Chapter 245: The Battle Outside Pandora
ISV Bradbury, control room.
The technicians in charge of controlling the spacecraft thought that today would be the same as usual, and that it would finally pass without waves, when a cold mechanical sound suddenly sounded.
"Warning, warning, energy radar detects anomalous radiation fluctuations!"
A sudden panic completely enveloped the entire bridge, and an emergency announcement was sent from the ship's intelligent system.
"Captain, seventy light-seconds to our left, there's an unknown fleet that's currently moving at full speed and about to encounter our fleet!"
"No, there's the rear, they're only thirty light-seconds away from us!"
"What! It's completely unconscionable...... It's simply impossible! ”
Captain Hart's voice was extremely high-pitched, with a hint of hysteria in it.
And in the dark universe that he can't see, around the RDA Startup Star fleet, time and space seem to be opened up by many black holes, and one ship after another is speeding out of it as if it is sailing out of the dock.
The distance of one light second is about 300,000 kilometers, and according to the state that the entrepreneurial star cannot reach full acceleration at the moment, it takes about 30 seconds to reach.
Although it was concluded from the structure of the spaceship that it was impossible for the other party to have an ultra-long-range attack method, Shen Sen still let the three fleets distance and act separately just in case.
The command ship of the Gravity, Shen Sen picked up the document with red-headed text printed on his console.
It was a paper document, and thousands of years had passed since the invention of such a thing as paper in ancient Daxia.
Although most of the information is now circulated in computers, humans are still accustomed to recording another copy on paper to show its importance.
That document was the battle plan submitted by Liu Zhiwei, commander-in-chief of the fleet.
Shen Sen flipped through the documents, and the familiar lines of black Chinese characters came into view.
[If the enemy also has the will to actively counterattack, he will not regard the current situation as a crisis of encirclement, but will take it as a good opportunity to break through the scattered forces of our army, and at this time, the enemy's first offensive should be aimed at the Second Fleet located in front of it.
"The Great Age of Genes"
The Second Fleet had the least number of troops, and it would be the easiest to win if it attacked this force. After defeating the Second Fleet, the choice of whether to target the Third Fleet or the First Fleet next will still be in the hands of the enemy.
In the face of such a situation, our army's methods of confrontation are described below. After being challenged, the Third Fleet can respond for a moment and then slowly retreat. Then, when the enemy forces followed, the 1st and 3rd fleets could take the back route and attack.
If the enemy turns around and attacks, the Second and Third Fleets can also respond for a while, and the First Fleet attacks behind the enemy. After the enemy camp shows fatigue, our army can start the final encirclement and annihilation battle.
Although the possibility of an effective counterattack by the enemy is very small, the proposal of this plan is for prevention on the one hand, and for the sake of drama on the other, and the matters that should be paid attention to are the types of troops, the close interconnection between them, and the flexible combat ...... that can advance and retreat."
Shen Sen closed the file and looked up at the three-dimensional projection of the ceiling, and hundreds of millions of bright stars also looked back at him coldly.
……
"I know exactly what you're trying to say."
Inside the Bradbury, Captain Hart, who quickly regained his composure, politely responded to the crew members who came in a hurry, and opened his mouth first, "You guys want to remind me again that we are in a disadvantageous situation right now, right?" ”
"Exactly, Your Excellency."
Kenley, the ship's security director, took a half-step forward and responded.
Forty-five or sixteen years old, emaciated, and with a knife-edged impression, he was a veteran of combat and tactical theory, and was now in charge of the day-to-day security work inside the ship.
"Judging from the radar, the enemy forces are dozens of times larger than our ships, and at the moment, they are encircling us from three sides. At this point, it is clear that we have fallen into the encirclement of the enemy. ”
Hart's turquoise pupils glowed with disbelief, and he stared straight at Kenley.
"You mean we've already lost?"
"I didn't say that, Captain. In fact, our Startup Star ship is not qualified to fight the pair at all. If you can take a look at the display, you can see how dire the situation is right now......"
After watching the group of red "stars" on the display screen surround him at lightning speed, not only Captain Hart, but also the crew members of several other ships were shocked by it.
The spaceship's display screen was all covered with red artificial light spots, and in a blink of an eye, the brightness of those light spots increased a lot, and the volume continued to increase. The scene in front of him couldn't help but make all the people who saw it with their own eyes beat faster, their mouths and tongues were dry, and they were completely stunned on the spot.
"What's going on, we've met a colony fleet from another company?" Hart stood up from the commander's seat and roared angrily, "What the hell are they going to do, to take Pandora? What the hell are those bastards thinking, knowing that this behavior is against the laws of interstellar commerce? ”
Some of the crew members also had such doubts in their hearts, and the other party's intention was already very obvious, that is, to encircle their spaceship, and the next step might be to attack.
Although this was all too clear, they had no idea that the armed colonial fleets of other companies would be so bold as to dare to launch a surprise attack when the RDA had already completed its legal occupation of Pandora.
More than 200 years ago, the "Battle for Pandora" broke out here in a brutal way, and the occupation of the planet Pandora by the victorious RDA has continued to this day after paying a huge price.
However, the menacing fleet in front of them seemed to tell them that a new war was about to break out.
"What's going on, we're just transports, not their opponents at all!"
One crew member shouted stupidly, and many couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads with the back of their hands.
Although the room temperature inside the ship has been maintained at 16 degrees, it is impossible to sweat at all.
"Your Excellency, what now?"
Kenley, who asked Hart, also had an irrepressible sharpness in his voice.
As a veteran, he knows better than anyone the difference between the two sides.
The enemy fleet has several hundred, and there are only six ships on its own side, so even the same attack ships are invincible in such a huge number gap.
"First of all, urgently contact the Capital Star and the Entrepreneurial Star, our department encounters the enemy forces in the α6.1, β3.9, and γ5.8 areas, and let them make a choice, whether to surrender or fight!"
But the next moment, the light flashed on the display, and for a moment, the face of Captain Hart, who was constantly roaring, turned red.
The enemy had already attacked, and a transport ship not far away was fired at by an enemy salvo of red beam cannons.
The tremendous energy from the muzzle of the cannon, and the accompanying light, seemed to have stained the depths of the soldiers' eyes with blood red.
Hart waved his arms and shouted: "No need to contact them, it's too late, let's find a way to surrender first......"
