Two days before departure, we received news of the defeat of the Overmars fleet and the pursuit of the Red Fleet by enemy forces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info then the terminal navigation device of the over-the-way method was destroyed, and the communication was completely interrupted. Fortunately, there is also an almost completely damaged terminal navigation system at the Wuxing River, which can no longer provide the effect of forwarding, but can still provide the necessary terminal guidance. We are in the midst of the fortress of the co-workers, and we are advancing in an indescribable situation. However, it is unknown what has already happened there, and whether we will be able to rescue our allies in time.

In the early morning of September 15, the Gonggong Fortress jumped into the airspace of the Five Star River. There was no expected cheer from the friendly forces stranded there by the severe damage to the battleship - most of them had been trapped there for a month or two, lacking water and water, and could not find any materials to repair the battleship, so they had to rely on a group of destroyers led by Chen Xiangda to organize a defense in the vicinity and drive away the scattered Feria's fighters who had come to harass them. After seeing the Gonggong Fortress, which had already lost hope of survival, most of them just raised their heads in a daze, looked at the fortress above them with a godless and suspicious gaze, and opened their mouths in a daze. It wasn't until a few hours later, when the rescue team from the Gonggong Fortress came to distribute them blankets and water, and to take them back to the fortress in batches, that they began to have the normal human reaction - a low cry from the army, which slowly resounded. If according to the teachings of His Excellency Zhang Ning back then, this kind of self-defeating behavior should definitely be arrested and the whole army will be beaten. But these warriors have abandoned their hometowns, wives and children, expeditions of 100,000 light years, and have been fighting in the universe for nearly a year, from the former king's army to the current team called Hanako, what do we have to blame them? Seeing this scene, Simba sighed and said, "Fortunately, Zhang Ning is dead." ”

The spirit and morale of the vast majority of the soldiers have collapsed, and it is unknown how long it will take to recover, and the situation is worse than we originally thought. The expeditionary fleet at the time of the expedition consisted of 1,700 warships, four of the Modern class, and was replenished with capital ships on the way. But at least half of the less than 500 warships in Wuxinghe - if they can be called "warships" - are no different from wreckage. Three battered Hyundai-class ships were planted on the planet's ground, and how to recover them was a headache. If it weren't for cost considerations, I really wanted Houyi No. 1 to give them a solemn retirement ceremony, and out of sight was a clean thing.

The officers who stayed on the Wuxing River were not in good condition either, after all, they had been on the verge of running out of ammunition and food for a long time, and in order to avoid the danger of a mutiny in the whole army (to be honest, even a mutiny, I don't know where it could go), their lives were also very bad. Wang Lei, commander of the Third Fleet, was seriously wounded, but he lacked medical treatment -- Group B was beaten to pieces, and when he rescued Group A, Group A, which had suffered heavy losses, was already short of medical treatment, and even with his position, he could not be better cared for. He had been lying in bed for more than two months, and the only privilege the medical officer could give him was a daily supply of a bag of salt water to hang. The long wounds had exhausted his spirit, and his eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling of the hospital boat, oblivious to my entry. I saw the mock battle between him and Hongxiang back then, and I knew that although this guy was a little arrogant, he was still a talent, so I ordered him to add a plug and give priority to moving to the Gonggong Fortress for proper treatment, which was the only thing I could do.

In order to find all the officers who can manage things, we have to put a lot of effort into it. Many extremely decadent lieutenant colonels and colonel-level guys were probably unable to quickly change their mood after a long time of despair, and they even repeatedly scolded and even obstructed the work of the rescue team, and Simba and Situ Jianghai had to personally take the military police everywhere to tear people's epaulettes, and demote whoever made trouble, and removed more than 50 middle and senior officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel in one morning.

