Chapter 85 (I)

When the 10th Combined Fleet reached the bottom of the double V shape and was just about to move to the flanks, the flagship's radarman suddenly shouted in panic: "Enemy attack!" Directly in front of him...... "The rest of him couldn't shout anymore, because hundreds of thousands of laser beams launched from the pitch-black cosmic abyss were already rushing towards him.

These 70,000 Federation warships were destroyed by this head-on blow, and four-fifths of their forces were destroyed in an instant. They also have the front of the battleship facing the laser beam, so it is less likely to explode after being shot. The other fleets with their jets facing towards others and in a double-V formation were even more miserable, with their backs to the enemy, and they were lined up to be beaten like fools. Almost casually, a laser beam hits the jet port and it explodes. Therefore, the other four fleets lost one-tenth of their forces at once due to this trick of shooting cold guns in the back.

The rear of the Federation fleet, which had suffered heavy losses, immediately began to be chaotic, and the commander of the 200,000 Lacey troops who were chasing all the way saw this scene and couldn't help but shout with joy: "The enemy's command system has been destroyed!" Give me a blitz! With the commander's order, the 200,000 Lacey troops immediately formed an assault formation and attacked the two federal armies that had changed from V-shaped to U-shaped.

The 12 Federation commanders, who were initially startled by the shelling of the rear army, saw the enemy approaching and immediately gave the same order: "The undamaged battleships will immediately return to formation!" All artillery aimed at the front of the enemy and fire! ”

As the sound of fire fell, the Federation battleship, which had not suffered any losses in front, immediately began to move its position while firing at the top of the enemy's conical spire, and slowly a new W formation appeared in front of the enemy.

The commander who was hiding in the rear of the Lacey army saw that the conical spire of the self-army formation had been smoothed out, and couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Why do they still have organizational surnames?" Isn't their chain of command destroyed? "What the commander of the Lacey army could not have imagined was that these young commanders did not place their flagships in the middle or tail of the fleet, as was customary, but at the front of the fleet when they charged, and last when they retreated.

When the fierce battle began in front, the commanders of the three 10th Combined Fleets, who were already in tears, wiped away their tears and began to rescue the damaged battleships with the remaining men. They originally followed the motto of the Shaozhuang faction to charge ahead and retreat behind, and to cover the troops behind, but they didn't expect that they, who had already made sacrifices, actually survived because of this.

In a battle when the warships of the two sides are of similar rank, the only way to determine the outcome is to rely on the combination of formations, the level of command ability, and the number of troops. According to this standard, the Lacey army could not catch up with the federal army on all sides, and the defeat was certain. But when the federal army beat the rebels in front of them and began to be chaotic, a dense Lacey army suddenly appeared in the direction of the laser beam just now.

The appearance of the Lacey Army, the Federal Army was not much surprised, they had long been aware, because since there was a long-range laser beam attack, of course, a large number of warships had arrived. When the Federation Army began to gain the advantage in the attack on the Lacey Army just now, it had already slowly turned the warships behind to turn their heads and be on alert. So as soon as the new Lacey Army appeared, the Federation Army immediately greeted them with hundreds of thousands of laser beams.

This group of troops numbered about 300,000 warships, and the Lacey army, which was advancing rapidly, was immediately beaten by these hundreds of thousands of rounds. Seeing the enemy ships begin to explode, the officers and men of the Federation Army couldn't help but cheer, but their cheers soon stopped, because they found from the screen that among the enemy ships that were hit, there were only a few battleships that exploded, and the others continued to pounce on them without incident.

"Suffer! The opposing team's battleships are superior to ours! A well-informed radarman immediately shouted in alarm.

"Don't panic, even if their warships are of a higher level than ours, they are only a small fraction of them, and our army is three times the strength of the other party! Give me an attack! "The commanders of the three 10th fleets, who temporarily served as commanders of the rear, saw that the soldiers were a little panicked, and hurriedly said this to the entire rear.

When the soldiers thought about it, they were right, there were only 100,000 ordinary warships in the entire Lacey Army, and the remaining 800,000 were low-level warships like themselves, and there were millions of low-level warships on their side, as well as 300,000 ordinary warships, which could definitely win. Thinking of this, the morale of the soldiers was boosted and they began to launch a fierce counteroffensive.

The Federation commanders who were fighting in the front saw that the rear was short of troops, and immediately prepared to send a fleet back to support, but as soon as this proposal was put forward, it immediately became a mess, because the commanders felt that the enemy in front could be solved by leaving only two fleets, and the 300,000 troops in the back were the focus. Anyway, it's a sentence: fresh bones, everyone wants to nibble on a few bites.

