Chapter 1006： Ground meat battle

Although the sixth prince is younger than figures like Luc Stillberg and David Conan, he is not inferior in terms of leading soldiers in battle.

After Jean Johnson, Wang Xiaochuan, Wahid Kegman and the commanders of the fleets discussed the situation in detail, they decided to send three fleets under the command of Spartacus United to cooperate with the 9th and 10th fleets. The fleet will attack the Hydra Corps 1 and 2 from the flanks. Doing so can form a combat advantage and cannibalize the opponent's strength a little bit. It can also ensure the safety of the defense areas inside the star system without being flanked by the enemy.

Spartacus United has more than 7,000 warships, divided into 6 fleets, and lost nearly a thousand ships in the previous battle for the Karilan star system. At this time, there are only more than 6,000 ships, including some. Damaged the battleship, which is why Mackintosh dared to lead 5 of the Hydra Corps to attack.

The 1st, 3rd, and 4th sub-fleets joined the frontier battlefield, and cooperated with the 9th and 10th fleets and a large number of space-based unmanned defense platforms to launch a joint attack on the warships of the Hydra Corps, gradually eroding the enemy's vital forces.

As the offensive side, 1 and 2 of the Hydra Corps suffered considerable losses in the process of tearing apart the internal defense lines of the stellar system constructed by the 9th and 10th Fleet and the space-based unmanned defense platform. At least 200 ships were lost. The battleship, facing the three sub-fleets of Spartacus United, was obviously insufficient in combat power and began to lose ground.

There is no doubt that after many failures, it is a joy to be able to taste the fruits of victory. The 1st, 3rd, and 4th sub-fleets are getting more fierce offensive, and the 9th and 10th fleets are advancing steadily while being conservative.

By the time Johnson reacted, it was too late. The 1st and 2nd battleships of the Hydra Corps formed a very scattered formation. When the Spartacus united warships pursued the 9th and 10th fleets, they inevitably dragged the entire line of defense forward, making the previous line of defense. Distortion, evacuation, and a deep disconnection from the rear defense line appeared.

At this moment, the Dragon Xiang fleet, the Silver Fox fleet, the Polaris fleet, and the Quedala fleet appeared in the place where the Hydra Corps 2 had just attacked. Since the defense line that relied on the warp interception facility was torn, it did not cause much negative impact on the three Monya local lord fleets, but caused some minor damage.

These warships did not attack the inside of the star system after they appeared, but turned outwards, and coordinated with the 1st and 2nd units of Hydra Corps. They attacked the 9th Fleet, 10th Fleet, and Spartacus United in the middle. The three fleets of the team formed a front and back attack.

In any case, you can’t just sit back and watch your 5 fleets fall into the enemy’s encirclement. Johnson has to continue to deploy nearby garrisoned warships and defensive platforms to suppress the enemy’s support forces, and at the same time order the warships on the front line to stabilize. Pursue forward, so as not to further entice the enemy to go deeper.

How did you know that when some of the warships in the rear defense line rushed to aid the frontline friendly forces and counter-encircled the four fleets of the Dragon Xiang fleet, the Silver Fox fleet, the Polaris fleet, and the Quedala fleet, the second line of defense was as bright as weaving, and more Mongolian Navy The fleet was thrown into the Rutonado star system, causing a more serious chain reaction.

Because some of the warships on the second line of defense left their garrison, even if they had complete interception facilities, they did not have enough firepower to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, making the Southern Cross, Kaleidoscope, Sasha, Hellfire, and Jialan fleets only pay a small amount. The price detonated the second line of defense, which was also the central line of defense, breaking through the defensive net in a stepped formation mode and cutting the forces of the Star Alliance side into several strands.

The Monya Navy immediately invested 11 fleets in the internal defense line of the Rutonado Star System. Although the Star Alliance Navy has a large number of space-based defense platforms, communication jamming devices, curved speed interception facilities and other defense units, it is extremely powerful in coordination with the garrisoned fleet. Big advantage, but because of the new defeat, the morale was not stable, and the enemy was caught off guard. As a result, the Star Alliance navy side was in a lot of chaos, dragged down by the opponent's gradient and premeditated attacks, and was exhausted.

