Him and their stars

Chapter 1473 True Miracle Ring Battle

Of course, it is impossible for Yang Xiyi's fleet to receive real-time news from all fronts at any time like the mainland.

They would not even know that the Ring of Miracles (land) battle, which had been prepared for a long time, was about to begin.

At this time, the Yang fleet was still forced to hide and seek. Although they could still hold on, the defenders of Yaochi were still holding on. The Yulian fleet in the Galaxy mainland was still confronting the main fleet of the empire in the far shore nebula. The Bonaparte fleet had returned. Nantianmen, and President Nishita's delegation has just arrived at the middle section of the Grand High Sea Channel, and is preparing to rest for a day and night in Sunny City, which is like spring all year round.

They just knew that the empire was gathering forces several times its own, commanded by the famous General Orosha, to prepare for a general attack on the Ring of Miracles.

However, what they don't know is that in fact, as of November 20, the empire has deployed 26 divisions on several continental plates in the Ring of Miracles, and the total strength has actually reached six times that of the earth's defenders.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of these armies, Marshal Farrell, who succeeded Queen Brunhilt as the commander of the New World Theater, mobilized a large number of Imperial Alliance troops and even the empire's main fleet to ensure the smooth flow of supply routes.

The New World version of "Ten Battles and Ten Battles" played by Yang Fleet while playing hide and seek, indeed destroyed and captured more than 10% of the Imperial Army's military supplies. More than 20,000 Imperial Marines, along with the destroyed troop transport, turned into dust among the stars.

But even so, the 600,000-strong army still crossed the vast sea of ​​​​stars from the empire's mainland to the Ring of Miracles, and arrived at the greatest creation of the Enlightened One in the history of civilization and exploration of this generation.

Some of the troops who came earlier even imitated the other people on earth and started construction, building roads, bridges, ships, and even fishing and farming.

This is of course very reasonable. Among the 600,000-strong army, less than half are truly units belonging to the Galactic Empire's army system, and only one-third are human soldiers.

The rest of the huge Imperial Army troops are a bit like a museum of intelligent races. There are also many herbivorous ethnic groups who are good at farming, such as the Gomblin people, the Angmans people, the Pagel people, and the Razakai people.

As for the 100,000 Community defenders trapped on Continent 1, they have no ability to prevent the Empire from landing.

After the 20th, the empire's huge combat troops began to enter the No. 1 continent one after another and spread out in front of the defense line of the Community defenders.

Of course, it is not that the defenders of the Community have not tried to fight back. But they are now trapped in a corner of the man-made continent, with no backup, and neither troops nor heavy weapons can be replenished. Ammunition, energy and firearms must be produced locally by the pioneers. We all know that military strength is the same as funds. Once it is stretched, it must be used with caution. It is a snake and a mouse, and the effect will naturally be hard to describe.

In two months, Lieutenant General Seyo organized his troops to launch no less than 20 counterattacks, but each time the number of troops dispatched was tens of thousands. Then, the imperial army, which had been well prepared, used its superior force to push back.

After losing their troops and generals, the defenders had no choice but to give up their plan to take the initiative to attack.

They can only confirm now that they should still have caused a considerable degree of tactical damage to the empire.

At least it shouldn't be more than our own losses, probably...

"If we had chosen to attack across the board, the effect might have been better." Lieutenant General Sayot said to his chief of staff, Major General Watt Lall.

"Yes, they will win for a while first, then the front will be stretched, and finally they will be wiped out." Major General Lal laughed, but his words were not polite at all.

Lieutenant General Saiyo also laughed: "Ah hahaha! Indeed, he will definitely die miserably. But, what about now?"

Major General Lal stopped laughing and looked at the defense line in front of him. This is a very tight three-dimensional defense front, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with changeable terrain. It was built entirely in accordance with the concept of "Defense Omnipotence". It is actually an irregular arc spanning 170 kilometers, covering a rugged valley in the southeast corner of continental plate No. 1.

This is actually the Blue Star Community, the last stand in the Circle of Miracles.

"Our attack is not without strategic progress. At least, it successfully covered us and built this line of defense." Major General Lal said with a smile.

Behind the defense line is a valley covering an area of ​​more than 20,000 square kilometers. Within the valley, there are dense water networks, fertile land and dense vegetation. Surrounding the fertile soil of the basin are steep and rugged mountains, making the terrain easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the agricultural era, Duoduo was the chosen foundation that could accommodate millions of people, the industry of overlord.

As for the further back of the valley, it is already the edge of this continental plate.

Right in front of the defense line, the dark imperial army was slowly advancing. Various huge armored vehicles walked among the soldiers' lines, like a group of monsters that chose people to devour.

However, what is interesting is that although the frontal ground troops are out of sight, no flying objects can be seen in the sky. This is naturally because the battlefield we are in is an "artificial" world after all, and the highest "sky" is less than three thousand meters. Even a small single-seat airship used in the atmosphere will hit the dome above if the rudder is pulled even slightly, let alone multi-purpose fighters and armored gunboats.

Smaller drones may have some use, but it's not time for them to attack now, so naturally they can't be seen.

