1532 Light and Darkness
Bakarov put aside the order from Marshal Genesis, and said with some helplessness: "We must not let the enemy see it, that is to say, we cannot retreat without loss. This is really a distressing decision. Woolen cloth."
"There is no way. If we give up the Higgs 5 unscathed, the other party will definitely suspect that we are digging a hole." The adjutant explained with a smile.
After all, even if it is acting, the losses on the battlefield will not be fake—they are all real losses. Real warships are destroyed by real enemy shells, and real battles are accompanied by real deaths.
No one really wants to be used as cannon fodder. Those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for victory are true warriors worthy of admiration.
Those so-called brave men who shouted and picked up their long swords and rushed towards the evil dragon had nothing to show off at all. What people really deserve to remember are those heroes who blocked the eyes and blew up the bunkers.
"But if we lose some warships and give up the Higgs 5, then the opponent is likely to attack our hinterland along the position we gave up." The adjutant continued, his words were full of regret and I can hear a bit of admiration.
"Okay, decide which fleet to perform? This may be the most expensive and terrifying performance in the world." Bakalov looked at the chief of staff of the 2nd Fleet who had already read the battle plan.
The chief of staff replied: "Marshal Genesis will personally lead the 1st Fleet to make way for them, and they will lose some warships... However, while losing, he will also give the opponent a ruthless blow."
"Aren't you afraid of knocking the other party away?" Bakarov smiled, and then these smiles quickly disappeared from his face.
Even though his Second Fleet is not the main attack in this battle, and the mission is relatively simple, the pressure on his shoulders can still be described as huge.
To be honest, he couldn't really laugh, because he was also facing the huge fleet of the Watchers, and he couldn't make any mistakes.
After all, he also holds a huge fleet in his hands, almost two-thirds of the total number of warships in the first fleet, all of which are in his second fleet!
The chief of staff said: "Marshal Genesis means that if the opponent is scared off by such a small loss, then they are not worthy of a war of attrition with us."
"Okay! We just cooperate." Bakarov rubbed his hands, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or others.
"Our cooperation is indeed needed! Marshal Genesis's plan is that when they are unable to block the enemy's attack head-on and start to retreat, we are responsible for attacking the enemy's fleet from the flanks and destroying as many enemy warships as possible." Staff officer Chang marked the offensive route of the Second Fleet on the star map, and said to Bakarov.
He drew a route on the star map with his hand, and then signaled the enemy's position: "Afterwards, the enemy will enter the low-earth orbit of the Higgs 5 along the position given up by the 1st Fleet. If not, the opponent will destroy Higgs 5, or land on Higgs 5."
"Marshal Genesis is so sure that the Watchers will follow our planned route and break into Higgs 5?" Bakarov narrowed his eyes, pointing out a loophole in the plan.
The chief of staff took out a copy of the analysis report and handed it to Bakarov: "According to the computer's prediction, the probability that the Warden will use the battleship to destroy the Higgs 5 is no higher than 7%. Ninety-three percent of them are going to send landing troops to fight with our garrison on the surface of the planet."
"Ninety-three percent? So sure?" Bakarov reached out and snatched the paper, looked it over carefully before handing it back to the Chief of Staff: "Go on."
"Yes, because the other party seems to be more willing to destroy any traces of civilization than to destroy the planet itself." The chief of staff took the words and continued.
"It sounds true, but with so many soldiers to test a result,
Isn't it a bit..." Bakarov thought of the garrison on the ground again.
"Actually, all the troops we deployed on the Higgs 5 have been replaced. The main force originally stationed on the Higgs 5 has been transported to the nearby Higgs 3 and 4... ..." the Chief of Staff immediately explained.
It is impossible for the Alan Hill Empire to risk the lives of real people. Those who stay on the Higgs 5 are basically "inhuman troops".
Those remaining troops were neither dwarf orcs, nor human elves, nor demons or dragons. They are all artificial humans or puppet robots, and it seems that they are really more suitable to be used as cannon fodder.
"Now there are 58 puppet robot divisions and 9 clone divisions, with a total strength of about 2 million." The chief of staff briefly introduced the defense deployment on the Higgs 5 planet.
Hearing his explanation, Bakarov realized that since a long time ago, the strength of the Higgs 5 had not increased significantly.
In comparison, the number of fortifications and weapons on Higgs 3 has been increasing, and the defense force has already broken through the 10 million mark!
If it wasn't for the uncertain direction of the enemy's attack before, the strength of troops stationed on the planet Higgs 3 might have already reached 100 million.
Bakarov nodded, feeling a little better: "Well, if you put it that way, I feel a little better."
Then, he looked at his adjutant and asked, "How long will it take for the enemy to arrive?"
"In about two hours, Marshal Genesis has already ordered the battleships driven by clones and robots to move forward." The adjutant replied immediately.
"He's really... ruthless enough! Even if there are only a few dozen cruisers, that's a sky-high price! He didn't even bat an eye, and easily pushed them out to die?" Even troops who knew they were going to die could say It turned out to be cannon fodder, but when it was really sent out, Bakarov still felt sorry for it.
That's a space battleship! Building a space cruiser would cost hundreds of thousands of tons of steel and other raw materials!
You know, the cost of building these cruisers, no matter how cheap it is, is calculated in billions! Such a huge investment is so easily discarded as cannon fodder, no matter who it is, it will feel distressed.
Genesis is really distressed, just to make the other party believe in the performance, so that the other party insists on investing troops in the front, all these sacrifices are worthwhile.
At least, for the fleet of the entire Elland Hill Empire, the dozens of warships dispatched this time are actually not fatal losses.
