One Thousand and Twenty-Four Escape From Jupiter (2)

Dozens of landing craft returned to Ganymede. One of them was hit by a thin light shortly after landing. The landing craft silently split into two halves at Ye Han's feet. The two pilots quickly escaped from the boat. , start the flight bag and fly high.

Luo Qi flew to Ye Han's side and whispered, "Teacher, let's go."

Ye Han sighed: "Let's go!" After saying that, he activated the flight bag and flew to a higher orbit.

After receiving Ye Han's order, the soldiers gathered together according to their formation, holding hands and forming a line of people. Then they opened their flight bags and followed Ye Han to fly higher and higher.

When leaving the landing craft, the relative speed of the landing craft has exceeded 2.8 kilometers per second. The flight package does not have to resist the gravity of Ganymede. It only needs a small output to take the soldiers to a higher orbit. Flying by relying on the flight package Completing the remaining 600 kilometers is no problem at all.

Ye Han, who was flying at the front, never looked back, but he kept receiving satellite images from Liangshan and was always paying attention to the situation below.

During its descent, the landing craft was frantically blocked by the enemy. In order to block the landing craft, even the remaining five warships were temporarily put aside. By the time the landing craft dropped to 70 kilometers, more than a dozen of them had been lost.

Liangshan and Lishan tried their best to cover the landing craft, but there were too many enemies, and these two warships simply couldn't take care of them.

The landing craft received the first batch of stranded personnel at an altitude of 70 kilometers. Their speed exceeded 2.8 kilometers per second. After the landing craft flew to the appropriate position, the soldiers immediately drove the flight pack close to the landing craft and got in one by one to wait for the landing craft. It can be raised again when it is full.

Next are sixty-two kilometers, forty-seven kilometers, forty-one kilometers, thirty-five kilometers, and finally twenty-four kilometers.

The altitude of the first landing craft when it was hit was about 18 kilometers. At that time, the speed of the landing craft was very slow. However, after leaving the boat, the soldiers actively rescued themselves and immediately opened the flight package and flew at full speed. While trying to increase the flight speed, the altitude also increased from 10 to 10 kilometers. Eight kilometers rose to twenty-four kilometers.

Ganymede's atmosphere is too thin, and the density of the atmosphere is much smaller than that of the Earth's low-altitude orbit. It is so small that it can be completely ignored. To put it more exaggeratedly, as long as it exceeds 2.8 kilometers per second, satellites can be launched even if they are close to the ground.

The lower the altitude, the greater the danger, and more landing craft were hit by the thin light. After losing five landing craft in succession, the soldiers of the third company and one platoon of the Second Regiment of the Airborne Division collectively requested the landing craft to evacuate.

There is still about half of the fuel in the flight bag, and the soldiers' speed has reached 1.8 kilometers per second. They feel that before the fuel is exhausted, they can increase the speed to more than 2.8 kilometers per second and reach an altitude of thirty It will be a little over a kilometer away, and it will be much easier to pick them back up by then.

After receiving the request, Ye Han immediately vetoed the soldiers' request and issued a death order to all the landing craft. Even if there was no landing craft left, all the soldiers must be brought back!

It's not that Ye Han is unkind, but that the soldiers are still above the area where the assault fleet has been attacked by air. Although there are still many noble troops hidden underground, there are very few air defense positions on the surface. Wait, when their speed and altitude are all increased, and the troops have almost flown out of the air strike zone, the landing craft will face more anti-aircraft firepower, and the losses will only be greater, not smaller.

The military orders were overwhelming, and the landing craft that received the orders immediately launched rescue operations at all costs. The loss of landing crafts also quickly increased from a dozen to more than twenty.

The first landing craft that descended to 24 kilometers just started to load people, and was hit hard by the noble army. It was cut into pieces by several thin rays of light. From the driver to the soldiers who had just got into the landing craft, no one was spared.

But then came the second one, and then the third one. Finally, in order to reduce the risk, the landing craft even had to enter at high speed and then break away immediately, only picking up two or three people each time.

In this way, more than a dozen landing craft snatched out all the remaining twenty-two soldiers of the second regiment, third company and first platoon.

Nineteen:07 p.m.,

The last landing craft returned to space. Nearly half of the landing craft on the rescue mission was lost, and half a battalion of soldiers stranded on Ganymede suffered casualties.

After receiving the news, Ye Han was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. He never expected that the loss of withdrawing from Ganymede would be greater than that of landing.

Thinking about it more carefully, Ye Han became even more depressed.

The landing time of the Red Sea was around six o'clock in the morning, and the time for the troops to evacuate Ganymede was around sixty in the evening. From six o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening, there was only twelve hours in between. But what about the losses of the fleet?

All the ten transport ships that the fleet brought to Ganymede were thrown on Ganymede, and the hundreds of thousands of servants accompanying the ships were also thrown on Ganymede.

Although the remaining five warships are still resisting, and the main force of the servant army has also invaded the sinkhole, neither the warships nor the servant army can survive the pursuit and interception of the noble army. Defeat is inevitable sooner or later.

The losses of the battleships and servants made Ye Han feel regretful at most, but the casualties of half the battalion were truly heartbreaking.

An in-depth analysis of the reasons for the failure revealed that the unauthorized actions of the servants were one of the important reasons for the failure of the landing. However, having said that, the failure of the servants to obey orders was not the main factor in the failure. What was more, it was the military's underestimation of the enemy's situation.

After calming down, Ye Han carefully reflected on the comprehensive analysis. He suddenly felt that the landing was just to complete the agreement reached between Beidu and the resistance organization. There was no need for him and his troops to land with the servants!

Analyzing from another angle, landing on Ganymede is actually a strategic adventure for humans. The purpose is to hope that landing on Ganymede can break the aliens' nest and achieve the goal of achieving success in one battle by attacking the enemy's base.

There are many similar examples in human history, such as the Market Garden Operation during World War II, which also pinned hopes on a battle, and also ended in failure and heavy losses...

The art of war says that winning by combining the right and the strange is the best. Perhaps this means that winning is called strange, and losing is nothing.

At Ye Han's current level, he cannot contact the command core of Beidu, is not clear about Beidu's strategic considerations, and is not qualified to make decisions about his superiors.

Maybe his analysis is not Beidu's intention, maybe his ideas are too extreme, maybe the results will be different without the unauthorized actions of the servant army, maybe... maybe there is nothing, maybe, the landing failed, and the battle belonging to the airborne division is over. No matter how many helpless objective reasons he came up with, the result of failure cannot be changed.

Although the landing failed, the battle is still going on. What we should do now is not to analyze the reasons for the failure, but to bring the soldiers back to the warships and then bring them back to Earth.
