One Thousand and One

Lost altitude? Ye Han was startled, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Yi's voice: "Engine failure, engine failure--"

"Which engine?" Ye Han screamed.

"All, all engines--"

Lin Yi's answer was like a basin of ice poured over Ye Han's head, freezing him from the skin to the bones.

The flying speed of the Yaoshan is enough to orbit Jupiter, but the position relationship between it and Ganymede is relatively static, and the altitude is only about 100 kilometers. The heavy warship loses power at this altitude, and the only result is that it will be captured by Ganymede's gravity and eventually stall and crash.

Even when the transport ship was beaten, it was one engine that failed one by one. Why did all the engines of the Yaoshan fail at the same time?

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ye Han's first reaction was to abandon the ship, but he suddenly stopped talking: "Lin Yi, how is the reactor?"

"The reactor is normal!"

"What about the weapon system? What do we have left?"

"Two 1020s, two laser close-in defenses and a tail turret."

"Close-in defense guns and tail turrets fire at full force, and irrelevant personnel abandon the ship immediately!"

"Yes!" I don't know how many voices answered at the same time, and the bridge door slid open silently. The bridge officers and the command officers, a total of dozens of people, rushed to the door together.

Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping turned around and flew more than ten meters away, only to realize that Ye Han didn't catch up. The two turned back at the same time and were shocked to find that Ye Han was still sitting in the command chair motionless.

Then the two heard Lin Yi's voice: "Commander, please leave quickly, I'll be here."

Ye Han's voice was extremely calm: "I gave the order, I must stay."

"Commander, you are the commander!"

"That's right, boss, you can't stay here!" Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping flew back together and landed beside Ye Han.

Ye Han looked at the three-view image of the warship flashing on the main screen and asked: "Do you know why I insisted that Yaoshan continue to fire?"

"Oh my division commander, why are you still talking about this now..." Luo Qi was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

Yaoshan is 100 kilometers high, and it takes more than six minutes to fall from here to the ground. Saying a few words will not delay anything. The problem is that the enemy's second round of light may fall on Yaoshan at any time. The first round damaged one-third of Yaoshan, and the result of the second round is still uncertain.

Ouyang Ping's answer was just as quick: "Do you want to cover Lishan Liangshan?"

"Yes." Ye Han nodded, "If the Yaoshan continues to fight, the possibility that the enemy will continue to attack the Yaoshan is very high."

"Then you can't stay!" Luo Qi immediately became anxious, "Ouyang, go!"

Ouyang Ping did not hesitate, and rushed up with Luo Qi, each holding one of Ye Han's arms, trying to carry Ye Han away.

"Let me go!" Ye Han was furious, "Are you two stupid? Am I the kind of person who jokes about myself?"

Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping were both stunned, holding Ye Han's arm and not letting go.

"Get out of here quickly, I will shoot you if there is a problem in the army!" Ye Han said angrily.

Luo Qi said with courage: "Isn't it like this in the movies? The enemy comes and the leader doesn't leave..."

"Get out, don't piss me off here, I can get on a lifeboat faster than you." To be honest, Ye Han has always believed that movies are all artistic processing. When encountering real danger, no matter who it is, the first reaction is to get out of the way quickly.

The founding process of our ancestors who overcame difficulties is indeed touching and tear-jerking, but in order to create conflicts, movies and TV often over-process and over-exaggerate, and commanders always make mistakes in critical moments and refuse to leave the command center.

In history, there are many military headquarters surrounded by the enemy, and there are also many military headquarters attacked by the enemy, and there are also many commanders who fought desperately and died at the hands of the enemy.

But how many commanders like those in movies and TV who know that the enemy is about to arrive, but refuse to move, and know that the difference in strength between the enemy and us is still head-on?

Except for movies and TV, Ye Han has not heard of such a situation in reality.

He is not unwilling to leave because he is showing off his ability, but once he leaves Yaoshan, he will no longer be able to control the troops. At this critical juncture, how can he leave the command post?

It is true that the troops can be commanded by radio after leaving Yaoshan, but whether they take the landing craft or the lifeboat, they will have to fight for their own safety. Ye Han himself is not sure how much energy he can devote to command the troops, so he decided to stay on Yaoshan temporarily, and it will not be too late to leave after the troops survive the enemy's counterattack.

However, there is no need to explain these thoughts deep in the heart to anyone, just think whatever you want.

Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping were really struck by lightning, and they really wanted to shout: Commander, this is not allowed!

Lin Yi explained on the side: "Boat No. 1 is destroyed."

Yaoshan is the flagship, and Boat No. 1 on the flagship is both Ye Han's vehicle and the command boat of the airborne troops. Boat No. 1 is gone, and Ye Han must think of other ways.

Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping finally understood what was going on. Ouyang Ping rushed to ask: "Commander, what about the others? How about my Boat No. 4?"

"What the hell are you sitting on? Isn't it messy enough?" Ye Han glared at Ouyang Ping, "Listen carefully, you two will be responsible for the organization in a while. The personnel of each boat will be evenly distributed. Even if there are no weapons and equipment, people must be loaded first. Also, the aircraft must be brought. If it can't be loaded, take the aircraft and tie it outside the landing craft. If it doesn't work, just carry the aircraft out. If you can land, land. If you can't land, chase any warship."

"Yes!" At this point, Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping didn't want to waste time any more.

Ye Han said again: "As a division commander, I'm taking advantage of Lin Yi and sitting in a lifeboat. Do you understand?"

"Understand..."

Yaoshan suddenly trembled a few times, and all the screens on the port side failed at the same time. Several people were stunned for a moment, and at the same time realized that this was the enemy's second round of shooting.

"Okay, get out of here!" Ye Han waved his hand impatiently after coming back to his senses.

Luo Qi and Ouyang Ping looked at each other and started the aircraft together to fly away from the bridge.

Only after the two flew away did Lin Yi whisper, "Commander, there are not enough lifeboats."

"I know." Ye Han said, "Why would we take a lifeboat if there are only two of us? Can't one or two flight bags land on the ground?"

Flight bags are consumables. Ensuring one for each person is the minimum standard. Under normal circumstances, an assault ship must ensure 30% of additional reserves.

The landing craft has limited space, and even weapons may be abandoned. There is no extra space for flight bags. As long as the remaining stock can be carried, there is no problem even if each person has ten or eight.
