Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 449 Martinez Victory
The rebel space fleet returned to the asteroid belt halfway, and the crisis of the Human Federation was finally resolved.

But this also made the Federation Supreme Command make up its mind to quell the riots in New York, Tokyo, and the city that never sleeps as quickly as possible, and fully prepare for an all-out war with the rebels on the asteroid belt defense line.

2042 9 Month 25 Day.

Hundreds of thousands of federal troops marched straight in under the mecha troop center's blooming tactics, decisively killed tens of thousands of illegal armed bandits, and completely controlled these three large cities.

In the following month, the federal army, with the assistance of the Federal Security Service and the Federal Police Administration, launched a full-scale attack to uproot the rebels and all forces that turned against the rebels on the earth and the moon.

At the same time, almost all the evil forces and illegal organizations that have been entrenched in human society for many years have also been wiped out.

A comprehensive strike with the planet as the area leaves these people with nowhere to escape.

Scarlet October cleared up the human society in the federation area, and the solar system human federation was united like never before.

2042 11 Month 1 Day.

In response to the Federation's move, Robin finally tore off the last fig leaf.

The Jupiter-Saturn Autonomous Government issued a notice that the Jupiter-Saturn human colony officially broke away from the Solar System Federation, established the Anglo-Saxon Empire, and declared that the entire solar system belonged to the empire's territory.

Robin Farias was elected as the first emperor of the empire, and His Majesty personally appointed a large number of high-ranking officials of the empire, including Hans von Bachmann as the prime minister of the empire and Paul Heimann as the commander-in-chief of the imperial army.

As the empire voluntarily cut off all ties with the Federation, the subsequent condemnation by the Federation spokesperson became a one-man show.

From this day onwards, this solar system war is no longer a federal civil war, but a formal war between two countries, fighting for the control of the solar system, and the losing side has no way out.

Beginning in mid-November, the reorganized and reinforced Imperial Army launched a full-scale attack on the federal territory of the asteroid belt.

The federal army, with the Second Space Fleet as the main force, relied on more than 200 large and small asteroid military bases to fight back.

Sima Bei, the commander-in-chief of the federal army, personally sits on Ceres, and adopts the strategy of avoiding the decisive battle of the main force and annihilating the enemy in motion.

Due to the intricate relative motion between the planets and asteroids in the solar system, the vast battlefield space, and the high-speed maneuvering space fleet, the battle for the asteroid belt is completely different from the traditional way of warfare.

The three major elements of warfare, time, location, and people, have lost their traditional concepts, and this is a new challenge for the commanders on both sides.

2042 11 Month 30 Day.

The Sussex Fleet of the Imperial Army assembled 21 large and medium-sized space battleships to attack the Federation's asteroid 2075 Martinez.

The radius of Martinez is only 15 kilometers, and the Federal Army has deployed 3000 defense troops and a small number of ground artillery and underground fortifications on it.

At this time, Martinez is moving to a position about 2 million kilometers away from Pallas and 3 million kilometers away from Ceres.

According to the assessment of the Imperial Army's General Staff, the Federal Army would not dare to exchange fire with the Imperial Army at this distance, and the Sussex Fleet would easily capture the asteroid.

But when the Imperial Army arrived in the Martinez airspace, it was ambushed by the main force of the Federal Army's Second Space Fleet.

The federal fleet, consisting of the Qianhuang and Gaoxin Qinglong aircraft carriers as the main battleships, and the 32-ship Chongmingbird-class space frigate, sailed into the airspace of Martinez without anyone noticing it in the void 2 million kilometers below the ecliptic plane of the asteroid belt. .

When the Sussex fleet launched an attack on Martinez, the federal fleet suddenly rushed into the battlefield from both sides at high speed, forming a three-sided attack on the imperial army.

Under the suppression of the Qinglong aircraft carrier's firepower, tens of thousands of space unmanned fighter jets acted as the vanguard, and tens of thousands of federal army mech fighters drove thousands of locust-class assault ships to launch a fierce attack on the Sussex fleet.

The Sussex fleet has descended to an extremely slow speed because it is preparing to attack the asteroid.

Facing the sudden attack of the Federation Fleet, it was too late to escape, so they had to call for help from Pallas headquarters while resisting on the spot.

This is the first time that the Federal Army's Locust-class assault ship has appeared on the battlefield. Although the maneuverability in a small area is not as good as that of individual mechas, the ability to sprint in a straight line at a distance of several thousand kilometers is not comparable to that of mechas.

The federal mecha fighters driving the locust-class assault ship are like cavalry on the ancient battlefield, and they rushed into the defense line composed of the imperial army's mecha troops, space fighters, and drones with lightning speed.

One soldier was driving the assault ship, and two soldiers were standing on both sides of the ship with long knives. Using the high-speed impact of the assault ship, they easily harvested the lives of the imperial army's mech fighters.

More than 8 locust-class assault ships launched a charge together, forming a powerful impact, exerting the power of the heavy cavalry phalanx on the ancient battlefield, destroying and overwhelming.

Although the Imperial Army's mecha corps, which is dominated by genetic fighters, fought back desperately, it was like a mantis blocking a car with its arms.

Five minutes later, the torrent of federal army mechs broke through the three lines of defense of the imperial army, and the space battleships of the Sussex Fleet were exposed to the direct attack of the federal army.

Hundreds of heavy and large electromagnetic guns on the Qianhuang and Gaoxin Qinglong aircraft carriers opened fire with all their strength, completely suppressing the artillery on the main battleship of the Imperial Army.

The advantages of the shape of the Qinglong aircraft carrier's delta flying wing in space warfare have also emerged. The turrets installed on the upper and lower sides of the wing can form dense firepower coverage through the inclination of the hull.

When the artillery is charged, the hull can be adjusted. The narrow side of the hull can minimize the attack of enemy artillery.

Under the saturation attack of the two Qinglong aircraft carriers, the space battleships of the Sussex fleet lost their ability to fight back.

At this time, hundreds of Locust-class assault ships had rushed in front of the space battleships of the Sussex fleet, crashing into the hull of the enemy ship one after another, sending the mech fighters into the cabin.

The final scene of the Vesta air battle from a few months ago is here again!

Only this time, countless federal mecha fighters climbed onto the battleships of the Imperial Army and began boarding the battleships, eliminating the crew and crew in the battleships, and snatching the battleships.

In order to deal with the war of seizing ships under new technological conditions and prevent enemy ships from committing violence, Kunlun Research Institute invented a new type of network equipment.

After the assault ship enters the interior of the enemy warship, it can connect to the internal network of the battleship, and then paralyze the command and communication system of the battleship, thus effectively preventing the enemy from detonating the nuclear-powered engine to blow up the warship.

Half an hour later, except for the 8 medium-sized space battleships destroyed by the powerful firepower of the Qinglong aircraft carrier, all the other 13 warships of the Sussex fleet were captured, and more than 2 Imperial Army officers and soldiers including the squadron commander were killed.

The Sussex Fleet of the Imperial Army was wiped out, the Federal Army lost only thousands of space drones and more than 500 assault ships, and the mech troops suffered more than 3000 casualties!

Five hours later, when the main fleet of the Imperial Army arrived in the airspace of Martinez, there was no trace of the Federal Army except for a wreck of a warship in the starry sky.

Even the Federal Army on the Martinez asteroid was withdrawn, and the ground artillery and fortifications were blown up.

At this time, the news of Martinez's victory in the air battle had spread throughout the Human Federation of the Solar System. This was the first major victory of the Federation Army since the outbreak of the war, which greatly boosted the morale of the Federation soldiers and civilians.

The myth that the imperial army is invincible has been broken!