They were dismissed so well that they quickly became hot-headed, made the mistake of simplification and expansion, and clashed with Chen Xiangda's gang who finally went down to the ground, and Simba personally ripped off Chen Xiangda's rank of major general -- her rank of major general was obtained by meritorious service in the line of fire in the last two months, and it was completely different from the dozens of military ranks that Simba and others ripped off at the beginning. Although Chen Xiangda was not well-known before the expedition, she has always played the role of the guardian goddess to protect the defeated officers and soldiers in the final battle in the last two months, and her popularity is extremely high. Simba's domineering behavior immediately caused a storm, but I arrived just in time to bring it down from the brink of the riot.

For fifteen hours after the arrival of the Gonggong Fortress, we were spent in this tense and disorderly rescue and curse attack, completely free to do anything else. It wasn't until more than half of the officers and soldiers were sent to the fortress and the sense of security gradually returned to everyone's hearts that I was able to take a breath and consider what to do next. Unexpectedly, someone was more anxious than me, and they didn't even give me time to drink a glass of water and take a break-Guo Yingying rushed to the staff headquarters of the fortress to find me.

My impression of Xiao Guo has always been good, as soon as I saw him, I stood up to greet him, and greeted him warmly: "Long time no see, please sit down." Why didn't you show up just now—look at those bastards making a fuss and my head is blowing up! ”

"I just went to talk to Commander Chen, and I will talk to them again after I come down, and I will definitely be able to resolve the misunderstanding, please rest assured. Everyone has been trapped in the Five Star River for too long, and it is inevitable that they have accumulated a lot of resentment, but in fact, they are all trivial matters, as long as they understand each other. Guo Yingying Zhengse said: "I'm here for business." Do you already know the correct coordinates of Lord Overmars? Please come to your aid immediately! ”

"It is inevitable that there will be errors in the radio wave communication between the planets, and this must be carefully studied and carefully considered before making the right decision." I snorted twice: "You have worked hard, you should have a good rest, and this matter will be handled by me." ”

"Your Excellency!" Guo Yingying stepped forward, clenched his fists, and glared at me angrily: "I understand that with this position at this time, I am not qualified to ask you for anything. But please look at the common struggle of the Samsung Army in the past, and go to save His Excellency the General! ”

I silently looked at Guo Yingying with an intellectual disability, trying to look at him embarrassed and retreat. Unexpectedly, he became more and more excited, and exclaimed: "Your Excellency Overmars has always valued you, thinking that you will become a great talent, and I hope you will not live up to his trust!" ”

"Trust isn't enough, is it?" I shook my head and picked up two faxes from my side: "Well, the latest radio coordinate map received." The Ovimas fleet and the Red Fleet parted ways exactly and went in two directions. Please tell me who I should save first. The sky is full of false targets of the enemy army, and it is not known at all how much the real strength of the enemy army is. It is extremely undesirable for the fleet to be reduced or divided into two, and as a forward commander, you should understand this, don't you? ”

"Huang Er, this is serious, I'm not kidding!" Guo Yingying was actually angry, and a strong sense of persecution emanated from his short body. His hand was already on the hilt of the saber at his waist, and he shouted, "Don't force me to start a civil strife!" ”

There are no guards in the staff headquarters, but his plan may not be too ridiculous. Did he learn fencing? That sword was used as a ceremonial sword for the commander of the fleet to give orders, could it really be used for meat fighting? I stretched out my claws in a loud voice, and said sincerely, "This pavilion is a hero who has fought many hand-to-hand battles with the Feria infantry, and if you can cut it, you can come." ”

However, at this time, a hostage model suddenly appeared in the field that should never have appeared. Feng Luo came from nowhere, and suddenly appeared behind Guo Yingying, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. Guo Yingying was also in a hurry to jump over the wall, caught her as soon as he turned around, and glared at me with threatening eyes: "The general treats me like a mountain, and I will take care of him at all costs." Even if he did this kind of coercive behavior, he didn't care about it. Did you say last time that this woman was your mistress? ”

