Him and their stars

When the report that "the enemy fleet is rapidly approaching, the entire fleet is warned" came, Lieutenant General Ledamant of the Grand Duchy of Anglaise's first reaction was completely confused.

On the battleship's warning light screen, the light spots representing the enemy ships kept flashing, like a group of arrows suddenly rushing toward them. However, through the porthole, only a dark sky can be seen. This strange scene resembled some horrific space ghost stories. The Amans on the bridge were frightened for a moment and their mouths were dry.

"What's going on?" Lieutenant General Ledamant stood up from the commander's seat and said to himself: "Is there something wrong with the radar? Moreover, aren't the people on earth fighting us in the West End Galaxy? How did their ships get here?"

No one answered him, and he didn't expect any decent answer. After all, General Angmans was just an "academic". He spent almost all of his military career in offices and cocktail parties, and the largest actual combat he ever participated in was just fighting pirates.

The reason why he was able to reach such an important position was simply because he was born into a wealthy family and had an uncle who worked as a butler for King Bedo in the empire.

He originally thought that he only needed to follow the army of the empire to the Friendship Station, and military achievements and honors would automatically appear, but he never considered what he should do when an unplanned crisis came.

At that moment, he behaved very slowly, not like a serious human being, but more like a very ordinary warrior.

"Your Excellency, we..." The staff officer's questioning voice was also full of uneasiness, and suddenly it sounded a bit like pleading.

Really, when encountering a situation, shouldn't it be the responsibility of you staff members to find someone's solution to the problem? You actually asked about the commander?

If it had been in the past, Lieutenant General Ledamang, who was born into a wealthy family, would have denounced him like this. But now, it is really not the time to make trouble unreasonably.

"So, this must be a mistake." He held his head high and said in a determined tone.

However, the next second, the radar officer really screamed: "At 3 o'clock, high-energy response, it's a torpedo!"

At this time, the first wave of attack aircraft with the New Shenzhou 1 piloted by Anne Romanova as its shoulder, entered the range of the enemy fleet's medium-range electromagnetic wave radar, and observed the opponent's panic.

"It's so lackluster!" Anne commented.

"The Amans and the Embu have always been at this level. When I served on the far coast, I had to deal with them a lot. But the Cathay people's corona is also so lax, which I didn't expect." The wingman's machine Long way.

"Maybe it's because we just had a fight with our main force and haven't recovered from the beating?" Wingman B said.

"Whatever it is. New Shenzhou Battalion, Formation A, spread out and start attacking!"

"Shenzhou 3 understands."

"No. 4 understands."

"..."

"Be ready to attack on the 30th!"

Anne Romanova could hear the reports of her subordinates who were either calm, excited or even overjoyed. The former is not much, but the latter makes up the majority.

This is certainly understandable. The New China Group she personally led was a recently formed unit. Only one-third of them were military pilots with long-term service experience. The rest were mostly recruited from the garrison, New China's Cowboy Bebop, and aviation school students. of. They do not lack experience in flying or even fighting, but compared with well-trained soldiers, the biggest gap lies in their ability to stay calm at all times.

In war, high morale is a good thing, but being too excited is another matter.

However, the recruits of the New China Squadron are lucky after all. Such a group of enemies who were completely in a state of chaos were perfectly suitable to be used to clear up wasteland.

"Just do what you learned during training. Three aircraft in one formation. Each formation hits and attacks one battleship. Ignore Enbu Mouse's battle cruiser for the time being, but Cathay Big Cat's Corona and Angmans Red The monkey's fire sacrifice must not be let go! Before the second wave of attacks from the commander of Yu Company, no more fearless ships are allowed in this galaxy!" Anne Romanova gave everyone the last message before the attack. Order.

"Ah hahaha, don't worry, sir, there won't be a single battle patrol left."

"Yes, as long as one of them escapes, I will go back to Tianshu Planet to dig out the excavator! I will never touch a military aircraft in this life!"

The communication channels were filled with such joy and optimism.

Amid everyone's high-spirited expressions, New Shenzhou 1 had already deployed its light wings and space bubbles in the face of the enemy's sparse anti-aircraft firepower, and flickered near its target like a ghost. It was the Iron Duke's corona-class dreadnought with the hull number K-017. In the previous battle, the front half of the hull was severely damaged by the Community's Nuwa. Until now, there is still a shocking gap in the outer layer of fluid metal that exudes a mirror-like halo.

