Chapter 520 Decisive Victory over Jupiter
After the high-level meeting of the coalition forces on December 12, the Jupiter Expeditionary Force resumed its offensive, but the intensity of the offensive was greatly reduced.

It was not until mid-January 2049 that the new generation of Zerg army formed a scale, and the Jupiter Expeditionary Force launched a full-scale attack again.

Since the Zerg had sufficient supplies, the Jupiter Expeditionary Force began to deploy the Zerg army on a large scale in the inner space of Jupiter regardless of the cost.

By the end of January, the coalition forces had put 1 billion bug swarms on the battlefield, forming an absolute advantage over the demon army.

2 month 15 day.

As the larger satellites such as Jupiter XIII, Jupiter, Jupiter, and Jupiter were all captured by the coalition forces, the inner space defense line of the demon Jupiter was completely lost.

The Jupiter Expeditionary Force took advantage of the situation to enter the core layer of Jupiter's colonial area, successively capturing Jupiter XVI, Jupiter XIV, Jupiter V, and Jupiter XV.

On April 4st, the Demon Race's space fleet and space forces were finally exhausted, and all power was blocked on the four super-large satellites of Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. There is no possibility of escape.

The first phase of the Jupiter campaign has been achieved!
Although it was far beyond the expected time, it still allowed the high-level coalition forces to let go of all worries, and the overall situation of the war has been decided.

4 month 2 day.

The plan to attack four super-large satellites was confirmed at the high-level meeting of the coalition forces.

The smallest of these four satellites, Europa, is about the size of the moon, and the largest, Ganymede, is as large as Mars.

All the permanent population of Jupiter's colonial area, more than 4 million, lived in hundreds of underground cities on these four satellites.

The capture of each of the satellites is a separate war, and the coalition forces have set up four theaters for this purpose, each responsible for the battle of a satellite.

As for the candidates for the front-line commanders in the theater, the high-level coalition forces quickly identified two, Paul and Dongfang Unbeaten, but the other two were very controversial.

Zhong Cheng sits in command and directs the overall situation, so he must be excluded.

Meng Ye was responsible for the command and coordination of the space fleet, and he had no experience in ground warfare, so his application was also rejected.

In the end, Dongfang Invincible elected Michael, the general of the Forgotten Clan, which was approved by most people.

Michael performed very well during the Earth War to the first phase of the Battle of Jupiter. Whether he was commanding the Zerg army or coordinating with the Federation Army, he was able to do a job with ease. He was a leader among the top generals of the Forsaken.

Zhong Cheng didn't like his gloomy and ruthless personality very much, but he thought that he might be prejudiced against him because of his Western identity, so he didn't object.

As for the No. 4 candidate, Paul recommended Zhong Yi. He believed that although Zhong Yi was young, he possessed all the qualities of an excellent commander, and he could completely lead the army and stand alone.

After Paul's nomination, it was inconvenient for everyone to oppose or recognize Zhong Yi's ability, and the decision was left to Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng saw the irrepressible longing in his son's eyes, and thought that this was already the last battle, and there was no need for public or private objection.

So he nodded in agreement, only emphasizing that if Zhong Yi was unable to command, he would be dismissed at any time.

The meeting finally decided that Dongfang Invincible was in charge of the Io war zone, Zhong Yi was in charge of the Io war zone, Michael was in charge of the Callisto war zone, and Paul was in charge of the most important Ganymede war zone.

Although it is very difficult, Zhong Cheng still hopes that the commanders in the theater can complete the goal before October 10.

Before the special day of October 2049, 10, end the seven-year war and usher in the true peaceful reunification of human society.

Although this is Zhong Cheng's personal wish, it also represents the wish of the vast majority of federal officials and most of the federal people.

4 month 5 day.

The coalition forces attacked the four core planets in the Jupiter colony in four directions, which opened the curtain of the second phase of the Jupiter campaign.

Since these four planets only have very thin atmospheres, they cannot form a natural defense capability against the coalition space battleships, and small and medium-sized space battleships can even land directly on the planet's surface.

The demon army did not stop the coalition's landing operation, they directly gave up the battle with the coalition forces on the surface of the satellite, and all retreated into the underground city.

On the second day, the four theaters of the coalition forces established their respective theater headquarters on the ground of the satellite. A week later, several large surface space ports were built, and a large number of ground combat troops began to be transported to the surface of the satellite.

4 month 15 day.

The coalition forces used the Zerg army as the main vanguard, broke through the ground entrances of dozens of cities, and began to attack the underground cities entrenched by the demon army.

The coalition forces were fiercely blocked by the demon army, and it was difficult for the coalition forces to unleash their artillery power, so they had to rely on the flesh and blood of the Zerg army to open the way.

The battle situation has been extremely tragic from the very beginning, and the strength of the Xel'Naga demon warriors has been infinitely magnified. Often, a small team can hold out in a passage for several days, killing thousands of Zerg.

The order issued by the high-level coalition forces is to try not to sacrifice human soldiers.

Under such circumstances, progress in various theaters has been unusually slow.

It was Zhong Yi who first came up with the idea of ​​dismantling the large and medium-sized electromagnetic guns on the space battleship in the Europa War Zone and sending them into the underground city for fire suppression, which broke the deadlock.

Although the resistance of the demon army was tenacious, they were still retreating steadily under the continuous attack of the Zerg army regardless of casualties, and the flames of war continued to spread deep underground.

5 months later, on September 9th.

The Europa World War II area first ended the war. The coalition forces captured all the underground cities on Europa. More than 2000 million demon troops were wiped out, and more than 3000 million people from the original empire were rescued.

Immediately after more than ten days, the wars in the Io and Callisto theaters also ended one after another, leaving only the battle on Ganymede, the home of the demons, continuing.

Zhong Cheng ordered the theater coalition forces to end the war to temporarily rescue the people and repair the damaged underground city life support system on the original planet.

Ganymede's war is coming to an end, and the vanguard of the coalition forces has already attacked Ganymede's underground ocean.

9 month 25 day.

Accompanied by Deng Jinhai, Shi Hanxing and others, Zhong Cheng landed on Ganymede on a supply ship.

For this long-known planet, Zhong Cheng thought of visiting it more than ten years ago.

In June 2034, Starnet's Super Challenger space shuttle carried more than 6 humans to land on Ganymede for the first time, creating a precedent for humans to go to the outer space of the solar system.

On this land, which is [-] million kilometers away from the earth on average, they built a magnificent extraterrestrial human colony from scratch, and eventually spread throughout the entire Jupiter satellite group and Saturn satellite group, which is the largest human settlement outside the earth.

Putting aside his position, Zhong Cheng admired this from the bottom of his heart.

Due to the hostility of Xingwang Company to him and Red Star Company, and the subsequent rebellion in the Jupiter-Saturn colonial area, the establishment of the Empire, and the raging demons, Zhong Cheng's planned trip to Ganymede has been postponed for 15 years.
