In the boundless starry sky, the huge bodies of warships slid by, obscuring the light of the distant stars.From.They swarmed, spewing high columns of water and breaking through the sparkling waves.The planets, asteroid belts, or stardust that pass along the way, are as dim as the coral reefs of the ocean floor that are shaded by schools of whales on the water.It was only after the battleships chasing each other left that they shone again in the invisible light of the black void.The fleet stretched out for tens of thousands of kilometers.Whether it is the Fijian Alliance battleship fighting and retreating in front or the Xiyue battleship chasing after the rear, the degree has been raised to the top.These steel sharks pulled straight trajectories through the stardust, cleaving waves in the asteroid belt, chasing each other and firing at each other.A Fiyan warship had just been put into distress when the two Western cruisers besieging it exploded and shattered.A Western fleet had just been surrounded by the deliberately backward Fyan fleet, and the other Western fleet had already rushed over like a mad herd of rhinoceros.Thousands of space fighters flew like frightened swarms.These space killers, who were extremely fast and had very small targets, were suddenly released as the space carriers surrounded by the fleet were high, rushed into the formation of the enemy fleet and fired wantonly, and suddenly they were recalled by Skynet, and one after another disappeared under the bright energy shield of the advancing aircraft carrier.The entire universe was illuminated by the meteor-like energy cannon light between the battleships and the battleships.The white, red mass of light, burning, dragging its long tail, swept through the black void.When they hit the ship, a larger and brighter light would light up, and the debris fragments from the explosion would spread out in all directions.Outside the porthole of the flagship command room, another huge white light lit up, illuminating the hall transparently.Banning's grim face was half-lit and half-dark in this sudden glow, and it looked like the Grim Reaper who appeared by the traveler's fire in the silence of the night."
General!"
Mandanda stood up from the console under Banning's command, walked quickly to Banning's side, and handed over a document marked as top secret: "This is the casualty report that has just been counted. ”Banning opened the file with a blank face.Even though he was mentally prepared, his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the document.The report shows that in less than ten hours since the start of the attack on the Metis system, our fleet has lost ten A-class fleets!
Most of them were slaughtered by the bandit fleet that rushed into the formation during the stagnation period after passing through the jump point.During that period of time when the Western Fleet was powerless, the damned Filipino coalition took advantage of it!
Banning took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger.However, the air inhaled into the lungs burned as if it had met the pure oxygen of a flame.He tried his best to resist the urge to smash the folder on the ground, and gritted his teeth!
Looking at Banningtie's angular cheeks because of his clenched teeth, the solemn Mandanda was in awe and feeling for a while.As a key nurture for the Naga Federal military, Mandanda has always prided himself on his talent and talent that sets him apart from his peers.In his opinion, becoming a generation of famous players is not the result of twenty or thirty years of hard work.Maybe in this war, you can be among the famous generals with a beautiful battle!
However, when he followed Banning into this battle, he realized that compared with Russell, Banning, and famous generals like Banning and Goode, he was still a rookie who didn't know the height of the sky!
To be honest, Banning didn't play well before that, and even had some.Before arriving at Desik, his forward fleet was defeated by Emperor Desik Frank.Bidru's stupidity buried six A-class fleets in vain.At the same time, unable to determine the location of the bandit army's stealth fleet, he had to let Goode lead the fleet to hit the Metis jump point again and again with refueling tactics, trying to force the opponent's hidden fleet out at the cost of heavy sacrifices!
And the news of the bandit fleet's attack on Desikdu left the entire Western Forward Fleet in a state of chaos generated by extreme resentment.The officers and men of the Western Fleet, who had opposed the refueling tactics from the outset, were outraged in the fleet's Freedom Channel.The noisy words are nothing more than how wise they are, and how stupid the Naga will be to carefully attack the jump point with refueling tactics!
Mandanda felt that if it was herself, she would have lost her mind a long time ago.However, these gossips did not have any effect on Banning.The number one Naga general, who overwhelmed Libgaut, was only so calm that he almost coldly suppressed the cries of attack in the fleet.It wasn't until the exact size and quantity of the bandit fleet attacking Desik came from the rear that he finally made the decision to give up rescuing Desik and attack the Metis system with all his might.The battle, from the first moment of the advance fleet of Goode rushed out of the jump point, it entered the white heat.It seems that the bandit fleet, which had already known that the other side would attack with all its might, had adopted a long-range defense in the previous battles, but this time it actually adopted a close-range oppressive attack.Two Chakner fleets, one Fyan group, smashed into the Western Fleet group, which was in a period of stagnation, from three directions, and opened fire indiscriminately.The main formation led by Russell, who was in front, also approached less than 1,000 kilometers to the end of the jump area to attack.At such a distance, the role of the fleet's missiles and fighters was fully waved.They don't even have to take up the attack position, adjust the ship and formation, they just need to keep firing.Naturally, one Western fleet after another appeared in front of their guns after the white light of the jump!
