What's the saying? Oh, by the way, when the soldiers abandon their moral integrity and start being shameless, there will be no problem with the puppet army.
Because the imperial army retreated too decisively, the remaining fleet, which had used up its main force, only achieved initial results, and could only watch the royal fleet return to the "north" of the far shore nebula.
However, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, this invincible imperial fleet was once again defeated in front of the Yulian fleet. Of course, everyone in the three armies was rejoicing, because they had been created by the "battlefield fog" before.
The mental stress is gone.
However, as the commander, Yu Lian was not happy at all.
He said to Luo Zeshi: "When they found out that their plan went bankrupt, they immediately evacuated the battlefield. They were never willing to fight, never go to the top, and were not greedy for credit. I bet that if we continue to pursue, they will lead us all the way back to the main force of the empire.
Within the range of artillery fire."
"Gathering and dispersing are common. This is indeed a superior military strategy. However, your response was also timely, and after all, we still took advantage of some tactics." Luo Zeshi could only comfort him like this.
Indeed, even if the losses of the previous reconnaissance fleet are included, the community has made a profit. However, Yu Lian feels that given the size of the Galaxy Empire, a small loss can be considered a win. Even if they give Yu Lian's fleet
The battleships and soldiers have increased their fatigue level a little, and they are also accumulating victory results.
But in the same way, Yu Lian must not allow the opponent to obscure the view of the battlefield and let the psychological pressure of constant panic destroy everyone's morale.
Even Yu Lian had to admit that although the scale of this battle was not large and the gains could not be said to be many, the inspirational effect was still huge.
In short, under certain circumstances, just like doing business, there is always a trade-off. How to weigh the trade-off is ultimately a matter of opinion.
Of course, for these things, as long as you, the commander, keep your head clear, it will be fine. There is really no need to pour cold water on ordinary soldiers.
Afterwards, the fleet spent another half a day to deploy another survey eye in the Stranger Galaxy and the Elisa Galaxy, and also dropped tens of thousands of unmanned detection robots of various types several times. From Blue
The latest product of Biao Company is the SC1000, which includes assembled products that are almost reaching the end of their useful life, and even the artificial retards used by space mining workers to capture meteorites. The main product range is as complete as the entire history of robots in the space age.
This is of course because of Luo Zeshi's suggestion to Yu Lian. The so-called best lurking is not to hide and hold your breath in the wilderness, but to stay among the crowd.
In this way, after a small conflict, the Community Army once again solved the fog of the battlefield in the corridor, although it may only be temporary.
Immediately afterwards, the main fleet returned to the fortress with the attitude of a victorious division, and then reorganized the reconnaissance fleet. Ensure that the fleet that conducts daily vigilance at the corridor and the mouth of the Star Gorge every day can hold at least two to three warships.
Patrol aircraft carrier.
"Is this a warning? In the past, it was enough to attack the fortress." Lieutenant General Sylvester couldn't help but said.
"But if it were before the Third Galactic War, wouldn't this be the size of the patrol fleet?" Yu Lianda said.
"The third galactic war? Brother Yu Lian, you can't scare me just because your old senior has never seen the world!"
"Of course it's not impossible. I just want to express my determination. Right?"
"Determined?" Lieutenant General Sylvester thought thoughtfully, and immediately showed an expression of realization: "Understood, when we see the Vice President, this is what we have to say to him, right?
?”
Uh, is that what I mean? That's probably what I mean. Yu Lian looked at the other person who was serious, and he quickly nodded vigorously and seriously.
"However, since we are determined to fight for the Milky Way, we must be prepared to resist step by step. Therefore, we should ask the Vice President to sit in Suncheon in the rear to mobilize all walks of life, call on the people, supervise war preparations, etc. He
Xin Shuntian at the rear can do much more than the fortress at the front. Is that right?" Lieutenant General Sylvester asked again.
"...Yes, yes. Yes! That's it! Please be sure to transfer it to Vice President Hierro's office like this."
This old senior learned to answer quickly, which really moved Yu Lian.
Then, there is the combat readiness of each squadron. Of course, these matters can be handed over directly to the commanders of each squadron, such as Major General Lesu and others.
