After four hours of space battle, the Pegasus Navy achieved some results.
Although Falches' star port fortress is still standing, and even the shield has not been broken, there are many armed space stations that have either been blown up or taken over by the Marine Corps.
At this time, Gu Hang also received new information.
On the ground, the Phoenix warriors have achieved new results. They have captured all the anti-orbital firepower deployed in the planetary capital and its surrounding areas.
The capture operation itself is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the short time, the need to act quickly, and the punishment of troops.
In fact, Gu Hang gave them eight hours. However, under the command of Carduso, a century-old veteran, the Phoenix was finished in half the time with no casualties.
When the news was passed to Gu Hang, Gu Hang immediately asked the naval staff of the Tianma Fleet to evaluate the possibility of conducting the next phase of operations.
And these staff officers also quickly came up with the results. After all the anti-orbital and air defense systems at the landing site were cleared, the conditions for landing operations were initially met.
Gu Hang waved his hand and announced the start of the operation.
The cruiser Gu Hang was on, together with three destroyers and seven frigates, began to press forward quickly.
Their movements immediately attracted fierce firepower from the enemy. Especially the enemy's firepower center, the fortress starport, fired several rounds of the Wrath of the Faithful cannon. Due to the close distance, the hit rate skyrocketed, directly overloading the energy shield of a frigate. He was so frightened that he immediately retreated from the battlefield.
But at the same time, as the distance approaches, the starship's firepower can be more effective. The array of light spears on the Concerto made the void shield of Falches Starport tremble. During this process, hundreds of missiles were fired in salvo. When they arrived in front of the void shield, the missiles decelerated significantly. Although this gave the enemy a chance to intercept the missiles, it also allowed more than thirty missiles to pass through the void shield. , and eventually twenty of them exploded in the fortress.
Twenty S-class and mixed-class missiles would not be able to destroy the Starport Fortress with equally thick armor. However, a few shots with good luck hit the fire platform and hit the densely populated areas, causing considerable damage.
This forced Commander Faches in the fortress to pay all his attention to the approaching ships, and for a moment he had no time to think about anything else.
In the void, countless behemoths were fiercely fighting each other.
However, while the core firepower of the enemy's defense was being contained, another cruiser, the Violin, and several destroyers also moved forward. However, their target was to launch air strikes against multiple anti-orbital gun positions on the surface.
At the same time, there are seven or eight fast transport ships hiding in the array of these warships.
These transport ships, inIn a space naval battle, it will definitely have no effect. The responsibility they shoulder at this moment is to transport the landing troops.
Landing craft were launched from these transport ships and from the warships headed by the Violin.
A large number of armed space stations were destroyed or taken over, the starport fortress was contained, the anti-orbital firepower on the surface was suppressed, and the anti-orbital firepower in the capital area was simply cleared.
In this case, orbital landing becomes quite smooth.
The leading landing force was an army group within the 3rd Longying Army.
Three hundred landing craft rushed through the planet's orbit, broke through the atmosphere, and headed for the ground. Their goal is directly at the planet's capital.
In the process of falling, the very little firepower was able to destroy at most a dozen landing craft. This represented a loss of thousands of lives, but did not prevent the entire landing from being successful.
On the outskirts of the capital, ten phoenixes and a capital guard force of several thousand people loyal to the empire have opened a temporary landing site here.
Landing craft landed one after another, each carrying hundreds of Astra Militarum soldiers. Some landing craft were even equipped with heavy equipment such as tanks and cannons.
A total of 140,000 Astra Militarum soldiers completed their assembly at the landing site.
The leader of this force is Major General Cai Minjin of the Astra Militarum. The main force of this attack was the 314th Army of the Dragon Eagle Corps led by him. He himself took the risk and directly participated in the landing operation, and was among the first batch to land.
While the troops were still gathering, Cai Minjin stood on a high ground and looked at the capital city in front of him, full of hesitation.
"General." Someone shouted from below, "General, you'd better come down and pay attention to safety"
"Alas." Cai Minjin walked down the high ground with a sigh. Then he asked, "Has the vehicle that I asked you to prepare immediately been driven out of the landing ship?"
"It has been driven out." The adjutant said, "But please think twice. The troops still need you to lead them." "
Cai Minjin cursed, and then said, "Think twice, I need to think twice when I go back to my own city."
"This"
" Bring the car, let's go."
"Yes"
A moment later, three military vehicles headed towards the capital city.