"Eh, I have a complicated relationship with her, we can sit down and talk slowly......" I was talking nonsense, when I suddenly saw that the tip of Guo Yingying's sword had slightly pierced into Feng Luo's throat, and a wisp of blood had flowed out, it seemed that he was very serious. And this very serious guy obviously didn't learn swordsmanship very seriously, and he was so emotional that his hands trembled badly. If you can't control it and hurt the life of our number one shareholder, it won't be good. I sighed, shook my head, and said, "Is this what you are telling me with your actions?" It's nerve-wracking. Well, put away the things that hurt your feelings, I promise you. Will you trust me first? Put your sword away. ”

Guo Yingying gritted his teeth, put his sword back into its sheath, pushed Feng Luo over, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry for doing this kind of thing." I'll apologize for my actions afterwards, but ......"

"Forget it, forget it, everyone has their own plans. What do I want you to apologize for, chop off one of your paws? I jumped up and pulled Feng Luo behind me, beckoned someone to come and give her medicine, and said to Guo Yingying: "Situ Jianghai has already prepared, and he can leave within twenty minutes." The fleet is a little less, but we have less time, so let's split up. ”

The Red Fleet was already fighting miserably at this time. According to the radiometry they received, they only had ten warships left, and all of them were on the verge of collapse with serious injuries, and the ammunition was almost at the bottom, and it was impossible to hold out for long by relying on the barrage to contain the approach of the superior number of air forces in Feria, and the situation was extremely urgent. There was nothing wrong with Ovimars's strategic concept of sniping Feria Prime Minister Ryan Giggs, but judging by the progress of completion, the most effective time had been missed. Although the enemy army has lost its supreme leader and there has been a certain failure of command, the number of people who have taken off is so large that even the full-fledged "mine" fleet of Situ Jianghai has no confidence that it can be easily suppressed. Now that we have to divide troops to rescue, it is really a taboo among soldiers.

Out of the mood of guarding against the villain of others taking the wealth, I sent both Situ Jianghai and Chen Ze to accompany Guo Yingying to rescue His Excellency General Overmars, and asked them to bring "the strongest officer corps". They faithfully obeyed my orders and left me with a new captain, Lieutenant Colonel He Xin, and the rest of the senior officers were all taken with them. He started from the grassroots officers and soldiers, and he was not trained in a regular department. The officers and men of the fleet had a good impression of him, but seemed nervous about the sudden necessity of being alone. An hour after departure, we were confronted by a group of Feria troops, but there were only twenty planes, and this guy was so stunned that after five minutes he couldn't come to a conclusion, and finally asked me: "What should I do?" ”

"Rush over and save people directly, leave them alone." I cursed in my heart, but I still had to help him make a decision: "If they want to fight, just leave a squadron." ”

It's not too serious, it's inevitable for people who are new to the big war - I consoled myself with this, but the rest of the events soon became unbearable. He Xin was so nervous that he was dizzy, and when he sat in the commander's seat, he trembled so much that even the teacup in front of him made a trembling sound. After flying for thirteen hours, he didn't even close his eyelids, and he was always in that highly neurotic state. Every time I had to fight a contact battle, after hearing the news that there were no big losses, I was greatly relieved as if a serf had turned over, but at this time the official war had not yet begun! I had a good night's sleep and two good meals. After breakfast, when I came to the commander's seat, I saw that this guy's gray face was like a zombie, and I immediately felt that I couldn't rely on him anymore. At this moment, the radar soldier suddenly shouted: "There is a cluster of enemy troops ahead, about 200 planes!" ”

He Xin jumped up violently, waved his hands and let out a frenzied cry: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

I was forced to stand upright in front of him, shouting: "When I don't exist, you say withdraw?" ”

"Your Excellency, we can't take risks anymore, there are too many enemies, we are definitely not opponents!"

