Earth Invasion

Chapter 450 Big War! (8)
When this group of destroyers rushed down from the north pole of the celestial sphere and approached a distance of 6000 kilometers, their own destroyer fleet was still more than 8000 kilometers away.Although Racliffe was very angry, he had to honestly admit that he needed to retreat.If it's just the cruiser fleets of both sides, then he is confident that he will completely dominate the entire battlefield posture in the next period of time, and even sink one of the opponent's capital ships!

However, I don't have time now.Just as I imagined, the originally inconspicuous destroyer became the final judge of the battlefield.Ironically, this judge was not the hand he had prepared at the beginning, but a group of battleships saved by the opponent immediately.

"All shrink the formation! Storm Shadow, Doom is the vanguard! The whole fleet has the highest battle speed, penetrate the opponent's formation and join the destroyer fleet!" Racliffe gave this order through gritted teeth!The NATO expeditionary fleet sank three cruisers in this melee. If you count the "Dunkirk" that was sunk by the warship of the Circulator Association because of disobedience at the beginning, the entire NATO expeditionary fleet Lost 9 of her 4 cruisers.And the first guerrilla fleet lost 30.00%, plus those destroyers and frigates that were sunk in lunar orbit, the majestic NATO expeditionary fleet has 40.00% of its combat power turned into fly ash except for the capital ship intact.

But judging from the results of the battle, they are not really at a disadvantage.

The three cruisers "Divine Comedy", "The Count of Monte Cristo", and "King Lear" were destroyed, sending 50.00% of the opponent's destroyer fleet to hell. More importantly, the opponent's flagship "Flare" is now Can only be used as a turtle.

Just judging from the number of battleship losses, the NATO fleet has actually suffered a loss, but Racliffe doesn't think so.Because in his view, this battle is only a pause, not an end.The two parties simply did not have the time and opportunity to return to the shipyard for overhaul.In this case, in the next big battle, even if the space circle is all out, and you send two more battleships out of the remaining battleships in your hands, you will eventually form a battle line composed of battleships with a score of 3:4. disadvantage.

The battle line of the capital ship is not like the battle line of this kind of cruiser. Without a heavy particle melta cannon, Racliffe didn't realize that the opponent had a chance to take advantage of this kind of battle.

Uhtred Nakajima also thought of this section, so he yelled in the command link when the opponent shrank and prepared to attack!
"Resolutely stop them and solve the main force of the NATO fleet here..."

"No!" But Collins stopped him, "All the battleships spread out to the two wings, try to use side fire to kill the opponent, but don't force it. After the wrong car, all jump towards the North Pole, and we will join the northern wing fleet!"

"But Commander!" Uhtred Nakajima looked at his commander in disbelief. This lunatic just ignored his own life and used the Flare as a bumper boat. What's going on now?
"It's enough for now. After all, we have one less heavy particle melta cannon than the opponent. If we forcibly intercept it, the opponent will fight with their lives, and the loss outweighs the gain."

"But Commander, we now have a good opportunity to defeat the opponent's main force! If we let them go, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for us to regroup the battle line?!"

"No, the number of cruisers on the other side has fallen below the critical point, and it is no longer possible to form two complete formations. Although our King Lear does not have a heavy particle cannon, it has all the electromagnetic cannons. Then organize the battle line If not, they will be the ones to suffer. We just need to hang them from afar."

"But!" Rear Admiral Nakajima thought for a while, "What if the other side has a capital ship for reinforcements!"

"If the opponent is really a battleship for reinforcements, do you think we are trying our best to destroy the opponent's main force now, and then we are completely disabled, can we still fight against the opponent's follow-up battleship? Use your brain." Collins said to Ute Red Nakajima's habit of being a crow when he has nothing to do is very disapproving.

"Also, if we lose two or more battleships than the other side on the battlefield, the 13-man regiment can just resign collectively!"

Rear Admiral Nakajima showed a strange look: "In order to protect our homeland in L5, D.S.A should not be able to deploy capital ships for expedition. But we don't know whether NATO has been in the past two years. idle."

Collins didn't speak, but showed a weird smile, and then lost interest in speaking.

Seeing this expression on his face, Nakajima knew that His Excellency didn't want to talk anymore, so he could only sigh.

"Your Excellency, you should fix it on the seat. We and those from NATO have entered Feiru's huge gravitational circle, and we are about to crash into the gravel belt."

