March 17, 2205, Proxima Centauri.

The colorful shimmer gradually spread under the cover of the black background, and the two warships of the Yangtze River Great Wall finally returned to Proxima Centauri after a month's voyage.

The position where the two warships appeared was not very far from the forward base, and after getting out of the faster-than-light state, Ye Fei contacted the command headquarters as soon as possible: "Headquarters headquarters, the Yangtze River calls ......"

"I'm Lu Jian, Ye Fei, where is your current location?" Lu Jian, who had not rested all night, had bloodshot eyes, a pair of panda eyes lined with deep sunken eye sockets, and a general's uniform, which looked laughable and awkward.

But when Ye Fei saw the haggard Lu Jian, his heart was only full of sadness: "Commander, our ship is located in the predetermined location, and the departure error is only half a light second. "The speed of faster-than-light flight is too fast, and the slightest error in the time of detachment will deviate from the predetermined coordinates by hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and the difference of only half a light second is already very accurate.

"Good!" Lu Jian's eyes shone brightly, "Ye Fei, it is said that you and your battleship have overfulfilled the task, no matter how you look at it, you should rest for a while, but time waits for no one, and when this battle is over, I will arrange for you to rest." ”

"Commander, don't worry, after flying for more than a month, everyone is so idle that they are about to grow moldy hair, and there is no need to rest, so you can give an order."

"Okay, that's what I'm waiting for." Lu Jian took the case, "You also know the situation, although yesterday's raid didn't make the bone mound anything, but it didn't want to fly back in a short time." Don't miss the opportunity again, you immediately join up with the supply ship and complete the supply as quickly as possible. In addition, inform He Zhou to be with you. The supply ship has prepared a backup resonance radio, and the detailed battle plan will be passed on to you immediately. ”

"Yes!" Ye Feili saluted, Lu Jian returned the salute, and ended the brief call.

After Ye Fei conveyed Lu Jian's order to He Zhou, the two battleships flew one after the other towards the asteroid belt not far away, and joined the supply ship Peng Zehu, which had been waiting there.

After the Yangtze River and the Pengzehu established contact, the two ships slowly approached, and after the speed of the two sides remained consistent, hundreds of slender mechanical arms suddenly poked out from the surface of the hull of the supply ship, which originally looked ordinary.

The robotic arm methodically lifted large and small supply boxes from the warehouses scattered throughout the hull of the supply ship, and quickly delivered them to the Yangtze River like an assembly line.

pre-installed modules for missiles in groups of fifty; a group of 5,000 shells; a set of nine nuclear warheads, packed to resist nuclear explosions; There's also plenty of drinking water, food, and a small amount of fuel, to name a few.

This is not the first time that the Yangtze River has received supplies. However, in the past, replenishment was carried out slowly under the premise of ensuring safety. And this time it's time to grab it, and you can't delay it for a minute.

The ship's supply officer in charge of logistics was so busy that he hit his ass with his heels.

In order to complete the supply as soon as possible, Ye Fei mobilized the entire ship's manpower to work together. Even he himself put on power armor and took the lead to help. The speed of material handling has been greatly accelerated - in order to improve the efficiency of supply handling. Ye Fei even ordered the artificial gravity on the perimeter of the battleship to be turned off.

It took a full two hours for thousands of tons of materials to be transported, and Ye Fei, who had returned to the bridge, let out a sigh: "Lao He." I'm done here, thanks. "He didn't even have time to get his armor, but luckily the command chair was big and sturdy.

The Great Wall has long received the new radio station, and the reason why it has been lingering around is to cover the Yangtze River, which is in a state of replenishment.

Ships must open many superficial hatches to receive supplies, and in this state, ships are extremely vulnerable, and even a biological warship can cause irreparable damage.

"You're welcome, you should be." He Zhou's reply was simple and clear, "I'll go first." ”

He Zhou had already received a new order from Lu Jian: after covering the Yangtze River to complete its supply, it would immediately join up with the main force.

