On May 13, 2083, Colonel Clifford, commander of the third formation of the aircraft carrier of the Fifth Fleet of the Raymond Kingdom, who was ordered to go deep into the hinterland of the Ultra Nebula, gave emergency assistance to Vice Admiral Bunier, commander of the Fifth Fleet, who was currently stationed in the Pioneer space station, and requested that the Fifth Fleet immediately send troops to rescue the third formation trapped in the hinterland of the Ultra Nebula.

At present, a full 24 hours have passed since the third formation went deep into the Ultra Nebula to fight, and in these 24 hours, the third formation with 800 fighters has frequently encountered the invasion of the Free Folk fighter team, and because it is not familiar with the shipping route, the third formation has struggled to move in the Ultra Nebula, not only has it lost nearly 200 fighters in vain under the frequent invasion of the Free Folk fighter team, but also fell into a trap and was completely surrounded by the Republic formation in an asteroid belt and could not move.

Due to being too optimistic about the progress of the battle before, when the third formation decided to make a long-distance attack on the Charon space fortress, it did not equip the formation with fuel supply ships, but simply equipped the fighters with fuel supply capsules. Both Colonel Clifford, the commander of the Third Formation, and Vice Admiral Bunier, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, believed that 40 hours was enough time for the well-trained Third Formation to completely wipe out the rabble in the Ultra Nebula. But what they never expected was that the progress in reality was far from as wonderful as they had imagined.

After changing the battlefield to the Ultra Nebula, a battlefield with extremely complex waterways, the original rabble will be transformed into an elusive and ferocious wolf pack. Taking advantage of their skillful flying skills and familiarity with the shipping lanes, the Free Folk launched frequent attacks, making the third formation have to pay the price of blood for almost every step forward. In order to resist the endless harassment tactics of the free people, the commander of the third formation, Colonel Clifford, deliberately concentrated almost all the ace pilots in the formation, and let them cruise around the periphery of the fighters, like sheepdogs to protect the entire fighter group.

Such measures did have a certain effect in the beginning, and several free people squads that rashly launched attacks were annihilated in succession. But after that, the originally scattered Free Folk squad suddenly gathered a large force with nearly 100 warplanes and launched a frantic attack on the third formation at the edge of the dust belt.

In the confrontation of large formations, the Free Folk Formation was not originally the opponent of the Third Formation, but the narrow channel of the Ultra Nebula made it impossible for the Third Formation to spread out its formation as usual and use a regular long-range salvo to deal with the Free Folk Formation. In the dust belt of the Ultra Nebula, where the line of sight is seriously disturbed, the Free Folk formation can easily approach a distance of about twenty light seconds, which makes the long-range salvo of the third formation completely useless, and often enters the chaotic close-range white-knuckle battle at the beginning of the battle.

Relying on the special topography of the Ultra Nebula, Chief of Staff Yarvis gave full play to the unique advantages of the Free Folk pilots. Taking advantage of that sudden large-scale attack, nearly eighty percent of the ace pilots of the third formation cruising around the periphery were annihilated in one fell swoop, causing the third formation under the command of Colonel Clifford to suffer extremely heavy losses. And the embarrassed and angry Colonel Clifford also lost the calm of the commander, and when he was about to break through the dust belt and approached the Charon space fortress, he rashly led his troops to pursue the freedfolk formation that retreated after the attack, so he was led by the nose by the cunning freedfolk formation into a meteorite belt, and encountered a long-planned comprehensive encirclement by Chief of Staff Yalvis.

