The "Eagle" attack formation of the mercenary fleet opposite has begun to take shape and is in a state of preparation for attack.
The overall momentum of the mercenary army can be described as surging. The "Eagle" formation is deployed in space, with heavy cruisers as the indestructible "Eagle" beak, and destroyers with powerful maneuverability and firepower as the ones that can kill opponents at any time.
Its wings, with the overwhelming starry sky fighter planes that the mothership can dispatch at any time as claws, are like a Kunpeng soaring in the nine heavens, unrivaled.
Its majestic appearance brought soaring morale to the mercenary army. Heavy ships, light ships, one by one, row by row, row by row, were arranged in an orderly manner according to certain formation rules, thus forming an overwhelming sea.
An overwhelming momentum.
When this momentum advanced in a mechanical, deathly cold manner, all the opponents in front of them could feel the overwhelming murderous aura.
This is a combination of equipment and momentum, just like the confrontation between two armies in the ancient cold weapon era. The opponent's heavy cavalry has already sat on the armored horse, pulled down the steel mask, urged the war horse, and the array slowly moved.
And what about the infantry displayed in front of these heavy cavalry? What can they do? I'm afraid they can only hold on to the shield in their hands, you rely on me and I rely on you, forming a tight enough battle formation, trying to unite to defend the opponent's overwhelming attack.
But what about the final outcome? Looking at the history of human warfare, the number of people who can resist the opponent's attack in such a battle will not exceed a hundred, and the number of people who can defend and win can only be counted on the tenth finger.
Will people in such a bad situation become part of that small proportion?
No one can tell them the answer, maybe only their own hearts.
When the captains of the formations of the combined fleet and the captains of the battleships saw this scene, a wry smile appeared on their tired faces.
At first, I thought that the battle would be very difficult, that I would be tired, desperate, and die, but I never thought that the real battle of the Sunset Gorge Passage would be so difficult.
The opponent, directly after two exploratory attacks, put into a formation for a decisive battle. However, all the tactics they had discussed before to use their advantage in the number of starships to fight the enemy were all in vain.
However, there is only one heavy cruiser among the more than 200 starships in the entire combined fleet. Can it withstand the artillery fire of the opponent's 9 heavy cruisers? Will it be beaten into a sky full of fireworks if it cannot withstand even one round of artillery fire?
?Captains of each ship who are very familiar with the performance of starships know that this possibility is higher than 99%.
"Commander, the mercenary force is strong and we have suffered heavy casualties. There are still five combat ships in our brigade, less than one-third. The Cheng Family Merchant Alliance armed escort fleet I brought only has this ship left, and several of them are still alive.
Qianlingyi Xing'erlang is lost in the starry sky, and I have no shame to go see my elders in my hometown. That bastard in Chushanshan Mountain has not quarreled with me for ten minutes. His ship has been hit several times before, so he must have taken a step ahead.
Haha, I guess before he left, he was still worried that one of his sons could not defeat my two sons, and if I could survive until the war, he would not be able to sleep well down there." He had already fought a battle before.
The head of the Cheng family appeared on the screen again, with a look of relief or something called relief on his face.
"Then, let me fulfill the wish of that bastard who has been fighting with me for twenty years. Let me die here with him! The remaining three thousand Lingyi Xing'erlang in our ship are willing to be the vanguard of my fleet and resist the enemy's first enemy.
Wave attack!"
A gentle and ordinary-looking man looked over from the light screen, facing Tang Lang, his eyes full of respect, "I, Yao Yuan, thought that my life had been settled since then. Because I offended my boss, I joined the army as a major and deputy captain.
After being discharged from the army, my heart was full of unwillingness. On the surface, I was the owner of a veteran bar, but in fact, I became the leader of the largest armed smuggling on the planet. It was not because of money, but because of the unwillingness in my heart, but I never felt at ease in my heart. Maybe
Opening that small bar, where I could often see those veterans and comrades, gave me a moment of peace in my heart.
From the moment I chose to leave and lead my starship and brothers to follow you here, I knew that I was still a soldier of the Southwest Federation after all. No matter how poorly some people had treated me, this starry sky was mine.
our motherland. Now, I, General Yao Yuan, have returned to the battlefield. Today, I will lead my brothers to join the war right here. I don’t know how future generations will view today’s war. Will we become heroes?
Nobody cares!
But I know that behind me is my hometown that I must protect, and the girl who once admired me is still waiting for me in the bar. Today, I am a warrior, and I will either stand or die. At the moment when I am still standing, if I let
The enemy takes a step past me and steps into the country behind me. This is a shame!
I would like to lead my ship as the vanguard of the fleet! Please allow me, Commander!"
"We, the "Yu Qian", all apply to be the vanguard of the fleet!"
"We, the "Li Dingguo", are willing to be the vanguard of the fleet!"
