Chapter 43: How Did You Get Back?

How did Chapter 43 of Volume 10 come back?

In the boundless starry sky, the huge bodies of warships slid by, obscuring the light of the distant stars.

From below, the battleships that fill the sky look like countless giant whales swimming in the blue sea. They swarmed, ** high columns of water, breaking through the sparkling waves.

The planets, asteroid belts, or stardust that pass along the way, are as dim as the coral reefs of the ocean floor that are shaded by schools of whales on the water. Only after the battleships chasing each other at high speed left that they once again shone in the invisible light of the black void.

The fleet that obscured the sky and the sun stretched out for tens of thousands of kilometers. Whether it was the Fiji Alliance battleship fighting and retreating in front or the Western Covenant battleship chasing after the rear, the speed was increased to the peak.

These steel sharks pulled straight trajectories through the stardust, cleaving waves in the asteroid belt, chasing each other at high speeds and firing at each other.

A Fiyan warship had just been put into distress when the two Western cruisers besieging it exploded and shattered.

As soon as one Western fleet was surrounded by the deliberately backward Fyan fleet, the other Western fleet had already rushed towards it like a frenzied herd of rhinoceros.

Thousands of space fighters flew like frightened swarms.

These space killers, who were extremely fast and had very small targets, were suddenly released as the space carriers surrounded by the fleet were released at high speed, rushed into the formation of the enemy fleet and opened fire wantonly, and suddenly they were recalled by Skynet, and one after another disappeared under the bright energy shield of the advancing aircraft carrier.

The entire universe was illuminated by the meteor-like energy cannon light between the battleships and the battleships.

The white, red mass of light, burning, dragging its long tail, swept through the black void. When they hit the ship, a larger and brighter light would light up, and the debris fragments from the explosion would spread out in all directions.

Outside the porthole of the flagship command room, another huge white light lit up, illuminating the hall transparently.

Banning's grim face was half-lit and half-dark in this sudden glow, and it looked like the Grim Reaper who appeared by the traveler's fire in the silence of the night.

"General" Mandanda stood up from the console under Banning's command, walked quickly to Banning's side, and handed over a document marked as top secret: "This is the casualty report that has just been counted. ”

Banning opened the file with a blank face. Even though he was mentally prepared, his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the document.

According to the report, in less than ten hours since the start of the attack on the Metis system, the own fleet has lost more than ten *-class fleets, most of which were slaughtered by the bandit fleet that rushed into the formation during the stagnation period after passing through the jump point.

During that period of time, when the Western fleet was powerless, the damned Filipino coalition took advantage of it

Banning took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger. However, the air inhaled into the lungs burned as if it had met the pure oxygen of a flame. He tried his best to resist the urge to smash the folder on the ground, and gritted his teeth

Looking at Banningtie's angular cheeks because of his clenched teeth, the solemn Mandanda was in awe and feeling for a while.

As a key nurture for the Naga Federal military, Mandanda has always prided himself on his talent and talent that sets him apart from his peers. In his opinion, becoming a generation of famous players is not the result of twenty or thirty years of hard work. Maybe in this war, he will be able to become one of the famous generals with a beautiful battle

However, when he followed Banning into this battle, he found that compared with Russell, Banning, and famous generals like Goode, he was still a rookie who didn't know the height of the sky

To be honest, Banning didn't play well before that, and even had some.

Before arriving at Desik, his forward fleet was defeated by Emperor Desik, Frank. Bidru's stupidity and for nothing buried six *-class fleets. At the same time, unable to determine the location of the bandit army's stealth fleet, he had to let Goode lead the fleet to hit the Metis jump point again and again, trying to force the opponent's hidden fleet out at the cost of heavy sacrifices

And the news of the attack on the capital of Desik by the bandit fleet put the entire Western Forward Fleet in a state of confusion generated by extreme resentment.

The officers and men of the Western Fleet, who had opposed the refueling tactics from the outset, were outraged in the fleet's Freedom Channel. The noisy words were nothing more than how wise they were, and how stupid Naga would be to carefully attack the jump point with refueling tactics

Mandanda felt that if it was herself, she would have lost her mind a long time ago. However, these gossips did not have any effect on Banning.

The number one Naga general, who overwhelmed Libgaut, was only so calm that he almost coldly suppressed the cries of attack in the fleet. It wasn't until the exact size and quantity of the bandit fleet attacking Desik's capital came from the rear that he finally made the decision to give up on rescuing Desik and attack the Metis system with all his might.

The battle, from the first moment of the advance fleet of Goode rushed out of the jump point, it entered the white heat.

It seems that the bandit fleet, which had already known that the other side would attack with all its might, had adopted a long-range defense in the previous battles, but this time it actually adopted a close-range oppressive attack.

Two Chakner fleets, one Fyan group, smashed into the Western Fleet group, which was in a period of stagnation, from three directions, and opened fire indiscriminately. The main formation led by Russell, who was on the front, also approached less than 1,000 kilometers to the end of the jump area to attack.