In a standard aircraft carrier fleet, the role of the aircraft carrier is crucial, and the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier can be truly reflected through the space shuttle. Taking the Titan aircraft carrier as an example, a Titan aircraft carrier is often equipped with three complete space shuttle clusters, each of which has a scale of about 800 fighters. That is to say, just one Titan aircraft carrier can release 2,400 space shuttles into battle at one time, which is a decisive force capable of deciding the outcome of a war in a space battle. Therefore, if the third formation is completely annihilated by Yervis in the Ultra Nebula, then it is equivalent to the Fifth Fleet losing one-third of the space shuttle at once, which will inevitably directly affect the combat capability of the aircraft carrier, and Vice Admiral Bunier, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, cannot sit idly by and watch this formation be gradually annihilated by Yalvis.

After receiving a distress message from Colonel Clifford, the commander of the 3rd Formation, Lieutenant General Bunier, who was shocked, immediately called an emergency meeting to rescue the 3rd Formation, which had only 16 hours of fuel left. However, due to the limitations of the channel environment of the Ultra Nebula, even the smallest tonnage 'Whale Shark' frigate in the fleet could not sail in the channel of the Ultra Nebula, so the reinforcements were still mainly composed of space shuttles. In addition, in order to ensure victory, and considering the possibility of prolonged combat, Vice Admiral Bunier put all two aircraft carrier space shuttle formations under his command into reinforcements, and used five 24,000-ton "ray" transport ships as fuel supply ships to support the besieged third formation together with the first and second formations.

Putting all the space shuttles under its command into combat is tantamount to completely emptying the combat capability of the aircraft carrier, and with the aircraft carrier's own firepower alone, its combat firepower is even inferior to that of a 'Whale Shark' frigate. If it were ordinary, Vice Admiral Bunier would never have given such a risky order, but at the moment, he thought that his fleet would not be able to encounter a large-scale fleet battle in the short term, so he would be relieved and bold to devote all his space shuttles to the Battle of Ultra Nebula.

Soon after the reinforcements entered the outer star field of the Ultra Nebula, Johnny's team, which was cruising in the edge of the Ultra Nebula, reported Lieutenant General Bunier's reinforcements to Chief of Staff Yalvis, who was in the Charon Space Fortress.

"The other party took the bait, immediately contacted the general and told him that the plan could be started."

At the Caaron Space Fortress Headquarters, Chief of Staff Yárvis, who had learned of the Fifth Fleet's reinforcements, breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the communications officer to immediately inform Robin, who was far away in the Barnard system, of the situation.

In Duke? After Arthur led his troops to invade Proxima Centauri and gained control of the E-18 black hole and E-18 white hole in one fell swoop, Robin's intergalactic communication network was completely destroyed, which made Robin lose contact with Proxima Centauri for a while. However, this situation did not last long, because long before Christine spontaneously researched the intergalactic communication network belonging to Robin, he had already deciphered the core technology of Hayden United Information Company's jump signal satellite, the only one in the Federation that has the ability to establish a cross-galaxy communication network, so it was not difficult for him to copy Hayden United Information Company's jump signal satellite. Plus in Duke? Before Arthur invaded Proxima Centauri, Robin had placed his hands in the E-18 Black Hole Customs, giving Robin the ability to attack the E-18 Black Hole Customs. Unbeknownst to Arthur, he manipulated the intergalactic communications network of Hayden AIC, which was currently in operation.

With three jump signal satellites imitating Hayden United Information Corporation, Robin successfully escaped Duke? Arthur's signal surveillance, without Hayden Union Information Corporation noticing, re-established communication between Proxima Centauri and the Barnard system. Although there will be a time delay in the transmission of information compared to the past, and it is no longer possible to establish real-time communication as before, it is completely satisfying if it is only used to transmit military information.

Therefore, after Chief of Staff Yalvis officially sent the latest military information, it only takes five minutes for Robin, who is far away in the Barnard system, to learn about the changes in the battle situation in Proxima Centauri, and also to know that in the Pioneer space station, Vice Admiral Bunier's Fifth Fleet has become a toothless tiger to be slaughtered.

Vice Admiral Bunier, commander of the Fifth Fleet, could never have imagined the current situation he was experiencing and the reaction he would make after the third formation was trapped. [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
