When a light curtain appeared on the periphery of the offshore building, blocking all ground attacks from the fighter planes, Martins was startled.
However, he then realized that this was not a void shield.
Although it is somewhat similar, it is far from the level of a void shield. It should be just a simple energy shield.
The gap between the two is a bit big.
In essence, the void shield does not directly resist attacks, but creates a space error to form a thin film that covers the protected target. When an attack arrives, most types of artillery shells, missiles, and energy rays will be moved to another space by the dislocated space when they come into contact with this film. The protected target will remain unscathed.
The defensive effectiveness of the void shield is much stronger than that of conventional energy shields. A successful defense leaves the protected target unaffected.
But there are also disadvantages.
The void shield generator is very large and cannot be miniaturized; the void shield consumes a lot of energy; it is very expensive; it cannot identify and transfer slow targets; it suffers from excessive firepower in a short period of time. When overloaded, some attacks may be missed
However, these shortcomings are nothing compared with traditional energy shields. After all, many shortcomings are common. For example, if you want to achieve the same protective effect, the energy consumption of a traditional energy shield will only be higher; the energy shield cannot stop slow targets; if it is overloaded, it will not miss attacks, but will be directly crushed, then It can't stop any attack, and the energy shield generator may even explode internally
In real comparison, the only two advantages of the energy shield are that it can be miniaturized and cheap.
Martins has experienced hundreds of battles and has seen a lot. After he judged that the following one was not a void shield, he was able to further judge more information.
This shield generator seems to be quite average, with low technical level. However, there seems to be a huge energy reserve behind it. Unless the upper limit of the firepower it can withstand is destroyed in one go, it will be very difficult to overload it with multiple frequent firepower strikes.
Is there any chance?
Martins ordered the entire fighter formation to carry out another full-fire strike. During the process, he carefully watched the reaction of the entire energy shield. The final judgment is
No.
There is a two-level difference in the intensity of firepower required between overloading the shield generator with firepower and directly dry-exploding the shield generator.
Even if the frigate in the orbit of the planet is included, it can reach the former level, but it cannot meet the latter requirements.
Switching to the Quintet, that would definitely be no problem. If nothing else, just hit it with a Wrath of the Faithful, a super-sized macro cannon, one shot can destroy this shield generator, don’t worry. It doesn't matter how much energy support is behind it.
But right now, there aren’t any.
The 20 on the frigate can be shotEven if the S-class weapons that reach the ground are shot down at the same time, they cannot directly destroy the current shield generator. And with some kind of near-infinite energy support behind this shield generator, it can quickly recover before the next round of strikes.
In other words, it is no longer realistic to destroy this offshore platform through remote fire.
At least until the shield generator is knocked out, it's unrealistic.
"That is to do a small-scale surprise attack, attack and destroy the shield generator, then evacuate, and then call in distant fire to destroy the offshore platform"
"I am familiar with this"< /p>
Martins smiled, but then fell silent again.
I am familiar with it. Space Marines have done too many jobs like this. In his two hundred years of combat experience, he has performed similar tasks countless times, and he knows the process and key points clearly.
Now that he was doing similar work again, he felt familiar and laughed at himself.
But no matter how much you do this kind of work and how rich your experience is, it cannot conceal the huge danger of such tasks.
The biggest danger comes from unknown intelligence.
We have no idea what is in the building below, how strong the enemy is, or where the target they want to destroy is.
In this case, you should not go in.
Even a team of all Space Marines may overturn. After all, no one knows what monsters and monsters they will encounter below.
Thinking more rationally, they can choose to retreat this time and wait until they have more information.
Martins has received abundant authorization, and he can decide this matter with one word.
But he still did not choose to do this.
Mainly due to three considerations.
First of all, he did not want to commit a failed operation when he joined the alliance and officially assumed the command of the operation for the first time.
Of course, he thought less about this factor and just had some thoughts about it. He is still a warrior at heart and does not have so many political considerations.
Secondly, he was very doubtful. Even if he retreated this time, what would he do to this offshore platform if he wanted to obtain more intelligence later? Whether he wanted to sneak in or send someone in to act as an internal response, what would he do? Intelligence work is very difficult. Unfortunately, they don’t have much time left, and they don’t have time to spend several months on gathering intelligence. Who knows when the plans of these cultists will be completed?
In addition to these off-site factors, there is another The core reason that prompted him to invest more troops and decline was that the enemy seemed not strong enough.
In other words, these soldiers of the Governor's Special Operations Brigade are too strong.
With all air and sky fire support being blocked by energy shields, they were fighting alone, but they still stood still below.
They did lose a dozen warriors when they were suddenly attacked at first, but then their counterattack was also very sharp. Not only did they use laser guns, they killed many lizard monsters that emerged from the surrounding area. , and also took this opportunity to quickly get out of the cabin, using the wind falcon's huge size as a cover, and built a defense line on the spot in the shape of a "pin".
While the situation is somewhat stable, the enemy is a little anxious. Some biochemical shells were fired, and the corrosive effect made it impossible for the Wind Falcon to take off. There were traces of damage on the surface.
But at this time, the special operations soldiers also responded quickly.
They took out multiple rocket launchers and fired them in the direction of the biochemical shells.
The multiple rockets trailing flames produced a good effect. At least for the time being, no new biochemical artillery shells came in.
Then, they even temporarily organized a five-person combat team. Under the cover of their comrades, they launched an attack into the interior of a building, preparing to clear out the enemies there and also establish a The second defensive point expands the living space.
