Chapter 254, How Can There Be Space Marines?
Fifteen red-armored warriors, that is naturally an immortal bird.
These imperial angels were the first to disembark from the landing ship.
This kind of landing ship, which comes from the Bladed Tiger, is named the V-type landing ship.
The size of the landing ship used for orbital landing operations is quite large. One can carry 500 people, as well as the corresponding weapons and equipment, and even heavy vehicles.
And it is equipped with jamming devices, which can protect against anti-aircraft fire; Equipped with a small energy shield generator, it has a certain ability to resist attacks; The armor itself is also relatively strong.
Aside from the fact that they are not armed and not so fast, this kind of landing ship is quite a fierce thing and expensive to build, unlike a normal civilian transport ship.
Such landing ships, on the Bladed Tiger, there are only two such landing ships.
Plus some small landing ships.
If the whole force is dispatched, about 2,000 troops can be transported to the ground at one time, and then the cycle repeats, the round-trip time, and then counting the loading and unloading time, the maximum can run once in six hours.
It's not very efficient, but it doesn't work.
The Bladed Tiger itself is not particularly large, this is just a frigate.
It looks like there are about 10,000 people in the crew, and 30,000 people are already overloaded, and it even occupies a lot of other space, temporary residence, and equipment is also stuffed, so much so that at that time, Yelicia also complained about Gu Hang: "The bladed tiger has become a fat pig." ”
And on the Bladed Tiger, the configuration of the landing ship is so shabby.
For example, the kind of large-scale landing operations are either large starship warships or specialized landing starships.
According to estimates, Gu Hang wanted to send all his 35,000 men to the ground, and even if the landing ship operated non-stop for a moment, it would take more than 100 hours and more than four days.
This period is actually the time when the landing force is most vulnerable.
But the problem is that the army of the Kingdom of Luhmann is more vulnerable.
The main force was besieging the outskirts of the town, and the troops that could be sent were few and of low quality.
The first wave of coalition troops directly defeated all the enemies who surrounded the landing ground.
Later, more troops came down and began to expand outward, building temporary positions where they were to hold for a while.
But at the same time, Gu Hang also made a request for the speed of the soldiers. A synthetic battalion will set off first and fight forward.
After a day's work, when the 1st Wind Extinguishing Brigade was almost able to assemble, they would complete the assembly and continue to rush forward, stabbing through the enemy, leaving a small number of troops to guard the landing ground.
Then, after the next few divisions and brigades come down, they will follow in the footsteps of the troops that set off in front of them and fight outward.
This is the situation that the Luman Kingdom hastily created to block the troops to face.
Of course, this is not as steady as waiting for four days to complete the assembly of troops before fighting. But at the same time, the opponent was not given time to prepare, and with the gap in the military quality of the two sides, it was really pierced.
However, none of this has much to do with the Space Marines.
While the follow-up troops were still disembarking and assembling, they had already received orders from the Governor, took three wind falcons, and began to rush towards the target location.
Three hundred kilometers, the wind falcon arrived at a rapid pace.
To prevent being beaten, the wind falcon flies very low. Orbital anti-aircraft guns cannot hit targets that fly too low, and the firing angle is limited.
As long as the Wind Falcon doesn't really fly over several orbital anti-aircraft positions in Pincer.
It's not easy to fly at low altitudes, but here, it's pretty smooth. The main reason is that the terrain outside the city of Pinsel is relatively flat, and there are no high mountains that come up every three or five times; The flight performance of the fast attack boat is strong; In addition, the pilots are not rookies when the Air Force was first formed, and now after a long flight time, one by one can be regarded as honing their skills.
And their first goal was to attack the artillery positions of the Luhmann regiment, which was besieging the suburban town.
In the early days of the battle, the artillery units of the Luhmann Kingdom were suppressed very badly. The range and power cannot keep up, and the mobility is also poor, and as soon as it emerges, before it has time to transfer, it will be counter-bombed by the coalition artillery.
Recently, however, they have regained their strength, mainly because the number of artillery of the coalition is not enough, and the ammunition is even more insufficient.
