Chapter 384: Repeater Attack and Defense
"The Reaper fleet will arrive in 30 seconds ......"
Great hope followed great disappointment, and the gap in the middle caused everyone's brain to fall into a brief pause.
The entire fleet was silent, and everyone stared closely at Li Huamei and General Hackett on the screen, waiting for them to say the "verdict" - at this time, many people had already thought that if they really chased a super-large fleet behind, the Star Federation would have to use more fleets to break the back. At this time, the possibility of allowing the "Skirian Star Task Force" to retreat is actually very slim.
General Hackett gritted his teeth, the green tendons on the top of his head collapsed, and his face became a little hideous. At first, his eyes unconsciously looked left and right, obviously his heart was also vigorously moving. But just when his eyes suddenly turned resolute, and he was about to say something, Li Huamei suddenly preemptively said: "I order-"
All the remaining people of the fleet are in good spirits! The captains who were guarding in front of the communication channel even subconsciously jumped down from their chairs to stand upright. General Hackett also stopped talking through the screen...... looked at Li Huamei here suspiciously.
"The whole fleet is divided into three batches, retreat immediately!" She quickly ordered without hesitation, and at the same time sent out a large number of instructions with ten fingers - with her direct boss personally issuing instructions, everyone would not bear any responsibility as long as they followed it, even if it was like "escaping". "A batch every seven seconds. The first batch, XX XXX ", although she kept talking, in fact the order was sent long before it was dictated, so some of the warships that received the order. The action began immediately.
“…… The third batch, Shanghai and Kunlun. Above! Sure enough, she was still the same as usual. Left the flagship, as well as the people of the original "Skirian Task Force", last. There are only a few seconds left to prepare, so it can be said that it is a gesture of leaving everything to escape...... Therefore, although those captains had a thousand words in their hearts, they could only salute Li Huamei with all their might. Then leave the communication station and immediately start arranging for the evacuation.
Time passed by second by second, like the devil's footsteps getting faster and faster.
After the brightness of the repeater has increased to a certain level, it enters a flickering phase like a heartbeat, as every naval soldier knows. It was a sign that the teleportation was about to be completed - the Reaper fleet should have entered the zero-mass jump channel. On the battlefield, the large and small warships of the Star Alliance ...... Some of the ships were still covered with smoke, and some were half broken. But the battleships all insisted on coming together. Dodging the wreckage of the battlefield, they flew in the direction of the secondary repeater.
In front of the repeater, only two battleships remained in place - one was the "Shanghai" heavy cruiser commanded by Colonel Muyu, and the other was the "Kunlun" that turned crimson to pitch black! 1.26 km long dreadnought battleship. At this moment, it really looks like a moat mountain range. Stand behind all the ships!
Admiral Hackett didn't object to Li Huamei's order, he just thought about it one more step - these surviving naval officers and men, they had just experienced a strangulation battle and a blocking battle with the Reapers! Real gold is not afraid of fire, and they have just passed the cruel test of war!
Compared to the value of the new warships themselves, these seeds of the aftermath of the war are actually more precious, and they are likely to grow into the core of the future counterattack reapers! The Star Alliance has not yet reached the end of the road, and it still has the strength to continue to build more warships in the future. So they shouldn't have died here in old ships, they deserved better ships...... For this, even if you lose a few more battleships. It's worth it, too. Don't blame Hackett for being so cold, he can't do this. is not a qualified commander of the overall situation.
"Come back safely!" General Hackett finally said a solemn word to Li Huamei, and then hung up the communication in a hurry. Now that the situation has changed, many of his plans have to be adjusted accordingly. And to say that kind of thing, it is already very rare for a cold and hard old man.
"So, my dear, will you do me a little favor now?" When the communication with Hackett was over, Li Huamei suddenly smiled, turned around and took the adjutant's hand and said.

"Xu Jing, why are you here?! What happened to your hand? ”
The bridge of the "Shanghai" suddenly became very quiet. Colonel Muyu, who was dizzy from the retreat, raised his head for some unknown reasons, but was frightened by the person standing in front of him - his wife actually appeared out of thin air!
"The general arranged for us to evacuate on the Shanghai." Xu Jing, whose eyes were red, bit her lip and said, of course Muyu knew that she must have cried. Xu Jing pointed to the four people who were following her. "There were seven of us, and the other two seriously injured were in the emergency room."
Yes, Colonel Muyu's wife, Xu Jing, is Li Huamei's adjutant. Remember the Squilian raid? That's when the three met. When Li Huamei first picked up the baton, Muyu and Xu Jing happened to be married on the planet "Elysium", so they were involved in that war. also opened a friendship between three people that lasted for almost ten years.
