Chapter 660, the Trend of Linkage

The battle of Wanzhou Star has begun.

This battle is regarded as the most important battle on the western front.

The three parties involved in the war have invested more than 10,000 interstellar warriors in total. On the surface of Wanzhou Star, hundreds of millions of elite troops are fighting fiercely.

In the galaxy, the two sides have more than 20 giant ships in total, with thousands of warships, attacking each other.

The battle has lasted for two months.

And this is actually the seventh month since Martins led the army to the hinterland of the Baimu Star Region to support Salilius.

Solving the initial problem is only the first step. After the military meeting, Martins and Salilius decided on the main strategy of stabilizing the east and attacking the west.

Facing the swarm of insects swarming out of the Queen Star Region, the eastern front is mainly defensive.

The basic strategy is to keep the existing force configuration unchanged, with about 1,500 interstellar warriors and a fleet guarding here.

Of course, in terms of war resources, it must be fully equipped.

The core element of this strategy is to judge that from the east, there will not be a higher order of magnitude of Zerg enemies in the Queen Star Region.

And the reason why such a judgment can be made is that Governor Gu has also moved.

On the east side of the Queen Star Region, the main force of the alliance led by Gu Hang entered the subspace shadow covering the entire Queen Star Region from the Alfonzo Star Region.

Of course, after entering the subspace shadow, Gu Hang's large force can still maintain contact with Martins and Salilius.

It's not that Gu Hang has come up with any communication methods that can penetrate the subspace shadow. On the contrary, he just used some earthy methods.

Gu Hang will regularly send some ships to leave the Queen Star Region and return to the Alfonzo Star Region. If there is any news, he can use the Star Language Tower built in the Alfonzo Star Region to communicate with the west line separated by two star regions.

After entering the Queen Star Region, Gu Hang's actions can be said to be steady and steady.

Moreover, the means have changed from the past gentleness to become fierce and indifferent.

In the galaxy, the battle between the human fleet and the hive fleet was basically a steady pressure all the way.

The hive fleet has no resistance? No one dares to make such a judgment, and Gu Hang himself will not say it nonsense. But at present, at least the hive fleet has not yet put on the intention of gathering all the ship forces to fight a decisive battle in the star sea with Gu Hang.

This also makes the swarm give up the sea control of many worlds.

In the face of these worlds, Gu Hang has three plans: full occupation, extermination order, and abandonment.

The number of the three situations decreases in turn.

The number of planets that will be fully occupied is the least, even only in the single digit.

They were taken down to be used as important bases.

The way of fighting is definitely not to send troops to fight bit by bit.

Garrisons are definitely needed, but Gu Hang asked the Alfonzo sect to expand the production capacity at full speed at all costs during this period. After several months of hoarding, the number of virus bombs has become quite large.

It is a bit difficult to use it in full, but at the necessary moment, on a few planets, in key battles, being willing to spend more and bombarding more can not only greatly reduce casualties on one's side, but more importantly, it can save fighting time.

The most accurate means of delivery on the starship is missiles.

A lot of money must have been spent, but the effect is also obvious.

After the bombing, it is construction.

The Alliance will mobilize its own construction capabilities and the construction capabilities of the Aramita Sect (a considerable part of which is the remnant of the Alfonzo Sect), and in a very short time, the rail guns and star fortresses will be deployed. The former is easy to say, but the latter is definitely not manufactured on site, but the star fortresses that have been built or even on other planets will be dragged out and placed in a new place.

After the defense force is built, a large amount of supplies and reserve troops will be transported and stored on these planets to provide strong support for subsequent operations.

As for the second category, that is, the category that was ordered to be exterminated, there are a lot of them.

They generally have two characteristics: on the way forward for the alliance, and there are huge numbers of Zerg or infected people inside the planet.

Such planets must be destroyed.

Even though there is nothing nearby that can break through the atmosphere and enter space, threatening Gu Hang's power. However, after experiencing the previous riots, Gu Hang realized that the Zerg, at least when the number of Zerg gathers to a certain extent, they digest themselves, reorganize biomass, and evolve into biological starships.

This must be eliminated.

