When the first bad news returned by Colonel Craigot reached the Wyvern, the staff officers were in an uproar, and the bridge began to be chaotic, some people were at a loss, some people did not believe it, some guessed that this was a rebel trap, some asked for information verification, and some but before the noise calmed down, the second bad news came back, and the sheer size of the rebel fleet was confirmed. On the contrary, the quarrel disappeared at once, and everyone closed their mouths, they suddenly remembered their commander at this time, according to the commander's usual behavior, it stands to reason that he should be the one who reacted the most, but their commander was still very calm, at least on the surface, which made the people on the bridge can't help but have a slight psychological support, maybe His Excellency the commander still has a way to deal with the current difficulties.

In fact, after encountering such a heavy blow, where can the major general immediately come up with a countermeasure? It was already a great effort to barely maintain his apparent composure, not to fall limply on his feet, and to collapse on the ground. From the first communication received from the colonel, the major general only felt a pang of dizziness in front of his eyes, and he was finished, he had made such a big mistake, a fatal error of judgment.

In despair, he wondered what was wrong with his judgment, and it would not be wrong for the rebels to have a total of six space carriers, not so long ago, the enemy had only four, and two of them had only been completed and commissioned in the last few weeks, which was not magic. It is impossible for the rebels to conjure up a ship.

There is a space carrier in the fifth** mobile fleet that he was chasing before, and that is certain, Colonel Craigot's report should not be wrong, and part of the fleet left behind by Admiral Callahan is attacking a rebel space carrier, and there are already six of them, and there is a space carrier that was heavily damaged by Admiral Cassin before

Wait, that so-called battered space carrier? It is the only rebel space carrier that has not appeared in the Emperor's eyes and has not been confirmed its current location, and it is only speculation that it is undergoing an overhaul and cannot be dispatched. Maybe. Its damage is not as severe as it seems. The rear admiral smiled bitterly in his heart and shook his head, he somewhat understood, maybe the friendly forces were attacking the ground, and that space carrier was the one they once thought it was

"Ordered the fleet to turn around and head for 9-7-1, and the order is now not to move any further. The further forward he got to the main fleet of the rebels, the more dangerous it became, and the action he should take was to retreat temporarily to avoid the edge of the rebel fleet, but he also knew that the pursuit of the rebel fleet was definitely faster than the retreat of his fleet, and it was difficult for him to escape the hands of the enemy in the face of possible front and rear attacks.

If you can't escape, you can only hide. The fleet's course was directed at a large area of interstellar clouds. The previous pursuit and search operations had given him a good understanding of the field, and though he knew that such temporary measures might not be of much use, the rebels were just as familiar with the field. The Rear Admiral believed that if his fleet was lost, they should be able to find the interstellar cloud soon.

But it's better than doing nothing, although the end result may be the same.

"Report the situation of the rebel fleet we are facing, Admiral, we urgently need reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for the fleet to survive, 100,000 urgent."

"Order all the remaining patrol and alert planes to be dispatched, shoot down or drive away all the nearby rebel reconnaissance planes, and cover the fleet," the rear admiral continued with a gloomy face, ordering that this might delay the rebels from finding another place and buy the fleet some time.

"Sir, what about our attack planes? Do you want to recall them? ”

"Don't let them go on the offensive. After hesitating for a moment, the rear admiral also rejected this rather tempting suggestion, he advocated a proactive offensive spirit, although the rebels were powerful, but there were no less than four waves of attack aircraft in his two waves, and it was not impossible for the two waves of attack aircraft to break through the interception network of the rebel starfighters under the command of Keyhole, maybe it would be lucky enough to inflict a heavy blow on the rebel fleet, and from another point of view, the attack was the best defense, the more fierce the attack, the more it could contain the rebels, so that they had no time to take care of his fleet for the time being, and the number of rebel fighters reported by Colonel Craigett showed the weight of the enemy army** In order to defend against his attack, then it will be impossible for them to withdraw from the attack on his fleet until they repel his attack, which can be delayed for a while.

In addition, the morale of the fleet should not be taken lightly, and the pilots were repeatedly told of the importance of this battle before the sortie, but before they were about to engage the enemy, they suddenly told the pilots that we would not fight and we would retreat, because the enemy was too strong, and what kind of impact and blow would that have on morale?

This battle was absolutely necessary, his men cooperated for a long time, and he had a lot of experience, and there were two motherships in the rebel army, both of which were newly commissioned and the rear admiral was soon decided

Continue this offensive one at a time.

