On March 18, SC0109, DT2, which had been occupied by the UAC Federation since the fall of Jikyo in SC0078, broke out again, and as many as 5 fleets were committed by both sides. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the overall scale of the DT2 conference battle is not as good as the E4 battle six years ago, in terms of the strategic significance of the DT2 star field, the impact of this conference battle will inevitably be greater. Whoever wins or loses will make a huge change in the short-term pattern of the DT2-DT3 line.

Because of this, Lieutenant General Patten dared to send DT2 troops without the permission of Tianjing as a theater commander, which was a big gamble in itself.

The commanders of the front-line theater of the New Asian Republic did have the right to launch military operations within the scope of their duties according to the situation at that time, but in doing so, they needed to bear responsibility for failure, just like Lieutenant General Li Rui did back then. Of course, while taking responsibility, once the military operation led by them achieves a decisive victory, fame and fortune are inevitable.

Although Peng Dingguo's behavior is a gamble, considering that there is Fengyu, the only machine god town, his winning rate is really not low, even if he can't win DT2, it is unlikely that he will lose miserably.

Back then, Vice Admiral Li Rui led the expeditionary force to raid DT2, which was still a bit of a calculation, but there were no people in the fleet who leaked the information in advance, which led to Admiral Goering secretly transferring the "New Asia" from Taiya WH to help. A new America-class mothership is almost as powerful as a combined fleet, and it is not surprising that the expeditionary force has been defeated.

But Li Rui was capable, and in the face of that difficult situation, he still succeeded in bringing back most of the expeditionary force to DT3 with minimal losses. Such a loss is acceptable, and if his actions had ended here, there would have been no subsequent downfall.

As for the later, Li Rui thought that after the departure of the "New Asia", the UAC Federation's troops in Taiya WH were insufficient, so he switched to Taiya WH again, and as a result, he fell into Admiral Goering's serial scheme, which led to heavy losses in the Space Force, and was sent into the cold palace, and there was no chance to lead troops again.

In contrast, Lieutenant General Patten Tingguo, the meritorious hero of the E4 campaign, belongs to the number one celebrity of the New Asian military in recent years, and is deeply trusted by the military department and loved by the people. He is far better at judging the situation than Li Rui back then, and is better at seizing opportunities, and at the same time he has the 10th Fleet, a heroic fleet that has experienced the E4 battle.

After completing the communication with Fengyu, with the promise of this machine god, Peng Dingguo was full of confidence and firmly believed that he was invincible. When they learned that they could cooperate with the "Storm" again, the morale of the officers and men of the 10th Fleet was immediately high, and their fighting spirit boiled. For the veterans of the fleet who participated in the E4 campaign six years ago, Fengyu is an incomparable existence to them.

If Fengyu hadn't taken the initiative to rescue back then, the 10th Fleet would have been completely wiped out and canceled and become the martyr fleet in the textbooks of the New Asian Republic, but now they are alive to enjoy the glory, and have been awarded the title of Hero Fleet, and everyone's chest is full of medals representing various glory.

For these people, the most trustworthy and trusted person in their lives is Fengyu, followed by their fleet commander, Vice Admiral Patten Dingguo, and then the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side back then. To be able to fight side by side with the "Storm" again today, they will not think about the question of victory or defeat at all, just the four words "fighting side by side" are enough to make their blood boil and put life and death out of the way.

Although the 5th Fleet could not have such feelings for Fengyu, Vice Admiral Duterte was more satisfied with this arrangement than Peng Dingguo. Previously, in the name of the commander of the DT3 theater, Peng Dingguo asked him to accompany him to DT2, because he was worried that he would not be able to work, so he had promised that the 10th Fleet would take the lead, and the 5th Fleet would only need to cooperate.

And now the situation has changed, but it is more favorable for the 5th fleet. With Fengyu and his "Tempest" in the lead, then the 10th Fleet will become the main force, and the 5th Fleet will be responsible for the rear and serve as the reserve. In this way, as long as the rear road is not cut off, according to any changes that may arise in the battle situation, whether to fight or retreat, the 5th Fleet has the absolute initiative and can be said to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Speaking of which, this is not a constraint on Vice Admiral Duterte, but that Patten Dingguo also serves as the commander of the DT3 theater with the rank of lieutenant general, and does not have much practical binding force on the fleets in the theater. The reason why he was able to hold this position is also a political legacy of the E4 campaign, and the appointment of the military department is more to give the people a sense of security, rather than really letting Peng Dingguo lead the entire DT3 front.

However, if the DT2 battle is won, the situation will be different. With the prestige of the victories in the two major battles, Peng Dingguo will definitely be directly awarded the rank of general, and if the military department still keeps him on the front line, then his status as a theater commander will not be the same; first of all, the title of the post will be changed from commander to theater commander, and he will become an existence of the same rank as General Goering -- a feudal official with heavy troops.

