Chapter 541, Surrender, All the Ships Outside Are Ours
Carduso brought a dejected general out of the command post.
Outside the door, the diplomat of the Alliance was waiting.
Looking down at this mortal, a trace of admiration flashed in Carduso's eyes.
The young man was very courageous. With only a dozen guards protecting him, he remained calm and knew what he should do.
But his tone was not gentle: "I'll leave it to you. You have to complete your mission."
After the diplomat saluted, he took the general to an office next door and started talking.
And Carduso personally led the team and participated in the battle outside.
Originally, all members of the Phoenix Regiment were on the main fleet of the Alliance, ready to fight against the two major regiments of Fury Flame and New World Torch at any time.
But as the opponent retreated, the Alliance's strategic goal in the Proud Claw Star Region shifted to digestion and defense on the spot, and the demand for space warriors was not so great.
It was just right to come back to Shangdongxing to solve the worries.
After many diplomatic communications, nothing happened. In addition, the negotiations were slowly making progress, which made the commander of the garrison somewhat careless.
Actually, he was not too careless.
The number of escorts was required to be no more than 100, and the ships that came to dock could only be the smallest travelers. What else could he do?
The appearance of 300 Space Marines was really too sudden.
Karduso personally led 300 combat brothers and instantly defeated the garrison in the starport docking area.
Then, they rushed forward and joined the friendly forces that had set off earlier.
The soldiers guarding the diplomats were actually all masters, all elites from the Alliance's Glory Guards.
However, in order to avoid the enemy's vigilance, the Glory Guards did not wear a full set of power armor, but chose a more low-key exoskeleton armor.
When the Phoenix rushed out, the 100-man group that also received the information also launched their own actions.
Their goal was to rush directly to the scheduled negotiation site, preferably to capture the enemy's highest commander, who had been negotiating with the Alliance.
If they can't do it, the secondary task is to protect their diplomats and wait for the rescue of the Space Marines.
The elite of the Glory Guards is already very powerful. Unfortunately, they were not fully equipped, had too few people, and their opponents were not too bad. After all, they were the products of the Princess Legion. In the end, they still failed to capture the other side directly.
The Princess Rebels were caught off guard and were a little dizzy at first by the elite Glory Guards. But they quickly reacted, mobilized heavy troops, surrounded and intercepted, and escorted their generals away.
Although the Glory Guards failed to capture the target directly, at least they fought to the door of the meeting hall where the meeting was scheduled, and cut off the route for the enemy generals to evacuate, blocking them behind the door.
Such a large conference hall, with windows and back doors. It is impossible for the Glory Guards, who have suffered losses along the way and now have less than 100 people, to block the whole place.
Even if other places are dangerous, there is a terrace on the top floor of the building where aircraft passing through the starport can come and pick people up.
Of course, there will be some risks, such as who knows if the alliance soldiers below have any anti-aircraft weapons? Is there an ambush at the back door?
But in general, General Wang Ningyi, who is responsible for commanding the garrison of Upper East Star, has a great chance to evacuate.
However, he made a big mistake.
Maybe he felt very embarrassed, or maybe it was because the previous exchanges and discussions were suddenly invalidated, which made him feel a kind of anger of being fooled and betrayed, or maybe he simply felt that the alliance troops with less than 100 people who came to the door were not a big problem...
In short, he missed a good opportunity to evacuate.
He personally led the guards around him and tried to work together with the external siege troops to directly defeat the 100-man Glory Guards.
Wang Ningyi wanted to catch the diplomat of the alliance with his own hands, and then ask him if he regretted it.
However, it is not clear whether the other party regretted it or not, but he regretted it anyway.
The combat effectiveness of the Glory Guards is certainly inferior to that of the Space Marines. However, they still held firm under the siege of several times the number of enemies that gathered in a short period of time.
Wang Ningyi was furious and ordered to deploy more heavy weapons. Cannons and heavy armored vehicles that can run in the star port can all come, and these enemies must be defeated.
However, another piece of news calmed him down.
The three hundred Phoenix Space Marines that jumped out of the small boat of the Alliance had killed through the defense line of the temporary mobilization organization in a blink of an eye, and the latest intelligence had reached a place not far from where he was now.
Or... let's hide first?
With this idea in mind, he finally decided to be timid.
With a few of his closest guards, he came to the large terrace on the fourth floor of the conference hall. Here, there was already a hovercraft waiting.
At the same time, the ground army also launched a fierce offensive against those Alliance people.
Although he didn't want to defeat the opponent, he could at least suppress the opponent through a strong attack and provide some cover and help for General Wang Ningyi's evacuation.
The moment General Wang Ningyi stepped onto the terrace, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
He looked around and saw the airship hovering quietly in the air. The guards around him were watching nervously, with their weapons ready to fire at any time.
However, just as he was about to step into the airship, there was a sharp whistling sound.
This sound was a bit familiar - heavy bolter!
"Run!"
He heard someone shouting loudly.
He didn't dare to hesitate at all, turned around and ran back.
This saved his life.
The heavy bolter tore through the fragile outer armor of the airship, creating a series of craters. The guards who got on the car first, as well as the driver, were all beaten to pieces.
If he had gotten on the car, he would have lost his life.
Fortunately, he ran fast, and the bomb also shattered the engine and energy tank of the airship, which then caused an explosion.
The fire and smoke engulfed the airship, tearing it into countless pieces.
Wang Ningyi and his guards were shaken by the shock wave and were almost unable to stand.
In the chaos, six Phoenix Space Marines were already shuttling through the battlefield like ghosts. They were wearing bright red power armor, holding high-energy weapons, and quickly approached Wang Ningyi's position.
Wang Ningyi tried to organize a counterattack, but his guards were already in chaos in this sudden attack.
