Chapter 648 surprise attack on building the Great Wall
With the arrival of the new force of the 173 Fleet, the battle situation that seemed to be on the verge of crumbling under the desperate attack of the Puppet Legion has once again returned to a barely balanced state.
But the situation is still not optimistic at this time.
During the fierce battle that lasted for a total of 26 months, more than a hundred human squads arrived on the Oasis to join the battle group.
In this relatively small war zone, humanity has gathered a total of 680,000 ships and a total population of nearly 400 million to form a large-scale combined fleet.
Relying on the hard work of the frontline soldiers and the chasm formed by the plasma magnetic storm, the production and scientific research departments located inside the Oasis star were fully fired, and in just 26 months, they built as many as one million ships, including seven unmanned warships.
There are more than 100,000 ships and more than 200,000 manned warships.
At the same time, Tiandong has been continuously strengthened through a total of nine phases of construction. Although it is not impregnable, it can be regarded as an iron wall.
A large amount of material left by the warring parties in the cave has piled up like a mountain, forming a cylindrical asteroid belt.
Humans usually only recycle a small part of the necessary special materials. As for the rest, they simply stay in place. They are also ready-made roadblocks that can block the enemy's progress. The fastest update on the PC::/
Humans, who have the home advantage in the region, can also hide booby traps in some damaged wreckage. :(/
Unfortunately, this place is close to the center of the galaxy and is the core hinterland of the Compound Eyes. In these years, the Compound Eyes have already begun to expand the slave force on a large scale in the center of the galaxy.
In order to intercept the unknown fleet that exposed its whereabouts in advance, the Compound Eyes had already deployed heavy troops.
Now that the United Fleet is stationed in the Oasis Star, it is no different than lighting a bonfire late at night in a dense winter forest full of wolves.
The ferocious and hungry wolves will surely move upon hearing the wind and surround you from all directions.
The unknown fleet is equivalent to using the power of a small branch of humanity to fight against the enemy's headquarters. This power comparison is inherently unfair.
However, despite such a huge disparity in the strength and logistics between the enemy and ourselves, the 400 million soldiers and civilians only use technical means to quickly rest and work hard for an average of 2 hours every 24 hours. At the same time, it also relies on the exhaustive application of technology by more scientific researchers at the empire headquarters.
To solve key problems, in response to the Oasis star plasma magnetic storm and many special mineral deposits, we continue to launch various new energy material rapid development equipment, and rely on the master brain Fanxing to use nearly one-tenth of the total computing power to take over the important part of the Oasis star production process.
The combined fleet survived the calculation work.
However, although the Combined Fleet has tried every means to rapidly expand its strength, it still cannot avoid the problem of continued combat attrition.
The fourth generation, which has just begun to be cultivated after the combined fleet was stationed, is now only more than two years old, and there is still at least six to eight years before it can form basic combat capabilities.
As time goes by, human warriors inevitably fight less and less, and the balance of strength between the two sides is still slowly tilting in a direction more favorable to the compound-eye army.
In June 2945, an even more unfavorable situation emerged. About 160 light-years away from the Oasis Star, a huge compound-eyed slave fleet suddenly emerged. Its combat strength was estimated to be close to the unknown fleet encountered during the Great Victory.
That huge army composed of Devouring Worms and Hive Ships.
Just half an hour later, when this information was presented to Andre, Zhou Donglai and the General Staff of the Empire Headquarters, there was silence in countless conference rooms.
There was a major flaw in the work of the intelligence department, and they failed to discover that a huge serpentine stargate of the Compound Eyes was quietly taking shape.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two options left before the combined fleet.
Either risk being annihilated and wait for help, or evacuate early and continue to break into pieces and escape individually.
However, the United Fleet had only been developed for two years and two months at this time, and the ramp-up of production capacity had not yet been completed, and most of the production capacity was used to fight against invading enemies. The exploitation of the resources of the Oasis Star had only completed less than ten percent.
one.
If they disperse here, the combined fleet's original strategic goal of expanding its strength will not be achieved at all, and the persistence of more than two years will become a dream.
But even if they were to stand still and wait for reinforcements, with only a small team hundreds of light years away, it would be difficult to assemble a team that was strong enough to compete with this amazing force of the Compound Eyes.
At this delicate moment, the Materials Science Research Institute under the Core Fleet deduced a brand new way of ship movement by analyzing the remains of a previously annihilated biological fleet with space jumping capabilities.
Collect these biological remains, refine them, and finally integrate them into the kinetic energy generator of the jump engine. In theory, it can support medium-sized ships to perform continuous jumps for several months to obtain up to 2,500 yuan.
Terrifying mid-range maneuverability at a hundred times the speed of light.
After calculation, these non-renewable materials collected in the core fleet can be used to transform a total of 400,000 medium-sized ships.
