Chapter 619

In the void, the Sunset Gorge space passage 003298 coordinates.

The 1st Squadron Squadron of the 9th Fleet, which was galloping, suddenly slowed down, and Zhou Tai, who was sitting on the bridge of the flagship "Han Shin" in the rear fleet, suddenly stood up from the command chair, stared at the dark starry sky with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The forward fleet slowed down because the enemy fleet appeared!" ”

A lieutenant colonel on the staff bench replied with a slight tremble: "Report to the commander, 8 million kilometers ahead, there is a large amount of energy reaction, according to the judgment of the central intelligence brain, it is a large number of starships, and it should be the main force of the enemy." ”

"It's finally here!" Zhou Tai breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered in a deep voice, "Order the forward fleet to return, the whole fleet, and face the enemy in a circular formation." ”

The 9th Fleet has extremely strict military discipline, after the commander ordered, the forward fleet quickly returned, the heavy cruisers of the three major fleets lay in front of many starships, forming a steel defense line, destroyers and frigates are on the second layer, basically deployed on the two wings of the ring formation, that is, once the formation changes, they will be an important force to attack the enemy fleet, higher speed and flexible evasion, which can enable them to approach the enemy ships in a shorter time, and the two motherships are in the center of the entire formation, Once the enemy ship group approaches, a large number of starship fighters carried by the two motherships will swarm out, although their energy cannons will not cause much damage to the starship's armor, but the high-yield photon missiles carried by the fighters are enough to pose a threat to the large-tonnage warships.

Don't look at the rough skin and thick flesh of the battleship, it has enough energy shield to resist large-caliber energy cannons, but when encountering a seemingly primitive weapon such as a photon missile but with great physical damage, it has to rely on the armor draped outside the starship to resist, one or two or even five or six may be able to resist, but what if it encounters more than ten? That would be the end of the story, and the two motherships could carry more than 1,500 star fighters, and as long as a tenth of them penetrated into the range of their photon missiles, the battleship group would have to blow up.

Therefore, the mothership, a battleship with a huge body, has always been the core of Starfleet tactics, and it is the most important force to ensure that it can defeat enemy ship groups, no matter what kind of formation, the mothership is always closely protected.

The heavy cruiser, which has a hull slightly inferior to the mother ship, ranks first in the entire fleet in terms of armor and energy cannon caliber, and correspondingly, the energy engine is also the most powerful, responsible for blocking the opponent's salvo fire and providing fire support for the entire fleet, whether it is charge or defense, it is at the forefront of the array.

Therefore, the starship soldiers on the heavy cruisers have always had the reputation of "fighting on the tip of the sword", and they are proud of it, and their slogan will always be "forward, forward, glorious cruiser soldiers!" ”

But this time, they were a little silent, because everyone knew that behind them, a mercenary fleet was frantically pursuing, and in front of them, there were enemy troops with no less strength than two fleets blocking the way.

Now, they will be one against three.

Enemies on all sides!

Ahead on all sides.

At this moment, the stellar light that was blocked from sunlight suddenly spilled a line and landed on the Sunset Gorge space passage and the bait ring below.

The once pitch black was lit up in front of everyone's eyes like a bonfire gradually rising.

The space passage is like a gift from the Creator, dazzling and gorgeous above the bait ring.

After gradually getting used to the splendor of the 9th Fleet, which had already set up a defensive formation, they finally discovered that in the distant void, something that seemed to be like a city full of flotsam at the end of spring, was suspended in the distant universe. At this distance, even if it is the farsighted optical system of the battleship, it is not clear to see.

"Send the probe! The probe is scheduled to arrive at the observation position in 10 minutes。。。。。。 ”

"The video is on, it's back, that's!?"

In their field of vision, everyone in the 9th Fleet finally discovered the true face of those things floating in the universe.

Each "flying flotsam" is composed of a formation of warships. The countless "flying flotsam" in the universe ahead are the battleship formations that cover the sky and the sun.

The fleet of mercenaries of the Great Eagle Empire!

In the footage sent back by the probe, the mercenary warship has been reared, and it is clear that they have been waiting here for a long time. And the energy reaction generated by such a large number of starship energy engines, the energy monitor laid by the Federation in the Sunset Gorge Passage did not respond at all.

