Chapter 84: Enlightenment VII

Hayabusa didn't really take Lick on a tour of the Federation, but took it directly to the first deck area. There is a small auditorium www.biquge.info the Pen "Fun" Pavilion, which is another area of solemn significance beyond the bridge where all the flags will be hoisted.

It is the sleeping place of many members of the Special Service Fleet. Rick certainly knows what this place is, and he understands why he is here. The two of them stood in the hall until the arrival of Li Ce, the chief of staff in a formal dress.

"Before the battle, it was not good luck to come here." As Li Ce spoke, it was Falcon and Li Ke who turned around at the same time, in exactly the same rhythm, and raised their heads and raised their hands to salute. "Hats off."

Both of them saw the command knife brought by Li Ce, a knife symbolizing the authority of the commander, and the ribbons intertwined with gold, red, white and blue fluttered. It is more ornamental than practical, but it is a symbol of authority held by commanders above the middle level of the federal military and below the Grand Admiral. It seems that the chief of staff intends to make up for the clone of Rick in this procedure that should have been carried out at the promotion ceremony.

"Colonel, congratulations on becoming commander."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." Li Ke took it solemnly with both hands and hung it on his belt, quietly relieved that he hadn't even noticed it. This may be the effect that Li Ce, the chief of staff of the fleet, wants.

After all, there is a slight difference between the combat procedures of ordinary people and the knowledge learned by clones, most of the differences are due to "human nature", and a small part is due to experience and intuition. For example, the effect of the artillery bombardment under the command of Feng Yiwu will definitely not be scientific, and no one can replicate it.

The huge starship group is leaping towards the battlefield, and everyone in the fleet is nervously preparing for the battle. Therefore, the leisurely time is always short-lived, and no one can forget that the fleet is making the last leap to the battlefield at this moment. Everyone understood that after the end of the jump, they were greeted by enemy fire. The veterans of the Secret Service Fleet always seem to be uncaring, perhaps because they have been through too many battles and have become accustomed to dancing with death.

On the bridge of the USS Federation, the crew in charge of controlling the starship appeared to be very busy. Lu Lu was alone, because he had the assistance of the entire staff and adjutants, and at the moment he still had the time to circle around his seat, of course, this time was quickly interrupted by Fang Xuan's war briefing. With a cautious face, Falcon pinched the paper and handed the printed message to Lu Lu.

"Five minutes ago, the second echelon of the Free Confederate Army entered the battlefield, and the number was ...... Eighty thousand. ”

Lu Lu actually knew the news earlier, patted the back of his head a little helplessly, and motioned to inform the whole army. When Hayabusa read the last number solemnly, the entire bridge seemed to fall silent.

If you count the enemy forces in the first echelon, the number of enemies on the battlefield has reached 140,000, and the fleets left by the Federation Navy over there are not as many as the other side.

After all, it was very difficult for the Free Alliance, which was built on the basis of mercenary legions, to achieve unified command, but contrary to what the commanders of the Federation Navy thought, the size of the Allied attack fleet was so large that it seemed that there was no disagreement between these allied forces. Both Feng Qingyin and Lu Lu believed that the Freedom Alliance Army, which had experienced a great war, would not launch a full-scale attack. As a result, the commander of the Liberal Alliance Army attacked unexpectedly and decisively, taking the Union Navy by surprise.

"Although there are too many of them, they are still a mess in terms of tactical coordination. So, I don't have a problem here for the time being. Feng Qingyin told Lu Lu in the correspondence that after entrusting the peripheral containment task to Feng Yiwu, the Grand Admiral also seemed to have found a gap in laziness. Lu Lu clearly saw that the other party shrugged his shoulders on the other side of the screen, revealing a sly smile. "The area around the intended jump point is full of enemies, so, good luck."

"Oh,. Can't clean an area out? Lu Lu complained to the person on the other side of the screen with a resentful look, but Feng Qingyin, who turned his head and ordered the adjutant to do the task, did not pay attention to the details. Lu Lu had no choice but to persuade the other party while Feng Qingyin was signing the document. "You should know that the people on my side are newbies. Super novices, novices who haven't even completed eighteen months of reserve internships. ”

"So what? If you don't arrive within five hours, just wait for the Confederates on the other side to pick up all of our bones. Feng chuckled heavily towards the back of the chair, the expression on his face was extremely relaxed.

"I know that the ammunition reserves of the fortress will last up to that time." Lu Lu frowned, his expression tangled. He was just a little unhappy with Feng Qingyin's relaxed face. Now all the pressure is transferred to Lu Lu, whether it is the time of arrival or the place of jumping, the key to the victory or defeat of this battle is all in charge of Lu Lu. Feng Qingyin, as the commander of the cluster, does not have to bear this responsibility and pressure at the moment, and the worst outcome is just to end up together. "What unscrupulous malice this is, and the scepter in your hand is weeping."

