Pursue!!

Angry, murderous Rencie, can't care too much about it.

Only by fighting bloody battles to the end, only by annihilating the stubborn enemy, and making great military exploits, can the merits be atoned, and even the officials can be promoted.

Therefore, Luncy completely ignored the damage caused by the surprise attack, and he only had one thought, that is, to catch up and kill him without leaving a piece of armor.

However......

In this vast starry sky, how can it be so easy to chase?

When Qin Tian led the fleet to raid, the speed was already very fast, it was to calculate the attack channel, the angle of entry, the time of the attack window and the speed of disengagement, etc., and catch up with the remnants of the Sixth Fleet in Lunxi at high speed, and launch a surprise attack in just one or two seconds, and then the course remained the same, the speed increased sharply, and he got rid of it directly at high speed.

Such a surprise attack, for Rency, was like running on the road in a good manner, and as a result, the enemy rode a racing motorcycle, and at the same time swept past him at great speed, and gave him a blow to the head.

This stick, of course, was a terrible blow to Luncy, and the injury was so great that he was furious, and at the same time, he pulled out his feet and wanted to chase after the enemy, but how could he catch up?

The current situation is so humiliating and infuriating, but there is nothing to be done.

The remnants of the Sixth Fleet of the Garan Empire, which had been raided by the tragedy, recklessly accelerated the pursuit, but it also took time for them to accelerate, and Qin Tian's 10 battleships were already very fast, and if they increased their speed further, it would naturally be faster.

This kind of pursuit, of course, is the longer the pursuit, the greater the distance, and Qin Tian is a 'home battle', he is very familiar with this star field, and he is separated from it at high speed for less than two seconds, and he directly jumps in space 'teleportation'.

Tragic!

What a tragedy!

Seeing the dazzling light shining in the starry sky, Luncy's heart sank to the bottom, and he knew that he could not catch up at all.

The other party has already escaped from the space jump, because he doesn't know where to jump, and he doesn't know the starry sky coordinates of the opponent's target point, so how can he chase it?

It's a good hit, and you won't stay!

Luncy's heart is eight to pull out the cold.

The enemy is not as weak as he imagined, the opponent's weapons and equipment are not weaker than their Garan Empire, and the tactics are extremely pragmatic and very simple, the space minefield will first surprise a wave, and then a high-speed covert attack and then a surprise attack.

This 'double kill' big move is released, and the remnants of Luncy's Sixth Fleet are really only left with 'residual blood'.

Now what?

Are you still chasing it?

But I don't know where the enemy fleet has fled, so how can I chase it?

Luncy's feet went limp, and he barely collapsed on the floor.

With his hands trembling a little, holding on to the command platform, Luncy slowly sat down, his heart was at a loss, his mind was chaotic, and his thoughts were extremely confused.

The battle situation was far worse than expected, and the enemy's strength was far stronger than expected.

What bullshit low-level civilization, this is simply a strength that can compete with the Garan Empire, any starfleet!

In that case, why is the fleet that landed on the planet Daktros and suffered heavy losses and fled in a hurry so weak in terms of technical strength? And propelled with extremely backward plasma, is this not a decoy?

Perhaps, what I encountered just now was the elite fleet and the strongest combat force of the Marauder Civilization Force?

Just when Luncy couldn't figure it out, the latest battle damage report came out.

The losses were already terrible after breaking into a space minefield before, losing one heavy ship, seriously injuring four attack cruisers, and several battleships.

And this time it was covertly assaulted by the other side, and the losses were even worse.

The four attack cruisers that had been seriously injured before had been completely wiped out in the opponent's critical attack, and two heavy ships and three attack cruisers were almost scrapped.

The high-speed combat integrated supply ships with low defensive capability and not very strong combat effectiveness have also run out of 'good luck' for the two of them, and they seem to have been taken care of in this round of attacks, and both of them were attacked by nuclear bombs and blown up in half.

The most distressing thing is that the Barile and the Yiyun, which are the pillars of combat power, are also in extremely bad condition, with more than half of their combat effectiveness lost, and their power systems are seriously damaged, so that the protective shield cannot be opened, and the two star-destroyers, which are several kilometers long, are full of huge pits and holes, and the fire inside the ships is blazing, and a large number of warship fragments are floating around.

