Chapter 27: Operation "Forcible Seizure" (1)
Koploo Star Zone, the outer universe of the planet Monlaith.
Three warships, one large and two small, jumped out of the jump space at the same time and appeared in the outer space of the Koplu Star Zone.
The "Starspirit Base ...... on the Surface" mission briefing shows an ancient Sanctuary of Tadarin. Intelligence shows that the target of this mission is hidden in the Sarnagar Temple deep in the Star Spirit Base.
In this mission, the Black Rose Pirates will mainly be responsible for combat support, and the main attack will be handled by Renault's rangers. In this case, Yang Yi will not be able to share the money in this artifact mission. But if Yang Yi is in charge of the main attack, the task reward will be a part of his score.
"Trouble, it's really not a good thing to deal with the Star Spirit." Not to mention that he is still a group of believers in the dark gods, and Tadarin, who has the death fleet in his hand, is ten thousand times more troublesome than the swarm.
The key problem is that if you fight the insects, the insect swarm will be wiped out, even if the Queen of Blades sends Leviathan, at least the cosmic naval battle can still be fought. But if it is replaced by Tadarin's death fleet...... With the current big and two small, it is basically given for nothing.
His troops need to land on both flanks of the Rangers and be responsible for protecting the Rangers' flanks from the Astral Spirits.
"Just deploy it as normal. I'd rather see how strong Renault's rangers can be. He sneered, "Coordinate to the Combat Coordination Channel, and enter the combat mode from now on." ”
"Roger."
He didn't believe that Renault's main attack would be able to break through the Star Spirit's defenses anyway. Even if you count more, count the strength of more than 10,000 people of a marine division squeezed on the Hubelian ship, the supply of light and heavy weapons and ammunition, the air wing, and heavy artillery and armor. If nothing else, the quality of the soldiers alone is enough for Renault to have a headache.
There are no professional officers of the Imperial Military Academy, and there is no recruit training for as little as three months or more than one year in the Imperial Recruit Training Camp, and the quality of his soldiers is probably inferior to that of the Imperial Stormtroopers with Fei Roman submachine guns in their hands. Although they don't have power armor, they can still master the use of submachine guns, machine guns, rocket launchers, and flamethrowers, and can also double as combat engineers, build temporary bunkers and missile towers, and even assist in the construction of earth fragmentation cannons - while Renault's marines will shoot and throw them into battle with a power armor.
Renault is not like Yang Yi to be open. Those cyborgs were trained to master almost all the skills they needed, just like the regular army of the Empire. It's just that there are fewer people now.
"After arriving at the planet's high orbit in a moment, see if there are any veins near the landing area. If you have one, you can easily collect some crystal ore to replenish your troop losses. ”
"Yes."
According to the mission briefing, Renault will build a forward base to the south and west of the Starspirit base. Attack on both sides at the same time. What Yang Yi needs to do is to occupy the strategic place near the Renault base as much as possible to protect Renault's base from threats, and at the same time launch a small-scale feint attack on the Star Spirit Base to contain the Star Spirit forces and attract the attention of the Star Spirit.
The two sides had each engaged in a series of final tactical negotiations before the battle, and the ship had sailed into the high orbit of Monlaith.
At this time, a communication request was sent to three ships at the same time. is a promoter from Tadarin. It seems to be the Star Spirit Commander in charge of this holy land.
"Humans, you must leave this holy land at once!" The promoter didn't even say a polite word, and as soon as he appeared on the communication screen, he said in a serious and sharp voice, "You have invaded the ancient sacred land of Tadarin. If you don't leave immediately, we'll let you taste the wrath of the dark gods ourselves! ”
"The wrath of the dark gods...... Does it mean that we are going to use dizime? Yang Yi muttered quietly.
Renault ignored Tadarin's warning—knowing that even if he said it would be useless—Renault turned off the communication channel and notified the divisions of the start of the battle.
The first is the high-altitude orbital bombardment of the battlecruisers, using a ground laser artillery group reinforced with electromagnetic coils to carry out a round of advanced bombardment to suppress the defense system of the Star Spirit.
Bombing at high altitude in orbit is obviously far less effective than falling directly into the atmosphere. However, the orbital defense system of the Astral Spirit on the ground will beat them before they enter the atmosphere, so this is a more inefficient but safer strategy.
They had to destroy as many air defenses on the ground as possible to ensure that most of the drop pods could safely reach the landing site and set up a forward base. After the ground forces have completely destroyed the orbital defense system, the warship can then lower its altitude and enter the atmosphere to support.
In fact, the simpler way is to keep bombing the orbit until the Star Spirit is powerless to fight back. But it would take too long, not to mention that Tadarin's Death Fleet couldn't just sit and watch Renault kill all the Star Spirits in the Holy Land. He had to get his goal before the Death Fleet could react and rush to Monlaith, and then evacuate quickly.
Of course, Tadarin didn't just sit and be bombed. Naturally, the Holy Land has air forces that coordinate its defense. Tadarin's several Phoenix fighters rushed straight into the atmosphere from the surface of the planet, preparing to enter orbit to stop the bombing of Renault and others.
“…… Well? Yang Yi's brows furrowed suddenly, "A1, repeat the confirmation, does Tadarin only have so many Phoenix fighters?" ”
A1 hurriedly closed his eyes and used the radar on the ship's hull to quickly scan. Soon, she opened her eyes and nodded towards Yang Yi: "Yes." There are only 6 Astral Spirit fighters that are breaking through the atmosphere. ”
"Huh? Only so little defender? ”
To tell the truth, he came this time with the intention of running away at any time. A holy place like this, he didn't have to think that it must be heavily guarded, even if there was a detachment of the Death Fleet stationed here, he wouldn't be surprised. If there are not thousands of star spirits below, I am afraid that they will all be sorry for the name of this holy land.
As a result, there were 6 Star Spirit fighters, or did they take off temporarily, and they didn't even have a patrol mechanism?
"Open the communication channel and I'll contact Falcon."
"Falcon, this is Alpha. There were only 6 Phoenix fighters to block it, and the defensive force was somewhat abnormally weak. It is advisable to proceed with caution. Complete. ”
"Falcon received. Prepare to engage the enemy first. Complete. ”
"Alpha received. Complete. ”
"A1, get ready to engage the enemy. Try not to interrupt the orbital bombing process, we can't waste a minute. ”
"Roger."
