The battlecruiser Somin and its Thirteen Battleships were responsible for the rear break. In less than half an hour when the sublight speed missile group from the Hyperion approached the array of the Maytig fleet, the group of battlecruisers responsible for the rear break were
The fleet then assumed a posture as determined as a dead soldier, and rushed directly towards the Hyperion. It didn't look like it was breaking through or cutting off the rear, but it was clearly charging.
Faced with such a ferocious enemy, Fleet Yang had no choice but to give them a ride with admiration. Even the new fighter jets flying out from the Enterprise changed their focus of fire.
There was no way, the Suoming was in such a crazy state. During the charge, it fired continuously, and the frequency exceeded the safety limit of the main gun. More importantly, perhaps because these imperial soldiers were mentally prepared to fight to the death,
Instead, he added a layer of buff to himself, and the hit rate of the artillery attack was also inexplicably increased.
In this case, even Yang Xiyi could only order the transfer of attack targets.
Of course, what is worthy of pride is that even if the Yang fleet made plans to ambush and encircle the enemy fleet, it always maintained a three-point margin when attacking, leaving enough room for the bow guns of almost all capital ships to shoot.
Compared with the madness of the Suoming, the Yang fleet's bombardment was equally fierce, but also very organized and layered. The continuous barrage was like a breathless shower, and even the wind was
Being suppressed makes it difficult to move forward even half a step.
The imperial battleships led by the Somin were immediately set on fire one by one.
What is worthy of pride is that the intensive bombardment of the Yang fleet did have a perfect denial effect. Regrettably, in order to ensure the effect of the bombardment, their forward speed was naturally slowed down.
On the other side, during the retreat, the main force of the Maytig fleet did not forget to leave some souvenirs for the universe. During the fleet's turn, the three Clear Sky-class heavy cruisers that were originally on the left wing naturally moved to
At the end of the team, while escaping at charge speed, they dropped thousands of powerful antimatter mines into the deep space of the universe.
It can only be said that it is indeed the most perfect cruiser. Even the tactical actions of throwing away mines are full of professionalism.
The timing and position of their mines were very clever, and they opened up as if to form a network. The mines detonated by remote control opened a violent explosion isolation zone in the void, forcing the Eleanor fleet to perform the outflanking mission.
, and had to re-modify the cruise orbit.
By the time the battlecruiser Somin and her companions were turned into powder in the concentrated fire of Yang's fleet, the main force of the Maytig fleet was already far away.
However, even at this time, Eleanor Bonaparte, who was all a high-speed battleship, did not completely lose the possibility of pursuit. Even if her ship could not do it, the White Devil who had already taken off from the Saratoga
The squadron is also okay - they have been equipped with X33 fighters, and everyone is very motivated, eager to kill one or two imperial ships to honor the new fighter planes.
However, after a short hesitation, Eleanor Bonaparte finally gave up this tempting possibility: "Let the fighter planes return. In addition, ask the Hyperion for our next instructions."
She received a response in less than half a minute. The headquarters instructed that after the Eleanor fleet assembled, it would immediately retreat from the direction of gravity well No. 3 in this system without waiting for the team to rendezvous.
Is this a temporary modification of the strategic plan? According to the original plan, if everyone can successfully annihilate the enemy Maytig fleet, Eleanor and Yang Xiyi will also divide their forces.
The Eleanor Squadron, which is composed entirely of fast battleships, will pass through the Dawn Highway channel to monitor possible imperial troop movements in the direction of Unity Pass. Yang Xiyi's fleet will divert again to Yaochi, and maybe find an opportunity to conduct a sneak attack.
The Ring of Miracles is a little cheaper.
But it was obvious that Yang Xiyi had changed his mind and was probably planning to have everyone disperse and move towards the secret base being run by Major General Orwell and Colonel Michel.
If Yang Xiyi's prestige in this fleet was not nearly equal to that of the Spirit of the Universe, some of his subordinates might have muttered something weird like "Commander is too particular about safety first."
But in fact, less than twelve hours after Elinu and Yang Xiyi evacuated the galaxy respectively, the unmanned deep space probe that stayed in place captured a new mass signal, which was another imperial squadron.
, the size should be the same as that of the Maytig fleet.
After receiving the signal, Akinayama Hachiman and his staff spent five minutes analyzing it, and it was basically determined that it was Rear Admiral Haslon's fleet.
