The battle to destroy the stripping device lasted for 5 hours, and Unit 04, 08, and 02 were destroyed one after another. The number of elite squads we've eliminated has also increased to five. Later, I didn't even know why I was still fighting. With my instincts, and the weapons I picked up from the corpses of my companions, I used my lethality to move between the attacks of the elite and terror. As the Stripping Device 02 turns into cosmic junk in the explosion, news arrives from the Kings that Mrs. Wall begins to evacuate the remaining stripping device.

With the appearance of a series of explosive fireballs in the Earth's mid-orbit, the unmanned fleet officially abandoned the tactical goal of atmospheric stripping.

Looking at the terrifying device that disintegrated in light and shadow, I suddenly felt empty in my heart. The last five hours were the most glorious moment of my life. There has never been a time when I have been able to make a bigger difference. I felt that even if I died immediately, I would no longer have regrets.

"Sir, it's hard work, please gather your troops according to the return signal, it's time for us to go."

Jasmine's tone was unusually soft. Maybe it's an illusion, but I always feel like I'm surrounded by smiling eyes.

With the order to retreat, dozens of flaming lightsabers rose from the Earth's atmosphere, and they were the last Thresher Class transports carrying refugees and strategic supplies. For a long time after that, we will no longer be able to return to this planet.

I suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia. Although he is an orphan, he has no sense of identity with this planet where he once read his childhood. I always feel that my childhood life is unsatisfactory and sarcastic. But when I was about to leave here, and maybe never come back, I realized that I was deeply in love with this blue planet.

I vowed in my heart that if I could survive, I would come back again and climb on the land of my hometown.

......

......

The bridge of the Wanwang, I have been standing in front of the electronic sandbox for a long time. We are facing a difficult choice. Due to the lack of intelligence and the loss of contact with all the reconnaissance probes prepared in advance, we now have no idea about the location of the main fleet and the unmanned ship groups that were lured away.

From three hours earlier, Admiral Kramer had ordered all the battleships to open up their maximum ability to search for the whereabouts of the two fleets. Even if the main fleet is finally wiped out by the unmanned fleet, it is necessary to figure out where they are in the end.

We are no longer the elite high-speed fleet we used to be, and with a large number of thresher sharks in tow, we can no longer withstand the intensity of fleet combat.

Admiral Kramer's instructions to my detachment were to immediately escort the enemy to jump away as soon as they found any traces of the enemy ships, and that the Wanwang and the frigates should block the enemy's attacking artillery fire as much as possible before the thresher shark group all jumped away.

For this reason, I have just arrived, and the burden on my shoulders is extremely heavy.

Regardless of which transport ships to transport supplies and supplies, just the spaceships that transport hibernation capsules, each of which carries more than 200,000 hibernation capsules, once something goes wrong, 200,000 people will die, even the most seasoned warriors can't accept the fact that 200,000 people died in front of them in an instant.

Out of the Earth's synchronous orbit, the battlefield timing is reset to zero.

It's 15 hours and 23 minutes on the battlefield. On the wide-area monitor, it gradually expands from a small blurry dot to an innumerable cluster of artificial light spots. Afraid of what comes. This direction is already the most difficult to encounter enemy ship groups in the forecast, but I didn't expect to encounter it.

While asking the intelligence department to identify the types of enemy ships and the structure of the ships, I contacted General Kramer through liaison boats and electromagnetic broadcasts, and asked him to reinforce us as soon as possible.

At the same time, the Wanwang was ready for battle, and the rapid artillery array was ready to be activated at any time. We took the lead and rushed towards the group of lights.

Jasmine: "Don't worry about the port side, the Youth is here, no enemy ships will break through here." ”

Kiana: "The Karian is in charge of the right flank position, and we are a more reliable wingman than the Youth. ”

The destroyer Ruida is already on standby in the belly of the Manwang. It is the best partner to protect against attacks by small enemy ships as well as combat boats.

Wei Leili: "Sir, the enemy ship group is moving strangely, and their formation is not very tight, and I seriously doubt the identity of the other party. ”

Zach: "The intelligence services are already investigating the other side's ship type. ”

Maxim: "It takes two hours for the transport group to prepare for the jump, and we can't hold it that long. ”

Me: "There is no need to hold on, we just need to attract the attention of the enemy ships, and as for the fate of the transport ships, God cares about it, and the ones that can escape are one by one." ”

Intelligence non-commissioned officer: "The unidentified ship group has changed course and is expected to meet our ship ** in 15 minutes." ”

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. If it's a friendly army on the other side, why don't you want to rush over like this?

Even if the Intelligence Department did not confirm the identity of the enemy fleet, we had already given up the last chance mentality. Thresher shark ships began to evacuate. A large number of anti-jamming devices were dispersed.

I tried to disperse the thresher ships in the hibernation chamber to various positions in the group to prevent the loss of too many manned ships at one time.

Decoy shells and jamming devices were arranged on a limited basis, and a large number of fixed-position defensive batteries and disturbing devices were urgently deployed. It's impossible to set everything up in 15 minutes, we just have to do our best.

Intelligence Non-Commissioned Officer: "Sir! It's unbelievable, oh my! It turned out to be them! ”

Maxim: "To the point! ”

Intelligence non-commissioned officer: "It's not an enemy ship group on the other side, it's our own people, a group of ships that have been assigned to protect the senior officers." ”

Surprise spread inside the bridge, and the tension suddenly relaxed. That's when I noticed that I was laughing meaninglessly.

I didn't have to storm the enemy ship group with a large number of transport ships, even if I was ready to sacrifice, I was relieved.

I am not relenting for my own survival, but for the sake of not having millions of casualties.

Me: "Hehe, you're really gasping for breath from the Ministry of Intelligence!" Order the ships of the group, contact the combat state, and prepare for the ...... of friendly ship groups"

Wei Leili: "No, the combat state cannot be lifted, and the transport ship continues to prepare for the jump. Their formation is too abnormal, and it is not at all the formation posture that should be in the face of friendly forces. ”

Only then did I notice that as a group of friendly ships, the other party's state was really abnormal, and until now, the lack of any contact was suspicious.

Maxim: "Could it be that they have just confirmed our identity and have not had time to adjust the formation?" ”

Wei Leili: "Impossible, how can a professional combat ship group, especially a group of ships at the level of the main fleet, not have a professional reconnaissance ship, they should have discovered us a long time ago." It's so abnormal, I have a bad premonition. ”

Me: "Send a communication communication to the opposing ship group, ask them to change formation, and then rush in like this, which may cause a physical collision accident." ”

As the communication request is sent, there is only anxious waiting. Verelli then recounted several of his concerns. Although they were facing friendly fleets, it could not be ruled out that they were being pursued by the main force of the unmanned fleet. In that case, we could face an attack by the main forces of the unmanned fleet that will arrive immediately. Before that, the transport ship group must be transferred.

Of course, there is no relaxation, and as a friendly fleet, it is sure that it will be able to receive our communications, why don't they change their formation and give a response?

As the group of lights kept getting closer, I realized that I had been happy too soon.

In the past, I was a history major, and I knew some of the things that had happened in human history. In war, especially in the presence of routs, they are far more harmful than the real enemy.

It will be a nightmare experience for those who are unfortunate enough to be defeated.

I realized that it was not friendly forces that were swarming in front of us, and their identity should be called a rout.
