February 3, 2209, Giant Star.

The newly arrived Aquila avoided the dangerous asteroid field and hovered in the synchronous orbit of the giant.

The spherical panoramic screen of the Aquila bridge displays a top-down view of the Giant's star captured by the ship's optical system, and the human settlements and the Exoskeleton stronghold are marked with different colors, making the high-resolution satellite map look as ridiculous as the random graffiti of a naughty child.

The Outer Bone Man is worthy of being a cosmic locust, and it took two years of hard work for mankind to make the half of the planet like Xie Ding initially regain its vitality, but it has only been a little more than a week since the Outer Bone Man landed, and the surface of the planet that was originally shrouded in green is bald one after another like psoriasis.

"Report, the optical system must be measured, and all enemy strongholds will be marked!"

"Good!" Ye Fei, who was always looking at the screen, looked away, "Black bear!" ”

"Here!"

"Let's get started, it's up to you." Ye Fei commanded lightly.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to me." The black bear was confident, "Assault ship No. 1 asks to break!" ”

Although three black bone men were lost in the process of evacuating the Blue Spotted Bone Mound, Black Bear and his first squadron successfully captured the other three black bone men back to the Aquila, and now they are frozen in the cold storage of the battleship.

Because it happened to coincide with the military's major reshuffle, the newly established strategic command center was full of confusion and much slower than usual, and it was not until shortly before the Aquila arrived at the Giant Star that Black Bear received a formal promotion order.

Black Bear wasn't the only one who was promoted, as the commando team grew rapidly after replenishing a large number of personnel. All veterans with actual combat experience will be promoted and become the backbone of the commando team after the expansion, but the promotion and reorganization need to be completed by returning to the homeland, and only Ye Fei knows the Tao at present.

"Assault ship No. 2 asks to break!" The sound of the saber immediately followed.

"Assault ship No. 3 asks for detachment!"

"Assault ship No. 4 asks for detachment!"

After reporting to the bridge according to the standard procedure, the four assault landing ships received an order to disengage at the same time, and the four battleships located on the two sides of the Aquila bounced silently from the Aquila in no particular order, and after flying for a certain distance, they flew separately in different directions of the Giant Star according to their respective mission areas, and plunged into the atmosphere, and the beautiful bright red flames immediately wrapped the airborne battleship layer by layer like a translucent eggshell. It looks like a dream. It's like a dream.

"Brothers, it's time to open meat!" The voice of the black bear echoed through the four battleships.

Artificial gravity and anti-gravity are actually two different applications of the same technique, and the assault landing ship is a bold attempt by the military, and the ship is equipped with a powerful anti-gravity system. Possesses the ability to fly within the atmosphere. But since the Aquila was in service. The four assault ships have never found a chance to show their skills, and the purpose of this battle is not only to destroy the enemy entrenched on the giant star, but also to test the combat effectiveness of the assault landing ships.

After a short period of free fall. After entering the stratosphere, the battleship completely offset the speed of landing, and was lightly suspended in the air, seemingly suspended without moving, but in fact it broke through the clouds at a very high speed and walked through the sea of clouds, and went straight to the mission target.

The anti-gravity system does not produce the same high-decibel noise as a jet propulsion system during flight, but the massive warship produces an extremely strong sonic boom when the speed exceeds the speed of sound, and the powerful sound waves are still clearly visible from tens of kilometers away.

However, the outer skeleton does not have ears, and no matter how loud the voice is, it is not a problem.

The bulldozer of the fourth assault ship of the wolf cub was the first to rush to the sky above the target, and the height of the battleship quickly decreased, and the situation on the ground was in full view.

This is an Outer Bone Man stronghold built on the basis of a landed biological warship, the huge biological warship has been dismembered in half, and the Outer Bone Man is building a dark brown fleshy building of unknown function not far from the wreckage of the biological battleship, the building is extremely tall, the bottom area is only half of the upper part, and the dark skin is unconsciously reminiscent of the wings of a bat.

"Report, our ship is in place!" The operator of the bulldozer said in time to the wolf cub in charge of the command.

