Chapter 1551 Human Shield (first update to celebrate the cute leader Dou Batian)
For Alliance warships, three division-level fleets are enough to contend with the opponent for a while.
If we hadn't considered that the opposite team might be the Digital Phantom, two division-level fleets would be completely sufficient.
It's not that they underestimated the imperial army. If they really wanted to attack Kochi, seven or eight divisions would not be enough.
When fighting at home, the most fearless thing is the competition of military strength.
They also believe that the imperial army cannot be so stupid - Kochi not only has many soldiers and generals, but also has a lot of equipment.
If necessary, they can summon fifty divisions of reserves and local troops in a short period of time.
As for the battleships and weapons needed? That's not even a problem.
Therefore, they determined that the opponent should still focus on harassment and not have too many troops.
Considering that it is very likely that the Digital Phantom is leading the team, there may not be anyone inside so many enemy warships.
In any case, it is still necessary to prepare more troops, and the follow-up troops must be able to keep up.
However, the most important thing is that when fighting at home, even if the opponent can capture many starships and officers and soldiers, they may not be able to escape.
Once our own side becomes anxious, more than a dozen divisions will swarm forward and swarm the opponent to death.
Another crucial point is that although we are facing the enemy in space, we must also prevent the enemy from causing damage on the ground.
The Digital Phantoms have done this before, and it is said that they have mastered the secret of near-earth jump.
Fortunately, Kochi is a military star. If he wants to be placed under military control, he can do it with just one order.
The Alliance military is even thinking about how to capture several members of the Digital Phantom to explore the secrets of this team.
As a key military star, the Kochi Military District has the confidence to think about this - even if it sounds a bit incredible.
However, their calculations were good, but when they saw the small ship that was leading the charge, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
These are all standard warships of the alliance, but what we have to do now is to destroy them!
At this moment, they could finally understand the feelings of other friendly forces - it was really heartbreaking.
Fortunately, they were all unmanned. Although they caused considerable damage to our own side, if they were destroyed, it would be over.
The alliance's warships have also implemented targeted plans and cut various control systems.
Such an operation cannot completely prevent the invasion of enemy artificial intelligence, but it can greatly slow down the efficiency of the invasion.
As long as we can seize the time and defeat the enemy, everything will be within reach.
However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Battleships controlled by artificial intelligence are really not ordinary difficult to deal with.
The first to engage in battle was the fleet facing the enemy in the center, where the main force of a division of the Alliance was located.
Not long after the battle began, the warships of the Alliance fleet were damaged one after another.
The damage was caused only by the small ship at the front, which not only had powerful attacks, but also moved in an erratic and slippery manner.
Before the alliance had finished clearing out the small ships, company-level ships and battalion-level ships rushed across from them.
Looking at the sequence of these battleships, they turned out to be the own battleships of the Kochi Military District - all starships that had lost contact a while ago.
When the military commander saw this, he suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Attack the battleship first!"
Small ships are really difficult to deal with. Although the battleships move erratically, they are bigger and slower.
As for strong defense... that's useless, the Alliance fleet facing them is really not bad at warships.
However, after a while of fighting, the main damage was still done to the Alliance warships.
Fortunately, their follow-up force was sufficient. After all the concentrated fire, they finally severely damaged an already damaged battalion-level ship.
However, although the power of this battalion-class ship was greatly reduced, it was still attacking tenaciously.
"Destroy it completely," the military commander ordered coldly, "this is no longer our warship."
Soon, the battalion-class ship was caught on fire, and many life-saving cabins popped out of it.
When they saw the shape of the rescue capsule, the expressions of many Alliance soldiers changed, "Asshole, that's..."
The life-saving capsules were standard for the Alliance military. A small ship immediately rushed over and brought back two life-saving capsules.
Sure enough, the most worrying thing happened: inside the rescue cabin, there were two tied up Alliance soldiers!
"Using prisoners of war as shields..." The Alliance soldier was so angry that his teeth were itching, "How can you be so shameless?"
In fact, in the history of human war, this is nothing. Examples of using civilians as shields or even as food are not uncommon.
But no matter what, human beings have now entered the era of interstellar civilization, and this method is really a bit dirty.
What they didn't know was that the person who made the suggestion was Hua Scorpion, who had truly emerged from a cannibalistic society.
Qu Jianlei supported her proposal. We are now behind enemy lines and it is inconvenient to send prisoners back frequently, which is itself a burden.
The Digital Phantom informed the imperial officers and soldiers of the decision, and similarly, the soldiers had no intention of objecting at all.
In the past few years, cannibalism also occurred on the Empire's Hope 4 star.
Could it be that the tragic experiences of those people were caused by the Alliance and the Federation?
