Interstellar Super Empire

Chapter 172 The Counterattack Begins

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, where are we now?" After the successful space jump, the attitudes of the captains of the remaining five warships towards Zhong Yun changed drastically.

Due to the secrecy of this plan, the temporary combat department only told the captains that a secret mission was going to be carried out when they set off, but did not explain the content of the mission.

When they saw that their commander was actually just a boy under 20 years old, the captains of the other five warships really suspected that the Temporary War Department was extremely brain-twitching, otherwise how could they make such absurd decision.

Even in centralized imperial countries, it is unheard of to have a 20-year-old fleet commander.

Do you really treat war as a child's play?What are those bureaucrats thinking about?They all had the urge to go back and lift the heads of the bureaucrats of the Temporary War Department to see what was inside.

However, due to the nature of soldiers obeying orders, they finally suppressed their doubts.It's just that if the young man gave orders indiscriminately, they would not be stingy with the power in their hands.

In Davao, the fleet performing missions also has a method similar to the "temporary vote" of the Hongxian Federation to limit the power of the commander.

As a result, as soon as they set off, the extremely young commander passed them a route map, saying that they were sailing according to this route.

If it weren't for the very detailed markings on this star map, the five captains might object on the spot.The universe is full of unknown dangers, and you must be cautious when conducting space travel.

And the routes explored by countless people with their lives can guarantee the safety of space navigation to the greatest extent.

Only those explorers who hang their heads on their belts will have no problem running on unknown routes.Doing this during a war is undoubtedly making fun of the lives of all soldiers.

However, what Zhong Yun took out was a detailed star map, and it seemed that there was no big problem.They all thought that this star map was issued by the temporary war department.So there was no resistance.

It wasn't until 10 minutes before the space jump that they received the order to prepare for the space jump.The five captains were in an uproar immediately.

You know, they are all captains with decades of space navigation experience, and they can find as many space jump points in Davao with their eyes closed.How could there be any space jumping point in this place?

However, they didn't say anything. Following Zhong Yun's order, they began to order the ship's personnel to prepare.

The military law in Davao is very strict. They have been in the army for many years and will not be caught because of such trivial matters.Although there are a few people with the intention of watching a joke.

The main reason is that Zhong Yun is too young to win their trust.

In fact, it is not surprising that they have this idea. Even if this young man is a genius, at his age, he is at most in college.

Even if one is admitted to the top professional military academy after graduating from university, after leaving the military academy, he can only start as a cadet crew member.Even if you have a strong background, you don't have ten years of work, and you don't want to get to the rank of general.

The most typical example is Yang Bingchang's eldest son Yang Yunlong. It took him a total of nine years from a professional military academy to become a major general.He was just a destroyer captain.

A qualified captain requires knowledge and experience that a young man cannot possess.This will take more than ten years or even decades to accumulate.

How would they feel if they knew that there were only five people in the main control room of the "Mars" including Liu Yunqi.

After entering the range of the space jump point, several captains felt that he was talking nonsense. They had traveled through the space jump point countless times and were familiar with the shape of the space jump point.

The sight before his eyes was calm, without any abnormalities, and completely without the eye-like vortex that a space jump point has.

When they saw the "Mars" passing by, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space, and the entire "Mars" just disappeared out of thin air.

They had never seen such a strange situation, and they were stunned immediately.

After a while, they received a signal from the "Mars", saying that it had passed safely, allowing them to start jumping.

The five captains fell silent, and after a while, according to the order they were arranged, a battleship rushed over first, and a wave of ripples appeared in the space again, submerging that battleship.

After all the warships passed by, everyone cheered.Everyone is very clear about what it means to have one more space jump point in a country.

It was also from this time that they no longer underestimated the young commander.

"The coordinates here are XXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXXX." Zhong Yun reported the coordinates here, waiting for them to readjust the coordinates.

"This coordinate..." When some technicians who are very familiar with coordinates saw this coordinate, their hearts jumped wildly.Wait for the input into the main control light brain.Looking at the location shown on the star map, everyone was stunned.

Silence, the air in the main control rooms of the five battleships was silent.

Zhong Yun's high voice broke the calm, "Target, enemy's temporary base. Counterattack begins."

With his order, the clarion call for Davao's counterattack was officially sounded.

