After four hours of space battles, the Pegasus Navy achieved some results.

Although the starport fortress of Fastes is still standing, and even the shield has not been broken, there are many armed space stations that have either been blown up or taken over by the marines.

And by this time, Gu Hang also received new information.

On the ground, the warriors of the undead have a new victory: they have captured all the anti-orbital fire deployed in and around the planetary capital.

The capture itself was not difficult, but the difficulty was that it was short, it needed to move quickly, and it was also subject to disposition.

In fact, the time Gu Hang gave them was eight hours. However, under the command of Karduso, a century-old veteran, the immortal bird was able to finish it in half the time with no casualties.

When this news was transmitted to Gu Hang, Gu Hang immediately asked the naval staff officers of the Tianma fleet to assess the possibility of conducting the next phase of the operation.

And these staff officers also quickly came up with the result: After the anti-orbit and air defense systems at the landing site have been completely cleared, the conditions for conducting landing operations are now initially met.

Gu Hang waved his hand and announced the start of the operation.

The cruiser that Gu Hang was on, along with three destroyers and seven frigates, began to press forward rapidly.

Their movements immediately attracted the enemy's fierce firepower. In particular, the enemy's firepower center, the fortress Starport, fired several 'Loyal Heir's Fury' cannons in a row, due to the close distance, the hit rate skyrocketed, directly overloading the energy shield of a frigate, and frightened it to retreat from the battlefield immediately.

But at the same time, after the distance is closer, the firepower of the starship can also be more ferocious. The array of spears of light on the concerto made the Void Shield of the Falcher Starport tremble. In the process, hundreds of missiles were fired in a salvo, and when they reached the Void Shield, the missiles slowed down significantly, which certainly gave the enemy a chance to intercept the missiles, but at the same time, more than 30 missiles passed through the Void Shield, and finally 20 of them exploded in the fortress.

Twenty S-class and M-class missiles with mixed specifications will not destroy the starport fortress, which is also very thickly armored. However, a few shots with good luck hit the fire platform and hit the densely populated area, causing good damage.

This made the commander of the fortress have to pay full attention to these ships that are close to him, and he has no time to care about anything else for a while.

In the void, countless behemoths bombarded each other fiercely like this.

However, while the core firepower of the enemy's defense was pinned, another cruiser, the 'Violin', with several destroyers, also pressed forward. However, their target was to launch an air attack on multiple anti-orbital gun positions on the surface.

At the same time, inside the array of these warships, there are seven or eight fast transport ships hiding inside.

These transport ships will certainly not play a role in space naval warfare. Their responsibility at the moment is to transport the landing force.

From these transports, from warships headed by the Violin, landing craft were dropped.

A large number of armed space stations have been destroyed or taken over, starport fortresses have been pinned, anti-orbital firepower on the surface has been suppressed, and anti-orbital firepower in the capital region has simply been cleared.

In this case, the orbital landing becomes quite smooth.

The landing force that took the lead was a group army within the Dragon Eagle 3 Corps.

Three hundred landing craft rushed through the orbit of the planet, broke through the atmosphere, and headed for the ground. Their goal is to go straight to the planet's capital.

In the process of falling, the few firepower at most destroyed a dozen landing craft. This represented the loss of thousands of people, but it did not prevent the success of the landing as a whole.

On the outskirts of the capital, ten immortal birds, a capital garrison of several thousand people who were 'loyal' to the empire, had already carved out a temporary landing ground here.

The landing craft landed one after another, and each landing craft carried hundreds of Astral Army soldiers, and some of them were even equipped with heavy equipment such as tanks and artillery.

A total of 140,000 Astral Army soldiers have completed the assembly at the landing site.

The leader of this force is Major General Cai Minjin of the Astral Army. The main force of this attack was the 314th Group Army of the Dragon Eagle Regiment led by him. He himself, even more risky, directly participated in this landing operation, and was the first to land.

When the troops were still assembling, Cai Minjin stood on a high ground and looked at the capital city in front of him, full of hesitation.

"General." Someone shouted from below, "General, you better come down, pay attention to safety......"

“…… Alas. With a sigh, Cai Minjin walked down the high ground, and then asked, "Did the car you prepared for the first time drive out of the landing ship?" ”

"It's out." The adjutant said, "But...... Think again! The troops still need you to lead them. ”

Cai Minjin scolded, and then said: "Think twice, why think twice, when I go back to my own city, do I need to think twice?" ”

"This ......"

"Drive over the car and go!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, three military vehicles headed for the capital.

