, Heidfield, like a giant whale, quietly suspended in the void. Brilliant starlight, sprinkled on her streamlined steel hull, reflected a cold light like frost.

Allied officers and men often leaned against the railing of the bridge with their chins propped up, staring intently at their flagship, standing for a long time.

No one knows when the signal lights of this battleship, which has gathered everyone's eyes and expectations, will be lit. I don't know that at this moment, the West Space Fighter Cluster is approaching the atmosphere of the Green Planet again and again, and it turns back again and again. Cruising back and forth like a shark, "Admiral Tian Xingjian is ready to take the fleet to where it goes." Each battleship, as usual, maintained a first level of combat readiness. However, after waiting for so long in a confused and pessimistic atmosphere, the officers and men all looked a little listless.

The main gunner took the rag and wiped it east and west, and wiped all the instruments in the entire main gun compartment clean and shiny. The pilots, dressed in combat uniforms and holding helmets, sat on benches in the pre-war mission room and took a nap.

The staff officers dealt with the matter at hand in the most inefficient way. For a trivial matter, "I was even willing to take a trip on the prism machine myself."

Even the captains were not in the command seat, but locked themselves in the captain's room and drank alcohol.

The soldiers on duty have nothing to do, and the officers and soldiers on rotation are even more boring. They either lie down in the rest pod and sleep "watching TV." Or sit in the cafeteria with a spoon for hours, and while you are distracted, you will stir up the rice on your plate. In the living area, you can see people sitting in a daze in the water bar, on the garden bench or on the bridge terrace.

The once hustle and bustle of bars, billiards, and games rooms are now empty. Despite idleness, no one has the heart to have fun. Ever since the defeat at the Battle of Twin Horns and the news of Hastings' serious illness has spread throughout the fleet, everyone feels that their hearts are empty. It's as if someone has taken away the backbone that has always supported him.

Touching his heart, he said, "No one in this fleet is afraid of war.

Although the commander of the enemy was Sober, for these soldiers, who had long put life and death on the line, "it was not at all their consideration."

As long as there is someone in command, as long as the flagship gives the order to rush forward. Not to mention Shanbaier, even if it is in the face of death, they will throw away all fear in an instant, and hesitate to turn into a tiger descending from the mountain and pounce on it!

What they are afraid of is the confusion of the unknown road ahead!

This kind of waiting day is a kind of torment for everyone.

“***。 To fight or not? If you want to fight us, you will go out and fight with the mongrels of Western Covenant, and if you don't fight, we will break up quickly. What's the matter of staying in this ghost place that doesn't touch the world and doesn't touch the ground! ”

"I think the marshal is also sick and confused, and he chose such a stinky guy to be the commander. How old is that guy, twenty-seven or twenty-eight? Not as old as my son! ”

"Fuck your mother, your kid is only thirty-four this year, and you have a son at the age of six or seven? Is it hard to get up? ”

"Lao Tzu is very talented! Can't you?! ”

"He's a general! You have been mixed in the power compartment for more than ten years" The captain took care of it before being promoted to major. Even if it's your grandson, you have to listen to others! It's not that I said you, "Your life is ruined by your stinky mouth and crotch!" ”

"The military rank is a fart, Lao Tzu wants to be comfortable! In terms of technology, the 183 fleet has searched all over the world, who the dares to call it the first in front of Lao Tzu? Born with a bad mouth, my mom farted when she gave birth to me!

It's not pleasing to the eye, "Don't talk about the general, even the marshal Lao Tzu scolds him!"

Also, don't talk about Lao Tzu's crotch, being a soldier and fighting, there is no tomorrow today. Lao Tzu is looking for a woman, take off your pants and give money, you love me, "no one owes anyone!" When he came to God, he didn't dare to punish Lao Tzu to hell for this! ”

"Enough of you two, why are you going so far, wait honestly! Whether to fight or go, there is always an idea. It's the capital of the Lelei people, "People aren't in a hurry, you guys make a fart!" ”

Voices like these permeate every corner of the fleet every day. No matter which theater of war they come from, which member state, the fighters are just as impetuous and anxious.

However, "there are exceptions.

Compared with the coalition officers and soldiers, the bandit soldiers in blue uniforms looked much calmer and calmer.