Just when Jean Johnson hesitated whether the remaining sub-fleets of Spartacus United, which is closer to the Central Military Port, rushed to the front line, the remaining three Hydra Corps appeared in several other defense zones on the edge of the star system to cooperate with the central battlefield. Each fleet launched an unusually fierce offensive towards the nearest line of defense, and a large number of manned/unmanned space-based defense platforms were destroyed by the gunfire of the fifth-generation warship.

In addition, according to the latest images captured by the reconnaissance unit, Mackintosh’s Ambition of Fire also appeared on the edge of the star system. Under the protection of the guard fleet, it began to sniper the speed interception equipment, creating a kind of force that has not yet arrived. The atmosphere of the Star Alliance Navy, which is already panicked, adds a bit of anxiety.

As the commander of the Monya Navy, the noble 6th prince of the empire, he dared to come to the front line in person, which in itself demonstrated his tough attitude and certainty of victory in this battle. The Star League, the Charles Federation, and the Dolanx Republic wanted to fight Monya in a war of attrition and eventually brought down their opponents. McIntosh chose to deal with it in a blitzkrieg, crushing his opponents with his strength and experience, and piercing them as soon as possible. The Star Alliance’s defense line, on the one hand, smashed the fighting confidence of the Star Alliance soldiers and civilians, and caused civil strife in the dignified civilian zhu country. On the other hand, it set an example for the Sulu Empire, the Phoenix Empire, and the Sauron Empire and invited them to join the wolves. Gourmet feast.

Of course, even if they can’t bring in several other specialized countries into the game, I believe they will make some small actions for their own personal gain, making the Adam government tired of coping, and even diverging strategic intentions with Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic. Thus weakening the enemy's alliance, and then seizing the opportunity to encourage those anti-war people to carry out large-scale protests and demonstrations, and then force the Star Alliance government to the negotiating table in the shortest time, and draw a perfect end to this war.

Still the same sentence, there are very few fools in this world and many smart people. The Star League, the Charles Federation, and the Dolanx Republic deliberately use their strengths to attack the shortcomings of Munya and Sulu. How could Munya and Sulu easily let them succeed?

From the standpoint of Luc Stillberg, Rutonado’s star system must not fall, because once it falls, it will open the door to the hinterland of the Star Covenant. The Monya Navy can use this as a springboard to some economic Stars and Resident Stars launch attacks, and you don’t have to worry about being blocked by the Star Covenant Navy and catch turtles in an urn. At the same time, it can also cooperate with the Sulu navy to attack the Ayalos-Koplin-Srandall no man's land, completely tearing the frontier defense line of the Star Alliance, and burning the war inland.

Although the Star Alliance is determined to fight a protracted battle, there is a prerequisite that the fighting spirit of the soldiers must be guaranteed. And what McIntosh wanted to fight was their fighting spirit. Jean Johnson considered for a long time and issued the latest order, using a large number of space-based defensive platforms spreading the void, and even 6 military ports and land-based firepower in the hinterland, to engage in guerrilla battles with the enemy, defeat the Mackintosh flash and quickly occupy it. The military ambitions of Karilan-Ruttonado no man's land.

Under such an order, the Star Alliance Navy no longer entangled whether the defense line is complete, and began to shift from a positional defense mode to a combat strategy of combining mobile warfare + positional warfare, expanding the scale of the battlefield, dispersing the Mongolian Navy’s power and forming a piece of combat area. So the offensive and defensive battle evolved into a chaos.

The Mongolian Navy lost the opportunity to break the face and use momentum and fear to disintegrate the Star Alliance naval fleet.

As the defender, the Star Alliance Navy has deployed many military facilities in the Rutonado star system, allowing Johnson to follow Luc Stillberg’s instructions to use the Coral Reef as the core to give full play to the powerful calculation and command capabilities of the relic equipment. , Precisely control the structure, troop strength, formation, and movement trajectory of warships in each combat area, and conduct reasonable consumption and exchange with opponents.

The Coral Reef is a semi-remains warship, used as the flagship of Spartacus United Deputy Commander Wahid Kegman. Based on its specifications, measurement data, and exercise record, the Star Alliance military evaluation agency has made a comparison, and the result is that the Coral Reef is inferior to the Tombdigger of the Deputy Commander of the Hydra Corps, Woolf Keith. But for some reason, no gravedigger was found in this critical battle.

Jean Johnson didn't know what Mackintosh was up to, whether it was his opponent underestimating the enemy, or whether he was delegated. Facing the current war environment, without the Tombdigger, the pressure on the Star Alliance Navy is much less.