That can only show that this is the result of an internal and external collusion.

Although they had already encountered such an internal ghost in the Federation, when they saw it with their own eyes, the officers and men of the 9th Fleet were still extremely indignant, if it were not for these traitors, why would they have stepped into the trap of the enemy in the Federation and fallen into such a heavy encirclement?

"If one day I can leave this place alive, I will definitely raise troops to take the heads of those traitors of the Federation, no matter what family he is or what high position he holds." Brigadier General Wu Cheng, who was standing under the bridge, was furious.

"Seconded! Commander, if my 9th Fleet is not destroyed in this battle, I must ask Chief Sun for an explanation, who can be so powerful that he can even make a ghost in such an important place as Sunset Gorge, and the entire Federation should not exceed ten fingers! Vice Admiral Feng Qin, chief of staff of the fleet, was also angry.

It's one thing to know that you might be stepping into a trap, but it's another thing to see a large number of enemy starships appear. It turned out that after all, it was just a plan and speculation, but now it has come true. Although Zhou Dunhou is extremely powerful, he is mainly in the political arena, and he can't intervene too much in this kind of military control, and he is not enough to carry that weight.

The feeling of being betrayed by their own people was far more heartbreaking for these Federation soldiers than facing a group of powerful enemies.

"Shut up, all the truth, sooner or later will be revealed, what we have to do now is not to discuss what will happen after the war, but to live now." Admiral Zhou Tai glanced at the generals under his command and roared. "However, the remarks of the people on the bridge, the Central Wisdom Brain can not make any deletions, and the original version will be transmitted to the information base."

Obviously, the facts in front of him made the veterans with a serious personality a little angry.

However, compared to the generals under his command, he was obviously more restrained, and waved his hand: "Prepare for battle, we will hold out until the independent fleet arrives!" ”

"Yes!" The generals roared and commanded.

However, compared to the high-ranking officers of the 9th Fleet, who knew that Tang Lang had destroyed Francis and Zhou Dunhou in one fell swoop in Daliang Xing, the ordinary officers and men of the 9th Fleet did not have much confidence in the so-called independent fleet that was about to come to the rescue.

"Oh my God! It's all starships! Can we win? There are too many of them. ”

"Nonsense, I didn't listen to the captain, we hold on and wait for the rescue of the independent fleet."

"Is it the fleet you've never heard of? I don't know if they dare to come! ”

"Whether it works or not, then we have to fight!"

It has to be said that a considerable number of officers and men, after seeing the huge fleet of mercenaries, have already felt a little timid, and they have even become suspicious of the independent fleet that has not yet appeared, not because they doubt their combat effectiveness, but even whether they dare to come.

This is the most normal psychology. If you say that you can see that your opponent is far superior to your own without a trace of timidity, it is undoubtedly a myth for the Federation soldiers.

A soldier is a soldier, but he is also a human being, and he has a lot of emotions and desires. Of course they will be afraid, they will be afraid, they will be cowardly.

However, when they join the organization of the army, they must be subordinate to the whole, and all personal emotions can only be subordinated to it, and only in this way can they be qualified to be called soldiers.

people, behind the army.

And compared to the most normal fear after the first sight of the enemy's large forces, there will also be brave enough people to ignore these things, so that they are qualified to become commanders. A sheep with a flock of lions does not necessarily win a war, but a lion with a flock of sheep may do.

"Come on, the little cubs of the Great Eagle Empire have been washed and waiting, so let's go and slaughter them!" The captain with a rugged personality loudly announced the whole ship from the bridge.

There are also people who shouted uninhibitedly, "Let's go, pack the energy cannonballs and give them them!" When they go to hell, they also carry bags full of gifts! ”

Seeing that their commanders were fearless, the courage of the officers and men gradually overcame the fears that had arisen spontaneously before, and they also laughed and burst out to send greetings to all the female members of their families to the mercenary fleet, which could not hear their roars at all, and at the same time, they repeatedly inspected the various equipment that they could throw energy into the distance.

