Chapter 1482: Crimson Galaxy Suppression Operation (9)

Including this time, the Swan has broken through the atmosphere three times. Although it may not be very experienced, at least it is not in a panic.

But this time is very different from the previous two times.

Before breaking through the atmosphere, they landed on Standumer, which is the planet of the Whirlpool Federation. Even though it was occupied by the Red Maple Republic for a period of time, they did not completely control the planet.

After all, it was only occupied for about three months, which was not enough time for the Red Maple Republic to transport the cannons from the factory.

This time, it is a completely habitable planet belonging to the Red Maple Republic. They have lived here for hundreds of years and have already completed the construction of the planet's defense system.

Although the Whirlwater Federation has launched a global offensive against the planet in multiple locations, the Red Maple Republic's military forces on the planet can still cope with it.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the number of aircraft within the atmosphere rushing in is outrageous.

The Swan immediately began to exert its regional air defense capabilities. Any aircraft that dared to approach and launch heavy air-to-air rockets would first have to face the anti-aircraft fire network that was like a heavy rain.

However, the Swan has no problem protecting itself and the surrounding assault landing ships, but it is unlikely that the Swan can protect the entire assault landing ship fleet on its own.

Dui and Cao Wei kept giving new instructions on the panel with one hand as if they had a cramp. The planes of the Red Maple Republic were simply free. Even if you looked at them with the naked eye from the gun position, you could see a densely packed mass of them. It felt like stepping into a nest of flies, with a dark cloud of flies all over your face.

Since they cannot get close, many aircraft within the atmosphere will launch air-to-air rockets from a long distance. Not to mention the long distance, and the Swan is still falling rapidly, so it is impossible to hit it. Even if it is allowed to hit, the air-to-air rocket with a caliber of about 300 mm cannot pose any threat to the battleship's shield.

This is not the case with assault landing ships. Their shields are mainly concentrated at the bottom, and if they are hit by air-to-air rocket fire, the shields are likely to be penetrated.

Once the shield is penetrated, the only thing left is to rely on the armor plate to block the armor-piercing warhead. On Alyssa's side, there is no explosive reactive armor, it just relies purely on metal and structure to resist.

While Dui and Cao Wei were operating the anti-aircraft guns, they saw the assault landing ship disintegrate in the air, and the losses rose sharply in a short period of time.

Cao Wei was completely immersed in the role. She roared and growled while operating the anti-aircraft gun, and her eyes turned red when she saw friendly forces being destroyed.

That can't be considered language at all, it's just pure venting.

The mental trauma brought by the war is affecting her little by little, and Cao Wei's future situation is worrying.

But Dui was not much better. It should be said that everyone on the battlefield began to become more or less neurotic.

Life is disappearing in the most humble way, regardless of friend or foe.

The heavy rain of shells continued until the anti-aircraft gun barrels overheated severely and had to be retracted to their positions for emergency cooling.

A gunner will control several anti-aircraft guns. The cooling of one or two guns will not affect the gunner's output. However, the reduced firepower density allows the person operating the anti-aircraft gun to regain some rationality, so that he will not stare at the target so stubbornly and completely ignore the surrounding situation.

Dui saw that the ion beams and tracer bullets from the machine guns were fired from diagonally above, but they were not aimed at the Swan, but at the intra-atmospheric aircraft that were attacking the assault landing ship.

He calmed himself down and realized that it was a friendly shuttle that had landed from orbit.

Only then did he and Cao Wei notice that their throats seemed very dry. They were not aware of their actions just now. The enemy's intra-atmospheric aircraft were still entangled, and the number of shuttles coming to support the friendly forces was insufficient, so it was better to have some than not.

The most important thing now is to ensure the safe landing of as many assault landing ships as possible. Only by establishing a forward base can a large amount of supplies and additional troops be dropped from orbit.

Since they had arrived at a habitable planet, under the influence of gravity, the two could clearly feel that the Cygnus was adjusting its attitude.

This made them realize that the Swan had reached an altitude of 3000 meters, which was suitable for the operation of the buoyancy engine.

As the ship tilted, Dui and Cao Wei, who had originally been unable to see what was directly below from their gun positions, also caught a glimpse of it.

There is no mission like capturing the control center in this landing operation. The targets of all the landing troops are different, which can be roughly summarized as "military bases", "energy facilities", "transportation hubs" and possible gathering places of the enemy.

Dui saw a city surrounded by mountains on three sides far away on the port side of the Swan. From a high place, he could clearly see the dense railway network extending from the city in all directions.

This should be a very important transportation hub, and convenient transportation often brings about economic development. At a glance, there are quite a few skyscrapers in this city.

But at this time, black smoke was rising above the city, and even from a long distance, one could see that there seemed to be fires in some places.

Of course, the battle plan would not explicitly state that cities should be attacked, but once the war began, cities were not safe.

It may have been hit by several shells from an assault landing ship, or it may have fallen during its descent and crashed into the city. Both are possible.

"They deserve it! They deserve it!"

The scene of the burning city seemed to trigger Cao Wei's PTSD again. When Standumo was captured, Cao Wei was in the city with a few teammates to deal with civilians and invaders. The scene of the burning city was too exciting for her.

Dui shook his head and ignored the already paranoid Cao Wei, continuing to look down.

The Swan was not going to land in the city, but rather near the military base next to the city. Taking over the base and the station was their current mission.

The Red Maple Republic did not seem to have expected that the Xuanshui Federation would launch an airborne operation so soon.

The scale of the crystal gap they opened was not large, perhaps because they were afraid that if it was too large, they would find it difficult to protect themselves and it would be easy for them to get into trouble.

A crystal gap of this size cannot destroy the patrol fleet, but it can hold back a large number of ships, including the Swan, and delay the time for the Whirlpool Federation to conduct a landing operation.

The Crystal Gap is an extremely rare natural disaster. Although every country has devices to shut it down, no one would normally carry this thing on their back.

It's like you walk into a restaurant and immediately open your mouth to eat the dishes that they have to order. Isn't that inappropriate?

Therefore, the defense forces of this planet thought that the Crystal Gap could delay the landing troops of the Whirlpool Federation for a long time. However, they did not expect that the information about their backup plan had been leaked. The cruise ship formation of the Third Fleet actually brought a device that could close the Crystal Gap.

So now when Dui looked down, he could see some half-dug trenches that had not been completed. The construction machinery was still there and the drivers had already run away, but these things had not been evacuated in time.
