Chapter 114 Turn the tide

Huo Xiu saw the clues in the abnormality of the enemy's supply fleet, and then reports came that the enemy suddenly appeared around and attacked the aircraft carrier fleet. This series confirmed his speculation that the enemy gave them a set, and although he also drilled in, the results were different.

As expected by the enemy, a large number of the alliance's squadrons appeared, and the already prepared electromagnetic guns launched a round of saturation attack at the first time, severely hitting the squadron - the result was unsatisfactory. Huo Xiu sent only a few destroyers and an aircraft carrier, and the main force of the battle was all on *.

* In front of the huge magnetic shell, it can only be regarded as a flying fly, which can be hit by one blow, but the loss is relatively negligible, and the magnetic cannon needs at least a few minutes or even ten minutes to be charged. In this process, the attack of * makes the enemy warships in a hurry.

The final self-explosive attack almost destroyed the whole formation, but the result was worth it - the enemy's supply fleet not only failed to achieve the goal of the attack detachment, but also suffered heavy losses. Huo Xiu still kept his strength and concentrated his support troops around the battlefield, mastering the optimal battlefield distance.

"Sir, two aircraft carriers of our army were seriously damaged in this operation, with a total of 116 losses. In addition, there are no other excessive losses."

Ellino reported the results described by the commander of the returning team.

"Very good, now concentrate your troops and jump near the colonial star of the Ita galaxy." Huo Xiu ordered, "We will participate in the battle against the enemy and assist the Fifth Fleet to defeat the enemy!"

Eleanor nodded and immediately conveyed the order.

"Ser, we have gathered a total of 41 warships, including the Fifth Fleet detachment and the Fourth Fleet reinforcements, all under your command."

Huo Xiu sat down, and Eve controlled the jump engine and carried out accurate calculations. In a short moment, the invincible opened the transition fault space, and a sense of unknown came one after another. In this unknown area that subverts the rules of normal space, nothing can be calculated normally. Maybe you have felt very Long, but the real time is only a few seconds.

Huo Xiu breathes evenly, and his mind is full of information that can be collected so far.

"Destination has arrived, sir." In a trance, Eve's voice sounded in his ear. When he looked up again, the image displayed by the main screen camera was a space war.

"Contact me for the flagship." Huo Xiu said. Eve volunteered to take on this task. After passing Huo Xiu's voice out, the reply was quickly sent back-

"General Huo Xiu, Commander Zhao has fallen into a coma, and now you are the commander!"

Huo Xiu was stunned and then ordered, "Connect me to the commander's communication channel and keep it open."

"Let all the warships retreat and stay away from the enemy." Huo Xiu quickly issued an order to control more than 40 warships on his side to stay away from the battlefield and avoid falling into an encirclement. "All the magnetic rail guns are ready to attack the main left wing of the enemy, and continue to lengthen the front after the attack."

This sudden 41 warships made the enemy and us feel very different. When all the commanders heard Huo Xiu's voice, there was hope in their hearts. Although the deputy commander had just taken office, the reinforcements he brought gave everyone hope.

And the enemy is probably in a complicated mood now. They have clearly designed a trap to make the detachment and backup force fall into the quagmire of the sneak attack supply fleet, but how can they get out so quickly?

In the complex mood of both sides, dozens of warships began to shoot the first round of magnetic rail guns - although it was not as beautiful and exaggerated as the effect after the plasma cannon was fired, but it approached silently and at a high speed, and the objects flying at one-tenth of the speed of light were bombed in turn due to extraterres due to extraterres. On the enemy fleet.

Huo Xiu stared at the screen. What the camera captured was a scene of destruction. Most of the magnetic shells concentrated on enemy ships. Except for some deviations or happened to be deflected by the electromagnetic field shield, the damage caused by almost every shell to the enemy warships could not be ignored.

"sir, 41 magnetic cannons hit 31!"

