Chapter 315: The Fierce Battle in Southern Xinjiang 1
Seeing that wormhole gradually expanding, Yun Haoyu shook his head disapprovingly, and gave the order to retreat very simply.
So far, no matter what skills Cameron has, he is already weak! When the battle is reached here, the deterrent power of the remaining millions of warships is far less than expected, their task has been completed, and they can retire successfully, and the next thing will be completed by the follow-up main fleet!
Clean up the battlefield as fast as possible, take back your wounded and dead officers and soldiers, and the fleet immediately retreats at high speed towards the coming road, ignoring the movement in the rear!
In this blocking battle, the losses of their own side were also quite a lot, less than 150,000 of the 260,000 warships remained, and the casualties of the Ability Legion added up to nearly ten legions! Of course, compared to the losses of the Federation more than ten times, this sacrifice is nothing!
The so-called war is essentially a process of consumption, the consumption of manpower, material resources, financial resources, and other resources. Whoever has a thick foundation and can afford to spend it will have the last laugh!
Although it had only been less than a day since the Federation fleet had been blocked, it had been nearly three days in addition to the time of rushing back and forth, and the main fleet of the Empire was already close to the front line, and it would take another day or two to reach the location of the first encounter.
"Next, we can fight and retreat!" Tian Xuanhao said, "Anyway, there are dozens of wormholes along the way!" Everywhere is set, give them a hard beating, and run away after the fight! See what to do with them? ”
"You're slippery kid! But it's a good idea, so be it! Yun Haoyu said with a smile.
The large fleet of millions of people is really not fast to act, and the much smaller Imperial fleet is much better in this regard, every time it arrives at a wormhole, it will set up an ambush behind the wormhole and wait, and the battleships that the Federation fleet teleported at the beginning will always be hit by their sudden salvo and can't find the north!
When the number of warships arrives at a certain level, the Imperial fleet will take advantage of the speed advantage and escape! Let the other party cry out in vain!
In this way, the trip of the Federation fleet was slowed down again, and by the time the Imperial ** Regiment returned to the area where Berkenam was blocked, the vanguard of the main fleet had arrived, and 150,000 warships were waiting here!
"You're finally back!" In the light screen, a chubby and smiling young lieutenant general saw them and said with relief: "The marshal ordered me to answer you, and from now on, these 150,000 warships will also accept your unified command!" What to do, you can arrange it! ”
"Great!" Tian Xuanhao said happily, "With these troops, we can completely solve the gang of guys in the back!" ”
Now, the generals have agreed to make a break with the Federation fleet here!
The lieutenant general who came to meet him was named Zhu Yin, and he was also an excellent officer who was born in a civilian and grew up in the last war! I also knew each other before, so naturally there was nothing to say when we met, and the transfer of command authority was quickly completed.
The Federation fleet, which had been deflated all the way, had less than 900,000 warships left at this time, and its morale was low, and the officers were detached! It's not the elite of the Federation anymore! If this continues, I'm afraid there will be deserters in a few days!
Cameron, of course, knew that this would not work, and that he could not be led by the nose by the Empire. So he suggested that he should take a different route, or rest in place for a few days before setting off! However, those arrogant sons of wealthy families, the generals of the Shaozhuang faction unanimously resisted his opinion, saying that the soldiers were fast and they had to rush to the front line as soon as possible no matter what! Complete the predetermined encirclement plan, otherwise when the main fleet of the empire comes to help, there will be no chance of meritorious service in the future!
Damn, you bunch of trash who don't understand anything, do we still have chips to spend with them now? Cameron scolded in his heart, but he was helpless!
When the Federation fleet cautiously passed through a wormhole again, it saw the 300,000 Imperial troops that were already waiting not far ahead!
"Are you finally willing to fight head-on?" Cameron was overjoyed, and then his face darkened, now, how many chances does the Federation have to win?
No matter what, this battle still has to be fought! Even for the honor of the federal soldiers, for the sake of their own reputation, this battle cannot be easily abandoned! In fact, he also understood that this was the last time he commanded the fleet!
As for his own ending after this battle, he didn't dare to think about it!
Southern Xinjiang front, Sand Gull Star Field.
The Federation fleet has stepped up its offensive in the past few days, and Yan Qinghong has sent out all the forces that can be used at hand, and has done enough work! Just to attract the attention of the Empire!
At this time, most of the essence of the Federation army has been gathered here, and although the Imperial side is already at a disadvantage, it is still not a short time to break through the defense line!
Fortunately, Cameron has already led the remaining elite of the Federation to bypass the defense line through a secret channel and go straight behind enemy lines, as long as this plan is successful, with the command ability of the Federation military god, the predetermined strategic goals can be successfully achieved! And then everything is easy to do!
