The star fleet continued to fly through the void, and starships kept asking to merge along the way.
All this reached its climax after the main force of the independent fleet jumped out from the artificial jump point.
The Independent Fleet not only possesses more federal-standard starships than people imagined, but also has hundreds of small assault ships. They are the air pirate coalition forces in the Meteor Star Region. After receiving the summons from the "Green Forest Alliance Leader" sent by Tang Lang a few days ago,
After the order, without any delay, according to the coordinates of the space jump point provided by Tang Lang, he jumped into the territory of the Federation. Under the deliberate care of the big boss of the Southwest Military Region, the journey was smooth and finally reunited with the main force of the independent fleet led by Jiang Cheng.
In the public communication channel of the fleet, there was constant communication with each other reporting their origins and exchanging greetings.
The entire fleet was filled with a kind of momentum and pride as the ships rushed to fight.
Although the starships marching three thousand miles apart were majestic, the top battleship commanders of the entire fleet were not overwhelmed by all this.
In the communication channel of the temporarily constructed command center, the top commanders of the Phoenix, Li Xiangli, Zhao Yun, Yu Qian and other fleets and other organized captains from various planetary starships studied the combat strategy all night long.
Although these captains came from various forces in the Tianquan Galaxy, after their initial impulse, they would inevitably consider the current situation.
Now the biggest problem of the "Tianquan Galaxy Joint Defense Fleet" with Tang Lang as the commander is no longer the number of starships. If we look at the number of starships alone, up to 100,000 starships will definitely kill any country's main fleet in an instant.
The main problem lies in the loose structure and lack of training cooperation. Although coordinated formation has been carried out, medium and large combat ships are used as units to command a group of support ships, firepower ships, and assault ships as the basic fleet group. But after all, it is a new formation and is only moving.
A simple test of cooperation and command was carried out. However, when faced with an elite fleet of well-trained mercenaries and a cosmic battlefield with high interference from electronic warfare in the command system, will the various groups of the combined fleet still be able to cooperate at that time?
Now at first glance, the entire fleet is quite spectacular. The various ships are like a military parade. This scene should be frozen in an oil painting in a starship museum, or hung in the bedroom of a boy who dreams of being a soldier, but it may not be suitable for this.
A war.
Assisted fire defense, interspersed assaults, arc harassment, and various tactical formulations and coordination all require constant drills. The combat capabilities, sustained combat capabilities, and endurance of the fleet assembled in this way are not affected by some people who are still clear-headed.
The captain is optimistic about it.
Especially when I think about the fact that the fleet includes regular troops, second-line security forces, caravan escorts, armed smuggling ships, and even air pirates who inexplicably come from the dark starry sky. Black and white are intertwined, fish and dragons are mixed, and the complexity of the personnel composition is probably beyond the thousands of years of the history of the Federation.
At the end of the day, not to mention the heads of the senior leaders of the United Fleet were aching, but everyone themselves was a little uneasy!
"Although the First Fleet cannot yet provide specific information on the size of the two mercenary fleets hiding in the dark and the data on their main starships, from Francis, we have obtained the approximate star areas of the two mercenary fleets hiding in the dark. Now
Many captains of the combined fleet generally believe that our warships should rush to the corresponding space channel of Sunset Gorge as early as possible to set up an ambush, take advantage of the mercenary fleet's unpreparedness, launch a surprise attack in a way that the mercenary fleet is behind, and eat the mercenary fleet." Tang Lang took the initiative to assume the role.
Mingyue Shang, the staff adjutant, suggested.
"But our recruitment order to the entire Tianquan Galaxy is a variable. They think that if the mercenary fleet is prepared because of the spy lurking in the federation, or simply uses the 1st fleet as their bait, they will come to encirclement
If they call for reinforcements, then it is very likely that we will face a trap, or enter an unfavorable environment where we have to fight them head-on."
"These emotions have generally spread to the upper echelons of the Combined Fleet. It's not that they are unconfident in you, it's just that these people are very experienced ship commanders and are well aware of the dangers of space operations. Now they suggest that you issue an order for the fleet to move forward at full speed, as appropriate
We can just leave behind some small ships that are not fast enough and let them arrive at the battlefield later. The top priority is to seize the opportunity."
Tang Lang, who was wearing a general officer's uniform, sat beside the three-dimensional starry sky projection table in the Phoenix's combat conference room. He looked very different from the restless captains in the combat conference and raised his eyebrows.
