There was a line between the north and south of planet 5460. This line originally only existed on military maps. Other than the fortifications hidden in the mountains and high-strength cement buildings, this line did not have any obvious markings. However, on this night, countless explosions, smoke clouds, and light clearly outlined this line.
The Imperial expeditionary force's attack spread out on two-thirds of the circular line. Most of the attacks were concentrated in the night area. The dense flames rang out against the black background, appearing particularly dazzling. It was as if a god had tied a beautiful belt around the waist of this planet. The belt was decorated with sparkling rubies.
Every shining ruby represented a violent explosion. The Federation's Light Feather Fleet looked down on this scene from high above. They gracefully turned around in space, and the bow of the ship lowered, rushing down toward the belt that was filled with the will of death and blood.
Countless missiles from both the north and south rose into the air. In the dark side of the planet, they drew out slender and mesmerizing rays of light. After the Federation's space fleet released the first batch of all-terrain fighters, they maintained a close distance. They did not dare to get too close to the atmosphere. The bow of the ship slowly adjusted. The inside of the seven battleships began to emit a low but powerful roar. The light became dim. The huge energy output by the crystal multi-engine began to move toward the main cannon base according to the established channel.
"Main cannon ready to fire."
"Main cannon in position."
Major General Hong Yujing looked at the light screen in front of her. She raised her right hand and said calmly, "Expand the O-shaped radius by 700%."
The adjutant was stunned. "The lethality will be reduced by a lot."
"What we need is to help the ground forces get through this most difficult period." Major General Hong Yujing lowered her eyes and said, "The most important thing is the lethality area. Even if we blast the opponent's mecha into smoke, what effect will it have on the overall situation?"
No one said anything else. In the current situation where crystal mines were scarce, the fleet that should have been the most terrifying force in the universe had an innate sorrow. The battleships had a huge power that the ground forces could not resist, but they did not have enough energy to support it and turn this power into victory.
"Five, four, three, two, one … fire!"
The countdown for the Federal Fleet's main cannon ended. The battleships floating in the dark side of the planet instantly entered some kind of absolute stillness. In addition to the palpitating silence in the universe, it was as if the entire world had stopped moving.
More than ten pillars of light shot out from the bases of the seven warships!
These beams of light looked so slender and delicate. They were silent, like flashlights shining into a lake. They gently passed through the planet's dark atmosphere and landed on the surface.
The beam of light, which appeared to be thin in space, had expanded to an area of thousands of square meters when it landed on the ground!
The sound finally rang out. Countless heavy-duty armored vehicles and Moon Wolf mechas from the Empire instantly exploded, overturned, and disintegrated into countless broken metal components, splashing in all directions under the punishment white light that descended from the sky!
In order to expand the attack area, the Federal Fleet deliberately increased the area and reduced the degree of damage. If it was just to accurately hit a target, there would definitely be a lot of terrifying scenes of the Empire's heavy equipment being vaporized on planet 5460!
Just like that time in the outskirts of the capital of Hexi State in the Donglin Region, the beam of light that descended from the sky instantly turned the black M52 mecha controlled by Feng Yu into a puff of green smoke.
…
…
Because of the Federal Fleet's attack, the beautiful belt on the planet instantly bloomed with ten light clusters. The ruby-shaped explosion clusters that represented the fierce ground attack were instantly overshadowed by these light pillars that descended from the sky.
"Report from the command center, the effect of the outer layer attack is very significant!"
The excited voices of the Federation staff officers sounded in the battleships. They waved their fists in the air and looked at the images on the ground transmitted from the satellite. They looked at the huge gaps that were forcefully blasted open by the battleships of the Imperial expeditionary force and the charred metal debris that sputtered around the gaps. They were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
The fierce attack of the seventeen armored regiments of the Imperial expeditionary force was severely hindered under the precise attack of the Federation's space fleet.
At that moment, the battle had already entered the second line of defense of the Federation. The Federal Army finally managed to block the continuous attacks of the Imperial expeditionary force with the help of powerful defensive firepower.
Countless heavy armor units of the Empire were destroyed in the valleys and plains. Countless Moon Wolf mechas were hit by the electromagnetic missiles of the fighter jets. Their bodies flashed with a terrifying blue light as they were forced to fall. Then, the small teams of the Federation attacked the infantrymen. They used shoulder-fired rocket launchers to bombard the infantrymen non-stop …
At the same time, the sturdy defense of the Federation also suffered a fierce attack that they had never experienced in the past ten years. The fearless Imperial expeditionary force used all of their missiles and main cannons to continuously overturn the high-strength cement walls. Tens of thousands of tons of soil were continuously thrown into the air. The concentrated bullets hit any protruding objects on the surface of the ground, making horrible sounds. Who knew how many soldiers were turned into dust under this kind of firepower …
"The three mecha brigades will be here soon. The second wave of attack from the missile base is ready." Major General Hong Yujing frowned as she looked at the markings on the screen. She confirmed that the fleet had already helped the command center stabilize the situation. Although the attacks of the Empire were still as terrifying as ever, with the follow-up forces of the Federation catching up, they could at least hold the third line of defense.
Right at that moment, the radar system of the light feather battleship suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.
