Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 256

256. Chapter 255, How could there be Space Marines?

Fifteen red-armored warriors, that must be the Phoenix.

These Emperor Angels were the first to get off the landing ship.

This type of landing ship came from the Blade Tiger and was named V-type landing ship.

Landing ships used for orbital landing operations are quite large. One ship can carry 500 people, as well as corresponding weapons and equipment, and even heavy vehicles. It is

also equipped with jammers to defend against anti-aircraft firepower; equipped with small energy shield generators, it has a certain ability to resist attacks; and its own armor is also relatively strong.

In addition to having no weapons and not being that fast, this type of landing ship is a very powerful thing, and it is expensive to build, which is not the same as ordinary civilian transport spacecraft.

There are only two such landing ships on the Blade Tiger.

In addition to some small landing ships.

If all are dispatched, about 2,000 troops can be transported to the ground at one time, and then cycle back and forth. The round-trip time, plus the loading and unloading time, can run a maximum of six hours.

This is not very efficient, but there is no other way.

The Blade Tiger itself is not particularly large. It is just a frigate. It

has about 10,000 crew members. It is already overloaded with 30,000 people. It even takes up a lot of other space for temporary residence and equipment. At that time, Ye Lixia complained about Gu Hang: “The Blade Tiger has become a fat pig.”

On the Blade Tiger, the configuration of the landing ship is so shabby.

For large-scale landing operations, it is either a large starship warship or a special landing starship.

According to estimates, if Gu Hang wants to send all his 35,000 people to the ground, even if the landing ship operates non-stop, it will take more than 100 hours, more than four days.

This period of time is actually the most vulnerable time for the landing force.

But the problem is that the army of the Kingdom of Luman is more vulnerable.

The main force is besieging the suburban town, and the troops that can be sent are few and of low quality.

The first wave of the alliance army directly defeated all the enemies who surrounded the landing site.

Afterwards, more troops came down and began to expand outwards and build temporary positions. They had to defend here for a while.

But at the same time, Gu Hang also made a request for speed. A combined battalion will set out first and fight forward.

After a day’s work, when the 1st Wind-extinguishing Brigade is almost able to complete the assembly, they will complete the assembly, continue to rush forward, pierce the enemy, and leave a small part of the troops to guard the landing site.

Then, after the following divisions and brigades come down, they will follow the footsteps of the troops that set out in front and fight outwards.

This is the situation that the hastily created blocking force of the Kingdom of Luman will face.

Doing so is certainly not as stable as waiting for four days to complete the assembly of the troops before fighting. But it also does not give the opponent time to prepare. With the gap in military quality between the two sides, it will really be penetrated with one pierce.

However, these have little to do with the Space Marines.

While the follow-up troops were still disembarking and assembling, they had already received the order of the Governor-General, boarded three wind falcons, and began to rush to the target location.

Three hundred kilometers, the wind falcon arrived quickly.

In order to prevent being beaten, the wind falcon flew very low. Orbital anti-aircraft guns cannot hit targets that fly too low, and the shooting angle is limited.

As long as the wind falcon does not really fly over the several orbital anti-aircraft positions in Pinsel City.

Low-altitude flying is not easy, but it is relatively smooth here. The main reason is that the terrain outside Pinsel City is relatively flat, without high mountains every now and then; the speed attack boat has strong flight performance; and the pilots are no longer rookies when the air force was just formed. Now that they have a long time of flying, they have honed their skills.

And their first goal was to attack the artillery positions of the Luman Corps that were besieging the suburban town.

In the early stages of the battle, the artillery units of the Luman Kingdom were suppressed miserably. The range and power could not keep up, and the mobility was poor. Once they appeared, they would be counter-bombed by the alliance artillery before they had time to move.

However, they have been revived recently, mainly because the alliance has insufficient artillery and ammunition.

But now, they have suffered a great disaster.

They are not defenseless.

After the Luman army observed the incoming air force, especially after determining that their target was the artillery position, they quickly informed the front line of the enemy situation, asked them to deal with it carefully, and mobilized troops to deploy defenses.

