Chapter 186 Sudden Attack
"This..."
Tenterris's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "How can this be? This is a space mine made of plasma! Why, why didn't I see those mines?
"The enemy used signal deception. It must be the [dead] guy. What she is best at is this method. I should have guessed, but..."
Xiaoxu seemed to hate herself a little. She hurriedly said, "I will immediately analyze the signals of these space mines!"
After saying that, Xiao Yu immediately began to analyze.
Tenterris also took action. He immediately ordered the fleet to brake urgently and asked the adjutant to wake up General Gavin. In less than three minutes, more than a dozen warships hit mines and were destroyed by a sudden outbreak of plasma with tens of millions of high temperatures. At this time, General Gavin also hurried over, his hair was messy, his clothes were buttoned two wrongly, and he even forgot to bring his military cap, so he appeared in front of Tentris.
Tenterris quickly reported what had happened to General Gavin. After saying that, Gavin did not hesitate and said, "This must be the prelude to the enemy's large-scale attack. Immediately send a signal to the Fourth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet to get here in the shortest time.
As soon as the order was issued, Xiaoqi's voice sounded: "Well, I have analyzed the signals of these mines, and now I will hide their deception*."
As soon as the sound fell, the screen of the command room changed dramatically. Countless black light spots appeared densely in front of the fleet. Its density actually had a feeling of covering the sky and the sun, which even gave people the illusion that the whole nebula was composed of such black mines.
"This...my God."
Tenterris let out an exclamation. In the left and right and up and down directions in front of the fleet, they were all dense black space mines. That is to say, unconsciously, they are all surrounded by space mines.
"What about our reconnaissance spacecraft?"
Gavin said with a gloomy face.
"The signals of the reconnaissance spacecraft sent out are all there and have not been affected in any way." Tenterris said quickly.
"No, I'm afraid they have sacrificed." Xiaoyu said, "It's my careless. The signals sent by the reconnaissance spacecraft are true. If you guess correctly, the spacecraft must have been boarded and occupied by the enemy's mecha forces, so that we can deceive all of us."
"Bastard!"
Gavin's expression was extremely ugly. Previously, for the accuracy of the information, he sent at least 500 Longxiao-class warships as reconnaissance spacecraft. Now, the warships sent out have been sacrificed, which makes it a little difficult for him to accept for a while.
You know, in the war of the Kingdom of Danze, they defeated more than a dozen local fleets, and not even 300 warships were lost.
But now, it's not the time to care about the reconnaissance spacecraft.
In front of the fleet, the battleships of those mines have been found to be constantly launching strikes. In addition to the main guns, the four secondary guns, 16 * launchers, and more than 100 naval defense guns have been opened, and all kinds of rays and * ejected out to attack the dense space mines. Although this approach is not worth the loss, in order to protect the main body of the warship, they have to use this method to destroy mines that cost less than 100 gold dollars per minute at the cost of tens of thousands of imperial gold dollars.
Finally, more than ten minutes later, after paying the cost of nearly 100 warships being destroyed and more than 300 warships being bruised, the huge fleet finally stopped.
"Commander, do we turn now and withdraw from here immediately?" Tenterris asked.
Gavin was about to order, as if he thought of something, and shook his head and said, "No, you can't do anything for the time being. If I guess correctly, once we turn here, the enemy will inevitably launch a strike at our most chaotic time. The order made the five detachments at the tail of the fleet turn to place to prevent the enemy from launching a strike from behind us. The other spacecraft remained still, waiting for the arrival of the Fourth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet.
"Yes, Commander!"
Tenterris immediately went to send the order. Gavin stared at the screen with a gloomy face and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, he suddenly said, "Miss Bo, do you think the contact signal between us and the other two fleets can arrive accurately?"
"There may be some interference between communications, but I promise that the signal will arrive accurately." Xiaoqi said confidently, "Although that guy is extremely cunning, she is always only a primary artificial intelligence. She can use some small means. In this positive data contest, she is by no means my opponent."
Sure enough, as Xiaoqi said, a few minutes later, Gavin received a reply from the other two fleets, saying that he would quickly converge with the Third Fleet. But looking at the time when the reply was sent, it was actually ten minutes ago. This also means that these two replies have been delayed by the enemy for at least eight minutes.
However, after receiving the reply, Gavin was relieved.
