Chapter 1351 The strange battle of Marshal Li Grad begins
At this moment, the Soback fleet, with the battlecruiser Yu Rabbit as its flagship, has arrived at the DL102 galaxy, which is only two jumps away from the Yaochi star.
On the bridge of the Royal Rabbit, Rear Admiral Yeager Soback held his head high, looking at the expectant look on Miss Serlu's face, and pressed his temples with a headache: "So, those who are besieging the Yaochi Galaxy are
Major General Sumer, hope I can help and give him some advice?"
Miss Serlu nodded with a heavy expression.
Soback pressed his forehead helplessly: "Is it already the third day of the landing operation over there? Could it be that the progress is not going well?"
"It's not just that the progress is not going well. It's simply that we have lost our troops and abandoned our armor." Miss Serlu showed an even more sad expression.
Soback glanced at the other party suspiciously: "I don't know if it's my imagination. Sellu, are you gloating now?"
"This is your misunderstanding! Okay, okay, there is really nothing I can do. Since you have asked, I can't help but answer." Miss Serlu said helplessly: "Okay, I admit it, to Major General Surmei
Our respect is indeed limited. This is actually the accumulated grievances of several generations."
"Oh, the grievances between princes and lords? The kind that can be filmed for 10 seasons of TV series if you are not careful?" Soback, who was born in a run-down noble family, expressed envy.
"Yes, there has been some discord between my family and the Surmei family for generations. But I have no personal grudges with Major General Surmei. Although he was the instructor of the superior officer when he was studying at the Royal Military Academy, he asked the inferior officer to
I rewrote the paper three times, but this is a business matter after all, and there is really no personal grudge.”
Good fellow, this hatred is not as deep as the sea!
"However, you should know me. No matter how bad I do, I will never treat the casualties of our soldiers as a joke."
"...In short, Major General Surmei didn't win?" Yeager decided to return the topic to the current situation.
Miss Serlu put on a rather heavy expression: "Yes, the situation is not optimistic."
Yeager Soback said it was difficult to understand. Our own side has absolute orbital air supremacy and absolute fleet superiority. Even if we are not optimistic, how can we not be optimistic?
Then, Miss Serlu began to explain in detail the battle situation of the past three days,
The fleet led by Major General Suermei entered Yaochi with a very cautious attitude. They had already launched a large-scale wide-area anti-reconnaissance mechanism before the jump, so they immediately sensed the unmanned aerial vehicle.
The signals from reconnaissance planes and satellites further captured the signal sources on the surface of the Yaochi planet.
Major General Surmei immediately ordered a long-range attack on the signal source of the Yaochi planet.
He did not use thermonuclear warheads. On the one hand, he did not want to destroy the natural environment balance of the Holy Land planet, and on the other hand, he also planned to persuade the 38th Division and Marshal Li Gel to surrender.
This academic general is a simple, strong and steady man, but he is not a bloodthirsty person.
Missiles with conventional warheads plowed through almost all the peaks and mountains near Marshal Li Grad, knocking out all signal sources. Afterwards, his destroyers entered low-Earth orbit and conducted a long-term survey of the entire planet.
After an hour's bombing warning, another round of exploratory bombing was conducted on Marshal Li's barracks and fortresses on the outskirts of Grad.
This time, conventional warheads were also used. This was of course to warn the defenders that they could switch to more lethal three-phase bombs at any time.
Immediately afterwards, naturally, they persuaded Marshal Li to surrender. The Imperial Army sent an emotional letter of surrender to Marshal Li Golla, which was written by Major General Surmei himself, stating that as long as the defenders surrendered, they could retain all dignity and honor.
, absolutely no one will be mistreated, and even non-human prisoners of war can be guaranteed humanitarian treatment.
Then, Marshal Li Gele's response was only two words: "X bitch!"
Major General Surmei was furious. He was born in a noble family and was an academic. He felt that the people on earth were a bit too unreasonable. If they don't surrender, they wouldn't surrender. Why would they utter vulgar words?
At this point, if he doesn't launch a fierce attack, his prestige as the commander-in-chief of an army will be gone.
Of course, as a cautious and steady academic general, Major General Surmei was not so reckless as to directly parachute soldiers into the urban area of Grand, Marshal Li. He sent half of his troops, two Marine brigades and an armored missile
The artillery brigade parachuted into the wilderness 50 kilometers away from the city, opened up a standard ground fan formation, and methodically established a headquarters, artillery positions, field hospitals and maintenance stations.
It has to be said that although this steady approach seems too cautious and inefficient, it will not go wrong. If a group of crazy wild beasts had not suddenly launched an attack, these engineering constructions would have laid a solid foundation for the Yaochi strategy, right?
They are a group of beasts with carapace on their backs, hoof-shaped feet that are good at running, and are close to mammoths in size but with tusks. In this holy land planet, they should live in the ecological chain of wolves. Unfortunately, due to
When the war began, the natural history commissioners from the Galactic Civilization Council did not come over and could not conduct more detailed biological research.
Therefore, the Empire really did not expect that the carapace of these things could actually block bullets.
They never expected that Brigadier General Mobisu, who was in charge of the construction, would be shot in the head by a cold gun that came out of nowhere during the melee.
