Chapter 116: The Glory of Blood XV
The Freedom Alliance's gray-white starship group did not hesitate in the face of artillery fire, and the starships that gradually converged during the voyage ignored the casualties that increased as the density increased. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The incomparably strong will of the Info Alliance made Feng Qingyin, as an opponent, a big headache, even though she thought that no one would sit still.
But what surprised Feng Qingyin even more was that it was Lu Lu who made the decision to back down first. When Feng Qingyin hesitated, he teased in a pleasant tone: "The other side seems to be desperate, I don't want to fight with them, at least not now." ”
This battle is still far from being decided, and the situation of superiority and disadvantage in a short period of time does not mean that the winner is already divided. Therefore, Lu Lu, who wants to save more power, does not want to fight a life-and-death duel with an enemy who is already cornered right now. The staff department was able to obtain the most detailed data, so the staff officers led by the chief of staff, Li Ce, also supported Lu Lu's choice.
"So, now I'm here to ask for your opinion. Whether to continue to suppress the enemy's range of movement, or to temporarily retreat to ensure our supplies. Lu Lu stood up on the Federation and shrugged at Feng Qingyin on the communication screen.
Feng Qingyin didn't quite understand why Lu Lu could still maintain an optimistic attitude at a time when the situation in the special service fleet was gradually deteriorating. However, Lu Lu's decision made Feng Qingyin breathe a sigh of relief, which cannot be denied.
The blue-gray fleet shuddered for a moment, and then, as if pressed from top to bottom, it turned from a rugby ball into a discus. The Union Navy was taking the initiative to reduce its frontal contact with the Allied forces, which was often seen as a sign of concession on the battlefield. But Sebisto? As a commander who graduated from the Federal Military Academy, Al knew that this situation was only a façade.
"Don't take it lightly, our opponents won't throw in the towel so easily."
Sebisto? Fortunately for the commanders before him, Albi was psychologically authoritative among his men. So the Free Confederates did not rejoice in the small victory, as they had done before, and then acted on their own without heeding orders. In fact, in previous engagements, those who disobeyed orders were always the quickest to die. And there are no real fools in the cosmic age, once or twice experienced, there will always be enough experience.
Of course, the change of formation of the Federation Navy is not a concedence of defeat, even if Lu Lu believes that the special service fleet cannot independently bear the pressure of the enemy's First Squadron, it does not mean that the Gillesis cluster cannot withstand the pressure from the enemy. Lu Lu only chose to seek the assistance of friendly forces without hesitation when it was impossible for his side to bear the burden on his own.
This is a manifestation of the maturity of a military system, but it is a move that is taken for granted by the Federation, and it is quite meaningful in the eyes of the Alliance. Perhaps after this war, the military system of the Freedom Alliance will change accordingly. But for now, Al is trying to ask for help from his allies, simply because he and Antu trust each other.
The special fleet chose to back down, and the moment Feng Qingyin nodded in agreement, every blue-gray starship was busy. The Seventh Fleet increased the frequency of shelling, a move that attracted the full attention of Antu. And the 104th Fleet, under the leadership of Feng Yiwu, changed its formation while maintaining shooting.
The Antu fleet, which had superior forces, did not feel too much pressure, only the Arr fleet, which was trying to bypass the Federal Navy and converge with the Antu fleet, felt the deep malice from the Federal Navy that was close at hand.
"According to the current course, the best attack area of the enemy army will be passed in three hundred seconds." Al's captain reported to his commander in despair.
300 seconds...... The captain's briefing fell silent in the entire command room.
Although Al was frightened in his heart, his face did not show a single bit, and his calm and indifferent gray-blue eyes stared at the tactical screen in front of him. With only five minutes, it was almost impossible to change course from this huge group of starships, which had already raised its speed, at least not in the Southern Theater of Freedom Confederates to such qualities.
"Speed, we're going to rush over."
The off-white fleet did not panic at the actions of the Union Navy, but accelerated through the threat zone. As the only senior commander of the Gillesis cluster who has nothing to spare, Lulu expressed his gratitude to Sebisto? Al's great appreciation, though the person concerned may never know.
The off-white fleet began a short death march.
It is not the probability on the battlefield that determines their life or death, but the speed of their passage and the efficiency of the Federal Navy's shelling. It may sound negative, but on the battlefield, it's the only option.
"Pay attention to the data correction provided by the weapon link, the enemy is accelerating." Nearly 1,000 people in the staff room of the USS Confederation were preparing for the bombardment.
