Strictly speaking, the battle at the gravitational boundary is no longer a battle, but a chaotic chase. The high-speed battleships of the Vengeance Army separated by us were dispersed into more than a dozen formations, and each formation specially disrupted the formation , galloping and flying around near the border, their speed is astonishing, and they are constantly leaping rapidly within a few light seconds, like thousands of locusts moving in the blink of an eye, they have given up any formation combat, because the pilots of those small spaceships The crew knew that without the support of the mothership, the small spaceship alone would not be able to confront the enemy's mixed fleet head-on with any tactics. And our intercepting force can only follow the opponent to adopt the same maneuvering method, jumping around in various sharp turns on the enemy's general path, and bright and short blue-white flames are constantly flashing in the deep space. The main guns of the Bing fighter jets were firing, but compared with them, few battleships were directly hit. Most of the high-energy beams flew past the opponent's side, and many warships were shot right before being hit. Moving away, the brutal reaction speed of the automatic evasion system manufactured by Xiling Technology can be seen. Of course, the level of fighter pilots is also really powerful. I am not familiar with the soldiers of the Vengeance Army, but the soldiers of the New Empire Army can all open The ruthless character who is racing three times in the city center with the traffic police brigade cough cough, I know this analogy is not suitable here, what we mean is: the scene of two high-speed spaceships in space constantly jumping and maneuvering to fight and shoot is really better. Exciting.
This chaotic chase may therefore take longer than we expected.
"Fortunately, we separated their escort formation from the mothership formation." Sandora sighed softly, "Half of them are the elite of the original royal guard. If they were not separated but all were sent to the ambush circle, I'm afraid After our first round of attack, they will be able to organize an effective counterattack, and even if the ambush troops can win, they will suffer a lot of losses."
"It seems that these escort formations are just small ships with weak shields, what role can they play if they are saturated and bombed in the encirclement?"
I have been with Sandora for so long, and I also have a little bit of military deduction ability, so I immediately asked curiously, and the latter shook his head slightly: "If an ordinary army encounters saturation bombing at the moment of completing the teleportation, how can its lightweight The escort formation will definitely be completely wiped out, but my former royal guards are confident against this situation. They will instantly let the mothership formation jump to the periphery of the battle line to form a joint shield, which in turn will protect the escort formation, and wait until the first round After the bombing, release those high-speed ships, let them attack the enemy motherships that have just completed the bombing and have no time to recharge, and at the same time interfere with the second attack of the ambushes. The ship formation should have also completed charging, and the rest is evenly matched giant ships. In this way, even if the escort team is completely wiped out, they can let their combat power explode as completely as possible in the event of a surprise attack...
After I listened to Sandora's explanation with my eyes open, I couldn't help being a little surprised: "What a brutal reaction speed..., from falling into the ambush circle to the ambush troops firing, there is a time difference of 0.1% seconds?"
"Under the action of the short-distance jumping device, even a microsecond time difference can be grasped. Any emperor's royal guard should have the ability to turn theoretically feasible things into reality. The royal family formed by Pandora for you What the guards are good at is to use more and more artillery to crush the past, no matter how much they are attacked, they can continue to increase their combat effectiveness, while my army is good at surprise attacks. All kinds of tactics that you can't think of are all available to them. Yes, the more elite troops, the more tricky and weird."
I looked at Sandora silently, and said to myself that I really didn't realize that Sandora's military style was like this before... Uh, it's weird, maybe this is also in line with her personality to some extent
At this time, the pursuit of the gravitational boundary is coming to an end, and our interception force finally only stopped less than half of the opponent's small handguns. The speed of those raid ships is really too fast, and they are good at all kinds of anti-encirclement. About ten assault formations are outflanking Misty Star from all directions. While they are jumping here at several times the speed of light, they are erratically exchanging positions halfway, making our fire control system unable to accurately aim at all times. The kung fu of a lollipop (this is equivalent to the kung fu of a bag of cigarettes, editor's note), groups of small red dots appeared on the near-defense radar of General City.
"If we can incorporate this group of guys, the tactics of the Imperial Army will be greatly supplemented.
"Sivis said something involuntarily, and I quickly coughed twice: Sandora should be depressed again.
At this moment, the enemy's assault ships scattered by us with traps have been divided into multiple groups to outflank the Misty star's close-in defense guns. The accuracy of the latter is obviously far superior to that of long-range artillery. The anti-aircraft artillery began to suffer a lot of damage. If there is no accident, the high orbit of the Misty star is the biggest result they can achieve in this suicide charge, but they are still rushing forward bravely, without any intention of retreating. And we once again saw the most awesome tactic of the Avengers: self-destruction, all kinds of self-destruction.
At this time, even Qianqian can see that the defeat of the escort formation of the Vengeance Army is doomed. If they continue to charge, it will only be a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out, but none of them retreats, even under the attack of intercepting troops and anti-aircraft artillery. Being turned into fireworks, they also fiercely attacked the defense line of the Misty Star, which was almost impossible to destroy for small warships like themselves. The saturation attack and then concentrated self-detonation was completely a way of fighting that did not seek victory but was sufficient. I couldn't figure out why it didn't retreat at first, but now I have a little understanding of the other commander's thinking.
