414 Jedi Strikes Back
The straight-line distance between Ye Fei and the battleship was about 300 kilometers, and theoretically, the flight speed of Mach 15 would only take more than a minute to reach. But the faster the speed, the higher the air resistance to which the shell is subjected, and considering the deceleration caused by the air resistance, it is simply impossible for the shell to hit the target in less than a minute.
The speed of Mach 15 is extremely fast, but compared to the ultra-high speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second in space, it is only a drop in the bucket.
It's not that the scissors delay time, and the ghost is unwilling to support Ye Fei, but the speed of the cannonball is not as fast as possible.
Only two reactors of a battleship are back in operation, and the energy supply of the battleship is still limited, so the acceleration ability of the reconnect gun is naturally limited.
The second is that the speed of the cannonball cannot exceed the first cosmic velocity of the giant star, otherwise it will fly directly into space.
At the last point, the earth is round, and the faster the speed of the shell, the more difficult it is to control the direction of flight, and it is likely to directly cross the target and hit the air...... Ye Fei has reached the most critical moment there, whether this wave of shells can hit before a complete defeat is in two words, and the possibility of waiting for the second wave of fire support is very slim.
Different from Jiang Xue's worries about scissors, the news of the imminent arrival of fire support inspired every fighting commando, and the soldiers instantly burst out with super combat effectiveness, and the dense bullet rain at the expense of blood suppressed the approaching outer skeleton man at a distance of twenty meters!
Reinforcements and long-range fire support are two completely different concepts, the former can only indicate that the saber has drawn some commandos from other directions, and maybe some soldiers' lives will be paid for it; The latter means that part of the battleship's weapons is still intact!
In the minds of the soldiers of the Celestial Army, the battleship is an irreplaceable home. How can you not let them be ecstatic?
Ordinary exoskeletons can't rush up, and although the heavy-armored exoskeletons aren't afraid of bullets, they can't withstand the kinetic energy carried by bullets. And the quantitative change caused the qualitative change, and in an instant, hundreds of thousands of bullets hit the body, even if the defense of the heavy armor outer bone man was strong and incomparable, it was also unbearable, and a few who rushed to the front were finally smashed into a heavy shell by the rain-like barrage.
Ye Fei's move of moving stones reminded the soldiers who couldn't squeeze into the hole, and one after another big stones were moved out of the cave and padded under their feet, and the members of a detachment got the shooting angle, and the firepower density at the entrance of the cave increased sharply. Deng Shi stabilized the precarious situation.
But Ye Fei didn't show a trace of relaxation. The brow was locked tighter.
As the saying goes, strong firepower consumes a lot of ammunition in exchange, and with such a density of firepower, it won't take long to run out of bullets. Including the supply crates left behind when the landing craft left!
About seventy kilometers away. The two landing craft were flying at full speed in the direction where Ye Fei was. The low-flying landing craft startled the indigenous chickens and dogs on the ground.
"Look there!" The pilot of the landing craft suddenly pointed to the sky, and the saber sitting next to him subconsciously looked up, only to see a dense slender streamer above his head streak across the daytime sky. Walk through the sea of clouds.
The direction in which the shells flew completely coincided with the direction of the landing craft.
"That's ...... Cannonball? Saber had never seen an electromagnetic cannon fired from the atmosphere, and he was immediately fascinated by the dazzling light in the air.
Deadly weapons, but also unknown splendor.
Ye Fei had been keeping an eye on the time between the battles, counting down second by second, but the time limit of one minute had already passed, and the fire support had not yet arrived, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
What's wrong?
After getting along for so many years, Ye Fei believes that scissors will never drop the chain at this life-and-death moment.
In just a minute, the detachment at the front had exhausted all its ammunition, and since the rear was blocked by another detachment, if they withdrew, the detachment behind them would have to get out of the way, and in this way, the fire that had been cut in half would inevitably be broken.
The Outer Skeleton Man can rush to a distance of more than twenty meters in a few seconds, and at that time, it will be too late to organize the second layer of defense, and it will fall into a full-scale melee dogfight.
Several anxious fighters were forced to pull out their pistols and shoot.
Ye Fei pulled away the soldier on the far left: "Quick, retreat from here, reserve, go up!" ”
The fighters in the front row immediately ran in an orderly manner to the gap on the left, the detachment that stepped on the stone strode forward, and the detachment that had been waiting for work stood on the stone.