Cai Minjin looked at the familiar and unfamiliar street scenes along the way, and it was difficult to describe his inner feelings.
He joined the Dragon Eagle Legion for only about ten years. Before that, he was a general in the Faches Defense Army and the commander of the capital's garrison. That year, he was ordered to reorganize the entire Capital Guard Army at that time and become part of the Astra Militarum. His identity also changed from General of the Defense Force to Major General of the Astra Militarum.
It’s hard to say whether this is a promotion or a demotion; whether he was entrusted with an important task and sent to the Astra Militarum to help FalchesThe regime controlled this force, but it was still treated as imperial tax and was handed over and distributed outside the core of power.
He only knew that his mood was very complicated at that time.
Since then, he has lost his previous status as a politician and became a pure soldier. There is no need to participate in any intrigues anymore, but life has become monotonous since then.
At that time, the last thing he thought about was that one day the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion would be pulled out of their home planet and join the war on another planet.
But this day came more unexpectedly than expected.
His first mission to leave his home planet and fight outside was to go to the Angry Owl Star to clear out the troublesome Blackbird Heavy Industry.
He didn’t think at first that this was a long-term mission. After arriving at Raging Star, he even made wild claims, hoping to gain command of the local army on Raging Star, launch a full-scale offensive, and quickly end the war, and then
he was slapped in the face.
It was there that he saw the capabilities of the Alliance army for the first time.
But that was just an episode in life. No matter what the process was, at least his mission was completed, the loss of the troops was not great, and the time spent was not very long.
Just when he thought he could finally return to his hometown, he was transferred directly from the Raging Owl Star to Koroga.
At that time, he still thought that this would be a short-term mission, similar to what happened on the Raging Owl Star, where he would just go to an imperial world to suppress rebellions and clean up cults.
But I didn’t expect that during this eight-year stay, the governor of Koroga would change three times.
However, the eight years he spent in Koruga made him no longer interested in participating in politics. The brutal war continued to escalate in front of him. In those years, all he could think about was how to win, how to complete the mission, and how to reduce the sacrifices of the young men under his command.
What impressed him particularly deeply was the famous battle to defend Yancheng.
A division is sent to the front line, fights for a few hours, and is gone.
Tens of thousands of people were just gone.
What he can do is to throw in divisions and regiments one after another, and then watch them be maimed and destroyed after a few hours.
After watching the battle reports, watching the battle lines, and witnessing those tragic scenes with my own eyes, Cai Minjin’s way of thinking was forever changed.
Those struggles for power and those conspiracies are meaningless in this kind of training of blood and fire.
At least to him, it makes no sense.
From the end of the war to now, the two years of guarding the nest and fighting security wars feel like a vacation compared to the tragic battlefield at the beginning.
Occasionally, he still thinks of his hometown and his life when he was the commander of the National Defense Forces.
There may be some nostalgia and contempt.
If possible, he does notHe doesn't feel disgusted to go home and see, especially since his wife and children are still on the Farches 1.
Although, he also has a local dignitary in Koruga who married him a daughter
Now, he has really returned to his hometown, but he did not expect it to be like this. way.
In the way of the empire's counter-rebellion, he returned to his hometown and the place he had guarded for half his life.
This is really unpredictable.
Looking out the car window at the street scene that should have been bustling but now deserted, countless messy thoughts passed through his mind.
But when the military vehicle drove into the military area station, all thoughts were gathered back again.
At some point, light rain fell from the sky. An officer from the Capital Guard was waiting in the rain.
The leader is Bobby Farches, a traitor. It should be said that he is a loyalist or a surrenderer.
Cai Minjin doesn’t know how to define it.
He got out of the car and shook hands with Bobby.
"Welcome back, old commander." Bobby seemed quite respectful. Cai Minjin was indeed his old boss.
Cai Minjin waved his hand, indicating not to say anything.
A group of people entered the office building of the military region.
Many people were already sitting in the Great Hall.
At least one of them is a school officer, the real leader of each unit.
Hearing the door of the auditorium being pushed open, they turned around and stared at Cai Minjin who strode in with complicated expressions.
Cai Minjin walked up to the podium without stopping and stood in front of everyone.
"Have all the chief officers at regiment level or above arrived?" Cai Minjin asked.
Bobby, who had just sat down in the front row, stood up and responded, "Everyone who is willing to come has come. There are still some."
Cai Minjin interrupted him, "I Give them only one hour to inform those who have not come, tell them that I have arrived, and there is still my Astral Legion outside the city, and let them think about it for themselves. After one hour, anyone who has not arrived will be regarded as a traitor. I will personally lead people to destroy them."
