The golden-painted fleet that emerged from the shadows of Ganymede, with the [Zeus]-class mothership as the core, formed a neat battle formation, and rushed towards the sixteenth detachment commanded by Caronado with great momentum.

In front of this fleet, there are four fighter attack groups composed of nearly 400 [Hurricane] space fighters that have been released one step ahead of the opponent, and these space fighters with the same gold paint have formed an attack formation, and are killing the enemy's warship cluster from the left, right, up and down four directions at maximum combat speed.

In modern space warfare, the traditional doctrine of giant ships and cannons has been completely abandoned, because this mode of warfare has been proven to be a flashy tactic in the first space war.

In fact, it was precisely because of the insistence on the Giant Ship Cannon Doctrine that the Earth Federation would be defeated in successive battles in the early days of the First Star War.

At that time, the main battleships of the Earth Federation were battleships equipped with heavy armor and powerful firepower, and the representative work was the flagship of the Fourth Fleet of the Federation, the [Titan]-class super giant battleship.

Such a battleship is undoubtedly very powerful, it has the sharpest spear, the strongest shield, except for the poor mobility, too many operators, it is a perfect war machine, strong firepower, enough to sweep all the enemies in front of it, thick armor, but also enough to make it invincible on the battlefield.

At least in the opinion of its designers, it is.

However, its designers ignored a problem, that is, the rapid development of weapon technology, as the weapons carried on the space fighter become more and more powerful, this product of the giant ship cannon doctrine has become the most cost-effective failed work!

However, the Earth Federation apparently did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and it was not until the Colonial Alliance raised the flag in the New China System and defeated the Federation's counterinsurgency fleet with a fleet equipped with a large number of space carriers in a row that they finally realized what a huge mistake they had made all along.

A giant battleship that has been built with countless financial and material resources and requires thousands of people to operate effectively is powerless in the face of a close attack by dozens of space fighters piloted by only a few dozen pilots in a mere formation!

The battleship was proud of its formidable firepower in front of these dexterous fighters. It's like an anti-aircraft gun fighting a mosquito, but the ship-fighting weapons on the fighter can cause amazing damage to the battleship!

This was a very painful lesson for the Earth Federation at that time - at that time. Even if the Earth Federation wins a battle, their losses are far heavier than those of the Colonial Alliance - compared to battleships, the cost of space fighters is not too cheap, not to mention the huge difference in personnel invested by both sides, and the Earth Federation lost a battle in the space war. Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people were killed or wounded, and the Colonial Union was only a few thousand at most!

The cost of war between the two sides is not on the same level at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the Earth Federation learned from the hard time and decisively abandoned the giant ship cannon doctrine and turned to vigorously develop space aircraft carrier and space fighter technology, the Earth Federation would definitely go bankrupt because of the war.

As a result, after experiencing the baptism of the first cosmic war, mankind has begun to undergo earth-shaking changes in the tactics of cosmic warfare around the application of cosmic fighters.

Groups of battleships are bombarding each other head-on, pinning each other down. The fighter attack group breaks through from the flank, which is the basic tactic of modern space warfare, and if the two sides are evenly matched or the strength is not far apart, this tactic usually evolves into a battle mode in which the two sides bombard each other and the fighter fights each other, and the fighter fights against the fighter.

In this battle mode, the key to victory lies in whether your fighter attack group can be one step ahead of the opponent, defeat the enemy's group, and then use the powerful mobility of the fighter to encircle and kill the enemy's warship group.

This is also why modern space warfare attaches so much importance to space carriers. More aircraft carriers means more fighters, the more they can gain an advantage in the attack of fighter groups, and then use the powerful mobility and attack power of fighters. Smash through enemy warship clusters in one fell swoop!

At the same time, how to release your fighter plane before the opponent, take the initiative in the confrontation of the fighter, let the opponent follow your own rhythm, and even let your fighter attack the opponent's warship cluster before the opponent's fighter is dispatched. It has also become a subject of hard research for military strategists.

And at this moment, in this space of Europa, the sudden appearance of the golden livery fleet is working in this direction.

This fleet has taken advantage of the surprise attack, and has already taken advantage of the opponent's position, releasing all its fighters at a very advantageous distance to its own side, and taking the lead in attacking.

However, as Caronado noted, the fleet's attack was not well timed, revealing itself too early, thus giving the Sixteenth Fleet plenty of time to react.

What's more, Caronado is very clever to take the initiative to retreat, this seemingly cowardly move is actually a wise move to use space in exchange for time.

Therefore, although it was one step behind the opponent, the 16th Squadron still released nearly 300 space fighters before the opponent's fighter attack group arrived, and immediately intercepted the enemy planes that were approaching the battleship group.

At the same time, more warplanes were being launched from the space carrier called the Frost Giant, and they were put into battle - the total number of warplanes of the 16th Detachment exceeded 500!

The situation clearly came as a surprise to the commander of the Golden Fleet.

"Damn, there is still this trick! The enemy commander is so cunning! ”

Inside the bridge of the [Zeus]-class space carrier of the Golden Fleet, a clear female voice was scolding.

The owner of the voice is a young woman with long black hair tied into a spiritual ponytail, she is wearing blond sports shorts and a sports vest, and a golden trench coat is casually put on the outside, because it is not zipped, and under the open trench coat, her slender and strong legs and strong abdominal muscles are exposed.

At this time, this sporty beauty was pointing at the sixteenth squadron on the screen in the bridge without any image, jumping to her feet in anger and scolding: "Despicable! Shameless! Dirty! In the face of the enemy's attack, it doesn't matter if you don't move forward bravely, you even retreat! With this insidious trick, Caronado you don't count as a man! ”

However, it is a bit strange that the bridge personnel in some kind of golden military uniform on the bridge are not disturbed by the actions of this athletic beauty, and they are still meticulously doing what they are doing, and their expressions are extremely calm.

Of course, not everyone can be indifferent to the behavior of athletic beauties.

"Ahem......"

Behind the athletic beauty, a young male officer who was also wearing a golden military uniform with a slender figure and a delicate face coughed, and then reminded softly: "Miss, please pay attention to the image!" ”

The athletic beauty was even more angry when she heard this: "Bastard, if you have time to care about the image of the old lady, you might as well think of a way for me quickly!" Look at the bullshit tactics you've developed, the enemy fighters are all unleashed! ”

The delicate-faced male officer was depressed: "If it weren't for the eldest lady, you gave the order to attack too early, and you wouldn't have become like this......"

Before the words could be spoken, the athletic beauty had already punched the male officer in the stomach, knocking the poor fellow to the bent over.

"Look at the money! You're getting bolder! The tactics formulated by yourself are not good, and the responsibility is put on the old lady! ”

Saying that, the athletic beauty flew up again and kicked the male officer to the ground: "Besides, even if the old lady did something wrong, why didn't you stop it at that time?" Hindsight people, the most hateful! ”
