In the outer space of the planet Solomy in the new Miami star sector, an unusually fierce air battle is going on.

The laser energy beams fired from the main guns of the battle cruisers weave into a dense and spectacular and dazzling network of firepower. One after another, the battlecruisers were hit and exploded one after another in the firepower network, and one after another, compared to the ghost escort fighters like ants of the battleships, shuttled through the middle of the firepower network desperately, tried their best to get close to the enemy's main battleships, fired missiles one after another, and bombarded all the vital parts of the enemy ships with airborne laser artillery. The destroyed warships and warplanes bloomed in space with splendid flowers symbolizing death, and countless soldiers were either gasified by the powerful firepower along with the fighters, or were thrown into space and became space human garbage.

"The 10th and 14th fleets will bypass me and outflank and cut off the rear of the enemy battleship group! The 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th detachments were outflanked on both flanks, and the rest of the detachments were full of firepower, and they all pressed me up! In the command center of the battleship bridge numbered 057001, a middle-aged general with three gold stars on his shoulders roared at his subordinates with red eyes: "Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, less than a hundred old Sea Domination-class battleships can block Lao Tzu's Seventh Fleet!" ”

This three-star admiral is Admiral Gauss, the supreme commander of the 7th Space Fleet in the 5th Theater. After the Miami Star District abruptly declared independence on October 18, the Federal Civil War officially began. The Fifth Theater, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly dispatched the Seventh Space Fleet into the star region, intending to control the air supremacy in space in advance so that the subsequent expeditionary counterinsurgency could carry out landing operations.

However, when the vanguard of the Seventh Space Fleet arrived near the planet Solomi, they were suddenly ambushed by a group of rebel battleships hiding in a meteorite field. After a bloody battle, only two scarred battleships of the vanguard team escaped, and Admiral Gauss was so angry that he ordered to use the nuclear energy main guns on the battleships to smash all the meteorite planets on the periphery of Solomi.

The rebel Space Fleet was then forced into a head-on encounter with the Seventh Fleet. What surprised ** was that the rebels, who had less than a hundred old battlecruisers of the Sea Domination class, actually repelled the frontal attacks of the Seventh Fleet composed of all Behemoth-class battleships one after another through clever cooperation, and the old Gauss was even more furious.

"The rebel fleet has begun to retreat!" An officer in charge of the radar system in the command center shouted excitedly.

"Good! Order the whole army to press quickly, and be sure to take out these doggy battleships outside the atmosphere! Hearing the report from his subordinates, old Gauss felt a bad breath.

However, within ten minutes, the tide of battle changed again. The rebels' ground railguns, hidden in the atmosphere, suddenly fired, instantly catching the pursuing Seventh Fleet by surprise.

"Damn it, bombard these railguns with Yamato for Lao Tzu!" Seeing the heavy casualties of the fleet, Old Gauss was once again provoked, and ordered in a rage.

"General, the use of the Yamato cannon at this time will make our warships unable to move and return fire in a short period of time, and can only rely on fighters for cover. In this way, the rebel fleet will be given a chance to breathe, and even allow them to use this gap to counterattack or retreat. Please think twice! A colonel staff officer dissuaded old Gauss's embarrassed face.

The Yamato cannon equipped on the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, although it was extremely powerful, had a fatal flaw. The firing principle of the Yamato cannon is to use a strong electromagnetic field to concentrate the energy of a nuclear explosion into a beam of energy and launch it. Its prodigious power is enough to flatten a small city in one shot. However, the fatal flaw of the Yamato cannon is its huge energy demand, once the Yamato cannon system is activated, it will consume nearly 70% of the energy of the entire battleship. In other words, when the Yamato cannon was fired, except for the basic power protection system and the fighter ejection recovery system, the rest of the battleship's weapon systems could not be used normally. And once the Yamato cannon is fired, it will take at least ten minutes for the battleship to return to a state of full energy. Ten minutes is enough to change the entire battle situation in a rapidly changing battlefield.

"Damn it!" Old Gauss gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the podium. As the supreme commander of the fleet, he naturally also knew the shortcomings of his battleship Yamato. Since the outbreak of the battle, because of the fierce battle, most of the battleships have consumed energy very quickly, and there are very few battleships with enough energy to launch the Yamato cannon, and it is difficult to say that these battleships will be intercepted by enemy warships and fighters if they want to close to the atmosphere to launch the Yamato cannon.

"Send a message to the rear headquarters that our fleet has suffered heavy casualties due to the heavy ground fire on the planet Solomi. Therefore, I request the headquarters to order the follow-up landing force to carry out the landing operation in advance, so as to pull out the ground fire stronghold that threatens our fleet and cover the action of our fleet to encircle and suppress the rebel fleet! Old Gauss blushed and groaned for a moment, and finally reluctantly ordered the staff officer beside him.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the planet Solomi, a huge fleet of thousands of large transport ships is slowly advancing. In the front and rear of this fleet, a small detachment of battle cruisers served as escorts. These densely packed transport ships were carrying the ground combat units of the five Army Group groups in the Fifth Theater.

