Earth Invasion

Chapter 463
The return fleet's raid on the NATO fleet came at the same time as the Storm Shadow, which Dongfang Hao had seized control of the battleship.Appeared directly behind the Ruby battleship of the Return Fleet Cyclers Association, which implemented the strategy of only eating meat and not gnawing bones.The various strong signal characteristics of this huge capital ship became an excellent cover for those ships returning to the fleet.

三艘744B级，7艘677级，10艘653H2级高速战舰在掠过北约大舰队的时候将整个舰队的战舰都轴转了90度，齐刷刷的对准了吉比尔·努库斯号主力舰——的护航舰队。

The first thing to do is to fight well, and the victory of the Violent Shadow has already been completely earned, and the rest is just to consider how to pick the soft persimmons instead of going head-to-head with others.

Around the Gebir Nukus, there is only a cruiser formation and several destroyers used as toilet paper to block guns.This hapless convoy came under the fire of the frontal Ruby and the cruiser formations around it, as well as the Assyrian return fleet, "Cape of Storms."

The criss-crossing optical network instantly engulfed this small battleship formation!
The three cruisers were quickly defeated in the face of this saturation attack. The 744B class is not as good as the Alpamayu class in terms of burst of firepower, but it is better in terms of sustained firepower.Under the pressure of the battleship Ruby, the three cruisers couldn't turn around and shoot at the three 744Bs. This purely beating situation made their deflection electric fields overloaded before they lasted long.

The shelling interval of the 744B was a little bit shorter, but it was just this little bit that the fate of the Alpamayu class was decided.The salvo launched by the return fleet first directly hit the middle part of the battleship that had lost the protection of the deflection electric field, causing penetrating injuries!

The three Alpamayu-class ships were almost broken into two pieces!The superconducting battery stack at the rear may have been quenched, and the chemical fuel prepared for the battleship in the hangar seems to have been detonated, and the battleship was instantly engulfed by the rapidly expanding ion fireball.

"It's too bad! If the keel is broken, it's not easy to repair!" On the King Alslon XI, Lavern said something distressed.

When the escort fleet was over, the Gibir Nukus was immediately in danger!With the support of the escort fleet, it can only barely compete with the Ruby. If the Storm Shadow is not there, the cruiser formation will sink, and the Ruby, which turned its muzzle, will start to tilt all its firepower towards it, making its deflection electric field continue to be in a hurry!
Woody Murphy is a very experienced and rigorous commander. When he found that the Assyrian return fleet appeared in the direction of Zenith, he knew that things were already bad.Unexpectedly, what happened to Ratcliffe was repeated on his own body.But unlike Lacliffe who always planned to get it back, his choice was to shrink the fleet immediately!Let the left and right wings of the entire large fleet start to move closer and order the fleet on the right wing to intercept and shoot the returning fleet at a super long distance!Although the hit rate is very bad, at least it interferes with the opponent's route, so that they can't easily copy the back of Gibir Nukus!
It can be said that Woody Murphy is still struggling at this time, and intends to restore some of the decline!
But when the battleship that was still emitting electric sparks, but could be recognized at a glance as the Violent Battleship joined the opponent's line of battle, and the surrounding battleships gave way to it. Finally, Woody Murphy couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Things are irreversible!

What can be done now is to quickly disengage the entire fleet from the opponent!

While lamenting that he should bear the responsibility of a failure, the old general swiftly commanded all the warships to start shrinking to the rear of the capital ship, and began to adjust the acceleration direction of the whole fleet, leaving in a clockwise direction!The NATO fleet occupies the outer ring, and it is easier to do so, while the space circle fleet will gradually distance itself from the NATO fleet due to the gravitational force of Feiru!

Under the cover of a series of nuclear bombs, the warships of the NATO Grand Fleet began to turn slightly, so that the direction of their bows and their own movement formed a certain angle, and began to leave the Feroux gravitational circle.

And the large fleet in the space circle also lost the ability and willingness to continue chasing them. They also began to gradually accelerate, and adjusted their course, and flew in the direction of Klein under the leadership of the Assyrian return fleet.There is a large amount of supplies hoarded by the two night-class ships of the returning fleet during this period of time, which can temporarily solve the urgent needs of the returning fleet and the large space circle fleet, and carry out emergency repairs on those seriously injured warships, and the personnel should be treated as much as possible.

This war, which lasted for almost a month and involved the entire space circle and almost half of NATO's main space combat forces, finally came to an end.

In this battle, NATO was undoubtedly the loser. The number of cruisers in the two fleets was reduced by half, a total of 9 Alpamayu-class ships were sunk, and the total number of destroyers and frigates lost more than one-third.In addition, dozens of single-seater combat boats and dozens of UFPs were sunk and destroyed. More than 2100 soldiers were killed, another 11 soldiers were injured, and [-] people were missing.Hundreds more are expected to be captured.

