The battlefield was timed for 12 hours and 35 minutes, and the fleet battle entered a new stage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the large-scale release of strategic weapons, the strategic situation of the enemy and the enemy is still clearly distributed, and there is no longer a need to rely on the lives of the officers of the reconnaissance ships to obtain valuable information.

According to the current situation analysis, the Wolf ship group is actually not very large, and the number of combat ships such as capital ships and command ships is only about one-third of our fleet.

Strangely, at this time, the situation on both sides is contrary to our common sense. Our ship group, which had the advantage in the number of comrades-in-arms, began to shrink the defensive line and assume a defensive posture. And the Wolf unmanned fleet, which is inferior in numbers, is constantly dispersing its forces.

From a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield from the zenith, the main fleet of our Cosmos Force gradually shrank into a huge ball array that was effective at 1.5 astronomical units.

And the Wolf unmanned ship group, regardless of the dispersion of forces, assembled in three directions, has completed the encirclement posture of the main force of the Space Force.

"What's going on? With such a weak force, you dare to surround us?! ”

This is almost the unanimous idea of all officers and men in the fleet. I asked Wei Leili the same question, and he looked at the situation map on the electronic sandbox and fell into deep thought.

"For a long time, in the battle of the Grand Fleet, the gap between a single combat platform is covered by the numerical superiority and cannot be fully reflected, but with the decrease in the density of the ship group, the gap in the capabilities of a single ship will gradually be reflected. The appearance of this situation map can only show that the commanders of both the enemy and us have realized that the next stage of the battle will be a battle in which the performance of our single ship will play a decisive factor. The unmanned fleet is trying to dilute our numerical superiority as much as possible and try to give full play to the combat effectiveness of its single ships, while our fleet is putting on a defensive posture as much as possible and not allowing the unmanned fleet to give full play to the combat effectiveness of its single ship. ”

To be honest, at such a stage in the fleet battle, I found that in addition to competing with the strength of the fleet and the national strength of the star field represented behind it, the battle was mainly reflected in the game of the fleet commander, which was completely a competition of the commander's personal wisdom, technical and tactical level, and willpower. Therefore, I also feel why in the space fleet, the fleet commanders have such a lofty position, and they are really the existence that determines the fate of hundreds of millions of people in the star field in the war.

At 15 hours and 50 minutes, the second phase of the battle officially began. The three of us just gathered in front of the electronic sand table after a short 3-hour break. It's not that I don't understand the meaning of needing to rest well and go into the battlefield in the best shape before the war, or because of my own battlefield experience, I need to increase my ability as a commander by observing actual battles. In this interstellar battlefield that relies heavily on the personal judgment of the commander, I don't want to be a peerless general, at least not to make some low-level mistakes, and leaving a lasting reputation is what I really hope to achieve.

First of all, the unmanned fleet is attacked, which is deployed in the form of a single ship and a single line of battle that seems to have no formation, but is actually very orderly. This special combat method of relying only on one line to support the entire attack surface has a similar effect in human history, and only the infantry line tactics that have appeared in ancient countries on earth have similar effects. In the face of the provocation of the unmanned fleet, the way our main fleet responded was very heartwarming.

Tactical Instructions: "Battleships are not allowed to leave within 20 kilometers of their current position, cruisers and groups of ships below are not allowed to leave the 5,000 kilometers around the battleships they are attached to, and if enemy ships carry out long-range strikes from a distance, they are not allowed to leave the existing line until the rescue of the mobile ship group arrives." ”

Seeing this tactical instruction that was widely disseminated throughout the fleet in the form of a classified broadcast, all three of us frowned.

Putting aside the correctness of techniques and tactics, as veterans on the battlefield, several of us understand that once the scope of free movement is restricted, and even when it is required, the enemy is not allowed to leave the post when it is covered by long-range fire, which is almost asking the front-line soldiers to only stand and let people fight even if the enemy shoots, and the cruelty behind the order and the command level when giving the order, their real intention is really chilling.

It is conceivable that at this time, the appeals sent by the peripheral detachments to the flagship detachment will surely crowd up the poor communication links.

At 16 hours and 10 minutes, there was a new movement in the fleet, and in the reserve fleet, the cruisers were told to be formed into a separate rapid reinforcement group, and the Youth and Kalian were successively transferred out of the detachment. At 16 hours and 25 minutes, the electronic sand table showed that a group of law enforcement ships composed of destroyers left for the front line of the battle.

"No, do you want to sink the retreating lifeboats and shuttles?"

Once in the Proxima Centauri fleet, which is said to be the strictest military discipline in the universe, Maxim couldn't help but be speechless.

"Isn't this kind of law enforcement fleet like an extension of the Overseer also common in Proxima Centauri's fleet?"