However, it was useless.

What can we do if we are prepared?

The Wind Falcon did not dare to be too arrogant. After firing a round of missiles from a distance, it slipped away and did not conduct low-altitude strafing. That would give the enemy a chance. If they were unlucky and were shot down by those sentinel mechas, they would lose a lot.

As for the Space Marines, they jumped directly from the Wind Falcon.

It is very convenient for the Wind Falcon to deliver Space Marines. It is not like delivering ordinary soldiers. Either they have to rappel or the Wind Falcon has to land on the ground.

For the Space Marines, it may not be too high, but it is not a big problem to jump down at a distance of ten meters. Even the Wind Falcon can keep flying forward, just don’t go too fast.

This greatly improves the speed of deploying troops and the safety of the Wind Falcon itself.

The Space Marines, who weigh several tons including their armor, can create a pit when they fall to the ground.

Then, they come out of the pit unscathed.

At this moment, there are already some enemies surrounding them.

But they are just some miscellaneous soldiers, so what?

The bullets hit them, and there is not even a scratch!

Fifteen Space Marines, led by the head of the Martins Chapter, went to the artillery position in an orderly manner. On the way, they fired steadily and indifferently, and each bullet must take the life of one or more enemies.

Five sentinel mechas appeared and tried to resist. They have a certain resistance to the shooting of the grenade guns and are not so easy to be killed. But in front of the Space Marines, they are still like chickens.

One shot can’t blow it up, so five grenade guns are aimed at it, and with an extremely precise way, they violently shoot and empty five magazines, and the sentinel mecha is naturally broken.

Among them, Martins is the most powerful.

With the Terminator armor, he can equip a heavy bolter with one hand, which is a powerful weapon for penetrating armor.

On the contrary, the machine guns of those sentinel mechas are not without threats to the Space Marines.

But they have to be able to hit.

There was a qualitative difference between the two sides in terms of shooting accuracy and reaction speed.

As soon as the trigger was pressed, before the machine gun shells had even fired two rounds, they were blown up first.

In one encounter, four sentinels were gone.

The remaining one was not chosen as a target because it was too close.

It fired many machine gun shells in one or two seconds, but only a few of them hit the shoulder armor of the Space Marines who were moving sideways. At most, they paused and a small dent was left on their shoulder armor.

The fate of this Sentinel mecha was even more tragic.

Anato, the new blood of the regiment, was the first one. He just accelerated a few steps and came to the front of the Sentinel mecha.

The size of the Sentinel mecha is much larger than that of the Space Marines. Even if the Space Marines are wearing armor, they are generally only about 2.4 meters tall; Martins wearing the Terminator is only 2.7 meters tall.

The Sentinel mecha is more than 3 meters tall.

But it is not true that the bigger it is, the stronger its combat power is.

The Sentinel mecha moved first, and its “Knight Sword” swept towards Anato, but he dodged it by simply bending down.

Then, Anato exerted force under his feet, and the explosive speed made the pilot of the Sentinel mech unable to react, and he was pressed very close.

The battle blade that had been tempered by thousands of times accurately pierced into the gap of the Sentinel’s armor, and its power system was immediately cut off.

Anato exerted force again, flipped the mech to the ground, stepped on the chest, used one hand to hold the knife, and pulled the head with the other hand, and pulled the head of the Sentinel mech off.

The Sentinel mech is not a Knight Titan, and there is no dedicated cockpit. The driver is wrapped inside the mech.

If the mech head is pulled off, then the human head will also be pulled off.

It took Anato only three to five seconds to complete this set of actions.

He put away the battle blade, picked up the gun again, and walked forward quickly.

In these three to five seconds, his comrades had passed him and continued to move forward. During this process, no one even looked at him.

Killing a sentinel mech is not worth paying attention to.

Anato didn’t think he had done anything remarkable, he had to hurry up.

But this scene was too terrifying in the eyes of the Luman soldiers next to him.