It took less than ten seconds to retreat from the front team to the reserve team in place, but it was a short time of ten seconds, and the outer bone man rushed directly to ten meters outside the cave.
The situation was precarious, and the order to retreat had already surged into Ye Fei's throat.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds suddenly blew in the air, and a gale suddenly blew through the fierce wind, which instantly cut through the military formation of dozens of meters, and the dense outer skeleton people suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and I don't know how many stumps and broken arms flew around, and brown blood soaked the earth like a torrential rain.
After the gale killed countless Outer Skeleton Figures, it suddenly exploded, and dozens of Outer Skeleton Figures flew into the sky.
What's the situation?
The soldiers were momentarily stunned by the sudden surprise, but soon they realized that it was not the wind, but the shells from the battleship!
The speed of the shell was so fast that after it landed and exploded, a dull roar sounded in the air - it was a sonic boom from supersonic flight!
One after another, the fast-flying cannonballs rushed into the enemy's army wrapped in a fierce wind, and the irregular landing point smashed the dense ranks of the Outer Skeleton Men to pieces, and I don't know how many Outer Skeleton Men died unexpectedly.
A cannonball swept more than 50 meters outside the cave, directly cutting off the attack level of the outer skeleton man, and the enemy who rushed to the entrance of the cave lost their backup and was immediately wiped out by the morale-boosting team members outside the cave.
Ye Fei deliberately picked on the heavy armor outer bone man, and in such a short period of time, he killed seventeen heavy armor outer bone people by himself.
Repelled the attack of the Outer Skeletons, and the cheers in the cave suddenly resounded in the sky.
The earth was shaken by an explosion at close range, and the earth and rubble on the top of the cave fell in a torrent, and the cave seemed to collapse at any moment, but no one cared about the cheering warriors.
In order to support the trapped Ninth Squadron, Scissors worked hard. Hundreds of shells were fired in one go, and the misplaced shells not only taught the outer skeletons besieging the cave a severe lesson, but also dozens of shells fell in the indigenous cities, killing many of the outer skeletons who occupied the city.
The shells fired by the reconnect cannon are all solid shells, and they don't explode themselves, but when the cannonballs can't stop the speed of the cannonballs, the power of the sonic boom is known to an earthling.
It is not so much that the skeleton of the cannonball as it pierces through the enemy array, it is more like it is killed by the shock wave of the sonic boom.
Due to the presence of shock waves, the radius of destruction of artillery shells has virtually expanded dozens of times.
And the moment the shell touches the ground, it is not difficult for the flying earth to form an effect similar to a chemical explosion. It's even more powerful!
The Ninth Squadron rejoiced. The Bone Man who commanded the Outer Bone Man in battle was furious.
Humanity's endless means of striking far exceeded its understanding, and although it did not know what exactly had just fallen from the sky, it could guess that those things were related to an enemy whose origin was a mystery.
Although the short bombardment caused heavy losses to the Outer Skeletons, the large army of the Outer Skeletons was in the city. Such a loss is not taken to heart.
Annoyed, the bones once again gave the order to mobilize an army.
More than a dozen exoskeletons galloped away. Run to deliver the latest orders from the commander.
The enemy who stormed the cave suffered huge losses. But after the shelling was over, at least a few thousand intact Exoskeletons stood up on the hillside, and they didn't even have orders from the Skeleton Humans. Spontaneously organized another wave of attacks.
Ye Fei stood in the middle of the first row and shouted: "Hold it down for me, save bullets, and fight again when you get closer!" As he spoke, he raised his sniper rifle flat, and with a "bang", an exoskeleton man fell in response.
Not only Ye Fei, but the other three snipers also came to the entrance of the cave, shooting one shot after another, sniping the outer skeleton man intermittently.
There is not much ammunition left in the ninth squadron, they are all veterans, and no one wastes bullets at this time. However, the sniper is not a melee unit, and there is no need to obey the order to engage the enemy in melee combat, which is also what Ye Fei has just explained.
Don't look at the sniper's firepower is not fierce, but the killing efficiency is much higher than that of other infantry, basically one enemy per shot.
Several snipers wanted to concentrate the 12.7mm magazines for Ye Fei, but their kindness was rejected by Ye Fei.
With his marksmanship, a 5.5 mm bullet can kill a heavy armored skeleton man, and the problem that can be solved with a small-caliber bullet is not necessary to waste a large-caliber bullet.
No matter who has a 12.7mm bullet, it can kill a heavily armored skeleton with a single shot.
It's a pity that none of these snipers have an external laser module.
