149.Breaking the Formation

"War is a legitimate massacre!" - The Tyranid Empire.

The rudiments of this phrase come from Ishtar's interpretation of war: "War is a legal slaughterhouse, and if you don't kill all the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy." ā€

Maybe this is why the Tyranid Empire in later generations will do genocide and civilization extinction, right? But now Ishtar, put that into practice!

Single, individual killings, no matter how fast they were, were still too slow for him. He wanted to kill as many enemies as he could. However, this is obviously not something he can do with a mech.

Because he was in the entire battlefield, he could feel any intuitive changes on the battlefield very clearly. Although the battle between the two sides on the battlefield seems to be fierce, in fact, only the enemy's warship firepower is more fierce, on the other hand, in other interstellar tactical forces, it is actually not much stronger than the son of Keha.

Suddenly he remembered what Barbara had said to him: "Seven inches to fight a snake!" ā€

He knew that he couldn't rush alone, because any kind of words would be tantamount to looking for death, and the son of Keha, who was slightly weaker in strength, must also be careful to ensure that every warship can give full play to its maximum combat capability.

"Adjutant! Can you concentrate all your artillery fire and attack the middle of the enemy's formation? ā€

"Commander, did you think of a good idea?"

"I don't know if it's a good idea." Ishtar said, "I'm just thinking of General Nelson's deeds, and if we knew about it, the other party should know about it." It is believed that if we concentrate all our strength and attack the middle of his formation, it will inevitably attract the enemy's great attention. ā€

The adjutant should have understood: "You mean, want to induce the enemy?" Do you think that we are going to reproduce General Nelson's practice and form a wrong judgment before using other methods to restrain him? ā€

"Yes, I have that idea in it!" But here he added: "If you can, it's better to really take out all the warships for a surprise attack!" Although our ships are small in tonnage and inferior in firepower and armor, we have the advantage of speed and agility. ā€

This was a very risky approach, because he was going to take a big gamble, and if he failed, the entire garrison of Tasanis would be buried by him! Maybe even if it is a victory, the loss will definitely not be small, or it can only be said to be a pyrrhic victory.

If this was a plan proposed by an ordinary combat staff officer, the adjutant would definitely refuse it with strict order, because she could not joke with the lives of the soldiers! But if Ishtar says it this way, then it is incumbent on all the people to die for him.

However, the adjutant still said: "The enemy's fleet is stronger than ours, and if we meet head-on, the defeat of the fleet is almost the only possibility." Hope you've got a better note! ā€

Esta only smiled confidently at this and replied, "I'm on the battlefield right now, and I'm not going to joke with my own life!" ā€

At this moment, even he may not know why, he himself has such confidence. In fact, if you want to say that you want to attack the enemy's strong fleet with the weakness of your own warships, this is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg! But his self-confidence doesn't seem to be adulterated, it's self-confidence from the heart!

The adjutant didn't say anything, and immediately wanted to convey the order. The requirement is that all defensive firepower be concentrated in the middle of the enemy's formation, and that there is a fleet of our own troops hiding behind the defensive system, and almost all of them will be dispatched without reservation.

War is not an all-or-nothing gamble, and this seemingly completely insane act is no different from going to death. Quite a few people are saying, "What if it fails and the fleet is destroyed?" ā€

But the answer was: "What if the outer space defense line collapses?" ā€

Yes, Tasannis's interstellar defense system is the key to the defensive battle, if this fleet is broken by the enemy, only the Son of Keha, may be the opponent of the Federation fleet?

However, this is not completely unreasonable, as a top student from the combat command department graduated from Tesha Kawa, Barbara stared at the star map from the very beginning of receiving this order, and simulated in her mind the feasibility of the two-column charge tactic if General Nelson was used.

It's just that the result is that unless it is a warship on both sides, at least it must be comparable in quality, otherwise this good tactic of breaking the ground formation can basically only be regarded as a harassment war against the enemy. You must know that if the enemy and the enemy are mixed, your own defensive artillery will not be of much help.

"No, although this tactic seems to be effective, there are quite a few variables, and the advantages and disadvantages of the one-line formation, the enemy will definitely not be a fool to ignore." Barbara gritted her teeth, and suddenly something came to mind: "Isn't the person who came up with this method to recreate the Battle of Trafalgar?" It's—"

"Battle of Salamis!"

The Battle of Salamis was almost a decisive battle of racial crisis, and it was also the most used attack tactic by pirates. That is, after the warships of the two sides collide or connect, the tactical personnel of both sides directly participate in the battle.

Ishtar has already thought very clearly, since his own warships are not comparable to the other party, then use his own good side, if he is close to the body of the Federation ship, he does not believe that the enemy will not casually aim at his allies with cannons. The inevitable final result is that the ships of the two sides are in close combat, and in terms of individual combat ability, the son of Keha is definitely not weaker than the Federation in this regard!
