Chapter 226 Chapter 6 Crossfire
The Datang army did exactly as Admiral Leopard had guessed, they gave up the defense of a large area of the star field and gathered the scattered troops together.
They also realized that if they were one-on-one, their side would definitely win, but because the number of opponents was too large, the high-performance warships on their side could not show their advantages, so they had to abandon the local garrison and concentrate their forces to fight against the enemy.This will not only avoid being broken by the enemy one by one, but also counterattack the enemy.
As for whether those abandoned places will be bullied by the enemy, that is only resigned to fate. Anyway, if the troops are not transferred, they will not be able to resist the enemy's invasion, and they will lose both people and land.
While looking at the information on the screen, the major general issued a mobilization order: "The newly formed 9th to 18th Fleets will go to Area A to gather, the 8th to 20th Fleets will join the 1st Fleet, and the newly formed 50th to 1st Fleets will join forces. The Hundred Fleet will gather at Area C, and to save face, I will transfer 300,000 supply transport ships to Area A."
"Damn it! The newly formed 78th Fleet, what are you doing? Why are you procrastinating? Hurry up and show me some face. I will assemble the troops and go to the destination! Order the commanders of each district to organize the command while reorganizing the troops. I don't want to go to war. Fleets attack individually!
"Ask about candidates? Damn! I've already delegated the power of appointment to them, let them choose by themselves, and hand in the list in an hour!"
And a colonel in charge of logistics busyly asked the following: "Are the supply points in areas A, B, and C ready? Not yet? Order them to hurry up, and the transportation will not be so convenient after the war! Complete the quantitative supply before the battle!
"Is the battleship maintenance line ready? Are there enough maintenance personnel? Very good. Immediately transport it to the theater to set up a maintenance station. As long as our battleship does not explode on the spot, we must continue to fight and let the workers in the maintenance station prepare for the rotation system. Otherwise, they will not be able to withstand it.
"Are the maintenance parts for robot soldiers and battleships ready? No! What are you doing to eat? Get them ready in the shortest possible time, or I'll kill you!"
"How are the preparations for the space hospital and the rest ship? Very good, our soldiers who have fought hard will be resurrected and rest here, you must do it properly!"
"What is the production rate of the shipyard? How many warships are there in stock? Well, order them to increase production. I don't want to have enough people but no warships to pilot!"
Unlike their place where people come and go and are noisy, Xingling is completely silent here, and Xingling is stuffed into the game cabin. Fortunately, he is not playing games, but borrowing the function of the game cabin to enter the central network. On the road, Datang is deploying areas that are not occupied by the enemy. It seems to be nothing, but the workload of Xingling is so huge that it can cause the central computer to crash on the spot.
With the advance of the Dark Night Legion, Datang's troop deployment and material allocation are slowly coming to an end. When everything is ready, the Datang fighters can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, pick up food and refreshment drinks and drink.
They all knew that when the war broke out, they would work even harder, and now they could rest if they could, because no one knew whether they would still have a chance to enjoy the rest after the war.
Major General Datang looked at the three enemy troops on the screen, and slowly approached the three battlefields he had set up. The total strength of the Datang Army in these three battlefields reached tens of millions. There, 4 million troops were deployed, while the B area and C area each had 3 million troops.
Among them, there is also a mobile force of one million, ready to invest wherever danger or hope of victory arises.
Behind these three war zones, there is a huge logistics regiment, and the front row is countless small speedboats. These speedboats are automatic spaceships, and they are ambulance ships used to search for soldiers who are lucky enough to be thrown out of the battleship before the battleship explodes.
The middle row is a field hospital refitted from tens of thousands of transport ships, but in the current space war, this kind of field hospital is just a facility for human use, because in space wars, soldiers are either intact or become cosmic dust, only the very lucky ones Only people survive the injury after being attacked.
After excluding the densely packed transport ships, there are space maintenance stations that have been refitted from hundreds of transport ships. There are at least a thousand of these maintenance stations, which can repair tens of thousands of warships at the same time.
This is a magic weapon for victory. With this repair station, as long as the battleship does not explode on the spot or its vitals are destroyed, it can be repaired in a very short time and put back into the battlefield.
Think about it, you have already beaten that battleship to the point of sinking, and you can win if you work harder, but at a critical moment, it ran back to repair it under the repulsion of its friendly ships, and then ran back to join the battle in a short time, and And destroy you who have been injured, so you must feel very depressed, right?
