Chapter 61: Surprise Attack on Supply Base
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass ww_angle by the book friends.
Ouyang Yu has been in the Heavenly Star for more than two months, and during this time, the intelligence agencies of the Hod Empire have been vigorously looking for her traces, and even the Heavenly Star has also appeared intelligence officers, but Ouyang Yu is hiding very well and has not been discovered.
The search of the Hod Empire is mainly concentrated in the west where Ouyang Yu often appears, which Ouyang Yu asked Tia to get from the mouth of the intelligence officer, so Ouyang Yu plans to temporarily leave the western region and go to the north of the Hod Empire, where the fleet of the Hod Empire is at war with the fleet of a powerful biological civilization, from the news Ouyang Yu learned that half of the fleet of the Hod Empire is gathered in the north, and the various materials needed every day are like astronomical amounts, and there are countless supply bases of all sizes, and the target of Ouyang Yu going north this time is those supply bases, destroying them, and destroying the supply lines of the Hod peopleShe was happy to do anything that could cause trouble for the Hodders.
The battle between Tong GuΓ² and the 74th Fleet Ouyang Yu had a certain confidence in a small-scale frontal battle, the clumsy battleship could only be used as a live target in front of the nimble banshee fighter in front of the interference of the Minovsky particles, as long as the enemy that needed to be dealt with at one time did not exceed two regular fleets, Ouyang Yu was confident that he could completely destroy the other party within a few hours.
"Huh...... Buzz ......!"
The Undead Avengers sailed out of the space jump window to a star system of a binary star system, a galaxy with two stars revolving around each other, a large and a small star, and the powerful gravitational tides tore several planets in the inner star system into countless pieces, forming a continuous belt of rubble, and only a few planets in the outer star system far from the two stars were spared. Alone in its own orbit, the Undead Avenger appeared right in the gravel belt. The countless dense asteroids and ice blocks here are the best cover.
In the bridge of the Undead Avenger, Ouyang Yu pointed to the star map in front of him and said: "Here, here, and here are the three largest supply bases in the Northern Military Region. Guarded by three regular fleets, let's talk about whether we should strike head-on or conduct a special operation?"
"I think there should be a frontal raid, and it's easy for us to destroy a base with only one fleet. β
"No, special warfare should be carried out, and our current limited forces must avoid being consumed in unnecessary places to the greatest extent possible and give full play to our strengths. β
"I think ....... β
"I think it's ....... β
All the people in the bridge expressed their opinions and argued fiercely.
"Antti, what do you think?"
"My opinion is a frontal raid, after all, we only have one face-to-face combat experience with the Hodders, and the actual combat experience is too little, we should fight a few more times to increase our combat experience. β
"Really?" Ouyang Yu said after thinking about it for a while with his chin on his legs, "In that case, let's fight head-on." β
Cui Cowen's large supply base. It's a busy base, with thousands of transport ships laden with war materiel every day, and thousands of transport ships taking all kinds of war materiel to the battle lines, and the soldiers in the base are busy unloading or loading supplies for the many transport ships that pass by.
Sergeant Lev is leading his own loading and unloading squad to work hard, after he joined the army from a different nationality, in addition to the marines, pilots and other dangerous arms, he can only do the hard work of transporting, and the salary is lower than that of the marines and pilots, although it is very tiring but it is better to be safe and do not have to go to the front line, and every month's salary is all sent home by himself. His parents are only in their forties, relatively young and still able to work, plus the salary he sent back, the living conditions of the family are much better than those around them, and when he came home from visiting relatives last month, the family told him a family matter. The girl is very cute and gentle, and she is very liked by her parents, and she gets along with his sister. It was decided to marry when he took home leave again in three months' time.
Thinking of his fiancΓ©e, Lev couldn't help but take out a photo of her, and the girl in the photo was like a beautiful flower in full bloom. Gently stroking the photo, Lev thought to himself, "Linda, wait for me to marry you when I go back." β
"Hey...... Head. You took out your sister-in-law's picture again, and you were scolded by Lieutenant Joyce when she saw it!"
"Hahaha......!" ΓN.
Lev's soldiers laughed, Lev is a good person and is loved by his soldiers, and usually likes to joke with him, Lev will always laugh and scold with the soldiers, and everyone will be happy after intense work to relieve some tired mood.
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......!"
"What's going on? Could it be that those damn bugs broke through the line and hit here?" Lev was shocked, and hurriedly dropped his work and beckoned his soldiers to run to a place where they could take refuge, they were just logisticians who didn't need to fight, and the military regulations allowed logisticians to retreat during battle.
"The Minovsky particles spread to the combat concentration, and the banshee fighters immediately attacked, and the fleet slowly advanced after them!"
Ouyang Yu's undead fleet launched a surprise attack at a very close distance, tens of thousands of banshee fighters of various types broke out from all directions, and the fifty-fifth fleet of the base was caught off guard, especially several air carriers in the fleet were destroyed and destroyed at the first time, and only a few hundred carrier-based aircraft on it successfully took off urgently, and then they were overwhelmed by the banshee fighters.