The quiet space was still quiet. There were no signs of the enemy. Why did the alarm sound? Major General Hong Yujing quickly walked back to her seat. Her expression was abnormally cold. She said to the entire fleet, "Electronic interference detected. Everyone retreat. Leave the atmosphere immediately and enter the distant space!"
This Federation captain's reaction was not slow. However, although the seven battleships that had just fired their main cannons did not need to undergo emergency cooling, the reactivation of their multi-crystal engines still required ten seconds.
However, right at the seventh second, in the space above the Federal Fleet at an angle of 345 degrees, a wolf's head with a metallic luster appeared.
The wolf's head seemed slow, but in reality, it was extremely fast. Only after leaving the ionization cloud's concealment could one see clearly that it was the head of a black battleship. Gradually, one, two, three … a total of seventeen Empire Night Wolf class battleships appeared in the upper half of the Federal Fleet's airspace. They rapidly pressed down!
…
…
"The expeditionary army's only Empire Royal Fleet … why would they appear here?" Major General Hong Yujing's right hand was tightly clenched. She was extremely shocked, but her face did not reveal any emotion. She quickly and clearly issued a high-speed evacuation order to the entire fleet.
Right now, the Federal Fleet was in near-Earth space. Facing the Empire's fleet tens of thousands of kilometers away, countless of them made effective evasive maneuvers. Although the offensive ability of the Empire's battleships was far inferior to the Federal Fleet's, Major General Hong Yujing knew that in front of these beasts of the Empire that even dared to engage in space collisions and perish together, if they did not immediately leave the near-Earth space and rely on the Federal Fleet's high speed to enter outer space, her own fleet would very likely be dragged into the Empire's battleships and perish together!
"The overflow of the No.3 Furnace's No.2 Furnace is at 8%! Fleet, form the Camorra formation! Hurry! "
Urgent shouts rang out from the Federal Fleet. In the silent space, the two fleets unexpectedly encountered each other, but neither launched an attack first. They only raised their speed to the maximum and began to chase after each other.
The reason the Empire's fleet did not launch an attack was very simple. The crude main cannons of their battleships, in the large-scale space environment, even if they hit the Federation's battleships, would not immediately cause real damage to the Federation's super-thick alloy armor.
The reason the Federal Fleet did not launch an attack was that the energy quota of the battleships was seriously insufficient. They had to save the energy that was not used to maintain the operation of the battleships for the most critical moment.
The Federal Fleet had the advantage of speed, but the Empire's fleet that should never appear here had the advantage of numbers and positioning. The timing of the appearance of the Night Wolf Fleet was especially perfect. The Federal Fleet's main cannons had just been fired and were still in the near-Earth space.
The silent chase was an extremely dangerous chase. If the Federal Fleet was really closed in by the enemy, then they would certainly blossom into a cluster of fireworks above the planet.
"Break away from the level one gravitational interference!"
The command and control system of the light-feather class battleship issued a timely voice. The soldiers of the Federal Fleet that had been silent and tense for three minutes all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads. As long as they left the near-Earth space, with the speed of the Empire's fleet, there was no way they could catch up with them.
"Continue to break away from the level two gravitational interference." However, Major General Hong Yujing did not relax. Her eyes were as sharp as knives as she stared coldly at the light screen. Looking at the Night Wolf Fleet of the Empire that was changing their formation, she knew that the enemy would definitely not let her go. The situation was still dangerous.
…
…
"Seven Empire's battleships have left!"
The deputy commander shouted in shock, "What are they trying to do? Are they trying to die? General, I suggest that we immediately release the battleships and launch a sniper attack against the enemy. "
"What are they trying to do?" Major General Hong Yujing looked at the Empire's fleet that was changing their formation 100,000 kilometers away. Her heart was heavy. Suddenly, she said in a cold voice, "Inform the ground command that the Empire's fleet is heading toward Ze Qiu Spaceport!"
Hearing this, the Federation officers that were busy in the command hall froze at the same time. They turned around and looked at her in disbelief.
"Inform the ground command that our fleet has been forced to leave the near-Earth space and is in a state of entanglement with the enemy. We can't support the spaceport. Tell them to prepare to face the enemy …" Major General Hong Yujing slowly lowered her head and said softly, "Or retreat."
…
…
The head of the Empire's Night Wolf battleships was a wolf's head with a metallic luster. It definitely did not fit the design concept of space combat, but it was the nightmare of countless Federation battleships. This was because the Empire's people who were not afraid of death would often use this wolf's head to play the game of perishing together with the enemy.
The commander of the Night Wolf Fleet, Fu Ding, looked at the surface that was getting closer and closer. He said calmly, "Attack the spaceport, release the battleships, and open up a path for the mecha team. Our goal is to capture Jian Shui'er alive for His Majesty."
The Night Wolf Fleet appeared like a ghost. They only used two changes of speed to successfully force the Federal Fleet into outer space. It had to be said that this commander's commanding skills had already reached the realm of perfection. Normal tactics, just because of his perfect grasp of timing, brought the dawn of victory to the Empire.
He rubbed his blonde curly hair and looked at the planet's night zone that was filled with flames. He smiled and said, "My fleet is not here to be a guest."