It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a drop in the bucket - the Alan Hill Empire has too many warships, and in fact, they can afford ten times and a hundred times of losses.
Just when Bakarov was feeling distressed, an officer came over and reported the latest arrival time of the Guardian fleet: "The enemy army has 90 minutes to arrive in the battle zone!"
...
On the ground of Higgs 5, the army of the Ireland Hill Empire has all entered the bunker. They are looking up at the sky above their heads, waiting for the outbreak of a big battle.
In fact, each of them knew and knew what the outcome of this great war would be—the fleet would give up their position and let the enemy start landing here.
And they also know what their mission is, they want to fight here, fight to the last second, lest the land behind them be ravaged by the enemy.
"The enemy army still has five minutes to enter the firing range of our army's forward fleet! The distance between the two sides is 4.5 million kilometers!" An officer reported to Genesis.
Genesis stood up from his seat, walked to the front of the porthole, and looked at the deep starry sky through his own shadow.
Soon, in that dark sky, light began to appear. The rays of light from clusters of energy laser cannons flickered, and were finally submerged in the occluded darkness.
The number of enemy fleets was simply too many, to the point where Genesis felt his scalp tingle. It was really a huge fleet that covered the sky and the sun, so huge that it could hardly see the end.
"The carrier-based aircraft is dispatched! Let them sink the enemy's warship as much as possible!" Genesis ordered.
"Obey!" The adjutant behind him stood at attention and saluted, and then left with the order. Genesis looked at the distant battleships again, watching the light over there gradually disappear under the darkness.
As if being swallowed by the darkness, the fleet of cruisers of the Elland Hill Empire that went forward lasted for less than five minutes before being wiped out and disappearing into the vast universe.
"Marshal's order! All carrier-based aircraft take off! The first round of strikes!" Grabbing the communicator in front of him, the aviation commander ordered in a solemn tone: "Gentlemen, come back alive! Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!" Hearing the commander's order, all the pilots pressed their earphones and replied loudly with the same solemn voice: "The carrier-based aircraft takes off! The engine starts!"
Just like the first time, Fangtoufangnao is like a super huge transport ship, on the giant 2nd-class super aircraft carrier, the side decks are slowly opened one by one.
The small combat ships already attached to the launch arms were propelled out of the hull one by one, and then the ejection mechanism propelled them into space.
The difference from the last time is that this time the carrier-based aircraft are equipped with nuclear bombs carrying armor-piercing warheads. This is a weapon choice based on the experience of the previous battle.
Soon, these carrier-based planes that left the aircraft carrier and carried nuclear bombs with armor-piercing warheads slashed into the distance like locusts.
Like so many stars, the densely packed formations of shipboard secrets as numerous as oceans form a long galaxy in the universe.
This Milky Way passed the main fleet, passed the side of Marshal Genesis, and rushed towards the darkness in the distance.
The Alan Hill Empire Fleet is like the light in the universe, the starry sky under the night, and the Guardian Fleet is the ultimate darkness, the most terrifying black hole in the universe.
"Marshal! The carrier-based aircraft unit has already contacted the enemy's battleship! The two sides are fighting fiercely! A small spaceship of the other side that we have never seen before appeared on the battlefield. The watchmen obviously also have warships like aircraft carriers, and they also Using carrier-based aircraft to fight!" A commander of the aviation unit came over and reported to Marshal Genesis.
"How's the battle going?" Genesis looked at the opponent and asked almost reflexively.
He was waiting for the news, and he wanted to know how much trouble his carrier-based aircraft force had caused the enemy.
If the carrier-based aircraft unit fights well, then he can lead his main 1st Fleet to get out of the way.
On the one hand, Genesis was also very worried that he would be beaten too badly by the opponent. The opponent gave up this attack directly. On the other hand, he was not willing to give up the Higgs 5 easily, so he was unwilling to let go and wipe out the opponent's fleet. Opportunity.
"Our carrier-based aircraft is competing with the enemy for air supremacy. Although we have destroyed at least 50 enemy warships, the opportunity for our carrier-based aircraft to drop bombs has disappeared due to the appearance of the enemy's carrier-based aircraft..." the liaison officer of the aviation unit He answered with his chin held high.
Obviously, the attack this time was not as smooth as the last time, because the enemy's carrier-based aircraft participated in the battle, the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Alan Hill Empire did not get any cheap.
"Aircraft carriers...there are also aircraft carriers...you can be cautious!" Genesis frowned, and muttered - he really didn't expect that the other party had something similar to an aircraft carrier, which could launch carrier-based aircraft to compete with the enemy for air supremacy battleship.
"The opponent is attacking our right wing! Our fleet is retreating in an orderly manner..." The Chief of Staff of the 1st Fleet looked at the star map in front of him and the situation where his right wing was constantly being compressed, and reminded Lao aloud. Erns Road.
Genesis ignored the "retreat" that had already been arranged. He hummed, and then asked about the relocation of the logistics facilities behind him: "How are the supply satellites and maintenance satellites along the way retreating?"
He didn't want to leave a magnet to the watchers if possible! Don't want to leave a piece!
"From the moment His Majesty prepared to turn Higgs 5 into the front line, the relocation work has already been carried out." The general in charge of this matter immediately replied: "There are still about 3 hours, we can do it a little bit." Nothing left for the other party!"
"It's really good news. I'll give you two more hours at most. The rest...if you can't take it with you, you can explode it or just throw it away." Of course, it was impossible for Genesis to give him another three hours. , shook his head and said.
"Yes! I think we should be able to transport all the things before the enemy arrives!" The general immediately stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and went to personally urge the relocation work.
In fact, he didn't want to leave anything...not at all!
