Chapter 686 Massive Attack on Rank II
,
spn "Enemy attack..."
When this word flashed through the mind of Lieutenant General Menggo, commander of Rank's sneak attack fleet, he immediately ordered: "Turn the fleet around, charge the main guns, and prepare for battle!"
Judging from the screen, the enemy's warships were densely connected to form a large starry sky. His long career as a space force allowed him to know without a computer report that there were about 200 main battleships. There were no destroyers, patrol ships, or cruisers.
and battleships.
Although the Principality of Rank has received a large amount of support from a giant family in the Silver Moon Empire and currently has 2,000 main battleships, the 75 main battleships that can be dispatched for this operation are already the limit. Most of the battleships are in
Fighting against the Nok Merchant Alliance, the Orion Alliance and some small countries, the others stayed in the capital star circle and were on alert."
"Could there be mysterious forces supporting the Chinese?"[
An idea flashed through Lieutenant General Meng Ge's mind. It was just right for Ranke's senior officials to refer to people in the Chinese Empire as Chinese for short.
As a senior general of the Rankine military, Meng Ge instantly recalled the Chinese information.
The cause of the incident was that the Lost Star Territory was discovered by the scientific expedition team. Subsequently, the Rank military attempted to occupy this unknown small star territory, but a conflict broke out with the indigenous civilization. Small-scale battles continued for five years.
Six years.
"Although this civilization has always been a small one, the number of main warships we have lost in battles over the years has actually reached more than 150. This, how is this possible?"
Seeing the numbers given by Zhi Nao, Meng Ge was immediately dumbfounded. The opponent actually snowballed so many battleships from the Rank military. If the 75 ships were eaten again this time, it would be a record of 200 ships.
This number is too terrible. Ranke has only lost more than 500 main warships in the past five or six years while fighting the Orion Alliance. But in these years, he has actually lost so many warships in the refueling tactics with the Chinese.
The battle between Rank and the Orion Alliance was a large-scale battle, and they only lost so much. In the piecemeal battle with the Chinese, they actually lost 150 ships.
"It seems that the problem is that we have always underestimated them. That is why we have been eaten by our opponents time and time again."
Vice Admiral Meng Ge no longer has time to reflect. In a few years, the Chinese have actually acquired more than 200 main battleships. You must know that in the previous evaluation, this country would not have more than 100 main battleships in total.
Now he understands that all this is the other party's conspiracy.
First, they held back the small fleet of the Rankine military and engaged in guerrilla warfare. Then they issued deterrent remarks, claiming that anyone who dared to launch a large-scale attack would blow up the shipping route.
As a result, Ranke's military was indeed fooled. Firstly, it had internal and external troubles and did not have the energy to deal with this small country. Secondly, it was afraid that if it was not powerful enough, it would really "force" the opponent to blow up the route, but it would be a loss. It was better to wait.
When you have accumulated enough strength, you can defeat it in one fell swoop.
Now, when seeing the opponent's fleet lineup, Meng Ge has already foreseen that the principality will face another extremely offensive enemy in this territory.
However, what we need to do now is to deal with the enemy.
"Report, the main gun of the second attack group has been charged."
Cai E raised his head, looked at the time, and then nodded to Sun Xiwu and Qin Baijiang, and ordered: "The first attack group aims at the belly of the enemy fleet and shoots at different intervals.
The second attack group changed its formation, aimed at the front of the enemy ship group, and opened fire two minutes later."
Since it is a sneak attack, there will naturally not be too many formation changes. The first attack group located in front of the fleet will launch a bombardment on the enemy's warships in the middle.
The two-minute "shooting" of the second fleet group will hit the enemy's front line, so that the enemy's front and middle will be attacked, and the speed of the enemy's escape will be greatly restricted.[
"First attack group fires!"
With an order, the 100 or so main battleships in the first attack group instantly lit up their main guns with a brightness comparable to several suns. Among these main battleships, there were about 30 old battleships and more than 60 remaining.
The main battleships are the newly built Tianlong-class battleships and Feilong-class cruisers.
Most of them are Tianlong-class battleships. Although the Feilong-class cruisers are lower in cost, their combat power is also much weaker, but they still maintain high speed and the standard configuration of two main guns.
"My Lord, more than two-thirds of the attack warships have dual main guns..."
Meng Ge's expression changed drastically at this time. He was originally planning to resist the first wave of attacks and then retreat while fighting, but now his intestines were filled with regret. If he had known better, he would have thrown away the tail and ran away.
It's too late now, we must fight.
"boom……"
75 main battleships marched together. Although they were not a dense group, under the first wave of sneak attacks by the Chinese fleet, 15 battleships and cruisers were blown up by salvos without even reacting.
Space junk.
"Speed up and escape!"
Fortunately, the main guns of the main battleships are not fixed forward. They can fire even if they are escaping from one side. Mengge can only do his best. He can afford the loss of 15 main battleships, but if the entire army is annihilated, even himself will be killed.
There was no way to escape.
Unless you surrender.
However, if they surrender now, all the family members of those mid-level and senior-level officers in the Lanc capital star circle will be secretly executed.
This is the cruelty of war, which makes the Rankin soldiers fight to the death on the front line and dare not withdraw.
The violent explosions did not scare away these Rankin soldiers. The strictness of military law and the cruelty of war forced them to follow orders, otherwise they would be shot on the spot. Officers at all levels even had the power to kill their subordinates on the spot.
