Chapter 49: Gothic Star Landing
At a tragic cost, the Kijuku fleet led by Mihavich destroyed the flagship of the main fleet of the Dark Empire, severely damaged half of the combat power of the main fleet, and won the victory in the space battle!
The remaining Dark Empire fleet, seeing that the battle situation was not good, forced back the remnants of the Gothic fleet and the Milo support fleet after a wave of main artillery fire, and each took cover to retreat to the Goth.
With the pursuit of the Gothic Fleet and the Milo Fleet, the Dark Empire fleet was finally repulsed, and the victorious Wakijuku fleet joined forces.
"Beep~"
The commander of the Gothic fleet and the commander of the Milo fleet appear on the communication screen in front of Miha Vecchi.
"It turned out to be Lord Miha! Thank you for the rescue! "The commander of the Milo fleet expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you for your assistance! Sir Miha, is there only so many reinforcements in the Pleiades system? The Palace of the Ten Princes...... No, what about His Royal Highness the King of Muju? The commander of the Gothic fleet also expressed his gratitude, but then asked what he wanted to know most.
"That's all there is to the battleship, as for Your Highness...... He'll follow the Army's armored transports to the Gothic system! ”
Miha Vicky told a little lie.
"What? Your Highness wants to recapture Goths? ”
The fleet commander of the Gothic system was in disbelief.
"Ahem! After all, Gothic has not fallen, and the territory of the empire certainly cannot be abandoned! Miha Vich said categorically.
"Yes! The Heavenly Spirit Empire wins! "The commander of the Gothic fleet, of course, liked to hear this.
The space lanes to the Gothic system were completely opened, and the giant transport ships of the Jupitiad system, laden with army armor, began to leap into the Gothic system.
After some negotiation, the Gothic Fleet and the Milo Fleet joined the Wooden Fleet, forming a hybrid fleet of the Celestial Spirit Empire, and they are about to fight back to Gothic!
Mihavich was distinguished as the commander in chief of this mixed fleet, and he would lead the mixed fleet to support the Goths.
Li Zhong is now a captain in the armored unit of the Pleiades Army, under the command of Captain Cullen of the Royal Guard, and Li Zhong is in charge of a fully staffed mecha infantry company.
"! What a great deal for His Excellency Miha! With a weak force, he defeated the main fleet of the Dark Empire! ”
Li Zhong looked at the scene outside the porthole of the transport ship and sighed, all kinds of warship parts floating in space, Li Zhong could imagine that Miha Vicky fought a difficult space battle.
"Huh?" Li Zhong noticed that an unfamiliar communication appeared in his communication channel.
Li Zhong connected to this unknown communication, and two beings with the title of viscount of the Heavenly Spirit Empire appeared on Li Zhong's communication screen.
"Huh? Who are you! His Royal Highness the King of Kijuku! An Imperial Viscount asked.
"Ahh …… Yes! I am accompanied by His Highness, who is making the final mobilization with his army brothers, and I have no time to talk to you at the moment! ”
When Li Zhong saw these two imperial viscounts, he immediately knew that they were the commanders of the Gothic fleet and the Milo fleet, and quickly identified himself.
The commander of the Gothic fleet and the command room officer of the Milo fleet did not see His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, but only saw the prince accompanying them, and they felt that something was wrong in their hearts, but the identification code of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes was on the communication channel, and they were not good at suspicion, plus Li Zhong's identity code was indeed accompanied by His Royal Highness the Prince, so they had to believe that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes were indeed on the transport ship.
"What about Your Highness's Royal Fleet?" They asked the question again out of the blue.
"Ahem, ahem? That one...... That ......" Li Zhong is a little difficult to lie.
"The Royal 10th Fleet will be a key force to help us achieve victory!" Cullen, the captain of the royal guard, suddenly appears on the screen.
A lie will be fulfilled with countless lies, and Karen successfully helped Li Zhong hide from them.
"I see!" The commander of the Gothic fleet and the commander of the Milo fleet saw Karen, and they were convinced, and automatically made up the strategic plan of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes and agreed!
So the improvised mixed fleet of the Celestial Spirit Empire, under the command of General Miha, went to support the Goths!
Soon, the Celestial Spirit Mixed Fleet arrived on the Gothic Star, and they had a fierce duel with the Dark Empire's fleet, although the Musu Fleet was disabled in the previous battle, but the Gothic Fleet and the Milo Fleet still have nearly 30 space battleships, and a Djinn-class space aircraft carrier (although the damage is somewhat serious), Miha Vicch is confident that the army armored forces will be put into the Gothic Star!
Due to the three full-fledged main fleets invaded by the Dark Empire, only one of them attacked Goth, not to mention that this Dark Empire fleet has now lost half of its strength, while the other two fleets are consolidating the three life planets that have just been occupied.
Therefore, the Celestial Spirit Mixed Fleet seized this opportunity to storm the Dark Empire fleet hovering on Goth, and fought to bring all the space transports carrying army armored forces into the atmosphere of Goth.