Similarly, as the commander of the 5th Fleet, who participated in the DT2 battle, Duterte will naturally share the glory and status, even if he will not be promoted to admiral at the first time, it is only a matter of time, and at the same time, he will either serve as the deputy commander of the theater or be transferred to another theater as the commander of the theater.

Of course, it's too early to say this, and all assumptions are based on a complete victory in the DT2 tournament. Not to mention what Feng Yu thinks on his side, for the two lieutenant generals, the victory in this conference battle will be a good thing for the country and themselves, and they will definitely go all out.

At this time, with the "Tempest" taking the lead, the two New Asian Space Force fleets followed, and the attackers of the DT2 battle sailed into the internal airspace within the Kuiper Belt. From here to the DT2 fortress on the second planet will be an empty road, which means that when the time comes to see the dagger, the UAC people will soon find out about their arrival.

The soldiers are very fast, and they must attack as soon as possible while the other side does not know that the 10th and 5th fleets have invaded DT2.

Footage captured from two hours ago from the high-powered optical sensor showed that the UAC's three first-line fleets were all cowering around the DT2 fortress, apparently in order to avoid being broken by the "Storm", and apparently the UAC people also knew that their previous actions would attract the wrath of Fengyu.

This kind of deployment is the most troublesome situation for the attacker, which is equivalent to being forced to take a strong attack.

In fact, DT2, like DT3, adopts a horn-type defense, that is, in addition to the DT2 fortress, there is also a military airport space city for the fleet to station. In this way, no matter which space city is attacked, they can rescue each other without being trapped.

In contrast, those non-strategic star fields are single-base defenses, and it is easy to have the situation of the 10th Fleet being trapped in its own base during the E4 campaign.

But judging from the current situation, Patten and Vice Admiral Duterte would prefer that the three fleets of the UAC would be able to fight each other instead of retreating to the DT2 fortress. Because as long as the opponent's forces are scattered, whether it is a fortress or an airport, it will not have the advantage of troops over the new Asian side. However, they were able to quickly defeat the opponent under the leadership of Fengyu, a top combat force, and lay the foundation for victory.

Suffice it to say, if one of the UAC fleets can be defeated at the beginning of the war, the New Asians will be able to win the DT2 battle. But now that the dream of the two lieutenant generals has been shattered, seeing that this conference battle is very likely to turn into a grinding plate war of attrition, if it is not for Fengyu in front, they are likely to retreat.

So at Duterte's request, the Storm had a three-way call with the flagships of the two fleets.

"Since the other party has put all the heavy troops in the fortress, then the airport is empty. My advice is to attack the airport first and sink it! "That's Duterte's suggestion.

The commander of the 5th Fleet was pragmatic and focused on a victory rather than avenging the Awaker's Peripheral Operations Group. As long as the opponent's airport is sunk, even if you don't do anything next, you can directly withdraw to DT3, which is already an out-and-out victory. A small military feat will fall into the pocket safely, and there will be two or three more medals on the chest.

Feng Yu naturally couldn't agree to the other party's doing, if the 5th Fleet took the advantage and left, close to him and the 10th Fleet, it was really helpless to put up the UAC people who put up an iron bucket formation. "That's not going to work! If we attack the airport first, then our whereabouts will be exposed, and then the UAC people will be prepared, and it will be difficult to attack their fortress again. ”

Regarding Fengyu's statement, Peng Dingguo agreed. For him, with Fengyu joining, it would be a waste to just attack an empty space city with empty defenses. His ultimate goal is still that intractable fortress, or three first-line UAC fleets. Only by achieving one of the two objectives will you be considered a complete victory in the DT2 Grand Battle

"The art of war says that avoiding reality is false, why do you have to go to the enemy, isn't it better to get a substantial victory first?" However, Duterte refused to let go and had to sink the airport. Even if the negotiations fail, he can take his 5th fleet to sink the airport and walk away.

Faced with this situation, it was Lieutenant General Patten who came up with a compromise, "Let's do it on both sides at the same time." A formation was sent by the 5th Fleet to attack the airport, and then the main force followed the 'Storm' to the DT2 fortress. ”

His plan was tantamount to giving the 5th Fleet all the credit for sinking the airport, and even if the battle at DT2 was lost, Vice Admiral Duterte would still be the winner and beneficiary.

How could Duterte be dissatisfied with such an arrangement, if he continued to contradict him, it would not be fun if he provoked Fengyu. You must know that the "Storm" has sunk countless airports, as long as he is willing to make a move, he can completely snatch this credit before the 5th Fleet.

As for Fengyu, now he doesn't need to count the number of falls, and he doesn't look down on any military merits, as long as Duterte doesn't make trouble, he immediately agreed to this arrangement.

A small pre-war episode is known only to the parties involved, and later history books will not record such under-the-table transactions. The sinking of the airport, which lacked defensive forces, was almost a foregone conclusion, and it was quickly put aside by the three principals, who all had their eyes fixed on the hard bone of the DT2 fortress at the same time.
