012, the front line

The front-line battlefield between the Empire and the Alliance was fierce from the start.

The more than 20,000 warships of the Galactic Alliance army were divided into three routes, like three sharp swords, and plunged directly into the front line defense area of the Eastern Region of the Star Luo Empire.

The Eastern Region of the Empire's frontline defense area is the military district of the Empire's Seventh Army, which is garrisoned by the Empire's Seventh Army. At present, the Star Luo Empire mainly has seven military regions, which are the first and second ...... The Sixth and Seventh Military Regions, of which the First Military Region is the Central Military Region, which is mainly responsible for the security of the Central Star Circle of the Empire, the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Military Regions are the four major regions of the east, west, south, and north respectively, and the Sixth and Seventh Military Regions are the Delta Military Region and the Eastern Region Frontline Military Region. Among them, the two most powerful military regions are the First Military Region and the Seventh Military Region on the front line of the Eastern Region, followed by the four major military regions of the east, west, north and south, and the Delta Military Region at the end.

The Seventh Army has more than 10,000 warships of various sizes, but transport ships account for nearly one-fifth, and only about 9,000 warships can really resist operations.

In the face of the fierce attack of more than 20,000 warships of the Galactic Alliance, the Seventh Army, which was responsible for the defense, was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and several outer space defense circles were quickly broken through by the alliance's fleet in just a few days.

The Alliance's attack was extremely swift, all the way like no man's land, breaking through the outer defensive circle of the front line of the Eastern Region of the Empire like a bamboo, and then directly attacking the inner defense line with a devastating force.

There are three inner defense lines, and they are also the last three defense lines arranged by the Seventh Army of the Empire on the front line, once broken by the alliance fleet, it is very likely to lead to the collapse of the front line defense of the Eastern Region, and the result is that the alliance fleet army can drive straight into the Eastern Region of the Empire. Trample the territory of the Empire.

After a continuous fierce battle, the Imperial Seventh Army barely stopped the rapid pace of the Alliance Fleet's large army, but the Seventh Army paid a huge price for it.

In the fierce battle, at least more than 100 warships of the Seventh Army were destroyed every day, and tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 imperial soldiers were killed, and in the end, in less than 20 days of frantic fighting, nearly one-fifth of the warships turned into fragments in space, and nearly one-fifth of the warships suffered varying degrees of damage, and many of them even withdrew directly from the battlefield and had to be repaired before they could rejoin the battle. In addition, along with the fall of the warship, the Imperial soldiers also suffered a large number of casualties. The death toll alone is more than half a million. And there were four or five hundred thousand wounded, and the battle situation can be described as tragic.

On the first line of defense in the inner layer of the front line of the Eastern Region of the Empire, the Seventh Army and the alliance continued to fight fiercely for more than ten days, and finally had to choose to give up due to huge attrition and the inability to replenish military supplies in time in the rear. Retreated to the second line of defense in the inner layer. And the two small man-made meteorite planets on the first line of defense also fell into the hands of the alliance army. Although when he exited, he had blown up everything that should have been destroyed. However, with the strength of the Galaxy Alliance, it should be able to be rebuilt quickly, and it is very likely to be used as a new stronghold.

Compared to the Seventh Army. The losses of the alliance warships were also not small, although they were not as heavy as the Seventh Legion of the Empire, but they were also affected a lot, more than a thousand warships were destroyed, nearly two thousand warships suffered varying degrees of damage, and the number of casualties among the soldiers was also hundreds of thousands, and everything happened in less than twenty days of fighting.

After the Empire's Seventh Army retreated to the second line of defense, the Galactic Alliance's army only adjusted slightly, and once again pounced on the second line of defense in the empire's inner layer like a beast, and once again launched a fierce battle with the Seventh Army.

The battle of the second line of defense was no weaker than the battle of the first line of defense, and the Seventh Army of the Empire put almost all of its strength into the battle of the second line of defense, in addition to the mobile defense of the battleships, it also built a large number of defensive facilities in the hope of withstanding the ferocious attack of the Alliance army.

The fierce battle continued, and violent explosions like fireworks could be seen in space almost at any time near the second line of defense, and a large number of warplanes and warships were turned into debris in space almost every day.

After just a few days of fierce fighting, the Seventh Army seemed to be a little stretched, on the one hand, because its own strength was much weaker than that of the alliance army, and on the other hand, due to the huge attrition of the battle, the rear armaments, materials and support could not keep up with the speed of combat attrition. If the original several important military logistics supply centers had not been attacked by the Alliance, they could have been at a stalemate for a few more, but now in the face of the fierce attack of the Alliance army, they also have a great sense of powerlessness.