Many people will say that soldiers are rude, but they don't know that in such a battlefield on the line of life and death, only this rudeness can dispel the pervasive fear of a confused future. Those who have not experienced war will never understand the psychological pressure that soldiers endure between life and death.

From generals to soldiers, no one can handle it calmly.

Compared with the surging emotions of the 9th Fleet, the two mercenary fleets blocking the way of the 9th Fleet were much quieter.

Located on the bridge of its flagship ship is a gray-haired, thin-faced man with a pair of high and bulging hooked noses, if you are familiar with the starry sky celebrity list, you can see at a glance that this is the famous general who ranks at the top of the starry sky celebrity list, known as the "Falcon" Nas, and is also the supreme controller of the Black Eagle Company.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was a mercenary, based on his record of commanding three mercenary fleets over the years, his ranking would not even be lower than that of Sun Hong, the current number one military officer in the Southwest Federation.

After all, the Southwest Federation has not experienced a major war in a hundred years, but this one has commanded three fleets and experienced countless actual battles, and even destroyed several small starry sky state regimes and supported the pro-Great Eagle Empire regime to come to power.

"Francis's signal has not been in contact with the main fleet for more than ten hours, it seems that the secret report sent by the intelligence officer is true, and he and Zhou Dunhou have fallen into the trap of the Federation and are finished." Nas shook his head with a somewhat depressed face, and looked at the 9th Fleet of the Southwest Federation, which had begun to deploy a defensive formation in the image from the optical detector millions of kilometers away, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. "The Southwest Federation is really capable! I didn't expect that as soon as my Black Hawk Company entered here, it would lose a fleet commander, then, I'm sorry, I can only use your corpse to pay for my subordinates' lives, otherwise, what will I do to Ivor Bus! ”

"Pass on my order, the whole army will meet the enemy in a goose-shaped array, and after firing three rounds of volleys, it will turn into a sharp arrow formation, and each detachment will use the cruiser as a blade to cut the opponent in the starry sky." Nas gently stroked the chair and ordered indifferently.

"General, the intelligence staff also reported that the other side has an independent fleet galloping towards this side, and issued a galaxy-level summoning order, and now I don't know how many troops it has." A general with the rank of lieutenant general may not have expected that as soon as he came into contact, his commander would give the order for a general attack of the whole army, and his face changed and he suggested. "It's better for our army to contain the enemy's 9th Fleet with one force, while the other part ambushes the enemy rushing to help, and then make every effort to eat the fleet in front of us after solving that fleet."

"What General Stan said is actually not unreasonable, and the tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements is undoubtedly the most correct place to put it here." Nas nodded, approving his subordinates' suggestion, but then rejecting it entirely. "But General Stan, you are wrong, our army is not here to conquer the city, but to be responsible for involving the energy of the Southwest Federation's supreme command organization, so that the Jeppen people can deal with the elite fleet of the Southwest Federation on the front line more calmly. If we allocate half of our forces to deal with the so-called independent fleet that issued a convocation order with great fanfare, then the strength to contain the current 9th Fleet will be insufficient, and if this fleet is allowed to escape unexpectedly, even if we completely annihilate the independent fleet that is not in the establishment of the Southwest Federation, our army's strategic intentions will also fail. ”

"Understood, General!" The lieutenant general suddenly realized. "If we can gather all our strength to annihilate this main fleet of the Southwest Federation, the Southwest Federation will shake the whole country, and we will have to concentrate part of our energy on dealing with our fleet, and the Jeppen people will have the upper hand, and the Southwest Federation, which must take care of both the left and right, will be attacked by the enemy, and sooner or later it will collapse."

"Yes! Therefore, the battle to destroy the Southwest Federation is not on its borders, but in the hands of you and me! Isn't that a good feeling? Perhaps thinking that he was making history, the "Falcon", who was a little depressed because of the loss of a heavy general like Francis, smiled at the corner of his mouth, slowly stretched out his hand, and clenched it suddenly, "We are making history and becoming the first mercenary army that can destroy a country with a population of tens of billions." ”

Twenty minutes later, the endless void between the two armies, which was close to a million kilometers, was pierced by a dazzling pillar of pink energy light.

Stars once shone brightly, dimped by the energy generated by the high-tech created by humans.