"Roger!" The two saluted each other and cut off the communication, and then Ye Fei immediately contacted the command headquarters, "Commander, the Yangtze River has completed its supply, please instruct." ”

"Immediately rush to the approved coordinates and stand by!"

"Yes!"

The Yangtze River broke away from the supply ship and accelerated to the designated coordinates. At the same time, the main force of the expeditionary force, which had been hidden near the forward base after the battle yesterday, suddenly rushed out of the asteroid belt in an unprecedentedly dense formation, and the front of the troops was directed at the alien fleet hovering over the forward base.

Forward base, Outer Skeleton Fleet.

In the stepped command core, a white exoskeleton sits high on the top, and two rows of blue exoskeletons are lined up in two neat rows at its feet.

Its name cannot be translated into human language, and to call it by its name in a human way would be a series of awkward chemical terms, some of which are so out of the way that even the best chemists of mankind would be dazzled by its name.

If its name had to be translated into human language, it would be the closest translation to the original meaning: the White Death Star.

"Your Excellency, the human fleet is approaching." A blue exoskeleton crouched at the feet of the white skeleton, its forehead spewing the most respectful fragrance...... This smell is simply poisonous to humans.

The white Death Star was very satisfied with the respect of his subordinates, and the six parietal jaws moved slowly, and a faint scent erupted: "What do damn humans want to do?" "Its name comes from the planetary system located 1,700 light-years away from the solar system, where there is a blue planet that has evolved intelligent life.

In that battle, it was the first to lead a fleet into the interior of the planet, and when the Great Lord led his people to plunder all the resources, the blue planet turned into a gray-white Dead Land, and afterwards, the Great Lord himself gave it a name and gave it twice as many ships as before.

The blue-bone man of Volde's cautious suggestion: "Your Excellency the Great Lord is far away from the fleet of Your Excellency the Warlord, you must give the cunning humans a little bit of strength." ”

The Blue Bone Man is a junior aristocrat in the Outer Bone Society, with a status only slightly higher than that of ordinary cannon fodder, but with a much more flexible brain, and usually takes on the role of a staff officer.

"The lord fell for their tricks in front of the Seven Lun Towers, and now I only have this fleet in my hands, and it is difficult to resist the strong humans." The white Death Star is not stupid. "Pass my orders, leave half of the fleet to guard the human crypt, and the other half rush forward, but don't chase too far, just drive the cunning humans away, and never give them a chance to break through."

Lenta is the unit of time of the Outer Skeleton Man, and one Lenta is equal to two hours and seventeen minutes of a human being.

"Your orders direct our direction." The bluebone man walked backwards, immediately relaying the order.

The white Death Star rested his chin on his knees, and several swollen beetles turned into human warships in front of him, slowly approaching the outer skeleton fleet of the other beetles.

"Humans? Hum! A flash of anger flashed in the white Death Star's eyes.

It's not the first time that the Exoskeleton and the Expeditionary Force have dealt with each other. They are able to pinpoint the forward base hidden in countless asteroids. It's because of the contact with the fish that slipped through the net near Proxima Centauri.

The white Death Star knew very well that once the two sides launched a large-scale hedge, the expeditionary force would 100% use the speed advantage to distance themselves before making close contacts.

It doesn't know what kite flying is, but it understands what humans do it for. Therefore, he has always hated and helpless the extremely scoundrel tactics of human beings.

The history of the Exoskeleton is much longer than that of humans. Although their social formation has led to a history that is far less detailed than that of humans. However, the record of major events is quite detailed. It's just that the strict class dooms "culture" to be a luxury only reserved by the aristocracy, and the dispensable low-level cannon fodder will never know what history is, at least it must be a nobleman above the blue. to have access to valuable historical records.

The white Death Star happens to be interested in history, and in their more than a thousand years of wandering, they have encountered all kinds of intelligent civilizations, but all intelligent civilizations have swept into the garbage heap of history under the absolute strength of the Outer Bone Man, but the human civilization, which is not developed, is unique among the various civilizations that the Outer Bone Man has come into contact with!