Although the invading Dark Night Army could not obtain detailed information about the Datang Army, where the Datang Army assembled and how many there were, they would surely be obtained by the scouting boats that spread out like ants.
Seeing the report from the reconnaissance boat, Admiral Leopard smiled smugly, because the deployment of the Datang Army was as he predicted. The Datang Army put the main force in front of his own army, and the number was about three million.
According to the intelligence of the other two armies, they each have about 2 million troops in front of them. Although it is 1 million more than the 6 million troops that I predicted, this error is normal. Datang is so big. In the country, it is still possible to produce one million warships with temporary production and inventory.
"Okay, since we already know the decisive battle point between the enemy army and our army, then move forward carefully, remember not to attack desperately, as long as we maintain the attack strength, we can wait until the other two armies have wiped out the main force of Datang before we come to besiege The main force of the Tang Dynasty here." Admiral Leopard ordered.
His subordinates all nodded in understanding. The three admirals are almost equivalent to warlords, because their troops are always with them. In the long run, they will inevitably have the idea of preserving their strength.
Almost the three admirals entered the battlefield at the same time, but their attack strength was different.
The one with the least attack power is not Admiral Tiger, who is supposed to support the friendly army in the middle, but Admiral Leopard, who faces the largest number of enemy troops.
And the one with the strongest attack power was Admiral Wolf. As soon as she saw the enemy army entering the attack range, she ordered to charge while shooting.
The arrogant wolf admiral completely lost her cautious wolf-like style, leaving only the habit of stalking, and the leopard admiral also lost her leopard-like quick attack style and became extremely cautious. As for the tiger admiral Bian was even more outrageous, the momentum of the tiger descending the mountain was not shown at all, but it was watching like a fox.
Under their wrong style, Admiral Wolf was the first to be hit. The troops she pressed up across the board were blocked by a mere two million enemy troops.
"What's going on? Why is it stagnant?"
The wolf admiral saw that the advancement of his own front on the screen had all stopped, and some areas even retreated, so he couldn't help asking immediately.
"Admiral, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, and the performance of the warships is high. After withstanding the initial losses, they have stood firm. Also, our intelligence is wrong. The number of enemy troops is not two million, but About three million." The adjutant immediately reported.
"Three million? Doesn't include those transport ships awarded by the enemy?"
Admiral Wolf was a little puzzled, his scout boat shouldn't make such outrageous mistakes, right?A full one million ships are missing.
"It is because of those transport ships that our scout boats miscalculated the enemy's strength. About one million warships hid beside the transport ships. These warships did not leave the transport ships until the war broke out," the adjutant explained.
For a scout boat that can only rely on electronic telescopes to observe and calculate, there is no way to make such mistakes.
Why can only electronic telescopes be used?The Tang warships all have the stealth function, and the Dark Night Empire has no radar that can detect this kind of stealth function.
Admiral Wolf frowned. Compared with just now, the strength of this army is a full third more. If it is 2 million, I can barely break through them, but with 3 million, I can only fight against them. They confronted each other, and there was nothing they could do about it, because the performance of Datang's warships was good.
It does not mean that good performance means victory, but if you think about the battle between wooden ships and iron ships in ancient times, you will know how much the performance of the warship has a great impact on the outcome of the battlefield. Fortunately, there are not many enemy troops, otherwise I would have retreated a long time ago. up.
"Continue to maintain a strong attack, report the situation to the two admirals, let them pay attention to the real strength of the enemy, and ask Admiral Tiger to send 200 fleets to support." Admiral Wolf ordered.
According to previous intelligence, among the three battlefields, the enemy forces in this one should be the best solution, because this is Datang's newly occupied territory, and my fleet has already rushed up, and many warships have entered the battle of meat hunting , It is better to strengthen the troops on our side, concentrate on the advantages and destroy the enemies here.
"Captain, the damage rate of this ship has reached 70%!" On a warship in Datang that was engaged in a fierce firefight with the enemy, the damage control officer shouted to the captain who was desperately shouting to fire.
"What?" The captain looked at the situation report on the screen suspiciously, saw that it had reached 75% in just a short while, and immediately shouted in shock: "Send a maintenance signal, Cannon fire cover, retreat!"
Regarding the Datang battleship that sent out the maintenance signal, there was nothing special about it on the outside, but on all the radars of the Datang ship, it could be seen that this ship was distinguished by green for its own side and orange for the enemy's red.The Datang battleship near this battleship immediately stepped forward to block the attack and began to cover its retreat.
