"This is a rescue operation!" Zhu Nan succinctly entered the topic, "The 2nd Formation of the MGA was besieged by the UAC Federation Fleet in the W1 star field during the execution of the 'Starlight is Our Lighthouse' operation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO Formation 2 is currently hiding in the discrete tray of W1 and is sending an unmanned high-speed boat back to DT3 for help. As a member of the Mobile Force, we must go to the rescue! ”

A formation is a temporary formation under a fleet with an indefinite number of ships. As far as the 2nd formation of the MGA is concerned, it was temporarily formed for the operation of "Starlight is our lighthouse", and the specific number of warships is classified, even Colonel Zhu Nan did not know in advance.

It was not until the information brought by the high-speed boats was obtained that it was learned that the 2nd formation originally had 1 capital ship, 9 destroyers, and 2 supply ships. But in the process of being pursued by the UAC, the supply ship and the 2 destroyers behind the palace have already been sunk. By the time the high-speed boats left W1, the 2nd formation still had 8 warships surviving, equivalent to one-fifth of the total strength of the mobile force. Such losses are unacceptable for this new army, which has been in existence for less than a year.

Rescue is a must! Without even waiting for Major General Pank's order, Junan could make such a decision. In fact, until Major General Pan Ke knew about this and issued an order, the 2nd formation was estimated to have been completely wiped out.

Every captain of the mobile force is oversighted, and every captain has considerable authority and freedom, otherwise in this era when communication is seriously lagging behind the speed of interstellar navigation, special mobile operations will be like headless flies. As the commander of the fleet of the mobile force, Rear Admiral Pan Ke was only responsible for grasping the general direction and formulating strategic guidelines, and the specific implementation was handled by the formation commanders and battleship commanders under him.

If Zhu Nan can be the captain of the MGAS-01 ship, then he must be the best of all the captains in the eyes of Rear Admiral Pank. According to the gossip of the ship's crew, he is expected to be promoted to commodore after the "Starlight is Our Lighthouse" operation, and become the captain and commander of the 1st formation of the mobile force flagship MGAS-00.

At present, this position is led by Rear Admiral Pan Ke himself, and the capital ships of MGAS-00 have been idle in the Tianjing Star Field, and several destroyers under the command of the 1st Formation are acting separately.

Each of these destroyer captains in the 1st formation is a contender for the position of commodore captain of the MGAS-00 ship, and they all show their skills in various star fields of the New Asian galaxy, and in the end, they still rely on their achievements. For now, it should be the MGAS-01 ship with the best results, because of the excellent captain and excellent mobile team.

Let's talk about the W1 star field, which is a star field next to Taiya WH, and has been under the control of the UAC Federation for a long time.

As we all know, Taiya WH is located in the airspace outside the stellar domain, and there is nothing but dark matter. Without the support of the stars and the lack of gravitational traction, it is impossible to build a relatively stationary large space city. However, the soldiers of the fleet cannot always live on a small warship, and need to regularly go to the sky city with a sunshine simulation system to live and rest for a period of time, otherwise it is easy to have mental problems.

Therefore, the existence of the W1 star field is very meaningful, and the UAC Federation has established a semi-fortress space city here for the fleet to rest and recuperate.

The target of the 2nd MGA formation this time was UAC Space City in W1. If this space city can be destroyed, it will be a major blow to Taiya WH's UAC garrison.

The idea of the commander of the 2nd formation was good, but it was a pity that he fell into the encirclement of the UAC. As for the reason, the unmanned high-speed boats that came to ask for help did not provide information in this regard, and it is estimated that the commanders of the 2nd formation themselves did not figure it out.

All in all, while the MGAS-01 was winning many battles in the BH star field, the 2nd formation was under siege, so the "Starlight is our lighthouse" operation was not a successful plan. As a new army of special operations, the mobile army has a long way to go.

W1 is located on the other side of Taiya WH, just 2.3 light-years away from that natural wormhole, while the voyage from DT3 to W1 is 22.1 light-years. In other words, if the MGAS-01 ship wants to go to the W1 rescue of the 2nd formation, it will either have to force its way through Taiya WH, or it will have to take some time to make a detour.

At this time, the 2nd formation was hiding in the discrete plate of W1, and according to Zhu Nan's estimates, it could only hold out for two months at most. After deducting the 20 days taken by the unmanned high-speed boat to return, and the one month required by the MGAS-01 ship to go, they are left with less than 10 days of operational time. If you spend this precious time on a detour in pursuit of safety, you might as well not go to the rescue.

