Chapter 79, the overall situation has been decided
The overall situation has been decided.
Gu Hang also breathed a sigh of relief.
He had reason to be happy: the final means he had prepared had not been used.
His actions today were risky, but not big. Under the dual protection of Space Marines and Battle Sisters, he himself is a pretty powerful psyker, so he is not prone to accidents. In addition, he also has the body protection of the governor, which makes those alliance soldiers overwhelmed, throwing traps, and unable to fully engage in the battle. This is an even more layer of protection.
It was precisely with these bonuses that he dared to come and behead Mondoc, and then conquer the entire army.
The biggest risk is simply failure in action.
At this moment, his set goal has been achieved.
Of course, he also thought about what would happen if this adventure slipped completely out of control.
Then what he may have to face is a nineteen-man army trapped in an army of ten thousand people. But on the one hand, he is confident that he can still break out with all his strength in this situation. On the other hand, he also has the final means to completely solve the problem.
In orbit, the Quintet is in full combat readiness, and its naval guns are ready to fire at any time for orbital strikes on the ground.
Once the situation is completely out of control, Gu Hang will leave a mark and use all his strength to break out. The team led by Yan Fangxu will also support them from the outside and build a defensive line to block the alliance army in the outer city.
After he breaks out, the naval guns will begin orbital bombardment, bombarding the Alliance legions stationed in the outer city area in a relatively precise and small-scale manner.
Orbital strikes are not completely invincible. If the party being bombarded has dug deep air raid shelters and tunnels, coupled with a very strong bunker specifically designed to resist orbital strikes, it may be able to significantly reduce the power of orbital bombing and reduce damage. .
But obviously, the Alliance Legion did not make such preparations. And temporary digging is impossible.
After the orbital bombing is over, Gu Hang can bring his troops up to clean up the battlefield, which will also achieve the goal of destroying the Alliance Legion.
But that was the last resort, the last resort.
Orbital bombing cannot be completely accurate, and some artillery shells may fall into the inner city or non-war zones in the outer city, causing serious accidental damage; the fear of orbital bombing will pervade Fuxing City. This kind of panic may help Gu Hang's next actions, but it may also fuel the resistance of urban residents.
If you fall into that situation, you will be in trouble later.
But if it really comes down to that, Gu Hang won’t be soft-hearted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a plan.
But if you can not use it, of course it is better not to use it.
The current result is much better than using a rail gun to open a path.
The Alliance Legion has become his.
If you want to completely control these 10,000 fully armed legionnaires and turn them into trustworthy subordinates, it will definitely not be enough. In fact, just disarming them all and then keeping them under centralized custody took a lot of effort. After executing Mondoc, it took almost a whole day to disarm and place the soldiers.
The main reason was that although most of these soldiers had accepted their fate, a small number of them still refused to hand over their weapons, leading to conflicts with the infantry regiment led by Yan Fangxu, and bloodshed occurred.
At the same time, there are also quite a few people who, although they dare not resist openly, will sneak away with weapons.
The direct troops brought by Gu Hang totaled only 1,500 people in five battalions, which was a bit stretched. Although they had tried their best to prevent this situation, there were still a large number of Union soldiers who fled with their weapons. These guys may become troublesome in the future. If they hide in the slums of the outer city, they may become a hidden danger to the outer city's security in the future; if they escape outside the city, they may become bandits.
Trouble is trouble, but this is just scabies, not a big deal.
Excluding those who died and those who ran away, the number of soldiers who were finally put under centralized custody was approximately 7,000.
Next, Gu Hang was in no hurry to enter the city.
The current situation, the city's problems and Hodgson's problems are no longer important. After the army was disarmed, the city had become a prey for whatever it wanted. It was still waiting to see when Gu Hang would harvest it.
In fact, what Gu Hang was facing now was far from Fuxing City's full war potential. This action is not even a 'war'.
If Gu Hang had to name it himself, it should be called a ‘special military operation’.
Gu Hang keenly judged that although the disappearance of old Hodgson meant that the alliance authorities had launched a war against him. But the enemy he has to deal with in this 'war' is not the entire Fuxing City.
On the contrary, the city should be his, and the people in the city and the troops defending the city should not be his enemies, but his subjects.
A clear understanding of who the real enemy is and who should be won over to his side is the core reason why Gu Hang can achieve such great results at a relatively small cost. Only by understanding this problem can we achieve twice the result with half the effort, instead of foolishly treating the entire city as an enemy and ultimately losing both sides.
The route problem is solved, all that remains is how to do it.
There are space warriors, battle nuns, starship macro cannons, governorships... The means to solve the problem is not a big problem.
After dealing with the alliance army, Gu Hang sent people to divide the troops into five locations.
The four infantry battalions each guarded and closed the four gates of the inner city. These inner-city residents who had protected themselves with high walls were shocked to find that the walls had become their prisons, with four exits blocked.
At this point, the dignitaries in the inner city, as well as the 100,000 people living in the inner city, were locked inside and isolated from the 800,000 to 900,000 people outside the city.
The other battalion guarded 7,000 disarmed and captured Union soldiers.
Gu Hang is also here.
These seven thousand people are very crucial.
Gu Hang did not fancifully think that he would be able to conquer them as his subordinates immediately, but in the future, they would become a very important part of Gu Hang's military force.
There was no way he could leave these seven thousand people alone.
Even if he has a systematic training function, a good source of soldiers is still important.
But before integrating this army, Gu Hang still had a lot of work to do.
