Chapter 10 Support, Mentorship, and Arrest
At 19:03 on August 21, Tianhe 623, the battle outside the base was fierce but orderly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At 23:05 the night before, Vice Admiral Wang Yu, commander of the Sixth Fleet, received an urgent communication from the General Command of the Alliance Theater of Operations, ordering it to quickly reinforce the Third Fleet in the Sea Lion Star Zone.
When he received this order at first, Wang Yu was still confused, wasn't the Third Fleet recuperating on the second front? There will be a war, and his fleet will need to be reinforced. When he learned the details, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
As we all know, the Alliance's fleet has always controlled the cosmic front to the northwest of the Gavin Nebula, while the rest of the region has been safe and sound. And now, the Zerg actually have the ability to besiege an Alliance Legion fleet in other regions!
Even if the Third Fleet suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles, in any case, the Third Fleet is also a first-class combat group in the alliance, and the so-called emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and no matter what casualties they receive, their combat effectiveness will be much stronger than that of ordinary garrison fleets.
But such a fleet stationed at the rear of the second-level front is now being besieged by the ferocious siege of the Zerg, and it has the intention of being completely annihilated. Can you imagine what if this number of Zerg infiltrates the star sector where the garrison is stationed? What if it's a human settlement? I can imagine what kind of corpse mountain and blood sea it will be!
After understanding the situation, Wang Yu did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately gathered all the troops of the Sixth Fleet, stepped up to the star-level jump airspace, and made a long-distance space jump to the Sea Lion Star Area to reinforce the Third Fleet.
When the Sixth Fleet sailed into the Sea Lion Star Zone, the company was attacked by more than a dozen cosmic protozoa.
Although the scale of each attack was not very large, and it could not cause actual damage to the fleet at all, Wang Yu still became more and more frightened, because the speed of their fleet's march was seriously delayed. In this way, before they reach the combat area, the Third Fleet will be completely annihilated.
"Communications officer, give me the 211th Division Headquarters!" Wang Yu couldn't wait any longer, he wanted his troops to get to the war zone as soon as possible, even if only a part.
Thirty seconds later, the communication screen of the flagship bridge lit up, and the commander of the 211th Division, Gurres, appeared on the screen.
"Now that the situation is critical, order your troops to break away from the fleet, accelerate their advance, and rush to the war zone as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!" With a brief reply, the communicator was turned off.
In less than a minute after that, the small and medium-sized high-speed warships in the front of the fleet that were responsible for opening the way began to accelerate violently and quickly broke away from the fleet.
Wang Yu watched the fleet leave, and his heart was a little settled. The 211th Division is the sharp knife force of the Sixth Fleet, and with the help of this force, the Third Fleet should be able to hold out until the arrival of its main force.
"Electrify the whole army, the next time you encounter the enemy, only part of the fleet will resist, the main fleet must not be entangled, and march to the theater of operations at full speed!"
"Yes!
At 11:25 on the 21st, the 211 Assault Division rushed to the theater of operations without the slightest stop. The division was divided into several squads and sent reinforcements to different battlefields.
Of course, reinforcements are also prioritized. First in line are the command structures above the division level, followed by the logistics supply troops, then the fleets in space, and finally the base troops stationed on the major planets.
Because of this, the 211th Division did not rush to the planet to reinforce the major bases in the first place. It was not until the main forces of the Sixth Fleet arrived that the 211th Division was freed up and began to organize a planetary landing operation. At this time, it was already 18:16!
――――――――――――――――――
Back to the present, a detachment of the 211th Division reached the skies over the fourth base. The commander of the unit shook his head with a sigh, looking out the window at the base that had become a ruin and the smoke that had not yet dissipated, and he could imagine what kind of fierce fighting this base had experienced.
"Can you contact the survivors of the base?" The commander turned back to the correspondent and asked.
"No way!" The correspondent shook his head and said: "They only sent us the location coordinates five minutes ago, and immediately cut off contact after that. “
"It could have been discovered!" The commander stood up and "ordered the troops to quickly resolve the battle and search for survivors deep into the base." ”
"Yes!"
"Hopefully it's still in time!" The commander muttered.
At the sound of the order, the pace of the battle over the base was noticeably accelerated. In the sky, one scythe after another was shot down by flying mechs, and the destroyers and rippers on the ground were swept away with naval guns by warships in low-altitude orbits. Soon, the Zerg outside the base were wiped out.
"According to the intelligence, they should still be in the confidential warehouse." The on-site commander glanced at the map that had been passed and continued: "The entrance is sealed, carry the laser cutter for me......"
His words were not finished, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat and could not be uttered. From his gaze forward, it was the entrance to the base.
At this moment, at the only remaining entrance to the ruined base, a group of tired soldiers slowly walked out of it. Those were the survivors of the base, and they came out on their own.
In the impression of these reinforcements, this base has been beaten by the Zerg and is powerless, so they can only hide in the warehouse in despair, block the passage, and pin their hopes on these reinforcements. But they never expected that they would fight it themselves.
