Him and their stars.

Chapter 1990: The Flower of Famous Generals Arrives on the Battlefield First
However, as I said before, even at this point, we are still a long way from capturing the fortress.

Colonel Mia Walter and her team led a reinforced regiment of elite marines to land on the surface of the fortress. Fortunately, although the scale of the Glory Gate No. 1 Fortress is large, it does not have a gloomy fluid metal outer layer wrapped around the solid armor.

This is understandable. After all, it is located at the trade node of the star gate and has a very important trade transit function. If it is wrapped in a layer of fluid metal, it will greatly affect the entry and exit of civilian ships and the efficiency of cargo throughput.

This is of course a great benefit to the landing troops.

Based on the fortress structure diagram that they had intercepted long ago, they landed precisely near Port No. 3, which was closest to the Silence. There was no other way, Feifei and her friends occupied a civilian yacht dock with limited space, which could not be used as a landing site.

In addition, Military Port No. 3 is also the port closest to the fortress command room and central control room.

They broke through the outer wall of the fortress and landed inside the port.

Since the Imperial soldiers in the fortress were isolated by the lowered hatch, the Earth warriors were indeed outnumbered. With the addition of psykers and bouncing robots, the first landing force took control of the first military port of the fortress in just half an hour, and also seized two completely unguarded destroyers.

They opened the gate of the naval port and welcomed the landing craft that had been prepared long ago.

When the fully armed marines entered the fortress on landing craft, the ghost battleship, which still looked like an Alliance Titan, turned its bow in an orderly manner and launched precise ultra-long-range artillery attacks at the Imperial fleet that was about to approach the fortress.

She didn't even use the arc cannon, but only used the Titan-class light lance main guns and orbital guns to force the rest of the Imperial warships in the galaxy to be unable to move.

The largest warships left in the Gate of Glory were heavy cruisers and light carriers. Facing the fierce firepower of the ghost, they could not get close at all, and apart from torpedoes and sub-light-speed missiles, they could not even make basic counterattacks.

In addition, we must also know that launching torpedoes and sub-light-speed missiles at this distance is probably better than nothing.

All their capital ships are not at home.

"So, what's going on? What did Vice Admiral Xiu Wei say? What's going on with the Feschelon fleet?" In the outer space outside the fortress, Brigadier General Hurst was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan on the light carrier.

"Xiu, there is no enemy at Lieutenant General Xiuwei's end. This seems to be a trap."

"...Then who was chasing him before? Fei Xielun kept saying that he was being chased!
The staff officers present were unable to answer. Of course, Brigadier General Hurst had not expected to get an answer, he was just looking for an excuse to vent.

"Commander Xiu Wei has ordered the fleet to return. In addition, he has temporarily relieved General Feishelun of his command."

Brigadier General Hurst could not help but stand in awe. If it were him, he would definitely not tear his face off directly. Sure enough, this veteran who came back from the New World and the Earth battlefield was decisive!

"Commander Xiu Wei is a role model for us for his decisiveness in killing!" He said in a serious tone, "That's right, it was all Fei Xielun's fault for lying about military intelligence first! He must be held responsible for all of this, he must take full responsibility!"

He selectively forgot that it was the commander himself who, against all odds, allowed Xiu Wei to lead the attack and allowed the Slun Summer to enter the port.

But even if they knew it in advance, what could they do? Military leaders also have their own positions and demands. The higher their status, the further away their decisions are from purely military considerations.

"It will take about 30 hours. In addition, there is Vice Admiral Yeager Sobek's fleet."

This well-known name made Brigadier General Hurst feel much more secure. He almost shouted, "General Suo is here, and peace has come to the Gate of Glory."

"But he will need at least three more days."

Very good, the sense of security and peace suddenly disappeared.

"However, the auxiliary fleet originally under the direct command of Commander Sobek has already arrived at the battlefield. It will enter the battlefield in at most an hour."

Brigadier General Xiu Wei was slightly startled, and then he found a piece of information from a groove in his cerebral cortex.

Vice Admiral Jaeger Sobek, known as the "flower of famous generals", seemed to have split the fleet into two before Schlumberg was attacked. He personally led the main battleship to continue chasing the "Ghost", while the remaining auxiliary ships approached the Gate of Glory, and it was said that they were preparing to come here to rest.

"Oh, well, they're here. So what? The fortress is in this state, can we hold a banquet to welcome them?" Brigadier General Hearst said listlessly.

"No. It was Commodore Hatcher of the opposing fleet who asked us to fight. They thought that they could concentrate small warships and all fighter planes to cover the assault ship's landing from the back of the fortress!"