With 21 starships, he set out on a vigorous expedition, full of pride and ambition, looking forward to a super victory, but what was the result?

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Of the 21 interstellar warships, 3 heavy ships, 7 attack cruisers, and 2 high-speed combat integrated supply ships have been lost, and the number of ships has been lost by more than half.

What's worse is that among the only 9 remaining battleships, two Star Destroyers have almost no combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness and protection of the two heavy ships have also been greatly reduced, and there are still five attack cruisers left, and two of them miraculously did not lose much ......

However, with this little strength, it is simply not enough to fight.

Not to mention attack, even defense is a problem.

Among the only 9 remaining warships, except for the two attack cruisers with almost only minor injuries, the attack and defense of the other seven warships have been greatly reduced, and they can't even afford to open their protective shields, let alone space folding and stealth, and it is even more extravagant to escape by means of space jumping.

Moreover, the two Star Destroyers are still being destroyed and damaged, and the efficiency of damage management operations is lower than expected, so that these two Star Destroyers are likely to explode and be scrapped because they cannot be rescued.

Interstellar warfare is highly efficient!

Luncy looked at the report, his eyes were sour, and he felt the urge to cry.

How long has it been since entering the space minefield and now suffering heavy losses?

Two minutes!

In this mere 120 seconds, there are only 9 of the 21 intact interstellar warships left, and with the current status of the two Star Destroyers of the Barles and the Yiyun, they are not far from being scrapped, so it is very likely that there are only 7 warships left.

The cheapest attack cruiser, the purchase price of the Jialan Empire's interstellar combat force is 32.8 billion yuan, and the purchase price of the most expensive star destroyer is as high as 248.2 billion yuan, which is still not counting the various equipment and materials on board, not to mention the staffing.

In this battle, the loss of ships and personnel was within 120 seconds.

This is not counting the loss of so many crew members who died and disappeared in battle, their future pensions, funeral expenses, and so on.

With such a heavy loss, how can it not make Renci feel distressed?

In two minutes, trillions of dollars will be gone.

Luncy's gamble was really a big loss.

And now, what to do?

In what should have been a noisy command bridge, a pair of eyes were staring at Luncy, and everyone pinned their hopes on Luncy.

It is impossible to continue fighting.

They can't make a spatial jump, let alone track and kill the enemy, and even escape is enough.

Although Luncy was sad in his heart, he had already been beaten and had no fighting spirit, but he also knew that at this moment, he should not be too ambitious, the enemy had carefully built an ambush circle, and was well prepared to wait for them.

"Give me an order! Immediately stop blindly pursuing the enemy fleet, immediately strengthen the defense, launch self-rescue, summon reconnaissance aircraft to go out, and try to search and rescue the missing personnel of the war-destroyed ships!"

"At the same time, immediately summarize the combat information and immediately report it to the War Department of the Interstellar Combat Force at the highest level!"

……

Luncy issued a succession of orders.

After saying that, Luncy was like a deflated ball, slumped in his chair, he had done his best, there was no better way than this!

Interstellar warfare, high-paced and high-intensity.

Victory and defeat, maybe just a few seconds,

Now that the result is already doomed, Luncy has no complaints, let alone blames anyone.

If you want to blame, blame the enemy for being too insidious and fierce, they may have known that there would be this battle, so they were fully prepared, and if they were replaced by Lunsi to command this space defense ambush battle, they would also get such a victory.

After resting for a while, Rency got up from his seat and left the command bridge tremblingly.

"Chief of Staff, the Bariel Star Destroyer can't hold out for too long, let's start moving immediately! The attack cruiser Handa is in the best condition, we can take the escape shuttle and rush over immediately!"

The captain of the Barles, hurrying after Rency, spoke very quickly and excitedly.

Luncy waved his hand, "If you want to withdraw, you must start withdrawing from the lowest-level crew, this is an imperial tradition, I'm fine!"

"This ......"

Luncy smiled faintly, hunched his back and walked away.

Looking at Luncy's back, the captain felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart, at this moment, the chief of staff of the fleet, who had always been energetic and confident, seemed to have suddenly aged dozens of years.

Perhaps, once a person loses his fighting spirit, this is the case!

