Chapter Fifty-Six: Troublesome Positional Warfare
Where the fragments of the blasted ammunition dispersed with the fireworks, the shield systems of multiple ships loomed and flickered.
Needless to say, the damage of the missiles of the Great Xia Fleet was beyond everyone's expectations, and some sharp-eyed people immediately knew that this was a missile made of explosive particles.
If it is said that in the face of a battleship-like weapon attack, the cycle of the shield system can basically keep up, but suddenly there is a wave of fierce attacks, which is a bit difficult to withstand.
"Ship 4's shield system is temporarily offline, and it will take 12 minutes to recover!"
"No, the electromagnetic waves from the explosion interfered with the operation of the reactor, and the No. 7 battleship has lost its combat effectiveness and asks to detach!"
"Battleship No. 23 has no impact for the time being, please instruct ......"
A flurry of announcements sounded beside Vidter, and Hameron's fleet commander was doing his best to reorganize the fleet.
"The power of the opponent's missiles exceeded our expected range, and it was impossible to strike only this one, and the detachments quickly dispersed!"
"Boss! Now what!? ”
The shouts of the fleet commander brought Vidette back to his senses.
He looked at the battle situation in the star chart in a trance, and involuntarily clenched his fists.
"Tsk!"
He admitted that he miscalculated the strength of the Great Xia battleship, or he did not expect the other side to develop a new type of missile.
The overall strength of Hameron's warships is not bad.
During this period of development, their fleet was like Great Xia, cutting melons and chopping vegetables to destroy other people's warships.
It's just that today's position has been reversed, and it has become the side of Hameron that has been crushed.
"Weapons, armor, shields, these are all expected and prepared, I really didn't expect that Great Xia would put explosive particles into use so quickly..."
"With such a powerful missile, they have a maximum of one launch load."
"Retreat the ships back to the back row of the galaxy and wait for the next fleet to join the battle."
"Although Liu Cong and Cory Maru plan to run away, the others will not let them go, let them delay the other empires, and we can concentrate on defending against the attack of Great Xia."
After a few exhales, Widette made this decision, "I haven't lost yet, I still have a chance to fight." ”
The Great Xia fleet is indeed powerful, but it is always a long-distance battle, as long as it can be delayed, plus the pirate group will attack from the other side.
Even if Great Xia wants to continue fighting, it is impossible for the Three Riyue and other empires to last long.
In this case, even if the war with Great Xia is resisted, then an armistice agreement will be negotiated.
Seeing that the situation is not good, admit it directly, and there is no shame.
It can be seen that although Vedt is a loose person, he is not useless, and quickly grasps the key points and changes his strategic thinking.
What happened next was exactly what he thought.
The fleet that had been fighting the enemy with Hameron began to withdraw, leaving a part of the fleet to hinder the pursuit.
This is a necessary sacrifice, and if it goes well, at least half of the fleet will be saved.
So the battle was divided into two parts.
Except for the fleets of Great Xia and Three Sun Moon besieging Hameron, the other empires certainly would not let go of those two empires, and gathered their fleets to pursue the fleeing fleet.
At the Hameron Stellar Base, relying on the defensive platform, the warships of Great Xia and Three Sun Moon will not be able to capture their targets for a while and a half.
After the stunning appearance of the GT210 missiles in Daxia, Hameron's fleet immediately dispersed.
In the case of reducing the aggregate damage, although there was some damage, at least it resisted the second wave of missile attacks.
After the two waves of missile attacks were completed, the missiles of the Great Xia fleet were also launched.
Originally, it was a disposable ammunition, and every round was made with money, and Chu Hua was satisfied with such a result.
"If it weren't for the loading of defensive missiles, there should have been another round."
Chu Hua gave a positive evaluation of this bombing operation.
The fleet of the three days and moons also launched a round of missile offensive at this moment, but it was not as strong as that of Great Xia, but under the bombardment of this wave of missiles, the conventional war was much easier.
