Six hours have passed since the Allies launched the attack. Both sides have lost considerable fleets. The Empire's 40,000 warships led by Marshal Reinhard von Lohenkramm have been reduced to less than 20,000.
Five thousand ships, Admiral Fafnir's Seventeenth Fleet of the Empire also shrank from 18,000 ships at the beginning of the war to 14,000; and the alliance's fleet also shrank from 53,000 ships at the beginning of the war.
The number of more than a thousand warships was reduced to more than 38,000. The generals of the alliance performed quite well in specific tactics and maintained an exchange ratio of 1:1.2.
Vice Admiral Piccolo's Fifth Fleet launched another offensive, this time targeting Fafnir's fleet. "Really, the old guy is very good at fighting! This tactic is to force me to trade one for one."
At the same time, after repelling the double wall of the Empire, Ulanfu's 10th Fleet and Yang Wenli's 13th Fleet also began to retreat while trying hard to attack the Fafnir Fleet with flank fire and Spartanion fighter jets.
"Damn it! Gustav! Order the entire fleet to retreat and organize the front line! It's not cost-effective to fight at close range! There is no need for us to fight against three here." Fafnir complained and ordered, "What about the double walls of the empire?
If you give someone a quick shot, you have to retreat and tidy up...but that Persian cat is really cunning, his loss is not big, right?"
"I see that half of the Persian cat's losses have been eliminated. I remember that when he arrived at Golden Retriever, he was equipped with 12,000 ships. Now it seems that there are only about 7,000 left at most."
Lieutenant General Turkhaojian glanced at the three-dimensional screen and said.
"It's really embarrassing! Why do you think that little guy likes to take risks so much? He is impatient and likes to divide his troops... I say, it would be great to give him a squadron commander! Why promote him to marshal!" Fafnir said.
Didn't expect an answer.
Veteran General Piccolo also stopped his advance in time when Fafnir retreated to reorganize the battle line, and assisted the 10th Fleet and the 13th Fleet to return to the formation. Now, the Allied forces were once again reunited, but they
There is a recess in the battle line - the Fafnir fleet.
"Now the whole army retreats, retreats toward the corridor! Get ready to start the retreat!" Veteran General Piccolo said in the admiral's communication, "The Thirteenth Fleet and the Twelfth Fleet, which have suffered less losses, serve as rearguards, and the Ninth and Eighth Fleets serve as rearguards.
The remnants of the fleet will be reinforced for you. It’s all up to you! Yang! Borodin! My Fifth Fleet and Tenth Fleet began to retreat first to establish a second front, preparing to start a rolling retreat!”
The Allied forces began to gradually retreat. They first quickly leveled the battle line - before Fafnir had time to advance further and break through deeply into the Alliance formation, they first gave up many positions. The Yang fleet in front of them was already facing Fafnir.
Neil slowed his advance, while Bikogu on the other side began to evacuate at high speed first. Borodin's fleet also quickly leveled up with Yang Wen-li's battle line, and worked together to exchange fire with Fafnir.
Fafnir had no intention of taking advantage of Reinhardt's fire, "No need to attack! Follow the normal speed! Line up in a row and let me fire with all your strength!" The two alliance fleets Fafnir faced together were already larger than
There were more of them, so he had no idea of learning from the dead ghost Vale to attack by force.
"Both the enemy and us played well!" Reinhardt murmured while looking at the screen.
Although the general headquarters is far behind and the overall command is not smooth, the Allied forces are brave and good at fighting. Especially the actions of the Thirteenth Fleet are extremely neat. Its commander is Yang Wenli! The so-called strong general has no weak soldiers.
, that’s the truth!
Reinhard looked at Oberstein casually.
"Is Gilfias not here yet?"
"not yet!"
The chief of staff simply answered. Whether intentionally or not, he asked in a probing tone: "Are you worried? Your Excellency!"
"It's not that I'm worried, I just want to make sure!"
Reinhard responded as if someone had told him something, and then stared at the screen in silence.