One of the reasons why the Northern Front Legion was finished was that they did not expect this, and there was no similar report in the Empire's previous Zerg war reports. The Zerg builds their hive fleets, often in the rear, which is stable for them, or simply on the Zerg mothership after absorbing enough biomass.

The Zerg that "cooperates" with the Iron Armored Corps and the Alfonzo Sect has demonstrated a new ability. At present, it is still unknown whether this ability is originally possessed by the Zerg, but it has not been used or observed in past wars, or whether it is a new means of evolution.

But since Gu Hang already knows about it, it is impossible for him to leave such a big hidden danger on his marching route.

The extermination order is used at times like this.

As for whether there are still loyalists left on the planet... it is not within the scope of consideration.

But this action is a huge challenge to the Alliance's inventory of extinction order weapons.

Gu Hang has only one of the new 'Ground Destroyer Star' he got, and it has not been used yet.

This one was pulled out of the black box.

All the 'Burning Sky Torpedoes' are used.

The production line of this thing has never been fully started. After Gu Hang drew this technology, he felt that its use was relatively narrow, so he did not produce it vigorously.

In most cases, of course, it is right.

But isn't this just a few cases?

The places where the extinction order is needed are so dense.

Back then, when Gu Hang broke into the heart of the Iron Tooth Orc Empire and cleared out those greenskins, he didn't use so many.

Of course, the situation is different and cannot be generalized.

But then again, even so, Gu Hang did not regret not mass-producing the Burning Sky Torpedoes back then, but only built a production line and used the mother machine black box to slowly produce it.

That's right.

The cost of building a Burning Sky Torpedo is nearly 2 billion tax coins - not counting the black box, which is very low.

It is very expensive to expand its production line, and it is also very expensive to manufacture it. The price of building a Burning Sky Torpedo is enough to build a Moon-class cruiser with five of them.

The Burning Sky Torpedo can only destroy, not occupy. What's more, it is very easy to be intercepted. This thing is useless if you build too many.

So far, the number of Burning Sky Torpedoes still in the hands of the Alliance is only less than 20.

But if used well, this is a weapon that can completely destroy two star regions!

Of course, this number is still very different from the overall scale of hundreds of worlds in the Queen Star Region.

But Gu Hang has never thought of using the Extinction Order weapon to plant mushrooms on every planet in the Queen Star Region.

That is too expensive and unrealistic.

What's more, the conditions of many planets do not require Burning Sky Torpedoes at all.

This is Gu Hang's third idea: there are some planets that are not on his route, do not block the way, and have a small number of Zerg or infected people after a rough calculation, so just ignore them.

It's not that he doesn't care at all, just arrange an observation post to watch.

Just look at one point: don't let a large Zerg fleet suddenly fly out on this planet.

The probability is actually not high. The Zerg needs a huge amount of biomass to evolve into a large-scale biological ship. On those planets where the infected and Zerg scale is relatively small, the natural environment is often quite harsh. It is unrealistic for the Zerg to accumulate so much biomass. At best, some small ships will fly out, but the threat level is very low.

If all dangers can be killed, it would definitely be the best. However, the time cost and manpower cost are very high. If you really want to clean up the planets one by one, no matter how strong the foundation of the alliance is, it will not be able to support such a large investment.

Comparing consumption with the Zerg is simply a decision that only the stupidest commander can make.

From this point of view, we also need to have a certain degree of understanding of Marshal Leroy, the commander-in-chief of the northern line. When he was thinking about ending the war as soon as possible, he had no way to manage the rotten worlds in the rear like the Alliance.

Gu Hang spent more than two years to slowly clean up the Jingjie and Alfonzo star fields, which were much better than the two star fields of Lefo and Jianmen in the northern line.

And how long would it take Leroy to clean up Lefo and Jianmen?

Four years? Six years?

He couldn't wait.

Then he was finished.

But Gu Hang didn't really believe that the Northern Line Legion, which had a huge fleet, more than 4,000 space warriors, and strong support from the Inquisition, was wiped out like this?

