Chapter Forty-Eight: Space Combat

If in the Age of Discovery, the battle between the two fleets at this time can be called a broadside battle, which means that the sides of the two warships have been close together, and the crews can directly rush to the other deck to fight. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

And in this era of the great universe, warships sail in a vacuum of space, and naturally there will be no open deck. As a result, broadside warfare was transformed into another form of combat, that is, close-quarters melee between warships and mobile suits of both sides.

This is the type of battle with the highest battle damage rate.

Whether it's a battleship or a mobile suit, in a dense formation of canines and enemies, you will face unexpected blows from all directions at any time. Battleships face siege from mobile suits, which are on guard against highly dense artillery bombardment. At this point, tactics have become relatively secondary, and it is more about the individual ability and morale of both sides.

In this battlefield environment, the more capable the pilot, the greater the role he can play. It can be said that the ace pilot is the master of the onboard battle!

This UAC fleet chose this mode of operation, and naturally they have a reason. A few hours earlier, they had just shot down an ace pilot from the Space Force's 10th Fleet, meaning they had a numerical advantage over the new Asia.

Of course, Fengyu's existence is still a secret to them.

Don't look at the length of the semi-fortress of the E4 base, which is only a dozen kilometers, it is almost negligible in the vastness of space, and can even be regarded as a point. However, the actual distance between the clockwise airport battlefield and the counterclockwise airport battlefield was more than 300,000 kilometers. The reason why the two battlefields are so open is that the two UAC fleets are intentional, intending to force the 10th Space Force 10th Fleet to divide its forces so that it cannot echo each other.

However, this arrangement did not drag down the stubborn 10th Fleet, but rather limited the regular communication between the two fleets due to the excessive distance between the battlefield. As we know, photons can also produce a certain degree of random polarization under the interference of R particles, and this polarization at a distance of 1 lightsecond can cause visual deviations that are visible to the naked eye and cannot be corrected even by instruments.

In other words, at a distance of more than 1 light second, the optical communication between warships will become garbled characters that cannot be recognized by the system due to the interference of R particles. Within 1 light second, the existing decoding system can barely correct the error and get an approximate message.

How the defeated UAC fleet lost at the counterclockwise airport, and the UAC fleet on the clockwise side of the airport did not know. With only the optical sensor monitoring over there, it is impossible to see a mobile suit less than twenty meters tall. And when that fleet fled, they all went in the direction away from the E4 base, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they still have the heart to come over and say hello here. If someone could still think so well in that situation, this fleet would not have been crushed because of the wind.

Therefore, without finding out the details of the opponent and indeed not seeing the New Asian reinforcement fleet, this UAC fleet tacitly acquiesced to its superiority in the number of ace pilots, so it unceremoniously chose the most violent broadside battle.

If the wishful thinking of the UAC fleet can be played, even if their two ace pilots can't contain the remaining one on the New Asia side, just competing with the efficiency of the ace pilots to kill ships and the number of warships on both sides, the outcome will be without suspense.

The two ace pilots of the UAC are each responsible for less than 10 targets, while the ace pilots of the 10th Fleet of the Space Force have to face nearly 50 warships alone.

It's a desperate and crazy contrast.

Even if the two ace pilots of the 10th fleet are there, the situation is not much better, with the difference between 1 to 50 and 1 to 25 is like 50 steps and 100 steps, losing is losing, running is running, nothing more than losing miserably and running faster.

With the confidence of victory, the UAC fleet fought a broadside battle with great fanfare. In fact, this is a method of warfare in which the enemy is injured by 1,000 and 800 is self-inflicted, and if it were not forced by the situation, they would not be willing to choose this method.

In the eyes of the UAC fleet commander, the sudden defeat of the friendly fleet must have brought a new force into the counterclockwise air port battlefield. Although their lookouts did not find the target, it could not be said that there were none, and perhaps the position of the reinforcement fleet happened to be obscured by the E4 base and friendly fleets.

As for why the reinforcement fleet from New Asia did not come to base E4 to assist in the defense after the friendly fleet fled, their guess was that the reinforcement fleet and the friendly fleet moved the battlefield together and continued to fight farther away, so they could not stay at base E4.

This speculation is quite reasonable, after all, no one can imagine that an ace pilot can come to the E4 star field single-handedly and change the tide of battle on his own. Only those who think like this are called abnormal!

Unfortunately, it was this anomaly that changed the situation of the E4 and created a false impression for the remaining UAC fleet.

Later historians and military experts dubbed it the "storm phenomenon" to commemorate the fact that Fengyu opened up a new way of thinking about the extreme use of mobile suits on the battlefield. Although this type of combat requires a certain background and certain conditions to achieve, it is called a phenomenon. However, the "storm phenomenon" represents the ultimate use of the decapitation tactics of ace pilots, and the combat method with the goal of destroying the command system of the enemy fleet has since prevailed among ace pilots of various countries.

At this moment, the "storm phenomenon" is still a non-existent term in the situation where the battlefield recorder data of both sides has not been read and released, but Colonel "Storm" has already piloted his mobile suit WS into this extremely tragic space skirmish.

The Tropical High does not have a Mobile Suit ejection device, so the Wind Universe flies out at a slightly slower speed than the regular version launched from the battleship. By the time he appeared on the battlefield, the mobile suits on both sides had already fallen into a state of melee, and the tragic scene was like hand-to-hand combat in the ancient era of cold weapons, and even the long-range MR and MS-B on both sides were forcibly pulled into melee combat, unable to pull away for long-range attacks.

In the ancient era, once the long-range troops in the era of cold weapons were close to each other, it was a tragedy, and similarly, MR and MS-B also became the initial victims of this space engagement. These two mass-produced mobile suits without the Metal Saber were abused when they were close quarters, and they were basically the first to be taken down. As time passed, the remaining long-range mobile suits on both sides retreated, fighting almost against the armor plates of their own ships, and finally reduced the casualty rate.

Probably looking at the situation on the battlefield, Fengyu was also a little helpless. The 10th Fleet, both in terms of warships and mobile suits, was far inferior to the other side, and would soon collapse under the high-intensity attrition of broadside battles. No matter how strong his individual ability was, he couldn't destroy the UAC Fleet command before the other side could defeat the 10th Fleet.

Previously, the "Tropical Pressure" had been following the flagship of the 10th Fleet, using the high concentration of r particles in the middle of the battleship group to cover up the traces of the high-speed ship's optical invisibility. Because of this, Fengyu's position on the scene was next to the flagship of the 10th Fleet, which happened to give him an opportunity to save this fleet again.
