More than ten minutes had passed between the chase and the escape, and the Oaks Empire's fleet finally escaped the firepower of Task Force 101.
It has to be said that the performance of the Oaks Empire's battleships is much better than that of the Federation. If it were not in this asteroid belt, there would be no way to fight with the opponent. The speed of the battleships alone is much higher than that of humans.
After getting rid of the opponent's pursuit, Rex finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Report the damage!"
"Commander, we have lost a total of 98 battleships, including 3 battleships, 5 battlecruisers, 12 aircraft carriers, 8 cruisers, 28 destroyers, and 42 frigates!"
"All 12 aircraft carriers are gone?"
"Yes."
Rex always felt uneasy. Under normal circumstances, the aircraft carrier could not lose 100%.
In an ambush battle, you will definitely focus on other warships first. After all, the aircraft carrier has no lethality at long distances.
Rex's idea is very correct. After all, this is not a naval battle in the planetary era. The combat radius of fighter planes is further than that of anti-ship missiles.
But what Rex still can't figure out is what is the purpose of the other party doing this
Twenty minutes later.
"Commander, the rear of the opponent's fleet will be within our range in two minutes!"
"Very good, I finally caught you. This time it's my turn to chase you and escape!"
Rex looked at the display on the tactical panel and said harshly.
However, before Rex could be happy, something happened when the fleet passed through a group of asteroids.
A minute ago, inside the flagship of Task Force 101.
"Report, the other party will arrive at the burial site of the nuclear bomb in one minute."
"Very good, set the detonation time of the nuclear bomb to 1 minute and start drilling into the asteroid."
"clear!"
The earth-penetrating nuclear bomb is a very strange thing. It is said that this thing can even be used to destroy the planet.
The nuclear bomb has its own energy source and a super drill, which can even drill all the way to the core of the planet and detonate it.
However, humans have never actually used this thing so far. The entire 101 Task Force only has dozens of them, and this time Lin Fan used them all at once.
After receiving the order, these earth-penetrating nuclear bombs previously set up by mechas began to drill into the interior of each asteroid.
A minute later, the Oaks Empire's fleet arrived just between the dozens of asteroids.
Earth-penetrating nuclear bombs with preset times were also detonated inside the asteroid at this time.
I saw dozens of dazzling bright lights flashing by, and dozens of asteroids were blown into countless pieces, large and small.
All of a sudden, the Oaks fleet suffered a disaster. The waterway was covered with asteroid debris, making it impossible to sail normally.
Seeing this, Rex had to order the fleet to slow down and stop quickly, but even so, dozens of spacecraft still hit the asteroid fragments and were damaged during the deceleration process.
At this moment, something happened that completely broke Rex.
"Let all the mecha troops attack and completely destroy the opponent's fleet."
"yes!"
The order was immediately passed to the ambushing mecha troops, and 9,000 mechs immediately sprang out from the dense asteroid group and headed towards the battleship group of the Oaks fleet.
In a chaotic environment full of debris, the fleet could not move, but that did not mean that the mecha could not move. With its small size and high maneuverability, the mecha quickly entered the battleship group.
What greeted Rex was a round of massacre.
Looking at the battleships being destroyed by mechas around him, Rex closed his eyes, and he already knew that he had no chance!
With such clever tactics and a series of step-by-step killing moves, the opponent couldn't be Liang Xingchen, right
Rex couldn't help but think so.
"Send Ninth Prince to the escape cabin, immediately!"
Rex looked at the frightened Doron, waved his hand, and asked the guards in the bridge to take Doron to the escape cabin.
He can die here. As for His Highness Ninth Prince, although he is an incompetent person on paper, he is the royal family after all and must not die here.
After the two guards saluted Rex, they carried Dolan and walked out immediately.
Ten minutes later, when the last Oaks Empire fleet was destroyed, the entire battle came to an end.
"Adjutant, report the results of our army's victory!"
"Yes, a total of 208 Oaks Empire battleships were destroyed in this battle. Our battleships were not lost. The mecha troops suffered 528 battle losses. Among them, 218 were successfully ejected, and the others were."
Lin Fan certainly understood what was going on.
It has to be said that in this era, mechas are the natural enemies of battleships when they get close, but that is also based on numbers.
Generally speaking, it is good if 20 mechas can be exchanged for one battleship after getting close.
But in terms of value, the cost of building a battleship is equivalent to hundreds of mechas, and there are at least several hundred people on the battleship.
Therefore, exchanging 20 mechas for one battleship is absolutely a bargain. This is why so many people say that once the mecha group rushes into the battleship group, it will be the end of the battleship.
"Clean the battlefield immediately, search and rescue all surviving pilots, and search for the mechas that failed to eject based on their last positions, try to find their bodies, and take them back!"
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
"After the arrangements are made, send the battle report to the Mars base!"
"clear!"
An hour later, Liang Xue reported to Lin Fan that the battlefield had been cleared. Among them, 218 pilots had successfully ejected. In the end, 185 people were successfully rescued, and the remains of 148 people were recovered.
In other words, the final battle damage statistics were 528 mechas and 343 pilots.
"Commander, when we were cleaning the battlefield, we also discovered a rescue capsule of the Oaks Empire. It had been captured by the mecha troops. There was only one person inside. The other party claimed to be the ninth prince of the Oaks Empire and asked us to give him courtesy."
"What a waste of courtesy, lock him up as a prisoner of war, and hand him over to the commander when you get back!"
"yes!"
"If nothing else happens, let the fleet set off and return to Mars!"
"yes!"
After the final results were tallied, Liang Xue compiled a detailed battle report on the way back and sent it to the Mars base.
At this moment, Liang Xingchen was a little worried in the office.
Calculating the time, the fight should be almost over, but I don’t know how it is going. Whether it’s a war on paper or a natural talent depends on this battle.
"Dong dong...dong. Report!"
"Come in!"
"Commander, Task Force 101 has sent back the battle report!"
"Huh? Come and show it to me."
The adjutant immediately handed over a document, and Liang Xingchen read it carefully after taking it.
"Haha, Lin Fan really didn't disappoint you and me. He didn't lose any of his warships. At the cost of only more than 500 mechas, he annihilated 208 of the opponent's warships and captured the ninth prince of the Oaks Empire!"
"Yes, Commander, when I first saw this battle report, I still couldn't believe it."
"Have you forgotten that he made me do a big somersault in the Interstellar Military Academy? This kid is not simple!"
The adjutant recalled the incident when he accompanied Liang Xingchen to the Interstellar Military Academy, and he suddenly realized that he had never seen anyone in the federal army who could make the commander suffer such a big loss in a battle.
If you think about it, this result seems to be reasonable.
"But, Commander, what should we do with the Ninth Prince?"
"We don't need to worry about this. The president will make the best use of this prince, haha!"
