Chapter 628, Ground rebellion
The number of ships that were withdrawn first was actually not many, mainly two battle cruisers and numerous cruisers.
After all, there is also a Retribution-class battleship in the Alliance, and it is also a slow one.
But as long as a ship goes back first, that's a good thing.
When the Varuk fleet had just arrived at the back of Alamita, the Alliance's main fleet also returned.
Then, Yelicia made a very fierce decision: rush directly into Alamita!
At the same time, the Alliance ships that arrived in close orbit at Alameda will also attack to respond.
If you dare, stop it.
The Adeptus Mechanicus fleet is also rational.
If they insist on intercepting, they will first suffer the disadvantage of being attacked from both sides.
Then, the alliance's main fleet rushed up and was able to rush into the cover of Alamita's orbital firepower in a blink of an eye. Unless the alliance's main fleet can be annihilated in such a short period of time, it is obviously impossible.
When the main force of the alliance rushes in, the mechanical fleet will be stunned and unable to pursue it at all. Otherwise, it will rush into the orbit of Alamita. The starport, starfort and ground orbital gun firepower together may not be able to withstand ten battleships. .
Starships cannot engage in firepower exchanges with planets.
If the planetary defense system does not have its own starship cover, it will indeed appear clumsy and inflexible. It will be easy for enemy ships to destroy the outer space stations one by one, and it will also be easy for them to be caught in the gaps in the trajectory of the star fort and invest troops on the ground to attack from the surface... …
But these plans will not work when the opponent still has a strong fleet in the orbit.
The two sides once again faced off in Alamita.
The Alliance fleet could not do without, and Varuk's fleet did not dare to attack forcefully with anti-orbital firepower. The two sides were in a stalemate.
Yelicia breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at her command from stage to stage, there are some flaws and some mistakes made, but generally it should be correct.
In any case, she saved the alliance's main fleet. Although one battle cruiser, the Ronglin, was severely damaged and parked in the star port, and small and medium-sized battleships suffered a lot in the naval battles in space over the past few days, but in general Said that the main force still exists.
Really compared to the losses, the small and medium-sized ships of the mechanical fleet may have suffered less explosions, but as for the main giant ships, a Dragon Snake-class battle cruiser was lost, two were seriously damaged, and one had to be returned to the factory. It was repaired, and its combat effectiveness was basically paralyzed; although the other ship could still fight, its command system was damaged, and some temporary repairs were made, but it was estimated that 30% of its combat effectiveness was lost due to poor command.
In comparison, I’m not sure who suffered greater losses.
In a situation where the fleet size and strength are inferior to the opponent's, and the jump point ambush strategy has been cracked, being able to do this should be regarded as a success.
Including Gu Hang himself thought so too.
He took some time to observe the naval battle situation in the real universe, and in the few words he briefly talked to Yelicia, there was a lady who praised him.
Yelicia was not happy because of Gu Hang's appreciation. Her next strategy was to maintain a conscientious and conservative attitude, and she faced off with Varuk's fleet in Alameda for half a month.
This half month has been relatively calm.
Although the atmosphere was tense, there were few actual battles, and even tentative confrontations were rare.
It seems that everyone knows that there is a battlefield around Alameda's orbit, which no one can do anything about.
Half a month later, the situation quietly changed.
On her flagship, Yelicia received news of a large-scale rebellion on the surface of Alamita.
Before this, there had always been riots on the planet.
Even if Moreau, the former Foundry General, personally went to appease and suppress them, and with his relationship with the Alfonzo sect, it would be impossible for him to rebel.
However, the core of the so-called 'Alamita Sect' he established is, to put it bluntly, composed of some of his own cronies, plus some people with wavering attitudes in Alamita. After all, this place has belonged to the Alfonzo sect for thousands of years. Although Morrow has always had the prestige as a founding general, it is inevitable that there are people on the planet who harbor the Alfonzo sect.
The Alliance used special operations to attack the ground and killed many leaders on Alamy Tower who were loyal to the original sect, but they did not kill them all. They only killed the most important ones. They also used thunderous means and the arrival of the Alliance's military to oppress the planet. Reluctantly give in.
Fortunately for the star port, a short but fierce battle broke the bones of the opposition.
On the ground, the leaders of the opposition are still alive; the middle and high-level leaders are not dead; and the backbone of the force is still there.
They were confused and frightened at first; now they have calmed down, and Varuk, their biggest backer, has arrived.
It is not surprising that some people started to become active.
Not to mention, Varuk will definitely have his hands in it.
Just as the Alliance knew when they came to attack Alamita that a strong fortress must be conquered from the inside, the people of Alfonzo's sect naturally also understood.
Fortunately, they still have quite unique conditions. If the people in Alameda really want to vote collectively, do they want the Alfonzo sect or the so-called 'Alamita sect' that has just been established for a month or two? Who will get the higher vote in the end? Who is lower, I really can’t say for sure.
After Moreau went down, he was able to realize the severe test he was about to face.
