One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety Half-Fallen and Struck
;This is indeed possible, but do the aliens overestimate themselves and underestimate Mars?
In order to avoid the super cannon, the aliens chose the landing point above the equator. This is indeed a good place to land, but it also creates many difficulties for subsequent operations. See ΔΔ Book Pavilion 『kan→shu→
Mars is not a small Ceres. The straight-line distance from the equator to the poles is more than 5,000 kilometers. The possibility of aliens rushing directly to the poles after landing is infinitely close to zero, unless they deliberately seek death.
The Ladder crippled the alien fleet and firmly grasped the air supremacy in the hands of humans. Any enemy who dared to march on the surface of Mars would be ruthlessly attacked from the sky.
The road to attack immediately was blocked. The only choice for the aliens was to dig a hole on the spot, build a temporary base first, and then rely on Martian resources to compete with humans for Mars.
But this is also not a good idea. Although the aliens can build so many bases in the barren asteroid belt, it is based on the fact that the asteroid belt is not short of water. Without water, there will be no alien bases.
Aliens have never landed on Mars, and there is no material basis here, let alone understanding the distribution of water veins here.
Is there a lack of water on Mars? In fact, there is no lack at all. Research has found that if the polar ice caps of Mars are completely melted, the water produced can completely cover Mars.
Moreover, the frozen water veins are not concentrated at the poles, but start from the poles and extend from the polar regions to about 60 degrees latitude, which is still far from the equator where the aliens landed. It is not so easy for aliens to go there.
As for whether there is water at the equator, it is really hard to say, because the annual maximum temperature at the equator of Mars can reach more than 20 degrees above zero. Even if there is water, it only exists deep underground. No matter how good the giant worm is at digging holes, it can only find water.
In other words, it is easy to dig a hole but difficult to gain a foothold. Whether the alien fleet landing on Mars can gain a foothold depends entirely on whether water can be found in the landing area.
No matter how you look at it, landing on Mars is an extremely failed choice.
The Ladder did not indulge the aliens at all, and fired at the landing enemy without hesitation, and the first target locked by the Ladder was the landing alien warship.
With the power of the super cannon, even the Earth's atmosphere can be easily penetrated. The density of Mars' atmosphere is only one percent of that of the Earth. In front of the super cannon, it is like a layer of window paper, which can be penetrated with a single poke.
The beam hit the target, and the enemy ship had no resistance and quickly vaporized and disappeared, killing many insects.
Witnessing this scene, the alien fleet exploded on the spot, and the remaining enemy ships were divided into two waves again. One wave of enemy ships turned around and left, with insects leaving the warships as they walked; the other wave rushed to Mars without hesitation, obviously wanting to cover the alien warships in front.
How could the Ladder be fooled by such a simple trick? Still firing at the landing enemy ships at the inherent rhythm.
After losing several warships in succession, the aliens could no longer care about so many things. All the landing warships were filled with thousands of insects. At the beginning, the human side thought that it was insects, but everyone immediately found that the situation was not right. Those were not insects, but countless enemy soldiers vibrating their wings!
Many people didn't remember until this time that the servants could fly.
The servants cloned by Beidu could also fly, but the servants were controlled by chips, and the flight control program of the chips was not particularly perfect. The flying speed and sensitivity of the servants were inferior to those of the enemy soldiers.
Fortunately, the task of the defenders was only defense, and there was no requirement for mobility, so it didn't matter if they couldn't fly well.
The enemy soldiers did not fly alone. Many of them carried things, and several of them worked together to carry giant insects down.
These were all normal. What was unexpected was that there were several giant insects waving Egypt and circling down. They were either fat or heavy, and such small wings could make them fly. It was simply a miracle!
The scene of the aliens' airborne landing was almost a dance of demons. Compared with the aliens, the orbital airborne landing of the Marines was only a parachute and a landing craft, which was really monotonous.
There were more and more targets, and the Ladder had already opened fire at full speed, but the frequency of the super cannon's firing was so high that there were too few targets that could be shot down.
At this time, several transport ships that couldn't stand it also opened fire. These warships directly emptied the missile nests and fired all the missiles that could be launched. All the missiles flew towards the landing enemy, some of which were nuclear bombs.
The aliens who were busy landing keenly discovered the incoming missiles and immediately opened fire to intercept them. In the blink of an eye, the airborne area was covered with fine light, and the hit rate was surprisingly good.
The aliens had suffered too much from missiles and had developed the habit of intercepting missiles immediately. They would rather fail in the airborne landing than intercept the missiles first.
In the end, less than one-tenth of the missiles broke through the blockade, but this one-tenth caused great damage to the enemy, especially several nuclear bombs, which exploded directly among the airborne enemy troops. All the enemy troops within the explosion range were instantly finished, and the enemy soldiers who were a little further away were also blown over by the shock wave of the explosion. Many enemy soldiers' wings were burned by light radiation, and their bodies were also scorched by light radiation, and they rolled to the ground.
In order to cover the enemy soldiers who were airborne, the alien fleets actually moved their positions and used warships to block the enemy soldiers who were landing.
The Ladder was not polite at all and directly fired at them with cannons, destroying four enemy ships in one go. Even though the remaining enemy ships landed, the Ladder did not give up and kept firing at the airborne zone.
A few minutes later, this chaotic confrontation finally came to an end. The alien fleet attacking Mars suffered a loss of up to 70%, and the aliens lost more than one-fifth of their troops during the airborne landing. If the enemy soldiers were not particularly scattered, the defenders could have achieved even higher results.
Of course, this is not the final statistical result, because some of the transport ships of the Ladder are still bombarding the ground, looking like they will never stop fighting.
At this moment, the aliens were so depressed that they could not be described in words. The ice planet (Ceres) was so easy to land, but why did they suffer such a big loss on the red planet (Mars)?
In order to reduce losses, the aliens sent giant worms to dig holes as soon as they landed, but Mars is basically a desert planet. The giant worms did dig through the surface and drilled into the ground, but the flowing sand quickly buried the hole, and the enemy soldiers who were planning to drill in were dumbfounded on the spot.
In desperation, the aliens could only let those who could drill into the sand drill into the sand, regardless of whether they could drill into the ground or not, and buried the people with sand first.
In this way, a large number of enemy soldiers drilled into the sand pile at the fastest speed, and the enemy group on the ground quickly disappeared. In just a few minutes, there was no trace of the enemy soldiers.
But can sand be compared with soil and rock layers? Obviously not!