"This way, we can at least avoid the Ghost's frontal bombardment!"

"Yes, no matter how powerful the ghost is, it is impossible for it to really guard all the blind spots in the fortress, right?"

"We don't expect to destroy the Ghost, but as long as we can seize a stable port and send tens of thousands of people into it, we can maintain the internal stalemate."

Listening to the staff's discussions, Commodore Hurst's heart was already beating fast. He suddenly realized that this seemed to be a method. However, with the current fleet strength of the Gate of Glory, it was still a little weak.

"Commander Hatcher said that if the plan is approved, he will lead the attack. All we need is the cover of our artillery fire and fighter planes!"

Following this report, hundreds of points of light really flickered at the end of the distant starry sky. They were the fleets led by Brigadier Generals Hatcher and Athlone.

The fleet of Vice Admiral Jaeger Sobek, the "flower of famous generals", actually arrived at the Gate of Glory at the most tense moment.

Of course, whether they played the most critical role at the most critical moment or rushed to attend the funeral can only be determined by the actual development of the battle situation.

You know, they are still some distance within the galaxy from the fortress, and at this time, more than 1 Earth soldiers have boarded the Glory Gate Fortress No. .

The official battle for the fortress began in earnest.

Although the Silence can use computing power that is one dimension ahead of the fortress to suppress the central control, shut down the shield, lock the weapons, and lower the gate to isolate the defenders, it cannot take over the entire fortress through remote control.

In this regard, a certain Lord Dragon who cannot even be named could only sigh: "There is no way, this is the fault of insufficient automation! This is also the fault of the wrong technology tree!"

However, objectively speaking, perhaps it is precisely because of the wrong point that this fortress will not be really deprived of all its resistance capabilities by remote attack.

"The Imperial Army in the fortress is still able to resist! Please suppress the commander's office and the central control room immediately! You only have one hour. Don't worry, during the march, your path has long been a smooth road, but it is a maze for the enemy! Please make good use of it! Remember, you only have one hour."

At the port, Deng Zhengqing, wearing armor, conveyed the above orders to all grassroots commanders. He was a combat staff officer and now also a psychic, so it was natural for him to land with the first batch of marines.

Strictly speaking, he was actually the first commander of this landing operation, and his duty was to fully implement the will of the bridge of the Silence. Colonel Mina Walter and her friends actually played the role of double flowers and red sticks.

As the first batch of troops moved toward the commander's room, he called William Banner and Andro Motta.

"For you, the main reactor and main system life support control room, 30 minutes."

William saluted and said with a straight face: "Why not just add an armory."

"That's not necessary. There are seven doors in the fortress armory, and they are all closed. Our Bifang has already crawled through the ventilation duct and killed the trapped warehouse managers. It's completely fine to leave it alone."

William Banner opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He suddenly felt that the more active these advanced robots were, the further his knowledge and understanding of war was from reality.

However, this should be a good thing. The only trouble is that I have to learn many things from scratch.

Banner couldn't help but glance at Motta next to him. During the Navy Day, this Red Tiger's main gunner was also an old comrade and old rival.

Naturally, he felt very sympathetic about the fact that his old comrade had lost half of his body, two legs and an arm.

However, looking at the other party's robotic arm, which was as flexible as natural flesh limbs but inexplicably many times stronger, he felt a little jealous.

Deng Zhengqing added: "Captain Motta, your unit's target is the fortress's main gun control room. The marching distance here is the longest and is expected to take two hours. Please keep communication with the Silence open, they will provide support at any time."

Andro Motta, former security officer of the Tianyu Society of the Community and former advisor of the FLIFE, raised his solid steel prosthetic limb and saluted Deng Zhengqing: "I guarantee to complete the mission."

"You were a gunner during the Navy Day. I remember you had a gunner's certificate?"

"Yes. I passed the exam before participating in the Navy Day." Motta said.

"Then that's what you should do." Deng Zhengqing said, "As long as we act according to the plan, the enemies inside the fortress will not pose much of a threat. Instead, we should worry about the enemy forces coming to support us from other space stations."

He had just received news that a group of imperial reinforcements were arriving in the galaxy.

"But we still have time!"

"Understood!" Motta saluted seriously. He probably knew that the appointment letter of this "captain" was actually written casually by the old leader, so he needed to lead by example.

Of course, as a student leader who had shared the hardships with everyone in the prisoner-of-war camp with iron shackles, he did not lack prestige among the veterans.

The Marines split into two groups and began to advance in a mighty force.