Among the warships in the rear that had not yet entered the battlefield, a warship rushed into the battlefield immediately, maintaining the attack density of the battlefield, and it did not decrease because of the retreat of a warship.
After the retreating battleship got out of the enemy's range, it immediately turned around, and then ran to the rear in a hurry. Under the command of the rear personnel, it entered a maintenance port of a maintenance point.
The hatch of the battleship was opened, and the officers and soldiers were pulled to the rest ship moored nearby, which was rebuilt as a transport, while the staff of the maintenance station were busy repairing the battleship.
This battleship is just about to be repaired, and the left side of it is a battleship under maintenance, and the right side is a battleship that has been repaired. The resprayed battleship is just like a new one.
The repaired warship was towed away from the maintenance point and placed on the landing platform beside the maintenance point. A transport ship immediately left the team to replenish the warship with supplies.
All of this seems so orderly, as fast and convenient as assembly line production.
After entering the rest ship, the officers and soldiers started to brag and fart with other members of the warship resting on the ship after eating and drinking; this one said how many battleships he had killed, and the other said how many enemies he had killed.
While they were chatting, the rest ship's horn sounded: "Attention officers and soldiers of XX fleet XX battleship, your battleship has been repaired, please carry out boarding operations at XX landing platform."
The officers and soldiers belonging to that battleship immediately ran out amidst the blessings of their comrades.
The rested officers and soldiers entered the repair fleet with warships that could not be seen to have participated in the nodding at all. These warships will be reorganized, their numbers will be changed, and the depleted troops will be replenished.
They can't go to the battlefield for the time being, and can only wait here slowly until they receive an order to replace the destroyed or retreated warships.
The lucky ones who were rescued by the unmanned search and rescue boat under fire will stay in the hospital for treatment. The physical treatment is very convenient, but the trouble is the psychological treatment. Major or minor psychological harm.
As for robots that are not human, just help them repair their bodies.
These nominally wounded soldiers, even if they are healed, cannot return to the warship immediately. They will either become a reserve to supplement the depleted soldiers of other warships, or they will not be able to own their own warships until the shipyard produces new warships.
These systems, not to mention keeping the number of warships that the Datang Army participated in the front line at the same time, and not to mention how much the death rate can be reduced by this way, just allowing all the troops to participate in the training of the flames of war is enough to make Datang's military department pay attention to this The system is very satisfactory.
Of course, the officers of the Dark Night Army knew about this system of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they didn't, after watching the actions of the Tang Army for a long time, they would understand what was going on.
Regarding this point, they could only curse the Datang Army while envious. The most important thing on their side was to carry out some small repairs on the battleship. How could Datang carry out comprehensive repairs on the entire battleship like this.
But they also knew that they couldn't envy them, who said that their country didn't have such powerful logistics facilities, and those facilities in Datang were equivalent to moving the arsenal to the battlefield.
Of course, this is also an advantage that only local warfare has. Who would take the arsenal with them when attacking other countries?Dragging those facilities, don't even think about checking the speed of attack. If someone ambushes and destroys the arsenal, then I really don't know where to cry. Is the battleship maintenance line so cheap?
As for the battlefield rescue of combatants?Don't think about it, there is no emptiness and no ability.
After being notified, Admiral Tiger and Admiral Leopard carefully investigated the number of enemy troops, and found that there was indeed a discrepancy, but the discrepancy was not large. The investigation result of Admiral Tiger was about 2.4 million, which was 400,000 more.Admiral Leopard's side is about 3.5 million, which is 500,000 more.
There is no way, the Datang Army did not all participate in the battle, and the information is not very detailed.
After getting the information, the two admirals didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just a few hundred thousand more troops, nothing special.
Admiral Tiger saw that he was in a state of confrontation here, because the terrain restrictions made it impossible for large troops to move, coupled with his own intentions, so he did not enter a state of deadly battle.
Although Admiral Leopard's side is the main battlefield and the terrain is wide, both sides are very restrained and have no plans to win or lose. It can be said that they have not yet entered a state of deadly battle.
Although Admiral Leopard's side is the main battlefield and the terrain is wide, both sides are very restrained and have no plans to make a decision. It can be said that the battle has not really started yet, and they are in the same state of fire as their side.
It seems that the other party wants to hold back his three-way army, and prepares to wait for the Datang Expeditionary Army to come back and make a desperate counterattack.
Thinking that these tiger admirals very much agree with the wolf admiral's idea, first eliminate one enemy army so that they can concentrate their forces to destroy other enemy troops, so they agreed to send two million troops to support them.