Although they were on different warships, "it is rare to meet each other." However, intelligence officers, communications officers, and logistical and mechanical maintenance personnel on each ship would often travel between the different Allied fleets on the prisms to "exchange communication codes, information, request logistical supplies, or request repair parts." In the past ten days, they have not had a lot of contact with the bandits.

Although many people have prejudices against the bandit army since they went south, when the bandit fleet gave the Xiyue people a ferocious dismount in the Shuangxingjiao corridor, which greatly increased the prestige and morale of the allies, everyone's opinion of the bandit army became much calmer.

In addition, all the way to retreat here, it was basically the bandit army picking up sorghum. After several ambushes and critical moments, this elusive fleet has repeatedly made war exploits. By now, no one has listened to the nonsense rumors and used these tough guys as militia rookies.

Capturing Humphrey and defeating Obuun" defeated Sheldon and defeated Banning, the dazzling aura of these famous Western Covenant generals is now on the head of the bandit army, which is impossible to watch! If such a fleet can also be called a militia rookie, then these so-called elite fleets of the Filipino Alliance may have to find a black hole to plunge into it!

Those politicians, who never go to the front line, "only know that they open their mouths wide in the back and grin.

They know a fart!

Soldiers are not politicians, and they don't have so many jealousy and intrigues to fight for power. There may be a few people in the military who consider problems from different angles, but for the officers and soldiers below, strength is respect, rules, and everything! It's all about their heads, and who doesn't want to have a companion who is both strong and can trust each other?

On the battlefield, someone might be able to save your life one day!

Whether it's jealousy or prejudice, you can play eggs in the face of strength, who has the ability, who is Lao Can, who is not convinced, go up to challenge, beat people with a blue nose and swollen face, everyone will obey you! If you don't have the ability to stand next to you and speak coldly, you are uncomfortable! Falling asleep and walking with a pocket covered can beat you up ten times a day!

Besides, these are the war years! No matter how stupid a person is, he should understand that if he is mixed like this in the army, he is doomed to not live until the end of the war!

The army has always been a place where the strong and heroes are admired. Since the outbreak of the war, these officers and men of the fleet, who have been sailing alone in endless space forever, have never thought that they could leave a whole corpse. On weekdays, drinking and fighting, violating military discipline is commonplace, "On the battlefield, it is also a ruthless person who enters with a white knife and a red knife comes out without blinking his face, and dares to drive a battleship directly into the enemy ship."

If you want to win their respect, there is only one way, and that is to be stronger, more ruthless, and more desperate than them!

Not to mention the bandit army's fighting, just talking about the calm energy of these guys, just looking at their daily lectures and exercises, can make the most unruly coalition soldiers also feel broken.

When did you go to the ship of the bandit army, didn't you see these guys sweating training? When did you not feel the hectic and aggressive atmosphere?

On the intensity of training, "People can frighten the white hats of Feiyang's double-headed eagles!"

In terms of discipline, this Mars militia is ten times better than the most elite fleet! The order is forbidden to be vigorous and resolute, and any order can be executed the fastest and best in the shortest possible time.

When you are the captain of these warships, that's called easy!

People are like that. At first, I listened to rumors and looked down on each other, but when I found out the true strength of the other party, there were stubborn prejudices, and there were repetitions, and finally I was convinced, and I was more respectful and awe than ordinary admirers.

Unconsciously, the bandit fleet on the left side of the command cluster has become the leader of the entire Southeast Alliance Fleet in the eyes of the people!

As the flagship of the new generation of the bandits, the Bandits, the Doomsday, class space carrier, the President Hamilton, "is much larger than the other nine." Not only is the defense twice as high, "the number of carrier-based aircraft is also a thousand more."

One, Lightning Falcon! The fighter jet ejected a catapult channel.

Nia, who was piloting the fighter, gently pulled the control stick, and the fighter rolled in the air, rushing straight over the four fighters that had been waiting for a long time.

Four fighters, at the same time increasing the thrust of the tail thrusters, quickly followed. In the blink of an eye, the five fighters had formed a standard herringbone five-plane formation and rushed into the strangulation battle group of hundreds of space fighters not far away.

"Colonel Nia is so handsome!"

