Chapter 119: Search

The Sixth Fleet finally failed to deliver the news to the bandits in time.

Under the personal supervision of Commander Zheng Mengcheng, the communication group exhausted all kinds of emergency information transmission methods, changed all kinds of signal codes of the Allies and Chuckner, and even ventured to activate a local electronic network set up in a hidden location in the channel, but failed to find the bandit fleet.

At this time. Nearly six hours had passed since the bandit fleet passed the jump point. Everyone knows that this kind of effort itself carries a kind of luck mentality.

Reske is a war zone. In this airspace, the situation of the bandit fleet is far more dangerous than that of an elk roaming among lions.

Therefore, maintaining the necessary electronic shielding and communication silence is an inevitable choice for the bandits. They are after entering the fairway. It is like a school of fish diving into the deep sea. Disappeared without a trace - without a trace. Unless they're always tracking or actively contacting, no one should try to find them.

The flagship command hall is brightly lit. The officers of the Sixth Fleet, who were silently looking at each other, prayed in their hearts. The sound of the communicator tapping on the keyboard and the stereotyped electronic sound of the communication not answering are unusually clear in this silent space.

The vast starry sky. An asteroid belt, floating silently.

Next to a boulder with a scarred surface that kept tumbling, a small, black electronic reconnaissance satellite like a stone was running silently. Over and over again, the signal, centered on the endive, spread in all directions.

There are many more reconnaissance satellites like this in the starry sky. They are hidden in the asteroid belt, the universe

In the dust or stellar halo, the diffuse signals form a dense web.

However, the only answer to them is the eternal silence of the universe.

"The information given to us by the Sixth Fleet shows that the coordinates of the airspace where the Western Fleet appears are Tsuki. Carl closed the electronic folder in his hand, looked around at the officers with serious faces in the packed conference room, and said, "However, the reconnaissance ship repeatedly searched this airspace and did not find the Western Fleet. ”

He picked up another document from the table, strode to the interstellar map while reading it, raised his head, and followed the flashing green route on the map to Leifeng Star, and said, "At present, the fleet is about to complete the fourth leg of the route and jump into the obstacle area at the tail of the Cigar Nebula. We predict that in the remaining segments, the most likely positions of the enemy should be the oxtail system of the sixth leg, the Honghe beach obstacle area of the ninth leg and the adjacent L5 resource star-sphere of the eleventh leg."

"Why isn't it the AL_81 obstacle zone on the eighth leg?" A Captain of the Phantom Legion raised his hand and asked puzzledly: "On this channel, Area 81 is known as the Natural Blocking Zone, and if the other party wants to control the logistics channel, Area 8\} wants to be the battlefield. Moreover, this location is also the closest to the airspace where they appear. ”

"The No. 2 and No. Q reconnaissance ships have repeatedly searched the airspace of Area 81 and found no trace of the enemy fleet

Trace. Karl Dao.

"The search should be broadened." Captain Colonel suggested.

"The fleet's reconnaissance power is limited, and it is impossible to probe the entire fairway. Only three important areas of Area 81 were searched. It took nearly two hours. Karl shook his head and said, "If a similar search were conducted in every suspicious area, it would take us months to reach Leifeng Star." ”

In the conference room, there was a commotion.

The previous intelligence of the Sixth Fleet had already made many captains present dissatisfied with the fat man's forcible advance to Leifeng Star. The only consolation is that the enemy is bright and dark, and more or less occupies the initiative. Once you find out the reality of the opponent, you can't beat or can't break through, you can find another way after all.

But who knows. The reconnaissance ship went according to the coordinates given by the intelligence, but it actually pounced. Now, not only the number of the enemy fleet. The type and number of ships are not known, and even the location of the other side is not known. How can this battle be fought? After all, your fleet had just passed through the jump point. Although the space is large, the jump point is fixed. As long as you stare at the jump point with a reconnaissance ship, the fleet that jumps over is the prey that appears alive in the field of vision.

The enemy is bright and I am dark, and it has become the enemy dark and I am bright. If we sail towards Leifeng Star in this way, God knows when those enemies hiding in the shadows will jump out and bite the throat of this fleet!

The officers exchanged words and discussions.

