Chapter 209: Victory in the First Battle (Part II)
Gao He may stay at the base for a longer time, whether it is Gao He or Xu Li, they all wish that this time was as long as possible.
The results of the Provisional Combined Fleet have finally returned today.
In the case of mental calculation or unintentional, with the vast majority of troops, the ambush warfare commanded by Admiral Weiss can simply be standardized into the textbooks of military command.
In the first salvo, about hundreds of enemy warships were all hit, and several of our warships took care of a half-human warship, and almost half of the enemy's warships were destroyed in the first round of attacks.
Of course, there are also those who are detected in advance and avoided in time, but after all, they are still a minority. But the enemy's reaction was also extremely fast, and once attacked, there was no chance at all. Small attack planes rushed towards the fleet like locusts, and even the small anti-aircraft guns on the battleship could not destroy so many small fast-moving targets at the same time.
The fleet attack quickly evolved into a confrontation between small attack ships and attack aircraft, after all, our side had an absolute upper hand in terms of strength, and the enemy only rushed to meet the battle, or still took a big advantage.
However, the half-human fleet that found something wrong showed a ruthlessness that was different from that of humans, the small attack aircraft was simply deadly, and the huge mothership attack aircraft hit it directly after the ineffective artillery attack, and between a few rounds, it also caused a certain amount of losses.
Of course, compared with the brilliant result of the fleet's final annihilation of the enemy fleet, the losses of the battleships and attack ships were simply negligible. This well-prepared ambush battle ended in a resounding victory. In addition to the fact that less than a hundred battleships escaped because they were too far away to enter the ambush circle, there were probably more than 700 battleships that became space garbage.
No one paid attention to a small lifeboat that flew out of a certain battleship that exploded after being attacked by an enemy battleship. There are too many such lifeboats, both human and semi-human, and there is simply no time to take care of them during the battle. And these lifeboats basically have no means of attack, except for life support and short endurance, and no one will see them as a threat. This lifeboat was ignored by everyone, and slowly disappeared in a strange direction, leaving the human warship group.
When the results were returned, everyone who saw it cheered. Since the start of the war with the half-humans, except for the first diplomatic ship incident, the others have basically won consecutive battles, from Takatsuru capturing enemy ships, to luring the enemy deep into being buried by a supernova explosion, plus today's sneak attack, all of them are big wins.
The morale of mankind is now high, and the soldiers who failed to participate in the war look at the glorious victory scene in the war report with envy, while the soldiers who survived the war are happy to spread their smiles. The whole army was almost full of calls for smashing the Huanglong plough court and sweeping the holes.
However, in addition to the great victory, the upper echelons of the military department are still endlessly worried, who can guarantee that the war will be won forever? This is just a sneak attack, and it is not unusual to have such a result, but who can guarantee that humanity will be able to maintain the same superiority in a face-to-face frontal battle?
The attack power of the enemy's warships was indeed not to be underestimated, and the will to fight at the last moment and the determination to break the wrist of the strong man who was exposed when he found that he could no longer be spared was really a little shameful to the human fleet, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years.
Even a battered warship will exhaust its last ounce of energy and launch a final attack in the face of a human aggressive warship. Not a single battleship was destroyed in defeat.
The remaining enemy ships in the later stages of the battle, facing the red-eyed human fleet, did not care whether they had their own small attack aircraft in front of them, and attacked without discrimination. Most of the warships lost by humans were damaged under such circumstances, thinking that the enemy would not attack their own soldiers, and neglecting to evade.
Gao He and Xu Li were also in the cheering crowd, this kind of large fleet scale battle, one person's ability is too limited, even a cultivator is no exception. Gao He and Bingsha watched the near-perfect performance of the human fleet as spectators, and when the last enemy ship exploded, they also cheered for the victory of the human race.
According to the information returned by Takatsuru's reconnaissance, the maximum two-day voyage ahead is the enemy's three planets gathered together. Admiral Weiss even had the idea of taking advantage of the victory, but the images sent back by the reconnaissance satellite surprised everyone. This time, the enemy's fleet of less than 1,000 ships was destroyed, but at least tens of thousands of warships in the enemy's nest finally got a warning and rushed towards this side with great momentum.
The enemy has not yet mastered the location of the space jump point, and can still rely on this magic weapon to win for a long time to gain the advantage again, there is no need to hand over the entire temporary combined fleet and the space jump point, which is currently the most important advantage. Half a day before the arrival of the enemy, Admiral Weiss had ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and quickly evacuated from the star field, leaving the enemy with a piece of space junk that not only had no recovery value, but also blocked the way and interfered with the scanning information.
