Chapter 622 Airborne Capital

Amber, who was far away at the Atlas headquarters, was indeed a little surprised after receiving the news. He did not expect that Marshal Trafalgar would still have such a trick up his sleeve. He could only sigh that "old ginger is still spicy".

And Major General Henry in the Federal Capital Martial Law Command, after receiving the communication from the garrison fleet, felt like he had gone from hell to heaven.

Especially after receiving the support of the orbital strike fleet, the martial law commander was immediately full of confidence.

At first, Major General Henry was not sure whether Marshal Trafalgar did it deliberately. Among the remaining half of the capital garrison fleet, there were 3 squadrons with a total of 30 "Dragon-class" near-space orbital attack ships.

In addition to providing fire support through orbital attack missiles, these attack ships can also deploy orbital paratroopers composed of infantry, light multi-legged tanks and HCPs.

After the near-orbital strike ships were connected to the tactical network of the martial law troops, Rear Admiral Henry, relying on the authority of the commander-in-chief, discovered that the marines on these near-orbital strike ships were all veterans recalled from the front line of the previous battle with the Empire.

"Marshal Trafalgar seems to have been prepared. Did he guess that Elaine King and Thomas White would launch a coup?"

Rear Admiral Henry thought silently in his heart, but this time he was wrong.

Marshal Trafalgar prepared a group of veterans with rich combat experience to stay in the capital garrison fleet, not because he guessed that the leaders of the two parties would launch a coup - in fact, the armed coup that is happening now is also accidental in a sense.

The naval marshal simply "saw too much" and left such an absolutely loyal and combat-capable force for the sake of insurance.

Of course, Major General Henry did not think of this, or he did not have time to think about it at this time, because.

"The counterattack starts now!"

Major General Henry danced excitedly in the combat command center of the martial law headquarters. The support of the garrison fleet gave him the confidence to reverse the current disadvantage and eliminate all the rebels in one go.

Although the orbital paratroopers are mainly light infantry, they are equipped with some all-terrain vehicles for mobility, and then a small number of light multi-legged tanks carrying 120 dual-purpose guns to provide some direct or indirect fire support, and finally a small number of HCPs are at the bottom of the box.

Such troops are thrown down to resist units such as heavy synthetic brigades, which may be like hitting a rock with an egg. The latter may concentrate some heavy armored units to charge and solve the battle.

But the characteristics of the orbital paratroopers allow Major General Henry to quickly deploy them to some key positions, and the street fighting in the city can also make up for some weaknesses of the light troops, allowing them to have more shelters to rely on, rather than facing the enemy head-on on the plains.

What's more, the orbital paratroopers dropped down have all been through a lot of actual combat tests on the front line. Compared with the "parade units" like the Capital Garrison Brigade, their combat experience is far superior, and these experiences are enough to offset their own disadvantages and even turn the tide of the war.

And the half of the garrison fleet left by Marshal Trafalgar has completely revealed their nature as a "skin-changing" fleet.

Unlike other people's impression that the Capital Garrison Fleet will only conduct a steady "orbital cruise", those near-orbital attack ships directly lowered the orbital altitude in a very radical way and entered the attack position in a very short time.

When Major General Henry saw the signal of "orbital strike is ready" on the command terminal, he became excited. After all, since he became the commander of the Capital Garrison, he has never commanded such an elite force.

So he no longer hesitated at this time, and directly transmitted several coordinates and related information that needed to be defended and controlled by the orbital paratroopers to the near-orbital attack ship detachment through the tactical network, and issued an order for the "orbital paratroopers to airdrop immediately".

Over the federal capital star, in low orbit.

At the bottom of the first wave of 10 near-orbital attack ships, the orbital airdrop doors slowly opened, and rows of special airdrop capsules were pushed to the launch position.

The yellow indicator light representing "ready to airdrop" flashed inside each airdrop capsule, and at the same time, the voices of the airdrop commanders of each ship also rang in the ears of these orbital paratroopers.

"Attention everyone, prepare for airdrop! Target - important nodes in the capital special zone, the rebels are rapidly approaching the capital special zone, we must rush to the ground before them to prepare to defend the capital!"

The commander's resolute and powerful voice echoed in the communication channel. Everyone knew the significance of this combat mission and the weight of the order of "defending the capital".

As the airdrop entered the countdown, the engine of the near-orbital attack ship began to emit a low roar, and the powerful power surged inside the hull. The hull trembled slightly, aiming the airdrop capsule at the bottom of the ship at the target area.

Through the display screen at the bottom of the airdrop capsule, the orbital paratroopers could see the blue planet below gradually rotating, and the mountains, rivers and huge cities on the surface of the planet were becoming clearer and clearer in their vision.

"Five, four, three, two, one, start airdrop!"

In an instant, the huge ejection force shot the airdrop capsule out of the transport ship like a cannonball. Hundreds of airdrop capsules formed a spectacular falling star in orbit, whistling towards the planet's atmosphere.

At first, in the dark and silent space, the airdrop capsule flew at high speed along the predetermined orbit, dragging a long booster trail behind it, and descended towards the planet's atmosphere with an unstoppable momentum.

Surrounded by endless stars, distant and cold, as if silently watching this raid across the sky and earth.

As the altitude decreased, the gravity of the planet gradually pulled the airdrop capsule into the atmosphere. When it touched the edge of the atmosphere, violent friction occurred instantly, and a layer of hot orange-red light appeared on the surface of the airdrop capsule. The surrounding air was extremely compressed, forming a violent plasma layer, emitting a deafening whistle.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar released this novel for the first time.

Wrapped in the plasma layer, the airdrop capsule was like a burning white night meteor, drawing a series of gorgeous and thrilling trajectories in the atmosphere.

The orbital paratroopers in the cabin were under huge overload pressure, their bodies were pressed tightly on the seats, but their eyes were still firm.

These soldiers who are absolutely loyal to the Federation Navy and Marshal Trafalgar are not afraid of any danger. As long as they receive an order, they will not hesitate even if they are in a sea of ​​fire and swords.

Not to mention, the purpose of their action is to protect the capital and the legitimate regime of the Federation from being attacked by the "rebels".

At this moment, the residents of the Federation Capital Star with suitable geographical locations saw a series of "white night meteors" passing over their heads for the first time in their lives.

This is a scene they never thought of and never dared to believe would happen over the Federation Capital.

But now, it has really happened.

This also means that the Federation is about to change.
