Chapter 1424 How many more times can you burn it?
Luo Zeshi probably felt this. After the fleet marched for another half day and entered the T2 galaxy, he smiled again: "It's nothing more than the empire's dreadnought. It's not like we haven't fought before. Last time we were in
On the high seas, it’s 4 versus 6.”
Yu Lian felt comforted by the success: "Yes, it's 4 versus 4 now, and the advantage is mine."
Fortunately, the Earth side did not expect that the Imperial Vanguard would arrive early, and the other side did not expect that the Yu fleet would still have the fighting spirit to continue fighting after several battles.
This is indeed a crazy battle, and it is also a battle that Yu Lian does not want. He once again discovered that he is really just getting started in the art of war. If he is a truly famous general, he should try his best to avoid this kind of battle.
A head-to-head fight, right?
Fortunately, this is a world where great power belongs to oneself. When you are unable to break the situation, you can still rely on your personal courage.
He partially concentrated the firepower of all the dreadnoughts and battle cruisers, and cut off the Imperial Army's array with a central breakthrough. In the most violent way, accompanied by a tragic feeling of destruction and fragmentation, he rushed directly to the vicinity of the Iron Fist, and then repeated his old tricks.
Shi Di used the "time and space teleportation" tactic of gravitational field bombs.
When Yu Lian and Youshuang personally boarded the imperial flagship, their command was inevitably confused.
At the same moment, the Sylvester fleet, which was originally in the position of being rescued, launched an attack on the flank on the spot, perfectly cooperating with the main attack of the remaining fleet.
After paying a bloody price, the Sylvester fleet successfully caused the total collapse of the Laitalin and Bakvi fleets. The defeated fleet, which lost its fighting spirit, naturally affected the empire's orderly formation. In order not to let the "white flag"
The infection spread to its own side, and the Empire even started bombarding friendly forces, which indeed showed the ruthlessness that a supervising team should have.
However, we all know that when the war team really starts to attack friendly forces, it is often the time to lose the war.
When Yu Lian personally led the marines to attack the bridge of the Iron Fist in an invincible manner, two of the empire's dreadnoughts were sunk one after another. One was killed in a sneak attack by the New Shenzhou Squadron, but in this battle, it was overloaded
The battle damage rate of the operating lightning strike fleet has exceeded 30%. The other one was beaten to death by the Lord God and Yinglong, but its last-minute counterattack also successfully caused serious injuries to the two Lord Gods.
The last Imperial Dreadnought withdrew from the battlefield with serious injuries.
Lieutenant General Germes finally ordered the entire ship to stop resisting, and bowed his head and presented his sword to Yu Lian.
In this way, the First Battle of Lucknar Corridor came to an end.
"Congratulations, respected General Yu Lian, you have won another victory." He said to Yu Lian.
"This is the fate that invaders deserve," Yu Liandao said.
"Evaluating from the moral high ground, the defeated general really has nothing to say. However, this universe is real. The empire and the alliance are as powerful as they are today, never because of moral reasons. We have never been because of moral reasons.
Failure is punished.”
Lieutenant General Germes seemed to be trying to make up for his defeat, but this was indeed the truth.
"You have indeed won another victory. But, Your Excellency, how many more times can you endure such a victory?"
Of course, this is more like making amends, but it is still the most unpalatable truth.
Since it was a stupid battle, the price could never be small. After this battle evolved from an encounter and a surprise attack to a frontal battle, although the Community side achieved brilliant results, it also paid a huge price.
Three of the ten Yinglong-class ships were sunk in battle, four were seriously damaged and had to be returned to the dock for overhaul, and two were diagnosed by engineers as unsustainable and had no choice but to be scrapped.
Regarding this point, Yu Lian even asked Xiao Hui for advice. The latter had said in the entire previous battle that he would "abide by the principle of neutrality" without any consequences. This time, he finally did not talk about any "prohibited matters", but "out of bounds".
"Based on humanitarian principles", he told Yu Lian that one of the ships, the Dyne, had indeed not been misdiagnosed and there was no room for rescue.
However, "out of humanitarian principles", the Chongming can be saved.
So, under Xiao Hui's apocalypse, Essen French led all the engineers and the damage control team to conduct a fierce heroic operation. After another engineer and four damage control soldiers died, the battle was finally completed.
This battlecruiser, with half of its hull broken off, was rescued. Although it is impossible to go to the battlefield again, it can still be driven back to the shipyard in Sinsunchon behind. After a year and a half of overhaul, it should still be full of health.
Resurrected with full status.