At such a distance, the role of the fleet's missiles and fighters played a full role. They don't even have to take up the attack position, adjust the bow and formation, they just need to keep firing. Naturally, one Western fleet after another appeared in front of their guns after the leaping white light

At that time, Mandanda felt that the cold sweat on her back was even soaking through her clothes.

Banning didn't show his demeanor, but Russell on the other side gave him his first lesson

You must know that although the attack power of this close-range oppressive attack of the Feiyang fleet is strong, it puts the defender itself in a dangerous situation because of the close distance. Unless it is judged that the attacking fleet's jump is a concentrated jump that can achieve greater results, no one wants to rush up and fight

He simply could not imagine how Russell knew that the Western fleet would launch a full-scale offensive and change tactics to adopt concentrated jumps. He only knew that Russell's command had brought out two hundred percent of the oppressive style of the Filipino fleet.

Every salvo they fired, every rhythm of fighter releases and retractions, every route of the fleet, fueled their slaughter like gasoline. If he had led the fleet, he might have been defeated by Russell's knife-sharp attack.

Banning, on the other hand, calmly issued orders from beginning to end, turning the tide of the battle little by little. Eventually, the Seeyo fleet survived the jump stagnation and broke through the jump point.

And what made Mandanda couldn't help but be angry was that when the Western Covenant warships lit up their energy shields, the Filipino Alliance warships, which were originally biting like vicious dogs, stayed away from the war zone one after another. Russell, who had always used his soldiers extremely hard and paid great attention to his reputation, actually ran away

Judging from the scene, he didn't think about defending the Metis system at all. Everything before was just a trap set by him by taking advantage of Xiyue's caution, in order to take advantage of the opportunity and lose a little more of Xiyue's vitality

Thinking of the scene at that time, thinking of the various voices of those coalition officers and soldiers in the fleet channel, not to mention Banning, even Mandanda, who was standing next to him, was still angry.

The kind of grievance caused by being pressed to the ground and having a blue nose and swollen face, and looking like he was about to get up and fight back against his opponent but ran away is really difficult to keep his sanity.

The only thing to be thankful for may be the fierce advance of the Gude Division, which took the lead in ending the jump, before the main force of the Filipino Alliance was about to escape.

That was the second lesson Mandanda learned in this battle. The teacher is Goode.

At that time, Russell's command cluster was only a thousand kilometers away from the airspace of the jump point. Immediately after surviving the standstill, the Goode fleet plunged directly between Russell's command cluster and Chackner's Thirteenth Fleet with a ferocious and swift interlude.

Judging from the situation of the battle, it is not wise for Goode to intersperse and put his Storm Bear fleet in danger of advancing alone. But in fact, it was this almost frantic cut that forced Chacner's 13th fleet, which had been moving closer to the central cluster, to turn around and delay the retreat.

It was these few minutes that allowed the West Fleet to slowly approach the Russell fleet in the subsequent chase and bite it to the death

The battle of jumping space, Russell and Goode made a deep impression on Mandanda.

And in the ensuing battle, it was Banning who shone brightly. Not only did he have a deeper sense of awe for Banning, but even the officers of the fleets of the Western Compact member states, who were picking their noses and eyes, gradually shut their mouths and obeyed in the battle that followed.

First of all, after fighting the only bandit armada* in Russell's hands, they admitted that they were right to add fuel without knowing where the main force of the bandit army was going.

Because through the battle, they knew what a group of fierce opponents were piloting such advanced warships

The Bandit Warships appear to possess an extremely advanced engine capable of providing their energy shield with twice as many energy-neutralizing units as the most advanced warships currently in the West. Even if the main gun attack of the Binalt battleship was used, it would take four ships to fire a salvo and hit at the same time to cause its energy shield to collapse.

If it is such a cannon shot, with the recovery speed of the energy shield of the bandit warship, as long as the energy is not exhausted, it will not be able to be destroyed for a day.

And when its energy shield collapses, it doesn't mean that it can be destroyed. Although the metal materials and thickness of their battleship's armor were not much stronger than those of other warships of the Filipino Alliance, their split structure brought greater survivability to the battleship.

Usually, after the middle or tail thrusters of the battleship are penetrated, they will either lose their combat effectiveness or lose power. But the bandit warships are different. When the Celestial ships managed to break down their energy shields, the ensuing attacks were able to blast through the armor shells, but they could not de-strain them.

That's the protective power of their unique split structure. Their engine systems don't appear to be in one location, but rather are made up of multiple engine systems strung together.

This gives their ships another survivability, that is, after the shell armor and tail thrusters are destroyed, they can still escape by discarding the destroyed parts, and even counterattack.

In the face of the bandit warship, everyone feels like hitting cockroaches with newspapers, hitting cockroaches is still running, hitting cockroaches twice is still running, three, four, five times If no one is so angry that they step on it, then Xiaoqiang is still running

After witnessing the ferocious ramming, precise and rapid artillery bombardment, and the giant space carrier releasing more than 3,000 fighters at a time, the officers and men of the Western Covenant could not imagine how miserable the Western Fleet would have been if the main force of the bandit army had relied on their stealth technology to set up an ambush somewhere in the airspace of the jump point or the flight segment, and had not resorted to refueling tactics.