But now, it's a big disaster.
They weren't defenseless.
After the Luman army observed the incoming air forces, especially after judging that their target was an artillery position, they quickly informed the front line of the enemy situation, asked them to deal with it carefully, and mobilized troops to deploy defenses.
However, it was useless.
What can you do if you are prepared?
The wind falcon didn't dare to be too arrogant, and after a round of missiles from a distance, it slipped away, and did not carry out low-altitude strafing, which would give the enemy a chance, in case it was unlucky and was killed by those sentry mechs, it would be a big loss.
As for the Space Marines, they jumped straight out of the Wind Falcon.
It's so convenient for the Falcon to send a Space Marine, it's not like sending a regular soldier at all, either you have to land or you have to land on the ground.
For the Space Marines, it may not be too high, but just at a distance of about ten meters, a jump is not a big problem. Even, the falcon can keep flying forward, just don't go too fast.
This greatly increases the speed of deploying troops, as well as the safety of the Falcon itself.
Even the Space Marines, who weigh several tons of armor, can smash out a pit when they fall to the ground.
Then, unscathed, they came out of the pit.
At this moment, there are already some enemies around the perimeter.
But what if it's just some miscellaneous soldiers?
The bullet hit, and there was not even a scratch!
Fifteen Space Marines, led by the leader of the Martins Warband, methodically headed towards the artillery position, along the way, they fired smoothly and indifferently, each bullet must have taken the lives of one or more enemies.
Five Sentinel Mechs appeared, attempting to resist. They have some resistance to blaster shots and are not so easy to kill. But in front of the Space Marines, they are still like chickens.
One shot could not be exploded, and the five blasters were pointed at each other, and in an extremely precise way, the five magazines were shot violently, and the sentry mech was naturally destroyed.
Among them, the fiercest is Martins.
With the Terminator armor, he can be equipped with a heavy explosive shotgun with one hand, which is an armor-piercing weapon.
On the contrary, the machine guns of those sentry mechs are not without threat to the Space Marines.
But you have to be able to hit.
There is a qualitative gap between the two sides in terms of shooting accuracy and reaction speed.
As soon as the firing trigger was pressed, the machine shells had not yet come out twice, and they were blown up first.
One shot, and the four sentinels were gone.
The remaining one, due to its proximity, was not selected as a fire target.
In a second or two, many machine cannon shells were fired, but only a few were hit, but they could only hit the shoulder armor of the Space Marines who were advancing sideways, at most leaving them with a small hole in the shoulder armor.
And the fate of this sentry mecha is even more tragic.
Anato, the new blood of the warband, was the one at the front, and he only accelerated a few steps before he came directly in front of the Sentinel Mech.
The size of the Sentinel Mecha is still much larger than that of the Space Marine. Even if the Space Marines wear armor, they are generally only about two meters four tall; Wearing the Terminator's Martins, it is only two meters seven.
The Sentinel Mecha is more than three meters long.
But it's not that the bigger it is, the stronger the combat power.
The Sentinel Mecha moved first, and its 'knight's sword' swept towards Anato, but was dodged by a simple bend down.
Immediately after, Anato's feet exerted force, and the explosive speed made the pilot of the sentry mecha unable to react, and he was stuck to a very close place.
The battle-hardened blade accurately pierced into the sentry's armor, and its power system was immediately cut off.
Anato's strength again, flipped the mecha to the ground, stepped on his chest, used a knife in one hand, and dragged his head with the other, and pulled the head of the sentry mecha off with a force.
The Sentinel Mech is not a Knight Titan, it does not have a proprietary cockpit, and the pilot is encased inside the mech.
The head of the mecha is dragged down, that is, the head of the person is also down.
After completing this set of actions, the time it took Anatoto was nothing more than three or five seconds.
Putting the blade away and reloading the gun, he walked briskly forward.
In the space of three or five seconds, his comrades had already passed him and continued to walk further. In the process, no one even looked at him.
It's just a sentry mech, it's not worth paying attention to at all.
Anato, too, didn't feel like he had done anything great, he had to catch up.
