Revised Edition Volume 12 Vicious Battles Before and After Chapter 3 The First Battle of the Highway of the Revenant
On May 15, Overmars led Group A into the Bourbon Galaxy, the fifteenth galaxy on its journey. www.biquge.info According to the records of the Feria Intelligence Library on the Vulture Fortress, there should be more than two FΓ©ria Air Force, and there are Star Fortresses on two planets.
Group A currently has five fleets, including the three-branch satellite attack fleet of Overmars, Guo Yingying, and Hongxiang, and the two-branch satellite guard fleet of Takeshi Nakai and Polkin. Most of the systems passed along the way had Feria troops, and all five fleets had already fought regular battles, so they had a lot of experience in suppressing the galaxy. However, the Bourbon Galaxy is far more complex than anyone thinks, and even Feria's star map shows only a part of this vast galaxy. Just a channel, to be exact. It is full of death-filled celestial bodies such as the Death Star and black holes, as well as strong cosmic storms, and the passage that Feria has protruded may have been paved with the corpses of thousands of Feria cosmic officers and soldiers who died unjustly here.
The name of the passage is "The Highway of the Dead".
After discovering the ultra-complex geography of the Bourbon Galaxy, the generals unanimously decided at the Asahi meeting to make a slight modification here and conduct a rough exploration of the stars around the Revenant Highway, so as to widen the known width of the Revenant Highway as much as possible, and provide a safer and more detailed star map for those who may pass through here in the future. However, half an hour after the proposal was proposed, Guo Yingying took the initiative to veto the idea. Because although Group A has five majestic space fleets, they are too small for the Bourbon galaxy. There are hundreds of small and medium-sized galaxies and nebulae in the Bourbon System, and there are more than forty in the vicinity of the Highway of the Dead alone. Conducting a geological survey of this place with the current personnel is no different from using the police force of a five-person police station to clean up the temporary population of a megalopolis like Xinjing. What's more, the hidden "temporary residents" here are all armed with guns and are very good at killing officials and rebelling.
Comrade Xiao Guo was distinguished by his appointment as chief of staff of the fleet when the fleet was still a very small planetary guard fleet. I admire him very much, especially his prudence, not making mistakes at all, and correcting mistakes immediately regardless of face. Everyone knows him well, so even though he backtracks, no one says he's not. In the face of this vast and dangerous galaxy, even the modern class is only an insignificant piece of dust, and it is not too much to be cautious. As a result, Group A abandoned the strategy of dispersed sweep and reconnaissance and finally joint attack that had been used in the previous fourteen galaxies, and the five fleets formed a tight iron bucket formation and slowly marched along the Highway of the Revenant.
At the time, the decision was just a matter of thought. Whether it's spreading out the search or ignoring the move forward, there are reasons for it. The generals who have been advancing in the vast universe for more than two months are no longer as cautious and sensitive as they were when they first set off. After all, the glorious record of winning more than forty battles in a row and stepping on fourteen galaxies in a row has fully proved his strength. However, the so-called difference between mediocrity and famous generals is probably more obvious when such soldiers are generally tired and numb, right? Guo Yingying seems to instinctively feel the danger - even though the feeling is too sensitive and may be criticized, he resolutely raises it. At his suggestion, the entire fleet crossed the Bourbon system along the Revenant Highway in an uninterrupted formation.
Group A traveled along the Revenant Highway for twenty-two days before finally reaching a small galaxy near the exit of the Jump Gate on the other side of the Bourbon Galaxy. The galaxy was so small that Feria hadn't had time to name it. The military fortress of Feria, on the two planets in this system next to the Jump Gate, is very similar to the three-star planet, but it is far less large.
Ovimas sat on the bridge of the Asahi, and the enemy planetary fortress in front of him had already appeared in his field of vision, and the azure light of the Feria base above could be seen with the naked eye. When he first saw this, he was also excited, and he also had the same unease as he had when he led a planetary guardian fleet into battle three years ago. But during the March, he had fought dozens of small and medium-sized encounters, and such skirmishes had gradually tired him. What is in front of you is no longer a fight, no longer an excitement, but just a combat mission that must take some time to complete. The only advantage is that because the fleet formation is unprecedentedly dense, instant voice communication between each other can be used. The admiral cleared his throat, pressed the button of the communicator, and asked, "Guys, do you hear clearly?" β
"No problem, it's clear." The generals' answers were heard on the radio.
