Chapter 439: An Unexpected Quagmire
If Tang Lang would have known that the Jiepeng people were so indomitable and sent a reconnaissance fleet to jump to the same place to find the whereabouts of the First Fleet, he would definitely warn him kindly: This broken place, Tai Tee Niang is dangerous, and those who come are stupid!
The point is, the people of Jeppon also have to believe it!
The magnetic storm in the Bermuda star field actually reached its peak half a month later, and it was not until two months later that it gradually decayed to the moment when the "Immortal Bird" starship resolutely changed its course to find the "Golden Eagle 3".
The peak value of the magnetic induction index at the core even reached 4800 Tesla, and the destructive power generated by the stellar ion storm encountered on Rafite was simply weaker than that, which was the terrible magnetic value of the starship that turned into scrap metal as soon as it touched almost all electronic devices.
Imamura's reconnaissance fleet actually began to jump on the eighth day after the Battle of Bermuda, and although this area is not considered a magnetic storm core, and it has not reached the peak of magnetic induction, the magnetic induction of up to 1500 Tesla has caused the artificial wormholes that can tear through space to a certain extent.
In other words, there was a small error in the originally calculated space points. As the saying goes, "the difference is a thousand miles", if it is placed in the vast starry sky, then it is not just a thousand miles of error? This difference is 100 million kilometers away.
The Recon Fleet was directly off-track by nearly 30 light-years and jumped directly into another pirate-infested airspace in the Dark Star Field. If we just jump over like this, there is still a destroyer and two frigates to escort us, even if we can't win, we won't escape! Wouldn't it be over when you've accumulated enough energy after a while and then jumped back?
Unfortunately, the Bermuda magnetic storm was so terrible that it could affect anti-space, and the core components of the energy engines of the five starships that jumped in the anti-space channel were all severely damaged. It's very melancholy.
Jumping to a point in space that is not recorded at all is fine, but what if the energy engine that provides important energy inputs such as the main power and the energy cannon of the whole ship is broken?
The cautious Imamura did not dare to make any changes until the energy engines of the ships were completely scrapped, but threw out various monitors and small search ships to reconnoiter the surrounding millions of kilometers and report the situation to the headquarters who were not a few light years away and asked for support.
It stands to reason that this kind of operation is prudent and correct.
But the key thing that makes many bigwigs in the Jeppen Empire numb is that they don't know why such a strange phenomenon can occur in a very ordinary jump, and the energy engine is destroyed, is this especially cursed by the wizards of the Dark Star Field? And the most painful thing for them was that there was no record in the Jiepeng Empire at the space point transmitted back by the reconnaissance fleet, and it should obviously still be in the Dark Star Domain.
Their speculations have proven to be perfectly correct in the near future.
The huge energy response of the jump point attracted the attention of several air pirate forces, and after a few terrifying eons, the air pirates finally sent out their own reconnaissance boat.
The officers and men of the Jeppen fleet showed a very high combat quality, although the energy engine was finished, but relying on the energy battery, the small reconnaissance boat still completely annihilated the air pirates who were not very popular, and learned from the few prisoners that they were about the approximate location.
It's not that the air pirates can't say the specific space point, but as a group of air pirates at the bottom, some of them have never even stepped out of the area of tens of millions of kilometers around the celestial body, do you think they can know the specific space value here? Even if there is, it is also a value used by the natives in the Dark Star Field, and compared to the value of the Jeppen Empire, which is outside the territory and uses the entire starry sky for spatial positioning, it is completely equivalent to a chicken and a duck.
That's all you can know about in the Jeppen Empire. Because, the message that came from the reconnaissance fleet was always "request for support." ”
The reason is simple, air pirates, here it is again!
Yes, when the air pirates tried again and again, they found that the five large starships moored in the void were nothing more than paper tigers, which could neither walk, nor could their main guns and a large number of secondary guns fire back.
God has been merciful! Send such a big piece of fat to my brothers?
The results are clear.
The five Jeppen starships have done everything they can to resist, when the air pirates chose to board the ship in an attempt to occupy the magpie's nest, the mecha troops in the starship made the most tenacious resistance, according to the records of the Jeppen war history, the entire fleet killed nearly two integrated mecha battalions of air pirate mechas, and the weakest defense data communication ship even did not hesitate to self-detonate to protect the honor of the Jeppen Empire.
This is where all communication is cut off.
There is no record in the war history of the Jeppen Empire, originally just wanted to rob the starship but did not expect that the air pirates who ran into a bloody encounter also provoked ferocity, entangled five gangs large and small, with a destroyer and more than ten assault ships as the main force and invested nearly 2,000 mechs to board the ship. The red-eyed pirates soaked the entire fleet with their own blood and the blood of their enemies, and only thirty female members survived the reconnaissance fleet.
And falling into the hands of these air thieves, their tragic fate can also be imagined. Perhaps the only role is that when the Jeppen Empire once again organizes a large-scale support fleet across space, they can become the narrators of this dark history of the Jeppen Empire's military.
Knowing that his colleagues had suffered this bad luck, the Jeppen Imperial Fleet naturally couldn't give up, and all the air pirates in the star field were wiped out, and that anger was even far greater than the level of provoking this incident to completely destroy the Miyamoto family caravan air pirates.
But the indigenous forces entrenched in the Dark Star Domain, which have destroyers and frigates, are not vegetarians, hundreds of years ago, it was they who fought fiercely with the Jeppen Empire to cut off the clutches of the Jeppen Empire, and now the Jeppon people are coming again?
