147.Breaking the Formation [I]
The Federation's armies were menacing, and when they arrived in the outer realms of Tassanis, they presented a typical horizontal linear array, which was in pursuit of maximizing the fleet's firepower output.
The moment they entered the firing range, the starfleets of both sides immediately launched artillery bombardment.
But from the moment the battle began, the fleet of the Son of Keha was completely suppressed in terms of firepower. The reason is simple - the battleship is weak!
The two sides may be roughly equal in number, after all, the Federation's expeditionary force at this time does not actually have many warships. But in terms of tonnage, the perception of both sides is much greater!
You must know that because the previous son of Keha paid more attention to the strategy of guerrilla warfare, most of the base starports were built Liberators, which are small ships that are almost equivalent to patrol ships. However, even the second type of battleship that could be produced was only a standard-class battlecruiser. Compared to Gerald's flagship "Alexander", which is a large-tonnage battleship of the battleship class, this is completely incomparable!
Naturally, from the battleship bombardment, if you don't fall into the wind, you will be a ghost. The commander of the Son of Keha hurriedly adjusted his defensive tactics and retreated into the interstellar defense system of Tasannis, preparing to continue the fight against the enemies of the Federation!
After gaining the advantage of the battleship against the bombardment, in order to expand the results of the battle. Gerard rearranged the formation, and all the fleets lined up, like Tasanis pouring the ship's gunfire. Dense beams and barrages fell as if it were raining.
Son of Keha, Command.
"This is a classic battleship that has been handed down since the era of the Federation sailing ships, and it is said that the origin of the name battleship is also famous for this!" Barbara, who was born as a combat staff officer, described the enemy's current situation in the simplest language: "This kind of horizontal column can allow all the gunfire of the battleship to fire a salvo in one direction, and pursue the maximum output of the battleship's firepower." ”
Ista is the trump card of the Son of Keha, and he needs to play when the battle is deadlocked, and he needs to get more information now: "Is there any good way to crack this array?" ”
"Yes!" Barbara said: "This is a one-line formation, so it is like a snake lying horizontally, as long as you know how to hit seven inches, you can naturally crack this formation." But it should be noted that we do not have a leading flagship! ”
Barbara drew a line on the star map, like a machete, and cut through the enemy's array.
It's one thing to have a way, but whether or not you can complete this plan is another thing. First of all, you must know that if you rush towards the enemy, you will inevitably take full damage from the enemy. The leading flagship must stand the test of artillery fire!
This is followed by other ships that follow, perhaps with the courage to follow the flagship into enemy lines. Otherwise, if only the flagship goes to the battlefield, no matter how powerful the flagship is, it will inevitably be annihilated in the face of countless enemies.
More importantly, the warships of the two sides collided together, and it is conceivable that the artillery defense system of the defending side must be concerned about the possibility of accidental injury. This also means that if you rush into the enemy formation, if you can't defeat it, it means that you will rush in and die!
Barbara recounts a famous case from the history of the Confederation: "In the Battle of Trafalgar, the famous Confederate general, who used this tactic, used two columns to penetrate the enemy and cut the enemy into three sections, thus winning the whole war. But because he was riding on a flagship, he was also devastated, and even this great man was killed on the spot! ”
It can be said that this is actually the strategy of using the initiative to charge and disrupt the enemy's formation as the goal. If it were not for a decisive battle, no one would dare to fight the enemy in such a way of sending them to the death!
At present, most of the fleets left by the sons of Keha in Tasanis are small and medium-sized ships, with only a few battleships serving as the flagships of several formations. And most of the generals with combat experience have also left Tasannis. For example, the Minotaur and Amazon, as well as Gore and Eva are gone.
Ishtar said, "Either way, we're going to give it a try, and I'll take the lead for you first!" ”
He is self-aware, knowing that he is not a qualified general, and he does not have the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away. But he should be considered a qualified warrior who can charge forward and gallop on the battlefield!
On the holographic projection of the battle situation, the battle is clearly displayed. The valiant warriors of the Sons of Keha have already fought to the enemy and are fighting to the death.
"What are you going to do?" Barbara said, "You're an ace, you should be the last to be the final one!" ”
"Pressing the array? What else is pressing? Ishtar said, "You should also know that Starfleet is the key to victory in the war!" If our fleet is finished, what is the use of me pressing the formation? ”
The most important civilization in the universe is Starfleet, or the entire star force. If all the interstellar forces stationed on the planet are finished, it is equivalent to the ground troops trapped in a planet, but the enemy can continue to invade, and it can be said that there will hardly be any suspense in the war!
What if Ishtar is an ace? Even if it is a god-level powerhouse, if he wants to single-handedly take on a starfleet, he will probably frown! What's more, he is far inferior to a god-level powerhouse, only by taking advantage of the fact that his own fleet has not lost its combat power, all of them will give it a go, and maybe there will be a possibility of victory!
Barbara must have thought of this as well, so she stopped stopping it. However, she also gave an opinion: "The other party is in a one-line formation, and each ship is closely following the previous one, so what I am most afraid of is being cut off, as long as I can destroy one from it, this formation can be broken!" ”
"Is it okay to have any ship as long as you have the chance?"
"Theoretically, it's better to hit a third or two-thirds of the joints." Here, Barbara made a simple analogy: "It's like an ancient phalanx, the opponent is lined up horizontally, and you have a group of cavalry, if you charge into the middle of the enemy's formation, you will inevitably be surrounded by both sides." But only breaking the enemy's head and tail can not only break the enemy's formation, but also allow yourself to have a greater chance to rush out! ”