Don't complain about what others have done, ask yourself what you have done first.
??????????.??????
However, after such changes occurred, although the alliance soldiers were denounced, their morale was inevitably affected.
It must be admitted that in terms of bloodiness, the Alliance really cannot keep up with the Empire. If left to the Empire, they would definitely not be affected.
The battle was extremely stalemate, but there were really not many imperial-style warships that appeared, mainly captured warships.
Qu Jianlei and the others did not capture many battleships on Keqi Planet. Most of the captured starships were still on the previous battlefield.
However, under the siege of Alliance warships, their losses were also increasing bit by bit.
The alliance suffered more losses, but they replenished their supplies quickly, so they decided to fight hard to consume.
Until an Alliance warship was destroyed, a small invasion ship carried the warship and flew deep into space.
The Alliance wants to rescue, but it is really... powerless!
Seeing their comrades being snatched away by the other side, the alliance soldiers couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Let's attack in full force."
There is no doubt that the comrades who have just been captured will become new human shields.
This is really unbearable. The comrades who were fighting side by side one moment have become the opponent's talisman in the blink of an eye!
"Call the other party!" the commander spoke through gritted teeth. "Ask them what they want to do. Aren't you worried about public condemnation?"
From the beginning of the battle to now, the two sides have actually not spoken at all.
Qu Jianlei and the others were not interested in dialogue, and the Alliance did not have the guts to dialogue - once dialogue was initiated, the warship would definitely be invaded.
But now, the alliance really doesn't have much to worry about anymore. It has to figure out the other party's purpose and why it does things so unrestrictedly.
A patrol ship hid in the rear and took the initiative to call the other party. It was also protected by a battleship.
With such a long distance, even if the other party invades the small ship, it is impossible to capture the starship.
Facing their questions, the imperial military colonel said coldly: Are you worthy of saying that we have no lower limit?
Trying to lure aliens to the empire, but who will do it?
At that time, we were doing a good job of beggar-thy-neighbor without any guilt, but now you actually have the nerve to accuse us?
Facing the enemy's strength, the alliance commander was at a loss when suddenly news came that multiple enemy fleets had appeared in other directions.
The alliance troops are currently exchanging fire with each other. I feel extremely stressed.
Those fleets are quite powerful. Not only do they have artificial intelligence, they also have prisoners of the Alliance military on board.
To put it more clearly: the two wings of the alliance military are under heavy pressure and will soon be unable to bear it.
So now we need to make a decision: should we increase our troops or retreat?
The middle position is currently the main battlefield, and the Alliance has invested the most troops. They decide to retreat, and they will evacuate in other directions.
Otherwise, if both sides withdraw and the fleet in the middle is dumped at home, that would be a great shame and humiliation!
The commander of the alliance's middle fleet pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Retreat, and retreat to the outside of the sky in an orderly manner!"
The canopy is the defense network of a habitable star. Once there, you can get support from ground weapons.
Even outside the sky, the planet's space-based weapons are within reach.
By retreating appropriately, you will not only receive strong fire support, but the distance to treat the soldiers will also be shortened and the efficiency will be higher.
There is a saying in the league, "If you withdraw your arm, it will hurt more when you hit someone." There is no shame in contracting your strength appropriately.
What is particularly critical is that they have not discovered the Digital Phantom's division-class ship so far.
There must be a reason for this, so retreating a little appropriately will be more conducive to adapting to the situation.
However, as they retreated, some of the warships were damaged and the soldiers on board were unable to rescue them in time.
However, the commander of the alliance army is still determined.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat first and let them just worry about it. Sooner or later we will avenge the warriors of the Alliance!"
The entire evacuation process lasted for a day. The distance was obviously not too far, but the opponent's bite was too tight.
As soon as they retreated to their position, they discovered a new situation - a digital phantom regiment-level ship appeared in the middle army!
This is the second-largest existence in the Digital Phantom second only to the division-level ship. The alliance military’s evaluation of it is: it is as good as a division-level ship!
With the emergence of regiment-level ships, the combat power of imperial battleships has been significantly improved.
It can be seen that artificial intelligence is really related to space - if the space is large enough, it can be equipped with more powerful computing power.
It's not like the alliance doesn't have ways to deal with it, but in this current position, it's a bit embarrassing.
"This distance...isn't it within reach of the Battlestar?"
"It is possible to obtain enough, but the power will be greatly reduced. The military region believes that it is best not to alert the snake."
"What the hell do you need to worry about? As long as the other party doesn't come to die, how can it not be considered a battle fortress?"
"But the weapon configuration of the battle fortress is also different. What the military region means is, why let them know in advance?"
"I'd have arrived a long time ago, otherwise, would I have chosen such a perfect location?"