Along the way, Cai Minjin looked at the familiar and unfamiliar street scenes, and it was difficult to describe his inner feelings.

He has only joined the Dragon Eagle Legion for more than ten years. Prior to that, he was a general in the Faches Defense Army and the commander of the Capital Garrison. That year, he was ordered to take the entire capital garrison at that time, and restructured it together and became part of the Astral Army. His identity has also changed from a general of the Defense Army to a major general of the Astral Army.

It's hard to tell if it's a promotion or a demotion; Whether he was entrusted with the important task of sending the Astral Army to help the Faches regime control this force, or was it handed over as an imperial tax and distributed outside the core of power.

He only knew that his feelings were very complicated at that time.

Since then, he has faded from his former status as a politician and become a pure military man. I don't have to get involved in any intrigue anymore, but life has become monotonous since then.

At that time, the last thing he wanted was that one day the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion would be pulled out of its home planet and go to the alien to participate in the war.

But this day came more unexpectedly and unexpectedly than expected.

His first mission to leave his home planet to fight outside was to go to the Raging Star to clear the Blackbird Heavy Industries trouble.

He didn't think it was a long-term assignment at first. After arriving at the Angry Owl Star, he also made a lot of nonsense, wanting to gain the command of the Angry Owl Planet's native army, launch a full-scale offensive, quickly end the war, and then ......

Then he was slapped in the face.

It was there that he first got a glimpse of what the Alliance army was capable of.

But it was just an episode in his life, no matter what the process was, at least his mission was completed, and the losses of the troops were not very large, and it did not take very long.

Just when he thought that he could finally return to his hometown, he kept sending orders, and directly transferred him from the angry star to Koroga.

At that time, he still felt that this would be a short-term mission, similar to the matter of the angry star, just to go to an imperial world to quell the rebellion and purge the cult.

But I didn't expect that this stay was eight years, and the governor of Koroga was changed three times.

However, during the eight years he spent in Koroga, he had long lost the mind to participate in politics. The tragic war continued to escalate in front of him, and all he was thinking about in those years was how to win, how to complete the task, and how to make the boys under his command sacrifice less.

What impressed him particularly was the battle to defend the famous salt city.

A division, sent to the front, fought for several hours, and was gone.

Tens of thousands, just gone.

And all he could do was throw in one division and regiment after another, and then watch them be crippled and crumbled a few hours later.

Looking at the battle report, looking at the battle line, and witnessing those tragic scenes, Cai Minjin's way of thinking has been changed forever.

Those power struggles, those conspiracy tricks, in this kind of blood and fire washing, are meaningless.

At least for him, it doesn't make sense.

Since the end of the war, for two years, guarding the nest capital and fighting a law and order war has been like a vacation compared to the original tragic battlefield.

Occasionally, he still thinks of his hometown and his life as commander of the Defense Forces.

Remember? Contempt? There may be some.

If he could, he wouldn't be averse to coming home and seeing, especially his wife and children, who were still on the Fastces 1.

Although, he also had a local magnate on Koroga and married a daughter to him......

And now, he has really returned to his hometown, but he didn't expect it to be this way.

In the way of the Imperial Counterinsurgency, return to his hometown, to the place he has guarded for half his life.

It's a real thing.

Looking out the car window, the street scene that should have been bustling but cold and deserted at the moment, countless chaotic thoughts turned through his mind.

But when the military vehicle drove into the military district station, all thoughts were gathered back again.

At some point, a light rain fell from the sky. An officer of the capital garrison waited in the rain.

At the head is Bobby Fastes, a traitor...... Oh, I should say that the loyalist, or the defector.

Cai Minjin didn't know how to define it.

He got out of the car and shook hands with Bobby.

"Welcome back, old commander." Bobby seemed quite humble, and Cai Minjin was indeed his old boss.

Cai Minjin waved his hand and signaled not to say more.

A group of people entered the office building of the military region's station.

There were already many people sitting in the Great Hall.

Among them, at least they are also colonels, and they are the real commanders of the various troops.

Hearing that the door of the Great Hall was pushed open, they turned around and at the same time stared at Cai Minjin, who strode in, with complicated expressions.

Cai Minjin walked onto the rostrum and stood in front of everyone.

"Have all the commanders above the regimental level arrived?" Cai Minjin asked.

Bobby, who had just sat down in the front row, stood up and responded, "Those who want to come." And some ......"