The biggest headache for these guys with bones growing outside is the endless strange tactics of humans - the outer bone tribe that first appeared in the solar system has already passed the entire process of human resistance to the outer bone people to the subsequent communities, but the speed of light propagation is limited, and so far, it has not been able to reach Sirius 8.6 light years away.

The Sirius colony has always been in a state of superluminal speed, and it was only after arriving at Proxima Centauri that they contacted the Exoskeleton who had been hiding here for a long time before they got the relevant information.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and as they flew into half a light second, the expeditionary force still had no intention of slowing down, and the white Death Star couldn't help muttering in his heart: "What tricks are humans going to play?" ”

The flagship of the expeditionary force, the Yanjing.

"Half-light-second ......"

Lu Jian, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes: "The whole fleet, fire freely, and maintain a dense formation......"

"Free Fire, Repeat, Free Fire ......"

"Keep in formation, take care to keep ...... formation"

"Turn on the defense system, manage the loss group ......"

All kinds of missions resounded, the expeditionary force rushing forward did not slow down at all, the two capital ships and four destroyers flew like an arrow towards the heavy outer skeleton fleet, the six battleships could shoot hundreds of missiles in each salvo, and waves of missiles flowed towards the enemy as if they were flying towards the enemy, and the microwave cannons that were fired to the maximum power formed an invisible wall on the outside of the conical formation.

After all, the microwave cannon travels at the speed of light, and before the missiles can be used, hundreds of warships of the Outer Bone Man Striker were turned into half-baked barbecue by the microwave cannon.

The white Death Star was furious and ordered the fleet to rush forward.

The speed is not as good as that of humans, and the best tactic is to directly overwhelm humans with strong strength!

Although the human warship is strong, the outer bone people also have the proverb "ants bite the elephant to death".

The dense missiles penetrated into the group of outer skeleton ships under the expectant eyes of the officers and men of the expeditionary army, but the white Death Star gave the order first, and all the biological warships that were close to the explosion point quickly dispersed, although some biological warships were not able to dodge and were destroyed by the explosion, but the number was only about 10 percent of the previous number.

The white Death Star is secretly proud, how can it be that there is no progress at all after suffering so many losses from mankind? Judging the explosion range of a missile is not a difficult task for a skeleton man.

The human side was stunned by this sudden surprise, without the assistance of missiles, the density of human firepower dropped by at least one-third, but the arrow had to be fired, Lu Jian gritted his teeth and gave the order to accelerate the advance.

As soon as the six super battleships entered the effective range of the condensed beam, tens of thousands of biological warships shot out an overwhelming condensation beam. The firepower was so dense that even the defense system could not block it all, but the expeditionary force rushed headlong into the enemy army under the fire of the outer skeletons!

The speed of the two sides hedged was so fast that the alien fleet only had time to shoot a round of frozen beams.

Although the expeditionary force that penetrated into the enemy's army had to face enemy ships in all directions, it was surrounded by enemy ships, and it was remarkable that they were directly facing a hundred and ten ships, and most of the enemy ships were blocked by their own warships.

The six battleships were like the Monkey King who got into the belly of the princess of the iron fan, and all the outer skeletons who approached were all roasted by the powerful microwave, and for a while, the pressure on the expeditionary force was greatly reduced. Assault from all sides. It's easier than the previous kite-flying tactics, as long as you take care not to let the battleship crash directly into the enemy ship - human warships are equipped with onboard intelligence systems, in which case the assistant piloting software calculates the direction of progress in advance. As much as possible, avoid direct ramming of enemy ships.

The white Death Star doesn't care about a few biological warships at all. If it's possible. It would rather destroy a human fleet alive with hundreds or thousands of warships!

However, although the human warships had to slow down due to the density of the biological warships, all the biological warships that stood in the way of the front would be taken care of by the microwave cannons, and they would be completely roasted before they could rush in front of the expeditionary force...... This distance is not tens or hundreds of kilometers. But up to 30,000 km!

The maximum range of the microwave cannon is half a light second, 150,000 kilometers, but the most powerful distance is exactly about 30,000 kilometers.

The speed of the slowed expeditionary force is only about 1,000 kilometers per second, and it takes half a minute to fly 30,000 kilometers, no matter how you adjust the direction, it is enough.

