Chapter 1552 When Will the Invasion Begin? (Second Update)
The defense of Kochi is not ordinary strict. There are 25 space fortresses of various sizes.
These 25 fortresses are strong and weak. The five core fortresses are the kind that can withstand the attack of division-level ships.
Kochi is not a fortress-level habitable planet, otherwise it can build stronger fortresses.
However, it is basically impossible to take down these 25 fortresses without seven or eight divisions.
In fact, the sky of Kochi, the space fortress is only one part of the firepower.
In addition, there are space-based weapons running in satellite orbits, powerful ground fortresses, and corresponding starship teams.
These many factors work together to create a powerful sky system. If any one of them is missing, it will not be perfect.
However, some people still have doubts, "Space fortresses...will not be digitally invaded?"
The essence of space fortresses is a more powerful starship with stronger defense, but it sacrifices the flexibility of movement.
There are gains and losses. After becoming a near-earth base of a habitable planet, the fortress is responsible for guarding the house and does not need to wander in space.
However, even so, the fortress needs a powerful control system, otherwise it cannot exert its own power.
Then the question is, is the space fortress afraid of artificial intelligence?
However, others have already considered this issue, "The space fortress is prepared for the end of the planet, and the chip performance is not strong."
Military products focus on being strong and durable. The space fortress is originally tough and prepared for the worst environment.
"Even if it encounters extreme cosmic rays and the chip is completely destroyed, most of the weapons of the fortress can be operated manually!"
So don't worry about the defects of the space fortress, its strength is also incomparable.
Unfortunately, the warships of the evil empire obviously also took into account the existence of the space fortress.
"They are only outside the range of the artillery of the space fortress!" Someone gritted his teeth and spoke.
However, some people did not care and just said lightly, "This is common sense. Who would ignore the space fortress in space war?"
"Since they are afraid, we can use the deterrence of the space fortress to stabilize our position."
"Can't we retreat and lure them into going deeper?"
"Such a superficial plan, how stupid must the opponent be to be fooled?"
In any case, the alliance's battle line was maintained at 5 million kilometers.
The other fleets of the alliance took off from other directions, trying to flank the opponent.
However, not long after, bad news came that there were a large number of fleet guards on the flanks of the invaders.
What's worse is that the alliance military is not sure how powerful the fleet that came to harass the opponent is.
What they have found now is not just the vanguard?
If it is too powerful, the Kochi Military District must seriously consider the response plan.
At the beginning, the alliance did not think that the imperial fleet would attack in large numbers.
Because a large-scale attack on Kochi Star is a very bad option from a strategic point of view.
Although they are playing passively now, if they are determined to push to the ground and defend, the difficulty of attack is not ordinary.
So it is more reasonable for Digital Phantom to lead a small-scale sneak attack, and leave after achieving a certain combat goal.
As for what the small-scale sneak attack is for, it is hard to say, maybe it is to create panic, or maybe it is to squeeze the space of the alliance.
But now, the harassment team that can be observed has exceeded a division-level formation, which does not match the scale of the harassment.
So the alliance military can't help but wonder if their judgment is wrong?
Considering that the other party has the help of Digital Phantom, maybe they hope to... take down Kochi Star at a lower cost?
This speculation is really absurd, but when it comes to Digital Phantom, anything can happen.
So far, the alliance military is not sure what unknown capabilities Digital Phantom has.
This fear of the unknown, to be honest, is a very annoying mentality and even more troublesome.
Just like not long ago, Digital Phantom led the team to clear the blockade area, and the fleet responsible for the blockade had no way to deal with them.
The alliance has designed many targeted response plans for the combat characteristics of Digital Phantom.
However, these plans are not very mature - they have a certain effect, but they cannot completely solve the problem.
Anyway, the main force in the middle must hold on, and the fleet on the flank cannot be ignored.
Just as the alliance warships were taking off, a series of violent attacks suddenly appeared on the Kochi star.
"So, it really came?" The military commander sneered.
The serial violent attacks that occurred in Tianyu are no secret in the alliance military.
They thought of the possibility that the other party would repeat the old tricks, but sorry, Kochi is not Tianyu.
At this moment, the planet has entered a state of martial law, which is implemented quickly and thoroughly. There is no need to think about creating chaos.
He is not afraid of the other party's moves, but he is afraid that there will be no movement. That is the most tormenting, "Leave it to the ground!"
However, the violent attacks just started, and the imperial fleet, which was in a tangle, suddenly had hundreds of warships.