"What do you think of the application of this operation?" Overmars asked with some numbness.
"Although the enemy's situation is unknown, it is expected that the strength is still not much stronger." Polkin replied: "I think it's better to follow the old practice, use the positive attack method to open the modern level with a word, and the ultra-long-range bombing will be over, everyone is simple." β
This proposal was uncreative, but it was the most skillful and simple of the first fourteen galaxies, and it worked very well. Takeshi Nakai, who did not have a modern level, immediately agreed, that is, he was not prepared to fight for merit in this battle. Overmas nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then it's up to Guo to deploy." Nakai and Polkin scattered to the flanks to prepare for the assault after the shelling. β
"I have an opinion." Hongxiang suddenly spoke.
Hongxiang's trip was particularly low-key. There is a low-key reason: he dismantled his super-large fleet into two pieces, both with Ovimas and Zhang Ning, although he relied on this shameless trick to deceive three inferior modern-class, but both sides regarded him as a big liar, and he was particularly unpleasant. Along the way, he just did what he was supposed to do, and rarely spoke. Overmars couldn't help but be amazed and said, "Just say it. β
"I've seen the enemy retreat the first two times, and I don't think it's a good sign that the enemy has retreated and didn't fight us to the death." "I propose to remain on alert and make a decision after a fast fleet conducts fire reconnaissance," Hongxiang said. β
"'Reconnaissance' with a fleet of guards? You're exaggerating, aren't you? Takeshi Nakai protested loudly: "Kim, I don't know what you think? This kind of projectile fortress can be destroyed with just my fleet! If it weren't for the fact that I would have minimized the damage before entering the Nephelson system, I wouldn't have dared to attack a fleet of great lords like yours! β
Hongxiang said: "You are serious. As you get closer to the enemy's base camp, there will be more and more unpredictable factors, so it's always good to be prepared. Besides, when we captured Vulture Fortress, no one would have thought of involving all ten of our fleets, right? β
Polkin snorted disdainfully and said, "Hmph, since you haven't experienced that battle, what qualifications do you have to comment?" β
"Don't quarrel, everyone." Guo Yingying interjected: "Although Commander Jin did not participate in the battle of Vulture Fortress, he did an excellent job in the subsequent battles and was impeccable. Our army needs to work together on an expedition, and we cannot often fight over trivial matters. I think that a frontal attack is still feasible, and the enemy will never have enough troops to surprise us and destroy the modern formation, but Kim's concerns are justified, after all, it is safe. Otherwise, Commander Kim presided over the rearguard, and I and the general's flagship stepped forward to shell? β
The admiral was noncommittal and acquiesced in his proposal. For him, the things that need to be considered are more profound, and there is no need to focus on the verbal arguments of his generals. But Guo's proposal was actually tantamount to agreeing with Hongxiang's opinion, because Hongxiang's fleet had two Modern-class ships. Despite being a defective product, it will not be inferior when it comes to performing the aesthetically unspeakable rough work of long-range shelling. If he does not participate in front-line shelling, the firepower is much weaker, and it takes more than twice as long. As for the deployment of so many troops for the defense? Both Takeshi Nakai and Polkin were unhappy, but Xiao Guo let go, and the general did not object, so he did not say anything more.
This operation was no different from the dozens of previous operations. Compared to the Vulture Fortress War, the objective is much simpler - there is no need to spend time and effort thinking about how to capture it, only how to destroy it. In order to facilitate the command, Guo Yingying, who served as the commander of this battle, came to the Asahi. Overmars simply waited for him to complete the mission and then issued the order to continue the march.
The main fleet of Overmars and the fleet of Guo Yingying slowly broke away from the iron barrel-like Group A composite fleet formation, and slowly sailed to the limit range of the enemy's planetary fortress fire. The two Modern-class ships slowly sailed out of their fleet array and reached the tipping point. Guo Yingying did not have anything abnormal, so he gave the order to start the shelling.