At that time, Mandanda felt that the cold sweat on her back was even soaking through her clothes.Banning didn't show his demeanor, but Russell on the other side gave him his first lesson!
You must know that although the attack power of this close-range oppressive attack of the Feiyang fleet is strong, it puts the defender itself in a dangerous situation because of the close distance.Unless it is judged that the jump of the attacking fleet is a concentrated jump and can achieve greater results, no one wants to rush up and fight!
He couldn't imagine how Russell knew that the Western fleet would launch an all-out attack and change tactics to concentrate and jump.He only knew that Russell's command had unleashed two hundred percent of the power of the Fiji Alliance's oppressive play.Every salvo they fired, every rhythm of fighter releases and retractions, every route of the fleet, fueled their slaughter like gasoline.If he had led the fleet, he might have been defeated by Russell's knife-sharp attack.Banning, on the other hand, calmly gave orders from beginning to end, turning the tide of the battle little by little.Eventually, the Seeyo fleet survived the jump stagnation and broke through the jump point.And what made Mandanda couldn't help but be angry was that when the Western Covenant warships lit up their energy shields, the Filipino Alliance warships, which were originally biting like vicious dogs, stayed away from the war zone one after another.Russell, who has always used soldiers very hard and pays great attention to reputation, actually ran away!
Judging from the scene, he didn't think about defending the Metis system at all.Everything before was just a trap set by him by taking advantage of Xiyue's caution, in order to take advantage of the opportunity and lose a little more of Xiyue's vitality!
Thinking of the scene at that time, thinking of the various voices of those coalition officers and soldiers in the fleet channel, not to mention Banning, even Mandanda, who was standing next to him, was still angry.The kind of grievance caused by being pressed to the ground and having a blue nose and swollen face, and looking like he was about to get up and fight back against his opponent but ran away is really difficult to keep his sanity.The only thing to be thankful for may be the fierce advance of the Gude Division, which took the lead in ending the jump, before the main force of the Filipino Alliance was about to escape.That was the second lesson Mandanda learned in this battle.The teacher is Goode.At that time, Russell's command cluster was only a thousand kilometers away from the airspace of the jump point.Immediately, after surviving the standstill, the Goode fleet inserted directly between Russell's command cluster and Chackner's Thirteenth Fleet with a ferocious and swift interlude.Judging from the situation of the battle, it is not wise for Goode to intersperse and put his Storm Bear fleet in danger of advancing alone.But in fact, it was this almost frantic cut that forced Chacner's 13th fleet, which had been moving closer to the central cluster, to turn around and delay the retreat.It was these few minutes that allowed the West Fleet to slowly approach Russell's fleet in the subsequent chase and bite it to the death!
The battle of jumping space, Russell and Goode made a deep impression on Mandanda.And in the ensuing battle, it was Banning who shone brightly.Not only did he have a deeper sense of awe for Banning, but even the officers of the fleets of the Western Compact member states, who were picking their noses and eyes, gradually shut their mouths and obeyed in the battle that followed.After confronting Russell's only A-class bandit fleet, they admit that they were right to refuel without knowing where the main force of the bandit army is going.Because through the battle, they knew what a group of fierce opponents were driving such advanced warships!
The Bandit Warships seem to possess an extremely advanced engine, capable of providing them with twice as many energy neutralizing units as the most advanced warships currently in the West.Even if the main gun attack of the Binalt battleship was used, it would take four ships to fire a salvo and hit at the same time to cause its energy shield to collapse.If it is such a cannon shot, with the recovery degree of the energy shield of the bandit warship, as long as the energy is not exhausted, it will not be able to be destroyed for a day.And when its energy shield collapses, it doesn't mean that it can be destroyed.Although the metal materials and thickness of their battleship's armor were not much stronger than those of other warships of the Filipino Alliance, their split structure brought greater survivability to the battleship.Usually, after the middle or tail thrusters of the battleship are penetrated, they will either lose their combat effectiveness or lose power.But the bandit warships are different.When the Celestial ships managed to break down their energy shields, the ensuing attacks were able to blast through the armor shells, but they could not de-strain them.That's the protective power of their unique split structure.Their engine systems don't appear to be in one location, but rather are made up of multiple engine systems strung together.This gives their ships another survivability, that is, after the shell armor and tail thrusters are destroyed, they can still escape by discarding the destroyed parts, and even counterattack.In the face of the bandit warship, everyone feels like hitting cockroaches with newspapers, hitting cockroaches once and still running, hitting cockroaches twice and still running, three, four, five......
If no one is so angry that they step on it, then Xiaoqiang is still running!
