"The weakness of Zhang Jin's fleet is actually the Thunder Dragon Fleet that came to help." Feng Kailong replied.

"Why is that? Could it be that the Thunder Dragon Fleet is not strong enough? Liu Yiqi said.

"In the final analysis, it is because the Thunder Dragon Fleet is not under the direct command of Zhang Jin, and when it is time to fight, the execution of orders may not be so tacit. In this kind of large-scale fleet battle, the strength of the two sides is so evenly balanced, and the final decision is often the details. ”

"I see." Liu Yi nodded and said, "It seems that Li Xingqi has a better chance of winning this war." ”

"It's just a frontal battle." Feng Kailong said: "I have said before that war should be considered holistically, and many times having an advantage on the battlefield may not lead to the final victory, and there are countless examples of this in history. ”

"That is to say, if Zhang Jin wants to win this war, he must find a way elsewhere."

"That's right, that's what it means." Feng Kailong nodded and said.

Feng Kailong's words made Liu Yi look forward to the next war process even more, I don't know how Li Xingqi and Zhang Jin, the two military strongmen in the world, will win this war......

At this time, in the outer space of the Sea Eagle Galaxy, Li Xingqi and Zhang Jin's fleets were busy adjusting their queue formations, and both sides attached unprecedented importance to this battle.

In the previous wars between the two, almost all of them relied on their strong military strength to easily conquer cities, and it was the first time that they encountered a strong enemy like each other.

There is no room for error in a war of strong confrontation, so both sides are extremely cautious that even the slightest problem must be corrected in time so as not to become a weakness that can be exploited by the other side in battle.

After dozens of hours of preparation, Li Xingqi's side was completely prepared, so he didn't waste any more time and ordered the fleet to start attacking.

As Li Xingqi's fleet began to approach, Zhang Jin's side also reacted and began to unfold the formation of the fleet, forming a very common phalanx.

Such formations are extremely common in fleet warfare, and large and small warships are arranged in a neat cube according to different types and functions, which looks like a huge cube from a distance.

The advantage of the square formation is that it is easy to command and dispatch, and no matter which direction the enemy comes from, the combat power of each part of the formation is very even.

Zhang Jin's adoption of this conventional and bland formation is his own considerations, the Thunder Dragon fleet that came to help the battle and Zhang Jin's own fleet have not undergone joint exercises before, so if complex and changeable tactics are adopted, it is easy to lead to incoordination of mutual cooperation, it is better to use this most conventional, everyone is familiar with the formation, which can minimize mistakes.

Li Xingqi's thinking was different from Zhang Jin's, he had already seen that the key to the victory or defeat of this operation was the Thunder Dragon fleet, a fleet that had never undergone joint exercises, and it was bound to be not skilled enough to cooperate with Zhang Jin's own fleet, such an obvious weakness Li Xingqi could not take advantage of?

Therefore, Li Xingqi discharged an unconventional formation, he divided his fleet into two, one part of the fleet attacked Zhang Jin's fleet from the front, and the other part went around the opponent's flank and attacked from the other direction, trying to use this method to tear apart Zhang Jin's square formation.

It was seen that Li Xingqi's fleet gradually divided into two parts as it advanced, one part continued to approach from the front, and the other part accelerated towards the flank of the phalanx.

Zhang Jin immediately discovered Li Xingqi's intentions, and he ordered the ships on the flanks to turn around and face the enemy forces around the flank, but the formation still maintained the shape of a phalanx.

Soon the two sides were within range of each other, and Li Xingqi immediately ordered the attack to begin, and one after another the battleships began to shoot at the enemy with particle cannons.

Due to the thorough preparation of both sides, the deployment of the defensive shield blocked the beam of the particle cannon, and although the fire of each side was very dense, it did not cause much damage.

About half an hour later, the fleets of both sides began to rotate in unison, and I saw that the ships of both sides were rotating in an orderly manner according to their usual training, which showed that they were both well-trained fleets.

This exchange of fire and rotation lasted for three hours, and neither side took advantage of it, and not even any warships were destroyed, and the fight was decent and very protective.

Li Xingqi saw that the other party did not show any flaws, and knew that today's battle would not have any results, so he ordered to start an orderly retreat.

Zhang Jin's side did not have any intention of pursuing, and let Li Xingqi's fleet retreat calmly, both sides tacitly understood that the first firefight was a temptation, and no one dared to take risks easily.

As the fleets of both sides withdrew from the battle, the first exchange of fire ended in such a dull battle, which can be said to be quite rare, enough to see that each side was extremely cautious.

