Ordered the battleship [Eamon] to follow the battle plan of battle group No. 2 and the battle position of Xun D7. / Order the battleship [Trulli] to sail along the T2 passage to the C5 battle position, threaten the tail of the enemy fighter attack group, and cooperate with the [Forenka] and the [Red-tailed Sparrow] for joint defense! Tell them to squeeze while hitting.

Take out everything you can, as long as you hold on for ten minutes, the victory will be ours! ”

"Order the [Feiling] mothership to speed up and move closer to me, all carrier-based fighters will be completely released, and the airspace along the L7 channel will be interspersed with N211, and be sure to drag the Feiyang fighter group!"

Humphrey's fingers, darting across the tactical computer: leaping. Commands, blurted out without thinking. The entire mothership battle group, under his command, quickly changed formations.

"Order the fighter squadron left behind by the mothership to enter the ejection channel, get ready, and after thirty seconds, the [Scorpio] will provide tactical cover, and they will have fifteen seconds to complete the release!"

"Twenty Seconds Countdown Seconds Countdown to Nine Seconds"

Above the aircraft carrier Flying Feather, the beautiful streamlined hull of the [Scorpion] ship slowly moved sideways in the void. Countless energy turrets, intertwined into a dense network of firepower, drove away the hornet-like bandit fighters.

"Eight, seven, six" Hanfu looked at the battleships on the console screen with a relaxed expression, staggering and changing according to his intentions.

Two bandit fighters broke through the defenses and flashed overboard. Moments later, the electronic sound from the center console sounded, and the rear of the ship and port side on the mothership schematic light up red, which was a hit alarm. In the shock, Humphrey was unconscious, and counted down faintly: "Five-four-three"

Another bandit fighter plane rushed through the defensive circle, and after the fiery red light and violent vibration, the alarm on the center console sounded rapidly. And the cruiser [Scorpio] above the mothership has finally entered the predetermined position.

"21. Fire control data connection. The guns of the two ships jointly defended. Release the interceptor guide! Humphrey patted the table of command tables: "Release the fighter!" ”

With his command. The Flying Feather rotated the turret muzzle from side to side. The cruiser turret [Scorpion] above it quickly coordinated and synchronized. Under the fire control systematically. will be surrounded by airspace. The blockade is watertight. One interceptor missile after another also jumped into space from the ship's firing port.

Meanwhile. There are only ~ squadrons left in the aircraft carrier, and forty [Thunderbolt] space fighters have been ejected from four channels one after another.

These fighters relied on blocking over the mothership to form a closed passage between the ground cruiser and the mothership. Urgent acceleration. When they appear outside the net of fire. The speed has been increased to a speed of seven levels that is enough to engage in a dogfight with the bandit fighters.

"Your Excellency. The Scorpio couldn't stand it. They're shifting to the side! The Battle Coordinator shouted. Window. The cruiser was massively steel. It's deflecting. When hit, the fireballs of light rose and fell.

"That's it. Command the Scorpio. Out of cover position. Keep your distance! Humphrey took a sip of his coffee. Looking at the command platform, the screen has completed the release of forty [thunderbolts] to accelerate out of the closed passage. A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Report, battleship [Eamon] has entered the designated combat position!"

"Report, the [Trulli] enters the designated position, the [Forenka] completes the turn and enters the designated position, and the [Red-tailed Sparrow] enters the designated position"

"The 11 squadron of fighters engaged enemy aircraft."

"The enemy plane was driven away!"

One report after another.

Humphrey looked at the podium screen quietly. On the virtual screen, the last destroyer, while firing, slowly but firmly deflects the ship, into the designated combat position.

Two seconds later, amid the admiring gazes of all the officers and men of the mothership looking at Humphrey and the uncontrollable whispered cheers, the last gap, the steel hull of the destroyer obscured, and the entire aircraft carrier battle group seemed to close the last iron gate, blocking the flying fighters and the dazzling energy cannon light.

The "Flying Feather" was completely retracted into the group of frigates.

