Ye Xiaozhou was the first to be alert and make a decisive decision to have his "Zhao Yun" destroyer leave the dock to evade. He was also avoiding several starships such as "Han Shizhong" and "Liu Qi" nearby. The energy shield of the monitoring station also
It helped them withstand most of the bombardment, so they still retained their combat effectiveness.
"Open the missile gates numbered one to forty for me! Charge the main gun and prepare for close combat!" Ye Xiaozhou almost rushed from the lower engine room to the upper bridge of the starship in the bumps, raising his head and shouting,
"Energy output takes time. The enemy's volleys like before will never happen again! They will send forwards to harvest! ... We can still fight and let them taste our power!" At the same time, the monitoring station was connected.
, "Commander, how are you doing? Please reply!"
Ye Xiaozhou's judgment was very accurate. For the enemy, a salvo against the Southwest Federation starships, which were far smaller than their fleet, was already a luxury. The purpose was to dismantle the defense of these starships that were still in the dock.
The possibility of another covering volley was slim.
But the opponent's forward fleet was already like a swarm of tiger sharks in the ocean that moved at the sight of blood, standing out from the crowd and coming in groups!
The large-caliber orbital escort guns still in orbit around the monitoring station fired back. Several of the enemy's forward Arctic-class assault ships were hit by crossfire, disintegrated, and exploded.
The leader is an Atlantic-class destroyer, which is obviously one of the main ships of the Black Hawk fleet. The energy shield of the Atlantic-class ship is much stronger than that of the Arctic Ocean-class, so the orbital cannon fired several times to make the Atlantic-class destroyer.
The energy shield turned dangerous red, but still failed to break through their defense!
After the remaining rail guns fired a salvo, they re-entered charging mode, and the opponent's main gun was obviously at the end of charging. If there was another salvo, it was no longer a matter of thinking how many people here would be alive.
!But they can at least leave the dignity of the Federation here.
Faced with a surprise attack by a superior enemy, they did not run away, they resisted.
The "Zhao Yun" and the other two frigates that had a chance to escape stood in front of a monitoring station that was much larger than their ships, firing photon missiles with all their strength.
But the other party had equally rich combat experience, and fired back a larger number of photon missiles. The missile groups criss-crossed in the endless void, and then one or several of them collided due to electromagnetic attraction, causing a violent explosion, which was terrifying.
A fireball suddenly appeared in the void, causing a round of explosions.
It was like a wall of fire suddenly appeared in the void between the Black Hawk fleet and the monitoring station. Energy waves invisible to the naked eye escaped in the void. Only when the meteorites passing near that area quietly turned into powder, could
You will know how amazingly powerful the weapons created by human civilization are.
That is one of the ways of anti-photon missiles to fight the enemy. It does not require precise one-on-one combat. It relies on more missile storage to form an airtight fire zone, and uses the energy wave formed by the explosion to shock all incoming missiles.
burst.
Obviously, not to mention the opponent's fleet of dozens of ships, the ten starships in the vanguard alone were no longer able to withstand the three starships including the monitoring station and Ye Xiaozhou.
This situation is even more dangerous than when Ye Xiaozhou faced Miyamoto Tsuyoshi's illustrious reputation on Lafite Planet. At that time, although they were also defeated, they still had a Dawn military base. Even so.
Even if Miyamoto wanted to break in, he would have to pay a high price.
But now, what can he do?
On the bridge of the "Zhao Yun", the faces of many officers who were as young as their commander were already as white as snow.
Ye Xiaozhou sighed in his heart. The officers under his command were much worse in psychological quality than the soldiers at Shuguang Military Base where he was originally. At that time, although they were also afraid, they still stood firmly and fearlessly on the line of defense.
At the forefront, unlike them, the movements are a bit stiff.
Of course, he didn't blame them. Because many of them had never been on the battlefield, and some of them were trainee officers like Wen Beinan who went directly from the academy to starships. As long as they were given one or two real interviews,
Given the learning opportunities on the battlefield, Ye Xiaozhou believes that his group of disciples will become calm and fearless when they face such a crisis again.
However, their luck was so bad that they encountered such a dead-end question in their first exam.
But no matter what, if you know you will fail in the exam, you still have to take it, right?
Ye Xiaozhou looked at the monitoring station in the split screen. The monitoring station suffered heavy damage in the first wave of fire attack by the enemy fleet. The eight-kilometer long body was already covered with scars, and there were countless shocking holes like
Many of the rotting wounds on the human body are still spitting out flames and blue arcs of light, as if they will disintegrate after a while without any more cannon fire.
But he knew that the commander of the monitoring station was definitely a fierce man in the past, and his ship maneuvering skills were definitely not inferior to the newcomers like them. Just look at the devastating salvo he faced just now, and with such a huge body in the base dock,
, carried out extremely subtle evasion. Although he was hit, several of the opponent's beams chasing the command center at the top of the monitoring station were dodged. Therefore, although the monitoring station was seriously damaged at this time, Ye Xiaozhou knew that the joker
The Colonel Commander is still alive.
