Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1353: Cutting off the retreat route, Ilxia defensive operation (11)

"Shield energy reduced to 70%!"

"200mm ion cannon overheating!"

"Emergency cooling!"

"Main gun hit, enemy cruiser caught fire, flash of explosion confirmed visually."

The bridge of the Swan was also very busy.

Even Alyssa, who was only responsible for giving general instructions, kept tapping on the display beside her to correct the Swan's course.

There were more than one hundred cruisers directly under the command of Alyssa. They left the friendly mobile aircraft carriers near the fortress and took the lead in charging to destroy the enemy cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers.

The enemy has fewer cruise ships than Alyssa, but has a large number of mobile aircraft carriers and temporary aircraft carriers converted from cargo ships, with a total of more than 500 ships.

The anti-aircraft guns of the Swan and friendly ships were almost destroyed, trying to prevent the enemy's carrier-based aircraft from launching torpedoes and other harassment. The main and secondary guns were aimed at the most important aircraft carriers and were firing frantically.

The Swan's gunpowder secondary guns were replaced with twin-mounted railguns, which have super strong penetrating power and very fast bullet speed. Even high-level destroyers and frigates will have their shields penetrated after a few hits.

But the railgun shoots out a lump of iron. It does create a hole when it hits something, but it's just a hole and its destructive power is very poor.

So Alyssa asked Long to use the secondary guns and main guns together, the secondary guns penetrate armor, and the main guns output.

The number of enemy ships destroyed by the Swan reached 10, which was a very luxurious number for a light cruiser. However, the Swan had been greatly strengthened, so this result was justified.

But it was still not fast enough for the battle situation.

The enemy's warships were either damaged or destroyed. Many aircraft carriers that were temporarily converted from transport ships had already begun to disintegrate. Through the glass of the bridge, one could see the wreckage of the ships moving slowly like a waterfall.

However, the total number of enemy troops is still over three hundred. More than two hours have passed, but they still cannot be eliminated.

What's more, the other party is not a target, they will dodge and fight back.

The number of our ships has dropped below one hundred. Even if we are completely wiped out, it will be worth it if we can destroy the enemy's aircraft carrier force.

But according to the current progress and KD ratio, it cannot be done by the cruise ship formation led by the Swan alone.

Alyssa was also very anxious. Like Hall, she was afraid that Li Chengxi would drop nuclear bombs everywhere without any care.

After all, no one can control him. Even though he said before the war that he would not litter, who can believe him?
Everything else is easy to deal with. Alyssa is mainly afraid that Li Chengxi will drop nuclear bombs randomly and blow up the space fortress. That would be the end of it. It would be like leaving a gap in the encirclement, and the surrounded Red Maple Republic fleet would definitely swarm in.

"A jump signal has been detected, number 145, type patrol ship, marking the jump location."

When Alyssa heard the jump signal, her heart tightened, but she immediately looked at the location marked by An Yun. It looked like friendly forces!
Sure enough, ten seconds later the jump ended, and 145 cruise ships appeared behind the left side of the Swan, and sent a communication request at the same time.

"This is Major Holm, the commander of the Third Fleet's replenishment fleet. We are coming from the stargate and have been ordered to support the space fortress Ilxia."

This Major Holm looked very young, only two or three years older than Alyssa at most. He should be a captain who was promoted as an exception because of the war.

"I am Lieutenant Colonel Alyssa Lee from the Fifth Fleet. Major, your fleet has arrived just in time. I require you to accept my command and order your troops to join us and defeat the enemy's mobile aircraft carrier."

"Accepting the order, 145 patrol ships will be added to your fleet." He saluted and hung up the communication.

It is normal to have a fleet rushing over from the star gate for support, but forget about veterans, as most of those who come are new recruits.

If you look closely at the fleet of reinforcement cruisers, you'll find that they are almost all brand new, the kind that even smell like new plastic when you turn them on.

All the fleets have been deployed on the battlefield at this time. The reinforcements can only be new recruits, and quickly trained recruits at that. The technical and tactical levels of these guys are questionable, but it is good to have reinforcements, and we can't ask for too much.

Alyssa hoped that there would be warships of larger tonnage to come for reinforcement, but she also knew that this was unrealistic. Even if there were, the reinforcements would definitely be sailing in the rear and it would take some time for them to arrive.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Time slipped away again in tiny movements that no one noticed, but the passage of time did not seem to affect the intensity of the battlefield.

The main fleets of both sides continued to engage in dazzling and crazy bombardment. The losses on both sides were actually very small. The total number of main battleships lost by both sides since the start of the war was less than 100.

But the commander of the Whirlwater Federation obviously noticed something unusual. The fleet of the Red Maple Republic seemed to be luring him away from the vicinity of the space fortress Ilsha.

Although I don’t know what the other party’s purpose is, I must not be fooled.

Far below and to the right of the main fleet was the patrol fleet led by the Swan. With the addition of a group of reinforcements, it seemed feasible to destroy the enemy's mobile carriers and cruise ships. However, the quality of these new recruits did not disappoint Alyssa's expectations. Their artillery fire was inaccurate, their evasive navigation was a mess, and some were so nervous that they even forgot to restart their shields.

You can't ask too much of the quickly trained recruits, but after this battle, the recruits will quickly transform into veterans.

Of course, the premise is that they have to survive.

Looking further down, near the space fortress Ilsha is the home turf of Li Chengxi and Hall.

Just as Li Chengxi himself said, the space fighters and magic mechas of the Red Maple Republic are simply endless. It always feels that no matter how crazy his kill numbers increase, at a glance the total number seems to have never decreased.

Not only that, some shuttles and armored transport ships have approached the fortress. Li Chengxi opened the box of an armored transport ship, and a large number of human body parts burst out. Sometimes, soldiers who were not dead could be seen struggling in the void.

The situation has become critical and the enemy has begun to invade the fortress.

"Location confirmed, communication good, you can proceed."

Hearing Hall's words, Li Chengxi pressed the button on the beam saber.

Almost at the same time, the high-temperature beam pierced through the rock outer layer of the fortress, leaving a hole that was still glowing red.

"Received communication from the fortress's defense forces, confirming that the enemy invading team has been eliminated."

The infantry squad was trying to cross the passage, but they could not expect to turn around and have beam sabers pierce down from above their heads. The high temperature vaporized the squad in an instant, or at least it was only a moment, and they died peacefully.

Li Chengxi had just plugged the beam saber back in to charge when several tracer bullets mixed with ion beams fired at him.

He held up his shield to block the Silver Tornado, and the beam Balkan cannons on both sides of his head and the 40mm rapid-fire cannon in the Silver Tornado's hand fired at the three-plane formation diving diagonally upwards.

Just now, most of the enemy planes were only operating at low altitudes over the fortress, but now they have reached the surface of the fortress. The situation is indeed becoming increasingly grim.
