Chapter 1532： Light and darkness

Bakaroff put the order from Marshal Lawnes aside, and said helplessly: "We can't let the enemy see it, which means we can't retreat without loss. This is really a distressing decision. It's."

"There is no way, if we give up Higgs 5 unharmed, then the other party will definitely suspect that we are digging a hole." The adjutant smiled and explained.

After all, even if it’s acting, the losses on the battlefield will not be fake. Those are real losses. Real battleships are destroyed by enemy real shells. Real battles are accompanied by real deaths.

No one really wants to be treated as cannon fodder. Those who are willing to give their lives to victory are true warriors worthy of admiration.

Those so-called brave men who shouted and rushed towards the dragon with their swords had nothing to show off. What people really deserve to remember is the heroes who blocked the eye-catching bunker.

"But if we lose some warships and then give up Higgs 5, then the opponent is likely to attack our hinterland along the position we gave up." The adjutant continued, his words full of regret and regret. I can hear a bit of admiration.

"Well, decide which fleet to perform? This may be the most expensive and scariest acting in the world." Bakaroff looked at the Chief of Staff of the 2nd Fleet who had already seen the battle plan.

The chief of staff replied: "Marshal Lawnes will personally lead the 1st fleet to give up their position, and they will lose some warships... However, at the same time as the loss, he will also give the opponent a cruel one."

"Are you afraid to beat the opponent away?" Bakaroff smiled, and then these smiles quickly disappeared from his face.

Even if his second fleet is not the main attack this time, the task is relatively simple, but the pressure on his shoulders can still be described as immense.

To be honest, he really couldn't laugh, because he was also facing the watchman's huge fleet, and the same mistakes could not be made.

After all, he also holds a huge fleet in his hand, almost two-thirds of the total number of warships in the 1st fleet, all of which are in his 2nd fleet!

The chief of staff said: "Marshal Lawnes means that if the opponent is scared away by such a small loss, then they are not worthy of a war of attrition with us."

"Okay! Let's cooperate." Bakaroff rubbed his hands, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or others.

"We really need our cooperation! Marshal Lawnes' plan is that when they can't stop the enemy's attack from the front and start to retreat, we are responsible for attacking the enemy's fleet from the flanks and destroying as many enemy warships as possible." The leader marked the offensive route of the 2nd Fleet on the star chart, and said to Bakaroff.

His hand outlined a route on the star map, and then indicated the enemy's position: "Then the enemy will enter the Higgs 5 low-Earth orbit along the position made by the 1st Fleet. If you don’t guess wrong, If so, the opponent will destroy Higgs 5 or land on Higgs 5."

"Marshal Lawnes is so sure that the guards will follow our planned route and break into Higgs 5?" Bakaroff narrowed his eyes and suggested a loophole in the plan.

The chief of staff took out a copy of the analysis report and handed it to Bakaroff: "According to the computer’s prediction, the probability of the guards using the warship to destroy the Higgs 5 is not higher than 7%, and the rest Ninety-three percent of them, they all want to send landing troops to fight with our garrison troops on the surface of the planet."

"Ninety-three percent? So sure?" Bakaroff reached out his hand and grabbed the piece of paper, and after careful inspection, he handed it back to the chief of staff: "You continue."

"Yes, because the other party seems to be more willing to destroy any traces of civilization, rather than destroying the planet itself." The chief of staff took the call and continued.

"It sounds like that, but using so many soldiers to test a result is a bit..." Bakaroff thought of the garrison on the ground again.

"Actually, all our troops deployed on Higgs 5 have been replaced. The main force originally stationed on Higgs 5 has been transported to Higgs 3 and 4... …" The chief of staff explained immediately.

It is also impossible for the Ailan Hill Empire to take the lives of real people to risk. The remaining on the Higgs 5 are basically "inhuman forces."

Those remaining troops are neither dwarf orcs nor human elves, nor are they demons or dragons. They are all cyborgs or puppet robots, and it seems appropriate to be used as cannon fodder.

"What are left there are 58 puppet robot divisions and 9 clone divisions, with a total force of about 2 million." The chief of staff briefly introduced the defensive deployment on the Higgs 5 planet.

Hearing his explanation, Bakaroff realized that since a long time ago, the strength of the Higgs 5 has not increased significantly.

In comparison, the number of fortifications and weapons on the Higgs 3 has been increasing, and the defensive force has already broken through the 10 million mark!

If it weren't for the previous uncertainty of the enemy's offensive direction, perhaps the garrison force on the planet Higgs 3 would have already reached 100 million.

Bakaroff nodded, feeling better: "Well, you said that, I feel a little better."

Afterwards, he looked at his adjutant and asked, "How long will the enemy army arrive?"

"In about two hours, Marshal Lawnes has ordered the warship driven by clones and robots to move forward." The adjutant replied immediately.

"He is really... cruel enough! Even if there are only dozens of cruisers, it is a sky-high price! He just pushes it to death without blinking his eyes?" It turned out to be cannon fodder, but when it was really sent out, Bakaroff still inevitably felt distressed.

That's a space battleship! It takes hundreds of thousands of tons of steel and other raw materials to build a space cruiser!

You know, the cost of building these cruisers, no matter how cheap it is, is calculated on the basis of 100 million! Such a huge investment is so easily discarded as cannon fodder, no matter who it is replaced, it will feel distressed.

Lawnes really feels distressed, just to make the other party believe that he wants to perform, and let the other party insist on putting their troops in the front, these efforts are worth it.

At least, for the entire fleet of the Ailan Hill Empire, the dozens of warships that went out this time were actually not a fatal loss.