That's right, if they scattered and fled in all directions, some of these ultra-high-speed spacecraft could still escape. After all, the gravitational well can only take effect within a certain range. Filled with this kind of restraint, so as long as the escort formation of the Vengeance Army can shake off the intercepting troops and start the hyperspace transition, at least one-third of the warships and fighters can escape this battlefield. They are not afraid of death, and they are not incapable of turning a corner when they have to retreat strategically, but the other party did not do so because they want to protect the secrets of their main base.
As long as you retreat, you may be captured by the opponent's space trajectory. Then your main base may be exposed. They are different from those mothership formations trapped in another world. When the latter retreats, they have to pass through the world barrier, so that they can block possible tracking signals. Under the nose, as long as they turn their heads and run away, they may be tracked.
The commander of the Vengeance Army (we don't know what kind of command the Vengeance Army is now, let's think they still have a commander, and this commander is sensible) knows that he is facing the Imperial Army with the same technical strength, so he Don't dare to take this risk. Therefore, all the revenge troops chose the mortal attack method. They would rather blow themselves up on the ground than turn around and run in the direction of the main base. Of course, they cannot be captured alive by us.
Pandora and Viska have already entered the battle, which means that this short firefight is coming to an end. Even the fastest individual fighters can't avoid these two 1.2 meter budget fire control units. When these two little lunatics When the floating cannons were summoned, the enemy's largest nose team could no longer advance one meter. They seemed to have hit an invisible barrier. It was the artillery net woven by the Pandora sisters, a fragile individual fighter. Faced with this layer of Fire King, they basically crashed instantly. In several other directions, the Vengeance Army was also stopped by the local interception forces.
In the end, seeing the blinding white flashes on the high orbit for an instant, everyone fell silent, and that scene still appeared... After breaking through the firepower net, the only few hundreds of scarred Revenge Army assault ships blew themselves up. .
I really want to complain that the other party has traveled a full and a half and a half light-years in such a bloody way just to come to the disgusting side. But in the end, the complaint turned into a sigh.
When the small-scale battle on the defense line of the Misty Star (compared to another universe) had just ended, information from the locked universe was also transmitted to the command link, and the captain of the Death Star Fortress reported: "Your Majesty, the battle has ended Finish."
"Results...Sandora only said two words briefly, she is no longer in the mood to use rhetorical techniques and subject-verb-object.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we didn't achieve the expected results." The commander—I really can't remember who he is—said apologetically at first, and then began to explain the situation. The joint shield was activated, and the first round of attacks by the ambush troops failed to go as planned... Consuming this barrier, the Death Star's "wrath. There was a parameter error in the attack, and the last batch of shock waves was delayed for 1.375 seconds before being released, and the revenge army took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement. . .
Sandora frowned: "The results of the battle. Just talk about the results of the battle...
"We left about a quarter of the enemy's warships, and they all blew up in the end. Forty percent of the remaining enemy ships were confirmed to have been severely damaged and could not be put on the battlefield again in a short time. Then it became a threat again."
In other words, after the ambush, we actually destroyed only a quarter of the enemy's troops, which is far below our expectations. Our initial idea was to let psionic power die after the ambush fleet weakened the enemy's shield Xing used his big move to directly drop a large area in seconds, but never expected that the enemy commander's reaction was so quick and the psionic death star even dropped a chain slightly.
As for the report on the results of the battle, about 40% of the enemy's troops have suffered heavy losses. This is of little significance to Sandora and me. Everyone knows how abnormal the productivity of the Xiling Empire is. As far as warships are concerned, as long as they can come back alive from the battlefield, no matter how hard they are damaged, they will be fine. It is no exaggeration to say that even if an aircraft carrier is hit, there will only be a windshield left, as long as it is sent back to the factory without much effort. The imperial technicians who helped fight chicken blood can put it all together. Of course, you have to say that they found another aircraft carrier that happened to have a missing windshield and replaced it...
But in any case, this is still a great victory. The ratio of the enemy to the enemy has reached an unprecedented one to five, and the main casualties are still responsible for intercepting the small spaceships of the escort formations. This is already the case when the enemy is an imperial fleet of the same strength Very impressive achievement, of course everyone knows that this is due to insidious tactics and Icetees' long-term experience in fighting Sap, so it is not worth celebrating In fact, since the last Mist star raid, we have achieved in this universe Any military victory in the US is not cause for celebration.
The command center is still busy with post-war statistics and various scheduling, but for those of us who don’t need to participate in specific affairs, there is nothing to be busy with, Sandora tapped on the table , There is not much relaxation between the brows. Because we all know that today is only the beginning.
