Chapter 474 Pallas Star Battle (1)

After listening to the expected plan for the Pallas battle, the generals participating in the meeting were all in high spirits. They had been waiting for this day for too long.

However, some people also raised doubts. Such a large military operation must not be kept secret. What if the main force of the imperial army abandons Pallas and escapes?
Meng Ye personally answered that Pallas is the strongest military base of the empire in the asteroid belt, and without Pallas, the Imperial Army has no barriers in the asteroid belt.

If they escape, although it will prolong the war, it will reduce the losses caused by the federal army's storming Pallas.

The Federation is happy to see the Imperial Army abandon Pallas, which means that the Empire has completely lost the war.

In addition, some people doubt whether the imperial army on Pallas will receive reinforcements from the mainland at the critical moment of the battle, which will increase the variables of the war.

Meng Ye said with a smile that the reinforcements from the empire arrived on Pallas half a month ago, and there were only more than 60 ordinary soldiers.

The empire's military resources have been exhausted, and it is difficult to assemble a strong reinforcement in a short period of time.

Meng Ye's explanation made the senior generals participating in the meeting no longer have any doubts, and they all expressed that they would live up to the Federation's high expectations and win this crucial space battle.

After the meeting, the theater command reported the plan of the battle on Pallas to the Supreme Command of the Federation. After verification and repeated deduction by the General Command of the Federal Army, it was believed that the victory was more than [-]%.

The Federal Supreme Command approved the possibly largest space battle in the history of human warfare.

The next day, June 6, the battle plan for the Battle of Pallas was distributed to the commanders of each fleet and mecha unit.

Starting from June 6th, the six space fleets of the Federal Army equipped with mecha troops rushed to the designated combat airspace to perform vigilance.

The remaining four space fleets rushed to the battlefield before the war started after the asteroid military fortress arrived, so as to prevent the imperial army from jumping over the wall and counterattacking Ceres.

On that day, 36 asteroids on the periphery of Ceres activated their planetary engines and began to slowly change their orbits.

Five days later, 36 asteroids flew to the predetermined airspace under the escort of two space fleets.

Twelve days later, on June 6, four more space fleets set off from Ceres.

Yang Shijun's Space Fleet 15 was arranged to set off in the last batch, and he could only watch helplessly as the extremely noisy Ceres gradually quieted down, and millions of mech troops boarded space battleships and rushed to the battlefield.

Sixteen days later, at six o'clock in the morning on June 6.

It was finally the turn of the 15th Space Fleet to set off. Yang Shijun was delighted to find that among the three mech legions carried by his fleet was the Sixth Mecha Army, the most elite Federation Army in the asteroid belt theater.

The Federation's space fleet has three mecha legions with fixed configurations. Since the 15th Fleet has just been formed, this is the first time that it has been reorganized and set off with a full load.

The combat capability of the mecha troops carried by the space fleet directly determines the offensive and defensive capabilities of the space fleet.

As the new fleet of the 15th Fleet, Yang Shijun did not expect to be assigned a powerful mecha corps.

As can be seen from the numbers, the Sixth Mecha Army is the earliest mecha army in the Federation.

This troop has participated in all the large-scale battles in the asteroid belt. After a long battle and great achievements, it was awarded the title of "Blue Dragon Legion" by the Federal Army Command. It is the only machine in the Federation Army with an exclusive title. A Legion.

Yang Shijun and his deputy commander Pan Yong received the commanders of the three mech legions at the command center of the fleet flagship Asia [-] space battleship.

In the federal army's combat command system, the mecha corps is subordinate to the space fleet it is on, and is under the unified command of the fleet commander, so the three corps commanders are also his direct subordinates.

"General Yang, the Sixth Mecha Army is ordered to report!"

"General Yang, the 21st Mecha Corps has been ordered to report!"

"General Yang, the 47st Mecha Corps has been ordered to report!"

The three army commanders who were not very old stood at attention in front of Yang Shijun and saluted, and reported loudly.

Yang Shijun stood at attention and returned the salute, "Welcome to the 15th Federal Space Fleet!"

He set his sights on the youngest of them, the regiment commander, who was a tall, slender, heroic and high-ranking military officer at the warlord level.

It is said that he is only 27 years old this year. He is currently the youngest general in the Federation Army, but he has made a lot of military achievements and is famous for his bravery and skill in combat.

A sharp-edged face with a pair of piercing eyes, revealing fortitude and wisdom, as well as strong self-confidence.

Yang Shijun nodded secretly, he stretched out his hand to hold the hands of the young warlord, "General Zhong Yi, I have known you for a long time!"

Zhong Yi is also very familiar with Yang Shijun's deeds, and he is also a very respectable federal soldier.

At present, none of the new generation of senior generals in the federal army has climbed out of the bloody wind and the sea of ​​corpses, and everyone is sympathetic to each other.

After introducing each other, Pan Yong helped Yang Shijun ask everyone's doubts, how could such an ace mecha unit like the Sixth Mecha Army be assigned to the 15th Fleet.

Although Pan Yong didn't underestimate his own fleet, the 15th Fleet was indeed just formed and could only be regarded as a second-rate fleet in the federal army's combat sequence, so it was also performing a late mission.

There must be a reason for the Sixth Mecha Army to be transferred from the original Second Space Fleet.

Zhong Yi could only repeat the original words of his superiors, saying that the Ceres Federation Army expanded, the original organization was disrupted, and dozens of fleet and legion-level combat units were randomly combined.

In fact, Zhong Yi knew what was going on, but he couldn't say it.

When he was an officer in the middle and lower ranks, the theater headquarters in Ceres did not know that Zhong Cheng's son served under them.

But when he was promoted to the head of the Sixth Mecha Army this year, he came into Mengye's sight.

Meng Ye had met Zhong Cheng before, and he felt familiar when he saw Zhong Yi.

After specifically checking his files, and knowing that Zhong Yi is the instructor's son, Meng Ye dared not assign too dangerous tasks to the Sixth Mecha Army.

In space combat, even officers at the level of the regiment commander are also very dangerous. Once defeated, senior generals are never allowed to fall into the enemy's hands. It is an unwritten rule within the Federation Army.

In this Pallas battle, the Second Space Fleet, the ace fleet of the Federal Army, was the vanguard of the attack. Because of Zhong Yi, the Sixth Mecha Army was transferred from the Second Fleet for some inexplicable reason.

Zhong Cheng took personal risks and used hundreds of thousands of second-line troops to contain the main force of the imperial army. In the end, the weak defeated the strong and reversed the situation of the entire war.

His achievements are widely circulated in the Federation, and his reputation in the Federation Army is even greater, and he is known as the "Military God" of the Federation Army.

While Zhong Yi is proud of his father, he also feels pressured. Now that the war is coming to an end, how many opportunities does he have to make contributions?
