Chapter 118: The Glory of Blood XVII
The stars in the galaxy are still very young, and the young stars are always a bit tyrannical, and the occasional explosion will unceremoniously disrupt the entire balance within the galaxy. Although the www.biquge.info is inconvenient for human survival, it is an unexpectedly suitable place for war. It's the ideal place to be in a simple but varied venue, where the commanders of the warring sides are pitted against each other.
If it was just a simulated battle, Feng Qingyin might be happy to compare with the two commanders on the other side. And now, although the opponent has not changed, but the weight of the contest has become real flesh and blood, Feng Qingyin's chosen tactics are much more cautious. Although Feng Qingyin's so-called prudent choice is just a choice between "gambling" that is 30% sure and "risk" that 50% is sure of.
But for war, whether it is "gambling" or "risking", it means risk.
Lu Lu is actually a calculating man, a commander who is eager to calculate all the variables, and he wants to put all the variables into the plan. Whether it was the timing of the battle, or the choice of this place as a battlefield, Lulu never gave the allies a chance.
Centered on the battlefield, search the surrounding area. The content of the order was confirmed with the staff team before the start of the battle, but the exact timing of its execution needed to be confirmed by Lu Lu himself.
Although the specific tasks represented by the order were handled by a staff team, Lu Lu usually only had to sign his name at the end of the paperwork. But this time, out of some cautiousness, Lu Lu chose to intervene himself, while mentally calculating the scale of the star's latest solar wind eruption, while writing orders on the electronic board. After a brief hesitation, Lelu determined the scope of his search at 0.8 light-years.
Lu Lu's orders were somewhat different from the originally agreed plan, but Li Ce's staff officers were well adapted to these sudden changes. After all, anything can happen on the battlefield, and the chief of staff doesn't even have the idea of refuting one or two things with this level of change.
When the commanders of the air forces on the major aircraft carriers got their combat missions, they found that the search range had been expanded by more than a third. Everyone knew how difficult the mission was, and the enemy's armament showed an almost overwhelming superiority.
The space fighters commonly equipped by the Yanhuang Federation have weaknesses in defense, and their protection is so weak that the firepower of the conventional short-range defense system in the universe can pose a threat. Until a certain numerical superiority is formed, space fighters cannot face the escort fire of a full formation.
Whether it's a pilot facing a life-and-death decision, or a commander commanding operations on an aircraft carrier. When the space fighter entered the state of jump, the oath of the aviation was shouted in the communication channel: Do your best, victory belongs to the Federation.
In this war, the lack of troops has almost become a dead knot that the Yanhuang people cannot untie. Despite the difficult time at the beginning of the war, both the main battlefield in the east and the Gillesis cluster in the southeast remained at an awkward number.
Since the eastern part of the main battlefield could not guarantee sufficient troops, the original supply sequence of the Gillesis cluster where Lu Lu and them were located was behind, and after the eastern counterattack kicked off, all the original reinforcements were also withdrawn. Lu Lu was even more cautious in the use of aviation, after all, this is a special branch of the military that cannot use cloning technology to quickly replenish personnel.
"After this war, there is a shortage of at least four million. Where can the Ministry of Defense go to find so many drivers. "The piloting requirements of space fighters are indeed a bit high, but they are just a necessary skill in the traditional Yanhuang society. The problem is that the conditions for space fighters and starship crews are highly consistent, and under the premise that the federal navy lacks personnel, it is natural that the aviation force cannot be fully replenished.
The worry in Lu Lu's heart could no longer be completely suppressed by reason, although the emotion was only leaked a little, but it still manifested.
Standing behind Lu Lu, the falcon easily took all Lu Lu's every move into her eyes, although she didn't quite understand Lu Lu's emotions at the moment, but the falcon still walked behind Lu Lu quietly and stood one step behind Lu Lu according to her heart's wishes. She carefully kept a distance from Lu Lu that was intimate but not too far away.
"The preset battlefield is the most efficient only aviation. They are indispensable if they are to gain time. Tsk, several other empires did not have aviation, there are simply no other examples to refer to. Falcon's deliberately lowered voice was a little hoarse: "In fact, until the war, the role of aviation is very small. ”
"It sounds like this is a luxury that only Yan Huang people have." Lu Lu put all his attention on the current battle situation, and subconsciously became sarcastic. Ironically, Lu Lu spent two months carefully setting up a plan that was enough to shake the balance of the entire southern battlefield, but the most important key point was not the head-on collision of hundreds of thousands of starships.