This time, Ouyang Yu sent the fleet in addition to using the Banshee fighters, intending to test the effect of the fleet's lightning strike battle, after obtaining the last batch of gold from the hapless Kerry King, Ouyang Yu greatly expanded the number of Salamis-class destroyers and Drake-class frigates, and now she has more than 370 Salamis-class destroyers, nearly 800 Drake-class frigates, and 12 lightning strike teams with the fantasy-class cruisers, and now the more than 1,000 undead battleships are divided into two from the left and right directions, and slowly approach the defense line of the 55th fleet in a figure-of-eight shape.
"Where did this enemy come from?!"
Vice Admiral Douglas, the Admiral of the 55th Fleet, roared so loudly that it could be heard outside the bridge. He really couldn't understand why such a large enemy fleet that did not belong to the empire appeared in the rear of the Northern Military District.
"Have you made contact with the military headquarters?" asked Lieutenant General Douglas to the communications officer.
The communications officer shook his head profusely and replied, "I can't get in touch, all the communication channels have been disrupted." Not to mention the ultra-long-range communication between the stars, it is difficult to contact even the communication between warships and warships even closely. β
"Quick. Send someone on the fastest warship to find the nearest fleet rescue right away!"
"Yes!"
Soon a destroyer broke away from the array of the 55th Fleet and headed for Stargate.
When the destroyer approached the stargate, a huge beam of light enveloped the destroyer along with the stargate.
"Boom......!"
The stargate and dozens of nearby warships were all vaporized by the beam, and without the stargate, the 55th fleet lost the last means of calling for help, so it could only fight alone, and then wait to be annihilated.
"The God Slayer main cannon is fired at full power, and the cooldown begins. Lulu, whose eyes kept flashing, reported to Ouyang Yu expressionlessly, once Lulu put most of the calculations into combat command or other places, her personality and emotional system would be temporarily shut down, and her speech would be as cold as a real machine.
"Very good, as soon as the cooldown is complete, recharge and prepare for the second shot. β
"Understood. β
After Ouyang Yu gave the order, she immediately entered a state of high mental concentration, and a situation map of the battle between the enemy and the enemy appeared in her brain. Under the control of her mind, the undead warships were like arms, and they acted accurately according to her orders.
Twelve lightning strike teams have been put in place, one left and one right in a figure-of-eight shape to encircle the 55th Fleet, the 55th Fleet's more than 200 warships, under the attack of more than 10,000 Banshee fighters, put on a relatively dense air defense formation to support it, without fighter support, the fire control system is almost ineffective, the officers and men of the 55th Fleet fought very hard, every minute there are battleships destroyed under the siege of Banshee fighters. Vice Admiral Douglas was exhausted just by directing the fleet to fend off the attack of the Banshee fighters.
"The enemy fleet is approaching!" CIC Tong GuΓ² optical equipment detected that the undead fleet was approaching.
"Don't panic, order all the battleships not to change formations and shell the enemy fleet like this!" Conducting artillery battles, Vice Admiral Douglas has not been afraid of anyone, this is also what all the Admirals of the Hod Imperial Fleet are best at, and the approach of the undead fleet just gave him a place to vent when he was hit by the Banshee Fighter and had no place to vent.
Because it was an air defense formation, the periphery of the 55th Fleet was full of small and medium-sized warships. The large ships that are the core are protected in the middle, so that the range of those large ships is very problematic, either too small or blocked by friendly ships. Vice Admiral Douglas did not dare to order the small and medium-sized warships to give way to the firing boundary, because once they got out of the way, the Banshee fighters could follow the firing range to the core and launch a fierce attack on the large warships. Without large warships, the 55th Fleet will lose even faster.
The undead fleet and the small and medium-sized warships on the periphery of the 55th Fleet opened fire almost simultaneously, compared to the dense and more accurate undead fleet. The shooting of small and medium-sized warships of the 55th Fleet, which needs to take into account anti-aircraft shooting, is not so good-looking, not to mention sparse, the hit rate is even more miserable, and most of the beams or shells are too far from the target they are aiming at.
The beams and missiles fired by the undead fleet hit five percent of the maximum effective range, and the shots of more than 1,000 warships destroyed more than 20 battleships in the outermost part of the 55th Fleet on the spot, while only a few of them were hit, all of which were neutralized by magical shields.
As the distance approached, most of the Salamis-class destroyers and Drake-class frigates entered the effective range of torpedoes, and Ouyang Yu ordered the lightning strike team that had already entered the range to carry out cross-torpedo attacks based on the experience of opening torpedo attacks when playing North in "Sea Battle II" in his previous life (laughs).
A Salamis-class destroyer can fire eight torpedoes at a time, a Drake-class frigate can fire six torpedoes at a time, and while the Utopian-class cruisers do not have torpedoes, the main guns in the bow are more formidable than torpedoes.
More than 8,000 hard-to-find torpedoes were fired in a fan-shaped manner from the left and right directions, and at the same time, the main guns of more than 100 frivolous-class cruisers also took away more than 50 battleships of the 55th Fleet. These ships will attack again after the torpedo has been reloaded.
