Chapter 224 We Can’t Stand It Anymore!

Suppressing the anger and unwillingness in his heart, and forcing himself to regain his sanity, Wang Qing immediately realized that if this situation continued, then his defeat would be the only outcome.

In any case, we must seek some new changes and make some new adjustments.

He looked at the commander of the Ita fleet stationed on Neptune, who was sitting next to him in a space suit.

He was an Ita. But at this moment, Wang Qing was the highest person in charge of the security of the Neptune system.

The commander looked at Wang Qing with a solemn expression: "Director Wang, we must make a decision as soon as possible."

Wang Qing took a deep breath and slowly stood up: "In this case, I decided that the battle situation will make the following adjustments: temporarily abandon all current tactical goals, and the guard ships and Ita warships will take merging together as the primary goal.

To achieve this goal, I decided that the guard ships will form a spearhead formation and go all out to move closer to the Ita warship. The same is true for the Ita warship."

Hearing Wang Qing's words, all the officials present were shocked at the same time.

Officials who can sit here, even those in charge of logistics, have more or less knowledge of the strategies and tactics of interstellar wars. So, they immediately understood Wang Qing's intentions, and... the price of doing so.

It's okay to form a spearhead formation, and it's okay to get close to each other, but, with the enemy fleet trying so hard to stop them, how much will it cost to force them to get close?

To be more frank, this tactic is actually to pay a part of the casualties in exchange for the other part of the warships to join the friendly forces - the middle of the spearhead formation does have a great possibility of breaking through the blockade, but the warships on the two wings are very likely to be destroyed by the enemy!

Then a very realistic question is, which warship should be on the two wings and which warship in the middle?

To put it more bluntly, who should be sent to die and who should be allowed to survive?

"Director Wang, this won't work, I object! In this case, the price we pay is too huge!"

"We will suffer huge casualties! It may even affect the fleet!"

At this moment, all the subordinates, regardless of their ranks, immediately spoke out in opposition.

Wang Qing smiled slightly crazy, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I know, so what? At this stage, do we have any other ways?

The current situation, to put it more clearly, is a war of attrition! The only difference is whether the enemy consumes our quality first with quantity, or we consume the enemy's quantity first with quality!

Only by getting together can we reduce our consumption rate and improve our survival rate, so that we can hope to consume the enemy before we are consumed!"

One person facing ten wolves will undoubtedly be besieged to death. But, what about a thousand people facing ten thousand wolves?

These thousand people will organize themselves, each responsible for one aspect, and with the division of labor and cooperation, there is a great probability that ten thousand wolves will be wiped out.

The difference lies in the degree of organization.

With a high degree of organization, the consumption of one's own side will be sharply reduced, and the loss of the other side will increase, and eventually the other side will be consumed alive.

Wang Qing's strategy at this moment is to improve his own degree of organization by letting the guard ship merge with the Ita warship. In this way, we can achieve the effect of one thousand people destroying ten thousand wolves and win the victory of the Neptune defense war!

The only obstacle is that if we want to get closer to each other and improve our own organization, we must first pay some casualties.

Facing Wang Qing's questioning, the officials present returned to silence again.

At this moment, there is really no other way except Wang Qing's plan. And... the commander of the Ita fleet and you, Wang Qing, the two highest leaders, have agreed. It seems useless for us to object.

"Then implement this plan!"

Wang Qing's voice suddenly became high: "Although Neptune is located in a remote area, it is also the Neptune of mankind! The great cause of human revival cannot afford the cost of losing Neptune! For the sake of human revival and the Pluto development strategy, Neptune must be defended and it will definitely be defended!"

"Yes!"

Several staff officers, secretaries, commanders, etc. immediately began to refine this overall strategy and began to make subsequent arrangements.

Wang Qing raised his head, and his eyes seemed to extend through the ceiling into the space.

"My brother, comrade, comrade, Han Yang, don't worry, this time, I won't let you down again. I will definitely defend Neptune...

Even if it's just for the friendship of you sacrificing your life to save me twice, even if I'm torn to pieces, I must defend Neptune and must not let the rebels take it away, definitely, definitely!"

At this moment, the vast space with Neptune as the core is still quiet. Except for a few occasional explosions, everything is calm as usual.

A total of nearly 20,000 warships, countless satellites, probes, mines, artillery, interstellar defense facilities, etc., all seem to be invisible.