Those were five knights!

In their hearts, the knights were invincible!

If the knights were killed by heavy artillery, rocket launchers, and mortars of the so-called alliance soldiers in the previous battle, that would be fine. After all, guns and cannons have no eyes on the battlefield. Even if the knights were wearing armor, they were hit by such targeted attacks and covered by terrible firepower. It seems normal to die in battle. Not to mention, the alliance army also has terrible tanks and armored vehicles…

It is normal for the knights to die in battle. And even so, it is still not easy to get rid of a three-meter-high sentinel mecha. It often takes a while, and the alliance army has to pay some price for it.

But now, it is a completely different concept. Five knights blocked the front of those red-armored warriors, and they were all gone in an instant after almost a face-to-face encounter!

Being treated like chickens, they were killed at will!

For these conscripts of the Kingdom of Luman, this was simply a scene of the collapse of fighting faith.

Those who had a wider range of knowledge and had heard some stories finally remembered some legends at this time.

“This is a Space Marine! It’s an angel!”

The words shouted out involuntarily in fear, and when others heard it, their fighting will was even more corrupted.

This blocking army collapsed just like that.

The Phoenixes did not pursue.

They were just some miscellaneous soldiers. They just approached indifferently and destroyed the artillery positions.

Until the end of the battle, no new army came to interfere with them.

This battle was boring.

The veterans felt that they were just here for a walk. What’s the difference between this kind of stuff and shooting at moving targets in the training ground? That is, things like sentinel mechas are a little interesting and a little more durable, but there are too few of them.

As for the new recruits, most of them also think it’s boring. It was the first time for all of them to leave the Wrathful Owl Star to fight. They were a little nervous at first, but after fighting one battle, they felt…

that was it?

It would be better to fight the cultists in the northern border of the Wrathful Owl Star.

After all, those cultists were not afraid of death, and they had some psychic spells, which was more or less a threat, not to mention that they would enter the real world and face the evil gods, and even win the battle in the end!

These recruits were not very motivated.

Even the last three newly “mature” recruits had at least taken turns to go to the border of the Northern Qinggu Province during the training period, growth period, and before they were given armor. They followed the Qinggu Group Army to continuously clear and eliminate many deformed monsters in the south, and they also had some actual combat experience.

They also felt that the level of these Luman soldiers was really too poor.

After destroying the artillery position, they turned to find a new target.

The one they were targeting was the Ranger-class Knight Titan whose shield generator had been destroyed in the previous battle, and now only dared to be used as a rocket launcher from a distance.

The two Knight Titans were the biggest threat to the suburban town. Even if this one didn’t dare to attack directly, it was still annoying to use extended-range rockets from a distance.

Just shoot it down.

…

Gu Ming and Ness Luman had already guessed what it was when they heard the news of the fifteen red-armored giants.

But despite this, the two of them still had a certain fluke mentality.

How could it really be a Space Marine? Why did the Emperor’s angels appear in such a remote place like Black Arrow Star? They were either fighting a large-scale rebellion that could destabilize multiple star regions, or fighting on the front line of the battlefield against powerful foreign races.

How could a small Black Arrow Star and a small civil strife of the Gu family attract a group of Space Marines?

There weren’t really any Imperial traitors here!

Besides, even if there were Imperial traitors, they wouldn’t be able to attract Space Marines unless they rebelled to a certain extent!

Because of this, it was normal for them to not believe it at first and to have some hope.

According to what Gu Ming said to comfort himself, it was possible that his nephew had made it up by using some ordinary armor to pretend to be good.

But he himself did not believe it.

Then, reality completely shattered his luck: within a few minutes of landing, they had wiped out a sentinel mecha squad, defeated a large group of Luman troops, and also destroyed the artillery position of the Luman Corps.

Now, those fifteen people were coming towards them, and their target was the Knight Titan not far from them.

The troops tried their best to intercept them, but they just couldn’t stop them!

The two of them were completely panicked.
