Chapter 744: Looking for opportunities in the fight
Home, captain's quarters.
As a flagship representing the highest combat power of the New Holy City, the captain's room of the Home is not large, and it has nothing to do with luxury - even if the owner of this captain's room, which is less than 30 square meters in theory, is
The supreme leader of the new Holy City.
The reason why it is designed like this is, firstly, because the long-term exile and difficult life have made every Kra clan people spontaneously unite together without any hierarchy, and secondly, because... this main flagship, in essence,
It is still designed for "escape" - if the fate of genocide is encountered again, the more places this ship can accommodate people, the better.
Therefore, the captain's room cannot imitate the "luxury" of the Kerong people.
But what makes the Kra people a little confused is that humans are fully capable of making the captain's cabin as luxurious and gorgeous as the so-called royal palace, but in fact, their captain's cabin is just like that...just slightly more spacious than that of ordinary crew members.
A little bit.
It can only be said that the cognitions of humans and the Kra people are indeed quite similar.
At this time, Halko was sitting on the slightly cold artificial soft leather seat, holding the red wine brought from the humans in his left hand and sipping it in small sips, while holding a ball pen in his right hand and writing continuously on the notebook.
With.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door. A moment later, human communications officer Cao Yuwei appeared at the door: "General Hai, the joint attack on the front line has begun. Do you want to take a look?"
"Oh? Can you see the battlefield?"
"Who knows?" Cao Yuwei shrugged and said with a smile: "Anyway, everyone is waiting around the window."
Halko stood up after taking a look at his watch, and drank the red wine in one sip. Seeing Cao Yuwei looking at him in surprise, he chuckled: "With a physique like mine, your low-alcohol wine is just like a drink.
.”
Cao Yuwei was startled for a moment, then laughed.
…
Just outside the captain's room is the command cabin. At this time, the command cabin was already filled with commanders from various departments of the fleet. Everyone stood in front of a transparent porthole of less than two square meters, looking at the starry sky ahead.
When designing the warship, the Kra tribe had not yet made a breakthrough in the electromagnetic field, so they were unable to reproduce the environment of a fully enclosed ship body with inscription cameras and a large screen like humans do. Instead, they used an extremely high-intensity
Highly translucent materials are used to complete optical observation of the outside world - this is actually unnecessary in combat, but is only necessary during long voyages.
As soon as Helke and Cao Yuwei appeared, the others consciously gave up their two positions.
"What is the exact distance between us and the battlefield now?" Halko turned to look at Vice Captain Dibis.
Dibis immediately replied: "819ster..."
"Speak of allied units."
"Well... that's probably... I have to do the math." Dibis couldn't help but touched his head, but it came to nothing. He could only smile and said: "Forget that we have no brains now."
Halko hummed, closed his eyes and recited silently for a few moments, then said softly: "It's about 30 million kilometers, 100 light seconds - the Allied forces' light seconds, minutes, and hours are very delicate units. You must do it in the future."
You must remember, and you must also get used to the days without Intelligent Brain in the future - Aita's computing power is much more powerful than Intelligent Brain, I think you should have seen it in the New Holy City."
Dibis took a deep look at Herko, smiled and nodded: "Indeed, it's just that I'm not used to it yet."
"Well, let's watch the fireworks."
After finishing speaking, Halko put his hands behind his back and waited for the passage of time.
300 million kilometers... Even light takes 100 seconds to travel - that is to say, even if the battle has started now, it can't be seen.
At this moment, he moved his wrist slightly, took a look and immediately put on the headphones hanging around his neck.
"Lao Hai, the first wave of strikes has been completed." Yang Wenzhi's voice came from the earphones: "I think your speed is a bit too fast. You can slow down a little and wait for our battleships to be in position first."
"No problem - what was the result?"
"Three for thirty-seven, but it was the Silver Moon Fleet that lost three ships. The casualties are still unknown. I hope their escape and escape system is useful." After a pause, Yang Wenzhi's voice came again: "The carrier personnel on your ship are more
If you have more, you should pay more attention."
"Understood, convey my tribute to Azshara for me."
"Received, the next move of the Silver Moon Fleet is to use VSC-62, which is the east jump point, to make strategic maneuvers and wait for Ursa Major and your fleet to arrive."
"Where is the enemy? I haven't started synchronizing battlefield information yet."
