Chapter 40: The Rescue Mission
(Acknowledgments)
At this time, the most critical thing on the DT3 front line is the E4 star field, which is a star field with almost no development value, and its star is K1 type, which is slightly brighter than the E2 star field where the pirate fleet was located back then. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, E4, which is also a K-type star field, is also a low-value star field, and if it is not located on the front line, close to DT3, it belongs to the area of contention with UAC, and there is no value of fortification here.
Because of this, only the 10th Fleet of the Space Force is stationed in the E4 star field, and there is no local garrison fleet. This time, the UAC sent two mobile fleets to besiege E4, completely with the intention of pulling out the stronghold of New Asia.
Although the E4 field itself has little value, it is strategically important, once this field falls, the defensive circle around DT3 will be opened, and the UAC fleet can use this field as a bridgehead to attack TD4, which is a must for the new Asian Space Force.
In terms of the scale of the battle, the early stage of the E4 campaign was not as good as the DT3 guard battle in SC0099, which had five fleets from both sides participating in the battle, and the 10th Fleet, which relied on the base to fight, held out for five days with one enemy and two, and large-scale fleet battles broke out in the three adjacent star fields around it. Several UAC fleets attacked these star fields in order to contain the space forces stationed there, leaving New Asia unable to rescue E4.
At this time, within a radius of 10 light years with the E4 star field as the core, a total of more than 20 fleets from both sides had gathered, and the scale had completely exceeded the SG4 battle on the other side of the New African Galaxy. At this point, both sides were unable to deploy more forces to the area, and the core of the battle was whether the E4th 10th Fleet could hold out to the end.
It has to be said that the tenacity of the New Asian military is unparalleled, and the reason why the 10th Fleet can be stationed alone in the E4 star field must be justified. Faced with the tremendous pressure of the siege of the two fleets, this fleet held on steadily until the 20th day, and finally ushered in the "Tropical High Pressure" carrying the wind.
In fact, sending Fengyu to save the field is already a dead horse as a live horse doctor, not to mention that a "tropical high-pressure" is like a wave on the seaside in the eyes of the cluster of nearly 100 fleets of UAC, and it can't turn up any wind and waves at all, judging from the comparison of the number of ace pilots on both sides, plus Fengyu, New Asia is still one less than the other party.
But New Asia had to be saved, and Fengyu couldn't help but come.
Once the 10th Fleet is defeated, the loss is definitely not an E4 star field, and these two liberated UAC fleets can be thrown into the battlefield of any surrounding star field at any time, breaking the deadlock in other star fields, and causing the defense circle of New Asia in DT3 to collapse in a chain.
For this reason, the Space Force is stepping up the deployment of the rear second-line fleet to reinforce it, and the local garrison fleet, which has always been the main battle faction, has to temporarily put aside its contradictions and devote itself to this E4 campaign that affects the whole body. It's just that it's too late in time, and the 10th Fleet is basically impossible to hold out until the second-line fleet in the rear arrives, at this time the commanders and fighters of the fleet are exhausted, and the E4 defense line is already in danger.
For the 10th Fleet at this time, even if there is only one ace pilot, it is better than nothing.
The problem is on Fengyu's table, how can he play his role in this battle, how to intervene in a battlefield of such a scale with his own strength, and how to effectively change the situation that the 10th Fleet is on the verge of collapse?
Before the arrival of the "Tropical Pressure" on the battlefield, an emergency meeting was held on board.
Looking at the dense distribution of UAC warships in the three-dimensional starry sky map, the captain of the ship, Major Stewart, expressed his powerlessness, "This is simply a fantasy!" Without waiting for us to get closer to the battlefield, the UAC could sink the Tropical High with just one round of concentrated fire, and I don't see how we can make a difference in this battle. I think it's better for us to wait and see if we can attack a few UAC supply ships, and don't intervene easily in the frontal battlefield. Anyway, if E4 really can't hold it, it's not our responsibility. ”
After a trip to the New African Galaxy, Feng Yu's own military rank was not promoted, but all the personnel on his ship were promoted by one level. Stewart, the nail sent by No, became the biggest beneficiary, and in one fell swoop he stepped from a junior officer to a colonel. It's a pity that his heart doesn't belong to New Asia at all, and he is even more unwilling to die for this country.
For Stewart's disloyal remarks, Fengyu naturally couldn't agree with it. But he didn't immediately object, because he didn't have a good way to solve the current situation for the time being, and he wouldn't be so stupid as to die in vain. If he can save the 10th Fleet and the E4 star field, he doesn't mind sacrifice, but if he can't, he tends to protect himself first.
Luo Yunxi was also thinking, and the others remained silent. For these people, they are well aware of their position on this ace pilot ship, which is only in the service of Colonel "Storm", the ace pilot. Captain Stuart has some power, and Luo Yunxi, as the person closest to Fengyu, can also speak, if they can't come up with useful advice, it is better to say nothing.
The silence lasted for a few minutes, and finally Luo Yunxi was the first to speak, "I can fly the 'Tropical High Pressure' in curvature and directly break into the UAC fleet group, but I can't do anything about what to do after that." ”
Feng Yu was a little moved when he heard this, he knew that Marshmallow's awakening ability could indeed accurately manipulate the "Tropical High Pressure" into the UAC fleet group without being able to use conventional means for reconnaissance. But what's next? How to turn the tide of the war while striking the UAC fleet while ensuring the safety of the "Tropical Pressure"?
After all sorts of tactics that didn't work at all, there was only one way left: decapitation.
Destroy the UAC Fleet Flagship!
It's just that the risk of this method is still very large, first of all, it is necessary to determine which flagship of the opponent is, and suddenly the time left for Fengyu after the fleet group is very short, once he can't destroy the enemy's flagship in the first place, he will soon face a large number of mobile suit sieges, and even ace pilots, and the "Tropical Pressure" will also face the threat of being set on fire at the same time. Secondly, there are a total of two UAC fleets besieging the 10th Fleet at E4, which means that there are two flagships, and even each fleet usually has a capital ship as an alternate flagship, which is usually the commander's seat ship of the 2nd formation.
It's not uncommon to do this, but it needs to be well designed in detail. For this rescue mission, the military department allocated 4 ship chopping knives to Fengyu in one go, all of which were packed in a multi-functional built-in tactical backpack, it can be said that as long as the E4 can be saved, the military department will not hesitate to spend money. It's just that most of the crew members on the "Tropical High Pressure" are not strategic, and Stewart is even more special, and Fengyu can only discuss with Luo Yunxi alone.
So he simply ended the meeting and ordered the "Tropical High Pressure" to wait and see from a safe distance. And he pulled Luo Yunxi to hide in his cabin for further analysis and discussion.
