Chapter 37: Still So?
If you measure it by the original plot, when the entire Exelion fleet was folded and the initial WARP was successful, and the subspace was successfully infiltrated, the cosmic monster obviously took at least half the time longer than the "normal situation" before launching the first attack on the human side.
Moreover, this attack did not receive any real results at all, except for triggering the alarm of the attack on the Exelion fleet.
For what? The reason is quite simple, the reason why the previous one-way (secondary) FOLD device was to add the FOLD crystal, which is also quite precious to the reincarnation team, is to specifically record all the hyperspace data of all warships installed with related devices, and carry out spatial folding simulation through those links that have been theoretically abandoned.
This deception itself is also a one-off, and all the cosmic monsters that participated in the experiment have long been completely wiped out. And this subspace experiment is still led by the distant DG itself, and it is true that it has only recently made a phased breakthrough, if it were not for Jung and DG racing against time to study accordingly, maybe they would not have had time to catch up with this battle.
But it is precisely because the reincarnation team has endured so far, and they can't wait to keep Roger in the dark, that they have achieved a near-complete victory - the first batch of light bullet attacks of the cosmic monster has completely failed, and the physical collision carried out by a few troop levels has undoubtedly lost its target.
Unfortunately, due to the inevitable existence of the latter in the cosmic monster warfare, the enemy quickly found the true location of the fleet. Needless to say, the second wave of attacks followed.
This time, although it was a complete hit, the losses of the Exelion fleet were still pitifully small.
The reason is still the "disposable" FOLD device.
ANYONE WHO KNOWS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MF PLANE KNOWS THAT THE FOLD CRYSTAL IN AN ADULT VAJRA MAY BE THE SIZE OF A FINGER AT MOST - NO ONE WILL ASK IF IT IS A HUMAN FINGER OR A ZENITH FINGER AT THIS TIME, RIGHT? - BUT A FOLD CRYSTAL OF THIS SIZE IS ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE VAJRA'S PARTICLE CANNON AND SHIELD, AND AS FOR THE SINGLE FOLD, THERE IS NO NEED TO MENTION ......
Therefore, in the true face of the "disposable FOLD device" installed on each warship of the Exelion fleet, it is obvious that there is also an offset shield that is enough to support the Marco Screw Cannon once. Of course, the effect is also a one-time thing, but in terms of the effectiveness of these two rounds of attacks being able to survive safely, it basically declares the complete bankruptcy of the cosmic monster sneak attack.
Of course, this also represents the official staging of the decisive battle of LEAF-64.
Although the actual coordinates of this great battle are basically in the vicinity of the solar system.
There's no way, although on the side of the reincarnation team, it is actually adhering to the original purpose of "not exposing the coordinates of the earth as much as possible", but in the original book, the entire fleet was blasted out of subspace in a state of uncontrol, and now it is carried by the FOLD device after two rounds of attack, and it has reached the vicinity of the target according to the original driving route.
If it had been possible, Admiral Tashiro had intended to continue his stubborn resistance in subspace. Unfortunately, luck cannot always be on the side of humans, and the help or change of the mission plane by the reincarnators is limited after all.
Almost at the same time that Admiral Tashiro ordered the entire army to die in subspace, an unexpected situation finally completely changed the situation on the battlefield.
Although there is no trouble from Jung or the Samsara team, the various unidentified characteristics of the subspace are equivalent to directly banning all conventional detection and early warning methods. Under the orders of Admiral Tashiro, every battleship of the Exelion fleet opened its guns and fired in all directions without restraint. If Jung's side hadn't used the sensing between DG clones early on to make a simple friend or foe identification device, there would have been a 90th chance that countless large-scale self-injuries of the main gun would have appeared directly in front of everyone's eyes.
It's a pity that Jung's side was rather depressed to find that not only were there no cases of self-injury at all, but even the cosmic monsters that were originally targeted were also not hit much. If nothing else, just look at the number of enemies in the subspace......
Wait a minute?!
The number of enemies?
The individual values that appeared in Jung's eyes and clearly belonged to the subspace universe monster (which also belonged to the entire LEAF-64 galaxy) were already far beyond the upper limit of the original book.
Moreover, perhaps cosmic monster reinforcements from other galaxies have also joined in, so much so that the number of enemy troops that Roger, who was shocked by the news, "could see with the naked eye" was several times more than expected.
And, in fact, it continues to increase.
"There are so many just to see, an Exelion fleet, as for the other party to intercept and kill halfway so much?"
Including the two new plane heroines, the spiritual link of the reincarnation team is much more lively than in the past, but now in this grim situation of soldiers coming to the city, both Amano Kasumi and Noriko Takaya are very knowledgeable and did not take the initiative to speak, but Roger's side is particularly active today, at least the above sentence is hummed from his nose by himself.
