Chapter 1006 Meat Grinding War

Although the sixth prince looks younger than people like Luke Stillberg and David Conan, he is not inferior at all in terms of leading troops to fight.

After discussing the situation in detail, Jean Johnson, Wang Xiaochuan, Wahid Kegelman and the commanders of the various fleets decided to send three fleets under the Spartacus Wing to cooperate with the 9th Fleet, 10th Fleet The fleet attacks the Hydra Legion 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, and it will not be attacked by the enemy from left to right.

The Spartacus United has more than 7,000 warships, which are divided into 6 sub-fleets. In the previous battle for the Caryland star system, nearly 1,000 ships were lost. At this time, there are only more than 6,000 ships left. Damage to the battleship, which is why Mackintosh dared to lead the 5 divisions of the Hydra Legion to attack.

The 1st, 3rd, and 4th sub-fleets joined the border 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 under the Hydra Legion, gradually eroding the enemy's vital strength.

As the attacking side, the 1st and 2nd divisions of the Hydra Legion suffered considerable losses in the process of tearing apart the internal defense lines of the star system built by the 9th and 10th Fleets and the space-based unmanned defense platform, at least 200 ships were reduced. The battleship, facing the three sub-fleets of the Spartacus United, was obviously insufficient in combat power, and began to retreat steadily.

There is no doubt that after many failures, it is a joy to taste the fruits of victory. The 1st, 3rd, and 4th sub-fleets were more aggressive in attacking, while the 9th and 10th sub-fleets were advancing steadily while remaining conservative.

By the time Jean Johnson reacted, it was already too late. The 1st and 2nd battleships of the Hydra Legion were scattered in formation. When the warships of the Spartacus United and the 9th and 10th fleets were chasing, they inevitably dragged the entire line of defense forward, making the previous line of defense unstoppable. Distortion and evacuation occurred, and there was a deep disconnection with the rear defense line.

At this moment, the Ryujo Fleet, the Silver Fox Fleet, the Polaris Fleet, and the Quedala Fleet appeared at the place where the Hydra Legion 2 had just attacked. Since the defense line relying on the warp speed interception facility was torn apart, it did not cause too much negative impact on the three Monya local lord fleets, but only caused some minor damage.

After these battleships appeared, they did not attack the interior of the star system, but turned outwards, and cooperated with the Hydra Legion 1 and 2 to attack the 9th Fleet, the 10th Fleet, and the Spartacus Federation in the middle. The three sub-fleets of the team formed a front and rear flanking trend.

In any case, you can't just sit back and watch your five fleets fall into the enemy's encirclement, so Johnson has to continue to deploy nearby garrison warships and defense platforms to suppress the enemy's support forces, and at the same time order the frontline ships that are in a state of engagement to stabilize and stop Chase forward, so as not to fall into the trap of luring the enemy to go deeper.

How did you know that some warships in the rear line of defense rushed to help the frontline friendly forces,

When the four fleets of Ryujo Fleet, Silver Fox Fleet, Polaris Fleet, and Quetara Fleet were anti-siege, the second line of defense was shining, and more Monya Navy fleets were invested in the Rutonado star system. cause a more serious chain reaction.

Because some of the warships on the second line of defense left the station, even if there were complete interception facilities, they did not have enough firepower to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. As a result, the Southern Cross Fleet, Kaleidoscope Fleet, Sasha Fleet, Hellfire Fleet, and Jalan Fleet only paid a small amount. The price is to detonate the second line of defense, which is also the central line of defense, break through the defense network in a stepped formation mode, and cut the forces of the Star Alliance into several strands.

The Monya Navy invested 11 fleets at once in the internal defense line of the Rutonado star system. Although the Star Alliance Navy has a large number of defense units such as space-based defense platforms, communication jamming devices, and warp speed interception facilities, it occupies a very large position in terms of the strength of the garrison fleet. Great advantage, but because of the new defeat, the morale was not stable, and the enemy was caught off guard, so that there was a lot of chaos on the side of the Covenant Navy, dragged down by the opponent's gradual and premeditated attack, and exhausted.