The Datang Army is not aware of the decision made by the commander of the Dark Night Army, but the mobilization of troops of the Dark Night Army cannot be hidden from the Datang Army. This is the advantage of local operations.
The invaders didn't know where the guards had placed their detectors, and there was nothing the guards could do if they found the intruder's body. However, invaders with superior forces generally didn't care much about such things.
At the headquarters of the Datang Army, the major general saw that the enemy army dispatched 2 million troops in the middle, and by looking at the direction of movement, he knew that they were headed for area C.
The major general and the staff said with a smile: "Although it is a little different from our prediction that they will concentrate their forces to attack area A, the result is the same, they are all concentrated superior forces to solve a war zone."
"Yeah, it's a bit different, but it's still the same. Give orders to the troops?" The staff officer who also held the rank of major general laughed.
The major general nodded and said, "Well, order A to send 2 million troops to C, order B to send 1 million troops to C, and order them to send an equal number of camouflage troops to prevent the enemy from discovering the change in troop strength.
"Where's the mobile unit? They send a call for battle every few minutes." The staff officer asked.
"Continue to stand by. We can't predict what decision the enemy troops in Area A and Area B will make after discovering the situation in Area C. We still have to keep a force in hand, just in case." The major general's words were received Approved by the Chief of Staff.
Admiral Tiger and Admiral Leopard, who were in a state of confrontation with the Datang Army, did not notice the mobilization of the Datang Army at all. How many battleships have left here!
Not to mention the wolf admiral, the Tang warship will retreat when its hull is worn out to a certain extent, and the same number of warships will be sent to join the battle later. In this battlefield, several warships are destroyed every second on both sides, and dozens of warships retreat. For maintenance, the Datang Army's rear began to fight, and the battleships and transport ships came and went in an endless stream. How can we know how many troops the opponent has transferred!
Those warships that were transferred out of the range of the enemy's radar immediately made a space jump, jumped directly to the rear of the destination, and then entered the rear of the battlefield with the transport ships in batches.
The commander of Datang Area C saw that the troops assigned to him had already arrived, and now his area had nearly six million troops, while the other party had suffered a series of losses, even if they had replenished two million troops, it would still be no more than two million troops. Thousands of troops, without a foreign language, the victory will be their own.
He smiled slightly and ordered: "Temporarily maintain the attack strength, but return one to save face and I will take two."
The Tang army who received the order immediately understood that a decisive battle was about to take place, and they all became excited.
As for Admiral Wolf, who was replenished with 2 million troops, he didn't even notice that one of the Datang Army was evacuated, and two ships were added in the rear. There are tens of thousands of ships when they retreat, and tens of thousands of ships when they go up. Who knows that there is a difference in the number between one advance and one retreat?
Lang Tizheng shouted vigorously: "Brothers, we have added two million troops, and the glory and victory are now at this moment. I will attack from all fronts to save face!"
Knowing that they had one-fifth more troops, the officers and soldiers of the Night Army immediately cheered and rushed forward. From their point of view, their side had 12 million warships, while the enemy army only had 3 million warships. It can definitely crush the enemy army to death, and no longer have to watch the enemy army get injured to a certain extent in depression, just rectify the order and retreat to the rear to recuperate.
How dare you send only a little force to stop us?This time, we must directly blow up the enemy troops on the front line, and see where they can retreat to repair!
Sensing that the enemy was attacking from all fronts, the commander of Area C smiled again, raised his hand and shouted violently: "The whole army assaults!"
Although it is retreating from one ship to two ships, if the strength is still the same as before, the alternate fleet will not have to wait long, but now that the strength is doubled, the waiting time for repairs is still the same as before, making people wait until depressed. '
Especially the battleships transferred from other districts, which originally belonged to the repair fleet in other districts, immediately rushed towards the purity like a bull in heat.
The electronic binoculars of the Dark Night Army were overwhelmed immediately, and the numbers on the screen showed that the enemy's numbers went straight to the account like crazy, and finally stopped at the number that stunned Admiral Wolf and other officers: more than 5.87 million .
"Damn the investigation team, didn't you say there are only about two million people? What's going on now? The enemy army here has nearly six million troops!" Admiral Wolf completely lost the restraint that women should have, and jumped up and cursed. .
"Admiral, what should we do now? Do we need to retreat?" the adjutant asked cautiously to Admiral Wolf.
As expected of being the commander of an elite unit, Admiral Wolf Ambitions quickly recovered: "No, I can't retreat, order the troops to fight me hard."
