Chapter 107: The Catastrophe Ten Years Ago (3)

"Today, the Federation Fleet is officially dispatched, as the main attack force, the Z country fleet and the O alliance fleet will carry out a large-scale attack on the middle ground of the two fleets, this is the largest battle of our Federation since the unification of the earth civilization, our army will sweep away the bug troops, consolidate the forward position of our army. And the famous shuttle, Major General Xie Si, will directly command this military operation as the commander of the operation......"

Xie Si turned off the news with a "snap", looked at the staff officer beside him with displeasure and said, "Who stabbed the reporter with this military operation?" ”

"It seems that the speaker said that it was to let the people know that this military operation can greatly boost the morale of the army."

"What nonsense!" Xie Si slapped the table hard, "Can the people know about this kind of thing?" Speaker, doesn't he know that those parents now send soldiers to the battlefield with snot and tears? Let these people make such a fuss, are the soldiers still in the mood to fight? ”

"General, it's useless to talk about this now, the people have begun to go to the space station one after another to say goodbye." The staff officer said helplessly.

"Tell the gendarmerie that no soldier is allowed to leave the barracks before the operation begins, and let them watch the stations from afar, so that they don't have to cry like they're going to die." After Xie Si said this, he snorted coldly and went out.

As the march of the Federation warships resounded in the various military ports and warships, several red incendiary bombs rose from Xie Si's flagship GS (Gansu) Sun-class battleship, and the intense light illuminated the faces of every parent lying on the porthole, struggling to find their children.

"Look, Tianshui, my grandson is serving on that cruiser."

"Old man, your grandson is lucky, the battle damage rate of the cruiser is much lower than that of the destroyer reconnaissance ship."

The old man's words immediately attracted the envious eyes of the surrounding people.

"Yes, my grandson is lucky, he served on the Yongdeng for two years and didn't encounter any major battles, so he was fortunate enough to serve on the Tianshui. When he comes back this time, he will almost be able to go to the GS, and it just so happens that my grandson is coming back and is getting married, so I am waiting for double happiness! The old man said proudly.

"Old man, if your grandson is so lucky, I believe that he will be able to return safely this time."

"Okay, well, when my grandson returns victoriously, I will invite everyone to eat and drink!"

Unlike the relaxed and cheerful old man here, there are more parents next to him who are tearfully watching the fleet slowly leaving the port, most of these people's children are serving on the destroyer, there is no doubt that looking at the general route of this operation, the survival rate of the destroyer is estimated to be very low.

Xie Si stood on the bridge, looking out the window with frowning eyes.

His ship, the GS, as the flagship of the GS fleet, was the first to leave the starport, followed by other warships of various types, forming a conical formation and sailing forward.

Although this kind of formation is also a commonly used sailing formation of the fleet, but it is more of a show for the people, this kind of cone formation is actually a derivative of the 21st century air force elephant walking, in the three-dimensional space without dead ends, this three-dimensional display of the array can give people a visual impact, and the confidence brought to the people is also incomparable to news and propaganda.

Xie Si looked at the fleet following the ship with some disgust, like the big tail of the GS, if it wasn't for the show of catering to the speaker, he would never have adopted this marching formation, because although this formation is commonly used, it is only used in open areas, and all kinds of spaceships and buildings near the earth are not uncommon, and this kind of formation with great space requirements is not suitable for use at all.

But now, it's useless to complain, just lead the fleet out with peace of mind.

The first front army was commanded by Admiral Kangxi Liang, deputy commander of the Z country fleet, and Rear Admiral Xie Si was the deputy commander and commander of the GS provincial fleet, with a total of as many as thirteen provincial fleets, advancing in four directions. All fleets have only one goal, a system called Abundant Fire at the center, where they will rendezvous with the Allied O fleet to complete the encirclement of the possible remaining bugs in the middle ground.

The Second Front was under the direct leadership of Field Marshal Taylor, commander of the O Allied fleet, with a total of ten provincial fleets, which also advanced towards the Abundance Mars system in four directions.

The Third Front Army was led by General Lei Zhenhua, the former chief of staff of the Z country fleet, who was temporarily transferred, with a total of four provincial fleets. The Third Front is a mixture of two additional provincial fleets from ELS and M, respectively, and is used as the general reserve for operations.

At the same time, a large number of galactic defense vacancies caused by the large-scale deployment of fleets were garrisoned by the LHG fleet, which was low in combat effectiveness and old in armament, which was also one of the Speaker's plans - to use the time of the two fleets' defense vacancies to insert their forces into the original two fleets' garrisons.

However, the ELS fleet and the M fleet were not watching from the sidelines, as the deputy commander of the ELS fleet, Georgi skipped the General Staff and directly called three provincial fleets, preparing to launch an attack on the Bug defense line in front of his own garrison at the same time as the operation began.

