Chapter 427: The Battlefield Is the Best Classroom
The Reaper Fleet has fought many times against the Zerg, and each time it will sum up a lot of experience, and this tactic that has been explored in battle is very effective in annihilating the Zerg.
I still remember the first time I faced the Zerg invasion, the Reaper fleet at that time was far less powerful than it is now, and the crew was on the battlefield with a tragic emotion, and paid a terrible price to achieve the final victory.
At that time, when Mu Chen faced the overwhelming swarm, he needed to bite the tip of his tongue to maintain his composure, and now this 100 billion swarm could no longer make him have the slightest fear.
But today, the Zerg is no longer a problem for the Earth Federation, and is even used to train recruits.
Mu Chen suddenly felt very proud, at least his efforts over the years had not been in vain, the strength of the Reaper Fleet was obvious to all, and the Earth Federation was also proudly standing at the top of the universe.
"Lord Death, the results of the first wave of the offensive are remarkable, with zero casualties among the flying troops, and slight losses from the drone group and the intelligent lion group." The intelligence officer reported with a beaming face.
"Not bad." Mu Chen said with satisfaction, "Let the pilots hurry up and recuperate, and they will fight in a while." ”
"The Airborne Forces and the Landing Force are also ready, and Planet 6 Base will be handed over to them to deal with."
When Mu Chen issued the order, several trainee captains were listening carefully, and they were also recording with their optical brains, preparing to go back and study it carefully.
Mu Chen felt a little funny, these trainee captains were still too young, and what they really needed to learn was how to mobilize the morale of the soldiers, not the formulation of tactics.
The captain of the ship does not arrange tactics in every detail, but plays the role of a pinnacle of the sea, grasps the general direction of the operation, and takes countermeasures in response to changes on the battlefield.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I have found that your troops hardly need your command, and they seem to know what to do when they enter the battlefield, why is that?" One of Ilves asked curiously.
Mu Chen replied: "Because they have already figured out a set of most suitable tactics on the battlefield, you see that combat group, 5 fighters form a vector lineup, cooperate with each other to cover, after the head aircraft selects the target, the two wingmen gather fire, and the remaining two are responsible for covering."
This is the best lineup of offense and defense, with the help of drones and intelligent lions, the combat effectiveness is very strong. ”
Leohard said admiringly: "The man who came up with this formation was a genius. ”
"This is what the soldiers have figured out on the battlefield, so the battlefield is the best classroom." Mu Chen said lightly.
"You don't want to spend too much time on the study of tactics, the captain only needs to open his eyes and be able to judge the situation on the battlefield, no matter how good the plan is, it is not as sudden as the change."
This is Mu Chen's own experience, and it is also the key to his ability to sit firmly in the position of commander.
Mu Chen is not a god, and it is impossible to command the troops as freely as his own arm, so the command of the front line is all delegated to the team level, and the squad leader commands by himself, which is much better than Mu Chen's remote command.
It is enough for him to give a clear account of the combat mission and provide support in the event of a critical situation.
The reason is very simple, but to really get to the point where Mu Chen, these trainee captains are still far away, but time will help them grow up gradually.
The Reaper fleet uses kite tactics to hang the swarms from near and far, using the advantage of range to continuously destroy their living forces.
Such a battle is simply a bit of a bully, and although the swarm is numerous, it can't catch up and fight
No, there is no way to fight back.
Anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before this group of bugs is annihilated.
"Report! Planet 5 is home to large Zerg creatures. The intelligence officer suddenly reported.
"Put the picture out."
Soon a huge beetle appeared on the light curtain, and the auxiliary instruments also marked its basic data.
It was a giant flame beetle, reaching an astonishing length of 5,000 meters, and flying extremely fast, comparable to the speed of the Reaper.
The heavy carapace was able to withstand the attacks of the particle beam cannon, and several shots from the Reaper's fleet did no damage.
"Your Excellency, our conventional weapons have no effect on this big guy." The weapons officer reported.
"How long will it take for the Star Destroyer to fire again?" Mu Chen asked.
"At least six hours."
"Your Excellency, the Flame Beetle is approaching us at high speed, and it is expected to attack the Reaper in 30 seconds."
"Give me the control!" Mu Chen decided to make a move.
As soon as Mu Chen's words fell, the trainee captains were surprised to find that the crew in the command room had fastened their seat belts in unison, and even the guards in charge of security at the door had fixed themselves on the deck.
Then he took a deep breath and stuffed two pieces of gum into his mouth, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
What's going on? You must know that when the battle was most fierce before, they were also calm and composed, how can they be scared like this now?
Leohard had served on the Grim Reaper, and he knew some of the rumors recognized by the Grim Reaper, and he fixed himself like the crew, and reminded him loudly:
"Don't you want to die? Hurry up and get ready for protection! By the way, no matter what happens, don't spit it out! ”
The other trainee captains, though a little inexplicable, took protective measures and looked forward to what was to come.
