Chapter 623: Heavy as Ten Thousand Pounds
Tang Lang looked up suddenly, and in the field of vision transmitted by the optical detector, the mercenary fleet that had been temporarily withdrawn on the left and right wings began a new change.
Originally, it was like a huge bat with wings swinging forward, but in the next moment after the "wings" were hurt, the whole fleet suddenly cracked, the right wing army, the right wing army, the right center army, the central crusade army, the left center army, the left wing army, the left wing army, and the upper and lower six wing armies, with the two central motherships and the cruisers and destroyers surrounding them as the main body, like a huge octopus with countless tentacles spreading out in the void of the universe, and the black tentacles composed of battleships were pressed by the black press, and spread out towards the universe in all directions.
Stretching, stretching......
Teeth and claws, filling the world.
"This, what kind of formation?" Many young officers exclaimed.
Since the birth of the Space Fleet, in order to exert the power of the group, various generals have invented various formations for thousands of years, such as the "one" shape, the "people" shape, and the ring shape。。。。。。 No matter what kind of formation, whether it is defense or attack, we are committed to maximizing the power of the group.
In the vast void universe, even the huge and incomparable stars are nothing more than the sand of the Ganges, let alone the starships made by humans. The thousands of meters long interstellar mothership is already the largest man-made aircraft that human beings can build so far, but sailing in the vast universe, human beings will instinctively have a sense of helplessness that "the world is big, but I am as small as dust".
Choosing the power of the group is an instinct that comes from the bones of human beings, and it is also a psychological effect against the boundless universe.
But the hand played by the "Falcon" Nas, although it looks majestic, but there is a sense of confusion in its own battle, and for the combined fleet that has entered the state of semi-full speed charge, it has reduced a lot of threats, at least, the terrifying salvo has become diffuse, and the energy shield has enough energy input to ensure that it will not be broken due to the huge energy flow it bears.
However, no one thinks that the "Falcon" Nas is playing with fire, as a hero who has destroyed several small countries, Nas's ranking on the list of famous generals in the starry sky is directly after the Supreme Commander of the Southwest Federation military, Sun Hong, and the people who can underestimate him in the entire starry sky will never exceed ten fingers.
Although many young officers could not understand his unique formation, they knew that the opponent's move was no longer the previous temptation, but a complete split and transfer, and the entire fleet became the main body of attack.
"The enemy has moved, why hasn't the order been given yet? How do we fight? ”
"Don't panic, the whole ship is ready, wait for orders!"
"Wait for the order!"
"Steady, boys, steady!"
"What's so scary, rush in and do it, it's over."
In the internal communication channel of the Combined Fleet, there was a slight impetuousness and panic, as well as the old and stable mood, and the chaos did not care at all.
The impetuous ones are mostly the people in the warships of the civilian and planetary garrisons, they may have experienced some battles, but they have never seen this level, and the opponent suddenly changed his tricks unexpectedly, and it is inevitable that he will be impetuous. For this group of interstellar "Green Forest Heroes" who have been wandering on the tip of the knife all year round, they can't beat it, and they have to fight it first and then see, anyway, no matter who it is, they can't fool them by putting up a formation.
In front of the command seat, Tang Lang looked at the enemy fleet that was harassed by countless giant snakes in front of the screen, silent and silent.
Everyone around him knows that they can't overstep their orders now, and they can make suggestions from the side, but at present, it can only be him, the supreme commander, who can give orders.
It's mil-spec. When he enters the battlefield, he can give orders from the command seat of the whole fleet, and there can only be one voice, and if he is not capable enough and loses the war, it will be after losing the war. But now, no matter whether they win or lose, everyone must unconditionally obey him, trust him, and deliver their lives and comrades-in-arms to him.
"Commander, this is a net-type formation, aiming at the enemy's charge, turning into a point, like a huge net, netting the charging enemy fleet, blocking the edge of the enemy fleet with the body of the central battle formation, and then using the points that constitute the mesh to carry out an all-round attack on the slowing down enemy fleet, just like a fishing net thrown into the sea, tightening it little by little, and gradually strangling and catching the fish that dare to break into the fishing net." In the video, Jiang Cheng's brows are furrowed, but his face is still determined, giving people a handsome old guy charm who is extremely reassuring. "This formation is rarely used, because the command of the battleship is extremely demanding, and this Nas is even a few points stronger than I imagined. I suggest that our warship group shrink and slow down, resist this wave of attacks first, and if you want to catch us as a fish, then his "net" should be spread a little wider. Then we'll get a chance out of it. ”
"Okay, the left and right sortie formations will return to their own formation, and the whole fleet will slow down to a quarter of the previous one, and cooperate to cover the formation according to the original plan, maintain the formation, and fire freely!" Tang Lang nodded and ordered. “”
The order was immediately conveyed to the ships at a speed of more than five times the usual speed, and the fleet, which was rushing forward, suddenly started the reverse thrust engine, the speed dropped wildly, the bulletproof armor rose one after another, and the energy turret rotated and poked out from the armor gap, aiming into the distance, and then, condensed the light, and launched "boom, boom, boom".
