Chapter 257

Lin Jian and Lieutenant General Frank finally meet up when the war is rekindled at the outpost of Sinas.The rendezvous point is a Confederate supply base on the edge of Sinus Outpost.Not only is the Sixth Fleet in urgent need of supplies, but the Eighth Fleet, which has been battling successively, is also depleted.

After sending an application to the alliance, the alliance headquarters designated a supply station for Lin Jian.

The supply station is built inside a large asteroid in a swarm of asteroids.The interior of the asteroid was pierced and built into a suggested military port and supply station.It looks so hidden that it is almost impossible to recognize it from the outside.

This is really an old and crude supply base, Brant, who stepped down from the flagship, sighed.

"This alliance government is too stingy, let us go to this kind of place to supply supplies." Brant walked beside Lin Jian and complained.

"Isn't that enough?" Lin Jian looked around, "I think the military port at Sinus Outpost is slightly better than here. Can you expect the alliance government to build a supply base that is more luxurious than the military port at the capital's outpost?"

While speaking, Lieutenant General Frank came here from the other side of the flagship naval port.Lin Jian and Brant looked at him, feeling that he was covered in dust.

"Just now I asked a little soldier at the military port, saying that there is a small restaurant here, let's go have something to eat first." Seeing Lin Jian and Brant, Lieutenant General Frank proposed directly without politeness.

"Before I came here, I received a message from the Marshal." Lieutenant General Frank's first words caught Lin Jian's attention after he sat down at the square dining table.

"I've been trying to contact the front-end fortress for the past few days, but I can't get through at all." Lin Jian was puzzled.

"The station on the other side of the border was damaged by the Federation Fleet. I just repaired it before heading here, and I just received a signal from the headquarters." Lieutenant General Frank explained, "The silence field here in the center theater is too powerful. I want to connect to the commander It is still very difficult for the headquarters, but at least the news can be sent in. The high-frequency signal can also be received by the alliance headquarters. It is much better than before."

Lin Jian nodded, "What did the Marshal say?"

"What the Marshal means is that before the end of this war, it is best for our three fleets to act together. Oh, this wine is really bad." Bad wine in the restaurant.Compared with the luxury that the Galactic Empire has in this regard, the Alliance Government is indeed much inferior.

Lin Jian didn't touch the wine glass in front of her at all, but slowly ate the food on the plate.Are the three fleets operating at the same time?Does this mean that even the empire does not think that the alliance government will be the ultimate winner of this war.

"I think we should stay at this supply base for two more days to see what the alliance government will do. If there is really no hope, we should stop being cannon fodder." After a while at the dinner table, Frank Jiang suddenly opened his mouth, paused and said, "I think the Marshal seems to be implying this too."

"No matter what, the damaged battleship must be repaired, and the soldiers must be adjusted properly." Lin Jian replied, "The Ninth Fleet is still in the central star field, so we can't leave them there."

"That's what you said." Lieutenant General Frank nodded, "Send a fighter plane to inform him."

On the night of arriving at the supply base, Lin Jian and others got the next step plan from the Alliance Command.Unexpectedly, Lu Fei would also set foot on this battlefield.Thinking of the young man with black hair and black eyes, Lin Jian also felt a little emotional.

Of the top four opponents in the inter-school competition that year, one fell in the imperial civil war long ago, and the other three will bear the responsibility of the country in this star field and fight to the end.

At 26 o'clock in the morning standard time on May [-], Jin En woke Lin Jian from his sleep, and the sent fighter plane sent back a signal that the Ninth Fleet had received the news.But now he is still entangled near the asteroid belt and cannot escape.Although the alliance's Sinus defenders have gone straight to the central star field, the outer gap has not yet been opened.

The current purpose of the federal fleet is very clear. Even if it is temporarily attacked by the outer defenders, it must first annihilate the few fleets that are besieged in the central star field at this time.

"It's our turn to play." On this day, Lieutenant General Frank said.

So the two fleets of the empire sailed out of the supply station together after two days of supplies and repairs.But their direction was not the central star field. The two fleets moved separately, from the two wings to the federal supply fleet that was heading towards the periphery of the central star field.

It is difficult to enter the central star field now, so it is better to encircle Wei and save Zhao in another way.

Lin Jian, who took advantage of this time to take a good rest, was full of energy at the moment, standing on the bridge and looking at the star map on the electronic crystal screen.In the past two days, most of the soldiers and officers of the Eighth Fleet have been rested, only the soldiers in the star map surveying room are busy, and within two days, the center defense area is between the Sinus galaxy. The distribution of galaxies in the star field is completely mapped out.

Of course, the star map information is all long-standing data, and what the star map surveying room has to do is to make correct analysis on this star field map and supplement various data, such as the star explosion index of unmanned galaxies, Asteroid belt ambush probability, etc.

