Chapter 23: One Strike Break (Revised)
The pursuing force of the Imperial Army, all its attention was focused on the hull of No. 3. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info which gave Edlaide a chance. He commanded the No. 4 ship to choose the shortest path, not caring about exposing the hull and moving closer to the No. 3 ship.
"One blow is out of the tactics, the whole ship is ready for shock, and the whole ship is in deep-sea acceleration mode, ready to abandon the ship at any time."
Edlaide released 1 tactical choice and 3 tactical modes in a row. This is different from the ordinary way of fighting, and it is an unconventional method of warfare that relies on the judgment of the commander and is used to maximize the role of the warship.
"One blow to get out of it? Aren't we going to rescue ship No. 3? ”
Avina was a navigator in her normal life, and in wartime she became Edlaide's tactical staff. She was the person on the ship who knew his tactical intentions best, so she was the first to question his orders.
“。。。 I'm going to rescue the No. 3 ship, but not to die. In this case, I hope that Liao Fan can seize the only opportunity we create. ”
Edlaide didn't want to answer her questions. Maybe she would be mistaken for a person who was on the verge of retreating, but he couldn't bear this result and explained it anyway.
Under the influence of the acceleration fluid, Avina's plump and bewitching figure is dressed in a hazy coat, which is even more charming. I couldn't see her expression clearly, but I could tell from her posture and tone that the doubts were still fermenting.
"I thought you had a mature tactical plan before you broke away from the brigade, right? . .
Avina didn't say the following words, he couldn't bear to be looked down upon by such a woman. I couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Not what you think. My original plan was to take advantage of the battle group to attract the attention of most of the enemy ships and help ship 3 out of danger. But the situation was different, and the Empire did not give me a chance. Plans need to change, and while we are preserving ourselves, a one-hit disengagement strategy is the best way to help them. ”
said a lot in one go, and even he felt that he was suspected of doing it deliberately.
Avina smiled softly, and the anxiety in Edlaide's heart melted.
"It's okay, I just want to make sure the captain's mind hasn't changed."
Whether he admitted it or not, Avina's chuckle made him feel good, and he was filled with confidence beyond reason in the success of the battle.
Ship 4 has not been spotted until now by virtue of its surprise attack from behind. But that advantage will soon come to an end. With less than 20 kilometers left, it will be exposed to the radar detection net of enemy ships, and it will be a situation from which one step will never be recovered.
Edlaide hurriedly collected his mind, and he needed to make sure that he did not make mistakes in the next battle.
There has been a subtle change in the form of pursuit and escape ahead. Edlaide came back to his senses at Avina's call, which changed his tune.
For unknown reasons, the speed of the No. 3 ship dropped sharply. The distance between the chase and escape was soon shortened. Maybe it's despair, or something else. Ship No. 3 simply gave up fleeing and turned to meet the enemy. This was a surprise to everyone, but Edlaide thought that the Imperial Army would welcome it, as it would save them a lot of time.
The big problem is that if the escape is not continued, the No. 4 ship will not have enough time to carry out the rescue. With bitterness in his mouth, he decided to keep his plan as it was, and by this time he had lost hope of success.
The Imperial pursuers did not confront the half-destroyed assault ship head-on, and the Purple Electric Squadron continued to outflank it, and the assault ship maintained a certain distance from the No. 3 ship. The severed Imperial destroyers accelerated. The Reichs, unwilling to lose human lives, tried to deliver a thunderous blow with the fire of destroyers.
Ship 3 sprayed fire in vain, possibly posing no threat to the encircled Imperial Army. Edlaide is speculating that the officers and men of the No. 3 ship are already in a hysterical state of collapse. When he thought of the petite female captain, who was still busy on the No. 3 ship at this time, he couldn't help but feel sad for that innocent and ignorant girl.
Tiny black dots ejected from the belly of the assault ship. The flying object is rectangular in shape, has no power system, and is just a modified container.
"Lifepods!"
Avina's voice trembled slightly, and he knew that she was worried about her friend Jasmine's situation. Forced to the point of using life-saving pods, whether or not they can survive depends on the preferences of the Imperial Army.
The laser beam flickered, and the gray life-saving pod shattered. Due to the lack of a power system inside it, it was used purely for life-saving purposes, and the life-saving pod did not explode. The air atomizes into a white liquid state, and blood sprays out.
"These brutes even beat the life pods!"
Jack yelled angrily. Edlaide's mood plummeted to the bottom, it was over, everyone on the No. 3 ship was finished. The Imperial Army did not intend to keep prisoners.
"Let's go over it!" , Jack yelled at him.
Edlaide raised his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered it.
"Why don't you fight!"
He ignored Jack's howl and stared at the wide-area monitor. That's when the second life-saving pod shoots out. The bright yellow light flickered, and the entire life-saving pod shattered under the blow of the magnetic rail warhead. and dense fragments, I don't know what happened to the people inside. The chances of surviving are slim.
There was a small exclamation beside him, it was Avina's voice. It is said that her relationship with Jasmine is so good that she is like a sister, and I hope she will not be overly sad.
The third life-saving pod was fired, and the Imperial Army lost patience, and the space fighters gave up the outflanking and moved directly towards the core of the encirclement. The fourth and fifth life pods were easily wiped out in the face of intense artillery fire.
The atmosphere on the bridge of the No. 4 ship was solemn, and everyone was staring at the slaughter that took place on the battlefield ahead. The Imperial Army had no honour to speak of, and wantonly attacked unarmed life pods. Edlaide decided to collect relevant data and videos as an update on the future exposure of the enemy.
The seventh, eighth, ninth, and ten life-saving pods appeared one after another and were shot down. As if seeing a loved one being slaughtered, Avina's cry came from the bridge. Jack pursed his mouth, the corners of his mouth curled down, and he tried to control it so that he didn't cry. Watching the lives of former comrades-in-arms being taken one by one seriously weakened the fighting spirit of the officers and men on the ship.
At this point, no one offered to come to the rescue, except for Edlaide himself. He hasn't given up yet, and there are still three life pods, no matter how many people there are, one is one rescued.
Scarlet ballistics emerge from behind enemy ships. A purple electric fighter plane couldn't dodge and exploded into tens of millions of parts. The Imperial army that pursued and killed was stunned. Edlaide immediately sensed that the enemy's ferocious murderous aura was focused on the No. 4 ship.
Now is the time to race against time, he ordered the assault ships to take advantage of the situation to maneuver along the invisible sphere to the outside of the battlefield, and the railguns, laser guns, and combat missiles poured into the approaching purple motor group as if they were not paying for money. Under the density of the behemoth firepower, the attack of the Imperial army was stagnant.
"Take advantage of the now, overload the main engine, run away!"
Jack's expression was still immersed in the exhilaration. He was a little reluctant, but he did not hesitate to carry out the order to evacuate.
The No. 4 ship, which was at the end of its rope, overlapped in its routes. The No. 4 ship, which had already broken through 3.5 cosmic speeds and almost turned into an afterimage, converged with the eleventh life-saving pod that popped up on the No. 3 ship. Ship 4 slowed down only slightly, then picked up the life-pod and flew out.
Behind them, a volley of fire was fired, and Ship 3 connected to two other unfired life-saving pods to transform into a supernova, which burned briefly and then extinguished into unsightly ashes, floating in the universe.
