Chapter 56: Jubilation
The space carrier [Haomod] is like a huge black shark, quietly suspended in the universe.
Dozens of [Redemption]-class battleships swarmed around the mothership like a swarm of small sharks. Outside the battleship's neat main formation, a mixed formation of hundreds of Havoc-class cruisers and Falcon-class destroyers, as well as larger frigates and high-speed torpedo boats, roamed around in a vast space, like fine sand sprinkled around stones, blown by the wind, rolling densely.
The lights of the ship's cabin blended into the bright stars that Yuzhou could not do, and from a distance, the huge fleet was like a rotating galaxy. It's intoxicating.
In the huge command hall of the flagship, the lights are bright.
Rows of virtual screens, star charts, pictures transmitted back by fighters, scenes of front-line battles in the fleet, battle reports, and system parameters of ships are rapidly rolling and changing.
The staff officers of Fiyan and Chackner traveled back and forth. Standing in the middle of the hall and looking up, the huge space divided into five floors is full of busy people. They may rush to the fore, or they may exchange ears, or they may gather to discuss, or they may shout loudly, or they may bury their heads in calculations......
From the time I knew that the old marshal Li Cunxin was still alive until now, this hall has been busy at the rhythm of going here and now. Everyone here has squeezed their energy to the limit and used their time to the extreme. The entire command system is like a high-speed racing car that has stepped on the accelerator pedal, constantly accelerating along the track. It's not that these staff officers are tireless, but everyone here knows that they can't afford to delay even a second!
Just a few million kilometers away from here, the Allied fleet is fighting a bitter battle with the Western Fleet led by the [Thunder] Super Fleet.
On that vast ground, the 13th Panzer Division and the 51st Mechanized Infantry Division were building fortifications in that town called Sungai Bridge, preparing to meet the onslaught of countless Jepon who had been ruined because of the broken back road!
This star field has become a swirling vortex, the Jeppen, Seuss, Chakna, and Feiyan...... The tens of millions of troops of the four countries are spinning wildly in this vortex.
And at the center of this vortex is that little armored battalion!
Until the plan was advanced to such an extent that the staff officers thought about it as if they were in a dream.
At that time, the 2nd Panzer Division had already appeared only 40 kilometers away from Li Cunxin's headquarters. Everyone knows the combat effectiveness of the Jeppen Royal First Guard Army, and they also know that once they are bitten by this team, the plan to close the door and fight the dog will go bankrupt.
The War Department was fully mobilized, and all the staff officers gathered around the electronic sand table, putting forward one plan after another, while making deductions, no matter how they searched, they could not find a way to get the main force to rush to Shuangxiqiao Town and get rid of the entanglement of the Second Armored Division. Either there is not enough time, or there is not enough strength, or else the place is wrong......
At this time, Li Cunxin's department put forward a plan -- to use an armored battalion disguised as the main force of the Broken Rear Brigade to go north to intervene and attract the Second Armored Division to gain this critical few hours!
This plan quickly sparked controversy in the command. At the same time, after the report was reported to the Allied High Command, there was also a gossip of bickering...... The contrast of forces between the 2nd Panzer Division of the 1st Guards of the Jeppen Royal Army and a battalion belonging to the Chackner 2nd Armored Division can only be described as worlds apart.
It's a complete adventure!
It stands to reason that this plan should be vetoed without hesitation. However, no matter how much it was discussed, no one said a word of veto...... Because, compared to this adventure, the chief that could be achieved is too dazzling.
Winning this battle, the allies will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Blue Wolf Star, and they will be able to open up a second battlefield, laying a solid foundation for winning the battle in the Southeast Star Domain and even winning the entire war!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the elder marshal Li Cunxin led the brothers of the 13th Armored Division and the 51st Mechanized Infantry Division to carry the frequent opportunities for nearly a month. No one is willing to give up easily.
Although Admiral Li Hongwu decided on this plan after holding an emergency meeting with the ground, in fact, everyone knew that Admiral was ready to shoulder all the responsibilities. Once that armored battalion fails, the sixteen armored divisions of the Allied forces will be in danger or even annihilated, which is enough to put the general in court-martial!
It was in the midst of this kind of gain and loss that this plan came into the hands of Hastings.
"Just fight like this, I'll carry the black pot!" A remark from Field Marshal Hastings put a solid insurance against the battle plan that had in fact been initiated!
Now that the army has completed the landing, it is too late to regret it.
The staff officers were busy with the work in hand, and at the same time anxiously waited for the occasional extension, all anxious and worried.
