Chapter 371: Advent
The progress of the battle situation is basically that the unmanned fleet occupies an absolute advantage in long-range artillery battles of more than 2,000 kilometers, and once a biological and chemical combat ship rushes through the fire network composed of long-range naval guns, the Wolf combat ship begins to suffer casualties.
Compared to the Solar System battleships with a large number of garrison forces to protect them, most of the Wolf starships do not have any garrison troops, and once they are successfully invaded by the Asians, even if only one Asians board the ship, they can destroy the entire Wolf Battleship.
The battle timed for 10 hours and 20 minutes, as more and more biochemical combat ships broke through the fire network, the unmanned ship group on the front line of the battle could no longer maintain the previous fire density, and a large number of unmanned combat ships began to retreat.
In the face of the overwhelming number of biochemical combat ships, the retreat of the unmanned ship group is getting faster and faster. According to tactical computer predictions, in less than half an hour, the huge unmanned ship group located in front of our fleet will lose its position.
This result can be said to have broken our last bit of luck. Mrs. Wall was no match for Bellland's fleet. In our eyes, an advanced and messy unmanned combat ship has extremely limited advantages for the biochemical fleet.
"I said a long time ago, these gang of iron brains are unreliable, now it's our turn to face the biochemical fleet directly, they only lasted six hours, isn't it even as good as our combat power?"
Similar complaints continue in the communication loop. Although the complaints of the fighters are understandable, it is nonsense to really say that the unmanned fleet has failed. The retreat of the unmanned fleet is clearly calculated, a planned retreat. Mrs. Wall's losses were much smaller than expected. Rather than seeing their actions as a last resort, it would be more appropriate to see them as a current use of long-range firepower to consume the enemy.
In fact, since the start of the war, a large number of mechanical infantry, as well as the Wolf elites who have been reinforced later, have still become the main force stationed in the solar system starships. At this point, Zavatu's tactics have been clear, that is, to use the formation of the solar system battleship to fight a close battle with the biochemical fleet.
It can also be seen from the situation on the electronic sand table that the unmanned ship group that retreated as a whole did not run behind us. A large number of unmanned combat ships formed an orderly formation on the two flanks of the solar system fleet, and gradually formed a semi-encirclement posture for the middle part. It is conceivable that while the biochemical fleet concentrates its forces to attack the solar system fleet, the unmanned ship group will continue to use long-range firepower on both flanks to consume the enemy.
This tactic is precise and flexible, and the effect is even more imaginable. I reckon that even if Super Will guesses Zavatu's tactics, it will only be able to attack from the front. This tactic of making full use of the characteristics of the combined fleet itself and giving full play to the strengths of each fleet fully illustrates the level of Zavatu and gives me good expectations for the results of this fleet battle.
The battlefield clocked out for 15 hours, and the regrouped Biochemical Fleet began to attack the reassembled Combined Fleet. This time, they first chose to attack the left flank of the fleet, with a fire strike group composed of unmanned ship groups. However, the unmanned ship group chose to retreat very slippery, so that the attack ship group of the biochemical fleet returned in vain, and the rest, including us at the core of the formation, took advantage of the opportunity of the attack spearhead of the biochemical fleet to be stretched, concentrated firepower and attacked the enemy attack group, giving the biochemical fleet a certain blow.
Immediately hidden in the middle of the army, another group of assault ships suddenly jumped out from the rear of the enemy ships and attacked the right flank of our large fleet, which was approaching because of the firepower. At this time, the unmanned ship group on the right flank, no matter how good the mechanical power is, cannot escape the danger of being caught.
This is Kramer's decisive order to stand by the attack ship group, carrying a large number of interstellar infantry and mechanical infantry of the attack ship group, quickly approached the spearhead of the attack on the left flank from the side, and crashed into it.
The rapid reaction squadron, as the reserve of the whole army, could only observe the progress of the entire battle from a distance at this time.
I don't think Superwill expected his assault boats to be engaged by the Combined Fleet. The battle on the right flank of the Grand Fleet began. From the electronic sandbox and the intelligence of the headquarters, the consumption of our attack force is considerable, even with the addition of mechanical infantry and Wolff elites. It is not easy to defeat the Brandites in the form of pure land warfare.
