434 Rebellion(1/2)
This long-planned rebellion broke out without a widely publicized declaration of uprising.
It is a model of killing first and showing off later, and is very devoid of martial ethics.
As the rebel side, the rebels undoubtedly took the absolute initiative, and were at least half an hour ahead of the imperial defenders in reaction time.
Don't underestimate this short half hour. With the mobility of the Star Fleet, half an hour is enough to cross several galaxies and contribute strategic importance before the Imperial Army can react.
Moreover, the rebel fleet has always been in a state of combat readiness and can set sail as soon as it receives the order.
On the other hand, the Imperial Army, except for an Imperial-level formation that went out on patrol, was either tied to the border defense line or docked in the home port. Some of them did not even have ammunition, personnel, or energy, and there were even a few warships on the way.
Overhauled, it was demolished to the point where I didn’t even recognize my mother.
In this extremely unfavorable situation, the rebellion broke out.
The first to fall were the galaxies surrounding Tianci Star.
As soon as the Dukes learned that the incident had been exposed and decided to jump back, the two Imperial-level formations belonging to the Dukes' side left the airport in full gear and headed towards the nearest Imperial Bases No. 014 and No. 039.
These two bases and Base 026 jointly support the logistics system of the entire third border. Each reserves a quarter of the strategic supplies for the entire defense line, and the other quarter is dispersed and stored in a number of border fortresses.
Once these two bases are lost, the entire Third Frontier Imperial Fleet will only have a quarter of its original supply available, and even less will be dispersed to each fleet, and its combat effectiveness will inevitably drop sharply.
Under normal circumstances, the three logistics bases are located behind the defense line. Each of them usually has an imperial-level formation stationed there. The border defenders can also rush for emergency reinforcements. The defense force is definitely sufficient.
But the current situation is that one of the three bases has directly rebelled, instantly cutting off communication with the headquarters of the Third Military Region, and seizing the imperial fleet stationed there.
The other two bases are not far from the Tianci Star. There are only a few blockers and outposts on the road. Although it can be delayed for a certain period of time, will the well-planned rebels be unprepared?
At the 24th minute after the rebellion started, at the channel checkpoint closest to Base 014.
A large cargo ship was slowly sailing into the inspection area next to the inspection station. The garrison took a look at the identification code on the instrument and suddenly smiled.
This cargo ship belongs to the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. The Third Star District has been uneasy recently, so these cargo ships often bring some mercenary fighter planes to escort them. However, this is not the point. The point is that customs clearance fees and the consumption of filial piety to the defenders have also increased, allowing them to
The soldiers who were waiting to die would make a fortune.
And this Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce is the most generous among all chambers of commerce. As for the chamber of commerce explained above, it is suspected of treason. Who cares about them, the suspicion has not been confirmed yet. It is not too late to intercept it after the stone is hammered.
Of course, if the other party is willing to pay 10 times the price, you can secretly let him go even if he is wanted.
At this time, the three mercenary frigates had already passed the checkpoint first, and there was no abnormality. After the cargo ship completed the inspection, the other four frigates behind it were allowed to pass, and the purchase was completed.
Um……
There are a lot of mercenaries accompanying us this time, so we can charge a lot more money. After all, the prices in the empire are really getting higher and higher. How can we go to the oasis to find happiness with the babies in the oasis without making some extra money?
The garrison troops started the scanner absentmindedly and just dealt with the process. This crappy instrument could only scan a rough image, and a more professional smuggling ship would not be able to scan out anything.
The checkpoint naturally has more advanced high-power scanners, but they are all used by ignorant sheep. The Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce has enough money to contribute, so there is no need for them. The energy saved can be sold to passing merchants, and then
Make him a fortune.
The garrison in the control room was thinking about their business, and did not pay any attention to the cargo ship outside the observation window, which was slowly adjusting its angle and aligning its entire side with the space blocker on the top of the outpost.
Didi didi...
The scanner, which was expected to be normal, suddenly alarmed. Several garrison troops were surprised and thought the instrument was broken. After all, no smuggling ship would be unable to pass the simplest level.
However, when they saw the alarm information on the scanner clearly, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Illegal modifications, over-restricted weapons, unregistered weapons, discovery of military controlled materials...
A series of alarm items can be summed up in four words: extremely dangerous!
Is the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce going to rebel?
At this time, the survey team's cruiser had not yet escaped from the rebel siege, so the outpost knew nothing about the Tianci Star rebellion.
The garrison who reacted panicked and rushed to the console and pressed the alarm, but at the same time, an impending attack alarm with a completely different tone sounded.
"Enemy attack!"
The shrill screams were swallowed up by the roar of the explosion.
Outside the porthole, the hull of one side of the large cargo ship facing the tower suddenly burst open, revealing a row of turbolaser cannons inside. High-power lasers directly hit the outpost, control room, space blocker and shield not far away.
The device exploded instantly, bursting into bright flames, and the fragments shot out.
The garrison at the outpost didn't even turn on the shield, and even their own lives were lost just for the sake of spending some energy!
At the same time, there were also escorting mercenary ships. The three frigates that passed the checkpoint first had no problem, but the four frigates stranded on the other side of the checkpoint had all undergone illegal military modifications. They were not only equipped with small-caliber turbine lasers as controlled weapons.
The gun is also equipped with a more powerful military shield.
At this time, these powerful artillery pieces were firing fiercely at the unprepared Imperial defenders, not caring whether the fragile civilian ship hull could withstand such destruction.
more than that,
More than 10 fighter planes suddenly ejected from the bottom of the huge cargo ship, and the disposable missile launchers installed on the back of the ship also began to fire a salvo. As soon as the battle broke out, they all hit the imperial defenders' flagship.
