Chapter 342 No Support

The feeling of oppression that life is in the midst of wind and rain, and may be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind, is unbearable for ordinary people.

Every actual combat is actually like this, and everyone will suffer this kind of pressure. However, in the battle with the lava beast, this pressure is greater and more obvious.

The reason is simple. This group of lava beasts is too fierce and the attack is too fierce.

This caused huge casualties to their side. Since the beginning of the war, more than 3,000 warships and more than 300,000 human soldiers have died.

However, the human soldiers who have undergone decades of hard training have shown unimaginable tenacity at this moment.

The huge fleet composed of 100,000 warships still has no scattered formation at this moment, and the intensity of the firepower network has not decreased at all!

The warships in front were destroyed, and the warships in the back immediately filled in.

The firepower network next to it was penetrated by the fierce attack of the lava beast, and a loophole appeared. Even if they knew that they would be concentrated fire if they went up, the warships next to them would maneuver over without hesitation to fill this loophole.

One after another, one after another, one after another.

Under this circumstance, the lava beast group on the other side of the battle line, which had suffered more than 30% casualties, finally couldn't hold on.

With the silent roar of one of the particularly large lava beasts, the remaining approximately 20,000 lava beasts turned around at the same time and began to flee away from the human fleet.

The battle was over.

Lu Xinghe watched these fleeing lava beasts coldly and did not order a pursuit.

Our strategic goal has been initially achieved. It is not rational to go deep rashly.

From this moment on, Planet 4 temporarily fell into human control.

The rest of the satellites of Planet 4 were not attacked by humans. However, even the satellite 43, where a large number of lava beasts gathered, was lost, and the lava beasts on the other satellites obviously ran away.

After reviewing this battle, Lu Xinghe had a deeper understanding of Luo Zhaoyangdong's original words.

"The more you fear death, the more you die. The less you fear death, the less you die."

Recalling the previous battle and the fierce attack of the lava beast, Lu Xinghe knew that if his side failed to withstand the attack at that time, resulting in a scattered formation, loopholes in the firepower network, or even chaos and escape, then the only outcome for his side would be to be divided and annihilated by the lava beast in the chaos.

It is very likely that half of the 100,000 warships that participated in the first battle will be killed, not to mention being completely wiped out.

The most important thing is that in this way, the human side will lose more courage to confront the lava beast head-on. In the subsequent offensive battle, it will only collapse faster.

Fortunately, the human warriors passed this test.

"Sure enough, the lava beast is the most suitable target for us. For other civilizations, even if they are rated 3.8 or 3.9, as long as they are not the fourth-level civilization with a qualitative change in combat power, as long as they cannot fight to the death, they will be defeated by the lava beast."

After occupying Planet No. 4 and its satellites, the heavily guarded aerospace motherships, logistics fleets, etc. can finally start logistics construction operations.

More than 100 million engineers and workers, as well as a huge amount of machinery, have descended on Satellite No. 43 and launched large-scale construction activities.

A series of factories and facilities such as spacecraft docks, field hospitals, land-based air defense bases, and automated combat facilities have been built.

After completing the construction of the logistics system, another crucial task began.

The construction of the planetary propulsion plant.

The lava that was penetrated by the lava beasts through the earth's crust, emerged from the core of the planet, and then cooled down contains a large number of rare minerals.

Rare earth elements, gold, silver, copper, iron, etc., are all available, just right for building huge mines to mine them and supply the construction and production of logistics and planetary propulsion plants.

Generally speaking, satellites are relatively barren due to their small size. Even if they are not barren, useful mineral resources are usually deposited in the core of the planet, making mining extremely difficult.

Satellite 43 was riddled with holes by lava beasts, but it just created a situation suitable for mining.

This is why Lu Xinghe set the first target planet as satellite 43.

Under this circumstance, huge mines emerged on the former lava lake, and huge supporting factories and assembly plants appeared.

More than 100 million engineers and workers, at least 100 times more robots and intelligent equipment began to produce on a very large scale at the same time.

After completing all these arrangements, Lu Xinghe divided the huge human fleet into three, with the smallest fleet stationed on Planet 4, the medium-sized fleet heading for Planet 5, and the largest fleet, with about 170,000 warships, heading directly to Planet 3.

Planet 3 is a large rocky planet. There are more than 100,000 lava beasts stationed on it.

One year later.

The human fleet won two battles, on the battlefields of Planet 5 and Planet 3, and the two human fleets won their respective victories, defeating the lava beasts stationed on and around these two planets.

A total of 230,000 warships participated in the battle, and in the battle with a total of 120,000 lava beasts, about 5,000 warships were destroyed, but a full 30,000 lava beasts were annihilated.