On the terrace of the bridge, more than 20 officers raised their heads and "watched the training of the bandit pilots."

Among them "there were operational staff officers from the base camp: there were maintenance officers with automatic maintenance arms on their arms: there were pilots in combat uniforms and helmets: and several young captains." Several female staff officers pointed to the red-headed fighter plane that had just led the fighter to join the battle group, and the bow was sprayed like a red-crowned crane.

Everybody knows "That's the new Super Ace pilot who just shot down the hundredth time in the previous battle, Nia." At the same time, "she is also one of the bosses who often accompany the fat man and is recognized by the bandit soldiers."

Since putting on the pilot's uniform again, "Captain of the First Fighter Group of President Hamilton", Nia has earned the respect of all pilots with her talent and hard work.

She is highly skilled and calm. At critical moments, "you can always see the red-headed fighter rushing to the front, biting the tail of the enemy's plane, and turning it into a volley of fire."

Now Nia has become a symbol of the bandit pilot.

As long as they see that the red fighter plane is still fighting, the pilots will never back down and will not get tired.

Catherine stood quietly by the porthole. Hold on to the railing with both hands.

More than three years ago, she was just a cadet who had just entered the military academy. And now, the childishness on her face has subsided, and the girl's figure has become taller and plump, and under the distant mountain-like eyebrows, her eyes are smart and calm. The large white brimmed military hat on her head and the beautiful uniform on her body indicate that she is already the commander of a destroyer.

From the Garry Paran Military Academy to an operations staff officer who "followed Russell's Tibetan Front fleet out of Leray" to join the bandit army, Catherine experienced and witnessed the most painful and darkest moments of the Leray Federation. However, whether the Le Ray Federation was forced to withdraw from Bermuda, or later left the capital with the Tibetan Front fleet, she never lost confidence.

She always believed that one day "the fat chief would lead them to victory in this war." Those who have the same belief as her are these young officers beside her at this moment!

Catherine turned her head to look.

Today, it is rare that these classmates, who are hardly seen in ordinary times, have gathered together.

The big-headed young man closest to her was named Wang Fuxing, "The thorn in the fat man's mechanic training camp is now the leader of the second group of the damage management department of the President Hamilton, with the rank of lieutenant colonel."

Originally, standing next to Wang Fuxing were Freckled Mike and Charlie, the man with glasses, "These two are also the proud disciples of the fat chief in the machine repair training camp." Now one is in his own, the singing of the lark, the destroyer Ping Pong is the deputy director of the power compartment, and the other is in, the eagle in the clouds! The destroyer works in the logistics maintenance department. All are with the rank of major.

However, "because of the appearance of his good friend" Admiral Tian Xingjian, the communications staff officer of the space carrier Angela, Wang Fuxing drove away the two brothers who rarely met very unrighteously, and surrounded Angela to curry favor with him.

Seeing Angela's reserved and joyful look, seeing Mike and Charlie glaring at Wang Fuxing next to him, and then seeing the veteran Corey a little farther away, Hank, a former mechanic training camp instructor, and a group of male classmates who have gradually revealed maturity and perseverance between their eyebrows, "A group of female classmates who are still like birds chirp when they meet each other, and make a fuss about everything" Catherine's face showed a warm smile.

Among the millions of officers and men of the hundreds of armies of the Allied forces, each and every one of them is as small as dust and sand in the desert.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fleet, and it is not an exaggeration to count it as a huge city. On weekdays, the chances of people being able to meet are pitifully small, and a coincidence like today's may not happen in a few decades.

Unless you have leisure time after the war to be able to meet together.

Thinking of the aftermath of the war, Catherine couldn't help but sigh softly.

The vast and solid earth, the fresh natural air, the warm sunshine"The clean and tidy side streets, the quaint small buildings, the wooden fences and the open-air cafes under the umbrellas, these old familiar and almost neglected life, will come back?

Millions of kilometers away, the Sobo fleet's swarm of space fighters "has been blackened over the capital."

If you don't defeat the god-like Western Covenant general, "Lelei, there will never be freedom and peace!"

Will this battle be won or lost? After the battle, how many of the companions here will survive, and then talk like they are now." Laughing and playing like a child.

It seems that it won't be long before the people around me will silently lose one or two.

