On August 6, 033, the Third Space Fleet marched from Route B to the gate of the Niphelsen system, and encountered a Feria army that had come from another direction and was obviously going back to reinforce Niphelsen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After more than two months of rapid marching, the first group of the Third Fleet arrived here was only 1/3 of the entire fleet, and the modern class was left behind, and Dai Jiangnan personally commanded a battleship "Chunxiao". His intelligence and communication network is still robust, and he can communicate with the entire fleet smoothly, but the combat force that can be commanded by himself is only slightly stronger than that of a planetary guardian fleet. However, the enemy they faced was not small, with more than 300 fighters, and it was extremely close to the base camp of Feria. After a normal commander discovers this kind of enemy situation, the measure he takes will definitely be to hide his whereabouts and temporarily retreat, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

Of course, if anyone says that Dai Jiangnan is a normal person in front of me, I will definitely take a wine bottle and slam it in his face immediately. In fact, Dai Jiangnan has never let me down, he has never lived a normal day as vulgarly as ordinary people. However, the situation he faced this time was very close to the total annihilation of the Feria expeditionary force at the beginning of May at the time of the expedition, and he described the Feria's army at that time as several fatal factors, which were probably only the complexity of the troops. However, the self-proclaimed famous general dismissed all objections and gave a death order as forcefully as a hot-blooded general: "Attack, attack!" Let our blood burn, pour out the wrath of all mankind on our enemies, smash into Nephelson in one fell swoop, and make the Feria army tremble in our thunderous strikes! ”

"Commander, your determination is admired by the subordinates, but ......" Chief of Staff Yue Hong reminded with a worried face: "I must remind you that this is the place where the entire army of Group B was defeated two years ago. How strong Group B was at that time, and what is the power of our current situation, you should know very well in your heart that you don't need to be reminded by me. ”

Dai Jiangnan smiled: "Song Chunlei can directly penetrate Niphelsen from the tens of thousands of sorties of chaotic battles here with only half a fleet, can't I do it in the face of this grass?" ”

It seems that the account cannot be counted like that, but the generals at all levels have understood the determination of the madman and understand that no one can stop this battle. After rapid preparations, the Third Fleet launched an attack on the Feria Army at 0300 hours on 7 August.

For this operation, the Feria army was really unprepared. They received an urgent order for 100,000 reinforcements, and the text demanded "return reinforcements as soon as possible at all costs", which meant that they should avoid all delays and battles on the way, and the speed of the march should be the first priority. Although it is surprising to encounter a human fleet here, the size of this fleet is really not a small one, and with a little help from behind, coupled with flexible and effective command, it is not inconceivable to wipe out this fleet with the current three hundred fighters.

But the Ferias were not at all sure about this formula. According to their statistics, the individual differences in the combat capabilities of human fleets are really staggering. In their opinion, the human fleet is different except for the hateful modern class, and the other warships are about the same size and appearance (of course, this is a problem with their eyes, battleships, cruisers and frigates are far from the same grade, and the Omi class and the Yanagihara class are not the same, this aesthetic is naturally seriously problematic, but to get to the topic, from the perspective of human history itself, since the Age of Discovery, people with yellow, white, and black skin colors have thought that each other's populations are exactly the same- This visual deviation has been maintained for hundreds of years, and our contact with Feria has only been a few years, so we can't be too harsh on their eyesight), in the case of the similar equipment of the fleet under the command, the weakest force they have encountered (Han Zeng's fleet) can be easily defeated with almost three to one troops, and the most stubborn turtle Wang Hongxiang is difficult to move with twenty times the strength, but Hongxiang is still a divine turtle with intuitive and fast speed, and when he smells the wrong smell, he runs crazy, He never passively accepted the place and method of battle arranged for him by Feriya, making it difficult for Feria to find him even if he had more than forty times the number of troops, and the chance of victory was even lower.

