Chapter 199: Artificial Black Hole
"Uncle......"
Haoyi's sudden appearance made Chen Yun, who was originally on the verge of going berserk, stunned for a while, and then slowly calmed down, his face couldn't help but turn blue and white, and he didn't know what to do.
"Alright, you've done enough! It's just that it's almost hot! ”
Pacing calmly to the edge of the command platform, Haoyi raised his hand and gently patted Chen Yun on the shoulder, and comforted with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, uncle! The subordinates failed to ......" Chen Yun's originally handsome face suddenly turned red, and he muttered in a low voice to ask Hao Yi for his guilt.
"Nothing to be sorry for! This is the battlefield! These three words of yours will kill a lot of soldiers who shouldn't have died! However, hearing Chen Yun's confession, Haoyi's face turned pale but he scolded coldly.
"Yes, uncle!" At this moment, Chen Yun couldn't wait to throw himself out of here immediately, and fight hard with those dog-day alien beasts.
"Let's go to the side and rest!" Haoyi's next faint sentence can be regarded as relieving Chen Yun of his temporary command rights. Chen Yun's face darkened, as if he vaguely caught the disappointment in Hao Yi's eyes, and with a sigh in his heart, he obediently stood aside, the position that originally belonged to him.
"What are the casualties of the detachments and the logistics fleet?" Glancing at the real-time battlefield hologram on the command platform in front of him, Hao Yi frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Up to now, the vanguard detachment has lost a total of twenty-one battleships, and fifteen battleships, including the flagship of the detachment, have suffered heavy losses of varying degrees; The rearguard detachment lost a total of fourteen battleships, ten of which were heavily damaged; The left flank detachment suffered the heaviest losses, with a total of 30 battleships completely destroyed, 8 battleships lost their combat effectiveness, and 11 battleships suffered heavy losses of varying degrees; The right flank detachment suffered the lightest losses, losing only five ships, and nine ships were heavily damaged! The losses of the logistics fleet are being counted, and it is estimated that at least nearly a hundred logistics warships have been lost or severely damaged! ”
Seeing that Haoyi had withdrawn his command, all the staff officers seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the senior staff officers on the side hurriedly reported in succession.
"Well, it looks like these bugs are gaining momentum!" Haoyi nodded and sighed, then frowned, stared at the holographic picture on the command platform in front of him, and was silent for a while.
For a while, all the officers in the entire command center subconsciously stopped their movements in their hands, and they all held their breath, not even daring to come out, for fear of interrupting Haoyi's thoughts. In the minds of these staff officers of the Wehrmacht who are about the same age as Hao Yi, Hao Yi is like the god of war in their minds, and he can always lead them to break out of the predicament and move towards victory in a desperate moment.
When Haoyi suddenly appeared and stopped Chen Yun's almost crazy military order in time, this hope quietly crept into the hearts of the officers.
"Pass my orders! Each unit immediately contracted the formation, allowing the damaged ships to retreat to the center of the formation, maintaining the superior long-range firepower against the insect swarm, and expelling the alien troops that broke into our formation! ”
Haoyi's first order didn't sound anything unusual, but it was the most effective strategy to reduce the casualties of the task force at the moment, so the staff officers on the side hurriedly conveyed it. However, Haoyi's next military order made the staff officers curious.
"After adjusting the formation, immediately change the direction of the main attack! The original right-wing squadron was changed to the vanguard squadron and served as the main attack; The original left flank squadron was changed to the rearguard sub-flotilla, and the rest of the original head flotilla and rearguard sub-flotilla were also changed accordingly! The commander of the logistics fleet was ordered to immediately transfer half of the supply ships used for transporting ammunition and assemble them in a separate formation, and the officers and men on each of the supply ships immediately abandoned the ship and transferred to other warships! This order is urgent, telling them that it must be done within ten minutes! ”
Hao Yi straightened up slightly, pointed to the holographic command platform in front of him, and ordered the staff officer on the side in a deep voice.
"Yes, uncle!" Although they were a little puzzled by the order given to the logistics fleet, out of trust in Haoyi's almost blind obedience, the staff officers still habitually answered in a loud voice.
After issuing these military orders, Hao Yi did not continue to add anything, but stared intently at the real-time video of the battlefield on the command platform, with a solemn face, as if he was deaf to the busyness of the staff officers around him and the continuous explosions outside the battleship. Chen Yun, who was standing behind him, subconsciously glanced at Tian's somewhat dry lips, his eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak.
"Report, the various departments have completed the formation conversion, and the commander of the logistics fleet has reported that it has been prepared according to your instructions!" After a while, the staff officer with an excited face hurriedly walked back to the command platform and reported to Hao Yi in a loud voice: "In addition, all the insects that have broken into our army's formation have been eliminated, please instruct!" ”
"Good!" Hao Yi's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he stepped forward and waved his hand and ordered: "Order all battleships to immediately withdraw to escort the group of fighters, suspend the laser secondary artillery attack of each ship, and set all the space torpedoes carried to the fixed-range self-explosion mode." The fixed distance is set at 10 km, and the direction of torpedo attack is centered on the fleet cluster, and the star field of the perimeter is indiscriminately radiated! Wait for my command and fire a torpedo at the same time! ”
The strange order of "Ah......" made the staff officer, who was still in high spirits, fall into a state of confusion when he was stunned. However, just after a slight pause, Hao Yi handed over a stern gaze, which made the senior staff officer suddenly excited, hurriedly answered in a loud voice, and then turned around and went to convey the military order that made ** puzzled.