Where did the armored battalion go, what kind of way would the battle begin, whether the enemy would be fooled, and whether that Major General Lelei named Tian Xingjian could complete this decoy that would go down in history
All questions remain unanswered.
Until now, the fighter group on the front line has not received the agreed signal from the armored battalion, let alone sent back any pictures and messages.
Wave after wave of fighters entered the atmosphere, hovered in the air and waited, and after exhausting their energy, they were replaced by another wave of fighters.
The armored battalion will only signal after completing the attraction mission and letting the 2nd Panzer Division follow up with all its members. Only by receiving their signal can the group appear and launch an attack on the 2nd Panzer Division. Otherwise, the premature appearance of the aircraft group will interfere with the enemy's judgment of the strength and intentions of the armored battalion.
Anxious waiting is undoubtedly the most unbearable torment in the world.
The atmosphere is getting more and more tense as time goes on! When everyone passes by the center console again, they can't help but turn their heads to look at the dozens of virtual screens on the left side of the center console. On those screens, there is real-time footage transmitted back by front-line fighters.
White clouds glided like strands of cotton on both sides of the nose and flew across the fuselage wings and drifted backwards.
"It's already a cordon ahead, it seems that we have waited in vain, let's go, change the next wave." In the communication channel, the voice of the wingman was heard.
Chen Tao turned his head and looked at the wingman on the side through the electronic goggles on his helmet: "Slow down, wait again"
"Wait a dozen more seconds?" In the transparent cockpit of the wingman, Xie Gang, his partner for many years, shook his helmet, and the black goggles reflected the sunlight.
Chen Tao looked at the instrument on the console of the fighter, and it was already very close to the cordon. The cordon cannot be crossed under any circumstances until the signal is received. He looked at the radar, and behind him, the remaining fifty-eight fighters of a full six squadrons were following him closely in a neat triangle.
"Okay" Chen Tao sighed regretfully, and reached out to dial the signal button for the collective return.
At the moment when his fingertips had already touched the signal button, suddenly, a red light lit up on the special signal on the instrument panel. Immediately after that, another one. Three red lights in a row turn green at the same time!
"Do you see that?" The silence in the communication channel made Chen Tao feel a little unreal.
"See!" With Xie Gang's shout, a burst of cheers broke out in the entire communication channel.
Three red lights turn to green lights, mission success, unlimited attack!
A burst of electric current instantly swept through Chen Tao's whole body, he quickly locked the signal direction, held the control stick of the fighter tightly with his hand, pushed forward violently, and shouted: "Keep up with me!" ”
"Understood!" In the sound of neat answers, the tail thrusters of sixty air-based fighters flashed at the same time, and the group of planes roared like a wave of off-string arrows, through the clouds, towards the northern part of the Frings agricultural area.
Mountains and rivers swept swiftly under the belly of the plane, and after a few seconds, the group had broken through the cordon. The closer they got to the war zone, the more the pilots felt their blood boiling. The three green lights on the special signal of the fighter plane filled them with strength.
Dozens of criss-crossing trenches swept by, which was a half-finished jungle that had been temporarily dug by the Jeppen Panzer Division when it was stationed, and the fallen trees and the wreckage of dozens of mechs swept by like a line stretching for several kilometers, small highlands and a canyon, and countless mecha wreckage was layered on top of each other, like a mecha grave
Radar alarms suddenly sounded, and dozens of missiles soared into space from the distant mountains.
"Free evasion, unlimited attack!" After Chen Tao gave the order, he drove the fighter plane to pull up sharply, and after throwing out two decoy missiles and rolling to avoid the missiles with his skillful flying skills, he saw through the cockpit that on the tumbling ground below, thousands of Jiepeng mecha clusters were like migrating beasts, flying forward.
In front of the billowing dust of the mecha group, more than 200 red mechs are jumping through the jungle over the creek and over the hills, all the way wild!
Between the Jeppen mecha and the red mecha, ten white mechs were running and occasionally stopping to reflexively attack the mecha group in front of the Jeppen armored division. Every time it causes chaos.
In the communication channel of "one regiment, two regiments, three regiments", Xie Gang's excited voice came: "There is another regiment in the west that is approaching this side. The whole division, their whole division is here! ”
"Long live Chacna!" Like dozens of petrels soaring through the sky, Chackner's fighter jets staggered in the air and swooped down towards the ground.
The earth was rapidly enlarged on the main screen of the huge center console, and when the air-to-ground missiles and airborne energy cannons set off mushroom clouds in the Jeppen armored cluster, the command hall of the flagship Hermode was already full of jubilation!