"Counterattack——" everyone in the control rooms of all the battleships repeated this sentence, and the high-pitched voice almost pierced through the outer wall of the spaceship and spread beyond the universe.

They have waited too long for this day.At last they set foot on this lost territory again.

Intruders, here we come.

After the Hongxian Federation took down the first resource star in Davao, it established a base there as a transit point for supplies.The Hongxian Federation spent a lot of effort building this base.Because there is a space jump point nearby.

In order to prevent the Davao Army from fighting out from this jumping point, they left a large number of troops here to stand ready.Of course, as long as the Davao Army's brains are not burned out, they will not choose to fight out from the jumping point.

It's like after they occupied this jumping point, they didn't jump from it to the hinterland of Davao.Because doing so is tantamount to suicide.These spatial jumping points are all small, and can only accommodate one warship to jump at a time.Also, you have to wait 10 minutes for every jump.

In these 10 minutes, the battleship that jumped over first had already been bombarded to the ground by the ready bombardment.

After that, every time they occupy a resource star, they build a small base, which not only serves as a transfer station, but also replenishes their own consumption from the resource star.

Zhong Yun's target is these small bases.Because the occupation time is still short, the defense established by the enemy is definitely not strong.

The people of the Hongxian Federation never expected that the Davao Army would suddenly descend from the sky and launch a surprise attack on them. By the time they came to their senses and wanted to fight back, it was already too late.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and this relatively large base was destroyed by the Davao Army, which was burning with vengeance. All Hongxian Federation soldiers were killed, leaving no one alive.They recovered the entire resource star and rescued a large number of captives.

These captives were originally from the resource star. Under the pressure of the Hongxian Federation soldiers, they worked intensively to supplement their consumption by exploiting the resources on the resource star.

For these rescued prisoners, Zhong Yun felt a little headache.Rationally speaking, he should leave these people alone and let them fend for themselves.

Their strength is insufficient. If they leave some warships stationed on this resource star, they will only disperse their strength and be defeated by the enemy one by one in the end.

But if they were really abandoned, Zhong Yun could imagine what would happen.

These "rescue teams" came to defend their homes and the country with the determination to die, and to rescue the people caught in the flames of war. The main members of the "rescue team" are not soldiers.Rather, they come from various forces, and they come with a lofty ideal.

If this ideal is shattered, what fighting power do they have?

After discussing with the other five captains, Zhong Yun finally made the decision to take these people with him.The total number of these people does not exceed [-], so it can still be squeezed.

After destroying most of the equipment on the resource star, they took away the supplies left by the Hongxian Federation and destroyed whatever they couldn't take away.Then he went to another enemy base.

For the next goal, they are still controversial. Some people think that they should turn around and attack the main force of the enemy as soon as possible, and attack the main force of Davao on both sides to annihilate the enemy.

However, according to Zhong Yun's original plan, he should go in the opposite direction and destroy the enemy's largest base.Without supplies, the main force of the enemy is not far from perishing.According to Xiao Ling's speculation, Davao's main force should last for a while.

In the end, Zhong Yun persuaded the others to go to the enemy's main base to kill them.The reason why the other five captains were persuaded was simple, they were completely shocked by the strength of the "Mars".With strength, words have weight.

Got a lot of useful intel on enemy computers to keep their plans going.

After destroying seven enemy bases in a row, Zhong Yun and the others finally found a big fish, and a group of huge supply ships sailed towards them.

"Mars" detected the opponent first, and Zhong Yun immediately notified the other five warships. Although the warships of the other five captains had not detected the enemy yet, they did not doubt the authenticity of this information.

"Mars" has conquered everyone with its powerful performance.They had experienced the detection capabilities of the "Mars".

"How big is the supply fleet?" A captain asked calmly.

"The opponent has a total of 57 spaceships, including 26 "Mars" three-quarter ton transport ships, [-] destroyers, and a "Wushan-class" mothership." Zhong Yun said.

The eyes of the five captains could not conceal their ecstasy, and they said in unison, "Please order."

Zhong Yunping suppressed his excitement for a while, then turned his head to look at the three companions beside him. From their slightly trembling bodies, it could be seen that they were as excited as himself.

"Give the order." Chen Wen said softly.

"Order." Zhang Xiao gritted his teeth tightly.

"Give the order." Tianhai's round face was more serious than ever.
