    Chapter 224 The reaction of both the enemy and ourselves

    At the same time, Halifax was quietly waiting for the other party's response. The Imperial Alliance was too huge, and even its own people were often confused by the countless fleets of various countries.  Maybe it was one of our own fleets.  However, Halifax had ordered the fleet to prepare for evacuation, and the lack of response from the other party gave him a bad feeling.

    "My lord, the radar has detected the aftermath of space fluctuations nearby."

    The relevant battle report of the Battle of Minsk appeared in Halifax's mind inexplicably. "Order the fleet to retreat immediately, immediately!" Halifax yelled.  Damn it, this must be the fleet led by the young general of Charno.  Although it was just a guess, the soldier's unique intuition told him that his guess was correct.  "Send an alert to all Imperial forces in the sector, Charnor reinforcements are coming."

    Yi Lexiang helplessly looked at the imperial fleet that was evacuating towards the vast universe in a panic. Chen Yatian, who was standing beside him, subconsciously licked his lips and muttered to himself, "What a good piece of fat, just gone.  "

    "Wait for the next time, there is always a chance." Yi Lexiang patted Chen Yatian on the shoulder regretfully. The two looked like they were in the same boat, which made several commanders of the new army of the academy who were cooperating with Yi Lexiang for the first time secretly  laugh.  For some reason, following the young general on the expedition, the nervousness and uneasiness of the past disappeared without a trace. It seemed that they were not going to fight a life-or-death war, but to accept the fruits of victory.  Although this feeling is strange, it is endlessly memorable.  Several young commanders looked at each other and smiled. They saw in each other's eyes that each other felt similar to themselves deep in their hearts. It felt so good to follow this general on an expedition!  It would be a relaxing and enjoyable thing to follow this general in battle forever.

    "Order the fleet to move forward at full speed and target the planet Crete." Yi Lexiang ordered the fleet to move forward. There is no need to continue to hide the traces now.  Soon the news of a Charno fleet appearing in the Danube Star Territory will spread throughout the Star Territory.  Yi Lexiang was a little distressed by the huge amount of energy consumed by the space jump. He tapped his finger on the screen to see the imperial fleet that was gradually out of the radar scanning range. He made a note of this for the time being.

    Halifax gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even though he had doubts about the general's performance in his heart, this chance encounter still left him with lingering fears.  Sitting in a high-back chair and watching the orderly wipe the red wine that had been touched in a panic, Halifax fell into deep thought.  The only place in the Danube Star Territory that can arouse the interest of the Charno people is the Charno Corps on Crete that the Yale Beast is besieging.  But is a small local garrison worthy of General Charnot personally leading his troops?  this point is very important.  If it can be confirmed that the opponent's commander is the magical General Charno, then the Supreme Command will definitely be happy to send heavy troops to encircle and annihilate him.  On the contrary, even if this is an interstellar fleet with the ability to jump, it may be difficult to arouse the interest of the self-righteous bosses of the Supreme Command.  Halifax slowly retracted his hand that had reached for the emergency communicator, maybe he wanted to confirm it again.  Strong has made enough jokes. If Strong's empire becomes the laughing stock of the alliance again because of his overly sensitive nerves, his cold-blooded uncle may not let him go.

    "Order the fleet to turn around and let's go to Crete." Halifax thought about it again and again and chose what he thought was a safe approach.  In any case, there is an imperial main fleet stationed in the Danube Star Territory at the moment, as well as an attack fleet; and according to the analysis of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, Charno's eight main fleets have long been exhausted in several years of war, even if that  Even if the general is a genius, it is impossible for him to create a main fleet in a short time. He really shouldn't worry too much.

    Halifax sent his speculations to the starship command in the Danube Starfield, but his speculations about the Charnor commander were not mentioned.  An enemy fleet that was close to the size of the main fleet appeared inexplicably within its jurisdiction, which immediately attracted the attention and vigilance of Piros, the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Battle Group. His judgment was inconsistent with Halifax's inference.  Exactly the same, it is believed that the tactical purpose of this Charno fleet should be to rescue the Charno local army that was besieged on Crete.  After a short emergency consultation, a reinforcement fleet assembled from various space gate defense points set off for Crete.  Piros, who was prudent in his work, reported the situation to the Charno Theater Command, hoping that the Theater Command could send a support fleet.  However, after making great progress all the way, Charno, with its vast strategic depth, has made the huge imperial battle group in the Charno theater somewhat unable to meet its requirements. Currently, most of the legions are scattered within an area of ??ten light years, and the reinforcement fleet at the rear to fill the gaps in the theater is still there.  There was no hope, and in the end the theater headquarters rejected Pyros's request for reinforcements.  in ?In their eyes, the military value of the remote Danube star field is far less important than some other star fields with ecological planets.

