Chapter 277: Destruction (3)
The battlefield was timed for 8 hours, the three outgoing high-speed ships retreated, and the atmosphere on the bridge of the Wanwang was solemn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Our plan to attack two batteries failed. The turrets are able to cooperate with each other, and the killing range of Titan-class weapons is far beyond imagination, even if a starship like the Karen, which is designed for high-speed sailing, it cannot guarantee that it will be 100% out of the kill zone.
Several times the attitude control engine of the high-speed ship against the battery was eliminated, and the starship turned back to being shelled by the No. 3 battery at any cost.
In this situation, let alone sending interstellar infantry, even if the Wanwang takes the initiative to approach, the result will be fatal.
While I was pondering whether or not to fail the mission for Green's report, the communications non-commissioned officer reported in a strange voice that a new communication command had been in.
Communication Command: "This is the temporary command of the fortified defense fleet. Now I ask you to divide the fleet and launch an attack on battery No. 5 at all costs, in conjunction with the further actions of the Grand Fleet. ”
The newsletter is very short, but it has a terrible content.
What does it mean to attack at all costs. The problem now is that Battery 3 is launching a defensive attack in a short time, and if we really send a starship to the top at all costs, the most likely outcome will be to be reimbursed by Battery 3's 'Glory of God' in one shot.
Maxim: "Sir, this is a bastard's order, and we can't follow it, or we'll all die here." ”
Me: "I don't need you to remind me I'm not stupid. ”
To my annoyance, this is a system-certified command that does come from the fortress's command system. In the end, do you want to obey the command.
I remember the last phone call with Greene, and he made it clear that his command of our detachment was to be accepted only by him. I changed my response to these two contradictory commands.
Communications Non-Commissioned Officer: "Sir, the order to urge us has been issued again, calling for us to attack with all our strength at once!" ”
I can almost imagine that behind the fortress chain of command is a nasty guy who doesn't understand anything, or doesn't treat the soldiers as human beings.
I don't have to worry about whether or not to carry out orders, because I am only responsible to the fleet command.
Me: "Reply to them, this detachment is only under the command of the Space Fleet Command, and they have no right to mobilize us into battle. ”
As soon as my reply came out, I could clearly hear the exhale of most people on the bridge in their breath.
Communications Non-Commissioned Officer: "The other side responded that they would send you to a court-martial" after the war. ”
Me: "Don't worry about him, now the detachment is starting to withdraw from the theater of operations and report to the main fleet that the mission is in difficulty." ”
Just as the squadron of ships, including the supply and maintenance ships, turned around and prepared to leave, we saw an incredible scene from the wide-area monitor.
A large number of starships, rushing down from the zenith like meteor showers, thought of launching a fierce attack on Battery 5. The volley of the railgun of the cheats instantly enveloped the heavily armored turret in brilliant light.
"Damn, they even used a dense formation, don't they want to die?"
Maxim spoke my heart.
"I'm afraid they, like us, have been ordered to attack Battery 5 at all costs."
There was a deep sorrow in Verelli's tone.
I stared in the direction of Battery 5 in a daze, although I was not optimistic about this attack, but I always felt that if there was a starship with a marine unit approaching, maybe it would really be able to conquer this battery. I hesitated to get rid of the large number of assault boats and send them in while the fleet was attracting the attention of the batteries.
Intelligence Non-Commissioned Officer: "Battery 5 is turning rapidly, and its muzzle is pointing ...... Oh, my God! It is the position of Battery No. 3. ”
As the intelligence sergeant marked the sand table, I noticed that the target of the attack on Battery 5 was really the vicinity of Battery 3. Of course, it is impossible for it to attack the vacuum, there is only one possibility, and there are also a large number of starships involved in the attack at the same time.
By this point, the tactical structure of the upper echelons of the fortress had emerged. They intend to take advantage of their numerical superiority and attack two batteries at the same time, so that they cannot form a synergy. The key to this tactic should be to interfere with the data area around the turret and prevent them from being synchronized in time.
