XIII. The Battle of Xuanwu (4)
XIII. The Battle of Xuanwu (2)
"The race of the enemy is unknown, and the language used is a very peculiar hieroglyph, which is currently being deciphered by our army, and I believe that it will soon be able to decipher this script. From these phenomena, it can be seen that the enemy army is a very peculiar race, and it should be the same race as the suspect race that our army encountered from the Wing Girl. β
"We don't know the specific level of civilization of the enemy, but judging from the enemy's warships and the energy systems and weapon systems used, the height of their civilization has not reached the height of our Tianhu Empire, and their warships are a kind of warship mode that we have never encountered, but the main gun has the shadow of the main gun of our Tianhu Empire, therefore, we suspect that the enemy should have obtained some of the information of our army from the Wing Girl, and the interpretation was completed, and it was applied to their own racial technology. From this point of view, the level of civilization of the enemy army should be several levels lower than ours. It should still be in a relatively low-level state. However, the enemy's warships have completely different defense systems than ours, so we suspect that the enemy may belong to a special race like the Winged Women, and their abilities are similar to those of the Winged Women. More specific cases are subject to further investigation. β
"The defense of the enemy's warships is very strong, close to the defense of the universe-class warships, therefore, it is more difficult for our army to sink the opponent's warships, and at the same time, their firepower is not weak, and the warships of our army at the star sector level and below have no survivability on the battlefield at all, therefore, I suggest that we should respond to the superiors and strive to transfer more Starship-class warships to supplement our army, otherwise, our army will not be able to completely defeat the enemy army. β
"We don't know the number of enemy forces at present, but conservative estimates, the number of enemy troops should not be less than 300,000 troops (the method of calculating the strength of the Heavenly Tiger Army is one battleship), which is enough to compete with the strength of a group army of our army, and our army has no way to destroy the enemy army except for large-scale investment of troops, so in order to reduce losses, I suggest that our army's search fleet should increase its strength, and invest more troops in the search fleet, hoping to find the enemy's home planet as soon as possible and eliminate this potential enemyγ β
............
After receiving the post-war summary report submitted by Flying Tiger Zhiyong, General Tiger Fury handed the report to his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Bigutxiong, and said: "Look at Bigu, we have really encountered a powerful enemy. "With 300,000 troops, and it is still the strength of the Stargalaxy-class battleship, this race is indeed a very powerful race, if as analyzed by General Flying Tiger Zhiyong, they also have a strong individual combat ability like the Winged Girl Clan, then this opponent is really very difficult to provoke. Bigutchon said after reading the report.
The tiger furiously said: "All the information of the enemy army is not yet clear, our army cannot fight them on a large scale for the time being, the enemy is now flowing like a mouse, we can't hit the position of their home planet, and we can't force them to fight us head-on, it's very troublesome." β
"Your Excellency, I think we should call for help from the headquarters, for we may not be able to destroy the enemy with our own forces. "No, we can still complete the mission on our own, we don't need to ask for support to deal with such a small enemy, everything will have to wait until we find the enemy's lair, if the enemy army is really that strong, they should not just give up this huge planet and escape." "Yes, if the Yanhuang Clan is really strong, they won't give up the New Earth Star.
Bigutxiong asked: "Flying Tiger Zhiyong estimates that the opponent's strength is 300,000, what do you think of this?" "It may be more than 300,000, I think this number should be doubled, it should be able to reach the number of 600,000, and their strength is definitely not weak." "Although the Tiger Fury is more than brave and not wise enough, but he has a lot of experience on the battlefield, and if he is really a big fool, he will not be able to live until now. Bigutchon accepted the inference of the tiger's fury, and inferred from the common sense of war that the enemy army had lost 180,000 troops at one time, and it was impossible for him not to leave a little reserve, so it was estimated that the number of reserves should reach 120,000 or more. Similarly, as the home planet of the lair, it is impossible for the enemy army to defend without leaving all forces, so the number of troops defending the home planet should be more than the number of troops going into battle, so the number of 600,000 troops should be a more reasonable number. Of course, they didn't know about the Yanhuang Clan, let alone Sun Tiejian, so they seriously overestimated the strength of the Yanhuang Clan.
"Your Excellency, then you mean ....... "Send fifty percent of our troops to join the search team, find out the location of the enemy's lair as soon as possible, and I will destroy them in one fell swoop." "Yes, I will go and convey your orders at once. β
With the order of the fierce tiger's fury, countless Heavenly Tiger warships began to march towards the south, and they wanted to do their best to find out the location of the Yanhuang Clan, and they wanted to annihilate the Yanhuang Clan in one fell swoop.
The Heavenly Tiger Army is an army that has come from the war, since they understand the strength of the enemy, they will naturally not be the same as before, just send a hundred or dozens of warships to form a search fleet, this time the operation has been readjusted, the number of each search fleet has reached more than 10,000 ships, heading towards the infinite sea of stars, and the Fifth Front Army has lost fifty percent of its strength, and countless search fleets have vowed to search every corner, and must find out those little mice.