Eve immediately reported the battle results. Although she could not reach the battlefield, the external cameras and sensors of Indestructible were many times stronger than the human eye. At the same time, the pictures of the battle she simulated were more effective to help Huo Xiu identify enemy ships hidden in the dark tens of thousands of kilometers away.

"Sun sir, we are currently surrounded by the enemy and ask for support." After the first round of attacks, the commanders of the detachment used a short respite to send a message to Huo Xiu, accompanied by a simple battle report and the damage of their respective warships.

Eve accepted it as a matter of course. Engineers are also equipped with the most advanced artificial intelligence because of this consideration - human beings cannot compare with the speed of machines, and the data in the war is extremely large. What the staff need is intuitive reports, rather than flying to the front and still bury themselves in sorting out documents.

"Hit the damaged warship in the center of the fleet, in a sharp shuttle shape, move quickly in the direction of the third planet, give up the charge of the magnetic track gun, and turn the power into the force field shield and engine." Huo Xiu quickly gave the order, and the general demeanor between words was undoubtedly revealed.

"Support the fleet to listen to orders." Huo Xiu continued, "After lengthen the front, maintain the firepower connection between the respective ships, cross, contain the enemy in the direction of the third planet, speed up the charging of the magnetic rail gun, and use long-range ballistic * to attack the enemy's rear."

The current situation is like the main force being surrounded, while the support force is dragging the enemy in the direction of the third planet, mentioning a situation of enemy attack, our army containment and main force retreat. If the two sides are not at war, this is definitely a coordinated formation.

"shir, we are close to the third planet."

The report made Huo Xiu look away from the star map and said, "Captains, use your talents to quickly enter the orbit of the third planet, and use the speed given by the orbit to circle you half a circle and quickly from the other direction to form a two-wing tactical formation with the reinforcements!"

It can be clearly heard. The captains on the opposite side were quiet for two seconds, and then the sound of inhaling sounded. Finally, someone said loudly, "I understand, sir!"

"Yes, sir."

The voices responded one after another, but more or less with excitement - when flying around the planet is no longer for the slowdown of entering the spaceport, but for acceleration, this makes people's adrenaline secreted crazily, but it is also an excellent solution. They can play an unexpected role in the enemy. Turn around and attack the enemy.

"shir, are you sure they can do it?" Eve seemed to be very interested in Huo Xiu's plan. When he opened his mouth, he had already calculated it roughly.

"It can't be a dead end." Huo Xiu smiled expressionlessly, but the only thing that made people feel was serious. "There are at least more than 100 enemy warships behind him. If they slow down, even * rounds of attacks can turn the warships into floating space garbage."

A spectacular scene occurred in the distance - the main force of the Alliance's Fifth Fleet quickly entered the synchronous orbit of the third planet in line. The speed brought by the planet's rotation, coupled with the speed of the warship itself, the whole process is constantly climbing up. The artificial gravity and stable air pressure in the warship make everyone intuitive. There are very few feelings, but when the warships like flying ants in front of the planet converged in a curved arc, the hesitant enemy has lost the best opportunity to pursue, and the support troops on one side immediately opened fire on them, and the second round of magnetic rail guns hit again.

The enemy rushed to the front and braked urgently, but the enemy in the rear was piled together because of the blockage in front of them. The fleet instantly fell into a deadlock in action. They used their own friendly ships, front, back and left and right. Even if they wanted to fight back against the enemy, they could not blindly launch powerful magnetic rail guns.

But the alliance did not have such scruples. In the face of piles of enemy troops, their hit rate was greatly improved. A magnetic rail gun hit a frigate following the cruiser - it froze in place at that moment, because its wing, which had been damaged in the * attack, was accurately hit by the magnetic rail gun and had long disappeared. The armor disappeared, and then the deck on the warship turned into fragments in the attack, and then the huge potential energy almost tore the frigate in half.

