Chapter 46: For the Dead
The 10th Fleet of the Space Force sank five enemy ships and dozens of mobile suits in just about 10 minutes from sortie to clearance. On the other hand, www.biquge.info their own losses, their own side was sunk by 3 battleships, and the mobile suit even paid more casualties than the UAC when it broke through, all because the battleship and the airframe itself were already injured and could not withstand the high-intensity blows. If you replace the intact battleships and mobile suits, the losses should be much smaller.
Even so, the remaining battleships did not have any time to rest, and directly turned around and sailed towards the clockwise airport battlefield on the verge of collapse.
In previous battles, the actions of the Space Force's 10th Fleet also triggered a chain reaction of another UAC fleet. The fleet had to make a big circle to rescue the friendly forces, avoiding the effective range of the electromagnetic railguns at the E4 base, and it was definitely too late in time, so it simply launched a strong attack on the clockwise airport, intending to take it in one fell swoop while the E4 base was weakly defended.
In a short period of time, nearly 10 new Asian warships guarding the clockwise airport have been sunk and have been compressed to the vicinity of the airport.
Fortunately, the UAC fleet on the counterclockwise side of the airport collapsed too quickly, allowing the 10th Space Force Fleet to return in time.
At the same time, Fengyu also received a communication from the flagship, and the fleet commander invited him to return to the E4 base with him.
At this time, the E4 base is still a dead place, the 10th Fleet of the Space Force has suffered heavy losses before, plus this round of fierce battles, the two sides of the battlefield have lost more than ten warships combined, and the fleet size is only less than half of the usual time, and it is still at an absolute disadvantage in the face of a complete UAC fleet.
At this time, it is not a good choice for Fengyu to go to the E4 base to assist in the defense, and he should continue to operate on the periphery, looking for opportunities to attack the other UAC fleet. But he nevertheless agreed to the invitation of the commander of the fleet.
Not for anything else, just for the bravery of the new Asian soldiers who dared to face death shown by the friendly soldiers in the previous battles, which reminded him of the past scenes - the Battle of Taiya WH, the DT3 Guard Battle, and the W2 ambush, and the former comrades-in-arms died bravely in the same difficult battle situation one by one.
For the sake of these deceased comrades, he decided to fight side by side with the 10th Fleet, face the UAC Fleet, and never back down!
Following the fleet to the E4 base, Fengyu learned the bad news that one of the ace pilots of the 10th fleet had just been killed in the battle at the clockwise airport. At that time, the battle situation at Clockwise Airport was on the verge of collapse, and the ace pilot chose to die. He piloted the exclusive custom aircraft alone, carried a ship chopping knife, used up all the pulse excitation times of the mobile suit in one go, and rushed directly to the side of the opponent's flagship.
It was because of his bravery that the rhythm of the offensive of the UAC fleet was curbed. In order to avoid being beheaded, the enemy flagship had to deploy a large number of forces to snipe the ace pilot, slowing down the offensive on the E4 base.
In the end, the E4 base persevered, and waited for the acceptance of the counterclockwise airport battle situation, and waited for its own fleet to return. But the ace pilot couldn't come back, and without pulse motivation, he was soon killed under the siege of two UAC ace pilots, saving the E4 base with his own life.
After such a tug-of-war, the momentum of both sides was dissipated, and the UAC fleet retreated to a safe distance for temporary rest, and there was a rare temporary truce in the E4 star field. The UAC fleet can rest, but the 10th fleet can't be idle, and all logistics personnel are in action to repair the damaged battleships and mobile suits.
At this time, the E4 base is extremely short of materials, and many materials have been cut off. The logisticians had to take the transport ship to the battlefield in the counterclockwise airport to carry out space operations, dismantling the usable parts of the sunken battleships and transporting them back to the base as spare parts for other warships.
It was dangerous to do this without the escort of the ships, but the 10th Fleet really did not have the spare strength to escort these transports. The damaged warships are rushing to repair, and those that are still intact are cruising outside the airport clockwise, and no one knows when the UAC fleet will launch a new attack, and the New Asian soldiers have no power to relax.
As long as the UAC side sends a few destroyers to attack and harass, it will inflict great casualties on these logistics personnel. But no one flinched, and the logistics staff even took the initiative to sign up for the dangerous material collection team and leave the base for protection.
Feng Yu walked in the E4 base, looking at the tired but resolute faces of the officers and men of the 10th Fleet, watching them come and go in a hurry, grasping every minute and every second to prepare for the next battle.
As the only reinforcement to appear in the E4 star field, Fengyu saved the 10th Fleet's defeat, and the officers and men basically knew about it. Without a large number of fleets, this kind of thing could not be hidden, so the fleet commander simply announced the truth and played the previously recorded battle footage of Mobile Suit WS on a few large screens in the base to encourage the officers and men of the fleet.
When Feng Yu wore a mask and walked all the way from the counterclockwise airport to the base headquarters, the officers and men of the 10th Fleet who still had a little time would stop what they were doing or hurriedly and salute him to express their highest respect.
Yes, even the commander of the fleet, who was a vice admiral, saluted before him as soon as he saw Fengyu. An ace pilot who dared to go into battle alone at the most dangerous moment in the E4 star field deserves such respect.
For all the officers and men of the 10th Fleet, this "Storm" Colonel, who had had negative rumors, has been the most trusted partner of their fleet since then, and he is a comrade-in-arms who can be trusted with confidence. No matter how much the outside smear Fengyu, he will be an eternal friend of the 10th Fleet!
How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.
How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.
How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son.
The friendship between blood and fire, the loyalty entrusted to life, it is difficult to find a stronger friendship in the world.
For the sake of those deceased comrades-in-arms, today they will fight side by side with Fengyu, and use their own artillery fire and blood to verify this friendship.
In order to protect the beautiful starry sky of New Asia behind the E4 star field, and to protect the relatives and friends who have high expectations behind them, they will continue to stay here without retreating.
The determination of the new Asian military is not something that the UAC people can understand!
Even in the most difficult moments of the battle, the 10th Fleet never retreated like the UAC fleet. Because there are already too many comrades-in-arms who have taken the lead and defended this starry sky with their lives, for the sake of these deceased people, there is no reason for those who are still alive to retreat, otherwise how can they have the face to stand side by side with those who have passed away in this starry sky.
There was a strong aura in the air throughout the E4 base, and everyone was tired, but there was fire burning in their eyes.
As if feeling out of place with the atmosphere of the E4 base, Stewart honestly stayed on the "Tropical Pressure", under the natural pretext that "the ship is there and ready to fight." ”
Feng Yu and Luo Yunxi naturally understood his little thoughts, but they were not interested in debunking it. Anyway, Stewart couldn't play any tricks here, so he let him stay on the high-speed ship.
After going to the headquarters for a short meeting and drawing up the next battle plan, Fengyu also felt tired and stayed in the base.
Due to the long hours of combat at the E4 base, the rest time of all officers and soldiers has been disordered, and the command simply maintains the simulated daylight system of the base during the day. Light gives people confidence and courage, makes people forget fatigue, and effectively provides productivity, so E4 has not had a night for a while.
So when Feng Yu woke up, he couldn't even figure out the time. He was awakened by the Level 2 Readiness Alert, which made him immediately ready to fight.