After the shelling began, Takeshi Nakai and Polkin's fleet also broke away from the original barrel formation and guarded the two fleets that were launching artillery bombardments. Only Hongxiang did not move his nest, but instead shrunk his fleet formation more closely, and at the same time sent ten reconnaissance squadrons to the rear to carry out reconnaissance operations. Takeshi Nakai and Polkin were not convinced that he had soared to lieutenant general and defrauded the most modern class in the entire space fleet for a long time, and often stabbed him openly and secretly. When he saw this scene, he immediately laughed: "Your Excellency Kintaro, this is the universe, not the earth, and the laws of the Age of Discovery do not apply. You can't make a detour back to the enemy's rear if you send troops in that direction! β
Eighty minutes after the bombardment, the enemy's First Planetary Fortress on the sensing screen had completely lost its biological and electronic reactions, and it appeared that it had been completely destroyed. But long-distance detection does not tell the story, Guo Yingying has always been too calm, and will not rashly command the whole army to step forward without determining the enemy's situation, ignoring the counterattack of the first fortress planet and start a long-range artillery bombardment of the second planet. After obtaining the general's consent, he pressed the communicator: "Commander Nakai, please lead the team to take a look." If there is a trap, don't fight hard, withdraw immediately. We are so powerful that we don't need to fight the enemy to the death when our situation is unfavorable. β
Takeshi Nakai went with his fleet. The surface structure of the First Planet Fortress has indeed been blown into powder by the two Modern-class ships, and there is nothing unusual about it. Nakai's fleet circled around the first planet, dodging the insignificant artillery fire on the second planet, and reported, "There is no problem, you can move forward." Continue the long-range shelling, or let the Polkin fleet come up with you and take care of the enemy a few times? β
Guo Yingying suddenly became worried about such a trivial matter. As the general's confidant, it is also his duty to strive to maintain good relations among the generals, especially the core members of the Overmars family. Fourteen galaxies came to solve the problem, mainly by using the tactics of ultra-long-range bombardment of large artillery giant ships. Clean and clean, but let the two planetary guard fleets idle and panic, occasionally encounter a lone Feria reconnaissance detachment, can be so excited that the whole army immediately pounces on it like a hungry wolf sees a rabbit. At this time, there is no need to think about Hongxiang's distraction - he is still scouting behind. Isn't it time to let those two friendly fleets have fun?
It should be so, but Xiao Guo's heart faintly felt that it was inappropriate to do so. But is it necessary to consult the admiral for such a small question? He looked back and found that the admiral seemed to have been hypnotized by this repetitive monotonous battle, and fell asleep leaning back in his chair. He thought about it for a moment and ordered, "The Porkin fleet is sent to help. It is up to you to defeat the Second Planet, and we continue to move forward to provide you with the necessary artillery support. β
"Thanks, just don't hurt us by mistake!" Polkin laughed.
However, just when Guo Yingying led the fleet to the firing range, suddenly Hongxiang called an instant message: "Hero, we have been fooled, we should withdraw immediately!" β
Xiao Guo was standing on the bridge and watching the two fast fleets quickly shuttling around the second planet to shoot the ignited sparks, and asked in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
"The enemy's air force was detected, and the number was at least three or more." "This is the strongest enemy we've encountered since we attacked from Vulture Fortress," Hongxiang said. As insignificant as it may seem, I have to tell you that they came from behind us, out of an unknown area outside of the Revenant Highway behind us, and looked like they had been following us since we first entered the Revenant Highway. If we hadn't gathered together to march at that time, we might have started a fight with them. β
"Oh, that's happening?" Guo Yingying was stunned.
"Don't say so much, I have to command the battle immediately. There aren't many of them, but I suspect they'll be able to break through a little bit to hit your back, and maybe they'll have some new weapons. You have to be careful, I think it's best to retreat at once and join me in order to be in order. β
At this moment, suddenly there was a rapid sound of cursing in the communication circuit, and it was obvious that the Nakai fleet, which was mostly Japanese, had suffered a loss. Guo Yingying looked up and found that countless fireballs from explosions suddenly appeared in the night sky in front of him, but they were shrouded in the heads of Takeshi Nakai and Polkin's fleet. Immediately afterward, the Asahi state of emergency red light also flashed, and the whole ship was in a hurry.