The battlefield lasted 17 hours, and the battle on the left flank of the enemy was in a stalemate. It is estimated that both sides do not want to see this happen, and with the gradual retreat of tacit understanding, the battle on the right flank came to an end with the time of about 17 hours and 50 minutes with the battlefield. At this time, the casualty figures came out, and in less than three hours of fierce fighting, our marines lost more than 120,000 troops, and the mechanized infantry lost more than 200,000 grassroots combat units, and our results were roughly 5,000 submen. Such an unequal attrition ratio made me uneasy again, who was once optimistic about the development of the campaign.
The enemy's combat effectiveness is so strong, especially in a large army battle, and the combat sub-people with a sufficient number of reinforcements are even more terrifying. The battle that took place on the right flank of the fleet was fundamentally a tactical advantage on the side of the Combined Fleet, but the result was not even superiority. Under the First World War, the results were enough to chill my heart as a land warfare expert.
The battlefield was about 18 hours old, and our rapid response detachment received an order, and the Wanwang advanced to the front line. According to the prediction of the command, the next step of the biochemical fleet will be to adopt the front attack method. The pressure on our front-line combat units will accumulate and increase, and the role of the rapid reaction squadron is equivalent to that of a front-line firefighter, avoiding the collapse of the grassroots units on the defensive line.
It's not the first time I've taken on the role of a firefighter, but this time I'm really unsure of the battle. In the past, the Asians were difficult opponents, but their numbers were often small, and now that they may be overwhelming in numbers, can we really hold our ground?
With the doubts in his heart, the battlefield was timed for 20 hours and 15 minutes, and the biochemical fleet really began to break through in the form of a positive attack, and the direction of their attack was the solar system fleet that had already been lined up.
At 20 hours and 20 minutes, the unmanned ship groups on both wings began to implement fire coverage, and a large area of blood mist rose in the biochemical fleet, and a large number of biochemical combat ships turned into wreckage and space garbage.
However, the enemy was unmoved, and did not care about the fire on the flanks, but only sent large bio-chemical combat ship units that could not resist the defense to block the fire from the small units in the center.
At 20 hours and 50 minutes, the first biochemical assault boat crashed into the hull of our battleship Montenegro, and the real battle of the battle began.
The period from 21 hours on the battlefield to 45 hours on the battlefield was the worst overboard battle I had ever participated in, and as a member of the battlefield firefighters, my rapid reaction detachment had a total of 32,400 officers and men, and by the time of the 45 hours and 05 minutes, only 21,000 people were left alive, and there were 9,000 wounded soldiers.
Compared to the human interstellar infantry, the damage rate of the Wolf mechanical infantry is even higher. Since the Mechintromen have no fear or love, and their actions are designed solely to accomplish their mission, the Mechintron's damage rate is much higher than that of human soldiers.
Similarly, my rapid response detachment is an example, with 53,100 mechanized infantry attacking from the front of the station, and 52 Wolf elites, with an average of one Wolf elite commanding every 1,000 mechs. According to the 45 hours and 5 minutes investigation, the damage rate of the mechs was as high as 95%, a total of 50,000 and 440 machines were incapacitated, and the Wolf elite suffered 32 casualties, more than half of the original number.
If the casualty calculation is extended to the entire Combined Fleet, the number of infantry unit losses is even more in the hundreds of thousands. In turn, the Branders also paid tens of thousands of submen, as well as hundreds of battleship units. When the tide came in, the biochemical combat ships finally stopped moving forward. Although the Combined Fleet still maintained its existing defensive line, it was no longer possible to launch a counterattack or stick to the retreating enemy.
These 24 hours of intense collision have become my new nightmare, and I believe it was a hellish experience for many in the fleet.
At the end of the battle, I was not only exhausted to death, but also mentally numb, and it was not until after two hours of emergency sleep that I realized that another important cadre had died beside me. Zack, a cadre from the internal affairs army who had a very unpleasant quarrel with me at first, was accidentally touched by a fighter when he was commanding the Marine Corps to replenish the defensive line of the battleship Gunsan. His torn corpse could barely piece together a complete human form.
Before I had time to pray for my dead comrades, the hoarse voice of the intelligence non-commissioned officer sounded in the communication loop, "Urgent information, it is suspected that the enemy ship group where the super will is located has moved." They're heading to Mars, what is this going to do? There are problems with the forward speed and angle of incidence...... Are they going to land on Mars!! ”
Immediately, the order for the Marines to attack resounded on the Wanwang, and this time our target was no longer the Biochemical Fleet, and all the Marines received an order to rush to Mars.
