In the conference hall, the atmosphere was slightly depressing.

The officers of the fleet looked at Colonel Qi Yanyan, the commander-in-chief of the fleet at the conference table, with solemn faces, the urgent military order of the Imperial Military Department naturally cannot be discounted, as for how to implement it, I am afraid that it will be Qi Yanyan's meaning in the end.

Facing everyone's gaze, although Qi Yanyan was a little gloomy in her heart, she still barely maintained her composure on the surface, she knew what everyone was worried about, the ghost fleet no longer seemed to be a soft persimmon that the minesweeping fleet could handle at will, and the combined fleet of more than 100 ghost warships fully possessed the strength to fight head-on with the minesweeping fleet.

Qi Yanyan took a light breath and said in a slightly heavy tone: "This sneak attack of the ghost fleet is indeed a bit surprising, and it actually formed a fleet of more than 100 warships for a sneak attack, but you should also believe in the strength of the minesweeping fleet, don't forget that the ghost fleet is composed of small and medium-sized warships, and we still have a lot of advantages in terms of combat power." In addition, although the ghost fleet achieved great success in this sneak attack, it also lost a lot of warships in the battle with the escort warships, and I think the number of their combat warships should not be as high as ours, and the military department also urgently dispatched two other fleets composed of more than 100 warships to rush to the target area......

Qi Yanyan roughly described the current basic situation, and also briefly analyzed, although the attack of the ghost fleet caught everyone a little off guard, but after all, the area where they are located is the hinterland of the eastern region of the empire, and the initiative is still firmly in the hands of the empire, and they are still the party that occupies an absolute advantage.

After a brief period of consternation. The top management of the fleet also quickly had a clear understanding, although the order of the Imperial Military Department was somewhat urgent, but compared to the minesweeping fleet, the problem was not big, just need to discuss it carefully, grasp the advantage, and establish a specific and correct combat plan should still be able to save the situation as much as possible in the region, after all, whether the sneak attack occurred in the area swept by the minesweeping fleet, or shoulder some responsibility, and now only by destroying as many ghost warships of the Galactic Alliance as possible can barely make up for it.

Subsequently, the meeting began a detailed discussion on the specific action plan for the next step. The heads of various parties also frequently expressed their opinions.

Two hours later. The temporary emergency meeting was declared over, and they finally decided on the next emergency action plan for the minesweeping fleet -- to immediately go to the target area of the military department's urgent order and launch a sweep and attack on the ghost fleet.

The senior officers of the fleet hurriedly left the conference room and returned to their respective warships to begin the specific deployment according to the relevant content of the council. The minesweeping fleet at this time was not far from the target space area. It was just over two days away. There must be urgent mobilization and rapid deployment.

Qi Yanyan was the last to walk out of the conference room, his face still slightly gloomy. He was joined by Staff Officer Rosen and Adjutant Rune.

Rosen and Rune followed Qi Yanyan to the left and right with solemn faces.

"Officer Luo, how is the logistics of the fleet at the moment?"

Qi Yanyan asked as she walked, she was still confident in the combat effectiveness of the fleet, but she was still slightly worried about logistics, the main thing he considered stopping the sweep before was that the supply consumption of the fleet was almost, and it was almost two months since the last time Mu Enxing's supply fleet continued to sweep in space for more than two months, and there was no replenishment on the way, whether it was combat materials or daily life materials, most of them should have been consumed, Now the entire fleet has to go to the area to fight non-stop according to the urgent orders of the military headquarters, and she is really a little worried that there may be a shortage of supply behind the logistics, and these logistics and other things are usually handled by Chief of Staff Officer Lawson.

Rosen immediately replied in a straight voice: "Report to the commander, the current logistics materials of the fleet can still be supported for a little while, about fifteen to twenty days. ”

Qi Yanyan didn't show any surprises, everything was still in her expectations, and it should be enough to support the minesweeping fleet to fight in the current area for a while, "Well, I hope this battle can't last too long." Rune, see as soon as you can go through the whole meeting and see if there are any flaws. ”

Adjutant Rune immediately replied, "Yes, sir. ”

Soon, the backs of the three of them disappeared into the corridor in a hurry.

Two hours later, the minesweeping fleet deviated from the originally designed orbital course and turned to the target area of the military department's emergency military order.

Along the way, the minesweeper fleet did not deliberately scout the ghost warships of the Galactic Alliance in the area near the route, but sailed at full speed to the target area.

Except for a few high-ranking officers of the fleet, the other fleet personnel did not know about the sudden change in the direction of the fleet, but were busy with their respective responsibilities in an orderly manner, and the same was true for the mechanic team.