After discussion, these commanders decided to send the 8th and 9th Combined Fleets to the rear for reinforcements, and the 6th and 7th Combined Fleets to continue to attack the enemy directly ahead. The commander of the Lacey Army in front and behind was not stupid, and when he saw that the thick enemy array in front began to thin and thicken in the back, he immediately understood the intention of the Federation Army.

The two commanders of the Lacey Army seemed to have a clear heart, and when the Federation Army began to move, they opened their mouths and ordered at the same time: "Assault the whole army!" Squeeze me into the enemy camp! Disrupt their formation! With the order of the commander, the Lacey army was not afraid of death with the engine fully turned on and rushed towards the federal army.

Feeling the fierce attack of the enemy army, the commanders of the Federation were not idiots and immediately understood the enemy's intentions, so they hurriedly ordered: "Block the attack!" Resist and contract to form a ball formation!

At this time, looking from the sky above the universe, it can be seen that the Federation could not maintain the W formation under the fierce flanking of the enemy forces in front and behind, but the Federation Army was not squeezed into its own array by the enemy army, and began to resist stubbornly while slowly shrinking back the outstretched wings. Soon, a ball-shaped formation with all-round defense appeared in front of the Lacey Army.

The two formations of the Lacey Army, which were flanking in front and rear, also changed their formation at this moment, and the two sides of the two formations were connected together to form a wide circular formation to surround the federal army.

Although the Federation Army was forced to form a defensive formation, and the Federation Army also lost many warships in the battle just now, it still had an advantage compared to the strength of the Lacey Army in front of it. Although the Federation commanders wanted to organize a breakout before they were surrounded, the quality of the Federation soldiers did not allow them to do so.

Most of the members of the Federal Army are recruits who have never been on the battlefield, and in ordinary combat situations, these soldiers can still fight under the orders of their commanders, and at the same time, they can also be excited to carry out surprise attacks. But when the battle became tragic and complicated, the excitement of these recruits disappeared, and a panicked consciousness began to appear, and when the battleships returned to defense, many battleships collided with each other and sank due to the nervousness of the pilots. Now the panic of the recruits has not calmed down, and it is not a good time to attack.

And because the Lacey Army is weak in its own forces, and the recruits on its own side also have the situation of federal recruits, the Lacey Army has no plans to make a surprise attack. The two sides just went around in circles and kept shelling each other. Although hundreds of warships on both sides were killed with each laser beam fired, compared to the fierce attack just now, this level of damage was only an outskin wound.

On the boundary line of the Konoshi system near the Deira system, a group of nearly 100,000 warships is quietly moored here. In the flagship of the battleship group, Li Tao silently looked at the image on the screen, and this image was a live projection of the battle between the Federation Army and the Lacey Army in the Deira system.

At this moment, Donterres, who was gearing up on the sidelines, said excitedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's time to act, right?" ”

Li Tao showed a strange smile, nodded and said, "Let's go." As Li Tao's not loud words fell, the 100,000 warships immediately boiled, and all the standby engines immediately started running at high speed. The stern of 100,000 warships erupted flames at the same time, quickly crossing the boundary of the galaxy and entering the Deira system.

The Federation commanders, who were directing the battle inside the sphere while reorganizing their morale and preparing for a breakthrough, had already spotted from the radar that a fleet of 100,000 troops was rapidly approaching this direction not far away. But because they thought that even if the enemy had 100,000 more, excluding the defeated enemy ships, the enemy would now only be about 400,000. And his own Federation warships are still about 800,000, so there is no need to worry about it. Moreover, according to the intelligence, the rebels only have a total of about 900,000 troops, and now there are 400,000 in the Sven system, and 500,000 in the Deira system, and now the rebels have sent out the last bit of troops, as long as they are defeated, they can go straight to the rebel capital!

Thinking of this, the commanders immediately excitedly gave orders to their subordinates to prepare for a surprise attack, but at this time, they suddenly found that the outer ring of the Lacey army stopped detouring, and also cracked a passage. "Oops!" When this word had just risen in the minds of the commanders, the fleet of 100,000 warships led by Li Tao pounced on the spherical formation of the Federation Army like an enraged hornet.

At first, the shooters of the Federation warship were still attacking calmly as not long ago, but they soon panicked to find that the laser beam they shot could not cause any damage to the enemy ship, and a laser beam fired by the enemy ship could make the protective shield of their battleship drop significantly, and soon collapsed, and the battleship that lost its protective shield was simply killed by one shot! And the drivers who saw these first panicked, they didn't want to be killed by a bombardment! So began to drive the battleship uncontrollably and reflexively to avoid the laser beam of the enemy ship.