Soon, there were many gaps in the second line of defense, and many alliance warships had begun to infiltrate the interior of the defense line, and quickly gathered to sweep the imperial power of the second line of defense.

The Seventh Army pressed almost all of its strength on the second line of defense, and in the face of the frontal attack of the alliance army and the sneak attack and sweep on the flank, it can be said that it suffered heavy losses, almost half of the strength of the force was consumed in the battle of the second line of defense, and in the end, there were only more than 2,000 intact warships left, and more than 100,000 imperial soldiers were killed or wounded.

However, the great sacrifice of the Seventh Army also made a great contribution to the Empire, on the one hand, they successfully disintegrated the attempt of the Alliance Army to break through the defense line of the Eastern Region and penetrate deep into the Eastern Region of the Empire, and consumed a lot of the military strength of the Alliance Army, on the other hand, the Seventh Army bought the Empire almost a month to deploy troops.

Just when the Seventh Army was in danger, more than 6,000 warships assembled by the Second Army of the Eastern Region from the Second Military Region of the Reich finally rushed to the front-line defense area and successfully rescued the Seventh Group District, which was almost surrounded by the Allied forces.

In the process of rescuing, the Second Army and the Seventh Army also formed a successful cooperation, defeating a fleet group of more than 2,000 warships of the Alliance, and successfully destroying more than 1,000 enemy warships, while only losing a few dozen warships, which was the first great victory since the war between the Empire and the Alliance. Although the impact of more than 1,000 warships on the alliance army was not very great, it was a big blow, and more importantly, it greatly boosted the morale of the front-line soldiers, and also inspired the millions of people in the empire.

After that, the remnants of the Second Army and the Seventh Army retreated to the third line of defense in the inner layer, the rearmost line of defense in the front defense area of the Eastern Region.

After the alliance army successfully broke through the second line of defense, the offensive momentum immediately slowed down by half, and there was no rush to launch a fierce attack on the empire's last line of defense, just a few small attacks, which basically did not pose any threat to the third line of defense.

In fact, after more than a month of fierce fighting, the army of the alliance fleet has already shown a trend of fatigue, and there are many losses of warships, which can be regarded as a broken nerve, and it is likely to backfire if it continues to reluctantly launch a strong attack. In addition, the third line of defense of the Star Luo Empire has more than 6,000 warships of the Second Group Army and subsequent sporadic support, plus the remnants of the Seventh Group Academy, the total number of warships is almost close to 10,000. And the alliance army has less than 20,000 warships that can fight normally after continuous operations, although he still has a certain advantage in numbers, but after all, this is fighting in the star region of the Star Luo Empire, and the Star Luo Empire is the defending side, and a large number of defense facilities can be built, don't underestimate these defense facilities, as long as they are used properly, they are completely comparable to warships, or even more powerful. In this way, the defensive superiority of the Star Luo Empire can completely offset the numerical superiority of the alliance army, and if it is forced to launch a large-scale attack, it will be difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat, and it is likely to cause a large number of casualties.

As a result, after more than a month of fierce fighting, the empire and the alliance seem to have entered a stalemate, but the two sides still maintain a state of saber rattling, although there are no large-scale attacks, there are some small-scale wars, even medium-scale battles almost every day.

Far behind the front lines of the Reich people did not pay the slightest attention to the stalemate of the war, they already maintained a high level of attention to the battle between the Reich and the Alliance on a daily basis, and their daily topics were basically related to the war.

The ratings of the official television news channels of the Imperial Government have left behind all kinds of entertainment channels in a rare way, and they have remained so for more than a month. The news channel has opened a special column on the war situation, which will not only announce the latest situation on the front line as soon as possible, but also open an interactive session with the public, where professionals from all walks of life will answer all kinds of relevant questions from the public. In addition, the official website of the government has skyrocketed at a terrifying rate almost every day since Parliament Speaker Huang Yunshan announced that the empire has entered a state of war, and it has become one of the most popular websites in the empire at present.

Fang Shi's life doesn't seem to have much impact, the Phantom 003 mecha in Laboratory 2 is still continuing to research and develop, the training in the machine combat simulation room is also going on every day, and the learning of knowledge is also constantly absorbing after dinner, but he will also actively pay attention to all aspects of the war every day like most of the people of the empire.

During this period, Fang Shi also had a lot of worries and surprises, especially when he heard that the fighting situation on the front line in the Eastern Region continued to be fierce. Unexpectedly, in just one month, the Seventh Army lost more than 6,000 warships, and the number of casualties reached a terrifying 3 million. In his opinion, this is definitely an extremely terrifying number, and such data means that there are more than 100,000 casualties on the front line almost every day, and what he is worried about is those friends on the front line in the Eastern Region, Ye Xiangyi, Fifth Little History, Su Shier......
