Hawaii time, December 2024, 12 at 19:1.

6 days until Christmas.

The Stargate Pacific Fleet launched Operation Ulysses' Revenge.

This is the largest military operation of mankind since World War II.

Even in the dark and stormy night, the sky over the western Pacific near the equator was illuminated by grand fireworks.

Stargate commanders, standing in front of the three-dimensional sand table and watching the war scene from a distance, even Stern King, who has always been cynical, looked extremely solemn.

They didn't expect to encounter extremely tenacious resistance even in the face of the Tai Chi Dragon Second Fleet, which should have been easily defeated.The Tai Chi Dragon Warriors who have lost their information combat capabilities use full manual operations to resist the mercury-like attack from the star gate. It stands to reason that a modern ship that cannot use electronic equipment is equivalent to a coffin floating on the sea. This should be a time It was a unilateral massacre, but the battle was so anxious that even Stern King was shocked and surprised.

Gazing at the battle in the heavy rain, Alfred Irene Dupont said in a low voice: "Although I know that Tai Chi Dragon is known for its strict discipline, I am still surprised."

"I have played against them in Europa, and I think I know their iron will and unyielding fighting spirit, so I raised their strength benchmark in my heart, but I have to say I still underestimated them" Stern · Jin threw down the coat he was wearing, turned around and walked towards the door of the strategic preparation room, "Prepare the plane, I have to go to the scene."

—————————————————————

At 2024 o'clock on December 12, 19, the Western Pacific Front.

Nie Xiangdong, the commander of destroyer 057113 of Taijilong Second Fleet, pushed away the officers and soldiers who tried to pull him out of the bridge and let him escape by helicopter, and continued to watch the rainstorm through the porthole with his night vision goggles.

Stargate's planes and the Chosen Ones formed an attack line and were rushing towards the fleet.

"CTM! Do you think I won't be able to fight without electronic equipment!"

"Captain, it's too dangerous here! Why don't you retreat to the battle command room!"

"Fuck you! All the instruments there are paralyzed, and I'm sitting there alone in confinement?" Nie Xiangdong pointed to the captain's seat in front of the porthole, "This is my place!"

"commander"

"Don't talk nonsense, the missiles are transferred to the system to launch, carry out the external single-body radar for me, put on the infrared sight and launch one by one. Don't waste ammunition! Help our Tai Chi Dragon fighters kill this group of sons of bitches of!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Gu Shining once again activated the carrier after death, and his experience points were enough for him to hang it three more times.If he died three more times, he would drop to level 32, but he had no choice.A long-range attacker like him, who is the least likely to die, must also go up to the air to intercept the enemy's attack, and then he can judge how dangerous the battle situation is.

In a war, when the number and strength of carriers are not much different, the outcome of a battle often depends not on the carriers, but on the supporting firepower of ground troops or fleets.

An hour ago, the electronic equipment and command system of the Second Fleet were in a state of paralysis, causing them not only to help the fleet defend against missile attacks, but also to deal with the attacks of the opponent's chosen carrier.Even though the disadvantages were huge, all the Tai Chi Dragon Chosen were not afraid, and intercepted the Stargate missiles and carriers with admirable courage, and prevented the fleet from being completely destroyed with one sacrifice after another.However, due to the lack of fire support and the lack of superiority in numbers, the air position they formed was on the verge of collapse.

Many people's carriers have been sacrificed many times, and they even have no experience points to consume, and have fallen to level 32. As a result, the combat power of Tai Chi Dragon Warriors has declined very quickly.

Just facing the enemy's missiles and the long-range attack of the Stargate Chosen carrier makes the Tai Chi Dragon Warrior feel desperate.Countless missiles hissed, and the gloomy sky in the heavy rain was illuminated by colorful flames. The skills and missiles that exploded on the sea surface set off water walls one after another.Another round of missile rain mixed with "Little Animal II missiles" hit the sky, and it was not known whether there was more rain or more missiles.

The chosen ones of the Tai Chi Dragon lit up their light shields. The golden and white light shields were like a searchlight matrix on the stage, illuminating a large area of ​​the sky, and the torrential rain was clearly visible within the scope of the lights.To be so ostentatious in the dark night is undoubtedly suicidal, but right now they have no choice but to form a carrier shield to intercept the missiles attacking the fleet.

At this time, the aircraft carrier formation composed of one aircraft carrier, six guided missile cruisers, eight guided missile destroyers, one supply ship, and four nuclear-powered attack submarines left only the aircraft carrier, three guided missile cruisers, five guided missile destroyers, and three A nuclear-powered attack submarine has gone to find the location of the opposing fleet.The other ships were more or less injured, and the burning supply ship not far away had not completely sunk, billowing thick smoke, like an exploding drilling platform on the sea surface.