Although everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it when they met, "whenever they separated, everyone's eyes always carried care and nostalgia for each other."

It seems that every time you say goodbye, it is a parting of life and death.

"What's wrong?" Sensing that Catherine is in a bad mood," Angela asked, smiling, as she walked over and grabbed her arm.

Catherine shook her head and smiled, "Nothing. ”

"You...... Angela didn't ask, turned her gaze out, and suddenly excitedly pointed to the space fighter group that was training in actual combat and shouted??? Look, Colonel Nia shot down another one! Wow "She's really my idol, she's amazing!" Sister Nia, come on! ”

"You two, hurry up and find a time to get married." Catherine was not distracted by Angela's deliberate cheers. She was silent, "Suddenly said to Angela and Wang Fuxing who came over.

"Married?" Angela was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned crimson and glared at Wang Fuxing: "Who wants to marry him." I'm only twenty-two and a half! ”

Wang Fuxing was also stunned, but he didn't speak, but closed his mouth smartly, and Catherine suddenly mentioned this matter with a simple face, how could Angela not know her thoughts?

She sighed, took Catherine's hand and said, "Catherine, don't think too much. With Fat Sir, we will win! ”

She pointed behind her, and drew a large circle with her fingers: "Look at our Doomsday-class space carrier, such a powerful defense "Loading 3,600 fighters" is equivalent to three super mothers, does Sober have it?" ”

"Besides, our warships can still be separated. A space carrier, the attack power of the split is equivalent to a B-class fleet. "Even if it's a first-class fleet, it can't resist it!" "Look at our warriors again. Whether it is the Lelei or the Mars, which one is not iron-hearted to unite around the fat chief" to win this battle? She said and glanced at Wang Fuxing next to her: "Let's just say that Wang Fuxing and a few of them usually look like they are in a good position, and they are not upright like the fat chief." But these days, they are really working and training hard, and they don't know how much meat they have lost! ”

Catherine smiled. Angela actually knows better than anyone else what she said.

Since the formation of the army, the group of bandits has never stopped growing. Everyone in the group is desperately moving forward. No one wants to be left behind.

Take the mecha warriors of the bandit army as an example, whether it is an ordinary recruit or a mecha god of war, the high-intensity mecha control training time is as much as five hours a day. The rest of the time is also allocated four hours of tactical coordination, three hours of physical training, two hours of hand speed training and one hour of technique theory!

The same goes for the other members.

The crew of the battleship piloted the battleship for tactical evasion, and the time to seize the attack position and fire the salvo of the main gun was increased by second after second. The formation changes and tactical changes of the fighter pilots have reached the point of perfection, and they have also shot out the ejection channel again and again, "chasing each other in space and biting their tails", and "practicing escort" assaults, strangulations, and scuffles.

The gunners in the main gun compartment look at the fire control screen every day and read words in their mouths, manually calculate the coordinates and distances, and reduce the error just for the moment when the electronic fire control system may fail because it is hit or interfered with in battle!

The members of the damage management team ran wild in the corridor when they had nothing to do. Drill emergency repair, fire fighting. Heavy parts and machines are taken out of the warehouse and put back in, and once trained, "people will take off a layer of skin."

Even those seemingly idle staff officers spend all night frowning and meditating in front of the electronic sand table and deduction computer every day in order to get a data or come up with a better battle plan.

It's very hard, it's very tired, but no one flinchs and is lazy!

Since the formation of the bandit army, "Humphrey, Belleff", Obuun, Sheldon, and Banning, every member of the bandit army has naturally developed a sense of pride and a sense of mission for this group!

Everyone firmly believes that "in this troubled era, the only one who can save Lelei" and even save the Filipino Alliance is this army!

is very arrogant" but it is the firm and unshakable belief of every bandit officer and soldier!

Because of this belief, they gritted their teeth all the way to the present. Even if Hastings was defeated in the Double Star Corner Corridor and retreated all the way here" When the coalition officers and soldiers were flustered and confused, the bandit officers and soldiers did not hesitate at all.

As long as there is a fat chief, as long as this army has not collapsed, Sobo will not be able to win!

It's training or training, it's time to rest, it's time to eat, it's exactly the same as usual.

Everyone is holding their breath and getting ready for the final battle!

