The quiet starry sky, spanning the two star fields of the third section of the main channel for nearly 30 light years, the "Smoke Lake" nebula is like an irregular freshwater lake, quietly diffusing in the light of countless cold stars in the distance. Shade no

For many years, she has been quietly existing on the main channel. People on all kinds of ships of all sizes sailing on this main channel can see this graceful posture that has not changed across the sky as soon as they look up after the ship jumps out of the 1871 galaxy or the 1841 galaxy jump point.

Heading from Chacna towards Salga, when entering the AR-1871 galaxy, all one can see is the distant and incomplete half-sideways body of this nebula. And when you pass through the jump point and reach the AR-1861 galaxy, you have already touched her edge. Among them, the 800,000-kilometer-long obstacle area that the waterway needs to cross is a tiny part of this smoke fairy's clothes like a thread.

Passing through the 1861 Galaxy Obstacle Zone, the southeast main channel will deviate from the nebula, and finally get farther and farther away, finally bidding farewell to the Smoky Lake Nebula in the AR-1831 galaxy.

If you're in the mood, turn around the 1861 galaxy and spend a few hours passing through more than a dozen obstacle zones to find a jump point into the AR-1862 galaxy not far from a black-brown planet.

Leaping into the 1862 galaxy, it is already in the nebula.

In the near distance, the nebula reflects different colors of different gases and dusts, like a dream. In the distance, the star cluster of six stars is like a fishing fire wrapped in this foggy lake, which seems to be transparent and charming.

In times of peace, it used to be a popular destination for many photography enthusiasts. In the 862 galaxy, there is a small jump point leading to the free passage of Mars.

The light of the electronic light in the communication conference room of the battleship Saint Sword. Illuminate the surroundings brightly.

The fat man paced back and forth in the room, and in front of the X-shaped conference table in front of him, Fang Xiang, Carl, and Markwich were staring at him intently. On the 360-degree communication screen around him, Chekov, who commanded the battleship Holy Light, and the captains of other battleships, their eyes also moved back and forth with the fat man's movements.

This is the pre-war preparation of the bandit fleet. After inspecting the environment on the spot, there was a big difference in the choice of ambush site.

After all. 800,000 kilometers of obstacle area. There are so many options.

Some places are hidden. Some places have natural barriers. There are also places where a funnel-shaped space is formed. Can activate the first wave of attacks. Push it to the limit. Every option. All have their own advantages. Right now. Just wait for the fat man to make the final decision. Half a circle around the room. The fat man stopped. Shaking his head, he said, "We can't be ambushed in the obstacle zone!" ”

"Why?" A lieutenant colonel of Salga's nationality asked almost subconsciously.

Captains of other lands. I was also a little stunned. Ran so far. Come here. Isn't it just trying to take advantage of the special environment of the obstacle area to ambush? How did you just get here. The fat man changed his mind?!

As everyone knows. Space Raid Warfare. Especially in the mode of outnumbered combat. Do not ambush in the obstacle zone. Almost none! Use the jump passage to suddenly appear as an attack. It must be in the enemy already under siege. It is also used when the force also occupies a certain advantage.

Moreover. In space. It was only possible to slow down the enemy's fleet as it passed through the obstacle zone. to carry out the attack. Otherwise. In the jump channel. The speed at which enemy ships jump thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers per second when they jump. Don't talk about attack. Even locking and detection are not possible! No matter how advanced the battleship is, it can't do it!

What exactly does fat mean?

None of the people present understood. Only Fang Xiang, who was caught by the fat man all the way for a simulated deduction confrontation, chuckled in his heart and vaguely speculated.

Really. And he saw the fat man looking at himself. sighed and said: "The places are good, but it's not easy to run!" ”

This greedy and cunning dead fat man!

Looking at the stunned gazes of the officers, Fang Xiang bit her lip. Don't be angry!

No one else in the venue will understand the excitement of this sentence to themselves! From the base here, dozens of deduction confrontations, this dead fat man changed his tricks and escaped! No matter what game the system gives, this fat man always tries every means to avoid a head-to-head confrontation in order to exercise his tactics of preserving strength. If there is danger, you have to run, and if there is no danger, you have to run!

Fighting with him feels like a loach that has fallen into an oil tank across from you! It's ridiculously slippery!

There were at least ten simulated battles, and he was grinded to death because there were no key strategic objectives that could contain his actions.

The most hateful thing is that sometimes, it is clear that he has already occupied an absolute advantage, and victory is already within reach, but in order to preserve his deduced strength, in order to reduce the loss of one or two percentage points, this guy is always unrelenting, and he is cheap and good-behaved. If the situation is not good, pull out your legs and run again.

In this world, there is no mentally competent commander who fights like this!

If it weren't for thinking about the deduction theory of the previous mentor, if it weren't for thinking about the bandit army and Salga, Fang Xiang couldn't wait to slap this fat loach to death! Where is this war, this is simply a teasing!

