Chapter 1477: Crimson Galaxy Suppression Operation (4)

The Red Maple Republic is now facing almost the same situation as the Spinwater Federation.

There are insufficient troops and supplies, and the enemy is about to move in.

The only difference is that the Red Maple Republic has greater strategic depth. After all, they do not have a star gate, and the Swirling Water Federation's counterattack cannot directly penetrate into the capital galaxy of the Red Maple Republic.

As a large country with tens of billions of people, its war mobilization capabilities are very terrifying. The Red Maple Republic also began to go all out at this time, even taking out its retired and sealed carrier-based aircraft.

The pilots of these space fighter planes are likely to come from civil aviation, and there are also the kind of cannon fodder who took a theoretical class for a week, casually trained on the simulator, and then went to the battlefield.

But it has to be said that this number is really sufficient. The fleet that Li Chengqi and Hall saw alone was at least more than 500, and the enemy aircraft carriers were still ejecting continuously.

Li Chengqi is indeed awesome, but he can't fight against thousands of them. There are dozens of carrier-based aircraft in the meteorite belt. Li Chengqi is not afraid, but the number exceeds three digits, so he has to weigh them carefully.

He immediately led Hall to plunge into the meteorite belt again. Hall immediately notified the friendly forces of the discovery of a large number of enemy aircraft. The subsequent melee in the meteorite belt would probably be very fierce.

Alyssa also received the news, and she saw the huge engine light through the optical sighting system.

This caused the Swan to re-revise its route. It originally planned to make a circle and come out of the meteorite belt, but now it had to change its plan. All warships lowered their altitude on the spot and tried to stay as far away from the meteorite belt as possible, with the meteorite belt above their heads. Start an artillery battle with the enemy cruiser formation outside the meteorite belt.

There are no advantages or disadvantages to this position. The advantage is that it can avoid being suddenly attacked by torpedoes. Moreover, the enemy forces are actually just the Planetary Defense Force. The quality of the ships is not as good as that of the regular army. If the counter-bombing strategy is adopted, the Water Federation will be attacked. One side is favorable.

But if possible, Alyssa doesn't want to adopt this strategy, because her ideas are very similar to Li Chengqi's, and there will inevitably be losses in a head-on confrontation.

The naval gun kept repeating the cycle of charging, firing, recharging, firing again, and finally cooling down. The Swan was not afraid of the bombardment at all.

After all, the Swan, which has been modified many times, is completely a destroyer in the skin of a cruiser, with very high strength.

But friendly forces are not.

Damage reports could be seen on the command system, and even the names of battleships that had been destroyed. Although the losses to the enemy during the bombing were more serious, Alyssa felt very uncomfortable as each name darkened.

As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers. When you go to the battlefield, you must have the awareness that both the enemy and ourselves will suffer losses. However, Alyssa has never been very adaptable to suffering losses. The habit of the recycler is to pick up delicious food and run away when it is time to understand the current situation.

"The enemy carrier-based aircraft broke through the blockade, and the torpedoes are coming!"

Alyssa immediately informed the fleet that the anti-aircraft gunners at all the top gun positions were on standby. Soon the anti-aircraft gunners of the entire fleet opened fire almost simultaneously, and a large number of orange flashes appeared near the meteorite belt overhead.

But this time, there may be too many carrier-based aircraft, and the anti-aircraft guns are a little busy. Friendly warships were hit by torpedoes, but the number is not enough. Even if the cruiser's shield can withstand one or two torpedoes, it is not a problem.

Not to mention the Swan. It had enough time to maneuver when it saw the torpedoes. After all, it was the fastest legend in the void.

"Have Hall and Li Chengqi come back?"

"Not yet. It must be entangled in the fleet."

The number of enemy aircraft exceeded expectations, which became a stumbling block to the Swan and the cruiser fleet.

But this time there was no time limit. Unlike the previous race to recapture the Star Gate, Alyssa quickly and calmly thought about countermeasures and rearranged the formation and route.