The so-called near-earth combat units refer to the units that fight between the ground and the planet's atmosphere, including marine divisions equipped with various types of combat vehicles and mechs, as well as air assault divisions with various types of fighters suitable for intra-atmosphere operations, such as banshees and Vikings. Although with the birth of space warships, the tentacles of human warfare have extended into space. But even human space warships, no matter how powerful, cannot compete with the entire planet. To determine the final outcome of the war within humanity, it is necessary to rely on close combat forces to destroy or force the enemy to surrender.

Therefore, in the federal army, the near-ground combat force still occupies the position of the main force, and the space fleet is used to compete for air supremacy in space and cover the operation with the near-earth force. The entire Fifth Theater has a total of 4 space fleets and 20 close-ground combat group armies under its jurisdiction. According to the establishment of the federal army, each army group has four combat armies, and each army has three marine divisions and a varying number of armored divisions, air assault divisions, or mixed special operations divisions.

In order to quell the rebellion in the new Miami Star Zone, the Fifth Theater sent an expeditionary force consisting of the 7th Space Fleet and the 19th, 37th, 89th, and 115th Army Groups. Because the Fifth Theater had already prepared, as soon as the war broke out, it took less than two days for the expeditionary force troops to complete the assembly and go straight to Star Solomi, the capital of the Miami Star District.

On a transport ship in this huge fleet, Hao Yi was boredly playing with the lighter in his hand. Beside him, on the left hand side is Hu Erpang, who is tilting his head and sleeping in his usual posture, and on the right hand side is Zhao Jiakun, who is a little worried and wiping the C17 modified short assault spike gun in his hand. Under each of the three of them were stacked large military multi-purpose backpacks, and in the same cabin as them, there were a dozen other maintenance soldiers.

"Lao Zhao, do you smoke?" Haoyi turned his head to look at Zhao Jiakun beside him, took out a pack of "Ball" brand cigarettes from a special pocket on the side of his upper body armor, and stabbed Zhao Jiakun in the shoulder and said.

Seeing that Zhao Jiakun shook his head, Haoyi took care of himself to open the cigarette package, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and nagged: "Damn, the Federal Military Department is really humane enough, send people to the battlefield, and don't forget to give out a few packs of cigarettes per person." Ya, I just can't smoke, and I can't just don't want the things that these dogs send on day in vain. As he spoke, Hao Yi lit the cigarette in his mouth and took a sharp puff, but he choked and coughed up again and again, and tears came out.

"Mom, what is this, why is it so hard to smoke?" Hao Yi slowed down and said with a curse, causing the rest of the maintenance soldiers in the cabin to look at him with a smile. Although he has been stubborn since he was a child, Haoyi has never been involved in tobacco and alcohol. This was the first time I smoked, and the night before I came to report to the company, it was also the first time I had drunk in the city of Sadra.

"Smoking hurts, so don't smoke!" Zhao Jiakun smiled reluctantly, and said in a somewhat lonely tone. Holding the C17 modified short assault spike gun specially developed for maintenance troops and other logistics arms in his hand, Zhao Jiakun had a faint feeling in his heart, as if he would never go back after stepping on the battlefield this time. At this moment, he is missing his parents at home and his fiancée who has already decided on a family relationship.

"Anla Lao Zhao, don't look depressed!" Haoyi saw that Zhao Jiakun was in a bad mood, and vaguely guessed what he was thinking, so he patted Zhao Jiakun on the shoulder with a big grin, and comforted: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to come down from the battlefield in a mixed manner, maybe there will be a chance to make some contributions!" When the time comes, hehe, look at Li Yi of that dog day, dare to rectify us! ”

In this counterinsurgency operation, all companies in the logistics base joined the expeditionary force. In order to facilitate battlefield maintenance, the logistics headquarters of the group army group ordered each maintenance company to transfer some personnel to various combat divisions to form field repair teams to coordinate with the operations divisions. Faced with this obviously extremely dangerous task, Li Yi, who was about to send Haoyi and the three to the military court, suddenly thought of why he didn't let these three unlucky guys take on this task.

As a result, the three Haoyi were spared a military court, but then they were honorably incorporated into the maintenance detachment directly under the 74th Armored Division under the group army group.

"Attention to the personnel of all units, attention to the personnel of all units! The ship is about to enter sub-light speed, so please fasten your seat belts to all personnel! Repeat, each ......"

As he spoke, the radio in the cabin suddenly sounded.

"What the hell? Why do you suddenly want to speed up? Hao Yi muttered, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and was busy looking for the seat belt on the seat, while not forgetting to wake up Hu Erpang, who was sleeping soundly beside him.

"Huh? Arrived, Brother Hao? Hu Erpang opened his eyes in a daze and asked puzzledly.

"To your size? The spaceship is going to blow up! Haoyi rolled his eyes weakly, so angry that he scared Hu Erfat.

"Huh?! Mom, help! Hu Erfat's extremely ugly cry sounded in the cabin.