"Quickly retreat!"
Meng Ge no longer cared about fighting back. The enemy's fleet strength far exceeded his own. Most of the battleships were actually equipped with dual main guns. Among his battleships, the dual main gun configurations were only some elite models that had just been obtained from the Silver Moon Empire.
Not a match at all.
"Long live, long live!!"
At this time, not only the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet was reveling in the carnival, but what was even more joyful was the audience in front of the television.
Just now, the Imperial fleet sailing in the picture suddenly accelerated. As the colonel explained that the main guns of the fleet were being charged, he suddenly saw the fleet jumping out of a small nebula, and a large group of enemy ships appeared in front.
Without warning, just open fire.
"Hit! Hit! At least a dozen Lank enemy ships were turned into powder."[
On the TV, the colonel suddenly stood up and saluted with both feet on the screen.
The first round of shelling was so fierce that the Lanks were dragged to the slaughterhouse like docile little sheep. They were slaughtered without any resistance.
In the picture, the smashed battleships against the background of the starry sky, and the huge explosions. The thrill of the battleships exploding, made the imperial audience extremely excited.
Compared with the anger when I saw my base station being destroyed by the enemy not long ago, now my heart is filled with happiness, passion and joy.
"This is war in space!"
In the new barracks, Hu Wenxuan looked excited, and his fists had already been clenched and trembling. After the tense and exciting anticipation, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet's blow was indeed effective, beating the enemy to pieces.
This kind of excitement can be compared to the excitement of breaking through a military general.
"Maybe one day, I will lead such a powerful fleet and defeat the enemy."
Hu Wenxuan knew that in addition to martial arts, he had finally settled on a path that he would strive for throughout his life.
The fight was exciting from the front, and it was lively from the back, but the person involved, Meng Ge, and the millions of Rank officers and soldiers felt as if they had met the God of Death.
"Accelerate!! Accelerate the evacuation!!"
The enemy is too powerful, three times as many as our own, and the number of main guns is more than five times that of our own. Such a battle is destined to be lost without a fight.
"Most of the enemy's warships are new warships, and they are still of unknown models. Where did they come from? Is it a gift from the Guluo Federation?"
Meng Ge felt that his brain was completely insufficient. There were too many things beyond his imagination. In the imagination of senior officials Rank, the Chinese Empire should be the kind that could cause some trouble, but was not enough to shake the indigenous people on the border.
It's just a civilized counterattack.
"Many battleships have reached the 3,000-meter level. Judging from the appearance of the battleships, their size and firepower have reached the standards of entry-level super battleships. This, how is this possible..."
When more data was fed back, I saw that the ferocious giant ships, with a terrifying length of 3,000 meters, were completely the size of an entry-level super battleship.
"Retreat, send an emergency message to the principality..."
He must immediately report the abnormal behavior of the Chinese so that the rear can prepare in advance. Otherwise, the nearest living planet, the B-class living planet Lagu, which is only more than a day's voyage from the border, may fall into the hands of the Chinese.
Already.
Run away, all he can do is run away.
"Report, the enemy is escaping at a faster speed!"
"Deploy all space fighters, and the second strike fleet begins to fire salvos. The other secondary batteries use the formation as a fire unit to fire freely."
Cai E calmly ordered that after the first and second rounds of main gun salvos, there would be a firepower vacuum period, and this vacuum period would need to be filled by secondary guns and space fighters.
"Xiang Cai, you can contact the Orions."
"Well, contact them and let them be ready to respond."
A mysterious radio wave spread in the starry sky and drifted to the Orion Alliance.
This is one of the borders between the Orion Alliance and the Principality of Rank. If you walk along this border and cross the barren starry sky on the frontier of the Principality of Rank, you will reach the location of the Chinese Empire's expedition fleet, which is also the exit of the Lost Route.
"Report, the Chinese have begun to take action. They lured the enemy deeper, and the Lanc's sneak attack fleet, which was fought with superior force, was retreating steadily.
The Chinese commander Cai E asked us to fulfill our promise and launch an attack in the border area at the same time to meet the fleet we purchased."
A lieutenant colonel communications officer reported to Lieutenant General Gao Long, the commander of the Orion Alliance 7th Fleet.
"Order, the entire fleet moves forward at full speed to meet the battleship we purchased!"
Lieutenant General Gao Long looked at the communication sent by the Chinese. The picture at the beginning was of a group of battleships firing a salvo of double main guns. The Lanc fleet was unable to fight back. Although it was a sneak attack, the intensity of the firepower was
It's really scary.
"That's the Tianlong-class battleship we purchased. My God, it's so perfect. The Lancians relied on the advanced battleships of the Silver Moon Empire and thought they could go sideways. Hahahaha. Now we have a more advanced battleship. The new one
This round of attack will definitely surprise them."
Vice Admiral Gao Long could no longer bear it and ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed.
Judging from the communications sent by the Chinese, they are going to keep their promise and launch a massive attack on Rank. Although it is also to seize the fruits of victory, they also fulfill their promise to sell as many as 150 Tianlong-class battleships as loan offsets.
Sold to the Alliance.
"Rank's end is not far away."
Gao Long looked at the Chinese fleet descending like a tiger in the picture, and suddenly felt confident. The Lank people's nightmare had arrived. (To be continued.)
