Chapter 793: Orbital Airdrop (1)
Orbital Airdrop!
This is another gamble from Matt Horner!
You know, compared to this cool name and combat method, Orbital Airdrops have never been a good thing, both for the enemy and for yourself.
They have to drop off at Low-Earth Orbit at an altitude of about 2,000 kilometers. To increase the penetration rate, they accelerated continuously and only turned on the Reverse Thrusters when they had almost reached the ground, and at the same time, used the Reverse Thrust Force to blow the Parachute to land.
Such a process is not safe in any case, and it can even be said to be a suicide. You should know that the gravity acceleration in this process is very terrible. Even if there is heavy protection in a Drop Pod, ordinary people will never be able to get out alive.
You should know that Paratroopers only jump from 2,000 or 3,000 meters, but the Orbital Airdrop height is over 1,000 times! It is more than 2,000 kilometers!
Only the bravest Soldiers will become Paratroopers, but Orbital Airdrop Soldiers? What this requires is no longer courage, it requires madness!
Regarding the study of Orbital Airdrops, the Fourth Civilization only conducted some preliminary feasibility study reports on the ODSTs, and the Command Department believed that they lacked suitable Warships first, suitable equipment second, and suitable personnel third. Such combat risks were far too high, so the establishment of Orbital Commandos has not been achieved.
Moreover, compared with the research, development and construction of other large Warships, the priority of the establishment of Orbital Commandos is not high.
But this time Matt Horner was completely forced by Tang Xiao's one-month deadline, and after seeing the two Prototype Corsev-class Battlecruisers on the Star Ring of Dawn, he became aware of this idea.
Orbital Airdrop!
Matt Horner's brains didn't come by casually. He had indeed studied the situation of the Corsev-class Battlecruiser and concluded that it could be tried.
But this is not an ordinary Orbital Airdrop with Drop Pods after all. It is Boarding Pods originally used for Boarding Operations launched towards the Planet!
Matt Horner's only hope is that after these Boarding Pods turn on the Deflector Shield and Anti-Gravity Device, they can allow the passengers inside to withstand this terrifying gravity acceleration.
If it is endured, then a surprise weapon will fall from the sky.
If not, then it would just throw away thousands of iron coffins.
There are no ifs on the battlefield, only one chance. If this time it is not successful, then the Republic will be prepared and the Orbital Airdrop's effect will be greatly reduced.
And what Matt Horner wants is a success in one battle!
At this moment, Thousands of Boarding Pods fell from the sky with countless Anti-Aircraft Firepower in the sky. These Boarding Pods did not turn on the Reverse Thrusters and Parachutes until less than 200 meters above the ground, and then landed on the ground with powerful kinetic energy that had never stopped with a bang!
Before the high temperature caused by friction with the air had dissipated, the Boarding Pods Cabin Door opened, and more than a dozen Soldiers wearing second-generation N-7 Battle Armor rushed out, aiming at the surrounding enemies for a burst of fire, and at the same time, they quickly searched for cover on the spot to hide.
These are all Soldiers of the Fourth Legion and the most Elite Soldiers of the Fourth Civilization!
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
A total of 6,000 Fourth Legion Elite Soldiers participated in this Orbital Airdrop Operation.
Matt Horner, this time used one-third of the entire Fourth Legion's Elite Soldiers to gamble! If the gamble fails, all one-third of the Fourth Legion Elite Soldiers will be meaninglessly thrown to death in the Boarding Pods. By then, even his most optimistic estimate, the only way will be to apologize in death!
And this is only a part of it. Among the many Boarding Pods that were launched, it was not Humans, but Biological Weapons!
Yinchorri Avenger T-101s!
This Biological Weapon made by using the body of the Yinchorri transformed by the T-virus and implanted with the Nemesis Alpha Parasite has been proven at the Battle of Christophsis, which is a powerful Biological Weapon that can meet the current combat needs.
However, because the powerful genes of the Yinchorri reject the T-virus and NE-α, the Yinchorri Avenger T-101s still have only a slightly stronger IQ than instinct and cannot use weapons. Therefore, to improve their combat effectiveness, scientists installed an Automatic Laser Rifle on them.
The modification of this Automatic Laser Gun is very simple. In fact, it is to take off the head of a B-1 Battle Droid and then install a Laser Rifle. It seems a bit funny, and the power of the Laser Rifle is also average, but at least it gives Yinchorri Avenger T-101s some long-range firepower.
Moreover, because of the haste, the language system in the heads of these B-1 Battle Droids has not even been removed, which has not stopped the Roger Roger's voice on the Droid's head on their back when the Yinchorri Avenger T-101s were fighting.
Only more than half of the 6,000 Fourth Legion Elite Soldiers were able to walk out of the Boarding Pods, about 3,500 Soldiers, but none of the Yinchorri Avenger T-101s were injured. They all fell to the ground safely and launched a crazy attack!
No matter what, such a simple and crude Orbital Airdrop Tactic has indeed worked.
Wars ignited everywhere in almost the entire Capital City of Fermos! The Orbital Airdrop range was almost spread throughout the Capital City, which made it impossible for the Republic Army to organize effective resistance.
And as the night falls, some shadows begin to move in the Capital City.
The Mercenaries who had pretended to be hired by the Republic left nothing behind...
Instead, when they came, they brought some of the most dangerous things to the inside of the Capital City of Fermos.
After receiving a thick stack of Credits from the Huts, the Customs Officers on Terminus did not carefully check the Mercenaries' Spaceships.
The war was in full swing at that time, and the Galactic Republic Army did not expect to conduct a second review of the Mercenary Spacecraft. Before, when resisting the attacks of those Battle Droids, the brave Mercenaries who fought did not show any abnormalities, which gave them this chance.
After a premeditated escape from the entire Fontline, the Mercenaries sent their small gifts into the darkest corners of Fermos City.
And now, then night crawled out of these corners one black shadow after another...
Humanoid, on all fours, with sharp claws, exposed brains, and long tongues, they wander on the walls and ceilings, walking on flat ground, silently.
It's a Licker!!
Among the T-virus series of Biological Weapons, after a series of simulations and experiments, only a few types can be used for actual combat.
As for the famous T-103 Tyrant? In the experiment, it was not good enough to resist the DC-15A Blaster Rifles, only two or three shots.