"What's going on?" Overmars suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and looked out of the porthole with a bright face.
"Enemy attack, the enemy's two planetary fortresses suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack against us at the same time, and they were just showing weakness just now." After Guo Yingying quickly grasped the situation, he turned around and reported to Overmars: "It seems that it is a large-scale machine mine attack. The Nakai fleet was badly damaged, and Polkin was covering their retreat. β
"What are you going to do?"
"The enemy's attack is almost saturated, and there is no way to turn back rashly. Even planetary attack fleets like ours will suffer unnecessary losses. Guo Yingying had completely calmed down and ordered loudly: "The array radar is turned on, all the gun doors are opened to block the machine mines, keep the bow direction, and retreat at a quarter of the cruising speed!" β
"Can you stay in formation?" Overmars also walked to the command platform and looked at the information that came quickly: "In case the Kintaro fleet in the rear breaks through and is surrounded by enemy forces and attacked with a large number of machine mines, even the modern class will not be able to support it for long, right?" β
"So you have to join Jin as soon as possible, but you can't destroy the overall formation too quickly." Guo Yingying said: "The enemy's timing is very accurate, and it seems that it has been premeditated. However, our army's military fortune is prosperous, and it will definitely not suffer passivity due to this small mistake. β
"Occasionally, there must be some opponents like this, and it will be interesting to fight." Overmars sighed and patted Guo Yingying's shoulder: "Fallen for the enemy's tricks, no wonder you, work hard!" I am absolutely relieved that you will do something. β
"Admiral, just my efforts are not enough." Guo Yingying smiled bitterly: "Kintaro still has to support the defense line on his side." Although it is a planetary attack fleet, he is also very capable, but the enemy has been premeditated for a long time and has prepared such a large number of machine mines, who knows? β
"A lot of times, we have to pin important things on unreliable guys, this is the helplessness of life, don't care too much. Just do what you want to do. Overmas said lightly.
The two fortress planets of Feria suddenly shot thousands of machine mines from the ground, forcing the four fleets in front of Group A to scramble for a while. After a cursory reconnaissance, Takeshi Nakai decided that the first planet had been completely destroyed, and very carelessly hovered the fleet only three thousand meters from the planet's surface, only to be attacked by the most dense machine mines.
These short-range mines were extremely lethal, and it only took one wave of attacks to completely lose control of the Nakai fleet. If it weren't for Polkin's sacrifice to come to the rescue and help him block the second wave of long-range mine strikes from the second planet, Takeshi Nakai might have died in the mine array for no apparent reason. Despite this, the Nakai and Polkin fleets also suffered heavy losses, more than half of the warships lost their combat effectiveness, and more than a dozen completely lost power, but they did not have time to rescue them from the dense machine thunderstorm, only to watch them be annihilated by the machine mines, and occasionally flash a little explosive fire. The two fleets of fast planetary guards, lacking heavy armor protection, collapsed, and only used their speed to stumble out of the most mine-dense area and flash to the rear of Guo Yingying and Ovimas's fleet. The long-range mine, which was at an angle, pursued for a while, and by the time it reached the position of the modern class, it was already very loose, only a few hit the battleship, and most of them were destroyed by artillery fire on the side.
"Nakai fleet, damage 45%!"
"Polkin fleet, damage 20%!"
This is a daunting figure. In a modern war, the loss of one-third of the soldiers and horses can be called the defeat of the whole army. It is an irrefutable fact that these two fleets were lost in such a way after only one ambush, and even if most of them were minor injuries that could be repaired after the war, they also caused a serious decline in the strength of this combat mobile force. Overmars snorted and stood up, and said to Guo Yingying, "You immediately return to the ship for command." Those two fleets are not reliable, and the enemy only needs to adjust the parameters of the mine launch, and then he can concentrate his firepower on us. Gotta hold on! How long will it take to join Kintaro? β
"About half an hour." Guo Yingying looked at his watch and said, "The enemy's tricks will not succeed, after all, we have two modern class, and the two planetary attack fleets have not suffered major damage." β
"There you go." Overmars waved his hand.
