"Hey, two, watch your rear, there are two enemy planes at four o'clock......"

"I can't get rid of it!"

"Insist, Two, I'll cover your ......"

"Look, that battleship, that's the Kokang, it's almost finished, who still has a quantum torpedo, give it another time."

"I'm number nine, I still have two, let me come, cover me."

"Let's follow you, disperse the defensive fire of the enemy ships, let's ......"

"A direct hit, the bridge was blown up, and it was finished......"

"It's too close, pull it up, don't crash with it......"

The fierce communication battle situation from afar really made the pilots of the Ninth Air Force who were in charge of guarding and escorting the rear itching, the first wave of attack aircraft composed of the Federation's Tomcats and Dreadnoughts had already caught fire with the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Super Banshee starfighters sent to intercept the first wave of attack aircraft had suffered a lot of losses due to the fact that they had fought hard with the Alliance's lightning in the previous attack, and they had suffered a lot of losses, so the number was not enough, and under the interference of the Tomcats who came out, they could not effectively intercept the Federation's attack aircraft group, These dreadnought attack planes, which broke through the interception, first met the escort fleets deployed in front of the Imperial battle base.

Although they had been prepared and formed a defensive formation in advance, the fierce defensive artillery fire seemed to completely cover every inch of the fleet's perimeter, as if no matter how many interstellar fighters there were, they were like moths to a fire, unable to escape the web of death woven by energy beams, but just as the alliance fleet could not block the attack of the imperial attack aircraft group, after breaking through the interception and joining the attack of the dreadnought reached a certain number, the defensive firepower network of the imperial fleet could not stop the attack of the federal attack aircraft.

For this kind of fleet, which is lined up in a neat defensive formation and relies on strict self-defense defense and firepower. The Federation is more experienced in dealing with it than the Alliance, and it has more ways to deal with it, after all, they have fought more and more tragic battles than the Alliance, and they are also more systematic and regular, facing the defensive firepower of the enemy fleet that seems to be leakless. It would not be advisable to directly attack the Imperial Space Carrier, which is located at the core of the fleet and is the most heavily protected. The losses were large, the results were small, however, the Federation Army was not in a hurry, they did not hurry, and soon found several support points as a circle of fire for the fleet's defense - those Imperial Führer-class battleships.

Defeating these most powerful and ferocious ships was more than a serious weakening of the Empire's defensive firepower. It also means that in a certain direction, there will be a firepower hole in the Empire's originally well-established defensive firepower circle, and before the Imperial fleet readjusts and fills this hole, it will become a safe passage deep into the Imperial fleet's defensive circle and directly attack those Imperial space carriers.

Of course, these fast battleships were also protected by other medium or light ships, so the first wave of direct strikes fell on these light ships, under the coordinated strike of a large number of attack aircraft from several directions. These ships have been hit by a devastating "sex", an accurate hit quantum torpedo can directly destroy or damage a destroyer, even if it is a cruiser, its shield is simply not enough to block the powerful explosion power of the quantum torpedo, once two hits at the same time, even if it is not blown up on the spot, but basically the fate of this cruiser is doomed, unless it is particularly lucky. For example, the quantum torpedo that hit did not explode, etc.

But that luck didn't happen, at least not at this point, so the Imperial light ships could only be reduced to useless metal wreckage in one blooming fireball after another. And after the loss of these light ships. The Imperial Fleet's defensive firepower support point in this area, the Imperial Führer-class fast battleship Kokang, was directly exposed in front of a large number of Federation dreadnought attack aircraft.......

Don't describe too much. If the defensive fire of one battleship could easily stop or interfere with the attack of ten dreadnought attack aircraft, what about twenty? Thirty? Fifty, or even one? Although the battleship Kokang was rough and rough-skinned, it was not invincible after all, and after hitting six to eight quantum torpedoes in a row, the big ship was already hanging by a thread, and finally the ninth was smashed by a federal dreadnought attack aircraft, after smashing a quantum torpedo directly on the bridge of the Kokang, and completed the final blow.

The Federation's attack aircraft group also suffered a lot of losses, in addition to the ones that were directly shot down, many attack aircraft had more or less damage, and after hastily consuming the light quantum torpedoes, they could only turn around and return to the direction of the fleet, they were lucky, they didn't have to worry about being pursued by those Super Banshee starfighters of the Empire, the Tomcat escort fighters of the first attack wave and the large number of lightning planes of the second attack wave that were about to arrive, which had already kept these super banshees busy, how could they have time to take care of these attack planes that had turned around and left?