Gu Shining pulled the "Yangjiao Gun" and hit a white "Young Animal II Missile". At the moment when the female warhead split into more than ten bullets, he fired another electromagnetic cannon, completing the instant annihilation of the bullets. It didn't help that the other missiles were already approaching, followed by the Stargate Carrier skills.

Gu Zhixue, the carrier's combat commander, shouted in the carrier's communication channel: "It's not enough to just defend like this! We have to find a way to draw the people from the Stargate into close combat!"

"But we have no way to leave the position at all." Gu Shining replied, this is the question in everyone's heart, the fleet will be attacked if they stay away from the fleet, and they can only be beaten passively if they stay away from the fleet, and then watch the enemy consume them die.

Gu Zhixue said in a deep voice: "Now I can only hope that Inspector Chen can lead the submarine force to find the location of the Stargate Fleet and successfully snipe the enemy."

At this moment, the 057113 destroyer, which was almost completely paralyzed, lit up the light of firing artillery fire. The people on the fleet faced the heavy rain and dense laser rays, and manually operated the cannon, using the 40mm cannon with 130 rounds per minute. Changing the bombs by hand is a life-threatening job, but they still do it.

The group of ordinary soldiers without any protection risked their death at any time on the deck. A chain of fire pierced through the rainy night to assist the chosen one of Tai Chi Dragon to resist the missiles, but in the next second, the position of the machine gun was destroyed They are mastered by the long-range attack carrier of the door, and they become living targets without the ability shield.

Every time a person sits on it, before he can control the machine gun for a minute or two, he will be directly beaten into a blood mist by the laser. In just a few minutes, the whole machine gun is completely stained red with blood, but still Someone kept stepping forward to control the cannon, as if they were also carriers and would not die at all.

Soon the missiles on the destroyer also started to launch. Those ordinary soldiers set up an external single-body radar in the rainstorm and stray bullets, moved the missiles out and used individual launchers. In a group of three, one person used optical equipment to aim. , two people set up individual launchers and launched the missiles one by one. Compared with the electronic control system, the launch efficiency of this kind of launch is frighteningly low. feared.

The lasers flew around, and one soldier after another fell on the deck, but the blood from them was quickly washed away by the rain.

After a while, all the remaining ships of the Tai Chi Dragon Fleet took the method of filling their lives to fight against the attack of the star gate.Gu Zhixue, the carrier combat commander, received a request from Commander Liu Jian to let them fight freely and hand over the defense tasks to ordinary soldiers on the ship.

Gu Zhixue immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation, rather than waiting to die, he might as well put all his eggs in one basket.

The positions spread out, and the Tai Chi dragon warriors rushed towards the distant star gate carrier like tigers out of the cage.

The battle instantly entered a white-hot state.

The ship, which lost the blessing of the carrier, had to resist the attack with almost suicidal human-powered weapons. They rushed to the deck continuously, picked up the equipment dropped by the dead comrades, and launched defense in a primitive way.However, after more than ten minutes of fighting, the deck of the destroyer 057113 was covered with corpses. No matter how heavy the rain was, the blood could not be washed away for a while, and the entire destroyer became a blood ship.

Manpower cannot resist the power of high technology anyway. An anti-ship missile directly hit the bridge, and Nie Xiangdong, who was sitting in the captain's seat, was blown up with his ship into fireworks that illuminate the night sky.

057113 stopped moving.

----------------

Gu Zhixue was killed by a swarm of enemies in mid-air, and he took a few away before he died, which can be regarded as a good loss, but his experience points also fell into the warning line, and if he dies again, he will soon fall into the At level 32, it is impossible to go to the "Tongtian Tower" to complete the promotion task again, which means that his carrier will lose most of its combat power.

In the safe cabin, he wiped off his sweat, opened the hatch, and saw the fleet commander Liu Jian walking over with a commander and a staff officer.The three of them were also like drowned rats, their expressions livid.

Gu Zhixue said eagerly: "Commander Liu, did you send me a message? Please make a long story short, I can't do it without me."

"I ask all of you Tai Chi Dragon fighters to withdraw from their positions and leave now by submarine." Liu Jian, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, said in a low voice.

"Are you kidding me! You mean to tell me to run away? Besides, are you just pretending to be the opponent's anti-submarine force?"

"This is an order!"

"Sorry! Commander Liu, you can command the fleet! But you don't have the right to command our Tai Chi Dragons!"