The laser of a cruiser directly broke through the defenses of a Hameron destroyer and blew it up in an instant.
As for the cruiser Hameron, after suffering a series of blows, it was also difficult to defend under the attack of the turtledove cruiser in Great Xia.
It wasn't until five or six hours later that another group of empires was fighting at the edge of the galaxy.
Hamilon began to prepare to retreat, gradually abandoning the defensive strategy of the star base, and scattered out of the combat area to the galaxy's gravity well.
Disarm the rear galaxy.
"That's it?"
Chu Hua watched the Hameron fleet leave the defensive range of the star base, and wondered, "Spineless....."
But they can't just let them leave safely, and immediately divide their forces to pursue, leaving a group of warships to destroy the opponent's star base.
The same is true for the Three Sun and Moon fleets, but their fleet is not very large.
After thinking about it for a while, he left several warships here to help the Great Xia fleet block the counterattack attack of the warships left behind by Hameron.
Similar to the tank OT mob, let the output kill the boss as soon as possible.
A day later, the star base was reduced to a wreckage, and a large number of captives were salvaged and waiting to be released.
The first sovereign galaxy of Hamerlon, unplugged.
This equates to 10% progress in this war.
Why 10%?
Because the other side did not choose to fight to the death, it means that it is preparing for a positional war.
This is also one of the more troublesome forms of warfare in war, and it is also disgusting for expeditionary fleets.
It is impossible for the fleet to carry out combat missions indefinitely, and even if the warships can maintain combat for a long time, people will not be able to do it, and the replenishment of the base is also necessary.
Hameron's retreat bought a lot of time, relying on the star base to hold back the advancing fleets of Great Xia and Three Sun Moon.
However, as the number of Hameron's fleet gradually decreased, the time for the star base to be breached became faster and faster.
All the way up to the eighth day.
Fleets of pirate forces began to emerge at the edge of the Ring Nebula, and began to raid the borders of the Empire.
Now part of the empire began to struggle, should they continue to attack or return to the defense?
Although there are defensive troops left in their own territory, who knows if other forces will suddenly rush out to make trouble.
In the battle situation in the star map, Great Xia and the Three Sun Moon have been inserted into the two nodes of the Hameron Empire, and the red fleet logo is constantly flashing, about to expand the advantage.
Other empires have crossed the territory of Hameron and laid siege to the other two empires.
Pirate fleets were sporadic on the borders of the empires, with occasional raids.
However, after the battle continued for a day, some people planned to return to the territory.
"I think it's okay, and a truce is a good option in a situation like this."
"After this fight, Hameron's side should not dare to make a mistake, and it should be time for a truce, and there is no good point in dragging it out."
"Will you stop when you get to this point?"
Marie looked at the two temporary allies who were about to retreat and wondered, "In another ten days, Hameron is estimated to be unable to hold on, so why not try harder?" ”
The two are still reluctant to fight again, and still say that they want to defend back.
Seeing this, Chu Hua also understood, this was to achieve some kind of benefit.
"Alright, Marie, let them go back."
"But ....."
Chu Hua shook his head and motioned for Mary not to say more.
Marie frowned, wanting to say anything more, but in the end, she forgot about it.
The situation on the battlefield changed quickly, three days later.
With the withdrawal of the two empires, the pressure on the other side has plummeted, and the remaining empires have difficulty establishing an advantage, so they can only slowly retreat.
The fleets of Great Xia and Three Sun Moon are still sweeping away enemy star bases, and as Marie says, Hameron is about to collapse.
Under the attack of the large and powerful fleet of Great Xia, Hameron's defense was getting smaller and smaller.
At this moment, Hamerun's communication came to Chu Hua again.
Chu Hua originally planned to refuse, but he was a little curious about what other price he could make the two families retreat, so he agreed to this meeting and communication.
Unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was not a confession of Vidt's sad face, but a smug smile.......
