EVE: Starting with a Space Station - Chapter 567

c556 Gutu’s Counterattack (Part 2)

At the border of the eastern star region, Gutu led his Shadow Serpent Fifth Super Flagship Fleet to the predetermined combat target. The undisguised team made the three major civilizations react quickly.

The fleet at the target location was ready, and the duty fleets of several fortresses around were quickly dispatched. Even the fortress fleets a little further away were on the way. Before Gutu arrived, they had assembled nearly two army groups to wait for him.

It was not that they were making a fuss, but the lessons they had learned from the battles in recent days.

At the beginning, several battle fleets had to kill through a fully staffed small aircraft carrier fleet. Although they could not escape destruction in the end, they also caused very heavy losses.

Later, after seeing the combat effectiveness of the Serpentis Group, they chose to form a joint duty fleet this time and use their absolute superiority in force to crush it.

Otherwise, if the fleets were equal or even slightly more, they would be ruthlessly crushed by the Serpentis Fleet.

This time, the Serpentis Group did not fight as usual, but sent out a whole super flagship fleet. How could they not worry?

The two armies are just the existing ones, and there will be other super flagship fleets coming later. What they have to do is to delay the super flagship fleet of the Serpentis Group, and then use the fleet of the fleet to overwhelm them!

And this is what Gutu expected. The more enemies he attracted here, the smoother the actions of Cormac Vaga will be!

So after reaching the battlefield, Gutu did not choose to attack directly, but used interceptors to build a circle of defensive interception force fields within tens of thousands of kilometers around his own fleet, which delayed more time.

The two sides have been confronting each other for two hours. As the enemy fleet completed the encirclement and the farthest fleet arrived, the enemy took the lead in launching an attack.

The enemy, with the size of an army, set up a standard fire output formation right in front of Gutu’s fleet.

The five super flagship fleets all found the right attack angle in front, which allowed the Gutu fleet to enter the wide angle of attack of the entire group army, so that their firepower would not be wasted at all, and all could be poured on the Gutu fleet.

The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and Gutu also fought back vigorously.

For the Tianshe Group, the best defense is offense!

Powerful firepower is the support for the charge, and solid defense is the best guarantee. Lock, attack, and charge, this is the style of the Tianshe Group!

Moreover, facing this formation that can concentrate firepower, Gutu’s decision is the most correct choice. Otherwise, if he really follows the original hedgehog formation, his fleet will definitely not last for the scheduled time.

After all, these are not the trash fish in the Eastern Star Region. If they really want to concentrate firepower to attack, even the Conqueror Titan will not last long under the maintenance of the combat auxiliary fleet, because the attack it bears directly exceeds the upper limit of maintenance!

Once the Titans on the periphery are destroyed, the hedgehog formation will no longer exist, so Gutu chose to counterattack without hesitation after seeing the opponent’s attack formation.

Only by rushing in, disrupting the opponent’s formation, and fighting together in close combat, can the absolute firepower advantage of the Serpentine warship be brought into play!

The opponent may not have expected that the Gutu fleet would choose to counterattack so decisively, but now it is too late for them to react. The light and heavy interceptors of the Gutu fleet rushed into their formation first and intercepted all the flagships.

Then, the flagship of the Gutu fleet also rushed in and engaged the enemy in close combat!

The Iron Cavalry carrier-based aircraft cluster flew like a swarm of bees, bringing death to the enemy; the hot projectiles of the hybrid guns quickly melted through the enemy’s shields and hulls; and the combat auxiliary fleet accurately searched for each friendly warship that was attacked for repair.

Under Gutu’s command, the enemy’s entire army, five super flagship fleets, were broken up into dozens of small battlefields, and the enemy who did not expect this situation could only fight on their own, and the battle process was one-sided.

Seeing that his five super flagship fleets became so unbearable under the impact of Gutu’s fleet, the enemy’s commander-in-chief made a decision that made him regret for the rest of his life in a hurry.

Not only did his commander not choose to let other fleets pull away to attack, but he ordered the remaining fleets to rush forward, hoping to use the advantage of numbers to quickly eliminate the Sky Serpent Fleet and rescue the entangled friendly forces.

And it was this decision that allowed Gutu to seize the opportunity!

Looking at the swarming enemy fleet, Gutu’s originally calm face first showed a touch of surprise, and then the corners of his mouth rose wildly.

“What a good opportunity!”

Then Gutu first shrank the fleet to attract the enemy fleet deeper, and then seized the opportunity to order the fleet to attack quickly.

Twenty Conqueror-class Titans and the Dreadnought Fleet first fired a round of Doomsday salvos to disperse the enemy’s camp, and then the heavy bomber cavalry carrier-based aircraft cluster of the Hatred-class super aircraft carrier took off to launch bombs. After a series of operations, nine out of ten of the enemy’s conventional fleets were destroyed, leaving only the flagship fleet.