"Do they think that our advance speed does not look like we are going to fight a decisive battle? Or do they think that I am just showing off? Even if the first fleet is destroyed, I will not be able to reach the battlefield in time because I have to gather troops, and it will not affect my status.
?" Tang Lang curled his lips slightly.
"They all came after your summons. At any rate, you have to attend several combat meetings to stabilize their military morale." Mingyue Shang expressed his views skillfully from the side.
In fact, among the several combat meetings that lasted more than an hour, Tang Lang, the highest commander, only attended one of them, and he just said hello briefly and left. Basically, it was Major General Jiang Cheng and Major General Shen Chengfeng.
The two of them were hosting, and they were so lazy that even Mingyue Shang, who was attending the video conference on his behalf, couldn't stand it anymore.
After all, Tang Lang had only proven his talent in mecha control, but this was starship group combat, an area he rarely set foot in. Listening to the opinions of those senior captains, at least he would make fewer mistakes!
"I'm only interested in a few female captains who look young, promising and beautiful. What are their names? Sister Bai? Or who is that, Aoi... Oops, are you kidding me?
You're so polite to give me apples to eat." Tang Lang stretched out his hand and caught the apple that Ming Yueshang from the opposite side rolled his eyes and threw at him.
"Do you think the confession of that unfortunate Francis is credible?" Tang Lang asked as he took a big bite of the apple.
When Tang Lang mentioned Francis, Mingyue Shang couldn't help but smile, "What exactly did you do to him? The son of the majestic Mecha God of War and the commander of the mercenary fleet burst into tears when he saw me, and applied for federal human rights protection from me.
As long as I agree, he will say whatever I ask without hesitation."
"It's very simple! Whenever I'm in a good mood or when I'm in a bad mood, I'll beat him up to vent my anger. When I don't have time, I'll call Fatty and Little Jacob to take my place. Anyway, it's raining to beat the child - I have nothing to do.
He's just idle, isn't he?" Tang Lang replied casually. "Don't worry, it's absolutely humane. I'll treat him right after the beating. He'll be alive and well in a few minutes. He can withstand the beating very well."
Mingyue Shang......
"The credibility is still more than 70%." Mingyue Shang smiled and nodded. "Since this trick is effective, I will ask the fat man to beat him into confusion later and confirm again. If it matches again,
It’s basically no problem.”
Tang Lang......
Francis, this unlucky guy, is really unlucky! Have you never heard of a woman with the most poisonous heart?
"Okay, give me the order. The fleet will move forward at full speed. I want to let everyone know that we are really going to have a serious decisive battle with the mercenaries."
Orders were sent down one after another, and the entire fleet began to accelerate. In each ship, everyone excitedly stayed at their positions and accelerated one after another with the warships.
The entire joint escort fleet composed of various forces arrived at the entrance of the Sunset Gorge space channel six hours later.
The Sunset Gorge Passage is one of the most important external channels in the Tianquan Galaxy. From here, you can directly go to the Ross Empire, Apollo and other extraterrestrial airspace. Anyone who comes to the Sunset Gorge Passage will be amazed by the huge cosmic meteorites and debris.
The bait ring made of ribbons shocked me. The entire channel, just above the bait ring, when the light of the star shines over, the channel is filled with golden light, and the bait ring changes colors colorfully, like a living thing.
This scene is like the sunset over the ocean slowly setting below the water level.
So, this is how this light-year-long waterway got its name.
Many years later, people called this battle the "Battle of the Sunset!"
Not only did this battle take place in the Sunset Gap Channel Star Domain, but since this battle, the country that took the initiative to provoke the war with the Southwest Federation gradually fell into a military disadvantage, and the final battle situation was irreversible.
Military historians agree that the battle of Sunset Gorge, which brought together three mercenary fleets of the Great Eagle Empire, a regular fleet of the Southwest Federation, and a large number of militia fleets of the Southwest Federation, may be insignificant in the entire Star Wars, but it is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.
, changed the entire situation of the war.
Because, just as the Southwest Federation believes that its main fleet has never been annihilated in hundreds of years, it is because they have not considered the feelings of the Eagle Empire, the number one overlord in the starry sky. The Southwest Federation has never had a house in the sky in hundreds of years.
In the thousands of years of history since the founding of the Great Eagle Empire, this has never happened before.
But this time, they have three fleets in the Sunset Gorge passage. Although they are nominally called mercenaries, in fact, anyone with a higher IQ will attribute them to the regular fleet of the Great Eagle Empire, and they fight all year round.
, even making their combat effectiveness higher than most of the regular main fleets of the Great Eagle Empire.
