The "Felling Lumberjack" has more than 100 artillery pieces, which can be said to be armed to the teeth. Its close defense system and energy shield are even more invulnerable, as long as it is within the range of the battleship's gunfire, any fighter can be directly shot down without negotiation.

It would be a joke to shoot at it from a distance.

After sailing for half an hour, the fleet entered the combat space and began to recover the survivors.

According to the survivors' reports, they did not find any human ships other than the frigate.

And that ghostly ship is really invincible, every shot must hit, and the cannon will kill.

As the saying goes, believe that you are a ghost, and the curtain friend Jia Banfei does not believe that a frigate can do anything with him.

At this moment, information was suddenly received that AWACS said that a signal had been detected in the direction of the retreat of that frigate.

The opportunity could not be missed, and the fleet immediately headed in that direction.

This information is rare to be accurate, but it is still incorrect.

The Cerebellar Axe did leave in that direction, but Xu Weiyang found that the time was up, and he had to go and make peace with the main fleet.

Makutomo Jia Banfei didn't realize that he had entered Lin Qi's scope.

The Jiabanfei fleet is less than 30 million kilometers away from the Wanshou Wujiang at the moment, this fleet poses a huge threat to the main existence of the solar system fleet, and the existence of the energy shield is placed in front of everyone like a mountain, and it has always been the henchman of the solar system fleet.

After getting the information that the "felling lumberjacks" were coming, Lin Qi couldn't help but be eager to try.

In Lin Qi's eyes, this "Felling Lumberjack" is like a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and it must be pulled out and then quickly.

Originally, I had been looking for opportunities to break it, but it turned out to be good, and the goods were delivered directly to the door.

But the situation is still a bit sudden, according to the plan, the Wanshou Boundless should wait until the Guanhai converges before acting together.

But the Guanhai has been silent since its last operation, and has not yet been contacted.

At this moment, on the bridge of the Longevity Boundless, the staff officers were in a mess, and various countermeasures emerged one after another.

Some people advocate that there is no need to wait for the Guanhai, and that the large ships and huge guns of the capital ships should be directly dispatched to meet the attack, and crush them by virtue of their tonnage advantage.

But even the Longevity Without Borders doesn't have the ability to compete with the Lumberjack with its energy shield.

Some people suggested that they should continue to retreat and fish, and wait for other capital ships and the aircraft carrier Guanhai to come over and talk about it, but the ammunition of the aircraft carrier Guanhai has been used up, and the carrier-based aircraft will not be able to lay eggs, and even if they converge, they will have no combat effectiveness, which is equivalent to an empty shell.

Looking at the staff scratching their ears and cheeks, Lin Qi said, we don't need to go to such great lengths, we don't need capital ships, we can still use destroyers and frigates to fight this war very exquisitely.

He calculated for everyone: "The opponent has an energy shield, but we don't, it's like two archers shooting at each other, but suddenly one of them has a shield, so what should we do?" If we continue to deal with him in the old ways and continue to shoot arrows, it will be futile and there will be no advantage to be taken. It is necessary to find a way to get our frigates close to them, breaking shields in close combat. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone shouted that the plan was too risky.

The analogy is very appropriate, one side has a shield, of course, it has to be melee, but who doesn't know that you don't get shot into a hornet's nest when you approach him?

So the question is, how do you get close?

Will the other fleet be like a fool and let you approach without moving?

In terms of military thinking, in addition to such ideas as "winning by aviation," "big ships and huge artillery," and "wolf pack tactics," he also has a viewpoint that is completely contrary to the current mainstream, that is, the "theory of close combat."

The long-range style of play has been the mainstream of naval tactical thinking since the 19th century. This is true not only of the solar system, but of the entire universe.

But after the shield was created, one of the characteristics of naval warfare was very similar to that of the sail era before the 19th century, that is, the cannon was thick, and no one could destroy anyone by long-range fighting, just like rookies pecking at each other.

Most of the wars were wars with limited objectives, and did not escalate into wars of national annihilation, so both warring sides also maintained a tacit understanding not to be the first to use nuclear weapons.

Therefore, under the framework of conventional warfare, only attacking and shooting, breaking through enemy lines, and even engaging in broadside battles were the decisive methods in naval warfare in that era.

Lin Qi further explained that the reason why the front of the Longevity Boundless was designed to be so invincible was to break through the enemy's shield like a sharp sword, and during the journey, the large angle greatly increased the chance of ricocheting, and the solid armor could fully resist the frontal shelling.

To put it bluntly, it's the formation.

But the idea is indeed too bold, after all, the Longevity Boundless is the strongest flagship of mankind, and once it is played, the problem is very serious.

Therefore, Lin Qi proposed to let the frigates carry out assaults, use the fully armed front armor to advance, and when they reach the shield, they directly collide with the hull to offset the mass effect of the energy shield.

And the mass effect of a frigate is not comparable to hundreds of shells, and Lin Qi expects that the shield generator will definitely not be able to withstand it.

As a result, the "melee theory", which is characterized by ship collisions, was reborn again after hundreds of years.

Opponents of Lin Qi's plan had no choice but to cite an "ironclad evidence": in the history of cosmic naval warfare so far, not a single battleship has been defeated at close range.

Lin Qi waited until now, and finally waited for an opportunity, he wanted to use actual combat to prove that the "era of close combat" at sea had arrived.

There is no doubt that this is a big gamble.

Under Lin Qi's order, the Solar System Fleet no longer waited for the Guanhai formation, but ended its silence, began to reorganize, and searched the 12th Air Fleet along the scheduled route.

Carrying out the task was a squadron of carrier-based aircraft on the escort aircraft carrier "Jianguo".

The search did not go well, the squadron of carrier-based aircraft was busy for two hours, and did not even see the shadow of the enemy. The pilots were so depressed that they had to return home, by which time the plane's fuel had been more than half depleted.

However, on the way back, a Pelican spotted the belated Lumberjack.

The scene that the pilot saw was very spectacular, with the huge "Felling Lumberjack" in front, the cruiser "Beechwood" behind, and eight destroyers and more than 20 frigates in a triangular shape, surrounded by stars and moons.

After hearing the call, the carrier-based aircraft, which were returning home, immediately changed course and swarmed in. The solar system fleet also began to fire a salvo of missiles.

The reputation of the "Felling Lumberjack" was so great that the pilots were so nervous when they saw the big ship that they forgot to speak.

The pilots were instructed only to destroy the surrounding escort ships, and to resolutely refrain from approaching the "Felling Lumberjack" in case it was irradiated by the gravitational waves of the shield generator, which could cause the aircraft to disintegrate due to excessive force.

On the other hand, after discovering that the humans were attacking, everyone from the shogunate friend Jia Banfei to the ordinary officers and men did not show too panic at first, and the destroyers deployed anti-aircraft fire in an orderly manner.