The aircraft groups of the two sides encountered lightning fighters in a star field about 22 in front of the alliance fleet, scattering in all directions, and the imperial fighters that attacked forward from all directions in the front hemisphere rushed one after another, and the image recognition missiles swept between the fighters of both sides, and this star field was completely filled with yellow representative missile light ** and fighter planes, missile ion tail flames, followed by orange flames in the sky, and the flashes of explosion of those unfortunate fighters gathered together, and actually reflected this originally dark star field as bright as day.

After two rounds of missile attacks, the surviving fighters on both sides entered a close-range melee, in the face of dense and chaotic fighting scenes, dense red and green light** groups completely filled the fighter sensor, the role of the sensor on the screen has been greatly weakened, because the pilot has no way to distinguish at all, and has no time to carefully distinguish, and then lower his head and spend a long time on the sensor, which can only find death, at this time the most effective thing is their eyes, which is their best sensor, at this time, it can really test the pilots' skills, reaction, Vigilance, cooperation, and luck, especially the latter two, which are indispensable luck for large aircraft group operations, not to mention for the time being, although the alliance has a large number of fighters, but their cooperation is not as good as the empire, especially the pilots of the Ninth Fleet and the Fourth Fleet, they are caught in this unprecedented war, and they are a little uncomfortable for a while, plus the importance of the alliance. It was the Empire's Gladiator attack aircraft, so although they had the advantage in air combat, it was not too obvious, after all, the number of interceptors in the first wave was about the same as in the first wave of the Imperial attack aircraft, and after paying a considerable price, the first wave of the Empire's attack aircraft group finally broke through the volley of the first wave of the Alliance.

But there was a second wave behind the first wave of Allies, and the first wave ignored the Imperial attack group that had broken through their defenses, and they handed over the fish to their companions, and they themselves rushed towards the larger second wave of the Empire under the command of Keyeye.

The first wave of the Empire's attack planes had not yet had time to catch its breath, and another round of missile attacks struck. Several Coalition second-wave interceptor group lightning starfighters launched another round of attacks on the already sparsely beaten Imperial fighters, a veteran pilot of the Alliance, Captain Bruce, squadron leader of the Black Wolf squadron of the USS Assault space carrier, reported that the Imperial planes were like "firecrackers" in front of the fleet, crackling and exploding, and this squadron leader moved quickly (if you move slowly, you can only eat meat for others, after all, there are more monks and less porridge) Under the cover of his wingman, he immediately bit a short sword, and his attack caused the left wing of the short sword to be knocked out, and the imperial pilot immediately ejected to escape, and after shooting down this short sword, he adjusted a little and then targeted a banshee, which was finally turned on by him directly, and in this moment of battle, he shot down two enemy planes, and he shot down five imperial starfighters in this large-scale air battle, and before the end of the war, his final record reached twenty-seven.

Despite the heavy losses, there were still more than seventy Imperial starfighters under the command of the Imperial Keyhole to find some weak points** Before they were shot down or retreated, the enemy planes attacked Admiral Martin's Seventh Fleet and Admiral Alfred's Ninth Fleet, respectively, at the front of the fleet, and the Seventh Fleet, one cruiser was heavily damaged, and two cruisers were slightly damaged by Imperial starfighters to ship guns, and the Raider space carrier was hit by a suicide ram by an Imperial Stiletto-style attack aircraft in the middle of the hull, and the battleship Liberty was also hit by two quantum torpedoes, but fortunately, both ships were not much harmed, and the thick shields barely blocked the attack, while the weaker Ninth Fleet was not so lucky, and the two destroyers were sunk by the spacecarrier Sweeper, and the two quantum torpedoes were frightenedPeople jumped, fortunately, because the mine parts were scattered, it did not have much impact on the mothership with thick skin and thick flesh, but the strength of the shield was seriously weakened, which directly led to the penetration of the shield in the subsequent attack on the ship's machine guns, and a take-off channel in front of the ship was also destroyed, which had a certain impact on the operation.

While achieving such a negligible result, the first wave of Imperial attack aircraft eventually lost 137 aircraft, and even the commander of the attack group, Colonel Craigot, failed to return to the Wyvern, although he broke through the interception of two waves of Alliance fighters, but while covering a shortsword attack aircraft attacking the Assault space carrier, he was shot down by a pursuing Alliance fighter and the Raider's self-defense fire, and he himself became a prisoner of the Resistance Alliance.