The difference between Han Zeng's fleet equipment and Hong Xiang's fleet has always been very large, if Hong Xiang is allowed to command a weakly defended planetary guard fleet to deal with the crazy attack of the Feria army more than ten times, I am afraid that he will only have to retreat all the way, and he will not show 6.666 times more powerful than Han Zeng's divine courage, Song Chunlei's performance in the Second Battle of the Revenant Highway has proved this. But the Ferians did not know this, they could only come up with a fairy formula from three to one to twenty to one, and no one could see which side was more accurate. The current ratio is six to one. In other words, if Han Zeng is in front of them, they will win; If it's a pervert like Hongxiang, it's bound to be a mess. Judging from the arithmetic average, the winning rate of this move is far more than 50%, and even if you lose, you will not lose anywhere. What's more, there is no metamorphosis giant ship like the modern class as far as the eye can see, and the formula is obviously tilted to the three-to-one side.

Despite the tempting idea of a big win before returning to his division, Commander Feria put down his ambitions. The people of Feria were not all ambitious and arrogant, and the commander was more afraid of rebuke from the court-martials than of meritorious service. Moreover, mathematics is a rather esoteric and complex science, and the threshold is definitely more than arithmetic means. With this in mind, Commander Feria, amid the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, tried to ignore Dai Jiangnan's small fleet and swaggered back to Niphelsen. But he forgot a key factor: he did not raise the white flag of armistice neutrality, and even if he did, Dai Jiangnan would not recognize it. This is the "contention zone" outside of the Niphelson system, not a green safe zone.

Madman Dai has always claimed to be very personable, but that is outside of fighting, and when he fights, his face is not much better than that of a butcher. No sooner had Feria's battle group penetrated the Niphelsen Gate than he led the fleet to pounce. The commander-in-chief of the other side also considered the possibility that he might engage in such despicable deeds as "attacking half-crossing," and arranged in advance for 50 heavy fighters equipped with reactive armor to form a heavy firepower mobile team to hang behind, preparing to outflank the rear of the madman in the event of such a situation. But they really didn't expect that the madman would be so fast, they didn't wait for half of the crossing at all, they only crossed a tenth of the time, and those heavy fighters were stronger than the regular Feria fighters, but the speed was slower, and they couldn't keep up for a while. After Dai Jiangnan wiped out fifty Feria fighters near the Niphelsen Gate with a thunderbolt, he led the fleet into the Niphelsen system.

It's troublesome now, it seems that I have encountered a chaotic theory - the commander of this Feria army suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and such a completely unrelated thought appeared in his mind at the same time. He quickly calmed down: although the human fleet rushed into Niphelsen almost unscathed after biting him hard, he would definitely face the trial of a military court, but after all, the other party's power is not strong, as long as it can be strangled in time, it is not impossible to be exempt from punishment or even be honored. He immediately sent an alert to the Feria Army Headquarters, and then led his team to Niphelsen.

This operation was initially small in scale and was nothing more than a "clashes" between two small forces. Before Dai Jiangnan's intentions were understood, what happened there could only be used as a "conflict". Three hours later, however, the Feria Army Headquarters on Nebuchu received a second and final urgent report from the battle group before it was on the verge of annihilation, and it finally attracted some attention—but it was not enough. For them, the turtle king Hongxiang, who was shrunk in the iron egg of the tightly sealed space, was still the first priority, although the appearance of this human fleet was very eye-catching, and it meant that the situation of the large-scale mixed expeditionary army that went from Route B was already bad, but with their power it could not mean something deeper.

The General Headquarters quickly threw the unfortunate news and the hot potato to Field Marshal Sauron, the old donkey of Lamour, who was patrolling the skies over Nebuchu. After cursing a few words of the poor commander and his troops, who had unfortunately fallen not far in front of their homeland, and whose name could not even be left, Sauron decided to send a raiding party.

According to the intelligence feedback, this human fleet is only the size of a planetary guardian fleet, and after fighting against the destroyed Feria battle group, there should be a considerable degree of loss, and there is not much left. For such a fly-level opponent, Sauron only thought about it for ten seconds before handing over the task of forming the crusade team to the staff headquarters, and his precious thoughts should be tightly entangled with Hongxiang. In fact, Hongxiang's brain turned too fast, and if he was not careful, he would fall into his plan, and he would be burned out by the foreshadowing he had planted. After being caught between Hongxiang and the local headquarters several times, Sauron came to an absolutely correct conclusion: his only task was to study Hongxiang's thinking all day long and constantly see through his treacherous schemes, otherwise he would definitely be criticized from the rear far more than the battle losses. As for the actual battle, it is not a big problem, no matter how treacherous Hongxiang is, after all, the strength is very limited, as long as Lord Sauron sees through his treacherous plan in time, it will be enough for those staff officers under him to arrange it themselves.