On the surface, there seems to be no difference in attitude from usual, but Jung was probably infected by Roger today, and there seem to be a lot of thorns in his words, and if you dig a little deeper into the "details of the lines", there is obviously something wrong with the emotions of this reincarnation team thinker, "Compared to destroying the earth, hundreds of millions of troops will be dispatched, and the number of squads responsible for chasing and killing should be within a fairly reasonable range now." Have you forgotten that we are in a subspace where all kinds of physical formulas have failed? ”
"You're trying to say that most of these cosmic monsters I see in front of me exist as pure projections?"
"No one is willing to waste their time admiring your optimism these days, but haven't you really envisioned another reality that could be the exact opposite?"
"Could it be that the cosmic monsters still want to fill the subspace on their own?"
"I don't know if it's better to say that you are optimistic, or if you are deliberately escaping from reality...... In short, to put it bluntly, from the perspective of human beings, subspace is full of all kinds of unknown variables, but since the cosmic monsters can enter the subspace as if they were in a no-man's land and launch physical attacks on the Exelion fleet at will, then it is obvious that ......"
"It's clear that the cosmic monsters are either familiar with subspace to an astonishing degree, or they have the ability to change physical formulas in the first place." Roger's side didn't seem to plan to fish in troubled waters, and Jung's last sentence was terminated by him with a relatively correct answer before he could say half of it.
This is actually nothing unusual, after all, the reincarnation of the force side always has some special bonuses in combat, such as combat intuition and combat experience, etc. Besides, no matter how messy Roger has been since he entered this mission plane, he knows that the Dao Cosmic Monster is an enemy that he can't get around no matter what. So no matter whether he would rather change the plot in other aspects or not, he is lazy, but in the study of the characteristics of cosmic monsters, (for more than ten years) he has never been abandoned.
In the primordial plane of this incompetent instructor, it seems that some otaku have discussed and summarized the comparison and ranking of the real combat power of various monsters or cosmic-level enemies, and so on. This guy regretted that he hadn't participated in this activity that he scorned in the first place—otherwise he might have known the combat power and characteristics of the Dao BETA a long time ago—but judging from the final evaluation results of this event that others have not fully quoted elsewhere, the cosmic monsters in the Leap Peak are basically recognized as top-level and difficult enemies.
If there is any misfortune in the first place, it is that this kind of thing may not have the ability to travel through time and space or the law of cause and effect in the original plane of the Leap Peak. As for whether there will be an increase in this plane, just like the G element collected by BETA can allow Jian Chunxia to restart the N parallel worlds, Roger is resolutely and completely unwilling to know the Dao.
But no matter how much he escapes, the pursuit of the cosmic monster in the subspace is also directly described in the original book, and it can be regarded as an ironclad thing. Moreover, he also participated in the tactical discussions between Jung and DG, and the whole team included "the method of FOLD navigation to be learned and mastered by the other party" as a prerequisite from the beginning, and the real purpose of the time difference plan was to add double defense to the Exelion fleet in a grand manner, so that they could preserve their strength as much as possible under the premise that it was impossible to start a subspace battle with the enemy.
This feeling that you can only use the known to fight the unknown is quite unpleasant.
"It's just to teach the method of extremely short-distance jumps to the cosmic monsters in advance, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the rationality of the plot of the mission plane."
Roger remembered that Jung, who had broken the jar and broken it at the beginning, came to the conclusion that once the enemy's strength exceeded a certain limit, what could the reincarnation team do if they didn't tear down the east wall and make up the west wall?
Fortunately, changing a physical formula or law is not the same as changing a constant. So in this plane where hard work and perseverance are clearly corrected into physical constants, as long as you can fight side by side with the heroines, there will probably still be a chance of survival, right? Probably......
But in any case, even the protagonist duo, who occasionally audited the spirit link, did not believe that the cosmic monster's methods were only as shown so far. Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the cosmic monsters can take advantage of the unique environment of subspace to attack in all directions and even across time and space, the total number of beatings that can be taken by the Exelion fleet is only that.
If we take into account the fact that in addition to the flagship, there are several warships that can survive in the original book, even if the enemy increases the number and means of subspace attacks, the Exelion fleet also has the double protection brought by the complete consumption of FOLD crystals. No matter how you look at it, the battle situation cannot be worse than the original book. So the question that everyone needs to really face is how to fight the battle after returning to normal space.
At least that's what even the most cautious Jung thought at the time.