It turns out that the combat effectiveness of the Great Eagle Empire is not as strong as imagined! So what if it claims to have fifty main fleets? It cannot even defeat a group of "militia". The saying "imperialism is all paper tigers" has been mentioned again
, those federal parliaments who were still quarreling and hesitating against participating in the war have weakened to an unknown extent because of this war.
The rivals of the Great Eagle Empire, whose myth was instantly exposed, are ready to make a move. The battered Great Eagle Empire faces an alliance of federal countries that is not weaker than them, and the Ross Empire, which has been trying to return to the ranks of great powers, is passing a knife from behind.
How much energy does he have to take care of his little brother who is far away? Naturally, the Jiepeng Empire, which is still dreaming of sweet dreams, is in trouble. To use their idiomatic expression, it is very bad!
Of course, that's the future.
Now Tang Lang and the people who are driving into the Sunset Gorge passage with their heads held high have no way of knowing what kind of glory they will create. They just know that the enemy is coming. If they don't move forward hard, the enemy will invade their homes.
, the original aristocratic family will be slaughtered, the original big boss will become a wage earner, and the original person who walks on the tip of a knife to fish for side jobs will be sent to the beheading table. Anyway, no matter white or black, basically all will be killed.
There is no way to survive.
There is no way to survive! Then get on the starship, enter the mecha, hold on to the gun in your hand, and fight them! Francis said that the Chinese are always well protected by their heroes. This is not true.
Wrong, but among the Chinese people today, there are many more heroes who dare to stand up than he imagined. This may be why Francis is willing to tell some secrets.
And it's not just about being beaten every ten minutes or so.
Destroying a person's heart is often much harder than destroying a person's body. Tang Lang used the facts to smash Francis' arrogance into dust in the starry sky and kept lashing him. Maybe he really just needed a human sandbag to ease the coming war.
The nervousness and anxiety before!
It was not that he was afraid of defeat, but that Tang Lang knew that someone would eventually die. Those who he had seen or not seen, who knows how many people, would sleep in this starry sky forever.
........
On Tongshu Street in Kunlun District, the federal capital city, the street lights on the edge of the city are much brighter. This is because a company called "Julang" was established in this area a few months ago, and many new lights have been added.
Less construction.
Although the war between the Federation and Jie Pen is raging, it seems that places far away from the war, such as the capital Kunlun, still have thriving power.
"There have been many meteor showers this year. My mother said that every star in the sky represents the existence of a person. When a star falls, a person leaves this world. War will make the stars fall."
On the street surrounded by tung trees on both sides, under the warm yellow street lights, boys and girls carrying schoolbags and wearing high school uniforms, white shoes and white socks, were standing in front of the public transportation stop, waiting.
Zhang Sun Xueqing, who was wearing daily clothes, sat on the bench next to the two of them. Yang Lin, who was wearing sportswear, and several men were spread out fifty or sixty meters away from her without showing any trace.
Not far from this road is the former headquarters of Julang Company. Today, she finished the work at hand and planned to return to the academy. When the Lu Hang bus passed by, she did not want to go back immediately, but asked the driver to put her on the road.
This long, slightly cold street.
She sat here, quietly watching the cars passing by on the road and the pedestrians walking under the shadow of the mottled street lights.
"Why do I always have tears in my eyes? It's because I love this land so deeply!" Changsun Xueqing gently read the poem Tang Lang gave her, and her dark face and smile appeared in her mind.
of white teeth.
He also remembered that he had contacted Tang Lang with the second-level military authority with the tacit consent of Edward, Zhang Henshui and Yan Chilie. When he said the words "jealous", Tang Lang, who was usually calm and composed,
Seeing Lang's dumbfounded look at that moment, Changsun Xueqing couldn't help but smile.
She understands him, but he obviously doesn't understand her well enough, or in other words, he doesn't understand girls of this era at all.
Compared with the vast starry sky, which is often hundreds of light years away, the heart-stirring love in this era cannot withstand the erosion of distant space. No matter how unforgettable the love is, in the face of the galaxy barrier that may be separated by decades in the blink of an eye,
It's all false.
Paying attention to the present, as humans explore deeper into the starry sky, is deeply rooted in people's hearts. It cannot last forever, it can only be had once. Perhaps it is after the war that Mingyue Shang and Qiu Ruge become much bolder than usual.
reason.
But obviously, Tang Lang was a little unexpectedly conservative, which made Changsun Xueqing think of his rare silly look. It was a little funny, but more of it was pride and excitement. He was indeed different, and
Her vision is as accurate as ever.