The image of the colonel commander appeared on the light screen at Ye Xiaozhou's call. Although the face of a middle-aged man in his forties was a little ugly, he could still smile at him calmly, "Since the other party is the notorious Eagle Empire,
The Black Hawk Mercenary Group, then this must be their company's first fleet. The fleet is modeled after the main fleet of the Great Eagle Empire, with Pacific-class carriers, Pacific-class battleships, Atlantic-class cruisers and even fire support ships. If I
If your guess is correct, their commander is Francis, the third person in the Black Hawk Company known as the Butcher. You are no match for them, so leave quickly!"
Seeing the hesitation on Ye Xiaozhou's face, the middle-aged colonel raised his brows, "According to the federal military law, in wartime, the highest-ranking army of different ranks has unified command authority. In the name of the supreme commander, I order you to go!"
"
Then the image was fixed on the stern expression of the middle-aged colonel officer with gray hair wearing a federal military cap, and the scene suddenly stopped and seemed a bit ridiculous.
The three starships blocking the monitoring station saw a sudden blackness above their heads, and a huge shadow floated past. The monitoring station activated its final push and rotated to block its body in front of them.
Then, the opponent's second salvo started.
Countless pale red rays of destruction hit the "Zhao Yun", "Han Shizhong", "Liu Qi", including the escape ships and other remaining Southwest Federation starships, which used their bodies to cover their monitoring stations.
Numerous big holes appeared in the monitoring station, explosions occurred from everywhere, and it began to collapse.
"Commander!"
"Search for the escape capsule launched by the monitoring station!"
.....
There was silence. Except for large metal fragments, none of the scanners on our side could return the federal military's special identification code.
"There is no escape hatch! None of the crew members above escaped... they died for us!"
Everyone clenched their fists angrily and helplessly, looking at the scene in front of them.
"Revenge, we want revenge!"
At this moment, the paleness on the faces of the young officers had disappeared, replaced by a blush of extreme grief and anger.
Sometimes, this is how people overcome their instinctive fear of death, because it is the last shining legacy of life.
If a nation chooses to let others die and lives by itself, then such a nation will have been eliminated by nature long ago.
Fortunately, the Chinese are not.
In the most critical times, there are always some brave people who will stand up. Their role even goes beyond the concept of protection, but to pass on bravery.
For vulnerable people, death is the end, but for some, death is just the beginning.
Ye Xiaozhou punched the command seat hard, and Ye Xiaozhou's voice echoed throughout the bridge.
"Tell the Han Shizhong and Liu Qi that we evacuate! The commander of the monitoring station and all the crew members of the monitoring station took the beating for us, just so that we can leave some warships for the Federation to resist their invasion! We will withdraw first and notify the Federation
Get ready, gather our fleets and take revenge! This is our country and we will make them pay."
"yes!"
"But I want to do something for the commander!" Ye Xiaozhou's cold, but obviously uncontrollable voice came from the bridge.
"Before everyone speeds up the evacuation, please do me a favor and give me a covering shot... I want to do something for the commander!"
"Received, but Lieutenant Colonel Ye, the enemy's forward is already close to 10,000 kilometers away. If you don't leave, it will be difficult for you to escape their pursuit." The face of the Lieutenant Colonel Han Shizhong and the captain appeared on the bridge screen of the Zhao Yun.
"I know, but there are some things that you have to do." Ye Xiaozhou raised his arm and solemnly saluted the lieutenant colonel and captain at the same level as himself. "This is a request, not an order!"
"Okay! See you at the rear base!" the lieutenant colonel and captain replied with a somewhat sad expression.
He didn't know if he and the young lieutenant colonel would ever see each other again. Perhaps, he knew very well in his heart that this was just a word to comfort himself.
The image on the screen gradually fades.
Under the disintegrated huge body of the monitoring station, the two frigates turned around like two fish swimming in the darkness and evacuated into the distant void. Before leaving, they fired all the photon missiles in their inventory, except those located on the ship.
The bow's main gun and all its secondary guns worked hard to spit out blazing flames, firing towards the approaching fleet in the distance.
The Zhao Yun, on the other hand, did not escape into the distance. Instead, the starship plunged into the starry sky below without hesitation, as if it was about to dive into a deeper sea.
"It's so vulnerable!"
Among the vanguard of the Black Hawk mercenary fleet cruising out, inside the Atlantic-class destroyer, there was a tough man with a big bald head, dark skin, like an iron tower, and a gloomy and ferocious expression reflected from the brown eyes on the dark skin.
Looking at the huge monitoring station that was constantly collapsing, a trace of disdain curled at the corner of his mouth.