"I'm waiting for the war to be won" to marry Angela. Wang Fuxing, who was on the side, said to Catherine with a smile: "I will give her a grand wedding after full preparation." Instead of getting married in a hurry at this time. ”

"Phew." Angela spat Wang Fuxingyi. His face flushed, but he did not refute it.

"Why hasn't the sir moved until now?" Catherine looked at the two and diverted the subject.

As a high-achieving student in the command department" and the captain of a destroyer, she understands the horror of Sober better than Wang Fuxing. However, at this time, she didn't want everyone's mood to become heavy.

This is especially true for a topic like marriage, which is supposed to be full of joy and happiness.

"Don't worry, sir, surely," Angela had just said, when suddenly, a notice of fleet assembly sounded on the battleship announcement, and at the same time, the bow signal light flashed "A flag was raised from the hatch that opened automatically.

"It's the flagship flag!" Everyone pointed out the window and shouted.

The appearance of this flag means that the fat man will take the Hamilton as the flagship of the Southeast Alliance!

"The battle is about to begin!"

When the battle sirens sounded as scheduled.

The young people of Gariparan College "hugged goodbye one by one.

After giving her last companion a hug, Catherine strode to the levitating elevator leading to the harbor. Before the elevator door could close, tears welled up in his eyes.

In the hazy field of vision, "the crowd of people on the terrace is running to different destinations.

I don't know how many people will survive this battle!

Looking at the vigorous and energetic figures, Catherine said silently in her heart.

"Alive! Let's celebrate the victory together! ”

The council watched the ship," people whispered in groups, looking up at the big screen from time to time.

From the location of the spaceship, Leray's capital star is densely packed with Western coalition warships. At first glance, it looks like a huge light bulb crawling with ants.

The main force of the Western Covenant Fleet and the Fengyang command cluster are located in the shadow of the largest companion star of the Capital Star, the Blue Moon, on the side of the star. The two sides stretch out "like two large pincers of a crab, sandwiching the capital star in the middle." On the outer shipping lanes, "a chain of defenses, more than eighty fleets, like schools of sharks, cruising back and forth."

And between the Westward fleet and the capital star, eight, the emperor! Giant transports and several, Ark, medium-sized transports, already under the escort of destroyers and cruisers, have made their debut at a distance of 100,000 kilometers from the planet's atmosphere. The twelve huge fighter clusters almost overwhelmed the breakthrough line formed by the ruins of the airport.

Everyone understands that "as soon as that line is crossed, it means that the battle in the atmosphere begins."

However, "the several back-and-forth of the Western Covenant fighter cluster also loosened the tension in the viewing hall a little. Even though I knew that the big war was just around the corner, I had been looking forward to it for so long, "Even if I can still maintain my spirit, my body will inevitably be a little tired." For a while, everyone only chatted with people they knew well.

The topic of chatting is naturally inseparable from this battle.

And a dispute that happened in the corner not long ago has also become one of the topics.

Except for some Western people who help their own people to speak, the officials and reporters of neutral countries are all on the basis of facts. While appreciating the accuracy of the reporter's prediction by Harriman, he also ridiculed the fact that several Western reporters centered on the female reporter did not know anything about space combat, not only did they not know that the fighter plane was just a temptation and lure, but they also boasted that they would take the atmosphere in two hours.

Although everyone's voices were small and there was some distance between them, the joke-like eyes made the female reporter and others in Xiyue take in the eyes. The three Harriman "became more and more resentful."

Harriman: "What are we Allies doing right now?" Berg didn't bother to pay attention to the resentful eyes of the people of Celestial Covenant, and asked with some anxiety: "The enemy's warplane swarm has approached the atmosphere several times. They are still holding their ground. Are you really going to let the enemy in? That's the capital of the Levet Federation! I don't know how many people will die again! ”

"It should be soon" Harriman frowned slightly, "Looking at the time: "The coalition forces are not strong enough, maybe they want to use the army's air force to drag down the space fighters of Xiyo." ”

He said, muttered for a while, clapped his hands lightly, and said, "It should be like this." The ** parties of the Western Covenant are all headed by the Binarte Empire. This is true even for the development of the army structure and military technology. Their own R&D and manufacturing capabilities are weak, and they basically buy mature technologies from the Binarte Empire or authorize imitations. ”