So, in the next few days, the fleet with the battle cruiser and aircraft carrier as the core fought a back and forth with the empire at the entrance of the corridor. However, perhaps it was because no one had decided on the next strategic goal.
, the scale and losses of the battle were always controlled at an acceptable level of intensity.
However, this kind of turn-based battle certainly did not last long. When the time entered late November, the situation changed again.
The Empire's fleets at the entrance to the Lucknar Corridor and Count I Star Gap began to increase. Although Titans and Dreadnoughts, like the bosses guarding the bottom of the gate, would not appear easily, the battlecruisers gathered in the surrounding star fields quickly
They gathered more than twenty ships, as well as the same number or even more aircraft carriers.
This is actually not in line with the empire's consistent organizational style. You know, every one of the generals of the Galactic Empire is actually a complete cannon and giant ship advocate. But now, the one who gives the greatest sense of oppression to the Earth's soldiers is also
It's really not all kinds of ultra-long-distance bombardment, it's really just those dark fighter planes.
The L-77 Jiehuo sublight speed interceptor from the Skyfire Design Bureau, and the D9 Witch fighter jet jointly designed by Breeze Shipyard and Emerald Laboratory, all appeared in actual combat factories for the first time. These were all military products displayed at the Imperial Generalissimo's Palace last year.
The new weapons announced at the meeting were originally supposed to take two to three years to be officially put into service, but now something like this has happened.
You can tell with your knees that the reason why these gadgets were equipped to the Imperial Royal Fleet in advance was for the Blue Star Community's Thunder Strike Ship.
Of course, the Thunder Strike Ships are currently doing maintenance at the rear, and they are not caught off guard by the Empire's new fleet of fighter jets that are ready to go.
There are five groups of White Devil fighter jets on standby on the far shore front. However, they can no longer take advantage of the performance of the Empire's new Witch fighter jets.
Therefore, before the brutal fleet battle broke out, the brutal fighter plane strangulation battle began. In less than ten hours of fighting, the losses of both sides' fighter planes and pilots had already reached three digits.
When the battle situation was reported back to the fortress, Yu Lian made this comment: "It's still a dull battle, it's still a turn-based battle. It's just more cruel."
"However, we still have a certain home court advantage and can still take advantage tactically," said Luo Zeshi.
Yu Lian shook his head: "Is the battle loss ratio cheaper than the tactic of 1:2? I am not Pyrrhus. If this kind of bargain is repeated a few more times, we will be prepared to face destruction."
"So, are we going to increase the number of troops at the entrance of the corridor?" Luo Zeshi added solemnly: "The war ended yesterday, and the frontline warfare department has confirmed that there are traces of the Astral Knights and Star Dragons in the Elisa System."
"It seems that the tens of thousands of detectors we planted in the ambush are also useful." Yu Lian smiled. On the contrary, he thought this was good news.
"Yes, so this week, we have scattered 10,000 more. Now, all the unmanned detectors that can be transferred to the front lines in New China and the Far Coast have been transferred. This is all the credit of Commander Qi."
Ross said.
In fact, I also want to thank the Secretary-General of New China, Mr. Bernard Wood. Facts have proved that as long as these senior bureaucrats are willing to show their initiative, their work efficiency will not be low.
Of course, Mr. Qi's ability to make each of these bureaucrats move is definitely a manifestation of his ability.
"Withdraw all the guard fleets near the entrance of the corridor. They are planning to use force to suppress others, but I don't need to let myself fall into the empire's battle rhythm." Yu Lian ordered.
As a result, the strategic situation of both sides seemed to have returned to that of a week ago. Someone from the staff put forward some opinions on this. It was a young second lieutenant who had just graduated from the military academy last year.
Previously, Yulian's fleet launched an all-out attack from the fortress in order to re-ensure that the movement on the other side of the Nebula on the far coast would not be unilaterally closed to our side, and to expand the scope of security and patrol as much as possible to provide the maximum depth of defense for the fortress. Now,
The fleet has returned, so everyone's work has been in vain.
However, Luo Zeshi told the other party that for a whole week, the imperial outpost fleet did not dare to enter the corridor and the star canyon. This was already the result of everyone's victory, so why was it a waste of time? What's more, we took this opportunity to rearrange our arrangements.
monitor the network.