According to Marshal Sauron's disdainful expression, his staff officers comprehended and labeled Dai Jiangnan as a B-class human general + D-class armed force, and compiled a mineship and four hundred fighters for the raiding team. Sauron looked at it, frowned and said, "The battle on this side of the Gonggong Fortress is also tight", so the fighters shrank to 200 again, and only one mineship was added as a supplement to the 200 fighters that were detained.

The crusade screamed and pounced on the Niphelsen Gate, but after a week of searching, they couldn't find half of it. Sauron originally wanted to just treat Dai Jiangnan as non-existent, but the General Headquarters did not agree, and even sent a special article to scold Sauron. The battle group that was wiped out was not a descendant of Sauron, of course he could ignore it, but for the General Headquarters, it was an indispensable part of the valuable reinforcements that could be drawn back, and it couldn't be said that it was gone, and the culprit who made them "disappear" out of thin air was obviously the human fleet, how could this be fooled around? Sauron wanted to protect his wings, but he was scratched again, so he angrily ordered the raiding party to "go to the Niphelsen Gate and have a look, don't go far and get lost!" ”

As soon as the raiding party passed the Niphelsen Gate, Dai Jiangnan's fleet was stunned. The artillery fire was so dense that it immediately beat the Feria raiders so hard that they couldn't even open their eyes, and one after another burst into brilliant sparks in front of the door. When optical and electronic detection was finally restored, they were horrified to find that the guns of the human fleet were almost attached to the Nippelsen Gate, only a few hundred meters close, and no more than five kilometers at the farthest. Compared to the distances that are usually hundreds or thousands of kilometers in space warfare, this method of combat is no different from firing at the temple with a sniper rifle. Under this kind of zero-distance siege, the crusade team that had just passed the Niphelsen Gate could not hide, and lost half of the Thai in less than ten minutes, and the army was in confusion, and it seemed that the whole army was about to be wiped out on the spot without moving, but the two mineships passed the Niphelsen Gate at the same time at a firing interval, and all the mines were shot out in the sky, so that the Dai Jiangnan fleet, which was almost besieging at zero distance, suffered serious losses and hurriedly retreated, otherwise this crusade team would definitely create a record for the shortest time of destruction of the formed Feria army. In fact, this is also the highest firepower density since the war between humans and Feria, and even far exceeds the poached egg battle of Nebuchu - the Battle of the Five Star Rivers. Dai Jiangnan had been preparing for this operation for a long time, and his fleet was fully adapted to this combat method that he had pioneered.

The Vault Gate is an extremely strange existence, and for a short period of time after the jump starts and ends, it will be unstable in time and space. At such times, optical and electronic observation methods are almost completely inaccurate, that is, the vehicle that has just jumped out of the "door" will become blind in a short time. Therefore, it is far easier to defend the jump gate than to fight in the open area of the universe. However, this instability is two-way, although the jumping vehicle will be blind for a short time, but the target observed by the observer is also unstable, and the interception hit rate in this case is also quite low, and the effect of using nuclear bombs in the space without any propagation medium is also relatively poor, so it is unlikely that there will be an absolutely superior slaughtering operation, and there will often only be the kind of situation that Group A encounters when it is blocked and cannot move forward. However, Dai Jiangnan has been studying this kind of combat for several years, and the combat in this area has been called the grandmaster level, and the Feria battle group a week ago gave him three times in and out of the Niphelsen Gate, and died alive on both sides of the gate. He can fight at ultra-close range within three kilometers of the gate, which no one else can.

When the dazed raiding party fled back to the other side of the door, they found that they were only fifteen scarred fighters left, and the mineship had long since become a disposable. In less than twenty minutes from jumping into the Niphelsen Gate to escaping back, this raiding team has lost more than ninety percent of its strength, the captain and deputy captain and several captains are all dead, and the remaining fifteen fighters are actually divided into six different squads, no one can think of what to do at this time, everyone is thinking about running as fast as possible, the faster the better.