And in the process of pursuing along the way, Banning's command skills also convinced every Western Covenant officer and soldier.

Starting from the jump point, Russell's unit first retreated along the course to the main star of Metis, attempting to retreat to the A8 system. However, since the main force of his fleet could not escape the pursuit of the Western fleet, he had to use several obstacles in the channel to block the attack, trying to repel the pursuers and then calmly leave.

However, in these few encounters, Banning has the upper hand. Whether Russell is going head-to-head, defeating, ambushing, yin*, or bobbing a shot, he can't hide from Banning's eyes. Several times relying on the obstacle zone to block the attack, not only failed to open the distance, but instead made the West fleet bite tighter and forced it out of the channel

This is the third lesson that Mandanda learned.

In terms of making accurate judgments and giving the right orders in such a fierce battle, he was still far from Banning

Every change of tactics in a battle between the two sides, and even the route of each fleet, the timing and control of salvo shots and fighter sorties, are an art.

And now, as the two fleets get closer and closer, and as Russell's fleet, which was forced out of the channel, encounters more and more dangers from space, the battle has come to an end.

"Good, the Storm Bears First Fleet deflected 1500 ticks to the left, full speed foreground. Within three minutes, it arrived at the R23 airspace, coordinates 233934.425563.345522.7. ”

"Binalt's 63rd Flotilla, taking up the attack position along the outer roundabout, and the 64th Flotilla covering. Your mission is to intercept your opponents. ”

On the command platform, Banning, who put down the papers, coldly issued one order after another.

In the void outside the porthole, countless warships were galloping, and countless energy cannon lights dragged their long tails back and forth. The Fiji fleet ahead was running wildly along the edge of an asteroid belt. The Western Fleet in the rear was already under the command of Banning, and its wings were spread out, like a big fishing net, trying to cover the enemy.

Mandanda's gaze casually skimmed over the interstellar map.

Russell, who was forced out of the channel, drew a large circle in the universe after more than ten hours of escape, and was forced to the airspace not far from the jump point of the Metis galaxy.

Only this time, they can no longer take advantage of the previous defenses. This place, which is only three million kilometers away from the airspace of the jump point, is the grave of the Fijian fleet

"General"

In front of the center console, a staff officer suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

Banning and Mandanda frowned and stared. It was the radar's control area, and staff officers usually reported the situation to the intelligence liaison officer on duty, and few of them stood up and shouted at the central command platform.

In the field of vision, the staff officer's face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost. His finger pointed at the radar screen, and a pair of small eyes opened desperately, revealing a look of extreme fear and despair.

On the radar screen, there was nothing unusual, but around the fleet, small dots suddenly appeared.

The small green dots of light are getting denser and denser, and in an instant, the entire screen is already covered

There was a loud bang, and the flagship shook violently, and immediately, dozens of exploding white lights lit up from the porthole of the battleship at the same time. Dazzling, with a kind of desperate coldness

The mournful cry of "enemy attack" sounded in the fleet channel at the same time.

At the scream, Mandanda looked at the telescope with cold hands and feet. In front of him, behind him, on the left, on the right, above, below, in the endless void, there were bandit warships slowly emerging from the void, and everywhere were bandit fighters that swooped down like heavy cumulonimbus clouds.

Nine *-class fleets, nine giant space carriers

Under the attack of these warships and warplanes, the entire fleet of Western Covenant has become a mess. Countless warships were smashed from behind and from the side

"How is that possible? How did they get back, how could they be here? Mandanda couldn't believe her eyes.

After learning the news that the main force of the bandit army was attacking the capital of Desik, Banning personally led the staff to repeatedly rule out and confirm the possibility of the bandit army's return before ordering an attack.

Moreover, it has been less than fifteen hours since the start of the attack on the jump point, and there is absolutely no jump point leading to the free passage of Mars wherever Russell has fled. How did these bandit warships appear here?

He jerked his head back and looked at Banning.

But he saw that the famous general Naga slowly sat down on the chair, and the blood on his face, like the staff officer who discovered the bandits, faded completely in an instant.

"Admiral," Mandan Daga said.

"I've always had the feeling of being led by the nose," Banning's voice seemed to float over the command hall, "and I've been telling myself that there isn't enough time for the bandits to come back, and that as long as Russell doesn't lead us to the jump point to the Mars Passage, we're not in danger." But I forgot one thing."

Under Mandanda's gaze, his left hand slowly followed the main channel of Zeus and Hera, pointing to the jump point where the Western fleet's fleet had originally stayed, and then passed through the jump point and pulled directly to the current airspace. And his right hand, following the escape route of Russell's fleet, made a big circle and returned to the current airspace.

"Simple and genius time difference trap" In the violent vibration of the battleship, Banning said heavily: "These madmen killed all the way back from the main channel of the Hera system."

I will never jump into the pit of this kind of big battle again. 5555555, crying and going to sleep. Let's have a monthly pass.
