Chapter 356: In the Silence
The generals opened this piece of information one after another, and then they saw the composition of the 3rd Mobile Hunting and Destroyer Fleet, which was composed of two heavy cruisers and nearly ten large and small starships, capable of hunting and strangling any starship below the capital ship.
Such a fleet suddenly sent out a large number of emergency signals, and based on the analysis of the intercepted signals, the mobile base intelligence department deduced that it was likely to be hit hard, and these signals were all distress signals to the headquarters of the federal fleet. Moreover, it is becoming more and more urgent, indicating that the war situation is showing a one-sided trend.
"Is there anything else?" asked Lu Qiyun after reading the information.
The intelligence director shook his head, "I haven't received any signals from them since 11 hours ago. ”
"Where is the battle?"
"It's about 0.1 light-years away from the N7703 galaxy. ”
After a while, Lu Qiyun spoke, "Could it be Colonel Lin?"
The intelligence director weighed his words, "Although Colonel Lin Xi has fought a series of wonderful battles, the fleet she leads is limited in strength after all, and according to normal circumstances, it is impossible to annihilate such a fleet, let alone end the battle so quickly." ”
Another general also said: "If it were me, I would have to hide in the galaxy, use the cover of the planets and play hide and seek with them, and see if I can find a chance to eat one or two small boats." ”
At this time, Lu Qiyun suddenly said: "So, our opponent has ten less high-speed starships, and it also includes two heavy cruisers?"
"It is not certain whether it is two heavy cruisers, but it can be determined from what has been deciphered that at least one heavy cruiser was seriously injured and completely lost its combat effectiveness. ”
Lu Qiyun finally made up his mind and said: "Before the new fleet is transferred, it will be difficult for the opponent to form an encirclement network against us. Then it was decided, and the strategy for the next stage was to move at high speed, try to hit the opponent's mobile forces and delay time!"
In the N7703 galaxy, the blue sun is still tirelessly throwing light and heat.
Under its illumination, three starships lined up and were flying at a tenth of the speed of light. In the vast space outside the galaxy, this speed is about the same as a turtle crawling. All three starships were covered in bruises, and half of the Federation emblems were torn off from their hulls.
Behind the fleet, the great blue sun and its planets watched coldly as the remnants of the fleet faded away.
Planet 4, where three starships are docked at the orbital station at the same time, the Swan is particularly badly damaged, with hundreds of engineers coming in and out to repair it. And outside the station, there are several destroyers lined up for repairs. A separate warehouse was opened at the orbital station, which consisted of rows of shelves filled with makeshift coffins.
Lin Xi and Chu Jungui stood at the door of the warehouse, silently watching the staff carry in a coffin and put it on the shelf.
Lin Xi whispered, "This is the first time I've seen so many corpses. It's not that I haven't experienced war, it's just that I haven't experienced it, and I know half of the people in it, and many of them have spoken. But now...... There are 500 people here, right? And half of them can't even find their bodies. We won the battle, but I couldn't be happier. ”
Chu Jungui looked at Lin Xi and said, "The meaning of winning a war is to let the enemy lie down, not our people." ”
"Maybe......" Lin Xi sighed softly and said, "Sometimes I think it's good to be a replicant, at least you don't have to worry about losses." ”
"Aren't replicants forbidden by all of humanity?"
"I know, I'm just feeling a little emotional. ”
Chu Jungui nodded and asked, "Do you need to review the battle?"
"I almost forgot if you didn't remind me. Are you going to participate?"
Chu Jungui shook his head and said, "Forget it, at least for now, the less people outside know about our affairs, the better." ”
"So cautious!" Lin Xi smiled.
"The key to winning this battle is that they think my ship is really the White Feather?"
"I didn't expect that. ”
The two chatted for a few words, and Lin Xi left the warehouse and went to the command room of the Swan to review the battle. This is a necessary procedure for a good commander, and at the same time, it is also very important to clarify their respective contributions and achievements in this link. This is an internal meeting of the fleet, and Chu Jungui is an outsider after all, and it is not very good to participate.
The 3rd Mobile Fleet of the Federation Theater of Operations was chasing the Swan to the outer space of the galaxy, and met the combined fleet of Chu Jungui and Lin Xi here. According to the search signal, the 3rd Fleet mistakenly thought that Chu Jungui was driving the White Feather, and Chu Jungui's starship was not large, so it sent a destroyer to entangle Chu Jungui and the smaller starship next to him. The rest of the starships attacked the Swan and its four attached starships with all their might.
It's just that the commander of the mobile fleet never dreamed that although Chu Jungui only had two small starships, he had firepower that was almost equivalent to two and a half heavy cruisers!
In just ten seconds of concentrated fire, the terrifying high-energy beam pierced the destroyer, and then Chu Jungui went straight behind the mobile fleet, and at the same time as the Swan, he set fire to a heavy cruiser, and knocked out its shield and main engine in a matter of minutes.
The Federation fleet instantly fell into a panic, and another heavy patrol turned around and stormed Chu Jungui. It eventually destroyed Chu Jungui's newly-built smaller starship, but it itself was heavily damaged by the siege of the Swan and Chu Jungui and had to leave the battlefield.
The rest of the Federation starships fought and retreated, paying a heavy price, but also inflicting considerable losses on Lin Xi's fleet. In the end, only three starships escaped from the mobile fleet, while Lin Xi's fleet was almost entirely moderately damaged, and one destroyer was destroyed. A small starship newly built by Chu Jungui was also destroyed in this battle.
In contrast, the Federation's losses were far more severe, with a top-of-the-line hunting fleet almost wiped out. Lin Xi also needed to repair for more than ten days before he could return to the battle.
The system fell silent again, and starships took turns docking at the orbital station for repairs and supplies. Chu Jungui's starship was also repaired and replenished, and work began on the design of a second starship. The second starship is still a single-A plan gun design. After Chu Jungui cleaned up the battlefield, he obtained a large number of wreckage and equipment from the Federation Star Ship, which could be used on the new Star Ship. With these equipment, this kind of improvised starship with a single main gun can build 3 ships, and the rest can be put together another one for Dr. Zero.
Chu Jungui also recovered the identification and communication equipment of the destroyer that was destroyed in Lin Xi's fleet. Although the incident with the White Feather will most likely not happen again, as long as it is not chased by the Dynasty's missiles, it will be fine.
Just when Chu Jungui was massively expanding his cheap fleet, a shocking news came that the dynasty and the federation had ceased war.
