According to Li Jianfeng's deduction, once the seven armed escort spacecraft carrying most of the crew of the 1st Landing Air Brigade take off, they will inevitably trigger a strong reaction from Anhe Company, and it will be inevitable to send a large army to encircle and suppress them.
The 4th Army and Air Brigade, which had previously stopped advancing due to concerns and suspicions, will also come again to kill the generals.
The 1st Army and Air Brigade, which has been depleted of personnel, will face unprecedented pressure. The defenders headed by Zhou Yun must defend the station for 5 days. Only in this way can they ensure that the seven armed escort spacecraft can enter the "golden force" that came to respond. The star field controlled by the joint fleet headed by "Miao".
Afterwards, the combined fleet will escort it into the Mars military port.
Only when the above goals are achieved can the mission of instigating the 1st Army and Air Brigade be finally completed.
Therefore, the success of the entire rebellion mission depends on whether the adherents led by Zhou Yun can complete the set tasks as planned.
Every soldier knew that this mission was a death-defying operation, and the hope of survival was very slim, but they still devoted themselves to the battlefield without hesitation.
Be persistent.
They firmly believe that their sacrifice will enable tens of thousands of people to escape safely and then enter the embrace of light.
The holding force led by Zhou Yun has about 1,500 personnel, more than 40% of whom are marines with rich combat experience, and 30% of whom are crew members of the armed escort spacecraft. They are proficient in piloting the spacecraft and operating various attack types on the spacecraft. weapons, and the rest are space vehicle pilots.
There are more than 80 armed escort spacecraft in the 1st Land and Air Brigade that failed to take off. They are the core of its entire combat sequence. However, in order to reduce the target and confuse the Dark River Company, and also to cover the ships of the 1st Land and Air Brigade as much as possible, Li Jianfeng only requested to take off 7 of them, which also resulted in a large number of spacecraft being abandoned.
An indisputable fact is that these more than 80 armed escort spacecraft are themselves war machines, and if used properly, unexpected gains can be achieved.
But there is a serious problem: driving an armed escort spacecraft and operating its weapon system requires a minimum of 50 crew members. Although there are about 450 armed escort spacecraft crew members among the defenders, they can be distributed to 80 spacecraft, with a maximum of 50 crew members. Only 9 spaceships could be launched into the air and put into battle, accounting for a little more than one-tenth of the total.
But it is not all a negative side. The two remaining space vehicle formations can actually operate at full strength, with a number of 200.
In addition, Zhou Yun can also command 200 heavily equipped combat flying mechas, more than 5,800 multi-functional drones and more than 6,600 armed robots.
The above will be all the capital Zhou Yun uses to hold on to the 1st Land and Air Brigade.
In order to cope with the upcoming war, Zhou Yun made the following arrangements.
She divided the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade into three lines of defense. The first line of defense was about 50 kilometers away from the station. This line of defense was deployed separately on land and in the air.
On the ground, two trenches were built on the only road leading to the 1st Land and Air Brigade. The trenches were in the shape of an "eight", each about 60 meters long and 5 meters deep. They were dug along both sides of the road with exits. , wait for the enemy to enter and launch an ambush.
In addition to deploying a large number of marines and armed robots, defensive laser weapons, anti-aircraft and anti-armor weapons will also be deployed in the trenches.
In addition, 1,000 multi-functional drones and 3 armed escort spacecraft were deployed in the high altitude on the left and right sides of the "eight"-shaped trench for fire support. If an enemy fighter plane encounters a surprise attack, they will be located within the second line of defense. space vehicles will also be put into combat immediately.
The second line of defense is located near the entrance and wall of the 1st Army and Air Brigade. Relying on its original defense system, Zhou Yun deployed approximately 50 heavily equipped combat flying mechas, 200 marines, and 3,000 armed robots.
Another 100 heavily equipped combat flying mechas, more than 3,000 multi-functional drones and all 200 space vehicles have been deployed in the air. They will always be suspended in the air. In addition to providing fire support for ground troops, they will also attack the enemy. Strike air targets.
In addition, once the second line of defense falls into a state of anxiety, three armed escort spacecraft will immediately take off to suppress the ground and air with powerful firepower to ensure that the enemy is immediately within the second line of defense.
be wiped out.
It should be noted that the reason why the armed escort spacecraft cannot take off in advance is because the target is too large. Once it leaves the defense range of ground air defense firepower, it is extremely vulnerable to enemy long-range missiles and laser weapons.
