Chapter 8 Contact (3)
The Krogan pirates are a well-known force in the galaxy, but they often attack ships or small colonies. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But the place in front of me, known as the colony of Phil's main star, is a stronghold occupied by the Human Star Federation. There are also important drug research and development facilities that provide some important medicines for use in the member countries that Cibab is a member of.
It is also for this important reason that Phil's main planet is protected by a Citadel fleet on regular patrols. But the fact that the Krogan pirates launched such a blatant attack was indeed a bit unexpected.
This was also the idea that came to Xia Houlin after seeing the information sent back by the reconnaissance plane. These Krogan people are simply crazy, if the medical facilities here are destroyed, I'm afraid these guys will be hunted down by the forces sent by the Star Federation and the Divine Citadel.
Soon the reconnaissance plane continued to send back the situation of the main star of Phil ahead, and one of the colonies there was obviously a little unsupportable. A large number of Krogan pirates, along with their recruited helpers of other races, are waging a fierce offensive.
On several high ground around the colony, there was a device resembling a jammer. It was jamming the communications around the colony, going outside.
However, these jamming devices cannot fully interfere with the communication equipment used by Xia Houlin and others. After following the different methods, the reconnaissance aircraft again resumed contact with the fleet.
Xia Houlin immediately asked for the battleship's intelligent system, quickly listed the weapons that had roughly the enemy's number and position, and also formulated several sets of tactical plans.
Looking at the several sets of plans listed by the intelligent system, Xia Houlin sent out the first choice. It was railgunning, shelling of the area of engagement with the fire of the fleet.
The advantage of this is that it allows your troops to avoid casualties, and at the same time, it can also maximize the effectiveness of killing and injuring the enemy. Of course, as for the extent of the destruction, it is difficult to say.
After all, the large-scale shelling of the fleet, that is not easy to control precisely. Those Krogan pirates are already very close to the colony, and the probability of being affected is absolutely 100%.
So Xiahoulin looked at the second plan listed by the intelligent system, that is, to send ground troops to conduct a strong attack and landing battle. Attack from the rear of those pirates and try to catch the opponent off guard. However, in the course of the engagement, there will be certain losses in the troops.
Xiahou Lin immediately chose the second plan, and ordered this landing battle to be based on robot troops, supplemented by a small number of living warriors.
The fleet, having received the order, immediately went into action, more than fifty huge warships. Immediately, at the fastest speed, he headed towards the orbit of the Phil Star in the fierce battle.
At this time, there was not a single battleship belonging to the pirates in the entire orbit. It turned out that except for the landing ships, all those battleships had been reimbursed by a salvo of the fleet under Xiahou Lin's command before. I didn't even have time to send a signal to the planet.
Look at the three assault landing ships that broke away from the fleet and landed below the planet. Xiahoulin leaned back in his seat, ready to wait for the next battle.
As for the safety of the raid landing ship, Xiahou Lin Ke was very relieved. At this moment, there is no threat of pirate warships in the planet's orbit. The weapons of the pirates on the ground alone could not threaten a warship with its thick armor and energy shields.
The Brilliant Vessel fleet's assault landing ships were also rebuilt during that fleet reorganization. These warships are 500 meters long, and although they are inconspicuous in the fleet, they are indeed very good at carrying landing troops.
These assault landing ships are based on the blueprints of the White Base Assault Ships under the command of the Federation in the world of Mobile Suit Gundam. Therefore, it also has a lot of attack power, and it will definitely not be worse than those cruisers in this world.
There are a total of five assault landing ships that landed on the planet's surface. Among them, it is capable of carrying 10,000 soldiers, and there are another sixty MS. Of course, no MS troops were sent in this battle.
Because Xiahou Lin didn't want to expose his full strength at the moment, he only used a part of the combat power of the fleet to deal with the pirates below.
After the five assault landing ships broke through into the atmosphere, the hull of the 500-meter-long ship immediately caused violent friction under the high-speed fall. However, as the anti-gravity engine was activated, the speed of the fall slowed down rapidly, and it disappeared invisibly.
After adjusting the landing position, the assault landing ship immediately turned on the optical stealth system, and then quickly landed towards the target area.
Of course, not long after the assault landing ship broke into the atmosphere, the Krogan pirates on the ground did spot the situation. However, their radar system could not confirm the location of the target in the sky.
Because the radar system actually encountered unprecedented interference at this moment, the anti-aircraft weapons in their hands could not confirm the target at all.
Faced with such a situation, this group of Krogan pirates, who had experienced a hundred battles, immediately took corresponding measures. Their leader immediately ordered the troops in the rear, armed with heavy weapons, to turn around and defend themselves. The forward attack on the colony was accelerated.
At this time, under the cover of optical invisibility, the assault landing ship successfully landed at a distance of about five kilometers from the pirates. The moment the heavy hull hit the ground, it emitted an unconcealable vibration.
The five assault landing ships could no longer hide their positions, and the pirates immediately used rocket launchers and vehicle-mounted heavy firepower to launch an indiscriminate salvo in the direction of the shock.
Suddenly, a dense burst of rockets and large-caliber artillery fire fiercely bombarded the five assault landing ships. The flames and smoke of the explosion suddenly covered the area.
The pirate attack was frenzied, and as soon as the enemy was identified, they poured devastating firepower. Enough to destroy all the warships in that area on the ground.
After more than three minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, the pirates finally stopped attacking. They believed that under the fire just now, the reinforcements from the colonies must have been buried in the explosion just now.
This sudden situation, of course, was also discovered by the colonies that were under siege. Many people looked at the scene in front of them and immediately guessed.
Many people have already thought that the direction of those pirate attacks is likely to be the people who received the distress signal. But now, these people are probably killed by pirates.
Faced with such a situation, those who were still working hard in the colony suddenly had an irreversible decline in morale.
In the area attacked by the pirates, the five assault landing ships had already deployed their energy shields at this moment. The landing hatch had been opened, and the troops, who had already been ready, quickly stepped out of the hatch.
With a heavy bipedal mecha as the core, a large number of multi-legged robots were quickly lined up, and then some of the Resurrection warriors dressed in combat suits boarded the all-terrain tactical vehicles.
After the rapid build-up of troops, the five assault landing ships immediately launched fire support. The beam cannons and missiles on the battleship immediately fired a salvo at the position of the pirates who had just attacked.
At the same time, the landing force that was ready immediately swarmed towards the enemy in front, and the reconnaissance planes, which had long been on standby in the sky, constantly conveyed the situation in front of them.
The pirates, who were preparing to go to the location of the assault on the landing ship to check the situation, did not expect an attack at all. So these guys were immediately caught off guard, and the powerful beam cannon and large-caliber missiles immediately turned their position into a sea of fire.