"We will attack from here." Lin Jian pointed to a point on the star field map and said to Brandt and Florence who were on the Rosamund at the time, "This location is where the Federation's supply fleet passes. The possibility is the greatest. Although it is more difficult to make a surprise attack, the opponent's awareness of prevention should also be the lowest."

"In this case, let the engineer ship be arranged first." Brandt agreed with Lin Jian's plan.

"Let the engineering ship arrange the mines and missile trajectory first." Lin Jian nodded, "Florence, you lead the fleet from the dome of the entire fleet, keeping a distance of [-] kilometers."

"Can I speed up?" Florence, who has never actively asked for a battle, asked, and the battle with the Sussexland fleet made him very unhappy.

"Okay, you can be a pioneer this time." Faced with the rare initiative of his subordinates to ask for a fight, Lin Jian did not object.

At 26 pm standard time on May [-], the Eighth Fleet arrived at the scheduled location.An hour later, the communications fighter also sent back a report of the arrival of the Seventh Fleet.

The engineer ship that arrived earlier has already set up the mine cluster and missile trajectory.Just waiting for the supply fleet to arrive here.

This location is not far from the fierce battle area of ​​the central star field. On the one hand, choosing this location is because Lin Jian said that the supply fleet must pass through, and it is also an unexpected ambush area.Another aspect is the distance from the central star field.If the selected distance is too far, the opponent may abandon the fleet. Although long-distance marching supplies are very important, it does not rule out that the opponent may choose to abandon the supply fleet by penetrating the Sinus outpost in a short time.If the distance is too short, you may be attacked by the regular fleet behind you during the attack, and you will be caught in a predicament of front and back attack.

And this distance, although a little dangerous, but as long as he speeds up the attack and surprises the opponent with a heavy blow, Lin Jian is confident that he can take down the supply fleet before the opponent's regular fleet arrives.I just hope that the Ninth Fleet and the Alliance Fleet in the central star field can take the opportunity to counterattack.

"Your Excellency, the silent field has been set up, and according to your request, it is only within a thousand kilometers from the periphery of this fleet."

"Your Excellency, the leading warship ahead has spotted the opponent's supply fleet."

Lin Jian, who was deducing the battle process with Brandt, heard the news from the communicator, and immediately stopped the deduction and turned to the communicator: "This is a detailed report."

"The vanguard ship reported that there are [-] cruisers and [-] frigates in the opponent's supply fleet. There are [-] warships guarding each of the front and rear positions of the fleet."

"Have you checked around?" Lin Jian asked.

"Yes! The vanguard ship reported that there is no radar reception signal within three light-seconds around the supply fleet."

"Pay close attention to the movement of the supply fleet!" Lin Jian ordered, and at the same time said to Jin En, "From now on, turn off the main engine and stop the equipment that emits pulses. Turn off the delivery lights on the ship."

After the order was issued, the entire Eighth Fleet turned off their lights and completely hid themselves in the dark airspace.As if infected by the tense atmosphere at this time, the soldiers at the bridge console all slowed down their operations.

At 27:[-] p.m. standard time, the image of the opponent's supply fleet finally appeared on the wide-angle detector.

Soldiers on the Rosamund's bridge console saw their commander hold her right arm aloft again.

"The whole fleet! All three guns are fully fired, attack!"

Then following the falling voice, from the position of the dome, the dense particle beam rays are like dense raindrops moving towards the battleship that just appeared in the wide-angle detector!

Florence led the squadron to violently attack the transitional part between the opponent's warship and the transport ship from the dome position.

And the Eighth Fleet's own team also showed their sharp fangs. The originally dark star field was as bright as day because of the engine lights of tens of thousands of warships.

The fleet arranged in a crescent shape is like a sudden time and space jump, lying on the way forward of the federal supply fleet.

The artillery fire came so suddenly that the warships in front of the supply fleet did not stop moving forward immediately, but rushed forward for a while before reacting and stopping to counterattack.

At this time, the Florence fleet had already inserted into the gap between the federal battleship and the transport ship, and together with our team surrounded the escort battleships at the front.

At the same time, the Seventh Fleet, under the leadership of Vice Admiral Frank, successfully separated the warships in the second half of the transport fleet from the transport ships in the same way.

After the battleships at both ends were surrounded and stormed, both fleets released single-seat attack boats. The attack boats shuttled back and forth among the clumsy transport ships. The thick armor of the transport boat was torn apart.Cemented carbide is very fragile under the attack of particle beam.

Transport boats do not have the energy-neutral magnetic field shields like warships, and are the type of ships that single-seat attack boats like to deal with most.

From the perspective of the wide-angle detector, it was the transport ship in the center that exploded first.
