The flames of war suddenly burned the entire N77 theater, and the various legions of the Federation poured out of their nests, looking for and catching traces of the Ninth Fleet everywhere. It's just that the star field is too vast, and in the huge war zone, the human starships may not have as many planets. Most of the time is spent in boring and long searching and chasing.

One of the two mobile bases of the Ninth Fleet was finally discovered by the Federation, and the two sides fought fiercely around the galaxy for several days, extending thousands of light seconds before and after the battlefield, and finally because the disparity in forces was too great, the capital ship that accompanied the mobile base operation was seriously damaged, and had to jump urgently with the mobile base and leave the war zone.

And the mobile fleet they left behind to contain the Federation fleet was completely wiped out.

The mobile base is in slightly better condition and is not surrounded, but its whereabouts have been revealed. Contrary to her companions' strategy, Apple sends out all of her mobile forces to either drive out or strangle the Federation fleets that are following her.

As a result, the mobile base itself is practically undefended. Lu Qiyun has been keeping the base moving at high speed, relying only on the firepower of the base itself to defend against possible Federation starships.

Perhaps thanks to Lin Xi's departure, the base saved the supplies that belonged to her. Moving at high speeds is very energy-intensive, and the base has very little energy in reserve.

And Lin Xi not only left by himself, but also pulled away several starships. Later, news came that Lin Xi and her fleet had found additional supplies, which were said to be quite sufficient. In the past month, Lin Xi also found an excuse to send two destroyers back to the base, and brought back hundreds of fully loaded energy capsules.

This matter was suppressed by Lu Qiyun, and only a few people knew about it. Without this energy, it is difficult to say whether Apple would be able to support its current mobility.

At present, Lu Qiyun has even sent the capital ship out to fight independently, which is already a desperate gamble. He just wants to stall for time, disrupt the Federation's deployment, and then move the mobile base to a corner that no one knows, and start a new round of guerrilla warfare.

So far, Lu Qiyun has held on for more time than everyone expected, and no one can say anything even if he is forced to retreat. It's just that although Lu Qiyun's marching and fighting are not so amazing, his toughness is beyond the ordinary, and he has made up his mind to hold on until the last moment. As long as the battle is still being fought, miracles are possible.

Lu Qiyun used all his main forces to attack the Federation's high-speed mobile forces, hoping that the opponent's mobile forces were insufficient and could not lay a serious enough encirclement.

But not everyone agreed with him, and at the moment in the command room of the base, several generals were arguing, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Lu Qiyun sat in the center, smoking cigarettes one after another. This kind of all-natural tobacco is very rare, and it is only a hobby of a very small number of people. The lieutenant general's eyes were sunken, and the man had already lost a lot of weight. He supported his face with one hand, and his broad palm covered most of his face, making it impossible to see through his expression.

One of the major general's eyes was bloodshot, and he apparently didn't know how long he hadn't slept in time. He was agitated, and was shaking his fists, and said loudly: "This is a gamble! The other side has four times the strength of our army, and another mobile base has retreated, and the troops pursuing them will soon be mobilized to hunt us." It is impossible for us alone to withstand so many enemies!"

"And what do you mean?" asked another general.

The major general paused, his voice was a little low, and said, "Gather your troops and ...... at once Caper. ”

It was very difficult to say this, and the major general seemed to have lost a lot of strength after saying it, and leaned back in his chair.

There was a sudden silence in the command room, and only after a moment did one of the generals say, "If we jump now, we will leave Colonel Lin and her men here." Without us, the Federation will hunt them with all their might, so I don't need to tell you the rest, right?"

"The Colonel chose to leave the base on her own and now loses contact, and this responsibility should also be borne by herself. If it was in normal times, it would be nothing, but now that the situation is so urgent, if we don't keep her, will we let the entire base, one capital ship, three heavy cruisers, and more than 20 other starships bury her? It's not that it doesn't have to, but it certainly can't be changed!" The major general still insisted on his opinion, and his words silenced some people who wanted to speak again.

At this time, Lu Qiyun finally spoke, and asked a person who surprised everyone, "General Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Zhannian's face was gloomy, his eyes were blank, and he always looked like he couldn't wake up. Lu Qiyun's question, and the faces of many generals were a little unpleasant. Everyone present knew very well why Lin Xi would leave the base and act alone, and the lieutenant general asked Xu Zhannian, does it need to be said about the intention?

Xu Zhannian didn't seem to expect to ask himself, he finally got a little angry, coughed a few times, and said slowly in a slow voice that made people want to punch over: "Colonel Lin Xi broke away from the establishment sequence without permission, did not listen to the command, and looted military supplies, which has constituted treason according to military law......"

A general snorted heavily and looked at Xu Zhannian with an unkind gaze.

Xu Zhannian ignored the many murderous stares around him, and continued: "However, Colonel Lin has not been convicted by a military court for a day, and she is still a member of the Ninth Fleet for a day. Our tradition does not seem to include the abandonment of our comrades. ”

This turn of events came a little suddenly, and the generals all looked at Xu Zhannian in disbelief. Xu Zhannian added slowly, "To be precise, what I mean is that we must at least contact Colonel Lin Xi and provide a feasible convergence or evacuation plan before we can leave." ”

Lu Qiyun said at this time: "Okay, everyone wants to say almost everything. How many high-speed mobile forces does the enemy still have? Is there any latest information?"

The intelligence chief said: "According to current statistics, the enemy's high-speed mobile forces in the theater include 11 heavy patrols, 85 destroyers, and several frigates. The minimum number required to form a perfect reconnaissance and encirclement network for us is 8 heavy cruisers and 72 destroyers. Considering that some important bases need to be garrisoned and temporarily supported, the enemy should now be able to use 9 heavy patrol ships. ”

"9 ships......" Lu Qiyun's eyebrows tightened tighter and tighter.

The chief of staff next to him knew what he was worried about and said, "If I were an opponent, I wouldn't have sent all the heavy patrols to besiege our capital ships." We are not dealing with a federal force, but a family legion that is semi-private. Besieging the capital ships will inevitably lead to losses, so the question is, whose losses will it be? A heavy cruiser is not something that any family can ignore it. ”

Lu Qiyun's face looked a little better, and at this moment, the virtual screen in front of him suddenly flickered, and an urgent message appeared.

The intelligence chief also received the information, opened it, and lost his voice: "The 3rd Mobile Fleet of the enemy's theater of operations has lost contact?"
