"Count the losses." Li Huamei ordered to the podium. "aye aye." In front of the screen that was divided into countless pieces, men and women saluted and gave mixed responses.
Li Huamei turned off the microphone without saying anything.
When the communication was interrupted, Fei Xianghu, who seemed to be burned out, could no longer maintain her rigid image. She relaxed slightly and leaned on the chair.
"Thank you." Just when she was about to rub her eyebrows to relieve her fatigue, a cup of steaming coffee was placed in front of her. Li Huamei quickly thanked her, but her adjutant waved his hand, sat down next to her, and picked up another cup of coffee on the plate.
As a battleship with only 12 members, making coffee is not a job that the adjutant should do, especially when she only has one arm left - the adjutant's left arm was hit by a broadside shot and exploded The fragments were neatly cut off from the elbow - but after she simply sealed the wound with medical glue, she continued to fight without even looking at the severed arm.
"Sugar?" The adjutant raised the white porcelain jar containing sugar, and Li Huamei shook her head. Li Huamei doesn't like coffee, but compared to injecting stimulants that are harmful to the body, drinking bitter coffee is undoubtedly a good way to refresh herself. While sipping the steaming liquid, she watched the adjutant's movements with some curiosity. "One-half spoonful of sugar, one and a quarter spoonful of milk...", the adjutant chanted with concentration, and with one arm he nimbly picked out what he needed from a group of bottles and jars, and was satisfied after completing it. Pick up your cup.
"Uh-" When the first sip of coffee was taken into his mouth, the adjutant showed an expression of "I want to vomit but am embarrassed to spit it out", which made Li Huamei laugh involuntarily. Presumably her cup of "carefully" brewed coffee might not taste as good as her own cup with nothing added. "Ah!" The adjutant let out a loud cry. She finally swallowed the bitter liquid, and then immediately put the remaining coffee far away on the other side of the table. "So Li Ji usually drinks such painful things? It's better to drink." She would never admit that there was something wrong with her mixing method.
"Jing Liji~" Li Huamei raised the coffee cup in her hand.
"...Jing Liji." Facing the captain with a serious expression, knowing clearly that she was playing a prank, the adjutant could only grimace and pick up the strange cup of coffee again. After she and Li Huamei touched the cup lightly, they drank it as if they were drinking medicine.
Li Ji is the correspondent of the "Kunlun". Killed five hours ago. In addition, there are Lao Li, Jianmin, Mike, and Christine—the 12 crew members on the Kunlun. Only 7 of them are alive now...
****
The war has been going on day and night.
The flagship driven by Li Huamei, the new battleship "Kunlun" which was launched less than 24 hours ago, is now so dilapidated that even her builder may not be able to recognize her.
The crimson paint blackened by gunfire, the half-broken aileron, a large hole in the belly of the ship, and the hundreds of cracks in the outer armor that shot out electric sparks everywhere. There were also unstable shields that flickered on and off... Even if the ship blew itself up the next minute, no one would be surprised.
But it is such a battleship. During a long day and night, he remained stubbornly at the forefront of the battle against the Reapers! Twelve hours ago, the "Kunlun" was riddled with scars. At that time, everyone thought she could no longer bear it - but twelve hours later, she is still here! From the beginning to the end, the "Kunlun" never left the two thousand kilometers range near the repeater - the area with the highest intensity of repeater sniper battles.
Behind the "Kunlun", there are the wreckage of Star Alliance battleships everywhere - "Everest", "Fuji", "Aconcagua", "Olympus", four old Star Alliance Dreadnoughts ship; there are also "Hangzhou", "Kyoto", "Los Angeles", "Cairo", "Budapest"...etc., seventeen new and old Star Alliance cruisers, as many as 140 Frigate. There are also 2,700 naval officers who died here!
The four cruisers of the "Skylian Star Domain Task Force" that were the first to follow Li Huamei to the battlefield and blocked the triangle area. Now, except for the "Shanghai", which is still fighting hard, the remaining three warships have all fought. without! Among them, the "Budapest" commanded by Zhang Tan even collided with an enemy ship and exploded. Fifty-seven people on the ship instantly disappeared from the communication network...
Li Huamei was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhang Tan's name in the death statistics. But she didn't even have time to hurt. They had to start the next round of fighting immediately.
In front of the "Kunlun" are thousands of Reaper corpses floating around the repeater! Twenty-one of them are left behind by the "Overlord" class battleships! Yes, according to the exchange ratio of the "Overlord" class with the old Star Alliance battleships is 1:4, and the exchange ratio with the new cruisers is 1:3 (calculated correctly, this is a natural victory! Unfortunately, it cannot be changed by this) Comparison of the strength of each other's dual-shots - there are too many reapers!
This is an unprecedented battle over the galaxy's Mass Effect repeater.
Because of the "uncertain landing point" feature of teleportation through relays in the past, the tactic of "fighting around Mass Effect relays" has always existed only on paper. Unable to form. But the emergence of Dawn changed everything.
Due to the increase in the level of available energy, Dawn has entered the next "scientific research explosion" stage. Countless scientific research directions that have come to an end are now being conquered one after another. Among them is the difficulty of "accurate calculation of repeater transmission". In the "City of Dawn", Dawn has been able to limit the landing point error of the transmitted spacecraft to within 10 centimeters (jker's original landing point error was 1,500 kilometers.
