Chapter 311 Occupation
: "No, General, that may not be possible. I suspect that the Reaper has other agents in the Milky Way. I'm afraid that others will arrive before your fleet arrives." Sister Xue surprised that she did not answer "Yes, sir" but suggested that she might not be able to do it.
: "What do you suggest?" Hackett frowned and asked. If even the best soldier in Star Alliance like Shepard said he couldn't do it, then he would like to hear the reasons and solutions.
: "The initial reconnaissance has been completed. In a while, I will lead a team to board the collector's warship before people from other forces arrive at this galaxy and collect as much intelligence as possible."
Sister Xue proposed her own plan. It seems that she is ready to play the most dangerous lonely army. But if you think about it carefully, she seems to be able to win every time she does this.
: "Just do it, I want to know where they came from, why they attacked you, and most importantly, whether they are really working for the Reapers
Also, as far as possible, we need their main gun technology to report to me immediately..." Hackett said the conclusion, he approved Sister Xue's plan and gave orders
: "Yes, sir." Shen Chao saluted with Sister Xue and replied that the other party's communication was immediately suspended, and Hackett went to arrange the fleet he promised to go.
After finishing the communication with Hackett, Shen Chao and Sister Xue returned to i. After comparing the latest information, they discussed the specific details of the action.
At the end just now, Hackett made it clear that at the same time, only one of them could board the Collector Battleship, and he could not afford the price of losing two ghosts.
So, who is the first team to land is the focus of the discussion at this time. After some competition, Sister Xue still earned the right to be the first to board the ship
Shen Chao didn't argue with her much. Although he really wanted to get some collector's weapons and equipment, he was not in a hurry to wait for Sister Xue to find out before going.
Half an hour later, Sister Xue's Marine Corps was ready to take two shuttles, and approached the collector warship under the protection of the fighter jets discharged by Shen Chao and successfully boarded the ship.
Shen Chao sent two squadrons of fighter planes carrying cracked torpedoes around the collector battleship, ready to bombard a hole in the fragile hull at any time to connect with the Marines inside.
After Sister Xue’s Marines boarded the ship, there seemed to be nothing wrong. Sister Xue and the others encountered no obstacles along the way, but when they entered the suspected main control room and started downloading each other’s data, the situation suddenly changed.
: "Radar targets, more than 40 thermal signals, and hundreds of unknown targets are showing thermal signals." Next to i, an officer from an electronic warfare group reported that he was monitoring data sent back by a group of detectors previously laid next to the collector warship
: "Come here." Shen Chao heard the order here and then, dozens of moving red dots suddenly appeared in an area inside the collector battleship on the hologram in front of him.
That is the marked heat signal source, which should be a team of collectors, and their location is outside the control room where Sister Xue and others are located
At the same time, many places in other places on the warships began to gradually reveal heat signals, obviously more individual collectors are being thawed
: "Commander, you have guests there..." Shen Chao tried to warn Sister Xue and the others through the communication channel, but he warned a little too late.
: "You also say we have already exchanged fire." Sister Xue's voice mixed with the sound of fire and explosion came. She was commanding the battle, but she also had the intention to describe the enemy they had just met to Chen Chao.
Chen Chao listened to her description and looked at the blurry image that had just been transmitted to confirm the situation. The enemy that Sister Xue and the others encountered was indeed the collector, and there was indeed a powerful inferior weapon.
According to Sister Xue's description, this weapon has a very good killing effect on their shields. If the opponent's level was not limited, their situation would probably be very dangerous.
: "How is the data collection?" Chen Chao asked about the other party's task execution. He believed that Sister Xue could definitely handle the situation in front of him.
: "Taly is in charge, so it should be almost done." Sister Xue said as she concentrated on commanding the battle again for only a minute, the first batch of enemies were wiped out.
: "How is it going now? Have you got the data?" Chen Qiao asked immediately after hearing the fire exchange over there.
: "I got it, how is the situation outside?" Sister Xue asked, and she naturally realized that the one she just killed would not be the only enemy
: "You can see it yourself." Chen Chao said and sent the scene of the hologram in front of him. There were hundreds of red dots indicating the enemy moving towards the control room.
:"**..." Sister Xue couldn't help but swear after seeing hundreds of approaching targets in the picture. In the battle just now, they had already experienced the fierce firepower of the enemy. Now there are hundreds more, no wonder she is in a bad mood.