Guo Yingying took advantage of the gap after the second wave of mines were launched to return to his flagship in a fast liaison boat. He had just returned at the right time, and had just walked onto the bridge when a third wave of mine attacks came. The attack was particularly ferocious, with the battleships and the Hyundai-class in front of them being shot frequently, and the violent explosions shook the supership. Xiao Guo stumbled to the command seat, put his military hat straight, and ordered loudly: "All the frigates are retreating, and the cruisers and above are coming forward to resist the counterattack." Make a fire coverage area allocation table now and do it in less than three minutes! Once completed, each ship is responsible for defending its area of responsibility. Shoot non-stop as soon as the enemy attacks! β
The machine thunder poured down on the fleet of Overmars and Guo Yingying like a torrential rain swept by a typhoon. After the correction of the orbital parameters, the strike range of the third wave of machine mines was quite accurate, completely covering the airspace of the two fleets, and less than 3% of the air space was deflected into the open space, and the shooting skills were very sophisticated. Guo Yingying secretly boasted that the other party's commander was skilled, but on the other hand, he had to worry about whether this side could withstand it. Before the plan came out, it was only possible to rely on the high-defense giant ships in the front row to shoot as much as possible and block the machine mines as much as possible. Even if there is a net, the damage caused by the leak hit on such a giant ship will not be fatal. But there is always a limit to everything, and whether it will be fatal or not depends on when the situation of this passive attack can be reversed, and how often the enemy's machine mine attacks can reach.
The enemy attacks are getting hotter. The two planets, one near and one far away, launched machine mines in batches with a tacit understanding, and achieved almost uninterrupted attacks. However, Guo Yingying and the admiral were not afraid of this mad dog-like tactics, because their battleships had thick skin and thick flesh, and it didn't hurt too much to bite them twice, but they bought time because of this attack, and put the fleet in a tight and loose formation, using the high defense of large ships as a shield in front, and light warships shooting forward in the gap in the second array. In less than 10 minutes, almost zero hits were achieved, and almost all of the enemy's mines were destroyed in the air.
At the same time, the Feria Air Force, which was trailing Group A, launched a surprise attack on the Relondo fleet. Although it was only an air force dominated by fighters, they carried mines! Before he could make contact, a fierce mine attack caught Hongxiang's front by surprise. Hongxiang's original flagship, the "Tianxiang", a salmon-class cruiser, was hit by ten bullets and ignited a fire, which dragged the friendly troops to the rear of the battle for treatment, but it has caused huge casualties. Hongxiang was furious, slapped the table and said, "The two modern class ships are used as shields for me to block the mines!" Kreuzer, Qilu, ready to attack! β
The Hyundai class is a particularly huge warship, 1,500 meters long, 460 meters wide, and 130 meters high. Although the two ships in Hongxiang's hand are shrunken defective products, the volume and shape are still exactly the same. In general frontal combat, the frontal of the modern class is nearly 60,000 square meters, which is a huge shield and an excellent target. But Hongxiang didn't think this was enough (after all, he only had a fleet in his hand, and he had to take the initiative to attack, unlike Overmars and Guo Yingying, who had so many belongings to list as shields), after he turned the modern class over, it was equivalent to using the ceiling to top the enemy's mines, and the area immediately expanded to 690,000 square meters, more than half a square kilometer, and theoretically a modern class could protect a hundred frigates behind. The Feria Air Force seemed to be greatly surprised when they saw him perform such a salted fish turn, and the momentum of the attack could not help but stagnate. Finally reacted, and when the mines were fired again, the two brigades of Kreuzer and Qilu had already separated from the two flanks and inserted themselves into the enemy formation with the advantage of the ship's strong guns. Hongxiang only suffered a wave of machine mines, and the enemy's attack was disrupted.
The Qilu brigade broke through from the center of the enemy army, broke through all the enemy troops in front of it, and killed until the no-man's land behind the enemy formation. As soon as he turned around, he used the gamma cannon that had been accumulated for a long time to destroy the two large mineships hiding behind the Feria Air Force.
