What has been the rebels' greatest reliance?

It's not a few starships hidden, it's not a ghost lurking in the fleet, it's the broad masses of the people.

The innocent citizens of the new three districts are their best cover and a bargaining chip to coerce the federal government.

As early as the beginning of the war, various units in the theater of operations set up temporary settlements around the city. It is hoped that the citizens will be able to leave the city and return to the rebels after they have been encircled and suppressed. It's just that although a lot of efforts have been made, the effect is not good.

The rebels existed before the independence of the New Third District, but at that time they had a legal identity. Under their control and brainwashing, citizens subconsciously reject the federal government.

In addition, there are quite a few rebel soldiers who are themselves locals and have a relationship with the citizens. Either they are afraid of reprisals, or they don't want to betray their loved ones, there are many reasons why they are reluctant to leave.

Moreover, the small citizens have the wisdom of the small citizens, and know that the army will not kill innocents indiscriminately. The city seems to be a war zone, full of dangers, but as long as you don't run around, the probability of encountering danger is not too high.

But this time is different, the earthquake doesn't matter if you're a civilian or a rebel, the damage doesn't make a difference. And the fear of such unforeseen natural disasters is far greater than anything else.

Under the haze of this great fear, the citizens did not think about anything else, and the only thought in their minds was the idea of fleeing.

The "Lynx" told a small lie when it reported, it was not the 6th Fleet that made a suggestion at all, but the citizens who took the initiative to seek refuge.

In the face of the demands of the townspeople, the 6th Fleet, of course, welcomed. Cai Hanwen was even more overjoyed after receiving the report, and ordered the troops to put down all affairs and concentrate on only this one thing. While guiding the citizens out of the city, they are on guard for a possible attack by the rebels.

As for the question of whether the citizens will be mixed with the rebels, Cai Hanwen certainly also considers it.

All people entering the resettlement site will be identified by the source of identification. As long as it is a source energy above level C, or the identity is not clear, all of them will be sent to a separate area and sent heavy troops to strictly monitor them.

It doesn't matter if there is anything missing, as long as you go out of the city and enter the resettlement site, it is equivalent to falling into the hands of the 6th Fleet, and you are not afraid of them making trouble.

Commander Cai was happy, and the "vulture" commander naturally had to vomit blood.

Even vomiting blood is considered light, and even fainting is not strange.

It's nothing if the cannon fodder soldiers ran away, the key is that those citizens are really deadly.

All the citizens have run out, and Nanhu City is equivalent to an empty city. In the face of an empty city, why should the 6th Fleet have any scruples.

Having a commander captured will increase the risk for the rebels, and the exposure of starships will worsen the situation, but no matter how serious these problems are, they will not kill the rebels all at once. can turn the city into an empty city, which is equivalent to taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle, so that the rebels have completely lost their living space.

As far as the rebels are concerned, it's okay to play tactics. But if it is a head-to-head confrontation, let alone a head-to-head confrontation with the 6th Fleet, even the garrison troops may not be able to fight.

"Hahahaha...... Okay, really good......" The vulture looked up to the sky and smiled, its body swaying, and it fell.

"Commander, Commander, are you alright......"

The "bobcat" was frightened when he saw the vulture's appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Don't worry, there is still a chance." The citizens had only just begun to leave the city, and they could have been stopped. I'll send someone ......."

"Send someone!" "Vulture" grabbed the arm of "Lynx": "Now those citizens want to leave because of the earthquake, if we send someone to stop it at this time, the citizens will be rejected from the heart." The government can even make a big fuss about it to deceive people in other cities. If that's the case, we'll have no chance at all. ”

"You have a point. The "Lynx" was very embarrassed: "Then what should we do?

"Of course, we can't give up, the plan remains the same, or a counteroffensive in seven days. The vulture gritted its teeth: "No, it's less than seven days now, and there are only six days left!"

"The plan doesn't change?" "Lynx" was slightly stunned, and didn't understand it at first. But after a little pondering, I also understood the intention of the commander.

There are dozens of cities in the new three districts, and abandoning one of them seems to be irrelevant. But Nanhu City is different, it is one of the battlefields of the rebels' planned counteroffensive.

There are three such cities, each of which has an SS-class rebel leader. There are also rebel hidden starships, which are also distributed in these three cities.

Nanhu City has the most hidden starships, with a total of four. The other two cities each have three ships. All of them add up to the combat power of a complete fleet.

All three cities are pre-screened, and with the power and long-range support capabilities of starships, they can be assembled in a very short time. At that time, according to the development of the war situation and various considerations, it will be decided which city will be used as the main battlefield.

With the Federation fleet defenseless, such a force is enough to sweep through the entire New Third Sector in a short period of time, thus achieving the ultimate goal of the rebels.

If Nanhu City is given up, it is equivalent to giving up nearly half of its strength. In this way, more than 20 years of planning will be ruined.

The "vultures" can't take on that kind of responsibility and don't want to give up so easily.

The escape of the citizens from the city will leave the rebels without a barrier, but in the close proximity of the time for the counteroffensive, it is not without opportunities.

After deciding on the date of the counteroffensive and setting the main battlefield in Nanhu City, the rebels in various places have begun to operate.

The other two cities that harbor starships stand still, creating the illusion of relative calm. The rest of the cities induced the 6th Fleet to adjust its force deployment by taking the initiative and assassinating and sabotaging attacks.

It is impossible for the 6th Fleet to withdraw all the forces of those two cities, but even if it does not move at all, as long as there is no time for other places to support, the starships will rush out of the city at that time, and the defenders will not be able to stop them.

The six starships of the two cities will rush to the aid of Nanhu City as soon as possible, and fight the 6th Fleet here with an absolute superiority of forces.