To describe it as a drop in the bucket, it is not too much that the Ailan Hill Empire has too many warships. In fact, they can afford to lose ten times a hundred times.

Just when Bakaroff was distressed, an officer came over and reported the latest revised arrival time of the Watchers fleet: "The enemy has 90 minutes to arrive in the theater!"

...

On the ground of Higgs 5, all the troops of the Ailan Hill Empire have entered the bunker. They are looking up at the sky above their heads, waiting for the outbreak of a great war.

In fact, every one of them knows, knowing what the result of this battle is that the fleet will give up their position and let the enemy start landing here.

And they also know what their mission is. They have to fight here, fighting to the last second, lest the land behind them is ravaged by the enemy.

"The enemy has five minutes to enter the firing range of our fleet! The distance between the two sides is 4.5 million kilometers!" An officer reported to Lawnes.

Lawnes got up from his position, walked to the front of the porthole, and looked at the deep starry sky through his shadow.

Soon, in the dark sky, light began to appear. The beams of energy laser cannons flickered, and were finally submerged in a block of blackness.

The number of enemy fleets is too much, to the point where Lawnes looks a little numb. It was really a huge fleet covering the sky and the sun, so huge that there was almost no end in sight.

"The carrier-based aircraft is dispatched! Let them sink the enemy's battleship as much as possible!" Lawnes ordered.

"Yes!" The adjutant behind him stood up and saluted, and then left with the order. Lawnes looked at the distant warships again, watching the light gradually disappear under the darkness.

It was as if it had been swallowed by darkness. The fleet of the Alanhill Empire cruisers that came out lasted for less than five minutes before the entire army was annihilated and disappeared into the vast universe.

"Marshal's order! All carrier-based aircraft take off! The first round of strikes!" Grabbing the intercom in front of him, the aviation commander solemnly ordered: "Gentlemen, come back alive! Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!" Hearing the commander's command, all the pilots pressed their headsets and replied loudly with the same solemn voice: "Carrier-based aircraft take off! Engine start!"

Just like the first time, Fangtou Fangnao was like a super huge transport ship on the Giant Tier 2 super aircraft carrier, and the side decks slowly opened one after the other.

The small combat spacecraft that had been fixed on the launch arm were pushed out of the hull one by one, and then the ejection device pushed them into space.

The difference from the last time is that this time the carrier-based aircraft is equipped with nuclear bombs with armor-piercing warheads. This is a choice of weapons based on the experience of the previous battle.

Soon, these carrier-based planes that left the aircraft carrier and carried nuclear bombs with armor-piercing warheads slew into the distance like locusts.

Like the stars, the densely packed formations of ship-borne secrets, as numerous as the ocean, form a long galaxy in the universe.

The Milky Way passed the main fleet, passed Marshal Lawnes's side, and rushed toward the darkness in the distance.

The Ailanhill Empire fleet is like the light in the universe, the starry sky under the night, and the Watcher fleet, the ultimate darkness, is the most terrifying black hole in the universe.

"Marshal! The carrier-based aircraft force has been in contact with the enemy's warships! The two sides are fighting fiercely! A small spacecraft of the other side that we have never seen appeared on the battlefield. The watchers obviously also have warships like aircraft carriers. Using carrier-based aircraft to fight!" An aviation commander came over and reported to Marshal Lawnes.

"How's the battle going?" Lawnes looked at the opponent, almost reflexively asked.

He is waiting for this news. He wants to know how much trouble his carrier-based aircraft force has caused to the enemy.

If the carrier-based aircraft force plays well, then he can lead his main force, the 1st fleet, to get out of position.

On the one hand, Lawnes was also worried about playing the opponent too badly, and the opponent directly gave up this attack. On the other hand, he was unwilling to give up Higgs 5 easily, so he was unwilling to let go of annihilating the opponent's fleet. Opportunity.

"Our carrier-based aircraft is competing with the enemy for air supremacy. Although we have destroyed at least 50 enemy warships, the bombing opportunities of our carrier-based aircraft have disappeared because of the appearance of enemy carrier-based aircraft..." the air force liaison officer Replied with his chin held high.

Obviously, the attack this time was not as smooth as the previous one. Because of the participation of the enemy's carrier-based aircraft, the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft of the Ailan Hill Empire did not get any benefits.

"Aircraft carrier... there are also aircraft carriers... It's okay to be cautious!" Lawnes frowned and muttered. He really didn't expect that the other party had similar aircraft carriers that could launch carrier-based aircraft to compete with the enemy for air supremacy. .

"The opponent is attacking our right flank! Our fleet is retreating backwards in an orderly manner..." The chief of staff of the 1st Fleet looked at the star map in front of him, watched the continuous compression of his right flank, and loudly reminded him. Ens Road.

Lawnes ignored the planned "retreat", he hummed, and then asked about the relocation of the logistics facilities behind him: "How about the retreat of the supply satellites and maintenance satellites along the way?"

If possible, he didn't want to leave a magnet to those guards! I don't want to leave a piece!

"From the moment your Majesty prepares to turn Higgs 5 into the front line, the relocation work has already been carried out." The general in charge of the matter immediately replied: "There are about 3 hours left, and we can just a little bit. Nothing is left for the other party!"

"It's really good news. I will give you another 2 hours at most. The rest... If you can't take it, you can blast or just abandon it." Of course, Lawnes can't give him another 3 hours. , Shook his head and said.

"Yes! I think we should be able to transport everything before the enemy arrives!" The general immediately stood up and saluted, and turned to urge the relocation work himself.

In fact, he didn't want to leave anything...not at all! ——

There may be another family dinner to be eaten tomorrow, and start to make up for it the day after tomorrow at the latest!
