972 Lure the enemy deeper

In less than two months, the total number of sunken and battle-damaged warships of the Republic was enough to fill a fleet, with an average loss of one in less than two days, and this is only counting the Ares class, not counting the losses of shock motherships.

The losses of the Atlanteans were about five times that of the Republic, but the losses of the Atlanteans could afford it, but the losses of the Republic directly affected the overall strength of the fleet, and the Fifth Fleet, which was about to take shape, was once again split and replenished to the four main fleets.

Jiang Yufei was incorporated into the Second Fleet with his warships and joined the mobile operation in mid-August.

After Ye Fei returned to the base star, he rushed directly to the Ministry of Defense to meet Xu Shijie.

When the two met, Xu Shijie said unhurriedly: "Sit." ”

"Yes!" Ye Fei sat down honestly.

"How's the training going?" Xu Shiming unexpectedly asked about the situation of the Islamic League army.

Ye Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "It's so-so, the training time is too short." ”

"Can you go to war?" Xu Shijie asked again.

Ye Fei was shocked, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes, but you can only carry out specific orders, and you don't have the ability to stand alone...... Chief, what's wrong? ”

"Nothing's wrong, it's just that there's not much time left for you." Xu Shijie said, "During this period of time, the pressure on the fleet is very great, and the current scope of confrontation between the enemy and us has expanded to an unprecedented fifty light years, and in another ten light years, it will be to the border of the Moose Alliance State." ”

"So fast?" Ye Fei was extremely surprised.

He knows that the military's recent actions, in addition to rescuing endangered countries, have meant delaying time. It is said that the 3,500 enemy ships should not force the military to this role, even if the fleet is not equipped with crystal missiles.

"There are too many enemies, and unless they are concentrated, our speed advantage and range advantage will not be brought into play." Xu Shijie said depressedly, "We have communicated with the Islamic League, and they are not willing to leave their homeland again, and would rather fight to the death with the Atlanteans." ”

"What a dead eye!" Ye Fei said unceremoniously.

"So, we have to find a way to change the current situation, and it doesn't make sense to continue to guard the Midway. I decided to give up the Midway Star. Transfer the forward fleet back. Xu Shijie said.

At present, the crystal missiles of the whole army are basically concentrated in the hands of the advancing fleet, and there are also four antimatter missiles, and such a force is likely to reverse the shape of the enemy and us when it is put into the battlefield.

Ye Fei asked suspiciously, "Chief." Do you want me to come back and command the fleet? ”

"It's not just about commanding the advancing fleet. It is also responsible for coordinating the fleet of the Islamic League. Xu Shijie smiled bitterly. I believe that now they have sent the order to prepare for war to the Zhuyue base. ”

"Send those half-people to battle?" Ye Fei couldn't believe it was true, "This is murder!" ”

"Ye Fei, you have to understand. We are only responsible for training them, not commanding. Xu Shijie said calmly.

Ye Fei also realized that he was too excited, calmed down and said, "Thirty Skyhawk-class, at most plus training ships, a total of thirty-one Skyhawk-class, what are you doing?" ”

"Not only that, the second batch of Skyhawk-class battleships has been built and is ready to be provided to them."

Hearing this, Ye Fei didn't know what to say.

The number of trainees prepared by Basel is indeed more than double the number needed, Ye Fei originally thought that the extra personnel would be gradually eliminated during the training process, but he didn't expect that this was not good, the second batch of warships was built, and everyone had to get on board in order to start the sixty warships.

After a while, Ye Fei said, "Why don't you build a few more God of War Class?" ”

"These battleships are laid in advance keels and have been in the process of construction, and if these battleships do not go off the assembly line, they will not be able to leave the dock." Xu Shijie said, "Ye Fei, go back and prepare for the next one, rest for two days after the advance fleet withdraws, and the day after tomorrow, you must take them to set off." ”

"Yes!" Ye Fei replied.

Two days later, the Forward Fleet escorted thirty brand-new Aquila-class ships through the Guò portal and into the Shuangzhu system.

The training at the Zhuyue base had been stopped, and after receiving the warship, all the trainees boarded the warship in advance groups, and the ground crew quickly painted the star and moon symbols representing Islam under the warship's head.

Immediately afterwards, these guys, who had just mastered the battleship, actually launched the battleship into the air and directly formed three fleets! To go to the battlefield with the advancing fleet.

Ye Fei didn't have the right to refuse, but it was a pity that these officers and soldiers had not yet completed their training.

The two sides converged and accelerated towards the Muslim Confederation Eighteen light-years away from the Shuangzhu Galaxy.

Due to the removal of crystal engines from the Aquila-class supplied to the Islamic League, these force-field engine-powered ships had a top speed of just over two light-years per day.

Ye Fei didn't have the patience to crawl with them, and the order from above clearly ordered that he was not allowed to leave his allies and act alone, so he could only kill time patiently little by little.

When nearly a hundred warships set sail from the Twin Pearls, the main fleet, scattered within a radius of fifty light-years, also received the order to assemble, and they left behind their rivals that had been entangled, and flew at full speed towards the system where the Muslim League was located.

The Atlantean fleet suddenly found that the opponents had disappeared in large numbers, but the fleet deliberately slowed down when it withdrew, leaving a little clue for the Atlanteans, and it didn't take long for the Atlanteans to hang the tail of the fleet.

Nine days later, the combined fleet arrived at the Muslim League, and Ye Fei and his advancing fleet did not even enter the galaxy, so they couldn't wait to leave their allies behind and rush to the battlefield to meet the returning friendly forces.

The advancing fleet, which had joined the battlefield as a fresh force, scattered and attacked with enough force field to stop the enemy, and in just one day, with the cooperation of friendly forces, took out six enemy ships.

The results of six ships do not seem to be much, but under the premise that the Atlanteans have learned to disperse and maneuver, whether or not they can catch the enemy ships is completely up to luck, and this number is not small.

In addition to the advancing fleet, the other friendly forces also made gains, adding up to about seventeen or eighteen enemy ships.

The Atlantean fleet keenly saw that all losses were concentrated in one direction, and Nates immediately ordered the fleet to concentrate in this direction.

The fleet, which carried out the order, lost more than two dozen battleships the next day.

Such losses were only a fraction of the average for Nates, and did not attract his attention in the slightest, but on the third day, the losses suddenly plummeted to more than forty ships, which could not but alarm him, and Nates vigilantly canceled the assembly order. (To be continued......)