As for the God-class dreadnought, which is invincible across the high seas and far away from the nebula on the far coast, and is said to be the most perfect in history, two ships were seriously injured. The most seriously injured among them was the Zeus.
In the process of cooperating with the Fuxi's charge, the dreadnought encountered quite a fierce artillery attack. The front armor was seriously damaged, four of the main guns on the bow were destroyed, and even the heavy armor of the bridge was hit by an anti-matter torpedo.
broken.
The fiery torrent instantly poured into the bridge, killing more than half of the bridge members, including Vice Admiral Kuransov and the captain.
This is also the highest general of the Blue Star Community who died in the Milky Way since the war began.
This is the first time that Yu Lian has lost his deputy as the commander-in-chief. He cannot be said to be particularly sad. After all, they have only known each other for half a year, because the latter, as the second-in-command of the fleet, has always been in charge of the Zeus.
Yes, there is no deep friendship.
But even so, Lieutenant General Kuransov can be regarded as a very reliable colleague after all.
However, this was by no means the only comrade Yu Lian lost.
The 120 lightning strike ships that were invincible in the Battle of Blood Gate also accompanied the rest of the fleet into the battlefield. They still achieved considerable results, but the overall battle loss rate had exceeded one-third. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Squadron's
Vice-captain Lieutenant Colonel Snyder, who made great achievements in the Battle of the High Seas and was the first heroic pilot to launch a space bubble torpedo against the Empire's Flame Dragon class, also died in the distant star sea.
"He had bad luck. When he was completing the bombing and evading it, he happened to encounter a salvo of energy main guns from a battle cruiser. The ion blast swept the commander's ship into it, and the space bubble was completely destroyed by the energy blast in an instant.
." Afterwards, his wingman said this.
"However, the captain's torpedo gave the Duke of Sitissa a fatal blow! Yes, it was the dreadnought that was sunk by our tigers and leopards! Captain Snyder gave him a fatal blow!" Mars.
Lieutenant Cook added loudly.
"If my luck was a little worse, maybe I would have died just now." Annie also said.
She was piloting the New Shenzhou 1, the first light-winged space bubble lightning strike ship in history. In order to attack the huge star planter Leviathan, she was greatly strengthened by an ancient nano-robot that did good deeds anonymously.
Once. Compared with other lightning strike ships, it is indeed the difference between the experimental machine (in Gundam) and the mass-produced machine.
But even so, when the New Shenzhou 1 exhausted all its ammunition and landed on the aircraft carrier with difficulty, it almost hit the hangar door due to its unstable body.
The maintenance team later discovered that there were hundreds of densely packed bullet holes on the hull.
One of the energy-burning spots has burned through the outer wall of the ship's hull, and is only one step away from the engine's vital points.
This time the Battle of the Lucknar Corridor can truly prove that the thunder strike ship will only have the best effect during a surprise attack. But once the opponent is a large fleet of complete models, and the battle is launched, the battle will begin.
In a tough battle, the casualty rate will inevitably rise linearly.
...Sure enough, the miniaturization is still not enough! Yu Lian thought.
Now he can only continue to miss the new weapon that is still in the underground laboratory of Hongfeng Factory and the design drawings.
Really, it would have been better if this battle had been fought two or three years later. We would have been better prepared. The Blue Tusks and more advanced fighters can be determined, the structure of the light wing will be more stable, and the space bubble will be more reliable.
Torpedoes can be mass-produced, and the community can equip eight more Lord God-class ships. The Xiaguang-class cruisers, which are modeled after the Empire's new warships, may also be able to build three-digit numbers each, replacing the old types of ships in large numbers.
More importantly, he can train one million new-style troops in New China and bring glory to the earth... Well, the last one can't be accomplished in two or three years, but at least it can make the Pioneer Party the most powerful force in the community.
A group with combat effectiveness can begin to transform the country.
Gee, why is there suddenly and inexplicably an extra miracle ring?
Yu Lian always believed that even if there was no Ring of Miracles, the empire would sooner or later take action against the community. In his previous life, there was not even the Dawn Star Territory. Didn't they also launch a second war of conquest?
However, the largest relic of the Enlightened One in history was indeed one of the major reasons that prompted the empire to take action in advance.
Yu Lian looked at Lieutenant General Germes. Although this imperial general who was born into a noble family had put down his weapon and had a low-brow look, the malice in his words and the pride in his eyes were still there.
keeping it.
"If such a victory were to happen two or three more times, I would turn into smoke and dust among the stars, right?" Yu Lian showed a smile without any smile, and glanced at the other party lukewarmly: "But, here,
Before, you and your minions have burned more than ten dreadnoughts and millions of soldiers and civilians in the galaxy. This includes Your Excellency."
