Chapter 924 The world where only the empire is hurt

Many people who have received orthodox military education believe that the so-called "guerrilla habit" means that when one party is inferior in strength, equipment, technology, and resources, it can only resort to sneak attacks and random attacks that do not respect martial ethics. war.

This kind of tactics will make people very irritated, and it is destined to be a trick that has no sense of honor and is difficult to be elegant.Mosquitoes are also very irritating, and they can also bleed people, but mosquitoes are only mosquitoes after all, and they can never become lions.

However, Yu Lian was sure that there might be no one in the universe who knew guerrilla warfare better than him.

Let me say something that breaks the defenses of the traditional "knight" gentlemen. In the field of war, it is much more difficult not to talk about martial arts than to talk about martial arts.It is a huge test for the morale and organization of the army, as well as the leadership of the commander, to retreat without collapsing and gather and disperse.However, we cannot expect all squadron admirals and even all captains to be the reincarnation of war gods.

However, the crew can be counted on to have the determination to die and win.

Since the predator fleets dared to go deep behind enemy lines to harass the supply line, they were of course prepared to lose contact with the large forces, and they were also prepared to sacrifice.But even under such circumstances, they still maintained a fairly clear mind.

No, after discovering the appearance of the earth fleet, the predators didn't care about fighting at all, and immediately began to transfer.

At this time, it is really necessary to give a little praise to the Kaitai people whose noses and faces are swollen from the beating.One of their two heavy cruisers was sunk and the other was severely damaged and immobilized, but the remaining light battleships, which were not too seriously injured, showed the courage to realize their shame and move toward a strategic shift regardless. The Marauder fleet swooped in.

They seemed to have burned their engines, and they actually chased the rear of the attacker.

However, we need to know that sometimes people can burn themselves with spirit, but machines can't.What's more, after being attacked and fighting hard, these warships are almost at their limit.When they were about to rush close, they were dragged by the last predator warship to show their faces.

But when this ugly fire-breathing boat was advancing at a high speed, it suddenly made a U-turn without any room for slowing down.The central axis of the entire battleship even twisted slightly during high-speed steering.However, she still completed this extreme tactical move.

This is clearly like seeing a dirty bear, with its dirty fur and tendons, tiptoeing a little swan in front of everyone.

This scene is not elegant at all, it just feels so weird that it makes people get goosebumps all over.

Immediately afterwards, the Predator warship, which had completed its "gorgeous" turn and turned around, had already started firing salvos at the pursuers.

Of course, this fire-breathing ship also has extremely enhanced firepower. The barrage coverage forms an extremely wide fan, covering almost all the Kaitai warships that are chasing.

And at this time, the catman battleships that rushed to the finish line seemed to be dragging their scarred bodies to make another sprint to the limit of [-] meters, and they even behaved more slowly than the sages, and they didn't even have basic evasive actions After making it, his face was covered with fierce artillery fire.

Two destroyers could not come back on the spot, and the remaining ships were more or less seriously injured and could no longer fight back.However, at this time, the six destroyers of the Earth Escort Fleet also rushed over. They were still in good condition. They dispersed to escape the enemy's shelling, and then fired forty-eight missiles at a medium distance.

The technical content of the medium-range anti-ship missiles equipped by the community is still very good. Finally, five of them broke through the dense fire interception and shields and hit the target accurately.One of them even exploded directly near the engine port at the stern.

As a result, one-third of the engine nozzles of the predator battleship that had just created a huge battle went out, like a light bulb that lost its power.The hull also slowed down immediately.

However, just as Yu Lian had guessed, these marauder fighters who participated in the raids behind the enemy lines were indeed ready to sacrifice.The battleship that had lost most of its speed simply stopped running and used all the remaining power for tactical maneuvers. The ferocious artillery fire followed one after another, like a raging beast.

However, although the berserk was berserk, the besieged beast still seemed to maintain a certain degree of calm despite the berserk.Instead of attacking the destroyers of the Earthlings, she slammed at the two Kaitai light cruisers closest to her. These two ships had already been output by the predators once before, and they were also seriously injured. , the condition of the hull even appeared to be slower than the former.

This clumsy but ferocious artillery battle lasted for nearly half an hour. The two Kaitai light cruisers each suffered at least twenty rounds of rail shells and ion beams, and then stepped into the place where the ships were destroyed. in queue.

