When a curtain of light appeared on the periphery of the sea building, blocking all the fighters' ground attacks, Martins was shocked.

However, then he realized that this was not a Void Shield.

Although it is a bit similar, it is far from reaching the level of the Void Shield, and it should be just a simple energy shield.

The gap between the two is a bit big.

The Void Shield is not essentially a direct defense against attacks, but rather creates a spatial discrepancy, forming a thin film that envelops the protected target. When the attack comes, most types of shells, missiles, and energy rays will be transferred to another space when they come into contact with this film. And the protected target will also be unscathed.

The defensive effectiveness of the Void Shield is far stronger than that of a regular energy shield. Successful defense will not affect the protected target in any way.

But there are drawbacks.

The Void Shield generator is too large to be miniaturized; The Void Shield has a high energy consumption; It's expensive; inability to identify and divert slow targets; In the event of an overload caused by too much fire in a short period of time, some attacks may be missed......

However, these flaws are nothing compared to traditional energy shields, after all, many shortcomings are common. For example, if you want to achieve the same protective effect, the energy consumption of the traditional energy shield will only be higher; Energy shields can't stop slow targets; If it's overloaded, it won't miss the attack, but it will be directly shattered, so no attack can be stopped, and the energy shield generator even has a chance to explode inside......

In real comparison, there are only two advantages of energy shields: they can be miniaturized and cheaper.

Martins is a battle-hardened and well-informed. After he judged that the following one was not a Void Shield, he could further judge more information.

This shield generator seems to be quite average, and the technical level is not high. However, there seems to be a huge energy reserve behind it. Unless you get rid of the maximum amount of firepower it can withstand, it will be very difficult to overload it with multiple firepower strikes.

Chances?

Martins ordered the entire fighter formation to carry out another all-fire strike, and in the process, he carefully watched the reaction of the entire energy shield, and the final judgment was:

No way.

Overloading the shield generator with firepower, and directly dry blasting the shield generator, requires two notches of firepower.

Even if you count the frigate in the orbit of the planet, it can reach the level of the former, but it cannot meet the requirements of the latter.

Replace it with a quintet, it must be no problem, not to mention anything else, just smash down with a shot of 'Wrath of the Loyal Heir', an L-class macro cannon, one shot can kill this shield generator, no matter how much energy support there is behind it, it is useless.

But isn't that something right now?

The 20 S-class weapons on the frigate that can hit the ground, even if they are shot down at the same time, they can't directly finish the shield generator at the moment. And with some kind of near-infinite energy behind this shield generator, it will soon be able to recover before the next round of strikes.

In other words, it is no longer realistic to destroy this offshore platform by long-range fire.

At least not until that shield generator is knocked out.

"That is, you want to make a small-scale raid, storm and break the shield generator, and then evacuate, and then call for a long fire to destroy this offshore platform?"

"I'm familiar with this......"

Martins smiled, but fell silent again.

Familiar is indeed familiar, Space Marines have done too much work like this. In his two hundred years of combat experience, he has performed similar tasks countless times, and he knows exactly what the process is, what the key points are.

Now that he was doing similar work, he felt familiar and laughed at himself.

But no amount of work and experience can hide the great danger of such a task.

The greatest danger comes from the unknown intelligence.

What's in the building below, how strong is the enemy, and where are the targets they want to destroy...... I don't know anything about these things.

In this case, you shouldn't actually go in.

Even if it is an all-space war team, there is a possibility that the car will overturn, after all, no one knows what bull ghosts and snake gods will be encountered below.

Thinking rationally, they can choose to retreat this time, and then wait for more information.

Martins was richly empowered, and he could say a word about it.

But he didn't choose to do it.

There are three main considerations.

First of all, he didn't want to make a failed operation when he joined the alliance and officially assumed the command of the operation for the first time.

Of course, he didn't think much about this factor, but he had a little thought. He was still a warrior at heart, and there were not so many political considerations.

Secondly, he was very suspicious, even if he retreated this time, what should he do if he wanted to get more information later? Whether you want to infiltrate this offshore platform or send people in to do internal response, it is very difficult to engage in intelligence work. However, there won't be much time left for them, and if they don't have time to spend months on intelligence, who knows when these cultists' plans will be accomplished?

In addition to these off-the-field factors, there is another core reason that has contributed to the decline of more troops, and that is...... The enemy doesn't seem to be strong enough.

Or rather, these soldiers of the Governor's Special Operations Brigade are too strong.

With all the air and space fire support blocked by the energy shield, they were fighting alone, but they still stood still underneath.

They did lose a dozen fighters in the event of a sudden attack at first, but then they counterattacked very sharply, not only using laser guns to kill many lizardmonsters that emerged from the surrounding area, but also taking advantage of this opportunity to quickly get out of the cabin, using the huge size of the wind falcon as a cover, and building a defense line in a zigzag shape.

With the situation slightly stabilized, the enemy was a little anxious. Some of the biochemical shells were fired, and the corrosive effect made the falcon unable to take off have traces of damage on the surface.

But at this time, those special operations soldiers also responded quickly.

They pulled out multiple bazookas, fired them in the direction the biochemical cannonballs came from.

Multiple rockets trailing tail flames have had a good effect, at least for the time being, with no new biochemical shells coming in.

Then, they even improvised a five-man combat team, and under the cover of their comrades, launched an assault on the interior of a building, preparing to clear the enemy there, and by the way, they were able to establish a second defensive point and expand the living space.

Since these special combat team members below have fought a good situation, what reason does Martins, as the commander, have to give up on them?

In his channel, the soldiers of the 10th Brigade also sounded the cry of battle. Among them, the mortal battle hero named Lacroxia is still proud of himself, hoping to be able to go to the ground as a second group to support the battle, save and cover his teammates can withdraw.

