When the fat man arrived at the front command room, it was already a busy scene, combat staff officers, correspondents, intelligence officers, and coordination officers of various services, shuttling back and forth, and the huge hall full of various instruments had all been activated, a group of data, battle reports, charts, and instructions.They kept coming here, and after they were organized, they were gathered on the podium where Russell and Bernadotte were.Tian Xingjian walked to the command platform and saluted Bernadotte and Russell, Russell pointed to a command computer next to him and said: "Your position is there, except that you can't issue orders, other permissions are the same as ours, the overall plan is not here, you can only rely on the real-time intelligence and data in the computer to make inferences." ”The fat man nodded, and couldn't wait to sit down in his seat and began to read the information, this command terminal was exactly the same as the one used by Russell, the interstellar map, the planet map, the troops, firepower, logistics, combat units, enemy intelligence, etc. were clear at a glance.The battle report shows that the 4th Mixed Fleet successfully attracted the attention of the Imperial garrison fleet at the space hop point, and when they approached the jump point, they suddenly split in two, one up and down and one slashed a herringbone in space, and the garrison fleet in front of them was forced to start turning the ship with its engines and preparing for battle, otherwise, when the two legs of this herringbone were clamped, the garrison fleet could only lose its armor and fall for a thousand miles.After the Fourth Fleet bypassed the garrison fleet, it began to disperse again, and the four scattered teams took the pursuing Imperial fleet to turn over the entire airspace.Tear apart the pursuing fleet and garrison fleet, making it impossible for them to maintain a reserve of fire on space jump points.Russell and Bernadotte keenly seized the opportunity, and they ordered the Fourth Fleet to make a turn and cooperate with the forced breakthrough of the 1st and 2nd mixed fleets.The battle at the space jump point has begun, and in the rear, the giant transport ship full of Deng 6 troops has also been lifted into the air, and the fat man is flipping through the data over and over again, he must first figure out the current comparison of the forces of the enemy and us.His instincts told the fat man that Libgaut would not give up the opportunity to strike the Federation fleet at a space hop so easily.Dog said, where will the old guy hide his knife?
Spatial defense has this flaw, the defender will never know when the opponent's battleship will appear in the vast airspace outside the space jump point, and after a few minutes, these ships will activate the energy shield, and the defender can only destroy the attacker's battleship in large numbers by seizing the moment the enemy breaks through.Since the Fourth Fleet was equipped with all the new warships produced by the Federation, the officers and men of the battleships also had a tacit understanding, and under the command of Vice Admiral Brown, they pulled the pursuing fleet and the garrison fleet into a line, and then turned around and clung to the middle of the line!
The First and Second Fleets broke through the space jump point at this moment.Only a small number of Imperial warships were able to pose a threat to these warships that had not yet opened the energy defense shield, and the Federation broke through the space jump point with almost minimal cost!
However, with a loss of 5 percent, the Fourth Fleet broke through the encirclement and interception of the Imperial Fleet, including the Pursuit Fleet and the Space Garrison Fleet, and was about to turn back to form a trident with the First and Second Fleets, when it ran into another Imperial Fleet that appeared behind the First and Second Fleets!
The cunning Libgaut had kept this fleet in ambush between a planet and its moons twenty thousand kilometers away for a long time, though he had not waited for the opportunity to attack the first and second mixed fleets of the Federation.But he waited for the opportunity to flank the Fourth Fleet!
This ambush was very difficult for Vice Admiral Brown, the commander of the Fourth Mixed Fleet, who had only to turn around and cooperate with the attack of the First and Second Fleets to defeat the two Imperial Mixed Fleets.But now, the appearance of Gacharin's ambush fleet made him unable to turn back, not only could he not turn back, but instead gave the two imperial fleets the opportunity to bite their tails tightly and follow him to break through the flanking attack of the first and second fleets.No matter how clever the commander is, there is no way to control the direction of the war at this moment, Russell seized the opportunity to let the breakthrough of the First and Second Fleets avoid great losses, and Libgaut chose the most suitable ambush location, although this fleet did not dare to attack the first and second fleets, but they caught up with the interception of the Fourth Fleet.The fat man nervously looked at the command report transmitted back from the front line, the battleship data, the situation of the enemy and the enemy, the airspace map, and the appearance of the third imperial mixed fleet was really unexpected, although he knew that Libgao had a special arrangement, but the fat man couldn't find the enemy's arrangement in the interstellar map in front of him!