The surrounding battleships, like satellites, guard the mothership in the center. These warships not only covered the angle of attack of the mothership with their bodies, but also occupied important combat positions around the mothership, and their firepower was also swung to the extreme under the coordination of the fleet Skynet. Coupled with the forty [Thunderbolts] cruising in the inner circle, even if it can't completely guarantee that the mothership will not be attacked, it is enough to support other warships to rush back!

"An A-level defense formula, it's simple, isn't it?"

Humphrey coldly looked at the bandit fighters that were blocked by dense ~ fire and interceptor missiles in the outer circle, and said to himself: "I really thought that if I lost the energy shield and the Flying Feather, I could be slaughtered." Without the Feather, can I just sit back and die?! Now, you only have five minutes, and I'll see how you win me! ”

"Let Cohen and Breed, get their adjudication mechs ready. Activate the Core Defense Pod. After a while," he stood up and glanced coldly at the bandit fighters in the void who were still frantically attacking the aircraft carrier group: "Let's see the disappointed expressions of these flies!" ”

***************************************************************************************

The USS Athena is a space carrier of ten battleships

, silently rushing forward.

The asteroid belt, shrouded in the light of the energy cannon, is getting closer and closer. Douglas's brows furrowed more and more.

On the telescope screen, the bandit fighters were still drilling in and out of the dense firepower network of Humphrey's fleet like a hornet. However, the defense system of Humphrey's fleet is also taking shape.

When a plum-like formation appeared in front of Douglas's eyes, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The Humphrey carrier group completed this defensive formation, which is not difficult to identify. It can be said that ~ officers who have received training in the command of the system team can understand it. As a top student of the military academy, Douglas is of course no exception -- with the mothership as the center, a small number of fighters as stamens, and five to eight battleships as the outer circle of petals, and joint defense is carried out at a certain speed and distance. This is the Sikman Plum Blossom Defensive Formation. A A-level command pattern of space combat command.

In the fleet command of the 10,000 command patterns, the Sigman plum blossom defensive array is not conspicuous. Its Minsikman was a Vibo commander during the War of the Dissolution of the Earth Federation. At that time, in a major battle, his fleet was surrounded by a cluster of Earth Federation military and ground fighters. In order to buy time for the anti-outflanking Vibo fleet. Sigman was forced to use the only remaining mothership and six cruisers to defend in place.

Seven warships and less than 200 air fighters, under the command of Sigmandi, supported the overwhelming Earth Federation fighter group for a full hour.

Although Seaman's fleet was eventually wiped out by the Federation Army, Taming's tactic of organically combining a small number of warships at a specific operating speed, at a specific cover angle and distance, and distributing firepower for joint defense over a large area has been handed down.

Whether it is a space battle or a ground battle, the history of warfare for thousands of years has long shown all kinds of combat situations, and the way to deal with the ground has also formed a fixed pattern in modern military command science.

These formulas are not secrets. Just like the set form of Go, as long as you have the heart to learn, you can master it.

However, mastery is one thing, and flexible use in combat is another.

This is the difference between ordinary chess players and national players.

Humphrey is worthy of a generation of famous players. He made the most targeted choices in the shortest possible time. Sigman plum defended under his command, dripping. The formation of this defensive array marks the failure of the bandits' sneak attack.

Truth be told, for all these years, Douglas never imagined that anyone would engage in air combat in such a desperate way. I didn't expect that the Salga [Gladiator] space fighter, which is at best mediocre in performance, would have such a strong combat power.

These fighters shuttle between enemy groups, like petrels in a storm.

On several occasions, he had seen bandit planes hit by Humphrey's fleet defensive guns or interceptor missiles. However, the fighter plane, which was supposed to turn into a flaming red meteor, ended up surprisingly only a flash of blue light from the energy shield, or a slight change of color. So far, among the three hundred [gladiators], no more than one-tenth have been destroyed.

However, all this did not lead to victory. Because, the number of bandit fighters is too small.

Three hundred fighters is only 40 percent of the standard aircraft carrying capacity of Feiyang's medium-sized aircraft carrier, and 20 percent of the aircraft carrying capacity of a heavy aircraft carrier!