The defense force of this outpost is an old-fashioned cruiser that has been relegated to the second line, more than a dozen destroyers, frigates, and several large-caliber defensive turrets that come with the outpost.
After being attacked, the cruiser as the flagship was the first to be attacked, and was concentrated by the fierce firepower of the rebels.
The hull, which also had no shields opened, was constantly hit by explosive beams and missile rains. Fireballs exploded on the hull one after another, tearing apart the weak alloy plates and flying them away, and the old hull creaked and groaned inside.
After a few dozen seconds, it exploded and broke into two pieces. The flames burning inside the ship were ejected with the air, and the raging fire swallowed everything on the ship.
Less than a minute after the start of the war, the flagship of the checkpoint defender was sunk!
Finally, under the threat of death, the checkpoint defenders began to fight back. After all, they were regular troops, and they still had the necessary military qualities, and the equipment they used was also serious military models. After the fight back began, the two rebel frigates quickly
was sunk.
As for the largest converted cargo ship, apart from a violent outbreak in the first round, it quickly fell into a period of weakness.
Hasty modifications and forced firing resulted in large-scale fires inside the ship, partial structural tearing, reactor overloading, and half of the ship being paralyzed.
After all, this ship was just a cargo puller a month ago, and suddenly it was used as a warship to raid the imperial outpost, and the consequences were huge.
Soon, the large-caliber turret installed at the outpost was activated. Several thick fires flashed through, and the attack was like a spear. In a blink of an eye, it penetrated the cargo ship approaching Chi Chi. The fragile cargo ship could not withstand such a fierce attack.
The ammunition piled chaotically inside the ship was directly detonated, which subsequently led to explosions throughout the ship.
A huge fireball exploded next to the outpost, and the death was more tragic than that of an Imperial cruiser.
On the other side, the rebel fighter planes and frigates relied on their flexible maneuverability to fight with the imperial defenders. Both sides achieved successes, but the defenders with stronger hard power gradually regained the advantage, and the rebels suffered increasing losses. In the end,
There are only four modified frigates left that are still holding on in embarrassment.
"Fire! Fire! Tear these bastards apart! Let them know the consequences of rebelling against the empire!"
The surviving deputy commander of the empire roared hysterically.
Fear and anger made him lose his mind. He knew that he was finished. He could not escape death for today's dereliction of duty, but before he died, he must let the scum who had harmed him go to hell!
It seemed that the rebels were at the end of their rope, but in fact, their mission was completed the moment they launched the attack.
The space blocker was destroyed.
The next second, intense white light emerged in the galaxy channel. One after another, the rebel battleships broke away from warp speed, and the three huge Empire-class battleships in the center were clearly visible.
"Oh, God..."
The imperial defenders looked at the sudden arrival of the rebel fleet in horror. In the next second, everything belonging to the imperial army present was swallowed up by the dense beam of light!
The rebel fleet belongs to Duke Obsidian and is called the Obsidian Fleet.
The goal is to penetrate into Base 014 before the empire can react, defeat the defenders there, occupy the base, and seize the huge amount of supplies inside.
Along the way, the Obsidian Fleet, with the cooperation of undercover agents and mercenaries, captured three imperial checkpoints in succession. They did not stop for a moment longer on the way, as Base 014 was in the adjacent galaxy.
It was also thanks to the fact that the Star Gate channel was not established in the Border Star Region at the beginning. Although it was faster to pass through the Star Gate, the rebels obviously did not have enough troops to capture a Star Gate.
The hyperspace communication base stations in the star systems surrounding the empire base were all destroyed by Xie Yin's pirates at the same time. Base 014 has not yet received an invasion signal, so it is a good time to launch a surprise attack.
The Obsidian Fleet has been secretly refitted, and its organization is larger than the average Imperial fleet. It contains many Hunter-class weapons stolen from the Marquis and Earls of the God-given Star. If they are calculated mentally or not, they have a high chance of winning against the base defenders.
big.
A few minutes later, the fleet entered warp speed again, and when it left next time, the fleet had already arrived at the edge of the galaxy where Base 014 was located.
Woo~
"Enemy attack——!"
Of course, the security level of Base 014 is not the same as the checkpoints on the roadside. The space blocker is always open, and unverified ships cannot directly reach the base at warp speed.
When the Obsidian Fleet appeared at the edge of the galaxy, the sensor group at Base 014 immediately locked onto it and identified the opponent.
As soon as he saw that it was the fleet of Duke Obsidian, and considering the recent situation, he didn't know that the person coming was evil, so he immediately sounded the alarm.
"Obsidian Fleet, stop immediately, declare your intention, and accept inspection by the military police, otherwise we will regard you as rebels and destroy them immediately!"
The Commander of Base 014 looks stern and has a soft heart, shouting at the Obsidian Fleet, but in fact, he is just a strong man on the outside but a weak man on the inside.
Because the fleet responsible for garrisoning Base 014 is not ready at all, if the Obsidian fleet insists on approaching, less than half of the Imperial fleet can set sail during this time.
Once the opponent enters the range, with the size and posture of the Obsidian fleet, it is really uncertain whether the base can be defended.
However, in the face of the intimidation from Base 014, the Obsidian Fleet was completely unmoved and hovered quietly at the edge of the galaxy. This made the Imperial officers relieved but also a little suspicious.
Did these guys come all the way just to march from afar?
