Chapter 172: Taking Advantage of the Fire

The Xuefeng entered the jump channel in front of everyone's astonishment.

When Xue Shaopeng saw all this, he laughed wildly and pulled the adjutant beside him and said, "Look... this is the Xuefeng that destroyed the Second Fleet. We just showed a little bit of electronic warfare capabilities that surpassed her, and we escaped like this."

The adjutant also laughed, but he was a little curious about why the Xuefeng chose to accelerate into the jump channel in the direction of their fleet if it was escaping?

Xue Shaopeng continued, "Look... they are already panicking. They are running towards our fleet, which shows how poor the psychological quality of the commander of the Xuefeng is."

"Commander, since the Xuefeng is running away, can our reconnaissance mission come to an end?"

"How could I miss such a great opportunity to make a name for myself? Since the opponent's backbone is running away, we might as well go all out and defeat the enemy in front of us before the main fleet arrives. I believe that with our powerful firepower output, they will not be able to hold on for long..."

After seeing the Xuefeng enter the jump, Xue Shaopeng immediately decided to temporarily change his mission. He wanted to take back the Lando galaxy from the enemy by himself before the main fleet arrived.

"Attention, all ships, keep the formation unchanged, and attack the enemy in front of you with all your strength." After making up his mind, Xue Shaopeng immediately ordered the warships and commanded his ship to slowly move forward.

But the next second, a shrill alarm sounded in the bridge, and then the fleet command channel became chaotic.

"Space distortion appears in the center of the fleet formation... It's the Xuefeng..."

"The electronic warfare ship was hit, and the engine was damaged..."

"High-energy reaction... The enemy ship's main gun opened fire..."

"The outer armor of the electronic warfare ship was penetrated, and casualties occurred!!"

A series of alarms came one after another, making Zhou Shaopeng a little confused.

He immediately pressed the fleet communication key and asked loudly: "What's the situation? How did the Xuefeng appear in the center of our formation? And it was sticking to the electronic warfare ship?"

"We don't know what happened, she just suddenly appeared at the current position."

"What do you mean you don't know? The Xuefeng has clearly entered the jump channel..." Suddenly, Xue Shaopeng froze in place as if he was hit by something, muttering to himself: "Impossible, the energy of the jump engine cannot be controlled so accurately?"

But no matter how much Xue Shaopeng denied it, the facts were in front of him.

The Xuefeng did appear in the center of their spherical formation, and it happened to appear next to the electronic warfare ship.

As soon as they left the jump channel, Qi Yiming ordered the weapons officer to reduce the charging intensity of the main and secondary guns to the minimum, in order to sink the enemy's electronic warfare warships instantly with a fast and intensive design.

The firepower density of the Xuefeng did not disappoint Qi Yiming. In less than ten seconds, the two electronic warfare warships that Zhou Shaopeng protected as treasures in the center of the fleet were severely damaged by the dense firepower of the Xuefeng.

When more than a dozen main guns on the Xuefeng ship were fully charged, the red light from the muzzle had announced the sinking of another electronic warfare warship.

Seeing that his treasure was about to be sunk, Xue Shaopeng roared like crazy in the fleet channel: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you focus on the Xuefeng?"

However, although Xue Shaopeng's direct fleet often practiced the spherical array, they had never tried to attack from inside the formation.

After all, no one would have thought that one day an enemy ship would appear inside the spherical array.

At Xue Shaopeng's urging, the warships opened fire one after another.

However, the Xuefeng was almost face to face with the electronic warfare warship, which inevitably caused accidental injuries.

Xue Shaopeng watched his precious baby being torn into pieces by the double firepower of friendly and enemy ships, and then watched the Xuefeng accelerate and enter the jump channel again under the firepower of his own side.

A few minutes later, the Xuefeng returned to its own defense line.

The entire raid took less than ten minutes, and the Xuefeng was in the jump channel for most of the time.

Seeing the Xuefeng return to its own fleet intact, Xue Shaopeng completely lost his mind.

After being a commander for so many years, when has he ever been humiliated like this?

Today, even for his own honor, he has to fight the Xuefeng to the end.

However, as a reconnaissance fleet, the number of warships under Xue Shaopeng's command is limited.

In terms of the number of warships, Zhou Shaopeng does not have an advantage, and is even at a disadvantage. If there were no two electronic warfare warships, they would probably have been wiped out by Qi Yiming near the jumping bridge.

Now that the two special warships were forcibly sunk by the Xuefeng in the most extreme way, it can be said that Xue Shaopeng's reconnaissance fleet has become a dish in Qi Yiming's eyes.

Qi Yiming didn't need to spend much energy to kill them, and he didn't even turn on the battlefield detection system of the Wise.

He just ordered each warship to find its target and fire freely.

Without electromagnetic suppression, the fire control radars of each warship were turned on and worked normally.

Within a few minutes, a large number of burst lasers were fired at the reconnaissance fleet led by Xue Shaopeng.

The precise and fierce firepower immediately woke Zhou Shaopeng up, and the fleet that was attacking immediately stopped.

Xue Shaopeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then he remembered to carefully observe the enemy's defense line.

His mission was to scout the enemy situation. If he lost too many warships without scouting the enemy's situation clearly, then he, Xue Shaopeng, could just shoot himself, because even if he took the remaining fleet back, he would inevitably be sent to the gallows.

"Sir, while the loss is not too big now, let's withdraw quickly!!" Xue Shaopeng's adjutant also persuaded at this time.

Qi Yiming's fleet only launched a round of attacks, and Xue Shaopeng lost 7 destroyers and two cruisers.

According to this rate of loss, his direct fleet will have to be explained here in less than half an hour.

Xue Shaopeng went from being ambitious at first to being furious at the Xuefeng's sneak attack, and then to being helpless now. The ups and downs of his emotions made him feel like he was exhausted, and he slumped down in his command chair.

He looked up at his adjutant, raised his right hand and waved it weakly a few times: "Retreat."

In this situation, retreating is still salvageable for Zhou Shaopeng. The worst case scenario is that he will be dismissed for poor command, and his life can be saved to some extent.

Looking at the enemy fleet evacuating the battlefield in an orderly manner, Qi Yiming did not order a pursuit.

The failure to fully reconnaissance the fleet did not have a big impact on the entire battle situation. The most critical situation now is how he should deal with those special electronic warfare warships when facing the enemy's main fleet next.

In the face of a small-scale fleet battle, he can also use the Wise's precise battlefield detection capability to perform short-distance precise jumps to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack.

But in a large-scale fleet battle, suddenly appearing in the center of the enemy's formation is no different from committing suicide.

Qi Yiming had to find a way to solve this thorny problem, otherwise he would have to give up the Landu Galaxy and hand this important transportation route back to the Commercial Alliance.
