Him and their stars

In the tenth tenth minute after the orbital bombing began, the "mirror farmland" spread out over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, which looked like a gorgeous silver mirror from space, has now turned into a hot and terrifying fiery red.

Explosions continued to form shock waves rising in the heat, like a whirlpool on a sea of ​​fire.

As a result, the energy array factory that the Galactic Empire spent a lot of money to build was reduced to nothing in the flickering whirlpool of flames. Also devoured, maybe the dreams of the Cathay people?

Yes, if the war is victorious, these factories built on the territory of the Kingdom of Cathay may really become the wealth of the Kingdom of Cathay, right?

But now, dreams, wealth and future, all of the above have been reduced to nothing in the destruction that fell from the sky.

"...The endless sea of ​​lava and fire under the Yongye Palace is nothing more than this." Luo Zeshi said quietly.

Yu Lian glanced at the adjutant in surprise: "You also play "Gaboria OL"?"

Luo Zeshi smiled and said: "I don't have time to play games, but I still took the time to watch two of the themed movies. After all, it is also the most influential online game in the entire galaxy. It is impossible not to receive all the information. At least I still understand some. Set.”

At this time, the light of the explosion continued to bloom on the surface of the Blood Gate-4 planet. These powers representing ultimate destruction have gradually expanded beyond the energy array factory.

The first thing to be overturned was probably an arsenal. The finished ammunition and other weapons in the factory were directly detonated, once again forming a pillar of light that shot thousands of meters into the sky. In the dazzling bright light, there were faint lights of various colors flickering, colorful and unpredictable.

Probably because the atmosphere of Planet 4 is very thin, the sky has always shown colors that are almost the same as those at night, which feels a bit like holiday fireworks.

However, this gorgeous explosion was only the first explosion. Before the Dawn Squadron's backies launched the second round of bombing, the continuous explosions were like triggered dominoes, rising up in the arsenal area. All the way back to the energy factory, all the way to the nearby surface dock.

As a result, the "endless sea of ​​lava and fire" on this planet began to expand horribly again and again, as if a group of demonic armies from hell had really arrived in this world.

What was subsequently destroyed was the more peripheral barracks area. Their armored domes were naturally defenseless against the tiger and leopard cavalry descending from the sky, as if their turtle shells had been ripped off by hawks and sparrows from the sky.

The barracks on the Blood Gate-4 galaxy are not small in size. In addition to the barracks, there are also fully equipped training grounds and rest areas, as well as professional hangars for various armored vehicles, etc. It was originally possible to make a reservation For use by an army of millions.

Now, more than 200,000 marine troops affiliated with the Three Kingdoms United Fleet are also stationed in the barracks area. They were all taught by imperial instructors, and their equipment was uniformly ordered from the empire. Their combat effectiveness was not weak. At least, on the most intense battlefield, it can be used to cooperate with the Imperial Grenadier's charge. If it doesn't work, it can still fill the line.

However, these well-trained Marines were shattered to pieces in the bombing before they had time to show the success of their training. Afterwards, statistics showed that there were no survivors.

The high-flying pilots had no discomfort at all as they were killing a large number of people. They were just resolutely obeying the orders of a certain commander and razing all visible military targets and factories to the ground.

Half an hour after the bombing began, 99% of the man-made structures on the planet's surface were struggling and destroyed in the sea of ​​fire. Also devoured by the sea of ​​flames were 200,000 Marines and perhaps an equal number of technicians.

In addition, countless rugged and towering mountains, and even most of the plateaus, were melted by the energy of antimatter bombs, leaving only a large sea of ​​boiling sand, which is full of archaeological significance at first glance. sense of mystery.

...Yu Lian now knows why Xiao Hui didn't let him bomb the surface with anti-matter bombs. However, let’s talk about it. Wouldn’t it be possible to achieve the same effect by increasing the dose of three-phase ammunition? What's more, anti-matter bombs have no radiation, no pollution, no pollution, how clean they are!

Of course, it's not like there are no survivors at all.

For example, there are several dome towns located on the edge of the highlands. These are probably recreation areas for the planet's garrison and workers. There should be a certain number of civilians. They immediately put up a white flag on the transparent material on the dome, and finally they were not visited by the tigers and leopards.

In addition, there is a large tower-like building about more than 100 meters high, which is outside the plateau that was hit and bombed, more than 2,000 kilometers away from the energy array that has been reduced to nothing, and hidden in a valley.

