Him and their stars

On the star map, most of the empire's fighter groups were already chasing after Beiwei in the direction in which he dispersed. This is probably because the Imperial Army has made a judgment that these strange "assault ships" are the targets that pose the greatest threat to itself. Or maybe after the round of bombing just now, they have been completely filled with hatred by these strange small warships.

All in all, there are more than 200 imperial fighter planes in a do-or-die attitude, and they must pursue them to the death.

Then, following a flurry, the Beiwei who were in formation just now dispersed, but behind each of them were at least ten enemy planes.

Well, if it were normal times, these assault ships would sooner or later be overtaken by fighter planes and killed one by one.

However, Eleanor still maintained her emotional stability, and her fleet continued to maintain smooth maneuvers in an orderly manner.

"The entire fleet has 47 left rudders, 18 pitches, and 5 forwards. Quick, take this opportunity to open up the distance between the Imperial fleet. Fletcher 211, Ledi 378, and Akatsuki 455, start dropping mines."

The three destroyers at the rear of the formation opened their tail cabins and continuously released mines. Soon, a large iron patch that was almost invisible to the naked eye spread out in the universe.

When the fleet turned, the Aurora even used its side rail gun to fire a shot at the seriously injured Imperial battle cruiser.

This shot was almost in the blind spot of the secondary gun, and its range had already exceeded the theoretical limit.

However, this shell still hit the outer armor of the Imperial battle cruiser, and caused a series of fires that were not particularly violent, but looked quite gorgeous.

It's obviously self-evident who was behind the bombardment, right?

"Isn't it a bit too much?" Eleanor asked Ina.

"Well, I just want to challenge my theoretical limits."

In short, again, this kind of attack will not cause any effective damage to a battle cruiser, but the taunting level will be almost maxed out.

As a result, the imperial warship, which was completely enraged, also started to turn left rudder. First, it used its volley of guns to clear out the large area of ​​mines, and then began an all-out pursuit. Unknowingly, a gap in the formation appeared between the Imperial cruiser and the aircraft carrier.

"It's becoming more and more reliable! Today's young people are really amazing." Rear Admiral Marklov, the "real" commander on board the Saratoga, looked at the current battle situation and expressed great relief.

Now that the young female general is becoming more wise and decisive, she is happy to regard herself as an ordinary aircraft carrier captain, and even waits for retirement.

...Then again, if the empire hadn't started a brazen war, Mr. Marklov would have retired as a general long ago, with a generous pension, and gone home to enjoy the happiness of having grandchildren in his later years, right?

Thinking of this, the good-tempered Major General Marklov was filled with hatred for the evil imperial devils.

"Hide well, little ones, hide them well!" the old general demanded of the two Zhenghang ships and three light mothers under his command. They are now hiding in the shadow of the gas giant planet numbered DL29-7 in this galaxy, maintaining electromagnetic silence, hovering in the planet's orbit in the most stable orbit, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

At this time, a squadron of White Devil fighters and four squadrons of Ghost fighters on the five aircraft carriers were ready to attack. Even the remaining group of sublight interceptors and the first squadron of orbital bombers are beginning to prepare.

The pilot of the White Devil fighter plane numbered RK78, Lieutenant Li Baolu, was already on standby in his cockpit. He had just adjusted the communication channel when he heard the voice of his girlfriend, Lieutenant Martha Daken.

"Finally it's our turn. Last time at the dawn terminal, we failed to perform the entire battle to knock out the Silas fleet. Really, we were the first to install the light wings and the anti-matter bombs. Hahaha, Baolu, your captain is obviously tired of the old, right? With the bombing-type assault ship, we white devils have fallen out of favor. Woohoo, what a big scumbag!"

"Well, I don't think the captain is this kind of person." Li Baolu solemnly defended his senior officer.

"Oh, isn't he a scumbag who likes the new and hates the old? Isn't he still a good man who is long-term and dedicated?"

"To be precise, he likes the new but doesn't hate the old. According to Commander Yang, from the captain's point of view, this is actually a beautiful trait. Uh, I don't read many books. What on earth is this? mean?"

