044. Frequent battles

The minesweeping fleet continued to sail for three days according to the sailing route set by the military department, but it still did not encounter the ghost fleet of the Galactic Alliance, and there was no shadow of the ghost fleet for ten days.

Colonel Qi Yanyan, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, did not hesitate to hold an emergency meeting of the senior officers of the fleet again, and the main content of the meeting was mainly to replan the sailing route of the fleet, and as for whether the fleet had a spy of the Galactic Alliance, Qi Yanyan did not mention it at all.

In the face of the commander-in-chief Qi Yanyan's sudden proposal to revise the navigation route formulated by the military department, a small number of them raised doubts and objections, but most of them still chose to agree, and the shadow of the ghost fleet that had not been seen for ten days also made them realize some problems.

After the final vote, the fleet passed the proposal of Qi Yanyan, the commander-in-chief of the fleet. Qi Yanyan, on the other hand, quickly took out one of the two fleet navigation routes made by Lieutenant Commander Rune, and quickly established a new navigation route for the minesweeping fleet.

On the same day, the minesweeping fleet changed the sailing route of the fleet drawn up by the original military headquarters and implemented a new sailing route, but the actual sailing route of the fleet did not seem to be clear to many people.

After changing the sailing route of the fleet, the first two days of the minesweeping fleet were as calm as ever, and the ghost fleet of the Galactic Alliance was not found.

Qi Yanyan and Rosen and other high-ranking officers of the fleet were slightly apprehensive in their hearts, if they could no longer see the shadow of the Silver Alliance's ghost battleship, they could only guess in a worse direction.

However, the third day of the voyage was changed. The minesweeper fleet finally found the trace of the ghost fleet again, although the other party was only a ghost fleet composed of three warships, but it made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

In just over ten minutes, the minesweeping fleet was able to wipe out all three ghost warships with little success, with almost no losses of its own, only one of the warships suffered some light damage, and only a few fighters and mechs were damaged.

When they met the ghost fleet of the Galactic Alliance again, Qi Yanyan, Rosen and the others were slightly firm, but they did not completely relax, after all, they only encountered a miniature fleet composed of three ghost warships. Only seeing more of the Galactic Alliance's ghost fleet in the next sweep can prove that changing the fleet's sailing course is the right choice.

After a short battle. The 13th team still seems to be very idle, this time the No. 2 and No. 22 battleships have not had time to send out mechs to fight, and the battle has already been declared over, so naturally there is no matter how much the 13th team is.

Postwar. Fangshi also received repair reports from five of the teams. A total of seven mechs were damaged in this battle. Spread across five of the teams, five of the mechs were only lightly wounded, and the other two were slightly heavier. However, the repairs were completed on the same day.

Fang Shi had almost no feelings about the second encounter, he was in the machine combat simulation room for control training when the battle occurred, if it wasn't for Nana to remind him in time, he really didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, and the thirteenth team didn't have a maintenance task afterwards, he also knew about the situation of each machine repair team, and it didn't seem that he wanted to worry about anything.

A battle, soon fell silent.

Two days later, the minesweeper fleet once again discovered the traces of the Galactic Alliance's ghost fighters, and this time the ghost fleet was larger than before, it seemed to be a combination of two fleets, a fleet composed of nine ghost warships, in fact, four were medium-sized warships, and the remaining five were small warships.

The two sides spotted each other before they could get close

The Galactic Alliance's ghost fleet reacted by fleeing, and the nine warships immediately split into two teams, one consisting of two medium warships and three small warships, and the other consisting of the remaining four warships, which fled in different directions.

The minesweeping fleet immediately chose to pursue, and more than 100 warships were immediately divided into two teams under the order of the commander-in-chief, Colonel Qi Yanyan, and pursued the two fleeing ghost fleets respectively.

A chase lasted nearly an hour before it ended, and in the end, the minesweeper fleet eliminated eight ghost warships, and the last ghost warship was narrowly escaped.

After nearly an hour of fighting, the losses of the minesweeper fleet were slightly worse than the previous two battles, and one of the small warships was unfortunately hit by the enemy warship's naval guns, and finally turned into debris in space. More than 30 fighters were destroyed, more than a dozen mechs, and more than 40 and 20 mechs suffered varying degrees of damage.

Immediately after the battle, the various teams of the mechanic group got busy.

