1188 The Fall of Shinriku (2)
For an individual like a human being, an area of 1,000 square kilometers is so vast that it is simply inexhaustible to use it as a landing field.
But this is only an illusion of the senses, judging from the warships in the orbit of the planet's outer space, more than 1,000 square kilometers of land is only a small piece of land on the ground that is less than the size of a palm, although the anti-aircraft firepower in this area has almost disappeared, but the surrounding air defense forces can still effectively cover this area.
If the airborne landing is carried out at this time, the anti-aircraft fire, which is still firing incessantly near the airborne site, will cause incalculable losses to the airborne troops.
The black bear also started as a small soldier and climbed to today's position one by one, naturally refusing to sacrifice the lives of soldiers meaninglessly, and had to continue to engage in firepower confrontation and expand the area of the landing ground.
Facts have proved that a little bit of technological advancement or a little tactical rationality can be translated into a huge overwhelming advantage militarily.
Gamma ray cannons, which are not advanced weapons, played a huge role in the battle to open up the airborne field, and it only took a few minutes for 12 gamma ray cannons to open up an airborne field covering an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
However, the hastily built gamma-ray cannon was not of stable quality, and the high-intensity sustained fire had already destroyed half of it.
Black Bear had to abandon the idea of continuing to use ray cannons to open up the battlefield, and ordered the ships to increase the density of firepower at any cost, and the flying mecha troops waited for the opportunity to be airborne.
The division commanders of three flying mecha assault divisions made the decision to immediately airborne at the same time.
The more units you parachute, the more you can disperse enemy fire. The more troops will eventually be able to land safely.
More than 1,700 flying mechs were in full array, and there was a sudden and noticeable pause in the firepower projection on the battlefield, and then all the battleships suddenly poured their firepower with all their might, and the number of shells per unit of time reached a new high.
In order to interfere with the enemy's line of sight, the Qin Feng dropped nearly 5,000 airborne capsules at one time.
The jamming pods have been exhausted, and this time the dropping is a real airborne pod, but all of them are empty.
This mission does not need to be airborne multiple times, and the spare airborne capsule carried by the Qin Feng is only these 5,000.
Ten seconds after the launch of the airborne capsule, the three assault divisions received the order to depart at the same time, and more than 1,700 flying mechs jumped out of the hatch in batches. Synchronous descent with the airborne capsule at a vertical altitude of about a kilometer.
The idea of the black bear is simple.
Enemy fire in the perimeter of the airborne field can threaten the safety of the airborne forces. But with the battleship firing at full strength, the Shang had to make a choice between destroying the cannonball and destroying the flying mech.
Choosing to destroy the shell, the enemy who successfully landed will attack from land; Choose to destroy the flying mech, and the density of anti-aircraft fire decreases. The gun emplacements were bound to suffer irreparable losses. The intensity of anti-aircraft fire was significantly reduced. The enemy is still able to carry out airborne landings.
The dilemma is enough to make any commander schizophrenia.
In this way, even if the airborne troops have certain losses, they can ensure that most of the team members can be successfully airborne.
Next, the airborne troops stabilized the shape in the airborne field. Once you have a bridgehead, you can advance to the periphery, and the follow-up troops will be able to continuously drop on the new land.
I have to say that the black bear's wishful thinking played well, and the development of the war was more smooth than he expected.
After the airborne capsule entered the atmosphere, the enemy actually used all his strength to deal with more shells than the airborne capsule as if he didn't see it!
This unexpected surprise made everyone overjoyed, and the flying mecha that was originally following behind the airborne capsule immediately accelerated, increasing the speed of descent and shortening the time spent in the air.
When cleaning up the battlefield after the war, the black bear figured out what was going on.
Humans don't know about the air defense capabilities of the Shang people, and the Shang people also don't know what is going on with the orbital airborne of humans, they have never seen orbital airborne at all, how can they think that humans have caught smuggled goods in the rain of shells?
As for the acceleration and sudden orbit change in the middle of the flight mecha, it is not surprising that although the airborne capsule does not have the ability to fly, it can still be done by simply accelerating and decelerating and adjusting the direction.
After several waves of jamming pods landing, the Shang people have become accustomed to it, so they have been concentrating on dealing with the more threatening shells, thus ignoring the two obvious flaws of acceleration and orbit change.
Accidents and luck have been one of the key factors affecting the victory or defeat of the battle since ancient times, and the Shang people's momentary negligence pushed them into the bottomless abyss of defeat.
With the exception of a very small number of flying mechs that were hit, the vast majority of troops managed to enter low altitudes with little loss of strength.
At an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, the flying mecha assault division collectively slowed down and changed direction, quickly divided into several assault groups, swept over the dead airborne landing field, sorted out the remnants of the enemy at the airborne landing field, and launched an assault in all directions at the same time.
Although the gamma ray cannon has a strong penetrating ability, it is not a panacea, and a thick enough shield can effectively block the damage of the rays, so the seemingly dead airborne field is not as calm as it seems on the surface.
The remaining firing points did not hesitate to expose their positions and took the initiative to shoot at the enemy in the air.
However, flying mechs that fly at ultra-low altitude and supersonic speeds are not so easy to hit, and the Shang clan's desperate counterattack has achieved few results.
The human flying mecha does not need to fight back at all, as long as it flies over the enemy's firepower point at high speed in flight, a strong sonic boom will break all the enemy's resistance, and destroy the enemy without blood.
When the group reached the edge of the landing field, half of the flying mechs continued to use sonic boom tactics to annihilate the enemy, and the other half deformed and landed on foot.
The commander of the Shang clan was shocked when he received the news, and hurriedly mobilized men and horses to make amends, and the originally strong air defense force was greatly affected by the redistribution of personnel, and the firepower network was sparse more than a chip.
Taking advantage of this obvious flaw, the black bear parachuted more than 10,000 people from the two marine assault divisions at one time like a gambler who was about to turn the page on the loss, and after a few minutes, more than 90 percent of the commandos successfully landed.
Since the emergence of the airborne troops, it has always been the "weapon of the country" of various countries, and it is also the most ferocious mobile armed force, but after unveiling the dazzling aura, the real airborne troops are also one of the most dangerous arms, and huge sacrifices have always entangled this branch like a demon, and it is not uncommon for the troops to lose more than half of them or even the entire army in the course of the battle.
Although sufficient preparations had been made in advance, the black bear was still mentally prepared to bear huge losses, but he never imagined that under the condition that the enemy army had a perfect anti-aircraft fire network, the division-level airborne would be able to maintain 90 percent combat effectiveness after landing.