However, during this period of time, the escort fleet of the earth also rushed over.The light mother brought the engineering ship close to the main battlefield just now, to see if there were any people and ships that could be rescued.The county-level heavy cruiser also rushed over with the rest of the light cruisers.

Horatio Wayne "on behalf of" the commander sent a notification to the other side to persuade him to surrender, but three consecutive notifications did not receive a response.Thus, the entire fleet fired a salvo of long-range spear guns, dealing the final blow to the enemy ship.

Under the awe-inspiring eyes of all the officers and soldiers on Earth, this illustrious marauder warship finally disappeared under the concentrated fire of tens of thousands of guns, and no survivors were found afterwards.

Almost at the moment when the predator battleship sank, a jump signal came from the direction of the gravity well in the distance.Immediately afterwards, more than ten cutting-edge warships finally entered this galaxy.

This will finally be the real imperial fleet.

But at this time, even if these new forces burn their engines, it is impossible to block the main fleet of predators that have already fled to the other direction of the galaxy.

Then I saw the remaining predator warships, just like this escorting a big and round Old Saint-class transport ship, and disappeared in front of everyone swaggeringly.

The direction of their transition should be the DL15 galaxy, which belongs to the supply channel controlled and maintained by the community, but at this time, there are no warships in that galaxy for the time being.

Therefore, at the cost of a medium-sized fire-breathing ship, the Marauder Fleet sank one heavy cruiser of the Kaitai Kingdom, seriously injured one, sank two light cruisers and three destroyers, and captured an Old Saint. After adding hundreds of millions of tons of materials inside the ship, the transport ship successfully left the battlefield.It can be said to be a complete victory and a rewarding return.

Strictly speaking, the fire-breathing ship they lost was sunk by the Earthlings.

Probably because the timing of entering the battlefield was so ingenious, the only battle damage to the Community fleet was a cruiser that was hit by the armor belt by the opponent's dying shelling. There were only three dead and five wounded.In such an intense battlefield, this is not even considered damage.

Thus, a world where only the Kaitai were injured was born... Well, strictly speaking, the Old One and the supplies on it belonged to the Empire.So the empire was hurt a little bit too?
Yu Lian could probably guess what kind of grievance expression the officers and soldiers of the imperial army who just arrived would have, but at this time, there was no time to pay attention to the mood of the allies.

Yu Lian turned around and ordered: "Feifei, help me draft a telegram of condolences and send it to the headquarters of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet in my name. Also, Horatio, catch up!"

"Catch up?"

"Yes, let the supply fleet and the Imperial patrol fleet reunite. I will send a letter to Commander Connerys to explain in advance, and it is not your fault for the delay. As for the task of your escort fleet, it is to pursue immediately and try as much as possible." Investigate the whereabouts of the looters and collect all the signal residues!"

Feifei couldn't help but glance at Yu Lian.To be honest, this approach seemed a little reckless, and there was even the danger of being ambushed by predators. She believed that it was impossible for Yu Lian to fail to see this, and Horatio Wayne on the opposite side was obviously aware of this.However, the former still gave the order without hesitation, while the latter saluted without the slightest hesitation, and replied "Design".

However, he still gave his own suggestion: "Your Excellency, in fact, you don't need all the members of the escort fleet. You only need the cooperation of the Edward III under the command of the officer and the friendly ship Wallace."

"Two destroyers?"

"Yes. Your Majesty's Edward III is the latest Fletcher 4 destroyer. The signal tower marking system has been strengthened, and four automatic deep space detectors have been installed. It needs to perform certain exploration and reconnaissance missions. Wayne explained: "Besides, the targets of the two destroyers are not big. If there is any problem, it will be easier to get out."

However, if it is really ambushed, there will be no chance to escape.

Both of them actually knew that there might be such a danger, but they didn't say it clearly.Yu Lian pondered for a second, then nodded expressionlessly: "Approved!"

Wayne saluted again and turned off the communication.

After that, the question over there had nothing to do with Yu Lian.After all, he is just a logistics manager now... or "management" is not considered, and he can only be regarded as a liaison in charge of coordination in legal terms.It is already a big taboo to directly go over the command layer of the supply fleet to conduct remote control commands.