Just when Jean Johnson was hesitating whether to use the remaining sub-fleet of the Spartacus Wing, which is closer to the central military port, to rush to the front line, the remaining 3 units of the Hydra Legion appeared in several other defense areas on the edge of the star system to cooperate with the central battlefield. The fleets launched an extremely ferocious offensive to the nearest defense line, and a large number of manned/unmanned space-based defense platforms were destroyed by the gunfire of the fifth-generation warships.

In addition, according to the latest images captured by the reconnaissance unit, McIntosh's Ambition of Fire also appeared in the fringe area of ​​the star system, and under the protection of the personal guard fleet, it began to snipe at the warp interception equipment, creating a situation where there are still no troops yet. The atmosphere of the Covenant Alliance added a little bit of anxiety to the already panic-stricken Star Alliance Navy.

As the commander of the Mengya Navy, the noble sixth prince of the empire, he dared to come to the front line in person, which in itself showed his tough attitude towards this battle and his certainty of victory. The Star Alliance, the Federation of Charles, and the Republic of the Dolanx wanted to fight a war of attrition with Monya and eventually wear down their opponents. Mackintosh chose to respond with a blitzkrieg, crushing his opponents with his strength and experience, and piercing through them as soon as possible. The defense line of the Star Alliance, on the one hand, shattered the fighting confidence of the Star Alliance soldiers and civilians, causing civil strife in the pampered democratic country, and on the other hand, set an example for the Sulu Empire, Phoenix Empire, and Sauron Empire, inviting them to join this war of wolves Gluttonous feast.

Of course, even if they can’t bring in a few other dictatorships, I believe they will do some small tricks to seek their own personal gain, making Adam’s government tired of dealing with it, and even disagreeing with the Charles Federation and the Republic of Dolanx on strategic intentions. Thereby weakening the enemy's alliance, and then seize 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 possible time, drawing a perfect end to this war.

Still the same sentence, there are very few idiots in this world, but many smart people. The Star Alliance, the Federation of Charles, and the Republic of Dolanx want to use their strengths to attack the shortcomings of Monya and Sulu. How can Monya and Sulu easily let them succeed.

From the standpoint of Luc Steelberg, the Lutonado star system must not be lost, because once it falls, it will open the door to the hinterland of the Star Alliance. The Monya Navy can use this as a springboard to provide some economic Stars and Habitat Stars launch an attack without worrying about being blocked by the Covenant Navy's escape route. At the same time, it can also cooperate with the Sulu Navy to attack the Ayalos-Koplin-Slandal no-man's land, completely tearing the Star Alliance's frontier defenses and burning the war inland.

Although the Star Alliance is determined to fight a protracted war, there is a premise that the fighting spirit of the soldiers must be guaranteed. And it was their fighting spirit that McIntosh wanted to attack. Let Johnson think for a long time, and issued the latest order, using a large number of space-based defense platforms scattered throughout the void, and even the 6 military ports in the hinterland, and land-based firepower to fight with the enemy, defeat the Mackintosh blitz and quickly occupy The military ambitions of Carriland-Rutonado No Man's Land.

Under such an order, the Covenant Navy no longer struggled with the integrity of the defense line, and began to shift from the positional defense mode to the combat policy of combining mobile warfare + positional warfare, expanding the scale of the battlefield, and dispersing the power of the Monya Navy to form a battle area. So it turned from an offensive and defensive battle into a big chaos.

The Monya Navy lost the opportunity to break the fighting spirit of the Covenant Navy fleet with momentum and fear.

As the defender, the Covenant Navy has deployed many military facilities in the Rutonado star system, allowing Johnson to follow Luke Stillberg's instructions, with the Coral Reef as the core, to use the powerful calculation and command performance of the relic equipment , Precisely control the battleship structure, troop strength, formation, and movement trajectory in each combat area, and conduct reasonable consumption and exchange with opponents.

The Coral Reef is a semi-relic warship, used as the flagship of Vahid Kegelman, the deputy commander of the Spartacus wing. According to its specifications, measurement data, and exercise records, the Covenant military evaluation agency once made a comparison, and the result was that the Coral Reef was inferior to the Gravedigger, the deputy commander of the Hydra Legion, Woolf Keith. But for some reason, the Gravedigger was not spotted during this crucial battle.