    On Crete, after suffering heavy casualties, Sussman's operation to seize the landing site finally made substantial progress.  The Chalnor ground defenses were finally squeezed out of this area, and the cost was costly.  The battle number of the 5th Division, which was the first to land, completely disappeared from the battle sequence of the Yale Marine Corps. The battle loss rate of the two divisions invested later also exceeded 50%, and even the two divisions that were finally engaged in the ground battle to compete for the landing point were  The loss rate also reached 30%.  At present, the ground defense forces have been completely cleared, and large transport ships carrying soldiers have begun to land.  However, the violent artillery fire and the damage caused by the Charno people's evacuation almost destroyed most of the flat airfields. The engineering troops are intensively carrying out maintenance work, and large-scale airborne operations are not yet possible.

    What makes Sussman even more depressed is that he has just learned that a Charnian reinforcement fleet is rushing to the planet Crete, which means that his ground operations must speed up the attack.  The most ideal situation is to complete the ground attack before Charno reinforcements arrive on Crete.  But when he thought about that huge underground fortress, he felt a headache.  He kept urging the engineering commanders on the ground that he needed a larger landing field to deliver more troops and heavy weapons and equipment to the surface of Crete.

    On the other hand, Guan Xiaotian of the Sixth Army also felt uncomfortable.  His hesitation finally allowed the Imperials to gain a firm foothold.  Although the **3rd Division and the Armored Training Regiment defending the landing area tried their best, they were eventually forced to withdraw from the defense area because they had no backup.  They are currently evacuating towards the base. Behind them, the two ground divisions of the Empire are pressing forward step by step.  Guan Xiaotian, who lacked war experience, once again fell into hesitation. After the Imperials occupied the landing point, a steady stream of troops could pour down from space smoothly. Is it necessary to continue to defend other defense zones?

    He immediately summoned the combat staff of the headquarters to study the next combat plan. For these subordinates who had been following him for many years, Guan Xiaotian did not hide his embarrassment and expressed his doubts.  "What suggestions do you have?"

    The command room fell into a brief period of calm. Suddenly, a slightly younger voice broke the calm, "Retreat, all retreat to the base." Guan Xiaotian looked in the direction of the sound, and a childish face appeared in front of him.  In front of him, he looked at the other person in confusion. He didn't seem to remember that there was a staff officer of this age in his staff, and he didn't seem to remember that there was such a person in his memory.

    His adjutant immediately understood the officer¡¯s doubts from Guan Xiaotian¡¯s doubtful eyes, and he introduced: ¡°This is Second Lieutenant Wang Miao.¡±

    The adjutant's explanation made Guan Xiaotian suddenly realize that after the "Twenty-Six Families Incident" in the Capital Star that shocked the entire Charno nerve, a large number of Guan family children were eliminated from the rank of grassroots officers, and a large number of young and promising officers  Being promoted again, it's no wonder he didn't recognize the other party.  It is said that the root cause of that great change was the siege of the Sixth Army.  However, at that time, the Imperials had not yet launched a ground offensive, and intermittent communications could still allow them to obtain some intelligence from the outside world. Unlike now, they have simply become deaf and blind, except for the base underground and even other places on the ground.  The normal communications of several troops are also often affected by the Empire's high-power jamming radios.

    The other party's age did not make Guan Xiaotian underestimate him. Didn't the famous general of Charno also blossom his amazing military talents at this age?  Guan Xiaotian smiled at Second Lieutenant Wang Miao. He could see the nervousness in the other person's heart. It was obvious that this young man needed to muster up enough courage to dare to break the calm of the command headquarters in front of so many senior commanders.  "Tell me your reasons."

    "Currently, the Imperial ground troops have established a firm foothold in the landing zone," Wang Miao glanced at Guan Xiaotian subconsciously. What he said was undoubtedly pointing out to his face that Guan Xiaotian had made major tactical mistakes in his previous command. This made  He was a little worried.

    "Keep talking!" Guan Xiaotian waved his hand indifferently, indicating that the other party should not care, "This was my mistake in the first place."

    Guan Xiaotian's encouragement and generosity made Wang Miao relax a little. "According to the information sent back by the third division, the Imperial people paid a heavy price to conquer this landing point. We can boldly speculate that since they  Having mastered a controllable landing point, there is no need to waste troops fighting for other landing zones. The defensive areas of other troops have become less important. Rather than doing this, it is better to withdraw the troops to the base, and rely on this  The underground fortress is waiting for reinforcements."
