Chapter 657, get through
With the participation of an entire company of the Dragon King's Spear Chapter, along with their auxiliary troops and the Alliance Army, the situation in Changqi Star was quickly reversed.
Of course, the main reason is that this is not the main battlefield, and the Iron Armor Chapter has not invested much force here. They did not predict the sudden arrival of the Alliance army, so they immediately fell into a dangerous state of being attacked from both sides.
After stabilizing the situation in Changqi Star Port, Lazio's fleet and planetary orbital forces simultaneously attacked the invading enemy from both sides. The Iron Armor's main cruiser was severely damaged and escaped. Then it was chased by the strike cruiser led by Lazio and destroyed in space.
The remaining ground problems should be solved by the existing troops on the planet.
But Lazio stayed a little longer to ensure the stability of the planet. And, before leaving, some troops were left behind.
According to the plan, Changqi Star is on the way of the alliance's main force coming to support the Western Front. Stabilizing the situation here will help ensure a smooth path for the Alliance's Western aid forces.
And when he finished doing this, he continued to lead his fleet and headed for the next battle.
To be honest, can a company of Space Marines plus a small fleet mainly composed of strike cruisers be able to reverse the situation on the entire Western Front?
That's obviously not possible. Although their combat effectiveness is not weak, the difference in scale is too large. Compared with the scale of this kind of war that spans hundreds of worlds, it is just a drop in the ocean. Not to mention, when the two sides concentrate their main forces and engage in a head-on confrontation, the effect that a strike cruiser and a hundred Space Marines can play is even more minimal.
However, their mission was not to completely reverse the situation.
When the news came that the Zerg uprising, the Northern Front Army lost contact, and the Western Front Army was being attacked from both sides, Martins immediately suggested to Gu Hang that he should go out to rescue the Western Front Army.
It was definitely too late for Gu Hang to move. From the Alfonzo star field to the White Curtain star field where Sallis was besieged, there were two star fields in between. In addition, the troops needed to assemble and prepare logistics before setting off. , and because Alfonzo is bordering the princess, he has to deploy troops at the border... Wait until these are completed before setting off. Taking into account the travel time, I am afraid that the day lilies will be cold.
But the other force of the alliance, whose main force is in the Nepeta Star Territory, is different. Martins can complete it in two months from preparation to departure to arrival.
In fact, this is not haste.
Two months means that his main force has all reached the core theater of the White Curtain Star Territory. In fact, if we really pursue speed and send out the fastest vanguard army, we can arrive in a month - after all, it saves the time of assembly and preparation. Moreover, the Vanguard can also be the fastest ship.
This is what the team led by Ricardo Lazio is like.
Dragon King's Spear has not been around the Alliance for a particularly long time, and it was peacefully incorporated. Many internal mechanisms have not yet had time to be restructured, and they are relatively independent.
This is of course a problem, but at this moment it has become an advantage. Strong independence and intact internal mechanisms mean that the Dragon King's Spear does not need much support from the alliance and can quickly mobilize its forces to carry out tasks.
So, at Martins' request, Gu Hang thought twice and felt that he couldn't let the Western Front really end like this.
Otherwise, when there is no news from the northern front and the situation is grim, if the western front is allowed to collapse, then only Gu Hang will be left, and the pressure will be too great.
Iron armor and insect swarms, these are two opponents that will face off sooner or later, and there is no room for change between the two sides, and they will definitely fight to the death.
And since we must fight, we must fight on other people's territory while there are friendly forces. It is far more effective than waiting to be alone and being attacked by others and entering the area under our actual control.
If he couldn't go, but Martins could go, then there would be nothing to stop Gu Hang.
Of course, there are still some concerns.
Gu Hang's own presence is a huge backstop, and he is also a formidable strategic weapon.
In his absence, although Martins has three battle groups with a total of 3,000 men, three battle barges, a battleship, and two battlecruisers, the total is certainly a very powerful force, but Gu Hang There will still be some worries.
This power is strong, but if it is lost, Gu Hang will also have a huge headache. That would be the biggest loss the alliance has suffered since its establishment.
However, after he thought about it carefully later, he felt that he still had to let Martins act on his own.
Gu Hang couldn’t catch up on his own.
Moreover, as the alliance's market has become as big as it is now, it is impossible for him to personally participate in all wars.
A similar situation will happen sooner or later.
Then let them do it.
……
After receiving Gu Hang's permission, Martins was preparing to march.
Spear of the Dragon King is the vanguard, and Lazio is the vanguard among vanguards.
On the Eternal Air Planet, you can see that a week after Lazio left, a larger fleet arrived.
That is the main force of the Dragon King's Spear.
More Alliance Army and Dragon King Spear warriors came to the surface. On the one hand, they were to deal with the remaining enemies on the ground and ensure the safety of the planet. On the other hand, more construction personnel were present.
They unloaded more air defense and orbital firepower from the transport ship, deployed it on the planet, built orbital gun positions, and even rebuilt the orbital gun fortress.
There are even star forts and armed space stations transported by tugboats arranged in the orbit of the planet.
These things will greatly enhance the defensive capabilities of Changqi Star.
According to Martins' orders, Longqi Star will be built as an important forward base. In the future, a large amount of war materials will be gathered at Changqi Star, and subsequent reinforcements will also arrive at Changqi Star first.
It will become a base camp.
The main force of Dragon King's Spear did not stay in Changqi Star for long. After putting down a lot of materials and construction personnel, they quickly set off again, following the route that Lazio had laid out before, heading into the depths of the White Curtain Star Territory, and also deeper into the war.
The vanguard mission of the entire Dragon King's Spear Chapter is to ensure that a road from the Nepeta Star Territory to the depths of the White Curtain Star Territory is smooth before the main force of the army arrives.
Subsequently, they completed the task quite well.
This is obviously not the attack direction of the Iron Armor Chapter and the main force of the Zerg that swarmed out of the Queen's Star Domain. With the strength of an entire Chapter, it is not difficult to complete the mission.
When the main force of phoenixes and blood sharks led by Martins arrived at the Long Air Planet, Ricardo Lazio, the fastest runner, had already caught up with the Sun Expeditionary Force of Salisius.