"Opportunities and risks coexist. Now most of the scattered enemy fleets near the Oasis Star have moved closer to the war zone, but we still have one-third of the reserve force in the outer layer. Over the years, the Xuanyuan Armor has been rapidly and gradually replacing the Folgai Armor. Targeting the new
The Xuanyuan Armor derivative equipment of the main frame has been gradually improved."
"All detachments, large and small, have gone through a lot of trials of blood and fire over the years. Those who can persist until now have fought more than ten games, and some have fought three or four games. Our combat effectiveness is better than it was twenty years ago.
If you only increase without decreasing, you have a chance to win. As long as you can use it first
If the task force destroys the opponent's star gate, then within this area, we can concentrate our superior forces to attack the enemy. The core fleet is responsible for the formation of the main attack task force, and the rest of the fleet gradually moves closer, waiting for fighters to form an encirclement.
The power!"
Zhou Donglai made a decisive decision and ordered the core fleet engineering department to immediately start rebuilding the ships and selecting soldiers.
Yes, after the core fleet has accumulated strength for many years, it is time to unsheath its blade again.
A week later, a special attack force composed of 20 million elite warriors, 50,000 special medium-sized warships, and 350,000 brand-new intelligent unmanned warships was formed, directly transferring half of the existing strength of the core fleet.
Not only that, the special attack team composed of Tong Ling and three thousand other top warriors has also been reorganized.
This battle is of great importance. As the number one fighting force of mankind, it is time for Tong Ling to take action.
But what I didn't expect was that something went wrong in the process of finalizing the commander of the task force.
Zhou Donglai actually planned to transfer his position as commander-in-chief of the unnamed fleet to Tang Xia'ao, who was 36 years old and had just been promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the core fleet, and then he would personally lead the expedition.
This was strongly opposed by Tang Xia'ao and other commanders.
Zhou Donglai's reason was that Tang Xia'ao was mature enough and had demonstrated sufficient military commanding abilities to be worthy of the position of commander-in-chief.
But Tang Xia'ao's reason was that he believed that he was not good at administrative work and was not qualified for the military-political position of commander-in-chief of the Unnamed Fleet.
Others feel even more inappropriate.
It was not that they were dissatisfied with Tang Xia Ao, but they felt that in the past few decades, after Zhou Donglai took over as Qin Guang, he had performed well in overall control of various fields. He was no longer a pure military personnel and they had to let him stay.
Only in the core fleet can it play the greatest role and be more beneficial to mankind.
As long as Zhou Donglai is still here, even if he loses this battle, the Wuming Fleet will have the opportunity to make a comeback and regroup its combat power.
Zhou Donglai continued to argue that there was no room for failure in this battle, and he could only win but not lose. Only by personally participating in the battle could he feel at ease, and there was no better commander in the fleet than himself.
He even stated very forcefully that his mind had been made up and there would be no further discussion.
What he never expected was that Tang Xia'ao actually refuted it in public and challenged him to command a simulated special battle fleet.
"Now that the embryos of my offspring have taken shape, Nuwa's plan can rest easy. I can fight to the death without any worries. Since you, teacher, said that there is no room for error, the strongest will win. Then let's give it a try. If I win, then naturally
It’s my turn.”
Twenty-four hours later, the simulated battle ended, and Tang Xia'ao achieved an undisputed victory with a battle loss ratio of up to 7%.
Zhou Donglai was helpless and sadly lost the command of the task force, and he angrily took charge of logistics work for Tang Xia'ao.
Others were also extremely shocked. Before the challenge ended, few people thought that Tang Xia'ao, who was only thirty-six years old and had only commanded several times in previous small-scale contact battles, could actually perform in a large-scale special warfare simulation.
Win Zhou Donglai.
You know, Tang Xia'ao had never had time to get involved in battle training of this scale before, and it was his first time to get started. This was purely a matter of talent crushing.
But Zhou Donglai is not an ordinary person!
Is this the ability of great-grandfather Tang Tianxin, the most powerful commander in the history of civilization in the history of nothingness?
Watching Tang Xia'ao leading the fleet disappear quickly during a jump, Zhou Donglai turned back and turned on the projection, looking at the newborn who had just turned one month old.
This is a baby girl, who is Tang Tianxin's grandmother.
Even if he is as calm as Zhou Donglai, he can't help but secretly look forward to it in his heart.
If we persist for another half century, we will see that strange woman who can carry all the military power of mankind with one shoulder.
I don't know how strong that girl can be.
Another three months have passed. At the cost of losing one-third of the unmanned ships and one-eighth of the manned ships due to technical reasons, the task force has completed a total of more than 17,000 medium-range jumps, successfully
Arriving at the location where the giant serpentine star gate is hidden, a fierce firefight with the opponent's 300,000 slave fleet stationed here immediately began.