I looked around, and the non-commissioned officers at the headquarters had already taken off their headphones and looked around. The panic and helplessness of the acting commander had reached their hearts, and the situation must be reversed immediately. I stepped forward and pulled He Xin down, shouting: "Gendarme, gendarmerie!" Take this greedy person who is afraid of death down, and now I will take command. Who is the squadron leader of the assault squadron? Report to me now! ”

Just two minutes before contact with the enemy, the squadron leader of the assault squadron, Bongdepu, hurried to the flagship. I ordered at the beginning: "Don't talk nonsense, if you can be the squadron leader of the assault squadron, there must be two brushes in actual combat." You are responsible for me, you must rush over to save your commander, if you don't succeed, everyone will end up together, and if you succeed, you will be promoted to captain, do you understand? ”

Bongdepu agreed. Although he was also a little nervous, he was much better than He Xin. After a moment's thought, he took off his hat and threw it aside, stood in front of the wide-angle screen at the front, and ordered: "Attack, cone formation, rush through the middle of the enemy!" ”

I am now in a mine fleet of only half the size, but after all, it is a powerful fleet equipped according to the planetary attack fleet, and it is a new force with unscathed and sufficient firepower, and the two hundred fighter fronts of Feria were immediately drowned in the sea of fire as soon as they came into contact with us. The three destroyers in front of us were constantly spewing dense artillery fire, blasting one Feria fighter after another to pieces in a cloud of fire. Many of these fragments did not explode, but quickly turned into a star-like fog, apparently a false target. The battle lasted only fifteen minutes before we broke through the Feria group and left the battlefield with a cloud of fiery smoke. After confirming this news, the whole army immediately burst into jubilation.

"I'm a little bit early, but I played well." I nodded to Bondepu encouragingly and said, "Keep up the good work and do well." ”

Bongdepu gratitiously accepted my compliment. But the compliment proved to be quite significant. Just now we were pursued by the Feria fighter group that we broke through the formation and the thieves were not deadly, although they couldn't catch up with our team, which was dominated by destroyers, they followed closely and couldn't get rid of it. From the wide-screen radar, it can be seen that sporadic small groups of Feria aircraft gradually began to converge in the distance. Some merged into the large pile of mid-Ouroboros in the back, and some slowly gathered on the flanks, monitoring in parallel from afar, and I don't know how many were in front?

As he was thinking, someone suddenly handed him a cup of coffee. Without thinking, I said thank you, and then almost choked my nose - it's a pineapple again! She still has a hemostatic patch around her neck, and she wears a small astronaut uniform that she stole out of nowhere, which fits well. I suddenly became worried, and said with a bitter face, "Why did you come to this place again? ”

"I can't let you take too many risks, I have to be optimistic about the investment object, right?" Feng Luo said with a grin.

I was helpless, I shook my head, speechless, and could only stare at the wound on Feng Luo's neck. She shook her head and said, "It's out of the way, it's just a minor injury." ”

"Isn't it time to break with them completely?"

Feng Luo said regretfully: "Although the opportunity to soar into the sky is rare, people's hearts are important at this time." ”

She's right. I was nodding my head in agreement when suddenly the radar officer shouted, "There are signs of enemy encirclement!" ”

The hearts of all the soldiers were in awe. I walked quickly to the stereo star map and watched the latest monitoring results. The enemy had surrounded it on all sides, leaving only a gap in the direction of the zenith thirty degrees in the direction from which they came. But it was clear that the gap was deliberately left for us to turn and flee - below the gap was the largest enemy force that Shicai had been following and could easily intercept us halfway. Bongdepu looked around the star chart twice, his face became darker and darker, and he suddenly looked up at me. I had been waiting for a long time and immediately replied, "Resolutely move forward." ”

Thirty minutes later, on the star map, our fleet was headlong in a siege of thousands of points of light from Feria. Although the contact was not so tight, the outermost troops were within range of the opposing side. Beams of light and waves of fire continued to streak across the dark night sky, and the steel battleship beneath our feet trembled like a bamboo tower in a strong earthquake. Bondepu tried his best to command the various parts of the fleet, repeating the process of being surrounded, assaulted, counter-encircled, disengaged, escaped, and encircled again, and in a short time his clothes were soaked. Busy astronauts and repair crews were running between the bridges, all trying their best to break through the enemy's net. But at this time, I seemed very serene, just staring at the oscilloscope of the sonic sensor, and from time to time I ordered the sweating Bondeep, "No problem, just keep going." ”

"Why are you so confident?" Feng Luo asked a little strangely.

