046 Second Asteroid Belt War VIII
Solar System Asteroid Belt, Area 016.
When the last Oaks Empire ship was sunk, the entire void was covered with the wreckage of the battleship.
Until the last moment, none of the battleships in the fleet of the Oaks Empire gave a surrender signal, so Lin Fan also had to sigh at the tenacity of his will to fight!
Throughout the battle, the main force of the Fourth Fleet lost a total of 3,800 ships in the first few hours, and 500 ships in the later flanking of the Cody fleet.
Lin Fan's 101st fleet lost 27 warships when intercepting Duolun in the early 027 area, and 31 warships when it attacked the Cody fleet in the later stage.
Finally, there were the other reinforcements, which only lightly damaged a few ships in the 027 area in the early stage, and lost a total of 528 ships when they flanked the Cody fleet in the later stage
After calculation, the battle losses of the entire Fourth Fleet were 4,886 warships and 3,617 mechas, and as for the loss of personnel, it was impossible to accurately calculate it until the battlefield was cleaned.
As for the fleet loss of the Oaks Empire, it was 30,000 warships, plus the Nine Emperors of Doron.
"Lin Fan, you're doing a good job, but there's still a big problem waiting for us ahead!"
"I understand, Addams' follow-up fleet!"
"Well, that's right, it is expected that there will be 90,000 warships, and now there are less than 15,000 warships on our side that can still maintain combat effectiveness, and the situation is still not optimistic!"
"Commander, how did they get through the asteroid belt without us detecting it, do you figure it out?"
"Your father has captured key members of the Scott family, who have managed to take control of some of the probes within our asteroid belt and send us false information."
"What is the reason for Scott to do this? I don't see any good. ”
"It all started many years ago, when Wood was the captain of a battlecruiser on the Second Fleet, and when the Proxima Centauri line was defeated, he was ordered to join the broken fleet to cover the evacuation of the remaining 2,000 or so warships.
Seven years ago, when everyone thought he had died next door, the battle cruiser he commanded returned to the solar system through the path of the stars, of course, when he returned, none of the battle cruisers were intact, and they could only barely sail, plus he carefully depicted the storyline of how to fight and get off the line, no one doubted.
Now that I think about it, at that time, he and his crew should have been captured, and then deliberately put back as an internal response, and now this part of the crew, whether it was on Earth or in the Mars base, has all been controlled.
As for the Scotts, your father has confirmed that they didn't know about it, but that Wood had taken advantage of his master's lust for power and did it without his knowledge. ”
"I see, so we can now know the route of Adams' follow-up fleet?"
"That's right, look!"
Liang Xingchen directly sent Lin Fan a star map of the asteroid, with a twisted red line drawn in the middle.
"Commander, then our best way is to go deep into the asteroid and find a suitable point on this route to ambush!"
"That's right, that's what I think, the key is which point to choose, and how to ambush it? You must know that Adams was ambushed by me once 7 years ago, and now he must be very careful to enter, and it is not so easy to catch his flaws! ”
"Commander, do you remember the trick I used to simulate a war with you at my graduation ceremony?"
"You mean?"
"Yes, but we can be flexible, we just have to... And then..."
Three minutes later, Liang Xingchen's eyes widened.
He was also quite shocked by the tactics Lin Fan said, if he succeeded, it would definitely be the most classic tactic in human history.
"Okay, according to the tactics you said, the reinforcement fleet is still under your command for the time being, responsible for the left flank of the fleet!"
"Yes!"
Then, after discussing some details again, the two ended the communication and began to prepare according to the plan.
An hour later, after cleaning the battlefield, recovering a large number of escape compartments, and collecting many of the remains that could still be found, the remaining 14,000 or so battleships of the Fourth Fleet that were still in good combat force set off towards the depths of the asteroid belt.
In addition to 6.2AU, the follow-up fleet of 90,000 warships of the Oaks Empire is traveling in the asteroid belt.
At this moment, Adams has mixed feelings.
Just over an hour earlier, he had received a farewell message from Cody, informing him that Prince Doren was dead and that the Vanguard fleet was about to be wiped out.
What was supposed to be a foolproof brilliant plan has gone awry, especially with the death of Doron, which means that the entire Praetorian Third Legion may have to be buried together.
The soldiers of the Oaks Empire are very proud, and if you let them die on the battlefield, there is absolutely no second word, just like Kody's vanguard fleet, no one will surrender until the last person fights.
But if they knew that they were about to be executed by the emperor in general, instead of being honorably killed on the battlefield, the nature would be completely different, and a mutiny would most likely occur.
The only way is to defeat Liang Xingchen's Fourth Fleet, and then take down the entire human race, and with such merit, perhaps he can intercede with His Majesty, execute only himself, and pardon the rest of the Praetorian Third Legion.
Therefore, Adams did not tell the news of Doron's death to the others, he knew very well that once the news spread, let alone the battle below, even if the fleet did not mutiny, the morale would definitely drop to freezing point.
Oakes' fleet continued to follow the established route, and the Federation's Fourth Fleet also entered the depths of the asteroid belt, and the entire asteroid belt was unusually quiet.
It wasn't until the third day that the two sides finally met.
"Commander Adams, a human fleet has been found ahead, numbering about 15,000 ships!"
"Huh?"
Adams touched his chin with an incredible expression on his face!
Cody did say in his final report that about 5,000 warships of the human race were sunk, and the remaining warships should be about 15,000, but the question is what Liang Xingchen is going to do?
Fight my 90,000 warships head-on with the last of your strength? He shouldn't be this kind of self-defeating person, right? ”
Or is it just a coincidental encounter between the two sides?
Over the years, Adams has also obtained a lot of human intelligence from Wood.
In the great battle in the asteroid belt 7 years ago, although Liang Xingchen's ambush caused Adams to lose 80,000 warships, the Federation fleet itself lost a lot of money, and only 12,000 warships remained in the Fourth Fleet after the war.
And in the past 7 years, because mankind has been locked in the asteroid belt, resources are limited, and it is impossible to build warships on a large scale.
Therefore, it took 7 years to restore the establishment of the Fourth Fleet, and there were not many superfluous warships.
No matter how you look at it, the opposite side should be the last fleet of mankind, and this situation can only be explained by coincidence, it seems that humanity is doomed.
"Order the fleet to move forward and directly crush the last resistance of humanity!"
"Yes, Commander Adams!"