The starry sky, which was dozens of light-years away from the meteorite starry sky, gathered a huge fleet of more than 20 destroyers, 50 frigates, and up to 300 assault ships in a month. The task force commanded by Admiral Yamoto, commander of the Third Fleet, is naturally not a vegetarian, and the entire fleet has two motherships and four heavy cruisers, not to mention the capital ships, but also has 50 large and small starships, such as destroyers, frigates, and fire support ships.
In just half a day, Jeppen's Third Fleet defeated the Dark Star Domain Alliance, destroying more than 200 starships, while its own side only lost 10 destroyers and frigates.
Since then, no force here can oppose the Jeppen Empire, on the surface, the fierce Jeppen fleet has obtained absolute control of the Dark Star Domain, but no one expected that this would become a nightmare for the Jeppen Empire.
The Dark Star Domain, but not only the forces on this side, the Jeppen Empire is like a hornet's nest, more and more air pirates are responding to the call to rush here, and even jumping from the natural wormhole more than 100 light years away. After the meteorite starry sky got the news, at the instigation and even strong support of Shen Chengfeng, not only sold destroyers and frigates at a reduced price, but also did not hesitate to send observers to give tactical guidance to the air pirates.
The concept of starry sky guerrilla warfare was also created by Shen Chengfeng and provided to the air pirate bosses, which is exactly in line with the characteristics of the air pirates. Allowing the air pirates to form an army to fight the enemy together is actually the biggest shortcoming of the air pirates who lack sufficient command experience, and the last decisive battle was beaten to a pulp is really the most obvious embodiment of "using one's own shortcomings to learn the strengths of others".
Divided into a small group of fleets to carry out non-stop attacks on the Jeppen people, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't hit Lao Tzu, you can run, destroyers and assault ships are starships that rely on mobility, and they can slip away so fast. The way the Jeppon fleet responded was also very simple, subdividing each detachment into a small fleet with destroyers as the core to deal with the endless attacks.
This method of warfare was still effective in the early days, and from time to time it was able to take out a few starships that were not running in time, but when the air pirates began to use their familiar star environment and began to gradually understand the essence of starry guerrilla warfare, or when the "Immortal Bird Legion" also sent a small task force composed of five destroyers, three frigates, a communication ship, and a reconnaissance ship to participate in the battle, the nightmare of the Jeppen people really came.
A small fleet of five starships was ambushed by more than twenty air pirate starships of various types in the chase of air pirates, and the fleet led by a heavy cruiser with three destroyers and five frigates to support was powerful, but the air pirates actually played around to help, so who can hold on?
The 15 destroyers and more than 20 frigates that suddenly appeared in the shadow of the stars almost frightened tens of thousands of Jeppen officers and men.
Under a fierce battle, when Jeppen's main fleet arrived, including the small fleet that had been ambushed before, although it was not said that all the troops were destroyed, 11 starships were destroyed or seriously damaged, and the overall losses even exceeded the battle with the air pirates.
If it comes twice, then the Third Fleet will almost be able to declare the end of the calf. The grim situation forced Yamoshita to order all starships in the fleet not to leave the airspace where the main fleet was located.
In other words, no matter where Jeppen's fleet goes, it has to travel as a whole fleet, even if it is to get a mine from a mine that has already been conquered, it has to travel with dozens of starships. The dignified admiral was also the commander of the fleet, and he had to take on the heavy responsibility of being the commander of the ore transportation.
It's a bit like the experience of their ancestors fighting against the huge territory of the Chinese people for thousands of years, even if they go out to pull a flight, they have to form a group, otherwise maybe at that time, the is still there, and the brains are gone.
While huddling together with extreme caution, the Third Fleet, which had nearly two-fifths of the battle damage, appealed to the Empire for help, and in a fit of rage, Emperor Jeppen sent the unlucky man of the Sixth Legion, Tanimura, and his men to the Dark Star Field.
The two disabled fleets are put together, which is equivalent to another weapon in the Dark Star Domain that is larger than a main fleet.
The blazing flames of war were once again ignited.
But this time, the air pirates who have learned to be obedient will not be stupid enough to run around and play the Armageddon again. Anyway, when your big army comes, we will run, and when your small army comes, we can do it, and if you can't do it, call friends to do it with you.
The Jeppen fleet, which has more than 70 starships of various types, is in a dilemma, but for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor's face, it can only hold on to it. Every day may be greeted with losses, and the only thing that can be done is to send back to the country the looted strategic minerals, which are not very large
This is also where future military historians are dumbfounded, they don't understand what Emperor Jeppen thought at that time, he was about to fight against the Southwest Federation, and he would actually let a main fleet and another powerful legion comparable to the main fleet be trapped in the mud of the Dark Star Field.
Perhaps, it's the brain pumping? Or, he was very optimistic that even if the Jeppen Empire only had seven fleets and five major legions, it could form a crushing force against the Southwest Federation?
And this decision turned out to be extremely stupid.
Maybe even Tang Lang didn't expect that it was just a slap in the face of the Jiepeng people, which caused such a chain reaction, causing the two powerful armed forces of the Jiepeng people to not withdraw from the Dark Star Field until the later stage of the war between the two countries.
Admiral Tanifumura's dream of being promoted to marshal has been completely shattered from the moment he beat the air thieves to the point that his hair turned white.
Two fools, that's the last evaluation of the two of them after His Majesty the Emperor had waited for almost four months without waiting for their good news.