At this time, Hongxiang also turned around the two modern classes used as large shields, each fired a gamma cannon, and punched two large holes in the Feria air force formation, causing the crash of thirty or forty Feria fighters. Unexpectedly, the enemy army this time was not at all as high and indestructible as before. After being attacked by Hongxiang, Kreuzer and Wang Qilu from three sides, the tight assault formation that had been prepared to attack the Leilondo fleet suddenly collapsed, and it was scattered into four or five teams that fled backwards through the main formation of the Leilondo fleet without a single life. Hongxiang didn't expect the enemy to run so fast, and he didn't have time to command the frigate hiding behind him to disarm the defensive formation, so he had to sweep it with the short-range defensive guns of the modern class for a while, and shot down thirteen enemy planes, but there were still more than fifty fighters who broke through his defense area and killed Ovimas and Guo Yingying!
This is really a big surprise, did you encounter the legendary kamikaze? But I've heard that those are small planes with radiation attacks, and they don't work against the unscaled modern class that Admirals and Heroes ride. Only then did Hongxiang think of the scene when those planes were attached to his cheap and shrunken version of the modern class and let himself follow in the footsteps of Kuibyshev's predecessors, and he couldn't help but shudder. The Cold War is the Cold War, and there are still important things to do - he hurriedly ordered: "Kreuzer, chase me quickly!" If they hurt a single hair of the Admiral, come and see you! β
The speed of the Feria fighter is not fast, and even with the addition of an acceleration module, it can only be similar to the cruiser in the short sprint, and far inferior to the frigate. But Kreuzer had already rushed to the middle of the Feria formation, and he hadn't had time to turn around. Suddenly, the whole enemy ran away, and it was extremely difficult for him to chase after him. Finally caught up, biting the tail and shooting down five or six ships, the ship formation of Overmars and Guo Yingying in front was already visible to the naked eye! If these Feria fighters really launched a special attack......
Thankfully, it didn't happen. Things happened too quickly, and Hong Xiang was in a hurry and forgot to inform Guo Yingying in advance, and as a result, these more than fifty Feria fighters rushed to the front from any angle such as the top of their heads, the soles of their feet, etc., as if they did not exist. At this time, the two fortress planets just gave up the continuous attack mode and set the sequence of successive launches, so that this wave of mines reached the defense area of the fleet of Overmars and Guo Heroes at the same time, and the instantaneous attack density even reached 688 pieces per second, almost reaching the attack frequency of "one bullet per second per meter of space" researched during the First World War in the Middle Ages.
Guo Yingying and Overmars began to feel struggling, and the original artillery defense network finally showed loopholes, and many machine mines broke through the net, blooming brilliant flowers in the dark on the giant ship in the front row. As a result, the two fleets had no energy to deal with these Feria air forces, whose first priority was to escape. However, the Nakai fleet, which was hiding behind and barely breathing, fired at random and unorganized, and shot down seven or eight more Feria fighters, regaining some face.
This wave of super-dense attacks has caused certain losses to both Overmars and Guo Yingying's front team, and if such attacks can continue, they will probably have to give up the formation defense and run back as much as they can. Unfortunately, Ying couldn't last long, this wave of attacks lasted for a minute and then stopped, and the two planetary fortresses began to reload and readjust the parameters, and Overmars and Guo Yingying took the opportunity to instigate the fleet to quickly retreat some distance while maintaining the formation. In the middle, he withstood two waves of machine mine attacks, and finally Hongxiang formed a team to come to support. Overmars was secretly annoyed that the exquisite tea vessel that his daughter had bought for him was shattered during the mine attack, and when he saw Hongxiang coming to help, he was unhappy and angry, and yelled, "What are you doing? The enemy didn't stop it, and it didn't come to support us for a long time, so we have been subjected to a mine attack for so long?!"