People in it don't think, but if you stand millions of miles away, you will see such a spectacle, a big net has been opened, just waiting for the fish to rush into the net, but the fish that is burying its head and rushing suddenly wagging its tail, the speed plummets, if the big net wants to catch "it" again, you must open the net bigger, and you have to take the initiative to stretch forward, but you can no longer open the net as before.
"This Tang Lang is much stronger than I imagined!" Nas's eyes narrowed slightly.
He didn't really care about the previous setback, it was just a test in itself, and most of the seven or eight starships lost were mainly frigates, which were non-main warships, not to mention that the other party was also destroyed more than a dozen starships, which was basically undefeated. The commander of the Southwest Confederation fleet showed a striking tactical response, but that was about it.
If it were him, he would rather sacrifice the left and right formations than easily take out the remaining 8 starships of the most powerful 9th Fleet, including the killer feature of electronic deception that has just been shown.
When the two sides have not yet fought a decisive battle, exposing their hole cards is very in line with the youthful characteristics of Tang Lang, a young man.
But he made the first move again, but the opponent's response was once again beyond his expectations, as many as more than 200 starships, unexpectedly slowed down in the void to defend and attack. Nas was surprised not by the correctness of the tactics adopted by Tang Lang, but by the speed of his reaction time and the high execution of the entire fleet.
Even, surpassing the warships under his command.
If you don't know, you still think that they are a well-trained main fleet, no, it is true that even the 9th Fleet of the Southwest Federation, which had caused huge casualties under his command before, had never shown such a reaction.
Could it be that the information from within the Celestial Power System is wrong? Tang Lang commanded simply the most elite fleet of the Southwest Federation? Or, the commander has someone else, and Tang Lang is just a pretense? There was a rare uncertainty in Nass.
But thinking about the assurances of the collaborator from the top of the Southwest Federation, there is no secret fleet in the entire Southwest Federation, and even if there is, it is just a patchwork of some second-level local fleets, Nasqiang suppressed the unstability in his heart, and his eyes flashed with essence, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Since they dare not come, then we will go, order the whole fleet, keep one-third of the speed forward, and the output of the energy cannon is thirty percent!" ”
Thirty percent remains, naturally, allocated to the energy shield.
It is called "Falcon" because Nas is both fierce and cautious, and the mercenary fleets under his command may have failed to attack, but rarely stepped into enemy traps and were ambushed.
Energy cannon fire intertwined in the void, and the distance between the two sides in the void gradually narrowed.
In the void, countless energy rays appeared from far and near, and in an instant, the periphery of many Combined Fleet warships immediately lit up with blazing light, and the huge ion ripples of the energy shield and the artillery attack beam collided, surging like a terrifying wave.
Once the energy shield is saturated with neutralizing energy, the ship will only be able to contend with the energy rays that stab the hull like knives in the hull.
It was as if time had paused at this moment.
It was an indescribable scene, in the void, like a huge net of mercenary fleets, "covered" the combined fleet assembled in space in the shape of a cigar defensive formation. And between the dots that formed the giant web were countless deadly beams and missiles.
In the steel ship group of the combined fleet, the energy cannonballs fired out and the energy rays of the enemy fleet were densely intertwined in the void, and there were countless battleships on both sides, and the enemy's destroyer energy shield was melted open a big hole, and the battleship on this side was hit by an extremely sophisticated photon missile, and the thick armor was blown out of a big hole, as if it was ignited fireworks, and suddenly spewed out a terrible blazing flame.
It was a battleship transformed from a civilian starship whose bow was hit, and the officers on the bridge may have died at the first time, and the entire battleship could not maintain its previous azimuth and roll, exposing a hideous hole that dragged and flowed, but the undamaged hull of the middle and rear of this civilian starship was still firing tenaciously, and it was not a perfect energy cannon, all of which hit the right hull of the mercenary battleship whose energy shield was broken, and the side of the mercenary battleship was completely vaporized, and the bridge was uneven beyond recognition, Countless human stumps were "sprayed" into the void by the huge pressure difference.
The civilian starship with its constantly exploding hull exchanged one for another, beating a frigate of the mercenaries that was far more valuable than them. In fact, in such a confrontation, not to mention that the civilian modified starship has energy cannons and photon missiles, even if it is a broken sampan, as long as it can spray the light of death, it can still beat a "high-end cargo" that has lost its energy shield to a bruised nose and swollen face.
The bridge was destroyed, the commander was killed, the frigate had lost its combat effectiveness, and the fate of the people inside was no longer in their own hands.
It's the winning side, whoever wins, the soldiers waiting for rescue on that side can survive, as for the loser, when the two sides have already killed the red eye, they don't need to be cleared by name with energy cannons, which is already very merciful.