If it weren't for the favorable terrain occupied during the surprise attack, if it weren't for the fact that the fighters and the aircraft carrier were so close that they could see each other's faces at that time, let alone attack the aircraft carrier, it would have been wishful thinking to even break through the fire interception of the aircraft carrier frigate.

If the opponent makes a mistake, perhaps, they still have a chance to kill the blow.

It's a pity that their opponent is Humphrey!

Looking at the virtual screen, the attack is getting more and more difficult, and the circle of dodging and maneuvering is getting bigger and bigger, Douglas's heart is slowly sinking.

There was also silence in the battleship.

Everyone, you can see that something is wrong!

The Fyan fleet will need a little more time before it can return to the asteroid belt. And the other warships of the Flying Feather fleet are already approaching their flagship. Five minutes, no, four minutes at most, the flying feather carrier-based fighter group, which has abandoned the pursuit of the 191st fleet, will be the first to join the siege of three hundred [gladiators]. Eight minutes later, the Flying Feather Fleet group, which was immediately behind, would also join the battle.

At that time, it will be the end of the bandit warplanes. It is also the end of the Nineteenth Fleet!

"General Douglas"

In his ears, there was a hesitant voice from Chief of Staff Pang Mingjian.

Douglas turned his head.

Pang Mingjian swallowed with some difficulty. In the moment when Humphrey's flagship defensive circle was formed and he received a communication message from the fleet that had broken away from the encirclement, a thought flashed through his mind.

He was the Chief of Staff of the Fleet Staff, and his duty was to provide information and advice to the Supreme Commander.

If it had been before, this thought, he would not hesitate to say it. And now his heart is like tormenting in a hot oil pot. That despicable thought made him red-faced.

In the end, he swallowed the words he thought about and only reported: "The 191 fleet has come with information and asked for instructions on the next step." ”

The A11 fleet is out of trouble! Douglas looked at Pang Mingjian quietly. The two looked at each other, and they both saw a lot of things from each other's eyes.

As a partner, there are some words that you don't have to say at all. For so many years, Fiji, who was so powerful that he despised everything and put the interests of the country first

, when encountering a similar situation, what kind of decision will be made, again: I know better.

Douglas smiled and said, "Let them attack." Now is not the time for them to rest. ”

"Yes!" Pang Mingjian replied loudly.

The voices of the two people were a little redundant. However, the officers and soldiers beside him sounded so inspiring!

This is the grandest war ever fought by mankind. ~ What is needed to win this war is courage, unity and wisdom, not selfishness and betrayal! Now it's time for a change in Feiyang!

"We have a little time"

Douglas's gaze fell on the Binarte mothership, which had lost its energy shield.

At a distance from the mothership, countless bandit fighters were trying again and again to break through the defenses of the frigate group. That's its own allies. They are so fearless, and their battles are so exciting.

Looking at these fighters, Douglas's heart came and went with only one thought: "No matter whether you win or lose, no matter whether you live or die, I will never allow the wings of dreams to be tarnished by filth and meanness!" ”

"Report, 1st Fighter Group: Intercepted by the enemy's [Feiling] fleet fighter group, the distance between the two sides is 12,000 kilometers. Expect contact in thirty seconds! Under the command stand, the fleet liaison officer reported loudly.

Take a gamble, Humphrey! My mission, force out all your hole cards! This time, let's switch the offensive and defensive positions. It's time for me to attack! Even if this attack, I only have time to put on a posture!

Douglas picked up the communicator.

"The fighters were divided into two attack clusters. The 2nd, 6th, 8th, and 10th fighter groups were ordered to form a second group to intercept the enemy's fighter group. The first cluster accelerated to the right and rushed over, to fight! Tell them that their mission is to cooperate with the bandit fighter group to attack the aircraft carrier, and no matter how much sacrifice they make, they must be put into battle within six minutes! ”

"Understood!"

The order, via the fleet Skynet, was transmitted to the computer of each fighter.

