It was indeed difficult to send three marine squads to accomplish what was supposed to be a reinforced company. The only advantage is that all three Marine Squads have received synchronous airborne heavy weapons from the drop bay, which can be regarded as a counterattack against the annoying fortifications and energy shields of the Star Spirits.

Yang Yi did not put his hope in the three marine squads at Yumoyan Point, and so did Renault. The two men quickly ordered the second batch of drop pods, halved, to drop through the gaps in the defense net to the cleared Keha points. This batch of drop pods carried armored troops, an armored platoon of four "piercing" siege tanks, and a mecha platoon, four Goliath walking mechs, mainly responsible for providing fire support to ground light infantry units.

Yang Yi did not put in armored units, but put in the remaining troops of the Marine Company except for the Marine Platoon that had landed before. His mission was to fortify the auxiliary points, and Keha Point had nothing to do with him after he lost the two Marine squads that attacked Keha Point.

If nothing else, the third group will be airborne to the regimental headquarters and the engineer company to deploy the forward base. Then they will turn defense into offense, and go to search for and destroy orbital defenses, so that the battleship can descend into the atmosphere, and build a complete forward base with a command center, barracks, heavy factory, and starport.

The second batch of drop pods arrived at the surface smoothly, although losses were inevitable on the way, but with the beacon guidance of the land area, the drop pods were not as scattered as before, and most of the drop pods fell precisely within the radius of the landing area.

At the same time, the rapid reaction force of the Star Spirit took advantage of the fact that the second batch of airdrop troops had not yet had time to join the defense system, and launched a fierce attack on the defenders of Keha Point.

The first to engage was Mar Sala Point, located east of Keha Point. As an auxiliary and observation point to Keha Point, this point was the first to engage in a firefight with the Star Spirit Rapid Counterforces coming around from the west. The Marine squad responsible for garrisoning this auxiliary point was so crushed that it couldn't raise its head, and lost two members of its team in an instant.

After receiving a request for help from Mar Sala Point, Keha Point immediately sent a Marine Platoon to support Ma Sala Point. At the same time, news of an exchange of fire with the Star Spirit came from Joe Sara Point, east of Keha Point, and another Marine Platoon was sent to hold the point.

However, scouts from the perimeter scouts suddenly reported that a force of astral spirits was trying to bypass the auxiliary point and raid the landing zone at Keha Point. Renault's reinforced company immediately carried out a defensive force to the northern line of defense, reinforcing the defensive force by a squad.

Six hours have passed since the beginning of the operation, and the original plan was to send all the advance troops to land within 24 hours, destroy the enemy's orbital defenses within three days, and strive to get the artifact in a week and then quickly evacuate here.

The first to arrive were the three marine squads responsible for attacking the Yumayan point. To the surprise of Renault and Yang Yi, the three Marine Squads successfully repelled the Star Spirit troops stationed in the place despite huge casualties. And cleared out the landing zone. Another Marine squad of the platoon also captured four nearby auxiliary points, but it was clear that they were now severely undermanned.

Yang Yi immediately ordered a group of troops who had already entered the drop capsule to immediately drop support to Yumoyang. It was a marine platoon, which was originally going to reinforce Mar Sara Point, but now it was immediately sent by Yang Yi to Yumoyan Point to support the Marine Platoon that had suffered heavy losses. Renault's Rangers also sent a large number of drop pods a few minutes later, dropping an entire half of the reinforced company towards the landing zone.

The Star Spirit also realized that the human race must not be allowed to seize another landing site, otherwise the battle line formed by the mutual support of these two landing sites, the current strength of the Star Spirit will definitely not be able to break through. Therefore, under the monitoring of the sensors, another unit in the Star Spirit Base set off to quickly head to the Yumayan point. This force was obviously smaller than the rapid reaction force that was attacking Keha Point at this time, and it was obviously improvised patchwork. If reinforcements arrived, it would definitely not be able to fight, but in the face of the Marine platoon with heavy casualties......

Now it can only be seen who is faster, and how long that Marine platoon can hold out.

The eyes of the two ships focused on the Marine platoon on Yumoyan Point, which was rapidly building a defensive line. As long as they could hold out until reinforcements from either Yang Yi or Renault's rangers arrived, they were successful.

Yumoyan Point, 12th Marine Platoon.

In the dug foxhole, Dodge lay in the foxhole, listening to the endless nonsense of the guys in the channel.

“…… If you want me to say, this time there is no share of a few hundred credits, this thing is definitely not over! ”

"A few hundred credits? Are you crazy, One-Eyed? It's pretty much the same to give you a few hundred big-eared posts. Giving you fifty credits is considered to be giving you face, right? I don't want to be a pirate here with a few hundred credits! ”

"Shut up, Four Eyes. There is an admission letter from Keha University of Technology, what ...... pull?"

"He's sour, he's sour!"

"Shut up!"

Dodge's eyes were fixed on the front of the foxhole. Unlike veterans who had already been through it several times, he joined the pirate group after the desert exercise operation. Although those veterans did not participate in the famous desert exercise, they also had many ship hijacking and combat experience, and were able to face the battlefield without losing an inch.

He was just a loser who was forced to do this business because his business went bankrupt, and after two years of military training, he joined a Marine regiment. As a result, I didn't expect to go directly to the pirate group and mix with a group of pirate veterans. As a serious citizen of the Empire, he was very disgusted by this, but there was nothing he could do about it. If he were in the regular army, he would still have the power to apply to his superiors for a transfer from the army—approval or not was another matter—and in this group of pirates, he could only learn to enjoy it.

"King, this is Gorge, we had a firefight with the Starlings at Terrador Point, and it should be the reinforcements. We are retreating towards the Yumayan point. ”

"The king received, as soon as possible to withdraw to the Yumayan point into the defensive line."

The conversation between the two squad leaders in the communication channel suddenly cleared Dodge's originally somewhat dazed mind. Star spirits and alien insects are not easy for humans, although the military academy and virtual reality exercises have given him sufficient combat knowledge of this, but after actually coming to the battlefield, he still feels a lot of nervousness.

He kept glancing ahead, and he suddenly felt his eyes inadvertently scan a corner, and he quickly turned his attention there, suddenly spotting an abnormal red color. He reacted immediately and immediately shouted in the communication channel.

"Engage the enemy! 300 meters away, north, star spirit! ”
