Chapter 1299: Fighting on the battlefield to retake the center (6)

"The Manta has destroyed three shuttles and is maintaining a climbing attitude."

After hearing Villania’s report, Alyssa couldn’t help but hold her forehead.

Although she knew that she couldn't control Li Chengxi's unauthorized actions, Alyssa still felt a headache every time.

The Manta Ray would be needed later, and Alyssa wanted to ask Villania to inform Li Chengxi not to have too much fun.

As the incident happened suddenly, the Manta was not equipped with a backpack and was only armed with a 20mm machine gun and ion beam. Li Chengxi rushed forward in a hurry to join in the fun, but he always felt unsafe.

But on second thought, with Li Chengxi's skills, it should not be a problem for the Manta to return unscathed, so Alyssa didn't say anything more.

Forget it, let him be.

From time to time, shuttles would fall from the sky, hitting the ground or even the top of the Swan. Although they were not a big threat, for the ground forces, at least for now, the only ones that could provide air support were the assault landing ships and the Swan.

Having said that, it felt like the infantry of the Xuanshui Federation took over the front-line position in an instant, as if they had landed very close.

In fact, when the assault landing ship landed and dropped off soldiers and weapons, it was actually about ten kilometers away from the front-line position of the Red Maple Republic. The infantry of the Xuanshui Federation moved quickly because the front-line position was riddled with holes due to the fire coverage, and the soldiers of the Xuanshui Federation rushed up in transportation vehicles, so naturally they were very fast.

And now we have only captured the front-line positions. It’s really a headache to think about how long the front line is behind.

"Send a message to the assault landing ship forces to have them advance and provide fire coverage to the enemy forces behind the hill."

Alyssa then said to Carlos:

"Trim the attitude, we're going to go around the left side of the hill."

Although the terrain is generally flat, this flatness does not mean that there are no ups and downs. The front-line positions of the Red Maple Republic on the sunny side of the hill have now been captured, while the back side is still firmly in the hands of the Red Maple Republic Army.

It is impossible to provide fire coverage on this reverse slope, so we have to go around it.

The ground forces are not under the command of Alyssa, but the assault landing ships will obey Alyssa's orders because she has the highest rank among those present.

Soon, the assault landing ship troops stopped firing and began to move to the other side of the hill. The Swan also tried to maneuver around from the side.

When flying over a large dense forest, the Swan's shield was exposed due to the attack.

"There are anti-aircraft units hidden in the forest, and the enemy's armored units are also hiding here to attack us."

"Have the anti-aircraft gunners melt them down. Tell them not to worry about the ammunition. The supply ship should be coming down soon."

The anti-aircraft gunners on the Swan were all brought with them when they left this habitable planet, including members of the Marine Brigade under Lieutenant Dui and members of the Planetary Defense Force under Lieutenant Cao Wei.

For them, the planet Stantum has a special meaning. They have the opportunity to come back and participate in the counterattack, and their fighting spirit is quite high.

After Alyssa's order was given, the anti-aircraft guns immediately opened fire, just like plowing the land.

Anti-aircraft guns with calibers ranging from 40mm to 80mm can easily tear trees apart. Since they fire thin-shell high-explosive bombs, their killing effect on soft targets such as personnel is extremely obvious.

It sounds like this type of anti-aircraft gun is not very effective against tanks, but this is actually a misunderstanding.

Tanks are not as protective as people imagine, but they are not as fragile as people imagine.

This sentence sounds contradictory, but it is actually true.

It is almost impossible to smash a tank with a high-explosive bomb used for anti-aircraft. Even if a tank is hit by an anti-tank mine, its main structure may not be damaged much. It can be said to be quite strong. But the person who controls the tank is not a superman with a body of steel.

When a high-explosive bomb is fired at a tank, the tank itself will at most suffer damage to its gun barrel or sighting equipment, but the people inside will be killed by the shock of the high-explosive bomb.

If an assault landing ship took this route, it might really be shot down by ground anti-aircraft guns and tank armor-piercing grenades, but a warship like the Swan is a super giant in a gravity environment. Unless it has a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun or ion beam with a caliber of more than 200, as long as the shield is turned on, it can directly ignore the enemy's air defense counterattack force.

"Friendly armored forces have assembled and are advancing toward our position."

If the tank charges directly up the reverse slope of the hill, it will become a target, and will definitely be hit hard the moment it crosses the commanding heights.

It is true that the assault landing ship can transport tanks, but not in large quantities, so the ground commander chose the same route as the Swan, letting the tanks bypass from the side.

To put it bluntly, they are here to clean up the remnants of the troops that were plowed by the Swan.

At this time, if you just turn your head, you can see through the porthole that the assault landing ship has crossed the hill and is firing at the front line on the other side.

The infantrymen who had just captured the position on this side also climbed up, trying to cross the hill and attack the position on the other side.

However, the Red Maple Republic's position on the other side was also fighting back, with a large number of ion beams and anti-aircraft guns aimed at the assault landing ships. When Alyssa turned her head, she could see that an assault landing ship was hit by its floating engine and was falling crookedly.

The friendly forces were being attacked, and the Swan was circling the side, looking like it was betraying its teammates, but in fact it was not.

The Swan was still too big. Even with four buoyancy engines providing thrust, it still moved slowly in the atmosphere, which was completely different from its usual speed in the void.

But it was almost time. The Swan washed the forest below while circling around it. It turned around the hills and saw the position of the Red Maple Republic as soon as it looked up.

It felt like a maze built by ants, extending all the way to the foot of the mountains at the end of the sight.

Alyssa felt really shocked when she thought that she had to push so far.

But even more shocking things followed.

The Swan had just circled behind the hill when there was a sudden loud bang in the bridge, causing a dull pain in the eardrums.

Outside the azure blue shield on the front, a thick layer of black smoke exploded. This should be the large-caliber anti-aircraft fire that hit the Swan.

"Track the source of the fire!"

"Tracking target, radar not responding, turning on scanner!"

As soon as An Yun finished speaking, there was another loud bang.

The Swan is a giant in a gravity environment, and the anti-aircraft guns all over its body can provide quite exaggerated firepower support.

But precisely because of its huge size, ground-based anti-aircraft firepower doesn't need to aim, they can just put it on and fire.

The ground environment is complex and has a great impact on radar. It is very troublesome to find the enemy's carefully camouflaged large-caliber anti-aircraft guns by visual observation alone.

Fortunately, the Swan’s onboard computer is really awesome.

By reverse calculating the trajectory, the shipboard computer gave an approximate direction after being hit by the third shot.

The Swan rotated its hull and the Light Lance main gun immediately opened fire.

It’s just a sniping duel, come on!