Fang Xiang gritted his teeth and glared at the fat man, listening to this idiot put on a strategizing posture and continued:

"The way we fight is very different from the way the traditional fleet fights. In the obstacle zone, although we can successfully carry out the first wave of strikes against the enemy, our speed advantage and our collision angle advantage are not easy to use in the asteroid-filled terrain. If there is an emergency, it will not be good for our retreat. ”

"Before you win, you lose first!" The fat man raised his index finger, a fat face, and was as serious as a bun: "Safety first." No matter what kind of battle we fight, we must be ready to run away at any time. If the timing is not right, retreat as soon as possible -- these eight words are the first guiding principle for the bandit army to fight in the future. Everyone must understand that being a man. Be in awe. Fear of death is actually a very noble sentiment! 、”

"Phew!" Fang Xiang couldn't help but take a sip secretly. can say that he is afraid of death so justifiably, this shameless dead fat man is the first.

"Not ambushing in the obstacle zone does not mean not using the obstacle zone!"

The fat man said leisurely: "Don't forget, everyone, you are driving now." It is a stealth warship that is unique in the world. As long as we need to, the first to attack will always be ours! We can set up ambushes wherever we need them! Combining the escape and attack factors, I think that this time, the ambush location we chose should be "

The fat man's index finger pressed on a point outside the interstellar map obstacle area: "Here!" "Your Excellency Admiral Gershkov, the Chakna fleet has appeared!"

In front of the center console in the bridge command room of the aircraft carrier Admiral Yankovich. A staff officer stood up abruptly and said excitedly.

As soon as Gershkov, who was leaning over in front of the deduction platform, raised his head, the staff officer had already rushed to him: "The reconnaissance ship has sent a report. The whereabouts of that Chacner fleet have been discovered. General, not at all to your expectation, this fleet, sure enough, stayed in the third stage, and now, they are in the A-1861 system. The discovery coordinates are "

"AR-1861 galaxy?" Gershkov quickly turned his head to another staff officer next to the stage and said, "Call up the map of this galaxy." Mark out all the obstacle areas! ”

"Yes, General!" The staff officer was moving quickly. Soon, on the deduction table, an interstellar map of the AR-1861 galaxy appeared.

Gershkov grabbed the folder in the hands of the staff officer who reported the information. Flipping through his hand, he muttered the geospatial coordinates of the appearance of Chakner's fleet. Turning his head, while determining the location of the coordinates on the map, he asked the staff officer in charge of the exercise: "Where is the current location of my first fleet A1 fleet?" ”

"Here, General!" The staff officer looked at the coordinates of the Skynet on the deduction screen, and used the end of the electronic push rod with a black bar sensor to push the A1 fleet logo on the deduction map to the exact position.

"What about the other fleets?" Gershkov asked.

"The A2 fleet is here. Here the A3 "electronic actuator in the hands of the staff officer, moved farther away."

"Cunning Chakner" Gershkov after determining the coordinates of the appearance of the Chakner fleet. I couldn't help but sigh. With years of experience and information in his hands, his gaze swept over the ten obstacle areas with the 1861 star coefficient and landed on the most central Yanhu obstacle area.

The Chackner fleet will appear here, and they, too, will only appear here!

It is clear that the commander of the Chackner fleet is not a fool and did not rush to attack because of his hot head. They must be centered on the transport fleet. After repeated scoutings. The location of the attack was determined. It's impossible to move forward and retreat as freely as anywhere else!

From the map. The Smoky Lake Barrier Zone, which is the center of the entire 1861 galaxy, and the other surrounding barrier areas and jump passages, is a natural barrier. As long as the jump passage is monitored, the Chackner fleet can ensure that there will be no reinforcements from the Seuss fleet for at least five hours. Whether it's an assault or a retreat, five hours, that's enough!

Gershkov was a little sorry, he sighed, because there was no way to completely annihilate this Chakna fleet, which was like a thorn in the flesh, and the Salga Front was almost completely dispatched. But the main channel is vast and long, and just maintaining this supply line occupies the two A-class fleets of the Sussalga Front. It is too slim to want to find a fleet with no exact purpose, no direction of travel, almost hide-and-seek in the vast space.

Therefore, Gershkov took the opportunity of the Blue Stone Star base to resupply and planned the operation. On the surface, around the transport fleet, there are only a few small patrol fleets that cannot pose a threat to a Chacner A-class fleet. In fact, on the way of the transport fleet, in every galaxy it passed, there was an A-class Seuss fleet!

The A1, A2, and A3 fleets of the 1st Fleet of the Sussalga Front and the A5 fleet of the 2nd Fleet were like bicycles rolling on a chain, taking turns to ambush the road where the transport fleet was traveling.

In order not to startle the snake. Gershkov did not choose the traditional way of tracking.

This tactic of waiting for the rabbit is a bit stupid, but it is enough to achieve the strategic goal of driving the Chackner fleet into the free passage of Mars. When the Chakner fleet discovers that an A-class Seuss fleet appears in front of them, whatever they want to do in the first place, their only option is to flee immediately.

Although it is the same A-class fleet, but. The Chakner will understand that this is not their battlefield.