But no matter what the result is, it loses its motivation. The second round of attack hit at least 30 enemy warships and directly scrapped six warships. Huo Xiu, sitting on the command chair, sighed in the short moment when the frigate broke, and tens of billions disappeared in the blink of an eye. No wonder everyone said that the war was purely money-burning.

However, in a round of attacks, the enemy did not completely panic. Their commander was obviously also an experienced figure and immediately spread the fleet. On the one hand, they were ready to attack the main force of the fifth fleet emerging from the other side of the planet, and on the other hand, they advanced and carried out a long-prepared attack on the support force.

"Our army was hit by 16 warships and destroyed two." Eve reported the result, "The loss is small, thanks to your flexible strategy."

Huo Xiu continued to ask, "Do you have a way to find the flagship hidden in the enemy fleet?"

"The enemy has a total of 12 cruisers." Eve said, "It's not easy to distinguish quickly. I'm afraid it will take some time."

"Pour some of your energy to deal with this."

At this time, the fifth fleet around the planet rushed out at a high speed. While they were around, they had prepared the charge of the magnetic rail guns. While rejoined the battlefield, the enemy had come to their door. It became synonymous with this attack, and the mutual bombing of the fleets of the two sides once raised the battle to **.

Although the damage has been accumulating, it is different from the crisis that has just fallen into the encirclement. Huo Xiu's strategy saved the Fifth Fleet, and the gradual implementation of the means made the enemy show signs of uncertainty, but this fierce attack was only 30 seconds.

How short 30 seconds is on weekdays, but in the difficult space war, Huo Xiu feels like he has spent several years.

Unfortunately, the time to think will not be a few years, and it is still a short 30 seconds. He once again ordered the fleet to form a detachment and lengthen the front while organizing the enemy to break through in batches. Unlike land warfare, containment in space is a non-specific term. As long as it can be effectively delayed for a minute or two, it is a tactical advantage.

The battle continued, and within the next minute, the losses of both sides were climbing upward, and the valuable warships that represented their respective strengths continued to be destroyed. The intensity of this battle may be comparable to the war in which the rebels announced their departure from the alliance on the first day.

"Shir, there are some traces."

Eve brought a message and controlled the camera to zoom in a thousand times, focusing on a huge cruiser in the enemy fleet. Its engine was shining, indicating that it was to accelerate. It changed its direction, hid behind a nearby destroyer and hid. In the face of an extremely powerful fire attack, it had to choose to retreat...

"Is it like?" Eve's probability can't convince her, but human-like intuition tells her that this is the answer. Facing the extremely rare questions of artificial intelligence, Huo Xiu thought about it carefully and then said, "Let a nearby destroyer attack it."

"I understand." Eleanor nodded.

"Captain!" At this time, it is necessary for Huo Xiu to interfere with the control of the Indestructible. "You ask the operator to charge the plasma cannon immediately, and at the same time give up the electromagnetic field shield, transfer the energy of the reactor to the magnetic track gun, and notify me when the warm-up is over."

"Yes, sir."

ColoneL He Jun is very puzzled that although the flagship's protective ability is the strongest among warships, if the force shield is lost, the results will not be optimistic. Moreover, in the attack just now, the new flagship Indestructible has suffered many attacks, and a group of engines have stopped working due to overload.

"Let's see if anything can be changed." Huo Xiu said to himself. At this time, he especially wanted Annie to stay with him, even if he held her hand. This unknown secret, when he is highly nervous, especially wants to get close to the person who slows him down.

But tension is not the same as fear. He knows his responsibilities and the current situation - as he said a few years ago, his life is not his own, but the soldier under his command. Although his identity has risen at present - the deputy commander of the planet and the commander of the fleet, all he wants at present is to fight. Win the battle.

That's all.

A destroyer fired a magnetic rail gun and flew towards the hidden cruiser just now. Huo Xiu, like others, stared at the main screen.

"Aight at the target and launch a plasma cannon." Huo Xiu suppressed his excitement and gave the order, "The magnetic track cannon is ready to shoot accurately. Eve, it's under your control!"