The biggest loss is of course the capture of the Storm Shadow.This capital ship, which has been serving as the flagship of the NATO expeditionary fleet, is now a spoil of war for the Assyrians. Leaving aside the direct losses, this news alone will cause an immeasurable blow to NATO's morale.

It is a great irony that the self-proclaimed strongest battleship was taken away by a group of primitive people.

And conversely, the space circle, which looks like a winner, is actually not having a good time.Although they completely drove the NATO fleet from the outer space of the Assyrian planet, their losses were too great.

The first is the loss of battleships. Collins' various tactical adventures made the space circle lose several cruisers less than NATO.But the destroyer and frigate lost only a lot more than NATO.Of course, like NATO, they also bear the loss of a capital ship.

If it hadn't been for the secret agreement signed with the Recycler Association in advance, Collins would have even taken the opportunity to snatch the semi-disabled capital ship from the Assyrians.

After all, the space circle is now behind NATO in the capital ship competition.The opponent's second batch of capital ships has already entered service, and it is estimated that the next batch will be coming soon.On the other hand, in the space circle, the construction progress of the deep space barrier ship "Horsehead Nebula" has been delayed again and again, and there are countless problems encountered in the first construction of this super giant.

To make matters worse, the Horsehead Nebula is too big, and there is no way to quickly deploy it between the two galaxies through an accelerator.

But that's not a problem.The space circle has full confidence in the power of the "Horsehead Nebula" barrier ship.Even if it can't be deployed quickly, as long as it is completed, the remaining five capital ships will be mobile forces, and they can all be drawn to the Assyrian planet.At that time, NATO's advantage in the number of capital ships will be a joke.

The barrier battleship was originally designed to be able to compete with more than two star destroyers.According to the estimates of the people in the decision-making department, unless the SCO directly calls back the gyratory, no one will be able to destroy the barrier ship in a short time.But the top 13 people in the space circle also think that they or their successors will not be foolish to annoy the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and let them dispatch an industrial satellite from 1 AU to attack themselves.It is better to worry about the end of the world if the Shanghai Cooperation Organization can mobilize gyrators and disrupt their own production and life.

Faced with this thing, how many capital ships does NATO need to balance?three?five?Or all seven remaining?

As for whether NATO will build its own barrier ship, this kind of warship with asteroids as its carrier needs to be touched.It is not easy to come across an asteroid with a suitable size and a relatively solid internal structure, and it is even more uncertain whether SCO will be able to cut it open for you after you find it.

So the space circle is not worried at all that NATO will also come up with a barrier warship to fight against Taiwan.

But what the space circle is worried about now is not this at all, but the strategic posture!
In this war, if you can monopolize the advantage of the synchronous orbit of the Assyrian planet, then it is not unacceptable to lose a capital ship and half of the squadron.But the problem is that just after the tiger was driven away, two more wolves came, one of which was local.

Even when the two sides need to cooperate to fight against NATO, Collins still does not forget to use some small means to trick the Assyrians who returned to the fleet, not to mention the time when NATO has retreated and the two sides have become rivals again .

The Assyrians are undoubtedly the biggest winners in this battle.

From the beginning, I counted my belongings with my fingers, and participated in this steel meat grinder with an attitude of putting my life on the line.At first, the Assyrians thought that they were facing a big battle that would cause them to be injured, if not completely wiped out.But driven by the impermanent hand of fate, the whole battle slipped faster and faster in a strange direction.In the end, it turned out that only Glide [-] was injured when returning to the fleet, but none of the other warships were damaged, and only some single-seat combat boats, UFPs and marines were lost.

Compared to directly capturing a battleship, these losses are nothing short of a joke!
For this reason, Roy directly slapped himself several times on the left and right sides of the bridge, making his face swell like an apple.

Because she couldn't believe it, it turned out to be true.

Looking back and thinking about it, the direction of this battle was completely led into the ditch by Glide No. [-].

If it wasn't for Dongfang Hao, they went out to ambush in a panic, if it wasn't for Dongfang Hao who used the X99 because he wanted to solve the battle in a short time, if it wasn't for Dongfang Hao's order in advance for the return fleet to sneak into the inner ring from the ambush, if it wasn't for the return fleet because they wanted to With the future construction and long-term exploration of the inner ring...

If one of these coincidences is not true, then the result of this battle is likely to be different.

But these are not important anymore. What is important is that the Assyrians now have a capital ship and a complete escort fleet.In contrast, the space power of NATO and the space circle has been greatly weakened.

The Assyrians, a nation still struggling on the ground, have somehow become a force that cannot be ignored in space.