Because of this peculiar reason, Sauron did not get the news of the total destruction of the expedition team until three days later, at this time, the fifteen fighter pilots were sitting in the headquarters of Feria to complain, which probably means that Sauron resisted the orders of his superiors and used so many people to deal with such a powerful enemy, completely sending them to the guillotine, which was disloyal to Feria and betrayal of the emperor. On the way back, these fifteen pilots can be considered to have figured it out: if they fight like this, Sauron will definitely not be able to spare them, and all the high, medium and low-level officers who can take out the top tank are all killed, and it is not a strange thing for Sauron to get angry and execute all these grassroots pilots, so he simply beat a rake, and won the protection of the high-ranking young men and young men of the military who have long seen Marshal Sauron, who is dissatisfied with the old generals, and live strongly.

This is a political struggle that the famous generals are unwilling to face.

Despite being falsely accused, Sauron, with his high qualifications, still did not do anything. The total destruction of this expedition was not a bit unexpected, but it was also possible that the other side had received some reinforcements. Then again, the crusade team seems to be a little less forced! Sauron used half a minute to condemn his carelessness, and then turned his attention to Hongxiang. Anyway, the fifteen pilots couldn't move their positions, and the summons for the court-martials would not be issued to them until at least a month later, and it would be a big deal to send an adjutant to deal with it, and there had never been a case in Feria's short history where the marshal had personally attended a court-martial. For false accusations and trivialities, they are not required to attend; If it was a witch hunt, they would not have been able to attend.

However, it was necessary to give an explanation to the General Headquarters, and the "ten-minute annihilation" of the crusade team had already spread among the army, which was very detrimental to the morale of the army. The attack on Hongxiang is not going well at the moment, so it is better to take this small human fleet! Having developed this line of thought, the General Staff offered a new plan for the formation of the raiding team: five giant ships, four mineships, and five hundred fighters. A force of this size should be enough to counter Dai Jiangnan's ambush in front of and behind the gate.

Although the plan had diverted all the megaships and mineships at Sauron's disposal, he was silent this time. He was pondering how to launch another attack on the Gonggong fortress, so that Hongxiang could not grasp the news that reinforcements had arrived, so as not to come out and cause chaos at such a time. The new raiding party soon set off.

Ten days after the expedition team set off, they still couldn't find Dai Jiangnan, and he didn't seem to have appeared in Nippelsen at all. After consulting Sauron, the raiders made their way through the Niphelson Gate in fear, but found nothing. After asking for instructions again, they searched again. However, one of the team's shortcomings was exposed: it was too slow.

The Feria fighters weren't fast, some of them were slightly faster with acceleration modules, but the giant ships were much slower than them, much slower than the modern human class at full speed, and it was like a turtle crawling when moving forward in a state of alert. This raiding party can just take a stroll around the Niphelsen system, and if they really want to go out, there will be a situation where the whole army can only maintain the formation by advancing at the speed of a giant ship. But there was no way, Dai Jiangnan's two thunderous blows had already scared them, so they slowly searched backwards along Route B, trying to find Dai Jiangnan's fleet and destroy it.

The poor crusaders didn't know that there was no human fleet ahead of them at this point, and as long as they drove over in one go, the theory was enough to smash the Yellow Dragon, destroy the Vulture Fortress defenders, and then engage the Guardians of Relondo directly and cause a global red alert. But at this pace, it would take at least two years to reach the Vulture Fortress, and by then the human world had already passed six years, and the lineup to greet them would probably be very impressive. And Sauron would not have allowed such a large force to break out of his control for so long, not even a tenth of the time.

While the expedition team was struggling to find Dai Jiangnan's traces on Route B, he was leading the fleet from Route A to the direction of the main star. It was not that he had harassed Niphelson once and his conscience found that he had retreated on his own, but that he had another task on this trip: to find out the situation of Route A and find out the truth about the Second Battle of the Highway of the Revenant.