After the imperial army wiped out the herd, they also found the dead body of the Laitalin general in the seven-to-eight landing engineering camp. Half of his head was ripped off by a cold gun, and there was still a trace of blood on his face.
There was shock and regret in his eyes, which made people feel frightened just by looking at them.
Among the senior officers and important personnel who also died in the cold gunfire were a colonel, a lieutenant colonel, two majors, and four senior sergeants in charge of technical work.
The Jaegers immediately launched an all-out search, but no definite clues were obtained from thermal imaging and biological trace restoration. It was not until the fleet's chief navigator, Colonel Arianne Einach, landed on the surface in person and played a cameo role as a psychic detective.
It was finally determined that the enemy snipers should have landed from the coast 15 kilometers away from the camp.
After the attack was completed, they quickly evacuated and have now escaped into the sea.
The Imperial Hunters were now preparing to change into deep-sea equipment and continue the pursuit.
But before they had finished changing their equipment, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance. The giant thing in the sea, like an island, let out a long cry like an ancient bell, and then disappeared into the blue.
among the waves.
The imperial soldiers shuddered one after another. They all couldn't help but feel that at that moment, this blue sea full of vitality seemed a little bit restrained inexplicably.
The forward base still needs to be repaired, but it will probably need to be moved to another location, and it must be on alert.
As a result, the nearly 20,000 imperial soldiers could only stay away from the coastline in disgrace and embarrassment, found a new base location, and prepared to set up a cordon and establish basic monitoring equipment.
There is no way, if the camp is only halfway built and is attacked by crazy beasts, the blow to the morale of the army will definitely be devastating.
However, before the surveillance and defense equipment of the camp could be set up, that night, the earthlings' night attack began.
It was obvious that the warships in the orbit of the planet were already controlling the surrounding fields around the clock, but the Earthlings' army still found their way into their camp and sneaked in through the surveillance network that had not yet been closed.
...Well, strictly speaking, they are not Earthlings, they are just a group of sand people, indigenous people conquered by Earthlings.
Generally speaking, for these natives who have just surrendered to primitive society, the empire has always regarded them as large livestock, and will spend almost no effort to collect information about the sand people. It will not know that in the past year,
Here, the sand civilian troops have built several caves for hiding soldiers at a depth of 500 meters underground in the wilderness near Marshal Li Golla, and connected them with a dense tunnel network.
A company of sand civilian troops had been hiding in the cave where soldiers were hidden. They started underground civil engineering work overnight and dug until they reached the vicinity of the Imperial Army camp before launching the attack.
The newly repaired maintenance platform and warehouse were blown up, and five ATATs were destroyed. Six semi-automatic fire support vehicles were implanted with viruses and began to attack indiscriminately. They immediately ignited a transport landing ship that had just landed fully loaded with ammunition and energy.
.
The sand people company retreated as soon as they came, and retreated along the way they came. They also blew up all the caves and tunnels where soldiers were hiding, and disappeared into the boundless wilderness like ghosts.
This group of imperial troops can indeed be considered elite. It only took them an hour to completely restore order in the camp. After counting, it was found that the losses were not large. There were only 127 people killed in battle and more than 300 injured. The burned supplies and
The equipment is also within acceptable range.
However, for the Imperial Army soldiers who had just achieved a glorious victory in the Ring of Miracles, it was an intolerable humiliation.
Brigadier General Mando, who took over from Brigadier General Mobius to direct the early landing campaign, was a Wolfgang Brigadier with a bad temper. He roared loudly at the messy camp and the disgraced officers.
"This is not kicking my ass! This is clearly a slap in the face of Commander Suermei! No, this is clearly giving eye drops to His Highness King Su! How can you accept such humiliation?"
So, the three regiments of stormtroopers began a mighty pursuit!
However, before the pursuing troops saw Marshal Li's fortress on the outskirts of Grad, an ATAT charging at the front was hit by a rail artillery shell that came from nowhere. Immediately afterwards, a
A platoon of violent plasma cannonballs also roared in, falling like heavy rain on the ranks of soldiers, and immediately turned into a high-temperature energy vortex.
This is so unscientific! Why didn't we find the enemy's artillery position? Have those space rats in planet orbit taken too much moon candy? The frontline commander said it was difficult to understand.
Immediately give the order to retreat.
But at this time, another large string of spider mines jumped out from the waist-high grass, from the mounds of the platform, and from the cracks in the rocks, and kept exploding at the feet of the soldiers.
These thumb-sized spider mines are actually difficult to cause fatal injuries to Imperial stormtroopers wearing mechas, but they are very likely to tear apart the enemy's leg and ankle armor, or directly knock out the mecha's engine.
, directly depriving the imperial soldiers of their mobility.
And we all know that on the battlefield, a soldier who has lost his mobility often needs two or more friendly troops to take care of him.
The imperial commander called for bombing support from orbit and finally retreated with the soldiers.
Brigadier General Mando counted the number of people and found that an ambush had resulted in the loss of one ATAT and three hover tanks, and the number of casualties exceeded 800 people.
In this way, three days before the Empire's landing, they had already suffered four-digit casualties before they even had time to touch Marshal Li's city defenses in Grale.
