Chapter Forty-Eight: The Suspicious Defense Line

Through "reconnaissance," Luo Yunxi discovered that at the entrance of the main channel one astronomical unit away from the hideout of the "Tropical High Pressure," the forces dispatched by the 9th Fleet were not one formation as expected, but two full formations of 20 warships.

She asked worriedly, "Why don't you give up on the mission?" The disparity is just too great. ”

"I can handle 10 warships? It's not the same disparity. Feng Yu asked with a smile.

"But don't you think things are strange?" Luo Yunxi still insisted on persuading Feng Yu, "The intelligence said that countries are only allowed to add one additional formation to enter the non-Tai Wh area, but the 9th Fleet has dispatched double. ”

"Although the 9th Fleet has fallen under the control of NO, it is not enough to openly break the agreement between the three countries. I think they're just trying to get some more troops to escort the engines out of WG1, and not all of them will go into the non-WH area. Feng Yu is worthy of being a stream-of-consciousness trump card, accurately grasping the other party's thoughts.

WG1 is the territory of the 9th Fleet, and the fleet's daily movement in the star field is completely autonomous. After deducting the necessary forces to stay at the base and other strategic points, the 9th Fleet sent all of its surplus forces to the main channel to escort the third-generation jump engine. After all, they are also worried about accidents, and it is certainly not a bad thing to have a little more guards.

According to the plan of the 9th Fleet, another formation involved in the escort will escort the engine-carrying NO-transports all the way to the Comet Cloud on the periphery of the star field. Once the Comet Cloud region is passed, even if it leaves the WG1 star field, it will also leave the fleet jurisdiction, which is easy to trigger high-level accountability. So the limit of their escort is on the side of the Comet Cloud's spherical shell area, where one formation will return and the other will continue to sail to the non-Pacific area as a supplementary force in the provisional agreement.

It must be said that the prudence of the 9th fleet was correct. They were guarding against the New African Resistance Army before, but now they are causing big trouble for Fengyu.

Without the cooperation of warships, it was already extremely difficult for Fengyu to repel 10 warships by himself, just hoping to sink the opponent's flagship and fish in troubled waters. At this time, there was a qualitative change from quantitative change, and his ship-cutting knife could only sink the flagship of one of the formations at most, and the commander of the other formation was still able to control the situation well.

can't defeat the other party's command system, and it's just a fool's dream to get the engine, Luo Yunxi is precisely because he understands this truth, so he suggests that Fengyu give up.

But Fengyu is essentially a stubborn person, the kind of person who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, and even if he hits the wall, he may not turn back, but thinks about how to break the wall and continue to move forward. Luo Yunxi understood him, and her persuasion was only a little bit of a person, in fact, she had already begun to help Brother Xiaofeng find a way in her heart.

Seeing that Fengyu had no intention of giving up, she gave a suggestion, "When I was studying warship command at the Tianjing Higher Aviation School, the instructor once talked about the channel defense plan of the Kuiper belt. One of them we can learn from. ”

"Oh, let's hear it!" Feng Yu came to be interested. Although he has a good sense of smell on the battlefield and the ability to interpret the battle situation, he has not learned battlefield command after all, especially in the defensive arrangement of warships.

The plan introduced by Luo Yunxi is a kind of suspicious defense line based on the Kuiper belt, which is suitable for the defenders with weak troops to block the shipping lane.

It is well known that during the long growth period of stars, most of the main-sequence star fields produced the Kuiper Belt, a ring of dwarf planets, asteroids, and meteorites. Moreover, because of the gravitational effect of stars and the limitations of engine technology, human spacecraft can only enter and exit the star field along the ecliptic plane, and they must pass through the Kuiper Belt and be restricted by it.

Under these circumstances, the defense of shipping lanes based on the Kuiper Belt is an important topic that the military of various countries has spent a lot of energy on research. The common ones are heavy force blocking, space aircraft mine blocking, these are based on the premise that the defender is fully prepared.

But what if the defenders are ill-prepared and at a disadvantage?

So there is this kind of suspicious defense line that Luo Yunxi learned.

The so-called suspicious defense line refers to the deployment of a small number of warships by taking advantage of the dense asteroids and meteorites of the Kuiper Belt. Because the attacker's optical sensors are extremely limited, they cannot detect the airspace beyond the shipping lane, and can only use energy detectors to perform rough scans. The defender can use a large number of R-particles released by a single ship to mislead the energy sensor and form a suspicious soldier. Usually, as long as there are 5 warships, it can be arranged to create the illusion that a fleet is encircling the waterway, so that the enemy does not dare to enter the waterway rashly.

At this moment in WG1, the "Tropical Pressure" is just a high-speed ship with no attack power, but it has an R particle generator on board. As long as it is used properly, flying back and forth in a certain area, constantly scattering R particles, can at least create a formation of suspicious defense lines.

The Suspicious Defense Line is a case that every academic captain knows, and it stands to reason that it should be easy to see through, but the truth is not so simple.

In the most difficult period, New Asia was invaded by the UAC into the TD2 star field, and in the subsequent TD1 counterattack, the New Asia military laid a suspicious defense line in the TD1 Kuiper belt. The UAC commander at the time underestimated the resilience of New Asia, misjudged the strength of the Kuiper Belt in defense, and allowed the fleet to force its way into the shipping lane.

As a result of this battle, the two fleets of the UAC were routed in the shipping lane, because the New Asia military did the opposite, obviously arranging hundreds of warships in the Kuiper belt, but using the suspicious defense line to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.

This battle served as a negative teaching material, so that the military of various countries no longer dared to underestimate the defense line of the suspicious army, because no one knew whether the other side was charging more with less or hiding its troops.

The same strategy is put into WG1, as long as the "Tropical Pressure" scatters a large number of R particles into the meteorite belt next to the channel, the 9th Fleet will have to weigh the extent of this suspicious defense line.

Unbeknownst to them, Awa-Ker is also coveting the third-generation jump engine, and has the audacity to send only one high-speed ship to snatch it. A more normal idea would first come to the idea that this was the work of the New African Rebels, and then it might even be the fleet of the New European Union to get involved.

As long as the 9th Fleet thinks so, Fengyu has room to maneuver. He gladly accepted Luo Yunxi's suggestion, and let Marshmallow take full charge of the command work, even if he himself could cooperate to a certain extent.

Of course, there are pros and cons to the line of defense against suspicious soldiers. The advantage is that the two formations of the 9th Fleet did not dare to rush through the channel in a short period of time, giving Fengyu more time to plan how to seize the third-generation jump engine. The downside is that the 9th Fleet may call in reinforcements and further increase the number of escort forces.

However, Feng Yu was not worried about the other party summoning reinforcements, because it would take at least a few hours and a whole day. Compared to the hesitation and procrastination that can be caused to the other party, this risk is still acceptable.

Luo Yunxi is an excellent captain, and the advantages of the suspicious defense line outweigh the disadvantages.
