At the request of the captain, Chen Weiyin broke away from the self-propelled pole, floated to a corner of the ward, took out the emergency space combat suit, and got into it from behind. (Reprinted in this book 1(6)Kliterature.(1)М)[> and then fastened himself to the bulkhead.

Robb's capsule-like 'bed' closed automatically, enveloping him.

"You're going to send us back so soon?" Chen Weiyin said suspiciously in the communication system.

"It should be our fleet coming, Commander Stoldt told the hospital ship to retreat as soon as possible." Robb said with a smile. He was confident in his reasoning, and it was the inevitable choice of every qualified commander to give priority to hospital ships and logistical supply ships carrying wounded and prisoners from the battlefield.

As Robb had expected, a tense aura had permeated the bridges of every cruiser of the Imperial Army.

The Immortal Star Bundeswehr Fifth Fleet of 1,600 warships is coming in from 5,000 AU away. They were notified of their own ships earlier than the Imperial Army's Haraldi Squadron, which was being chased by them, so they quickly returned to the "Yi" space. The Fifth Fleet received an order to return directly to the planet Aegis, but after receiving the battle report, Vice Admiral Bormof, the commander of the fleet, felt quite strange about the destruction of the Fourth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet by the "Yi" planet, so he waved his army to kill the "Yi" planet to find out.

The unmanned reconnaissance ship that did not want to send found the Imperial fleet of two hundred ships. General Bao made a quick decision and decided to swallow this group of weak and poor worms.

The Bundeswehr warship swept over Lota at the speed of Akuberi at a speed of four levels? Steadt deployed a small reconnaissance alert network more than 5,000 astronomical units away. The unmanned reconnaissance ship of the Imperial Army immediately flew back to the airspace near the interstellar planet "Yi" at the speed of Akuberi at a speed of six to report the enemy's situation.

With a little more than eight minutes left for the Imperial Army, Lota asked the logistics ship and hospital ship to leave immediately, while thinking about what to do.

The Imperial army had plenty of time to escape, but Lota was reluctant to retreat without a fight. But it was absolutely fanciful to deal with a huge fleet of 1,600 battleships and cruisers with only 200 cruisers. All the captains nervously waited for Lota's order. Everyone is aware of the extremely unbalanced balance of power between friend and foe.

"Umbrella array, close to the planet 'Yi'." Lota finally gave the order.

"Sir, are we going to fight?" The subordinate asked worriedly.

"Of course you have to fight!" Lota replied solemnly. Her voice was full of confidence and determination, but her heart was uneasy, for even she felt that her next move would be too risky. But she was unwilling to choose to run away, so she could only fight to the death.

According to Lotta's deployment, the cruiser fleet of the New Roman Imperial Army formed a loose umbrella formation and flew close to the interstellar planet "Yi". Turn around at more than 300,000 kilometers and turn your back to the planets and your head to the deep space beyond the Milky Way, the direction in which the Bundeswehr fleet is coming.

Not long after, the Fifth Fleet of the Commonwealth Wehrmacht arrived as scheduled. After the large number of Bundeswehr warships changed to a faster-than-light state, they immediately formed a huge umbrella array, like a large net cast on the Imperial Cruiser Fleet with its back to the planet "Yi".

"One-tenth of the speed of light, spiraling, entering an effective combat distance and firing on its own."

On the flagship battleship "Gran", Vice Admiral Bormov easily issued orders to his subordinates. There were no other Imperial fleets found within a radius of thousands of astronomical units in the vicinity, and he completely regarded the small fleet in front of him as a "tooth sacrifice". It is a bit of a fuss to think that the 1,600 warships in his hands will launch a general attack on this small fleet of 200 cruisers. However, in General Bao's eyes, the question of victory is not a trivial topic, and it must be made in a big way.

"Sir, there is such a disparity in strength, but the enemy does not seem to be afraid of us." Some of the staff officers questioned, "They have time to escape, but they are putting on a decisive posture, will there be any 'shady' schemes?" ”

"'Yin' conspiracy?" Balmov exclaimed disdainfully, "The 'shady' conspiracy of two hundred cruisers? Could it be a 'kamikaze'? Don't worry too much, just smash them all. ”

The extreme disparity in power and the confidence of the main commander reassured his subordinates. The Wehrmacht's Fifth Fleet coordinated and 'pressed' its opponents in a tight formation.