The Space Marines calmly and efficiently dealt with the guards who resisted, and soon subdued all the remaining people.
Wang Ningyi was arrested just like that.
But he was still very tough.
In the subsequent communication with the Alliance diplomat-Jusepe, he still refused to surrender.
"It's useless to arrest me. The Royal Princess Legion will never surrender!"
He said so, sticking his neck out and begging for death.
But Jusepe didn't really want his life, and he was still persuading him.
And during their communication, the battle outside never stopped.
Led by Carduso himself, the six Phoenix Space Marines who arrived first helped to solve the battle in the parliament hall, and continued to help the remaining Glory Guards strengthen the defense line.
At the same time, Karduso also contacted other teams to keep abreast of the progress of the combat mission.
Beheading and capturing the enemy commander-in-chief is an important goal, but other mission goals cannot be ignored.
The space warriors divided into tactical teams will control the key areas of the weapon systems in various star ports.
The Upper East Star is being fortified everywhere, so as the largest space facility in the entire orbital space area, his Upper East Star Port is a place that cannot be missed.
In fact, the Upper East Star Port is the largest star fortress in the entire Upper East Star orbit. The other two heavy star fortresses are not as heavily guarded as this one.
If we can control this place, it will be of great significance.
The glory guards who lurked in earlier also launched a surprise attack at a critical moment.
They were also divided into teams and lurked everywhere. Once the Phoenix Space Warriors launched an assault, they would rush out from behind, catch the defenders off guard, and lead the Phoenixes to the real key points.
The starport of Shangdongxing is very large, with a total population of more than 600,000 people. In addition to some necessary civilian units such as engineers, logistics, and building maintenance, there are 400,000 serious soldiers.
They are stationed in various places in the starport, and they were all alarmed at this time.
It is unrealistic for the Phoenix to kill all the enemy troops in the starport.
However, nothing can stop them from conquering key areas.
The individual combat capabilities of the Space Marines have been greatly demonstrated in this environment.
The defenders in the starport are seriously lacking in things that can fight against the Space Marines. Heavy tanks cannot be driven in many places, and the Space Marines will not be stupid enough to rush and fight hard in places that can be driven; a few sentinel mechas and feedback power armor elites can be regarded as threats, but they are just threats.
The warriors of the Phoenix are not just as simple as the Space Marines. Gu Hang was very cautious when building the Phoenix regiment because he was worried that he could not be compared with the Iron Armor in the current sensitive environment.
He is fully capable of allowing the Phoenix to "regenerate" and make it very large.
But in that case, it is not easy to explain where the seeds came from. After all, the previous statement was that Martins and his team retained the original gene seed bank. This statement can only be exposed by the four veterans who survived the Hundred Years of Atonement Expedition, but they obviously cannot expose themselves.
On the other hand, it is also to avoid being labeled as similar to Iron Armor for regeneration.
Although at this critical moment, the Empire still has to rely on Gu Hang to fight with the Iron Armor Regiment, most of the time they will not make trouble for this matter and will turn a blind eye. But obviously, these things will be recorded in the account and become evidence of guilt for subsequent settlement.
It is not bad to have fewer handles.
Since it is not easy to start with quantity, then think of ways to improve quality.
The Phoenix Regiment is not a champion for all members, but at least it is a problem for all members to be elite veterans.
Refer to the experience of the Alliance Army on Yuehe VII. A few ordinary Space Marines are able to turn a fortress guarded by hundreds of thousands of people upside down, not to mention that three hundred elite veteran Space Marines were directly deployed here in the Upper East Star Port.
Just six hours later, most of the firepower systems of the Upper East Star Port were controlled by the Space Marines.
A tactical team of ten people controlled more than twenty firepower points; the rest guarded the control system, ammunition depot, command center and other places.
The rebels who lost their commander-in-chief still had a strong degree of organization. They launched wave after wave of fierce counterattacks, trying to recapture these key areas.
However, in the hands of the Phoenixes, these battles failed.
At the same time, under the control of the Space Marines, the orbital guns of the Upper East Star Port slowly started.
The muzzle was aimed at the buttocks of the outer star fortress.
Fire.
The star fortress collapsed.
The outer star fortress had received the message, but there was no way to dodge. With the power system equipped on the star fortress, it was impossible to do such a difficult action.
Compared with the thickness of the front armor, the back of the star fortress did not have such a strong protection capability.
The firepower equipped on the star fortress could not turn around to attack its own star port.
After the attack on the star fortress, the firepower in the star port was still under the control of the space warriors, turning to attack the remaining armed space stations.
…
"Look, look." Carrying the tied-up General Wang Ningyi to the terrace, the Alliance diplomat Huseppe said with great sorrow, "Every explosion represents the sacrifice of countless brave soldiers! These are all your mistakes!"
Wang Ningyi stared at Huseppe fiercely, cursing.
But in fact, he was really heartbroken.
Why did he communicate with the Alliance diplomats? Why did he let the Alliance ships in?
So what if he didn't know all the news from the outside world?
When he parted with Captain Paulitos, didn't he have to be told to hold on to the end?
He had to try to get information from the outside world through communication with the Alliance diplomats.
What is there to know?
There is not a single truth in these people's mouths!
And he also revealed a flaw and was attacked in the face!
From this perspective, what is happening now is indeed his responsibility!
"I should have killed you the first time you came!" He said to Jusepe.
"But you didn't do it, did you?" Jusepe said, "Since you have made a mistake, don't keep making it. Surrender, there are all our ships outside. Now the firepower of the starport has been controlled by us, two star fortresses have been destroyed, and countless space stations have been damaged. Surrender, General, this will save more lives. At this point, you can no longer resist."
