Mar Sara Capital District, former Terran Federation military fortress Fort Martin restricted area, command center command island command office.
The history of Fort Martin is as old as the settlement of Mar Sara. It was built in the 70th year after the Terran Federation regained control of the warp drive. It is a stone building made of marble and concrete.
Today, the ancient stone city walls have been replaced by fortification walls sandwiched between two layers of Presteel steel plates filled with powerful coagulants and high-strength synthetic resin fillers. The fortification walls were originally designed to deal with the rogue bandits of Ma Sara
And large beasts, it is now taller and wider, equipped with Mark electromagnetic guns and automatic cannons, which are enough to destroy any Tyran army that approaches rashly.
The center of the fortification wall is located in the huge command center, surrounded by flashing lights of barracks, heavy factories, supply centers and operating mechanical loading and unloading workshops. The black-red painted Revolutionary Army fighter transport ship is moving on the only
The rise and fall of a military airport.
Augustus still retained the same sitting posture as when he was on the phone with Edmund Duke. He sat upright, his gaze always passing through the light-transmitting tempered glass of the headquarters. Only the flashing gray eyes could prove that Augustus
Gus is real, not a synthetic or pre-recorded three-dimensional holographic projection.
Although Augustus can deceive Duke in many ways, such as clones, virtual images and nano masks that can be faked, Augustus is indeed staying in this command center and not in the fleet or in the fleet.
It's somewhere else.
Duke thought that the person who just spoke to him was a holographic projection that had been recorded in advance, but in fact it was the real Augustus. Duke thought that Augustus would not be stupid enough to reveal his location through a communication.
But the fact is that Augustus is waiting for him there, ready to completely defeat his troops.
At this time, there was no sound in the headquarters except for the footsteps of the Revolutionary Army staff officers and soldiers. Neither Corporal Faraday nor Kerrigan beside Augusti made a sound to interrupt his contemplation.
After a few minutes, Augustus stood up and adjusted his uniform and hat.
"Call my staff officers and military advisors and order the fleet in orbit to continue to monitor the movements of Alpha Squadron and report to the command center." He said: "Connect the combat demonstration map to the holographic projection screen in the command center."
"Sarah, prepare me a cup of strong coffee. Corporal Faraday, report the latest frontline combat briefing."
"The two brigades of Tychus Finlay and Mira Han have broken through the outer walls of the capital area and are launching an attack on the federal defenders outside the Governor's Palace." Kerrigan, who was wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform, said
As he swung his red single ponytail and twisted his waist to make coffee, Corporal Faraday reported to Augustus.
"The Ranger Brigade and the 2nd and 3rd Divisions commanded by Major General Jim Reno have already moved out from the states of Shiloh and Florence, and Colonel Gustav Rundstein's 4th Division is moving west of Major General Reno's headquarters.
After a rapid march of two hundred miles through the southern desert, we are expected to arrive at the Psalm Station in four hours."
"Very well, they carried out my orders well." Augustus was not shy about any words of praise for his generals.
At this time, a holographic projection screen was suddenly projected in front of Augustus. On it was the topographic map of the southern hemisphere of Mar Sara that he had seen countless times. The lines and data that constituted the highlands, plains, deserts, and valleys Augustus
They are all already familiar to me.
This land of more than 10 million square miles is home to about 4.6 million Masala people, scattered in various small and medium-sized towns and in border cities located in mining areas and industrial areas. Between cities and towns are
With barren farmland and small oases released intermittently, each farmer must cultivate dozens of acres of land to make ends meet, and now the war has burned away acres and acres of crops.
Of course, the federal government headed by Governor Mar Sara turned a blind eye to the losses caused by the war, regardless of whether they could not protect themselves. Augustus's revolutionary army gave local farmers compensation equal to the value of the crops, so even if
It was those who had doubts about the revolution who began to shout that the revolutionary army was the army of justice.
Of course, these supplements came from a large amount of federal army supplies captured by the Revolutionary Army and local government reserves. It is worth mentioning that even when 70% of the population is hungry, there are still a large number of
Food is exported to Tarsonis and other core worlds through the Mar Sara airport.
The twelve connected states and free cities on the map, except for the capital area, have all been controlled by the revolutionary army. The government forces only control less than one-third of the capital area. If Augustus had not intentionally not launched a general offensive,
, leaving the government forces still hanging on for their last breath, the capital area would have fallen three days ago.