Looking at the strange expressions of the many officers in the audience, Cai Minjin added, "Yes, that's right, the ones who didn't come are the traitors."
< p>Bobby gave a few orders, and someone ran out.In the next few dozen minutes, people arrived one after another.
On time, Cai Minjin had someone close the door of the auditorium.
He announced to everyone present, "Now, all the loyal officers of the Capital Guard are here."
No one said anything, and he didn't take it seriously, and began to assign tasks.
There are a total of eleven regimental-level officers who did not come. The total number of troops under their command is about 20,000 to 30,000. Compared to the capital's one-million-strong garrison, they are an absolute minority. They are scattered and stationed in the capital city or surrounding areas.
Be presentEvery officer in the army was required to send out a battalion, led by these chief officers personally, to exterminate the troops who did not come. The veterans of the Astra Militarum gathered outside the city under Cai Minjin will also go, but they will not take action directly, but will serve as supervisors for the battle team.
The blood-stained certificate of surrender.
When assigning tasks, the atmosphere was very depressing.
Some people are sad, some are hesitant, and some are gnashing their teeth
In such an atmosphere, there are still people who can't help it.
“Old Commander, I don’t understand why this is happening. We are all our compatriots and comrades-in-arms. We are soldiers of Faches. We have served the Faches family for generations. When foreign enemies attack, shouldn’t we fight bravely? Are you resisting the enemy? You are here, you are taking us with you, how can you still?"
Bang.
A gunshot.
Cai Minjin did not give him a chance to finish his words.
Old General, your pistol is very accurate. The bullet was more than twenty meters away and separated by many people, but it still accurately blew off the head of the person who spoke.
This shot suddenly made the situation in the auditorium tense.
Although they were not allowed to carry guns when the opportunity arose, some people still quietly brought them and subconsciously put their hands on the holsters.
Cai Minjin noticed it, but he didn't care.
He sighed and slowly put down the gun. "I still remember him, Wang Zhongze. I used to lead soldiers. I remember that I personally awarded him a medal. When he got married, I also went there." I held his daughter at his wedding."
"I'm very heartbroken, and I really don't want him to be the one who jumps out."
"But, I am the Empire. General, I am also a Faqisi. I cannot watch someone say such words in front of me, inciting you to do something you shouldn't do."
"Don't mention anything else, just talk about this. . Do you think that I can resist the imperial army with you guys? Do you still think that the Dragon Eagle Legion is the Dragon Eagle Legion that was stationed on Falches? 20% of the people in the Legion are Korokans, and there are still others. Twenty percent, they got married and had children on Koroga. Minnick launched a rebellion. They are the most gritty. They just want to tear the traitors on Faches to pieces. What do you expect?"
"More Besides, even if the Dragon Eagle Legion is on this side, everything will be fine."
"I have seen with my own eyes what Commander Gu is capable of, and I have even seen the power of his elite warriors and knights. A. Even Titans, these things that you have never seen before, are abundant in the Alliance."
"Not to mention, the soldiers of the Alliance are more elite than the Astra Militarum. Knowing the selection criteria of the Astra Militarum, we always select the best warriors among us, but even so, the quality of the soldiers is not at the same level as the soldiers of the Alliance."
"He wants to use the law. On Chess, all the Planetary Defense Forces were swept away. It is not difficult."
"I applied to be the first to come down, and even came down under artillery fire. What do you think it is for?Isn't it just to protect you old subordinates?"
"Don't tell me anything about loyalty or disloyalty. You guys know what true loyalty is."
"Like Wang Zhongze Such people are not only traitors to the empire, but also traitors to the Faches. If you continue to be foolishly loyal to the Fachers family, the final result will be that you will be swept into the garbage dump along with the Fachers family. Not only will you die, but you will also become a sinner in history and be cast aside for thousands of years to come. , infamy for thousands of years, the Fachus will spurn you, the empire will spurn you, and the emperor will spurn you."
"Now, I have finished saying what I want to say, you can make up your own mind, I will be here alone. , there are not many trusted guards, if you want to attack me, take out your guns and shoot me to see if you are capable, can you kill an old guy like me here?"
No one spoke in the auditorium.
Those who had their hands on the holsters also let go.
After waiting for two minutes, no one was there. Action, Cai Minjin cursed, "No one wants to kill me with one shot, right? Then why are you still doing what you should do?"