Now, leaving aside the various Imperial Alliance armies that can serve as cannon fodder and eyeliners, the number of Imperial squadrons hiding and hiding in the Dawn Star Territory and the Yang Fleet should be around eight, commanded by three lieutenant generals and five major generals respectively.
, are all experienced generals. Maytig, who was ambushed just now, and Haslon, who just arrived, are one of them.
In order not to be defeated individually, the total strength and combat capabilities of each squadron are higher than those of Yang's fleet, so that there will be no future problems. Of course, this was only figured out by the Imperial people at the cost of blood.
Of course, it was the Yang fleet before it received reinforcements and supplies through the Tower of Babel.
Of course, the Haslon fleet saw the wreckage of the Maytig fleet at the first time. It almost didn't stay in place and immediately moved away. It seemed that it was going to join the friendly forces.
"If Medige doesn't leave and forms a stronghold to actively defend and hold out until Haslon's reinforcements arrive, we still don't know who will win." Akinayama Hachiman pondered.
Yang Xiyi said: "Then, I will be happy to have another big meal. A twelve-hour time difference is enough. Obviously, Major General Maytig should have realized at the first time that we have received reinforcements.
He obtained the battleship. He probably felt that this information was more important than the battle itself."
At this point, he sighed: "Although this general is not well-known, he has been entangled with us for so long. At critical moments, he also has rational judgment and the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist. He is indeed a famous general! No wonder Yu
There are several Imperial squadron generals who think so highly of him that they play hide and seek with me, but he is the only one who has been specifically mentioned by name."
Yang Xiyi is a gentleman, and of course he is not shy about praising his enemies. However, although his words sound like he is praising his enemies, they are more like praising himself.
So, after finishing his praise, he sighed again: "Really, if only the enemy generals in the New World were all the smart fools Yu Lian met at Blood Gate and Saide."
These words not only seemed to be flaunting oneself, but also seemed to be mocking Yu Lian as well.
If it were based on the logic of office politics, there must be people with dark minds who would think that there must be a conflict between the two officers, Yang and Yu.
Fortunately, people with a dark mentality will not survive long in Yang Fleet's atmosphere. Now that you have the energy, let's think about practical combat issues.
Therefore, Major General Ducasse, who had just joined the fleet, asked thoughtfully: "But, our original plan was to completely annihilate the Medigue fleet in this type, right? But we still let him run away and let him find out.
Reinforcements. Soon, Marshal Farrell on the other side of the Miracle Circle will also know about it, right?"
"Of course your worries are also the reason for our worries." Yang Xiyi acted as if this was part of the plan: "However, the reinforcements will be exposed sooner or later. The generals of the empire, even when everyone is fighting against the Blood Sect,
The big cats are just as nervous and will realize the problem sooner or later."
Major General Ducasse was startled for a moment, then showed a horrified expression: "You mean, the Tower of Babel will be exposed? But, this..."
"If all impossibilities are eliminated, no matter how unbelievable things are, they may be the truth." Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses.
"Besides, in such a galaxy full of Enlightenment relics, what does it mean if one or two Enlightenment Star Gates appear? Fortunately, the sky of the Star Gate is in our hands, and the rules of opening and closing...
Well, at least we have started research. Professor Zinov said last time that he has mastered the theoretical laws?" Yang Xiyi said.
The theoretical laws described by theoretical physicists are about as reliable as the finance discussed by financial bloggers. However, everyone has forgotten this, or in other words, is unwilling to think of it.
Akinayama Hachiman asked without any scruples: "So, if the imperial fleet guesses this, their main force will definitely be dispatched here. In order to find the existence of the Star Gate?"
Yang Xiyi looked at his staff adjutant and praised: "Lieutenant Colonel Qiu Mingshan, Yu Lian also said that you are the most suitable to be the chief of general staff. Now that I see it, it is indeed the case!"
This must be praising himself again, right? Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses expressionlessly.
"So, in such a short period of time, you formulated a new tactic and made the Tower of Babel your bait?"
"Playing hide-and-seek with the superior enemy forces, of course, you can only use all possible means. At critical moments, you can become a bait at any time, and of course I am no exception." Yang Xiyi said in a regretful tone.
Major General Ducasse could only continue to be horrified. He now felt that Yang Xiyi looked like a wise general following the tactical style of thinking, but now it seemed that he was clearly a madman following the style of crazy gambling.
Of course, what shocked him even more was what these two people just said. According to Akinayama Hachiman, Yang Xiyi quickly formulated a new combat strategy after discovering that he could not completely annihilate the Maytig fleet?