Even Lu Jian didn't expect such a result, let alone the white Death Star, which could no longer maintain its lofty posture, clenching his fists angrily and roaring to the sky.

The command core of the Outer Skeleton's flagship was filled with the stench of its unwilling roar, and even the Outer Skeleton himself hated the unpleasant smell.

Lu Jian, who kept pace with the times, immediately adjusted his strategy and changed the chiseling tactics in his plan to close-range grappling. Because the two sides have become entangled, the dense alien warships have lost their room to evade, the missiles of the expeditionary force have once again made a contribution, and the chaotic group of biological warships has a faint flash of nuclear explosion from time to time.

The white Death Star is becoming more and more angry and unwilling, but after all, the expeditionary force only has six warships, and the situation is not as easy as it seems.

Although drilling into the depths of the enemy's array can avoid directly facing a large number of enemy ships, the enemy ships in all directions are really unguardable, and the six battleships are more or less subjected to the speed of solidified light, once the surface of the hull is hit by the solidified beam, the telescopic gear will be blocked inside the ship or stuck outside the ship and cannot move, and the failure of one gear lever is still a trivial matter, but once several gear levers are glued at the same time, it will create a defensive blank area, attracting more and more enemy firepower, and the area of the solidification zone will become larger and larger.

If you compare the telescopic lever to hair, the coagulation zone is like a bald spot on the top of the head.

The melee between the two sides did not last long, but each battleship of the expeditionary force had a few bald spots on it, and there was a tendency to expand, not only the defense was affected, but even the microwave artillery began to show losses.

"Commander, you can't go on like this!" Xu Dong persuaded worriedly, "The enemy's losses are more than half, but our army's losses are getting higher and higher, and it is no longer possible to maintain the previous firepower density. ”

The missile silo on the port side of the Yanjing, which had been rushing to the front, happened to be hit by a coagulation beam, and the wellhead was sealed and no longer usable. The three microwave cannons on the right side of the Jinmen were sealed, and the intensity of the fire dropped by a large margin.

The four destroyers were no better, each with wounds.

Although the battleship was built with the problem of corrosion in mind, if you want to melt the coagulation ball in a short time, you must use a large amount of strong alkali, so that the outer armor and other equipment of the warship will inevitably be corroded by the strong alkali, and even if the corrosion ball is done, the damaged equipment will not be able to be put into battle again.

The best way to do this is to take a lot of time out after the war and slowly resolve it.

"Is it more than half?" Lu Jian groaned slightly, "Launch two rounds of missiles at the maximum density to accelerate out of the battle." ”

"Yes!" Xu Dong immediately came to his senses and immediately conveyed the order.

The warships of the expeditionary force, which had always maintained a formation formation, immediately moved into action and accelerated their breakthrough.

The white Death Star discovered humanity's intentions and ordered the extermination of humanity at all costs.

In less than half of the battle, its fleet had lost nearly a third, and if it couldn't wipe out the human fleet, the lord would definitely not be able to spare it. Rather than bear the wrath of the lord afterwards, it is better to fill up the entire fleet now, and as long as the last victory is achieved, the lord will definitely reward more than this point of loss.

At that point, it will become an even more powerful lord, and perhaps one day in the future, it will become the new lord after the community is divided.

Although its idea is good, it is a pity that the attack method of the biological warship is too unusual, and it is impossible to stop the expeditionary force - if it is the era of the recoil engine, there is also the possibility of sealing the thruster nozzle, and after switching to the magnetic engine, the threat of the solidified beam to the human warship has been greatly reduced.

If it weren't for that, Lu Jian would not dare to order the expeditionary force to clash head-on with the enemy.

"Report, the density of enemy ships in front is too high to be avoided-" Seeing that he was about to rush out of the enemy position, the carcass of the baked biological battleship in front of him unexpectedly blocked the direction of progress.

"Xu Dong—" Lu Jian hissed and roared.

"Here!"

"Drive at full speed, make a way for me!"

"Yes-" (To be continued......)
