Chapter Seventy-Three: The Main Formation
With the contraction of the 4th formation's defense, this battle can be said to be settled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
With a diameter of less than 50 kilometers, there are 16 warships and dozens of MSs concentrated in the airspace, plus the defense system of the base, the intensity of its firepower is extremely terrifying, and there is no room for maneuvering.
Usually, in the face of such a defense, you can only rely on the main guns of the battleship to bombard slowly. But for Fengyu, he obviously did not have this condition, how could the firepower of a mere "Tempest" blast through such a line of defense.
Feng Yu simply asked the "Quasi-Ace Squad" to return to the "Tempest" to rest, ready for the next battle. And he himself remained in space to maintain the coercion of the 9th Fleet. As long as he was there, the warships and pilots of the 9th Fleet did not dare to let their guard down, lest he seize the opportunity to force a breakthrough.
Not only that, but he also took out the last ship slashing knife in his tactical backpack to create a situation where he could rush up and slash the city at any time. If the opponent's fire blockade is slightly relaxed, he will go up and charge once, forcing the opponent to maintain the maximum saturated long-range fire.
If someone else was so scareful, the 9th Fleet might not be afraid, but the Mobile Suit WS has a solid slashing mark on his chest multiplied by four, and one of them was contributed by the 9th Fleet. They knew that as long as Fengyu broke through the fire blockade and approached a certain distance, no one in the base would be able to stop him.
In this state, the pilot, the battleship fire controller, and the base fire controller all maintained a high degree of tension, and their spirits were tense from beginning to end.
On the contrary, Fengyu was quite relaxed, most of the time he hid outside the effective strike range of the opponent's firepower to rest, and from time to time he went to rush, anyway, the initiative was in his hands. He even had the leisure to discuss the next course of action with the Storm through short-range communication on the air, which was not very effective.
Since the 4th formation has made a defensive posture of contraction, it means that they are sure that the main force of the fleet will come back. Therefore, it is necessary for Fengyu to think about how to fight next under the siege of 36 warships.
The next battle should be the last battle of this WG1 trip, and Fengyu does not want to continue training, as long as he can drag the 9th Fleet and make them dare not leave the base to go to the WG1 shipping center.
By the time the 48 hours arrived, Awa-Ker had successfully transported the FI alloy, and the WG1 trip had come to a successful conclusion.
And in order to do this, it is necessary to create enough coercion on the two full formations of the 9th Fleet to convince them that if they leave the base, they will suffer greater losses, and they will threaten the living space of this fleet.
On this point, Fengyu has been very clear. Through the previous battles, he had already let the 9th Fleet know that with his current strength and ability, he could easily pack up a full formation without an ace pilot. The only one who could still counterbalance him in the 9th Fleet was the only remaining ace pilot. The rescue force without the ace pilot is going to deliver food, and the base without the ace pilot is the fish on the sword, since the 9th Fleet only has one ace pilot, they can't divide the troops.
This is not enough, Fengyu's goal is to defeat that trump card, so that the 9th Fleet will be completely dead, and will no longer dare to leave the base for half a step, and all of them will shrink their defenses.
However, this is only a strategic plan, and it is not easy to implement it. Even if the battleships and pilots who are currently staying at the base are exhausted after an hour of saturation shooting and can no longer be dispatched, with the other two full formations of 20 battleships, 200 pilots and one ace, it is entirely possible to threaten Fengyu and the "Tempest" in turn.
Fengyu is a super ace, yes, but he is not omnipotent. After being hit by a cluster concussion bomb before, the emotional personality is temporarily unconscious, and I don't know when the next awakening will be, at least for now, I can't count on it.
In terms of melee combat, the master personality is indeed inferior to the emotional personality, and it is not easy to kill an ace, you need to find the opponent's weaknesses through a long battle, and then create a trap to create a one-hit killing opportunity.
Such a method is both inefficient and dangerous, and if you don't sell a flaw, it will become a real flaw and be knocked down by your opponent. And Fengyu has gone through a series of battles, and he can't support it for so long because he is physically and mentally exhausted.
