Brigadier General Wang Zhonghui, the commander of the Imperial Advance Fleet, stared out of the porthole with a blue face, the rebel fighters raging everywhere, his heart was dripping blood, this was his fleet, the most powerful fleet he had ever commanded in his life, he was still grateful to Rear Admiral Piper for giving him command of such a powerful fleet, but he didn't expect that in less than forty-eight hours, it would be wiped out one after another in front of his eyes.

Fools, assholes...... His teeth were clenched, trying not to reveal the true feelings in his heart in front of his subordinates, and he didn't know whether he was scolding his boss, Major General Piper, who forcibly ordered him to advance and not allow him to retreat, or he was scolding himself who was finally persuaded or succumbed to pressure, and now his gratitude to this major general had all turned into a resentment, this commander only knew that Chong Chong Chong, brave and energetic was more than enough, but it was better to consider the strength of the rebels, in the tentative battle with the rebels earlier, The rebels didn't have many more fighters than them, but the losses on their side were extremely heavy, and it was obvious that the rebels might not have too many covering troops left in the Siberian system, but they were definitely the elite of the rebels, after all, this system was the headquarters of the rebel alliance.

Having learned the power of these rebels, he suggested a temporary retreat, sending only a small number of fighters to reconnoiter and harass, and waiting for the arrival of the main fleet before launching an attack, but unfortunately, Rear Admiral Piper did not agree with him, and in the general's opinion, several other invading fleets reported exchanges of fire and contact with the rebel fleets, including the rebels' most powerful Seventh Fleet. It has been confirmed that it is not in the Siberian galaxy, and the entire rebel alliance has only a few fleets, so there will not be many covering troops left in the Siberian galaxy, even if the rebels are elite troops, but there are more than a hundred super banshees in the commodore fleet, plus the strong fire support of the battleship itself, even if it is defeated, it can at least hold out for a while. At that time, the main fleet should also be able to arrive. And retreat. Perhaps the rebels will have the time and opportunity to flee in a good time, so the oppression must be maintained without interruption and the pressure on the rebels will increase...... In short, a lot of reasons boil down to the last point, which is that it is not allowed to retreat and continue to advance, otherwise military law will be involved.

Maybe it's because of the reason for agreeing with the major general, or maybe it's because of the major general's superior, who always has to obey the order. In the end, he had to order his fleet to move on, but he knew that the more he advanced, the fiercer the rebels would resist and counterattack, and he had already lined up his defensive formation, and all the fighter pilots were on standby in the cockpit of the Super Banshee fighter, waiting for the rebels to come.

The rebel attack came as expected. But not a wave. It was two waves, flanking back and forth, which made his heart sink. The rebel fighters coming from the rear were clearly coming from the direction of the JP1 space jump point, and he had previously scouted the closer jump point after entering the Siberian galaxy from the JP3 hop point, and there was no trace of the rebels at that time, and if the brigadier general guessed correctly, the rebels had obviously received significant reinforcements.

In front of two waves of enemy aircraft, and at least one wave of fighters was flown by elite rebel pilots -- the brigadier general sincerely hoped that the pilots of the other group of rebel planes would not be as good as their colleagues, so that the number of his original more than 100 Super Banshee cover fighters would not be enough, although the interceptor fighters on the side caused considerable trouble to the rebels and shot down many rebel fighters, but the rebel attack group was still able to successfully break through the defense network of the interceptor fighters. When the rebel attack aircraft group approached the fleet, he no longer had any unrealistic expectations, except for desperately urging Rear Admiral Piper, the only hope was to rely on the coordination and cooperation of the defensive artillery fire of each warship to form a tight defensive network to block the rebel attack and hold out until the arrival of the main fleet.

But he never thought that not long after the battle began, the situation was no longer beyond his control......

The first unlucky was the fast battleship Counterattack, with strong shields and solid armor, and powerful firepower, this battleship should be the backbone of the fleet's defense, but not long after the rebel attack began, this giant ship inexplicably became the first ship to be destroyed, and the speed was completely unexpected by everyone.

The Counterattack shouldn't have been finished so quickly, she intercepted a large number of incoming quantum torpedoes in the first wave of rebel quantum torpedo attacks, and also shot down two rebel fighters, and forced other rebel fighters to give up the attack or hastily launch their torpedoes, paying the price of only one mine in their own, but the powerful shield system completely wiped out the explosive power of this torpedo, the brigadier saw it in his eyes, and his heart was a little at ease, the wave of torpedo attacks just now, the number of torpedoes was preliminarily calculated, It is estimated that less than half of the Rebel attack group's quantum torpedoes have been consumed, but his fleet has not suffered any damage at all, as long as he can survive another wave of quantum torpedo strikes and survive until the rebel attack group consumes their quantum torpedoes, his fleet will be considered safe for the time being.