On the whole, it seems that Libgaut has always been in the hands of the Federation, and has been led along, but he has put the fleet in silence between a planet and its moons 20,000 kilometers away.No matter what happens, this hand can change the situation as soon as it is ready to go into battle!
Turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain!
Simple and effective.The fat man took a deep breath and scolded, "Old fox." ”He thought, "What would I do if I were Brown?"
”It was a question he could not have imagined on his own.The space battle has nothing to do with Russell and Libgaut at this point, and only they can decide the fate of the fleets of both sides.Lieutenant General Brown sweats like rain!
The Fourth Fleet is almost in a desperate situation!
Due to the stagnation of the engines of the 1st and 2nd mixed fleets when they broke through the space jump point, they had to intersperse them horizontally before the two Imperial fleets in the rear bit them, which was simply not enough.This was the biggest dilemma the Fourth Fleet encountered, and Brown was a clever commander who never put the fleet in danger during the invasion of the Garrilei system.But now, it seems that there is no way to dodge, and the first and second and second three imperial fleets are thinking about the fourth fleet to encircle, what should I do?
In war, momentary hesitation pays an even heavier price.Thankfully, someone made a decision for Brown.Sixteen battleships, one hundred and ten cruisers, severed like a gecko's tail.They placed their battleships between the two high-tailing Imperial fleets and the main force of the Fourth Fleet, and blocked them on the spot!
The captain of a battleship connected the communication channel, his face trembling a little, but he managed to stand up straight and said to Brown, "General, it's an honor to fight under your command.Good bye. ”Vice Admiral Brown, who had never imagined that he would sacrifice the lives of his soldiers, knelt on the bridge for the first time, grabbed his head in pain and shouted, "No!
”The commander of the 1st and 2nd Mixed Fleets, which was moving towards the tail of the Fourth Fleet, shouted desperately: "Mention me!
Rush up!!
”The soldiers in the power room had done their best, after all, it was not the engine room of an ancient ship, even if they turned on all the drives and drove the propulsion to the highest, they could only watch the battleship slowly increase, and if they could, they would like to use themselves as energy to fill in the energy motivation of the auxiliary power.Sixteen of the latest battleships and 110 cruisers stubbornly resisted, and their desperate resistance only delayed the vanguard of the pursuing fleet for only ten minutes, like fireworks suddenly blooming in the universe, after the brilliant and dazzling light, they turned into nothing, and together with tens of thousands of officers and men, disappeared into the vast universe, leaving no trace.The two Federation fleets, with their engines fully open, almost crashed into the fleet of battleships of the Imperial fleet.The cruiser reacted the fastest, with some captains squeezing out of the fire control crews, firing desperately and venting their anger, while others pushed away the soldiers in charge of the course, and the battleships continued to rush into the Imperial battleship group, and then break through.Not to be outdone, the Imperial fleet did not allow their prey to slip out of their mouths, and despite the interspersed Federation cruisers, they rushed forward frantically, and many battleships were even crashed.The battleship's long-accumulated main guns fired a sudden salvo, unscrupulously and without scruples, just firing in a high collision!