Fang Shi also didn't know that the minesweeping fleet suddenly changed its course, although he was a lieutenant colonel, and he was also a senior rank in the fleet, but his lieutenant colonel rank was really special, and the mechanic team he was responsible for was only a very small department for the entire battleship, and he was not qualified to touch the real high-level decision-making level of the battleship, and some relevant information naturally he couldn't know.

During the two days that the fleet was sailing at full speed, Fang Shi clearly felt something strange - the mechanic team seemed to have become much more idle all of a sudden. The fleet has not had a battle for several days in a row, so the mechanic team basically only has some simple mecha detection tasks, which is relatively easy. And he can occasionally spare some time to go to the machine combat simulation room to do one or two, he has been busy for more than a month, and he has no time for machine combat simulation training, so this level is still the same, and it is still a distance from the level of an eight-star pilot.

However, the easy days of the mechanic crew soon came to an end, and the fleet suddenly declared a state of emergency operations. Fang Shi still has some understanding of the state of emergency operations, and the fleet will only declare an emergency operation state when facing a large-scale or major battle, and a small-scale operation in the previous sweeping process has never been declared an emergency combat state.

As soon as he received the notice, Fang Shi's heart tightened slightly, and he immediately notified the leaders of each team and instructed them to prepare to respond actively, while he summoned all the members of the thirteenth team to give a brief explanation, and then the team members started preparations according to their respective tasks.

The minesweeper arrived at the target area on the third day after changing course, and immediately declared a state of emergency operation, and soon after the fleet's reconnaissance ships discovered the traces of the ghost fleet, not a large force of the ghost fleet, but a small detachment, a small fleet of eighteen warships.

Qi Yanyan, the commander-in-chief of the fleet who got the information of the ghost fleet, immediately issued an attack order, eighteen warships can definitely be regarded as a big fat piece for the minesweeping fleet, and the fleet can be crushed according to this number and firepower advantage, but it is a good opportunity to destroy the living force of the ghost fleet.

As a result, the entire minesweeping fleet quickly pressed towards the fleet of eighteen ghost warships in an encirclement manner.

Soon, the minesweeper fleet spotted the ghost fleet sailing in space as if nothing had happened.

Qi Yanyan did not hesitate to give the order for the whole ship to attack.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

After a ferocious round of artillery fire from the minesweeping fleet, the four ghost warships closest to the fleet were instantly shot into a hornet's nest, turning into countless space debris in a series of violent explosions.

The ghost fleet, which had been subjected to a powerful attack, seemed to be a little sluggish, and the remaining fourteen ghost fleets immediately split into two teams and fled quickly in two different directions.

Facing the ghost fleet that quickly withdrew from two directions, Qi Yanyan, the commander-in-chief of the fleet in the first flagship general command cabin of the minesweeping fleet, frowned slightly, if she had encountered such a past in the past, she would not hesitate to choose to pursue separately, but now there was a slight hesitation in her heart. If the fleet pursues separately, it means that the minesweeper fleet will be divided into two, and the strength will be scattered, and she faintly feels that this attack seems to be too smooth, most of the time in the past, when encountering the ghost fleet, it will already start to flee without waiting for the sweeper fleet to attack, and this time the ghost fleet's reaction is slightly sluggish, is it true that the ghost fleet only waited until it was attacked to find the minesweeper fleet?

"Sir, Lieutenant Colonel Tang Yuanqing, commander of the No. 3 battleship, requests separate pursuits."

When Qi Yanyan hesitated slightly, the person in charge of communication and liaison immediately conveyed a request from the No. 3 battleship.

"Am I being too cautious?"

After a short silence, Qi Yanyan took a light breath, a hint of firmness flashed in his eyes, and he spoke: "Pass my order, the third battle formation will pursue the ghost battleship in the northeast direction with all its might, and after an hour, no matter what the result is, it must converge with the home team." The home fleet pursues the ghost warships in the southeast. ”

"Yes, sir."

The person in charge of conveying the order immediately responded, and quickly passed on the order of the commander-in-chief, Qi Yanyan.

The minesweeping fleet is composed of three battle formations, each headed by three large warships, and each battle formation is composed of more than 30 warships, of which the third battle formation is headed by Tang Yuanqing's No. 3 battleship, and the supreme commander is also Tang Yuanqing.

Soon, Qi Yanyan's order was conveyed, and the fast-sailing minesweeping fleet quickly flew out of two teams, one of which was the third battle formation led by Tang Yuanqing's No. 3 battleship. More than 30 warships of the 3rd Battle Formation diverted out of the fleet and quickly pursued the six ghost warships fleeing to the northeast, while the main fleet of the 1st and 2nd Battle Formations pursued the eight ghost warships in the southeast.