Jean Johnson had no idea what Mackintosh was up to, whether it was his opponent's underestimation or his delegation. Facing the current war environment, without the gravedigger to disrupt the situation, the Covenant Navy would be under much less pressure.

In this way, the Monya Navy and the Covenant Navy started a meat-cracking battle in the vast space environment of the Lutonado star system.

At the cost of sacrificing the space-based defense platform, the Star Alliance used land-based weapons and large-scale military facilities to make up for the lack of combat experience and morale. From slowly retreating to winning and losing, they gradually adapted to the offensive of the Monya Navy. , and began to stabilize their positions. Under the control of the Coral Reef and the Godsend, the cooperation became more tacit, and the conversion and connection of troops became smoother.

In addition to the Gravedigger, the Hydra Legion also has the Eulogy Reciter, the Mosong, a relic warship, and a semi-relic warship. There are thousands of battles, so the war situation presents an anxious situation.

McIntosh saw that this attack method was not of any advantage, so he immediately changed the battle order, let the whole ship shrink the battle line, implement cross guerrilla, wave attack battle situation, so as to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and gradually adapt to the Monya navy. The offensive Covenant navy became unfit again.

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

Jean Johnson and Luke Stillberg are willing to see the scene in front of them, because only this kind of tempering can make the Covenant Navy grow rapidly and become an actual combat force, so that the soldiers can regain their fighting confidence, instead of feeling The Mengya navy is so powerful that it cannot be defeated...at least the navy of its own country is not an opponent.

McIntosh could only reluctantly accept this, because his blitz ended in failure, but because his own navy took the initiative, he was able to wear down and compress the strength of the Covenant Navy a little bit, and he could see the light of victory.

As the head of the Hydra Legion, the imperial general Laxmi Modi, according to his understanding of Mackintosh, this cautious and resourceful sixth prince should behave more aggressively, but in the following time However, His Royal Highness did not issue a more active and effective offensive order as he expected, but maintained the status quo, exchanged time for space, gradually eroded and infiltrated the defense line established by the opponent relying on military strongholds, and steadily advanced towards victory.

He thought it might be because Mackintosh was a person who cherished his life very much. Just like the rumors in the aristocratic circles, the corners of His Royal Highness's room were covered with thick leather, which could not even be found in such a large palace. A fruit knife for peeling apples, Halifax once planned to give his brother a few robotic maids, but His Royal Highness rejected them all on the grounds that they were not safe.

Because of this character defect, Kirkcraft I prefers the latter more than the fourth prince Sonic.

Laxmi Modi thinks this is normal. The 13th prince Halifax is a scientific madman, and the 6th prince Mackintosh is smart but afraid of death. Said... I like to smell my guts. Of course, no one knows about this - anyone who knows has already met Lord Shiva.

Different from the previous attack on the Carriland star system, in order to enhance the fighting spirit of the Monya Navy, overcome physical and psychological fatigue, and squeeze out the fighting potential, Mackintosh chose to drive the Ambition of Fire to the front line in person. If there is no development as expected, it is inevitable that you will be afraid of death. Compared with radical strategies, you are more inclined to a safe and conservative strategy.

"Fire Ambition..." Thinking of the name of the ruined battleship, and thinking about McIntosh's prudence and pity for his life, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, feeling very helpless and speechless.

The war in the inner airspace of the Lutonado star system continued to rage, and the forces of both sides were constantly being consumed. The wounded and dead on the Star Alliance side were temporarily transferred to the underground medical facilities in the interior of the planet. On the Monya side, it was much simpler. For sea burial, the lightly wounded were simply bandaged and continued to fight, and the severely wounded were brought into the containment facility, and they were sent to the field hospital in the Tiantuke star system after being filled with people. As for the first aid service provided by medical ships, due to limited resources, it is a benefit only for the officer class.

Time passed by like the wind, and the flashes of artillery fire that permeated the Lutonado star system continued unabated. Many people had not closed their eyes for several days. Covered with blood, the voice roaring at his subordinates turned from loud to hoarse, like sandpaper being wiped off the wall. (To be continued.)