Luncy walked slowly and slowly all the way, walking very steadily and steadily.

The Barlean Star Destroyer, which lies in the starry sky, is full of exploding fire, huge craters and holes, and many cabins are blazing with thick smoke billowing out of the hull.

Walking in the battleship, from time to time there would be a violent shaking like an earthquake, and even the lights in the corridor flickered on and off, and Luncy almost fell down several times.

The ship was very chaotic, the sound of explosions, alarms, shouts, etc. was endless, and the hurried crew was running around and was busy evacuating, but Luncy was not in a hurry, he slowly paced back to the commander's lounge.

Sitting down with some detachment, Luncy opened the drawer and found a cigar, cut his head and took a beautiful puff, but the smoke choked, he had not smoked a cigar for a long time, coughed again and again, and even tears and snot came out.

Extinguishing the cigar hard, Luncy just wanted to wipe his nose with a toilet paper, but the Barlean Star Destroyer shook violently again, and I don't know where another explosion occurred, and everything on the table shook and fell to the floor, and Luncy almost fell to the ground without sitting still.

Time is running out!

Not much!

Luncy is not a rookie egg, he has served in the interstellar combat unit for many years, and knows too well what it means for such a jolt to happen to an interstellar battleship.

Therefore, he gripped the armrest of the seat tightly with his left hand, and with his right hand, he went to activate the extradimensional communicator with lightning speed.

A faint light slowly appeared on the table, gradually unfolding to form a three-dimensional virtual screen.

"Wiring Big Brother!" Luncy commanded with a voice.

The intelligent communication system immediately responded, trying to connect with Yaze, who was far away from the headquarters of the Interstellar Combat Force.

However, after waiting for two seconds, Luncy glanced at the atomic clock, and immediately shook his head and ordered: "Forget it!

After a slight pause, Luncy covered his face with his hands, his mind was blank, and thousands of words gathered in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

Looking at the recording progress bar, ten seconds had passed, and Luncy took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"Okay, big brother, I have to admit that I have failed your high expectations, the interstellar battle I have been longing for, when it really happens, it is not as simple as I imagined, maybe it is because I have too little actual combat experience, or maybe the entire fleet is like this, everyone is particularly flustered and panicked!"

"You know what? When we stumbled into a space minefield, we actually ...... In fact, we have a great chance that we can completely avoid huge losses, such as we immediately switch to a state of emergency protection, emergency avoidance, and so on, but what about us? We have nothing, and many commanders and crew members who perform very well in training and exercises in ordinary times are all stunned like fools at this moment, and everyone seems to have their IQ dropped to zero in an instant, and they are at a loss!

"Immediately after, we were attacked by the opposing Starfleet. Here I have to admire the opposing commander, his tactics are really pragmatic and simple, and their attack means and efficiency are almost perfect, high-speed raids, one blow detachment, we lost extremely heavy losses in just two or three seconds. ”

"At this moment, I can't help but wonder, what is the difference between my Sixth Fleet and the enemy? Where is this defeat just because the other side is well prepared and trained, and we are defenseless? Or is it because our ships are not as good as theirs? No, I don't think so!"

"Our fleet is negligent in training, our exercises are mere formalities, and our interstellar combat units have always been very detached from reality and from actual combat, to put it mildly, we are very flashy, we only pursue superficial strength, and pursue the gains and losses of personal and group interests, but we forget that interstellar warships and interstellar combat units are all born for war, not for official positions and titles!"

At this, Luncy's eyes reddened.

He covered his mouth, tears rolling in his eyes, he was so unwilling.

What does first-class equipment, second-rate talent, third-rate tactics, and fourth-rate thinking add up? In addition to failure, will it still be success?

Flashy things are just for the sake of grandstanding and attracting attention, and simple and pragmatic tactics that are close to actual combat can achieve victory.

To win a battle, advanced and powerful combat equipment is of course very important, but 'man will win the day', a fleet that is impetuous in thinking and not down-to-earth, only thinks about how to win and how to increase the rank and rank to the pinnacle of life, but does not think about how to make careful arrangements, weigh the pros and cons, and flexibly display techniques and tactics for different situations......

As the saying goes, eating a trench grows wisdom.

