The Golden Tide Wormhole Transportation Hub, an important wormhole connecting the front line to the heart of the Federation, has been a key target for the Iserras side from the very beginning. In the First Erie War, the Lekima Federation sacrificed more than 30,000 warships, accounting for about half of the total sacrifice, in order to defend the entrance to this wormhole.

At the mouth of the Golden Tide, the Federation deployed the 6th Fleet of the Chief of Staff, Admiral Otto, and the 17th and 18th Fleets of the Imperial Circle. These two fleets are much higher than the 11th and 16th fleets in terms of the quality of their warships and soldiers. At the same time, the 1st and 2nd fleets stationed on the planet Maloese could also rush to the mouth of the golden tide within an hour to support.

In addition, the original Jinchaokou checkpoint has now been built into a small fortress, and due to time and technology, the Federation does not have the ability to install a main cannon on this small fortress. However, the weapons and energy cores that were removed from the shipwrecked were all transported to the fortress. The supply capacity of the fortress with parallel multi-energy core units can support the launch of the main guns of 500 Vulcan-class battleships. At the same time, the hard and heavy outer armor makes this fortress hundreds of times more resistant to strikes than warships.

After calculation, 10,000 Vulcan-class battleships fired at the Jinchaokou Fortress at the same time, and each ship had to shoot more than ten cannons on average to completely destroy it. And in the process, the counterattack of the fortress was enough to destroy two thousand battleships.

It was precisely because of the existence of the fortress that Marshal Werner stationed the 20th and 21st fleets on the planet Tabesena, which shows how strong his confidence in the mouth of the Golden Tide was.

But now, the Golden Tide Mouth is being put to the test, and 40,000 Iserras warships are constantly wandering outside the range of the Federation Fortress and warships, staring at the Federation fleet.

"Chief of the General Staff, do we ask for reinforcements from Malocena?"

Otto stared at the enemy fleet on the screen, shook his head slowly, and said, "There are only 40,000 warships, with our strength, plus the existence of the fortress, they can't take any advantage." Wait and see, let the fleets be prepared for emergencies. By the way, how long will it take for the 20 fleet to get here? ”

The 20th fleet was Yang Tiexin's fleet, which was originally moved in the direction of Jinchaokou in order to lure the enemy, and when it marched to the middle of Taboxena and Jinchaokou, it received information from Otto to asking for the enemy through the continuously building relay communication network, so it quickly rushed over, and at the same time sent a communication boat to Tabasena.

"Chief of the General Staff, the 20 fleet is expected to have fifteen minutes to feel here."

Otto nodded and said, "With the support of the 20 fleet, it is enough." ”

At the same time, in the center of the Iserath Army at the mouth of the Golden Tide, surrounded by countless warships, was a huge Trident flagship. This is the flagship of Admiral Douglas, commander of the First Fleet of the Isseras Army, the USS Waldschart.

"General! News that has just arrived from the front line in Tabesena. ”

"Read." General Douglas put down the papers in his hand and looked at the staff officer, his voice was neither sad nor joyful, and there was no emotion to speak of.

After listening, Douglas nodded slightly and said, "The formation is scattered, and it is still confronting our army until now?" Hehehe...... It seems that I have too many concerns, and those two fleets will not be from other countries. In this way, it is time for this war to come to an end. ”

Suddenly, Douglas stood up, his face resolute, his hair moving without wind, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle's falcon swept over everyone, and shouted: "Pass my order, the battle of Jinchaokou, the general attack begins, and the fleets are advancing as planned!" ”

The order was given, and the Iserras fleet, which had been lingering, quickly moved. Douglas's First Fleet and the original Fifth Fleet of Jinchaokou quickly moved to the left of Jinchaokou Fortress, and the original Jinchaokou Sixth and Seventh Fleets moved to the right side of Jinchaokou Fortress, like two long snakes, as if they were about to encircle the fortress.

The movement of the fleet immediately made the federal side very nervous, but the Iraqi fleet had been at a distance of more than twice the range of the battleship's main guns, and there was no sign of attacking.