"...You'd better not understand it. If you do, you won't be a pure person anymore."

"Is it actually so serious?" Li Baolu was shocked.

Martha Deken suddenly made a voice like a silver bell: "Okay, little illiterate. Pure people perform pure tasks. I am waiting to finish this battle and return to Earth to be a test pilot."

"Test pilot? Oh, yes, the People's Federation also gave you an invitation."

"Then, we can buy a small house by the seaside of Coral City on Earth, preferably one facing the sea."

"Let's raise a cat and a dog. I've already thought about it. The cat will be called Camus, the dog will be called Jeddo, and there will be a small garden."

"Why isn't the cat named Lala and the dog named Haman? Also, do you have more important things to do before doing these things?"

"for this I……"

"I'm sorry to disturb you, my enviable little lovers. Remember to use private chat next time." The voice of Captain James Dutt had already cut into the communication channel, and then there was a burst of hearty laughter. Big laugh.

The two young pilots realized that they were actually chatting with each other in the brigade's communication channel, and they immediately wanted to take the fighter plane and explode on the spot.

However, the small episode before the dispatch this time succeeded in making all the fighter pilots' slight nervousness disappear.

Colonel Dutt laughed and said: "Okay, boys. As little Martha said just now, we are obviously the first. Before these brave men made great achievements, we white devils had already swept across the New World Highway and the Dawn Channel. . However, sweeping away the Marauders and weird space alien objects is not considered an achievement, but sweeping away the Imperial Devils can leave a name in history. Are the poor Marauders and the glorious Imperial Devils ready to kick the butts of the Imperial nobles? "

"Waaaaah!" In the public channel, ghostly screams and shouts resounded, even Li Baolu, who is usually the most well-behaved, was no exception.

Martha Daken was furious. She felt that everyone must have fought against the marauders too much in the past and had been contaminated by those stinking Myshandar trolls. However, if the enemy were replaced by these elegant imperial nobles, would they also become elegant?

At this time, orders from the headquarters also entered their channel.

"The imperial fleet enters the predetermined area and prepare for battle!"

"Repeat, the imperial fleet enters the predetermined area and prepare for battle!"

"Everything is ready! Ready to take off!"

At this time, the Imperial Fleet had indeed been led into the predetermined airspace by the Thirteenth Fleet. At this time, more than five hundred menacing fighter planes circled out from behind the giant planet like a swarm of bees, and immediately launched a charge like a swarm of bees smelling the smell of blood.

Their target of attack was not the injured battle cruisers, but the aircraft carriers that had fallen to the outside world.

There were not many escort fighters left around the two imperial aircraft carriers. They could only shout loudly for the fleet chasing the "assault ship" to come back, while moving closer to the nearby Aegis cruiser as quickly as possible.

However, it was already too late.

In this era, the strongest firepower carried by an individual fighter is two proton torpedoes or one material bomb. They may not cause any direct harm to the rough-skinned and thick-skinned battleships, but the relatively thin-skinned and bulky aircraft carriers are another matter.

Yes, there were armored assault carriers in this era, but those were used to carry Marines.

These two Haisuan-class aircraft carriers, even under the escort of four Apocalypse Eagle destroyers, could not escape the crazy concentrated fire of Earth's fighter planes. Even when two more Holy Shield ships came over with dense anti-aircraft fire like hedgehogs, they still couldn't disperse these red-eyed fighters.

The carrier's fragile shields were breached and its armor torn apart. Energy shells and missiles crashed into the hangar and even set fire to the ammunition depot.

When the remaining cruisers of the empire finally gave up the pursuit and wanted to turn back to rescue friendly forces, these Earth fleets left in a swaggering manner.

They lost 46 friendly aircraft, but left behind two seriously damaged carriers that were basically unable to be salvaged, and two destroyers that were completely destroyed.

However, this is not the end yet. The White Devil squadron, which had been recharging their strength since just now, suddenly spread out their light wings and pounced directly on the returning Imperial fleet. Like a golden eagle, it pounced on the stunned geese from a high position.