After witnessing the ferocious ramming, the precise and fast artillery bombardment, and the giant space carrier that released 3,000 fighters at a time, the officers and men of the Western Covenant could not imagine how miserable the Western Fleet would have been if the main force of the bandit army had relied on their stealth technology to set up an ambush somewhere in the airspace of the jump point or the flight segment, and had not resorted to refueling tactics to attack.And in the process of pursuing along the way, Banning's command skills also convinced every Western Covenant officer and soldier.Starting from the jump point, Russell's unit first retreated along the course to the main star of Metis, attempting to retreat to the A8 system.However, since the main force of his fleet could not escape the pursuit of the Western fleet, he had to use several obstacles in the channel to block the attack, trying to repel the pursuers and then calmly leave.However, in these few encounters, Banning has the upper hand.Whether Russell is going head-to-head, defeating, ambushing, seducing, or bobbing a shot, he can't hide from Banning's eyes.Several times relying on the blocking of the obstacle area, not only failed to open the distance, but made the West Fleet bite tighter and forced it out of the channel!
This is the third lesson that Mandanda learned.In terms of making accurate judgments and giving the right orders in such a fierce battle, he is still far from Banning!
Every change of tactics in a battle between the two sides, and even the route of each fleet, the timing and control of salvo shots and fighter sorties, are an art.And now, as the two fleets get closer and closer, and as Russell's fleet, which was forced out of the channel, encounters more and more dangers from space, the battle has come to an end."
Goode, the Storm Bears First Fleet deflected 15oo ticks to the left, full foreground.Within three minutes, it arrived at the R23 airspace, coordinates 233934.425563.345522.7. ”"Binalt's 63rd Flotilla, taking up the attack position along the outer roundabout, and the 64th Flotilla covering.Your mission is to intercept your opponents. ”On the command platform, Banning, who put down the papers, coldly laid out one order after another.In the void outside the porthole, countless warships were galloping, and countless energy cannon lights dragged their long tails back and forth.The Fiji fleet ahead was running wildly along the edge of an asteroid belt.The Western Fleet in the rear was already under the command of Banning, and its wings were spread out, like a big fishing net, trying to cover the enemy.Mandanda's gaze casually skimmed over the interstellar map.Russell, who was forced out of the channel, drew a large circle in the universe after more than ten hours of escape, and was forced to the airspace not far from the jump point of the Metis galaxy.Only this time, they can no longer take advantage of the previous defenses.This place, which is only three million kilometers away from the airspace of the jump point, is the grave of the Fijian fleet!"
General!"
In front of the center console, a staff officer suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.Banning and Mandanda frowned and stared.It was the radar's control area, and staff officers usually reported the situation to the intelligence liaison officer on duty, and few of them stood up and shouted at the central command platform.In the field of vision, the staff officer's face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost.His finger pointed at the radar screen, and a pair of small eyes opened desperately, revealing a look of extreme fear and despair.On the radar screen, there was nothing unusual, but around the fleet, small dots suddenly appeared.The small green dots of light are getting denser and denser, and they are already covering the entire screen in an instant!
There was a loud "boom", and the flagship shook violently!
Immediately, dozens of exploding white lights lit up from the portholes of the battleship at the same time.Dazzling, with a kind of desperate coldness!"
Enemy attack!"
A terrible cry rang out in the fleet channel at the same time.At the scream, Mandanda looked at the telescope with cold hands and feet.In front of him, behind him, on the left, on the right, and above, the bandit warships were full of bandit warplanes that swooped down like heavy cumulonimbus clouds.Nine A-class fleets, nine giant space carriers!
Under the attack of these warships and warplanes, the entire fleet of Western Covenant has become a mess.Countless warships were beaten to pieces from behind and from the side!"
How is that possible?!
How did they come back, how could they be here?!
”Mandanda couldn't believe her eyes.After learning the news that the main force of the bandit army was attacking Desikdu, Banning personally led the staff to repeatedly eliminate and confirm the possible support of the bandit army before ordering the attack.Moreover, it has been less than fifteen hours since the start of the attack on the jump point, and there is absolutely no jump point leading to the free passage of Mars wherever Russell has fled.How did these bandit warships end up here?!
He jerked his head back and looked at Banning.But I saw that the famous general Naga slowly sat down on the chair, and the blood on his face, like the staff officer of the current bandit army, faded completely in an instant."
Admiral!"
Mandandaga said."
I've always had the feeling of being led by the nose," Banning's voice seemed to float over the command hall, "and I've been telling myself that there isn't enough time for the bandits to come back, and that as long as Russell doesn't lead us to the jump point to the Mars Passage, we're not in danger."
However, I forgot one thing......
"Under Mandanda's gaze, his left hand slowly followed the main channel of Zeus and Hera, pointing to the jump point where the Western fleet's fleet had stayed, and then crossed the jump point and pulled directly into the current airspace.And his right hand, following the escape route of Russell's fleet, made a big circle and returned to the current airspace."
Simple and genius time difference trap!"
In the violent shaking of the battleship, Banning said heavily: "These crazy people, directly from the main channel of the Hera system, all the way back!"