I listened and didn't pay attention to her immediately. The light of the cannon fire outside the ship became more and more prosperous, but I sat upright like an old monk and did not say a word. Half an hour later, the sharp explosion gradually disappeared behind him, and the clear starry sky appeared again on the ultra-wide-angle screen in front of him, and the enemy once again left us behind for a breakthrough. Only then did I open my eyes and answer her: "When I was working with Hua Song and them, I often played mock battles during my breaks. These ships are equipped with a variety of sensors and real-time information sharing systems, and among the various real-time data, acoustic sensing is the most significant in describing the damage to the ship. Although I can't fight, I'm used to seeing these sonic curves. The enemy's false targets were overwhelmingly strong, and their actual forces were not that strong - I could hear the explosions and feel the vibrations just from the curves. After all, the design drawings and material approval forms of each warship here have been approved by me myself, and I have a very good idea of its ability to resist attacks and actual combat performance. ”

Feng Luo looked at me in surprise and said, "Yo, it looks like you can be a fleet commander?" ”

I smiled slightly, pretending to be modest: "Actually, it's just a little three-legged cat kung fu, not worth mentioning." ”

"What are you proud of, what I'm saying is that your eyesight already has the quality of a fleet commander, it's just eyesight."

"You ......"

After our fleet broke through the enemy's encirclement, a large tail three times longer than our own formation dragged out behind it. The formation of the Feria fighter group gave us a scattered rush, but because we had no intention of fighting, their losses were not very large, and they still pursued them with a thief heart. Bongdepu was already quite confident at this point, and asked me if I should leave a brigade to block the pursuers. I did the math, at the moment there are two brigades in my hands, the losses are small, there are still one hundred and twenty battleships. Although the tonnage is not high, and the main ones are light ships, the warships built by Lei Longdo are characterized by particularly high mobility and firing speed, and as long as they are properly commanded, they can at least firmly contain the Feria aircraft group, which should have less than half the actual number of troops behind the target. It's also safer to do this - otherwise, it will be even more troublesome to lure such a large group of guys to Hongxiang's side, in case they don't prevent them from rushing over and pounced on the Red Fleet. So I agreed to his suggestion.

Half an hour later, the fleet was ready to split, and the half of the battleships that rushed to the front suddenly performed a big turn, forming a loose formation ready to meet the pursuers. The squadron continued to advance without stopping, and two hours later reached the airspace where the remnants of the Red Fleet were located, and the distance between the two sides was so close that the artillery fire from the remnants of the Red Fleet could be seen with only the eyes of the trapped Red Fleet. However, the firing frequency is very low, to the lowest level of danger of fire cover. And their radio communications were all broken, and they couldn't get in touch with any calls. Seeing this, Bondepu was suspicious and reported: "Your Excellency, we should conduct reconnaissance for a period of time before we operate. Judging by their combat situation, the enemy is certainly much stronger than them. But we are completely invisible on our radar. ”

"It's a stealth force again, it's really annoying." I cursed and said, "Turn on the array radar." ”

"Your Excellency, you are mistaken, this is not a predecessor ship and a modern class. Only two of our cruisers had array radars, and the range was not enough, holding it for only twenty seconds. You can't just turn it on until the last minute. Or conduct perimeter reconnaissance first......"

"That's more than two hours, right? I don't think they can hold on for twenty minutes. I interrupted Bondepp and said, "I'm a little confident, we have a large group, and only one squadron on the Red Fleet side can hold it - so it's a good risk." Prepare to attack and join the Red Fleet! ”

"Your Excellency, this is gambling!"

"I know, but it's worth the gamble." I said lightly: "You have made your point clear, and I have made my command clear as well." Execute it now! (To be continued.) )