"The enemy's actions... there will be a tactical meeting in 10 minutes, let's discuss it." Yang Wenzhi said with a smile: "The high-dimensional detector detected a large-scale gravitational wave surge at the VSC-70 transition point.
Move, I think... it's probably their reinforcements."
After ending the communication, Herko's eyes stopped on the porthole again.
The next second, in the dark starry sky in an almost invisible and extremely distant place, a "star" hidden in the dark suddenly lit up for a moment and then quickly returned to darkness.
Just when everyone thought they were being dazzled, one after another the flashes of light kept rising, just like in the darkest night, the fireflies disappeared as soon as they lit up the lanterns.
After a moment of silence, applause began.
Halko took a deep breath, raised his hand, and looked at his wrist again.
In twelve hours, his fleet will enter the battlefield.
After slow applause, Halko turned and walked towards the conference room.
…
…
"In the first wave of strikes, although we accurately hit 37 enemy warships, we also lost three warships." In the light curtain, Yang Wenzhi, the former general staff officer of the enemy's headquarters, had a slightly solemn expression: "If only the results of the battle were achieved,
In theory, this should be a great victory, but we must clearly realize that the enemy's battleships and the earth's main battleships are equally unmanned, and their systems are even more integrated - meaning that this is a typical incident for them.
Sex Battleship.”
"And we have now clearly learned that the enemy has a huge numerical advantage compared to us... so they don't feel bad at all."
"But we are different, we still have to feel bad - especially the warships with crews on board. According to preliminary statistics just now, more than a hundred crew members of the Silver Moon Fleet have been sacrificed, especially the Oak, which was killed by the enemy's main gun.
It penetrated the entire hull from the engine department, and more than 80 people on the ship... no one was spared."
Following Yang Wenzhi's voice, everyone nodded silently.
Even Azshara, who wanted to achieve results in the first battle, calmed down after learning that the Oak was penetrated.
In a battleship duel, the most feared thing is the main gun piercing the keel, which can almost declare the entire ship to be sacrificed - so in their previous battles with the Tara tribe, their most common tactic was to engage in side engagements.
Although the main gun is abandoned, the broadside cannon on the outside of the ship can still cause considerable damage as long as it gets close.
And the biggest advantage of this is that side engagement can effectively reduce casualties - even if the side is penetrated, it will only be a large hole of a few meters. As long as the fatal part is not hit, the crew can completely rely on the life support system and escape system to survive.
.
But the tactics of humans and legions... are different - unmanned battleships allow them to choose to face the enemy head-on without considering the safety of personnel at all, giving full play to the power of the main gun.
"So, our overall operational idea next is to maneuver the Silver Moon and Sword of Vengeance fleets to look for opportunities, while our fleet will focus on frontal breakthroughs." Yang Wenzhi finished speaking in a few words and then started.
Tactical star map.
On the star map, the human warships have clearly formed a "Yi" shape. The troops are divided into three routes and are heading towards the east and north jump points, while the enemy is splitting into two routes from the previous one-shaped formation, one section heading towards the other.
It departed from the north jump point, which is the VSC-63 wormhole, and the other one made a formation change at the east jump point of VSC-62. It has changed from the previous one-word long snake formation to a targeted V.
Formation.
"But the latest battle situation is that the enemy did not pursue the Silver Moon Fleet that took the initiative to leave the battlefield, but made a U-turn. Depending on the situation, they want to avoid a head-on confrontation with Ursa Major and Ursa Minor."
"To be honest, this is indeed a bit beyond our expectations." Yang Wenzhi smiled: "I thought they were going to fight us to the death like they did before, but I didn't expect them to turn around and run away."
"But we have to realize that this is not a good thing." Yang Wenzhi quickly stopped laughing and said sternly: "Although the Enlightenment super-high-speed reconnaissance ship has rushed into the Dias 2 galaxy, no trace of the galaxy has been found.
There are enemies. But don't forget, there is also a star road in the Ivan galaxy behind us... Although... no enemies have been found there yet, but as long as the size of the enemy ships is determined, we have to consider it
The consequences of having your escape route raided.”
"You know, according to the intelligence, the enemy has dispatched at least two to three bases to deal with us this time. It is estimated that there are thousands of warships." Yang Wenzhi paused as he said: "Now, let's put ourselves in our shoes. If we
You are the executor, what should you do?”
