Chapter 1477: Crimson Galaxy Suppression Operation (4)

The Red Maple Republic is now facing a situation almost the same as that of the Whirlpool Federation.

There are not enough troops and supplies, and the enemy is about to attack us.

The only difference is that the Red Maple Republic has greater strategic depth. After all, they don't have a star gate, and the counterattack of the Xuanshui Federation cannot directly penetrate the capital galaxy of the Red Maple Republic.

As a big country with a population of tens of billions, its war mobilization capability is extremely terrifying. The Red Maple Republic also began to fight desperately at this time, even taking out retired and sealed carrier-based aircraft.

The pilots of these space fighters are likely to come from civil aviation. Some of them are cannon fodder who have taken a week-long theoretical course and trained casually on a simulator before being sent to the battlefield.

But it must be said that the number is really sufficient. The fleet that Li Chengxi and Hall saw alone was at least over 500, and the enemy's aircraft carriers were still launching catapults continuously.

Li Chengxi is indeed awesome, but he can't be invincible. There are dozens of carrier-based aircraft in the asteroid belt, and Li Chengxi is not afraid, but if the number exceeds three digits, he has to think carefully.

He immediately led Hall back into the meteorite belt. Hall immediately informed the friendly forces of the discovery of a large number of enemy aircraft. The ensuing melee in the meteorite belt would probably be very intense.

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

This forced the Swan to revise its route. Originally planning to make a circle and get out of the meteorite belt, it now had to change its plan. All warships descended on the spot and tried to stay away from the meteorite belt as much as possible. From this position with the meteorite belt overhead, they engaged in an artillery battle with the enemy cruise ship formation outside the meteorite belt.

There are no advantages or disadvantages to this position. The advantage is that it can avoid sudden torpedo attacks, and the enemy is actually just the planetary defense force. The quality of their ships is not as good as that of the regular army. Adopting a bombardment strategy is actually beneficial to the Rotating Water Federation.

But if possible, Alyssa didn't want to adopt this strategy, because her idea was very similar to Li Chengxi's. A head-on confrontation would inevitably result in losses.

The ship's guns kept repeating the cycle of charging, firing, recharging, refiring, and finally cooling down. The Swan was not afraid of the bombardment at all.

After all, the Swan, which has undergone many modifications, is simply a destroyer in the guise of a cruiser and is extremely strong.

But friendly forces are not like that.

The command system could see the names of warships that were reported damaged or even destroyed. Although the enemy suffered more serious losses in the bombardment, Alyssa felt uncomfortable with each dimming of the names.

As the saying goes, a merciful army cannot be commanded. When on the battlefield, one must be aware that both the enemy and oneself will suffer losses. However, Alyssa has never been able to adapt to suffering losses. The recycler's habit is to pick up the good ones and run away when it is time to know the situation.

"Enemy carrier-based aircraft have broken through the blockade, torpedoes are coming!"

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

But this time, perhaps because there were too many carrier-based aircraft, the anti-aircraft guns were overwhelmed and some friendly warships were hit by torpedoes, but the number was still not enough. Even the cruise ship's shield could withstand one or two torpedoes without any problem.

Not to mention the Swan, it had enough time to maneuver when it saw the torpedo. After all, it was the fastest legendary ship in the void.

"Have Hall and Li Chengxi returned?"

"Not yet. They are probably entangled by the swarm of aircraft."

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

But this time there was no time limit. Unlike the previous race against time to retake the star gate, Alyssa quickly and calmly thought about countermeasures and rearranged the formation and route.

We should not be in a hurry this time, we should play it safe. The ones who should be anxious are the enemy.

Indeed, in terms of the main fleet, the Red Maple Republic was at an absolute disadvantage. If it did not retreat, it would only be a matter of time before it was destroyed.

It's nonsense to think that the planetary defense team can stop the main fleet with just these junks. Theoretically, it won't be a problem for Alyssa to fight with them here for a day or two.

But as I said, there are still few fools in this world.

The current situation of the Maple Republic, even if the war reports shown to the common people are exaggerated, don't their leaders know how bad the situation is? Just fool your brothers, don't fool yourself.

In this absolutely unfavorable situation, the enemy's main fleet still did not choose to retreat, exchanging strategic depth for time, which in itself shows that the other side must have a backup plan.

Alyssa thought of the Crystal Gap trigger found on the Silver Gear. She didn't know how many of these things the Red Maple Republic had. What was certain was that once the time came to use them, the other party would definitely not hesitate to perish together with the Whirlpool Federation's fleet.

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

"Bearing 103, fire torpedoes, then ships 20 to 60 will create a smoke screen."

The shooting situation was clearly advantageous, so Alyssa's command seemed redundant.

At this distance, it is almost impossible for a torpedo to hit the target. It is simply better to hit the target than not to hit the target. The release of a smoke screen is even more inexplicable. Doesn't it mean blocking the sight of the side that has the advantage of the bombardment?
Alyssa's goal was not to destroy the opponent, but to see how the opponent would react.

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

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

But as soon as the Swan, which had completed its turn under the cover of smoke, emerged, Alyssa saw that the planetary defense force was almost standing still, not moving at all, and just firing a few shots at them from a distance.

Sure enough, there is something fishy!

These guys didn't keep up, probably because they were afraid that they would also be caught up in some kind of attack. Moreover, they were still very far away from the habitable planet, and even if the fortress cannons were fired from the spaceport in orbit of their planet, they would not be able to reach it.

Then, the reason why they are afraid of being involved is obvious.

"Keep sending out smoke. The entire fleet will turn to the new route."

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

At this time, Villania said:
"Friendly communication coming in."

"Take it to 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. Are you in trouble? We will soon approach to provide support."

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

"The enemy's use of the meteorite belt to launch sneak attacks and harass us has indeed caused some trouble. We need your support, but the enemy seems to have set a trap. Please do not approach the star field we marked to avoid heavy losses."

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

Soon, a number of cruise ships appeared 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 military strength, and reinforcements can arrive at any time.

Now the pressure is on the side of the Red Maple Republic. They failed to let Alyssa fall into the trap, and they are about to be breached head-on.

Alyssa estimated that they would definitely do something desperate.

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

"A spatial transfer signal has been detected. A crystal gap has opened nearby!"

These guys really used it!
