Chapter 673: Firefight
Ivan clenched his fists and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Ready!" Ivan suddenly stood up straight when he heard the old and rough voice of Huakovsky.
The old man, who looked like he would fall asleep at any moment, sat calmly in front of the command desk. His face was illuminated by the virtual light screen, and the wrinkles on his face had become so loose that they were about to droop, but his eyes were still clear.
"Have you read the battle plan?" Huakovsky's dry fingers danced on the light screen, occasionally asking the commanders.
"Reply to the General, I have seen it."
"Are you confident?" Huakovsky asked.
Silence...
They recalled the experiences of the two tribes on the Star Network and compared them with the war two hundred years ago. They found that the current technological level of the Galactic Empire was only comparable to that of the Star Alliance a hundred years ago.
Don't they develop?
Impossible! A nation that relies on plundering will only develop faster in military terms.
They don't want to admit that there is a clear gap between the enemy and us.
Hua Kelevki stopped and looked over at them. "We've conducted countless simulations of this battle, all based on the military capabilities of Alpha and the Federation."
"Remember the Qingtong Castle mock battle?"
Ivan nodded. It was a battle place where the Blues had an absolute advantage and was called the most unfair by everyone.
Hua Kelevki asked, "In the Qingtong Fort mock battle, is the Blue Army sure to win?"
The officers looked back at him with serious eyes.
Hua Kelevki shook his head: "No, after all our efforts over the years, it's becoming increasingly difficult for the Blues to win, which means we're also making progress!"
"So, young man, take courage!"
Hua Kelevki smiled slightly, but words that shocked them came out one after another from his dry lips.
The backbone, this old man, in an instant, became the backbone of everyone.
Hua Kelevki continued, "Lure the enemy deep into our territory, and use our strengths and weaknesses to counteract each other. Their greatest weakness is their lack of manpower and their underestimation of the enemy."
"Keep an eye on the jump point and ambush them at the first opportunity. This is our only chance to bite his neck!"
"I'll teach you a lesson: find opportunities in battle!"
"We've secured the first-mover advantage. What remains is tactical command on the battlefield... That young man from the Federation is quite remarkable. I suggest a partnership."
Ivan was undecided: "But..."
Hua Kelevki raised his hand to interrupt him. "There's still time. You can observe first, but let me be frank. If you don't cooperate now, the Federation won't be so easy to deal with when you want to cooperate."
Ivan still didn't say anything, and the others had the same idea as him.
“Here I come!”
Hua Kelevki shouted, "Fire!"
Traveling in the jump channel for a long time requires sufficient power at the moment of crossing, and the defense ability is relatively weak. This is their only chance to ambush and severely damage the opponent.
Above a planet with a five-colored halo, whistles blew and densely packed ground-to-space missiles took off, targeting a coordinate in the void that seemed to be empty.
However, after a few seconds, a light suddenly appeared.
"boom……"
"boom……"
"boom……"
Red and white halos spread out across the area, instantly turning any meteorites passing through into dust.
A large number of black warships appeared in the void, carrying a chilling aura.
The Star Alliance fleet was used to smooth sailing. Shenfeng's tone was sarcastic. He was discussing with Shenmian how to set fire to the glass when he was hit violently. Their faces changed in an instant.
The Galactic Empire risked everything and threw almost all of the meteorite bombs it had stored for a hundred years at them. No matter how strong the protective shield was, it could not withstand such a violent attack.
The starship where the Lord God was located began to shake violently.
"Ant! How dare you?!"
The silver light in the Lord God's eyes rippled out in circles, "The third and fifth brothers are both dead?!"
"Unforgivable!"
People say that dripping water wears away a stone, let alone meteorite-level ammunition.
Just like China's former J-7 and J-8, even if the second-generation and a half fighters cannot defeat the fifth-generation F22, do you say that the large number of J-7s will be useless?
Therefore, no matter how big the gap in weapons was between the Galactic Empire and the Covenant, they could not withstand such heavy bombardment.
Several battleships on the periphery have approached the starship, preparing to return for repairs.
In space combat, victory or defeat often depends on who occupies the best attack position in the shortest time and launches the fastest attack before the opponent.
In addition to the performance of the battleship itself, this is also significantly affected by tactical command.
On the Star Network screen, the Star Alliance was stunned for a moment before quickly changing sides, seemingly poised to stage a comeback.
"Swoosh..." A dazzling beam of light lit up from the Fire Thunder Starship.
The light column was originally used to vitrify the planet, but at this time, the Alpha battleship that was swept by it was instantly vaporized.
Ivan swallowed hard. The enemy was too strong and he really couldn't stop him!
If you can't win at long range, what's the point of infiltration and assault, or how about using the empty to counter the real?
The enemy rushed over at this rate, and three battleships were enough to hold back his entire fleet!
Are we going to fight hand to hand? !
He recalled countless years of military exercises. Why, in the interstellar age, were there still areas requiring hand-to-hand combat in military simulation systems?!
It turns out that their only way to fight against the Covenant is through close combat?
Do we really have to use the blood and flesh of countless soldiers in exchange for a period of survival?
Ivan's defense line is on the left, facing jump point No. 3, so he bears the brunt of the attack.
Watching warship after warship being destroyed before his eyes, his fists clenched red.
"Retreat!" Huakovsky was more decisive than anyone else.
A huge gap suddenly appeared in the left line of defense, and the Covenant's fire mines and fire wings approached closely.
The long-range artillery strikes almost shattered the confidence of many commanders.
At this moment, a beam of dazzling light shot out from the black Gavarg with red lettering, directly facing the attack of the Fire Thunder.
The Gawara was lying across from the other three aircraft carriers, with attack halos constantly lighting up around it.
Ivan rushed to the porthole and said, "How could it be? How could the Gavarg be so powerful?!"
The guns of the Gawag fired simultaneously, perfectly interpreting the rhythm of an ancient poem
——The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night, and blows them down like rain!