At this time, Gilphies, who was leading one-third of the entire Imperial Army, bypassed the sun of the Yamliza system and outflanked the Allied forces from behind.
“It’s a little later than scheduled, I’m a little anxious!”
In order to avoid the surveillance of the Allies, Gilphies sailed close to the surface of the sun. However, the strong magnetism and gravity were higher than they originally expected. Due to the influence of magnetism and gravity, the pilot had to use primitive calculations to determine the route.
Therefore, they fell behind in speed, but they finally reached the destination space.
Behind the Allied Forces - there is a vast swarm of space mines scattered around.
In the minds of the Allied Forces, even if the Imperial Army were to outflank the enemy from behind, these 40 million nuclear fusion mines would block its way. Although Yang could not be completely reassured, he also believed that even if the enemy had the means to break through the mine group,
It cannot be done in a short period of time. Therefore, there should be enough time to be fully prepared for the battle before the enemy reaches the battlefield!
However, the emperor's methods were beyond Yang's expectation.
"Emit directional heroic particles!"
Gilfias gave the order.
The Imperial Army successfully developed directional hero particles before the Allied Forces, and this war was the first time they were actually used in combat.
There are three cylindrical emitting devices, which are guided by the work ship to the mine group.
"If you don't hurry up, the damn enemy might get away!"
Colonel Kinz, one of the staff, said loudly, and Gilfias smiled wryly.
The dense swarm of particles passed through the group of mechanical mines like cloud pillars of interstellar matter. The heat and mass sensing systems installed on the mines showed no reaction at all.
Three hours later.
"The Jiefu particles have arrived on the opposite side of the machine mine group!"
A report came from the forward ship.
"Okay! Light the fire!"
Gilfias gave an order, and the three beam cannons at the front were set to shoot out beams in three different directions.
In an instant, three huge pillars of fire were seen piercing the mine group. After the white-hot flash disappeared, three large holes were dug into the group of mines, and all the mines in their positions were detonated.
However, in a short period of time, three tunnel-shaped safety passages with a diameter of 200 kilometers and a length of 30,000 kilometers were formed in the center of the mine group.
"Assault with the entire fleet! Advance at maximum combat speed!" Under the command of the red-haired young admiral, the Emperor's troops came out in unison. Twenty-five thousand warships rushed towards the back of the distant Allied Forces at high speed.
At this moment, the order "Salvo! All-out salvo!" sounded on the Allied communication circuit. Three thousand Allied warships had arrived from Iserlohn Fortress and had been waiting here for a long time - Marshal Robles
The fleet directly under my command dispatched from the fortress and the last reserve force of the alliance opened fire.
This force was ordered by Marshal Robles to go to the Yamliza system to strengthen the frontline cluster. However, when it advanced to the vicinity of the mine group, Yang Wenli suggested and Lieutenant General Biko approved "This fleet will
Use it to protect our last retreat... Don't join in the melee, their mission is to keep an eye on our retreat, and use it to fill the battlefield and act as a rearguard of the fresh force during retreat."
They have been staying outside the mine group in the Yamliza system for more than four hours. No matter how the front line is fought, Lieutenant General Biko has never ordered them to abandon the mission ahead and strengthen the formation. Now,
This backhand finally exerted their due and huge effect!
Three thousand warships launched multiple rapid salvos! The forward of the Imperial outflanking fleet just emerged from the passage and suffered a heavy blow. Gilfias lost three men forever in just twenty minutes.
The formation of a thousand high-speed battleships was completely disrupted. If these three thousand alliance battleships were not eliminated, it would be completely impossible to successfully attack the back of the alliance's main fleet.
"The Empire's outflanking fleet appears behind!" News appeared in the Allied Forces' communications that caused the morale of all soldiers to drop.
"Stop the broadcast! The entire fleet immediately began to accelerate its retreat! The defense lines of our fleet and the Tenth Fleet have been completed! Yang! Borodin! Hurry back to our rear and set up the defense line again! We need to move quickly! Marshal Robles'
The direct fleet can only buy us an extra hour and a half at most!"