But this scene, in the eyes of those Luhmann soldiers next to him, was too terrifying.
That's five knights!
In their hearts, the knight lord is an invincible existence!
If in the previous battle, the knight lord was killed by heavy artillery bombardment, and was killed by the bazookas and mortars of those so-called alliance soldiers, then it would have been forgotten. After all, guns and cannons on the battlefield have no eyes, and even knights, wearing armor, are covered by such a targeted blow, covered by terrible firepower, and it seems that it is very common for them to die in battle. Not to mention, those coalition armies also have large tanks and armored vehicles that are terrible at first sight......
The knight lord can't stand it, and it's normal to die in battle. And even so, it is still not easy to deal with a three-meter-high Sentinel Mecha, it often takes a while to fight, and the Alliance Army also has to pay some price for it.
But at the moment, that's not a concept at all. The five knights, who stopped in front of those red-armored warriors, were almost a face, and they were all gone in an instant!
was treated like a chicken, and he was killed casually!
For these levies of the Luman Kingdom, this is simply a picture of the collapse of the fighting faith.
And those who know a little more and have heard some stories finally remembered some legends at this time.
"It's a Space Marine! It's an angel! ”
The words shouted out in involuntary horror were heard by others, and it was even more corrupt to fight.
This blocking army collapsed like this.
The undead did not pursue either.
Some miscellaneous soldiers, they just approached indifferently, and then destroyed the artillery positions.
Until the end of the battle, but no new army came to interfere with them.
This battle was fought tastelessly.
The veterans felt that they had just come and gone. What is the difference between shooting at a moving target at a training ground? That is, the sentry mecha is a little bit interesting, a little more durable, but too little.
As for the recruits, most of them didn't find it interesting. It was the first time for them to leave the Raging Owl to fight, and they were still a little nervous, but after a fight, they felt ......
That's it?
It's better to fight the cultists in the northern border of the Raging Owl.
Anyway, those cultists are not afraid of death one by one, and there are some psionic spells, which are more or less a threat, not to mention the follow-up into the real world, face the evil gods, and even win the battle in the end!
The recruits didn't have much to do with it.
Even the last three 'mature' recruits have taken turns to go to the border of the North Qinggu Province at least during the training period, the growth period, and the time when they have not yet been awarded armor, and together with the Qinggu Group Army, they have continuously cleared and eliminated many aberrant monsters to the south, and they can be regarded as having some actual combat experience.
They also felt that the level of these Luman soldiers was really poor.
Having eliminated the artillery positions, they turned to a new target.
What they are targeting is the Ranger-level Knight Titan who had destroyed the shield generator in the previous battle, and now only dared to be a rocket launcher from afar.
The two Knight Titans are the things that pose the greatest threat to the outskirts of the town, even if this one doesn't dare to attack directly, it's quite annoying to bombard it with extended-range rockets from afar.
Just knock it out.
……
Gu Ming and Nes Luman had already guessed what it was when they heard the news of the fifteen red-armored giants.
But despite this, the two of them still have a certain luck mentality.
How can it really be a Space Marine? Why did the Emperor's Angel appear in such a remote place as Black Arrow? They are either fighting large rebellions that can destabilize multiple sectors, or they are on the front lines of the battlefield against powerful foreign races.
A little Black Arrow Star, a little Gu family's internal strife, how can He De provoke a group of interstellar soldiers?
There's not really any imperial traitor here!
Besides, even if there is an imperial traitor, it won't be able to provoke the Space Marines if it doesn't betray to a certain extent!
Because of this, it is normal for them to be unbelieving at first, and to be lucky.
According to Gu Ming's words to comfort himself, it was possible that his nephew made it up blindly, using some ordinary iron armor to make it out and pretend.
But he didn't believe it himself.
Then, reality also completely shattered his luck: within a few minutes of landing, they destroyed a sentry mecha squad, and defeated a large group of Luman troops, and incidentally raised the artillery positions of the Luman army.
Now, the fifteen people from the family are coming towards them, and the target is the Knight Titan not far from them.
The troops have tried their best to intercept it, but they just can't stop it!
The two of them were completely panicked.