"Chief, the fleet is about to sail into the bug-controlled area, our communication system may be disrupted to a considerable extent, if there is an emergency, I will let the reconnaissance ship pass through the wormhole to transmit information."

This was the last sentence that Rear Admiral Xie Si said when he entered the bug-controlled area, and after getting the consent of Admiral Kangxi Liang, the GS fleet immediately officially embarked on the journey.

As a follow-up force and reserve, the QH fleet is a close second, a light-year away from Xie Si, and if the front-line offensive is blocked, the QH fleet is the most friendly force that the GS fleet can rely on.

At first, the GS fleet was overwhelmed, easily leveling the remnants of the two galaxies and breaking a large nest into a pile of minced flesh.

After laying down the two galaxies, the GS and QH fleets did not let go and chose to move on, while the follow-up S (Shan) X and S (Shaanxi) X fleets stopped and were stationed in these two systems.

In just two days, the GS fleet has advanced the battle line to a place only half a light-year away from the abundant Martian system, and the fleet has basically received little resistance except for a ferocious counterattack by insects in the last half day.

"Commander, a third of the destroyers of the fleet are damaged, and five of them are seriously injured and need to be returned to the dock for repairs." The Chief of Staff of the GS Fleet sorted out the damage to the fleet and sent the report to the microbrain of Xie Si.

"Isn't the Y fleet still in touch?" Xie Si didn't even glance at the report, he directly threw the report aside, and said with a frown.

"Not yet, the only one who can maintain normal contact with us now is the QH fleet behind our army. Commander, shouldn't we stop and wait for the fleet of country Y? The chief of staff asked tentatively.

"No, if the fleet of country Y has already arrived at the Harvest Martian system, but because of our stoppage, the entire operation fails, then our responsibility will be great." Xie Si shook his head, "In this way, you send a reconnaissance ship back to tell General Kangxi Liang, and ask him to quickly adjust the two fleets of AH and JS to come to support, and also, urge Country Y...... No, let him urge the fleets of all routes, how can they move so slowly, didn't he say that they should meet at this place at the same time today? ”

"Yes!"

Xie Si and the other chief of staff walked out of the office, he buried his head in the palm of his hand, although there was no high-intensity combat in the past two days, but the pressure on people was unimaginable, he had not rested much since he set out on the expedition. Even if you have gone through some so-called actual combat training in a military school, anyone will have a sense of powerlessness on the battlefield where a mistake can really cost their lives.

"General, your pressure is too great, I suggest injecting you with some soothing potions and lying on the bed to recuperate. You can't fight when you're tired. The blue villain appeared in the corner of the table and said worriedly, "When I sent Wei Qinghuo to the Xiongnu expedition, I wasn't as nervous as you. ”

"It's different, Liu Che." Xie Si stood up, took out a bottle containing refreshing spices, and took a deep sip, "I'm going behind enemy lines myself, and if I'm not careful, I may be wiped out, how do you tell me to relax in this environment?" ”

"But ......"

"General, something is wrong." Before Liu Che's words were finished, the chief of staff rushed into the office.

"What's wrong? So flustered? ”

“Q…… The QH fleet is out of touch with us. ”

"What?!" Xie Si stood up suddenly, his wide eyes full of fear, "Have you confirmed that the system is not malfunctioning?" What about the reconnaissance ships that our two fleets have been passing back and forth? ”

"Here's the problem, the reconnaissance ship in charge of liaison has also lost contact with us."

"What?" Xie Si sat down in his chair in a dejected manner.

"General, don't worry too much, at least our reconnaissance ship responsible for communicating with headquarters has already gone back through the wormhole. In other words, the wormhole should still work for now. Seeing that Xie Si was gradually losing confidence, the chief of staff could only comfort Xie Si with a news that was not good news. The young man in front of him was still too immature to continue commanding calmly like a seasoned commander in the face of an unexpected situation.

Xie Si's eyes regained a little anger, and he nodded very slightly in response.

"So, General, shall we send a few warships to the position of the QH fleet to take a look?" The Chief of Staff sighed, now is the time not to expect Xie Si to command rationally, but this is also the time when he, the Chief of Staff, needs to take responsibility.

"Okay, you let Colonel Zhao Yuantian bring a city-level fleet over to have a look, and our main force will continue to advance towards the Feng Martian system." Xie Si said weakly, of course he understood what the sudden loss of contact with the fleet might be, but he still retained a glimmer of hope - in the rear of this enemy army, the only thing that could be encountered was the other friendly fleets that were also advancing towards the Feng Martian system, and if the GS fleet could reach the Feng Martian system, maybe there would be a glimmer of life.