Whether it is the Federation or the Yan family, they can get enough benefits and can smoothly implement the next plan!
The Yan family, together with Yuwen, Philip, and William, is known as the four major chaebols of the Federation! Secretly control more than seventy percent of the economic lifeline of this big country, and correspondingly, the federal state apparatus has become a tool in their hands to make profits for themselves!
As the largest chaebol, the Yan family has controlled the federation for hundreds of years, and its ambitions have been revealed. I already plan to rely on the strong strength accumulated over the years to stand on my own and win the sea of stars!
This war against the empire was secretly promoted by the four major chaebols.
However, at the beginning of the introduction of this plan, it was opposed by a group of military veterans led by Cameron, who had their own set of views on the future evolution of the situation, one of which was that at the beginning of the war, we should try to pick the weaker and start with targets closer to the doorstep, and distant and close attacks are the king!
If you fight to the death with a certain big country from the beginning, the result is likely to be a defeat for both sides, and other forces will be cheapened for nothing!
However, the politicians who were so happy only saw the huge losses suffered by the empire in the war, and made the judgment that the imperial power had declined significantly, thinking that this was the best opportunity to take down a great power in one go! As long as the goal is achieved, the Federation will have the abundant resources of the two large countries, and the surrounding small and medium-sized countries will be able to pass on the decision!
At that time, the Federation that has seized the opportunity will definitely be invincible in the ensuing melee and seek as many benefits as possible for itself!
The wishful thinking played well, but unfortunately the truth was not diverted by their wishes, and in the face of provocation, the iron fist of the empire to fight back was still strong and powerful! As a result, it has become such an embarrassing situation so far! The two sides are at a stalemate, and no one can help anyone!
"Count the time, they should have arrived, right?" In the command center of the Federal Army, Yan Qinghong looked at the star map in the huge light screen, which showed the entire territory of the two major powers and many small countries nearby.
In the southern Xinjiang region, at this time, the red and blue colors representing the military strength of the two sides are staggered, and the empire is on the defensive, but the advantage of the federation is not too obvious! It's a draw at best.
"Whether he can successfully break the game depends on him!" Yan Qinghong's gaze looked at the side of the star map, where a thick red arrow extended out from the territory of the Federation, brushed the edge of the battlefield, and inserted itself into the territory of the Empire, making a big circle, until it reached the rear of the Imperial Defense Line, the most important logistics supply channel!
"Aunt, as soon as the southern frontier of the empire is in hand, the power of the family can enter first and win the biggest benefit!" Yan Junyou said excitedly, "The people of the Cangling Organization also said that as long as this battle is won, they will increase their support for the family!" At that point, the situation will be very favorable for us! Maybe the 'Thang Long Project' can be implemented ahead of schedule! ”
"I hope so!" Yan Qinghong replied absentmindedly.
The scheduled time for the combo is almost up, but there is no movement over there, which makes her thoughtful have a bad premonition!
Could it be that something happened over there? It shouldn't be possible!
For the sake of secrecy in advance, the two sides agreed that they would no longer use hyperspace communication after entering the territory of the empire, and would not notify this side until they reached the predetermined area and launched an attack. But that doesn't include the unexpected!
If something happens in the middle of the process and the scheduled plan is affected, it is necessary to inform the rear federal headquarters in time. But right now, nothing has been sent back, good or bad!
"Kid, perhaps, we should start thinking about how to end this military adventure decently!" Yan Qinghong looked at her nephew and sighed secretly in her heart.
Two days later, the bad news came: the Commonwealth fleet that had penetrated deep behind enemy lines was completely destroyed, and a large number of high-ranking officers, including Marshal Cameron, were captured! The main force of the Empire's reinforcements has arrived at the front!
Yan Qinghong, who received the news, hid her face and sighed, the most worrying scene finally happened! Now that the Empire has recovered its strength, the next thing is for the Federation to be pressed and beaten!
But who is to blame? The group of old guys in power in the family don't have a backache when they stand and talk! Such a plan that focused on political significance but ignored the military factor was put forward in the first place! As a result, it turned out to be like this, burying hundreds of millions of federal elites in vain!
The top priority is to continue to strengthen the Federation's military strength on the front line, survive a few fierce battles, and then the two sides will start armistice negotiations!
Due to the wartime system, the major military industrial bases in China are running at full capacity, and millions of cutting-edge fleets have already stepped off the production line, but the training of the ship's crew and the run-in drill with the warship have not yet been completed, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be counted on in the short term! But even so, the Federation must not show weakness, and must withstand the next offensive of the Empire and strive for the most advantageous position possible at the negotiating table!
The next day, the Imperial fleet changed its previous passive defensive posture and began to launch a fierce and decisive counterattack!