Li Huamei, she ...... Damn it! Xu Jing actually appeared on his boat, and of course Mu Yu immediately figured out Li Huamei's purpose!
He slammed the electronic board in his hand on the table, and angrily dialed the flagship's communication. "You say, are you dizzy when you are a hero?" As soon as the communication was connected, Mu Yu angrily scolded Li Huamei. "You said that without you, would you have to perish immediately?! The earth would have to stop spinning without you?! Who do you think you are? Why are you rushing to die? So many men in the navy haven't died yet, do you have to be a hero?! You ......"
On the screen, Li Huamei knocked on the microphone helplessly and interrupted his words. Then the next sentence made Muyu speechless. "The main engine of the Kunlun was broken."
"All four are broken?"
"There's also a 15% performance left." Xu Jing stubbornly corrected beside her - she was easily persuaded by Li Huamei, and now she expects Muyu to be able to persuade Li Huamei - except for being arrogant and unreasonable, Xu Jing admits that she is clumsy, and she can't say anything about these two people when she is reasonable.
With this little bit of propulsion power, there is really no way for the "Kunlun" to keep up with the speed of retreat. "That'...... Then you can leave on my boat. "Muyu came up with another solution.
"But my main cannon is still intact," Li Huamei's reason once again left Muyu speechless, "You know, I didn't have much chance to fire before." ”
Yes, the reason why Li Huamei has always been at the forefront is to use the shield and armor of the new battleship comparable to the "Overlord" class to "block the gun" of the old battleship behind! Otherwise, those old-fashioned battleships may not be able to survive a round, and the main guns of the "Overlord" class will die if they are hit or wiped out! Therefore, except for the first round of sneak attacks on the Reaper, the Kunlun once killed a "Overlord" with one shot. Most of the time, the Kunlun had to concentrate all its energy on the shield, and could only occasionally fire a few cold shots. Even Li Huamei had to use the battleship to display the "three swords to reach the sky" or sacrifice the "unimportant" part of the battleship to shield the battleships behind from the wind and rain -- otherwise, the "Kunlun" would not have been damaged to such an extent, but it would still be able to continue fighting.
"Don't worry, you know...... I have a way to leave. Li Huamei winked at the two of them, and deliberately raised the hand with the jade bracelet so that they could see through the screen. As friends, especially Xu Jing is also Li Huamei's personal adjutant, Muyu and Xu Jing know that Li Huamei has some "special skills".
"Captain, watch the retreat time! We only have ten seconds! The correspondent yelled at the captain Mu Yu in a sweat, and made a gesture with the number "ten".
"Goodbye, obey my previous orders!" Li Huamei nodded, and finally added meaningfully, "Remember to take care of Xu Jing!" Then the communication was turned off.
Mu Yu and Xu Jing were helpless about this.
******
“5、4、3……”
The countdown to the Reaper's leap continued, and the communication screen dimmed.
Li Huamei still had a parting smile on her face, she looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist, took it off and put it on the bridge - the jade bracelet had actually run out of energy when she summoned Anne and the four hundred soldiers...... In other words, Li Huamei has no way to leave. Even if she has been promoted to the heavenly position at this moment, she is actually useless in the battleship strangulation battle. How can a flesh and blood body withstand the main cannon of a starship?
Maybe there are too many times to experience life and death, and Li Huamei doesn't feel too much emotion. On the contrary, when she wanted to leave a few words for Lu Yuan, she became completely flustered - her cheeks were red, her heart was like a deer, and she didn't know what to say at all......
In the end, Li Huamei could only tell herself that there were still so many things to prepare, and then she hid herself in the work pile in a panic.
As for her heart...... Lu Yuan understands that he understands, but he doesn't understand...... Then I don't understand!
She was the only one left on the entire battleship, so Hua Mei manipulated the gates of all the passages to close one by one. Not only does this slightly increase the toughness of the hull, but the segmented compartments help control the spread of the disaster; The battleship did not need to perform long-range maneuvers and shut down the main engines that were badly damaged; There is no need to cool down, and the metal vapor condensate that has completely lost its effect is discarded; Turn off the shield to transfer energy from the shield to the main gun......
Li Huamei adjusted the details of the "Kunlun" little by little, striving for any slight advantage.
Suddenly, the relayers shone brightly again, and the endless number of Reaper warships appeared in the Arcturus galaxy - because of the sheer number of them, they even filled the space of the battlefield just now.
Li Huamei completely ignored the countless reapers who surrounded the "Kunlun".
She leaned into the conductor's seat, more blue tentacle threads stretching out of her chair. The secret linen wrapped her up, allowing Li Huamei to be completely connected to the battleship!
"The first sword, the immortal shows the way!" (To be continued.) )