The generals of Lelei and the staff of the Shengsheng all frowned, staring at the interstellar map and thinking hard.

I can't find the whereabouts of my opponent, and it's useless to say anything. In a space battle, the defeat rate of the attacked side is as high as 80 percent. Even though this is an elite fleet built by Hastings himself, all the ships are the most advanced warships of the Feiyang military at present, and all the officers and men are experienced retired veterans of the Double-headed Eagle Force, this does not mean that the time and place are lost, and victory can be guaranteed.

You must know that in a space battle, the formation, reaction time, attack position and other elements during the battle are each related to "enough to affect the victory and defeat scale." When encountering an attack, the attacked fleet must first adjust its position and angle and change its formation. It will take time for the main formation to gather and drive the patrol group to attack, and the mothership to release the fighters.

There is also a series of work such as charging the main gun, officers and men entering combat posts, starting all engines, and so on. It takes even more time

Many.

Under the salvo of the opposing battleship group and the outflanking and cutting of the destroyer group, when all this work is ready, I am afraid that the battle will be over. Although the Phantom Legion is the best of the best and its combat effectiveness is unquestionable, this only guarantees that they are faster and more effective than other units in battle, but it does not guarantee that they will be able to survive a deliberate attack.

Moreover, although the Phantom Legion has nominally become part of the bandit army. However, it has only been more than 30 hours since we met with this unit. Not to mention tacit cooperation, even basic trust has not yet been established. One can imagine the doubts of the officers and men of the Phantom Legion when a group of strangers suddenly took over the command of the entire fleet and led the fleet into a disturbing situation.

The eyes of the officers of the Phantom Legion behind him were like a man's back, including Fa Owen and Chell

These two pillars of the Le Lei Space Navy, who have been baptized in air combat for a long time, are a little restless.

The officers of the bandit army were nervously thinking and discussing, and the senior officers of the Phantom Legion were gradually there

Trends in turmoil.

"What are these guys going to do? Knowing that there is an enemy fleet blocking the shipping lane, do you still insist on breaking through and joking with the lives of the big guys? I just don't understand

Just put us under the command of a lieutenant general, and there is nothing to do with General Tony. ”

"We've been captains for so many years, and if we want to be convinced, we have only served General Tony

Person. If these guys can't come up with a way and force themselves forward, Lao Tzu will turn to one hundred and eighty

Degree! Let them play on their own!"

I also turned to disrespectful words. The old man is confused! Changing commanders on the spot is a taboo for soldiers. We have been under the command of General Tony for so many years, and we have long known the bottom line, Tony's orders, I never ask why, and I have exchanged backs with all the brothers here, and I have never put my heart in my stomach. Who knew that now, in dozens of hours, suddenly the command level has changed.

The soldiers don't know the generals and the generals, and this battle can't be fought!"

"It's not just that the soldiers don't know the generals, they don't even know where the enemy is! This is called not knowing oneself and not knowing the other. Fuck, this can win too, Lao Tzu stripped naked and ran naked on my destroyer!"

"Hey, Thomas, I heard that you are also quite depressed from the Lun Staff?"

"Don't mention it. Now we also call it the General Staff? Hey, miscellaneous! All the processes are lost, and the information, data, and intelligence do not need to be processed, and they are directly classified and passed on to the command! We little shrimps are okay, but those in the senior staff are depressed, and they all become liaison officers, and one person is in charge of two warships. It's quite thin, like an arm making a finger, but I don't know if that head has this ability!"

"Hey, dare to love this is true. The liaison officer on my ship told me that Colonel Andrei was personally responsible

I don't believe it yet. I've never seen a senior staff officer as a liaison officer. ”

"Andre used to practice deduction, and that was called a hard work. As a result, this one came out, and it was scrapped

Art. Look, even if we are lucky enough to pass this level, we will be crippled by these gangs and militia sooner or later. ”

"Where's Chief Tony? Why are people gone? Fuck, I must have been afraid that the chief would disobey and lock him up. Look at it. Axe, Garfield, and Diana are not there. I said, if we don't just make a fuss, we can't keep going!"