Even today I don't want to call it a real "battle". The past less than an hour is full of traps, saps and conspiracy. That's why we handed over the victory. We completely avoided the opponent's hard-power Tai Chi and threw them into the rogue-like dire straits of Bingtis (specifically referring to "wrath". ), the real hard confrontation is only the interception battle against those escort ships, and the mothership formation of the Vengeance Army has almost no resistance and decisively chooses to evacuate. It can be said that the imperial army relied on three points of luck and seven points of trickery this time, and the next time it will not be so lucky. doomed.
So I knocked on the table and said with a very serious expression: "This crisis is temporarily over, but we can't go on like this. Sooner or later, we will have to fight a tough battle with the Avengers. Next time, it may not work if we temporarily switch the switch."
What I said aroused the approval of everyone. There is no shortage of characters with a long-term vision. Everyone understands that this "victory" sounds good, but in fact it is luck and slippery. Sandora also said that this This kind of coordinate masking can only be used once, and the next time the Avengers will definitely use some method to block our wrong signals, the tough battle still has to be fought.
There is not much time to discuss later, Sandora showed a vigorous side, she activated the isolation fence of the officer's platform, and separated the place where we are into an undisturbed conference room, and then in the air With a few pointers, a dense star map appeared in front of everyone. To say that at this time, I am not the stunned young man who stared at the star map for half an hour. After seeing the star map, I just fainted a little, then nodded seriously, and pointed to a specially marked light spot on the star map. : "En. The Mobrado galaxy?"
Sandora looked at me silently: "This is the outpost..."
I thought about it and decided not to speak for a while.
Of course I knew about the outpost, but I just didn’t recognize it: Speaking of which, the star maps in space are densely packed like sesame biscuits, no one would recognize them. When we first led the army into this universe, we separated the main force. According to Lin Xue's suggestion, they established a base far away from Mobrado, which was a primitive air mass. The environment is harsh, and the surroundings are very empty and desolate, and there is hardly a conspicuous celestial body within ten light-years. In the two confrontations with the Vengeance Army, the outpost has never been exposed. This is our greatest comfort at present. As long as it is not exposed, we will soon be able to obtain a solid frontline bunker in this universe by relying on the sky-defying ability of the Xiling Apostle.
But the only thing that makes people uneasy is, can our violent soldiers compare with the revenge army
There is still no evidence that the Vengeance Army has a main base in this universe. Our probes have almost reached the space warp layer at the boundary of the universe and have not found a working imperial arsenal, but the army they assembled twice cannot be out of thin air Come, the Vengeance Army absolutely hid their base camp by any means. I have no doubt that this base camp has a violent force far beyond our outpost.
Now the imperial arsenals in Shadow Space, Kuiper Belt Base, Koprulu Sub-base, and Locked Universe Sub-base have entered a state of overtime, and have accumulated a considerable number of mass-produced fleets and war puppets for war consumption, but short-term It is impossible for them all to rush over to support them within a short period of time. We need a world gate that is large enough and more importantly stable enough, not a temporary channel like Teleportation Crystal Peak, and it takes time to build a world gate.
Time, time again, time to race against the revenge army.
"The outpost, the Mist star defense line, these two places are our only strongholds in this universe at present." Sandora zoomed in on the star map, presenting the overall layout of the current Milky Way in front of our eyes, and the Mist star defense line And the outpost suddenly turned into two light spots smaller than a pixel, "We are alone and alone, we are now facing the regular army of the old empire, and there may be a large base system from the old empire era here, head-on productivity , we will soon fall into the continuous frontal attack of the enemy forces, and we will not last long at all."
No one spoke, and they were all waiting for Sandora's next words. Everyone knew the disadvantages of the Imperial Army, so they wanted to know what plan Sandora, the former commander of the revenge army, would have to turn things around.
"In the past few days, the outpost has been building and expanding its troops at a high speed according to the original plan. It has already begun to take shape. If the same danger as the first Mist star raid occurs again, they can immediately organize enough troops The enemy's completely suppressed fleet is rescued. Of course, this is just a hypothesis. There is an 80% chance that the outpost will be exposed in advance, and the number of fleets that may be assembled by the Vengeance Army's attack again will definitely be larger. Now the outpost Outposts are already our largest source of troops. Before the stable world gate is established, it may also be our only reliable source of troops in this universe. Therefore, outposts must not be directly put into battle, and even the warships it produces must They were divided into small batches and mobilized to the Misty Star side by bit.
Then there is the line of defense on the Misty Star. This giant planet has now become a strategic location. It is the bridgehead of the Mobrado star system, and the Mobrado star system is an important site for finding the truth about the loss of control of the revenge army. Here Also absolutely must not miss. "
Sandora just stated two facts that absolutely cannot be changed, but the elder sister has already understood what, drew a circle on the table (do you have a chill in your heart?) and said: "So, we have to find a way to make the battle here An outbreak on the battlefield two places away?"
"Moreover, we have to divert the attention of the Vengeance Army, making them think that is our base camp." Sandora nodded and added.
