Chapter 1698 Crazy round battle

Looking at the direction, it should be the Imperial fleet, engaged in a battle with the automatic turret array deployed between the two armies.

The battle was indeed fierce, but Yu Lian always felt that something was wrong.

You know, you have deployed tens of thousands of automatic turrets of various types at the front of the fortress, which are divided into 25 areas. If the enemy really wants to break through these artillery arrays, it will have the best effect if the entire army comes out.

of.

Or a tentative attack? Yu Lian made this judgment. However, as the supreme commander, he should not make arbitrary comments at will.

Yu Lian was thinking this, but when he hurried back to the fortress headquarters, the battle was already over.

Therefore, Yu Lian, who had just stepped off the transport boat, was stunned for several seconds before he couldn't help but said: "This is too fast. How about sending a cook over to teach them some kidney-tonifying medicinal meals?"

"Yes, sir, you can even send some prescriptions and ingredients. This will give you the demeanor of a famous general in ancient times. In the future, it will definitely become a grace that will be passed down to future generations." Feifei, who came over, agreed with her face.

However, she still gave the latter a blank look from an angle that only Yu Lian could see, and then reported: "The ones launching the attack were the battlecruiser Shen Goose and eleven cruisers, preparing to attack us with ultra-long-range sublight speed missiles.

The automatic turret array. Subsequently, a battle broke out with the patrol led by Brigadier General Fiennes. The enemy was not interested in fighting, and the artillery battle within the effective range did not exceed half an hour before it naturally broke away from the battle line."

The combined fighting time between the two sides did not even exceed an hour.

"They are not war-loving at all, more like they are here for a fight," Feifei said.

Yu Lian nodded slightly. Yes, this was not too fast, it was clearly too slow to get in.

However, even if you really don't go in at all, if you rub it too often, you will still get bald.

The war has progressed to this point. Even if you think with your toes, you can tell that the Imperial Army has retreated this time, but they will be back soon.

"Is this the situation you have been avoiding?" Feifei asked.

Yu Lian nodded: "What I don't want to see the most is for the empire on the opposite side to form a stronghold with us and fight a useless war. All the previous combat purposes were to slow down the progress as much as possible. However, there will still be consequences in the end.

It's the limit. Feifei, the longer I serve as the commander of the First Army, the more I discover this truth... A person's power has its limit after all. The power of a soldier also has its limit."

Feifei couldn't help but her eyes lit up: "So, what do you understand? Yu'er, are you ready to surpass the soldiers?"

Yu Lian couldn't help but shudder, wanting to observe the reactions of the people around him, but then he realized that the other person was speaking in a whisper.

"The gap in national power is reflected in all aspects." Feifei said.

"It's really a dangerous topic. The more I think about it, the more it makes people anxious and confused. And my mind and energy have their limits. I can still only focus my limited energy on the things in front of me." Yu Lian

Shaking his head: "Is there any news from Brigadier General Bazin?"

Feifei shook her head.

Yu Lian suddenly became a little worried.

The last time he received news about Commodore Bazin's attack fleet was more than forty days ago.

According to the report on that call, if everything goes well, their fleet should have penetrated into the Hubei sector on the border of the empire. However, judging from the information currently available, the empire should have already known about this fleet.

If they exist, they will definitely try their best to encircle and suppress them.

This attack fleet has made many achievements, but after all, the main active area is within the territory of the Imperial Association Army. In fact, the forces they have at their disposal have always been very limited. According to paper data, it is not even the empire.

A sector patrol fleet or a rival to that border lord.

It is conceivable that Father Bazin's life will not be easy. In other words, the closer he is to the empire, the greater the pressure he will have to bear.

Yu Lian was even mentally prepared to receive the bad news that their entire army had been annihilated.

Feifei said firmly: "We will receive the latest news soon. This is my intuition."

If it had been in the past, Yu Lianyue would have thought that she was trying to comfort him. She was such a good woman after all. But now, since he already knew that the other party was the powerful Black Moon, it might be the intuition of a psychic.

Although Yu Lian himself didn't have the intuition in this regard, he was still a little hurt.

Soon, everyone in the staff department came up with a feasible combat plan. The rough content was to put a formation of highly mobile Yinglong-class battlecruisers on standby, which could lurk behind Fortress No. 3.

Once the enemy sends out this small fleet to harass them again, attack with all their strength to eat them up.

"If every time the enemy harasses us on today's scale, how long will it take us to complete the total annihilation?" Yu Lian asked rhetorically.

"...It will take at least half an hour." Chief of Staff Tovey replied bravely. Of course, he knew that what he reported was a very conservative theoretical data, and it was almost impossible to see the data in reality.

"However, they can also retreat immediately. Just like we have done in past wars."

Having said that, after all, it was a strategy formulated by everyone in the staff department, and it was also the most executable plan. Of course, Yu Lian ordered everyone to start executing it.

He is also thinking now, if there really is a super fortress cannon in this universe that can hit one or two astronomical units away. In this way, if any enemy fleet dares to show up and cross the center line, it will directly bombard it with one cannon.

That’s it.

...However, in this way, all war ethics and behavioral patterns are actually completely different.

So, do I have to thank the Galactic Empire for not thinking about using the Colossus now? Doesn’t this mean that they still adhere to martial ethics?

But then again, the comrades have always been emotionally stable regarding the huge threat that the Colossus may pose. Although they know that this is an epoch-making strategic weapon, they have no intuitive understanding of its true destructive power. Naturally,

It will be ignored subconsciously.