In the previous fierce and abnormal battle situation, although facing giant insects such as the Corruptor Hive Insect Lord, the ghost escort fighter clusters of the various battleships were obviously a little difficult. However, with the numerical superiority of locusts, the escort aircraft groups can still reduce the pressure on the carrier ship to a certain extent despite paying a lot of casualties. However, Haoyi's military order required all ships to immediately withdraw all escort groups, which was equivalent to removing a protective net from each warship, and exposing hundreds of warships of the task force to the ferocious firepower of the alien army, which was undoubtedly an extremely crazy military order.
And what shocked the staff officers the most was that Haoyi actually asked the warships to set all the torpedoes to a 10-kilometer fixed-distance self-explosion mode! Anyone with a modicum of military common sense knows that for a giant like a space battleship, ten kilometers is undoubtedly a rather dangerous distance. If you are not careful, a torpedo that detonates itself will accidentally damage the mothership.
"Yes, Commander!" Hearing the staff officer's astonishment, Hao Yi didn't explain too much, but just turned his head slightly and handed over a sharp gaze, which made the staff officer's heart tremble slightly, and hurriedly answered in a loud voice.
"The escort groups of each ship have withdrawn!"
"All the torpedoes carried by each ship are set up and ready to be fired! Please instruct! ”
The tense atmosphere permeated the entire command center, and the hearts of almost every staff officer subconsciously rose to their throats. After hearing the staff officer's loud report one after another, Haoyi, who had a straight face, slowly raised his face, and glanced through the transparent holographic porthole of the bridge at the swarm of insects in the distance like an endless black-red nebula in space, his eyes flashed cold, and his big hand was immediately raised high: "Ten seconds launch countdown, 10, 9 ......"
The cold but murderous voice of the command passed through the public communication channels of the whole fleet, and at the same time penetrated the ears of thousands of officers and men of the task force. Word by word, when Hao Yi counted to 0, his big hand waved down heavily, and almost at the same moment, the outermost circle of battleships in the task force's formation threw all the torpedoes that had entered the firing state as if they didn't want money.
"Boom, boom!" The next moment, a loud bang shook the hearts of all the officers and men of the task force, and countless torpedoes exploded at the same time, forming a spectacular smoke screen like a colorful nebula, forcibly isolating the fleet from the endless black-red insect sea nebula around it.
In the midst of the fire, thousands of insects that were about to pounce on the battleships were reduced to ashes, and a howl of rage that was enough to tear souls resounded throughout the starfield.
"All ships are fully powered and rushing forward at full speed! The second round of torpedoes is ready for launch, with a 30-second countdown! Before the staff officers came back to their senses, Haoyi's next military order rang out loudly.
The first wave of torpedoes self-detonated in a salvo cleared a "safe zone" around the fleet. Of course, the so-called safety is only relative, because in addition to the stumps and severed arms of countless insects floating in this area, there are also a lot of fish that have slipped through the net. However, most of these surviving insects were seriously injured and dying, and few could pose a threat to the battleships with thick skin.
"Full power! Full speed impact! Countdown to torpedo launch! As Haoyi's military orders were handed down one after another, the entire task force suddenly moved quickly like an efficient war machine. The diamond-shaped steel matrix composed of hundreds of warships of various types, like sharp knives, slammed into the sea of blood-red insects along the gaps torn open by the torpedo cluster.
"Boom, boom!" Thirty seconds later, another earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the entire star field, and a brilliant colorful nebula that also symbolized death bloomed around the fleet, taking tens of thousands of insects with it.
The next moment, another similar order came out of Hao Yi's mouth again. Earth-shattering explosions, the angry roars of insects, and the roar of battleship engines mingle together to create a movement of blood and fire.
In this way, with this incredible but quite effective tactic, the task force rushed into the depths of the black-red nebula little by little. However, there were so many insects that the diamond-shaped steel matrix clad in the flames of war always looked like an impenetrable, airtight black-red nebula.
"Uncle, the space torpedoes carried by the ships are running out! Please instruct! ”
I don't know how many rounds of assault it took, and an uncoordinated report finally made Haoyi's big hand raised high again stop in mid-air.
"The herald, the vanguard detachment will be changed to the guard detachment, and the original rear detachment will be changed to the vanguard detachment! Order the vanguard detachment of the outer echelon battleship nuclear energy main gun to prepare for launch! Targets, those logistics supply ships that are stuck in the depths of the swarm and abandoned by our army! ”
However, Haoyi did not hesitate because of the staff officer's report, his eyes flashed, and then he issued a military order that made the eyelids of all the officers jump again.
"Whoosh!" A moment later, huge and bright fireballs roared through the dense army of insects, and rushed straight towards the logistics supply ships that were already riddled with holes.
"Boom!" In the next moment, a dazzling light lit up the entire star field, and even the officers in the bridge command center subconsciously raised their arms to cover their eyes.
"I'm X! Black hole! "When the fireball, which was like a planetary explosion, slowly dimmed, a small black hole that made the officers creep out into the star field......