Currently, after transporting five more Port of the Dead divisions to Mar Sara, the Revolutionary Army has more than 70,000 troops on the surface, of which about 10,000 soldiers possess CMC-200s and a small number of CMC-300s.
Powered armor, more than thirty arc-light tanks and four Goliath armed robot companies provide fire support.
The remaining Revolutionary Army soldiers who undertake combat missions wear more old-fashioned exoskeleton armor that lacks armor and can only provide some protection for the wearer. The exoskeleton armor comes from the T-230 port unloading used in various factories to strengthen workers.
Use exoskeleton armor, which has an alloy mechanical skeleton that can enhance the wearer's strength and a simple servo system, which is powered by batteries.
Compared with the Kaimorian Labor Auxiliary Army who only wear combat uniforms sewn with kinetic energy armor, these exoskeleton armors can provide considerable mobility to help Revolutionary Army soldiers keep up with elite troops wearing power armor, but the protection
Relying only on a full-metal helmet, armor plates on the chest, and body armor, these protections do not have much practical significance when facing bullets that are electromagnetically accelerated to several times the speed of sound.
The Federation Marine Corps carried by Alpha Squadron is not only equipped with CMC-300 powered armor, but even based on the proportion during the Battle of Kailian, the proportion of resocialized soldiers has already exceeded 70%, and it is not.
There is no shortage of armored personnel carriers and other vehicles that can quickly deliver troops to the front line.
Just like other high-ranking officers with noble backgrounds in the Terran Federation army, Edmund Duke not only did not object to commanding immoral resocialized soldiers, he was also very happy to replace the soldiers in Alpha Squadron with these dull but tough soldiers.
A reformed soldier who is not afraid of death.
In a head-to-head, single-threaded battle, these well-equipped resocialized soldiers will undoubtedly be able to defeat any human army of equal numbers. The entire defeat of the Camorians on the main battlefield was precisely due to the combination of resocialized soldiers and power armor.
He was caught off guard.
It is almost impossible for the Revolutionary Army to defeat Alpha Squadron on the frontal battlefield. The combat effectiveness of Blood Eagle Alpha is by no means inferior to any well-known federal army, not to mention that apart from being resocialized soldiers, among them have experienced previous wars.
of veterans.
What Augustus has to do is to avoid his sharp edge and lure the enemy deeper. Based on Augustus' understanding of Duke, underestimating the enemy and being reckless will kill him sooner or later. And as long as he hears Augustus' name,
Then Duke will roar forward as if he has been injected with chicken blood.
After staring at the map for five minutes, Sarah Kerrigan returned to Augustus' side holding a cup of thick instant coffee.
"You rely too much on coffee." Kerrigan said: "The Mengsk family's personal doctor told you that you should pay attention to rest. You always sleep too little and work too long."
Now Kerrigan has almost become an integral part of Augustus' life. This powerful ghost agent is not only responsible for Augustus's own defense, but also uses his powerful telepathy to test whether the generals around him are still loyal.
.
Whenever new recruits join the army and new members of the Pan-Terran Revolutionary Party join the party, Kerrigan and other psykers under Augustus will conduct the final assessment through mind reading.
At the same time, Kerrigan also became Augustus' personal fighting instructor, teaching him the fighting skills from the ghost agents. Although Kerrigan believed that Augustus would not be useful one day under his protection,
But Augustus himself hoped that he could be remembered by others as a brave revolutionary fighter.
"For today, four hours is enough." Augustus waved his hand. Since the revolutionary army could fight the government army, he always stayed at the headquarters. When the battle started, Augustus sometimes
He would stay awake all night, for forty hours straight, until his army was victorious or safely removed.
"I can still hold on." Augustus was drinking coffee while waiting for the latest news from the troops on the front line. The only thing he could do now was to wait: "I sleep when I think that my soldiers are going through life and death on the front line.
It’s gone.”
"I'm really worried that you will suddenly collapse one day." Kerrigan said: "Isn't that Lisa Cassidy writing to you every day asking about your health? She is simply doubting that I can't take good care of you.
.”
"Of course I can take care of myself." When Augustus was still trying to explain something, the dark face of Lieutenant General Horace Warfield suddenly appeared on the holographic projection in front of him.