In short, in the following period, Yu Company also gathered the few arsenal ships in its hands. These battleships have now been used by Yu Company as semi-mobile turrets, but at this time, they returned to the battleships

From a standpoint, it feels a bit like the Renaissance.

These warships equipped with high-power rail guns quickly crossed the center line established by the treaty and launched a fierce bombardment, trying to attract the opposing imperial fleet to attack proactively.

You know, after the emergence of the lightning strike ship, the setting that the arsenal ship is the prey of thin skin and big stuffing has almost become recognized by the top military leaders of various countries.

Therefore, how many design departments and shipyards have been tossed to pieces, and how many designers and technicians who have spent their entire lives in the field of arsenal ships have been reduced to the tears of the times, but this is no longer important.

The highly mobile empire even ordered to stop the construction of all arsenal ships and guard ships. On the slipway, they were refitting light carriers and heavy cruisers. If they couldn't be refitted, they would rather dismantle them. Of course, what they wanted was this kind of wealthy and powerful killing force.

Cut decisively.

Now, since I have thrown away so many prey, I may have attracted some enemies. At that time, as long as I trap the opponent a few times, I may be able to disrupt the empire's offensive rhythm.

However, it is obvious that Marshal Ikenluojia and the senior officials of the Imperial Army on the opposite side have unified their thinking long ago. With the consistent military quality of the Imperial Army, once the upper-level leaders unified their thinking and issued orders and prohibitions, they would never be allowed to do so.

Confused by little tricks.

There is no chaos in such a huge imperial fleet, and all kinds of tactical maneuvers are precise and efficient, as regular as the movements of robots.

The more they act like an immovable mountain, the more restless the people on the opposite side of the earth will be.

Then, on April 5, the imperial fleet launched another attack. This time, they changed from their usual immobility and directly mobilized more than 200 warships, crossing the center line in one fell swoop.

At that moment, the fortress was in a state of panic. Everyone even felt that this was an all-out general attack by the Imperial Army on the opposite side.

However, when the lookouts and surveillance departments put the latest situation on the star map, even Yu Lian couldn't help but frown.

"Is this...um, the so-called rain of flowers tactic?"

On the star map, the triangular arrows representing the once-combat fleet were indeed sprinkled into one's own surveillance range. The scene did have the smell of a hidden weapon being sprinkled into the scene.

The Imperial Army seemed to have been inspired by the battle the day before. They organized the ships into groups of more than thirty with battle cruisers and aircraft carriers as the core, and then used wheel battles to continuously launch raids on the forward Fortresses No. 2 and No. 3.

.

This is one of the largest sub-fortresses in our hands. Although the construction time is limited, only 70% of the old senior's plan has been completed, and the quality is only half of the main fortress No. 1, but after all, high-power fortress cannons are still installed.

of.

To be honest, with the composition of these lightly-armed battleships of the imperial fleet, once they are hit by the main guns of the fortress, they are only likely to be hit by a series of two or three. Some small boats are even likely to be involved in tragic events in the energy heat wave measured in megawatts.

Burning, melting and even evaporating, the ship and the people inside will be reduced to atoms in pain.

Yes, no matter how fast and highly maneuverable these lightly-armed small fleets are, they cannot completely avoid the Earthlings' counterattack. However, they still enter the battlefield without hesitation.

In Yu Lian's opinion, this was more or less like a skirmish line charge.

In an instant, the blazing white light waves projected by both sides were like a stormy wave composed of hot air, entangled fiercely and crazily.

This was a very fierce battle, and the density of firepower brewed in a unit of time within an hour even exceeded the two-wing attack that was anticlimactic the day before yesterday.

However, after more than two hours of artillery battle, the imperial fleet never gained a stage advantage, so it fired a dense symbolic salvo, and then retreated step by step behind the line of fire.

The ordinary soldiers on this side of the earth were cheering for their success in repelling the enemy, but the commanders did not dare to relax at all. Under the order of Yu Company, they quickly led their subordinates to start repairing equipment, collecting the wounded, and replenishing ammunition.

and energy, not daring to relax at all.

This was indeed the case. Less than twelve hours later, the mighty Imperial fleet came back again in a swaggering manner. This time, it was still a fleet of more than 200 ships.

However, this time, in addition to battlecruisers, there were also sizable aircraft carriers on the battlefield. A large number of attack aircraft equipped with powerful bombs appeared on the battlefield. It was obvious that the empire had no intention of attacking the battlefield at all.

The winner was decided in the battle between fighter planes, and all they wanted to do was knock off the community's turret array like a walnut.

It's not just the Empire's Purple Lightning Dragons that are covering their actions, but also the Aegis cruisers that are advancing despite artillery fire.

This battle still lasted less than two hours. The Imperial Army's losses this time were slightly higher than last time. Those attack aircraft were also intercepted by the Phantoms.

Facts have proved that the modification effect of the Phantom aircraft equipped with light wings is not satisfactory for the time being. Although there will be problems such as the body deflection and the shield function being reduced after it is turned on, it can still play a very important role when the bayonet is red and the life-threatening charge is made.

The effect was good. The Empire's attack planes were overwhelmed.

But even so, they succeeded in tearing apart the turret array at the F12 area point.

"We lost 1,284 automatic turrets, 2 light cruisers, 2 destroyers and 3 assault ships, as well as 86 fighter planes... On the other hand, it is conservatively estimated that at least 200 imperial military planes were shot down. In addition,

Eight Aegis cruisers and three Ruby-class light carriers were sunk. In addition, the battlecruiser Flying Fish was sunk. Judging from the current exchange ratio, the performance of the Imperial Army is indeed very ugly," Feifei reported.
