1438 Heavy casualties
"I understand!" Ye Fei said, "But I reserve my opinion. The 13th Army, the 24th Army and the Xinya fleet do not change the light shield. You can wait until you need it before coming through the portal. It is better to leave the fleet at the base star. When will I need it and when will I set out? It's amazing to open a few more portals."
Xu Shijie nodded and said, "Okay, I will arrange the fleet's affairs and you can find a way to annihilate the enemy as soon as possible."
Although Xu Shijie didn't say much, Ye Fei immediately understood what he meant.
It is good to leave some enemy ships as bait to lure the large army of the Zhen clan, but wouldn’t it be better to wipe out the enemy with a thunderous force and make them dare not send troops rashly?
But the opponent finally seized the strategic initiative, how could he give up the advantage he had tried his best to gain so easily? Moreover, the previous confrontation between the two sides was only evenly matched. What did he do to eliminate the enemy as soon as possible?
When Ye Fei thought of this, he suddenly realized that Xu Shijie's heart was already in chaos. Otherwise, he would never have been willing to empty the most critical base star in order to annihilate this enemy of unknown origin and sent out all the mobile power at hand!
Could it be that the Base Star has any secret powerful weapons? Or is there any powerful back-up at the headquarters?
Many different versions of speculation rushed through Ye Fei's heart like a revolving lantern, but they could not find any substantial evidence to support those speculations in the foggy way.
Shaking his head and putting aside his messy thoughts in his heart, Ye Fei pulled his attention back to the battlefield.
The power impact ship is still shuttled through, and the battle has entered a new stage where you can't beat me, and I can't beat you. It's not like a life-and-death battle, but like a juggling rehearsed in advance.
Ye Fei was hesitating whether to gather the power impact ship and find another way to solve the enemy. The enemy ships that had not been moved on the main screen suddenly opened their screens together, and they were stymied to escape.
What's the enemy going to do?
Ye Fei, who was unknown, immediately shouted: "Stop the attack--"
The power impact ships that were drilling around stopped one by one, but the fluctuations in the space were still spreading slowly, and it took at least ten minutes to dissipate.
Even if Ye Fei immediately sent all the warships, no one could guarantee that he could successfully find the enemy ship before it entered the light screen. At this point, he could only watch the enemy leave.
However, the enemy's main force had already escaped, and the remaining more than 200 light-screen ships were just small heads. Escape had no effect on the overall situation, and the total annihilation was not considered a big gain.
Ye Fei couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Now, don't worry so much uselessness anymore. Ruan Peng, notify Jiang Yufei to withdraw to the base star; notify the aircraft carrier battle group to enter the battlefield to clean up the battlefield and rescue survivors; inform the biological battleship group to patrol the battlefield and keep alert. Prevent the enemy from hiding around."
The enemy is gone, and there is no need for the Second Army and the Fifth Army to come to support each other from afar; cleaning the battlefield is just a routine matter after the battle, and the chance of surviving a wreck in this environment is very small, so you can do your best to do your job. On the contrary, the task assigned to the biological warship group is the most important, so as not to be ambushed by the enemy.
The surviving main warships were not assigned tasks to prevent the enemy from suddenly firing a backlash.
"Yes!" Ruan Peng was ordered to convey the order.
Ye Fei arranged the follow-up affairs, but his heart could not calm down.
On the surface, this battle successfully drove away the invading enemies, but in fact, the Zhen clan took the initiative to withdraw from the battle.
Advance can attack and retreat and defend. The strategic initiative remains in the hands of the enemy.
The most troublesome thing is that you can't figure out why the enemy is withdrawing. From now on, the base star will definitely turn into a huge military camp.
In contrast, Base Star dispatched seven biological warship groups, two route battle groups and the basically full 38th Army. As a result, the participating troops suffered heavy losses and their strength was lost by more than half. No matter how they looked at it, they were all humans who lost a big loss.
In the dark, he had a premonition that the enemy would never give up, and today's battle was just the beginning.
The more I thought about it, the more irritated Ye Fei felt. He thought of connecting the communications from the headquarters and directly found Xu Shijie: "Chief, the enemy has been withdrawn. It is my responsibility to not be able to leave them behind."
Xu Shijie's expression was much more relaxed than before, and he looked relieved: "It's good to evacuate it, it's just a matter of time to evacuate the base star."
"Chief, what should I do next?" Ye Fei always felt that there was an unconcealable fatigue in Xu Shijie's tone. Perhaps Xu Shijie had no intention of hiding it at all.
"What else can I do? Take it back. We may not have the luck of this time when the Zhen Clan comes back next time." Xu Shijie fell back in the chair, staring at the ceiling with his eyes, but the focal length of his pupils was clearly not on the ceiling.
"Yes!" Ye Fei's voice was as heavy as his mood, but he didn't know what words to use to comfort Xu Shijie.
Suddenly, Xu Shijie's expression changed. Xu Shijie's mouth opened and closed quickly on the screen, but no sound came out. It was obvious that he had received a communication from someone.
Ye Fei took a deep breath until his entire chest was full. Then he held this breath in his lungs. After holding it for a few seconds, he exhaled all his breath, as if he had spitted out all his unpleasant moods, as if he had relaxed a lot: "Ruan Peng, inform the aircraft carrier battle group to speed up and prepare to go back."
"Yes... the boss, the headquarters' notice, the 16th Army's Zhen tribe withdraws from the battle, our fleet is cleaning the battlefield, our army... suffers heavy losses." Ruan Peng's voice became smaller and smaller, and when he spoke the last four words, it was as light as if he was whispering.
Ye Fei sighed: "Have the detailed loss information been sent?"
"Sent here!"
"Read it." Ye Fei said.
"Yes!" Ruan Peng took a breath, as if doing so would give him courage. "The 16th Army was almost wiped out, leaving only two heavily damaged warships, commander Lieutenant General Zhang Ping died; the 17th Army's warships sank 67, severely damaged 14, only the headquarters of the group army was unharmed; the 65th Army's sank 54, severely damaged 21, and slightly injured nine Chief He died; the 27th Army's sank 52 warships sank 32, severely damaged 32, and flagships sank, but Commander Liu is fine; the 31st Army's sank 49, severely damaged 35, and Commander Xu was seriously injured; the main force of the 39th Army lost more than half; the main force of the Sixth Army's main force... The casualties of each unit are currently unknown."