The quantum torpedo is the weapon that poses the greatest threat to the ship, and the power of the torpedo warhead explosion is not comparable to the power of the synchronous particle cannon of the lightning fighter, especially for the battleship, the synchronous particle cannon of the allied lightning fighter is more than enough to deal with ordinary ships, and even against the patrol

It's barely applicable, but the attack has a strong shield and solid armor protection, and the Resistance League has not had a record of destroying Imperial battleships before, such as the T.-7 space station and attacking the sub->Some of the battles were either other peculiarities, or there were fast battleships of the Alliance to support the operation, Ryson had a clear impression of the Imperial King Kong fast battleship during the attack on the Agama base, the Alliance put in a total of three squadrons of lightning fighters to deal with the Golden Steel, and one of his subordinates, Corporal Claude, was also killed under the defensive fire of the Golden Steel, although the Golden Steel was in a catastrophe, but the attack still dragged for a long time, and was finally dragged to the fast battleships of the Seventh Fleet to arrive, and finally joined forces to destroy the Golden Steel.

Commodore Wang's fleet has three Führer-class fast battleships, which is also an important reason why he dares to take risks, his three battleships and seven cruisers are organized into a defensive formation, forming a powerful defensive firepower network, and there is still some resistance to the synchronous particle cannon attack on the rebel fighters, of course, the rebel fighters can return to the mothership to replenish the torpedoes after they run out of torpedoes and attack again, but it will take several hours to go back and forth, and he has fought a battle with the rebels before, and consumed a lot of time, The battle that was going on now is estimated to take a lot of time, and when the rebels re-attach torpedoes to their fighters, Rear Admiral Piper's main fleet will almost arrive, after all, the two fleets are not too far apart.

However, the Counterattack was finished, and several rebel fighters (piloted by these fighters were undoubtedly veterans) attacked at close range, and although the Counterattack intercepted some of the torpedoes, the battleship still hit several quantum torpedoes in succession, and those torpedoes almost all hit the approximate area, breaking through the shield defenses, blowing up the thick armor, and blowing a large hole in the hull.

But that wasn't the deadliest of all, the Counterattack's damage management crew could have sealed off the damaged area to minimize the damage, but a damn rebel fighter crashed through the hole and exploded inside the hull, blasting through the reactor compartment with a violent explosion, eventually causing a series of uncontrolled chain reactions, and within minutes, the giant ship was declared hopeless.

It is said that when the brigadier general heard the news at first glance, he almost stumbled......

The counterattack was destroyed, and the consequences were not as simple as the loss of a giant ship, even the defensive formation with the original goodness also had a loophole, and before the imperial fleet could adjust the formation and fill the gap in the defensive firepower network, who was Sonia, who replaced Risen as the commander, she found this obvious loophole at a glance, under the concentrated attack of the lightning fighter synchronous particle cannon, the cruiser Cabruce was destroyed, and the other cruiser, the Adrian, was also heavily damaged, lost control and direction, and broke away from the formation, It was only a matter of time before it was destroyed.

After the formation formation was destroyed, in order not to give the Imperial fleet a chance to regroup, the Alliance's attack did not pause slightly, this time the unlucky Prestige fast battleship, it had been hit by two quantum torpedoes before, but the shield system and solid armor protected the fast battleship, but the good luck of the Prestige ended here, in line with the principle that it is better to break one finger than to hurt its ten fingers, Sonia commanded all the lightning bolts of the Ninth and Fifth Fleets that still carried quantum torpedoes, and attacked from multiple directions, angles, small formations, and at the same time, and also accompanied by some escort lightning to attract and harass the defensive fire of the Imperial ships, under such an attack, the Prestige's defensive firepower took care of one or the other, and soon was hit eight quantum torpedoes in a row, five of which hit the front of the hull, nearly a quarter of the bow was blown away from the main hull, the explosion spread everywhere along the interior of the ship, and the burning black smoke seemed to be the battleship crying, although it was not as quick as the Counterattack to declare no help, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Prestige was hopeless......

Outside the porthole, there was another dazzling flash of white light, it was the fourth cruiser that had been destroyed, the huge explosion dazzled everyone's eyes, after the flash of strong light, the cruiser had turned into a mass of metal residue in the universe, the commodore had a miserable face, his fleet was left with only one battleship and three cruisers, two of which were damaged, and the communication was full of screams, cries for help, emergency screams, and curses.......

"Haven't the communications been back to normal?" The brigadier turned his head and asked his communications officer.

"No, General, communications are intermittently interrupted by rebel electronic jammers, and normal contact with General Piper cannot be guaranteed." The communications officer shook his head.

"There is no need to make any contact, and when the communication is temporarily improved, I will send out my brief message, saying that our fleet has been attacked by rebels, the situation is critical, and our fleet will fight to the death until the last moment, long live the Empire."

The brigadier general understands that he is at the end of the day, once the rebels finish his cruiser, the next thing will be his flagship, the fast battleship Solomon, even if the rebel fighters do not have quantum torpedoes, but in the face of a siege that may be hundreds of rebel fighters, the fate of the Solomon is already sealed.