What they didn't expect was that Mu Chen did not speed up his escape, but turned around and rushed towards the flame beetle at full speed.
"Oh my God, is this going to be tough?"
Even the most daring of the men were taken aback, the trainee captains had never seen such a scene, they never imagined that the Death would take the initiative to charge at the swarm.
Mu Chen ordered: "Put down the bow ramming horn, open the front shield, and everyone is ready to collide!" ”
A layer of blue light enveloped the Reaper, and a giant ramming angle 1,000 meters long stretched out from the bow of the ship, emitting a glowing cold light, which was made of high-strength metal at a glance.
The crew hurriedly sat down, ready for the impending impact, and Mu Chen also pressed the charge button of the weather weapon at this time.
[The Cryoray weapon is being recharged, and is expected to be completed in 15 seconds.] 】
The Reaper's indomitable appearance did not frighten the flame beetle, but instead provoked its competitive spirit, opening its mouth and spitting out a cloud of red slime at the Grim Reaper.
This particular slime is highly flammable and can burn even in a vacuum.
The flames enveloped the Grim Reaper entirely, and all in front of Mu Chen were orange-red flames.
Fortunately, the Reaper's energy shield withstood the heat, and the insiders did not feel any changes in temperature.
It's just that the flames seriously blocked Mu Chen's vision, and he could only judge the location of the target by relying on his memory and the strength of the flames.
The Reaper flew towards the place where the flames were at their highest, and the shield's energy was slowly decreasing, and it was about to fall below 50%.
The hearts of the trainee captains were raised, once the shield energy was exhausted, I am afraid that the armor of the Reaper would be difficult to withstand this high temperature.
You must know that the front impact angle is burned red, and the slime spit out by the flame beetle seems to be very corrosive, melting the front part of the impact angle.
Battlestar advanced in the heat and was strongly affected, causing violent jolting, and Mu Chen also controlled the Grim Reaper to rotate axially in order to give the impact angle greater penetration.
The trainee captain finally understood why the crew was so close to the enemy, and now they were like being put into a drum washing machine, and their brains were about to be thrown out.
The stomach was tumbling and the internal organs were about to be misplaced, but after being reminded by Leohard, the trainee captain tried to endure it.
Listen to people's advice, eat well, and be able to become a trainee captain, but none of them are stupid guys, not to mention that as a member of the Space Force, enduring dizziness is a compulsory course for them.
A little cold light came first, and then the gun came out like a dragon, and the Grim Reaper was like a peerless famous gun, and the impact angle in front of it was the head of the gun, holding the spear flower and stabbing at the huge flame beetle.
The ramming horn had long been burned red by the heat, piercing into the body of the flame beetle like a hot knife cutting butter.
The Flame Beetle had been hit like never before, it had been burning others all along, and it had been so hurt that it began to writhe frantically in pain, and desperately tore at the bow of the Death with its big mouth, trying to break free from the impact horns that pierced into its body.
3 pairs of thick chest and feet, constantly slapping the energy shield, each blow will cause a huge vibration, the crew has just experienced the hell spin, there is another round of death shaking, coupled with the terrifying appearance of the flame beetle, where can you hold back, vomit one after another.
Mu Chen glanced back faintly: "After the battle, you are responsible for cleaning the Death Ship thoroughly!" ”
Big brother, you're afraid you're not the devil, right? Can you be a little sympathetic? Sixteen men cleaned the Battlestar, which would take a long time to complete, even with the help of armor repairs.
But no one dared to say what was in their hearts, after all, it was their duty to obey orders, and they didn't dare to think about the fate of daring to disobey orders.
"It's amazing that you're still able to survive such a serious injury." Mu Chen muttered in admiration, facing the flame beetle with teeth and claws, there was no fear at all.
Pressing the launch button in his hand, a silver light spat out from the muzzle of the Frozen Ray and shot directly into the mouth of the Flame Beetle.
"If this doesn't turn out for you, you're really invincible!"
Mu Chen hoped that the Flame Beetle would hold on a little longer, but that didn't happen, as the freezing light quickly froze it into an ice sculpture, and then two laser cannons shattered it into pieces.
This scene frightened the surrounding swarms of insects, and the swarms surrounding the Grim Reaper did not dare to approach for a long time, such a phenomenon had never occurred.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the energy of the flight unit has been replenished."
"All the troops are attacking!" Mu Chen gave an order, and millions of Storm fighters rose into the air again.
The battle was in an orderly manner, and in the face of a swarm several times their own, no one of the Reaper's fleet flinched, as if they were just completing a daily training.
The crew in the command room was still talking and laughing about the previous flame beetles, and they were not nervous at all because of the battle situation.
