Chapter 1337 Don’t Feel Guilty

The battle lasted nearly ten hours from the time the first shell was fired, and the space fortress Ilsha finally returned to the hands of its owner.

The battle in the void was fierce, and it was not easy inside the fortress either.

The troops that attacked the fortress encountered fierce resistance, and the two sides fought for each cabin.

A large number of commandos invaded the fortress from different directions. Some were warship ports, some were launch points for space fighters, and some even took secret passages that the Red Maple Republic had not yet identified.

Under this strong siege, the troops of the Red Maple Republic continued to resist for several hours before finally surrendering. The remaining personnel had their weapons confiscated and were imprisoned in a detention room in the fortress as prisoners.

The reason they surrendered was not because their fighting spirit was exhausted, but because the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic retreated.

This sounds like a betrayal. Your Majesty and I are ready to fight to the death, why is Your Majesty surrendering first?

But in fact, from a strategic point of view, this is the most appropriate choice.

Regardless of whether the fortress was recaptured by the Xuanshui Federation or not, it would be impossible for the main fleets of both sides to determine the winner in a short period of time. However, the Red Maple Republic was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and they did not dare to gamble whether the Xuanshui Federation had any reinforcements.

Rather than continuing the stalemate and causing the fleet to be destroyed, it is better to sell out your teammates and retreat first.

Moreover, their retreat was not just a ruse to describe the retreat as a turn, but a real strategic retreat.

The tactic of pincer attack was not new. When the fleet of the Whirlwater Federation appeared near the space fortress Ilsha, the fleet commander of the Red Maple Republic understood that they were planning to cut off the logistics supply line.

The biggest flaw of the pincer attack is that it is easy to penetrate and encircle the enemy, but it is very difficult to eliminate the encircled enemy forces.

The action of the Whirlwater Federation to launch a pincer attack must have been known to the Red Maple Republic’s military, and the fleet currently fighting on the front line has probably also received the order and is retreating.

This means that the Third and Fifth Fleets of the Whirlwater Federation, which captured the space fortress Ilxia, will face the Red Maple Republic Fleet retreating from the front line.

In this case, there is no need for me to guard the space fortress and wait for the fleet returning from the front line to retreat. Then I will cooperate with friendly forces to attack from both sides. Can the Xuanshui Federation withstand it?

The fleet retreated for this purpose, and everyone in the Third and Fifth Fleets, including Alyssa, now faces the risk of being attacked from both sides. They don't know when this situation will occur, but they only know that it will definitely happen.

If we fail to hold on and let the Red Maple Republic's fleet escape, even if we regain the territory, the pincer attack will be a failure and we will not be able to consume the enemy's manpower.

If they can withstand it, it will be the Red Maple Republic that will be sweating profusely.

Therefore, retaking the space fortress Ilsha is just the prelude to a larger-scale battle.

"Captain Alyssa."

An elderly officer appeared on the main display of the bridge. Judging from his shoulder straps, he was a lieutenant general.

"I have seen the report. Your bravery is admirable. I will call the military and apply for a medal for you."

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

Since the fleet commander of the cruiser formation was killed, the fleet is currently under the command of Alyssa. Naturally, she has to report to the commanders-in-chief of the Third and Fifth Fleets.

"Humility is a virtue, but I would rather our heroes were more proud."

"You're overdoing me. I just tried my best to make an accurate judgment under the emergency situation at that time."

"You did your best to save the cruiser fleet and successfully opened a path for the armored transport ship to attack."

The lieutenant general said, shaking his head:
"Forget it. No matter what I say, you will definitely not go back to the rear."

Ah yes, the lieutenant general kept praising Alyssa and applying for medals and so on, just to let Alyssa return to the rear to be awarded the medal.

Because the lieutenant general knew that the battle that would break out next would be very difficult.

The heroes of the Xuanshui Federation cannot be wasted here. Their survival will be of greater benefit to the people and the country.

But what Alyssa wanted was to fight on the front line. She wanted to personally follow the fleet to defeat the Red Maple Republic. This was the greatest condolence she could do for Banning.

"However, we still haven't figured out the cause of the strange explosion."

Alyssa was in a cold sweat when she heard this:

"Yes, yes..." Feeling very guilty.

In order to cover up her guilty conscience, she said:
"The engineers reported that it was caused by an explosive that we don't understand. No magic power or explosive residue has been found so far. It seems to be very clean. The engineers speculated that the people of the Red Maple Republic made a mistake when using this weapon, resulting in a self-explosion."

“Yes, I have also seen the report here.”

The lieutenant general picked up a piece of paper, looked at it and said:
"I hope this weapon won't actually be used on us."

"Uh... um."

I can’t say any more. If I say any more, Alyssa will lose the patience.

What puzzled the lieutenant general was that there was no intelligence about such a powerful weapon. This was more dangerous than the weapon itself, and it meant that there might be something wrong with the intelligence network of the Red Maple Republic.

He has already sent a liaison ship to send all the battle reports back to the rear, to see what the military in the rear is thinking.

Compared to this, how to arrange the defense is something that needs more consideration.

"Since you don't want to go back, then fine, I'll give you the task of protecting the logistics fleet. I order you to lead the patrol fleet to set off immediately to meet the logistics supply ship. This is related to whether we can defend the fortress."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Alyssa saluted with a not-so-standard military salute, and the lieutenant general saluted back, and then the call was hung up.

When the fleet of the Xuanshui Federation evacuated the space fortress Ilsha, it carried out repairable damage to the fortress facilities.

The purpose is to restore the fortress's functions in the shortest possible time when you come back in the future.

Of course, this kind of repairable damage also requires a large amount of supplies, including the rearrangement of artillery, the deployment of space fighters and pilots, and huge quantities of ammunition and munitions.

Most importantly, they must repair Ilsha's fortress artillery before the Red Maple Republic's fleet arrives. This will be the key to whether they can withstand the double-sided attack.

Seeing that the lieutenant general did not delve into the nuclear bomb, Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Li Chengxi's voice rang out from the bridge:
"You could be more upright. You were too guilty just now."

"Who is responsible for this?"

"At least it has a good ending, doesn't it?"

"..."

indeed.

Every time Li Chengxi acted on his own, he would end up in a mess, but he would also miraculously achieve his goals every time.

In other words, if you ignore the process, the results are still excellent.

Alyssa leaned back in her chair:

"That thing won't blow up on my ship, will it?"

"Nuclear weapons are very safe. Don't worry. They won't explode even if they are fired at by machine guns."

A hydrogen bomb requires an atomic bomb as a detonator to detonate, and an atomic bomb needs to reach a critical mass to undergo a nuclear reaction, so this thing is actually safer than gunpowder weapons or energy weapons.

Moreover, after the hydrogen bomb explodes, all reactive materials will be burned, and the radiation level will quickly return to safe values ​​in a short period of time, which can be said to be clean and hygienic.

"How many of those things do you have left?"

"Um... two?"

“Why is it a question?”

Because Li Chengxi didn't know how many nuclear bombs were left, and the nuclear arsenal hanging on the backpack on his back couldn't tell how many were in stock. Fang Lanyin was currently dismantling it to see how many were there...