With the support of the hundreds of millions of Alliance Army troops that successively landed on the surface of Ala Mita, he launched a series of internal cleaning operations.
Many people died.
To this day, it is difficult to say how many of those rebels were true rebels or were forced to rebel by cruel means.
But in general, before, all kinds of rebellions on the planet were under control.
Although the Alliance Army is very busy, dispatching and suppressing everywhere, but in general, they are counter-insurgency operations, killing die-hard elements, capturing suspects, and sending them to concentration camps for custody. How to deal with them specifically? That is the matter of the Alamita Sect, and the Alliance will not interfere too much.
The scale of the battle is generally not large.
At its worst, it's not really a war, it's barely a military operation.
Until now, a large-scale rebellion broke out from Diji District, an important industrial hub cluster in the southern hemisphere.
At first, it was the troops of the Aramita sect that suppressed the rebellion.
It was said that it had been suppressed, but soon, news of riots in successive areas came, but they soon claimed that they had been suppressed. The Alamita sect was a little disbelieving and asked the Alliance to send an infantry division in, along with investigators.
As soon as I entered, it was like following a black hole, and there was no news at all.
Now, I realized the seriousness of the problem.
Alamita's own army is unreliable, and no one knows how many potential traitors are hidden among these troops adapted on the spot. Alamita's army that went to suppress it was not wiped out, but turned against them on a large scale.
There's no other way, the only option is for the alliance's troops to do it themselves.
If one division is not enough, then a group army will be needed.
But the scale of the rebellion has been underestimated.
After the army was stationed, it was fiercely besieged.
Moreover, what is surprising is that a large-scale combat servitor with a half-mechanical and half-Zerg structure appeared among them.
There are so many of these powerful units that even elites like the Marine Corps will suffer in a fight, let alone the ordinary Alliance Army.
The alliance troops of a group army will not be destroyed in an instant, but it is still very difficult to defend only a few places, and the battle losses will be great.
Subsequently, the Union Army Command began to increase troops.
One group army, another group army, and finally an entire army group was deployed.
But soon, another area in the southern hemisphere also broke out, and the scale was even larger.
Another army group passed by.
At this point, the alliance's military strength of over 100 million seems to be stretched thin.
Although, this only accounts for two army groups, there are still three that are not moving.
Don't dare to move.
I'm afraid if they don't move, it won't be the two hive clusters in the southern hemisphere that are causing trouble, and maybe the whole world will be in an uproar.
In fact, after those two hive clusters were controlled on a large scale, quite bad situations also occurred.
The political significance can be put aside for the moment. The most important thing militarily is actually the railgun fortresses controlled by them.
Some of these fortresses are independent in the wilderness, and some are set up in nests.
Their muzzles were aimed at the outer orbit of the planet, and they fired ferociously.
The Alliance fleet is threatened from within.
Are you going to face Todoroki on the ground? Covering the Army?
deficit.
Moreover, one must also worry about whether Varuk's fleet will take this opportunity to launch a massive attack.
By then, the ground has not retreated for a while, and it will be beaten by Varuk's fleet outside. There is a real risk of defeat.
The Alliance fleet was forced to avoid the areas covered by the railguns in the two areas of the southern hemisphere.
At the same time, a series of orbital defense systems such as starports, starforts, and armed space stations must change their orbit around the earth, otherwise they will be beaten when they pass through the area covered by anti-orbital firepower.
And after this space was given up, the disadvantage expanded rapidly.
Varuk's fleet then had a window to attack.
They still dare not press the entire fleet up. After all, most of the railguns on the ground are still under the control of the alliance, as is the orbital defense system.
However, they can do something in this area of space controlled by the rebels.
Although the corresponding airspace is quite narrow, it can be relatively safe and put more support on the ground.
These rebels have coerced and mobilized a large number of local people, but they are somewhat lacking in equipment.
They have taken control of many arsenals in the forge world and have begun to ramp up production. However, the area they control is still relatively limited. The production lines of many high-end equipment and large weapons are not perfect, and problems such as insufficient resources limit their production capacity.
The Varuk fleet can naturally invest these things directly from space to replenish them.
Heavy tanks, Titans, Knights, and more biochemical robots created with Zerg technology.
The ground battle situation, which had been suppressed after the alliance increased its troops, suddenly became worse again.
A naval battle has now turned into the most critical stage of the ground battlefield.
Caught off guard, Yelicia had to take action.
She began to put more troops on the ground, even sending out Space Marines.
The torch and the wrathful flames of the new world have all gone.
However, Yelicia was a little disappointed with their fighting power.
So, she secretly sent three companies of shadow warriors down.
These warriors wearing gray power armor without any markings will focus on several railgun fortresses as targets.
At the same time, at the time of attack, the alliance fleet will send ships to cooperate with the action.
Several destroyers and cruisers will take the risk of coming to the heads of the Space Marines at that time, facing the threat of anti-orbital guns and the possible attack of the Varuk fleet, and providing firepower for the actions of the Space Marines. support.
Strive to seize some ground rail guns as quickly as possible.
