Him and their stars

Many people who have received orthodox military education believe that the so-called "guerrilla habit" means that when one party is inferior to others in terms of military strength, equipment, technology, and resources, it can only resort to sneak attacks and chaos without respect for martial arts. 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 cannot be considered elegant. Mosquitoes are also very annoying, and they can also bleed people, but mosquitoes are only mosquitoes after all, and they can never turn into lions.

However, Yu Lian is very sure that there may be no one in the universe who understands guerrilla warfare better than him.

Let me tell you something that would allow traditional "knights" to break their defenses. In the field of war, it is much more difficult to not practice martial ethics than to practice martial ethics. Retreating without collapse, gathering and dispersing as a rule, is a huge test for the morale and organization of the army, as well as the commander's leadership ability. However, we cannot expect that all squadron admirals or even all captains are reincarnations of military gods.

However, it can be counted on that the crew members are determined to die and win.

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

No, after discovering the appearance of the Earth Fleet, the predators were not reluctant to fight at all, and immediately began to move.

At this time, I really have to give a little praise to the Cathay man who was beaten so badly that his nose and face were swollen. One of their two heavy cruisers was sunk and the other was severely damaged and unable to move. However, the remaining light battleships, which were not too seriously injured, showed courage and courage, and moved towards the strategy regardless of the situation. The fleet of predators rushed over.

They seemed to have run so hard that their engines were on fire, and they actually caught up to the rear of the attacker's car.

However, we must know that people can sometimes burn themselves with spirit, but machines cannot. What's more, after these warships were sneak attacked and fought hard, they were already approaching their limit. When they were about to rush closer, they were shown off by a predator warship that was dragged at the end.

But while this ugly fire-breathing ship was advancing at high speed, it suddenly made a U-turn without slowing down at all. The central axis of the entire battleship even twisted a little during the high-speed turning process. However, she still completed this extreme tactical action.

It was clearly like seeing a dirty bear, covered in dirty fur and tendons, but standing on tiptoes and singing a little swan song in front of everyone.

This scene was not elegant at all, it just felt so weird that it gave people goosebumps.

Immediately afterwards, the Predator warship, which had completed a "glorious" turn, began to fire a salvo at the pursuers.

Of course, this fire-breathing ship also had extremely enhanced firepower. The barrage coverage formed an extremely wide fan, covering almost all the chasing Cathay warships.

At this time, the cat-man battleships rushing to the finish line seemed to be dragging their scarred bodies through another extreme 100-meter sprint. They were even more sluggish than the sage state, and did not even have basic evasive movements. After making it, his face was covered in fierce gunfire.

Two destroyers were unable to return 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's escort fleet also rushed over. Their condition was still intact. They spread out and avoided the enemy's bombardment, and then launched forty-eight missiles at mid-range.

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 intensive fire interception and shields and accurately hit the target. One of them even exploded directly near the engine port at the stern of the ship.

As a result, one-third of the engine nozzles of this Predator warship that had just achieved great results suddenly went out, like a light bulb that had lost power. The hull immediately slowed down.

However, just as Yu Lian guessed, these predator warriors who participated in the harassment behind enemy lines were indeed ready to sacrifice. The warship, which 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 violent and trapped beast.

However, despite the violent rage, this trapped beast still seemed to maintain a certain degree of calmness despite the rage. She did not attack the Earthlings' destroyers, but instead launched another fierce bombardment at the two Cathayan light cruisers closest to her - these two ships had already been dealt a blow by the predators just now, and they were also seriously injured. , the hull condition even appears to be sluggish than the former.

This clumsy but ferocious artillery battle lasted for nearly half an hour. The two Cathay light cruisers each suffered at least twenty rounds of orbital artillery shells and ion beams, and then they also entered the scene where those ships were destroyed and people were killed. in queue.

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

Horatio Venn "represented" the commander and sent a surrender notification to the other party, but received no response to three consecutive notifications. As a result, the entire fleet fired a salvo of long-distance spear cannons, giving the enemy ship the final blow.

Under the awe-inspiring gazes of all the earth's officers and soldiers, this highly decorated predator warship was finally reduced to nothing in the fire of tens of thousands of artillery fire, and no survivors were found afterwards.

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

What will come here is finally the real Imperial fleet.

But at this time, even if these new forces set their engines on fire, they would not be able to block the main fleet of predators that had already fled to another direction in the galaxy.

All that was left was the Marauder warships, which were escorting a huge and round Ancient Saint-class transport ship and disappeared in front of everyone.

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

Therefore, at the expense of a medium-sized fire-breathing ship, the Predator Fleet sank one heavy cruiser of the Kingdom of Cathay, severely damaged one, sank two light cruisers and three destroyers, and captured an Ancient Saint. After adding hundreds of millions of tons of supplies to the transport ship, it successfully left the battlefield. It can be said that we returned home with a great victory.

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

Probably because the timing of entering the battlefield was too clever, the only battle damage suffered by the Community fleet was that a cruiser was hit in the armored belt by the opponent's desperate shelling. There were only three dead and five injured. On a battlefield of such intensity, this is not even considered damage.

Thus, a world where only the Cathay people were injured was born... Well, strictly speaking, the Old Saint-class ship and the materials on it belonged to the empire. So the Empire was hurt a little bit too?