As a result, the defense line that the community defenders had spent considerable effort to build suddenly seemed a bit impregnable.

"Probably, I can hold on for a while longer. Maybe two weeks?" Major General Lal was still quite proud.

After all, this more than 100 kilometers of defense line was built entirely in accordance with the "Defense Theory of Omnipotence", and many of the projects were very sophisticated. He also put in a lot of effort to finish it successfully.

"I'm so stupid, really. In fact, no matter how we built the fortifications, we were trapped to death." Lieutenant General Seyo showed a look of regret: "I should have followed Yang's suggestion from the beginning and put 100,000 The army broke into pieces and attacked in all directions. There are more than 10,000 continental plates in this miracle ring, which is enough for us to fight everywhere."

"You know, this is almost impossible to do. If we break away from the defense line, our only advantage will be gone. By then, 80% of the soldiers will be eliminated or surrender within three days. And in this process, the loss we will cause to the empire will be minimal." Major General Lal said.

This statement sounds a bit embarrassing, but it is indeed reality. With the combat effectiveness of the Community Marines, they can hold on for a while relying on the defense line, but once they engage in mobile combat, how can they be the opponent of the Imperial Armored Grenadier with the bonus of the Astral Knights?

Of course, after a big war, some elite or lucky soldiers may escape and ascend to heaven, but if they can get even 10%, it will be considered a high price, and the organization level will drop to zero, and they can no longer be regarded as organized. The defenders were gone.

"So, what now? Just to live for two more weeks?"

"Perhaps we can rely on a solid defense line to kill more enemies. Sir, you chose the former, and we all agree with you. At this time, stop worrying about gains and losses." Major General Lal said.

Lieutenant General Seyo also forced a smile: "Chief of Staff, I suddenly discovered that you are really good at analysis and good at making people confident! Is this because you have been a diplomat?"

Major General Walter Rall suddenly showed a strange expression, with a hint of nostalgia and a hint of lingering fear: "That was an unforgettable experience. Compared with the previous ambassador to the empire, you are already very reasonable. I hope Let’s start well and end well.”

"For soldiers, this is a good home." Lieutenant General Seyo nodded slightly: "But, Chief of Staff, I think..."

What interrupted the conversation between the two was the communication from the frontline observation post.

"Sir, the armored robots of the Imperial Army have begun a group charge. They are T-type, but they are new models!"

At this moment, the two of them suddenly felt a biting chill, accompanied by a shuddering scream, as if it was the biting cold wind from winter.

However, here in the Circle of Miracles, there is always only a fresh breeze mixed with the smell of grass and earth.

"Please invite Major General Mallowan...and Colonel Long Yuan to come over." Lieutenant General Seyo said solemnly.

At this time, it was 14:30 mainland time on November 26, Miracle Ring One.

As for Galaxy Standard Time, both offense and defense no longer care.

In the Ring of Miracles galaxy, the huge Vulcan Ai Ran has been slowly cruising over the No. 1 continental plate. Marshal Farrell stood on the flagship, overlooking the square land where green and blue intersected through the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows.

He has been here for half a year. However, no matter how many times he came, he could never believe that such a mythical creature would actually come to his time.

These continents suspended in the sky are more beautiful than all the gems, and have sacred miracles. If they do not all belong to the great sacred Galactic Empire, it must be the mistake of this world.

Now, the only flaw is the remnants of the 100,000 community members on Block 1. They were squeezed, or automatically retreated to a valley in the corner of the mainland that was suitable for defense, and resisted stubbornly.

In the eyes of Marshal Farrell, in front of his own mighty army, it is like a pebble before a huge wave, which will be completely swallowed up at any time.

It's a pity, this is the Ring of Miracles, and no one knows whether powerful orbital bombing will cause structural damage to these man-made continental plates. As a result, the more than two hundred large and small warships concentrated in the galaxy, including one Titan and three Dreadnoughts, can now only eat a melon.

Just when Marshal Farrell actually asked the attendant to bring him a plate of cantaloupe and a glass of champagne, the adjutant also walked over slowly: "Marshal, the report from Admiral Orosa has already begun."

The first to launch the attack were more than 10,000 Imperial T200 assault robots. This robot is about as tall as an adult man's chest and looks more like an alpaca without a long head and neck. It can switch between wheeled and hydraulic-footed modes of action. It can carry a thick alloy armor plate, a small force field shield generator, a Vulcan cannon and a blaster cannon, and propel it up to 60 kilometers.

They gathered together and began to charge towards the frontal defense group of the Earth Army. At first glance, it looked a bit like a steel torrent version of the cavalry wall charge.

However, even a well-trained war horse may still make mistakes, but robots have no such problem at all.

After the robot group charge, there was an armored grenadier division and two "Imperial Alliance Army" divisions from the Kingdom of Ent and the Grand Duchy of Angmans.

Regardless of the two clumsy and dull Imperial Army divisions who were only worthy of being used as cannon fodder, the 6th Panzergrenadier Division from the Galactic Empire showed a surprising battle formation.