At first Zhou Donglai and others thought that Tang Xia'ao would choose to concentrate all his efforts on attacking the Star Gate first, but they never expected that Tang Xia'ao would choose to engage in the battle while dividing his troops into three groups.
Among them, 50% of the troops were on one side, using Tong Ling's attack team as an arrow to attack the star gate.
The other group accounted for 20% of the troops, turned around and pursued the compound-eyed slave army that was rushing towards the Oasis Star, and assumed a fierce attack posture.
The last group accounted for 30% of the troops, but did nothing. They only spread out over a large area in the middle area of the other two groups, and began to wildly detonate a large number of medium-sized fragmentation bombs and various space mines and missiles that could create long-term storms.
Three days later, under Tang Xia'ao's micro-management, the main force of the special attack team successfully penetrated the enemy's defense line, tore apart the star gate, and blocked another support army of compound-eyed slaves that was about to pass through the star gate.
The other side of the door.
On the other hand, they are still chasing the enemy's main force.
The third route is still detonating bombs wildly, and continues to expand the coverage area, heading to one star after another along the way, just like a dragonfly touching water and leaving.
At the same time, the compound-eyed army that was rushing towards the Oasis star was only two weeks away from reaching its destination, the Oasis star system. However, when the star gate was destroyed, it immediately turned around and attacked the task force assault team.
At this time, the main force of the assault team was unable to escape, and they were still fighting each other with the enemy fleet guarding the star gate.
When the Compound Eye army retreated to thirty light years away from the Star Gate, they engaged in a firefight with the Second Route Army of the Task Force Assault Team, which accounted for 20% of the force.
However, the Second Route Army did not engage in a fierce battle with them. They would often withdraw after just touching them, doing their best to harass them, just to continuously drive the opponent out of the curvature flight path and delay the opponent's advancement.
Time was delayed for nearly another month. With the superior force brought by Tong Ling and other top warriors, the First Army of the Task Force Assault Team completely annihilated the defenders at the cost of losing 30% of its troops, and began to head towards the direction where the Compound Eye army came from.
.
Three more weeks passed, and the compound-eye army finally came within fifteen light years of the First Army amid the harassment of the Second Route Army.
At this time, the Second Route Army had been completely damaged in the harassment, but the compound-eye army's advance did not speed up, but it fell into the quagmire caused by the Third Route Army's previous detonations.
It is no longer safe to fly at full speed and warp flight, and it is even more dangerous to jump and fly. The compound-eye army can only reluctantly start low-speed warp flight to try to get through this quagmire.
But just when the compound-eye army rushed to the center of the quagmire, the mutation reappeared.
Millions of stars within a radius of fifteen light-years trembled violently and exploded at the same time.
The explosion of a single star is nothing to a ship with this level of technology.
But the supernova explosions of millions of stars almost simultaneously set off a terrible energy storm in this area.
The terrifying gamma rays are like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, unstoppable.
Massive high-energy particles escape everywhere and fill the space.
The empty universe turned into a quagmire and a surging sea of energy.
The curvature gravity lines are completely disrupted and interrupted.
The jump passage has become a must-kill place.
This large army of compound eyes was trapped in it, and could only start regular flight at close to the speed of light.
After that, Tang Xia'ao began to integrate the first, second and third route armies and patrolled along the outer layer of the star explosion zone he had created. While starting scientific experiments, he took advantage of the maneuverability brought by the jump to quickly cull and risk using curvature flight to rush out.
part of the enemy's reconnaissance force.
It will take at least hundreds of years for the radiation from such a terrifying amount of stellar explosions to subside.
Then, if the enemy's large forces want to rush out, no matter which direction they choose, it will take at least seven years!
Not only that, this area of fifteen light-years in diameter will continue to expand, and will eventually form a spherical segmentation zone spanning forty-five light-years in fifteen years, providing the shortest path for reinforcements sent by the enemy from the direction of the galactic center.
Block it with all your might.
If the opponent still wants to harass Oasis Star, they must take a long way around.
This is a spherical Great Wall that is forty-five light years old!
On the other side, because this important new force that can influence the balance of the battlefield was completely mired in quagmire, the enemy's refueling tactics suddenly seemed like a stolen gas station.
The Oasis United Fleet's military formation began to gradually gain battlefield advantages.
Tang Xia Ao succeeded.
He successfully secured at least ten years for the Oasis Fleet.
Another half year passed, and the Oasis United Fleet completely gained the upper hand and began to counterattack.
The other forty or so small fleets that were originally nearby are also gradually approaching the explosion area.
The combined fleet special attack force, represented by Fleet 173, was integrated and formed into a force with 30,000 large battleships, 100,000 medium-sized battleships, and 200,000 new attack smart ships. It began to rush outwards, heading straight towards the stellar explosion coverage area.
