverns, and they haven't shown their offensive abilities in previous appearances, he doesn't think that the guy with the surname Don will airdrop a bunch of docile and harmless creatures into "Arumegah". Did you go to play with the Duke? How can it be!
A female communications officer covered her mouth, her voice trembling: "Oh my God, what the hell is that?" ”
Lu Yongjun said with a cold face: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the enemy's drop cabin, or a living transport plane." ”
A scene in the high-altitude orbit of "Arumega", Harrington in the ground command center? Harris also saw it. While his face was shocked, he muttered to himself, "Has his research on living warships reached this point?" ”
Looking at the data of past battles, as well as what he has seen with his own eyes today, the biological weapons that Tang Fang can use have formed a complete military system from close combat to long-range, from combat units to auxiliary units, from group army forces to large-scale air forces, and from large-scale air forces to biological motherships. How not to be afraid? Such a rate of growth. It's a rarity!
The battle in the G-00 area and in high-altitude orbit did not stop because of the consternation and puzzlement of the defenders of "Mubarak", and under the attack of nearly 200 corrupters, real and fake Viking fighters, and more than 90 flying dragons, a large number of space-based facilities caught fire and exploded.
MT-50 Lanzel Flying Thunder and parasitic spore clusters flew indiscriminately between many space-based facilities, continuous flames and metal fragments rained the entire defense area, some impatient soldiers couldn't bear it, and used close defense weapons to return fire, but unfortunately the target was too flexible, and those bullets were guided to the rest of the small and medium-sized space-based facilities. One oolong incident after another was created, so that the shouting and roaring resounded through the communication network.
High-powered weapons like attack satellites, large orbital cannons, heavy lasers, plasma cannons, etc., have become almost ornamental. Hugh said that even if he could keep up with the corrupted, Wyvern and other living warships, the gunners would still not dare to fire, which was like throwing a grenade at their own position, injuring the enemy by one hundred and losing eight thousand.
So the whole defense area was like boiling water in a kettle, surging waves. Explosions and intermittent eruptions of flames lit up like the lights of a city in the evening, engulfing one facility after another, or platform.
Even the military facilities hidden inside the asteroids. It is also difficult to hold for a long time, under the fire attack of the platform built inside Behemoth's pocket, under the baptism of psionic storm, and even under the "Guanyin Sitting Lotus" of the Iron Crow, they have successively lost their combat ability and have been reduced to space buildings that have lost their attack capabilities.
Vick? Fred stared blankly at the tragic scenes on the big screen of Bridge No. 1 to No. 5, and didn't know what words to use to describe the complex feelings in his heart. The opponent's carefully placed defensive line was easily torn through the center of the breach, and the flood broke through the seemingly impregnable embankment.
Those living warships can actually make precise jumps? What does it mean for an air unit like the Corruptor that has extremely high defense and attack power, but is relatively slow, to gain the ability to jump accurately? It's scary to think about.
There's also the biological mothership, rapid regeneration capabilities, aircraft carrier platforms, orbital airdrops, and ......
Vick? Fred's thoughts suddenly braked on here, not that the "Eternal Night" aircraft carrier was attacked, nor was it a sudden distraction, but that the biological mothership had changed again.
After the orbit was airdropped, one object after another came out of the flesh hole that was originally used to store the king worm, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be those gold-armored units that had appeared on the giant beast pocket firepower platform, and they ...... They were pushed out of the folded layer and turned into a battleship-like sidestring gun, attacking space-based defense facilities near the biological mothership, like space junk makers, blasting one space-based facility after another into wreckage.
These hybrid turrets are more powerful than the Viking Fighter's MT-50 Lanzel Mine, almost as powerful as the Corruptor's spitting that destroys the structure of objects.
"Then where is the biological mothership, it's a biological fortress at all!"
Some of the crew let out an exclamation, and the hoarse voice echoed across the bridge for a long time.
Many people have lost their fighting spirit under the continuous blows, even if they are the elite of the empire, the famous Legion of Doom, in the face of such a sensational and terrifying enemy who has shattered their confidence and reliance again and again, it is inevitable that they will be discouraged and lose their courage to fight.
The space battlefield is a mess, and the atmosphere of "Arumegaika" is also not peaceful. Hundreds of king insects rushed into the atmosphere from low-altitude orbits, like a dense meteorite rain, falling from the sky with wind and fire.
On the periphery of the General's Mansion on the northern shore of the "Akuias" Lake, the guard unit in charge of ground defense tasks received the warning from the command center and launched an interception operation as quickly as possible to defend the supreme commander of the "Mubarak" in the General's Palace.