These elite soldiers wearing thick power armor did not adopt the usual dense formation, but dispersed the formation on the spot. The distance between each soldier was more than 5 meters, scattered among various robots and armored vehicles. Under cross cover, advance slowly.

This formation tactic is an offensive formation that General Orosa redesigned based on the community's new defense tactics after carefully considering the Battle of Onomia and the earlier Battle of New Yumen during the Judgment War.

The general, who was born as an ordinary civilian, once brought a handwritten copy of "The Theory of Defense Almighty" in front of his officers and told them that it was finally time for tactical innovation.

At that time, the military and political leader of the New World was Brunhilt, King of Sulyuka, and Farrell was still just an admiral.

"Genius will always force the arrival of tactical innovation. Unfortunately, our most dangerous enemy is such a genius." General Orosha opened the cover of the paper and displayed the name of the main author.

"Aha, it's really him!" Brunhildt smiled, very pleased, and even smiled in a sweet and girlish way.

General Orosha couldn't help but think of some scandals, and suddenly shuddered, feeling that he couldn't think about it any longer, and hurriedly said: "If we still use the usual army tactics, we may suffer a massacre. Just like It’s like the Battle of Onomia.”

Farrell, who was still a general at the time, was also an enlightened figure. Of course he agreed in principle, but he also raised doubts: "However, time is limited after all..."

"Then give enough time to train new tactics. I have plenty of patience." King Suliuka interrupted: "Since you have seen the direction of innovation, then go for it. If the army of the vassal country cannot keep up, just start with armor. Start with the grenadiers, they’re good at following orders!”

Looking back now, the reason why His Highness Brünnhilt agreed to this tactical reform may not be entirely based on military considerations. However, her support was indeed uncompromising. Not only did she provide a large number of troops, she also withstood the Generalissimo's order to advance the general offensive.

Marshal Farrell and Admiral Orosa said that putting aside some embarrassing scandals, it was indeed their honor to dedicate their hearts to such His Highness.

However, no matter how effective this tactic is in drills and exercises, it is still the first time it has been put into actual combat. Moreover, even if they are elite and brave soldiers such as the Imperial Panzergrenadiers, even if they have undergone many trainings, commotion and mistakes will inevitably occur during the advancement process.

When the distant fire built by the community in the rear falls on the camp, casualties will naturally occur.

The community's long-range fire was not prepared to attack the charging robots at all, but was extended to the imperial division's military formation behind them. It should be that they wanted to use the firepower stage robots to attack the cluster and connect with the stormtroopers.

"Stay steady and keep moving forward!" the junior officers of the Panzer Grenadier shouted to their subordinates.

The Panzergrenadiers, who had long been accustomed to obeying orders and suffering casualties, took less than half a minute to calm down and move on. They have actually felt that after this round of shelling, their losses are actually much smaller than before.

If a certain "military genius" who "wrote" "The Theory of Defense Almighty" were here, he would definitely lament that his enemies are evolving so fast. In just a few years, it has evolved from the Thirty Years' War to the era of the Napoleonic Wars, and now it has touched upon the French Army reforms in the late nineteenth century.

As for the situation of the two Imperial Association military advisors, it was a little miserable. Nearly a thousand people were taken away by shelling on the spot, and then a hundred people were killed by the supervising team, so they had to continue to move forward crying.

At this moment, the assaulting robot cluster also entered the defenders' crossfire network.

At 15:12 Galaxy Standard Time, the armies of both sides had just come into contact, and they immediately entered a fierce battle. Immediately afterwards, the battle report of the first five minutes of the battle between the two sides was quickly sent to Marshal Farrell of the Vulcan Airan.

"The attack is not going well? The number of killed in the Sixth Division has exceeded a thousand? Sixteen ATATs were destroyed?"

The marshal did not ask about the robot's losses. This T200 combat robot looked very advanced, but it was actually cheaper than a single-soldier mecha. He also did not ask about the casualties of the Imperial Alliance Army. As we all know, the life of cannon fodder is actually cheaper than that of robots.

"Should we let the Astral Knights..." Chief of Staff Admiral Thremmo was about to make a suggestion when he was interrupted by Marshal Farrell: "Admiral Orosha is the former enemy commander. On the other hand, he is better than the former enemy in land warfare. You and I are much more professional! Now that the Astral Knight is under his control, it will naturally be his decision."

"clear."

"Also, tell Admiral Orosha that from now on, I don't want casualty numbers, just victory!"

"Understood!" After the adjutant left to deliver the order.

Chief of Staff Thelemmer opened a new report.

"The Maytig fleet came to report that the Yang fleet destroyed the 121 supply fleet escorted by the Gomblins 48 hours ago, and then escaped again."

"...Tsk, tell me, what should I do with this slippery magician?" Marshal Farrell showed a headache.

The chief of staff continued: "There is also Yaochi..."

"Oh, it was defeated?" The marshal's expression was neither sad nor happy.

"Driven back again. This time another high-ranking officer was killed."

"Old man, you are really a genius at making people think!"

"This is one of the few shortcomings of a lower official."