"If you're not a psychic, you might be court-martialed based on what you did just now," Feifei said.

"Indeed, but because I am a psychic, I should use all the privileges I have." Yu Lian shrugged: "Anyway, I don't care about the reputation in the high-level."

Feifei nodded: "If you have a bad reputation at the top, it's actually a good thing. The worse it is, Mr. Chairman, the more the future Mr. President will support you."

"...you don't seem worried that the Chairman will lose the election."

"After all, he has been raised for ten years. Everyone likes this kind of tough and masculine leader. But the gentleman promoted by the Common Prosperity Party, no matter how you look at it, is just a step-by-step weak intellectual, and he is just an old monster when he goes up. puppet."

The old monster Feifei was talking about was naturally Mao Yuanzuo, the leader behind the scenes of the Co-Prosperity Party, who had been active in the political arena of the community since the empire ruled.

To be honest, Yu Lian really didn't have much interest in the process and results of the general election. He just hoped that the two sides would not affect the front-line battle for the sake of gaining a sense of presence.

However, he also knew that this was impossible.The Brigadier General Wu Sansong who came by airborne, and the observation team that has already arrived at Xinyumen, didn't they already explain a lot of problems?

He is just a small brigadier general now, so he can only do his best to know his destiny.

Therefore, Yu Lian first sent another report to Yang Xiyi on the front line, detailing all the battle situation and his own judgment.He still feels that the entire battle process is full of surreal and absurd design sense, and he always feels that everything is inconsistent, but this is only his own feeling after all.A mature commander must never give up any opportunity to explore the enemy's situation because of some inexplicable intuition.

As for whether there is any conspiracy behind this, it should be left to the "outer ring fox" to analyze.This is what makes the best of people.

Afterwards, Yu Lian sent another letter to Major General Azitha Mallowan, requesting the elder sister to find some psykers of the perception department. It would be best if they happen to be professional counterparts for "exploration".

Of course, this is to be ready to support the scouting fleet on Wayne's side at any time.If the trace of the predator fleet is really lost there, it is possible to find the new gravity well location through the remaining gravitational information and the changing cosmological constant.

Although that Brigadier General Wu Sansong may come to make trouble, after all, Major General Marlowin is the official commander of the Community Guard and the first person in charge of the occult power of the expeditionary fleet.

If it doesn't work, you can do it yourself.Of course, in this way, I have committed the crime of being unorganized and undisciplined...

"How's the maintenance status of the Throne?" Yu Lian asked Feifei again.

"It's the Marko Cook. If you keep calling the Throne in public, you will be caught as a pigtail." Feifei corrected: "The daily maintenance has basically been completed, and the new main gun capacitor has been replaced. , the solid-state energy package and the charcoal package of the ecological balance system, and the radiation residue on the outer wall has also been cleaned up. If further maintenance is required, the outer wall armor may have to be replaced. The earth has proposed that the meteorites wrapped around the ship The shell was replaced with a fluid armor of Cindarin alloy."

"It won't be half a year, and you have to go back to the mainland?" Yu Lian said, "Let Mate Kong take the boat to New Lushun."

Feifei didn't accept the order immediately, and looked at Yu Lian without speaking with a smile, making the latter tremble a little.

"Do I still have such authority now?"

Feifei laughed and said: "Actually, there is no such thing, but Lieutenant General Saiyo is there, so it's not a big problem. Of course, it's best to find a reason to escort the members of the domestic delegation, the press team, and the observation team of the allies to the new Lushun for inspection. After all, this dreadnought was captured by us from the predators. If we want to show our national prestige and build the confidence of our people and allies, there is no better magic board than this. Look, isn’t such a reason sounding grand?”

In the end, I also became a road specimen!Yu Lian thought.

"In addition, you also need to host a banquet and reporters here. After all, you are the most famous person in the expedition fleet. No matter what, you must entertain these folk representatives from afar. This is justified."

"National representative..." Yu Lian felt goosebumps all over his body, but he squeezed his nose and smiled: "Fortunately, there is a sea under New Lushun, at least you can catch fish."

"It's good to catch fish, isn't it? The folk representatives like the alien atmosphere the most." Feifei also smiled: "Don't put on such an expression, think about Teacher Yang and the others on the front line, until now they can't even be sure. There is no news about it. You are very happy to stay in the rear comfortably."