It was the logistics department that decided the outcome of the battle, and it was not the confrontation with the naval guns that faced each other, but the "battle" that took place between them looked extraordinarily peaceful. The Federal Navy, which uses strict drills to ensure efficiency, and the Liberal Alliance, which uses precise calculations to squeeze costs, both sides of the battle have a professional side, but also a lack of professionalism.
The Confederate Forces and the merchants behind them made a huge mistake and were destined to fall in on this from the very day they made the logistical supply of the army their daily logistical work. It is true that logistics transportation planned from a commercial perspective can maximize the use of fleet capacity, but the logistics support of the army has never been more than just transportation.
The universe is so big, and the transportation industry has to face not only the threat of nature, but also the malice of human beings. Therefore, as a company that controls the logistics of the Freedom Alliance, it naturally has a strong security force, but these forces prepared to deal with pirates are extremely weak in the face of the attack of the regular military forces of the Yanhuang Federation.
Attacking the logistics line, this conventional strategy is naturally not the first thing Lu Lu thought of and put into practice. In fact, the interference of the Union Navy against the enemy's rear had been holding out since the beginning of the war, and even an entire fleet was wiped out as a result. Although both sides paid the price, the Yanhuang people did not dispel this intention, and even continued unabashedly.
Therefore, the Yanhuang people would attack the logistics fleet or something, which was completely unexpected by the Free Alliance Army. Although it was not possible to block the shipping lanes, the alliance also made a lot of preparations, increasing the number of escort troops for each fleet several times. Normally, the increase in the number of escorts is enough to make starships who are only good at stealth maneuvers sigh.
When super-large-scale fleet warfare broke out again on the battlefield in the south, the transport fleet began emergency transportation missions again and again. When the transports, which looked rather "fat", were ready to set off, the escort fleet was in place. As with the previous shipments, there is no difference in process or risk. The only difference is that it takes less time with several experiences to build.
The Liberal League was founded on commerce, and the military transport ships in peacetime were wasteful in every sense, and the League Council massively reduced the evil consequences of auxiliary ships, until the war was finally going badly.
The supply fleet with the Freedom Alliance's silver-gray livery is mostly conscripted cargo ships. The temporarily reinforced structure barely gave the ship's crew some psychological comfort. Cargo ships with large bodies, slow movements, weak armor, and sparse crews are destined to be one of the softest persimmons in the war, but the silver-gray fleet still embarks on this dangerous journey on time.
The huge disturbance caused by the jump of the supply fleet was quickly detected by the nearby Federation Navy, and the flow of information floating in the system suddenly became more frequent. The civilian merchant ships of the alliance will not directly enter the battlefield, and the unavoidable weakness of the alliance has been caught by Lu Lu.
Because of the design and construction of civilian ships, the stream of particles escaping from the battleship's main guns was enough to threaten the safety of the ship. And because of the lack of professionalism in a sense, the Allies tried to avoid direct supplies in battle from the beginning. Under the premise of a large-scale victory in the early stages of the war, it did not seem to matter whether there was direct supply or not, after all, the Yanhuang people were withdrawn even faster than the advance of the Allied forces.
However, in the secondary southern battlefield, the Free Confederate forces were entangled by the Union Navy for the first time. This time, the two warring sides exchanged sides, and on the battlefield around the Star Gate, the Federation Navy was entangled with the Allied forces regardless of casualties.
Sebisto? Al was one of the few staff officers in the Free Confederate Army, and the young Mimatar may not have enough command experience, but he was one of the first senior officers in the Confederate Army to discover the intentions of the Union Navy. It's just that when he noticed this, he could only find himself even sadder to find that he was powerless to change the status quo......
Maintain the combat distance and ensure the state of firefighting.
In the only two options to gain the upper hand on the battlefield, Al sadly discovers that the formation confrontation between the Grand Fleets requires him to defeat the commander of the Gillesis cluster, Feng Qingyin. As one of the few tacticians in the entire universe, with equal strength, Al has no chance of turning defeat into victory.
In the artillery confrontation of the Grand Fleet, Al was also frustrated to find that even though the Allied forces had more battleships and more main guns, the scattered and inefficient artillery command made the artillery bombardment efficiency far inferior to that of his own enemy. In Al's opinion, the Federal Navy has a very terrible gun commander, because the other party is not a passive opportunist who is good at seizing opportunities, but a planning commander who is good at actively creating opportunities.
"A way out of the woods? Of course there is, and that is to defeat the two good commanders on the opposite side at the same time. But you and my Southern Bloc alone can't do it. Al said helplessly to Antu in the communication. (To be continued.) )
