Chapter 213 Saturation Bombing and Clean-Up Offensive
at the same time.
It is in low-Earth orbit about 300 kilometers from the Olympus Mountains on Mars.
The Atlas fleet has already aimed the front ends of its ships at the mountains, and based on the intelligence provided by the hunters, each warship has used its main guns to accurately lock on high-value targets in advance.
The bridge of the Future in the center of the fleet;
"Captain! The Hunters have requested bombing assistance. Their position is exposed and they cannot be evacuated by conventional means!"
After hearing the report from the communications officer, the captain sitting in the main seat called up the real-time location of Brea and others and ordered:
"Inform Lieutenant Commander Brea that they should pay attention to the safe distance, and then inform all warships that after the main guns are charged, they will launch the first main gun salvo with the ship in 10 seconds, and the secondary gun salvo in 20 seconds.
Helmsman, as soon as the fleet blasts away from the crater, launch a nuclear bombing. I want to burn those bastards to ashes! "
"yes!"
The crew members responded in unison.
Moreover, the helmsman also counted down and said:
"The main gun is ready for charging, ten.
Nine,
two!
one! "
Ri~————咻————! ! !
The moment the helmsman finished speaking, an extremely dazzling ballistic missile emitting blue light suddenly appeared at the front of the ship, and was introduced to everyone's eyes through the visual observation porthole of the bridge.
The 1.4-ton needle-type tungsten steel alloy bullet, after being accelerated by a 300-meter-long magnetic track, shot towards the Olympus Mountains 300 kilometers away at a speed of nearly 0.1% of light.
boom--!
The thin atmosphere that first came into contact with the needle-shaped tungsten steel bullet was directly torn apart by unimaginable force. The fire cut through the air and hit the meteorite impact crater at the top of the mountain range.
Boom————Long————! ! !
The violent collision caused rocks, dust and various debris to "splash" from the inside out, just like a man-made "volcanic eruption."
Boom—boom—! !
Five huge plasma cannon groups followed closely behind, and in conjunction with the 1.4-ton needle-shaped tungsten steel bullet that was the first to "land", they directly opened and melted the impact crater.
It's not just these.
The secondary plasma cannons of the Fidus-class and Selune-class directly caused a dense blue plasma "rain" to fall above the crater.
After the main gun and secondary gun completed the first salvo, the helmsman opened the protective cover of the control console and entered the firing order for this operation.
After everything was ready, nearly 1/3 of the red buttons were pressed in sequence.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
A large number of missiles carrying tactical nuclear bombs passed by both sides of the ship, dragging white tail flames towards the impact crater.
Then--
Phew~! ! !
Real small "suns" rose one after another, and suddenly "vaporized" and "evaporated" the large complex of buildings built by the fallen gods except in the south.
At this moment, the Atlas fleet finally completed the bombardment, restoring the already silent space to its original appearance.
However, the impact crater hit by the fleet still has lingering effects, and various follow-up reactions are flooding the surface.
god?
Can God withstand human nuclear fusion?
Looking at the impact crater that could not be calmed down through their respective operating consoles and holographic screens, the crew members did not have any fear or awe of the so-called gods.
Perhaps because they have stayed in the company for too long and learned too much about supernatural phenomena, the crew members instinctively believe that if there is a god in the world, it should be their boss.
now.
The captain sitting in the main seat focused on the real-time developments in front of him.
Seeing that the physical status of Brea and the hunters was still green, with a small amount of yellow indicating minor injuries, he moved his eyes away and continued to order:
"Inform the combatants from all ministries that they can land on the surface of Mars, and notify the carrier-based aircraft squadrons of each ship to enter the atmosphere of Mars with the combatants to help clear away the remnants of the corruption."
"yes!"
Outside the bridge.
The Future and the five Selune-class ships adjusted their hull angles so that the belly of the ship faced the impact crater in the Olympus Mountains.
Immediately afterwards——
call out! call out! call out!
Thousands of single-person, medium-sized and large-sized airdrop pods were ejected from their respective ships, and after starting the propulsion acceleration, they also trailed tail flames and rushed towards the surface of Mars like meteors.
A carrier-based aircraft formation composed of hundreds of White-legged Falcons, unmanned combat aircraft, and several Phantom III fighters also flew away from their respective ships through the channels and pressure chambers, broke into the atmosphere first, and rushed to the areas that had been saturated and bombed by the fleet. Impact crater.
And in the cockpit of a Phantom III fighter jet;
"There are still fifty kilometers to the target location."
"Confirmed, fifty kilometers."
The pilot sitting at the front and the gunner at the tail were having a simple exchange.
Moreover, the gunner's helmet screen has generated a three-dimensional image of the palace complex, and also displays real-time information of "Completeness: 12%" and "There is a large amount of heat source at 03.06 point."
Seeing this scene, the gunner directly targeted the surviving bastards who had escaped the fleet bombing.
Beep-beep-.
As the sound of the lock being completed resounded, the gunner immediately pulled the red trigger and launched a large number of air-to-ground missiles towards the palace complex.
Wait a little.
"Target hit."
An electronic female reminder sound came from the earphones.
After confirming the hit, the gunner had no intention of stopping and continued to use the fire control system to lock on the remaining targets.
Leave the cabin.
Overlooking the entire Olympus Mountains from a high altitude.
The palace complex, which had already become dilapidated due to the fleet bombing, attracted the carrier-based aircraft formation's cleanup offensive.
Those twisted creatures who originally wanted to hunt down and capture Brea and others were "physically purified" by extremely high-temperature, extremely high-energy plasma and nuclear bombs before they could react.
The remaining fallen gods did not understand what they had encountered. They only knew that their bodies disappeared and their souls were forcibly expelled to the subspace, and they witnessed a white light.
Therefore, facing the cleanup offensive of the carrier-based aircraft formation, they could not organize any effective counterattack.
At this time.
Various airdrop pods also successfully broke through the atmosphere and landed in the impact crater that was gradually cooling down.
Bang~ Bang~!
The hatch of the single-soldier airdrop pod was the first to pop open.
Tram! Tram!
The fully armed ODST (Orbital Commando) "landed with both feet" and rushed into the ruined palace complex, moving steadily towards the southern area.
Although they encountered sporadic resistance on the way, the Gauss rifles and BFG plasma guns in their hands were enough to tear and destroy the bodies of twisted creatures, among which the BFG plasma gun performed particularly well.
Then, the main force composed of the emergency response force and the tyrant was responsible for launching a comprehensive sweep.
There were even small magnetic levitation armored vehicles to provide ground firepower output for the main force.
As for Sanguinius and Horus, who also participated in the orbital airdrop, they did not participate in the operation of saving the uncorrupted Greek gods and sweeping the remaining scum, but went straight to the central temple where Zeus was at a speed that even professional equipment could hardly capture.
