Chapter 686: Attacking Rank
"Enemy Attack ......"
When this word flashed in the mind of Vice Admiral Mongo, the commander of the Ranke Surprise Attack Fleet, he immediately ordered: "The fleet turns around, the main guns are charged, and they are ready for battle!" ”
Judging from the screen, the enemy's warships are densely connected into a large starry sky, and his years of space military career have allowed him to know that there are about 200 capital warships without computer reports, and there are no destroyers, patrol ships, cruisers and battleships.
Although the Duchy of Ranke has received a large number of support from a certain giant family in the Silvermoon Empire, and the current number of capital warships has reached 2,000, but the ability to dispatch 75 capital ships in this operation is already the limit, and most of the warships are fighting against the Nok Merchant Alliance, the Orion Alliance, and some small countries, and the rest are to stay on guard in the capital star circle.
"Could it be that there are also mysterious forces supporting the Chinese?"
A thought flashed through Lieutenant General Menggo's mind, and it was just right for the Ranke high-level to refer to the people of this Chinese empire as Chinese.
As a high-ranking general of the Ranke military, Mungo instantly recalled the materials of the Chinese.
The cause of the incident was the discovery of the Lost Star Field, and then the Ranks' military attempted to occupy this unknown small star field, but a fierce conflict broke out with the indigenous civilizations, and then successive skirmishes lasted for five or six years.
"Although this civilization has always been a small fight, the number of capital warships we have lost in battles over the years has actually reached more than 150, this, how is this possible."
Seeing the figures given by Zhi Brain, Meng Ge was suddenly stupid, the other party actually snowballed and ate so many warships of the Ranke military, if the 75 ships were eaten again this time, it would be a record of 200 ships.
This number is terrible, Ranke fought with the Orion Alliance, and only lost more than five hundred main warships in the past five or six years, and in these years he has actually lost so many warships in the refueling tactics with the Chinese.
The battles between Ranke and the Orion Alliance were all large-scale battles, and only then did they lose so much, and the piecemeal fighting with the Chinese actually lost 150 ships.
"It seems that the problem is that we have been underestimating them, so that we have been eaten by our opponents again and again."
Vice Admiral Mungo has no time to reflect, in a few years, the Chinese actually have more than two hundred capital warships, you know, in the previous assessment, this country will not exceed 100 capital warships in total.
Now he understands that all this is a conspiracy of the other side.
First, he dragged down the small fleet of the Ranks army and engaged in guerrilla warfare, and then released a deterrent rhetoric, claiming that anyone who dared to attack on a large scale would blow up the shipping routes.
As a result, the Ranke military was really fooled, firstly, because of internal and external troubles, and had no energy to deal with this small country, and secondly, they were afraid that in the case of insufficient strength, they would really force the other side to blow up the route but lose it, so it was better to wait for the strength to accumulate enough and break through it in one fell swoop.
Now, when he saw the opponent's fleet formation, Mungo had already foreseen that the Duchy would face another strong enemy in this territory.
Now, though, it's time to deal with the enemy.
"Report, the main gun of the second attack cluster has been charged."
Cai Yi raised his head, looked at the time, and then nodded to Sun Xiwu and Qin Baijiang, and ordered: "The first attack group aims at the middle of the enemy's ship group and shoots indiscriminately.
The second attack group changed formation, aimed at the front of the enemy ship group, and opened fire two minutes later. ”
Since it was a sneak attack, there were naturally not too many changes in formation, and the first attack group located in front of the ship group would launch an artillery attack on the battleships in the middle of the enemy's abdomen.
The two-minute firing of the second group of ships will hit the enemy's front line, so that the front and center of the enemy will be attacked, and the speed of escape will be greatly limited.
"First Attack Cluster Fire!"
With an order, the 100 or so capital battleships of the first attack group, the main guns that had already been prepared instantly lit up with a brightness comparable to several suns, among these main battleships, there were about 30 old battleships, and the remaining more than 60 capital battleships were all newly built Tianlong-class battleships and Flying Dragon-class cruisers.
The vast majority of them were Draco-class battleships, and although the Wyvern-class cruisers were less expensive and much weaker, they still maintained their high speed and the standard configuration of two main guns.
"My Lord God, more than two-thirds of the attack ships are double main gun ......"
Meng Ge's face changed greatly at this time, he was originally going to resist the first wave of attacks, and then retreat while fighting, but now his intestines are all repentant, and he lost his tail and ran all the way when he knew it.
Now it's too late, and a fight must be made.
"Boom ......"
75 capital battleships marched together, although not a dense group, but under the first wave of sneak attacks by the Chinese fleet, 15 battleships and cruisers were blown up by salvo fire without even reacting and turned into space junk.
"Speed up and escape!"
Fortunately, the main guns of the main battleships are not fixed forward, even if they flee, they can open fire, Mongo can only do his best, he can afford the loss of 15 capital battleships, but if the whole army is destroyed, then even he will not be able to escape.
Unless surrendered.
However, now surrendered, the families of those middle and high-ranking officers in the star circle of the Ranke capital will all be secretly executed.
This is the cruelty of the war, so that the Rankers did not dare to withdraw from the front line.
The violent explosion did not deter these Ranke soldiers, the harshness of military law and the cruelty of war made them have to obey orders, otherwise they would be shot on the spot, and officers at all levels even had the power to kill their subordinates on the spot.
