182 Counterattack begins
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, where are we now?" After successfully performing the space jump, the captains of the remaining five warships had a huge change in their attitude towards Zhong Yun.
Due to the secrecy of this plan, the temporary operations department only told the captains that they were going to carry out a secret mission, but did not explain the content of the mission.
When they saw that their commander was actually only a teenager under the age of twenty, the captains of the other five warships really suspected that the Temporary Operations Department had a brain pump, otherwise how could they make such a ridiculous decision.
Even a centralized imperial state has never heard of a twenty-year-old fleet commander.
Do you really treat war as child's play? What are the heads of those bureaucrats used to think? They all had the urge to go back and lift the brains of the bureaucrats in the Temporary War Department to see what was inside.
However, due to the nature of the soldiers to obey orders, they finally suppressed the doubts in their hearts. It's just that if this teenager gives random orders, they will not spare the power in their hands.
In Davao, the fleet on duty also has a method similar to the "temporary vote" of the Hongxian Federation, which is used to limit the power of the commander.
As soon as they set out, the excessively young commander sent them a chart of the route, saying that they were sailing along this route.
If it weren't for the very detailed markings on this star map, the five captains would have been afraid to oppose it on the spot. The universe is full of unknown dangers, and it is important to be cautious when conducting space voyages.
And the routes that have been explored by countless people with their lives can ensure the safety of space navigation to the greatest extent.
Only explorers with their heads on their belts will run off unknown routes without any problems. To do so in wartime is to make a joke on the lives of all soldiers.
However, what Zhong Yun took out was a detailed star map, and it didn't seem to be a big problem. They all thought that this star map was issued by the Temporary Operations Department. So there was no resistance.
It wasn't until thirty minutes before they were about to make a space jump that they received the order to prepare for a space jump. The five captains were in an uproar.
You know, they are all captains with decades of experience in astronautics, and they can find as many space jump points as there are in Davao with their eyes closed. How could there be any space jump points in this place?
However, they didn't say anything, and according to Zhong Yun's order, they began to order the personnel of the ship to prepare.
Davao's military law is very strict, and they have been in the army for many years, so they will not be caught for such trivial things. Although there are a few people who have the intention of watching the joke.
The main reason is that Zhong Yun is too young to win their trust.
In fact, it is not surprising that they have this idea, even if this boy is a genius, at his age, at most, he is in college.
Even if you graduate from college and are admitted to the top vocational military schools, after you come out of the military school, you can only start as a trainee sailor. Even if you have a very strong background and don't have ten years of work, don't think about staying up to the rank of general.
The most typical example is Yang Bingchang's eldest son, Yang Yunlong, who came out of the vocational military academy and is now a major general, which took a total of nine years. He was only the captain of a destroyer.
A qualified captain requires knowledge and experience that a teenager can never have. This will take more than ten years or even decades to accumulate.
How would they feel if they knew that there were only five people in the main control room of the "Mars" plus Liu Yunqi.
After entering the range of the space jump point, several captains felt that he was talking nonsense, they had shuttled through the space jump point countless times, and they were familiar with the form of the space jump point.
There was a calm, no anomalies, no eye-like vortex at all.
When they saw the "Mars" driving past, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space, and the entire "Mars" disappeared out of thin air.
They had never seen such a strange situation before, and they were stunned.
After a while, they received a signal from Mars that it was safe to pass and told them to start jumping.
The five captains were silent, and after a while, in the order in which they had been arranged, a battleship rushed first, and the space rippled again, submerging the battleship.
When all the warships had passed, everyone cheered. Everyone knows very well what one more space jump point in a country means.
It was also from this time that they no longer underestimated the young commander.
"The coordinates here are xx.xx.xx." Zhong Yun reported the coordinates here, waiting for them to readjust the coordinates.
"This coordinate ......" Some technicians who are very familiar with the coordinates jump wildly when they see this coordinate. and so on input into the master optical brain. Looking at the location displayed on the star map, everyone was stunned.
There was silence, and the air in the main control rooms of the five battleships was silent.
Zhong Yun's high-pitched voice broke the silence, "Target, the enemy's temporary base." The counterattack begins. ”
With his order, the horn of Davao's counteroffensive was officially sounded.
"Counterattack—" Everyone in the control rooms of all the battleships repeated the words, and the high-pitched voice almost pierced the outer wall of the ship and spread beyond the universe.
