Chapter 447, Rogue Space Marines

Chapter 447, Rogue Space Marines

Gu Hang's idea was very natural: he knew that a green-skinned reinforcement force would arrive, so of course he had to try to defeat the enemy before the reinforcements arrived.

Even if you have to pay some price for it.

If you don't do it now, it will be even more difficult when they get together.

On the ground battlefield of Temir No. 5, it is unrealistic to decide the winner so quickly. Billions of greenskins cannot be killed that fast even if they kill pigs.

In the previous game that Perbov won, he successfully disrupted the greenskin defense line in the entire direction, causing the greenskins on the entire planet to fall into chaos because they lost their supreme commander. Taking this opportunity, he commanded the troops well and fought several battles of annihilation and destruction.

Moreover, the entire planet and the entire continent, the human army launched a wave of offensive climax. On a front spanning thousands of miles, with the Alliance Army as the core and the Allied Forces as the supplement, they attacked across the board. Often a breakthrough point is made, prompting the greenskins to counterattack, and then the empty space on both sides is broken by humans and surrounded, and they eat dumplings.

Or maybe a certain garbage city was raided by elite soldiers of the Human Alliance. The orcs were not subordinate to each other, had chaotic command, and lacked support, resulting in a bunch of farts in the garbage city. They would not be able to gain any advantage under the hands of human elites and would be quickly eliminated. The large number of personnel losses was secondary, mainly due to the loss of the garbage city's production capacity and a considerable amount of green-skinned ordnance that had not yet been shipped out.

Similar situations occur repeatedly across the planet.

All told, more than 200 million greenskins were wiped out in the two months after the battle ended. Among them, at least 50 million real green-skinned orcs were killed.

The green-skinned forces on the surface of Temir 5 shrank directly.

The battle-loss ratio is pretty good. Even if you remove the grunt and don't count it as a human, it's still 3:5, which is not bad.

Gu Hang would not let Du Shiliang go find those green-skin fleets to fight for their lives now.

Something happened in the Iron Horse Sector.

In this post-colonial planet with a population of 8 million, the separatist forces have become more violent, have launched a clear rebellion, and plundered the imperial tax prepared by the planet.

Yelicia had to take half of the combined fleet to the Temir system as soon as possible, pick up Gu Hang halfway, and join up with Du Shiliang, trying to destroy or at least severely damage the green skin fleet before the green skin reinforcements arrived.

What's more, it's not like the fart is really not a human being. The logistical support they provide to the greenskin army is an important guarantee for the greenskin army to continue the war, and they are also suitable controllers of long-range fire strikes.

The winning rate is not big enough.

As for the battle in space, the two sides are still fighting. No one wants to fight a decisive battle, and no one wants the opponent to be able to easily support the ground. Isn't that what it is?

In a 50-50 battle, what's there to fight for?

But looking at it now, it’s not appropriate.

Both sides are licking their wounds.

The Xiaxing I galaxy is a galaxy with three habitable planets in the Iron Horse region. When paying imperial taxes before, there were no problems with the other two, but there was a situation on Xia Xing I3.

In order to kill these 200 million greenskins, humanity's losses exceeded 30 million - mostly from the Allied Forces. The Alliance Army probably lost over 10 million.

Although it would be best to allow half of the combined fleet to continue patrolling for a while, after all, some 'vassals' still have a high tendency to separate.

However, just when Gu Hang was about to give Yelicia an order to launch the fleet, the female general took the lead and sent a message.

However, the battle situation of Temir 5 has slowed down a bit recently.

And just in time, Yelicia's tour mission in the Seven Horses Land has ended, and all the worlds have signed the Seven Horses Agreement.

In addition, the orc leader Saru also sent new warlords to the surface. The greenskin's command system began to recover and was no longer so chaotic. It became not so easy to succeed and harvest the lives of the greenskins in large numbers as before.