In addition, the defensive force led by Zhou Yun can only stick to the vicinity of the 1st Land and Air Brigade station, which greatly limits the mobility and performance of the armed escort spacecraft.
So, how to fight?
How to maximize its effect? It needs to be treated with caution.
From the current point of view, there is nothing wrong with Zhou Yun's deployment of the armed escort spacecraft.
This is due to her knowledge of this type of spacecraft and her experience as the commander of the Fourth Armed Escort Spacecraft Squadron of the Expeditionary Fleet.
The third line of defense is located at the combat command center of the 1st Army and Air Brigade, where the remaining 100 Marines, 50 heavily equipped combat flying mechas, 800 multi-functional drones and 1,500 armed robots are concentrated.
The symbolic significance of holding on here is far greater than the practical significance. Once the enemy advances here, it will prove that the 1st Army and Air Brigade has completely fallen.
The purpose of staying here is very clear, that is, to delay as much time as possible and buy enough time for the seven armed escort spacecraft to take off.
This is also the value and goal of this mission.
Everything is ready, just waiting for a strong enemy to attack.
It was night, the wind was roaring, the rain was pouring, and the roaring thunder was mixed with violent lightning, so that the entire 1st Army and Air Brigade station was shrouded in rain and lightning.
Zhou Yun stood by the window, staring at the hellish lightning and thunder outside the window, and fell into deep thought...
Just now, she received a secret telegram from Li Jianfeng. In the secret telegram, she was told that after discovering seven armed escort spacecraft of the 1st Army and Air Brigade taking off, Anhe Company immediately dispatched a large army to encircle and suppress them.
This army consists of 15 armed escort spacecraft and 2,000 space vehicles. Each armed escort spacecraft has 500 marines, 200 heavily equipped combat flying mechas, and 1,000 armed robots. Its total strength reaches An unprecedented 100,000 people.
Not to mention the strength and firepower configuration of the 15 armed escort spaceships, just one is enough to rival the holding force led by Zhou Yun.
In addition to this large army, the 4th Army and Air Brigade, which had stalled before, rushed towards the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade under the order of Anhe Company.
At this moment, Zhou Yun's mood can be described as mixed, including awe for the upcoming war, but also longing and expectations for the future...
After the war, she didn't know if she had a future?
But what she can be sure of is that her most beloved person, Liu Hanyang, will definitely have a future. His safe departure is the most gratifying thing for her.
I have no regrets in this life and my work is enough.
Suddenly, the surveillance personnel's voice rang in Zhou Yun's ears, and she was told that a small plane had broken into the sky above the station.
Zhou Yun's first reaction was that this was a reconnaissance plane from Dark River Company, and she realized that the war was about to begin.
But the subsequent report was beyond her expectation. The pilot of the small plane claimed to be from Lu Weicheng's flagship and requested permission to land.
Zhou Yun felt an inexplicable worry and uneasiness in her heart, and she hoped that her guess was wrong.
In subsequent detections, it was confirmed that the small aircraft indeed came from Lu Weicheng's flagship.
Three minutes later, the small plane landed. When the guards took the driver into the wartime command center of Zhou Yun's 1st Army and Air Brigade, she was instantly stunned...
The visitor turned out to be Liu Hanyang.
After being knocked unconscious by Zhou Yun with sedatives, under her arrangement, he was sent to Lu Weicheng, and then took off with the seven armed escort spacecraft.
Perhaps the dose of sedatives was not enough, or perhaps his strong willpower awakened him. He repeatedly asked Lu Weicheng to allow him to return to the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade.
Under his earnest and tireless pleading, Lu Weicheng was finally moved and agreed to his request to return to the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade.
Zhou Yun cried. Being able to take a look at Liu Hanyang before the war was the greatest gift from God, but it also meant that none of them could escape from here.
Perhaps, this will be their final destination.
"Didn't we vow to be together forever? Have you forgotten?" Liu Hanyang walked into Zhou Yun and said with a smile.
Her tears welled up again, like a little girl who had done something wrong, lowering her head and getting into his open, oncoming arms.
He hugged her tightly, and at this moment, tears of excitement fell down.
"Promise me, Yun, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what the circumstances, we will never be separated, no matter life or death!"
"I...I promise you, Hanyang!"
Happiness and sweetness rippled in the hearts of the two of them, as if they had surpassed love.
Suddenly, a rapid siren sounded, and the wartime command center was instantly enveloped in the light of dazzling red police lights.
Monitoring personnel reported that two large-scale armies were rushing toward the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade...
One of them comes from the headquarters of Anhe Company, and the other is from the 4th Army and Air Brigade.