Seeing that the distance was gradually shrinking, Lota hurriedly ordered: "Retreat and maintain formation." ”

She didn't want to engage her opponent too early, so that her weak fleet would be overwhelmed by her opponent's overpowering firepower.

"Sir, if we retreat any further, we will enter the effective combat distance of the 'easy' planet." The subordinate alerted worriedly.

"That's the distance!" Lota replied harshly.

The Imperial cruisers activated their rocket thrusters in the opposite direction, pushing the battleship backwards and approaching the dim interstellar planet behind them. The Bundeswehr did not notice anything wrong and continued to 'close' steadily. At the current number, the Fifth Fleet could destroy most of the opponent's ships in a single salvo.

Soon, the distance between the Imperial Army and the "Yi" planet was reduced to 20,000 kilometers, and the distance with the opponent was also reduced to 300,000 kilometers. On both sides of the bridge and in the tactical command center, the blue-and-green ship-shaped icons showing the distance between friend and foe are almost overlapping.

"Spread out!" Lota's screams spread through every corner of the Imperial Cruisers.

"Fire!" Bormof exclaimed with triumphant joy.

No one could 'figure out' which of the two commanders gave the order first, but by the time the Wehrmacht's Fifth Fleet 'fired' millions of rays over a distance of 300,000 kilometers, most of the Imperial cruisers had already deviated from course and spread out towards the edge of the umbrella formation.

Only a handful of slow-moving Imperial cruisers were hit, and they immediately turned into violent balls of light in the dense dead light.

The millions of high-energy particle beams and 'excited' beams that failed to hit the target instantly pierced the scattered Imperial warship array, pouring into the "Yi" planet like a torrential rain, and 'stirring' up pieces of explosive flashes on the surface of the pitch-black planet. Most of the surface of the hemisphere where the "Yi" planet is 'engaged' against the human fleet has been carpet-bombed, so it looks like the entire planet is in flames in space, and the scene is spectacular.

"How?!" On the "Grant", Bormoff shouted angrily and in shock. Unexpectedly, the victory was in hand, but the opponent dodged the first round of firepower. He ordered loudly: "Shoot freely, you must crush them!" ”

But the opponent moved faster than they expected. The Imperial forces dispersed quite quickly, and by the time the Bundeswehr battleships and cruisers realigned their firing windows, the Imperial Umbrella Formation had transformed into a circle and was accelerating to flee in all directions. As the Imperial Army, which was originally separated between the Wehrmacht and the "Yi" planet, spread out in all directions, the Fifth Fleet directly faced the "Yi" planet with the black "hole" and "hole", and the distance between them and the "Yi" planet had been shortened to 300,000 kilometers.

"Sir, we should back off at once!" The staff officer who had just alerted Bormoff let out a scream of horror.

However, it was too late for him to remind.

Countless points of light flashed on the surface of the restored "Yi" planet, and in an instant, they elongated into hundreds of millions of dead rays of light, 'shooting' into the cosmic void.

Bormof only saw that the "Grant" tactical command center was filled with a blinding white light, and then it also turned into nothingness.

A large number of Federation warships were penetrated by dense 'precise' high-energy particle beams and 'excited' beams, and they exploded one after another.

The majestic "planetary bombardment" was fleeting. When all the survivors came to their senses, the surface of the planet "Yi" returned to its original state, dark and mysterious, but now, she had another breath of death. Because around her, there are countless wrecks and fragments of Bundeswehr warships, as well as a large number of souls that have turned into stardust.

The Fifth Fleet, which had been imposing a few seconds ago, was wiped out with the silence of the "Yi" star artillery fire. As many as 150,000 soldiers and nearly 1,600 warships have since become dust around the planet "Yi". The ancients had clouds, and each star represented a person, but in fact, each star was stacked by countless undead.

"VENI, VIDI," THE IMPERIAL ARMY CORRESPONDENCE WAS FILLED WITH ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERS.

The warriors of the Senate and the Roman people were celebrating not only their success from annihilation, but also the victory that could be remembered on their heads. A mere 200 cruisers not only dodged the onslaught of an opponent eight times their size, but also led to the annihilation of their entire army, a feat that no one had ever done before.

"Stay away from the 'easy' planet right away!" Lotta? Stodder gave the order with all his might.