"Admiral, I did my best." Hongxiang sent a report of the damage to the fleet: "I have only been attacked in one wave, but I have suffered more than all your warships combined--my two Hyundai-class ships have been hit by more than 1,200 bombs!" β
Guo Yingying looked at Hongxiang's combat record and said in amazement: "You really dare to take a risk and use the largest area to accept the enemy's attack!" β
"It was the quickest way to crush the enemy, and the total losses were minimized, with few ships outside of the Hyundai class damaged. And I've always had a lot of experience in defensive operations, and I'm confident in the modern grade, even if it's a defective product. Seeing that the general was silent, Hongxiang knew that he was not happy in his heart, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "Although I was beaten very badly, I can still stand it, and I will repair it after the beating." Let's talk about these two planets. Admiral, please instruct. β
Overmars had already held his breath, and when he heard this, he shouted: "Kintaro, your two Hyundai-class, battleships and all previous ships are involved in the shelling. All of our ships and the Hero Fleet's ships equipped with gamma cannons also attacked, and we took advantage of the time difference in the reload time after one of their mines was fired, and returned them a saturation attack! β
Half an hour later, the entire three-branch attack fleet slowly advanced in a loose formation, causing the Fortress Planet of Feria to launch another machine mine attack. Because the formation was very loose this time, most of the mines were fired into the void, and most of the rest were destroyed by defensive artillery fire. At the moment when the frequency of mine arrival dropped sharply, more than sixty heavy warships armed with gamma guns stood out among the three fleets, and they quickly reached the extreme of range. The first to arrive was the high-speed Thunder Lotto Fleet's "Long Sky" class destroyer group, which arrived at the firing position, and began to accumulate gamma guns without waiting for the friendly forces behind to arrive in a tight formation, and began shelling the underground mine launch base of the first planet.
This time the bombardment was precisely calculated and planned, and the gamma cannons of more than sixty warships were all fired at the same target, and with the roar and tremor of the battleships, the sky was swept through one after another with a stream of fiery fire from gamma cannons, and they bombarded the first planet with surgical precision. This is Group Aβno, it should be said that the entire expeditionary force has invested the strongest firepower since it left the three-star operation. The intense light from the violent explosion caused by the gamma cannon on the first planet continued to shine, and sometimes the particularly strong flash even penetrated the battleship, instantly overshadowing the light. The three main generals who cast this power of creation stood on their respective bridges and watched this magnificent scene, their fists clenched and their breathing heavier. After a long while, after the first round of attacks, Guo Yingying broke the silence: "One-third of the first planetary machine mine position has been eliminated. All prepare to defend against mine attacks, and accumulate energy to prepare for the second round of shelling! β
"If we continue to bombard like this, I'm afraid that asteroid will bomb us into orbit, right?" Hongxiang suddenly burst out of a sentence.
Overmars's mood improved at this time, and he laughed when he heard this: "The feeling of smashing the stars with one hand really makes me, a veteran, feel a little passionate and can't help myself." However, Kim, let's express the feelings of these young people after the battle is over! β
By the time the first round had been completed, the enemy's mine attacks had been disrupted. The firepower of the first planet was greatly weakened, and the coordination with the second planet was also greatly problematic, and the more than sixty warships in front of the formation used conventional artillery fire to resist the machine mine attack with little effort, and then launched a second round of artillery bombardment in unison. At this point, Ferria can be said to have gone to the general trend. However, just after the second round of shelling, a violent wave of explosions erupted from Planet 1 continuously. The explosion was so violent that countless machine mines flew into the sky and rolled in the air and exploded, as if tens of thousands of fireworks had been set off on the invading army of Group A. Guo Yingying looked at this strange scene, couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered, "What's the matter." Suddenly thinking of a possibility, he pressed the telegraph and asked, "Admiral, did your battleship's shot deviate from direction and hit their ammunition depot or something?" β
"Nope." The admiral's answer was succinct: "I also want to know what happened." β
"The explosion occurred a minute after our shelling, and I don't think it was caused by our shelling." Hongxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "If I'm right, the same thing will happen on the second planet soon. β
Before the words fell, the observers on the three fleets all exclaimed: "Second planet, there is an explosion!" β
"What?" Takeshi Nakai, who had suffered the humiliation of the collapse of the fleet and had not spoken, exclaimed, "What the hell is going on? β
"The enemy saw that he could no longer cause any damage to us, only sacrificed in vain, so he abandoned the base and fled, right?" Hongxiang said: "Without leaving us a little information and supplies, it is indeed much more sophisticated than the guard officers of the Vulture Fortress." β
"Admiral, I demand an immediate attack to pursue the deserters!" Polkin shouted.
Hongxiang interjected: "I think it can be stopped, the enemy's fighting spirit is gone, and he has already taken the first step, there is no need to chase after him." β
"Kim, are you trying to make us bear this shame?" Takeshi Nakai roared.