Since the following special operations team members have achieved a pretty good situation, then as a commander, what reason does Martins have to give up on them
In his channel , and the voices of the soldiers of the 10th Brigade were also heard. Among them, the mortal fighting hero named La Crocha was still working hard and hoped to be the second batch to go to the ground to support the battle, rescue and cover the withdrawal of his teammates.
A smile appeared on Martins' lips
"I allow you to go down, but your goal is not only to cover your teammates. I hope you can clear the six indoor areas around the landing point Buildings to create opportunities for our follow-up troops to land.”
Hearing this request, La Crocha was stunned for a moment, and then responded decisively, “Guaranteed to complete the mission”
Following , a three-machine formation began to rapidly descend in altitude.
The leader is Lieutenant Couch, the current ace pilot of the Alliance Air Force.
He and his wingmen, carrying more than forty special operations elites including La Crocha, approached the energy shield after descending to a certain height.
This is the most dangerous stage.
If the speed is too fast, it will not work. The energy shield is only about eighty meters above the ground. If it goes too fast, it will 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 firepower showed its power at this time.
The enemy seems to have set up anti-aircraft guns, and some biological and chemical artillery shells are shooting into the sky.
If the speed is not fast enough, the enemy's hit rate will naturally be greatly improved.
Fortunately, the Wind Falcon is not a squishy aircraft, but a speed attack craft. It has strong armor on the outside, and its protection is slightly better than that of an armored vehicle.point.
They withstood the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and successfully passed through the energy shield.
After entering the energy shield, they were not polite to those enemies.
Outside the energy shield, they can't hit; once inside, they can safely release firepower.
While descending, the three Wind Falcons released six mounted airborne missiles, setting off a sea of fire. Immediately afterwards, the cannon began to exert its power, firing in all directions. While hitting the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and muting it, it could also provide some fire cover and help to the special operations elites who were 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.
However, there seems to be something wrong with one of them and it can no longer fly.
But the other two that successfully took off also destroyed all their mounted missiles before breaking away from the 80-meter-high Noilai shield.
At this moment, the three newly landed Falcons were already unloading people.
In fact, they have not landed yet, and 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 rappelling, just jump.
For ordinary people, more than ten meters is enough to kill someone. But for the elite special forces led by La Crocha, it was an acceptable level. The physical fitness of soldiers above T3 level has reached or even slightly exceeded the limits of human beings, not to mention having an exoskeleton that can provide a buffering effect when landing.
Lieutenant Kuchi is also a very brave man. After he put down the soldiers in the cabin, he did not leave directly like other fighters, but chose to carry out the mission at a low altitude of 80 meters. Maneuver and assist ground troops with machine guns, providing valuable heavy fire support.
He controlled the wind falcon in a limited space, dodging and moving. Although he couldn't increase his speed and was afraid of hitting something in one breath, he was able to maximize the flexibility of the Wind Falcon. The flight trajectory was unpredictable. It was through this method that he avoided many attacks, and at the same time, he was able to fire a cannon downward without warning and achieve some results.
With valuable air support, the team led by La Crocha successfully landed and joined the elite special forces on the ground. They began to attack the targets around the landing site according to the target given by Martins previously. Go to the six buildings and carry out clearing work one by one.
This offshore platform is an irregular rectangular platform approximately two thousand meters long and one thousand meters wide. The core position in the middle is a conical tower head about thirty meters high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom; the periphery is surrounded by high-density buildings, mostly various round warehouses or towers. Many pipes surround and connect these buildings.
A considerable part of the entire platform is below sea level. faintly visible in the centerThe largest cone-shaped tower still has a considerable part below sea level. Huge pillars and pipes hold up the bottom of the platform, supporting the entire platform from the bottom of the sea.
The landing site chosen by the alliance special forces is close to the southern edge. Only here seems to be a relatively large and flat place suitable for the landing of the wind falcon.
When La Crocha led people to clear out the six buildings around the landing site, the pressure on the landing site suddenly became much smaller.
Soon, the third wave, the same three Falcons carrying more than 40 special warfare elites, came down again.
This time, they also opened up the south direction, which was considered to have completely eliminated the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, La Crocha personally led the team and began to advance toward the center of the maritime building complex that was almost the size of a small town. He also established defense points along the way, leaving two or three people at key parts. Guarded by soldiers.
They quickly broke into the central tower and eliminated the enemies inside.
And here, they made two major discoveries.
First, they found the route from the central tower to the lower level. The iron door there was closed and it was difficult to enter, but under the melta bomb, it was definitely no different from paper.
Second, they opened several storage cans on the offshore platform, and then saw a scene that they will never forget.
They originally thought that there might be a variety of things in those can-like storage warehouses.
But they never imagined that there were people inside.
Densely packed, crowded together, dead but yet alive.
The soldiers who opened the door of the can barn from above saw countless eyes looking upward, and saw those with countless abscesses on their faces and bodies, crowded together, almost soaked in pus. people.
They are still alive, they are still squirming, and some disgusting force is keeping them alive. They are living and consciously bearing this boundless pain.
The itching, severe pain, maggots crawling up and down, and the despair of not wanting to die almost turned into reality. As soon as the storage warehouse door was opened, some kind of psychic power was formed along with the strong stench.
The special warrior who opened the door, even though he was wearing a full-coverage tactical helmet with anti-virus effect, still felt that he smelled a terrible smell. This feeling of despair and pain invaded along with the smell, making him dizzy. If it weren't for the help of his comrades, he would have fallen down.
