The flames of war suddenly burned the entire N77 war zone, and all the federal legions rushed out to search and capture traces of the Ninth Fleet. It’s just that the star field is too vast. In such a huge war zone, human starships may not have planets.
There are a lot of them. Most of the time is spent in boring and long searching and chasing.
One of the two mobile bases of the Ninth Fleet was finally discovered by the Federation, and they fought and retreated. The two sides fought fiercely around the galaxy for several days, and the battlefield stretched for thousands of light seconds. In the end, due to the huge disparity in strength, the battle with the mobile base was
The capital ship was severely damaged and had to make an emergency jump along with the mobile base and leave the war zone.
The mobile fleet they left to contain the federal fleet was completely wiped out.
The situation of the mobile base Qingping was slightly better, and it was not surrounded, but its whereabouts had been exposed. Different from the strategy of its companions, Qingping sent out all mobile troops to either expel or kill the federal fleet that was following around.
As a result, the mobile base itself was almost undefended. Lu Queyun kept the base moving at high speed, relying only on the firepower of the base itself to defend against possible federal starships.
Perhaps thanks to Lin Xi's departure, the base saved the supplies that belonged to her. High-speed movement consumes a lot of energy, and the base has very little energy reserves.
Moreover, Lin Xi not only left by herself, but also took away several starships. Later, news came that Lin Xi and her fleet had found additional supplies, which were said to be quite sufficient. In the past month, Lin Xi also made excuses
Two destroyers were sent back to the base and brought back hundreds of fully loaded energy capsules.
This matter was suppressed by Lu Queyun, and only a few people knew about it. Without this batch of energy, it is difficult to say whether Qingping can support the current maneuver.
Now Lu Queyun has even sent out the battleships to fight independently, which is already a desperate move. He just wants to delay time, disrupt the federal deployment, and then move the mobile base to an unknown corner to start a new round of guerrilla warfare.
.
Until now, Lu Queyun has persisted longer than everyone expected. Even if he is forced to retreat, no one can say anything. However, although Lu Queyun is not so amazing in marching and fighting, his resilience is extraordinary.
He has made up his mind to persevere until the end. As long as he continues to fight, miracles may happen.
Lu Queyun spent all his main force on attacking the Federation's high-speed mobile troops, hoping that the opponent's mobile troops would be insufficient to lay a serious enough encirclement.
But not everyone agreed with his opinion. At this moment, several generals were arguing in the base command room, and the atmosphere was very tense.
Lu Queyun was sitting in the center, smoking cigarettes one after another. This kind of pure natural tobacco is very rare and is only a hobby of a few people. The lieutenant general's eyes were sunken and he had lost weight. He
He held his face with one hand, and his broad palm covered most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression.
A major general's eyes were bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't slept for an unknown amount of time. He was excited, waving his fists, and said loudly: "This is a gamble! The opponent's military strength is four times ours, and another mobile base has already been
Retreat, the troops chasing them will soon be mobilized to hunt us. It is impossible for us alone to resist so many enemies!"
"What do you mean?" asked another general.
The major general paused, his voice was a little low, and said: "Gather the troops and jump immediately..."
It was very difficult to say this sentence. After finishing speaking, the major general seemed to have lost a lot of strength and leaned on the back of his chair.
There was sudden silence in the command room. After a while, a general said: "If we jump now, Colonel Lin and her people will be left here. Without us, the Federation will hunt them with all their strength. I don't need to say what happens next.
Bar?"
"The colonel chose to leave the base on her own, and now she has lost contact. This responsibility should also be borne by her. In normal times, it would be nothing, but now the situation is so urgent. If we don't leave her, how can we let the entire base, one battleship, and three ships
Will the heavy cruiser and more than 20 other starships be buried with her? Another point is that even if we stay and persist until the end, we may not be able to change the situation of the war. It is not that it may not be possible, but it will definitely not be changed!” The major general still insisted on his opinion,
And his words also silenced some people who wanted to speak again.
At this time, Lu Queyun finally spoke and asked someone who surprised everyone, "General Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Zannian's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he always looked like he couldn't wake up. When Lu Queyun asked, many generals looked a little unhappy. Everyone here knew very well why Lin Xi left the base and acted alone.
, Lieutenant General asked Xu Zannian, is there any need to explain the intention?
Xu Zannian didn't seem to expect that the question would be asked of him. He finally got a little angry, coughed a few times, and said slowly at a speed that made people want to punch him, "Lin Xi"
The colonel left the establishment without permission, did not obey orders, and looted military supplies. This constituted treason according to military law..."
A general snorted heavily and looked at Xu Zannian with an unkind look.
Xu Zannian ignored the many murderous looks around him and continued: "However, as long as Colonel Lin is not convicted by the military court, she will still be a member of the Ninth Fleet. Our tradition does not seem to include abandoning comrades.
.”
This turn of events was a bit sudden, and the generals all looked at Xu Zannian in astonishment. Xu Zannian slowly added, "To be precise, I mean, we must at least contact Colonel Lin Xi, and
Provide a feasible rendezvous or evacuation plan before leaving."
Lu Queyun said at this time: "Okay, everyone has said almost everything they want to say. How many high-speed mobile troops does the enemy have now? Is there any latest information?"
The intelligence director said: "According to current statistics, the enemy's high-speed mobile forces in the theater include 11 heavy cruisers, 85 destroyers, and several frigates. The minimum number required to form a perfect reconnaissance and encirclement network for us is 8 heavy cruisers, 8 destroyers
72 ships. Considering that some important bases require separate garrisoning and temporary support, the number of heavy cruisers that the enemy can use now should be 9."
"Nine ships..." Lu Queyun's eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter.
The chief of staff next to him knew what he was worried about and said: "If I were an opponent, I would not dispatch all the heavy patrols to besiege our capital ships. What we are facing is not a force directly under the federal government, but a semi-private family army.
Besieging a capital ship will inevitably result in losses, so the question is, whose loss will it be? A heavy cruiser is not something that just any family can look down upon."
Lu Queyun's face looked a little better. At this moment, the virtual screen in front of him suddenly flashed, and an urgent message appeared.
The intelligence manager also received the intelligence, opened it and said in a voiceless voice: "The enemy's 3rd mobile fleet in the theater has lost contact?"