In the face of the crazy search of the Tianhu Army, Sun Tiejian could not command the troops to maneuver non-stop, mobilize the troops to find the right opportunity to eliminate the enemy search fleet, and try to slow down the enemy's search speed, but, in the face of the strong pressure of the enemy, although Sun Tiejian had done his best, he still couldn't hold on for long, so he could only retreat step by step, and at the same time, notify Yang Tiehui in the rear, let them speed up the construction of the fortress as much as possible, otherwise, it may be attacked by the Tianhu Army before the fortress is builtγ
Time passes day by day, the passage of time is a torment for both sides, for the Yanhuang clan and the coalition army, this is simply like a year, every day almost has to be spent in battle, every day is calculating when the fortress will be done, the brigade commanders are carefully commanding their subordinates, not only to fight the enemy, but not to lose their own troops, Sun Tiejian has a strict order: "Fighting is fighting, our troops are very precious, you can't die a single person." "It is absolutely not easy to fight such a battle with a halter, which makes all the brigade commanders feel aggrieved, but what can be done? The officers crushed people to death, and the commander-in-chief gave orders, and they had to carry them out.
Relatively, the life of the Tianhu Army is not easy, the small-scale search fleet keeps having accidents, and now, the scale of the search fleet is getting bigger and bigger, from the original 10,000 ships to the current dispatch of a whole fleet as a search force, and there are casualties from time to time, these casualties add up to a very large number, now, there are already many soldiers who have written suicide notes before setting off to search, the impact on morale is very large, but they just can't come up with a solution.
Of course, the top brass of the Heavenly Tiger Army all understand that the enemy army is so crazy to attack their search fleet, proving that they have searched the edge of the enemy's home planet, and will soon be able to find the location of the enemy's home planet, as long as they find out the location of the opponent's home planet, they will definitely be able to force the enemy to fight head-on, and at that time, with the strength of the Heavenly Tiger Army, they will be able to smash the enemy army like eggs with absolute superiority, which they are convinced. After all, over the years, the Heavenly Tiger Army has crisscrossed the Heavenly Tiger River System (i.e., the Yanhe River System), eliminated countless races, defeated countless enemies, and never been defeated, which is the source of their self-confidence.
Historically, the Heavenly Tiger Army has also encountered many powerful enemies, and there is an empire that is not much worse than the Heavenly Tiger Empire, but after thousands of years of hard fighting, the Heavenly Tiger Empire still wiped out the other party, and the victory of countless conquests proves the strength of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, and the advance of the empire is not blocked by any race, which is also deeply believed by all the Heavenly Tiger people.
Of course, trust is trust, but such a search mission is indeed very frustrating, and there is a cunning enemy attacking from time to time, and a group of his companions dying from time to time, and this additional life is indeed not a human life, but what can be done? Only by searching harder and finding out the enemy's lair sooner will this kind of day become a thing of the past.
On July 24, the year 132 of the cosmic calendar, the Xuanwu fortress group was finally completed, all the people of the Academy of Sciences were tired and half dead, and the army that participated in the construction also breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally completed, they finally had a foothold, and they would no longer let the enemy chase them around like a lost dog.
After a month-long test, Yang Tiehui excitedly announced: "All the fortresses are qualified, the effect is the same as our calculations, it is very complete, and we have finally succeeded." "All the people who participated in the construction were shouting and jumping with excitement, and they were finally able to sleep well when the construction of the fortress was completed.
The fortress has been built and should be retreated, but Sun Tiejian doesn't think so: " Although the fortress has been built, however, the huge number of storage arrays in the fortress has just begun to store energy, and the current fortress has not yet exerted 100% combat effectiveness, if we retreat back to defend now, the energy in the fortress is insufficient, and it may be captured by the enemy, therefore, if we drag on here for one more day, the fortress will be able to store energy for one more day, and the more energy we store, the greater our hope of victory in the future war, so we will not stop retreating for the time being, and we will continue to hold off the enemy army. β
"I know that everyone has worked very hard in the past eight years, and there is hardly a day of rest, either fighting or spending time in a hurry, the work of the intelligence department is even heavier, everyone needs to rest, but in order for us to be able to better fight the enemy in future battles, we have to continue to fight, think about our relatives in the rear, they need more time to develop, therefore, it doesn't matter if we work hard, continue to fight, until the enemy discovers our fortress. β
That's it, the upper echelons of the coalition army unified their understanding, and the army continued to fight, dragging down the pace of the Tianhu army's advance, and at the same time, leading the enemy's main force to a farther place to buy more time for the rear, although all the soldiers were tired, but there were no complaints, because they all understood that in the rear of the fortress were their relatives, and if the fortress was breached, the relatives would have to take care of the wandering career.
