Even if he knew that the troops he had piled up the entire front might not be able to penetrate the steel wall-like defense line of the Thirteenth Assault Legion, even if he knew that the slave troops were simply incapable of continuing to provide effective cover for the Qien soldiers, even if he knew This battle has gone from an imagined interlude to a bloody see-saw that no one wants to see.
The commander of the outer ring of the empire, Zobagis, still could not make up his mind to give up his unrealistic illusions and let the heavy military group that had finally been gathered disperse again to make a long-term plan.
The continuous attacks and bombings, charges and counterattacks lasted for three days and three nights. The 13th Assault Regiment, which was forced to use all its strength, had to move its position towards the enemy due to the increasingly fierce artillery fire and the crazy enemies. Then they retreated more than ten kilometers.
But for the well-prepared SUPP soldiers, this is just a move from one dilapidated fortress group to another brand-new solid fortress group, and a retreat from one completely destroyed line of defense to another indestructible line of defense. The enemy retreated as expected, and the replenishment of supplies and soldiers was maintained in very good condition due to the People's Federation's air superiority.
Zobagis, who had nothing to lose, was like a gambler who was risking his life and fortune. With red eyes, he forcefully ordered the offensive troops who had lost their edge to follow up one after another, trying to break the sword in order to bite Joseph. Colonel and the Thirteenth Legion were the strong backbone, otherwise he would not have been able to deliver such a disgraceful battle report to the emperor.
There is no doubt that this arrogant commander now believes the legend widely circulated in the galaxy, or the fact that humans, the main race of the United Nations on Earth, have been fighting each other for thousands of years before entering the stars. As soon as they learned how to use fire, the brutal war never stopped.
Although the emergence of xenophilic thoughts has caused this race, which still has a violent nature in its bones, to put down its butcher knife and instead adopt a posture of friendly integration with alien races throughout the galaxy, their intermittently aggressive nature still makes the ground The few countries surrounding the Union that have not yet been peacefully merged remain vigilant.
Humanity is one of the few races in the galaxy that truly understands the art of war, and as the Human Federation, which has carried forward mankind's military traditions since ancient times to the extreme, it is also a leader in this field - this has been criticized by many civilized empires. Military strategists and generals doubted it, but for Zobagis, his attitude towards whether humans can fight this has changed from disdain to being very sure.
Because no matter how he deploys his troops, the opponent's commander can always find the tactics to restrain himself as quickly as possible and seize the opportunity to stop at the right moment.
Not to mention that the gap in command level cannot be leveled in a short time. What worries Zobagis most is the two new types of equipment displayed by the People's Alliance Army in this battle-highly humanoid combat robots and A small shield that can be equipped to a single individual. They gave the enemy infantry unparalleled combat power in battle, and also greatly protected the enemy's vital forces from surviving devastating fire strikes.
What is certain is that without the existence of these two, the icon representing the Thirteenth Assault Regiment would have been completely wiped off the map by him.
But judging from the previous battles with the Sixth and Seventh Legions, even the main force of the People's Federation has not yet installed such powerful new equipment. Then why is the Thirteenth Army, which was converted from the Colonial Legion, better than the main force? What about completing the installation earlier?
Zobagis, who was suddenly startled by his own thoughts, frantically searched for reports on the movements of the People's Alliance troops from the river bank defenders and the intelligence department in the past few days. Finally, his four eyes widened and he stuck out his tongue in despair, facing Looking at the Seventh Legion icon that suddenly changed its position on the projection, he said to himself: "It's over..."
...
"It's over! Haha, these idiots from the Qien Empire never thought that the Lieutenant General's plan from the beginning was not to eliminate the river bank defenders, but to counter-encircle the millions of legions that came to attack our army's flanks!"
The federal colonel in charge of commanding the 7th Assault Regiment took a picture of the map and shouted cheerfully: "Let the front-line troops fight me hard! Don't save ammunition, inform Lieutenant Colonel Wenshe, who is commanding the armored forces, that friendly forces near the equator have begun to launch attacks." Coordinate the offensive. When he takes the retreat of millions of enemy troops, we can join up with Colonel Joseph's troops!"
Following the colonel's order, thousands of heavy tanks and countless mechanized infantry galloped wantonly on the endless plains. In front of the armored troops was the enemy's weakest and even defenseless flank. There were almost no Facing any effective resistance, they ran headlong into the encirclement of millions of Qien Empire's legions.
In other words, they and the Thirteenth Assault Regiment in turn surrounded the million-strong army of the Qien Empire.
When the eyes of the large number of frightened Qian soldiers and the Thoth slave soldiers who were expressionless but trembling slightly due to instinct flashed with the dazzling red light of the tank's laser main gun firing, the officer responsible for intercepting the Seventh Army could not have imagined that these How did humans kill half of the legion's position in just one lunch time?
