CHAPTER XLVIII
Ask the captain? Even if it was a day ago, Lei Qingrang would indeed have made such a choice. www.biquge.info However, now, Lei Qingrang did not think that asking the captain was the best choice.
For Lei Qingrang, Feng Yiwu has become unfamiliar. Even though the two of them were extremely close in rank and status, Lei Qingrang knew that there were some things that ordinary her would never have. And these things, for Feng Yiwu, are innate responsibilities.
"Captain? She's working very hard, too. Lei Qingrang looked at the white figure, with a trace of pity in his eyes, but also a trace of anger. In the past, Lei Qingrang would feel fortunate in such a situation and didn't have to carry too many things, but now, Lei Qingrang was angry at his incompetence, but he was helpless, after all, there were things that she couldn't involve.
Because of the special rays emitted by the stars of galaxies, the cosmic space here shows a light green color. Although it looks beautiful, this light green ray is extremely lethal to human cells. However, with the current means of protection, the mystery of the universe cannot cause much harm to humans.
Lei Qingrang didn't plan to ask Feng Yiwu, but Captain Lin Ze, who was a tactical staff officer, chose to ask. For him, the question now is how to prepare for battle before the start of the battle in order to gain the maximum advantage.
"Chief of General Affairs, how many more Star Thunder do we have?" Feng Yiwu stared at his deputy with a cold gaze. A general affairs officer with a personality and hobbies that are completely different from Feng Yiwu.。
"Well, two thousand four hundred. If you release it all, it will take 40 minutes. Captain, you mean ......? Lei Qingrang glanced at the control board in front of him and quickly reported the number. Seeing Feng Yiwu's frowning brows, Lei Qingrang immediately knew that her chief was worried about something. "The technical group can use torpedoes for modifications, and there can be about 700 more modifications."
"Retrofit? When will it be done? ”
"If the Marines help, it can be done in half an hour. After all, they have more than enough people. ”
"Well, it should be the same as you think, let the marines modify as much as possible. We're laying mines here at Stargate. After all, our highest priority is to prevent the enemy from escaping. Feng Yiwu's face showed a somewhat strange smile. Will they pay attention to the star thunder when they run away? I'm looking forward to their reactions. ”
"Understood, I'm going to make a concrete plan." Lin Ze, a tactical staff officer who had already obtained more information from Feng Yiwu, naturally took over the conversation.
"There's not much time, you only have fifteen minutes." Feng Yiwu's cold voice was full of trust. She simply believed that the officers of the USS Confederation could do the best of what they planned. Although, Feng Yiwu is more convinced of the saying that plans are not as fast as change. However, as a federal soldier, Feng Yiwu is just used to planning various things and proceeding step by step. Of course, these elaborate plans, from the time they met Lu Lu, are always changing.
"We currently have only eight main guns and four heavy cruisers. Theoretically, it can hold out for about 90 minutes under the attack of the opponent's five battle detachments. ”
"The objective of the battle is to prevent the enemy from escaping the battlefield. The star thunder needs to be centered on the pre-moon point of the star gate, and the range of the arrangement is more than seven OOOO. There are only more than 2,000 star thunders, and it is impossible to completely distribute them. ”
"Arrange a large number of star mines in the direction leading to the stargate, and a small number in other directions. The anchorage problem of Star Mine will be handed over to the Air Force to solve. The technical team will use torpedoes to convert them into star mines. Although the performance is not as good as that of Star Thunder, the explosion damage is much greater. ”
……
Unlike the Federation Navy, which prefers a blue-gray color, the Galactic Starship Force prefers a silver-white livery. Because they have been enemies for hundreds of years, both sides are actually very aware of each other's preferences and fighting styles.
Major General Regel, who is in charge of commanding these five battle detachments, has served the Galaxy Starship Force for nearly a hundred years, but this general has participated in only a handful of battles. In the hundred years when the Federation officially bordered the Empire, the southern defense line of the Galactic Starship Force was provoked numerous times by the Federation Navy.
Unfortunately, for various reasons, the actions of the Federation Army always ended in failure. In the last decade or so, the Federation has gradually abandoned its invasion of the Galactic Empire. However, the Galactic Empire, which has been bullied for decades, of course, thinks that the opportunity has come.
Although the Federation and the Galactic Empire have been fighting on the border for a long time, this does not mean that every Galactic Army general will participate in the battle.
If in the Federal Navy, servicemen who have no combat experience, will always be despised. However, the vast majority of the Galactic Empire's military personnel who have not participated in the battle make up the vast majority of the Galactic Empire. The fleets deployed on the border are indeed elite, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the Federation, but the rest of the fleets, which occupy the vast majority, will not be deployed on the front line. This is slightly different from the Central Fleet line rotation system of the Union Navy.
