In the solar system, the New Song-class battleship S10 is sailing aimlessly in space at a speed of thirty kilometers per second.
This is a task given by the combat headquarters to these commanders. The purpose is to let them experience the vastness and loneliness of space navigation. As future fleet commanders, their space flight experience is not as good as that of a group of scientific researchers and guards.
The army can't even compare to a group of businessmen who went to inspect the Youmu star... Of course, that is absolutely impossible.
Yang Wenzhi got up very early today. He walked into the command cabin at only seven o'clock, and then woke up Major Olaf who was on the night shift last night.
"Yang, so early?" Major Olaf is from Central Europe, but has a strong physique like a Nordic. Lying on the multi-functional chair, he looked like a hibernating bear. When he saw Yang Wenzhi coming in, he rubbed his sleepy eyes.
, glanced at the monitor screen again, and pulled off the sensor attached to his wrist.
This sensor was not a multi-functional watch, but a special electric alarm clock that could release high-voltage current. He was worried that he would be in a dark place when he fell asleep and would not even be able to wake up when the alarm clock went off, so he brought it with him.
He came up with such a thing. When it was his turn to work the night shift, he connected the thing with Aita. In case of emergency, Aita could wake him up directly.
"It's only seven o'clock..." Olaf muttered and stood up: "Have you had breakfast?"
"I don't know. Just go and have a look. If everything is fine, bring me a cup of coffee."
"okay."
Olaf left, and Yang Wenzhi also opened the captain's log and turned a new page.
When he saw the page number showing "30", he sighed silently, and then opened the tactical map.
30, which means they have been on board the ship for a month, which also means... the war in the Auriga Galaxy has been fought for a month.
Or to be more precise, they were oppressed and chased by the enemy for a month.
During this month, whether it was the Ursa Minor Fleet commanded by the twelve of them or the Auriga Fleet commanded by colleagues at the command center, guerrilla tactics were thoroughly implemented and executed.
But... after losing the deterrence of rice grains, a super long-range killer weapon, human beings' initiative has been eroded bit by bit.
There is no way, the battleship is not as fast as others, and the main gun is not as powerful as others, so all it can do is engage in petty theft and harassment.
But as the distance between the fleets of both sides continues to shrink, the fighter jets sent from the opposite side have almost wiped out the frontline detectors previously released by humans. Without the assistance of the detectors, the main guns of humans are now getting worse and worse with more aim. Even if
Having a powerful Aita to correct the trajectory doesn't help either.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the large Auriga fleet suffered a large-scale attrition in a battle three days ago - the enemy troops were divided into two groups and relied on speed to form a pincer offensive, forcing
The Auriga Fleet fought with it, and in the end the Auriga Fleet lost eight battleships before they were able to escape - but their result was only the destruction of two enemy destroyers.
As a result, the Auriga fleet only had ten battleships left.
Although their Ursa Minor fleet has not suffered any losses at present - this is also due to the fact that they were far away from the beginning and the enemy obviously did not pay much attention to their six small broken ships. But frankly speaking, in the face of the suddenly fierce enemy, the six small ships
If a new Song-class battleship were to be fought face to face, the only choice would be to send it away.
Looking at the positions of the ships on both sides, Yang Wenzhi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
The loss of a battleship is a trivial matter, but the enemy's position is clearly approaching the "38th Parallel"!
The so-called 38th line refers to a three-dimensional coordinate function with the main sequence star of the galaxy as the origin - this is the bottom line that the command issued half a month ago that must be adhered to! Its specific location is probably on the fourth,
Space lines between five planets.
Of course, Yang Wenzhi probably knows why he set this as the bottom line. After all, there is a base on the fourth planet where a spacecraft flew out. This is not a secret in the fleet, and it was originally with the Auriga fleet.
The Questioning Star has been exploring the planet for a long time. Obviously there is something worth exploring and protecting on it.
"Lao Yang, good morning."
"morning."
As time slowly passed, colleagues who got up early came to the command cabin one after another. Zeng Yuanhai handed Yang Wenzhi a piece of bread, came to the big screen and took a look, then shook his head: "Don't look at it, let's wait until the troops are replenished."
"Yeah." Yang Wenzhi turned around in his chair, gnawed on the bread, and took out two eggs from the other person's pocket.
