Chapter 132: Attacking the Task
If the two fleets of the New Asian Space Force were to rely on alone, there would be no chance of victory in such a battle as three fleets defending a fortress. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info What really determines the final outcome of the DT2 battle always depends on whether Fengyu can lead the two fleets to break through the iron bucket array laid by the UAC people.
Speaking of which, this is the second time that Fengyu has dealt with the fortress, before dealing with the L4 base in the M320 star field, if it weren't for the fact that the shell of the semi-finished fortress has not been installed, the charging and firing process of the 2000mm electromagnetic railgun without dead angles is not hidden, and the "Storm" was almost sunk.
At present, this DT2 base is a finished fortress, and the tracks of the electromagnetic railgun are hidden under the cover of the fortress armor plate, and before the moment of firing, outsiders can't see which target this 2000mm kinetic energy cannon is aiming at. If the opponent is aiming at the "Tempest", this battleship piloted by the Awakened can also try to evade it through the "acceleration" ability, and if it is a warship of the New Asian Space Force that is attacked, it is basically a dozen and one accurate.
Therefore, as long as there are electromagnetic railguns, the warships of the 10th and 5th fleets will not dare to approach the effective range of each other, and they must be at least 100,000 kilometers away from the fortress to be safe.
And within 100,000 kilometers, it is the home of UAC warships, and they can move freely without the threat of enemy warships. So in the era of big ships and cannons before the rise of Mobile Suits, a fortress was basically invincible.
In the past, if you wanted to take a fortress, there were only two ways.
One is to use siege tactics to deplete supplies in the fortress by besieging but not attacking. However, this tactic is risky and time-consuming, and unless the enemy is powerless and has no reinforcements, the encirclement fleet is likely to be besieged by the enemy in turn.
If you want to be efficient, you can only take the second method, send a large number of warships to carry out a strong attack at any cost, and see if you can find an opportunity to destroy the launch trajectory of the electromagnetic railgun. But the chances of winning this way are very slim, the three tracks of the electromagnetic railgun can be rotated, and under the cover of the fortress armor plates, outsiders have no idea their exact location.
Because neither method is reliable, no one has successfully sunk the finished fortress so far, but a few semi-finished fortresses like the M320 Star Field L4 base have been sunk. The reason why everyone is so enthusiastic about sinking a semi-finished fortress is because if you don't take this opportunity to sink it, when the armor plate of the fortress is installed, you will no longer be able to see the railgun's track, and the finished fortress will be almost invincible at that time.
With Mobile Suits becoming the dominant force in the space arena, warships had to take a back seat as auxiliary forces, and strongholds became less difficult. A master like Feng Yu came out, as long as he broke through the shell of the fortress, he could destroy the launch track in minutes, and turn the electromagnetic railgun that the fortress was proud of into scrap metal.
And the reason why Peng Dingguo is willing to gamble in this battle is that he hopes that Fengyu can paralyze the daunting 2000mm electromagnetic railgun with no dead ends.
As someone who has seen Fengyu's moves, Patten sometimes has such a question, "As a captain, if you are forced to choose an opponent between the fortress and the 'storm', how do you choose?" ”
He had asked his captains privately this question, and the answer was the same as that of the old guys who had participated in the E4 campaign - "Storm"!
Their reason is also very simple, you can't fight in the face of the fortress, anyway, that kind of artificial celestial body is almost stationary compared to the battleship, as long as you don't provoke it, it can't help you. But in the face of the "storm", everything is up to you, as long as you are targeted, you can't run.
This statement objectively reflects the mentality of the vast majority of captains, no matter which country's captain, they are not willing to be in a hostile state with the "Storm", because it is too terrifying. But although they are also afraid of the electromagnetic railgun of the fortress, they basically don't have to think about it, because as long as the boss's brain is not wrong, they will not want to attack a fortress.
It's just that in today's DT2 star field, the new Asian Space Force will break this common sense, and they will challenge a fortress under the leadership of "Storm". If you don't count the raid on the half-finished L4 base in the M320 star field, this is the first time that Fengyu has officially attacked a fortress.
Of course, it is impossible for Patten and Duterte to let the battleship face the electromagnetic railgun, but will let the mobile force follow the "storm" to attack the DT2 fortress, and only after ensuring that the electromagnetic railgun is ineffective, the battleship will enter the 100,000 km range.
According to the plan of action agreed upon by the three parties, when they enter the airspace of the DT2 fortress, which is the first stage of the operation, the "Storm" will first send the vanguard forces such as "Storm" and "Berserker", which are mainly responsible for dealing with the high-end combat power of the UAC and the electromagnetic railgun in the fortress.
