The battle came and went quickly. After the enemy ship entered the firing range of the Ningwuguan, the naval guns opened fire immediately, pouring shells at the enemy at a maximum speed of one round every 1.5 seconds.
The flame when the naval gun fired was very small, but it still could not escape the eyes of the aliens. When they discovered that the Ningwuguan was still able to fight back, the aliens immediately lost their composure and opened fire on the Ningwuguan without hesitation.
The few remaining super insect cannons fired at the same time, and several beams of light hit the Ningwuguan at the same time, destroying half of the battleship instantly. The Ningwuguan completely lost the ability to fight back and became a lamb to be slaughtered.
Lin Yi felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. He couldn't explain what it was like, but he was very relieved because the enemy's gunfire only destroyed the stern of the ship and did not affect the inner layers.
Maybe the aliens ran out of super bug cannons, maybe the aliens had other plans, but in short they didn't completely destroy the Ningwuguan.
A few minutes later, an alien warship approached the Ningwuguan and triggered the self-destruction procedure. The remaining half of the warship was reduced to powder in the violent nuclear explosion.
Lin Yi closed his eyes silently, and his originally bad mood suddenly deteriorated to the extreme.
Wang Yang wasn't much better. Even though he said he was calm and calm, how could he really not care at all?
There was a rare silence in the lifeboat, and the two people flew away with the lifeboat in silence.
More than half an hour later, the expeditionary force flagship.
Duan Zhiyang was working on documents in the narrow captain's room when he suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door. He said without raising his head: "Come in!"
The cabin door opened, and Chief of Staff Ma Junwei came in and said solemnly: "Commander, we just received news about Ningwuguan..."
Duan Zhiyang raised his head, saw Ma Junwei's expression clearly, and immediately had a bad feeling: "What happened?"
Ma Junwei said: "Lin Yi blew up the comet, and it was full of enemy ships."
Duan Zhiyang's heart skipped a beat: "How is Ningwuguan?"
"Prepare to fight to the death." Ma Junwei said.
Duan Zhiyang threw away the tablet in his hand, looked up at the ceiling, and stared blankly for a few seconds before saying quietly: "I shouldn't have let Ning Wuguan pass!"
Ma Junwei advised: "Ningwuguan has done a very good job. Now that we know there is a problem with Comet, we will not make the same mistake again if we encounter a similar situation."
Duan Zhiyang took a deep breath: "Is there still hope in Ningwuguan?"
"The situation is very unfavorable, but everyone should be evacuated!"
Duan Zhiyang pursed his lips tightly: "What a blessing among misfortunes... Where is the warship closest to Ningwuguan?"
"The nearest warship of ours is outside the two defense zones. It would take half a month to get there at the fastest. Moreover, each ship has its own mission and cannot be dispatched for a while." Ma Junwei said helplessly, "And the remaining
The enemy ships have not left yet, and there is simply no time."
Duan Zhiyang rubbed his temples angrily: "If only 003 hadn't been delayed!"
If the aliens had not attacked Mercury, Ye Han would have rushed over with 003. With an extra super battleship to share the pressure, Duan Zhiyang would have been able to spare one or two battleships.
Ma Junwei said: "Commander, can you please ask the Jupiter fleet for support?"
Duan Zhiyang gritted his teeth and shook his head: "The pressure over there is greater than ours, and Jupiter is the enemy's key target. If there is a loophole due to the deployment of warships, then we will be the sinners of all mankind."
The jar cannot be broken without leaving the well. Duan Zhiyang must consider the overall situation. Only on the premise that it does not affect the battle situation can he deploy warships to carry out rescue.
Ma Junwei asked for instructions: "I suggest that it is best not to send gunboats there. It is best for us or the Chentang to make a trip."
Duan Zhiyang continued to shake his head: "Chentang is too far away, it's up to us... let us know and seize the time to deal with the enemy. The faster we go, the more brothers we can rescue!"
"yes!"
After another ten minutes, Ye Han received the latest battle report forwarded by Beiyuezhou and saw the news about Ningwuguan.
Thinking of Lin Yi and the bridge officers on the Ningwuguan, Ye Han was silent for a long time.
He really wanted to know how Lin Yi was doing, but it wasn't mentioned in the battle report. Ye Han's heart felt like it was hanging in the air, with no where to go.
Ye Han can't wait to set sail for the asteroid belt now, but it will take another week for the Lone Wolf to be completely repaired... Modular battleships are very simple to repair. As long as the damaged armor is replaced with good armor modules, the repair is completed.
However, most of the Lone Wolf's armor was damaged, 80% of the ship's reactive armor exploded, and one-third of the outer armor was damaged to varying degrees. There is so much armor that needs to be replaced, even if Beichenzhou supplies it with all its strength, it will take some time.
Finish.
In addition to armor, replenishing supplies also takes time.
Not only that, this battle also exposed a weakness of the Lone Wolf, that is, the reactive armor is not powerful enough, and it is very difficult to deal with the impact of the round-headed alien warship, which often damages the outer armor.
It was definitely too late to redesign new armor, but Ye Han and Zhe Zhipeng discussed it several times and made the decision to install double-layer reactive armor on the Lone Wolf, which also took some time.
Moreover, Ye Han received an order from Beiyuezhou two days ago, requiring the Lone Wolf to return to Earth after repair and bring a batch of nuclear bombs, nuclear fuel and other scarce supplies to the expeditionary force to supplement the expeditionary force's combat consumption.
Everything takes time. Even Ye Han can't tell when he can leave. He can only urge Beichenzhou again and again.
Zhe Zhipeng almost drove Ye Han crazy. The entire Beichen Continent worked in three shifts 24 hours a day, and all the power that could be devoted to the restoration project was used. However, the objective conditions were there. No matter how fast it would be, it would
It has become shoddy and the progress cannot be any faster.
Bei Yuezhou also has a headache.
After receiving the news, Wu Han felt completely bad.
As the commander-in-chief of the space fleet, the number of space battleships sunk during his tenure was definitely not one or two. However, the loss of a super gunboat at this juncture would be an irreparable loss for the entire expeditionary force. It is very likely that
will affect subsequent combat operations.
At this time, Deputy Commander Luo Chao and Chief of Staff Zhang Zhiyong arrived together. Wu Han asked the two people to sit down, briefly introduced the situation, and finally concluded: "The situation is very unfavorable to the expeditionary force. Let me know what your opinions are."
Luo Chao knocked on the table: "We must think of a counterattack and teach the enemy a profound lesson!"
Zhang Zhiyong said: "I agree with Deputy Commander Luo's opinion!"
Both of them had recently adjusted their positions, and both seemed to be new officials. However, Zhang Zhiyong knew his position very well and would never steal Luo Chao's limelight.
Wu Han said: "Don't shout slogans, be specific."
In the past, he would have spoken more tactfully, but today he was not in that mood.