The procession was still marching, two or three hundred people had already walked out, but it seemed as if it was far from over.
"Who's your commander!" The front-line commander finally came to his senses, "Please come to me, I want to know the situation!" ”
The soldiers in the group looked at him and passed his words to the back of the group. Soon, a young ensign officer ran out of the base.
The second lieutenant ran up to him, looked at his rank of lieutenant, and immediately saluted him: "Second Lieutenant Ace of the 4th base of the 207th Division, report to you!" ”
"You're the commander here?" The lieutenant looked at Ace suspiciously. Obviously, he didn't believe that under the leadership of such a junior young officer, this base could save so many people.
"It's not me, it's Captain Zhang Yunfan!" Ace shook his head and said, "But he can't be regarded as the commander of our base, he is from the transportation department, and he came to our base because of supply problems." ”
"Oh?! Transportation department? And finally the defense he commanded? "Obviously, the lieutenant understands the unwritten rules of the army. After receiving an affirmative answer, he couldn't help but feel a little pity. It is estimated that the future development prospects of an officer with such command talent are already ......
"Please call him out, I'm going to take him to the fleet commander to report."
"Yes!" Ace saluted the lieutenant again, then turned and ran towards the base.
It wasn't long before Ace returned with an officer, and the lieutenant couldn't believe his eyes when he saw it. A young man wearing the uniform of a transport fleet officer, who looked younger than the officer just now, walked slowly under the leadership of Ace.
Although he didn't want to believe it, the lieutenant still preemptively saluted Zhang Yunfan.
"Sir, please come with me to the fleet command room."
"Okay!" After seriously saluting the lieutenant, Zhang Yunfan agreed to his request.
――――――――――――――――――
In the fleet command room, Commander Cowan and Zhang Yunfan sat opposite each other.
"I still thought that who is so capable, and can keep this base under such conditions, it turns out to be Zhang Dacai of our academy!"
"Senior, stop making fun of me!" Zhang Yunfan smiled bitterly, the benevolent brother in front of him was also a graduate of the First Academy, but he was two years higher than him. And Zhang Yunfan also received a lot of care from him when he first entered the college.
"How did you get to the transport unit?" Cowan was very strange, the little junior brother in front of him was an out-and-out figure when he was in the academy, and graduates of his level were the primary targets of the major legions. "I thought you must have gone to the headquarters of some legion!"
Faced with Cowen's question, Zhang Yunfan only shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly said that he didn't know.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and it was not until the troops began to camp and prepare for dinner that the two stopped.
"Okay, you register the documents first, and we'll talk later." As he spoke, he took a recorder from the adjutant and handed it to Zhang Yunfan.
Zhang Yunfan also cooperated very well to put his ID card into the recorder and scan his fingerprint for confirmation.
"Alright, call it a day!" Cowan threw the recorder into the adjutant's arms, and walked out with Zhang Yunfan in his arms. As he walked, he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to taste the food of our fleet, and I'll tell you, ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped by the adjutant. With a look of displeasure on his face, the adjutant handed over the recorder.
"What......" Cowan suddenly stopped talking, and silently read the data on the recorder. After that, he looked at Zhang Yunfan again.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Yunfan was a little hairy by him. I always felt that he had seen this expression somewhere.
"It's okay! What could happen! Cowan slammed the recorder into the adjutant's hand, and climbed up on his shoulder.
"Let's go, let's eat!" As he spoke, he hugged Zhang Yunfan and walked out.
As soon as they stepped out of the bridge, they were surrounded by a group of heavily armed soldiers. Before Zhang Yunfan could figure out what was going on, he was pushed hard in the back, and just as he stumbled forward, the soldiers rushed up and pressed him heavily to the ground.
"Cowan, your sister! What do you want! ”
"It's not what I want to do, it's what you do?" Cowan slowly walked up to Zhang Yunfan and handed the recorder to Zhang Yunfan.
I saw that it was written: Zhang Yunfan, rank captain, head of the 09 detachment and supply base. Tianhe 623-08-21 left the base at 3 p.m. with a large amount of equipment. It is now suspected that he has escaped with military property, and all departments are requested to arrest him immediately after discovering it.
"I can explain that all the officers and soldiers of this base can testify for me."
"You don't need to explain it to me, and it's useless to explain it to me. I'm just in charge of the arrest, so you'd better keep it and explain it to the Judge Advocate General's Office!" Cowan smiled and spread his hands, and then said to the soldiers next to him: "Captain Zhang will be escorted into the confinement pod for me, and then sent to the Third Fleet Judge Advocate General!" ”
"Yes!"
"Just stay honest!" As he spoke, he flicked Zhang Yunfan's head heavily, and laughed: "I've wanted to do this for a long time, you stinky little ghost!" ”
"I'll go ......" If Zhang Yunfan can get up now, he will definitely beat this schadenfreude senior.
"Take it away for me!" After everyone fixed Zhang Yunfan's hands and feet, they carried him out.
Just as Cowan was about to report the incident to his superiors, a sentence floated from afar.
"I remember! Cowen, you wait for me~~~"