Let's not be anxious this time and seek stability. What we should really be anxious about is the enemy.

Indeed, in terms of the main fleet, the Red Maple Republic is at an absolute disadvantage. If it does not retreat, it will only be a matter of time before it is wiped out.

It would be nonsense to try to block the main fleet with just the rags of the Planetary Defense Force. Theoretically, it wouldn't be a problem for Alyssa to tangle with them here for a day or two.

But again, there are still few fools in this world.

The current situation in the Red Maple Republic, even if the battle reports are watered down for the common people, don't their senior leaders themselves know how bad it is?

Just lie to your brothers, don't lie to yourself.

Under such absolutely unfavorable circumstances, the enemy's main fleet still did not choose to retreat and exchanged strategic depth for time. This in itself shows that the opponent must have a back-up plan.

Alyssa thought of the Crystal Gap Trigger found on the Silver Gear. She wonders how many such things there are in the Red Maple Republic. What is certain is that once it is necessary to use it, the other party will never be stingy with the Spinning Water Federation. The fleet perished together.

After much deliberation, Alyssa decided to take a little risk to see the quality of the Red Maple Republic under the premise of steady progress.

"Bearing 103, fired a torpedo, and then the No. 20 to No. 60 ships fired a smoke screen."

The shooting situation was obviously favorable, but Alyssa's order seemed a bit redundant.

At this distance, it is almost impossible for a torpedo to hit. It is simply better to hit than not to hit, and the smoke screen is a bit inexplicable. Doesn't this mean that it blocks the view of our side that is beneficial to Todoroki?

Alyssa's purpose is not to eliminate the other party, but to see how the other party reacts.

The ships that received the order quickly fired torpedoes and smoke screens as Alyssa said, and the entire fleet quickly began to turn under the cover of the smoke screen.

Normally, the planetary defense team would also turn and continue to block Alyssa's way in front to prevent them from getting closer to the habitable planet.

But as soon as the Swan, which had completed the turn under the cover of smoke, came out, Alyssa saw that the planetary defense team was almost motionless in the same place, just firing a few shots from a distance.

Sure enough, there was something fishy!

These guys didn't follow up, probably because they were afraid that they would also be involved in some kind of attack, and they were still far away from the habitable planet. Even if the spaceport in their planet's orbit fired the fortress gun, it would not reach it at all.

Then, the reason why they were afraid of being involved was obvious.

"Continue to fire smoke, and the entire fleet will turn according to the new route."

Knowing that it was a trap, Alyssa naturally would not jump into it. The fleet turned and then returned to the original route.

At this time, Villania said:

"There is a friendly communication coming in."

"Receive it from me."

Soon, a man who looked like an officer appeared on the screen next to the captain's seat, saluted and said:

"Captain Alyssa, your fleet seems to be advancing a little slower than planned. Is it in trouble? We will approach to provide support."

This person is the commander of the cruiser formation of the Third Fleet, and Alyssa is under the flag of the Fifth Fleet.

"The enemy's sneak attack and harassment against us with the meteorite belt has indeed caused some trouble. We just need your support, but the enemy seems to have set up a trap. Please do not approach the star field marked by us to avoid heavy losses."

"I received the star map and will cooperate with you in the battle."

It didn't take long for the cruisers to appear behind the fleet led by Alyssa. The support of friendly forces was enough to break through the enemy's blockade.

After all, we have an absolute advantage in manpower, and reinforcements can arrive at any time.

Now the pressure has come to the side of the Red Maple Republic. They failed to trap Alyssa, and now they are about to be broken through head-on.

Alyssa estimated that they would definitely jump to the wall in desperation.

Sure enough, the fleet alarm sounded in the bridge immediately. This was not a combat alarm or damage alarm, but a disaster warning.

"Space transfer signal detected, the crystal gap opened nearby!"

These guys really used it!
