Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1300: Fighting on the battlefield to retake the center (7)
In a place where big ships and big guns are rampant, the firepower of the Swan is simply not enough.

After many modifications, the Swan even had its engine replaced, but the main gun still could not be replaced.

After all, the reactor power is just like that. If we replace the reactor, we will have to replace all the energy pipes in the Swan...

Just rebuild it, it's much easier than modifying it.

But in a gravity environment, the Swan's 300-meter-long body is like a battleship floating in the sky, and is not afraid of confrontation at all.

The Red Maple Republic made a lot of preparations, with anti-aircraft guns and howitzer positions one after another, but the problem was that their air defense preparations were based on assault landing ships.

There were not many large-caliber anti-aircraft guns prepared to fight against warships of larger tonnage. At most, the battleship's turret was removed and fixed to the ground with reinforced concrete to be used as a gun platform.

It's not that they didn't know about the existence of the Swan, but the time left for the Red Maple Republic to prepare after the Whirlwater Federation launched its attack was too short.

The entire Meteor Plan took just over a month from preparation to execution, which was not enough time for the Red Maple Republic to transport heavy anti-aircraft guns from the country.

Most of the heavy equipment currently used by the Red Maple Republic Army on the planet Stantum were confiscated when they invaded. These equipment originally belonged to the Planetary Defense Force, which is a second-line force compared to the military. The equipment quality is not as good as the military. The large-caliber anti-aircraft guns have to be divided into six different central defense centers, so naturally there are even fewer of them.

The Swan stopped on the side of the hill, tilted the hull slightly to ensure that the main guns and secondary guns could cover the battlefield, and then fired under the shield.

As soon as the Red Maple Republic's heavy artillery opened fire, its position would be immediately detected by the shipboard computer through reverse trajectory, and it would be immediately covered by the firepower of the Light Spear main gun.

Because the Swan was too large, it was too conspicuous on the battlefield, especially when firing, it would leave a clearly visible deep groove on the ground.

This caused a lot of anti-aircraft firepower to be aimed at the Swan, and the assault landing ship took the opportunity to cross the hills, cooperating with the roaring soldiers below to target it and output firepower.

Attacking high and attacking low is stupid, that's true. Now it feels like the Red Maple Republic Army is being beaten up by aerial gunboats, and has to watch out for the invasion of the Whirlpool Federation Infantry from the front of the position.

And from the forest below the Swan, the armored forces of the Whirlpool Federation also completed the task of mopping up the remnants and rushed out of the woods amid the roar of their engines.

So Li Chengxi complained that they were using World War I tactics. Not only did they engage in trench warfare, but they actually used tanks as tools to break through the trenches.

The armored forces of the Xuanshui Federation charged head-on at the positions of the Red Maple Republic. Machine gun positions, barbed wire, all to the side.

A large number of infantry were now coming down from the hills under the cover of assault landing ships, and were advancing along with the tanks. The Red Maple Republic Army, which had lost its heavy firepower support, was obviously unable to hold on.

However, they were still able to entangle and delay the troops of the Xuanshui Federation for a long time.

They do not have effective anti-aircraft weapons, but the machine guns, bunkers, infantry guns and other weapons hidden in the trenches can also cause great trouble to the infantry of the Xuanshui Federation.

Now, after a bombardment from the rear, the infantry and armored units of the Xuanshui Federation will rush forward. Some of them are like pawns in chess, and can only move forward step by step.

Alyssa had no doubt that this ground battle could be won, the question was, when.

Speaking of time, the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer can fire once every four to five hours, and its coverage area is the entire star system.

Five hours had passed since the Swan began its landing operation. Logically, the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer should have fired at least the second round.

This is a very, very dangerous time, and it may mean that some ships in the main fleet of the Xuanshui Federation have temporarily lost power.

Due to the influence of the atmosphere and the lack of relay satellites, Alyssa on the ground had no idea what the current battle situation in the void was like. She could only judge from the occasional assault landing ships and logistics transport ships coming down from above that at least the Xuanshui Federation had not lost.

The ground forces need to take this place as soon as possible. If they continue to delay, it will be difficult to say what will happen.

Hit high and beat low, they're just idiots. This also applies to the Swan. If the fleet of the Whirlwater Federation can't hold on, the Swan in the atmosphere will also be beaten like an idiot by the fleet of the Red Maple Republic.

Time waits for no one, and the ground forces are advancing slower than expected. Commanding troops is a bit beyond the scope of a recycler who has never been to school, and Alyssa doesn't understand the art of command that can make the ground forces advance quickly.

So she could only think of a solution from the perspective of a recycler.

So, what is the solution?

"Call back Li Chengxi and Hall"

Alyssa said to Villania, then turned to Carlos:
"Main engine power increased, we speed up."

This time, the Swan will lead the charge.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

On the other hand, Li Chengxi did not have the same worries as Alyssa.

The Manta's performance has no absolute advantage over other shuttles. If you have to say something, it's just that it has variable wings, so its climbing and diving performance is more flexible, but it's not to the extent of crushing other shuttles.

Li Chengxi changed his previous practice of driving the Lionfish in and out of the fleet, and instead peered under the fleets of both sides.

If someone is chasing you, use tactics to kill them back. If no one is chasing you, just continue fishing.

This approach is safer, but it also causes the altitude to gradually decrease as the flight progresses.

Especially when he saw the three-plane formation rushing down, it was difficult for the Manta to deal with it using any tactics. He could only run away first and then go back when the others stopped chasing him.

After repeating this several times, the altitude dropped from more than 6,000 meters to more than 4,000 meters. But let alone others, Li Chengxi himself was a little fed up.

So he chose to eat French fries.

Fishing for fries originally referred to seagulls snatching food from people on the dock, but later in the air combat game circle, it was used as a synonym for ground attack.

It is commonly known as licking the ground.

Whether the shuttle is big or not depends on what it is compared with. The Manta is nearly twenty meters long, and the heavy hovering fighters on Earth are about the same length.

Seen from the ground, the trenches look like ditches. Sometimes tanks may get stuck in them when rushing through. For the infantry, passing through this position is like crossing mountains and ridges. Not only does it consume a huge amount of physical strength, but they also have to be careful of the enemy who may rush out from any corner at any time.

But from the sky, it is clear at a glance.

The Manta followed the direction of the trench, aiming its ion beam and high-speed machine guns at the trench, and swept along the seam like tracing an edge.

All anti-aircraft weapons are extremely effective against humans, especially high-rate machine guns. A trench can be basically cleared with just one sweep.

The anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the ground posed almost no threat to the Manta, mainly because Li Chengxi would choose to attack in the blind spot of the anti-aircraft weapons before the dive attack, and the elevation angle could not reach the Manta at all.

It's outrageous to say that Alyssa doesn't even have any dedicated bombs. The so-called air fire support only comes from direct fire from the assault landing ship.

So Li Chengxi threw the machine-mines and torpedoes on the Manta as bombs. They would explode anyway, so it should be the same...

Just when he was enjoying licking the ground the most, he received a communication from the Swan, asking him to return immediately.
