Chapter 257: Suppression (I)

'Conqueror' Field. : Fastest update text chapters:

In the vast dark and deep starry sky, an invisible ripple like water bō rippled the originally still space.

Immediately, dark green frigates armed to the teeth suddenly appeared in the empty starry sky like schools of fish, and quickly formed a perfect defensive formation to meet the battleship formations and aircraft carrier formations that arrived later.

"The other party has appeared, and the coordinates are in Area C-36 Division! ~”

As soon as the Third Front fleet broke away from the shackles of the four-dimensional space and appeared on the channel of the 'Conqueror' star field, the 'Assembly Number', as the flagship, received an urgent communication from the patrol fleet.

As an interceptor, attacking the enemy fleet that has not yet completed the space transition in a similar way can be said to be the most concise and effective combat strategy, but as an exit for the four-dimensional space jump, the coordinates of the matter thrown by the white hole are not as accurate as the black hole as the entrance.

Under normal circumstances, the volume of the white hole is twice as large as that of its associated black hole, and the thrown coordinates have a certain random xìng, and the white hole is also a spherical shape under the concept of three-dimensional, so it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to capture the thrown coordinates of the enemy ship in such a vast star field. Therefore, the so-called 'half-crossing' battle plan is a matter of luck most of the time, and this time, Robin's luck is not good, but it is not too bad either.

"Sector C-36 is 760,000 kilometers away from us, and if we set off now, we can make contact with the enemy fleet in fifteen minutes! ~"Navigator Borg immediately reads out the relevant data.

"Order the battleship formations to be mixed with the frigate formations and move at full speed with offensive arrows. In addition, the aircraft carrier formation was ordered to release the fighters and go into battle in three echelons! ”

Robin made a decision in an instant, and Xia Zuo, as the adjutant, issued battle orders to the fleets as quickly as possible before Staff Officer Anse El's objection could be raised.

Robin...... Isn't it too risky to dispatch our entire fighter squadron for a dense attack without the support of an aircraft carrier formation? ”

As a staff officer, Ansel did not stop Xia Zuo from issuing Robin's orders, but from his side, he felt that he still needed to warn Robin of the risks involved in this decision.

"Fifteen minutes is too short for a fleet of three hundred large warships of all kinds, and they can't afford to put their defenses in fifteen minutes. This is our chance, and as long as we attack resolutely enough, we will definitely be able to fight it. As for the risk you are talking about......" Robin shrugged his shoulders: "The risk is naturally there, if the other party's whole army is united, my whole army will only be humiliated." But now, I bet that the officers and soldiers of the other side will not be able to unite as one, and I bet that they will not have the determination to gamble their lives in such a sudden encounter. So we had the upper hand, and that was enough for me to press it all. ”

"You're like a gambler......"

"War is a gamble, and no matter how clever a master tactician is, he can't be foolproof on a kaleidoscopic battlefield, all they do is tilt the probability of victory and defeat a little more in their own way." Speaking of which, Robin walked up to Cecilia: "Tell Brunes? Timos, let him take command of the aircraft carrier formations that can't keep up with the speed of the fleet, and we will participate in the attack! ~”

"What! ~”

If Robin's rash decision to attack the whole army was still within Ansel's comprehension, then now, it was a little unacceptable for him to let the incomparably small 'Rally Number', which was the flagship, participate in the general attack.

To make the 'Assembly', which is only the size of a frigate and can lag behind, be the flagship of such a large fleet is a ridiculous joke in the eyes of most people. However, considering that this fleet of more than 500 warships of all kinds has enough strength to protect any warship, even a transport, it is somewhat acceptable to use the 'Assembly' as the flagship. But now, if the 'Assembly', which is the flagship but only has the specifications of a frigate, is allowed to participate in the attack, then the situation is completely different.

After all, the offensive formation and the defensive formation are two completely different formations, in the regular space offensive and defensive warfare, no one will put the flagship as the command center of the fleet in the most dangerous position, even if the whole army attacks, there will be a number of frigates left behind around the flagship and a large number of aircraft carrier escorts as meat shields, not to mention that under normal circumstances, the aircraft carrier is generally used as the flagship, after all, the aircraft carrier's own powerful anti-aircraft firepower system is a defensive force that cannot be ignored, even if it is attacked, It was also necessary to have a siege of three or four battleships to make it possible to capture an aircraft carrier.

But now, as the flagship, the 'Assembly' is only a thin frigate. Although the combat frigate is an exclusive defensive warship, its defensive strength depends more on numbers and formations. In other words, in a large-scale space battle, the defensive firepower of a frigate is simply not enough to withstand a massive salvo, and even a single hit by the main guns of an enemy battleship is enough to make the frigate a floating dust in the universe.

Moreover, when the combat fleet is deployed in an arrow formation, there will be no protection for the flagships pressed at the rear of the fleet. On the battlefield where bullets are raining, this is simply a gamble with your own life.

"Robin, that's too risky. You're the prince of the empire, and it's not worth it that you have to take such a big risk in such a battle! ~"Fearing for Robin's safety, Anse El grabbed Robin and tried to stop his crazy adventure.

"Adventure, no...... I don't think it's an adventure. I believe that by the time the 'rallying call' arrived on the battlefield, the real battle would have been over. Robin patted Anse El on the shoulder comfortingly: "Believe me, it's not the first time I've used a wolf pack tactic like this to run long distances in a fighter formation, and I know very well the power it has." So, you don't have to worry about the situation of the 'Rally' at all, and even if there is a possibility of a stray bullet threat, I still have Cecilia. She's the best captain and will never be hit by a stray bullet, I trust her! ~”

"Since you are so confident in the wolf pack tactics, there is no need to take risks yourself, isn't it safer for us to go with the aircraft carrier formation?" Anse Air wasn't completely convinced by Robin, and he still felt it was too risky to involve the 'Assemble' in the attack.

"The danger of going to the front is far less than staying behind." Robin glanced at the whale-like aircraft carriers with deep meaning: "This time, it is the battleship formation in the Praetorian Guard that is the arrow of attack, if they know that I am in their rear, they will definitely fight desperately." Then, in this victory, our wolves will also rush in through the open gap, bite the other party to blood, and completely destroy the opponent's fighting spirit. But if I had stayed in the rear, it would have been a different story. If the Janissaries, who were the arrows of attack, were to be blocked, the battle would be stalemate. And when the time comes, the only thing that will be next to the 'assembly number' in the rear will be the aircraft carrier formation. You should know that 60% of the fleet is on aircraft carriers, and the aristocracy's control of the army is obviously more biased towards the army. Do you say that in this situation, is it dangerous to stay in front or dangerous to stay behind? ”

"......" Robin's words left Anse Air speechless.

Indeed, at a time when both sides are unstable and it is difficult to argue with the enemy or the enemy, it is indeed difficult to determine whether it is a danger at the front or a danger at the rear. As Robin said, if this raid is unfavorable, then ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
