The attack begins,

This time, we have learned the previous lessons and no longer blindly advance, but have made preparations.

The nearby asteroid belt was directly blasted with firepower. The new radar is completely immune to small stealth fighters, and the enemy's ambush troops have nowhere to hide. As a result, the guerrilla warfare they are good at cannot be performed.

The Tadarin fleet was forced to come out and confront us head-on.

The commander-in-chief's plan succeeded. Once the distance is opened to fight head-on, forming a confrontation between firepower and armor, the enemy's small fighters are no match for the giant guns of our human federation ships.

The fighter planes imported by the Tadarin people at a high price were hit by dense barrages, exploding brilliant fireworks in the dark universe, and then turning into piles of waste fragments. Killed by bombing, freezing to death, or suffocating from lack of oxygen.

This feud has been simmering for too long, the radio is full of cheers, as if the World Cup has been won, as if we have won the whole battle.

The battleship Himalaya crossed the battlefield. This giant warship is not bulky but powerful. Together with friendly forces, it pursues the enemy's aircraft carrier formation.

The enemy ships lacked protection, and the 381mm cannon salvo easily penetrated the weak armor, and the carrier-based aircraft carried on it were killed together. Then the destroyer and the fast strike cruiser formation went to project the last wave of firepower, leaving no survivors.

It took only 14 hours for the enemy's main fleet to be wiped out. It was so cool, so exciting!

Through the porthole, you can see the horrors of the space battlefield,

This is the first time I have observed the appearance of the enemy at close range. Although the Tadarim people have a mediocre level of technology, they have a long history. They walk upright on two legs like humans, and they have a pair of flexible hands.
The only difference is that the bones are slender, the body is long and thin, there is no nose, the hair is colorful, and the body is covered with delicate and smooth blue skin.

A sniper in our company even thought that Tadarim women were more beautiful than human women. Everyone resented that he had really strong tastes. I don't know what this guy thinks.

There are also precedents of human colonists and Tadalin people getting rid of their differences and becoming lovers before.

The company commander scolded, what the hell, the obsessions of people on earth are really strange.

It takes a long time to clean up the wreckage on the battlefield. This is a time-consuming, laborious and extremely cumbersome task. To avoid the impact of these space junks on subsequent operations, you must clean up patiently.

Now I finally understand why the fleet is followed by a large group of junk businessmen, among them are many waste recycling companies run by aliens, all taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune from the war.

The speed of the Himalaya slowed down, we can observe the wreckage of the battlefield carefully,

Most of the enemy's ships were imported small fighter planes, mostly painted in white, and the few aircraft carriers were bought at high prices to park the fighter planes. The Tadarin people did not have the ability to manufacture warships.

This also shows that the Galactic Star Alliance seems to be in harmony with each other,

Those bastard aliens knew that the Terra Federation was at war with the Tadarim, but they still secretly sold them weapons,

It can be predicted that once human beings suffer a major setback and their strength declines, they are likely to be betrayed by the Star Alliance countries and devoured by corpses.

This is why the Human Terra Federation spared no effort to expand its territory. The best defense is always offense.

With more colonies, you can occupy more resources and reproduce more population,
The size of civilization has grown, and even if it fails, there is a retreat, and it can be regrouped and made a comeback.

There are only so many resources available in the galaxy, if you don't expand, the enemy will expand,

In the words of the speaker, if you don't kill him, he will kill you. This is not difficult to understand.

Most of the corpses of Tadarin pilots were bare-chested and tattooed with religious symbols of unknown meaning.
Reminds me of the mummies in the Martian pyramids, a typical medieval civilization.

They believe in the ancient gods of the universe, follow the ancient Tadarin teachings, are extremely stubborn and conservative, and their technological development has fallen behind a lot.

Except for weapons, they refuse any trade and cooperation in development. That's why they are listed as one of the unreasonable barbaric civilizations by the members of the Star Alliance and are not protected by the laws of interstellar warfare.

A frozen corpse crashed into the porthole, making the little man in our company jump up. The dead ghost has strange tattoos on his forehead,

The company commander called the tattooed Tadarin holy warriors, calling them cruel fools who refused to cooperate with humans because of their old beliefs.

I don't think so, these Tal'darin warriors are quite wise and respectable, their tactics seem stupid, but they are actually out of helplessness.

The asteroid belt they were hiding in was wiped out by firepower, and the stealth fighters could not hide their tracks in front of the new radar. In order to protect their home planet, they had no choice but to confront the powerful Federation fleet head-on.

I admire the courage of the holy warriors, they are noble barbarians.

In the following week, we won consecutive battles,

The air and space power of the Tadarin people was eroded, the outer orbital defense was broken, and the road to the parent star was suddenly opened.

Then came three days of indiscriminate bombing, sowing the seeds of death from the sky.

Battleship main guns, heavy missiles, high-power laser cannons, and gravity bombs take turns to destroy the strong fortress,
The aircraft carrier dispatched a cluster of stealth bombers to carry out carpet bombing on scattered targets,

Thousands of drones fly close to the ground, constantly detecting and destroying the enemy's trap mines, scanning potential underground fortifications, the enemy destroyed most of them with short-range anti-aircraft missiles, but it doesn't matter, these low-cost industrial products It was meant to be consumed.

Within three days, the Human Terra Federation Fleet poured [-] tons of ammunition, and the first batch of drones dispatched was almost completely destroyed.

Looking down from the outer orbit, the home planet of the Tadarines is burning. Not only the military facilities, but also the cities and farmlands have suffered blows to varying degrees.

Judging from the transmitted pictures, the planet's topography has been changed by artillery fire, the hills were blown into basins, the fertile plains were blown into swamps, and the sea water was evaporated by the heat to form large swaths of water vapor.

Enemy military installations have been severely hit as our drones and spy robots send back battle reports.

The fleet symbolically sent a robot mission to negotiate, and the Tadarim smashed these diplomat robots into a pile of scrap metal to show their determination to resist to the end.

This is completely expected. After all, in the dictionary of the Tadarin people, the word surrender is quite shameful, and it is unacceptable to die.

Ms. Lexeter, the wily commander-in-chief, thinks the time has come,
It's time to send an army to land on this planet,

Our company assembled urgently and began to accept combat deployment.

The task of the first wave of attack is to gain a foothold, deploy defenses, and open up landing sites for large landing ships.

The enemy is about to usher in the baptism of heavy armored paratroopers,

Death
Coming soon
Fall from the sky.