"Augustus, Alpha Squadron has begun to deliver landing troops to the ground." He said: "In less than ten minutes, two hundred APOD transport ships and shuttles have left the fleet. By counting these ships
The rotation speed of the landfall latitude, we expect them to land on the eastern continent of the southern hemisphere."
"The enemy fleet is approaching our fleet at full speed." As Warfield was speaking, Augustus could see that the bridge of the Iron Justice was shaking violently.
"They have eleven Behemoth-class battlecruisers and twenty-six Kraken destroyers. Our fleet does not have the advantage."
"Convey my order to the entire fleet, and everything will be carried out according to the predetermined plan without any changes."
"Full authority is given to the command of Lieutenant General Warfield to implement the predetermined battle plan." Augustus said: "The Second Fleet with the Iron Justice as the flagship should not be reluctant to fight, and send S-315, S-314 and S-708 respectively.
A short jump across the star system to induce the enemy fleet to split up its forces and pursue it.”
"After the First Fleet completed the jump, the Second Fleet jumped from S-489 to the Sara system and surrounded the Alpha Squadron fleet staying in the system."
"Divide and annihilate them, defeat them one by one."
"Sir, the Marines of Alpha Squadron have begun to land." Another portrait of a revolutionary lieutenant appeared on the main screen. He was the officer in charge of managing the control center in the command center.
"Our radar has detected landing forces of Alpha Squadron over the Plains of Bones and over the Red Mesa... Our fighters are taking off..."
At this time, Augustus's staff officers and military advisors hurried over.
"The Plains of Bones and the Red Mesa are to our north and east, less than a hundred miles away from the Capital District. If they land at this location, it means that the troops attacking the Capital District are being attacked by defensive forces and reinforcements.
Alpha Squadron is caught in the middle."
"Whose brigade is closest to the enemy?" Augustus asked loudly.
"It's Mira Han's and Tychus Finley's two brigades." A staff officer replied: "Including other support troops, there are a total of eleven thousand soldiers."
"Order Tychus Finley's motorized infantry brigade to snipe the reinforcements of Alpha Squadron, and retreat at the fifth minute after the exchange of fire - order Mira Han and the remaining troops to withdraw from the capital area, south - to retreat to the headquarters.
" said Augustus.
Judging from the map in front of Augustus, his Fort Martin was directly below the capital area. In between was a deserted area composed of highlands, hills and canyons full of rugged rocks. The terrain there was complex and particularly suitable for
Mountain troop operations.
This place is called the Desolate Canyon, which is about 600 miles deep. The first 200 miles is an open valley, and the deeper it gets, the narrower it becomes. From the air, it looks like a cross-section of a thin-necked bottle.
"Have the other troops arrived at the scheduled location?" Augustus asked.
"The armies of Reynold and Gustav have arrived in the Desolate Valley, and Colonel Hank's Firebats have entered the bottleneck area of the Desolate Valley. The 1st Division of Rundstein in the west of the capital area has begun to launch a general attack on the Governor's Mansion. It is expected that in
After half an hour, the defenses on its front were breached and the governor's army was driven north."
Immediately afterwards, photos taken by reconnaissance drones and reports dictated by frontline generals were transmitted back to the command center within two hours.
February 18, 2490, 23:00 local time. Two divisions of the Alpha Squadron Marine Corps, two armored brigades, an artillery brigade responsible for combat support of the Draken Railgun and a service support brigade, totaling 36,000 personnel
Federation soldiers were transported to the southern hemisphere of Mar Sara by transport ships and APOD-33 transport aircraft in three batches.
It took the federal army less than two hours to land on the red Gobi and desert at the low latitudes of Ma Sara. About 300 Wraith fighter jets from four air wings were responsible for providing fire support for the landing troops. The scientific ship Yamei
The Riko descended below the planet's thin atmosphere.
If the intelligence is correct, then the commander of Alpha Squadron, Colonel Edmund Duke, will serve as the overall commander of this battle. With admirable courage, he went to the front line in person and led the federal army to destroy the rebels.
The federal army is divided into three groups and advances toward the capital area from the Plains of Bones, the Red Mesa and the Ridge Plains. Among them, the mobile commanded by Tychus Finley will face the approximately 20,000 Alpha Squadron soldiers of the two federal armies head-on.