Yu Lian controlled the steering wheel and let Dawn Dragon 1 begin to descend.

"That's the administrative center tower of Blood Gate No. 4." Luo Zeshi said: "The Sky Survey Eye has explored it before, and there are a lot of signal sources and communication fluctuations here."

"That is to say, there may be some important information about the Kingdom of Cathay and even the empire at the terminal there."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Luo Zeshi pondered for a moment: "However, if it were me, I would have started destroying the data when Dawn Squadron started bombing. I thought that the empire made such a low-level mistake Not likely."

"But the people who manage it are the Catai people." Yu Lian pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Very good, let the fleet prepare for the airborne landing of the Marines. I need at least one regiment to be airborne at the central tower in ten minutes. . Colonel Walter, ask the Fuxi to drop your heraldic machine as well."

"clear."

At this time, Fuxi was also rapidly advancing into the orbit of Planet No. 4, and Luo Zeshi quickly sent Yu Lian's order. The loyal dreadnought quickly responded, stating that Brigadier Zuo Wanhu's troops had long been hungry and thirsty, and that he would personally lead the two regiments in an orbital airdrop. Not to mention ten minutes, but at most three minutes.

Yu Lian was very satisfied. He looked at the instrument, which showed that the current height from the ground was only 15,000 meters, so he handed control of the ship to Luo Zeshi, and then directly opened the door of the cabin.

Before Luo Zeshi and the other friends on the ship could react, Yu Lian, who was only wearing an anti-Dutch suit and a helmet, jumped out of the cabin with a leap of faith, and rushed towards the ship like a fort. A towering central tower.

There was a momentary loss of pressure in the cabin, but the door was quickly closed again, and the airflow quickly stabilized. However, in addition to the stability, there was also a brief silence in the cabin, which seemed quite strange and depressing.

After a while, Luo Zeshi finally couldn't help but let out a sigh, and said helplessly: "It's such a disgusting feeling... I feel that if I continue to get along with this kind of officer, I will definitely get stomach problems before I am thirty. of."

"I understand. Being an adjutant to a general is a hard job, especially when the general is a psyker with extremely high mobility." Colonel Mina Walter comforted her.

"That's all, Commander Walter, you should prepare for action. Please ask the Fuxi to launch your heraldic machine to these coordinates, and I will land immediately."

On the other side of the West End Galaxy, the United Fleet has of course received news of the attack on its own headquarters. But at almost the same moment, they also suddenly discovered that they had no way to connect with higher-ups.

By this time, unity of command no longer existed.

However, the people on earth will not cease fire gracefully just because they have lost unified command.

Some started to cringe. Especially the battleship crews on the front line of fire. Facing the sudden intensification of fierce artillery fire from the outer ring fleet, they were already under tremendous pressure and their morale reached its limit.

At this time, any bad news may become the last straw.

Of course, there are also some simple and strong squadron officers and captains who want to continue to resist. However, the combined fleet could not reach a consensus on whether to firmly hold the line and defeat the main force of the outer ring fleet in front of them, or to turn around and return to support the Blood Gate.

Disagreement in thought will lead to disunity in action, which will naturally lead to chaos in the entire formation.

However, when the two sides spread out their positions for a fleet battle, even a small-scale chaos can be enough to cause a series of bad chain reactions. Such a flaw is absolutely fatal.

General Joseph Bonaparte was also an experienced general, and of course he could not miss this opportunity. This time, he went against the simple and dull approach of playing it safe beforehand, and directly launched the most violent counterattack.

Four Independence-class ships and three Fuxi-class ships, plus all the battlecruisers, began to concentrate their artillery fire on the chaos of the combined fleet as they advanced, and soon opened a huge gap in the opponent's tight front.

The high-speed battleships of the outer ring fleet began to charge. Assault ships and fighter planes poured directly into this gap, advancing like warriors trapped in a battle regardless of life or death. Immediately afterwards, came the main fleet composed of seven dreadnoughts. The beams and missiles left a fleeting reflection on the battleship's armored mirror, bright yet deadly.

This time, it took them less than an hour to intercept the combined fleet, and the division and encirclement was completed.

This violent attack like a storm finally completely crushed the morale of the combined fleet. Without the unified command and the supervision of the imperial fleet, the coalition warships began to flee.