A large number of cruise missiles were swayed up from launchers and ground shafts, dragging wind and fire all the way to the air. Under the leadership of commanders at all levels, the ground armored group launched a formation in the area around the "Akuias" lake, and the anti-aircraft missile vehicles and various types of anti-aircraft artillery, railguns, and particle beam weapons were put on the line, the super magnetic matrix of the central unit of the general's palace was opened, and a large number of armed shuttles and a small number of atmospheric/space dual-purpose fighters were urgently lifted into the air and flew to the army of king insects that were falling from the sky at an accelerated pace.
A cruise missile locks onto the target under the guidance of the lidar, the tail changes angle, and the afterburner booster spews out a flame, and the speed suddenly increases by a cut. Like an arrow off the string, it suddenly shoots out.
Then, when it was less than a kilometer away from the king worm in front, a small black dot in the sky came first, wrapped in a whistling wind and squeaking, and a blade worm erupted from the rapidly tightening and then dilating tail mouthparts, and hit the belly of the cruise missile with extremely high kinetic energy, piercing the shell. Detonate the charge inside, making an earth-shattering explosion.
The wyvern's scream was muffled by the explosion. The gushing flames illuminated its hideous face, its light and thin wings flapped, and its body turned around as it continued to dive towards another cruise missile.
Sharp insect chirps echoed in the clouds, and one after another flying dragons fell from the sky and joined the inner battlefield of the atmosphere.
Meanwhile. The flickering silver light swooped down towards the surface at an extremely fast speed, from small to large, from far to near, at a certain distance from the army of king insects.
At the front are 2 Protoss transport planes, followed by 1 transmission prism. There were 7 medical transport planes and 2 Nighthawks at the end of the line.
The 20 Viking fighters quickly cut into the two wings of the mechanical transport team, divided into 4 fighter squads, and quickly rushed to the air force composed of armed shuttles, atmospheric/space dual-purpose fighters, and unmanned attack aircraft.
At the same time, two Nighthawks and five eyeworms appeared at the end of the team to activate the electromagnetic interference capability, limiting the performance of the ground troops' radar, electronic communications, and other remote sensing and microwave devices to the greatest extent.
An armed shuttle rushed into the army of king insects, the two wings of the Gatling cannons rotated rapidly, the muzzles of the guns sprayed outwards, and the 25mm caliber armor-piercing bullets fell on a king insect like splashing water, and the skin and flesh were opened, and blood flew sideways.
However, this did not affect the actions of the king worms, as they seemed to have no reaction to the damage to their bodies, and still flew towards the ground at a predetermined acceleration.
The pilot of the shuttle flicked open the lid of the missile launch box above the control stick, pressed the big red button, and the missile hatch cover under the belly of the plane opened to both sides, and the projector put down a "Northeast Wind" class missile.
The king worm was still flying according to the established trajectory, indifferent to the missile threat, and in the blink of an eye, it was hit by the missile, and the flames engulfed most of its body at once, a large number of shrapnel embedded in the flesh, and the tumbling smoke blackened the nearby area.
The shuttle combatants couldn't help but feel a little proud, these huge flesh balloons had no attack ability, but their flexibility was extremely poor, and they were simply different from those flying dragons, and they were simply live targets waiting to be harvested.
He was a little complacent, thinking that the living warships were nothing more than that, and the superior commander was not overestimating their capabilities.
Unlike the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Night Legion, the guard unit is mainly responsible for the defense of the ground, and the grassroots soldiers do not know the details of the space battlefield, only know that the situation in the navy is not good, and the final defense line is in danger, and the enemy is carrying out orbital airdrops.
The soldiers were initially very curious about this strange style of creature drop pods, and were cautious at the behest of their superiors, but when they saw their performance, they felt that it was nothing more than that.
Just like the pilot who had just watched the flames from the missile explosion engulf the king worm, he had changed direction and flew towards the other king worm, still wondering in his heart how much "goods" were in the belly of the living transport ship that he had just killed.
His smugness didn't last long, as the cloud of smoke slowly dissipated, a vague silhouette appeared in the field of view of the sensors behind the fuselage, and the pilot initially thought that it should be the broken body of the king worm, after all, it was nearly 40 meters long, more than twice the size of the armed shuttle, and the "Northeast Wind" class missile could not tear it to pieces, and it was normal for large pieces of wreckage to be left behind.
But the next second, the smile on his lips was replaced by shock, the injury of the king worm was not serious, a large bloody hole appeared in the back, and other parts were filled with large and small shrapnel.
But what is incomprehensible is that it still flies steadily towards the ground, and its "expression" is still the same as before, except for a few occasional grunts, like someone is snoring.
"Is it sleeping?"
The pilot muttered to himself, and then complained loudly: "What kind of plane, half of your body has been blown off and you can still fall asleep?" (To be continued......) R1292