In the next ten minutes, Sister Xue and the others fought against these collectors in the enemy ships and avoided the largest groups of enemies under Shen Chao's guidance, rushed to the evacuation point, and finally led the team to retreat safely.
At this time, there were more than 3,000 red dots on the hologram of the collector battleship in front of Shen Chao. It seems that the collectors were really hibernating before, and the number was larger than they had previously estimated.
: "How many enemies are there now?" Sister Xue threw down her helmet and asked. Her purpose just now was to collect intelligence and lead out the enemy, and estimate the specific number of enemies.
: "There are 3142 targets left now. You just killed 141 along the way..." Chen Chao said, adjusting the data to the most conspicuous position.
: "It's great, we might have to take it here for a month." Sister Xue said sarcastically when she saw this. Seeing this number of private enemies, even she had a headache. After all, she had personal experience.
The weapons in the collector's hands are much stronger than ordinary mass-effect guns. In the battle just now, the advanced shields on their bodies can only resist for a very short time and will be broken by them, which makes her very unhappy about the battle behind.
In the following two days, they organized several new raids, constantly creating new gaps on the collector warships, preparing for the support in a few days.
Chen Chao also led the team into the collector warship once, but he did not go deep into the intelligence, but to get some collector's weapons.
He led two teams of soldiers and several team members to conduct a brief exchange of fire with the collectors, and successfully obtained more than 50 collectors and fired the launcher after the age of the year.
After two days of taking turns to fight, Chen Chao and the others are already familiar with the characteristics of collectors, and have summarized some skills to deal with them, which has reduced the number of enemies on the collector battleship by one fifth.
And they finally confirmed one thing, that is, the collector's warship really has no secondary guns, only one inferior main gun that is not Chenli.
Therefore, after lying down, this warship had almost no defense against the incoming fighter jets and shuttles. Although it also had a small number of unmanned fighters, it could not threaten the Budapest.
During the period of being surrounded, the collector warship also tried to repair the damaged reactors and lines and ran away, but was stopped in time by the main guns of Budapest in time.
Every time the collector warship is charged, it will get a shot. Although it is not a vital point, it does not explode at least, but it accumulates and turns the collector warship into a hornet's hut's hull.
During this period, the collector warship once sent all unmanned fighters to harass Budapest, but under Shen Chao's cautious command, Budapest kept a distance, and these unmanned fighters were eliminated in batches by the deputy artillery department.
On the third day of guarding the Collectors battleship, their first support warship arrived. The Cairo heavy cruiser first arrived here and assumed the command responsibility. It was Anderson who was in charge of command!
It turns out that due to Sister Xue's popularity and Hackett's promotion, he is now also rising to a resident squadron of the Fifth Fleet.
This time, Hackett directly transferred a batch of warships to him to assist Shen Chao and the others in the work. Anderson. After arriving, Shen Chao had to go to Cairo with Sister Xue to discuss specific combat arrangements.
The damage in Normandy has been basically repaired. Although the hull is still very chaotic, the weapon system and ft can work and have recovered its basic combat power.
They spent several hours to formulate detailed combat plans, and Shen Chao also realized that his ability to command and combat plans was still far behind that of veterans like Anderson.
One day later, all the members of their support fleet arrived one after another, including cruisers and frigates, all of which belong to the First and Fifth Fleets of Star Alliance, with a total of nine battleships.
On the contrary, Sister Xue expected that there was no movement in other forces. It seems that the biggest force that the Reaper can instruct in the Milky Way is the collector. This also makes Shen Chao more confident in his next plan.
Back to the present, every warship that came to support received different orders and some captains thought they were here to carry out escort missions, and some received rescue missions and arrived at the scene. They all started the plan under Anderson's command.
First, the squadron drew up a group of fighter jets to carry out new close-range bombings on the collector warship and blasted out some new channels.
Then more than a hundred shuttles rushed into the designated position, deployed the first batch of Star Alliance Marines of the two battalions, followed by an uninnovative battle for warships.
Finally, after a total of 1,600 Marines were invested and after a full day of fierce fighting, they achieved the final victory and occupied the Collector Battleship
During this period, the landing Marines lost nearly 200 Marines. They could have used pulse bombs to clean up all the collectors on the ship at one time.
But doing so will likely destroy the important data and biological samples they need, so Anderson chose this most expensive method of occupation.
