The mixed group of cruisers and fighters of the 1st Mixed Fleet finally defeated the enemy's battleship after losing 40% of its combat strength, this was a tragic battle, both sides were desperately attacking the enemy's main formation, and in the end, one of the aircraft carriers of the Gachalin Imperial Fleet was destroyed in the attack, and the aircraft carrier explosion burst into brilliant fireworks that completely disintegrated the fighting spirit of the Imperial Fleet, because it was affected by the aircraft carrier explosion, as well as the inconspicuous flagship hidden in the formation!
Without a unified command, some battleships began to retreat while the command signal had not yet been transferred from the flagship to the auxiliary ship, and these battleships were already full of holes, and the Imperial officers and soldiers on the ships were completely shocked by the deadly fighting style of the Federation fighters and cruisers!
These inferior soldiers occupied 60 percent of the battleship, and their morale was rapidly declining, and when they saw that there was a problem with the flagship, the captain in charge of the course did not even wait for the captain to give the order, and the captain in charge of the course took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the artillery fire, turned the ship around, and never looked back.At the same time, the Second Mixed Fleet composed of the First, Second and Eighth Fleets of the Federation stationed in the airspace of the space hop point finally ushered in their enemy, this is a mixed formation composed of six Imperial fleets, the appearance of six aircraft carriers made all the officers and men of the Second Mixed Fleet of the Federation gasp, the enemy had appeared in the area of 30,000 kilometers away from the fleet two hours ago, and was advancing at a high speed of thousands of kilometers per hour, and two hours later, the enemy's vanguard force would contact the Second Fleet.Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Chell had received news from the Federation's First Fleet before this, and when he knew that the First Fleet had been entangled by another Imperial fleet, Chell knew that this time he could only rely on himself, the Federation's Third Mixed Fleet was still formed in the central star field, and it was absolutely impossible to rush to the Newton system through the space jump point in less than a week.The Gachalin Empire wants to complete its work in one battle, and there will be so many enemies at this time, which can only mean that the Imperial Army took advantage of the opportunity for the Third and Ninth Space Fleets of the Federation to return to the central star field of Leray through the common star field to replenish, and transferred more than half of the troops of the space fleet stationed in the Galileo system to the Newton system, without the containment of the two fleets of the Federation, they have no scruples.At this time, the Federation of the Third and Ninth Space Fleets should be on a voyage from the public galaxy to the capital.There are only three paths in front of Lieutenant General Chel, and one is for all to die!
The other is to retreat when the Imperial fleet is still tens of thousands of kilometers away, and the third way is to withdraw to the central star field of the Federation.The most reliable is to retreat to the central star field, but this is also the most humiliating option!
All efforts have been in vain, and neither the First Mixed Fleet remaining in the Newton system nor the ground resistance forces on the planet Milok will be resupplied.If you want to open up this space jump channel, you need to pay ten times more tragic sacrifices than before.What about the first path?
Although the Federation fleet has improved its combat effectiveness to a high level in the recent battle, the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and it is a mixed fleet of six imperial fleets that is coming on!
The greatest result that can be achieved in a desperate struggle will be the total destruction of one's own side, while the opponent will lose forty percent of its combat effectiveness.From the point of view of choice, it seems that there is only a second way left, but Chell knows that this path is precisely the most unlikely choice, the fleet has appeared in the opponent's radar, there is not enough time to disappear from the opponent's radar, as far as the environment of the Newton galaxy is concerned, there are few places to hide the troops, without supplies, the fleet will become a sheep wandering in the desert, and the enemy will catch up little by little and eat the entire fleet bite by bite!
Moreover, the Second Mixed Fleet did not delay for a little time to run, this Imperial Fleet would immediately divide its forces, and at that time, not only would the space jump point be handed over, but the First Mixed Fleet, which had just gained a little advantage, would definitely not be able to escape the siege of the enemy!
War?
Or run away?
No one knows what Vice Admiral Chel was thinking at the time, and no one knows what the consequences would have been if he had given the order to retreat back to the central star field of Leray, anyway, the Second Fleet had set up a defensive formation under the orders of the commander, and was also ordered to activate the space jump booster to reserve energy.Every minute counts!
The fleet of the Gachalin Empire was less than 20,000 kilometers away, and the officers and men of the flagship looked at their frowning and silent commander with mixed feelings.At this time, one of the majors in charge of radar observation in the flagship command room cried out in a lost voice, and on the radar, the enemy's fleet slowed down, and on their flanks, a fleet appeared.The fleet was helping the commander of the Second Fleet to make decisions in a practical way, and they were holding back the enemy's high-speed advance and, like a moth to a flame, heroically rushed towards the enemy.They were not stupid, and outside the control of the enemy's firepower, the fleet made a graceful arc as if it were teasing its opponents, and the fleet collectively turned around and made a detour to the rear flank of the enemy fleet!
The signal of contact showed that this fleet was not a heavenly soldier who appeared out of thin air, but the Newton local fleet that had attacked the jump point with great sacrifice.A second-rate fleet in the Confederacy!
What they did stirred the hearts of all the officers and men of the 2nd Mixed Fleet.Only 30% of the main force of this fleet, which was basically disabled in the Space Hop Point battle, remained, and the remaining ships were all wounded.Because of the needs of the overall plan, they didn't get much replenishment at first, and it was only after the other main fleets were replenished that the Federation transferred some local forces from other galaxies and combined them into the new Newton local fleet.Now the fleet is giving a lesson to the Second Mixed Fleet, a demonstration lesson with blood and life as props, and the title is Sacrifice!
Newton's local fleet sacrificed life and bought time!
The First Fleet is in a winning position, what is needed now is time, the Gachalin Imperial Army has poured out, in this system, they cannot have other forces, what is needed now is time.Newton's local fleet was gaining time for the Second Mixed Fleet, and for the First Fleet to arrive in time after the battle.How long does it take to buy such time?
No one knew that the First Fleet would most likely suffer defeat under the enemy's superior forces, and defeat would mean that the sacrifice of Newton's local fleet would be worthless, and the Second Mixed Fleet would definitely not be the match for the huge Imperial fleet in front of them.Is it possible not to make such a sacrifice?
The answer, of course, is no.Even if they fail in the end, the Union soldiers will fight to the end for even a 1 in 10,000 chance.