"The Binalte Empire is inferior to Feiyan and Chackner in terms of fighter technology. However, there are unique features in the technology of battleships and naval guns. It has always been in the mode of big ships and cannons. The salvo power of the battleship's main array is unparalleled in the world. In terms of carrier-based aircraft and space carriers, it is weaker. Its Elephant-class fleet has the strength of three to six class fleets, but it has only one space carrier and only 1,200 carrier-based aircraft! ”

Harriman stared at the West Fleet on the screen, and continued, "Although there were nearly two hundred A-class fleets when Sober went south, "in the battle of the Twin Star Corridor and the Jump Point, he lost about thirty A-class fleets, and counting those Allied fleets with one space carrier in one fleet, the number of motherships he has on hand now is only between eighty and a hundred." ”

"And our allies, in addition to the standard one-class fleet and one mothership, Feiyang's double-headed eagle fleet is equipped with two space carriers. And the bandit army has ten more spacecarriers, doomsday, class space carriers. In terms of the number of fighters, we are still far above the Western Army! ”

"Now, the strategy adopted by our coalition forces is to wait for the Xiyue people to throw their fighters into the battle in the atmosphere. Without the help of space fighters, the Celestial would not have been able to open a passage for the giant transport ship, and the landing would have been merely on paper. Therefore, sooner or later they will throw fighters into it. At this time, it is the best time for our coalition fleet to attack. ”

"I understand that our coalition forces want to use the advantage of fighters to make up for the lack of troops. However, Ren Shang on the side put on his glasses and asked curiously, "Why didn't Sober annihilate our coalition fleet first, and then come back to land?" Or, let the space fighters pretend to break into the atmosphere first and wait until the coalition fleet appears" and then come back. ”

"It's not the same here as it is on the waterway. Although the waterway is wide, it is "full of danger zones and no man's land." Once driven out of the channel and lost the jump channel, a half-hour jump journey would take the battleship ten days and half a month to fly out. Therefore, fighting in such a place as Double Star Cape, the coalition forces can only retreat. ”

Harriman shook his head slightly and explained.

"These systems of immigrants in Leray are different. Thousands of years of development have cleared a large number of waterways. Coupled with the fact that there is a traffic between Bermuda and the Newton system, "it will not be easy for Sobol to capture the coalition forces. And taking the capital star as its forward base, in addition to obtaining supplies to stabilize the occupation, and then radiate the entire southeast. What's more, he can use this to force our coalition forces to fight a decisive battle with him! ”

For him, the space fighter attacking the atmosphere is to give our coalition forces a little opportunity and advantage, but "in terms of total strength, he still has the absolute upper hand." If he can use this to force our coalition forces to fight against him, he will earn it. After all, if the fighter cannot enter the strangulation distance, it will not be able to play its role. With his command ability, ......

Harriman sighed faintly and shook his head. After a long time, he continued: "As for the fighter plane entering the atmosphere and coming back, this assumption cannot be established. Our allied commanders are not stupid either, if the land-based fighters of the army had not entangled the enemy, they would still not have appeared! ”

Ren Shang and Berg glanced at each other, thought about it carefully, and both nodded in agreement with Harriman's judgment.

"So", Berg turned his head to look at the screen: "Xiyo has tried a few times and understood the strategy of my allies, and their landing battle is about to start." ”

"Yes," Harriman said when a few fiery fireworks burst out on the screen.

Everyone looked up, and on the farsight device, "The Western Covenant fighter group has overwhelmingly rushed through the abandoned airport" and entered the atmosphere. And in the atmosphere, endless anti-aircraft artillery fire, missiles and thousands of land-based fighters have been rushing up! Before the two sides could meet each other, several warplanes were destroyed in the dense artillery fire and turned into meteors that flew to the ground.

Time passed minute by minute.

Half an hour later, when all of the Western Fleet fighters had already been engaged in the battle in the atmosphere, a Fijian warship, with a flickering white light, appeared first at the end of the jump passage on the periphery of the Western Fleet's defense chain.

In the viewing hall, everyone held their breath.

They saw that "behind this Fijian Alliance warship, countless steel giants are coming with murderous energy!" ……！