However, the expeditionary force in the Galactic Empire's starship force is slightly different, they are much more trained than their garrisons in the country, and it is still easy to rely on strict training and superior equipment to suppress the small forces in the universe. Therefore, the Helan garrison is not a rookie unit with no combat experience at all.
"There are five minutes left, and I'm about to get out of the jump."
"General, do you want to issue a battle order? This is already the sphere of activity of the Federal Army. The adjutant asked General Regel.
"No need, let the frigate check if there are any star mines arranged by the Yanhuang people around here." Although he is not a famous general on the battlefield, he is also a graduate of the best military academy in the Galactic Empire. Besides, his subordinates had already reported that a battleship was blown up by the star thunder of the Yanhuang people outside a star gate, and it was always right to prepare in advance.
"Yes, sir."
However, on this side of the Star Gate, there are no star thunder or ambushes. This made General Regal feel strange, those Federation people had put some star mines at every stargate exit, although after they raised their vigilance, they did not cause any losses. However, these star mines have caused some trouble for the actions of the Galactic Empire Army.
"Uh, nothing wrong? Expand the scanning range of electronic warfare support ships. "Major General Reeger gave the order very cautiously.
In fact, there are two more galaxies away from the nearest patrol line of the Federal Navy, about six hours away, and the so-called Federal Naval Activity Zone refers to the area that can be reached within six hours.
"Don't they think we're going to go into the confines of the Federation?" Regel's deputy, Brigadier General Henry, also thought the current situation was very strange. The Federal Navy has always been known for its reckless actions, and it has become a common practice for the people of the Union Army to do unplanned things that can be controlled within the scope of the plan.
"The First Special Service Fleet is just a newly formed fleet that has only been established for three years, and most of their members are just rookies who have just graduated from the military academy, so they shouldn't be so cunning."
"Theoretically, I agree. But nothing is absolute, General Regel. "Commodore Henry is a veteran of the frontier defenses, and he knows very well that the fleets of the Yellow Men are sometimes full of chivalry, but more often than not, they are cunning and unusually scoundrels.
"Battle formation, sail towards the Klay Star Gate. The whole fleet is on alert. "There was nothing wrong with Rear Admiral Regel's order, however, he clearly underestimated the obscenity of the special fleet, or rather, Lulu.
The large group of battleships maintained the formation and adjusted their orientation, which took more than five minutes. Even with a well-trained fleet, this time will not differ much. This is something that is determined by the performance of the computer systems on the current battleship.
......At the moment when the computer system coordinated the steering of the battleship, the shipboard radar of the entire fleet issued the highest level of alarm.
"Shelling alert."
A blue-gray light streaked across the deep blue sky and crashed against the battleship's thick armor. Following the light of the shelling, a dense stream of missiles dragged the orange flames as fast as they approached the silver-white fleet.
"Missiles are coming." The sergeant in charge of radar observation shouted loudly. "It takes three seconds for the short-range defense system to deploy."
"Let the frigate come forward to form a defensive circle." Major General Reeger could only order so. The computer system is unreliable, and this is something that the soldiers of the Galactic Empire know very well.
"The shelling is not over yet, and letting the frigate come forward is an act of sending them to their deaths." Brigadier General Henry reminded helplessly. In fact, in the first wave of shelling, dozens of frigates were hit by artillery fire.
"The Federation's missiles are more terrifying than their artillery fire." The Galactic Empire's intelligence services are also quite good. Not long ago, the news of the large-scale replacement of missiles by the Federal Navy was basically distributed to all fleets.
Sure enough, despite the desperate bombing of the short-range defense system, it could not completely intercept more than 10,000 missiles. Just one missile that slipped through the net caused a frigate to explode and disintegrate. The Galactic Army, who saw this scene on the battleship, couldn't help but feel sad.
"Missiles are coming. There are a lot of them. "The dense number of missiles appeared on the radar screen, and the officer in charge of the radar did not intend to wait for the computer to count the specific figures, and reported them directly to Major General Regel.
"Damn, keep the barrage. Gunnery chief, calculated parameters, return fire, return fire. ”
If Lulu was in the position of Rear Admiral Regel, he would definitely be able to give ballistic parameters at the first moment so that the fleet could easily return fire. However, Rear Admiral Reeger did not have the computing power of Lu Lu, and all he could do was wait for the ship's computer to calculate the trajectory.
At this time, the Helan garrison, which had no experience of firefighting with regular troops, showed the jerkiness of a rookie. In the seconds that they waited for the parameters to be calculated, they did not suppress the fire at all, but just rigidly waited for the data to be transmitted.
