Chapter 395: Hit and Run
Although the situation is dangerous, only after seeing through it can we know how to deal with it.
No one wants to believe Shen Chengwen's speculation, but everyone knows very well that they would rather believe it than believe it. In response to this possibility, Yang Yi made adjustments to the deployment. With the assistance of Jackson and the officers and men of the Strategic Squadron, Lin Liexun led nine Shadow Ships to find and attack the transport fleet of the Silicon Charm Alliance in the vicinity, diverted the fleet of the Silicon Alliance, and tried to figure out the deployment of the Silicon Alliance's forces. Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen, and most of the officers and soldiers of the female warrior guard led by Otis waited nearby on the "Star Sea", looking for an opportunity to break through the blockade of the Silicon Charm Alliance, try to return to their home galaxy, and tell everyone what they found here.
Obviously, not everyone was satisfied with Yang Yi's arrangement interference.
Shen Cheng was very unconvinced when he heard this, thinking that he should lead the strategic squadron to follow Lin Liexun to carry out the task of breaking diplomatic relations, and it was Jackson who returned with Yang Yi. It's just that there is one thing, no matter how dissatisfied Shen Chengwen is, he can't change it. That is, under Lin Feng, Shen Chengwen is the supreme commander of the special investigation team, and only he can represent the special investigation team, Jackson obviously can't do it, so he has to accompany Yang Yi back to his home galaxy.
You know, no matter what the outcome is, the special investigation team needs a talented commander.
After making arrangements, Yang Yi and Lin Liexun acted separately.
In fact, Otis was also dissatisfied with this, because according to Yang Yi's arrangement, the female warrior guards had to hand over the command of the nine Shadow Ships to Lin Liexun, and they also had to arrange some officers and soldiers of the Guards to assist, which was equivalent to losing control of the nine Shadow Ships. Fortunately, Otis was just dissatisfied and didn't go against Yang Yi, because Yang Yi was the chief staff officer and royal advisor, and he had the support of the empress.
It's just that. For Yang Yi, the next step is still to wait.
According to Lin Liexun's judgment, the spaceships gathered near Crete Star will not set off together, but will split into several fleets and go on the road separately, because there are too many, and the larger the fleet. The slower the speed of sailing, and in addition, it is not only difficult to organize tens of thousands of ships, but also troublesome to protect, requiring the use of a large number of escort warships. Comparatively speaking, it is more convenient to have a smaller fleet.
In response, Lin Liexun decided to ambush near the star system and attack after the fleet left the star system.
Although there are only nine Shadow Ships, they only need to launch a surprise attack and fight quickly. Without the aim of destroying the enemy's transport ships, the enemy will not be given many chances. To put it simply, as long as they withdrew before the enemy's escort warships arrived, Lin Liexun and the others would not be in much danger.
Maybe one attack is not enough to attract the attention of the enemy, then launch several more attacks.
As long as Lin Liexun diverted the enemy's attention, Yang Yi would be able to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away and infiltrate the enemy's defense line by taking advantage of the gap that appeared when the enemy mobilized the fleet to encircle and suppress Lin Liexun. As long as his luck is not too bad, Yang Yi has a good chance of returning to his home galaxy before being discovered by the enemy.
As for how long it will take. Yang Yi didn't know, and Lin Liexun didn't know either.
After separation. "Xinghai" did not fly far and went to the gravitational singularity near the star system. Because there is no need to use a propulsion system to stabilize the gravitational singularity, and no original energy is used, the probability of detection is very low, even if an enemy ship passes nearby.
Of course, Yang Yi and they are not just waiting.
As previously arranged. Lin Lixun would send messages regularly, especially after attacking the enemy's convoy. The exact time to set off is determined by the battlefield situation, that is, whether the enemy has dispatched the main fleet to deal with the broken fleet led by Lin Liexun.
Three days later, Yang Yi received the first battle report.
It was the same as Lin Liexun had expected. The transport ships gathered around Crete departed, and the first fleet to depart was about five hundred, all troop carriers. The attack went very well, with the nine Shadow Ships effortlessly destroying the four ships escorting the escort before slaughtering them. Destroyed hundreds of ships before the enemy's capital ships arrived, and escaped.
However, the enemy did not chase after him.
Of course, it can't catch up.
What's more, there were less than ten capital ships rushing to support, which was far from being the main fleet, that is, the attack launched by Lin Liexun did not have an immediate effect.
According to Lin Liexun's description in the battle report, it will take at least a few more attacks before the enemy will take it seriously.
Another five days later, Lin Liexun attacked again.
This time, the convoy of transports attacked consisted of more than a thousand troop carriers, and was covered by twenty warships, including four S-class capital ships. Although Lin Liexun grasped the initiative of the sneak attack and caught the enemy by surprise, and the combat effectiveness of the Shadow Ship was indeed strong, destroying two S-class warships in one fell swoop, and destroying nearly a hundred transport ships in the subsequent battle, but the enemy's reinforcement fleet arrived quickly, and Lin Liexun had to order to stop the attack. What's more, the approaching enemy fleet pursued the fleeing broken fleet, and pursued it far away. If it weren't for the speed of the Shadow Ship, and Lin Liexun had long been ready to run away with one shot, I am afraid that he would have been overtaken.