After just a short moment of silence, a voice sounded.
"Trapped us in the Sophie Galaxy, wait until reinforcements arrive, and then annihilate us in one fell swoop."
"That's right! This should be the enemy's ultimate goal. So in terms of tactics, the enemy has only sent more than 60 warships to support the VSC-63 star gate in the north. We can follow the instructions we just received from the headquarters.
The gravitational wave surge in the Dias 1 galaxy detected by the high-dimensional detector is mutually confirmed - the enemy's 400 or so warships do not want to fight us at all, they just want to delay time until their reinforcements arrive.
"
"Increase reinforcements bit by bit, and besiege our main force here indefinitely... Then, they may attack the Milky Way through other star paths, such as the LY galaxy in the constellation Auriga."
Yang Wenzhi exhaled softly as he spoke: "So now, what are our next arrangements?"
As soon as this issue was brought up, everyone immediately stopped talking.
Helko also observes the nose with the eyes, and the mind with the nose.
Of course he still wants to have a good fight, at least to prove himself.
But mankind's "people-oriented" style... coupled with the fact that the Kerong people had just sacrificed more than a hundred people, he suddenly realized that if three of his warships that had not yet completed the unmanned adaptation were hit, the losses would be huge.
It’s too big!
In the silence, someone finally spoke up: "There are only three options, either to retreat first, or to quickly eliminate them, or to consume the enemy - then eliminate retreating first."
Olaf laughed: "If the enemy's goal is what Lao Yang said, it is obviously impossible for us to retreat."
"Then destroy them quickly. This galaxy is small to begin with. Even if they want to run away, they can't possibly go to the outer meteorite belt, right?"
"That's not necessarily true, and we can't keep chasing." Olaf pointed at his feet: "Don't forget there is this old turtle... We can only avoid the enemy's directional attacks now, but it is not completely invisible, buddy.
"
"Old turtle? Damn it...you said it was the Mercury?"
"Otherwise? It's impossible for the Mercury to follow you, right?"
Amidst everyone's chatter, Aita's voice suddenly sounded: "Commander, you have received important information from the headquarters, please check it immediately."
As soon as Aita's voice sounded, the conference room instantly became quiet, and everyone looked at Yang Wenzhi at the same time.
Halko also looked at Yang Wenzhi's projection in silence, feeling slightly uneasy in his heart.
He had stayed on the human battleship long enough to know that Aita would not easily interrupt meetings during meetings, and interrupting a meeting meant there was something particularly important - and most likely it was not good news.
Sure enough, Yang Wenzhi's expression became serious. He quickly opened the tablet and frowned after just one glance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I just received news that two Enlightenment super-fast spacecraft appeared in the galaxy leading to Auriga."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at each other and then became serious.
"It seems that the enemy's thoughts are indeed the same as our prediction."
Yang Wenzhi lowered his gaze, remained silent for a few seconds and then slowly said: "They attacked in two directions, annihilating us all the way, starting from Auriga and heading straight to our hometown."
A few seconds later, someone asked hesitantly: "Well... there is only one fleet on Lao Zeng's side, can it stop it?"
"I don't know - but we need to be aware of one thing, that is, the next ship replenishment may take care of the Auriga fleet." Yang Wenzhi frowned deeply, and soon realized that there were enemies on both sides.
What kind of strategic impact will it bring to the headquarters? There is no doubt that the Auriga side, or the LY galaxy side, must be preserved!
Because there is antimatter ore there, which is the core energy source for mankind's next generation of weapons.
The conference room became quiet again.
Looking at the quiet crowd, Halko frowned deeply. He stared at the enemy and friend positions on the star map without blinking, and a bold idea flashed in his mind.
"Everyone, I have an idea."
Everyone looked at Helko.
"Since the enemy wants to eliminate us here, then the initiative is actually in our hands..."
Before Halko finished speaking, Yang Wenzhi's eyes lit up instantly: "Drag the knife!"
Halko was slightly startled: "What?"
"Returning carbine! - As long as the enemy has the information that we are currently being attacked by two fronts and we pretend to retreat, the enemy will definitely come after us!"
Halko slowly laughed: "Yes, as long as the enemy wants to keep us, they will definitely come after us - and now is the time."
