146 Sophia's style of war
According to Sophia's orders, the Fourth and Fifth Fleets began to set up their lines with their backs to the entrance of the Star Path.
Among them, Sophia's Fifth Fleet was located in the center of the defensive line, slightly protruding forward, and forming a triangular formation, which did not look like it was going to be defended, and it was completely prepared for a surprise attack.
The Fourth Fleet was divided into two fleets of 10,000 Orca-class battleships, tentatively codenamed the First Column and the Second Column.
The two columns moved to the sides of the Fifth Fleet and laid fire coverage at a distance of 1 million kilometers from both sides of the Fifth Fleet!
The so-called fire coverage array is to spread the fleet like a net to ensure that each battleship can fire at the same time, and at the same time can cover a large area with firepower.
When the front was arranged, the 700,000 warships of the Kabat Empire had also rushed to a distance of 3 million kilometers.
Their mission is to open the entrance to the path of Cecil at all costs, so that the subsequent fleet can evacuate without hindrance!
"Fire!"
With the orders of the commanders of both sides, the dark void was suddenly illuminated, and countless energy bullets had beamed and quickly swept through the void.
Since the distance was still very long, the commanders of the Kabat Empire also used area coverage shooting!
After all, at such a distance, if you want to concentrate your fire and attack, the hit rate will be terrifyingly low.
Covering shots, on the other hand, can maintain a hit rate within an acceptable range, no matter how the opponent changes formation and maneuvers.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, under covered fire, it is almost impossible for a human warship to be hit by multiple main guns at the same time.
Therefore, for the human fleet with shields, there is basically no threat at this stage, and the real threat is that the distance between the two sides is reduced to within 1 million kilometers, and at this time, the Kabat Empire can start to concentrate fire and carry out relatively accurate attacks.
But will Sophia give them that chance? The answer is clearly no!
Don't look at the battlefield, there are only 40,000 warships on the human side, but to put it bluntly, the firepower that these 40,000 killer whale-class warships can burst out is not weaker than a main army of the Kaba Empire, that is, 300,000 multi-ship warships.
Moreover, at three million kilometers, the main guns and secondary guns of the Orca-class battleships can attack, while the fleet of the Kabat Empire can only attack with the main guns of the battlecruisers, and the secondary guns are not enough.
Originally, the battleships could also be attacked, but unfortunately, the entire army of battleships was withdrawn by Hamid, and 80,000 of them had just been buried in the orbit of Werther III.
The remaining 50,000 ships are also lying on the makeshift conversion line under Hamid's orders.
Therefore, there are no battleships in the fleet of the Kaba Empire, and the strongest is the battle cruiser.
In addition to these two types of ships, other cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and air carriers do not have the ability to launch attacks from a distance of three million kilometers, especially frigates, which can only start attacking after entering a million kilometers.
On the other hand, the human fleet, all killer whale-class battleships, 3 million kilometers will directly implement dense firepower coverage on you by the whole fleet, plasma cannons and numerous positive electron cannons, which can definitely make the fleet of the Kabat Empire doubt life.
In fact, now the commander of the Kabat Empire is already doubting life.
The firepower of the 40,000 warships on the opposite side turned out to be several times stronger than its own 700,000 warships?
Well, the commander obviously forgot that although he had 700,000 warships, he was currently attacking only 60,000 battlecruisers with a range permitting.
The number of guns and the caliber of the main and auxiliary guns of the battle cruisers were much worse than those of the battleships.
As time passed, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the firepower on Kabat's side gradually increased as the distance approached.
After all, there are more naval guns and types of ships that can fire.
"Xiao Lizi, it's about to start, the columns on both wings began to project crossfire into the center of the opposing fleet, and I took the Fifth Fleet to start the assault, and your crossfire should be extended backwards according to the progress of my assault, understand?"
"Okay, leave it to me!"
The Fourth Fleet, located on both flanks of the Fifth Fleet, gave up the frontal covering shot, and each turned 20 degrees towards the middle, and then a crossfire was formed, with the frontal fire of the Fifth Fleet, directly causing a violent blow to the central array of the Kabat Empire!
The next moment, before the commander of the Kabat Imperial Fleet could react, Sophia began to act, and the Fifth Fleet directly ran the sub-light engine at full power and started a surprise attack in a straight line towards the center of the opponent's array.
The maximum speed of the Orca class warship is 50,000 kilometers per second, which is completely up to the standard of sub-light speed, and 2 million kilometers does not even need a minute for it.
And the main guns of the battleships of the Kabat Empire take a minute to recharge after each launch!
It is conceivable that in the interstellar era, each level of civilization technology is an absolute leap, as long as the civilization is one level higher can form an absolute crush, unless your quantity reaches the level of irreparable quality.
It's like the Zerg in Lin Fan's various film and television works in his previous life?
With the surprise attack of the Fifth Fleet, the two columns of the Fourth Fleet also adjusted the angle of the battleship while firing, so that the intersection of fire continued to move farther away.
This approach directly formed a fire cover for the Fifth Fleet in the assault, protecting the Fifth Fleet until it rushed into the enemy line!
The result was not much different from what was expected, and the Fifth Fleet, under the cover of the Fourth Fleet, including the time to accelerate, only took more than 1 minute to crash directly into the enemy formation.
Sophia, who cut into the enemy formation, can be said to be even more excited.
"Xiao Lizi, your crossfire can be stopped, give me the array to contain their two wings, and hand it over to me in the middle!"
"Okay, be careful!"
WELL, SOPHIA, WHO WAS IN THE ARRAY OF PLACES, WAS COMPLETELY HIGH.
"Haha, fire at me, you can fire anywhere, it's all enemy ships anyway!"
Everyone in the bridge is sweating, and the character of their own commander is really...
In fact, it's not that Sophia is dizzy with excitement, but that he has quite confidence.
What is the situation with the Fifth Fleet now? It was cut directly into the array of the Kabat Empire, and the Kabat Empire was unable to do it with all its strength for fear of accidental injury, while he could fire at the outside of the assault array without any scruples.
And the most important thing is that the main guns of the third-level civilization can only fire forward, so if the battleships of the Kabat Empire want to attack the Fifth Fleet with their main guns, they must first turn and turn the bow towards the other side.
If you don't use the main gun, the secondary cannon is too powerful to form an effective threat to the energy shield, and as for other cruisers, destroyers, battleships, etc., the main guns equipped on them are much less powerful than the secondary guns of the killer whale class.
This is also the reason why human beings are not equipping these types of ships, too small in size means that they cannot be equipped with high-powered naval guns, with small caliber and short range.
What can these ships do in today's shielded world? On the battlefield, it's just pure cannon fodder!
