786.Orbital Drop (Part 1)
Orbital Drop!
This is another gamble of Matt-Hona!
You know, compared with this extremely cool name and combat method, Orbital Drop has never been a beautiful thing, whether it is for the enemy or for yourself.
Dropping people from low-Earth orbit at an altitude of about 2,000 kilometers, and often continuing to accelerate in order to increase the penetration rate, the Reverse Thrust Engine is not turned on until it is almost to the ground, and at the same time, the reverse thrust of the engine is used to blow open the parachute and land.
Such a process is not safe in any way, and can even be said to be suicidal. You must know that the Gravitational Acceleration in this process is very scary. Even if the Orbital Drop cabin is heavily protected, ordinary people will never be able to come out alive from it.
You know, paratroopers only jump 2 or 3,000 meters high, but the height of Orbital Drop is directly 1,000 times higher! It's more than 2,000 kilometers!
Only the bravest warriors become paratroopers and become Orbital Drop Soldier? What this requires is no longer courage, what it requires is madness!
Regarding the research on Orbital Drop, Fourth Civilization only conducted some preliminary feasibility study reports, and the headquarters believed that they first lacked suitable warships, secondly, lacked suitable equipment, and thirdly lacked suitable personnel. Moreover, such combat risks were too high, so the establishment of Orbital Assault Team is still far away.
And compared to the development and construction of other large warships, the establishment priority of Orbital Assault Team is not high.
But this time Matt-Hona was completely pressed by the one-month deadline of Tang Xiao. He treated the dead horse as a living horse doctor. After seeing the two Corsev Battlecruiser prototype ships on Dawn Star Planet Industrial Ring, he came up with this idea.
Orbital Drop!
The idea of Matt-Hona did not come randomly. He had actually studied the situation of Corsev Battlecruiser and came to the conclusion that he could give it a try.
But this is not an ordinary Orbital Drop after all. It uses the assault aircraft originally used for gang-hopping operations to change its direction and launch it towards the planet!
Matt-Hona The only hope is that after these assault aircraft turn on their shields and anti-gravity devices, the passengers inside can withstand this terrifying Gravitational Acceleration.
If you can withstand it, a surprise force will fall from the sky.
If not, then it would just be thousands of iron coffins thrown away.
There are no ifs on the battlefield, there is only one chance. If this time it fails, then Galactic Republic will be prepared, and the effect of the surprise attack will be greatly reduced.
And what Matt-Hona wants is to succeed in one battle!
At this moment, over the Terminus Planet capital Fermos City, thousands of raiding spacecraft descended from the sky under countless anti-aircraft firepower. These spacecraft did not activate Reverse Thruster until they were less than 200 meters away from the ground and opened their parachutes, and then crashed to the ground with strong kinetic energy that remained!
Before the high temperature caused by friction with the air dissipated, the spacecraft door opened, and more than a dozen soldiers wearing second-generation N-7 combat armor rushed out, aiming at the surrounding enemies and shooting at the surrounding enemies. At the same time, they quickly found bunkers on the spot to hide.
These are all soldiers of the Fourth Legion, the most elite warriors of Fourth Civilization!
A total of 6,000 Fourth Legion soldiers participated in this Orbital Drop battle.
Matt-Hona, this time one-third of the entire Fourth Legion force was used to gamble! If the gamble fails, one-third of the Fourth Legion soldiers will be thrown to death in the assault spaceship for no reason. At that time, even his most optimistic estimate will only be to apologize with death!
And this is only part of it. Among the many raid spaceships that were launched, what rushed out were not people, but biological weapons!
Indjori Avenger Type 101!
This kind of biological weapon created by transforming Indjori's body through T-Virus and implanting Nemesis Parasite has been proven in the Christophsis battle. It is a powerful biological weapon that can meet the needs of current combat.
However, due to the strong genes of Indjori repelling T-Virus and Nemesis Parasite, Indjori Avenger Type 101 still only has an IQ slightly stronger than instinct and cannot use weapons. Therefore, in order to improve their combat effectiveness, scientists installed a Automatic Laser Gun on them.
This kind of modification of Automatic Laser Gun is very simple. It actually involves taking off the head of a B-1 combat robot and then installing a laser gun on it. It seems a bit funny, and the power of the laser gun is also average, but at least it gives Indjori Avenger Type 101 some long-range firepower.
And because of the rush of time, the language system in the heads of these B-1 combat robots has not even been removed. This made Indjori Vengeance's voice of Roger Roger on the robot head on its back never stop for a moment when Indjori Vengeance was fighting.
Of the 6,000 Fourth Legion warriors, only a little more than half, or about 3,500 of them, were able to walk out of the spacecraft alive. However, none of the Indjori Avenger Type 101 had any accidents. They all landed safely on the ground and launched a crazy attack!
No matter what, such simple and crude Orbital Drop tactics really worked.
Almost in the entire Fermos City, wars were ignited everywhere! The scope of Orbital Drop is almost all over the city, which makes it impossible for Republic army to organize effective resistance.
As night falls, some shadows begin to move around the city.
Those mercenaries who pretended to be hired by Galactic Republic did not leave anything behind.
On the contrary, when they came, they brought some of the most dangerous things inside Fermos City.
The Terminus Planet customs officers responsible for entry inspection did not carefully inspect the mercenary's spacecraft after receiving a thick stack of red envelopes from Hutt.
The war was in full swing at that time, and Galactic Republic Army did not think of conducting a second review of the mercenaries' spaceships. When they resisted the robot attacks, the brave mercenaries did not show any abnormality, which gave them a chance.
After a premeditated retreat, the mercenaries delivered the small gifts they brought into the darkest corners of the city.
And now, as the night falls, black shadows crawl out one after another from these corners...
Humanoid shapes, on all fours, with sharp claws, exposed brains, and long tongues. They wandered on the walls and ceilings, walking on the ground, silently.
It's Licker!!
Among the T-Virus series of biological weapons, after a series of simulations and experiments, a few types can be used in actual combat.
As for the famous T-103 Tyrant? In the experiment, it was not enough to shoot with the DC-15 blaster, which was a matter of two or three shots.