What's more, after being blown up by a cluster concussion bomb, both Mobile Suit WS and Fengyu have injuries in their bodies, which is not suitable for long-term high-intensity combat. To put it bluntly, Feng Yu is now a bit of a strong crossbow at the end of the posture, which seems to have beaten the 9th Fleet to a contraction defense, but in fact, he is the real lack of follow-up.
Therefore, he consciously lowered his requirements, not seeking to defeat the opponent's trump card, as long as he repelled the lone seedling of the 9th Fleet and let them have some scruples. Then he can return to the "Tempest" and rest well, and let the high-speed destroyer go around in circles near the base of the 9th Fleet in an optically invisible state to implement deterrence. When the delay is almost 48 hours, it will return to the WG1 shipping center to process the batch of FI alloys.
Of course, all this is just Fengyu's assumption and vision, and whether it can go so smoothly will have to be known after fighting. I believe that if the last two formations don't feel the pain, they won't give up easily. After all, Fengyu has already caused too much damage to the 9th Fleet, making them want to tear Mobile Suit WS to pieces.
Time passed minute by minute, and under the harassment of Fengyu from time to time, the other party was really exhausted by his torture. Finally, after waiting for more than an hour, a fleet jumped out of space 50,000 kilometers away from the base, and 20 warships showed that this was the 1st and 5th formations that returned to the reinforcements.
When Fengyu saw these warships, his heart suddenly chuckled.
There are 10 different battleships!
There are no super-nova stars, no super-star stars, no main order stars, no comet stars, and instead there are two new capital ships and destroyers that Fengyu can't recognize. Since even the intelligence station of Awa-KER stationed in WG1 did not know about this, it means that the 9th Fleet had just recently undergone a rearmament.
If you guess correctly, this formation with new warships should be the 1st formation of the main formation.
As mentioned before, the development of space warfare has now taken a back seat to the role of warships, and it is mobile suits that really decide the outcome of the battlefield. So what Feng Yu is really worried about is not these new warships, unless the defensive turrets of these warships are all replaced with cluster shock bomb launchers, otherwise they are not much different from the old warships to him.
He could even guess that these ships of the 1st formation should be high-speed warships with third-generation jump engines, the same as the "Tempest". However, the third-generation jump engine does not increase the strength of the battleship, only increases its speed when flying across the star field, and the battle inside the star field is the same as before, and there is no change.
What Fengyu is really worried about is the mobile suits carried on these battleships, since the battleships have been upgraded, what about the mobile suits?
If he guessed correctly, the 1st formation should have been reequipped with the fourth-generation MS, the MS-102.
Thinking of this, Feng Yu immediately informed Luo Yunxi and asked her to postpone the launch of the mobile team, and wait for herself to probe the reality of the other party before making a decision.
You must know that the AM series of mobile suits is only a reference to the third generation of semi-mobile fighters of the MS-102, and except for the R particle shield, the other performance is inferior to the other party. For Mobile Suits, no matter how strong the pilot's ability is, if the car has no speed, how can he defeat the opponent. Letting the "quasi-ace squad" drive AM to face the 1st formation driving the fourth-generation MS is tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
A few minutes later, the mobile squadron of the 1st formation completed the formation, and in terms of size, the mass-produced mobile suit that was almost two meters higher than the third-generation MS was undoubtedly the MS-102.
It has been three years since the launch of this model, and after the use and feedback of the trial model by the quasi-ace pilots of various fleets, and through the technical improvement of mass production, the MS-102 production model has finally rolled off the assembly line in batches and began to be installed in all first-line fleets.
Fortunately, the supply of new models is temporarily in short supply, so each first-line fleet can only be reequipped with one of the formations first. If the entire fleet had been reloaded, the situation in WG1 would be very different today.
Fengyu rushed to the mobile squadron of the 1st formation alone to experience the superior performance of the fourth-generation MS.