Some ships were only slightly damaged, but after barely escaping for tens of thousands of kilometers, they simply turned off their engines and allowed their warships to float aimlessly in the void, as if they were lying flat and ready to be laughed at.

"The battle has reached this point. We have lost 30% of the warships and more than 40% of the soldiers. It is worthy of His Majesty the Emperor in Longlin Palace."

"That's right, this war is nothing more than a civil war between human masters. Are we all working for the empire's bosses? Friendships are over when we stand on the street, why do we have to risk our lives?"

"We have tried our best! Isn't 40% of the casualties considered desperate? Even if the God of War Sur comes, even if the spirit of the universe is there, it still makes sense."

What they say makes sense. The war has reached this point. If the Cathay people may still have some passion for defending their country, the Enbu and Angmansi people have no responsibility for the safety of the Blood Gate. After all, they were just the Imperial Army's friendly troops standing on the streets, and their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor was far inferior to the military pay, food, and their own lives.

At this point, even the most demanding commander can't ask for more.

As a result, organized surrenders began to appear on the battlefield of the West End Galaxy. Of course, the battle did not end immediately. Mainly three Cathay corona-class dreadnoughts, which showed a posture that they would rather die than surrender and then cover the retreat of the remaining friendly forces.

In such an era of strong defense and weak attack, if a big ship like the dreadnought is really determined to survive, its survivability can really increase exponentially.

But where can their friendly ships escape to now? After defeating the West Tail Galaxy, they still have to pass through the Blood Gate. And there, there are 60 hungry Beiwei, and more than 100 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that have just completed reloading from the aircraft carrier.

The panicked defeated soldiers soon realized that they were like prey driven into a trap by a hunter. No matter how hard they struggled, they would face a desperate future.

This battle was officially declared over when one of the three broken-off Corona-class dreadnoughts was sunk and two surrendered and captured. Facts have proved that although the Catai cats claim to be a resolute and fearless fighting race, they are actually very aware of current affairs.

Of course, that was already 16:28 on September 3.

Before that, most of the ships in the Outer Rim Fleet had followed the defeated troops as they jumped into the Blood Gate and began to painstakingly begin the demolition work.

As for Admiral Joseph Bonaparte, when he arrived in the Bloodgate Galaxy, it was already time for all the fortresses and orbital docks in the starry sky to be demolished. When the dreadnought Republic he was riding on just left the jump orbit, he saw Beiwei on a battle patrol.

To be precise, it was an Enbu-class battlecruiser. Its body was riddled with holes and scars. It looked like it had been withdrawn from the battlefield of the West End Galaxy. It was soon attacked by two ships whose mass was less than a thousandth of its own. One of the torpedoes fired from the boat hit.

This giant ship, which was more than 20,000 meters long, exploded on the spot only 10,000 kilometers away from the Republic, and then broke into three pieces.

"What a new weapon that subverts the times! Our outer fleet also needs this kind of warship. Mr. Qi calls them lightning strike ships, right?" Admiral Joseph Bonaparte said to Chief of Staff Li Ren.

"Currently, the companies that can produce this kind of lightning strike ship include New Shenzhou Shipyard, New Sevilla Captain and New Yumen Shipyard. However, the technical requirements for this kind of warship should not be too high, as long as the production authorization can be obtained. Most captains They should all be able to be built," Chief of Staff Li Ren said.

But in fact, whether it is Hubaoqi or Beiwei, the construction of the hull itself is certainly not difficult. The difficulty actually lies in the space bubble generator. After all, Chief of Staff Li Ren is not a scientist or engineer, so it is not surprising that such a misunderstanding would occur.

The chief of staff added: "The lightning strike ships here are already part of the troops in the outer ring war zone. If we really want to use new ships, we will definitely add the direction of the central war zone as soon as possible."

"Indeed. I have heard that the structure of the First Fleet has been rebuilt. Although there is not even a ship yet, the headquarters, staff department, and logistics department have been set up first. Ferragut The general has concurrently served as the admiral of the First Fleet and the commander-in-chief of the local theater. It is said that he will receive the marshal's scepter soon!" Commander Bonaparte twitched the corners of his mouth in a nonchalant manner.

"There are as many positions as there are positions. What I'm worried about is that when the First Fleet is rebuilt, warships will be pulled directly from us." Chief of Staff Li Ren said.

"This is wartime. I will kill anyone who dares to do this...I mean Marshal Paris will definitely kill anyone!" Admiral Bonaparte showed his domineering attitude.