"Ah, I forgot. Then issue the anti-shock order for all crew members, and entrust the full authority of the battleship control to the battleship control personality. After entering the gravel zone, everyone shuts down and activates optical camouflage! Where is our combat preset ship?"

"Report! Except for one of the battle pre-positioned ships that was slightly injured, all six ships are hidden in the direction of the North Pole zenith, and are following the Northern Fleet to approach us!"

"ACR-29 led ACR-30 to jump towards the zenith, and escorted the combat pre-ship ship! By the way, let the pre-combat ship carry out emergency repairs for 'King Lear'! The first time the large fleet entered the gravel belt, methane Ice or solid water mining work, we must restore our working medium water and refrigerant to about 80.00% before the second battle!"

"understand!"

Ratcliffe found it inconceivable that Collins released himself so easily.Under the power of the heavy particle melta cannons of the Storm Shadow and Doom, the warships in the space circle dodge to the sides like ants that have passed through the water!The Flare, which had been on the Pig Rabbit, stopped rampaging, but jumped straight up, and began to recover its own single-seater combat boat and UFP.He originally thought that Collins would die with him.

Not only that, after the opponent let go of his main fleet, he launched a ferocious attack from the two wings, which caused some damage to the battleship on his side, but it was not serious, and it could be repaired by the battle preset ship. kind of.But as soon as he showed his intention to fight seriously, the opponent immediately shrank.

This made Ratcliffe feel that what he met was not the lunatic Collintz just now, but a futures merchant of the Grandet style.

But he still feels a little relieved, normal people can't compare with lunatics, can't they?
"Recover the combat boats and UFPs, release the repair boats and engineering robots of all combat preset ships, and give emergency repairs to all the battleships! Where's the logistics support officer!?"

"I'm here! Sir!" On the big screen of the Storm Shadow, the commander of the pre-combat ship unit appeared.

"Do you still have the coordinates of the comet that was blown up just now?"

"Still following you."

"That's good! Separate two combat pre-ships, first collect some solid methane and ice, and make a temporary replenishment!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Information Control Officer!"

"I'm here! Sir!"

"Continuously track the opponent's large fleet! Judge the opponent's whereabouts!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ratcliffe finally breathed a sigh of relief after ordering all of this: "The entire fleet is lifted from the red state! All compartments of the battleship are filled with oxygen!"

The entire bridge seems to be filled with the sound of exhalation, although there is no air in the bridge as a medium to transmit the sound.

The oxygen concentration of the battleship rose steadily, and when the red light turned into a breathable green sign, Ratcliffe took off his helmet and told the captain of the Storm Shadow to continue commanding, he turned and left the bridge.

He's going to see those UFPs and combat boats who are desperate to assault.

The battleship and UFP assault just now was short, but the losses were heavy.To make matters worse, there were very few victories on both sides.Whether it is the gargoyles or the flying saucers, not a single battleship has been recorded.

This is a bit too sad for the loss that every squadron failed to come back with all their tails.

After all, combat ships and UFPs target destroyers or frigates, and it is too reluctant to let them attack cruisers.

The battleship's catapult hatch was open, and the flame shield had been lowered.Those combat boats that had reduced their speed to the same speed as the battleship adjusted their posture so that their tails were backwards, and slowly docked in the hatch.Robotic arms tow the still intact battleships back to their hangars.And those battleships that have been damaged and not looking good must be towed back by the UFP that is still intact.

But fortunately, his destroyer fleet finally caught up and joined.The flexible frigates immediately began to salvage the ship full-time.

A broken single-seater combat boat was towed up, and engineering robots and damage control maintenance personnel in PA surrounded them like hardworking worker bees.Some drivers couldn't get out by themselves, so they had to disassemble the spherical cockpit and take the driver out of it.The medical soldiers quickly buckled up the oxygen, and then went down with a cardiotonic shot first.Then the ambulance robot carrying the compressed air tank sent the injured and dying drivers to the medical cabin.

As for the pilots who have been sacrificed, the medical soldiers had to collect their relics and bones, and then hand over the damaged combat boats to the engineers.Those that can be repaired are repaired, and those that cannot be repaired have to be dismantled into parts.

The same is true for UFP troops.They helped each other, bypassed the wreckage of the battleship, saluted the lives lost in the flames of war, and then silently returned to their mothership.

What a frantic fight.

Ratcliffe saluted silently in the landing tower, and then looked at the huge figure of Planet Feiru.

The battle will still continue.And the stage is already in place.