Cai Minjin interrupted him: "I'll only give you an hour to inform those who haven't come, tell them that I've arrived, and there is still my Astral Legion outside the city, so that they can think about it for themselves." After an hour, anyone who does not arrive will be considered a traitor, and I will personally lead someone to exterminate them. ”

Looking at the strange looks of the many officers in the audience, Cai Minjin added: "Yes, that's right, those who didn't come are traitors." ”

Bobby gave a few orders, and someone ran out.

In the next few dozen minutes, people arrived one after another.

On time, Cai Minjin asked the door of the synagogue to be closed.

He announced to everyone present: "Now, all the loyal officers of the capital garrison are here. ”

No one spoke, and he didn't care, and began to assign tasks.

There are eleven regiment-level commanders who did not come. The troops under their command totaled about 20,000 or 30,000 people. Compared to the number of the capital garrison of one million, it is an absolute minority, and they are scattered and stationed in the capital city or surrounding areas.

Each of the officers present was asked to send out a battalion, and these commanders personally led the team to exterminate those troops who did not come. Under Cai Minjin, the veterans of the Astral Army who gathered outside the city will also go, but they will not do it directly, but as a team of supervisors.

Blood-stained name.

When tasks were assigned, the atmosphere was depressing.

Some grieve, some hesitate, and some grit their teeth......

In such an atmosphere, there are still people who can't help it.

"Old commander, I don't understand why this is happening, they are all our compatriots and comrades-in-arms...... We are the warriors of the Fachims, and we have served the Facher family for generations, and when the foreign enemy is coming, shouldn't we fight bravely? You're here, you're taking us with you, are you still ......"

'Bang. ’

A gunshot rang out.

Cai Minjin didn't give him a chance to finish.

Old general, the pistol is very accurate. The bullet was about 20 meters away, separated by many people, and it still accurately lifted the head of the person who spoke.

This shot made the situation in the Great Hall tense all of a sudden.

Although they were not allowed to bring guns when they had the opportunity, some people quietly brought them and subconsciously put their hands on the holsters.

Cai Minjin noticed, but he didn't care.

He sighed and slowly put the gun down: "I still remember him, Wang Zhongze, the soldier I led before, I remember that I personally awarded him a medal, when he got married, I also went to his wedding, I hugged his daughter......"

"My heart hurts, and I really don't want him to be the one who jumps out."

"However, I'm an Imperial General, and I'm also a Falcher, and I can't watch someone say such things in front of me and provoke you to do things you shouldn't do."

"Don't mention anything else, just say it. Do you think I'll be able to rebel against the Imperial Army with me? Do you still think that the Dragon Eagle Legion is the Dragon Eagle Legion that was stationed on Falcher in the first place? Twenty percent of the people in the legion are from Koroga, and the remaining two percent are married and have children on Koroga. Minnick launched a rebellion, they were the most gnashing of teeth! They just want to tear apart the traitors on Falcis, what are you expecting? ”

"What's more, even if the Dragon Eagle Legion is on this side, everything will be fine?"

"I've seen Commander Gu's ability with my own eyes, and I've even seen the strength of those elite soldiers under him. Space marines, knights, mechs, and even Titans, there are so many of them in the Alliance! ”

"Not to mention, the soldiers of the Alliance, they are more elite than the Astral Army. You all know the selection criteria for the Astral Army, and the selection of the best warriors has always been among us. But even so, the quality of the soldiers is a notch below the soldiers of the Alliance! ”

"It's not difficult for him to sweep away all the planetary defenses on the planet Fastces."

"I applied to be the first to come down, and even braved the fire, what do you think it was for? Isn't it just to keep your old subordinates! ”

"Don't tell me anything loyal or disloyal, you know what true loyalty is!"

"People like Wang Zhongze are not only traitors to the Empire, but also traitors to the Falcesians. If you continue to be foolish and loyal to the Falchers family, the final result will only be swept into the garbage heap with the Falchers family, and you will not only be killed and wiped out, but you will also become a sinner in history, and you will be spurned and stenched for thousands of years in the following thousands of years! The Falchers will spit on you, the Empire will spit on you, and the Emperor will spit on you! ”

"Now, I'm done with what I'm going to say, and you'll see for yourselves! I'm here alone, and there are not many guards who want to attack me, pull out your guns, and shoot at me! Look at what you can do to kill an old thing like me here! ”

No one in the General Assembly Hall has spoken.

The few people who touched the holster of their guns also let go.

After waiting for two minutes, seeing that no one moved, Cai Minjin scolded: "No one wants to shoot me down, right?" So what are you doing in a daze? Do what you have to do! ”

……

In the garrison of the capital of Fastes 1, the purge that took place was not so bloody.