In this way, the Monya Navy and the Star Alliance Navy started a ground-fighting battle in the vast space environment of the Rutonado star system.

At the cost of sacrificing space-based defense platforms, the Star Alliance cooperated with land-based weapons and large-scale military facilities to make up for the lack of combat experience and morale. From a slow retreat to a mutual victory, it gradually adapted to the offensive of the Mongolian Navy. , Began to stabilize the position, under the dominance of the Coral Reef and the Godsend, the cooperation became more and more tacit, and the transformation and connection of troops became smoother.

In addition to the Tombdigger, the Hydra Corps also owns the Eulogy Reciter, the Dragon, a relic battleship, and a semi-relic battleship. Due to the positioning of the battlefield, it can block ten at one time, but is unable to assist its own warships. There were thousands of battles, and the war situation became anxious.

Mackintosh saw that this type of attack could not take much advantage, and immediately changed the combat order to allow the entire ship to shrink the battle line, implement cross-guerrillas, and wave offensive combat situations to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and gradually adapt to the Monya Navy. The offensive Star Alliance navy became unsuitable again.

In doing so, the Monya Navy regained the initiative and gained a certain advantage, but it slowed the pace of war even more. Let this offensive and defensive battle around the Rutonado star system become protracted.

Jean Johnson and Luc Stillberg are willing to see the scene before them, because only this kind of tempering can make the Star Alliance Navy grow rapidly and become an actual combat force, so that the soldiers can restore their fighting confidence instead of feeling The Monya navy is so powerful that it is invincible... at least the navy of your country is not an opponent.

Mackintosh could only say that he reluctantly accepted this, because his blitz battle ended in failure, but because his own navy took the initiative, he could kill and compress the forces of the Star Alliance navy a little bit, and he could see the light of victory.

As the commander of the Hydra Corps, Empire General Laxmi Modi, according to his understanding of Mackintosh, this cautious and resourceful 6th prince should behave more aggressively, but in the next time , His Royal Highness did not issue more active and effective offensive orders as he intended, but maintained the status quo, traded time for space, gradually cannibalized and penetrated the defense line established by the opponents relying on military strongholds, and steadily advanced towards victory.

He thinks this may be because Mackintosh is a man who cherishes his life very much. Just like the rumors in the noble circle, the corners of the room of the prince are covered with thick leather. The big palace can't even be found. A fruit knife used to peel apples, Halifax once planned to give some robot maids to his brother, but the prince refused for safety reasons.

Because of this personality defect, Kolklav I prefers the latter to the fourth prince Sonic.

Laxmi Modi thinks this is normal. The 13th prince Halifax is a scientific madman, and the 6th prince Mackintosh is wise but afraid of death. Even he himself has small vices that he can’t get on the stage, such as Say... I like to smell the ku inside myself. Of course, no one knows about this-everyone who knows has already met Lord Shiva.

Different from the previous attack on the Carrilan Star System, in order to improve the fighting spirit of the Monya Navy, overcome physical and psychological exhaustion, and squeeze the combat potential, Mackintosh chose to drive the Ambition to go to the front line. In this way, in the war situation If the situation does not develop as expected, it is inevitable that you will be afraid of death. Compared with radical strategies, they tend to be more conservative and conservative.

"Fire Ambition..." Thinking of the name of the ruined warship, and thinking about Mackintosh's caution and dedication, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, very helpless and speechless.

The war in the airspace inside Rutonado’s star system continues to ferment, and the forces of both sides are constantly being consumed. The wounded and dead on the Star Covenant side are temporarily transferred to the underground medical facilities in the inland of the planet. The Munya side is much simpler, and the dead are executed. At sea burial, the lightly wounded personnel were simply bandaged and then continued to fight. The severely ill wounded were brought into the containment facility, and the ship was fully packed and flew to the battlefield hospital of the Tiantuk star system. As for the emergency services provided by medical ships, because of limited resources, they are only the welfare of the officer class.

Time passed by, and the flashes of artillery fire that permeated Rutonado’s star system continued unabated. Many people hadn’t closed their eyes for several days. Many people took a nap while naval guns were refueling and fighters were refueling. Some officers’ eyes Bloodshot, the voice roaring at the subordinates was loud and hoarse, like sandpaper smearing the wall. (To be continued.)