The attacked battleships began to panic, causing cracks to appear in the dense ball formation, and the 100,000 enemy ships seized this great opportunity to increase their efforts to tear open the cracks and squeeze in. Although the federal army that was torn open was desperately ready to repair the wound, these rebel warships that served as sharp blades were all higher than their own warships, and they watched helplessly as the wounds became bigger and bigger.

And the commander of the Combined Fleet, who was in charge of the command on other sides, found that the enemy on his side began to flock to the other end to concentrate, busy watching the entire battle image, after discovering the enemy's intention to divide himself. Finally, the inevitable mistake of the existence of multiple commanders of the United Fleet appeared.

Due to the urgency of time, the commanders gave orders without discussion, and some commanders ordered the fleet to defend on solid ground; Some commanders ordered the pursuit of moving enemy ships; Some commanders ordered to move to the crack to meet the enemy ships. At the same time, the captain of the battleship, who received various orders, did not want to act according to the orders of his direct commander. That is to say, each warship of the combined fleet will act in three parts according to the original organizational structure of a single fleet.

If these combined fleets are not brought together, at most one combined fleet will be divided into 3 parts, and each will fight separately. But now all the combined fleets are huddled together, and the warships of the same fleet are almost scattered everywhere, one in the east and one in the west. While the captain acted separately according to the order, the fleet of densely packed ball formations, some of them attacked outward, some stayed in place, and some squeezed inward, making the entire formation chaotic in just a moment.

If you look at it from the top of the universe, the Federation Army is like a rat in a round sack, constantly scurrying around, and the Lacey Army, which was originally surrounded by the ball, is like a hornet swarm suddenly discovering that the enemy that was originally densely wrapped and has no way to bite has exposed a piece of white and tender skin, and then stabbed it fiercely towards this place.

The Federalists' orb was quickly split in half by the ever-increasing length of the swift knives, and then the Laceys Army scattered in all directions in the center of the sphere, quickly tearing the two halves apart. At this point, the chaotic Federation army could only be chased and beaten by the Lacey army that pursued the victory.

In the end, some Federation soldiers who had realized that they could not survive began to lose their minds and rammed the Lacey Army with warships instead of artillery, and the Federation warships surrounded by the Lacey Legion even directly used space jumps, bringing the surrounding battleships into a distorted space and into a black hole world that no one knew.

The mad dog-like counterattack of the Federal Army startled the Lacey Army, thinking that they had already won, so why fight with these madmen? So the Lacey army began to quickly retreat and assemble so that the artillery could be used. Seeing this scene, the commander of the federal army, who had been painstakingly supporting, of course, would not let go of this opportunity and immediately ordered a retreat. With the full cooperation of these remaining commanders, the Federation Army began an orderly retreat.

But how could Lacey just give up the food he had already swallowed? Immediate pursuit, of course. Even if the commander of the Federation is powerful, he can't control his subordinates from retreating at this moment. The Federation commanders, who had sensed that there was no future, drew their guns and pointed them at their heads, ready to apologize to their fallen comrades. But at this time, the Lacey Army, which was frantically slaughtering the Federation Army, suddenly stopped, and then turned around and ran away as if it was burning its buttocks. And at this moment, the frightened Federation army has long escaped from the Dara system.

According to later statistics, the Federation Army lost more than 850,000 warships in this battle alone, and the remaining warships were all scarred, and none of them were intact. Of the 15 fleet commanders who had just been promoted to lieutenant general before the battle, only 4 remained after the war, and only 11 of the 60 generals who had just been promoted from colonel to major general before the war were left after the war. The number of federal casualties in this battle totaled more than 257 million, of which more than 20 million were missing, but missing in space warfare is equivalent to death.

Compared to the Union Army, the casualties of the Lacey Army can be said to be minor. None of the generals of the Lacey Army were killed in the battle, and more than 200,000 warships were lost and more than 60 million were killed or wounded.

At this point, this battle, which lasted for more than 20 hours in the Deira galaxy and dispatched a total of 1.65 million warships from both sides of the enemy, ended inexplicably.

After listening to what happened, Cammochi, who was already paralyzed on the ground, could only look ahead with blank eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "It's over, it's all over, everything is over......

Seeing the chief's appearance, the intelligence officer hurriedly said loudly: "Sir, although my Dera Front has lost, the Sven Front has achieved great success, and the First Combined Fleet led by Vice Admiral Wei Fei not only destroyed all the rebels in the Sven system, but also attacked the rebels' Muli system, approaching the rebel capital Haus!" ”
