Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1481: Crimson Galaxy Suppression Operation (8)

Dui is a professional soldier. Three generations of his family have served in the army. It can be said that he comes from a military family.

The fact that he was promoted to lieutenant at such a young age was partly due to his family background. After all, when the superiors see that your family is full of loyal and brave people, they will naturally be more willing to promote you.

As a professional soldier, Dui did not really want to point his gun at civilians. A soldier should act like a soldier, fighting on the battlefield to serve his country instead of carrying out massacres.

But this was not something that a mere lieutenant like him could control.

In contrast, Cao Wei was originally a civilian lieutenant in the Stantum Planetary Defense Force. Although she also participated in military training, most of the time she just sat in the office dealing with documents.

However, with the fall of the Stargate, Standumer was occupied by the Red Maple Republic. This civilian lieutenant had seen too many deaths.

There are friendly troops, and there are civilians who pose no threat.

After being surrounded by gunpowder and blood, this civilian lieutenant has now completely abandoned the pen in his hand.

So Lieutenant Cao Wei had no objection to the attack on the spaceport. She just felt that the invaders deserved it!

There were many people who had similar ideas, both new recruits and veterans. Even Vice Admiral Ken, the commander-in-chief of the Third and Fifth Fleets, would have just watched in silence if he were present, and would not have given any orders to stop it.

Yes, this is not in compliance with the rules of engagement, but there are many things on the battlefield that are not in compliance with the rules of engagement, and officers generally just turn a blind eye and do not take it seriously.

Dui felt a little depressed. He thought that he might be too naive. After all, he had been a soldier for a long time and was literally a freeloader. He had never suffered any hardship.

When Standumo was captured, he and his comrades hid in a secret base and had no idea of ​​the tragic situation outside.

He felt that he might not be able to empathize with his comrades who were eager for revenge, and even felt that he was naive and ugly. His idea was to stand on the moral high ground and act like a saintly bitch.

So he was depressed.

Cao Wei was obviously very excited and didn't notice Du Yi's mood changes, and Du Yi's frustration didn't last long.

After all, the Swan had begun its descent.

A large number of assault landing ships flew directly from the rear along the opened channel, dispersed according to the landing points, and quickly broke into the atmosphere.

The Swan followed the assault landing ship and quickly determined its location and executed the landing procedure.

The spaceport burning in the atmosphere was still on the other side of the field of vision, and the Swan also encountered the outermost exosphere of the atmosphere.

The gun position was automatically retracted under the armor plate, and Dui could not see the tragic scene outside for the time being. Instead, there was a loud rumbling sound and a series of fine and violent vibrations.

He held on to his seat belt tightly. Although the Swan had carried out many descent missions, the crew was always nervous every time.

After all, anything can happen during the descent. It may be hit by ground anti-aircraft fire, subjected to high temperatures due to air friction, or suffer mechanical failures due to vibrations, etc.

This tension left Dui no time to think about anything else.

"Yo hoo!"

Cao Wei at the nearby gun position let out an excited cry. She was happy every time the gun was lowered.

Compared to Alyssa who prefers being in the void, Cao Wei actually prefers being in a gravity environment.

But she still boarded the Swan with Dui, because preferences could be temporarily ignored. Cao Wei wanted to strangle the invaders with her own hands to avenge the civilians of Standum and her comrades. It wouldn't take too long to break through the atmosphere, but the vibrations and loud noises would make people feel like they were passing a day.

When the vibration gradually subsided, Dui felt that his brain was a little bit shaken apart.

I shook my head, trying to make myself more awake. At this time, another vibration came, but this time it was not the friction of the air during the descent.

"The ground-based anti-aircraft guns hit us not far away, right?"

Since the gun positions were still inside the armored plates, Cao Wei couldn't see the situation outside and could only guess.

After all, I have descended several times, so I have some experience.

As soon as she finished speaking, there were waves of loud explosions mixed with subtle vibrations. It was obvious that the Swan was being targeted by ground-based defense artillery.

That's for sure. Other assault landing ships are more than 100 meters long, but the Swan is more than 300 meters long. When viewed from the ground, the size of the target is two different things. It is conspicuous and will naturally be hit by more artillery fire.

However, Dui was not worried about the Swan. With the firepower of ground anti-aircraft artillery, it would be almost impossible to break through the Swan's shield unless large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery attacked continuously.

At this moment, the two heard an extremely piercing "whoosh" sound, which seemed to tear the sky apart.

That was an orbital bombardment. The Swirl Federation was accustomed to using orbital bomber ships to attack ground forces when assault landing ships began to descend.

Because ground forces will camouflage anti-aircraft guns, anti-ship ion beams and other weapons, it is difficult for orbital bombers to detect where these heavy weapons are hidden from above before they open fire.

Using teammates as bait, the Red Maple Republic's heavy weapons will fire one or two shots, but before the assault landing ship reaches the ground, they will definitely be blown away by orbital bombardment.

After a while, the armor plate was opened again and the gun position was pushed out. Dui and Cao Wei finally saw the situation outside the Swan.

Huge clouds of black smoke exploded around me, shrapnel flew everywhere, and occasionally I would see friendly assault landing ships not far away being destroyed and turning into fireballs in free fall.

Farther away, and more conspicuous, was a huge orange-red flash that almost dyed the sky red to the end of the field of vision.

"Unfortunately, the spaceport crashed too far away from us, and we couldn't see where it hit."

The Swan's current altitude should be over 10,000 meters, which is not yet the optimal altitude for the buoyancy engine to work. Moreover, although the spaceport is nearby during descent, the spaceport is in free fall, and a slight deviation will result in a huge difference when it lands on the ground.

So Cao Wei felt very sorry that she didn't get to see the death of the people from the Red Maple Republic with her own eyes.

But now is not the time to talk about this. The gun position was pushed out not for the two of them to enjoy the scenery.

They immediately received an order from the bridge that the Red Maple Republic's intra-atmospheric aircraft was approaching.

Even the most agile space fighters cannot get close to the warships. Due to the influence of air resistance, aircraft within the atmosphere are far less maneuverable than space fighters, and it is even more impossible for them to get close to the warships.

The main goal of these intra-atmospheric aircraft is to attack assault landing ships. The firepower of this type of ship is mainly deployed below. Although there are anti-aircraft guns, their number cannot be compared with that of an outright battleship like the Swan.

The anti-aircraft weapons they carry are heavy air-launched rockets, which similarly cannot penetrate the shields of battleships, but continuous hits will also weaken the shields of assault landing ships.

The radar showed that dense red dots were approaching, and Dui also saw a patch of black dots in the sky through the transparent gun position. It looked like a dense swarm of flies.

The two of them gripped the joysticks at the same time and quickly reached out to mark the air defense zone for the anti-aircraft guns they controlled on the screen. War does not give people time to think, so if you have the free time, you might as well fire a few more shots.
