Earth Invasion

Chapter 419 Schedule
Assyrian solar system, third planet Great Desolation, planetary shadows.

Dahuangxing is a terrestrial planet about the size of the Assyrian planet, but in terms of mass, this planet is only half lighter than the Assyrian planet, and there is no obvious magnetic field activity.It is judged that the core of this planet has cooled, that is to say, it is a dead planet.And in terms of distance, it is farther than Mars in the Earth's solar system, and the temperature is lower.Its ground temperature is below zero all year round, and even at noon at perihelion, its equatorial part is only a few degrees.This is a useless planet for earthlings.

The NATO expeditionary fleet has remained in the planetary shadow of the Great Waste since the departure of the Sirius.Unlike the Earth's solar system, Dahuang has a satellite that is about two-thirds the mass of the moon.In fact, judging from this mass and the mass of Dahuangxing, this should be a companion star.Astronomers are arguing over whether to name the object Havana or Havana.Therefore, there is no fixed name, and people often use the wild moon to describe this celestial body.

NATO's large fleet is hidden on the outer side of the Great Desolation Moon, in the shadow of the Great Desolation.In this place, unless special scouts are sent out, it is impossible for the spaceship that uses the deceleration or acceleration of the Great Wilderness to find them.

"Your Excellency, General!" A soldier on the NATO Expeditionary Fleet flagship Violence was slamming on the door of Ratcliffe's room.Unlike ordinary battleships, which only have one captain's room as a luxury room, capital ships often serve as the flagship of the fleet, so there are two captain-level luxury suites.And General Grant Ratcliffe has a strange problem. He always removes the pager from the bedroom door.As a result, if the soldiers wanted to find him, they could only bang on the door.

"What happened." The automatic door opened, and His Excellency the General was already dressed neatly, with meticulous neckline and cuffs.It's not in a fighting state now, so the battleship is full of air.And people are also wearing normal clothes instead of space suits.

"Your Excellency!" After saluting, the soldier took out an LED sheet.

After taking it and browsing it roughly, the general frowned tightly.Then he flew towards the bridge without saying a word.

There is nothing strange on that LED, there are only battle reports on the Assyrian planet.

In 2431, on February 2th, the Assyrian army, with tanks as the main force and UFP as the assault force, broke through the No. 25 defense line of Panttil, south of the diameter of Clover.The support point of the No. 239 campaign was breached first, and then the Panttil nuclear power plant was breached, with a loss of more than 6 tons of plutonium 26.At the same time, one of the fortress guns in the power plant was captured.The Assyrian army used fortress artillery to bombard the other two core support points. In the early morning of the [-]th, the entire Pantetil was wiped out.

On February 2, the Assyrian army used captured multi-legged chariots and a special unit composed of PA to attack the Bulong area north of Alzhgarlindau, completely disrupting the defense plan of the entire line of defense.The Assyrians took the opportunity to use the UFP equipped with the flight kit to quickly assault the Alchigarlindau garrison, and the entire Bron area was pocketed.

By March 2431, 3, the entire Burun region had fallen to the Assyrians.Now the Assyrian armored forces are confronting the security forces on the front line of Alzhiger Lindao.As expected, they are resting and resupplying.After their supplies are completed, continuing to attack is almost a certainty.

Of course, this is not the only bad news. On the night of February 2th, the second day after Pantetil was breached by the Assyrians, in the Blackfield area, the Assyrian independent forces assembled in the space circle set off from Shuilan , along the terrain all the way south, swept across the entire Blackfield area in two days.A mobile unit guarding the Urluk Mountains was instantly eaten up by the UFP unit of this unit.

On the third day, the forwards of the Space Force, which leapfrogged along the entire Blackfield area, had appeared on the outskirts of Cremos, an important town in the south of Blackfield.And it was this troop that came from afar that within half an hour wiped out all the UFPs and tanks of the security forces who fought beyond their means.

And the news came back that these UFP pilots are all veterans, and they use the latest GAT-27 model in the space circle.Among these pilots, at least one-third are ACE level.

On March [-], in the Blackfield area and the battle with the reinforcements from the General Reserve of the Security Forces, this speculation was also confirmed.Because in just one morning, the UFP loss of the general reserve team exceeded half a battalion!

Ratcliffe carefully watched the bad news on the bridge, his brows were tightly frowned, and he said nothing.And because of His Excellency the General's face, the entire bridge seemed to be filled with low air pressure, as if a storm was coming.

"General, is the matter very bad?" The captain of the Storm Shadow was a little uncomfortable with the oppressive atmosphere, so he could only bite the bullet and ask.

"If there is another telegram now, telling me that the Twilight City has been taken down, and our Governor has been paraded in the streets with feathers. Then the one I have now is not the worst."

The general sounded in a bad mood, after all, he rarely used such vicious words to describe his colleagues.

"Let's take a look." With that said, Ratcliffe pushed the LED sheet in his hand over.

After a quick glance, Mr. Captain's face looked like he had eaten a fly.

"Your Excellency, the order from the Joint Chiefs of Staff will come soon." The captain asked the general in a low voice after handing the LED to the soldier to put away.

