Chapter 19: The Retreating Iraqi Fleet

"Do you think Commander Lin's proposal is very likely?"

After receiving Lin Yiqing's analysis results, Drevis was also a little unable to sit still. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Federation who climbed up step by step, Drevis knew very well that the interior of the Federation military was now completely eroded. Even his own fleet, Drevis could not guarantee that not a single one of them would be bought by Isseras.

None of the staff officers sitting below spoke, apparently shocked by the results of this analysis.

If this analysis is correct, then the fleet will either immediately attack the enemy, drawing on the enemy's forces. Either retreat to the defense and send a fleet to support the Golden Tide.

But the key question is, they don't know how many enemies there are in Jinchaokou?

A staff officer hesitated for a moment and said, "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, could this be just a trap for the enemy?" ”

"Oh, what do you want to say?" Drevis asked.

The staff officer said, "I suspect that maybe Jin Chaokou was indeed attacked, but the intensity of the attack was not great. Therefore, the result of those few warships that were bought to stay to intercept the communication boats was to make us mistakenly think that Jinchaokou had encountered a large number of enemies, and then disperse our forces to give the enemy a chance to break through one by one. ”

"That makes sense...... Drevis pondered, but immediately shook his head and said, "No, if the attack intensity is not large, the 20th fleet will never go to Jinchaokou to support." Obviously, the situation there must be dangerous! Okay, now you need to think about defending or attacking the enemy! ”

"This ......" The staff officers hesitated and did not speak, looking at the entire 50,000 warships on the screen, all a little worried and frightened.

"What a bunch of rice buckets!" Drevis cursed and turned on the communicator.

Since Lin Yiqing has discovered this problem, why not discuss it with him.

Regarding Dreves's doubts, Lin Yiqing only gave him one word, that is, "Fight!" "Regardless of the situation in the battle at Jinchaokou, the 21st Fleet, which has Wumu-class warships, has already grown in confidence and is looking forward to a battle with the Isseras army. In the same way, Lin Yiqing also has great confidence in the 20 fleet, which has the same equipment. As long as Yang Tiexin's 20th fleet sails to the mouth of the golden tide, there will be no danger at the mouth of the golden tide!

After receiving Lin Yiqing's suggestion, Drevis no longer hesitated and issued an order to the fleet seriously.

"Prepare to attack!"

Compared with the confidence of the officers and men of the 21st fleet, the officers and men of the three fleets of the Federation were a little less confident, but the military order could not be refused, and the four fleets quickly moved, still advancing slowly towards the Isseras fleet in the shape of an umbrella.

A fair and honest head-to-head showdown!

The number of warships on their side was only 45,000, which was a full 5,000 fewer than the Iraqi fleet. But Drevis still adopted a head-to-head duel, and did not use any surprise soldiers, ambushes, raids, etc. Because he knew very well that these schemes would not be of much use to the Iserath army. The Federation fleet lacks training, the odd soldiers do not have the slightest taste of strange soldiers, and 80 percent of the ambushes will be discovered, and as for the surprise attack, if the speed of the fleet is fast, it can no longer be called a fleet, it is fast and slow, and it cannot form an effective combat force at all.

Only by attacking head-on can it be possible to win.

However, a strange scene reappeared.

As the Federation fleet advanced, reaching a distance of one or two times the range of its main guns, the Iserras suddenly moved and slowly retreated.

"Is the enemy afraid? Or are you luring the enemy? ”

Drevis raised his eyebrows slightly, at this time, it should be impossible to lure the enemy, although there are Michaelis particles all over here, but because of the effect of the Tabesena star, it is not suitable for hiding ambushes.

So......

"The enemy is afraid of us, they are trembling in front of our fleet! Attention all fleets, full speed ahead, give me a hard hit! ”

Dreves's voice resounded above every battleship, and seeing this scene, the morale of the Federation Army was suddenly greatly boosted, and the previous timidity and decadence were swept away, and the distance between the two fleets became shorter and shorter as the engines of the battleships ran at high speed.

"Main cannon fire!"

The same four words sounded at the same time above the 35,000 battleships of the three fleets in front.

In an instant, countless points of light suddenly lit up on the surface of the giant umbrella formed by the Federation fleet, and then, 35,000 hot and dazzling beams of light pierced the sky and shot towards the Iraqi fleet opposite. At the same time, the main guns of the opposite Iraqi fleet were activated at the same time, and they also fired a deadly and piercing beam.

Although they were fired at the same time, it was clear that the fire of the Federation Army had an absolute advantage.

The umbrella-shaped formation allows 35,000 warships to shoot at the same time. The Iraqi army on the opposite side adopted a spindle formation, and although it had an advantage in movement, it fired less than one-third of the warships at the same time, that is, more than 10,000 ships.

Even if the attack power of the Federation's Vulcan-class battleships was not as good as that of the Iraqi warships, the total number of them was more than double that of the other party, and the beams gathered together instantly bombarded the head of the spindle of the Iraqi fleet, and a large cloud of light quickly erupted in the starry sky.

"Report to the deputy commander-in-chief, our side has lost four hundred and twenty-three warships, and it is estimated that the enemy will lose one thousand and two hundred warships!"

