Chapter 575, Exploded Into Five Sections

After the Phoenix withdrew, Gu Hang just took a quick "look" and didn't care about it anymore.

The loss was still painful.

Eight hundred went, and only five hundred returned. Everyone was injured, and there were dozens of seriously injured.

Although these seriously injured soldiers cannot be saved according to mortal standards, it is not the case for Space Marines.

Those who really cannot be saved can also be stuffed into the Dreadnought Iron Coffin and continue to serve the Chapter and the Alliance in the future.

Of course, the Alliance also supports those who retire with serious injuries, and can provide strong life support so that people can enjoy life after retirement. Speaking of which, with such a long lifespan, Space Marines have a lot of "good days" to live in the future.

After all, being stuffed into a Dreadnought Iron Coffin is not a comfortable experience, not to mention that once you are stuffed in, you will never get out in this life.

However, so far, no Space Marine of the Phoenix has chosen to retire after being seriously injured, and all chose to enter the iron coffin.

The three hundred Space Marines who were lost may not all have died in battle. Perhaps, there are still some surviving phoenixes, who are actually scattered and fighting in various places on Alfonzo II. Because the time for assembly is too short, they can't rush here in time.

However, this is really out of control.

At the moment when Martins broke into the door, Gu Hang's power could be used by this Space Marine who had a very deep connection with him to quietly enter the protozoan room.

Du Bo, who was not at the control console, was not so sensitive to psychic power. He failed to detect Gu Hang's power infiltrating.

Then, accurately removing the restraints and control of the neurozoan and helping it escape was a difficult point in itself. Gu Hang needed to be very careful and very accurate to detect the weaknesses of the energy beams tied to the neurozoan and cut them off one by one.

In this process, Gu Hang needed to use his power accurately and silently across such a long distance in space, which was quite difficult.

Once there was a mistake in the middle, it was noticed, making Du Bo feel something was wrong, and then he went back to the control console, which would be troublesome.

But during this whole process, Gu Hang did a very good job.

Without mistakes or hesitation, Gu Hang completed what he was supposed to do.

But it was not over yet.

Releasing the neurozoa only eliminated the existence that had been fighting against Gu Hang.

Du Bo, the commander-in-chief, should be dead; on the War Ark, there were out-of-control neurozoa killing people, and the Heroic Legion that Gu Hang threw in did not evacuate, so the entire War Ark was now in a semi-wasted state.

As the flagship of the entire mechanical fleet, it could neither play the role of a command ship nor issue effective command orders to other ships in the fleet; at the same time, as the most powerful warship in the entire fleet, it was almost completely silent due to internal strife, and could not play the role of a mainstay.

On the contrary, since the ship was almost stationary, even with a void shield, it was a very dangerous thing. Unable to evade a certain amount of firepower by moving or maneuvering, it was purely a target, and even with a void shield, it could not withstand the attack.

In order to protect the fleet flagship, many frigates and even a Retribution-class battleship came over to try to help cover. They can intercept some of the Alliance artillery fire through the firepower system. Even, when necessary, they can use their own hull to block the guns for Alfonzo II.

This really helped Alfonzo II a lot, but in the overall environment of the fleet decisive battle, the combat effectiveness of the mechanical fleet was greatly affected. Those ships of the mechanical fleet that went to help the flagship were equivalent to no threat to the Alliance fleet.

This time, the Alliance suffered a lot less firepower pressure.

The value of the boarding operation that invested in the heroic spirit and the Phoenix made great sacrifices is here.

Moreover, this is just the help it brings to the Alliance fleet at the moment.

More importantly, the subsequent development.

The sacrifice of the Space Marines has created such a great opportunity, how can Gu Hang waste it?

He originally wanted to solve the War Ark first to avoid more trouble. But since there is a ship that dares to block it, it’s okay to kill others first.

After no one blocked it, Gu Hang's psychic power became unbridled.

The Retribution-class battleship that dared to stand in front of Alfonzo II directly became Gu Hang's target.

The void shield could not hold out for long and was soon torn apart.

Then, the Alliance Fleet, whose combat coordination was much stronger than the mechanical fleet, launched a concentrated fire attack on it the next moment.

The numerous artillery fires were secondary. The main attack this time was actually the Zhuge-class aircraft carrier 'Hawkhor'.

Three patrol ships were ejected and in a flash, at a speed only slightly slower than the speed of the artillery shells, they were sent to the face of the enemy ship.

Generally speaking, the Alliance's Blackfish-class patrol ships will be equipped with about 1,200 crew members. The three specialized Blackfish sent to the face of the enemy ship were not fully equipped, but only about 400 people.

This number of people can basically only meet the basic needs of ship operators, and it is even slightly insufficient; if it is to sail for a long time, some positions that must be manned at all times cannot be guaranteed to be manned all the time - after all, people need to rest.

However, in the current battle situation, there is no need to consider so much.

Even the operation of the ship itself is not that important.

As long as the weapon system is complete, it will be fine.

It is also worth mentioning that all the crew members on the ship are dead soldiers. Everyone is prepared to not come back.

It is an extremely dangerous task for a small boat to be ejected into the face of a battleship. Even if the Zhuge-class aircraft carrier is equipped with a traction system that can pull back the ejected small ships, there is a high probability that they will not come back.

And their mission is actually very simple: to blast out all the missiles loaded on the special black fish before they are destroyed.

The problem with missile weapons is that they are much easier to intercept than artillery shells and light spears.

The aircraft carrier sends aircraft such as fighters and patrol ships to the face of the enemy ship in order to solve this difficulty: when they are close to the face, the launch distance becomes very short, and the difficulty of interception increases greatly.

Moreover, the patrol ship is much larger than the largest dragon elephant fighter. The black fish class that does this kind of suicide mission has all been specially modified to increase the bomb load as much as possible, and nothing else can be ignored.

Each of the three Blackfish was equipped with 18 Dongfeng Fen missiles. It only took two rounds to fire all of them, and the total time would not exceed six minutes.

This means that as long as the three Blackfish survived for six minutes, they would be considered successful.

The first round of missiles, 27 Dongfeng Fen missiles, were all successfully launched.

Among them, six were intercepted, and the other 21 all hit the Retribution-class battleship with its void shield torn.

21 huge explosions appeared on the ship. The entire battleship was severely damaged.

Then, one Blackfish was destroyed, and the remaining two sent out all the 18 Dongfeng Fen missiles in the second round.

The Retribution-class battleship was blown into five sections.