On September 25, the year of the expedition, Dai Jiangnan sent back a "Bourbon Galaxy Expedition Report" to the rear. His field trips confirmed that there were indeed traces of large-scale battles near Porte Bourbon, and Porte Bourbon had been damaged. This is still new in cosmology, and it is difficult to understand why this is happening. As we all know, just as a sharp knife can cut through water, conventional attacks are ineffective against jumping gates. Although there is no doubt that there was a large-scale battle, there is no large amount of wreckage that should be left behind in a large-scale operation - not to mention a large amount, there are only irregular traces of multi-source radial energy release around the center of the operation, and nothing related to artificial manufacturing has been found. After stating the findings at the scene, Dai Jiangnan briefly put forward his own opinion:

"Beifei students are very deep in the study of cosmology, and in some ways even more than the scientific experts who are committed to it. As for the properties and combat methods of the jump gate, we have studied it many times when we were in school, and this research has not stopped. I remember a paper in the school journal that mentioned the theory that a certain amount of positive and antimatter can destroy the structure of the jump gate. The debate on this theory has been going on for quite a long time, but no one has ever tested it, after all, antimatter engines and fuels are very expensive and cannot be consumed, not to mention that in order to ensure safety, the antimatter fuels we mine and use are semi-intermediate states that will not directly interact with positive matter, and under normal circumstances, there will be no antimatter particles in full form.

However, in his place, thinking back on the situation Song Chunlei faced, I can fully understand his mood at that time. If it were, I would have done the same. Song Chunlei should have ordered all warships equipped with antimatter engines to modify the safety control system, violating operating procedures and overloading, and concealing his final strategic intentions behind the appearance of an all-out counterattack against the enemy. I believe he created enough complete antimatter that, at the moment the antimatter engine was damaged, it escaped the control of the safe magnetic field and came into direct contact with the positive matter, releasing a terrifying storm of energy. His fleet turned into the biggest bomb ever, dissolved into nothingness along with the enemies around him, and succeeded in destroying the Bourbon Gate, preventing the enemy from taking advantage of the victory, buying us enough time. The interpretation of some of the documents captured in the eliminated Feria forces basically confirmed my conjecture. According to their descriptions, at the last moment of the Second Battle of the Highway of the Revenant, the desperate human fleet suddenly launched a dying blow, and after an unimaginable weapon was activated, the human fleet disappeared, the Bourbon Gate became impassable, and at the same time, Feria's Chinese army suffered heavy losses, and the commander of the Chinese army, Prince Zacharet, was killed on the spot. The 3,000 enemy forces we encountered at Vulture Fortress were made up of mixed forces of Feria, who had participated in the campaign, and their disorganization, lack of a strong leadership core, and demoralization were the result of Song Chunlei's efforts. He was not limited to the success or failure of the first battle, but laid the foundation for the war within a year and saved us all, this is the style of a famous general! As his senior, I am both proud and ashamed, and he deserves the admiration of each of us. ”

If this report had been written by one of my people, Ovimas would probably have resisted it out of his own camp's position, which has happened many times, and we all know it. However, Dai Jiangnan's identity is so special and neutral, and he will bow his head and admire Song Chunlei, who is more than ten years younger than him, and it cannot but be said to be a strange anecdote. At this time when the heroic model worker was urgently needed, the propaganda machine in the rear abandoned the previous suspicions and worked together, adding all kinds of reasonable and irresponsible imagination extensions and artistic renderings on the basis of the conclusions of this investigation report, and shaped Song Chunlei into a military god. Although this vow is always made when it is published, we do not have to worry at all that it will actually affect the reproductive heritage of the human race.

What we have to do is already an after-the-fact image project, and in a sense, I think it will make the dead unrestful, and it is a very boring just and bad thing. After doing so much publicity, 99.99% of people think of the invincible military god when they think of Song Chunlei's name. But for those of us who knew him well, he was just a little shy, he rarely spoke, he was not good at singing, dancing and socializing, and he felt as if he could not do anything, but was just a child who had just entered the adult world by chance, who was particularly talented in fighting. He's done a lot for us, but he's definitely not doing it for us to hype up and remember him, he hates those things the most. However, we can't help it, and even if he doesn't like it, he should be able to understand it.

The only thing I like to do in all this high-profile work is to personally take the lead in carrying out the words that Song Chunlei left behind when he was in front of the war, and persistently erase Zacharai's name from all military documents and ground historical records. Although it was strange to see in the promotional materials that the name of the enemy faced by the young military god Song Chunlei was actually "unnamed", everyone became accustomed to it after knowing the reason for doing so. Three years later, it would be easy to find someone at random who knew about the two Revenant Highway battles, but it would be very difficult for him to remember the real name of the "unnamed" Prince Feriria. Our media machine is so useful that it's too easy to erase a person's name from the minds of most people. (To be continued.) )
