Counterfeit Hero

Now that the space jump point has been captured, as the Federation fleet cleans up, the landing channels for several immigrant planets are completely opened. The Federation's giant transport ships loaded with Army armored divisions lift off from Milok in an endless stream and enter the Galileo galaxy. The third The mixed fleet and the Newton Galaxy local fleet shouldered the important task of protecting the waterway.

The first, second, and fourth mixed fleet aircraft carrier fighter groups began the first round of air strikes. The main star of the Galileo Galaxy, Lucerne, became the Leray Federation's primary attack target. More than a dozen aircraft carriers from the three huge fleets were nearby. The ground space is like a beehive hanging overhead, constantly spitting out fighters responsible for ground attacks.

The attacks of these fighter planes quickly caused panic among the imperial garrison, and they began to shrink their front. Land-based fighters could not compete with air-based fighters. Although their air ceilings were not far apart, taking off from the ground and diving from the air were completely different. Two different combat methods. In an air battle, land-based fighters will always suffer. Moreover, as a mobile airport, the aircraft carrier can change its position at any time as the war situation requires.

Air superiority is always what must be fought for in war. The side without air superiority will face unlimited attacks from its opponents. However, the air superiority of the Leray Federation cannot be maintained for a long time. After all, the fleets of both sides are in the Galileo system. The fleets of the Gacharin Empire are also constantly receiving reinforcements through space jump points.

What we are watching now is the Army’s performance.

The 16th Armored Division and the 9th Armored Division of the Marine Corps were the first Army Armored Divisions to land after the forceful attack by the aircraft carrier fighter group. The giant transport ship of the 16th Division landed in the eastern hemisphere of the planet Lucerne under the protection of the fighter group. , less than a thousand kilometers away from Wari, the largest industrial city on the planet Lucerne.

The 9th Armored Division landed in a mountain basin one hundred kilometers away from the 16th Division. Here they will establish the largest forward base for the Federation to land on the planet Lucerne, and form an angle with the 16th Division to pull out a line of defense. Provide guarantee for the landing of subsequent troops.

The resistance in Wari City was fierce. The giant transport ship entered the atmosphere several times and was forced to break away again. Lieutenant General Snyder commanded the aircraft carrier fighter group of the First Mixed Fleet, which almost came out in full force. After nearly a day of fighting, it was finally Destroy several missile bases in Wari city.

Without the support of the missile base, the land-based fighter jets of the Gacharin Empire still rose into the sky in groups like crazy, fighting with the federal aircraft carrier fighter group.

This aerial battle lasted for a day and a night. The Federation relied on the powerful electronic attack capabilities of the space electronic attack ship and the desperate battle of the aircraft carrier fighter group to barely create conditions for the giant transport ship to land.

The landed transport ship does not need to take off again. This type of giant transport ship should actually be called a giant landing ship, and many of its devices are detachable. After landing, it can become a huge defensive fortress with a few simple modifications.

After floating fearfully in space for two or three days, the 16th Division's Special Reconnaissance Group finally set foot on solid ground. In the opinion of the Special Reconnaissance Group, although the federal fleet launched similar attacks on all large cities in order to confuse the enemy, Attack, and airdropped countless individual mechas equipped with anti-detection jammers. Moreover, the landing ship also had electronic camouflage protection to avoid being exposed to enemy aerial reconnaissance. But no one can tell when the enemy will discover the landing position of the giant transport ship. By then, the Imperial Army will definitely come out in full force and completely pull out the forward base to eliminate the threat while the Federation's foothold is not stable.

At this time, the two federal armored divisions can be said to be walking on thin ice and persist for twenty-four hours. The subsequent giant landing ships will continuously deliver the army and land-based aviation here, forming a point-to-surface full-line landing. In these twenty-four hours, For many hours, there was no support and they had to rely on the early landing troops themselves.

At this time, division commander Zhou Zhisen finally issued an order, ordering the special reconnaissance group to immediately establish forward observation posts along G1011 to G1070, 500 kilometers away, and the main force established defensive positions on the two highlands of E707 and E710, 400 kilometers away.

The other regiments of the 16th Division were distributed on several highlands distributed in a fan shape around the Special Reconnaissance Regiment. The two supplementary self-propelled artillery regiments were deployed in positions that were not support points for these garrisoned highlands at all! What do you want to do?

The confused special reconnaissance group, led by Nadal, began their operation. They did not know that one of the regiments of the 16th Division had been airdropped directly to a medium-sized enemy base.

*************

The fat man had been looking at the command terminal in confusion for a long time. Under the cover of three large mixed fleets, the planet Lucerne had been riddled with holes. The defense system of the Imperial Army was completely different from that of Milok before. They occupied the city, but they did not Instead of shrinking, every strategic artery was heavily guarded, especially several high-grade highways that ran from east to west, north to south, and large military bases of the Imperial Army were built at the intersections.

The federal army's landing plan is not based on one point at all. Fatty searched for a long time, but could not find the information on the follow-up troops that followed the 16th and 9th divisions to land. What is Russell doing? Is it really only relying on air-based fighters to fight? , are the 16th Division and the 9th Division just bait?

If they are bait, who is the main force to land?

Fatty looked through the information on the Army's 1st Armored Division and the 3rd Armored Division of the Marine Corps. The situation of these two ace armored divisions was exactly the same as that of the 16th Armored Division. They were also in a place where birds lay no eggs but close to large cities. Local landings also had no follow-up from subsequent troops.

There is no more information, and the fat man is a little angry. How long has it been? Russell, an old boy, is still doing such a trick. There is no gradual consolidation from point to point, no frontal defense system, dozens of fully mechanized infantry divisions to cooperate with the Second Army. More than ten armored divisions are distributed in more than twenty unrelated locations in the Eastern Hemisphere. Isn't this looking for death?

The fat man became more and more confused as he read. He had no specific combat plan for the second phase of troop delivery, only the numbers of the landing troops. What clues could be drawn from this? When he thought of the special reconnaissance group being abandoned in Lucerne, and When a consolidated position was not established in the first stage, An Lei had to follow the Intelligence Bureau to the front line. The fat man wanted to chop Russell with a knife. While doing so, he shouted, "I'll let you play guessing games!"

The fat man glanced at Russell secretly, pretended to lean over to pick up the documents, and flicked a new bugging device obtained from Milan into Russell's pocket, thinking, you asked me to deduce the strategic plan. Come on, you didn't say that I can only use deduction and not do anything else. I call this alternative deduction technique. .