The entire planet's total tax revenue is only 80 million, and they only robbed about 20 million in supplies.

After two months of fierce attacks, the human army was a little unable to fight. Soldiers need to take turns when they need to rest, supplies that need to be replenished must be in place, and those occupied areas must be 'sterilized', otherwise new green skin will grow back and manpower will be spent guarding it.

But the nature of this matter is very bad, so it must be resolved.

The local troops adapted into the Allied Forces are already engaged in counter-insurgency, but the Alliance is not good and does not care about anything. They have signed the Seven Horse Agreement. How can you just collect money and do nothing?

Coincidentally, Yelicia was also nearby.

The alliance agents first went down to investigate the situation, and then they called for reinforcements, saying that they had found the location of the rebel leader and requested direct force to eliminate it.

The way to eliminate it is to send several frigates sent by Yelicia to send several missiles towards the reported coordinates. Then, the Marines, led by a team of phoenixes, landed on the ground.

They want to eliminate the enemy leader, destroy the command center, and then evacuate.

These tasks should be considered familiar to Phoenix.

It stands to reason that such physical specifications can definitely solve the problem, but an accident happened.

The Phoenix that landed and the Marines they led were all normal after landing, but suddenly at a certain moment they all lost contact.

Very unusual.

If there were only marines, that would be fine. Then there would be a whole team led by phoenixes.

Even though the battle was fierce and the mission was difficult, they were Space Marines. How could they lose contact without saying a word?

Then, the commander on the starship received another message from the landed agents.

They claimed that an accident occurred between the Phoenix and the Marine Team. The rebels had the ability to interfere with information, which prevented the task force deep in the enemy's position from contacting the upper levels. The task force was now trapped by the rebels' superior strength and needed to send more reinforcements to the ground.

The commander on the starship was a little worried, but after careful consideration he sent out new reinforcements.

The missiles fired another round towards the enemy's gathering position, and then a new group of phoenixes led the elite marines to the ground.

This time, their goal was not even to eliminate the enemy leader or attack the rebel center, but just to cover the troops that had gone down before and evacuate through transport planes.

However, the support results this time were still not ideal, and the team that went down quickly lost contact.

This time, things got serious.

The ground agents reported the situation on the ground again and requested reinforcements. However, the commander who was already suspicious in the last round could not be fooled a third time.

On the one hand, he stabilized the agents on the ground, and on the other hand, he contacted the superior unit of that group of agents and reported the situation. Then, a new group of agents went down, and they quickly came to a conclusion: the previous group had rebelled. The two waves of elite troops that went down earlier are probably in danger now.

The commander on the starship was furious.

But at the same time, there are also some doubts.

Agents rebel... is it so easy to rebel? How could a group of local rebels on a planet make agents trained by the alliance's three major intelligence agencies rebel?
And even if they rebelled and lured the alliance's elite to land, the two waves totaling twenty or thirty phoenixes and thousands of marines, how could they be easily eliminated?
Even if our own side is small in number, lacks heavy equipment, cannot defeat it, and will be surrounded, how can it be wiped out so quickly?

The commanders above no longer considered the possibility that the troops who had gone down were still alive but their communications had been disrupted.

Very low.

Those rebellious agents continued to spread false information, with the goal of deceiving more phoenixes and more human troops to go. They are not worried about self-defeating at all. Their attitude is more like I will eat as much as you come.

Are these rebels so strong?

But in any case, it is time to abandon the scalpel strike and quick solution to the problem.

The commander called for more reinforcements, and soon there were more than just a few frigates on the Xiaxing I system.

More ships arrived and a large number of land forces were dropped.

The Alliance Army's 17th Army Group, the 3rd Army, was dropped on the surface of the planet Xiaxing I-3.

The scale of the rebellion started by the separatists on Xia Xing I-3 was not small. Five provinces on the planet were swept in. The population in the actual control area reached million, and the number of rebels was also over million.

