Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 1538 Precise Response
After inspection by the full-strength division, it was found that some of the starship fragments were not from the Alliance, and could be seen at a glance as fragments of Imperial starships.

As for where Commodore Bobbis and the remnants of the fleet went, no one knew.

According to various indications, the fleet might have been completely wiped out, but... that was the strength of two and a half regiments.

The military believes that this possibility is too small.

It is not impossible that two and a half regiments were annihilated, but it is too unbelievable that not a single starship escaped.

Theoretically, it only took fifteen hours from the time Popbis gave the warning to the time when reinforcements arrived at the battlefield.

With such a short time, even the fully-strength division serving as reinforcements did not think they could achieve this.

It was easy to defeat them, but not a single one escaped... How huge a disparity in strength must there be to achieve this?
The fully staffed division that came as reinforcements felt a chill in their hearts - they might not be able to defeat such an opponent!

Logically, they should search around and try to chase him.

However, the commander of the fully staffed division was very experienced and directly led the fleet to a meteorite 30 million kilometers away.

This meteorite is not very big, with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers, but fortunately it is a high-density meteorite and is quite solid.

This kind of meteorite is the most suitable one they can find nearby.

With this meteorite as a support, they can build a simple space field fortification.

The division commander himself was a brigadier general, and the full-strength division he led was also a direct-affiliated army, so he was slightly higher in rank than Brigadier General Bobis.

Moreover, he also has to consider his own troops, and the best strategy is to protect himself first!

Finding Bobis is a military mission, which is indeed very important, but not so important that he can ignore the casualties of his subordinates!
The progress of the fully staffed division came to a standstill, but two days later, more bad news came.

In addition to Popbis's fleet, there was also a support fleet that lost contact shortly afterwards!
Similarly, this fleet was also chasing a small harassing fleet of the Empire!
And the one responsible for reinforcing this fleet is a reinforced mixed division!

Claiming to be strengthened, the size of this division must be large, even larger than most reorganized divisions.

But the "mixed"... is very interesting. Some are mixed in terms of ship types and uses, but some are mixed in terms of organization.

This mixed division is a mixed organization, with both directly affiliated troops and local troops.

A fully staffed division usually consists of four to five regiments, as well as some divisional units.

A reorganized division can have five to six regiments, as well as divisional troops.

This mixed division has seven regiments, two of which are directly affiliated to the troops and four are local troops.

There is another regiment, which is a reserve regiment, but it is also part of the military hierarchy and is not under the jurisdiction of the local government.

Generally speaking, this regiment is here for training, so there is basically no need to expect too much from its combat effectiveness.

But at the same time, in order to better command the army, the commander of this mixed division is a major general.

The major general also heard the news that Brigadier General Bobis's entire army was suspected to be wiped out. To be honest, he didn't think Digital Phantom had this ability.

But this kind of thing has to be prevented, so he ordered everyone to form a battle formation and continue moving forward.

However, three of the four local regiments under his command expressed strong resistance.

Local groups have their own information channels, which are not much worse than those of major generals.

At least they knew that the opponent was not easy to deal with, and the local government cared more about Tianyu's safety.

Whoever eats the food is responsible for it, so they are not very interested in continuing the search.

Searching for enemies in space is one's job, and returning to Tianyu to assist in defense also requires hard work.

However, local troops mainly rely on the support of local governments, not to mention that relying on planetary defenses has a higher survival rate than in space battles!

There was only one commander of a local regiment who was wavering - this guy was originally a direct-affiliated army officer who was transferred to the local area.

In short, although this mixed-edition division is huge, its attitude towards this matter... is a bit hard to describe.

The major general was extremely annoyed by this situation and ordered three local regiments to pursue.

But the three local groups had already agreed and said directly: It’s okay for us to take the lead, we trust our own judgment more in the direction.

They did not resist directly, which was absolutely inappropriate. If they were allowed to take the lead, they would choose their own path.

Of course the major general would not agree, saying that we have the most authoritative tracking methods and that we should follow our guidance.

Then the three local groups were completely furious: Are they trying to give us direct orders?
Major General, could you please make it clear that we have autonomy, okay?
Anyway, their attitude is very clear: if they don’t let us decide the direction of the investigation on our own, then we won’t be the pioneers!

If you can do it, then do it, but don't let your people point fingers at us and complain - who will be responsible if there is a loss?

The major general was so angry that his liver ached, but there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't just let you choose the direction, otherwise he wouldn't know where you were going to be chased - that's definitely not the right direction!
The three regiments of the local forces are not a force to be underestimated.

