Forty destroyers quickly gathered around the JS, and Fang Jingquan gave them an unbelievable order: "Bombard the JS ship's surface, except for avoiding important parts such as batteries, attack other areas at will." ”

At the same time, SH told JS in a light message: "Turn off the shields and let all the marines outside the battery withdraw to the interior of the ship." ”

At this time, whether it is the JS or the destroyer, they are stunned by these two orders, isn't this tantamount to letting their own people kill each other? Was Commander Fang already frightened by the power of the phage praying mantis before issuing this command?

In this regard, Fang Jingquan did not give any explanation, the enemy was current, how could he have time to explain the reason to them in detail, so he could only use the lamp language again and again to urge them to carry out the order.

There was no way, neither JS nor the destroyer wanted to be court-martial for refusing to obey orders, so both sides had to bite the bullet, one completely removed the shield, and the other increased its horsepower and began to make a circle around the JS.

The moment the shield was lifted, the phage mantis frantically landed on the surface of the hull, although their shells had sharp limbs, but the length of the limbs was far from the thickness of the battleship's armor, even if they could easily pierce into the battleship's armor with the advantage of speed, but they could not inject the mantis into the battleship's interior, and the position where the mantis came out was still the surface of the hull.

The destroyer fleet followed, and under the control of the microbrains of each ship, the destroyers kept circling around the JS, and the main guns bombarded every vacant area of the battleship with precision.

For a moment, the fierce main gun fire devoured the phage mantis raging on the surface of the battleship, and the beam broke their slender bodies and tore through their hard protective shells, while the armor-piercing degree of the destroyer's main gun could not cause any damage to the battleship, and this level of beam was simply tickling in front of the battleship's thick armor.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the phage mantis was useless just staring at the battleship attack, and it had to cut off the limbs of the battleship first, that is, these destroyer fleets that protected the battleships.

The praying mantis turned their spearheads and began to attack the destroyer fleet that circled the battleship.

Fang Jingquan had expected this, and countless reconnaissance ships pounced on it to help the destroyer clean up the praying mantis that had fallen on the surface and had been separated from the protection of the shell, but this still didn't play a big role, after all, the armor of the destroyer was far less thick than that of the battleship, and many praying mantis directly pierced the destroyer's outer armor and injected the mantis into the inside of the battleship. This is also a point that Fang Jingquan completely ignored, due to the underestimation of the phage mantis's armor-piercing ability, which led to a series of disasters later.

The mantis that gets inside is a lot trickier, and they're just as good as the 20th-century alien movies, if not better. They wreak havoc inside the ship, and as the most stealthy and skilled killers, they can burst out of any unexpected place and split the crew in two; As the most curious and destructive creatures, their forelimbs can cut through any line on the ship, causing great damage to the entire ship, but the Marines need to take care of some important points in the ship and cannot shoot these mantis scurrying around.

In this way, the speed of the destroyer's loss greatly exceeded Fang Jingquan's expectations, in less than ten minutes, the destroyer had already lost more than half, and unlike the crushing damage caused by the shock bug, even if these destroyers were completely destroyed by the praying mantis, they were still floating in the air intact, and even the battleships with their engines not broken would still float around uncontrollably.

In order to prevent the runaway destroyers from causing secondary damage, Fang Jingquan could only order the cruisers to use their main guns to destroy these destroyers, and at the same time order the remaining destroyers and the battleship JS to withdraw into the formation. The fleet, under the cover of three Sun-class battleships, struggled to retreat into the shield of the ring of star-system defenses.

But such a withdrawal basically declared the fleet's first attempt to break through the siege a failure.

Kangxi Liang frowned and looked at the counterattack fleet retreating backwards with a telescope in the billowing smoke, and slammed his right hand on the railing: "Yingzheng, let Fang Jingquan come back, you can't let him rush like this." ”

During the time when Fang Jingquan rushed back to Montana, Kangxi Liang asked Ying Zheng to put the data about the bacteriophage mantis transmitted by the counterattack fleet on the star map.

"Good guy, the evolution ability of bugs is too terrifying." Kangxi Liang took the black tea from the guards and took a sip slightly, but his eyes never left the phage mantis model presented on the astrolabe.

"General, it is difficult for our defensive laser cannons to be effective against these praying mantises, and our defense line is basically laser cannons, and the number of high-power beam cannons that can pose a threat to praying mantis is not enough." Ying Zheng said in frustration that his system had already calculated that relying on the existing defense capability alone, if he held on for another four to five hours at most, the entire defense line would collapse on the entire line, which was far from the more than ten hours ordered by Kangxi Liang.

"Chief, this is simply impossible to fight, the reconnaissance ship force used by our air defense is simply unable to inflict substantial damage on those praying mantises, and the loss of destroyers and reconnaissance ships is as high as fifty percent! Damn, fifty percent! As soon as Fang Jingquan teleported to the Montana, he gritted his teeth and cursed hatefully.