Reinhard's face turned pale, "We can't destroy all the enemies!"
"We still won the victory! Your Excellency!" the chief of staff of the prosthetic eye said still without emotion.
It only took Gilfias less than an hour to successfully drive away the Alliance's warships and eliminate more than two-thirds of the enemies, but in the end it was too late to arrive at the scheduled location in time, and the Alliance also successfully completed the attack.
With the alert actions at the rear, the speed of retreat accelerated. Gilfias could only attack the Allied forces from the side - because the 12th Fleet, which retreated first, was already blocking the Allied forces' rear path that he planned to cut off...
.
The battle has come to an end, and the Allied forces retreated into the corridor one after another, covering each other.
"A call from the headquarters! Return after mopping up the remaining enemy forces!"
Imperial Communications Officer issues report.
The defeated ranks of the Free Planet Alliance quietly embarked on their way back to Iserlohn Fortress. They lost more than half of their ships. There were only more than 32,000 ships returning to Iserlohn, and only 1,700 of the 30 million soldiers who went on the expedition.
Millions came back - Fortunately, the Alliance's contraction was relatively timely, and there was not much loss in ground support and marine troops. Moreover, many of the battleships damaged in the early stage were repaired in Iserlohn. In the end, the number of battleships deployed by the Alliance was originally one hundred thousand.
, and now more than 60,000 ships have been lost.
The empire's losses also made Reinhardt's face turn pale. His marshal's palace originally contained half of the empire's actual fleet, more than 90,000 battleships. Now it has lost three fleets and an admiral has died. After the final restoration,
There are less than 50,000 warships left, which is no better than the Alliance in terms of losses. Fortunately, he has completed the campaign goal assigned to him - to push back the Alliance's attack. However, the strength of the Marshal's Mansion can
It is said that there has been a huge death, and it is estimated that the great nobles can celebrate together.
The losses of Fafnir's fleet were the largest in history - more than 3,500 battleships were beyond repair, and the death toll was close to 300,000.
"The blond kid seems to have to hold on... I wonder if he will learn to behave better." Lieutenant General Shute Kehaojian said to his old friend and superior.
"I don't think he will learn to behave. Maybe he will be more impatient... After all, the pressure from the nobles is not child's play, but those maggots may not have that ability. In the end, they will be defeated by the golden retrievers one by one...
.Who knows." Fafnir replied.
This defeat will have a profound impact on the politics, economy, society, and military of the Free Planet Alliance! When calculating the lost funds and the survivors’ pensions and annual salaries that will be paid in the future, the financial authorities can’t help but change their expressions!
On the other hand, the military survivors and anti-war factions are all vehemently criticizing this expeditionary operation that has no chance of winning by the government and the military! Citizens who have lost their husbands and beloved children are filled with grief and indignation, and they strongly blame the government and the military.
Ministry incompetence.
The prestige of the war faction has plummeted, while the status of the anti-war faction has greatly improved. The three committee members who voted against the expedition were greatly praised for their opinions and were retained. Before the election the following year,
The Chairman of the Defense Council Treunisit temporarily took power.
In the study room of his home, Treunisit toasted to his foresight, and it was not long before he dropped the word "temporary" from his title.
In the military department, Marshal Schitter, the head of the United Operations Headquarters, and Marshal Lobos, commander of the Space Fleet, also resigned. Some people say that Lobos finally brought down his rival Schitter with his own failure.
When Reinhard returned from victory(?) in the Battle of Yamliza, he was unexpectedly greeted by a sea of mourning flags planted on the surface of Odin, the capital of the empire.
The emperor died!
He died of acute heart disease. The reasons for his sudden death, in addition to being obsessed with drinking and sex and improper conditioning, seemed to have a lot to do with the bloodline of the Goldenbaum royal family. He died too suddenly.
"Now, it's time to make an offer!" Two people far away from each other, one is the domineering golden lion, the other is the famous brutal "dragon" and the noble gangster made the same voice.