"The enemy fleet retreats!"
"Be careful, all warships continue to put all their energy into air defense!"
After Vice Admiral Douglas gave the order, he was puzzled by the actions of the undead fleet. There must be something famous in this that runs away after a shot, and the more he thinks about it, the more wrong he becomes, the more he immediately asks the CIC to investigate the area of engagement.
"There are no anomalies. There's no anomaly, huh? What is this?"
Vice Admiral Douglas's order was not only carried out by the CIC personnel of the flagship, but also by the CIC personnel of all the battleships, and they investigated the combat area just now from different angles and directions, and finally let a CIC personnel discover something, this CIC personnel adjusted the magnification of the optical equipment to the maximum, and finally saw the object in the picture clearly.
"Fish...... Fish...... Torpedo...... Lots of torpedoes!"
The dense torpedoes in the picture had approached the 55th Fleet, and Vice Admiral Douglas, who received the report, immediately ordered all the battleships to evade.
Vice Admiral Douglas's order was greatly delayed due to the interference of the Minovsky particles, and by the time the order was transmitted to the outermost battleship, the torpedoes fired by the undead fleet had already crashed into the battleship.
A large number of torpedoes with wide coverage achieved quite good results. Unlike the light aviation torpedoes fired by the Banshee fighters, the battleships fired heavy torpedoes with a large charge, and a single torpedo could destroy a battleship below a light cruiser, even a heavily armored heavy cruiser or battleship with three or four torpedoes.
In order to avoid the dense torpedoes, the original strict air defense formation of the 55th Fleet was suddenly in chaos, and some warships even collided with each other in a panic in order to avoid torpedoes.
"Boom......!"
Lieutenant General Douglas's flagship had just been hit by an aviation torpedo fired by a Banshee fighter. The stronger shock made the military hat on his head fly out, his flagship was thick and thick-skinned light aviation torpedoes, and it was not a big problem for him to be hit by one or two light aviation torpedoes, and he felt disheartened when he looked at the red signs that kept appearing on his side on the map of the enemy's situation, and thousands of Banshee fighters had broken through to the core. No matter how thick the armor of the dozens of large warships under his command is, they can't stop the torpedoes and missiles fired by the Banshee fighters, and the small and medium-sized warships on the periphery can only fight on their own after losing their formation. It's like a big stupid elephant, swallowed up by a banshee fighter that looks like a pack of wolves. He has no chance of turning the tables around, no. It should be said that from the beginning he was already doomed to the current end.
"Your Excellency, the enemy has sent a text message demanding our surrender. β
Lieutenant General Douglas operated on his terminal, and the surrender order sent by Ouyang Yu appeared in front of him.
Lieutenant General Douglas struggled inside, he wanted to surrender, because it was the instinctive desire of living creatures to survive, but he did not dare to surrender, King Hod was notoriously cold and ruthless to the vanquished, and if he dared to surrender, it would definitely affect his family.
"What to do?
Lieutenant General Douglas's hesitation was written on his face.
People will be afraid of death, even if it is the well-trained Hodder soldiers, it is no longer necessary to fight until the current level, and the enemy is also a human being, and they are not those insects who can't communicate and can only kill, so after Ouyang Yu issued a surrender order on all channels, many officers and soldiers of the 55th Fleet had the idea of surrendering and asking for their lives.
"Lord Admiral. Lieutenant General Douglas's adjutant saw all the expressions of his superiors and understood his concerns, and his eyes turned to an idea, and then whispered in Lieutenant General Douglas's ear: "Sir, you are injured. β
Lieutenant General Douglas glared at his adjutant and reprimanded: "What nonsense, I'm hurt by something." β
"Your Excellency, you are really injured and have fainted. The adjutant whispered in Lieutenant General Douglas's ear despite the reprimand.
"Huh, fainted?"
Vice Admiral Douglas understood what the adjutant meant, if he was injured and fainted, the command would naturally transfer to the chief of staff of the fleet, and it was none of his business whether to continue the fight or surrender at that time.
Vice Admiral Douglas gave the adjutant an appreciative look, and the two laughed tacitly, and a few minutes later a message was sent to the battleship where the Chief of Staff of the 55th Fleet was, and the message read: Vice Admiral Douglas of the fleet was hit by debris in the brain during the battle, and he had fainted from bleeding from the head, and now the Admiral is in the infirmary for rescue, and the fleet is under the command of His Excellency the Chief of Staff before the Admiral wakes up.
The chief of staff did not speak for a long time after seeing this news, because he knew very well that the life and death of the entire fleet were now in his own hands, but he did not suspect that Vice Admiral Douglas was deliberately putting the blame on himself.
After thinking about it for a long time, the chief of staff reluctantly gave the order to surrender so that his young men would no longer die in vain, and then returned to his cabin, put on a gorgeous military uniform, took all his medals, lay on the bed, took out his matching gun, aimed it at his temple and pulled the trigger.