"Our perimeter warships have suffered heavy losses!"
"The 19th formation lost its combat effectiveness, the 11th formation, the 12th formation, and the 15th formation lost more than half!"
"The flagship of the 2nd formation was destroyed, and its subordinate ship No. 2 applied for command, no need, the bridge of the No. 2 ship was just blown up, just give it to the No. 3 ship!"
One by one, the information was summarized from the staff seat and sent to Tang Lang, who was sitting in the command seat, and Tang Lang continued to issue decisions such as agreeing and vetoing, and the degree of his mental concentration was no less than that when he controlled the mecha to fight a decisive battle with a great master like Miyamoto Tsuyoshi and Negus, it was even a few points worse.
Because, according to the rapidly changing battlefield situation, he has to command 20 combat formations, large and small, and even one of them. If it weren't for the assistance of hob meat, Tang Lang felt that he couldn't hold on for a while.
Thinking of a general like Qin Luochuan commanding the starship group to fight against the enemy without changing his face, Tang Lang had to admire, at least he couldn't achieve that kind of stable posture now.
But Tang Lang didn't know that he envied others in the starship, but he became the scenery in the eyes of others.
As a staff officer of the combat department, Ming Yueshang is responsible for collecting and sorting out all kinds of information on the battlefield that is dizzying like a waterfall, and finding out and making important reports to the Supreme Commander Tang Lang in the shortest possible time, and because there are too many battleship formations, as many as 20 formations, even if Ming Yueshang is able to do so, he can only be responsible for five of them, and there are still 6 combat staff officers responsible for the other 15 formations.
To be honest, Ming Yuetang was a little worried, Tang Lang was very strong, but fleet combat was a new challenge for him, and one was to command nearly 300 starships to confront more than 100 starships of the enemy, which was almost as difficult as he took a group of agricultural thirteen mecha to beat the opponent's 9th generation mecha company.
Eighty percent of her attention was focused on collecting battle reports, and the other 20 percent was on Tang Lang. In case of failure, or because of a command error that caused too much damage in battle, it would be an incomparably huge blow to him.
But to Ming Yueshang's surprise, Tang Lang once again gave her a huge surprise, the information that she and the other 6 combat staff officers gathered in his command seat was all handled by him in an orderly manner, and the loopholes on the battlefield that followed were also filled, and the battle situation was much better than before.
What kind of man is this! When you think that he is already shining and admirable, you find that this is the beginning of his beginning. His future is unimaginable.
Perhaps, this is what is called a gift! Mingyueshang, who has put aside all her worries, already has a certain imagination for the future, and the appointment on the banks of the Tianqing River may not just be the brave and frank thoughts of a girl when the crisis comes, but it may really come into reality.
Unlike Ming Yueshang, Qiu Ruge, who couldn't help at the moment, poured a cup of coffee with his alloy steel cup and gently put it on the cup holder next to Tang Lang's command seat.
The battleship trembled violently, sending ripples of coffee in its cup.
"Boom!" A ray of light that pierced through the gaps between the many Combined Fleet warships from the depths of the universe appeared from the Immortal's vision and slammed into the left side of the Immortal.
Rao is energy shield withstood this blow, but the Immortal Bird still encountered a wave of violent shocks. Everyone grabbed the fixed handrail at hand nearby, and it was only then that the deck was tilted up and down.
Although everyone knew that the blow just now was just a stray bullet that slipped out of the battlefield, everyone's hearts were more or less affected, and they were inexplicably dignified.
This is war! Even a firmly protected flagship may turn into a torch burning in space at any time.
Tang Lang, who was sitting in the command seat, frowned, leaned back slightly, and quietly picked up the alloy cup from the cup holder on the side and tasted it carefully. Although most of the coffee in the cup was spilled due to the tilt of the battleship, it was obvious that this did not affect his relaxed mood.
Seeing the commander like this, the officers who had just given birth to a dignified spirit relaxed their minds and continued to devote themselves to their work.
After stabilizing the mentality of everyone on the flagship, Tang Lang's gaze returned to the battlefield holographic sand table in front of him. Tang Lang saw that his own ship group was in a defensive formation, and the outer ring, as a battleship to resist the most fierce attack, had already become a lot of injured yellow and seriously injured red.
His fingers moved rapidly on the tactical sand table, his long knuckles accurately input instructions, and his appearance was calm, but the sweat on his forehead slipped quietly at some point.
War is not a game, and what Tang Lang needs to endure is not only the complicated battle situation and deployment, but also the tragic casualties. Although Tang Lang could only see the starships being blown up and falling into the starry sky, he knew that after that, there was the loss of fresh lives.
At his command, life passed.
But in order for more people to continue to breathe, Tang Lang could only brutally let part of his life disappear.
This is the most unbearable, even if Tang Lang has gone through the test of war and has long been downset about life and death, he is still weighed down by life and death on his fingers like a mountain.
It's as heavy as a thousand pounds!