Then, while the enemy had not yet reacted to the Doomsday salvo, Gutu led the fleet to press forward again.

This time there was no conventional fleet confrontation. Gutu’s conventional fleet acted quickly and wiped out all the enemy’s interception ships.

Then the interception ships of our side also quickly intercepted the enemy flagships, and kept a safe distance. When the interception force field was about to disappear, they rushed in to replenish the force field again. The enemy had no conventional fleet to destroy these interception ships. Unless the interception ammunition was used up, Gutu could leave all the flagships here even if all the flagships were dead!

Its strategic goal has been achieved!

Now Gutu only needs to ensure the survival of the interception ships, and the large and small flagships can attack desperately. Now the flagships of both sides are mixed together. It is impossible not to determine the winner. They can only fight to the death!

Although the enemy has a huge advantage in the number of flagships, it is fortunate that Gutu has separated these fleets before, which reduces the pressure to the minimum, and it is still a close battle, which makes the power of the hybrid guns of the Tianshe Group fully exerted.

At least in terms of close combat firepower, Gutu’s flagship fleet is not worse than these enemy fleets!

At every moment, both sides would have flagships explode into a ball of fireworks and turn into wreckage, and the two sides launched a high-intensity tug-of-war.

The battle has become a competition of willpower since the initial tactics, and in this regard, it is obvious that the Gutu fleet, which is composed of one person, is much better.

Gutu has a combat auxiliary fleet, and the opponent also has the help of a small aircraft carrier equipped with a flagship machine repair device, so both sides know that if the opponent’s logistics is not eliminated, the battle will be very difficult to fight, so they all choose to eliminate the opponent’s logistics flagship first.

But compared with the Gutu fleet’s combat auxiliary fleet that is completely exposed after the charge, the enemy’s logistics flagship is more in number, and some of them are hiding behind the main fleet and cannot be attacked. If this continues, the Gutu fleet will lose its logistics flagship before the enemy.

At that time, there will be no help from the logistics flagship, but the enemy will have it, and then the flagship battle at that time will be much more difficult to fight.

Although the opponent is not a professional combat auxiliary ship, but a small aircraft carrier equipped with a low-end version of the flagship repairer, it can’t compare with itself in terms of maintenance volume, but it can’t withstand the enemy’s large number!

At that time, the situation that was hard to obtain will be reversed, so after noticing this, Gutu also quickly changed tactics, gave up the original goal, and all fleets began to clear the enemy’s dreadnoughts.

As long as the enemy’s firepower output is removed first, then even if the logistics flagship of the own side is gone, the enemy’s firepower will also be reduced, and the two sides will be brought to the same conditions in disguise!

Moreover, compared with Titans and aircraft carriers, this dreadnought cannot accept external maintenance after the battle module is activated, and it can’t move at all, which is a very good target for Gutu’s fleet!

After seeing Gutu’s actions, the enemy commander also thought of this, but he was anxious, but he had no way.

Because he knew that if he gave up on clearing the logistics flagship of the Gutu Fleet and turned to attack the dreadnought, the Gutu Fleet would definitely turn the tables because of these logistics flagships.

They had already noticed this from the intelligence they had collected countless times. When going to war with New Eden, they needed to find a way to clear its logistics flagship first. This was the experience and lesson they had learned with blood in the last war.

The two sides fought back and forth for a full thirteen hours!

Finally, as there was no longer any target in the locking system, Gutu came back to his senses somewhat numbly.

The interception ammunition of the light interception fleet was used up, and the heavy interceptor was also worn out by the enemy flagship’s close defense gun during this period, and it was no longer possible to prevent the enemy from evacuating.

As the interception force field on the battlefield disappeared, the enemy fleets all chose to evacuate through hyperspace jumps, leaving only debris scattered across the starry sky.

Their commander had died in a doomsday fire two hours ago, and even the basic command staff were almost killed or injured. Now these guys who had lost their fighting spirit in the fierce battle were naturally afraid to run as fast as they could.

Gutu came out of the space capsule, sat on the chair and lit a cigarette for himself tremblingly. After blowing out a smoke ring, a smile appeared on his face.

“This time, I am very competitive. I should be able to get closer to you.”

As a planet left with the orbit, the light of the star shone into the battlefield. Several Conqueror-class Titans covered with dense scars stood on the battlefield, surrounded by large and small warship fragments.

With a super flagship fleet facing two armies head-on, they won the final victory in a one-to-ten situation.

This battle was enough to make Gutu, the new official of New Eden, resound throughout the universe, and his information would appear on the desks of the heads of various civilizations after the war.
