After a fierce battle, more than 30 of the more than 300 mecha of the 5th Company of the Zhanji Mecha Battalion were injured to varying degrees, and more than 10 of them suffered heavy damage, and the repair was relatively complicated.

After discussing with the two deputy team leaders, Fang Shi finally decided to put aside more than ten heavy-hit mechas, and give priority to overhauling those lightly-injured mechas, and he also arranged for nearly half of the members of the fifth mecha to be led by Mu Wenxin to test the mechas, so naturally in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the fifth company to the greatest extent.

As a result, the mechanics of the fifth mechanic group got busy.

The Aegis-class intermediate star field aircraft carrier has a total of three repair hangars of different sizes, of which the fifth machine repair group occupies two, one of the largest and one of the smallest, and the other medium machine repair hangar is for another machine repair group. The large machine shop can accommodate ten mechs for maintenance at the same time, while the small one can only accommodate three mechs for maintenance at the same time.

Fang Shi was busy between the two machine repair garages, on the one hand, to check the maintenance progress of each team, and on the other hand, he came forward from time to time to guide, of course, he also participated in the machine repair tasks of each team, sometimes only verbally suggesting some treatment plans, sometimes even personally involved, of course, after solving the problem, he would quit to help other squads in need.

After more than eight hours of continuous busyness, with the cooperation of all the mechanics of the fifth mechanic group, more than 20 lightly damaged mechas were finally repaired, and the mecha inspection work in the battle was basically completed under the leadership of Mu Wenxin, the deputy team leader, and there were only more than ten mechas that suffered heavy damage.

Fang Shi first separately inspected more than a dozen mechs that had been severely damaged. The problems of these mechs are not one or two problems alone, they are basically a series of problems that need to be solved, two of them are almost close to the point of scrapping, and the core components have been severely damaged, and it is unlikely that they can be repaired on the battleship, and they need to go to the ground to carry out further repairs, and he is very glad that the two pilots can be lucky to return to the battleship.

After inspecting more than a dozen heavily damaged mechas, Fang Shi did not immediately assign the task of repairing the machine, but asked everyone to rest in their respective places first, after all, the mechanics had been working for more than eight hours in a row at this time. Both physical and mental strength are greatly consumed. If it continues, I am afraid that the work efficiency will not be better, and the previous battle took place in the early hours of the morning, and their biological clock should be in the rest phase, and they work continuously for more than eight hours. Many people's eyes have extra red threads. Apparently the body has begun to experience an overload state. Therefore, it is necessary to let everyone rest collectively for a while.

Seven hours later, the mechanics of the Fifth Mechanic Group gathered again and began to overhaul the remaining heavily damaged mechs as much as they could. The damaged parts of the heavy damage mecha are basically set up to involve some key parts. Maintenance was quite troublesome, and coupled with the limited repair conditions on the battleship, several of the most severely injured aircraft were repaired by Stone Ashi, waiting to return to the ground for full repair.

The repair work was carried out smoothly, and the fifth mechanic team worked for more than ten hours in a row to repair five of the heavy-hit mechas, and three of them were still under maintenance.

During the busy time of the fifth group, Fang Shi also estimated the results of the previous battle with the alliance fleet, and the two sides did not distinguish the winner or loser, but in the battle that lasted for an hour, it still caused a lot of losses, and the cruise fleet lost thirty-three warships, including two large warships, the rest were small and medium-sized warships, and dozens of warships were damaged to varying degrees. Although such a loss is not a fatal damage to the entire patrol fleet, it is also a considerable loss, and if it goes through a few more similar battles, the cruise fleet will probably be destroyed.

Fang Shi asked Tian Niu and Mu Wenxin about the situation of the previous cruising missions, this kind of fleet encounter of the same level will be encountered once or twice almost every time the cruising mission is carried out, there is no special situation, and each battle is similar to this encounter, and the point between each other is stopped.

"There are similar battles on every cruise, and the front-line battles are really tense, and it is said that this Area G is still a relatively calm area, and some areas may have relatively large-scale combat clashes almost every day, and the losses are not just dozens of warships, but most likely hundreds of warships."

Fang Shi's face was slightly solemn and he thought, the greater the loss of this battleship, the greater the number of casualties, when he was in the central star sector before, he learned from the data released by the imperial government that during the period of the all-out attack of the alliance army, hundreds of thousands or even millions of imperial soldiers were killed in a fierce battle, but it was much more tragic than the situation of the stalemate in the first confrontation, and the war was almost piled up with countless deaths.