Most of these warships are small ships, but there are also company-level and battalion-level ships, and even two regiment-level ships.
Moreover, most of these warships were of the Imperial type, and they rushed over like crazy.
"Is that all?" The commander of the alliance smiled coldly again. This little pressure was not enough for him.
But the next moment, he saw the Digital Phantom's painted mark on a regimental-level ship.
"Retreat," the commander said decisively, "Want to meet? Haha, we don't need to take risks."
So far, everything is still under control. As long as he commands the fleet to retreat to a place where the space fortress can protect it, it will be fine.
The current focus must be to suppress the possible riots on the planet.
In the battle in space, it doesn't matter if you retreat temporarily. No matter how great the pressure is, close-to-ground defense always has an absolute advantage.
However, at this moment, new news came that two division-level ships suddenly appeared in the imperial fleet that invaded the planet on both wings!
The terrible thing is that these two division-level ships have the Digital Phantom's painted mark on their hulls!
This news shocked the commander of the alliance: Digital Phantom actually has two division-level ships... and they all came?
The problem instantly became serious: What exactly is the imperial fleet going to do here?
If it is a strong attack, two division-level ships are really not a big problem, but the Digital Phantom's painted mark...is not a good thing!
This team is just a civilian force, and having two division-level ships is already very unusual. Only the Empire would have such a strange phenomenon.
So, why do they bet so much on Kochi?
The commander subconsciously wanted to recruit more warships to participate in the war. Now his side is in space, and there is no shortage of fleets!
But in the end, he decided to remain unchanged in the face of change. The most taboo on the battlefield is to give orders at random.
No matter what happens, there is no big problem with the current arrangement. In order to test the opponent's purpose, it doesn't matter if some officers and soldiers are sacrificed.
It sounds a bit cruel, but this is war.
Anyway, with the support of space fortresses and ground artillery, no matter how bad the space war is, it won't be that bad.
He thought so, but the soldiers of the alliance heard that two division-level ships of the digital phantom appeared, and they couldn't help but panic.
Compared with Kochi's defense, two division-level ships are really not good enough, but... this is the digital phantom.
The soldiers are still faithfully executing orders, but it's normal to mutter a few words in private.
What's worse is that, in addition to the soldiers in space, officers and soldiers on the ground all knew the news.
Even some ordinary people, curious about the war in space, turned on the space observation device and discovered this situation.
Within a few minutes, most people's attention was highly focused on space.
To say that this is not a big deal, the worst thing is to pay more attention - under the state of martial law, it can't cause much trouble.
But in fact, more and more attention has made many people ignore the situation on the planet.
- They can also think that there may be trouble on the planet, but they can't help but pay attention to the space war.
After a few minutes, the Imperial Fleet attacked more and more fiercely, and seemed to be anxious.
However, immediately afterwards, continuous fire and fire appeared in space.
"Oops!" The commander's face turned pale in an instant, "It's the power and fire control system of the space fortress!"
Although the space fortress moves slowly, it can also move. If the acceleration time is long enough, the final speed will not be too slow.
So the fortress has a power system and a relatively independent fire control system.
However, the pitfall is that both systems can self-destruct, and this is the original design intention, which has nothing to do with the Digital Phantom.
The power system self-destructs to prevent the enemy from seizing the space fortress, and to prevent someone from using the fortress to hit the habitable planet where it is located.
The impact of the fortress on the planet is more catastrophic than that of a warship, and the defensive weapon cannot become a hidden danger to the security of the planet.
The fire control system self-destructs to prevent someone from seizing the fortress and doing some heinous things.
These things have happened before, and powerful weapons must have control over the right to use.
But suddenly, all these self-destruct devices were activated, which really caught the Alliance military off guard.
After the Alliance knew that the Digital Phantom was coming, it asked the space fortress to install a manual self-destruct device.
But remote control self-destruction... is also an option, so it was not banned.
Anyway, the space fortress is mainly tough and reliable, and even if the firepower system self-destructs, it can be manually operated with a little repair.
It's just that the efficiency of manual operation is a bit touching!
After discovering this change, the commander of the alliance said without a word, "Keep retreating!"
The space fortress is already a little unreliable. The speed of aiming and firing is too slow, and the combat power has been reduced by 90%.
So it is better to retreat further. The space-based weapons and ground weapons in orbit can still be used.
But at this moment, he was really curious: Is this kind of harassment useful?
But then, his expression changed again, "When did they invade the space fortress?"