Yu Lian could probably guess what kind of expressions the imperial officers and soldiers who had just arrived would have on their faces, 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 condolence message and send it to the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet Headquarters in my name. And, Horatio, catch up!"

"Catch up?"

"Yes, let the supply fleet and the imperial patrol fleet meet up. I will send a letter to Commander Conneris to explain in advance. It is not your fault that the delay is delayed. As for the mission of your escort fleet, it is to pursue it immediately and do everything possible. Detect the whereabouts of the predators and collect all signal residues!"

Feifei couldn't help but glance at Yu Lian. To be honest, this approach seemed a little reckless, and there was even a risk of being ambushed by predators. She believed that Yu Lian could not fail to see this, and Horatio Wayne on the other side was obviously aware of this. However, the former still issued the order without any hesitation, while the latter saluted without any hesitation and replied, "Yes."

However, he still gave his own suggestion: "Your Excellency, in fact, we don't need the entire escort fleet. We only need the cooperation of the Edward III commanded by the subordinate and the friendly ship Wallace."

"Two destroyers?"

"Yes. Xiaguan's Edward III is the latest Fletcher 4 destroyer. It has an enhanced signal tower system and four automatic deep space detectors. It already needs to perform certain exploration and reconnaissance missions. Wayne explained: "Moreover, the targets of the two destroyers are not big. If there is any problem, it will be easier to escape."

However, if he was ambushed, he would not even have a chance to escape.

Both of them actually understood that this danger might exist, but neither of them said it explicitly. Yu Lian pondered for a second and nodded expressionlessly: "Approved!"

Wayne saluted again and closed the communication.

Then the problems there had nothing to do with Yu Lian. After all, he is just a logistics person now...or it cannot be called "management". Legally speaking, he can only be regarded as a liaison officer responsible for coordination. Just now, we directly bypassed the command level of the supply fleet and conducted remote control, which was already a big taboo.

"If you were not a psychic, based on your behavior just now, you might be facing a military court," Feifei said.

"Indeed, but just because I am a psychic, I should try my best to use all the privileges I have." Yu Lian shrugged: "Anyway, I don't care about the reputation among senior officials."

Feifei nodded: "If your reputation at the top is not good, it is actually a good thing. The worse it is, Mr. Chairman, the more the future president will support you."

"...You don't seem to be worried that the chairman will lose the election."

"After all, he has been looking after him for ten years, and everyone likes this kind of tough and masculine leader. But the gentleman promoted by the Co-Prosperity Party opposite him is just a frail intellectual who goes by the rules, and he is just an old monster. A puppet."

The old monster in Feifei's mouth is naturally the leader behind the Co-Prosperity Party, Mao Yuanzuo, who has been active in the community's political arena since the imperial era.

To be honest, Yu Lian really didn't have much interest in the process and results of the election. He just hoped that both sides would not affect the frontline war just to increase their presence.

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

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

Therefore, Yu Lian first sent another report to Yang Xiyi on the front line, explaining in detail the whole battle situation and his judgment. He still feels that the entire battle process is full of surrealistic absurd design, and always feels that everything is inconsistent, but after all, this is just his feeling. 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 "Fox of the Outer Ring" to analyze. This is how people make the most of their talents.

Later, Yu Lian sent another letter to Major General Azisha Mallowan, asking the eldest sister to find a few psychics of the sensory system. It would be best if they happened to be "explorations" with professional counterparts.

This is of course to be ready to support Wein's reconnaissance fleet at any time. If traces of the Predator fleet are really lost there, it is possible to find the location of the new gravity well through the remaining gravity information and changing cosmological constants.

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

No matter how hard it is, you can still do it yourself. Of course, in this way, he would be guilty of being unorganized and undisciplined...

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

"It's the Marco Cook. If you keep calling the Throne in public, you'll be caught in the act." Feifei corrected: "The daily maintenance has been basically completed, and the new main gun capacitor has been replaced. , the solid-state energy package and the charcoal package of the ecological balance system, 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 side has proposed that the meteorites wrapped on the outside of the ship be removed The shell is replaced by a liquid armor made of Sendano alloy."

"It won't take more than half a year, and we have to return to the mainland?" Yu Liandao said: "Let Mate Kong sail the ship to New Port Arthur."

Feifei did not accept the order immediately, but looked at Yu Lian without speaking with a smile, which made the latter tremble a little.

"Do I still have such authority now?"

Feifei smiled and said: "Actually, there is not, but Lieutenant General Seyo does, so it is not a big problem. Of course, it is best to find a reason to escort members of the domestic delegation, the press group, and the allied observer group to New Lushun for inspection. After all, this dreadnought was captured by us from the plunderers. If we want to demonstrate our national prestige and build the confidence of our citizens and allies, there is no better magic board than this. Look, isn’t this a high-sounding reason?”

As a result, I 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 civilian representatives who have come from afar. Only in this way can you be justified."

"Civil representatives..." Yu Lian felt goosebumps all over his body, but he still pinched his nose and forced out a smile: "Fortunately, there is the sea below New Lushun, at least you can fish."

"It's good to catch fish, isn't it? What the civil representatives like most is the alien atmosphere." Feifei also smiled: "Don't make such an expression, think about Teacher Yang and the others on the front line. There is no news about you. You are very happy to stay at the back comfortably."