Interstellar space is really too vast. With the naked eye, no matter how fierce the war is, it seems to not exist at all. Only those who are really on the battlefield can perceive how fierce the battle is at the moment through those lines of data.

At this moment, all the details on the battlefield of Neptune are clearly presented in Han Yang's mind, just like reading the lines on the palm.

Every detector on the battlefield, every satellite, every radar and telescope on every spacecraft, every artillery position, and so on, are all Han Yang's eyes and ears.

All the data generated by these countless observation devices poured into Han Yang's mind like a surging river. Then, under Han Yang's huge computing and analytical capabilities, they were instantly eliminated and transformed into the next step of operation instructions, which were distributed to each corresponding device in different categories, pushing the progress of the battle at this moment.

Under this control, Han Yang almost instantly noticed the changes in the battlefield.

Two battlefields, the eight Ita warships in one battlefield - there were eight at the beginning, and there are still eight now. For such a long time, Han Yang has not been able to destroy one - began to gather together, forming a sharp knife formation with hundreds of kilometers between them. In the other battlefield, the remaining 200 or so guard ships also formed a sharp knife.

Two sharp knives, the blades facing each other. And in the middle of the two blades is the defense line set up by Han Yang.

Pierce this line of defense, and the two parts of the enemy will merge. If you can't pierce this line of defense, you will be divided all the time!

Han Yang was still calm at this moment.

"Wang Qing, it seems that you have grown a lot over the years... In such a chaotic battle, you can actually see the crisis, and you can make up your mind so decisively and choose the only correct response plan..."

Even from Han Yang's perspective, at this moment, the only way for the Neptune Defense Fleet to survive is to gather together, improve organization, reduce their own consumption and increase the opponent's consumption.

Even Han Yang had to admit that Wang Qing, who had grown to this point, was a strong opponent.

But Han Yang had expected it.

He had never looked down on anyone. As early as the beginning, he had prepared that the opponent was difficult enough to find his only weakness and find the only correct strategy.

"In that case, let's fight and see if you can break through my defense line..."

This battle in the vast space is becoming more and more crazy and cruel at this moment.

At this moment, whether it is the Neptune defenders or Han Yang, the loss rate of warships on both sides has risen sharply.

In just one hour, 10 guard ships were destroyed. On Han Yang's side, more than 500 warships were destroyed in the starry sea under the joint attack of the guard ships and the Ita warships from two directions.

At this moment, although Han Yang still maintained the combat power of 7,000 warships in the battlefield, there were only 3,200 reserve warships left!

As of now, more than half of the 24,000 warships at the time of departure have been killed or wounded!

But even so, Han Yang still fought to the death! Those warships still rushed forward one after another, even if they were about to be destroyed in the next moment, they had to bite off a piece of meat from the enemy.

If they couldn't bite off the meat, it would be good to scrape off a layer of skin.

In any case, the two sides must not be allowed to merge!

Under the cover of the calm space, the battlefield has been as crazy as a meat grinder.

This is a contest between warships of different technological levels, but it is also a contest of wills!

"Everyone, hold on, don't retreat, don't retreat! Anyone who dares to retreat will be charged with treason! Go to the military court after the war!"

"Hold Neptune, I will personally ask for credit for you from Governor Marentin, Corps Wolfe, and Commander Van Litten!"

"Hold Neptune, each of us is a hero!"

"There is no way out behind us! Behind us are hundreds of millions of fellow human beings, and behind us is the great cause of human rejuvenation! Whoever retreats, whoever is cowardly, will be the sinner of the entire civilization, and even if he dies, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

In the command room, Wang Qing was like a madman.

At this moment, the battle situation has reached the most stalemate moment. But in Wang Qing's eyes, the dark space is full of flashes of hope.

"Hold on a little longer, charge again! The enemy will soon be unstoppable, and we will be able to meet up soon!"

"Soldiers, charge! Hold on! Hold on..."

Suddenly, Wang Qing's roar stopped abruptly.

Because at this moment, a voice full of despair, fatigue, fear and collapse suddenly came back to the command room.

"Supervisor, commander, we can't stand it anymore!"

"They are not human at all, they are all crazy, all beasts, they are not afraid of death at all!"

"Many brothers died, we can't get through, I don't want to die, I just got married, I don't even have children, I don't want to die!"

"They are coming! They are coming! Run, run!"

On the big screen in the command room, Wang Qing clearly saw that a blue bright spot representing his own guard ship suddenly deviated from the original relatively strict formation, and rushed away from Neptune in a panic.