"I'm very skeptical about the feasibility of this tactic, not to mention the luck involved, we haven't figured out how the enemy controls the battery, how do we know that ordinary communication jamming can work."
Maxim and I nodded to Vicelli's judgment.
Looking at the cosmic battlefield on the wide-area monitor, a mist deeper than darkness and a darker red than a blood flail appeared around the attack ship group.
"It's not good, give a warning, let them avoid it immediately!"
This is the attack of the auxiliary defense of Battery 3, just as the auxiliary defense of Battery 5 is the same as the active defense of the opposite side of Battery 5. As Verelli said, ordinary jamming did not solve the problem of intelligence coordination on the other side. The two batteries were ready in time to get a clear view of each other's attacking ship groups.
Just as the Communications Sergeant issued the warning and the true return went unanswered, the attack of 'Glory of God' entered its final phase.
The fleets of ships that poured down like a waterfall of light, including cruisers, destroyers, and a large fleet of battleships and assault boats, disappeared into space in the blink of an eye.
Visible light can't tell, but my brain perception can hear tens of thousands of dying roars pouring out at the same time. In the direction of Battery 3, there was a similar situation with the release. In less than 5 minutes, all the starships involved in the attack disappeared. Just as they delivered to the door, Glory of God used its maximum firepower and efficiency.
On the bridge, "......"
Corresponding Non-Commissioned Officer: "Sir, a call has been received from the top of the fortress saying that our detachment is responsible for the failure of this attack. ”
This big joke almost pulled me out of the abyss of grief.
Me: "Give them a reply, they are responsible for the indiscriminate command, so that tens of thousands of soldiers were sent to death in vain, but also let them pray that the command and communication will not be overheard by the enemy, otherwise they will not have the opportunity to be punished." ”
I am now finally able to understand how far the essentialism has come within the solar system. The tactics that come up with a pat on the head must be implemented immediately by the front-line soldiers, and once they lose, they put the blame on others. These guys, who usually only know how to dump internally, are actually more terrifying than enemies in the face of the field. People who die because of their mistakes are really not worth it.
Me: "Why is there no reply?!" It's not like the other side is shirking responsibility. ”
Communications Non-Commissioned Officer: "I've tried to reach out, but it doesn't seem to be accepting communication requests anymore." ”
Intelligence Non-commissioned Officer: "Sir, when you were in contact with the defense department of the fortress just now, Battery 3 had a high-energy response that directly acted on the target direction of the communication. I think that's the temporary headquarters for the defense of the Blockade. ”
Me: "Trick to death, put the headquarters in front of that?" ”
“......”
No one answered me. But I only fight, everyone agrees with me, the fortress defense department, not only sent tens of thousands of starship soldiers to death, but also failed to get a good one. It's strange to be so close to the target battery that you don't notice.
Although I did not have the worry of being held accountable by a court-martialed after the war, I began to look less optimistic about the defensive battles of the fortress. Just now, the stupid command cut off hundreds of starships, how many fleets have been assembled here in the fortress, can they really withstand the delivery of hundreds of ships?
Command Communication: "This is the Acting Commander of the Fleet, Green, who asks all starships that can fight, obey the command of the fleet, and do not carry out the orders of other non-professional departments. In the name of the acting commander, he has ordered all starships to move in and leave the range of the fortress battery. The fleet regrouped. ”
I looked at the monitor, and the content of the command fell into deep thought.
"Sir, everyone is waiting for your instructions."
I was reminded by Maxim that I realized that the detachment needed me to respond to this order. I was completely immersed in the interpretation of Green's command. If I didn't understand it wrong, his order actually meant that the Moon Fortress had fallen.
The funny thing is that even now, we don't know what kind of enemy attacked, and the Moon Fortress, which was considered infallible, was inexplicably lost.
"Sir...."
Me: "Okay, no need to rush. Now I order the detachment to move in and assemble in the target area according to the instructions of Acting Commander Green. ”