The staff quickly calculated the battle losses of both armies and reported them to Dreves. This sound was like a burst of fairy music, which made Drevis feel comfortable, shouted three "good" words in a row, and immediately gave the order: "The fleet continues to advance, and when the distance between the enemy and the enemy reaches half the range of the main guns, the third fleet releases fighters and mechs." The badly damaged battleship was ordered to stop moving and be rescued by the 16th Fleet. ”

After giving this order, Drevis was extremely excited. Just one round of main artillery attacks caused such a record, which is probably the best result created in the salvo of the unit's main artillery since the battle with the Iraqi army. If you can continue and eat all these 50,000 warships, then you will definitely become a hero of the Federation......

Just as Drevis was trembling with excitement, a staff officer came to his side and said, "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, look at this. ”

"Well, what is it?" Dreves, who was in a good mood, took the information sent by the staff officer, scanned it slightly, and immediately showed an extremely shocked look on his face, and muttered: "Is this Chu Tang's strength?" ”

On that document, the battle losses of the various fleets were written in detail, among which the Third Fleet, which suffered the most serious losses from the frontal enemy, lost 307 warships. In addition, 400 warships were damaged and had to break out of formation. This was followed by the 11 fleet on the left flank, which lost one hundred and sixteen battleships and more than three hundred were damaged.

And what made Drevis unbelievable was that Chu Tang's 21st fleet was unexpected, not a single battleship was lost, and not a single battleship was out of formation, which could almost be said to be completely undamaged.

For a while, Dreves's heart set off a turbulent wave, he knew very well that at least one-fifth of the enemy's attack just now fell on the right flank, but miraculously did not destroy a single battleship, which shows that Chu Tang has surpassed the Federation too much in the manufacture of warships.

Casually, Drevis thought of another question, remembering that when Chu Tang's two fleets had just arrived, he found that Chu Tang was not using the well-known Weilong military warship in Nanyu this time, but a kind of warship that he had never seen before. When he asked Lin Yiqing about this issue, he was told that this was a new type of warship, which had not yet been installed, and was only an experimental warship. At that time, Drevis was still very envious, thinking that just by testing one kind of warship, he could build 30,000 of them.

But now that I think about it, I'm afraid this is already a new type of warship produced by Chu Tang. And this time the idea of sending two fleets to support should be to test the practical application of this kind of warship on the battlefield.

When his gaze fell on the fleet again, Dreves's mood was not as good as before, and he was full of sour feelings.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that the range of Wumu-class battleships has reached more than 1.5 times that of ordinary warships. In fact, when the two armies were facing each other, the main guns of the 21st fleet were already able to hit the enemy, if it weren't for Lin Yiqing's clumsiness and keeping in line with other warships, it was really hard to say what the current battle situation would look like.

With the advance of the Chu Tang fleet again, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, although the enemy has retreated at full speed, but because it is facing the Federation fleet, the main engine does not play any role at all, and they do not dare to risk the danger to turn, it can be said that they have fallen into a stalemate, if they continue like this, they will definitely be eaten by the Federation fleet bite by bite.

After the second round of artillery fire, the commanders of both sides gave the order at the same time.

"Unleash the mechs and fighters!"

Mechs were ejected from the battleship, and fighter planes swept by at high speed, rushing towards the enemy. Judging from the radar, it looks like a dense group of wild bees, whistling and charging.

Two huge forces collided violently in the starry sky between the two armies.

The mecha flew in the air, locked onto the target, the missiles whistled out, the Gauss cannon spewed energy frantically, and the fighters swept past like lightning, only the high-speed light bullets formed a death line, cutting everything it encountered.

The barrage is connected in countless places in the starry sky here, making it a real place of death, especially in the center of the two armies, densely packed with all kinds of light bombs, particles, and missiles flying all over the sky, and its density is difficult to dodge even if it is an extremely clever mecha or fighter pilot. In this case, a person's strength is extremely small, and only their teammates can achieve the greatest results under the cover of each other!

Every second, a fighter plane or mech is hit, emitting a huge ball of light.

In this case, the driver does not even have a chance to eject, and even if he is lucky enough to be ejected, he will be torn apart by the barrage in the shortest possible time.

Only those lucky ones who are attached to Lady Luck will escape this high-density attack and be rescued by their comrades.

This is something that the crews who hide on the battleship and can only shoot with the main guns do not feel it.

This is a game that belongs only to the brave. The cowardly, there is no chance of survival here!

Looking at the light clusters that continue to explode in the distance, each light cluster represents a mecha or a fighter plane being destroyed. The high-energy block it carries is detonated in the heat and turns into a ball of fireworks in the starry sky. The mecha warriors who watched all this were all enthusiastic, and they asked to fight in the internal channel. The voices of the soldiers were conveyed to the channel where the captain was, and even the captain couldn't help it, and immediately sent a request to Lin Yiqing to fight.

"They want to go out and have fun, then let's go, let these small southwestern countries see the strength of our Chutang Heavenly Dynasty warriors." Lin Yiqing smiled and sent a message to Drevis.

"The 21st fleet asked to go to war?" Drevis swept a line of words on the communicator and smiled bitterly: "When other fleets encounter this kind of thing, they can't wait to hide far away, for fear of losing their strength." They even asked to play, and they seemed to be full of confidence. He then sent a message to the 21st Fleet, agreeing to their mechs and fighters.

After the order was given, Drevis muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Fortunately, the enemy of the Federation is Iseras. If it is Chu Tang, I think it is better not to fight, and the whole country will surrender directly. Who still has the courage to fight in the face of such an enemy? ”