They faced off against the five million-strong Allied Forces, fighting back and forth.

Under this situation, an alliance army group with a scale of one million, plus super-standard orbital fire support, is definitely not something that the rebels can resist.

If there is anything beyond the standard among the rebels, they will naturally be forced out.

This is indeed the case.

Under high pressure, the core force of the Separatists emerged: hordes of Space Marines.

Space Marine? !
When the alliance commander in orbit got this information uploaded by the ground troops, his eyes almost popped out!
how can that be possible?
Why do space warriors appear among the separatist forces of a group of indigenous planets? How could they possibly get help from the Space Marines? !

Is it possible that everyone is Governor Gu?

In previous wars, the Alliance relied on the Phoenix to leave others dumbfounded and at a loss as to what to do.

But now, the same situation has happened to the alliance itself.

But then, they soon realized that the Space Marines who helped the separatist forces on the Xiaxing I-3 planet were by no means normal Space Marines.

There is no Imperial Sky Eagle symbol on them, no medals of honor.

Is this a traitor among the Space Marines?

Things are serious.

Relevant information was quickly sent back. At the same time, the battleships in planetary orbit are also preparing to step up fire support.

What happened to the Space Marines? Without any orbital control, no matter how awesome the Space Marines are, they will still be bombed on the surface.

However, the commander of the combined fleet was soon slapped in the face.

Do those renegade Space Marines really have no means of threatening orbit?

Indeed not. Xia Xing I-3's star port is an old one, with only a handful of anti-orbital cannons on the ground. There are no star forts in orbit, only a few armed space stations, which suffocates the defense of small pirates.

For a navy that currently has tens of frigates and destroyers in orbit, and at least twenty patrol ships, it simply does not have the ability to cope with it.

But... who said that this group of renegade Space Marines who appeared out of nowhere can only exert their power from the surface?
When the United Fleet ship was happily exploding in orbit, the stargazers on the ship soon made a horrifying discovery: they noticed that a huge ship suddenly appeared in the galaxy. , unidentified starship!

This starship seems to have been hiding behind the star in the past, using this huge star to block many conventional monitoring methods.

But now, this battleship suddenly appears, which is unexpected.

But if it's just a warship, there's nothing to be afraid of.

There are more than thirty battleships on the track of Xiaxing I-3.

But soon, when this behemoth was getting closer and closer, and could be observed more carefully by stargazers, and when the relevant information was transmitted back, it would make people feel scared!
This ship is too big!
It looks like 28 kilometers long! Judging from the shape, although it is very gloomy, although there are many disgusting ram-horned demon heads hanging on it, there are many chaotic eight-pointed star patterns that are clearly prohibited in human society and are not allowed to appear. But judging from the overall shape, some navy veterans can still recognize it as a ship that is very similar to the 'Retribution-class' battleship in the human navy.

The 'Retribution' is a serious battleship! It is also the most common battleship in the Imperial Navy!

Obviously, this is definitely not friendly forces.

There is a high probability that it is the vehicle of the renegade Space Marines on the ground.

No one would have thought that this group of space warriors actually had a battleship in service.

Although, this Retribution-class battleship is only a single ship and does not have a large number of non-main ships to cooperate with it, which will reduce its combat effectiveness to a certain extent and make it much more vulnerable.

However, no matter how fragile it is, no matter how compromised its combat effectiveness is, it is still a serious battleship.

Right now, the combined fleet ships surrounding Xia Xing I-3 are all children to this battleship. The X-spec main gun on it can kill a child with one shot.

No matter what level the energy shield or armor on the body is, it is just a frigate or destroyer-level boat anyway. No matter how high the energy shield power is, it is just like that.

One shot will definitely explode the ship and shield together.

On the contrary, these small firepower of the combined fleet are much less threatening to this battleship.

I'm afraid that even their void shields can't be broken, and all thirty of our own ships will be named one by one, and all of them will be destroyed.