The regiments that did not accept the command of Cai Minjin were attacked by their colleagues. They did not hold out for long at all, and the soldiers' will to fight was also very weak, and they were not so willing to accept the orders of the officers, and they quickly surrendered.

Most of those officers who resisted ended up committing suicide or being caught and executed.

Cai Minjin did not continue to toss around in the capital area.

Although the entire capital garrison is not completely convinced, at best, it can only barely obey the command, the morale is quite low, and the internal thinking cannot be unified.

But he didn't have time.

Under his order, about 500,000 troops were drawn out of the capital garrison, and together with the four divisions and brigades of the Dragon Eagle Legion that he brought down, they went straight to 'Xinggang City'.

It is located about 400 kilometers from the capital area, and its location is directly below the fortress Starport, which has been fiercely exchanged with the Pegasus fleet, and is a city developed from the ground structure of the starport, and built around the function of the starport.

The Marshal of the Wehrmath of the Facher family, the man was there.

After Peters issued a declaration of the coalition government, the marshal also urgently issued a manifesto, angrily reprimanding Petus's statement, and at the same time urgently declared himself the supreme successor of the coalition government, saying what to lead the people of Fastes against the invaders.

However, let's not say how many people bought it, anyway, the current chaotic situation within the coalition government has brought him huge trouble.

The defense forces he mobilized in a short period of time gathered in Xinggang City, and he originally planned to recapture the capital area, but the speed at which the surrounding defense forces responded to the call and gathered slowly increased.

And the most important thing is that the speed of the arrival of all kinds of military supplies is not fast enough.

For a short time, he was simply powerless to launch a counterattack.

Even worse, while he was sweating profusely to coordinate his troops from all sides, he instead pounced on a force from the capital region, with a size of hundreds of thousands.

The defense forces of the capital region not only did not resist, but even directly reversed!

This is something he didn't expect!

The defensive line did not have time to be well arranged, and his troops were hit.

And this blow came so fiercely that the troops loyal to him could not resist it at all!

Cai Minjin knew that the first battle could not be handed over to the capital defense force that had just been subdued, otherwise once there was any tough battle and some setbacks, then the already low morale would collapse at once, and the troops would doubt whether their choice was correct.

Therefore, in the first battle, he still took out his old book.

The troops that landed on the ground with him, in addition to the three large infantry divisions, had an armored division. The armored vehicles and Lion tanks in the armored division naturally needless to say, and the most important thing is that they also carry a Lion King tank.

At the same time, he also transferred three Lion King tanks in the capital's defense force, all of which were purchased by the Ficchers government outside of arms, and joined his own tank crew.

The four lion kings, with a cluster of lion tanks, launched a fierce attack on Xinggang City.

Under the strong armored force, the troops on the outskirts of Xinggang City, who were not prepared for defense at all, were crushed by a single blow; Inside Xinggang City, they reluctantly organized a wave of street fighting defense, and relied on the defensive firepower of the batteries inside Xinggang City, which was quite good, to faintly block the offensive of Cai Minjin's troops.

Even, due to some aggressiveness, a Lion King tank was destroyed in the process of street fighting.

But at the critical moment, it was the Space Marines who stepped up again.

Cai Minjin has no right to command the immortal space marines, but Karduso, a century-old veteran, has a very outstanding sense of war, and he can easily find the key to the current battle situation without the need for someone else's command.

He personally led his company, under the cover of a surprise attack by a part of the Astral Army's armored forces, penetrated deep into the rear of the enemy army, captured several artillery batteries, and destroyed two enemy command posts and a temporary ammunition depot.

After sustaining critical damage, and witnessing the arrival of the Emperor's Angels of Death, and these Angels of Death were truly as heroic and invulnerable as the legend suggests, the defenders of Starport City collapsed.

If they were still skeptical that they had really become traitors to the Empire, and had been deceived by the propaganda of the Fetcher family, the arrival of the Space Marines destroyed all faith.

How many soldiers loyal to the Empire can accept being enemies of the Emperor's angels?

Their morale completely collapsed, and widespread surrender began.

Xinggang City was conquered by the loyal Astral Army, and the whole process did not exceed five hours. Although there are still sporadic revolts in some places, they are no longer in the way.

The Marshal of the Defense Force wanted to run at the last moment, but in front of the immortal birds, he couldn't run away at all.

Company Commander Karduso personally arrested the 'heir to the supreme power' and 'supreme commander' who had just been in office for a short time, and shot him in public.