Almost at the same time as the order arrived, the group of Feiyan fighters, which were sailing at high speed in a triangular attack formation, began to split the formation. The five groups of 600 fighters on the left flank of the formation, like satellites split from a rocket, turned left for 900 minutes and met the group of Binarte fighters that were rushing at a rapid pace. The Fayan fighters in the center and on the right flank quickly changed their positions, reformed a triangular attack group, and continued to pounce on the central battlefield.

High-speed space battles have always been measured in seconds.

A few seconds later, the second group of Feiyang fighters, which was in charge of covering, had already strangled with the oncoming Binalt fighter group. Countless energy cannon lights streaked across the universe, and the strict formation turned into a messy two-plane formation, with the two sides fighting each other, strangling, and trying their best to chase and bite each other.

"The first cluster, hit me, rush over!"

Seeing that the second fighter group had stopped the enemy, Colonel Avery, the pilot of the first fighter group, let out a loud shout. 1,200 fighters suddenly increased their speed to the limit.

The tide of interceptor artillery light swept past the group of fighters, and the dozens of fighters on the outside of the formation turned into fireballs.

However, this did not slow down the breakthrough of the first cluster in the slightest. Every pilot gritted his teeth and pushed the control stick down to the apex.

Two seconds later, already under the cover of the second group, they shook off the cluster of enemy aircraft that were trying to intercept and rushed into the rocky asteroid belt! Not far in front of them, there were more than ten deadly battleships of the 191st Fleet that turned around and clung to the enemy ships!

At this point, the battle situation of the three parties has formed a circular battle area composed of five levels.

At the center of the theater of operations is naturally the ground battle group composed of Humphrey's flagship aircraft carrier [Feiyu]. The bandit fighters who besieged it occupied the first combat area outside the center.

The second layer is the fleet that is desperately trying to bypass the asteroid and return to the ground to defend the feather.

The third layer is the remaining dozen warships of the 191st Fleet, which was originally surrounded by the Binalt fleet, but now brazenly turned back to attack, and the first fighter group that had just broken through the interception site.

On the fourth floor, there is the second group of fighters of the Feiling fleet that has been strangled together with it.

On the fifth floor, there is the Nineteenth Group Fleet led by Douglas, and the [Feiling] aircraft carrier battle group on the other side, which is desperately approaching Humphrey's flagship.

The entire theater of operations, centered on Humphrey's flagship, shrank sharply. Everyone knows that this is a rapidly changing battle. In just ten minutes, it is enough to make the winner and loser swing back and forth several times!

Time passed minute by minute. It was less than two minutes before the group of fighters of the Flying Feather Fleet arrived at the central theater of operations at high speed. And the first cluster of Feiyang fighters has also crossed the fleet and bitten the tail of the feather fleet formation that is tens of thousands of kilometers long in front and behind!

The atmosphere, as the distance shortened, suddenly became tense.

Everyone~, Humphrey and Douglas, have already shown their cards against each other.

If Humphrey's flagship can support the reinforcement of his ship group, then he will win this battle. He could have calmly gathered his formation and then organized an attack on the Fyan fleet. If he held out for less than three minutes, he was strangled by the bandits. Then, having lost its commander, and having made a hasty return to the sea, and having drawn the formation into a messy and slender Binart, it is likely that it will not be able to form an effective organization. In that case, they would face a devastating blow from the Nineteenth Fleet behind them.

You know, in that asteroid belt, the same command is lost, and the array that remains intact is lost

No matter how obvious the advantage is, it is impossible to win the trailing and orderly formation

However, if the Feiyang fleet turned around and charged at high speed at the first time, did it have a chance to beat the water dogs?!

All the officers and men of Feiyang in the interior, including Douglas, did not dare to place their hopes on this. The current situation seems to be more and more favorable for Humphrey's fleet!

Perhaps it was because the impression of the current bandit fighter plane was too deep when it appeared, and after sending a new round of instructions, Chief of Staff Pang Mingjian glanced at the virtual screen of the farsighted device again.

This glance, his eyeballs, never took away.

For a moment, the fluid in his whole body rushed to his brain, and a sense of happiness was far stronger than winning the jackpot of hundreds of millions of Fei Yuan, at this moment, he felt breathless!

On the screen, countless fighters were still circling, and countless energy cannon lights and missiles were still staggering.

