Gao Kai returned to the Nanzhou and immediately ordered the main force to pursue it in front of everyone's puzzled eyes, leaving only a few battleships in the best condition to hold off the enemy. In addition, the severely damaged Yuzhou was also left behind.
The captains were in an uproar and asked what happened.
Gao Kai couldn't answer at all and blocked them all with "This is an order".
He is the commander of the Nanzhou Fleet Group, and he must shoulder the burden. No matter how helpless or wronged he is, he cannot complain in front of his captain.
No matter how ignorant the captains were, they also knew that there was no room for change in the pursuit. Everyone could only bury their emotions in their hearts. When the order was executed, no one dared to say no.
The army has never been a place of reason. Here there are only military orders, only obedience, and only unconditional obedience.
In peacetime, those who violate military orders will at most have to go to a military court. However, in times of war, especially if they violate military orders during combat, they will be shot on the spot and have no place to complain.
War is not a child's play, and there is no room for mercy or compromise. If you say to rush forward, you must rush forward. Even if you know that rushing forward will lead to death, you cannot retreat even half a step.
The Nanzhou fleet split into two, and the main force sped away, leaving only the six warships headed by the Yuzhou to deal with the enemy.
The alien fleet in the rear was originally determined to die, but it never expected that it would suddenly encounter such a situation, and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.
They turned from passivity into initiative and launched a fierce attack on the Yuzhou battle group. They also focused on the Yuzhou, which was in the worst condition, and pursued it fiercely.
The aliens know this is an opportunity, but they will definitely not be able to escape if they turn around and run away. The best way is to pay a small price and kill these human warships blocking the way.
The alien fleet in the Jedi counterattack used all the available forces. Even the remaining insect drones were gathered by them to serve as the vanguard and cannon fodder of the attack.
When Gao Kai left, he made it clear that the Yuzhou battle group's only mission was to hold off the enemy. As long as it dragged the Jizhou fleet to come, the Yuzhou battle group would have steadily won the battle.
He only said so much, but everyone knew that this sentence must be listened to in reverse. If anyone takes advantage of the situation and lets the enemy escape, he must be responsible for the failure of the mission.
With this major premise in mind, every warship in the Yuzhou battle group is very cautious. They try every means to deal with the enemy. No one dares to act without permission. Even if they see a chance to annihilate the enemy, they will only fire two nuclear shells at most.
Whether you can hit or not depends on luck.
In this way, the two sides reached a stalemate again. The aliens launched several strong attacks, but were blocked by the Yuzhou battle group.
Nuclear artillery shells and artillery-launched missiles played an extremely important role in the stalemate. At every critical moment, the Yuzhou Battle Group relied on nuclear bombs to turn the tide of the war... Actually, it shouldn't be said that. To be more accurate, the human fleet has always relied on nuclear bombs to conquer the world.
, the use of nuclear bombs is not news, it would be strange if they were no longer used.
The Yuzhou battle group fought fiercely, but the situation is not bad. As long as they don't seek death, they will definitely be able to wait for the Jizhou fleet group.
Gao Kai had been paying attention to the situation of the Yuzhou battle group, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
The Nanzhou fleet started too late, and the distance between them and the enemy was a little wide, and they couldn't catch up for a while. Gao Kai simply followed Huo Qiang's instructions and repaired the warships while pursuing them.
The degree of damage to various ships is not low. It takes more than a day or two to repair it. Moreover, all ships have activated solid smoke armor. The surface of the ship is covered with fragmented solid smoke. This thing plays a big role in battle.
But when it comes time for repairs, it's quite a hassle.
In order to restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Gao Kai ordered all ships to ignore armor for the time being and give priority to repairing turrets. They must restore a certain degree of combat effectiveness before engaging the enemy.
Fortunately, the Nanzhou Fleet Group was pursuing the victory, and the Jizhou Fleet Group took the lead, so the possibility of the enemy turning around and fighting for their lives was very small.
Each ship immediately mobilized all available forces. Except for the necessary personnel on duty, everyone was involved in intense emergency repairs.
Shortly after the Nanzhou fleet set off, Huo Qiang, who had been silent for a long time in the virtual command headquarters, suddenly raised his head and nodded slightly to Wu Han.
Wu Han nodded to indicate that he understood, and cleared his throat with a fake cough: "Everyone, pay attention and follow the order!" After saying that, he looked at Huo Qiang and said, "Commander, please tell me."
Huo Qiang said: "You all know the current situation. There are not many enemies on the Yuzhou side. There is no need to go over and join in the fun, Chang Zhenguo!"
"Arrived!" Chang Zhenguo, the captain of Youzhou, stood up immediately.
"You command the Youzhou battle group to turn to the left and forward. Your mission is to clear out all the alien strongholds on the road and finally block the alien fleet's retreat. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Deng Gaoyuan!"
"Arrived!" The captain of the Taizhou quickly stood up.
"You lead the Taizhou battle group to the right and forward. The mission is the same as that of the Youzhou battle group."
"yes!"
"The Jizhou battle group will continue to support the Yuzhou. There are only so many for the time being. Who has any questions?"
The venue was silent, no one spoke.
After scanning for a week, Huo Qiang said decisively: "Okay, from now on, the Youzhou and Taizhou will be under independent command. Let's adjourn the meeting."
Chang Zhenguo and Deng Gaoyuan came up to Huo Qiang and said a few words. Then they disappeared with their subordinates, leaving only the captains of the Jizhou fleet in the virtual command headquarters.
Zhuang Bo was confused and hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice: "Commander, can we block the aliens' retreat with just a few battleships?"
Three-dimensional space is not a flat sea. Even hundreds of warships, not to mention dozens of warships, cannot block the aliens' retreat.
There are fewer battleships and more space, so the so-called "secret" is a joke.
Huo Qiang said: "The key is not whether you can carry it or not, but whether you can carry it or not."
Zhuang Bo became even more confused. He thought for a while before asking again: "Commander, I have just been transferred from the Navy. I don't know much about the situation of the fleet. Is there any difference between this pocket and no pocket?"
Huo Qiang smiled slightly: "It will be kept secret for now."
Zhuang Bo felt bad and looked at Wu Han subconsciously.
Wu Han spread his hands: "Don't look at me, I don't know either."
Zhuang Bo was even more confused. There were only three of the fleet's senior officials aboard the Jizhou, plus at most one deputy chief of staff. The rest were all in Beiyuezhou.
At present, Huo Qiang, the deputy commander and chief of staff, is kept in the dark, and others must be even less aware of the situation.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt strange, but seeing Huo Qiang's attitude, Zhuang Bo couldn't ask more questions. In the end, he could only stare at Huo Qiang with doubtful eyes, hoping to see some clues from Huo Qiang's face, but in the end
He was still disappointed.
Zhuang Bo is an old man and a good man, but he is far behind compared to Huo Qiang. It would be strange if Huo Qiang could make him see something.