Each assault ship was staffed by eight operators, who, although under the command of the commando team during wartime, were staffed by the Aquila.

The bulldozer is currently only six hundred meters from the vertical height of the ground, only about one-fifth of the length of the battleship, and the huge battleship casts a huge shadow on the ground, and all those with long eyes can see it clearly, and the outer bone man on the ground is naturally no exception.

"Free fire!" The wolf cub waved his arm fiercely, and the two petal-shaped circular structures on the left and right sides of the front of the assault ship's belly suddenly opened, revealing two reflective laser cannons with a diameter of forty-six meters in the ship, and the laser secondary cannon on the left abdomen was the first to complete the charge, and a laser beam suddenly shot out, and the beam showed an obvious light path under the action of the Tyndall effect, and after falling to the ground, it swept across the fan surface, unabashedly swept through the center of the outer bone man building, and instantly cut the strange building in half.

The foundation of the building was unstable, and after being divided into two pieces, it fell to the sides and fell heavily to the ground, and the fleshy building materials peeled off from the skeleton like a leaky ball because of their high weight, and slowly collapsed until they fell into the dust.

At least hundreds of Exoskeletons were crushed to death under the huge mountain of Roth because they couldn't escape.

I don't know if it's because it's not finished yet, the interior space of this building, which is divided into several large pieces, is empty, and it is impossible to guess what the Outer Skeleton Man is doing with this thing.

The light of the port side guns gradually dissipated, and the recharged starboard side guns also hurriedly opened fire, splitting the collapsed building into four in a criss-cross trajectory, and then the two secondary guns dismantled the wreckage of the biological warship that was only half left.

The main guns of the assault ship were located in the bow, in the event that the battleship was in the air. It is absolutely impossible to attack on the ground, and the 46-meter secondary artillery is simply a knife to kill a chicken against a ground target, and if the main gun with a diameter of 1.6 kilometers is used to attack the ground, it will not be a target, but a destruction of the ecological environment.

While the two secondary guns were firing their might, the other ship's weapons were not idle.

One hundred and sixty close-in laser cannons served as the main force of the ground attack, and the laser beams fired at the lowest power formed a dense beam jungle, and the outer skeletons who were still in chaos on the ground were named one by one, and each laser could pass through the top of the head of an outer skeleton man, leaving an inconspicuous scorch pit on the ground after penetrating the outer skeleton man's body.

One hundred and twenty close-in electromagnetic cannons are equally powerful. Wherever there are people with outer bones. will immediately take a shell. Although it was a solid shell, it was just as powerful when hit vertically on the ground more than 600 meters away.

The other weapons were not suitable for such a fight, so they did not fire.

The Outer Bone Man didn't fight back, after the initial chaos. The Outer Skeleton quickly organized and launched a counterattack. Dozens of spear-like bone spurs, more than four meters long, shot from all sides of the building towards the battleship in the sky. However, this very exotic weapon is not much different from tickling for an assault landing ship that deliberately increases the belly armor, and can be completely ignored.

Several waves of bone spears counterattacked, and only a few close defense guns that were directly hit were damaged.

Because it mainly performs ground strike missions. Most of the weapons of the assault landing ship are placed under the belly of the ship, and the density is naturally a little larger, even if the blind cat of the outer skeleton touches the random fire of the dead mouse, it can also happen to hit a few secondary guns.

The wolf cub could not have imagined that the battleship would be damaged by the counterattack of the Outer Skeleton, even if it was only a few close defense guns, which was unacceptable to him.

There are losses in one-sided crushing, what is going on?

The counterattack of the outer bone man ushered in a more violent air strike, the close defense laser cannon no longer uses the method of point fire to attack, but learns to sweep the battlefield like a secondary gun, more than a hundred lasers seem to be chaotic, but in fact they chase the outer bone man on the ground in an orderly manner, each laser sweep will cut at least one outer bone man, but where there is a bone spear shot out of the position is the top priority of the strike, whether it is a laser or an electromagnetic cannon shell are all hit in one go, the outer bone man hidden in the dark air defense fire is wiped out.