However, this brilliant light did not conceal a strange scene -- less than 200 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier group, dozens of warships and hideous ships pierced through the void and suddenly appeared!

These tattered battleships floated out of the void, just like the bandit fighters.

What's more, the position of each of their warships constitutes a suffocating formation.

Lu Zecheng, long formation!

In the direction of the long formation, the upright and upright, under the pressure of the fighters, slowly moved to the [Feiyu] aircraft carrier there!!

Pang Mingjian opened his mouth wide, and before he could speak, he saw dozens of white lights flashing, and then, a cheer rang out in his ears.

The entire fleet has ~ completely boiled!

**************************************************************************************

"It's not a tactic, it's the art of love!" The fat man said.

"The Art of Love?" Carl shook his big head and looked confused: "Fatty, I admit that this battle plan you made is very sexy, but what does this thing have to do with the art of love?" ”

"Life is like **" The fat man half-squinted his eyes, licked his tongue on his lips, and looked **: "War is too!" I'm going to test you, ** in a few steps? ”

On the swing platform in the command room of the aircraft carrier [Oracle], the fat man and Karl stood leisurely by the railing at the top of the arc, drawing pictures and foaming at the mouth.

In front of them, on the virtual screen of the huge main console, dozens of white lights completely engulfed the entire [Flying Feather] mothership and several battleships beside them. In the hall of the control room under the railing, the bandit soldiers were busy running back and forth. On the command seat beside him, as soon as he entered the combat state, Fang Xiang, whose eyes were particularly charming, sneered and controlled the tactical computer and continued to command the battle. deaf to the conversation between the two.

Margaret on the side, while looking intently at the center console, waiting for the report of the results, was eager to find a machine gun and sweep to death the idiots who were still idle to talk about some nonsense at these two critical moments!

"How many steps?" Karl's face turned red, and he glanced at Cecilia, who was sitting on the left side of Fang Xiang and was nervously handing over the battle order, and said coyly: "I'm not very familiar with this. ”

"I'm ashamed of you!" The fat man looked disdainful: "I won't teach you the complicated ones, to put it simply, you have to **, you have to have foreplay, you have to hook up the **, and then start the general attack!" ”

"Oooh!" Karl nodded.

"Look, what's the difference between this and this battle plan of mine?" The fat man said proudly: "Use three hundred fighters first, take off her clothes." Then, step by step, he forced her to the corner of the bed, put her hands up and down, tossed and exhausted, and finally came to that again. ”

"It's like" Carl touched his chin and rolled his eyes, thinking for a long time: "That's really the case"

"Shut up!" Fang Xiang, who was overwhelmed, raised her eyebrows and scolded.

The two who were happily discussing were startled, and suddenly gave in and died down.

"The results of the scan are complete, it is confirmed, the first target has lost its combat effectiveness and most of its operational power! The second, third, and fifth targets were destroyed, the fourth was incapacitated, and the sixth was slightly wounded and was turning to escape. ”

"Not destroyed?!"

Fatty, Fang Xiang, Carl and Margaret were startled at the same time.

In the absence of an energy shield, suffering a joint attack by seven battleships and eleven cruisers of the bandit army with Lu Ze's long formation, it turned out to be only seriously injured that Binarte aircraft carrier, what did it do?!

"What now?!" Fang Xiang's watery gaze fell on the fat man's face.

The fat man looked at the aircraft carrier Feiyu, which was already riddled with holes and was still moving slowly on the virtual screen, and suddenly, his heart was beating in shock.

This is absolutely not normal.

Even if the firepower of the bandit fleet is not completely concentrated on the aircraft carrier Feiyu, such a situation will not occur. You must know that a space carrier that has lost its energy shield, let alone being directly hit by nearly twenty energy main guns, even if it is just a few battleships attacking alone, it is enough to completely destroy it!

Look up at the radar. The group of fighters that Binarte has defended has come infinitely closer to the central theater of operations.

“***！ Keep attacking! The fat man jumped to his feet, angry: "All assault, hit me!" Prepare the mecha, Lao Tzu is going to board the ship! ”
