967 Landing on Jupiter 4
Ye Han knew very well that the purpose of the resistance organization was not simple. After the mixing, there would be troops from both sides. In this way, Ye Han could not use the aliens as cannon fodder. From a certain perspective, it could be said that the aliens were being used as cannon fodder. Star people as hostages.
But having said that, Ye Han also wants to know the progress of the resistance organization's landing. If the war zones are divided according to the method discussed before the war, then the resistance organization will be out of the sight of mankind. No one even found the servant production line on Callisto. You know, and mixing can effectively avoid this, how could Ye Han disagree?
It depends on the specific situation, but Ye Han instinctively played a hard-to-get trick.
The two sides reached an agreement as quickly as possible, and then Ye Han immediately reported the situation to Gao Kai. Gao Kai gave an order and the fleet that was sailing in a standard formation immediately dispersed. The main force of the fleet continued to stay on the 700-kilometer orbit. After receiving the order, The two frigates of the landing order, the Monsanto, and two transport ships filled with liberal fighters began to approach Callisto.
The fleet does not fly around Callisto, but always stays parallel to Callisto, so the warships must use their engines to resist Callisto's gravity, rather than using the speed of the orbit to offset its gravity.
Therefore, the closer to Callisto, the higher the battleship's engine output. Fortunately, Callisto's gravity is very small, and the battleship hovers without pressure.
The warships approaching Callisto were very careful and prepared to avoid it from the beginning. However, the altitude of several warships dropped from 700 kilometers to less than 100 kilometers. There was still no change on the surface of Callisto, just like the outer surface. The Stars ignored this fleet.
This abnormal and strange situation made everyone murmur together.
Soon, the two frigates stopped at an altitude of more than 100 kilometers and prepared for air support. The two transport ships and the assault ship Mengshan continued to lower their altitude.
The former finally stopped at less than 80 kilometers, and the latter, although still capable of continuing to decline, remained consistent with the two transport ships.
Although Callisto's gravity is small, the battleship is too large. When the transport ship stops at an altitude of 80 kilometers, the engine output is already very high, and there is a risk of crashing if it continues to descend.
The several hovering warships are almost immobile targets. The ground anti-aircraft firepower will definitely hit as long as it fires. The fleet is very worried about this from top to bottom, but the result is still no different from before.
Ye Han suddenly realized that he might have overestimated the aliens' strength on Callisto.
At this time, the landing operation finally started. A dozen carbon fiber cables with a length of more than 80 kilometers popped out from the bottom of a transport ship, hanging from the battleship to the ground of Callisto. Then the servants carrying AK47Js jumped out of the cabin one by one. Holding the cable and falling from the sky.
If this kind of thin and long cable were placed on the earth, its weight alone would be a fatal problem, but on Callisto, which has weak gravity, this small problem is not a problem at all.
Ye Han had long known that the resistance organization planned to land by skiing, but seeing this scene still felt unbearable.
Descending from a height of 80 kilometers can only be done so easily by a servant covered with a shell. You are indeed an artificial creature. You dare to be exposed to a vacuum environment with only a piece of breathing equipment!
It is said that this method was designed by the resistance organization with reference to the orbital elevator. Beiyuezhou also specially organized people to conduct several studies to study whether human airborne troops could use this method.
The result is that there is no problem in using it, but the risk is relatively high and the efficiency is far less than that of the landing craft.
In fact, the number of people dropped by the landing craft per unit time is much less than that of the cables, but the landing craft can transport the soldiers to the designated location. Not only is it a firepower platform, it can also carry some additional ammunition and supplies. Its comprehensive performance can fully explode several cables. street.
The descending speed of the servant is very fast, almost like a free fall. However, the gravity of Callisto is small and the speed of free fall is also slow. The falling alien does not even need to hold the cable tightly, but only needs to hold the cable emptyly. When it feels that the speed is fast, With a squeeze, you can control the speed of your fall.
After a while,
More than a dozen cables were already filled with servants, and they looked quite impressive.
Ye Han turned his attention to the Mengshan, which had been silent.
Since the third regiment was arranged on Callisto, he had no intention of taking command from Long Jianguo and just waited quietly.
It wasn't until the servant soldiers descended for more than 40 kilometers that a few fires appeared at the bottom of the Mengshan. An improved Swift landing craft broke away from the warship and flew lightly to the ground.
Then came the second, then the third, and after counting to the ninth, there was no movement again.
Ye Han showed a very satisfied smile.
Each Swift can transport a platoon, an integrated regiment plus direct troops, a total of thirty Swifts are needed.
The Mengshan only launched nine Swifts, indicating that Long Jianguo only committed one battalion to Callisto and preserved enough reserves.
There are only more than 200 people in an airborne battalion. The number is indeed a bit small, but the main force in this battle is the servant warriors of the resistance organization. The human soldiers are just a soy sauce in the past. The number is not a problem. The key is whether there are people following. !
This is very important to both humans and the Resistance.
Swift's falling speed was much faster than that of gliding, and it didn't take long to catch up with the first wave of servant soldiers who jumped out of the spacecraft. The landing craft descended together with the gliding servants, and it was also airborne from orbit. It was really a rare sight. .
Swift intentionally stayed in the air for a period of time to provide air cover for the servant soldiers.
A few minutes later, the descending servant landed first, and the landing place happened to be on a flat land.
The aliens that landed quickly dispersed, ran away for a distance according to the tactics taught by the human professor, knelt on one knee and stood guard with guns, and soon formed a circle near the landing site.
After the warning circle was formed, the servant soldiers who landed quickly gathered into a team. After the total number exceeded 100, they were immediately taken away and rushed to the nearby predetermined target.
Regardless of whether they were destroyed by air strikes, the marked locations were the targets of the resistance organization. After several teams of servants dispersed, the Swift, who did not find any abnormalities, chose a safe location to land.
Until this time, there was still no exchange of fire, and no hostile aliens could be seen within the fleet's sight, which made everyone feel weird.
The soldiers on the Swift quickly got out of the landing craft, set up a warning circle and assembled troops, and then acted separately in squads, with each squad following a team of servant soldiers.
So far, the coalition successfully landed on Callisto, but no one thought that the successful landing was worth celebrating.
A team of servant warriors rushed to the target closest to the landing site, which was an alien building that had half of its side destroyed by the fleet. The icy white insect shells were shattered all over the ground, and the remaining buildings were shaky and could collapse at any time.