The outer skeleton man approached step by step, and was about to enter Ye Fei's estimated shooting range, he raised his arm, and was about to give the order to shoot.
At this time, the two landing craft finally arrived on the battlefield, and the reinforcements didn't even have to look at the radar, and they could guess where the Ninth Squadron was just by the movements of the Outer Skeleton.
The landing craft circled over the cave, then swooped down and hovered above the mouth of the cave.
Heavily armed fighters jumped out of the landing craft and landed on both sides of the hole, a whistling rain of bullets swept through the enemy line. The two landing craft were not idle, and the Gatling guns and small-caliber rapid-fire guns for fire support ploughed through the team of the Exoskeletons, nailing them to death in the crosshairs.
As soon as the saber landed, he rushed into the cave: "One-"
"What's the funeral, Lao Tzu is not dead yet!" Ye Feizhao's saber was a punch in the chest.
Saber smiled: "Let's go, the outer bone mongrel is transferring troops from the city." "The landing craft flew in the sky and could be seen clearly, and it was estimated that in a few minutes, the enemy's remobilized army would be able to enter the cave.
Ye Fei knew very well that it was impossible to destroy the enemy with the men and horses of these three squadrons, so he immediately ordered: "All of them, empty the external weapon module, and the landing craft is ready to land!" ”
There are few people in the Ninth Squadron who still have a useful external weapon module, and there is basically no need to carry out this order. This was not the case with the two squadrons that had just landed, and the moment after the order was given, lasers, artillery shells, rockets, missiles, grenades...... All sorts of individual heavy weapons flew vertically and horizontally, sweeping the attacking Outer Skeleton Man over and over again.
The Outer Bone Army suffered heavy losses and could no longer organize a threatening offensive.
A landing craft stopped firing and landed nimbly in the open space at the edge of the cave.
"The ninth squadron boarded the boat, and the sixth squadron was divided into half of the people!" Ye Fei rushed two steps, turned on the thruster and jumped onto the top of the five-meter-high landing craft, and the rest of the Ninth Squadron quickly got into the landing craft.
Half of the men and horses of the 6th Squadron quickly ran to the landing craft. One by one, they fastened themselves to the armor outside the landing craft.
The space inside the landing craft is limited, and although there is a certain amount of redundancy, it is simply impossible for two landing craft to fit three heavily armed assault squadrons, and even if the external weapon modules, which occupy two-fifths of the total height of the combat armor, are discarded, they will not be able to fit so many people.
Fortunately, the carrying capacity of the landing craft is very high, and in order to cope with the complex battlefield situation, many fixed structures are set up outside the boat, which can firmly fix the combat armor outside the boat. The purpose of this was to let the landing craft play the role of a helicopter gunship and strengthen the firepower outside the boat, but it was only used by Ye Fei to transport personnel today.
After half of the men and horses of the sixth squadron were fixed. The landing craft immediately took off. Take over from the companions on patrol in the air.
"Sabre, speed up!" Ye Fei, who fixed himself above the wheelhouse of the landing craft, saw at a glance a large number of exoskeletons pouring in the direction of the city.
"Understood, right away." Saber replied.
Looking down from the sky, the fighters on the ground quickly got into the landing craft. Half of the men and horses of the fourth squadron got the opportunity to "plug in".
"Cockpit. I'm number one. "The landing craft on the ground took off. Ye Fei relieved himself and called the driver under his feet.
"Cockpit received, please speak."
"Turn right twenty degrees and move forward at a constant speed to keep the landing craft stable. Maintain the current height! ”
"Roger!" Although he didn't know what Ye Fei wanted to do, the driver immediately executed the order.
Ye Fei, who was sitting above the cockpit, kept staring at a small mountain bag on the ground, where there was a white bone man, and more than a dozen blue bone people had been surrounding the white bone man.
The landing craft quickly approached, giving the Skeleton a bad feeling.
The nobleman was not cannon fodder, he immediately ordered a retreat, and was the first to run down the hill.
Ye Fei sneered and said to himself, "Want to run? It's late! After saying that, the 12.7 mm large-caliber bullet on the top collapsed half of the white bone man's head with one shot.
If it was an outer bone group that had been in deep contact with humans, no nobleman would risk his life to approach the war zone, but unfortunately this white bone man didn't know how perverted the weapons of the Dao humans were, and the result of getting too close was that he died unexplained - if it hadn't been curious to send a team to intercept Xiao Qiang, it would not have attracted the support of the Ninth Squadron, nor would it have triggered a follow-up battle, let alone give away its life!