"Only the craziest Imperial Guards have such an organization, and there are few examples of actual operations that carry out the functions of the warlord fleet. The starship battlefield is not an ancient array war, so there is no need to be so harsh. ”

At the same time, we both focused on Verelli, who, as the son of Admiral Kramer, had a true biography of command tactics and must have understood why the fleet command had to implement such an old-fashioned method of warfare.

Verelli's brow furrowed, and when we looked at him, it seemed as if we were on our luck.

Seeing that we were both looking at him, the young man couldn't help but sigh.

"He finally put this tactic into practice. Doesn't he know that many times, even if he does the right thing, others will not thank him? There are many kinds of command tactics, why choose this most hateful one?! ”

In the face of Verelli's self-talk, Maxim and I could only continue to wait and see how the battlefield changed.

After 25 hours, after withstanding nearly nine hours of severe blows, the first-line detachment was on the verge of collapse, and the detachment was no longer fully organized, and the 'battle master' fleet was remarkable, the rapid reaction ship group composed of a large number of cruisers finally attacked.

As a result of Wei Leili's reminder, I noticed that Mrs. Wall had unconsciously suppressed all the combat power, and the direct result of this was that the detachment I deployed had suffered heavy losses in the three directions of the unmanned fleet attack, and could not stay away from the deployment site, and was constantly subjected to long-range fire attacks from the unmanned ship group, many of whom cursed the whole fleet before the temporary time, Immediately, these poor people, along with their starships, turned into artificial supernovas in the dark universe, and were forever reduced to wanderers in a vacuum.

"That means ......?"

I'm not confident in my own judgment, after all, I'm only semi-literate in this regard, can I really see through the strategy of a veteran on the battlefield?

"That's right, that's what you thought, judging by the strength of the unmanned ship group exposed today, it is no longer possible for them to launch a concentrated bombardment tactic of strategic weapons that are enough to threaten the concentrated operation of a large number of starships, that is to say, our fleet can also concentrate its forces arbitrarily like an unmanned fleet. And the trend of victory and defeat lies in this. ”

From the standpoint of a layman, I felt that General Kramer's strategy was a bull's cross, and turned my head to look at Maxim, the expression on his face was no more calm than mine, obviously "I can still operate like this!" The cute look.

I know very well that there is a saying on the earth, "The road is simple." ”

General Kramer's strategy confirms this adage. The main fleet is battering hard, in order to wait for the unmanned ship groups to break their maximum advantage on their own. Once they break up their formations and remove the threat of strategic weapons to the main force of our fleet, then in the same situation of confronting with concentrated forces, the numerical disadvantage of the unmanned fleet will be magnified, and the advantage of the combat gap between individual ships will be sharply narrowed, and the balance of victory and defeat will already tilt in the direction of our solar system.

Looking at Wei Leili again, the young man is still frowning, I think it's very strange, what else is there to worry about, the victory of the fleet battle is only a matter of time, there may be a situation where the interstellar infantry is required to fight, the overall situation is very good, in fact, the battle itself is very simple, we don't have to worry too much about it at all.

"Hey, don't keep a straight face all day long, your dad is so strong, isn't it a winning game."

"I'm not as optimistic as you, his tactics, there is no problem in terms of technology, but the key is not in the technical level, he is now putting himself in the position of public criticism, I am really worried about the result after the battle."

Looking at Wei Leili's expression, I was stunned for a while, sure enough, I don't understand anything at the political level, but no matter what, the fleet battle is won, and the following are all the affairs of the big guys, so let's just enjoy peace.

With a very unproductive plan, I pondered whether or not to have the interstellar infantry prepare. When it comes to clearing the remnants, it is really the time for the interstellar infantry to fight the actual combat means, and it can be regarded as a great military achievement to be able to capture as many enemy main battleships as possible.

I was a little overwhelmed by the imminent victory. Thinking that I was still bent on dying in the last two days, when I couldn't see the dawn of victory, and suddenly the whole situation turned around, victory and peace were just around the corner, and this gap between before and after made me need a buffer time to digest what happened during this time.

Communications Non-Commissioned Officer: "Sir, emergency communications, look at the screen!" ”

The tense tone of the communications non-commissioned officer, as well as the suddenly weird atmosphere on the bridge, made Ji Lingling shiver, the shouting of the bridge dignitaries is not a good thing, could it be that the unmanned fleet has a backhand? Or are they hiding their forces?

The broadcast command was unfolded on the screen in a clear way, "Attention to all units of the fleet, the joint general staff of the joint government of the solar system and the command department of the space force are now directly issuing orders, ordering all sub-fleets and individual ships, and all combat units that have received the order to immediately stop carrying out the existing orders and move to the high orbit of the earth to assemble." The current fleet command was immediately disbanded, and the fleet commander, Camille. Lieutenant General Kramer was relieved of all duties and returned to the military headquarters for investigation. ”

A short broadcast command caused an uproar in my heart, and the question of Maxim next to me made me feel like I fell into an ice cave.

"Retreat now, can this battle be fought?!"