It's just that Lin Liexun still mentioned in the battle report that there are not many enemy ships rushing in, and there are no SSS-class battleships, and there are only three SS-class battleships with the strongest combat effectiveness, so they are not the main fleet, let Yang Yi and them wait and see for a while, and don't act rashly for the time being.
The problem is that eight days have passed, and if I wait, I'm afraid I'll have a lot of dreams.
After considering various circumstances, Yang Yi decided to leave and return to his home galaxy.
Although there are certain risks, waiting may not lead to better results. Besides, time is precious, even if it's risky.
The most important thing is that Lin Liexun's attack has already hurt the enemy and attracted the attention of the enemy.
In the two attacks, Lin Liexun and his team destroyed a total of more than 200 troop carriers, and mainly large troop carriers capable of carrying ten legions, and also destroyed more than a dozen escort warships, including two S-class warships. In addition, both attacks took place near the Trik system. If the Silicon Phantom Alliance still doesn't make any moves, then those Silicon Phantom warriors in the Trick system don't want to leave.
Obviously, this is an intolerable outcome for the Silicon Alliance.
Don't forget, according to Shen Chengwen's speculation, the Silicon Charm Alliance is preparing for a new attack, so those Silicon Charm Legions in the Trick Galaxy must be of great value. If these legions are trapped in the Trik system and are unable to deploy as planned, the Silicon Alliance's offensive operations will be affected. Whether it is a postponement of an offensive operation or the redeployment of troops from elsewhere will have an impact on the already completed plan.
The most effective way to do this, of course, is to eliminate potential threats.
Unless the Silicon Phantom Alliance abandons its plan to enter the Western Region, it will send its main fleet to encircle and suppress the elusive broken fleet.
The problem is that the Trick system is far away from its home system, and there is no main fleet nearby.
Obviously, the Silicon Alliance can only transfer all the nearby warships and temporarily form a main fleet, so there will inevitably be loopholes in the defense of the nearby star system.
Yang Yi's judgment was not wrong, when the "Star Sea" completed its first space jump and came to the Langton system, which had long been occupied by the Silicon Charm army, it did not encounter the warships of the Silicon Charm Alliance, and did not even find a few patrol ships, only a few legions left in the star system.
Obviously, the legions of the Silicon Charm Alliance have nothing to worry about.
The "Star Sea" just passed near the Langton system, using the Langton system as a reference for the next space jump, even if its whereabouts were exposed and discovered by the enemy, it would not be attacked, after all, the Silicon Phantom Legion responsible for occupying the star system had no large warships available.
In addition, there are many ships of the Human Federation or other civilizations operating in the North Fourth District, especially the elusive raid ships and reconnaissance ships. Even if the whereabouts of the "Star Sea" were discovered, the garrison in the Langton system would think that it was an enemy ship that happened to pass by.
After completing the second space jump, Yang Yi received the third battle report from Lin Liexun.
This time, it was not a battle report of an attack on the enemy's transport fleet, but a battle report of an attack.
As Yang Yi guessed, the Silicon Alliance dispatched the main fleet, but there were only three SSS-class warships, and most of the enemy ships were S-class. In other words, this is a temporary patchwork of the main fleet, whose mission is to destroy the broken fleet that attacks the transport fleet.
In this battle, Lin Liexun and the others did not take much advantage, but they did not suffer much losses.
In order to capture this broken fleet, the Silicon Alliance made a bloody investment, allowing five hundred transport ships to leave the Trik system without cover. Before the main fleet arrived, Lin Liexun and the others had already destroyed nearly three hundred transport ships and captured one. Because there was no warship to escort him, after the attack, Lin Liexun was ready to retreat at any time, and he also gave an order in advance. That's right, when the main fleet of the Silicon Charm Alliance arrived, the nine Shadow Ships broke through separately and quickly got rid of the enemy's main fleet, only two Shadow Ships were slightly damaged, and there were no casualties, and Lin Liexun and the others also obtained a valuable piece of information from the captured transport ship.
That is, these transports are not carrying silicon warriors, but equipment used to build space fortresses, and the destination is the Edge Star.
In other words, the Silicon Alliance is preparing to build a space fortress near the edge star, and it is even possible to directly transform the edge star into a space fortress. The reason is simple: the marginal star is a lone star with no large objects nearby, and the nearest star system is light-years away. Unless the Silicon Alliance builds a fortress with ships, it can only be built by modifying the edge star.
Either way, the speculation of the Silicon Alliance's foray into the Western Region has been confirmed, and it will soon become a reality.
Lin Liexun didn't let Yang Yi wait any longer, and clearly mentioned that Yang Yi had to return to his home galaxy as soon as possible so that the military department could prepare for the offensive deployment of the Silicon Charm Alliance. (To be continued.) )