Wang Qing was furious: "Hold your post! Dare to be a deserter! Aren't you afraid of going to a military court! Go back!"

"We can't stand it anymore! I'm so scared! Ah ah ah ah ah run ah ah!"

On the screen, the bright spot was still fleeing outward. The voices coming from the communicator became increasingly chaotic, as if many people were shouting, many were crying, and many were howling in despair.

"Go back, go back!"

Wang Qing shouted hoarsely, "You can't leave, you can't leave! Once you leave, the formation will be scattered, and all efforts will be in vain! Go back, go back! I, I beg you, go back!"

Wang Qing opened his eyes wide, and his eyeballs were bloodshot. His voice was hoarse, and now it was as sharp and harsh as two pieces of iron rubbing against each other. He leaned forward and stretched out his arms vigorously, as if he wanted to grab something from the void.

But he ultimately caught nothing. At this moment, the noise in the communicator suddenly disappeared completely. In the screen, the blue dot also disappeared.

This means that the guard ship has been destroyed at this time.

Wang Qing's body stiffened instantly. The next moment, he slowly sat on the chair like a wooden man. Then, the body collapsed instantly as if it had lost all its bones.

However, with the sudden appearance of a loophole in space, many enemy warships rushed toward the gap like flies that had smelled the stench.

The surrounding guard ships worked hard to make up for it, but still failed to fill the gap.

The next moment, a chain reaction started. The originally relatively strict sharp knife formation suddenly lost its shape at this moment and fell into a melee.

Not long after, another urgent voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Our spaceship is seriously damaged and can no longer fight. It is in urgent need of repairs! Let's withdraw first!"

A blue dot struggled to break away from the large army and flew away from Neptune.

"Report to Commander, Report to Manager Wang! At this moment, the war situation is irreversible. We must retain our strength for the guards! A total of 159 officers and soldiers in our spacecraft unanimously agree to evacuate the battlefield first!"

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

Chaos, complete chaos.

At this moment, every guard ship was desperately escaping from the battlefield, maneuvering in a direction away from Neptune in a desperate manner.

At this moment, the performance of the guard ship, which far exceeded that of the enemy warships, once again came into play.

Fight, can't beat. Escape, there is still great hope!

The eight ETA battleships were still fighting desperately. But after the guard ships were in chaos, more than 80 guard ships took advantage of the chaos to escape. The remaining guard ships were directly surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. Then, after all the enemy forces came towards our side, they finally panicked.

These eight ETA warships destroyed a total of almost 6,000 enemy warships in previous battles, accounting for almost half of the opponent's total losses.

However, even if there are 6,000 pigs, it will take a lot of effort to kill them.

At this moment, these eight ETA warships were more or less damaged. Moreover, the soldiers' energy has almost reached its limit, and the ship's ammunition and fuel have been consumed in large quantities, leaving very little left!

At this moment, the eight ETA battleships flew away from Neptune almost at the same time, as if they had a telepathic connection.

Before leaving, they didn't even ask for permission!

Just kidding, we are Eta people, and the lives of us Eta people are more valuable than the lives of you despicable humans! Even if Neptune is lost, our lives cannot stay here!

At this moment, the ETA battleships and guard ships were scrambling to escape from the battlefield.

This time, it really exceeded Han Yang's expectations.

Before the war started, Han Yang deduced every possible change in the war situation and made plans for each change. But this was the only thing he didn't expect.

The guard ship and ETA battleship... actually ran away? Ran? Are you kidding me?

The real battle of wills has just begun, the battle has just become a little cruel, and you can't stand it anymore? He actually ran away?

Is this still the invincible and invincible Eta fleet? Is this still the guard fleet that frightened the rebels and fled in panic?

I still have so many backup plans, so many arrangements, and so many tactics that haven’t been used yet, so you just ran away?

The smile on Han Yang's face completely disappeared, and he finally became serious.

He suspected that this was a ploy to lure the enemy and cheat defeat.

And this was not what he expected. This means that there are some aspects and changes that I have not considered before.

Han Yang's brain was running at full speed at this moment. He incorporated at least a million parameters into the battlefield analysis model, trying to analyze the enemy's true intentions and the conspiracy that might be hidden behind the scenes.

But...three seconds later, the analysis ended, and Han Yang could not find any reasonable explanation.

No, in fact there is one reasonable explanation, and it is the only one.

That is, the enemy was really defeated and really ran away.

"do not care."