"Ammunition is in place. Energy in place. The inspection of the main artillery system was completed" and when their work was completed in just a few minutes, they gathered here in Lulu, and it was such a few short sentences. When Li Ce reported to Lu Lu in the communication, it meant that the hundreds of thousands of main guns of the entire fleet were all in a state of readiness. "The preparation of the fleet shelling is complete. Waiting for your orders, Admiral. ”
Lu Lu is very satisfied with his chief of staff, and in terms of work, Li Ce, the chief of staff, is very qualified. Although he also has a tendency to be corrupted by the general environment of the Federation, the chief of staff at work is still worthy of the trust of everyone in the fleet. Therefore, it is not to blame Lu Lu for being lazy and entrusting the important power of securing the time of the attack to His Excellency the Chief of Staff.
If it were those Republican forces in the Domain of the Fountain, they probably wouldn't have chosen the location of the special fleet to break through. For the Republican forces struggling in the shadow of the Combined Fleet of the Three Kingdoms, no one wants to be able to fire a salvo of fire at the level of the First Fleet of the Yanhuang Federation, and certainly no one wants to endure a rapid fire from the size of the Special Service Fleet.
As many conspirators have speculated, there is some kind of connection between the IRA and the Confederates, so this situation is not taken seriously in the current situation of military intelligence sharing. Is this exactly what Sebisto is? Al chose the source of courage to accelerate through.
"I hope that after today, you still have the courage to act recklessly." Lewlo prayed insincerely. Of course, the only one in charge of listening to Lulu's prayers was the Hayabusa closest to him.
"If you appreciate it, let's talk about it after the war is over. If the other person is not dead by then, maybe you can treat him to a cup of tea. "Falcon combined the report of the Air Force that had just ended, and His Excellency the Adjutant, who was multitasking, naturally made a suggestion to Lu Lu.
The shelling of the fleet scale was gorgeous.
The dense golden-green light is even like a light curtain in a short period of time, bright and dim, coupled with the light that has unfortunately been hit and turned into fireworks in a short period of time, colorful and brilliant.
If you don't count the death toll represented by this beautiful scenery, many people will probably be immersed in war.
The Liberty Alliance's vanguard fleet was so well-trained in the sudden acceleration of its furious advance that it was a far cry from the chaos of the friendly forces behind them. It is precisely because they have performed so well that they have become the priority targets of the special service fleet.
"Our casualties are increasing."
"I've lost seventy percent of my men."
"Now, I'm going to accompany my men. Long live the 19th Fleet. ”
By the time the noisy communication channels had quieted down, the brief exchange was over. The Federal Navy did not win, and the Aral Fleet attracted the firepower of the Special Service Fleet with the largest amount of elite fleet, so the Aral Squadron successfully broke out of the strike range of the Special Service Fleet.
It's just that the Arr fleet probably didn't win either, more than 25,000 battleships were destroyed, and the same number of battleships were damaged to varying degrees. Even if they were to join up with the Antu fleet, they would probably not be able to engage in battle for a few hours. Not to mention, among the lost battleships, there was also a fleet that was wiped out in formation.
"The enemy passed through our optimal attack zone within one hundred and twenty seconds, and if the formation can be adjusted, we can add about five thousand on top of the current twenty-five thousand." Chief of Staff Li Ce was a little excited when he made a report, it was the first time that he had achieved such a huge number of kills in his decades of service.
Lu Lu waved at his chief of staff, though he also hoped for more results. However, the Special Service Fleet cannot selfishly pursue its own results and expose the flanks of friendly forces to the threat of enemy artillery. Li Ce, as the chief of staff, naturally knew it, so he just hoped that his boss could have the best of both worlds. Therefore, when Lu Lu waved his hand and refused, Li Ce did not have any loss, and he still maintained a smile on his serious and rigid face.
Turning off the communication curtain from the General Staff, Lu Lu looked around the bridge that had regained calm, and touched his chin for a while: "It seems that there is nothing for me to do now." ”
"Yes." Hayabusa didn't know when he made a pot of steaming black tea and filled Lulu's cup. Then he said to Lu Lu in a tone that did not fluctuate emotionally: "In the thirty-two minutes that can be expected, nothing that must be the responsibility of the Grand Admiral will take place. ”
"Well, when you say that, it makes me feel a sharp increase in my self-worth." Lu Lu's hand touching the teacup paused, and then a triumphant smile sprouted. "Mmmm, I'm going to get serious. After all, this is a decisive battle in the Southern Theater. ”
Falcon stood beside Lu Lu, also holding up the teacup and pretending to cover up, and rolled his eyes fiercely. The reason why Lelu was able to get half an hour of idleness was only because after the bursting firepower of the special service fleet, more than half of the battleship's ammunition depots were emptied, and the other half of the battleships were in dire need of weapon system overhaul.