...
One by one, the captains stood up and applied to Tang Lang for the position at the front of the fleet.
Although they all know that when the enemy begins to attack, the starship in the first row will inevitably become the shield of the entire fleet, and their ending will inevitably be to become the first wave of victims on the battlefield. The enemy's ferocious artillery fire will definitely not
Give them a chance to be replaced back into the team.
But they still came forward to apply.
"Commander, please give the order!"
Tang Lang's eyes slid over the captains and captains who appeared on the screen one by one, and his heart surged.
To be honest, from his own perspective, apart from commanding some mecha troops, he has never had such experience in commanding large-scale fleet operations. It is more out of his instinct for war and the absorption of Jiang Cheng and Shen Chengfeng.
Waiting for the opinions of experienced generals to maintain the war situation to this point.
It can be said that the large-scale fleet battle that took place previously was, for him, the most difficult and cruel training in his not-so-long life. If he did not improve and grow quickly, the price would be high.
Comrade-in-arms are constantly dying. Whether they are known to him or not, as long as they are beside him, they will all die in this starry sky.
Is it cruel? It is cruel, but this is war.
War will not give you the chance to improve slowly, it will use the most dripping blood as your failure score in the assessment.
There are too many meticulous arrangements and strictly observed laws for space operations. Large-scale cluster operations require very demanding command, coordination, supply, and support of a fleet. Just being in formation and not falling apart is enough.
It is extremely difficult, let alone using the formation to carry out flexible attacks, defense and harassment. Especially under the dazzling artillery fire, it is very difficult for the fleet to maintain a stable and uniform advance and retreat, let alone engage in high-intensity combat.
The issues a commander faces are always grand.
The problems faced by those who can command ten starships in combat and those who can command one hundred starships in combat are also different and more complex. Everyone here is gathered together because of Tang Lang's stunning performance in Daliang Star, but everyone here
They all ignored whether Tang Lang had the combat capability to command such a large fleet?
Perhaps some mature and prudent captains have thought about this, but as Tang Lang is the commander of the independent fleet, no one can replace Tang Lang in terms of his military rank and authority.
In fact, Tang Lang's pre-battle command also dispelled the doubts of some captains. He was able to form a barrel formation without delay to resist the harassment of the mercenary fleet, and he could also command the troops to attack at the appropriate time without being attacked.
The stupid decision to stop when the situation was good. These shining points, as well as the excellent central intelligence system from the Phoenix, allowed the entire fleet to exert extraordinary strength.
And now, these captains used their bravery to give Tang Lang a very high score.
If you are not useless, then I will be willing to die for you!
Only a general who is strong and wise enough can make his subordinates feel the urge to sacrifice everything for victory, even their lives.
Brave and worthy of praise.
But the enemy's strength is still an insurmountable obstacle.
They are about to face the enemy's general attack!
The combined fleet is anxious, and Tang Lang needs to make a choice!
The mercenary fleet in the distance that is about to be completed is actually not as confident as they appear on the surface. After two rounds of attack setbacks, their morale is inevitably low.
In terms of coordination, tactical capabilities, firepower and defense, Nass's space fleet is far superior to these improvised joint fleets.
However, this group of combined fleet warships, this group of people, gathered together to prevent them from going any further. No matter how fierce the mercenary warships' offensive was, they could not be allowed to cross the defense line of their fleet.
This made the powerful mercenaries feel a kind of terrifying and thorny obstacle. They didn't know what supported these people to stand up to this moment. The opponent's warships were obviously off-brand models, and many of them were civilian ships.
Many of the warships modified from the warships have been severely damaged and can no longer even move. I don’t know if they can still form a battleship, but their cannons and the weapon launch ports on their ships are always aimed at their mercenaries.
The direction of the fleet.
They put away their contempt for the people of the Southwest Federation. They thought that this was a small country and a nation that was not very united. They thought that their invasion this time would not be as easy as the previous battles, but it would not be as easy as before.
Difficult. Previous battles also proved this.
But they found that they were wrong. Whether it was the 9th Fleet that gave them a heavy blow or the motley army in front of them, they used their fierce fists and teeth to smash their once arrogant people into the dark starry sky. Now, they
There is no longer the previous arrogance and confidence, only a heavy depression.
Even if the motley crew in front of them is dealt with, so what? A fleet composed of a group of civilian ships and semi-military ships allowed them to use a decisive battle formation and burst out with twelve points of strength. Then, they faced each other again.
Will it be beaten against the regular fleet of the Southwest Federation?
This possibility is already a confirmed answer in the minds of more than 95% of mercenaries.
"Captain, I heard that you and Commander Tang Lang once fought side by side on Lafite! Can you tell me what kind of person he is? You know, we had never heard of such a person in the Federation before yesterday.