Otto looked at the constantly moving enemies on both sides of the fleet and frowned: "What the hell do these guys want to do?" By the way, have you found out who the enemy's commander is? ”

A staff officer shook his head and said, "Not yet, the enemy is very strict about communication control, and we can't steal any information." ”

Another staff officer spoke: "Chief of the General Staff, do we need to apply for reinforcements?" ”

Looking at the two piles of enemies that had moved to the left and right, Otto frowned and hesitated. After a long time, he still shook his head and said, "The enemy only has 40,000 warships, and he is not allowed to apply for reinforcements. Wait and see what the enemy is trying to do. Hmph, if they dare to rush through the mouth of the golden tide, just wait to face the two-sided attack of us and the marshal! ”

Otto had a calm face and was undaunted by his enemies.

But in fact, he was very worried. If the enemy's master is the guy with the "Thorn Water Shield", with that man's cunning and wisdom, I'm afraid ......

Seeing that on the screen, the enemies on the left and right sides continued to fly in the direction of the Federation, passing over the Golden Tide Pass Fortress, and there seemed to be a convergence movement.

"Order, the fleets immediately turn one hundred and eighty degrees and aim their guns at the enemy!"

It took at least one minute and thirty seconds for the Vulcan-class battleship to turn in place. On the battlefield, no one dares to turn around without a definite certainty. If the Iraqi army attacks from the side or behind just now, the Federation fleet can move forward first, and then make a turn up or down, and then turn around.

However, now, the enemy is more than twice as far away from you, and even if you turn on the spot, you have a lot of time left.

But......

Just as the Federation fleet began to turn and the Golden Tide Pass Fortress began to move in the direction of five hundred main guns, a sudden news immediately stunned Otto.

"What! Another 30,000 warships have appeared in front of us, and they are approaching us at high speed? Fuck, where did these 30,000 battleships come from? ”

In this way, the battle situation of Jinchaokou Fortress became 30,000 warships in front and 40,000 warships in the rear, forming a flanking situation.

"How is this possible, where did Iseras get so many warships, could it be that they have transferred the warships guarding Tabesena and South Eust?"

But now, not the time to be in a daze, Otto quickly gave the order.

"The 17th Fleet stopped turning, the main guns of the fortress were restored to their positions, and the 6th Fleet and the 18th Fleet continued to turn!"

In the face of the sudden appearance of the enemy, the pressure of 70,000 enemy ships suddenly frightened the officers and soldiers, coupled with the contradictory order of turning for a while and not turning for a while, the defects of the insufficient training of the federal fleet were suddenly revealed, especially the 17th fleet, many warships were at a loss and did not know what to do, some continued to turn, some stopped turning, and some simply did not move, and it was extremely chaotic for a while.

While the commander of the 17th Fleet hurriedly shouted, Otto sent a request for help to the planet Maloena.

However, the order sent back filled his heart with despair. In the process of those Iraqi warships detouring behind him, dense Mie particles were scattered, which had blocked the communication between Jinchaokou and the outside world.

Hearing this, Otto sat down in his chair in despair, his face pale.

"Chief of the General Staff, what shall we do now?"

"What to do...... Otto muttered, his heart full of remorse, if he had asked for reinforcements at the first place, or if he had attacked while the enemy ships were moving, he would not have been like this now.

Such a cunning enemy, there is no need to guess, Otto has already thought of who his opponent is this time.

Douglas......

Taking a deep breath, Otto stood up, looked at the staff officer in front of him, who was also pale, and shouted: "Cheer me up, don't worry, the 20 fleet is coming towards us, and the enemy will be found in ten minutes at most." I am sure that they will also report the situation here to the marshal, and the marshal will not ignore us! Now, immediately inform the whole army that our reinforcements will arrive soon, and in this battle, we will just wipe out the enemy's main force at the mouth of the golden tide! ”

Hearing Otto's words, the staff officers immediately understood and quickly sent a communication to the other fleets.

Otto turned his head and looked at the approaching Imperial fleet on the screen, muttering with a wry smile: "Hopefully, we can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements......"