And while they fled. On the periphery of the galaxy, the other Seuss fleets will form a large net of encirclement and interception. Although this net may not be able to catch the Chackner fleet, it is more than enough to drive them out of the main channel! If the commanders of Chakner's fleet had a little fever in their heads, what awaited them was more than just being driven away. It's the end of the total annihilation.

Now, the turn of the fleet that ambushed in the 1861 galaxy is the A1 fleet. The A2 fleet, on the other hand, is in the 1871 galaxy, and the A3 fleet is already hidden in the 1851 galaxy. The A5 fleet, waiting in the 1841 system.

If the Chackner fleet had come a little later, if it had happened to be the time for the A2 fleet to bypass the transport fleet, which had slowed down in particular speed, then. The total annihilation of the Chakner fleet is not an impossible thing.

The drill had stopped in front of the stage, and the staff officers who were standing by waved their hands, and Gershkov said: "Execute the plan!" The A1 Fleet of the First Group was ordered to immediately rush to the Yanhu Obstacle Area and carry out the drive plan. Order A2 to immediately move closer to the A1 fleet, mix the A3 and A5 fleets, and quickly block the jump point. ”

"Yes!" The staff officers agreed with a bang, and after saluting. Turn around and get busy. In the entire bridge command room. Suddenly it was a mess. The sound of shouting, the sound of footsteps. All sorts of voices come and go.

Standing in front of the empty deduction table, Gershkov stared at the interstellar map, slowly picked up an electronic push rod, and used the end with a long black sensor to slowly push a fleet logo on the screen to the smoky lake obstacle area of the 1681 galaxy.

The huge interstellar map of the shipping channel flashed with a wave-like blue light. The deduction program was calculating at a rapid pace as the fleet moved.

When the electronic actuator stops the fleet in the smoky lake obstacle area, the entire map becomes a multi-layered map centered on the fleet. In the AR-1861 galaxy in the first outer layer, a red shoulder points to the center. On the second level, two arrows are moving towards the 1861 galaxy jump point. In the outer layer, three arrows blocked several other associated galaxies in the third leg.

"It's a shame." Gershkov shook his head. No matter how you look at it, the location of the other fleets is not a good position that can completely leave the Chackner fleet. If the Chakner wanted to run, they could always run away. At most, you can take turns to take a bite in this drive.

"General, this is a report just sent by the A2 fleet!"

The shout of a staff officer interrupted Gershkov's thoughts.

He raised his head, and as a result of the documents in the hands of the staff officer.

"The Fyan fleet?" The pupils of Gorshkov's eyes contracted suddenly. After a moment, his tightly knit brows were loosened, and the corners of his mouth showed a playful smile: "God, when you close a door, you always open a window." ”

He closed the folder, stared at the electronic sign representing Chuckner's fleet in the center of the stage, and smiled, "Order the A2 fleet, don't reveal their whereabouts, and let them in." ”

As soon as he saw the place of the fat man's finger, almost instantly, Fang Xiang understood.

That's where the Seuss transport fleet enters the jump passage after passing through the obstacle zone!

There, they'll bump the engine up to the jump standard, set up the autopilot system and form the formation, and then enter the jump lane, so it's nearly a five-minute stop. Five minutes, although short, is enough for the bandit fleet to complete the first wave of attacks! Moreover, in terms of bandit ramming tactics, this place is undoubtedly very suitable for the place.

"Just passing through the obstacle zone, anyone will have an uncontrollable relaxation psychologically." The fat man smiled innocently: "Especially in this unobstructed and clean airspace." Think about it when we emerge from the void and crash into their formation."

"I agree." Fang Xiang said without hesitation.

"I'm for it too!" Chekov nodded.

"Yes!"

In the conference room, there was a chorus of approval. Karl had already quickly marked the ambush location on the battle plan.

"The specific ambush formation is mainly based on funnel-type back-fighting!" Fang Xiang, who was the commander of the battle scene, took over the fat man's words. In terms of commanding on the spot, she is obviously much more experienced.

She pointed to several spatial coordinates on the map and said, "Two battleships, on the left and right, are lying in ambush above the exit of the obstacle area in the same direction as the enemy ships. Cruiser, ambushed on the flanks. At the same time attack the enemy's escort fleet. The remaining armed merchant ships are deployed directly in front of them, and their mission is to block the jump of the enemy's transports."

"If there are no other problems" After explaining the combat deployment, Fang Xiang looked around: "Everyone hurry up and prepare." ”

Ten minutes later, the fleet was already in place, the portholes, energy shields and thrusters of the battleships were completely closed, and one after another the battleships activated the optical polarimeters and sank into the void.

"How did you come up with the idea of coming out of the obstacle course?" Fang Xiang asked the fat man in a low voice.

"As a romantic wet man" the fat man's eyes were misty: "I don't want to, this beautiful nebula is desecrated by the wreckage of the battleship." ”

"Phew!"

Fang Xiang turned her head angrily, and saw Cecilia running over with a serious expression.

"The general scouts the ship, and discovered the movements of the Seuss A-class fleet! Now, it's approaching us at high speed. "Quick. Everyone's commuter pass support! , more chapters, support authors, support genuine reading!