In the security force of the capital of the planet Faches 1, The purges that took place were not very bloody.
The regiments that did not accept Cai Minjin's command were attacked by their colleagues. They did not hold out for long, and the soldiers' fighting will was very weak. Weak and unwilling to accept the orders of the officers, they quickly surrendered.
Most of the officers who resisted committed suicide or were executed after being caught.
Cai Minjin did not continue to toss in the capital area.
Although the entire capital police force was not completely convinced, at best it could only reluctantly obey the command, and its morale was quite low. Unification could not be achieved.
But he had no time.
Under his command, about 500,000 troops were mobilized from the capital police force. , together with the four Dragon Eagle Legion divisions he brought down, headed straight for Starport City.
This place is about 400 kilometers away from the capital area, and its location is right in the sky. Directly below the fortress starport where Taiwan and the Pegasus fleet fought fiercely was a city developed from the ground construction of the starport and built around the function of the starport.
The one from the Fachers family. Marshal of the Defense Force, he is there
After Petters issued the coalition government declaration, the marshal also urgently issued a declaration, angrily denounced Petters’ statement, and also urgently announced that he was the leader. The successor to the supreme power of the coalition government said that he wants to lead the people of Faqis to fight against the invaders.
However, let’s not say how many people buy it. Anyway, the current chaotic situation within the coalition government leaves him alone. It caused huge trouble.
The defense forces he mobilized in a short period of time gathered in Starport City. They originally planned to take back the capital area, but the surrounding defense forces responded.Responding to the call, the speed of gathering slowly increased.
The most critical thing is that all kinds of military supplies are not arriving fast enough.
In a short period of time, he was unable to launch a counterattack.
That's all. What's even worse is that when he was sweating profusely coordinating the teams from all sides, he actually rushed out a troop of hundreds of thousands from the capital area.
Not only did the defense forces in the capital area not resist, they even rebelled directly
This was something he did not expect
The defense lines did not even have time to be well arranged, and his troops It was a blow.
And this blow came so fiercely that the troops loyal to him could not resist it at all
Cai Minjin knew that the first battle could not be left to the newly conquered Capital Defense Force Come and fight, otherwise once you encounter a tough battle or suffer some setbacks, the already low morale will collapse immediately, and the troops will also doubt whether their own choice is correct.
So, in the first battle, he still used his old skills.
In addition to three large infantry divisions, the troops who landed with him on the ground also had an armored division. Needless to say, there are armored vehicles and Lion tanks in the armored division. The most important thing is that they also carry a Lion tank.
At the same time, the three Lion tanks in the Capital Defense Force were all purchased from arms outsourcing by the Faqis government, and he separately transferred them to his own tank crew.
The four Lion Kings, together with a group of Lion tanks, launched a fierce attack on Starport City.
Under the powerful armored force, the troops outside Starport City who were not prepared for defense at all collapsed after being beaten; inside Starport City, they were barely organized. A wave of street fighting defense, and relying on the quite good defensive firepower of the forts inside the Starport City, vaguely blocked the offensive of Cai Minjin's troops.
Even, due to some rash advances, a Lion tank was destroyed in the process of street fighting.
But at the critical moment, it was the Space Marines who stood up again.
Cai Minjin has no authority to command the Phoenix Space Marines, but Calduso, a century-old veteran, has an outstanding sense of war. He does not need anyone else to command him and can easily find the key to the current battle situation. place.
He personally led his company, under the cover of an assault by part of the Astra Militarum armored forces, deep into the rear of the enemy's army, capturing many forts, and destroying two enemy command posts and a Temporary ammunition depot.
After suffering critical injuries and witnessing the arrival of the Emperor's Death Angels, and that these Death Angels were indeed as heroic and invulnerable as the legends say, the defenders of Starport City collapsed.
If they were still half-convinced before that they had really become traitors to the Empire and were somewhat deceived by the political propaganda of the Fachers family, the arrival of the Space Marines destroyed all belief.
There are a few soldiers loyal to the Empire who can accept being enemies of the Emperor's Angels
Their morale has completely collapsed, and large-scale surrenders have begun.
Starport City was captured by the loyal Astra Militarum. The whole process did not take more than five hours. Although there is still sporadic resistance in some places, it is no longer detrimental to the overall situation.
The marshal of the defense force wanted to run away at the last moment, but in front of the phoenixes, he couldn't escape at all.
Captain Kalduso personally captured the heir to the highest power and the supreme commander who had just taken office for a few hours, and shot him in public.