Han Yang gritted his teeth: "Let's pursue it first. It would be a pity if we miss such a good opportunity. At worst, I'll be more cautious and careful."

Han Yang immediately detached about 7,000 warships and pursued the fleeing enemy fleet. While pursuing, he launched a fierce bombardment from behind.

The maneuverability of my spaceship cannot keep up with yours, but no matter how fast you are, it can't be faster than electromagnetic cannon projectiles and laser cannons, right? Just hit it.

When chasing around the remaining satellites of Neptune, Han Yang became slightly more solemn.

Although it is unlikely, if it is really a fraud, the ambush location can only be around the other satellites.

After all, there are still two Eta battleships and eighty guard ships left there.

Han Yang knew this very well.

But the next moment, a situation beyond Han Yang's expectation appeared again.

He clearly saw that the two Eta battleships and eighty guard ships that had never participated in the battle, at this moment, accompanied by the arrival of the defeated fleet, actually left the planet without firing a single shot, and also gathered together. We entered the defeated fleet and began to escape together!

Moreover, because they have sufficient ammunition, sufficient fuel, and the ship is intact, they can run faster than the defeated fleet!

A total of 10 ETA battleships and the remaining 160 or so guard ships all escaped, leaving no one behind!

At this moment, there are only some automated defense forces left in the Neptune system, and not a single battleship is left. However, without the battleship, the automated defense force can be easily removed.

It was only at this moment that Han Yang truly confirmed that Neptune really belonged to him!

At this moment, all the officials in the Triton command room looked ashen.

The army was defeated like a mountain. At this moment, the last hope of victory was lost.

Originally we were counting on a big victory, but now, we can't even hold on for a day...

At this moment, the army is pressing down, and we can't even leave Triton...

An officer suddenly stood up and left the command room without looking back.

"It is a foregone conclusion that the rebels have occupied Neptune. I remember that there are still several members of the rebel organization 'Earth Party' imprisoned in the prison. Maybe I can still have relations with them at this moment. But it is not possible. The secrets I have, my wealth , you can donate them all to save your life..."

The remaining human officials looked at each other and left the meeting room in silence.

Before leaving, no one paid attention to Wang Qing, who was slumped in his seat like a puddle of lifeless mud.

At the end, only Wang Qing and Asunde, commander of the Neptune squadron of the ETA fleet, were left in the conference room.

Assunde glanced at Wang Qing with pity, shook his head, and turned to leave.

At this moment, it is a foregone conclusion that Neptune will be occupied by human rebels, but as an Eta person, according to common sense, there will definitely be no good ending. But he didn't feel panic at all at this moment.

the reason is simple. He is very sure that he still has high enough value. And this will determine that he will be treated politely by the rebels. Unless the rebels are all a bunch of brainless lunatics who only know how to kill.

Judging from the current situation of the war, it is impossible for the rebel organization to develop to this stage without brains.

"No matter what, the overall situation of the rebels being weak and the Eta being strong has not changed. After occupying Neptune, the rebels will always face a more powerful attack by the Eta fleet.

I will be a hostage. At the same time, because I am the highest-ranking Eta person in the Neptune system, I will also become the only channel for communication between the rebels and the Governor's Mansion.

No matter how fierce the fighting is, as long as the rebels still have brains, I, the only communication channel, will definitely remain.

In other words, not only will I not die, but I will also get the treatment I deserve.

Since the rebels will not kill me, I will plan carefully. When the rebels come to capture me, I will give them a blow, humiliate them, and highlight the dignity of the Ita people.

After I find a way to leave the rebel territory, I will think of a way to plan, and maybe I can still get the reputation of 'Although I was captured, I am not afraid at all, I am strong-willed, and I retain the dignity of the Eta people'. You can also get promoted. Anyway, it’s not my responsibility to fall into Neptune…”

If you have confidence in your heart, you will naturally not be afraid, and you will naturally be qualified to show mercy to Wang Qing from a higher perspective.

As Asunde also left, Wang Qing was the only one left in the conference room.

Wang Qing raised his head with dull eyes, staring at the ceiling, with a sad smile on his face.

"Brother Han Yang, I'm sorry, I let you down again.

I really don't have the face to trouble you anymore and make you sacrifice yourself to save me again.

It's a pity that I can't accompany you on the road to the future. I can no longer fight with you in the cause of human rejuvenation..."

He muttered to himself, took out a delicate pistol from his arms, pointed it at his temple, and slowly pulled the trigger.