destroying everything in front of him.The distance between the two sides was so close that they could even see from the porthole of the other battleship looking at their opponents from the portholes.Tian Xingjian sighed, the answer, sure enough, there is only sacrifice.He understood a little earlier than Brown, and when he first met the Demon Tiger, the Federation soldiers who used their bodies to counter-charge told him that there would be no victory without sacrifice.He looked up at Bernadotte and Russell calmly, they didn't seem to be looking at the report of the assembled battle that had been delayed for an hour or two, they were both looking at the interstellar map, as if they had seen the battle tens of thousands of light-years away.The result of the strangulation of the 1st and 2nd mixed fleets and the enemy was nothing more than a close match.Whoever wins will depend on the outcome between the Fourth Fleet and the Empire's ambushed fleet.Before the fat man lowered his head and stared at the battle report, he seemed to see the corners of Russell's mouth and showed a hint of a smile.Vice Admiral Brown raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, he stared at the oncoming Imperial fleet, as if he was going to put his opponent to his mouth like this, and bit it with his teeth and swallowed it one by one!
He turned on the fleet communication channel and said to everyone: "I promised to take you back, to bring back a glorious fleet!"
Now, our companions have sacrificed themselves to fulfill my promise, and they have gone before me, to heaven.Now is the time to see them off, keep up with me!
Charge, see off the heroes!
”Brown's flagship rushed to the front of the entire fleet in a high posture, sacrifice, it is a tradition of the Federation, and so is the lead!
The red-eyed Brown led a group of red-eyed battleships to suddenly raise the level, and that awe-inspiring charging posture made the oncoming Imperial fleet timid!
The effective range of the new Federation ships was much longer than that of ordinary ships, and the Fourth Fleet's training showed results, as they fired the first salvo at the most opportune position, and the Imperial Fleet only came into range after suffering this shot, but at this time, the Fourth Fleet had dispersed like a rain of arrows in the air, and still maintained a high charge.The third salvo, the fourth volley, the two sides were like knights charging at each other in ancient times, desperately trying to make holes in each other's bodies with their spears.They were bleeding non-stop, and the battleships were exploding.The commander of the Imperial fleet was sneering, it was simply stupid for such an opponent with superior warships to charge with him!
Brown's red eyes shone sharply, and he slammed his fist into the bridge railing.The order was given: "Fighter group, it's up to you!"
Sortie!
”The Fourth Fleet shifted neatly to the right by forty-five degrees, and the group of fighters that had been hidden behind the fleet soared into the air, like a peacock screen that suddenly opened, and pounced on the imperial warships in the stunned!
The Imperial fleet was like a den, and everyone was shouting in panic: "Impossible!
How can these fighters keep up in the high charge!
No way!
The aircraft carrier did not have such a quick release!
Our fighters!
Unleash the Fighters!
”It was too late, and the Federation warplanes swarmed into the formation of the Imperial fleet, firing wantonly in the formation, energy cannon fire, mixed shells, missile guiders, and communication jammers, like a rain of rain falling on the Imperial warships.The huge body of the battleship simply could not cope with such a group of fighters, and they could only rely on the thick skin and flesh to resist!
However, the role of fighters is not only to attack, they are lingering ropes, which put on the head of the battleship again and again, making you angry, driving you crazy, blocking your communications, making you unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and allowing more powerful but unpleasant guided missiles to accurately hit you!
The two Imperial fleets that were pursuing the Fourth Fleet finally broke free from the strangulation of the First and Second Fleets of the Federation, and they rushed straight forward, but instead of pursuing the Fourth Fleet, they directly broke away from the battle.It was the ambushed fleet that was hit the hardest.They didn't know that the new battleships and cruisers were designed with towed fighters, and the aircraft carriers released in batches had been hanging on these warships.With the support of the other two fleets, only 40 percent of them were able to get out of the battlefield in the end.The explosion of the Fourth Fleet, the entanglement with the First and Second Fleets, and finally the loss of breaking through the space jump point decreased from 2 to 1 to 0.8 to 1.A brilliant victory.Tian Xingjian repeatedly looked at the order records sent back from the front line, looking at the live images, this was the first time he sat in the room, and he felt that the battle of the distant spacemen was so close to him, so close that it was within reach!
On the command terminal computer, the final statistics of this battle are displayed, a row of bright red words.Casualties: 273369 a stunning victory.Russell and Bernadotte were discussing something in whispers, their expressions still so calm.