Under the command of Miha Veitch, the hybrid hull successfully suppressed the Dark Empire fleet, and the transport ship successfully entered the Gothic atmosphere.
The severely damaged Djinn-class aircraft carrier released the few dozen remaining space fighters and began to carry out air strikes on the Dark Empire army forces that invaded Goth, and the cities that fell on Gothic became the primary target of the space fighter group.
The last remaining Djinn-class aircraft carrier of the Mixed Fleet hangs like a hive overhead in low-Earth orbit, spitting out space fighters responsible for ground attacks regardless of attrition.
The attack of these fighters quickly caused panic among the Dark Empire Army forces, and they began to shrink their lines and slow down the invasion of Goth.
Although the army units of the Dark Empire invaded Gothic Star built an airfield and carried army fighters, but the army fighters could not compete with the space fighters, although their air ceilings were not far apart, but taking off from the ground and diving from space were completely two different combat methods, in the air combat, the army fighters would always suffer, and the space aircraft carrier, as a mobile airport, could change its position at any time as the war situation needed.
Air superiority is always something that must be fought for in war, and the side without air superiority will face unlimited blows from the opponent, however, this air superiority of the Heavenly Spirit Mixed Fleet cannot be maintained for a long time, after all, the other two main fleets of the Dark Empire are in the Gothic system, so the fleet of the Dark Empire will soon get a signal for help and will soon be reinforced.
Now it's time to see the performance of the army armored forces supported by the Pleiades system, and they must strengthen the ground defense line of the Gothic planet!
The strategic plan formulated by Sildai is that the military headquarters of the Heavenly Spirit Empire will not give up the Gothic system, and Sildai is gambling!
As long as the local troops of the Gothic Star resist the attack of the Dark Empire, there is no reason for the military headquarters of the Heavenly Spirit Empire to give up the Gothic Star!
Therefore, the only army armored unit supported by the Pleiades system, with the forcible support of the Djinn-class aircraft carrier fighter group, landed in batches, and with the help of space carriers, began to land in the cities of the Gothic planet that had not yet fallen.
Li Zhong's 10th Army Division landed in Tiangong City, the largest industrial city on the Gothic planet.
Tiangong City is not only an industrial city, but also the administrative center of the Gothic, so Tiangong City cannot be captured!
The mecha company led by Li Zhong landed in a mountainous basin a hundred kilometers next to the 10th Division, where they would establish the largest forward base for the Heavenly Spirit Empire to land on the Gothic planet.
It also formed a horn with other army units to pull out a safe line of defense to provide support for the landing of subsequent army units.
The Dark Empire Army units attacking Tiangong City were fiercely offensive, and they had also built up perfect anti-aircraft firepower!
As a result, the giant transport ship carrying the troops of the Celestial Spirit Empire was forced to reland several hundred kilometers away from its destination several times.
General Mihavich seemed to be crazy, commanding the space carrier fighter group of the mixed fleet, launching attacks on the ground invasion forces of the Dark Empire again and again, and after nearly a century of hard fighting, the air defense force of the Dark Empire forces attacking Tiangong City was destroyed, but the aircraft carrier fighter group no longer had the strength to attack again.
Without the support of anti-aircraft weapons, the ground invasion forces of the Dark Empire have no strength to prevent the army units of the Celestial Spirit Empire from reaching the ground of Goth.
The landed Celestial Spirit Empire transport ship does not need to take off again, this high-tech space transport ship should actually be called a giant landing ship, they can all be transformed, and after arriving at the surface, they can easily become a giant fortress with defensive power.
The armored infantry company led by Li Zhong finally stepped on solid ground after a fearful landing, and although Li Zhong knew how to conduct a small company command after Cullen's training, Li Zhong's army reconnaissance company was dissatisfied with this airborne commander.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the reconnaissance company, he, the so-called commander, did not even know how to use the most basic infantry mecha, and they did not dare to hand over their lives to Li Zhong.
This can't be blamed on Li Zhong, although Cullen trained Li Zhong as a devil, but Cullen didn't tell Li Zhong how to fly a combat mech, if it weren't for the elf tree treasure who knew the basic operation of the combat mecha, Li Zhong wouldn't even know how to start the mecha.
In fact, the army combat mecha is actually power armor, not like the Mobile Gundam or Zagu in a certain anime.
It's not that the major forces in the universe haven't considered this kind of huge mecha, but because a mecha like Gundam is too bulky and too difficult to operate a system, the combat in space is not as delicate and agile as a fighter, and more importantly, the price of training a huge mecha pilot can train five excellent fighter pilots.
So the giant humanoid mecha or something is all! It's better to study more advanced and powerful warships and space fighters than to have this time, but there are still giant land mechs, but they are all tank-like evolutions.
It's a pity that Li Zhong's armored company is not equipped with such a powerful land mecha, and they must face the frantic attack of the Dark Empire's ground invasion forces.
Until the Musu Army Mecha Legion that landed on the Gothic Star established a complete line of defense!
