Marco Polo Fortress, this was a military fortress of a superpower in the Zone 2 colony 60 years ago.
Later, the country was at war all year round, which resulted in the treasury being empty, the economy plummeting, and the people's living conditions deteriorating, which eventually led to the country being torn apart by civil strife.
As their symbol back then, Marco Polo Fortress was gradually forgotten by others as this superpower fell apart and perished.
The 6th Army Army-level Fleet of Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Force used Marco Polo Fortress as their important stronghold.
Why does Dion Army know Marco Polo Fortress?
Because when that superpower fell into disintegration and perished, many scientists were recruited by Mars Sphere.
Dion Empire also took in some scientists from Marco Polo Fortress, as well as some members of the design team who participated at that time.
When Dion 3rd Expeditionary Force invaded the Zone 2 colony, he immediately dispatched the 6th Army to occupy the forgotten Marco Polo Fortress.
The internal structure of Marco Polo Fortress is exactly the same as the structure in the design drawings sent by the design team back then.
The 6th Army began to transform the internal structure of Marco Polo Fortress.
In addition to Marco Polo Fortress, there is another important stronghold near the Gas Empire, a large meteorite fortress.
It was also one of the fortresses of the superpower back then, but before it was completely renovated, the superpower had already split and perished.
This fortress has no name. Nameless Fortress was also one of the participants and builders at that time, and they went to the Dion Empire after the country's demise.
Dion 3rd Expeditionary Force The 2nd Army is also occupying Nameless Fortress, but when it was refitted that year, it was only 20% complete.
The Second Army has not undergone much transformation. Apart from expanding some internal buildings, it is to allow the Second Army to obtain basic logistics and maintenance guarantees.
But whether it is Nameless Fortress or Marco Polo Fortress, they are all targeted by Skywing Mercenary Group.
However, in the two fortresses, Skywing Mercenary Group asked United Army to participate in the battle.
Skywing Mercenary Group will each send a Army-level Fleet, and United Army will fight on the scale of a group army.
The United Army that attacked Nameless Fortress was a large army (a total of 6 Army-level Fleet), mainly among the organized troops, Gas Empire sent 3 Army-level Fleet.
Gas Empire will send 3 Army-level Fleets because they received information from Skywing Mercenary Group and learned that Nameless Fortress is about 500 kilometers away from the border with the Gas Empire.
This made Gas Empire feel like he could not allow others to snore on the side of the bed. Therefore, Gas Empire seemed to be actively participating in the attack on Nameless Fortress, but in fact, he was also afraid in his heart.
Army-level Fleet, which attacks Marco Polo Fortress's Skywing Mercenary Group, comes from the 1st Army of the 1st Group Army of the Skywing Mercenary Group mother base.
Major General Aixisi commanded the 1st Army of the 1st Group Army of the mother base and also attacked the 1st Army. In addition to the 1st Army, Shadow Mad Dog Squad, Ferocious Hound Squad, Bloodthirsty Wolf Strike Group and Sword Shield Unit also participated.
Salamander serves as the supreme commander of this battle.
The isolation tactic earlier was also a tactic planned by Salamander.
Taurus 2 In the bow of the ship, Captain Regina sits on the left, Major General Aixisi, and Lieutenant Colonel Salamander sits on the right.
Colonel Regina felt extremely stressed. She was transferred as Captain Taurus 2 last month, and the identities of the two people beside her were not simple.
Major General Aixisi is a famous general in Skywing Mercenary Group. Although not as famous as Lieutenant General Shlaik, he is also a famous general who has made countless military achievements in Skywing Mercenary Group.
Although Lieutenant Colonel Salamander is not as high in rank as her, he planned and commanded countless battles against Dion 3rd Expeditionary Force. As long as he defeated Marco Polo Fortress and Nameless Fortress on the other side, Salamander would immediately be promoted to two levels in a row.
More importantly, Salamander is the most popular person next to their boss Long Fei.
Many people in the mercenary group want to curry favor with Salamander himself.
Major General Aixisi asked Salamander: "Lieutenant Colonel, won't you personally pilot your Gundam to fight today?"
"No, if I stay here, I can get first-class credit as soon as possible and be able to command the troops in combat."
A report came from the staff, "United Army group army fleet launched a beam attack from all ships, Marco Polo Fortress launched the Anti-Beam Missile group."
"Anti-Beam Particle spread very strongly, United Army and the whole ship still launched Beam Cannon. Anti-Beam Particle began to gradually dissipate under the attack of Beam Cannon, and United Army launched guided missiles from the whole ship."
Salamander ordered, "All warships launch Mobile Drill Missile group and Minov Particle missile group, and mix the missiles into the missile group launched by the United Army."
Aixisi saw Salamander's tactics and tried to destroy Marco Polo Fortress's defense system. Minov Particle affected or paralyzed Marco Polo Fortress's defense devices, communication equipment, etc., thereby affecting Marco Polo Fortress's combat capabilities.
Aixisi then asked Salamander a question that was not on the battlefield at this moment, "Lieutenant Colonel, is there a detail among the Dion 3rd Expeditionary Force prisoners?"
"What details?"
"More and more pilots of the Holy Machine captured recently are teenagers. When you and your old comrades escaped from Mars Sphere, were all the soldiers in the Dion Army about the age of teenagers?"
"When I was still in Mars Sphere, the average age of soldiers in the Dion Army was roughly 20 years old. Now I also found from the report that the average age is around 17 years old."
"So Lieutenant Colonel, do you think Dion Army will soon be out of troops?"
"It is possible that the population of Mars Sphere was only about 500 million when I left. Even if their newborn babies are born desperately in the past few years, they cannot make up for the lack of soldiers in a short time."
"Lieutenant Colonel, by the way, half of those prisoners are women."
Salamander glanced at Aixisi, nodded and said, "Mars Sphere's male to female ratio is about 200 million for men, and about 300 million for women."
"So, Dion Empire allows men to marry more than one wife, and Lower Citizen can also marry two wives as long as financial conditions permit."
Salamander said half-jokingly, "Dion Empire If we don't start a war, this is a country that many men dream of, and they wish they could have more wives there."
"Tch." Aixisi rolled his eyes.
Another report came from the staff, "Our Mobile Drill Missile has destroyed nearly 30% of Marco Polo's defense devices. Minov Particle has almost spread around the entire Marco Polo Fortress."
"Open our Superconducting Communication network, and then bring all United Army closer to our communication network."
"United Army Stop launching guided missiles."
The relationship between Minov Particle and United Army's guided missiles will also turn into headless flies and be unable to control them in the area of Minov Particle.
"United Army launches a general missile group for bombing."
Salamander ordered to stop launching Mobile Drill Missile and Minov Particle missiles.
Generally, missiles are traditional missiles that hit wherever they point. The missile group flies towards the target fortress like a barrage.
