Even Fengyu realized this, the two fleet commanders could not have imagined that the two flagships began to arrange the retreat as soon as possible, since the UAC Federal Army had arranged this trap and waited for the New Asian Army to jump, then this battle would definitely not be pleased, and it would be a good result to be able to minimize losses. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This battle has been lost at the strategic level, and the only way to do this is to win back some at the tactical level.

Unlike the previous battle, this time the command did not put all the burden of the palace on the Iron Ball troops, mainly because the Iron Ball of the expeditionary force suffered too huge losses in the DT2 battle, and the number of newcomers at this time was too large, if all the pressure was put on them, it was likely to lead to a complete collapse of the defense line, and then affect the entire fleet.

2000 light seconds is an awkward distance, for curvature flight, the distance is too short, before it accelerates for a while, it will start to slow down, if you consider that it takes time to recharge the engine, it is better to take the normal way of flying.

This distance required a little more than an hour of sailing time, and if the New Asian Army did its best, it had every chance to first cripple the UAC garrison of Taiya, which was temporarily in a local weakness, and then calmly retreat. If you can defeat the garrison fleet in one fell swoop, you may have a chance to drive the UAC reinforcements back to the other end of the wormhole in one go.

All in all, the two fleet commanders felt that the current situation could be attacked and defended, and it was worth fighting, so they put the third and fourth waves of iron ball troops that were still resting into the battlefield in advance, and tried to fight a wave against the UAC garrison with an overwhelming advantage, even if they failed to defeat the other side in the end, they would not suffer.

All of a sudden, nearly 10,000 green iron balls appeared in the airspace of Taiya WH, even if it was a bargain known as an iron coffin, the scene was still quite shocking.

The UAC garrison began to retreat in the direction of reinforcements, and at the same time was forced to release their third wave of iron balls to close the gap with the New Asian Army. As for how much damage this will do to the drivers, and how many percentage of the death rate will increase, it is no longer in question.

The iron balls of the New Asian Army pressed frantically, and the dense particle beams were like the brilliant tail of a comet, illuminating this starless space.

Feng Yu didn't have the strength to go crazy with it, he was so happy to be idle, he only took out half of his strength, and turned the 40mm particle beam rifle arbitrarily, so that the pulse excitation module could shoot one shot at a time.

While everyone's attention was attracted by the retreating UAC garrison in front, an unnoticed anomaly was taking place in the rear of the New Asian Army. The concentration of R particles in that space suddenly and dramatically increased to the point of photoblocking. Behind the R particle shielding belt, more than a dozen UAC transport ships were busily ejecting tens of millions of space machine mines, which soon completely blocked the return of the New Asian Army.

For a time, a space mine barrier with an area of several million square kilometers was like a huge spider web, completely blocking the flanks and retreat of the new Asian fleet. If a person suffering from dense phobia sees this scene, he will definitely faint on the spot.

By the time the New Asian Fleet found out about this, they had completely fallen into the encirclement formed by the space mines and the UAC space fleet.

The UAC garrison was not routed, and the UAC reinforcements were approaching the battlefield and were blocked by space machine mines. Is there anything worse than that?

Space mines are not actually lethal to a battleship, but if a battleship flies through a minefield in curvature, the situation is completely different, and the huge relative speed of movement is enough to turn a small mine into a battleship's main gun-level attack, just like a take-off plane hitting a bird. Therefore, the greatest significance of the machine minefield is to prevent the fleet from passing at high speed, not to kill.

The UAC Federal Army is planning to shut down the door and fight the dogs.

Realizing this, the two vice admirals, Li Rui and Kim Tae-eun, had green faces, and dared to fantasize about victory, and immediately made all the battleships and mobile suits turn around and move towards the minefield with the highest level of alarm, and at the same time, the main guns of each battleship fired in unison, bombarded the minefield, and cleared the passage. However, the caliber of the battleship's main guns is limited, and even the particle beam fired from the 2000mm main guns of the new America-class mothership is only a slightly thicker line in space, which is almost negligible compared to the airspace covering an area of tens of thousands of square lightseconds. The shelling of minefields is nothing more than a little effort to gain a chance at life.

What can really clear the minefield is still carried out by relying on a large number of iron ball troops. The New Asian Army sent the first wave of Iron Ball troops that had just been recovered to the minefield to clear the minefields first, and at the same time summoned the Iron Ball Army to retreat.