"Speed up the retreat!"
Mongo couldn't care about fighting back, the enemy's ship group was far stronger than his own, most of the battleships were actually equipped with dual main guns, and among his battleships, the dual main guns were only equipped with some elite models that had just been obtained from the Silver Moon Empire.
Not an opponent at all.
"Hooray, hooray!!"
At this time, it was not only the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet that was partying, but also the audience in front of the TV set that was even more happy.
Just now, the Imperial fleet sailing in the picture suddenly accelerated, and as the colonel explained that the fleet's main guns were being charged, he suddenly saw a small nebula jump out of the ship group, and a large group of enemy ships appeared in front of him.
Without warning, fire was fired.
"Hit! Hit! At least a dozen Rankian enemy ships were reduced to powder. ”
On the TV, the Colonel stood up abruptly and saluted the screen.
The first round of shelling was so ferocious that the Rankers were dragged to the table of the slaughterhouse like docile little sheep, and were slaughtered without any resistance.
In the picture, the battleships that were destroyed in the background of the starry sky, the huge explosions one by one, and the excitement of the battleship explosion, made the imperial audience extremely excited.
Compared to the anger when he saw his base station destroyed by the enemy not long ago, now his heart is full of happiness, passion, and joy.
"This is war in space!"
In the new barracks, Hu Wenxuan looked excited, his fists were already shaking and trembling, after the nervous and exciting anticipation just now, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet really hit it with one blow, and beat the enemy to the ground.
This kind of excitement can be compared to the excitement of breaking through the general.
"Maybe one day, I will also lead such a powerful fleet and defeat the enemy."
Hu Wenxuan knew that in addition to martial arts, he had finally firmly established a path that he would struggle for all his life.
The battle in front was exciting, and the back was lively, but the party Meng Ge and the millions of Ranke officers and soldiers seemed to have encountered death.
"Accelerate!! Speed up the evacuation!! ”
The enemy is too powerful, three times as many as oneself, and the number of main guns is more than five times that of one's own, and such a battle is doomed to lose if it is not fought.
"Most of the enemy's warships are new-type warships, and they are still unknown models, where did this come from, could it be that the Guluo Federation gave it to them?"
Mungo felt that his brain was completely insufficient, too many things were beyond his imagination, and this Chinese empire, in the imagination of the high-ranking officials of Ranke, should be the kind of counterattack of the indigenous civilization that can bring some trouble, but not enough to shake the border.
"Many warships have reached the 3000-meter level, and judging from the appearance of the battleship, the size and firepower have reached the standard of entry-level super battleships, this, how can this be ......"
When more data came back, I saw that the hideous giant ships, with a terrifying length of 3,000 meters, were completely the physique of entry-level super battleships.
"Retreat, send an emergency telegram to the principality......"
He must immediately report the abnormal behavior of the Chinese and let the rear prepare early, otherwise the B-class life planet Laguxing, which is only more than 1 day away from the border, may fall into the clutches of the Chinese.
Run, all he can do is run.
"Report, the enemy is speeding up!"
"All the space fighters were dispatched, and the second strike ship group began to fire a salvo, and the other secondary guns used the formation as a fire unit, firing freely."
Cai Yi calmly ordered that there would be a firepower vacuum after the first and second rounds of main gun salvos, and this vacuum period would need to be made up for by secondary artillery and space fighters.
"Cai Xiang, you can contact Orion."
"Well, contact them and get them ready to respond."
A mysterious radio wave spread across the starry sky and drifted to the Orion Alliance.
This is one of the borders between the Orion Alliance and the Principality of Rank, and if you walk along this border line, you can reach the location of the Chinese Empire's expeditionary fleet by crossing the barren starry sky of the frontier of the Principality of Rank, and it is also the exit of the lost shipping route.
"Report, the Chinese began to act, they lured the enemy deep, and the sneak attack fleet of the Rankers with superior forces was losing one after another.
The Chinese commander Cai Gong asked us to fulfill our promise and at the same time launch an offensive in the border zone to meet our purchased fleet. ”
A lieutenant colonel communications officer reported to Vice Admiral Gao Long, commander of the 7th Fleet of the Orion Alliance.
"Order, the whole fleet is moving at full speed to pick up the battleships we have purchased!"
Vice Admiral Gao Long looked at the communication sent by the Chinese, and the opening picture was a group of battleships firing a salvo of twin main guns, and the fleet of the Rankers was powerless, although it was a sneak attack, but the intensity of the fire was really terrifying.
"That's the Celestial-class battleship we purchased, my God, it's too perfect, the Rankers rely on the advanced battleships of the Silver Moon Empire and think they can go sideways, hahahaha, now we have more advanced battleships, and a new round of attacks will definitely surprise them."
Vice Admiral Gao Long couldn't take it anymore and ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed.
Judging from the communications sent by the Chinese, they are going to keep their promise to attack Ranke on a large scale, although it is also to snatch the fruits of victory, but they also fulfill their promise to sell up to 150 Tenryu-class battleships to the alliance in the form of sales + loan deductions.
"Rank's end is not far off."
Gao Long looked at the Chinese fleet descending like a tiger in the picture, and suddenly felt full of confidence, and the nightmare of the Rankers had arrived.