The number of half-human warships was expected by the intelligence department. It's about the same size as humans, but these guys consume more than ordinary humans. The three usable planets, close together, can greatly reduce the number of garrisons in the star field, so the size of the entire force should be slightly smaller than that of humans. This is also illustrated by the intelligence of the emergency response force dispatched by the local government after this hasty battle.
But one thing that needs to be considered by the above and the intelligence department is that these half-humans are too good and superior in physical condition compared to ordinary humans, superior to the point that in small attack aircraft, enemy pilots and attackers can tolerate changes of direction and acceleration with greater acceleration, and in one-on-one small attack aircraft duels, almost no human beings are opponents of the enemy.
This is an irrefutable disadvantage, and it is also an aspect that needs to be paid attention to in future wars. In light of this, the Parents' weapons research and development base quickly adjusted its research direction, focusing on ship-based weapons against these fast and agile small attack aircraft. If they are allowed to get close to the battleship, I really don't know what the outcome of the war will be, when our pilots are not opponents?
Of course, the shoulders that are thinking about these issues are either generals or handsome stars, and they have nothing to do with Gao He, a captain, or Xu Li, a researcher. In the past few days, Xu Li, the king of Gaohe Bingsha, has gathered together, in addition to watching the battle report, he has been looking for a way to modify the Gaohe battleship.
In the entire military, there is only a special exception for Gao He's battleship, and others don't have Gao He's generosity like Gao He, who is not an energy source, and of course they can't afford to use such a high-level formation. Moreover, all the technologies used on the Gao He battleship are experimental versions, and before they are all stable and have undergone rigorous testing and release, even if someone like General Zhao Qi has this authority and power asks for it, others will not dare to use it for them.
For the first time, there was a casualty list as the military battle report was sent back to the rear. According to the statistics, our side lost three attack carriers, 45 landing ships, 36 ordinary warships, and more than 100 small attack warships. And the enemy's losses were, forty-seven attack carriers, five hundred and seventy-two warships of that type captured by Takatsuru, three hundred and twenty-nine ordinary attack ships, and more than three thousand small carrier-based attack aircraft. By contrast, humanity can be considered a complete victory.
However, along with the loss of the battleship, there were almost 20,000 casualties among officers and soldiers. Although it was a piece of cake compared to the enemy's nearly five or six hundred thousand casualties, the families of those soldiers who had been at peace for so long were not in the same mood.
It is true that the news of victory is very happy and encouraging, but if this happiness and encouragement is based on the eternal loss of one's loved ones, how much happiness is accompanied by great pain.
This is the first time that mankind has lost tens of thousands of soldiers at the same time, following the loss of millions of soldiers in the energy war. But the difference is that even the relatives of the martyrs, including those who were hurting, did not complain about such sacrifices. Our sons have died on the battlefield against the abominable mad demi-human demons who have brought war to humanity, and when they die, they have reaped at least many times the corpses of their own casualties.
In this high-profile propaganda by the military, all the soldiers who died were awarded the Medal of Honor for War, and everyone's name and brief deeds were made public in the media, and everyone's achievements could be seen at any time.
To this end, the United Council has specially approved the construction of a monument, and the names and archives of the soldiers who died will be kept in the memorial and memorial specially erected by the military in connection with this war, and they will be remembered and commemorated by all mankind, just like the fifty volunteers who died on the diplomatic warship and the soldiers who will die in the fight against the half-humans in the future.
Of course, the military does not forget about those who are still alive and well. Everyone counted their exploits according to their military badges and the records of the soldiers' handheld computers, and in addition to the War Medal of Honor, those lucky ones who shot down the enemy ship with their own hands received an additional medal of merit made from the wreckage of the enemy warship. All officers and men were commended by the General Assembly and the Military Council.
The commander of the mission, Admiral Weiss, was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, was awarded the title of Star General, and was entrusted with the important task of defending and attacking the next Earth star field.
General Zhao Qi was also rewarded, but relatively speaking, these are relatively secondary.
The biggest hero, Gao He, is currently in the process of refitting his battleship with his head covered, and it is not yet known that he and Bingsha have each been awarded a medal of merit with the same merit as Admiral Weiss, and the order for promotion is being approved above.
