Chapter 498: Marco Polo Fortress and Unnamed Fortress

Marco Polo Fortress, which was a military fortress of a superpower in the colony of District 2 60 years ago.

Later, the country fought all the year round, which led to an empty treasury, a sharp drop in the economy, and the deteriorating living conditions of the people, which eventually caused the country to be torn apart by civil strife.

As a symbol of their past, the Marco Polo Fortress was gradually forgotten by others after the superpower was torn apart and perished.

The 6th Army Fleet of Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Army used the Marco Polo Fortress as their important stronghold.

Why did the Dion Army know about the Marco Polo Fortress?

Because when that superpower was falling apart and dying, many scientists were recruited by the Martian circle.

The Dion Empire also took in some scientists from the Marco Polo Fortress, as well as some members of the design team involved at the time.

When Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Army invaded the colony in District 2, it immediately dispatched the 6th Army to occupy the forgotten Marco Polo Fortress.

The internal structure of the Marco Polo Fortress is exactly the same as that in the design drawings sent by the design teams back then.

The Sixth Army began to transform the internal structure of the Marco Polo Fortress.

In addition to the Marco Polo Fortress, there is another important stronghold close to a large meteorite fortress of the Garth Empire.

It was also one of the fortresses of the superpower back then, but before it was fully refitted, the superpower had already split and perished.

This fortress has no name, and the unnamed fortress was also one of the participants and builders of those years, who ran to the Dion Empire after the country's demise.

The 2nd Army of Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Army is also occupying the Unnamed Fortress, but when it was refitted that year, it was only 20% complete.

The Second Army did not carry out much transformation, except for the expansion of some internal constructions, so that the Second Army can obtain basic logistical maintenance guarantees.

But no matter whether it is the Unnamed Fortress or the Marco Polo Fortress, they are all the key targets of the Tianyi Mercenary Group.

However, in the two fortresses, the Tianyi mercenary group let the coalition army participate in the battle.

The Tianyi mercenary regiment will each send an army-level fleet, and the coalition army will fight on the scale of a group army.

The coalition army that attacked the unnamed fortress was the size of a large group army (a total of 6 army-level fleets), mainly composed of troops, and the Garth Empire sent 3 army-level fleets.

The Garth Empire will send 3 military-class fleets because they have received information from the Tianyi Mercenary Group and learned that the Unnamed Fortress is about 500 kilometers away from the border of the Garth Empire.

This made the Garth Empire feel as if others were not allowed to snore on the side of the couch. Therefore, the Garth Empire seemed to be actively participating in the attack on the unnamed fortress, but in fact it was also fearful.

The military-level fleet of the Tianyi Mercenary Group that attacked the Marco Polo Fortress came from the 1st Army under the 1st Large Group Army of the Tianyi Mercenary Group's mother base.

Major General Isis commanded the Mother Base's 1st Army and 1st Army, which was also the 1st Army to crusade. In addition to the 1st Army, the Shadow Mad Dog Team, Dire Hound Team, Bloodthirsty Wolf Squad and Sword and Shield Troops all participated.

Salamanda served as the supreme commander of this operation.

The earlier separation tactic was also a tactic planned by Salamanda.

Inside the bow of Torres 2, the captain Colonel Regina sat on the left and Major General Isis sat on the right and Lieutenant Colonel Salamanda sat on the right.

Colonel Regina felt extremely stressed, but she was transferred to be the captain of No. 2 Torres last month, and the identities of the two people beside her were not simple.

Major General Ai Sisi is a well-known general of the Tianyi Mercenary Corps. Although not as famous as Lieutenant General Shrek, she is also a famous general who has made countless military achievements in the Tianyi Mercenary Corps.

Although Lieutenant Colonel Salamanda's military rank is not as good as hers, he planned and directed countless battles against Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Force. As long as the Marco Polo Fortress and the unnamed fortress on the other side are captured, Salamanda will immediately be promoted to two ranks.

More importantly, Salamanda is the number one celebrity next to their boss, Long Fei.

Many people in the Mercenary Corps wanted to curry favor with Salamander himself.

Major General Isis asked Salamanda, "Lieutenant Colonel, don't you want to drive your Gundam to battle today?"

"No, stay here, I can get the first credit immediately, and I can command the troops to fight."

The staff sent a report: "The entire fleet of the United Army Group Army launched a beam attack, and the Marco Polo Fortress launched a group of anti-beam missiles."

"The anti-beam particles spread very strongly. The entire ship of the United Army still fired beam cannons. The anti-beam particles began to gradually dissipate under the impact of the beam cannon. The entire ship of the United Army launched guided missiles."

Salamanda ordered: "The whole warship launches the mobile drill missile group and the Minov particle missile group, and mixes the missiles with the missile group launched by the joint army."

Isis saw Salamanda's tactics and tried to destroy the defense system of the Marco Polo Fortress as much as possible. The Minov particles affected or paralyzed the defense devices and communication equipment of the Marco Polo Fortress, thus affecting the combat capability of the Marco Polo Fortress.

At this time, Ai Sisi asked Salamanda a question that was not on the battlefield at the moment: "Lieutenant Colonel, is there a detail among the prisoners of Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Force?"

"What details?"

"The pilots captured recently are more and more holy machine pilots are teenagers. When you and your old comrades escaped from the Martian circle, the soldiers of the Dion Army were all teenagers?"

"When I was still in the Martian circle, the average age of the Dion Army soldiers was around 20 years old. Now I also found out from the report that the average age is around 17 years old."

"Then, Lieutenant Colonel, do you think Dion's army will soon run out of soldiers?"

"It's possible that the population of the Martian sphere was only about 500 million when I left. Even if their newborn babies are born desperately in the past few years, it will not be able to make up for their lack of soldiers in a short time."

"Lieutenant Colonel, by the way, half of those captives were women."

Salamanda glanced at Ai Sisi and nodded, "The ratio of men to women in the Martian circle is about 200 million men, and about 300 million women."

"Therefore, the Dion Empire allows men to marry more wives, and the lower classes can also marry two wives as long as their economic conditions permit."

Salamanda half-jokingly said: "If the Kingdom of Dion does not start a war, it will be a country that many men dream of, and they can't wait to marry more wives there."

"Cut." Ai Sisi rolled her eyes.

The staff sent another report: "Our mobile drill missiles destroyed nearly 30% of Marco Polo's defense devices, and the Minov particles are almost spreading around the entire Marco Polo Fortress."

"Turn on our superconducting communication network, and then bring the entire coalition army closer to our communication network."

"The coalition forces stopped firing guided missiles."

The relationship between Minov particles, the guided missiles of the United Army will also turn into headless chickens in the area of ​​​​Minov particles and run around uncontrollably.

"The coalition launched a group of ordinary missiles for bombing."

Salamanda ordered the suspension of mobile drill missiles and Minov particle missiles.

Generally, missiles belong to the traditional point-and-shoot missiles, and the missile group flies towards the target fortress like a barrage.