Although Li Huamei does not have that kind of repeater auxiliary equipment in her hands, she does have the mathematical model stored in her universal tool. This allows her to use the battleship's central computer to accurately obtain the opponent's landing point in advance every time the repeater is activated - it is with this little advantage that she can truly win a "Chinese battle". "Relay Blocking War"!
...Using the characteristics of the repeater, it repelled fourteen attacks of the Reaper in a row, forcing the Reaper to retreat to the repeater again and again, completely blocking the Reaper in the repeater. Opposite!
"Captain, please..." The adjutant looked at her and hesitated to speak, but was directly interrupted by Li Huamei.
"Charging is complete, let's start the next battle!" Li Huamei cheered up and said. She turned around and turned on the communication switch on the console, deliberately ignoring the adjutant's last words. she knows. That was when the adjutant planned to persuade her to join the retreat again. The sniper fleet led by Li Huamei fought hard all day and night, and also bought Hackett and Annie ample time to retreat.
The "Arcturus Space Station Evacuation" has been successfully completed. As early as an hour ago, Li Huamei and the others watched the last cargo ship carrying civilians leave the galaxy. Next, each main fleet also began to evacuate in batches.
Speaking of which, we need to talk about the special composition of the entire Arcturus Galaxy. Although there are few planets here, there is one main relay and two secondary relays. The main-level repeater is of course connected to all main-level repeaters in the pan-Galaxy system. Li Huamei's blocking battle revolves around this repeater; one of the two secondary repeaters is connected to the "Charon" repeater in the solar system. The other is connected to the "Utopia" system (the location of the "Eden" colony star).
This allows the Star Alliance fleet to jump through the main level relay, or quickly transfer through the second channel of "Utopia"-"Arcturus"-"Solar System". Therefore, Arcturus can be called the "crossroads of the Star Alliance". The Star Alliance established the Stanford Garden-style "Arcturus Space Station" here and then established its headquarters here, which is a reflection of this importance.
Therefore, when Li Huamei blocked the main relay, it did not affect the space station and fleet, and they could leave through the secondary relay on the other side. As for leaving by yourself? She actually never thought about it.
…
"'Osaka' confirmed to have crashed..."
"...This is the aircraft carrier Einstein. The ship has been severely damaged and is requesting evacuation..." "Agreed!"
"'Hangzhou' found twenty-seven crew members. Their captain is still alive!" "Please move them to the rear immediately...Thank you!"
As soon as the communication was opened, reports came flooding in. Li Huamei immediately devoted herself to her work wholeheartedly, forgetting her adjutant's advice. Only when she heard among the noisy reports that Lin Zhuxue, the captain of the "Hangzhou", was still alive, did she breathe a sigh of relief... What a rare piece of good news.
All warships participating in the blockade battle are all classified under the name of "Skyrian Star Domain Task Force" and are under the unified command of Li Huamei. So if you calculate fleet size. This squadron is probably more than twice the size of other main fleets! But when it comes to battleships specifically... it's not that happy. Because in the final analysis, General Hackett's goal is to preserve the strength of the new capital ships and supplement the "Skyrian Star Task Force" responsible for blocking, most of which are old warships.
For example, battleships that have lost their flagship status, such as the "Fuji" and "Aconcagua"; and old cruisers that are about to be eliminated, such as the "Los Angeles" and the "Cairo". It was also specially transferred from the First Fleet and joined in the sniper battle to make use of the remaining heat... It can be said that half of the reason why the squadron suffered such heavy battle losses can be attributed to the lack of combat effectiveness of the old battleships!
But as a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders. After receiving the order, each battleship would silently leave the fleet and rush to the relay to accept Li Huamei's command. Maybe there were complaints and regrets, but no one said it. Until the battleship was severely damaged. Or you have to completely lose your combat effectiveness before you can request evacuation - as long as the warship is not killed in the explosion, the people on the ship have at least half a chance of surviving...
"The General Staff is calling!" the adjutant said to the busy Li Huamei. Li Huamei nodded and picked out the communication signal from a large number of requests.
"This is Hackett!" The old man's stern look appeared on the console screen, and the two people on the bridge saluted at the same time. General Hackett also looked very tired. His hair was messy and stuck to his forehead. He probably had to comb it in a hurry before communicating. "Have a rest...Thank you for the efforts of the Skirian Star Task Force. Your sacrifices are saving countless lives! The current situation at the head of the staff is as follows. The evacuation of the Arcturus Space Station has been completed; first and fourth , the Sixth Fleet has been deployed; the Second, Third, and Fifth Fleets have rushed to the solar system; the Seventh Fleet is about to block the 'Utopia' route...
Next, the First Fleet Squadron will take over your work and deploy a new line of defense in front of the Charon 2 repeater. I now officially order General Li Huamei, Commander of the Skirian Star Domain Task Force, that your department... allow evacuation! "
Li Huamei's channel is open to the entire fleet. Upon hearing the news that evacuation was allowed, the warships that had been quietly listening to the headquarters' communications suddenly roared like a tsunami!
But at this moment, the Arcturus Galaxy's main relay started to rotate again. But this time, the repeater burst out with unprecedented brightness, and the blue light was even brighter than the stars!
"Super massive mass is being transmitted! The quantity...cannot be calculated."
The cheers of the sniper fleet came to an abrupt end... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