"Ah? But our tens of thousands of troops can't defeat Datang's six million troops, and now the information is seriously wrong. The number of enemy troops between Admiral Tiger and Admiral Leopard may also be inconsistent." The adjutant buckled anxiously Chen said.
"That's right, the number of enemy troops in their two locations definitely doesn't match. At the beginning we got the information that the remaining troops of the Tang Dynasty were only about 6 million. Even if there was an error in the information, the error could not be doubled. Tang’s left-behind troops numbered in the tens of millions.”
Hearing Admiral Wolf's words, all the officers nodded in agreement. They still believed in the capabilities of the Intelligence Department of the Dark Night Empire.
"So now we have six million confirmed enemy troops on our side. It can be said that the combined enemy troops in the other two places are at most between four million and five million. There should be more on the capital star side. It's around 2 million to 3.5 million."
"As for Admiral Tiger, there are only 1.5 million to 2.5 million figures, which is consistent with the results of the re-investigation by the two admirals."
"Of course, it's not ruled out that the enemy troops in these two places have hidden troops like this one, but they will definitely not be many, because their main force is concentrated to destroy our road. If their forces are strong, they will definitely be on both sides at the same time. Offensive, not like now, only we have a violent attack here, and the other two are just shooting attacks."
"So as long as Admiral Tiger destroys the enemies on his side, and then rushes over to destroy the enemies on our side, the victory still belongs to us."
Admiral Wolf said vigorously: "So now we have to hold on, as long as Admiral Tiger arrives, victory will be ours!"
"Yes!" The officers and soldiers became excited again, and went to do their work one after another.
Admiral Tiger and Admiral Leopard who were notified were taken aback, and they carefully investigated the situation of the enemy army on the opposite side. The numbers this time were actually inaccurate with the numbers obtained last time, but taking the average and matching Admiral Wolf's guess, Tiger The admiral should have between 1.5 million and 2 million enemies, while the leopard admiral should have 2.5 million to 3 million enemies. "
With this psychological price, Admiral Tiger is going to use 8 million troops to compete with the enemy in front. With a 4 to 1 numerical advantage, even if the loss is 1 to 1, he will still have 6 million troops left after the war. It is enough to cooperate with Admiral Wolf's 12 million to kill the 6 million enemy troops.
And Admiral Leopard still kept shooting. He wasn't so stupid. Even if the opponent only had two million, he wasn't going to take it down by himself.
What place is the other party guarding?That is the capital star of Datang!
What kind of fleet is the fleet guarding the capital star?It is definitely the most elite unit in the entire army. It is impossible for the attrition rate to be 1:1 here. I should wait for the other two admirals to destroy the enemy army, and then kill the enemy army in front of me. Anyway, we are shooting at each other now. The opponent can't cause any major harm to himself.
So the two admirals acted according to their own ideas. Admiral Tiger began to violently attack the enemy on the opposite side, but limited by the terrain of B area, no matter how violent it was, it could not cause major damage to the Datang army. Army, took the time to block Admiral Tiger's attack.
As for Admiral Leopard, needless to say, they were still shooting at each other.
Seeing the opponent's actions like this, the major general of the Datang Military Headquarters couldn't help laughing, and the staff officer beside him asked, "Where are the mobile troops sent?"
The major general said directly without even thinking about it: "Send to area C, concentrate superior forces and destroy that group of enemy troops!"
The staff officer who read the information knew that there was nothing wrong with Area A and Area B, and agreed with the major general's order very much.After the order was conveyed to the mobile force, the 1 million elite soldiers who had been trapped for a long time immediately rushed to Area C cheering.
Commanding the battle commander in Area C, he has already seen that he is about to win, but he is just a little bit short of strength, and cannot destroy the enemy's formation. There is a feeling of joy falling from the sky, and immediately put the one million reserve power into the most important place.
The wolf admiral, who had been struggling to support as soon as the ether, was attacked by the new force of the Datang Army and immediately collapsed.
At this moment, facing Datang with a total of 7 million troops, the superiority of troops no longer exists, and many important positions are occupied by the Datang army. Admiral Wolf, whose formation has collapsed, has no choice but to order a retreat.
The unwilling Admiral Wolf did not directly withdraw back to the Dark Night Empire. Instead, he led the troops towards Admiral Tiger. While building up the team, she sent out notifications. She did not believe that the three admirals gathered nearly 30 million troops and would not be able to destroy them. The Tang Dynasty had tens of thousands of troops.