Then, the anti-matter bomb wrapped in the space bubble was easily absorbed into the shield and armor with an efficiency more than three times higher than usual. The high-heat shock wave expanded directly within the hull, and the ensuing explosion tore half of the cabin of the dreadnought apart beyond recognition, killing all the senior officers on board and 10,000 people. crew above.

This was the first attack that this dreadnought suffered, and it was also the first attack of the "Surprise Attack on the Blood Gate" that would appear in almost all history textbooks in later generations and provide countless creative sources for various literary and artistic works.

That's one small step for the whole campaign, but one giant leap for the ship.

He immediately lost his balance, and like a headless fly, he continued to move crookedly based on his body's instinct, and then crashed into the nearest Enbu battlecruiser.

The size and mass of the latter were only a little more than half of the former, and the entire battleship suddenly appeared horrifyingly distorted. The explosion and fire immediately spread from the location where the two ships collided.

"What are you doing? How did the people on Earth get here? It's not scientific at all!"

On the Enbu people's Dragon Turtle battlecruiser, Lieutenant General Bega muttered to himself and subconsciously stood up from the commander's seat. He just felt that his whole body was in a panic. He wiped his forehead with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and managed to pull out a large bunch of dry and broken hair. He wanted to drink water for a moment.

But in fact, the constant temperature inside the ship is kept below ten degrees, and the humidity is above seventy-five percent, which is the most suitable environment for the survival of their cold-resistant race.

"And, in the final analysis, people on earth don't know how to use troops at all! How can there be such a way of fighting? Yes, who would use small boats to attack the main fleet?"

If such a line occurs in this scene, it will appear to be full of nonsensical black humor, but at this time, no one can express an opinion on the commander's stupidity.

After all, they witnessed the tragic scene of friendly forces being attacked and partner ships being hit at close range. It's like a person witnessing a tragic car accident at close range in which a car crashed, killed people, and exploded. Normal people would be confused on the spot.

...Well, professional soldiers should indeed be used to death. They are well trained and should have seen everything.

However, the Enbu soldiers present had to say that they had never seen such a situation before.

"Commander! Your Excellency, what should we do?" Someone finally asked this question tremblingly.

But then, the three lightning strike ships passed by the Dragon Turtle like hunting golden eagles, and dropped a total of nine anti-matter bombs.

Compared to the Dreadnought, this fast battle cruiser was much more fragile, and its armor was penetrated before it even had time to activate its shield. The thick body looked like a turtle with its shell knocked off. It struggled painfully for more than five minutes and then began to disintegrate. However, thankfully, the bridge was immediately blasted through the armor of the forward cabin by an anti-material bomb. Most of Enbu's senior officers, including Lieutenant General Bega, died from loss of pressure.

Of course, this also means that all the Enbu armies in the Blood Gate and West Tail systems have actually lost their command level.

However, Lieutenant General Bega should be grateful that he passed away very peacefully. Before he was killed by loss of pressure, Lieutenant General Ledamant of the Angmans was wailing in pain.

His battleship was hit by four torpedoes in a row. The huge impact made the bridge seem to be plunged into a magnitude 8 earthquake. The unprofessional behavior of the Angmans commander caused great danger. Without carrying any safety measures or wearing anti-Dutch clothing, he actually left his command position during the battle.

Then, the Angmans fleet commander was thrown out by the violent vibration. One leg and seven or eight bones were broken on the spot.

Loyal orderlies and guardsmen carried their master on a powered stretcher and rushed to the medical bay, only to be blocked by burning fires and continuous second explosions on the way.

The loyal orderlies and guards decisively threw away this burden and disappeared into the dust.

Lieutenant General Ledamant was unable to move or even call for help. He could only watch as the flames rushed to his body, igniting his hair and body.

No one knows how long he suffered in the fire. Anyway, this old-fashioned dreadnought of the Ammans lasted the longest, and was not completely sunk even in the end. This is probably because the Ammans seriously strengthened the protection of the battleship. However, he may have neglected the security configuration of the energy system and life support system when strengthening internal defense.

All in all, the internal fire lasted for a full ten hours inside the ship, burning it into a real inferno.

Of course, these are all things for later. Now, the chief flagship of the Cathays, the Blood Lion dreadnought, has become the next hunting target of the Tiger and Leopard Riders.

But it was only then that the defenders of the Blood Gate Fortress realized belatedly that they seemed to have been attacked by a sneak attack.

...There is no way. From the first blow to the present, the coalition forces have already had two Dreadnoughts and three battle cruisers in a state of destruction, and the remaining battleships are also being focused on fire. However, the real battle has only begun in less than 90 seconds. Seconds.