"Gu Zhixue, every Tai Chi Dragon warrior is precious, you cannot sacrifice here. Please leave immediately, at least we can cover your retreat now."

"Impossible!" Gu Zhixue said with a stiff neck, "I will only obey the orders from the headquarters, and when there is no such order from the headquarters, I will not take half a step back!"

"You are making fun of our country's Ouroboros."

"You don't have to worry about it! At the last moment, we will put Uroboros into the black box and sink it to the bottom of the sea. It is impossible to leave it to the Stargate people."

Liu Jian lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm really sorry for dragging you down. I still don't know why the virus in the electronic system is completely destroyed and it can't be repaired." He clenched his fists and said in a low voice. "I'm really not reconciled!"

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this is the first time we have fought in the open sea. Mistakes are inevitable. We still have to face the strongest star gate in the world! Our Tai Chi Dragon fighters are not afraid of defeat! We have never been afraid, we are only afraid that we dare not admit defeat , we are only afraid of avoiding failure. In this situation, the only thing we can do is to cause a certain degree of damage to the star gate.”

Liu Jian held hands with Gu Zhixue, and he said, "Let's defend the glory of Tai Chi Dragon together!"

————————————————————

Heavy rain fell all night in the Western Pacific.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the rain stopped.

A gap was opened in the thick cloud layer, and the majestic glow leaked out, and the blue sea was golden.

Out of the sixteen ships, there is only one aircraft carrier that is smoking and drifting alone in the sea.The flag of the Nimitz Aircraft Carrier Group of the Stargate Pacific Fleet can already be seen in the distance.

The aircraft carrier Taijilong No. 33, which has run out of ammunition and food, is bathed in light.There are still a few FC[-] carrier-based aircraft that have not had time to take off on the potholed deck. Their broken torsos look like rotten falcons in the rising morning light.

Commander-in-chief Liu Jian standing in front of the porthole of the commander's bridge turned around, took off his military cap, faced the commander and staff who had been fighting all night behind, and said calmly: "Please apologize to your superiors! I usually I neglected the practice of fighting without electronic equipment, and I forgot the glorious tradition left by my predecessors, the tradition of defeating the enemy's superior equipment in battle with inferior equipment! I lost this battle, but you did not lose, you have done At best, it is my negligence and fault that caused today's failure! But I believe it is not our Tai Chi Dragon's failure! 85 years ago, we fought against the then powerful major powers in a war-torn, divided and poor land In the battle of the empire, we have nothing but blood and passion, we have crossed snowy mountains and grasslands, we have endured hunger and cold, two or three men with a gun, stones, and sticks fight against the fully armed enemy, We had the last laugh. Seventy-five years ago, our soldiers crossed the Mazi River without the support of aircraft, advanced weapons, or even winter padded jackets. In that great and cold winter, we defeated the most A powerful empire! It has won the development time of several generations with incredible victories! It has created an impossible miracle!" He looked around at the soldiers standing solemnly, "I firmly believe that the final victory must belong to us!"

A thunderous roar erupted from the bridge: "Victory will belong to us!"

"Now I order!" Liu Jian tidied up the medals on his chest and polished them, "Destroy all documents and sink the No. [-] ship!"

Gu Zhixue opened his own safety cabin, took off the Uroboros from the hands of the main body who was sleeping peacefully inside, put it into the black box, and handed it to Gu Shining beside him, the Xitaiping, which had been noisy all night, was rarely quiet Down, only sporadic explosions sounded.

"I leave it to you, Xiaogu!"

Then the Tai Chi dragon warriors behind handed the black boxes containing their own Uroboros to Gu Shining one by one, and asked him to put them in the backpack.

"Attention everyone! Do your best! Don't leave any regrets! You must use your last strength to give Stargate some color! Let them know that our Tai Chi Dragon is definitely not a bone to chew on."

Gu Shining didn't stay long, and walked towards the bottom of the cabin, where there was a miniature stealth submarine for key personnel to escape. He and the youngest four got the task of escorting Uroboros back to the country.

Others will take another nuclear submarine as a bait to divert the pursuers for them.

Gu Shining didn't look back, he heard Gu Zhixue shouting: "On the day a teacher leaves, there is the honor of death, but no disgrace of life."

He thought of the smoke billowing from the sea, and the morning light breaking through the clouds and shining on the tattered flag.

After all, he couldn't help but stopped and turned his head to look outside the elevator.

The Chosen Ones wearing the Tai Chi Dragon battle suits are rushing towards the bright sunshine, and on the other side is the distant Pacific Ocean.

Blood and fire boiled on the surface of the sea.

The huge waves of history crashed on the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of blood.