Now, tens of thousands of automatic detectors of various types are walking in more than a dozen galaxies at the entrance of the nebula, like sand and gravel scattered in the ocean. Even the empire cannot completely remove them in a short time. After the sky survey
The eye hides in these detectors and wanders randomly.
This kind of forward reconnaissance and warning arrangement, even if it is not airtight, can at least be worthy of an orderly evaluation.
At least, our side will not face the fog of war.
"Of course, the main reason is that since we have adopted the attitude that the entire fleet dares to pounce at any time, and have already caused the loss of capital ships to the empire, they no longer dare to block the waterway as they did before.
On the other hand, our officers and soldiers will not simply be frightened by this method." Luo Zeshi added at last.
From this perspective, the so-called strategic need of "defending the city must defend the country" can actually be barely maintained.
"...What if the Imperial Fleet starts to behave like a week ago?" Another staff officer asked.
"That can only mean that their main force has really arrived. But this time, we will never be unprepared." Luo Zeshi said.
Everyone thinks that the Adjutant's words are quite reasonable.
Yu Lian was very pleased with this. What was gratifying was that even with his own authority, there were still young staff officers who would put forward their own opinions and would not become mere yes-men. On the other hand, Luo Zeshi was
The judgment on the battlefield is becoming more and more accurate, and there is no lack of foresight. This old classmate has increasingly shown the luster of another timeline. It is a humiliation to continue to serve as his adjutant.
Sure enough, friends who are capable, honest and trustworthy should be sent out to lead troops. This is the self-cultivation of a qualified warlord...ah, this is how people can make the best use of their talents.
Things were just as everyone expected from the beginning. When Major Generals Le Su and Major Laois led the frontline squadrons to fight and retreat for a certain distance, they "accidentally met" in the I Earl-14 system.
The Dreadnought Nuwa is "on standby".
The pursuing Imperial battle patrols, like a pack of hyenas seeing a mature lion patrolling its territory, immediately turned around and fled with their butts between their legs.
On the other side, the squadron led by Brigadier General Bazin, with the Xiaguang-class cruiser as the core of the battle, has also quietly arrived at the middle of the Far Coast Nebula. They even touched the location of the Kerna Galaxy.
The Bazin fleet even found hundreds of millions of tons of ice from the ruins of Kerna Fortress to replenish the fleet with domestic water. Then, with the help of the leading party, it began to head toward the empire on the other side of the nebula on the far bank.
The territory is quite close.
This so-called guide party is a group of smugglers who have been running in the Far Shore Nebula for thirty years. The leader is Captain Hanford of the Ten Thousand Years Eagle.
When Brigadier General Bazin reported the name of the old smuggling captain, Yu Lian didn't even need to look at his resume, and felt that this matter must be reliable. After all, this "Captain Ford on the Ten Thousand Years Eagle" is a smuggling expert.
He is a legendary figure in the adventure world. He is indeed a luxurious figure who accepts both black and white, and he is also very moral.
Yu Lian even received favor from him in his previous life.
Of course, in this life, Captain Hanford has even taken up the job of delivering messages to various rebel armies in the empire, and he is probably not far away from being on the Inquisition's wanted list.
Even Tan Jize, who had fled to who knows where, specifically mentioned Captain Ford's help in his letter, so he was naturally a trustworthy interstellar friend.
Speaking of which, since Captain Hanford has traveled all over the smuggling routes in the Far Coast Nebula, it is not surprising that he met Commodore Bazin.
If all goes well, this fleet should appear on the other side of the Far Coast Nebula within half a month, but I don’t know whether it will be in the territory of the Bakvi Republic or the Grand Duchy of Letalin. But no matter which one it is, it will definitely happen.
Threaten the supply routes between the Empire's heartland and the far shore front.
The twenty or so battleships under Commodore Bazin are even smaller than the Thirteenth Fleet. Yu Lian really doesn't expect them to achieve any brilliant results. But as long as they are on the opposite side and within the empire's sphere of influence,
That's enough.
Even if the main force of the imperial army is used up, the fortress will not be completely blind, nor will it be completely passive strategically.