Guo Yingying understood that Hongxiang was right, but considering the unity issue within the Overmars group, he still didn't open his mouth in the end. Overmars thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead." β
Nakai and Polkin's pursuit was later rated as "pointless", but at this time only this senseless venting could vent the anger in their hearts, and probably Ovimars was the only way to do it. After all, there are many more important things for him......
The post-war summary meeting without the participation of Takeshi Nakai and Polkin did not last long. Hongxiang suggested that the ships damaged in this battle should be repaired for some time, and it was best to wait for a wave of reinforcements from the Samsung side before proceeding. However, Overmars did not think so, and frequently interrupted his assertions, saying: "Kim, you are a young man, how can you be as cautious as an old man!" Zhang Ning has been leading for a long time, if we stay here, should we let him attack Niphelsen alone? β
"I'm not cowardly, but I'm suspicious after seeing the last few times the enemy has done it." Hongxiang said: "In this battle, we won the final victory, but the enemy did not lose. They fled, to Nippelsen. If the enemy in front of us had done the same, we would have encountered ten times as many enemies as we do today near Nippelson, and we would have fought a very hard confrontation. And now the battle line is so long, if they go around the back and cut off the supply line......"
"There's no question of supplies, they're wrong, you're overthinking." "Our ships are large and sturdy, with infinitely endurance antimatter engines and water production systems, and they don't need to be resupplied at all," Overmars said. We just need to get to Nippelsen quickly and concentrate our forces to deliver a heavy blow. What is lacking at that time, can be collected on the spot there. β
"Admiral, the supply also includes follow-up troops, and most of our fleet is light ships without antimatter engines and fresh water manufacturing systems, what should they do?"
"I'm still saying that, you're thinking too much." Overmas said lightly: "Needless to say, repair here for two days, repair the battleships that must be moored to be repaired as quickly as possible, and those who are too injured to move forward will stay here and be on guard." I'm going to give the Space Fleet, which is Huang Er, he's really turned upside down over there, your good boss! I'm going to write him a letter, and if you have anything to say to him, write it and send it as well. β
Hongxiang held his breath and left the conference room. As soon as he walked near the liaison boat, Guo Yingying caught up and said, "Xiao Jin, don't pay too much attention to what the general said. He doesn't mean anything, he just thinks differently than you and me. β
"It's too good, it's not good to be ambitious." Hongxiang scoffed: "Ignore reality! Hero, tell me if I'm right? β
Guo Yingying smiled bitterly and said: "We are all just people at the level of specific tactical implementation, how can we compare with generals and others from a strategic perspective?" Again, we only do what we should do, and leave it to God to decide whether or not we will succeed or fail. And the Admiral is so determined and confident that we should believe in him and support him as always. β
"Hero, your position is really firm." Hongxiang turned around and walked towards the liaison boat, suddenly stopped again, and asked, "Have you watched "Three Kingdoms"? β
Guo Yingying hesitated for a moment and said: "I haven't read it, it's really an ancient history book, but I've listened to the radio drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" intermittently." β
"Yes, yes, that's it, I saw a little bit when I was in Heguo, and that place is called "Three Kingdoms". Hongxiang nodded again and again and said, "I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but I met Huang Er later." After he tried his best to recommend it, I watched it several times. I've always wanted to see which person in the Three Kingdoms he resembles, Liu Bei? Cao Cao? It's not quite like that. However, I saw a male lord who was very similar to His Excellency Overmars. β
Guo Yingying immediately knew that he had nothing to say next, so he had to look at him with a wry smile. Hongxiang said: "Hesitant to seek big things, stingy with your body; Fighting for small profits and fighting for his head and bloodshed -- he is a Yuan Shao-type character. Compared to him, I am more optimistic about you, who is conscientious, diligent, and persevering, hero! β
Guo Yingying's face was as pale as earth, and he shook his hand again and again: "What crazy things are you talking about!" Hongxiang laughed, walked into the liaison boat, turned around and said, "Today's review hero, it's a pity that there is no wine." How about we meet again in Nippelheim in the future, find a place with a great view, have a drink, and talk about the heroes of the world. β
"That's it." Guo Yingying smiled. (To be continued.) )