If the white bone man knows underground, I don't know if he will regret his intestines in the face of this consequence.
The white-boned man who was killed ran out three more steps before falling to the ground, and as soon as the white-boned man died, the blue-boned man behind him suddenly exploded.
Ye Fei didn't want to give it a chance at all, the sniper rifle fired again and again, and the machine guns and other weapons on the landing craft, including the soldiers on the outside, also shot together, calmly annihilating all the blue-bone people on the ground in seconds.
The commandos can hit the outer skeleton man, but the outer bone man can't reach the landing craft in the sky, and the air strike is really sharp!
Without doing anything, Ye Fei simply took two landing craft to meet the army of the Outer Bone Man who was rushing quickly, and with an indiscriminate air attack, the Outer Bone Man was beaten to the point that the head rat was running and urinating, and then walked away unhurriedly.
Yes, the human sacrificed two people and injured seven people, all of them were soldiers led by Xiao Qiang, and the commandos suffered no casualties, but the total weight of the ammunition consumed exceeded thirteen tons.
The landing craft did not fly far, and after leaving the war zone and arriving at a safe area, Ye Fei ordered the two landing craft to find an open space to land, and put down the Ninth Squadron that had replenished its ammunition, and then the two landing craft carried their respective squadrons and flew away quickly to continue to support the other trapped teams.
Ye Fei watched the landing craft disappear into the air, and couldn't help but sigh silently, this is good, follow the Ninth Squadron back to three hundred kilometers away, and those hundred kilometers are in vain.
"Rest in place!" Ye Fei handed over the work of organizing the team to Ni Hong, and connected to the communication at the highest level: "Bridge and bridge, I am No. 1, please answer when you hear it!" ”
"Received on the bridge, please speak one." It was scissors that replied.
"How's the situation with the battleship?" Ye Fei, who had long wanted to ask this question, asked in a deep voice.
After being hit by a stubborn beast, the situation of the battleship was certainly not much better, but with such a dense artillery bombardment, it seemed that the situation of the battleship was better than he imagined.
Scissors sighed helplessly: "The equipment is being overhauled, and the situation is being summarized." Only reactors 11 and 12 are still working, and reactor 1 is located at the edge of the impact zone, so it should be fine, but the passage to reactor 1 is full of plasma leaking from other reactors, and it is impossible to get close at all, and it is impossible to count on for a while. ”
"Only two reactors?" Ye Fei was disappointed, but after thinking about it, he wanted to open it again.
The magnetic engine and the tachyon engine are the big consumers of electricity on the battleship, and it is not clear what happened to the magnetic engine, but the tachyon engine was finished before it crashed. The main weapons are all reimbursed except for one heavy gun, and two reactors, even one, are enough to supply the domestic power of the whole ship, and whether the No. 1 reactor can be started or not has little impact.
"Where's the supplies?" Ye Fei asked again.
"It's still counting, but the battleship didn't explode, the impact was concentrated in the power zone at the stern, and there should be no loss in the warehouse."
"That's good." Ye Fei breathed a long sigh of relief.
Man is iron and rice is steel, in this ghost place, who dares to eat native species indiscriminately? Or the food safety brought by yourself.
"No. 1, in fact, there are not many places where the impact was damaged, most of the equipment was damaged when it crashed and hit the ground, I have scattered all the people who have withdrawn, how much can be repaired." Scissors briefly introduced the current situation, "But the back hit was too bad, and now the head of the stubborn beast is still embedded in the battleship, and there is no possibility of repairing." ”
Ye Fei smiled bitterly: "What to repair, take everyone back to the battleship, let's honestly wait for the rescuers." "There are enough supplies in the battleship, and it is not a problem to eat for three or two years.
After all, a battleship is a battleship, and even if it has crashed, the heavy armor is stronger than the strongest fortress. Hiding in the battleship, no matter whether the Outer Bone People or the Natives don't want to break the Yangtze River, unless an asteroid is thrown from the sky.
But the missiles on the battleship are also not vegetarian, want to hit the battleship? Let's get past the interception first.
The scissors wanted to say something more, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, more than a dozen bright spots suddenly appeared on the radar, and the words that came out changed immediately: "What's the situation?" ”
"Biological Battleship Found in the Air!" Ruan Peng shouted, "It's flying in the direction of my ship!" ”
"What?" Ye Fei was shocked, "Battle Alert-" (To be continued......