Although they were not completely annihilated, they achieved a further strategic goal: compressing the activity space of the lava beasts and making them gather towards Planet 1.

In the process, the lava beasts once again showed their extremely fierce fighting style, trying to break through the human front and crush the fighting will of the human warriors.

But unfortunately, they failed to achieve this goal. In front of the human warriors who would rather die than retreat, they retreated again.

After conquering the two planets, Lu Xinghe did not leave a fleet to garrison, but transported a large number of automated defense facilities from Planet 4 to provide basic protection for the two planets and the surrounding satellites.

It is obviously impossible to stop the attack of large-scale lava beasts by relying solely on the automated defense system. At most, it can only destroy or stop the attack of small groups of no more than 1,000 lava beasts.

This is enough. Because if there are more lava beasts, Lu Xinghe will send a fleet to directly block them.

Afterwards, the two fleets joined forces, and a total of about 220,000 warships converged on Planet 2 at the same time.

At this moment, only Planets 1 and 2 have large-scale lava beasts.

There are more than 150,000 lava beasts gathered on Planet 2. Lu Xinghe originally thought that this would be a tough battle. He had even prepared for more than 10,000 warships to be destroyed before he could occupy this planet, but something unexpected happened.

Before the huge fleet approached Planet No. 2, more than 150,000 lava beasts on this planet took off together, evacuated the planet on their own initiative, and gathered towards Planet No. 1 on their own initiative.

They... ran away.

Lu Xinghe directly accepted Planet No. 2 with a smile, and then set up an automated defense system to prevent small groups of lava beasts from approaching.

So far, the number of lava beasts in the YT-621 galaxy is estimated to be about 650,000, and more than 99% of them have gathered on Planet No. 1.

It can be said that the main force of the lava beasts has not been damaged. However, Planet No. 1, where heavy "troops" gather, has the most powerful combat power since the beginning of the war.

So far, Lu Xinghe's early strategy has been completed.

Planet No. 1 is obviously a tough nut to crack. The attack on Planet No. 1 is obviously a tough battle, an unprecedented overall decisive battle.

However, the mid-term strategy requires Lu Xinghe to win this battle. No matter what the price, no matter how many people die, how many warships are destroyed, it must be won.

In this way, the mid-term strategy can be completed, the conditions for the implementation of the later strategy can be created, and the entire war can be won.

For this tough battle, Lu Xinghe has made extremely sufficient preparations.

Planet No. 4, which has established a complete logistics system, has stored an extremely astonishing amount of war supplies.

Various parts, energy cannon projectiles of various specifications, fuel, various automated combat facilities, etc., are so large that they even require human aerospace motherships to transport.

All of this is produced by people themselves. Han Yang did not invest computing power and engineering capabilities here. Because at this moment, he has already invested most of his computing power in scientific research, and has no time to care about it.

The only hundreds of dummies can be completely ignored, and they are only set up to grasp the situation on the front line.

Here, more than 100 million engineers and workers have worked hard and risked their lives.

The soldiers on the front line were fighting bloody battles, and the workers in the rear were also fighting a desperate battle.

The factory was the battlefield, and the machine was the warship.

Under this circumstance, on the eve of the start of the mid-term strategy, the soldiers on the logistics battlefield completed the production needs as promised and sent countless war supplies to the front line.

Facing a total of about 650,000 powerful lava beasts, facing this powerful and strange life that can be called a biological warship, a total of 220,000 human warships and countless automated combat facilities began to attack at the same time.

Millions of electromagnetic guns and laser guns intertwined to form a powerful firepower network, interstellar mines and interstellar turrets bombarded fiercely, and micro interstellar missiles dragged long tail flames to and fro.

This place has turned into a fiery hell.

The lava beasts are obviously unwilling to give up this home where they have lived for thousands of years, and are unwilling to take all kinds of risks to embark on a doomed interstellar voyage.

Since they are unwilling to give up, the only way is to kill this group of hateful weak lives and destroy these damn steel warships.

The lava beasts defending Planet No. 1 have nowhere to retreat.

Their counterattack is more resolute and fiercer.

"Tan Jinlong, firepower point No. 9 must be defended, and sufficient firepower suppression must be maintained."

At the headquarters, Commander Lu Xinghe gave orders to the commander of the Seventh Fleet, Tan Jinlong, without any emotion.

There was a trace of struggle in Tan Jinlong's eyes, but only for a moment. The next moment, his eyes returned to coldness and rationality.

"114 fleets, defending firepower point No. 9, no support. Repeat, no support." (End of this chapter)