It wasn't until they had eliminated eighty percent of the enemy's anti-aircraft fire that the wolf cubs realized that the bone spears on the ground were actually huge insects, these insects had belly tails as thick as buttocks, and bone spears shot out of their hips one after another.

The wolf cub couldn't help but chrysanthemum tightened, and said in his heart that after such a mess, how much calcium must be supplemented to grow so many bones?

The fire control system on the ship could not hear his feelings, and after a sharp sweep, all the spearworms were turned into pulp in the indiscriminate bombardment of the electromagnetic cannon, and the only means of air supremacy was lost, and the end of the outer skeleton man inevitably came.

Because the fire control system of the assault ship is to automatically track and destroy the enemy, the four giant star native behemoths caught in the stronghold by the Outer Bone Man also suffered from the pond fish, three were cut into piles of huge pieces of meat by the laser, and one was smashed into a pulp of meat by the electromagnetic cannon, all of which were standard dead corpses.

Sixteen directional microwave cannons were also opened, and the superimposed microwaves swept across the battlefield, whether it was the Roshan that had been detached from the building or the shredded corpse of the outer skeleton man, they were all rapidly transformed into cooked meat under the intense microwave scorching, and the large pieces, like buildings and biological warships, were only matured on the surface, and the inside was still raw; spearworms are charred on the outside and tender on the inside; As for the corpses of the exposed skeletons, they were all roasted into shriveled jerky, and even the bone armor was dehydrated, becoming as dry and crisp as a biscuit.

Even if there is a hidden outer bone man, he can't escape a few years old.

It didn't take ten minutes from the time the battleship arrived over the Outer Bone Stronghold to the time when it was completely uprooted.

The importance of air supremacy has long been verified by countless wars of mankind, most of the wars between humans and the alien people take place in the universe, and the aviation rarely has the opportunity to play, but today, the assault landing ship has achieved another version of air strike, which is more powerful, faster and more efficient than the warplanes.

If you use fighter planes or commandos to annihilate the enemy's stronghold by means of land warfare, it will not only require a lot of effort, but also take a certain amount of risk, and it is so easy to complete the mission in an assault ship and achieve victory.

After carefully scanning it several times and making sure that no Outer Bone had survived, the wolf cub reported the battle to the Aquila and the other assault ships, and he commanded the battleship to rush to the next Outer Bone stronghold.

While the wolf cub won the victory, the assault ships under the command of Black Bear, Saber and Monkey all reached their respective targets. Rounds of onslaught unleashed as the group's exoskeletons dismantled the bio-warships and used them as building materials, and the four assault ships disintegrated their targets with little effective resistance.

But that's just the beginning.

The next four warships carried out non-stop clean-up operations according to the pre-demarcated area, and an average of one Exoskeleton stronghold disappeared every seven minutes, and an average of 47.6 Exoskeletons were eliminated every minute.

Ye Fei, who had reported to the wolf cub, directly shared the situation with Lu Jian, who had been waiting for news, and said with a confident smile: "Everything went according to plan, and the battle went very smoothly. ”

"Great!" Lu Jian didn't hide his admiration at all, "I didn't expect that your battleship is small, and your combat ability is no worse than our giant ship." I'm kind of looking forward to getting back home now. When the time comes, I'll change my shotgun once. ”

The giant ship became the main force of the expeditionary force. It was the result of the military's overestimation of the offensive capability of the Outer Bone Man and the overemphasis on the defensive power of the battleship, which proved that although the combat capability of the giant ship was strong, the excessive heavy armor directly affected the top speed of the battleship. And facilities like telescopic defense systems take up a lot of space on the ship. It can play a limited role in actual warfare. Many similar configurations on the ship are not justified.

The Aquila is the result of "setting things right", but it is not that the Aquila's combat effectiveness is necessarily stronger than that of giant ships, but that the size and equipment of the Aquila are the most suitable to fight against the Outer Skeletons.