"Hmph, George, you still think less." Ratcliffe left his seat and came to the huge porthole.

"Not just an order to force me to attack, but also a warning message from Secretary of the Navy Admiral Kim."

"General Jin?" The captain called George was taken aback. The old man must know the difficulties of General Ratcliffe, right?

"Yes, Mr Angry Minister knows about us, but politicians don't listen to that. Daddy won't stand the pressure either."

"so?"

"So, I guess in addition to the warning message, there is also a reinforcement plan."

General Ratcliffe guessed right. On the second day, the fleet received a quantum communication from Earth.

The newsletter said two things.

First, the Assyrian offensive must be contained before March [-], and at the same time cooperate with the ground army to drive the Assyrians away from Kircoin!At the same time, before March [-]th, they must launch an airborne operation to the Blackfield area, cooperate with the ground security forces to recover most of Blackfield, at least half of the area, and then negotiate with the people in the space circle.

Second, Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Admiral Husband Joseph King.The old man in the navy scolded him with all kinds of weird but unreliable words, and then at the end of the telegram, there were two lines of fine print.

"The reinforcement fleet with two God-class capital ships as the core has set sail in early February. According to the time, the fleet will arrive at your current location in early March. The commander of the reinforcement fleet is Woody Murphy."

General Ratcliffe laughed, very heartily.

"Look, the white-haired ghost is coming. Besides, we're going to have two more battleships."

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, I have to think carefully about how to play with the large fleet in the space circle.

They are all fleets. Whether it is at sea or in space, if the strength of the two sides and the level of equipment and technology are similar, the battle will rarely be one-sided.In all battles where there is a huge gap, there are nine out of ten that one side has made mistakes that should not have occurred at all.Like the Battle of Midway.In fact, it is normal for this kind of battle to be fought like the Coral Sea and Jutland.Once confronted head-on, the commander has little chance to show his strategy.

Therefore, if the strategy is to be used, it should be used before the battle to create a battlefield environment that is not suitable for confrontation.

"Gentlemen, what we have to do now is to put aside the orders conveyed by the joint meeting, and then think about how to defeat, cleanly defeat the big fleet in the space circle!"

At the war meeting, General Ratcliffe came up and said this.

Everyone couldn't help but have such an expression.

The two missions given by the joint meeting are both the idea of ​​attacking the ground from space.This idea is not bad, but if you want to ensure that you can play this idea well, you first need your own airborne and ground strike capabilities.Second, absolute orbital air supremacy is required. Don't be laying eggs, the opponent's warship is coming.

Therefore, when the large fleet in the space circle is still entrenched in the orbit of the moon, any continuous attack on the ground will be empty talk.And what everyone wants to discuss is how to defeat the large fleet in the space circle.

"You can't fight in lunar orbit." General Ratcliffe directly vetoed all the ideas of going to war in lunar orbit.

Everyone was very confused.If it is now, his fleet has only 9 cruisers, 16 destroyers and 21 frigates.However, the opponent has a complete destroyer detachment and frigate detachment, 18 ships and 27 ships respectively.If you fight head-on like this, you will suffer a loss. What's worse, the Assyrian fleet has 4 cruisers over there.Therefore, it is not a good time for a decisive battle, and everyone knows this.

But it's not the same thing after the reinforcement fleet arrives.If it is really a double battleship formation, then the reinforcements will have at least 4 cruisers and 10 destroyers in their hands.In this case, it will definitely overwhelm the coalition forces of the space circle and the Assyrians.Why is it allowed to fight in lunar orbit?

"Just comparing the strength of our two sides, we are indeed much stronger than each other, especially our capital ship has an absolute advantage."

"But, what I'm worried about is this thing!" As he said that, the general tapped the [-]D picture of the battleship raised in the center with his finger, causing a halo of laser light.

The things ordered by the general are very distinctive, and almost everyone knows them.

Because that thing has a huge hull with two triangles facing each other.

"Star Destroyer?" Everyone murmured, why did the commander include this thing?

"Isn't the SCO neutral?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"It is true that the SCO is neutral." Ratcliffe rolled his eyelids, "But, is the Star Destroyer Fomalhaut a ship of the SCO Solar System Navigating Fleet?"

Uh~ Everyone was stopped by the question.

If you get to the bottom of it, this Star Destroyer is really not from the SCO, but from the SCO Greater China Space Force.

However, is there any difference between the SCO and the SCO Greater China Sky Army?

"Remember! The SCO is just a loose federation. Although their economic ties are very close, their political views are not exactly the same. The SCO's attitude is neutral, but what about China?"

Everyone couldn't help but think about it.

"Your Excellency, do you think this Star Destroyer will go into battle? Isn't that impossible?"

"There is no possibility or impossibility. It is on this battlefield, and we will temporarily attribute it to the enemy's forces. After all, those Assyrians on the ground in Kirkoyn are using their equipment. .”

The person who asked nodded: "In that case, even if we are four capital ships, we are not suitable to face the space circle and the SCO coalition forces in lunar orbit."

"So." Ratcliffe thumped the table heavily, "We need to move the large fleet in the space circle! Let them go to the battlefield we have chosen for him!"