After more than two hundred years, the torrent of steel once again demonstrated its invincible charm to military observers and media people across the galaxy. The highly mechanized troops were as unimpeded as prairie cavalry on the plains, unable to find even a single enemy. , the biggest enemy that hindered their advancement turned out to be the difficult and dangerous terrain that appeared from time to time.
Just when the commander of the Imperial Legion naively thought that he could use natural obstacles such as rivers and mountains to stop the Seventh Legion just like his colleagues blocked the Sixth Legion, he used rapid bridging equipment and explosive particulate explosives to directly open the road. The People's Alliance Army told them what true military speed is.
Perhaps the Seventh Army does not have robots to cover the infantry, nor does it have individual shields to protect the lives of soldiers without blind spots, but the thick armor of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as powerful main guns and machine guns, are still the Seventh Army's most reliable partners. , Navy assault boats and small gunboats flying close to the ground are also keeping an eye on high-value targets on the ground for them, making it easier for the army to divide its troops to deal with them.
The Federal Legion's aura of blocking the God of Killing completely confused the Imperial Legion's command. They wanted to contact Commander Zobagis for help, but the communications sent to the headquarters never received a positive response, which made While they were disappointed, they became even more convinced that they had been abandoned.
Finally, after the fierce but disorderly blocking battle lasted for dozens of hours, the armored troops of the Seventh Army, the Thirteenth Assault Army led by Colonel Joseph Magellan, and the Sixteenth Army came to support through the equatorial defense line. It was no longer difficult to maintain contact between the various imperial legions surrounded by the Assault Legion on three sides. One after another, the positions that were still resisting entered a state of losing contact with the command level.
The extreme shortage of equipment and ammunition caused the once arrogant Qin Empire army to lose its final will to fight, and large-scale surrenders and routs began. Often before the armored troops of the Seventh Army can reach their faces, the defenders and soldiers responsible for position defense will raise the white flag early, hoping that this flag, which represents surrender to humans, can protect their own little territory. Life.
It is much better to become a prisoner of war than to be killed on the spot by these cruel human armies. Only the insane inner circle people will believe such nonsense as "fight until the last moment, otherwise you will lose your honor as a soldier". These poor people from the outer ring don't care about any bullshit honors. The most important thing is to be able to go back alive to see their family and friends.
The long-standing political issues within the empire that had never been taken seriously became the last straw that broke the camel's back at this moment - the grassroots troops had no loyalty to their emperor and parliament at all, if not for joining the army. After receiving fairly good treatment and being a soldier who was very popular in peacetime, they would not choose to join the army at all.
Finally, sixty hours after the Seventh Army launched a lightning attack, Qian Empire Army General Kosahir, who was in charge of this million-sized army, represented his men who were still resisting with difficulty, and the more than 800,000 people who had surrendered The soldiers formally submitted a declaration of surrender to Army Lieutenant General Wolfgang, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Theater of the Human Federation.
"As long as your country can ensure that the lives and dignity of the surrendered soldiers under my command are not disturbed, I, Ikarim-Kosahir, am willing to initiate a surrender on behalf of the imperial officers and soldiers who are still insisting or have not yet formally surrendered to your army. .”
In the footage of countless galactic media, General Kosahir, who was wearing the armor of the general of the Qin Empire, bowed slightly to Colonel Joseph, who had his hands on the armed belt at his waist, and handed over his saber inlaid with the family emblem and precious gems. He expressed his sincere admiration for the bloody battles of the Thirteenth Assault Regiment in recent days.
And after the relevant personnel confirmed that the Federal Legion would treat all prisoners of war fairly, the general, who was called "the shame of the empire" by the frustrated Commander Zobagis, committed suicide by taking poison in his single cell. Show your loyalty to the imperial family.
At this point, the first confrontation between the Human Federation and the Qien Empire on Tianxi Star ended with the complete victory of the Human Federation. The Federation Legion annihilated and captured over a million Qian Imperial Army troops with less than 100,000 losses, and also gained thousands of square kilometers of territory and the initiative in the entire battle. The Galaxy had not witnessed such a wonderful battle for a long time. Countries were greatly shocked.
The Z-1 combat robot and individual ion shield, which shined in the battle, also entered the sight of many civilized empires in the galaxy.
Unlike major powers that began to secretly develop their own personal shields, some civilized empires that lacked scientific research capabilities or had ample resources found the supplier of these equipment after several inquiries - a company called the Star Group on the ruined planet Fenhabennis. private companies issued a flurry of orders to them.
So in a situation where everyone is making money, a galaxy appears where only the Qien Empire is injured.