Julang Company was founded by him, and his breath still lingers on this street! Changsun Xueqing raised her head and looked at the sky above where meteor showers streaked across her head.
At this moment, he should still be on the speeding battleship, but I don't know if he has exchanged fire with the ferocious enemies and destroyed them one by one. The falling meteor could not be him, maybe it was the fireworks after the victory.
Changsun Xueqing is not worried about Tang Lang's safety. If there is anyone in the world who has the most confidence in Tang Lang, it is not her father, but her.
Because, including her father, she had never seen anyone with such a determined warrior heart.
When Changsun Xueqing raised her head and looked up at the sky, the boy next to her also raised her head, pointed at the sky, and said that to the girl next to her.
The smart brain on the girl's wrist popped up a picture. It was the moment when Mingyue Shang walked down the ship's gangway and took over the flowers welcoming the crowd below. Her face was as gorgeous as the red flowers in her hands, and the crowd below was because of her
I cheered for her arrival, and cheered for her arrival. The trauma of war seems to be another kind of life in this photo.
This is a very famous news photo within the Federal State recently. Various media, magazines, and TV have "intentionally or unintentionally" followed up on this condolence event led by the head of state's daughter Mingyue Shang, and the content of the reports is very full.
, full of suspense. For ordinary people, it is naturally the comfort and encouragement of the federal high-level people to the grassroots people. Perhaps, only some astute people like Changsun Xueqing may have vaguely felt that behind this, there are people from the State Council and even the military.
shadow.
Of course, the truth has now come to light. The death of the great spy Zhou Dunhou in Daliangxing and the capture of the bandit leader Francis were all due to this plan. In fact, before the mercenary fleet appeared, the two old foxes, the head of state and the chief of military affairs, had released the fresh young Ming Yueshang.
As for heavy bait, it depends on which fish of sufficient weight in the Federation will take a bite, and then someone will be fooled.
However, there are also variables, such as the massacre on Pegasus, the first fleet is about to be surrounded by the main fleet of mercenaries, and no one can count all the enemies in the world.
Tang Lang, who has suddenly emerged and issued a summons to the entire galaxy to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy fleet, is another variable.
The conversation between the boy and girl next to her broke her quiet thoughts again.
"In the future, I want to become a woman like her!"
The girl wore two braids, a pair of dark and bright pupils, a round face, and white shoes and socks. She clearly wanted to appear mature but couldn't get rid of her childishness. She was very cute. No wonder the boy next to her made her look like this from time to time during the whole process.
Take a peek at her profile.
Seeing the girl's suspicious gaze, the boy quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, pointed at the mecha standing next to the woman in the picture, and said in a serious and old-fashioned manner, "Becoming a woman like Lieutenant Mingyue is not an easy thing!
They all need protection! Without the protection of mecha warriors, it’s difficult to move forward! It’s very difficult just to deal with those people who want to harm you and the forces with ulterior motives!”
The girl turned her head, her dark eyes a little shy, "Then, who will be my warrior?"
"It's me!" the boy hurriedly patted his chest, vowing still as old-fashioned as ever, "Leave it to me! Women should be responsible for going out and showing off, why not? You are so good-looking and approachable, and others don't want to see me looking so evil.
Look!"
The boy deliberately squeezed his facial features into a bunch to look ferocious, but it made the girl giggle non-stop.
"And I am in the mecha, helping you to defeat all enemies with ulterior motives!"
These words made both of them silent.
After a moment, the girl's low voice sounded, "Then... you must remember what you said to me today, one semester, no, one year, three years... you can't forget it for the rest of your life!
"
"Well! I applied for the Military Academy after I graduated from high school! You wait for me. When the time comes, I will control the mecha or starship to come back to see you and put the medal in your hand. What a Jiepen or a Great Eagle, but
A dish for heroic Union soldiers!”
“It’s a deal!”
The army bus arrived, and the boys and girls got on the bus one after another, and the street lights gilded their backs with a layer of gold.
Like these golden years.
The somewhat innocent and childish dialogue made Changsun Xueqing's eyes a little confused. These were the days when he was young and ignorant and vowed to be unbridled, but he was sincere like never before.
The galaxy, for them at this time, is only a short distance away.
On his mind, a picture that looked exactly like the girl popped up. Looking at the mecha standing proudly, Zhang Sun Xueqing seemed to be able to see into the mecha cabin through the thick armor, and saw the man with a dark face.
youth.
"You also promised to be my warrior, so you must come back!"