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and since the marshal has given orders, we have nothing more than to obey. Anyway, let's wait and see. General Tian has a brilliant record, and the Longbow Galaxy, Humphrey's fleet is also folded in his hands, so it should not be so shallow.

For all this, the fat man completely ignored it.

It is a fact that this army is not familiar, and it is also a fact that the staff is temporarily changed in the way it operates,

None of this is a problem, though.

The current Leifeng Star War situation is a delicate moment. If he can put Siyonne on the western front of Phoenix, it is possible to end the Battle of Resque in a short period of time in the future. If they are allowed to break through the defense line, the entire Leifeng Star battle situation will quickly erode, and I don't know how many troops will have to be invested, how much time will be spent, and how many people will be sacrificed in the future before they can be cleaned up again.

Hastings knows this. I know it, Sober knows it, and Yuto Mikami knows it!

Sober sent the Adjudicator troops to Resker to give Yuji Mikami and a Sharp

The dagger tore through the defense line of the Filipino Alliance and expanded the entire battle situation.

And he went to Leifeng Star to block the opponent west of Phoenix City. for the future

Prepare for battle!

Leray didn't have to last long, and every minute he delayed here, the Newton galaxy jumped and there was one more piece of wreckage. Since you have embarked on this road, you can only go down without hesitation and use all your strength to sprint. No matter how dangerous, no matter how hard, no matter how slim, we must strive for even the slightest hope.

Although this fleet has only just been assigned to the bandit army, from the time he got on the ship to the present, these soldiers he has seen have also been strictly trained and cultivated. A soldier who has carved discipline into his bones, and who regards Hastings's orders as holy decrees. Don't look at them making a lot of trouble, just playing Margaret and standing by their side, they can't do anything out of the ordinary.

That's enough! Break through the past, how to integrate this force in the future, and then again

Now the question is, where is the damn Western Fleet?

The fat man's gaze searched the interstellar map. Every environmental mark, every coordinate, and all the text data on the entire interstellar map flow into my mind without leakage, and combine into a clear universe in my mind.

It won't be the oxtail system, it's the closest, the reconnaissance ship has already probed it, and it hasn't been found

Doubt.

Nor will it be Area 81, the three airspaces explored by the reconnaissance ship, which have been determined to be safe. Leaving these three airspace, the adversary has no way to attack when your fleet enters the jump.

Red River Beach Barrier Zone? Where is too crowded. Only suitable for attacks by small forces. Moreover, the enemy

's forces outnumbered them, and they certainly didn't want to waste their troops because of the terrain.

L5 resource planets in the adjacent system? Topographically, it's a perfect fit. However, where is too close to Lei Feng Star. If the absolute control of the airspace of Leifengxiong cannot be guaranteed, and an ambush is set up there, it is likely to be attacked by Qian Berlin's fleet. Once caught in the front and rear attacks, I am afraid that the ambush will not succeed, but will be completely annihilated.

Where could it be?

The fat man's gaze wandered back and forth along the course, and finally landed on the oxtail system, which was the first to be eliminated.

A thought flashed in his mind, and he turned back to Karl and said, "Order the first fleet of the Seventh Fleet of the bandit army to break away from the main formation." Concealed and went out, ordered the thieves No. 2 and No. 3, and immediately conducted repeated reconnaissance of the oxtail system. ”

"Yes!" "Life, stride away."

The seventy-one fleet of the bandit army is not the one that follows behind his ** by ten battleships and forty

I don't know if it should be called a cruiser or a destroyer B-class fleet?

The officers of the Phantom Legion stared blankly out of the window.

With the issuance of the order, dozens of battleships, in tatters, with a ridiculous ramming angle in the bow, accelerated from behind to catch up. Like ← group of flowers, children passed by the mighty Feiyang warship in a chaotic manner and flew into the distance.

The most advanced reconnaissance ships can't find each other, and if you send two battered boats, you can find out the enemy?

Even if they are found, what role can these rags play in front of them?

Does this fat chief want to use these rags as the main force to gain time to respond, or does he want to find an excuse to let his descendants slip away first? Who the knows if these ships will turn around when they get to the front.

In the conference room, the captains of the Phantom Legion looked at each other.

There were so many things that I stayed up until half past four to finish writing. I'm tired.