Kangxi Liang didn't answer, just put his hand on the edge of the astrolabe, constantly circling around the astrolabe.

"Oh, my chief, come up with an idea, what's the use of just circling the astrolabe there?" Fang Jingquan anxiously pressed Kangxi Liang, and his hands unconsciously pressed his shoulders.

"Don't push so hard, my arms are made of flesh, not stone!" Kangxi Liang shivered in pain, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Fang Jingquan with wide eyes, "By the way, I said, are those insects afraid of our antimatter shield?" ”

"yes, what's wrong? Do you want to use your shield as an offensive weapon? Fang Jingquan said angrily.

"What, you think, don't we have ...... A lot of electromagnetic railguns in stock? In the military stockpiles of the Sengermann system, it should be possible to find quite a few antimatter warheads. We modified these warheads a little, and divided the smaller ones into large-caliber shells, so that these shells became a kind of submunitions in disguise, so that we could deal a fatal blow to those praying mantises. I'd like to see if these praying mantis can survive in space without their shells! ”

Kangxi Liang slammed the black tea cup on the astrolabe: "I think, this wave of praying mantis is indeed quite fierce, but even at the production speed of insects, it is absolutely impossible to produce a large number of praying mantis in a short time, I estimate, I am afraid that all the praying mantis of insects have been put into our battlefield, as long as we solve this wave of praying mantises, it should not be a problem to hold the galaxy, or at the very least, it can also reduce the pressure on other galaxies as much as possible." ”

"However, when our fleet came out, it was basically beam guns, and the transport ships loaded with electromagnetic railguns suffered serious losses." Fang Jingquan was still not at ease.

"It's okay, we don't need to install electromagnetic railguns on all warships, we just need to pick out a few cruisers in each provincial fleet and install them, after all, the main strength of bugs is still scorpions and ordinary Eritan." Kangxi Liang uploaded the idea in his mind to the astrolabe, "Ying Zheng, simulate the feasibility of this method." ”

"Result: Feasible, but our casualties are still far higher than those of the Bug Army, which only has a scorpion swarm and ordinary Eritan."

"There's nothing you can do, as long as you can hold on a little longer, you will have the opportunity to wait for reinforcements," Kangxi Liang sighed heavily, "I hope that the General Headquarters can still draw enough fleets to form reinforcements, otherwise we will have to explain here sooner or later." ”

"Chief, I don't think so, we brought so many fleets out this time, I'm afraid that the O League and we won't be able to draw extra fleets to reinforce, right? It is difficult for the two fleets of country E and country M to gather enough troops in a short period of time. Fang Jingquan shook his head, expressing his complete dishope for reinforcements.

"If you want to assemble, if they just let the scattered reinforcement fleet reach a galaxy through the wormhole, but I'm afraid that the insects will not only attack us, but also drag their fleet, so that no matter how many troops we have, we will only be caged beasts after all, and we can't jump out." Could it be that we have to rely on the LHG bunch of waste to save us? Kangxi Liang rubbed his sore temples and sat down on the captain's chair tiredly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, Yingzheng, how long will it take for all our electromagnetic railguns to be replaced."

"This situation is not bad, our engineering ship is still well preserved, and it is estimated that the refitting time will only take half an hour." The little blue man replied.

"Half an hour? Old Fang, can your current counterattack fleet hold off the bugs for half an hour? Kangxi Liang looked at Fang Jingquan who was standing on the side.

"It's enough, chief, but I'll try my best." Fang Jingquan straightened up his crumpled clothes and connected the microbrain to the teleporter.

Kangxi Liang stared blankly at the disappearance of the teleported photon: "Ying Zheng, transfer the ZJ fleet to reinforce the counterattack fleet, you can't let Fang Jingquan take these three fleets with almost no escort troops to counterattack." ”

"But general, what about our southwestern defense line?"

"As long as the counterattack fleet can hold back the attack of the bugs, our other defense areas don't have to worry, if the counterattack fleet fails, even if the ZJ fleet is in the southwest position, it will not be able to prevent the collapse of the defense line." Kangxi Liang stood up and looked at the edge of the galaxy far away, where the "starlight" was flickering, and the counterattack fleet was about to start the second wave of attacks.

As soon as Kangxi Liang's order to transfer was given, Fang Jingquan received the news that the ZJ fleet was about to arrive.

However, the engines of the fleet did not stop because of this, and Fang Jingquan's order was: no matter whether the ZJ fleet arrived or not, his fleet would immediately launch a counterattack, otherwise, once the bugs eased up and found a breakthrough, the entire defense line would collapse. While the bugs are still testing the affordability of the defense circle, go out immediately to disrupt the bugs' positions and buy time for the fleet to change clothes!
