Chapter 218 Lando Crisis

It was just that Wang Shuhua's decision completely pushed the Landu Galaxy to the edge of the cliff.

Originally, he had some chances to stop the invading fleet by staying near the jumping bridge with his fleet, but the moment he gave up jumping the bridge, the Landu Galaxy was doomed to fail.

When Qi Yiming heard the battle report, he immediately commanded the Xuefeng to set off from the Awakener Galaxy. He had to rush to the battlefield before the Landu Galaxy was completely lost, otherwise Wang Shuhua would really perish with the Landu Galaxy.

At first, Lu Zhenyang was also very surprised that Wang Shuhua gave up the Landu Galaxy bridgehead. He once thought that Wang Shuhua had set a trap for him, waiting for him to command the fleet to step into it.

However, after many reconnaissances, it was discovered that Wang Shuhua had indeed given up the position at the Landu Galaxy Jumping Bridge Exit, which made Lu Zhenyang very happy.

Soon, all the coalition fleets passed the jumping bridge, established a forward base in the Landu Galaxy, and sent heavy troops to firmly control the jumping bridge.

When Wang Shuhua found that his strategic direction was wrong, it was too late.

In desperation, he could only inform the government of the current war situation on Violet Star and ask them to prepare for being taken over by the Commercial Alliance.

Originally, only a small number of people were evacuated, but after Wang Shuhua reported the war situation, the number of people evacuated suddenly increased.

Almost all humans on Violet Star requested to retreat to the hinterland of the New Federation.

Wang Shuhua did not make any preparations for the evacuation at all, and seemed a little helpless in the face of such an emergency.

Fortunately, the government departments of Violet Star were well prepared. After requisitioning a large number of transport ships at zero o'clock, they were able to take away all the citizens who requested evacuation.

Faced with this situation, Lu Zhenyang, the commander of the coalition forces, did not care. The problem was that the top leaders of the Commercial Alliance attached great importance to the population and asked the coalition forces to launch an attack immediately and organize the evacuation of humans on Violet Star.

In desperation, Lu Zhenyang had to order the fleet to launch an attack in advance.

At about zero o'clock on February 23, 3323, the coalition forces launched the largest attack on Wang Shuhua's fleet since the beginning of the war.

Almost all the troops were put into the battlefield.

At the beginning of the war, Wang Shuhua already felt that he was powerless.

The enemy stretched the battle line very long, and nearly 90,000 warships of various types almost surrounded the defense line on the orbit of the fourth planet.

In order to prevent the enemy from intercepting the transport ships carrying many poor people, Wang Shuhua had to disperse the already small number of troops to various defense nodes on the orbit of the fourth planet.

With an absolute advantage in troops, the offensive rhythm of the coalition forces was very tight.

Under the constant urging of the top leaders of the Commercial Alliance, Lu Zhenyang's original tactics of blooming at every point were forced to change to a key breakthrough, striving to break through the defense line in the shortest time and intercept the transport fleet preparing to evacuate.

The battle was extremely fierce, and warships were sunk or paralyzed almost every minute.

Fortunately, the overall quality and combat quality of Wang Shuhua's fleet were much higher than those of the coalition forces, and the coalition forces' key breakthrough tactics were turned into a war of attrition between the two sides.

But this situation is also extremely disadvantageous to Wang Shuhua. After all, the number of warships on his side is absolutely superior, and the fleet of the New Federation will be exhausted sooner or later.

The battle lasted from February 23, 3323 to 13:00 on February 29. The New Federation's front line finally had a huge gap under the continuous war of attrition.

"Captain of the fleet... the defense line responsible for the 3rd Regiment was breached, and the 3rd Regiment was annihilated..." Wang Shuhua's adjutant took the newly received battle report and looked at Wang Shuhua with worried eyes while reading it.

"Where are our reserves?"

"All reserves were put into battle three hours ago..."

"Contact the transport fleet to see how long it will take them to complete the evacuation?"

"I just asked, they need at least 24 hours."

"Twenty-four hours..." Wang Shuhua whispered: "It seems that we really have to live and die with the Lando Galaxy."

The adjutant also had a resolute expression on his face, not because of how high his awareness was, but because his parents and relatives were among the retreating crowd.

Many of Wang Shuhua's soldiers joined the army after the establishment of the New Federation. They themselves do not believe how deep their feelings for the New Federation are.

But they are willing to sacrifice their lives for their loved ones to live a more comfortable life.

After seeing Wang Shuhua's gloomy expression, the adjutant stepped forward and comforted him: "Sir, we will never let the coalition fleet of the Commercial Alliance pass through our defense line."

Wang Shuhua did not speak, but looked at his adjutant with a firm look.

He knew why these people behaved like this. They could not even leave the planet they lived on under the rule of the Commercial Alliance.

But under the rule of the New Federation, everything has changed.

Their life stage has become bigger. Although citizenship allows them to take on corresponding responsibilities while enjoying benefits, the ultimate goal of taking on these responsibilities is to let their relatives and friends live a better life.

So these people are willing to follow Wang Shuhua and fight the enemy to the end.

So the battlefield is always playing scenes that make Wang Shuhua feel heartbroken.

Many warships, knowing that they cannot avoid being sunk, will take the initiative to resist one or more rounds of enemy attacks for their friendly ships.

Wang Shuhua believed that if the enemy was closer to them, these warships would definitely rush towards the enemy ships without hesitation and perish together with the enemy.

Wang Shuhua knew that this could not go on.

If this continued, not only would his fleet be annihilated, but even the evacuating transport ships would be caught up by the fleet of the Commercial Alliance.

"Attention, all ships, shrink the defense line to the orbit of the third planet and do your best to protect the safety of the evacuating fleet."

But what made Wang Shuhua desperate was that when all the warships retreated to the orbit of the third planet, the fleet of more than 10,000 warships was reduced to only more than 4,000.

However, the scope of the third planet's defense line has changed slightly.

First of all, the scope that Wang Shuhua needs to defend is much smaller, and Wang Shuhua arranged people to lay air mines in the orbit of the third planet in advance when defending the fourth planet to limit the enemy's activity space.

When Lu Zhenyang led the fleet to appear outside the defense line of the third planet, his brows were tightly knitted together.

The dense air mines severely restricted his fleet from spreading out. In desperation, he ordered the fleet to launch attacks from several channels specially left by Wang Shuhua, and at the same time mobilized a large number of minesweepers from the rear fleet to carry out mine clearance.

Just when Wang Shuhua was in a difficult battle, Qi Yiming's Xuefeng had quietly arrived at the outskirts of the Landu galaxy. At the same time, he also brought more than a thousand cruisers. Although the number was small, it was still a support force.

Qi Yiming first encountered the transport fleet that was evacuating the Landu galaxy. Qi Yiming was also stunned when he saw this scene, but he immediately figured out the reason.