A winner of the Medal of Victory, such a young general!" Looking at the mercenary fleet assembled like dark clouds destroying the city in the distance, someone suppressed the fear in his heart and asked Ye, who was sitting on the command seat on the bridge.
Small boat.
In fact, he just wanted to use Tang Lang's resume and past to overcome the fear in his heart. Because, the fleet outside, yes, those hundreds of warships, gathered from all over the star field, formed a huge
A steel lineup, they are fighting, the lives and fates of countless people are forming lines, and the one who leads and leads them all at this moment is a young man.
They chose him, so they can only believe in him and believe that he can lead them to victory. This is the truest thought of ordinary officers and soldiers.
"Yes, it's a great honor that I met the commander on Lafite Planet. At that time, I was just a young captain, leading a mecha platoon to fight, but my opponent at Shuguang Military Base was a rising star in the Jiepeng Army.
Miyamoto Tsuyoshi, who is called the "Flower of Famous Generals", personally leads a mecha company composed entirely of ninth-generation mechas. The situation is far worse than it is now. After all, we still have more starships than our opponents.
." Ye Xiaozhou's eyes showed memories. "I don't need to tell you the final result. You all know it. Miyamoto Tsuyoshi's entire army was wiped out, and he was the only one left to escape alone. All the results were obtained except for those of me who sacrificed their lives in the battle.
In addition to my comrades, the commander who made effective tactical planning and single-handedly defeated Miyamoto Takeshi deserves the most credit!"
The officers and soldiers who heard Tang Lang's resume for the first time took a collective breath. They may have imagined how powerful their commander was, but they were still shocked after hearing what Ye Xiaozhou said. Miyamoto Tsuyoshi is known as an advanced first-level machine.
Master A, who is also at the top of the starry sky star rankings, can be resisted in terms of single-player control, but he is also inferior in tactics?
"Because I know him well, I came here after receiving his summons. I believe that he can lead us to another glorious victory." Ye Xiaozhou looked at the Phoenix in the distant fleet, his face
Firm. "When the country and the nation are in crisis, there must always be one or two people who should stand out and stand in this era..."
"Yes, we can definitely win! Because we have a commander who is a Victory Medal holder."
The encouraged officers and soldiers pulled down their battle masks in preparation for battle and sent farewell signals to their familiar comrades on the public channel.
The enemy advances in a heavy attack formation. This is the decisive battle. When the battle begins, many of the familiar comrades who fought side by side just now may never be seen again.
"Commander, please give the order!"
"Please give the order!"
"My naval guns are already thirsty."
"Fight for your country, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"
........
More and more requests for tassels came from the command light curtain.
Nass, who was opposite him, was a veteran with nearly thirty years of combat experience, and was a well-known figure on the starry sky star rankings. However, Tang Lang, who was currently commanding the combined fleet, was just a lonely young man in front of the command seat.
The strength of the mercenary army can even be seen by captains with a little combat experience. Many mature and prudent captains also feel that it is unfair at this time. The unfair thing is that, given Tang Lang's youth, he has to stand in that position
Go up, take responsibility, and be responsible for the entire fleet.
Therefore, the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Shaoning, stood up. He was willing to use his own life to help this young commander who was about the same age as his youngest son. Therefore, more captains stood up. Their biggest purpose was just to share the burden of the war.
The pressure placed on the shoulders of young people.
It takes courage to die.
It takes even more courage to die because you want to help others.
Of course Tang Lang understood. Once on the battlefield, his comrades dragged an injured leg and ran wildly in the jungle in order to find the location of a lurking sniper for him. The moment he was shot by his opponent, Tang Lang
I pulled the trigger with tears in my eyes.
Leaving the military camp, leaving the green, and leaving the land, Tang Lang once thought that he was also far away from those people who would always live in his heart. However, now, these people in front of him are so similar to his comrades in arms back then.
This nation has never lacked people who dare to sacrifice their lives for what they want to protect. No matter how many thousands of years pass by, this is a legacy that is deeply embedded in their genes.
The inheritance has never been cut off.
A hand as warm and soft as nephrite rested on the back of Tang Lang's hand.
Tang Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to face Ming Yueshang's beautiful eyes.
The bright girl whispered, "We will all live well. Don't forget that when we return to Kunlun Planet, I still owe you a cup of tea. You must ask me to pay it back to you."
"Those who bear debts will not default on their debts, but creditors must also collect debts!"
This may not be considered love words in the true sense, but it may be the warmest expectation in the world.
Just imagine, the two of you are sitting by the sunny and warm Tianqing River, sipping a cup of fragrant tea, and looking at the men and women holding hands and walking carelessly by the quiet Tianqing River. What a satisfying state of mind it is.
Tang Lang nodded with sharp eyes and finally gave the order.