The Yanjing is heavily armored and has strong defense. The Aquila hull is light and powerful, and if the Aquila and the Yanjing are allowed to go head-to-head, without using the speed of light torpedoes and power shock ships, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose - in the case of using these two high-end weapons, I am afraid that the entire First Fleet will not be the opponent of the Aquila battleship!

The speed of scientific and technological progress of mankind in recent years is too fast, and the techniques applied to the military are innumerable, to tell the truth, today's giant ships have fallen behind, and even the Aquila has to lag behind the follow-up warships of the same type.

"I believe this day won't be long." Ye Fei naturally had to pick something good to say at this time.

Lu Jian sighed wistfully: "It's a pity that these warships have only been used for so many years. ”

"I don't think the headquarters will let these warships idle, there are so many countries that can't build warships and want to form a space army, and our giant ships are all mature warships that have experienced actual combat and proven combat effectiveness, maybe the top has already found a buyer now, as long as it drives back to the local land, it will be sold at a high price immediately." Ye Fei inadvertently broke the military's plan with a word, "There is nothing wrong with selling the old ship to speed up the formation of the new ship." ”

Lu Jian smiled dumbly: "You kid, tell me the big truth, I still don't understand?" ”

"How can I be qualified to reason with you, don't I help you analyze and analyze!" Ye Fei hurriedly brushed off his responsibilities, "Besides, you are already a lieutenant general, after returning to your homeland, you can't command a battleship like me, right?" ”

"Who says it's not, the best result is to command a new fleet, but the new warships are so strong in combat that there is no need to form a fleet." Lu Jian's expression was gloomy, "It's okay, I'm an old bone, I should make way for a young man like you, go home to retire and hide." ”

The Aquila does not have the ability to carry the bone mound head-on, but it can completely wear down the enemy's strength with speed, or directly kill the bone mound, and such a battleship can destroy the combined fleet when it is placed in the first battle of the bone mound.

The construction cost of such a warship is certainly not low, and the construction period is not much shorter; if it were not for the arsenal of mechanical civilization, it would have been absolutely impossible for the military to do anything to undo the trick of the three major branches of the armed forces to expand the heavenly army.

Ye Fei searched his stomach and wanted to comfort the old general for a few words, but at this time, he received a new battle report, and the four assault ships had cleared out more than ten Outer Bone Man strongholds, Ye Fei frowned when he looked at the statistics.

Lu Jian noticed that Ye Fei's expression was wrong, and immediately asked, "What's the situation?" What went wrong? ”

"All the best." Ye Fei hurriedly shook his head, "I just think it's strange, the strongholds of the outer bone hybrids were all built by dismantling biological warships, it is said that there are only a dozen outer bone hybrids in a biological battleship, why are there so many outer bone mongrels in these strongholds?" ”

No one had a better say in this regard than Ye Fei and his commando team, after all, not long ago, they had captured dozens of small fish ships in Gliese 581.

"I'm still thinking it's going on, it's easy." Lu Jian was stunned at first, and then changed to a crying and laughing expression, "The outer bone people on the ground not only landed with the biological battleship in the later stage, most of them had already landed on the ground before the bone mound was destroyed, and they just gathered near the biological battleship. ”

"I see, hehe, I think the biological warships of this community are relatively special, and the number of exoskeletons carried is relatively large." Ye Fei looked suddenly enlightened.

In fact, Ye Fei didn't have much research on biological warships, and the only knowledge he had came from the veterinarian's explanation, which was not much better than others.

Ye Fei's gaze swept over the battle report at a glance, suddenly stopped on a line of words, raised his head and asked, "Commander, the No. 2 assault ship is about to arrive at the wreckage of the Yangtze River...... Aren't the immigrants there clamoring for independence? Saber asks whether to destroy them by the way, and deter immigrants from other settlements. ”

"Humph! Do these bunnies think Lao Tzu doesn't dare to kill? I don't know more and more about what is good or bad, and I dare to be independent? Lu Jian was annoyed, "Tell Saber to leave them alone, I want to see if there are any other people who dare to make trouble with them." ”

Ye Fei smiled slightly: "Listen to you." (To be continued......)
