Novel Full Chapter 1235: Confused command
Although the results on the outer battlefields were remarkable.
However, the core battlefield targeting the Level 5 alien species has reached a stalemate.
Among combat forces of the same level, alien creatures are second only to interstellar warships, but are dozens of times stronger than interstellar fighters of the same level.
Therefore, to eliminate a creature of the same level using interstellar fighters, at least ten times the number would be needed for a chance of victory.
But this is only one possibility.
so.
Despite losing five T5 Dragon Fang fighters, they still failed to capture the target, a Level 5 alien.
"All channels broadcast, this is the 13th Fleet."
Based on the assessment, planet T77 has been severely invaded by alien species and is no longer defensible.
From this moment forward, all personnel on this planet should evacuate as soon as possible.
The Thirteenth Fleet awaited outside the planet to receive all evacuated interstellar warships, interstellar transport ships, and other spacecraft such as shuttles.
Twenty minutes later, the Thirteenth Fleet will conduct an orbital bombardment of the planet.
"Repeat it..."
Zhao Chen listened to the broadcast with surprise.
Orbital bombardment in twenty minutes?
According to Zhao Chen's memories, this body belonged to a soldier stationed on this planet.
Although this planet is not a large planet, it has a population of three billion!
How could they possibly evacuate everyone within twenty minutes?
Even withdrawing one percent would be considered quite good.
Issuing this order is tantamount to sentencing the civilians on this planet to death.
They can evacuate within these twenty minutes.
Only military personnel, and those high-ranking officials and nobles who own interstellar transport ships and private shuttles.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but frown.
But his current status is that of a soldier, and he has no ability to intervene in these matters.
"All flight squadron members, listen to my command."
The original combat mission was cancelled, and they immediately withdrew from the battlefield at full speed and flew away from this planet.
Requesting to land on the seventeenth fleet's carrier starship!
Hearing that they were withdrawing from the battlefield.
Zhao Chen could hear some people breathing a sigh of relief coming from the command channel.
It seems that they themselves believe there is no hope of winning this planetary war.
If they evacuate now, they still have a chance to survive.
In an instant, the fighter pilots steered their interstellar fighters to rapidly retreat from the battlefield.
Even their maneuverability far surpassed that of previous battles.
but!
Unexpectedly, the level 5 alien species that had been attacked but not eliminated seemed to have been angered.
They have no intention of letting these attackers go.
It roared and then, leading a circle of other creatures, chased after them.
One of the last Dragon Fang fighters to evacuate was quickly surrounded by these alien species.
Damn it!
I've been caught by a mutant!
Requesting support, requesting support.
My Star Shield defense is almost depleted...
Damn it... I got hit.
Support... support..."
The voice abruptly stopped on the command channel.
It's obvious what happened.
Zhao Chen glanced behind him and saw that the Dragon Fang fighter jet had been surrounded by aliens, turned into a fireball, and was falling towards the ground.
But more alien species continued to pursue them.
These guys are really bad at fighting.
Zhao Chen listened to the squad leader, who had not given any further orders since the start of the evacuation.
It was only because of the superior speed of his partially modified and upgraded Dragon Tooth fighter that he was able to withdraw the fastest.
The army is withdrawing, whether it's starfighters or starships.
Issuing a retreat order does not mean the end of a battle.
This is even a very important point.
What might have been a 30% loss could have been annihilated without a detailed retreat plan.
Charlotte had previously shared with Zhao Chen that when she was fighting in the Revolutionary Army, she lost every single battle.
But she always managed to preserve as much of her strength as possible during her retreat.
Charlotte said it.
A commander who can win battles is a qualified commander.
An excellent commander is one who can win battles and control his own losses.
A truly powerful commander is one who can minimize his own losses even after a defeat!
Zhao Chen kept maneuvering the Dragon Fang fighter jet to climb higher and higher.
He was also keeping an eye on the situation.
Their flight squadron originally consisted of thirty Dragon Fang fighters.
In the previous air battle, one-third of them were lost.
Meanwhile, the alien species were relentlessly pursuing them from behind.
This has already resulted in three Dragon Fang fighter jets being caught up and destroyed.
Zhao Chen looked at his flight data.
I don't know if it's because of the previous maneuvers or the nature of the Dragon Fang fighter jet, but the flight speed has never been able to reach its maximum.
Given this situation, Zhao Chen's XG091 will be caught up sooner or later, and there will be no time to evacuate to outer space.
Behind Zhao Chen, there were still six XG091s.
Zhao Chen had already reached a conclusion in his mind.
Without any intervention, this kind of evacuation would be a complete disaster.
Ultimately, no more than five Dragon Fang fighter jets will be able to successfully evacuate.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Chen pressed the communication button on the command channel.
"I am XG091, I am XG091."
If we were to evacuate under these circumstances, all of our Dragon Fang fighters would be caught up by the aliens, and we would have no way to evacuate safely.
Rather than being killed one by one by the alien species.
I have a plan.
But we need your cooperation.
I know you may not believe me.
If you don't believe me, then I have nothing more to say.
In any case, death happens to everyone one after the other.
I just don't want to die without having tried anything!
Whether or not to take control of one's own destiny.
I leave the choice to you all.
As Zhao Chen finished speaking...
A reply came immediately from the command channel.
“I am XG722, and I am willing to assist. Please give me your instructions.”
"XG877, tell me what to do!"
"XG176, I...I'm being caught up."
XG091, please help me!
...
More and more people are speaking on the command channel.
Zhao Chen didn't wait long, only giving them ten seconds to think.
They simply muted all of their microphones.
He began issuing combat orders.
After listening to Zhao Chen's orders.
The fighter pilots naturally agreed, because it wasn't them who were taking the risk, but the XG091 itself.
At the same time, they also trusted the XG091 very much, because its previous performance was enough to convince them.
"good.
Five seconds later, the operation began. "Zhao Chen gave his final instructions.
Then he took a deep breath and performed a 180° spin on the spot on his Dragon Fang fighter jet.
Face the alien species that are pursuing us from below!