At the same time that the New Asian Army began to retreat, the UAC garrison, which had been aggrieved for a long time, began to press on a large scale, bullying the enemy troops who had no time to counterattack.

At this moment, Feng Yu finally determined that his approach to preserving his strength was correct. Even if he knocked down two more UAC iron balls just now, it would be useless, so it was better to save some strength to use them at this time.

The battle in the airspace of Taiya WH has become more and more fierce, and the New Asian Army fleet is still counterattacking except for a few warships, and most of them have turned their guns to bombard the minefield. The main guns of the UAC battleships raged as much as they wanted, and they concentrated their fire to sink one new Asian warship after another. In a short time, the two fleets of New Asia lost a total of more than 10 warships, which was already the heaviest loss in recent years, but the tragedy was not over.

Before the arrival of the main force of the Iron Ball, the minefield was cleared very slowly, and the battleship group was soon silted up on the edge of the minefield, relying on a large number of turrets to speed up the pace of demining, and from time to time several battleships were sunk. And the Iron Ball troops were also uncomfortable, being pursued by the tail of the UAC ranks, with a large number of casualties at all times, embellished with lives, and a fireworks carpet was laid out on the retreating road.

Fengyu turned on the maneuvering assistance function of the pulse excitation module for the first time, and after two voyages and more than two months of training, the pulse excitation module was familiar with his maneuvering style, and it complemented each other well. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been able to hold on a long time ago. This round of sorties has lasted for more than two hours now, and now it is the desire and will to survive that drives everyone to continue fighting.

By the time his main Iron Ball unit reached the edge of the minefield, there were more than 2,000 mobile suits of all types that had been downed, and more than 20 battleships had been sunk. On the other hand, the UAC garrison, although it had also knocked out almost the same number of iron balls before, there were basically no losses in the battleships. And with the passage of time, as long as UAC reinforcements arrive, the battle losses of the New Asian Army will further expand.

Even when the Iron Ball Force reaches the edge of the minefield, the mine-clearing work is still difficult. It's not that the huge number of iron balls is not efficient enough, but on the other side of the minefield, the UAC transports have not left, and are tirelessly spewing out machine mines into space, like mushrooms that scatter spores in the spring, constantly increasing the thickness of the minefield.

It has been calculated that at the current rate, even if it is just to clear a narrow passage, it will take at least three hours for the New Asian Army to clear the minefield. Such a long time is enough for the two fleets of the UAC to complete the convergence and crush them with absolute superiority in forces.

Since the outbreak of the SC0074 Space War, the UAC, formerly known as the New American Federation, has conquered the Dijing Star Domain and the Cape of Good Hope Star Domain in the New Asia Galaxy and the New African Galaxy respectively, in addition to its own homeland, the New American Galaxy, and has become a superpower with three habitable planets.

The Earth Federation, which each has two habitable planets, and the new European Union are close behind.

The new Asian republics, which had mastered the two habitable planets of Tenkyo and Jijing before the war, fell to the bottom after losing Jijing.

As for the richest new African kingdom at the time, the three habitable planets have long since been broken after they were divided between the UAC, the new European Union and the Earth Federation. The new African Space Fleet of that year was divided into three, surrendering to surrender, falling grass to falling grass, and lurking to lurk. The one that surrendered had long since been disbanded after many years; The grass falls into the elusive interstellar pirates, forgetting the original hatred and extending their fangs to innocent civilian ships; Only the so-called "rebels" are still fighting for the restoration of the new Africa.

In this big picture, the New Asian Republic has always been weak, and even in its own home turf, it is difficult to regain control of Dijing and Taiya. This time, I finally seized an opportunity to have a military advantage, but I didn't think it was a big hole dug by the UAC Federation. If the expeditionary fleet and the Taiya WH theater fleet are lost here, I am afraid that they will be hit by the UAC Federation Army at the door of the Tianjing Star Domain in one go.

So it's not that Li Rui and Kim Tae-eun are afraid of death, it's not that they don't have blood, and preserving the strength of the fleet is more important than anything else for the New Asia Army. As for the loss of the Iron Ball troops, it is not a big deal, New Asia has no other advantages, that is, a large population. And the cheap iron ball cost and battleships are not comparable, and a thousand iron balls are not comparable to a planetary-class destroyer, let alone a stellar-class capital ship.

At this time, they showed the courage they should have as fleet commanders and issued a new order -- to use troop carriers to remove mines.