"I understand, sir."

The first magnetic rail gun bombarded. Under the influence of the electromagnetic field shield, it shifted slightly, almost rubbed the belly of the ship, and disappeared into the night. Then, the surrounding frigate slowly leaned over and fired at the destroyer. The long-prepared destroyer reversed, turned on the emergency thruster, and dodged a round of * attack on the critical position.

Then, a blue-white flame seemed to ignite the whole deep space. It flew in a straight line in the gap left by the enemy's warships, and accurately hit the bow of the other party's cruiser in the process that the enemy did not expect, and the ultra-high-temperature plasma that broke out immediately gas The thick armor on the bow of the ship turns into red iron, presenting a strange spherical shape in the weightless space. At the same time, the melted bow exposed a row of skeletons, and the surrounding alloy armor is still in the trend of melting.

The enemy urgently closed the pressure gate leading to the bow position, and the warship seemed to be safe and sound - but a high-speed magnetic rail gun mercilessly pierced all their extravagant expectations. Originally, a magnetic rail gun could only destroy a layer of armor on the epidermis, but now the armor has been gasified by high-temperature plasma. Eve's precisely controlled magnetic rail gun attacked the plasma gun at the melting position.

Without the thousands of mm thick armor, the interior of the warship is extremely fragile - a series of shocks. According to the thermal sensing detection, the magnetic rail gun at least collides in from the bow of the ship and stops after breaking a line more than 300 meters long.

The enemy cruiser strangely remained relatively still on the Indestructible.

"The third team was ordered to attack the shabby flagship." Huo Xiu quickly ordered, and Eleanor played an almost synchronous relay.

Then the subordinate fleet is perfectly implemented.

The suspected enemy flagship was broken from it, and tiny escape pods kept ejected around. At this time, Huo Xiu gave a new order: "Team 3, use your remaining flash bombs (nuclear bombs) to attack those escape pods, and don't let the leaky fish escape!"

"Other squadrons have now collectively entered the counterattack stage and seize the time to attack the enemy."

Huo Xiu quietly waited for the result. It was impossible to determine whether the other party's cruiser was the flagship or not, but when the alliance fleet gathered forces again to launch an offensive and the enemy showed obvious signs of slowing down, Huo Xiu was able to be sure - he bet right. Although he needs to defeat the enemy's flagship or not, a small loss for a big victory is what he expects to fight against the enemy.

The enemy still resisted, and the replacement commander tried his best to save the defeat, but Huo Xiu, who had been prepared for a long time, would not give the other party this opportunity. He took advantage of the minutes of the destruction of the enemy's flagship to arrange a divided encirclement of the enemy again. Two minutes later, the enemy immediately reacted, but the fleet's * Launched out.

The death of the enemy flagship is only a catalyst at best. In any case, Huo Xiu has never allowed defeat since he joined the battle. This is not only out of self-confidence, but also a way to force yourself to realize your potential. When I sat back in the command chair again, fatigue continued to hit like a wave.

"Shir, a small unit of the enemy has entered a defensive state."

"Keep the fire input and continue to report."

"They are going to jump out of the battlefield. Do you want to pursue them?"

"No pursuit." Huo Xiu gave the order.

"I understand, sir."

......

was silent for a few minutes.

"shir, we won."

There was a suppressed excitement in the communicator. Huo Xiu nodded slightly and said, "The fleet should gather and inform the logistics fleet to give them the fleet coordinates."

"Yes, sir."

Everyone couldn't help cheering and celebrating, hugging, kissing and congratulating each other... The joyful atmosphere suddenly filled the whole combat command center that should have been serious.

In the end, this situation, which was supposed to be the defeat of the Fifth Fleet, was abruptly reversed by Huo Xiu. For a short half an hour, how many people were separated from each other. At the same time, it also laid Huo Xiu's command ability. In this battle that extremely tests the commander's adaptability, his performance was undoubtedly full.
