The situation of the fighters was slightly better, because before the war there was an emphasis on speed and a mandatory rule not to fly head-to-head with enemy ships as much as possible, and more than 4,000 fighters of various types survived, the vast majority of which were F-440s with sharp defensive power and mobility.

Nie Jianrong was not distressed by the loss of the fighter, but the number of pilots who could be sacrificed was even more uncomfortable than cutting flesh on the tip of his heart.

Cultivating a qualified pilot, how simple is it to imagine?

The losses of the commandos were also not small, with more than ninety percent of the casualties of the troops invested, more than half of whom died in the lonely bone mounds, and only double digits of the bodies that could be brought back.

Of the 24 regiment-level units, 14 were completely disabled, and 7 regiments had less than three digits of personnel remaining.

More than half of the 72 brigade battalion-level combat units are about to be abolished.

Of the 216 squadron-level combat units, 142 will be abolished and personnel will be added to other units.

Excluding the sacrificial and disabled soldiers, when the wounded are recovered and returned, there will be less than 300 of the 684 detachments of the eight divisions at full strength.

The assault team had never suffered such a tragic blow, and it was truly traumatic.

At present, the warships are full of casualties, and all the medical resources are fully engaged in the efforts to treat the wounded, but the number of casualties is still rising.

The losses of the United States and Russia will only be heavier than those of the Chinese side.

After this battle, although a large amount of vitality of the Outer Bone Man was eliminated, almost all of the main fleets of the three major space nations were damaged, and the air and space power of the human race was unprecedentedly weakened.

According to the reports received before the war, all the major countries in the world have formulated plans to exterminate human beings, and if the outer skeletons invade the earth, they would rather wipe human beings from the universe than submit to the enemy.

The Battle of Mars was the loudest wake-up call for everyone, and to this day, with the level of human medicine, most of the survivors rescued from the Battle of Mars are still helpless.

The upper echelons of humanity have a clear understanding of this - whether humans or other creatures, the only fate of falling into the hands of the Outer Bone People is to become their nourishment.

Rather than die a tragic death after being tortured, it is better to die tragically in silence.

Humanity may not be able to defeat the Skeleton Man, but for more than two centuries, humanity has been living in the shadow of a nuclear that may perish at any time, and it is by no means difficult to perish itself.

I have to say that humans are really super contradictory creatures.

Although the remnants of the combined fleet were separated from the alien fleet, they were full of scarred warships, and the speed of the fleet was slowed down by a large margin.

The joint command headed by Nie Jianrong, under extremely secret circumstances, reluctantly made a plan to break the wrist of a strong man: once the enemy pursues it, the fleet will abandon the slow wounded old ships and cover the escape of the large force, leaving some blood for the human celestial army.

For this reason, all the battleships classified as abandoned ships began to transfer their surplus personnel to other warships, leaving only some volunteers to ensure the basic control of the battleships.

By this time, the distinction between countries was no longer taken into account, and all the transferred personnel were transferred as close as possible under the unified command.

Battleships, such combat units, are war platforms piled up with a lot of money, and the price of every inch is comparable to gold, and there is not much spare space to accommodate personnel. However, due to the large number of sacrifices of the commandos, a lot of cryogenic cabins were vacated, and basically the transferred personnel were immediately arranged to enter the freezing procedure as soon as they got on the ship.

Moreover, it is not known whether cryonics has any adverse effects on the injuries of the wounded, and the wounded commandos cannot enter the cryonics, and a batch of cryogenic cabins has been saved, so all the outsiders have been reluctantly settled.

The human fleet had prepared for the worst, but the expected storm did not come, and all the forces of the Outer Skeletons shrank near the bone mound, posing as a turtle frame, and refused to move again.

It wasn't until twenty-four hours later that the fleet completely distanced itself from the Outer Skeleton Man, and the fleet that survived the catastrophe, from the commander-in-chief Nie Jianrong to the ordinary soldiers, all quietly breathed a sigh of relief and put the heart that had been in their throats back into their stomachs.

The Combined Fleet, which took half a year to rush from the base of Saturn to the sniper site, officially began its return journey.

After coming and going, it took more than a year, the park had already left Saturn in place, and when the fleet reached Saturn's orbit again, what awaited the fleet would be an empty void, so the combined fleet would return directly to Earth.

Unfortunately, most of the seriously damaged ships in the fleet were damaged beyond the limits of wartime support maintenance and had to be returned to the factory for overhaul, and it would take almost three years to return to base Saturn at the current rate. In the end, the damaged and wrecked ships that could not be repaired were painfully abandoned by the fleet.

But only in this way can the remaining warships have any hope of returning within half a year.

As a result, the combined fleet's fleet was once again reduced to less than one hundred and sixty ships, each with three times as many men on board.

Although as many personnel as possible will be placed for cryonics, the number of personnel remaining is too large to far exceed the ship's design capacity.

The overstaffing caused the ship to carry insufficient provisions, even if all the supplies on the abandoned battleship were transferred, it would be a drop in the bucket, and the Joint Command immediately ordered the fleet to implement the strictest rationing system to ensure that the remaining supplies could support the return of all survivors.

The lack of food is only trivial, and what is even more troublesome is that after a few days, it is suddenly found that the oxygen consumption rate is far faster than expected, and in the long run, it will not be long before the crew will be comatose due to lack of oxygen due to too much carbon dioxide in the air, followed by irreversible brain tissue damage, and eventually death.

The will may be able to defeat hunger, but no matter how strong the will is, it will never be able to defeat suffocation!

Even if the earth immediately sends a fleet to carry enough supplies to respond, it will take more than three months for the two sides to converge, and in the current situation, it is too much to say that the fleet can hold out for more than half of it, and if it really waits for three months, it is better to support the fleet and call it the corpse collection team instead.

The only way to solve this problem is to reduce oxygen consumption, the problem is that living people are not self-conscious warships, how can they give up and give up?

And after rigorous calculations, even if the consumption is reduced to a minimum, a third of the survivors will need to be discarded - this is a number, after subtracting the frozen personnel.

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, who is abandoned and who is left?

That's hundreds of thousands of living people!

The situation no longer allows the command to deliberate, and it is necessary to solve the problem before serious consequences are caused, otherwise the last fleet of mankind will not be destroyed in the hands of the Outer Skeletons, but will also perish in the hands of its own people.

The three stinkers stood up to Zhuge Liang, and the helpless generals finally decided to inform the whole army and solicit solutions to the problem from everyone.

All the people who understand the situation are all thinking hard about this, even Ye Fei, who has always been invincible, is not exempt from vulgarity, but there are exceptions to everything, and the grinning black bear grinned as soon as he knew about it, and he grinned and laughed: "Damn, how difficult it is for me to ...... matter."