Lu Lu's gaze kept scanning the time displayed by the jump system. Feng Qingyin can also buy a minimum of five hours, which gives Lu Lu more time to prepare. But Lelu couldn't have planned in five hours. Every minute he spends means the lives of thousands of his own people.

"Chief of Staff, the situation has changed, and I want you to reformulate the plan of attack. The likelihood of a fatal blow to us has risen. Lu Lu cut the communication line and left the trouble in his hands to the staff team to deal with. Only a staff team of 1,000 people can update the battle plan in a short period of time.

In the bridge, Lu Lu's expression was calm. Even if I knew that the anxiety at the moment was meaningless, I had to become more anxious. But time is still passing at its own pace.

Feng Yiwu said she could buy three minutes. When the communication from Fang Xue was connected again, Feng Qingyin's smiling expression made Lu Lu frown.

Not to mention three minutes, even if it is only thirty seconds, it means a rare talent. Countless ideas instantly came to Lu Lu's mind, and then simulated them one by one.

No matter how much Lu Lu prepared, the fleet still had time to get out of the jump state. Lelu knew no more than how fragile a fleet could be. That moment was short and long. The switching of space comes very quickly, that is, in the blink of an eye, from the air duct into the normal cosmic space.

The location was good, and it should be said that the other two commanders on the battlefield were well controlled. Guided by the positioning signal released by the guidance ship, the position of the special service fleet appeared exactly on the flank where the Allied firepower was weakest. Lu Lu saw the location shown by the tactical radar and relaxed slightly.

"Maintain two lateral positions and pay attention to cover. Strike detachments, salvos of artillery formations. In the end, I want to live. The latter sentence, Lu Lu said very quietly, it was the sound that only a few people could hear on the entire bridge. And those who hear it are extremely clear that only by living can there be a future.

"Warning, warning. Enemy Cluster B is turning, and we will be shelled by enemy artillery in three minutes. The warnings from the early warning system aboard the USS Confederation "stood out" from thousands of reports, and dark red subtitles symbolizing danger dominated the central screen.

At this moment, the Federal Navy, located in the area of the optimal axis of the shelling, was identified as the third detachment. This combat detachment of 5,000 battleships has not yet been assembled, but the hundreds of battleships that have been merged have already changed to a defensive formation. It looked like the commander in charge of the third detachment had already made a decision, and that was the decision that every Union soldier would make on the battlefield.

"The two brigades of the fourth detachment that have completed the assembly will be placed under the provisional command of the third detachment, and the basic defense will be completed within five minutes." Lu Lu nodded coldly and signed the urgent additional mission letter submitted by the General Staff. The third detachment was not in the defensive sequence in the original plan, but the battlefield situation changed, and the enemy's priority area was the airspace where the third detachment was located, so the staff of the USS Federation immediately included it in the defensive sequence, and two brigades were transferred to increase the strength of the third detachment.

The Allies were quite skilled in the use of basic tactics, and the coordination between starships was precise and tight, thus bringing efficient combat capabilities. But this distinctive precision and efficiency is offset by a special service fleet that is also imbued with this quality. In areas where the two sides are entangled, the captains of the Federal Navy often use chaotic tactical maneuvers to shake off the Allied defenses and pass by the other side.

"The enemy seems to want to engage us in close combat." The distance of the shelling array remained at four light-seconds, but ...... Lu Lu noticed that the enemy B cluster was only two lightseconds away from Feng Yiwu's 104th Fleet. Lu Lu turned his head to look at Hayabusa with an inquiring gaze.

"The Fourth Detachment of the First Fleet is an artillery bombardment fleet, and the number of troops is relatively low, so it is not suitable for boarding and fighting." Hayabusa confirmed that he was also not good at the current special service fleet. As far as the current Gillesis cluster is concerned, it is the mixed local fleet that really excels in this area. Undoubtedly, they were also the last defensive force of the fortress.

Feng Yiwu undoubtedly discovered the enemy's purpose, so she changed the initial trajectory of movement, and after a few subtle turns, the fleet under her command actually moved closer to the fortress. Perhaps it was done too delicately, and the Confederates were unwittingly taken by her to the area covered by the fortress's firepower. After the fortress gave them a blow in the face, they panicked and chose to retreat.

But at this moment, the Confederate Cluster B also fulfilled its tactical intent, and they successfully prevented the special service fleet from entrapping the Allied Cluster A. Although the Allied Army Group A has not yet been relieved of its danger, it is still in a state of being caught between the fire of the fortress and the Fengyi Dance Division.

In such large-scale battles, the foresight of the commander is even more important. And the tacit understanding between Lu Lu and Feng Yiwu, when Lu Lu's special fleet entered the battlefield, the two tacitly accelerated the pace of the battle. (To be continued.) )