There are more than 140 mercenary starships copied from Sanban, and each salvo fires more than 500 energy main guns, not including countless energy secondary guns.

The group of ships, led by 6 heavy cruisers of the 9th Fleet, raised energy shields of up to 13 levels of strength, blocking the destroyers and frigates, as well as the mother ship.

After surviving the first round of salvos, the energy shield of the cruiser that was hit by the most energy bombardment had turned from blue to pink, and basically had no chance to survive the second round.

But none of the cruisers retreated, because they knew that the energy engines of destroyers and frigates were much weaker than theirs, and if it was a salvo from a fleet, they might still survive the first and second rounds, but with a salvo of this intensity, they would hardly be able to survive a round before they would be blown out.

They can only block themselves, the energy shield can't hold it, so they use armor to block, armor can't block, as long as the hull is not completely destroyed, they use the hull to block until they completely become cosmic dust.

Because, they are "warriors on the tip of the knife", and their battle cry is, "Onward, onward!" ”

As a result of the three salvos of disparity in strength, three of the heavy cruisers of the 9th Fleet were broken through the armor by the broken energy shield, and the huge hull erupted with blazing tongues of fire, and the starship soldiers in charge of damage management could only hold tools in vain and desperately plug the large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters, and one was accidentally swept into it by the cathartic energy and turned into ashes, or was sucked into the universe by the void together with the alloy deck on the soles of his feet, becoming an eternal fragment wandering in the void.

And this, still paid for the result of several destroyers being blown up, otherwise the three seriously damaged heavy cruisers were likely to lose power and be completely paralyzed, and they had to be ordered to abandon the ships.

After they were damaged and targeted by the enemy ships, five destroyers resolutely broke out of the gap and crossed ahead of them with hulls far smaller than cruisers, blocking the monstrous artillery fire for them and buying them enough time to raise the energy shield that regained energy input.

The cruiser soldiers were teary-eyed, watching the destroyers located more than a thousand kilometers in front of them be shattered by the enemy's surging artillery fire, shattering the energy shield, piercing the armor, and then becoming a ball of fireworks in the universe.

This is my comrade-in-arms, you blocked the gun for me, so now I am replaced, even if it is death!

This is my brother, remember that after I die, go to see our father and mother for me!

There are no words, all actions are the best way to tell.

There is nothing alive can do but press the button and drop more energy projectiles into the void at the enemy's side before they die, even if it's just a ripple on it!

It's like an antelope meets a lion, even if every bite you take can leave a terrible wound on the body, but the antelope's desperate counterattack can also make the lion breathe in pain, as long as you are tenacious enough to fight back.

The mercenary fleet is also flying with steel, lined up in a goose-shaped array, which certainly increases the intensity of artillery fire, but it also means that all starships, large and small, are exposed to the opponent's energy cannon strike range.

Although Zhou Tai, the commander of the 9th Fleet, is not very high in the starry sky celebrity ranking, after this battle, there must be a place at the top of the rankings.

Unlike the "Falcon", who was eager to break through his formation, all his attacks were focused on the destroyers of the three mercenary fleets. As the most balanced warship in the fleet, the destroyer can be attacked and defended, and is an indispensable part of the fleet.

But it is obviously difficult for them to block the firepower output from heavy cruisers and firepower delivery ships, especially when the opponent simply ignores the heavy starships and small starships, and just stares at them.

The mercenary fleet had the record of destroying five destroyers of the 9th Fleet and inflicting heavy damage on three cruisers with superior forces, which was somewhat disgraced in the face of the huge battle damage caused by the same 10 destroyers on its own side.

"What a tough opponent to deal with!" Nas's gaze turned grim. "However, the destruction of such an elite army will make your country and people hurt to the marrow, isn't it?"

The battle, after the mercenary fleet launched a charge, entered the white heat.

Half an hour later, Tang Lang led the independent fleet to the battlefield, and the mercenary fleet, which had already detected the energy mutation, took the initiative to withdraw from the range of the energy main guns of both sides, and confronted the independent fleet and the remnants of the 9th fleet.

What remained in front of the soldiers of the Independence Fleet was a scene so tragic that they almost stopped breathing.