At this moment, although he has only experienced 120 seconds of interstellar wars, for Renci, who was born in a professional class and has extremely solid theoretical knowledge, he has combat experience, he has accepted the actual combat test, many false things in his mind have disappeared, he has become more pure and pragmatic, he knows what is right and what is wrong.

It's a pity that ......

From the chief of staff of the fleet, who can only talk on paper, to the commander who has been tested in battle, the price Rency has paid is too great.

Holding his head slightly high, Rency tried not to let the tears flow.

Defeat is terrible, but what is even more terrifying is that a soldier may only have one chance to fail in his life, and the price is death.

At this moment, how unwilling Luncy is!

"Big brother! I ...... I am unwilling, this battle is lost, I am not unconvinced, I really want to start again, I want to be down-to-earth, train a fleet well, and fight the enemy again, I believe that if I start again, I will definitely not lose!"

As soon as these words came out, Luncy's tears could no longer be held back, and they poured out like a burst of embankment.

Holding his head high, Renxi gritted his teeth and said: "There is a problem with the atmosphere of the interstellar combat force, and there is even more problem with the thinking of all of us, we are an elite combat force that defends the interests of the empire, and we should be born for war, not for the sake of fighting for power and profit! Big brother, listen to my advice, find ways to make some changes!"

"Change the current status quo of our major fleets, change our flashy thinking of fighting for power and profit, change our existing immature, non-pragmatic, and non-actual combat training and exercise system, and it must be fast and fierce, the enemy's strength has exceeded my expectations, if we do not reform and reform with heavy fists, then such a fiasco as our Sixth Fleet will happen again and again!"

"Think about why the 17th Interstellar Mobile Patrol Fleet of Entez came home with a feather in the past! Think about how tragic my current Sixth Fleet is! Our defeat is not once, the alarm bell has sounded twice, and the price paid is greater than the first, we need to learn from the pain and change the past!"

Luncy said this, waving his hand.

"Forget it! I feel that I have asked a little too much of you, you and I are just ants among the hundreds of billions of people in the Garan Empire, people are light-hearted, have no strong background, do not have enough real power, let's not talk about changing anything, just say that after the fiasco of the Sixth Fleet, it doesn't matter if I die on the battlefield, big brother, whether you will be implicated, whether the commander of the Eighth Fleet, Lak, will fall into the ground, these are not certain. ”

Luncy took a deep breath and sighed: "That's it! I won't say anything superfluous, I can't go back anyway, big brother, take care of yourself! Farewell!"

With a wave of his hand, Luncy turned off the recording and sent it out, then fell on the table, crying like a child.

Death!

What a terrible word.

Horse leather shroud, died on the battlefield!

How many of the generals of the Garan Empire have such a sense of honor? Who is willing to give up a good life to die generously?

But there was no hope of escape.

He knew too well that this battle had lost the meaning of resistance, and they could not escape in space, and they were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered on other people's territory, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out.

Therefore, instead of escaping from the Barle, he would rather die in this destroyer than die on the way to attack the cruiser.

However, the situation turned out to be even worse than he had imagined.

Just as he was about to leave a message to his family after crying for a while, the USS Ballea Star Destroyer was completely finished.

Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~

From the stern to the bow, a series of explosions were like firecrackers.

The slender and huge Star Destroyer was as if it had been hit by countless super hammers, the hull of the battleship was cracked and distorted, and the inside of the hull was even more ablaze, so that it lost artificial gravity and all energy supply almost instantly.

Luncy didn't even have a chance to leave a message for his family, but because of the sudden loss of gravity and the strong shaking of the Star Destroyer itself, he was thrown to the ceiling, and he floated and crashed aimlessly.

Finally!

With the crunch of metal breaking, accompanied by the scorching waves of air and manic sonic impact, the expensive Garan Empire Star Destroyer was shattered in the violent explosion, spreading into space junk within tens of thousands of kilometers.

And almost at the same time, the other eight starships, which were not destroyed by their own internal explosions, also burst into brilliant 'metal rain' in the second round of high-speed raids of Qin Tian's starfleet.

The dazzling halo of explosion caused a large area of star fields to shine, and the extradimensional information report carrying the news of the destruction of the Sixth Fleet disappeared into the vast universe and spread to the distant Garan Empire before the halo spread......