The attack channel was opened, but the coalition forces did not directly attack the space carrier located in the innermost defensive circle, as the Empire had imagined......

"The Goshawk was destroyed......"

"The fire on the Turst is out of control, and the order to abandon the ship has been issued......"

"The Kokang, it's the Kokang, oh my goodness, it blew up ......"

"11th Fleet, received news from us? Please respond quickly, this is the Omega base, we need your support, 100,000 urgent......"

On one side is the constant report on the status of the ships that are destroyed or damaged, and on the other side, the communications officer is calling in vain the 11th Fleet, now it is the closest Imperial fleet to the battlefield, the Corcoran Garrison Fleet is completely finished under the attack of superior Federation interstellar fighters, the space carrier Newport has been blown into three sections, and the entire fleet has survived only four crippled destroyers that have announced their surrender, and there is no hope at all, according to the current progress of the battle, it can be counted on, and it can be reached to the battlefield before the end of the battle, There was only the 11th Fleet.

If they can arrive in time, they can delay the execution for a while, although I don't know how long it can be delayed, whether it can be delayed until the arrival of other imperial reinforcement fleets, but it is still a hope.

Unfortunately, apart from the initial order, the 11th Fleet has not been able to contact since then, and all communications have been like mud and cattle, and the Imperial Battle Base does not know if they have received the message, nor where they are now, or even if they are coming at full speed......

Imperial Marshal Steve seemed to be calm on the surface, patiently watching the progress of the battle, but as the war continued to develop, the unfavorable news increased, and the sense of despair in his heart grew stronger.

This sense of desperation came from two sides, one was the damned 11th Fleet, and the Imperial Marshal had gone from hope, to speculation, to suspicion, and finally to almost certain that they would not come, at least not so quickly.

Despite the interference of the Alliance's electronic storm jammers, the important location of the Corcoran galaxy has allowed the empire to build a relatively complete communication network in this galaxy long ago, so even if the interference is strong, at most a moment of interference, there will definitely be no contact at all times, and the order issued by the combat base to rush to Corcoran as soon as possible was not received by the 11th fleet? Now, the communications officer had confirmed that the contact with the Imperial forces elsewhere was normal, that is, there was no way to contact the 11th Fleet, although the communications officer did not say anything, but from his skeptical eyes and uncertain conclusions, the Imperial Marshal understood what he suspected, but he was suspicious, and the Marshal had been in contact with this fleet's tradition of being traitors, coupled with the many grievances and rumors and rumors that had arisen from within it, he was basically sure that something might have gone wrong.

Unfortunately, this unreachable fleet was their last straw.

"Bilis, bastard," the Imperial Marshal gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, "I would have disbanded that damn fleet ahead of time and sent that old thing into the coffin sooner rather than later." ”

The Marshal of the Empire's sense of despair also comes from despair about the future of the Empire, despair about the future of the Steve family.

He knows very well that the concentration here, including the escort fleet, is the last mobile force of the Empire, this battle is fought, if it is lost, think about the losses of the Empire - the Imperial forces of the Lanfei system, the resident fleet of Corcoran, the huge Omega base, the escort fleet including seven space carriers, and the 11th fleet, which is already unreliable, including hundreds of warships and nearly 3,000 interstellar fighters, is almost a slightly smaller Big Horn Seven Star Domain fiasco, And the military strength of the Imperial Army is already inferior to the combination of the growing rebel alliance and the long-dormant Federation Army, coupled with this heavy loss, it is simply worse, not to mention the offensive, and even the defensive operation has basically become a luxury and impossible task.

Relying on conventional military strength to block the attack of the huge coalition forces, as long as you are not an idiot know that it is impossible, the existing imperial fleet will definitely not be able to complete this task, a few years ago, the desperate concentration of major resources on the construction of the Omega battle base, resulting in the slowdown in the construction of new ships and starfighters, coupled with heavy losses in the battle with the rebel alliance, has led to a serious shortage of fleets and starfighters, and now the empire has finally suffered the bitter fruit.

It is possible to rebuild an Omega base, but Rome was not built in a day, and consider how long it took them to build this base before? The huge battle base needs to be rebuilt, even if it is rushed day and night, it will take a year or two to say the least, time waits for no one, the rebel alliance and the Earth Federation Army will never give them this time, I am afraid that less than half of the construction will be completed, and the enemy fleet will already appear in the orbit of the New London galaxy.

The Imperial Marshal closed his eyes in pain, and now, he was already in a panic, and he couldn't think of a better charter...