If the "Storm" succeeds in suppressing the UAC's high-end combat power, or successfully approaches the DT2 fortress, then the battle will enter the second phase, and the pilots of the 10th and 5th fleets will be dispatched to help Fengyu contain the UAC's mobile forces, so that he can free up his hands to deal with the electromagnetic railgun.
Once Fengyu succeeds, the DT2 fortress will become a toothless tiger, and then the third stage begins, and the new Asian space force warships will enter the battlefield and fight Armageddon, trying to sink as many enemy ships as possible.
This is a preliminary and brief operational plan, and in the course of its implementation, three parties will make adjustments in light of the actual situation.
On the side of the "Storm", Fengyu has to go to the front line in person, and due to the limitation of the length of the bond of consciousness, it is impossible for him to hide his body on the "Storm" like he did when Taimei WW dealt with the "Ocean". Therefore, Fengyu could not participate in the overall command and negotiation, so Luo Yunxi could only communicate with the other party as the plenipotentiary representative of the "Storm". Moreover, she can contact the wind in front of her at any time through the access of spiritual power, and can connect the front line with the rear, which is a very scarce ability in the space battlefield full of R-particles.
As for the 10th Fleet, with Vice Admiral Peng Dingguo's friendship with Feng Yu, he will definitely take care of his interests, and there is no need to worry about him dragging his feet, and he will even help Feng Yu bargain with Duterte. In the tripartite
Only the 5th Fleet was a destabilizing factor. If the war goes well, Duterte will naturally cooperate actively for his own benefit. On the other hand, if the battle in front of Fengyu does not go smoothly as expected, this guy may retreat at any time. After all, he had already firmly pocketed the exploits on the air side, and if he could accept it when he saw it, he would not put the 5th Fleet in danger.
To be honest, if it weren't for the UAC people stationed in DT2 with a full three first-line fleets, Fengyu really wouldn't be willing to cooperate with such an unstable factor as the 5th Fleet. If you are not afraid of the enemy's strength, you are afraid that someone will drag your feet and disrupt the pace, and no matter how good the situation is, it may be ruined because of your pig-like teammates. Such lessons abound in history, and although Feng Yu did not study in the command department, he could also casually name a few classic cases.
Of course, Lieutenant General Duterte is definitely not a pig-like teammate, otherwise he would not have followed Patten to DT2, he just has his own careful thoughts. He wouldn't deliberately sabotage Fengyu's battle plan, after all, few people were willing to push "Storm" into a hostile position. As long as Fengyu is still fighting ahead, he will not evacuate easily.
Feng Yu understood this very well, and Patten Dingguo had also reminded him privately, so what he needed to do was to fight a hearty victory and give the 5th Fleet enough confidence to make them feel that this battle was profitable.
Half an hour after leaving the Kuiper Belt, the Storm and the two New Asian Space Force fleets arrived in the airspace of the DT2 fortress as the attackers. The two fleets stopped at a distance of 120,000 kilometers from the fortress, and the "Tempest" rushed to a distance of 100,000 kilometers alone, releasing all three "Berserkers" whose "Storm" had already Haag and three MGs left.
Since the sacrifice of Foers in Taimei WH, Fengyu is not very willing to let the three third-generation GMP teenagers led by W4-21 fight, because their combat experience is indeed a little insufficient, and they are full of cannon fodder in the face of high-end battles dominated by ace pilots, and they don't play much role at all.
And without the gmp man Furs as a bridge of communication, Feng Yu can feel that the three gmp teenagers have become more difficult to fit in with the "Storm", on the one hand, because of their identity, and on the other hand, because of their age, and they can't fit into the system dominated by the adult awakened.
If it weren't for Luo Yunxi's inexplicable influence on W4-21, Fengyu would even be worried that these teenagers would have some other thoughts. This battle was really because the UAC had too many troops, and they had to show the 5th Fleet the strength of the "Tempest", so they had to be brought with them.
Even if he didn't trust these GMP teenagers very much, Fengyu didn't bother to kill them, but handed them over to Hag, a friend of Falls, to lead. I believe that the mood of love for the house and Wu will make the gmp teenagers have more trust and dependence on Haag.
As a result, the seven mobile suits ejected from the "Tempest" were divided into two groups, one in front and one behind, with three "Storm" directly breaking through the DT2 fortress in front and "Berserker" leading three MGs in the rear to be responsible for the peripheral attack.
Although the UAC people were a little surprised by the "Tempest" that suddenly appeared in this airspace, they were not panicked, after all, they were huddled in the DT2 fortress, and it was precisely to avoid being broken by the "Storm", and they had long expected that this kind of thing would happen.
What really caught them off guard were the two new Asian fleets that appeared at a distance of 120,000 kilometers, but they weren't strong enough to cause panic. The UACs began to methodically catapult the Mobile Suits, setting up a steel line in front of the DT2 fortress.
The DT2 battle officially kicked off from this moment.