In the end, he had no choice but to let his own regiment lead the way, with two local regiments following behind.

When he made this decision, he even felt a little sad in his heart: With this kind of awareness, how can we resist the aliens?
The soldiers in the front are fighting bloody battles, but you are just hustling in the back. How pathetic and lamentable...

Originally they were still able to pursue relatively quickly, at least not much slower than a fully-strength division.

But with this kind of shit going on internally, it’s impossible to catch up quickly even if we want to!
The major general kept urging them at the beginning, but in the end he realized: not only the local regiments were slacking off, but his own people were the same!
In fact, the performance of the fully staffed division is very telling - as a unit directly under the military, they all choose a place to defend first!

So when they arrived at Area 3, it was two days later than expected!
The time difference of these two days was enough for Jia Shuiqing's fleet to leap to the destination.

The mixed division's fleet is really huge: one division-level ship, seven regiment-level ships, plus one regiment-level fire support ship.

There are more than twenty battalion-level ships, nearly a hundred company-level ships, and thousands of small ships of various types!
There are also supply ships, frigates and the like, and many more.

In short, it is overwhelming and at first glance, it gives people the feeling that they cannot afford to offend.

However, when the fleet arrived at the scene, all they saw was debris filling the space.

Looking around again, there was nothing unusual. "Did he... run away?"

It is normal to run away after winning the battle, let alone when you are in the enemy country.

So the fleet began to sweep the battlefield all around, looking for any survivors and searching for useful information among the debris.

Although there were a lot of debris, there were also many people in the support fleet, and the battlefield was roughly cleaned up in half a day.

Unfortunately, the enemy's whereabouts have not been discovered yet, and there are no surviving soldiers.

Based on the known clues, one thing is certain: the vast majority of soldiers did not die at the scene, but disappeared.

It is said that a large number of soldiers from another support fleet are also missing, and now it seems that they may have been captured by the enemy.

Of course, there was a high possibility of being massacred, because the enemy... was fighting within the alliance.

This has little to do with cruelty. All soldiers know how dangerous it is to fight behind enemy lines.

Carrying prisoners takes up valuable space, and their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating also takes up daily necessities.

In addition, people had to be assigned to guard the prisoners to prevent them from rioting.

From any point of view, prisoners captured in operations behind enemy lines are absolutely a burden, and they can be killed after obtaining a confession.

Otherwise it would be irresponsible on your part.

The only ones worth saving are probably a few high-value prisoners, such as Brigadier General Bobis.

More than 2,000 soldiers were missing, and such a large-scale killing of prisoners was bound to increase the hatred between the Alliance and the Empire.

However, do these two Guojia still lack that little hatred?
The truth is that there were too many prisoners, so they had to be killed - this was too much of a burden.

The major general's face grew darker the more he thought about it. He felt extremely suffocated knowing that so many soldiers might meet with accidents soon.

To their great surprise, someone nearby said, "Will this evil imperial soldier kill all the people?"

The major general sighed inwardly: Compared to the people of the Empire, the people of the Alliance... are still too kind.

Anyway, he was getting more and more upset. "Each fleet should separate and search for the enemy's whereabouts in a radius of one billion kilometers."

"What?" The others were quite surprised when they heard this.

The radius is one billion kilometers - if you encounter the other party, you will probably be dead before you can even wait for rescue.

This order made everyone feel quite resistant.

It would be fine if the major general could specify a direction and we could all chase together.

At least such a large fleet can give people a sense of security.

That’s right, it’s just a little more sense of security. Some people suspect that they may not be the opponent’s match.

Although they were not sure how strong the enemy was, more than two fleets were destroyed in an instant.

Not even a single surviving soldier could be found, let alone any detailed information!

With such strength, it is hard to say whether our mixed division can achieve it...

However, this time, the major general was really anxious. "Eight regimental ships, divided into three groups, must search in all directions. This is an order!"

"You have to understand that once those captured soldiers have given their confessions, they will not be able to survive!"

"The lives of our comrades are in your hands!"

"If you are worried about attacks and ambushes, the search team can be extended and divided into batches... Don't say you don't understand!"

Now that things have come to this, no one can object anymore. Rescuing friendly forces is a soldier's natural mission.

And given the brutality of the imperial people, killing prisoners... is actually a high probability event.

Besides, the major general used military orders to put pressure on others, so who would dare to say no?

So the full strength of the seven regiments was divided into three groups of three, two and two.

Among the two regiments, one group was assigned to the regimental-level fire support ship.

Another group was assigned to the reserve regiment, and the other regiment was still a local regiment.

This group is the weakest, but the division-level ships will be in this group.