After breakfast, everyone sat down one after another to prepare for the regular morning meeting. Unexpectedly, when Yang Wenzhi was just about to start, Aita's voice rang out.
"Commander, after receiving the instruction from the command center, you will be ready to access the video in three seconds. Please prepare."
After Aita's words fell, everyone stood up instantly, almost as a reflex.
After a moment, the laser was lowered on the table, and General Qin's figure also appeared at the same time.
"Good morning everyone."
"General, good morning." Yang Wenzhi looked serious and bowed to the figure.
"Relax, I will announce the next stage of your mission."
Yang Wenzhi did not answer, but stared at the other party intently.
"Next, the warship you are currently on will perform a return mission, but your combat mission will not be cancelled."
"In three hours, the Andromeda Fleet, a total of 24 Eagle-class battleships, will pass through the Star Gate and arrive in the Auriga Galaxy."
Yang Wenzhi's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes - although 24 ships were not many, compared to the current Auriga battlefield, they were definitely a viable force!
"After the Andromeda Fleet arrives in the Auriga Galaxy, it will directly cancel its designation and merge with your current six battleships to become the new Ursa Minor Fleet."
After a pause, a smile appeared on General Qin's lips: "These thirty warships will be fully commanded by twelve of you."
In the command cabin, everyone inhaled instantly, and a moment later they shouted in unison: "Yes!"
"As I said before, you can verify all your tactics and ideas, don't feel pressure, the entire human race is standing behind you."
"yes!"
After ending the communication, Yang Wenzhi clenched his fists and took several deep breaths before looking back at the equally excited people: "Thirty ships, according to the configuration of our six groups, means that each of our groups can command at the same time.
Five battleships!”
"Then we can try to conduct a roll call!"
"It's one thing to set fire to roll call, but the main thing is rice grains! Brother, without rice grains, now my heart is empty."
"You must not be able to collect so many grains of rice at once, right?"
"But a ship comes with a head office as standard, right?"
"I guess it's quite annoying - Lao Yang, can you see the armory of Andromeda now? See what weapons are on board."
Yang Wenzhi nodded quickly: "I'll take a look at the permissions right away - I want to apply."
"Well, the application was approved."
Yang Wenzhi quickly operated on the tablet, and the projection in front showed the information about the Andromeda fleet.
These twenty-four Eagle-class battleships are the second batch of fast battleships built by the human space dock. They are the type that are brought to the front line as soon as they roll off the assembly line.
Taking a quick glance at the weapon system, Yang Wenzhi felt regret on his face: "What a pity, there are no grains of rice."
"Oh, what if we don't have rice grains? Let's use conventional missiles - what is this? Damn it, a tactical nuclear warhead?"
"Isn't it? Do you want us to drop nuclear bombs in space?"
"It seems that it is not a nuclear warhead, but a conventional warhead."
"Conventional warheads? It's okay to hit a plane...it's probably too hard to hit a battleship."
"Whatever, it's better than nothing anyway!"
While everyone was talking, Yang Wenzhi also completed the inspection. After a while, he lightly knocked on the table, and everyone gradually became quiet.
Taking a deep breath in silence, Yang Wenzhi glanced at everyone: "Don't complain, now we only have this condition, then... let's think about how to use these thirty battleships to contain the enemy.
.”
Yang Wenzhi very accurately summarized the current mission goal of Taiyue in the Auriga galaxy, which is to "contain".
The main task of these people is to contain the enemy and stop them outside the midline of the Auriga Galaxy, wait until the humans explode, and then launch a wave of "counterattack".
"Everyone, look at the tactical star chart."
Yang Wenzhi removed the information about the Andromeda fleet that was preparing to cross the star gate in the Triangulum Galaxy and raised the tactical star chart again.
He pointed at the Executor fleet that was "pursuing" the remaining 10 warships. After a few seconds of silence, he said in a deep voice: "From our interactions in the past month, we can tell that the enemy's goal is very clear, which is to completely eliminate us.
.”
"I even have a feeling...that the enemy wants to play a cat-and-mouse game with us."
As he spoke, Yang Wenzhi raised his head and looked at the crowd: "Let's put ourselves in their shoes. If we are an enemy fleet, we want to carry out a mission to exterminate the target galaxy... but we encounter the same situation. What do you think we should do most now?