There were hundreds of millions of troops, including many elite ones. As long as they were directly destroyed while everyone was still on the ship, and all the members were buried in space, then it was normal that a considerable number of them could persist until now.

It's not so easy to kill hundreds of millions of pigs.

Going to get a hand and see how many of the North Line Legion are left is one of Gu Hang's secondary goals for this march.

His main goal is definitely to find the main force of the Zerg, especially the Void Queen that was once sent to the Alfonzo Sect, nurtured, and then released.

Only by getting rid of the Queen can the harm be ended.

Of course, this cannot prevent the complete destruction of the Queen Star Region.

This is already an established fact.

Judging from the dozens of worlds that Gu Hang has passed, there may be living, uninfected humans on the planet, lingering. But the number is extremely small, probably less than one percent of the total population.

The entire Queen Star Region is probably like this.

Even if Gu Hang finally wins the war and eliminates the Queen, these planets will eventually be eaten up by the Zerg. However, without the queen, a large number of "hub organisms" will lose command or even die directly; without the queen's biotin stimulation, the hatching pool will stop evolving and will only operate mechanically according to the current mechanism until all biomass is consumed and then collapses.

By then, the remaining post-processing work will still be heavy, but it is only post-processing work after all.

The war has been won.

However, this main goal is not easy to achieve.

Therefore, there is a secondary goal of finding the possible remaining northern legion, in order to strengthen their own strength.

And another secondary goal is also for this purpose: to attract the attention of the void swarm in the Queen Star Region as much as possible, and create conditions for the counterattack on the west front.

The general trend is linked in this way.

With Gu Hang going straight into the hinterland of the Queen Star Region, although there has not been a particularly large-scale war yet, a large number of Zerg forces will be attracted, and a big fight is a matter of time. Otherwise, the planets that have not been "eaten" will be "burned" one by one by the alliance, which is also a blood loss for the void Zerg.

This ensures that there will be no more Zerg swarms of one order of magnitude on the western battlefield, pouring out from the Queen Star Region and attacking the defense line arranged by Salilius.

It is precisely because of Gu Hang's containment in the enemy's core area that Martins and Salilius can finally retain only the relatively small defensive forces in the east, gather heavy troops, and counterattack to the west.

On the one hand, it is necessary to completely defeat and eliminate the main force of the infected Iron Armored Corps and open up the logistics supply channel of the Western Front Corps. On the other hand, it is also possible to liberate the combat effectiveness of the Western Front Corps while completely solving the worries, so that they can enter the Queen Star Region relatively smoothly from the west, cooperate with Gu Hang's actions, and find the core force of the Zerg together to eliminate the Queen.

The Queen is not a unit that stays in one place obediently and has no ability to fight back. After being threatened, the largest number of Zerg forces will gather around it.

A decisive battle is inevitable.

At that time, the stronger the strength of one's own side, the better.

Martins and Salisius fully understand Gu Hang's idea.

They are also determined to launch a counterattack against the Iron Armored Corps in the west.

After several months of war, the results are not small.

The number of Iron Armored Corps is indeed huge, even if they are still based on their scale of 10,000 people. However, the troops in the hands of Martins and Salisius are definitely not small.

The main force brought by Martins from the Nepeta Star Domain alone already has more than 3,000 Space Marines. Salilius himself originally had more than 4,000 people. In addition to his own Ortopis Regiment, there are another 3,000 Space Marine Regiments from all parties when the expeditionary force was formed in the Sun Star Domain, as well as reinforcements received one after another during the war.

Adding up to 7,000 Space Marines, it is not much less than the Iron Armor.

Even if 1,500 were left to block the Zerg swarms pouring out from the Princess Star Domain in the east, they still have at least 5,000 Space Marines.

Moreover, in terms of eliteness, they must be better than the Iron Armor.

Martins has confidence in his own regiment; Blood Shark is also a powerful regiment; only the Dragon King's Spear is quite ordinary.

On the other hand, the Ortopis Regiment is the sweetheart of the high lords, and its eliteness is also extremely exaggerated. It is definitely the first line of all regiments.

Quality is enough to make up for the gap in quantity.

And the Wanzhou Star Battle is the most important battle in this great counterattack.