The ship-based mechs of the No. 2 large battleship and the No. 22 medium battleship under the responsibility of the 13th team had three damaged mechs that needed urgent repair, and many of the other mechs needed to be tested after the battle.

Fang Shi divided the thirteenth team into four teams, three of which were responsible for repairing the three damaged mechas, and the last team was responsible for testing the mechs after the battle, in order to complete the maintenance and testing of the mecha as quickly as possible.

In addition to the work of the thirteenth team, Fang Shi also had to take care of the affairs of the entire machine repair group, the more than twenty mechs that were damaged were not evenly distributed in each team, some teams did not have any damaged mechs at all, and some had as many as four or five damaged mechs.

Faced with such a situation, Fang Shi immediately ordered the mechanic team that was not a maintenance task to send an appropriate number of team members to support the team with relatively heavy maintenance tasks, and he had made it clear that the mechanic team responsible for support must also be responsible for the mechs it had repaired, and if it was sloppy, it would affect their future evaluation.

In the face of the order of the chief mechanic, many of the mechanics who supported the mechanics were obviously a little dissatisfied, but thinking of the powerful power of the chief mechanic, they were only resentful at most in their hearts, and the arrangements of the chief mechanic were also exquisite, basically the mutual support of the same faction, and the mechanics of the same faction basically knew each other and recognized each other, and this mutual support was not too contrary to their wishes.

The maintenance of more than 20 damaged mechs was not a difficult task for the entire machine repair team, and the next day, the thirteen teams of the machine repair team completed the maintenance of all the mechs and submitted the machine repair report to Fang Shi, and the maintenance and inspection tasks of the machine repair team were basically completed.

However, the mechanic team was only idle for half a day, because the minesweeper fleet had once again discovered the new ghost fleet of the Galactic Alliance, a miniature fleet of six ghost warships.

A fierce battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and in the end, all six ghost warships were destroyed, and the minesweeper fleet also suffered some damage, with more than 20 mechs damaged.

The mechanic team started the busy maintenance and inspection work again.

For the next period of time, the mechanic team continued to repeat the cycle of similar busy mecha maintenance and overhaul work.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed in a flash, and it has been more than 40 days since the minesweeping fleet left Muenxing. The first twenty days of the fleet were spent almost idle, but the next twenty days or so were spent in frequent battles, almost every day or two, and occasionally two or three times in a day.

With the frequent battles, the various teams of the mechanic team are also completely busy. The 13th Mechanic Team is no exception, but it is quite well organized under the leadership of Fang Shi, and after each battle, they will carry out the maintenance and inspection of mecha and other related work as soon as possible, and basically ensure that they can catch up with the rhythm of frequent battles. During this period of time, Fang Shi and the members of the thirteenth group almost did not distinguish between day and night, and the basic routine of work and rest was completely disrupted, and the first few days were naturally a little uncomfortable, but after a few days, they began to adapt to it.

After the thirteenth group left in Liuyang, Fang Shi carried out a more effective integration, and the group was quite united, coupled with the full help of Chen Shuya, the deputy team leader, he didn't have to worry too much. His main focus was on the coordination of the entire mechanic team, and he wanted to alleviate the conflict between the two factions through the mutual support of the group, but the effect was not very obvious.

Due to the frequent fighting, the maintenance work of each group is relatively busy, and the leaders of each group will shirk it on the grounds that the group itself has heavy mechanical repair tasks and cannot be supported, especially the mechanical repair teams represented by several academic schools, while the mechanical repair teams from Jiang Wanli and other troops are relatively better, and they can still obey Fang Shi's orders. Fang Shi didn't have a good way to deal with this, although he could make a compulsory order, but such a coercion was likely to make his relationship with the group leaders stiff, and it would not be conducive to continuing to carry out work in the future, so Fang Shi could only barely carry out preliminary coordination, and in-depth coordination and cooperation was still a relatively difficult thing.

At present, the only one who can unconditionally listen to Fangshi's arrangement is only the thirteenth group, so many times some emergency support is often completed by the thirteenth group, which he also did some ideological work for the members of the thirteenth group, although it may be more tiring than other groups, but every maintenance is a valuable practical experience, can learn more experience in mechanical repair, and it is definitely helpful and positive to improve the strength of mechanical repair, so don't care about the temporary gains and losses.

With Fang Shi's dedication and hard work, the mechanic team barely survived the frequent battles for more than 20 days, and did not drag the entire fleet back in mechanics, which was also what made him feel slightly gratified. (To be continued......)