At this time, the Imperial fighter planes were chasing their targets for almost an entire astronomical unit, but they were still unable to catch up with those strange "assault ships" that had their light wings turned on. At this time, the mothership asked for help again, and had to return for help. The condition of both the pilot and the aircraft was reaching its limit.

Of course they didn't know that those "assault ships" had been operating with light wings for a long time and were almost reaching their limit. If they could persist for ten more minutes, they might be able to reap a lot of fruitful results.

But the reality is no longer what if.

The Imperial fleet was intercepted by the White Devil, and then surrounded and suppressed by more Earth fighter planes coming over. However, the response we could make was extremely limited.

In this way, in the third hour of the war, all the aviation groups of the imperial fleet were wiped out.

After this battle, the young pilots Li Baolu and Martha Daken of the White Devil Squadron also officially achieved the status of double ace pilots. They are one step closer to their next career plan of becoming test pilots of the People's Federation. .

However, even at this time, the empire still has battle patrol 1, heavy patrol 3, light patrol 4 and expulsion 6, which is not without the power to fight. However, at this moment, the imperial fleet finally showed a pragmatic and decisive style, turned around and began to retreat.

The Community Thirteenth Fleet did not pursue it. Eleanor Bonaparte knew very well that her own fighter planes and back strength were actually at their limit. If they continued to fight forcefully, the losses would definitely increase exponentially. Moreover, although she was the type who jumped into action without making a decision, she was unable to use the Aurora to pursue a battlecruiser.

More importantly, as the admiral of the squadron, she knew her position very well.

"It's enough to fight to this extent. If I really turn the feint attack into the main attack, wouldn't I really become a foolhardy war maniac?"

"I think, judging from the battle situation just now, there is actually not much difference between a feint attack and a main attack." Ina said.

"Hmph, as long as all those enemy ships are not destroyed, it certainly doesn't count as the main attack." Eleanor said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"All I want is to hurt them and let all the imperial fleets around who are looking for us stay together. Only in this way can we take advantage of the opportunity. Tell the whole fleet not to clean the battlefield. Move immediately, and then take DL31. Towards the Stargazer Beta System."

"That's the shortcut to the New World Highway, but there are the empire's deep space exploration stations and border outposts." Ina reminded. Of course, it's just a reminder.

"What we need is the empire's deep space exploration station and border outpost! Hurry, our time is limited, and they may have already launched."

It turned out that she was right. The news that the squadron had been severely damaged reached the Unity Fortress and the Imperial fleets in all surrounding star fields within 12 hours. Immediately afterwards, there was news that the Thirteenth Fleet of the Community appeared in the DL31 galaxy.

This is a bad sign. If the 13th Community Fleet really passes through the Dawn Passage from the DL31 system and enters the New World Highway, whether it is diverted back to New Port Arthur, or directly burns the war to the Empire's Glory Colonial Sector, it will not only kick out all the Empire's officers and soldiers It was a slap in the face of King Soleyn and King Sulyuka.

No, it was just a slap in the face of Emperor Elithel.

At this time, the hunting fleet that set off from the Unity Fortress had just left the Dawn Pass system. The commander, Major General Bosen, did not rush to the battlefield immediately, but quickly ordered the surrounding fleets to gather towards him.

Of course, he also sent a message to the Unity Fortress, but it was obviously too late to get orders before taking action.

Fortunately, the imperial military system inherently ensures the autonomy of all squadron admirals at critical times. These professionally trained generals are indeed very proactive.

It has to be said that once the Imperial Army gets serious, they can always display amazing professionalism and technology. It only took them less than 4 hours to complete a fleet including 1 Dreadnought, 4 battlecruisers and 4 aircraft carriers, which was enough to destroy one or two small countries in the Milky Way.

Then, under the leadership of the temporary commander Major General Bosen, this "nation-destroying fleet" headed towards the DL31 galaxy at the fastest speed.

They were destined to miss the mark.

They were destined to have difficulty getting orders from the Unity Fortress, because almost at the same time, the war was already raging.