Because the 6th Fleet didn't know that the rebels had starships, the rebels were equivalent to fighting more and less. Although Cai Hanwen is an SS-level powerhouse, he does not have enough troops to support him, and he cannot exert his due combat power, and he is destined to be wiped out.

After the elimination of Cai Hanwen, the 6th Fleet was even more leaderless. The rebel fleet will then be able to sweep through the entire New Third District with a devastating force. By the time the Planetary Fleet military department realizes that something is wrong and sends other fleets to support, it will already be too late.

Except that because of Li Mu's intervention, the counteroffensive time was advanced, which would make the destruction of the new third area less than expected, and there was no other problem with this plan.

Of course, now the problem is a little more serious, Li Mu turned the starship into an underground battleship. Although the bases of the other three interstellar warships have not been destroyed, the passage to go out has been ruined by Li Mu, and the battleships cannot fly out at all.

If you want to clear the passage, it is not possible to do it in a few days. What's more, there is also the 6th Fleet watching outside, and it is impossible to avoid their eyes and ears. Therefore, Li Mu's toss in the underground is equivalent to making all the interstellar warships in Nanhu City lose their combat power.

However, this does not mean that the rebels have no chance at all.

The main battlefield is in Nanhu City, as long as it is ensured that Cai Hanwen's main force on this side can be destroyed, the remaining six interstellar warships can run rampant in the new third area. Although the destruction was much worse than expected, it was not a failure.

It's just that such a big plan can't be 100% successful. Although Cai Hanwen is the youngest fleet commander, his ability and experience are not weak at all.

Even if the decisive battle is successfully launched, if the situation is found to be wrong, Cai Hanwen will definitely break through. The rebels have four fewer starships, making it difficult to carry out effective pursuit and interception. But the defection of the citizens gave the rebels a chance.

The 6th Fleet will definitely enter the city to clear the rebels after settling the citizens, but it will take time to settle down and screen the identities of the citizens, and five or six days is just right. It is not difficult to set the date of the liquidation of the 6th Fleet on the day of the counteroffensive to let the fleet's internal line play a role.

On that day, the troops of the 6th Fleet's Nanhu Theater entered the city and exchanged fire with the rebels, and it was easy to form an anxious situation, and it was difficult to withdraw in a short time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other two main rebel forces will come to support with six starships. At that time, the combined attack from the inside and outside will be able to wipe out Cai Hanwen's headquarters and the federal army in Nanhu City in one fell swoop.

"I see. The "Lynx" said in a deep voice: "Commander, you just need to recuperate in the next few days, and leave all the other things to me." ”

"No, you don't have to worry about this side of things. You prepare, you'll have to leave tomorrow at the latest. The vulture said: "Those two guys will withdraw one after another in the next two days and lurk in a different identity." They need people around them, so you ......"

"Commander, what does this mean?" "Lynx" looked stunned: "Didn't those two come when the counterattack came?"

"We don't have enough troops, one SS class is enough, there's no point in coming more. "Vulture" said: "Besides, this counterattack is too much earlier than scheduled, and the success is not fully guaranteed." The three of us discussed that if we failed, we couldn't all fold in, and we had to leave some behind. ”

"Then you can't be the only ......one," the "bobcat" was in a hurry.

"It can only be me. The "vulture" sighed: "What's more, now that there are four fewer starships and more variables, those two guys will not come." Since the problem lies with me, I naturally have to shoulder this matter. ”

"I'm not leaving. The "Lynx" was resolute: "Whether it is life or death, I will only follow you." ”

"Obey orders. "Vulture" has a fierce look in his eyes: "Don't forget, what we came here for! If we both die, do you think those people will continue to fulfill their promises?"

The "Lynx" wanted to speak and stopped, but under the stern gaze of the "vulture", he could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

Seeing that the "Lynx" was still very reluctant, the "Vulture" sighed and said, "If you really want to help me, go and find out the vice-captain for me! ”

"Commander, don't worry!" "Lynx" has a powerful voice and a fierce gaze. The suffocating breath in his chest finally found a breakthrough.

I almost forgot about that bastard, he made it all up. If it weren't for him, things wouldn't have come to this point.

But the question is, how to catch it......

That guy is now in an interstellar battleship, scurrying around underground like a groundhog, and he's still oversized.

Before the "Bobcat" came to report, he had actually tried to stop the starship piloted by Li Mu.

Send small aircraft into the underground and follow the passage to chase after them, planting amplified bombs wherever they may pass...... I've thought of almost all the ways I can think of, but I still can't stop that behemoth.

Starships are capable of faster-than-light flight between galaxies, and while one person can't enable that feature, it won't affect the starship's super propulsion horsepower. If it is solid soil, it will definitely not be able to drill far, but the underground network of Nanhu City is too developed, and there is an empty space to squeeze into it.

Thinking of this, the "Lynx" was a little deflated again.

"Let's move the other three starships. The "vulture" obviously thought of a way, and said with a gloomy face: "Anyway, I can't use it, and it's a waste to put it away." ”

"Lynx" was puzzled at first, and at first he didn't quite understand what the commander meant. But thinking about it, I gradually reacted, and my eyes couldn't help but stare at the boss.

If you do that, you will definitely be able to catch people, but the three starships will definitely be scrapped. While a few days is probably not enough to clean up the exit from the base, it is at least time to try to salvage it. And now, just to catch someone, all possibilities must be abandoned......

This price seems to be too big, and it's not worth it.

However, I glanced out the window at the crowd downstairs, and then thought about what happened before, as well as the almost last words of the commander just now......

Value!

As long as you can catch that bastard, even if you lose this battle, it's worth it!
