Chapter 1294: Fighting on the battlefield to retake the center (1)

Countless ion beams shot into the sky, bending slightly under the influence of gravity and air mass, and finally dissipated into the sky.

The delayed fuse was set to allow the anti-aircraft gun shells to explode at the specified height. Each cloud-like black smoke represented the scattering of a large amount of deadly fragments.

The assault landing ship flashed the blue light of its shield, and the artillery deployed on its belly retaliated against the anti-aircraft fire below, but since it was in the descending phase and could not evade freely, all it could do at this time was to charge forward headfirst.

It's all about the heartbeat, and it's all about who has the stronger horoscope.

It was common to see assault landing ships suddenly explode into an orange flash, with all the people on board, alive or dead, thrown out by the explosion and beginning to free fall.

Assault landing ships are arguably the most dangerous jobs among all ships. They will face direct attacks from ground-based anti-aircraft artillery fire, and their shields are often not that strong.

The entire sky seemed to be set on fire by ion beams and artillery shells. It was even difficult to tell whether the orange light in the distance was the rising sun or the color dyed red by the explosion.

As the largest ship among the orbital airborne ships, the Swan naturally received special attention. Even though the shield was fully deployed, a large amount of shrapnel still passed through the shield and hit the surface of the ship.

However, the armor plate of the Swan was the result of the high technological capabilities of the royalists, and at most only a layer of paint was lost.

But for the people on board, the sound of shrapnel hitting the hull sounded as terrifying as a rainstorm, not to mention the scattering caused by ion beams flying from the bridge and hitting the shield from time to time, which made people doubt whether the Swan could withstand it.

"Three thousand meters!"

"Floating engine fully activated!"

When reaching 3,000 meters, the altitude at which the floating engine is most suitable for operation, the safety factor will be greatly increased.

Because at this altitude, both the Swan and the assault landing ship can maneuver in the sky to avoid artillery fire, instead of just being targets and charging headfirst.

The Swan was not the first batch to land. When the Swan reached the maneuvering altitude, the first batch of assault landing ships had already landed.

Well, whether it was a free fall or not, it landed anyway.

This is like a landing craft that has successfully reached the beach. When the assault landing ship lands on the ground, the rear hatch opens and a large number of soldiers run out carrying supplies. Sometimes you can also see heavy weapons such as tanks or four-legged walking artillery driving out of the hatch.

However, although only a small number of anti-aircraft guns could use flat fire to attack the assault landing ships and soldiers when they landed on the ground, the field artillery that the Red Maple Republic Army had already deployed was waiting for this moment.

Since the position belonged to someone else, the Red Maple Republic Army was able to map the gun ranges of possible landing locations in advance. When the assault landing ship landed and released the infantry, the Red Maple Republic Army only had to simply adjust the angle of the field guns according to the gun range table, and the artillery hidden under the bunkers and camouflage nets could directly or overhead bomb the landing area.

The assault landing ships and soldiers who had finally managed to break through the anti-aircraft firepower were immediately covered by firepower. Although the tactical manual clearly stated that they must disperse as much as possible and avoid gathering once landing, there were often situations where a large-caliber howitzer hit the hatch door directly after the assault landing ship landed and the hatch was opened, leaving them no time to disperse.

However, the Red Maple Republic's field artillery opened fire, and the muzzle fire exposed the location of their artillery positions. The assault landing ships that were still in the landing state aimed and fired.

War is actually about hurting each other and seeing who can't bear it first.

As the saying goes, if you attack from high, you will be fooled. The assault landing ship in a falling state undoubtedly had the advantage of height, and concentrated its firepower on the heavy weapons on the defense line of the Red Maple Republic Army, with remarkable results.

The first group of friendly troops who went down and served as baits definitely have something to say, and they have to say it now!
Driven by the floating engine, the speed was further reduced and the descent speed was slowed down. The Swan was not a professional assault landing ship and could not maintain its falling posture while providing fire coverage on the ground like a general assault landing ship.

But the depression angle is not enough, so the posture can make up for it.

"Ship control, tilt down thirty degrees."

Carlos pushed the steering wheel forward, and the Swan's 300-meter-long hull began to slowly tilt downward.

Although the Swan is usually the smallest warship, it is a giant when it comes to landing operations.

An assault landing ship may be more than 100 meters long, or even less than 100 meters. The length of the Swan alone is equivalent to that of three assault landing ships, not to mention that its armament is even more incomparable to that of an assault landing ship.

For the Red Maple Republic Army on the ground, the roar of the Swan's descending altitude was like the sky falling. Its length and volume were similar to those of an aircraft carrier on Earth, and the oppressive feeling of such a large object descending from the sky can be imagined.

"Notice to all ships, all gun ports open to fire. I repeat, all gun ports open to fire!"

When the Swan is in combat, the most commonly used weapons are of course the main gun and two secondary gun turrets, but this does not mean that the Swan only has main guns and secondary guns.

It is a basic operation for a warship to be covered with anti-aircraft gun positions. Even though the Swan is the smallest among the warships, the anti-aircraft guns it carries range from 20mm quadruple mounts, 40mm triple mounts, to 80mm and above twin mounts.

The Swan orbited down, like a battle fortress covered with turrets falling from the sky.

As Alyssa's orders reached every corner of the ship, the gun positions that had just been retracted when the Swan entered the atmosphere were pushed out by hydraulic presses. There was a gunner behind each gun position, and as long as the enemy appeared within the coverage range of their firepower, they would simply pull the trigger and not let go.

As the saying goes, flak guns leveled, military courts.

This is actually a joke. After all, if you lose a battle, you will be brought to a military court. If you win, it would be considered a correct tactical choice.

However, this sentence also highlights a feature, that is, anti-aircraft guns are always extremely useful against infantry.

The Swan, leaning forward and continuously spraying shells and flames, fired at all active enemy soldiers within the target range. The front position was soon covered in steel and flames.

It's actually not that bad to be hit by a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, as you will die on the spot without a sound. But if you are hit by a 40mm anti-aircraft gun and are not killed yet, you will probably howl on the spot for a long time before dying.

The Swan, which was covered with anti-aircraft guns, was like a super strong iron broom, suppressing the enemy troops in the position so that they could not even raise their heads.

The ion beam that was just used to attack the Swan and the anti-aircraft guns were the focus of special attention. Anyone who tried to operate the weapons would be turned into a bloody mist.

A little further away, the Red Maple Republic Army launched a counterattack, and the violent explosion caused a behemoth like the Swan to move back slightly.

In addition to anti-aircraft guns and field artillery, the Red Maple Republic Army also built permanent or semi-permanent fortifications and installed turrets removed from battleships as artillery positions. It was this kind of thing that just hit the Swan.

It was no big deal. The Swan's shield could still withstand it. Besides, it was impolite not to return the favor. The Swan immediately opened its front armor, revealing the Light Lance main gun hidden in the ram...