Zhu Nan's plan was to go directly through Taiya WH, and this decision was unanimously supported by two lieutenant colonels, Junichi Nakajima and Nguyen Chi Minh, which was also the first time since the MGAS-01 was put into service. Second mate Ruan Zhiming may have changed after the battle in the BH channel, and he was more convinced by the captain Zhu Nan; And the performance of the first mate Junichi Nakajima, in the eyes of Fengyu and others, seems to be to avoid the bad reputation of poor rescue.

However, it does not matter what the starting point of each person is, the important thing is to have a unified opinion, and there are fewer constraints in action.

Twenty days later, the MGAS-01 ship has arrived in the airspace of Taiya WH, and according to the original plan, it is to fly directly and quietly through this airspace in the form of curvature and jump. The energy response of a warship is negligible in this busy airspace, and every day civilian and commercial ships pass through this natural wormhole that connects the new Asian galaxy with the solar system.

However, most of the crew on the ship were people who had come from the Battle of Taiya WH last year, and naturally they would not forget that millions of space mines had been laid on the main channel leading to here in DT3. This minefield became an excellent barrier, and any ship that arrived here had to exit the curvature flight mode and pass through the channel opened by the Combined Fleet at a normal speed, and it was unlikely that the UAC Federation would be able to clear it.

To this end, Junan fine-tuned the last leg of the route so that his destroyers could avoid minefields.

Today's space is like the ocean of the old days, and at first glance it looks like it is endless, but it hides many dangers. Flying with curvature or jumps at will, you may crash headlong into a passing comet or space meteorite while on course. Everyone knows the result of the plane hitting the bird, so the spaceship will only be worse if it hits a meteorite in a jump or curvature navigation. Moreover, in the state of faster-than-light flight, the optical sensor of the spacecraft cannot capture any images, and only the energy sensor can still function.

Therefore, every time you sail beyond the speed of light in an unfamiliar direction, you are gambling with your life, and every main channel connecting the star fields is explored by our predecessors at the cost of their lives.

Although Zhu Nan is a soldier and is mentally prepared to give his life for the New Asian Republic, it does not mean that he will blindly break away from those safe main lanes and take the warship to unknown airspace.

Therefore, the course adjustment he made can be said to be minimal, just let the MGAS-01 ship exit faster-than-light flight at a distance of 10 astronomical units from the minefield, and then observe a safe short-distance course through optical sensors to detour the minefield, and then return to the normal course.

Doing so wastes about half a day, but it's safer and more secretive.

Revisiting the old place after a year, looking at the vast minefield and the various warship fragments densely packed in the minefield, everyone's mood was extremely heavy. The heroic spirits of their comrades are still wandering in that airspace, and they can only go around, and they have not yet had the ability to pass through the minefield head-on to destroy the UAC fleet and avenge the martyrs. And far away in DT3, a tragic guard battle just ended a month ago, and countless comrades died.

The combination of new hatred and old hatred makes it difficult for all people to calm down. Feng Yu was naturally uncomfortable, he realized that his strength was indeed very weak, and the level of influence was still stuck in a single ship or squad operation, and it had almost no influence on fleet-level battles. It's no wonder that Li Xingyan has no confidence in him, and she doesn't think that Fengyu can enter her mother's sight at all.

I remember watching the recruitment advertisement of the Space Force when I was a child, and the picture of a custom-made aircraft holding a ship chopping knife passed through the thick iron ball army defense line as if it was in a no-man's land, and the picture of a UAC capital ship bursting with one knife was exciting. Now he understands that this is the strength of a one-in-a-million ace pilot, but Feng Yu understands that if he can't do the scene of the recruitment advertisement, he will never have the opportunity to see Li Xingyan again.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, like a stimulated bull, his eyes were red and stared at the minefield picture transmitted back by the optical sensor.

"Patience, young man, we will one day fight back from the front!" Zhu Nan patted him on the shoulder, obviously mistaken.

Feng Yu didn't explain either, for him, it was an equally important event to fight back Taiya WH. And after that, it is the common dream of every new Asian soldier to recapture Dijing!

Of course, that's all for later. At the moment, the priority of the MGAS-01 ship is to bypass the minefield and go straight to the W1 to rescue the trapped 2nd formation. Until then, all was empty talk.