"If the enemy finds that the signal deception fails, then it is likely to launch a direct attack on the fleet."
Thinking of this, Gavin immediately ordered to shrink the fleet, protect the transport ship and containers in the middle of the fleet, in a circular defensive posture, and face enemies from unknown directions at any time.
There was no mistake in his guessing. Five minutes later, the mines under the fleet suddenly dissipated, and a fleet of black warships rushed straight in. The front of each warship shone red light, which was the performance of the rapid charging of the main gun.
"The third, fourth and fifth squadrons immediately charge the main guns and prepare for battle. The second, sixth, seventh and eighth squadrons immediately turn to the same place and prepare for support!"
A series of orders were issued, and the fleet changed rapidly. The first three squadrons quickly adopted a high-speed charging state to charge the warship's main gun. Gavin had expected the possibility of fighting, and all the warships were preparing. With the performance of the Longxiao-class warship, it only takes less than 40 seconds to complete the charging of the main gun.
30 seconds later, the battle officially began.
The three squadrons were charged almost at the same time as the enemy. Thousands of red lights exploded violently in this nebula, but in an instant, thousands of warships from all sides were destroyed. The violent fluctuations caused by the explosion made all the spacecraft and containers swing, and countless wreckage scattered away, extremely tragic. Lie.
Although its performance is more advanced than the enemy, it is slightly inferior in quantity.
Only 3,000 warships on the federal side launched an attack, but the number of enemies is more than twice theirs. After the first round of qi shooting, more than 400 warships of the Federation were destroyed on the spot. In addition, 200 warships lost their combat ability, and more than 600 warships suffered different degrees of damage. And their enemies are about more than double their casualties.
The lost data was sent back to the flagship, and Gavin was first heartbroken, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, the enemy's warship performance exceeds that of the Wumu-class warship, but it is not as powerful as the Longxiao class. This immediately increased his confidence. Before the second round of rave, the other four squadrons had completed their turn. The number of warships launched this attack on the enemy was double that of the previous one. Gavin was confident that the enemy would lose at least 2,000 this time!
"Miss Bo, can you interfere with the enemy's fleet?"
Even in the fierce battle, Gavin did not forget Xiaoyu and hoped to get help from her. However, the result disappointed him a little.
"Sorry, the enemy's light brain has a defense module that is immune to artificial intelligence attacks, and artificial intelligence is stationed in it. It takes at least half an hour to force* without knowing the password. In this case, I think half an hour is enough to end the battle.
"You're right. Although this method doesn't work, please ask Miss Yu to find other attack methods. At the same time, please be more responsible for the fleet and don't let the warships be controlled by the enemy.
"Don't worry, no one can control our fleet with me here."
The fierce battle is still going on. The undiscrimous shooting of the enemy and us made one warship after another explode, forming a circle of shock wave and pushing a large number of wreckage into the distance. Even on a transport ship protected by the fleet in the center, people can see the wreckage of warships floating through the porthole.
After more than ten minutes, the enemy fleet ended the brief exchange of fire after losing nearly half of the warships and slowly retreated.
Seeing the enemy retreat, Gavin finally couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Although the loss of the fleet made him feel like a knife, he finally survived. Seeing the final result, he couldn't help but regret it. Indeed, as Rebecca said, the combat ability of the main fleet of the Dragon Slayer is by no means the miscellaneous troops of the Kingdom of Danze.
Although the loss of this battle is less than half of the enemy's loss, for the newly rising Commonwealth, every warship and every soldier is an extremely valuable asset. Dragon slaughter can lose several fleets at will without any feeling, because they have a huge source of soldiers and equipment production base, and they can replenish their strength in an instant. But in the Federation, there is no way to make up for the loss of this battle in a few months.
What's more, the fleet was forced to stay here at this time, waiting for them, and they still don't know what it is.
At the same time, Gavin's heart is still a little uneasy.
It has been more than 40 minutes since the contact signal was sent, but the Fourth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet are still missing.
Will something happen?
Did you go the wrong way, or was it attacked by the enemy?
Waiting for more than ten minutes, Gavin felt that he couldn't go on like this.
So, he ordered the fleet to turn in batches and prepare to return from the way, on the one hand, bypassing the plague nebula full of space mines, and on the other hand, to look for traces of the Fourth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet.
