Ten days after the fall of the Third Theater, the Second Battle broke out. This was also the largest battle that broke out after entering a full-scale war. The dynasty mobilized 4 fleets with a total of 11 capital ships. Except for the resting fleet at the rear, almost all of them were dispatched. Although the Federation was short of troops, it fought back with all its strength. Except for the seriously damaged and overhauled battleships, all 10 available battleships were dispatched without giving in.
There were four battlefields in the second battle, three of which were the dynasty's active attacks, but the most critical battle was the federal assault on Xu Bingyan's flagship.
In the endless deep sky, two huge stars in the distance are particularly eye-catching. Against their backdrop, the human fleet advancing at full speed is like a team of ants.
Halos continued to light up in the void, and each Federation starship completed its jump. They quickly formed a formation and headed towards the battlefield at full speed. This is a huge fleet composed of 4 capital ships, more than 30 cruisers and 50 destroyers, and its combat power is terrifying. Even though the war has been going on for several years, the Federation was able to assemble such a fleet composed entirely of cutting-edge starships and still did its best.
300 light seconds away in front of the fleet, Xu Bingyan was looking at the huge federal fleet in the image in front of her and said, "We're finally here."
He turned to look at the flagship captain next to him and asked, "Is there any problem with holding on for two hours?"
"Marshal, your safety..."
"Is there a problem?" Xu Bingyan repeated.
The captain immediately straightened up and shouted: "No problem!"
Xu Bingyan finally smiled and said, "Then the battle here will be left to you. Let's see if the gift from that little guy works."
Xu Bingyan's fleet is quite thin, with only 30 starships in total, less than half of the number on the opposite side. However, it did not escape, but began to accelerate, rushing towards the federal fleet.
In the flagship of the Federation fleet, Austin looked sternly as he stared at the image of the dynasty fleet. The dynasty's auxiliary fleet was as thin and empty as expected, but there were three huge shadows like cities in the center of the fleet! Three capital ships instead of two!
Capital ships are not a big deal, and the several shipyards in the Dynasty that can produce capital ships have long been closely watched, and their every move cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the federation. So where did this new capital ship come from?
At this time, the Federation's powerful intelligence capabilities finally emerged. A staff officer quickly came over and said, "It has been found that the newly added battleship should be the Frostwolf class, and Lightyear is responsible for the design and construction."
"Frostwolf class..." Austin was impressed by this new ship type, not only because it was one of the replacement ship types for the next generation of the dynasty's battleships, but also because it was related to Chu Jungui. And anything seems to become very complicated as long as it has something to do with that little guy. However, he remembered that it had not been long since the construction of this Frostwolf-class ship was started. Under normal circumstances, it should not be completed at all.
The staff officer quickly said: "A month ago, this Frostwolf-class ship just left the dock for delivery. According to intelligence, its completion rate is only 85%. Even if it is outfitted at full speed on the road, it should only be in a barely usable state. In addition, Frostwolf The "class" is a cheap battleship from the beginning, and its estimated combat power is only half of that of current starships."
Austin frowned slightly. Normally, this Frostwolf-class ship should be a moving target, but Xu Bingyan is not a fool. Pulling it out at this time must have a plan. But no matter what Xu Bingyan's plans are now, this battle is inevitable. Austin's face turned calm, pointed forward, and ordered the war to begin!
A day later, the battlefield was filled with garbage and debris. Two huge starships and a few starships left the battlefield at full speed. Behind them, three federal capital ships were in hot pursuit, and several other high-speed starships formed a fleet and kept wandering around the periphery, trying to intercept them.
Austin remained expressionless, looking at the Dynasty starship escaping at full speed. At this time, the speeds of the two sides were almost the same. One was chasing and the other was escaping. It would take months to catch up to the fighting range. Although they are still chasing, even though there are still several high-speed starships, Austin knows that the result will not change.
Both dynasty battleships were scarred. Xu Bingyan's flagship was severely damaged and had to be overhauled before it could return to the battlefield. The other battleship was also moderately damaged. And the three battleships of the Federation are all
Minor damage, but one ship was sunk.
The battle was full of ups and downs, with both sides demonstrating the ultimate art of combat command. At the most critical moment, Austin even personally flew a fighter plane into the battle, killing three of Dynasty's ace pilots in succession. However, the key factor affecting the battle situation was not him, but the Canglang-class ship.
By any standard, the Frostwolf class is a shoddy bargain. But just such a cheap thing that has not yet been completed has exploded with astonishing combat power. Its offense and defense are quite satisfactory, but they are also close to the level of the current main force. But the most incredible thing is its reliability. This cheap guy took hundreds of space torpedoes and thousands of artillery shells, and he was still able to fight! If this was Xu Bingyan's flagship, it would make sense, but the Canglang-class only has an estimated combat strength of 270,000, which is less than one-third of Xu Bingyan's flagship!
The unexpected outburst of the Frostwolf class allowed Xu Bingyan to seize the opportunity and destroy a federal battleship at the cost of serious damage to the flagship. Then the riddled Frostwolf class launched a final suicide attack, damaging a federal battleship. power system. The key is that this capital ship is the fastest capital ship in the Federation.
When Xu Bingyan led the fleet and began to evacuate, the Frostwolf class was still fighting. It had been broken into two pieces, but one end and one tail were still firing.
After chasing for a while, Austin finally gave the order to stop chasing. The fragile high-speed fleet could not stop Xu Bingyan's flagship, and there was no point in pursuing it any longer. At this time, the general who was cleaning the battlefield from behind connected to Austin's communication and said: "Marshal, the battlefield has been cleared and the recovery of materials and personnel has begun. However, a large number of lifeboats flew out from the Frostwolf class, with an initial estimate of 31,000 people. We ...Do you still want to recycle it?”
The general's last sentence was very meaningful. Austin sighed and said, "Recycle."
"But……"
"No buts!" Austin's voice was stern.
In the end, the battle ended with each side losing one capital ship. The dynasty also lost more than a dozen large and small starships, while the Federation only had 5 ships. However, from top to bottom of the Federation fleet, this number is not very recognized. Many people do not think that the Frostwolf class is a battleship, especially after cleaning the battlefield. It was difficult for them to accept that such a crude thing had destroyed the Federation's cutting-edge battleship. No matter how many people find it difficult to accept it, at least this is how the battle report must be written.