A smile appeared at the corner of Martins' mouth:

"I'll allow you to go down, but your goal isn't just to cover your teammates. I want you to clear the six interior structures around the landing site and create an opportunity for our follow-up troops to land! ”

Hearing this request, Lacroxia was stunned for a moment, and then responded decisively: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Immediately after that, a three-plane formation began to rapidly descend in altitude.

The one who leads the way is the current out-and-out ace pilot of the Alliance Air Force, Lieutenant Kutch.

He and his wingmen, carrying more than forty special operations elites, including Lacroxia, approached the energy shield after descending to a certain height.

This is the most dangerous stage.

If it's too fast, it's not going to work. The energy shield was only about eighty meters above the ground, and if it was too fast, it would be blocked. Moreover, if the speed is too fast, the distance of 80 meters will not be enough for them to slow down and land, and then they will fall to the ground and be finished.

But the enemy's anti-aircraft fire was at this time.

The enemy seems to have set up anti-aircraft guns, and some biological and chemical shells are shooting into the sky.

If the speed is not fast enough, the enemy's hit rate will naturally increase significantly.

Fortunately, the Wind Falcon is not a crispy aircraft, it is a fast attack boat, with strong armor on the outside, and the protection is slightly better than that of armored vehicles.

They withstood the enemy's anti-aircraft fire and successfully passed the energy shield.

Once inside the energy shield, they weren't polite to those enemies.

Outside of the energy shield, they can't fight; Once inside, you can release your firepower with confidence.

As the three Wind Falcon descended, they released six airborne missiles on board, setting off a sea of fire. Immediately after that, the machine guns began to fire in all directions, striking at the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, dumbing it out, and at the same time providing some fire cover and help to the special operations elites who are still fighting on the ground.

The enemy's firepower was suppressed to a certain extent, and the three wind falcons below were able to take advantage of this opportunity and start taking off.

It's just that one of them seems to have a problem and can't fly anymore.

But the other two that managed to take off also ran out of their own mounted missiles before they could break away from the Nenglai shield at an altitude of 80 meters.

At this moment, the three newly landed wind falcons have begun to unload.

In fact, they have not landed at the moment, and they are still about ten meters above the ground.

But at this height, the hatch opened, and the special elites began to jump down one by one.

It's not even a rope drop, just jump.

For ordinary people, more than ten meters is enough to fall to death. But for the special operations elite led by Lacroxia, it is an acceptable height. Soldiers above T3 have already reached, or even slightly surpassed, the limits of human beings in terms of physical fitness, not to mention a set of exoskeletons that can act as a cushion when landing.

After putting down the soldiers in the cabin, Lieutenant Kutch did not leave directly like other fighters, but chose to maneuver at a low altitude of 80 meters, and assisted the ground troops with machine guns, providing valuable heavy fire support.

In a limited space, he manipulated the wind falcon to dodge and move. Although the speed can't be raised, I'm afraid of hitting somewhere in one breath, but it gives full play to the flexibility of the wind falcon. The flight trajectory highlights an unpredictability, and it is in this way that he dodges a lot of attacks, and at the same time, he is able to coldly fire a cannon downwards and achieve some results.

With valuable air support, Lacroxia's team successfully landed, and converged with the elite of special operations on the ground, and began to follow the goal given by Martins earlier, heading towards the six buildings around the landing field, and carrying out the clearing work one by one.

This offshore platform is about an irregular rectangular platform about 2,000 meters long and 1,000 meters wide. The most central position is a conical tower head about 30 meters high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom; The periphery, surrounded by high-density buildings, is mostly a variety of circular warehouses or towers. Many pipes surround and connect these buildings.

The entire platform, and a considerable part of it, is below sea level. The largest conical tower in the center is faintly visible, and a considerable part of it is below sea level. Huge pillars and pipes support the bottom of the platform and support the entire platform from the bottom of the sea.

The landing ground chosen by the coalition special forces is close to the southern edge, and only here seems to be a relatively large, relatively flat place suitable for the falcon to land.

And when Lacroxia led the people to empty the six buildings around the landing site, the pressure on the landing site was much less.

Soon, the third wave, also three Wind Falcons carrying more than forty special operations elites, came down again.

This time, they also opened up the southward direction, which can be regarded as a complete solution to the enemy on one side.

Immediately afterwards, Lacroxia personally led the team and began to break through to the center of this sea complex, which was almost the size of a small town, and set up defensive points along the way, leaving two or three soldiers to guard the key points.

They quickly entered the central tower and cleared the enemy inside.

And here, they made two big discoveries.

For one, they found their way down from the central tower, where the iron gate was closed and it was difficult to enter, but under the hot melt bomb, it was certainly no different from a papier-mâché.

Second, they opened a few storage cans on the offshore platform, and then saw a scene that they will never forget.

They thought that there might be all sorts of things in those canned silos.

But they couldn't have imagined that it was full of people.

Densely packed, huddled together, people who are dead, but alive.

The soldiers who opened the door of the canning warehouse from above saw countless eyes looking upward, and saw people whose faces and bodies were crowded together and almost soaked in pus.

They were alive, they were still squirming, some disgusting force sustaining them. They bear this boundless pain alive and soberly.

The itching, the sharp pain, the maggots crawling up and down, the despair of wanting to die, almost turned into substance. As soon as the storage door opened, some kind of psionic energy was formed along with the strong stench.

The special forces who opened the door, despite wearing a full-coverage tactical helmet and anti-poison effect, still felt like they smelled terrible. This feeling of despair and anguish invaded along with the smell, making him dizzy, and if it weren't for the help of his comrades, he would have fallen from it.