After the battle, Li Xingqi immediately convened a meeting of the captains of each ship and various staff members to discuss the next combat plan.

The first day of battle, while lackluster, still has a lot of meaning for those in charge of the data. At the meeting, the officer in charge of data analysis made a report to everyone, and through data analysis, they have a clearer understanding of Zhang Jin's fleet, including the number of ships on the other side, the types of ships, and the data related to the ships have been summarized in great detail.

It can be said that after only one battle, there are not many secrets between each other, and the next battle will depend on how the commander plays.

After listening to these data analysis reports, Li Xingqi said to the officers under him: "What do you think? What should we do in the next battle? ”

The officers looked at each other, there was really nothing to say, it was actually difficult to have any unexpected battles in such a battle, and it was difficult to catch the opponent's weakness unless the opponent took the initiative to make a mistake.

Li Xingqi saw that everyone had nothing to do, so he said to the officer in charge of the data: "Can you mark the Thunder Dragon Fleet separately in the hologram?" ”

The officer nodded and replied, "Yes, because the ships of the Thunder Dragon Fleet are different from Zhang Jin's fleet, they can be distinguished according to the type of ship." ”

As he spoke, the officer typed a piece of code on his portable computer, and then looked at the holographic projection image in the conference room, the ships of the Thunder Dragon fleet had all turned red, while Zhang Jin's own fleet was blue.

Li Xingqi pointed to the holographic projection and said: "Look, this part is the Thunder Dragon Fleet, and the key to our battle this time is to start with the Thunder Dragon Fleet." This fleet came temporarily, and Zhang Jin's fleet must not cooperate well enough, we have to find a way to expand this weakness, and then find fighters from it. ”

The officers stared at the holographic projection for a long time, when one of the staff members suddenly said, "I have thought of a way!" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at the staff member at the same time, and they saw that the man was standing against the wall in the corner, not even a seat.

This person is very young, looking like he is only in his 20s, and he should be an ordinary staff officer of a certain ship, and it stands to reason that he is not qualified to participate in such military meetings in normal times.

However, today Li Xingqi had gathered all the main officers and staff of each ship, so this young staff officer had the opportunity to attend such an important meeting.

Li Xingqi leaned back in the chair and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" What do you think of? ”

The young man bowed to Li Xingqi before replying, "My name is Huo Yang, and I am the lieutenant staff officer of the CE1456 ship. The way I came up with this was that we could have our fleet make some special moves when the Thunder Dragon fleet was rotated to the front of the formation, so that if we came a few more times, the enemy commander would definitely be shaken by the Thunder Dragon fleet......"

This young staff officer named Huo Yang actually only had a vague idea, and he didn't think about what to do. The senior officers present only smiled faintly at the young man's whimsy, and did not think about it at all, including Li Xingqi.

However, Li Xingqi himself is actually very young, so he is still happy to encourage young officers to be motivated.

So Li Xingqi smiled and said: "It's good to have such an idea, although it is not mature at the moment, but it is a good reference." I see it like this...... Suddenly...... Second Lieutenant Huo Yang, you can think about this idea more carefully after you go down, and it is best to write it down and submit it to me, what do you think? ”

Huo Yang was just a simple young man, and he didn't hear Li Xingqi's words, but actually sent him away politely.

I heard Huo Yang reply very seriously: "Yes! Sir! I'll definitely write it in earnest! ”

"Good!" Li Xingqi nodded and said: "It is necessary to have such enthusiasm, and I hope that other people will also use their brains more......"

Li Xingqi's intention in saying this was to encourage everyone, if none of them spoke, it would be difficult for the meeting to continue. However, these words sounded to Huo Yang, and there was no doubt that they were great encouragement from the Supreme Commander.

The first time he participated in an important meeting, he could receive Li Xingqi's encouragement, Huo Yang's heart was about to burn, and he secretly vowed to write today's ideas into a practical action plan.

The meeting ended not long after, in fact, everyone didn't have a good way, and Li Xingqi didn't expect everyone to come up with any strange tricks, mainly to encourage morale.

After resting for more than ten hours, Li Xingqi ordered the start of a second attack, and he deliberately shortened the interval in between, hoping to put more pressure on the opponent.

The second firefight was almost exactly the same as the first, Li Xingqi still used the same formation, and Zhang Jin's side also used the same method to deal with it.

The two sides exchanged fire for four hours, and apart from a few ships that had a slight problem, there were almost no losses or casualties, and a boring battle ended as if there had been no fighting at all.