The ecstatic subordinates didn't know that at this time, she was already soaked under the space combat suit and almost collapsed. So much so that the air conditioning system of the space combat suit was running at full capacity to help her body function quickly return to normal. Only she herself was well aware that the battle took three completely fatal risks one after another. If the timing and process of spreading the formation were slightly wrong, he and nearly 10,000 brothers would be bombarded into interstellar dust by the Federation Army. The second risk is entirely a "force majeure factor", that is, whether the "easy" planet will fire as scheduled, and Lotta herself is completely gambling. And it is completely unknown whether the "easy" planet will be destroyed along with them.

She only deduced from the confession of the captain of the hospital that the "Yi" star would fight back against the forces that attacked her, and she took this extremely dangerous action. The higher the risk, the higher the reward. Now it seemed that the adventure had had worked more than expected, and Lotta let out a long breath.

When twenty-four hours later, Gus? Colonel Whitehead and Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Ziyue led the Haraldi squadron of the Imperial Central Fleet back to the Yi field, and there were no more Immortal Star Bundeswehr ships in the surrounding space for several light years.

"Well done, Rota." Gus admired convincingly, "Although the enemy was not directly destroyed by our army, it was your deliberate actions that caused their total annihilation. So this record can be credited to you and your cruiser. ”

"I didn't even think about any results." "My heart was about to jump out, and for a moment, I even regretted my decision to take the risk of annihilating the enemy. ”

"Judging from the battlefield records and your report, it is indeed quite thrilling." Jiang Ziyue also looked at his fiancée with a look of admiration, "To be honest, this kind of action once is enough, it is too risky, and the slightest carelessness will wipe out the whole army." ”

"Yo, I feel sorry for my wife." Gus exclaimed mischievously, "Judging from the battlefield records and the captains' reports, Lotta's courage and courage this time are extraordinary. If it were me, I really couldn't make up my mind. There was time to retreat, and I would rather choose to run away than stay and take the plunge. ”

For his words, Jiang Ziyue nodded knowingly. He and Gus share the same philosophy of war, fighting if you fight, and retreating if you don't. If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you will run away, unless you are cornered and have no choice, you will risk fighting to the death with the enemy. Although there have been several victories over the enemy under disadvantage since joining the army, they were all made when they were 'forced' to a desperate situation by the enemy. He can't do it if Lota has plenty of time and space to retreat, but he still chooses such an extremely dangerous action.

Jiang Ziyue said sincerely: "With so many brothers risking their lives to design a trap full of uncertainties, I really can't do it." ”

"Ziyue, this time you have to understand that Lota is completely worthy of you." Gus smiled and said, "You only defeated four in Operation Cleopatra in May, and you only inflicted heavy damage on the Federation tracking fleet, but you were not able to wipe them out. This time, Lota didn't fire a single shot, and she wiped out eight times as many enemies. The credit is much more than yours. ”

"It doesn't matter who gives the most credit." Lota said sweetly, "Ziyue has already promised to marry me." ”

Gus looked at Jiang Ziyue in surprise and asked, "I heard you right, right?" ”

Jiang Ziyue said solemnly: "I heard you right. In Neo-Byzantium, on the eve of the fleet's departure, I promised Lotta. Get married as soon as you get back. ”

Gus stared at Jiang Ziyue with an incredulous expression, and sighed in a low voice: "As the saying goes, the face of a 'woman' is changeable, and the heart of a man is changeable. ”

"What do you say, Bald Pirates?" Lota shouted dissatisfiedly, "Ziyue has always loved me very much, what kind of face is changeable?" ”

"Alright, let's get down to business." Jiang Ziyue hurriedly corrected the topic to military priorities, "Since the 'Yi' planet has such a powerful power and a native intelligent being, I think it is unlikely that we will be able to control it. ”

"You have a point." Gus agreed, "In this way, the 'easy' planet is a huge fortress planet that protects the world and creatures in the 'Strange Matter' layer. ”

"Didn't the fortress planets prove unsuitable for the requirements of modern interstellar warfare?" Lota asked, puzzled.

Jiang Ziyue explained: "That's because our human protection technology can't keep up with the power of attack weapons. Even with hundreds of millions of high-powered directed energy weapons deployed on a single planet, they cannot be completely destroyed by the fleet from a few astronomical units away. Therefore, transforming a planet with a fixed orbit into a fortress full of heavy artillery is not worth the loss. This situation can be avoided unless the planet is able to change its orbit at will, like a warship, or has a truly 'invulnerable' means of protection. Of course, our human technological level cannot meet either of these two points. ”

"But the interstellar planet 'Yi' did it!" Gus said solemnly.