"
Everyone was startled for a moment, then fell into thinking.
After a moment, Smil raised his head and asked tentatively: "Use the fastest speed to destroy the human fleet in front, even ignore the warships that pose no threat to you, destroy the humans as soon as possible and finish the work as soon as possible."
"Yes, logically that should be the case. But they obviously... have the intention of expelling and chasing our fleet. Look at the battle three days ago."
As he spoke, Yang Wenzhi called up the star map from three days ago.
Seeing that there were still eighteen spots of light on the Auriga fleet on the star map, everyone's expressions darkened - although there was no one on the battleship, the loss of nearly half of it still made people feel very powerless.
"The Auriga fleet was preparing to move to point T, intending to go around and harass, but the enemy intercepted it directly in two, and almost made a dumpling. We were at point H at the time, and we originally wanted to provide support, but the enemy
There are always eight battleships whose main guns are pointing in our direction..."
"Our opponents hope to completely annihilate the Auriga Fleet. However, the Auriga Fleet's position is very coquettish. In addition, they did not fire a few guns and retained enough energy to escape. But you see, they are actually now
Don’t be in a hurry.”
"Therefore, the enemy is not anxious to destroy human beings, but wants to annihilate all human warships. In other words, in the battle with human beings, he will understand human technology." Yang Wenzhi took a deep breath as he spoke, and then
He pursed his lips and his expression gradually became serious: "I even suspect that the enemy has similar ideas to us..."
"what idea?"
"We are stalling for time, are they stalling for time?" Yang Wenzhi looked at everyone and said word for word: "Don't forget, we destroyed their man-made singularity, they can still come here via the stars!
"
This sentence caused everyone to fall into silence at the same time.
Yes, executors know very little about humans, but humans don’t know much about executors.
At the very least, humans have no idea how big the Executor's civilization is, and how many warships it can bring to the battlefield... none of this is known to humans.
After a while, Zeng Yuanhai asked belatedly: "Then... what should we do?"
"Since General Qin said, we don't have to be mentally burdened and can try all tactics and ideas. Then we can try it." Yang Wenzhi took a deep breath again and pointed his finger at the "38th Parallel" star field.
The asteroid belt in which it is located.
"When the 24 Eagle-class battleships of the Andromeda Fleet arrive, we will meet up in the asteroid belt."
"Then, we rely on the large asteroids in the asteroid belt as cover to ambush the enemy!"
"Ambush? I'm afraid the enemy will notice it as soon as the battleship enters the galaxy, right?"
"Well, what I mean by ambush is... we hide the movable missiles behind the asteroid to see if we can launch a wave of conventional missile sneak attacks."
"Moreover, we can also verify whether the enemy is aiming to destroy us...or for fun."
…
Ye Ming didn't stay on the earth for long before he returned to the moon again. After all, it was now a war, and he was the chief scientific advisor of the Taiyue Operation Command Center.
But since the enemy's strength suddenly increased sharply, there was not much he could do. The rest was mainly fought by Taiyue's commanders.
Commanders also need to grow up.
And judging from the results of the battle, the commanders grew up quite quickly - when the Andromeda Fleet merged with the Ursa Minor Fleet to form the new Ursa Minor Fleet, the commanders who had high hopes quickly launched a beautiful "ambush"
"Battle, after destroying one of the enemy's capital ships with a one-for-one loss, it also successfully conducted a new maneuver relying on the asteroid belt.
This can also be regarded as a chance for the Auriga fleet, which only has ten battleships left, to breathe.
Of course, what mankind is short of now is time. As long as it is given a chance to breathe, mankind will continue to send warships to the front line.
As for what frontline commanders are worried about, Ye Ming thinks it is possible, but not serious.
After all... there is currently no sign that the Executor possesses weapons that are one "dimension" beyond that of humans - even though the speed and main gun power of human warships cannot match them, there is no obvious generation difference between the two sides.
On the same "dimension".
The second-generation rice grains that humans are developing are weapons from another dimension.
Therefore, even though Ye Ming is at the Lunar Taiyue Base, his job is still focused on building modular man-made singularities that he can only be responsible for personally.