As for whether he used the Tower of Babel as bait or something, I always feel that this guy did it deliberately.
Of course, as a veteran born in New China, he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction. He only hoped that the canopy on the other side of the Tower of Babel could really have its due effect and that it could be hidden for long enough under the empire's search for mountains and seas.
time.
At this time, I heard Akinayama Hachiman analyze again: "However, if we want to attract the enemy's main force nearby, there will inevitably be gaps in the remaining channels in the Dawn Star Territory. Therefore, the next step for your Excellency, Commander, is actually to
…”
"Hide and seek is not a strategic goal, and the purpose of guerrillas is not to swim, but to attack. In the past, we were not strong enough, but now that we have received reinforcements, we must be a little more dedicated." At this point, his expression was still unhappy.
, with the face of a social animal who has received a hard job.
"I understand, so you really did it all carefully!" It was not Akinayama who said this, but Major General Ducasse, who looked suddenly enlightened.
Of course, after he found out that he had made a mistake, he wanted to kill himself with a gun.
"You are right. When I owned the Tower of Babel, I was thinking about how to use it. Even if there was no encirclement and annihilation war, I would do it this way." Yang Xiyi's face was magnanimous.
Major General Ducasse quickly stood at attention and said: "Then sir, our next step is to attack the Ring of Miracles?"
On the whole, this statement is still 40-50% sincere. As a former officer of the local security fleet, he really did not expect that one day he would also fight in the New World. But since he is already here, why don't he check in at the Ring of Miracles?
, it would be such a pity.
"If there is a chance... I will." As a gentleman with high emotional intelligence, Yang Xiyi will certainly not let the old general down completely, but he still said: "But you should also know that even if we can deal with the miracle,
Even if we cause some damage to the main force of the enemy fleet in the ring, it will not affect the overall situation. Moreover, we do not have any prerequisites to recover the Ring of Miracles."
In fact, in Yang Xiyi's view, the explosion in the 1427th plate of the Miracle Ring was not a signal sent by Major General Mallowan to everyone.
There are very few own fighters left in the Circle of Miracles who are still resisting. Their goal is to persist for a longer period of time, and they can still make big news and attract the attention of the empire.
In this case, there is no need for friendly forces to come and take risks to rescue you.
Of course, Major General Ducasse did not have any disappointed expression, and even looked a little touched and determined: "I understand. In fact...Sir Yang, although I am a common man with very shallow eyelids, I am not a fool. I am not a fool."
Understand that you and Chief Yu are actually the same kind of people, and your wisdom and strategies are as vast and far-reaching as the sea of stars. It is impossible for me to follow your thinking in this life, but you only need to treat me as a useful tool.
That’s enough!”
Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and felt that he had learned a lot. He thought to himself, who said that the guard fleet in remote star areas does not have talents?
Yang Xiyi nodded. Now that everyone has unified their thinking, they can move on to the next step.
He pondered for a moment and then began to give the order: "Inform Eleanor Bonaparte's fleet that, under the premise of ensuring safety, they must rush to Wertheim to make peace with Major General Orwell before March 10th.
"
There are more than 10,000 pioneers and more than 5,000 marines farming in the underground caves of the planet Wertheim. They should also know the existence of the Tower of Babel so that they can persist for a long time.
In addition, the cabin of the battlecruiser Fafnir contains some special equipment and 10,000 tons of special cold-resistant grains, which are also very useful for the construction of underground cave bases.
"Then, before June, go to the vicinity of the Eunotia galaxy and meet with my department."
Of course, this is on the premise of ensuring the safety of the entire fleet. However, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing all the time, Eleanor Bonaparte should be aware of it.
Akinayama Hachiman, who had been building and fighting in the Onotea galaxy for more than half a year, just glanced at Yang Xiyi through his glasses, but continued to record without stopping in his hands.
Major General Ducasse began to subconsciously open the star map. After all, he was still a "newcomer" and was not very familiar with geographical coordinates. However, when he found the location of Onotia, he couldn't help but exclaimed on the spot:
"This, this galaxy? It's very close to the Fortress of Unity!"
"Actually, it's a week's journey. Moreover, there is no unity fortress in the Dawn Pass galaxy. However, this is still an important pass in the Dawn Star Territory." Akinayama Hachiman said while sorting out the orders: "We have not recovered the Miracle.
Even with the power of Huan, it is also impossible to regain Dawn Pass."
"I have no such plan. If I hadn't blown up the Unity Fortress at once, we could still discuss it, but now..." Yang Xiyi seemed to regret it.