The muscles on Lieutenant General Germes' cheek suddenly began to beat uncontrollably.
"So, how many more times are you prepared to burn?" Yu Lian asked again: "In this universe, is the only enemy of the empire really the Community? After these several wars, all the countries in the galaxy, including those who were conquered within the empire,
How much respect do the races have left for the imperial dragon's power?"
Lieutenant General Germes' face flashed pale. He closed the corners of his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but was interrupted again by Yu Lian's wave.
"General Germes, we probably won't have many opportunities to meet each other. Let's wait until we really turn into dust among the stars, and then discuss victory and the future in front of the spirit of the universe."
He waved his hand, and the guards immediately left behind the gray-faced imperial general.
Half an hour later, Rozez reported back: "Lieutenant General Germes committed suicide."
In the history of the Galactic Empire's cosmic conquest, there are many examples of senior generals born into traditional military aristocrats being captured or surrendered, but more than one-third of them would commit suicide after the dust settled. According to the propaganda from the Empire,
They laid down their weapons to protect the lives of the soldiers. They were by no means cowards, but a very noble act.
Whether it is noble or not, only you know. Anyway, everyone knows that the heraldry laws used by the empire to deal with nobles are still very harsh. Generals born from nobles still need to muster up the courage to behave decently if they do not want to implicate their families.
"Understood, let's restrain ourselves according to the etiquette that meets the specifications." Yu Lian quickly ignored this scene and began to make arrangements in an orderly manner: "Contact Lieutenant General Sylvester, all injured are more than minor, but can still be executed.
Warships carrying combat missions will be sent back to Saituk for repairs. Those that cannot carry out combat operations will all be sent to Sinsunchon."
"There are several large ships, and I'm afraid they have to be sent back to Nantianmen to complete comprehensive repairs." Chief of Staff Mkawa said.
"Including Zeus?"
"I hope there is only the Zeus." Luo Zeshi said with a bitter smile: "But if that is the case, according to your standards, the remaining fleet will probably be reduced by one-third."
"This is also expected, at least it's much better than the worst-case scenario I expected." Yu Liandao.
"...What is your worst-case scenario?" Luo Zeshi asked curiously.
"The permanent loss of the battleship and personnel is more than 40%. The Fuxi was seriously injured. After half of the stormtroopers including you were killed, the Iron Fist was finally captured." Yu Lian said casually.
"...Well, let's not talk about why the subordinate is included in the stormtroopers, why must he die in battle?"
"In the final analysis, perhaps it is to reflect a tragic sense of destiny. The point here is that we will eventually win." Yu Lian glanced at Luo Zeshi, who had a dissatisfied face: "From the Iron Fist
The star map obtained has been restored?"
"Of course the restoration has been completed. Not only the star maps of the Republic of Barkway and the Grand Duchy of Laitalin, but also the military defense map of the Empire in the Far Coast Sector. It stands to reason that the Empire should have destroyed its own terminal before surrendering.
The information is there, but it seems that it was not completely destroyed.”
"Okay. Just based on this, the Electronic Engineering Department and Essen French deserve a heavy medal, even though I have signed many medals from them." Yu Lian said, his eyes drifting towards
He walked to the side of the bridge railing. Then, he saw Xiao Hui, who was wearing the uniform of a community marshal, carrying a Blue Star Medal of Freedom as big as a biscuit, hanging around his neck.
To be honest, if you really put a sesame seed cake on it, it would look better.
Yu Lian curled his lips, withdrew his gaze, and said to Luo Zeshi: "Then, please tell the entire army that after twelve hours, all warships that can continue to fight must be ready to depart. Commander Sylvester
The same goes for Bian... No, forget it, let me tell you in person."
Although everyone is the deputy commander of the outer ring theater, Lieutenant General Sylvester is ranked before him after all. Yu Lian feels that he still needs to express full respect to him.
Fortunately, Vice Admiral Sylvester's performance was more radical than Yu Lian imagined. He immediately proposed that all the fleets on the far shore that could still operate would be handed over to the latter's control, hoping to create
Get the most results.
He himself will return to Seide Fortress to take charge of maintenance, logistics and defense work.
"There has to be someone to guard the house, right? We have the same military rank, and we are all on the front line. If there is a conflict in the orders, it will trouble the soldiers, right? I am self-aware, and I have never been a famous general with both wisdom and courage, who can barely maintain a good life.
The defense line on the far bank will have to do its best. Otherwise, how could it be your turn to do something as exciting as raising troops to sweep across the enemy territory?"