They have waited too long for this day. They finally set foot on this lost territory again.
Intruder, here we come.
After the Hongxian Federation launched the first resource star in Dawo, they established a base there as a transit point for supplies. The Hongxian Federation spent a lot of effort to build this base. Because there's a space jump point near here.
In order to prevent the Davao Army from killing out of this jump point, they left a large number of troops here to stand by. Of course, as long as the Davao Army's brains are not burned out, they will not choose to kill from the jump point.
It's like they didn't jump from inside to Davao's hinterland after capturing this jump point. Because to do so is tantamount to suicide. These space jump points are small, allowing only one ship to jump at a time. Also, you have to wait ten minutes for each jump.
In these ten minutes, the battleship that jumped over first had already been bombarded to smithereens by the waiting shelling.
After that, they set up a small base for each resource star they occupy, which served as a transit point and replenished their own consumption from the resource star.
Zhong Yun's goal is to have these small bases. Because the occupation was still short, the protection established by the enemy was certainly not strong.
The people of the Hongxian Federation did not expect that the Davao Army would suddenly fall from the sky and launch a surprise attack on them, and by the time they came to their senses and wanted to counterattack, it was already too late.
The battle lasted only half an hour, and this relatively large base was destroyed by the Davao Army, which was burning with the fire of revenge, and all the soldiers of the Hongxian Federation were killed, leaving not a single survivor. They recovered the entire resource star and rescued a large number of captives.
These captives were all personnel on the original resource star, and under the pressure of the Hongxian Federation soldiers, they carried out high-intensity work to mine the resources on the resource star to supplement their consumption.
For these rescued captives, Zhong Yun felt a little headache. Rationally speaking, he should leave these people alone and leave them to fend for themselves.
Their strength is insufficient, and if they leave a part of the warship stationed in this resource star, they will only disperse their strength, and finally be broken by the enemy one by one.
But if he really abandoned them, Zhong Yun could imagine what kind of situation would happen.
These "rescue teams" are determined to die to defend their homes and the country and rescue the people who have fallen into the flames of war. The main members of the "rescue team" are not military. Rather, they came from all the powers, and they came with a noble ideal.
If this ideal is shattered, then what fighting power do they have to speak of?
After consulting with the other five captains, Zhong Yun finally made a decision and brought these people with him. These people add up to no more than 50,000, and they can still be squeezed.
After destroying most of the equipment on the resource star, he took away the materials left behind by the Hongxian Federation, and destroyed those that could not be taken away. Then he went to another enemy base.
As for the next target, they are still controversial, and some believe that they should turn around and kill the enemy's main force as soon as possible, and flank the main force of Davao to annihilate the enemy.
However, according to Zhong Yun's original plan, he should go in the opposite direction and destroy the enemy's largest base. Having lost supplies, the main forces of the enemy are not far from destruction. According to Xiao Zero's speculation, Davao's main force should be able to hold out for a while.
In the end, Zhong Yun persuaded the others to kill the enemy's main base. The reason why the remaining five captains will be persuaded is simple, they are completely shocked by the strength of the "Mars". With strength, words carry weight.
Got a lot of useful intel on the enemy's computer, allowing their plans to go smoothly.
After destroying seven enemy bases in a row, Zhong Yun and the others finally waited for a big fish, and a huge supply ship headed towards them.
The "Mars" was the first to detect the other side, and Zhong Yun immediately informed the other five warships, although the warships of the other five captains had not detected any trace of the enemy, but they did not doubt the authenticity of this information.
"Mars" conquered everyone with its strong performance. They have already learned the detection capabilities of Mars.
"How big is the supply fleet?" One of the captains asked calmly.
"The other side has a total of fifty-seven spaceships, including thirty 'Mars' three-quarter-tonnage transport ships, twenty-six destroyers, and one 'Kiriyama-class' mothership." Zhong Yun said.
The eyes of the five captains showed a look of ecstasy that could not be concealed, and they said in unison, "Please order." ”
Zhong Yunping was excited for a moment, and turned his head to look at the three companions beside him, and from their slightly trembling bodies, it could be seen that they were as excited as himself.
"Give the order." Chen Wen said softly.
"Give the order." Zhang Xiao clenched her teeth tightly.
"Give the order." Tianhai's round face was more serious than ever.