During the period when the fifth machine repair group was repairing the mecha, Fang Shi was slightly glad that there was no battle in the fleet, which could be regarded as giving them enough time to repair the mech.

In the following days, there were only two skirmishes in the cruiser fleet, both of which were miniature fleets of the alliance to conduct reconnaissance and reconnaissance, and the fleet could easily crush the other party in a few rounds of attacks, and those alliance reconnaissance fleets were also very alert, and they had already scattered and fled before the imperial fleet could attack.

On the eighth day of the cruise, the fleet began to return to patrol, and the route back was similar to the route when it came, but on the second day of the return voyage, the fleet again had an extremely fierce battle, and it was a coalition patrol fleet composed of more than 100 warships, which was a small scale.

The alliance fleet was quite excited to see more than 300 warships forming the imperial fleet, and immediately turned around and ran, and Fang Shi's cruising fleet naturally did not give up this good opportunity to fight more and less when it saw such a good opportunity, and hurriedly sailed at full speed to chase the alliance fleet, during which a large number of fighters and mechs were sent to strike.

The chase lasted for more than three hours, and in the end, the cruising fleet destroyed more than 40 warships at the cost of more than 10 warships, and also severely damaged a large number of alliance warships. However, when it came to a certain space area, the cruise fleet suddenly stopped pursuing, because this piece of Taiwan air area is close to the area controlled by the alliance fleet, if it is boldly pursued, it is very likely that the alliance fleet will suffer a strong counterattack, in case it encounters the main fleet of the alliance again, then the unlucky one must be the cruise fleet, and the alliance fleet that escaped should have already launched a rescue message for the alliance fleet in the nearby area, and it is not suitable for the cruise fleet to pursue for a long time.

Soon, the cruising fleet continued its return journey.

The fifth machine repair group has once again entered a busy state, and this time the pursuit combat mecha once again used a large number of mechas, and the loss of mecha alone is a few points more serious than last time. There are more than ten more mecha in the fifth company, and there are many more damaged mechas.

Fang Shi convened an emergency meeting of the mechanics of the fifth mechanic group, mainly assigned to their respective mechanic tasks, this time the specific assignment was significantly more detailed than the previous time, and the mechanic tasks were more onerous than before.

After being busy for more than three days in a row, the fifth mechanic group barely managed most of the mechanic tasks, and fortunately there was only one small-scale battle during the period, and the fifth company had already ended before the battle, so it was good news for the mechanics of the fifth mechanic group.

As the fleet continued to sail, it was getting closer and closer to Kyoshira.

However, when the cruising fleet was still a day's voyage to the Kyoto-White Star base, the commander-in-chief of the fleet suddenly called an emergency meeting of the senior officers of the fleet.

In a certain high-level conference hall of the Moby Dick-class large star field aircraft carrier, more than a dozen high-ranking officers of the fleet sat at a huge circular conference table, among which the eleven bald men in their fifties sitting on the main seat were Vice Admiral Yuan Zhengrong, the commander-in-chief of the cruise fleet, and among the other officers, there were two officers with the rank of major admiral, and the rest were officers at the rank of colonel.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was slightly depressing, and everyone's faces were more or less solemn.

Yuan Zhengrong glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's start." Gathering everyone urgently is naturally an important matter, and as for what well-informed people may have already heard about, then I won't spare any bends. Area E is in an emergency, it is under a large-scale attack by the main fleet of the Alliance, and it is now in danger. According to the urgent order of the military headquarters, our G area will send a fleet to the E area for reinforcements, and our patrol fleet is also part of the reinforcement fleet, and the reinforcement fleet has also transferred 200 warships from the second fleet and the third fleet, plus 500 warships of our first fleet, together with a reinforcement fleet of more than 900 warships, and now the vanguard of the reinforcement fleet has set off, and we will return to the fleet first for emergency replenishment, as the rear force of the reinforcement fleet......

Hearing the words of Vice Admiral Yuan Zhengrong, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, there was not much surprise on the faces of everyone present, obviously they had heard the relevant information about the emergency in Area E before the meeting, and naturally there was some speculation about the content of this meeting, in fact, it was almost as they expected, the only surprise was that the emergency arrangement of the military department seemed to be very urgent, and the cruise fleet only had three hours to replenish the White Star base in Beijing, so they had almost no need to get off the battleship.

The meeting continued in a slightly oppressive atmosphere.

The main content of the discussion was the specific arrangements and related plans for the follow-up of the cruising fleet, and it was not until two hours later that the meeting was announced. (To be continued......)