As a result, the rapidly changing battlefield situation quickly mocked the Samsara team-
Admiral Tashiro stubbornly guarded the subspace, and even used his body as a bait to transfer away from the main force of the cosmic monsters. But just when the ships were ready for the worst, all the detection systems that were obviously unusable in subspace before appeared with the identification signals of cosmic monsters.
This change has nothing to do with the Samsara team.
(Although Jung has been trying to develop subspace detection methods for many years, the results are really difficult to get hold of, and even the countless experiments on the DG side have mostly failed.) Needless to say, the reason is that at least there must be a cosmic monster that can be used to practice, and it is best to have a cruiser-class and sufficient number - this is a planetary-level enemy no matter how you look at it, and you have to pursue comprehensive control of the field at the same level, and if you have to kill the cosmic monster at the end, it seems really difficult. )
And then all the commanders of the Exelion fleet found that the subspace in which their warships were located was gradually changing, or in other words, increasing various information elements in the real space in an almost influx way. In other words, even if the power systems of the ships remained intact and the WARP engines were still running at full power, the entire fleet was still dug out of subspace by the enemy.
It is said that the cosmic monster side should not have any coordinates related to the solar system, otherwise they would have abandoned the Exelion fleet and killed directly to Earth. But if it is purely explained by accident, it seems that there is something wrong with the fleet now reaching the edge of the solar system as soon as it returns to the main material plane?
"What is the probability that the enemy will directly calculate the common destination of each ship according to the difference in the parameters of the engines of different types of warships in the fleet?"
This time, it was Roger who was the first to react, and DG didn't even need to simulate and calculate in detail, which confirmed the feasibility of this reverse idea. But honestly, it's too late to figure it out by now. The tactical objective of the cosmic monster side has apparently changed from destroying the Exelion fleet to finding the human home planet.
Moreover, this purpose has now been fully achieved, and they can even disband on the spot and flee without any problem.
If the cosmic monsters are really smart enough to do that, then both the safety of the earth and the mission of the reincarnation will be difficult to save. Jung also didn't have to think about the details of how to adapt this assimilation position to her personal preferences. Because by that time, there is probably nothing left around her except for cosmic monsters.
"DG, is there a way to interfere with any of the enemy's jumps?" This is a straightforward question that Roger asks in the Spirit Channel.
At the same time, in the headquarters of Exelion, Admiral Tashiro did not show any luck or flinch in the face of the first mate's inquiry: "If this ship blows itself up, can you leave all the enemies here?" ”
In the face of these two guys who are already desperate, the answers fed back can barely be regarded as good news-
According to DG's analysis, the way the enemy seemed to dig out the Exelion fleet just now was actually some kind of contingency plan for the Cosmic Monster Force to urgently break away from WARP. At least judging by the current energy fluctuations on the enemy's side, it seems impossible to increase the "power" to a level sufficient for long-range anti-tracking WARP in a short period of time.
What do you mean by anti-tracking? As mentioned before, the intelligence of the cosmic monsters has reached a certain level, and although the previous FLOD plan did not succeed in getting rid of the enemy, it indirectly showed the kind of space jumping mode that they had not been exposed to. Then, under the premise that they can't accurately estimate the strength of the Samsara team's skills, their WARP method naturally chooses to be cautious.
So, there is still some time.
The first officer's answer was more concise:
If we do not first find out the exact number of enemies, we will not be able to talk about the question of "leaving all the enemies behind."
In this case, the two warmongers who asked the question invariably held the brim of their hats and carefully adjusted the military caps on their heads.
"Go to war!"
"Go to war!!"
……
In the original book, the small ships of the Exelion fleet that fled from subspace in a hurry were all wiped out, and the main class plus the cruiser-class cosmic monsters that were mistaken for themselves before the radar was restored were only 12% left. Now with the desperate protection of the Samsara team, most of the small ships are only temporarily losing their combat power due to the exhaustion of the shield energy, and the large warships are miraculously all alive. But the problem is that the number of monsters in the opposite universe is far more than 22 in the original book.
"If only the thirteen warships in the original book were protected, including Exelion." Roger complained in the spirit link as he issued the final assembly order to the top troops waiting to attack.
Jung had already returned to the TOP troops, and was working with Linda on the pre-ejection review work, and was basically too lazy to deal with someone's nonsense, so it was DG who spoke at this time, "If you really can't calculate the nearly three hundred number of the full Exelion fleet, then go and check the information directly, or use my doppelganger to report the number, why pretend to be responsible?" ”
Roger's face didn't even blush, anyway, even if DG didn't seem to save face for him, he still reported the number of capital ships of the Exelion fleet that he wanted to know. Then, after all the TOP troops are fully equipped, the corresponding defense tasks and combat objectives of the RX-7 will also be drawn up.
This aspect does not even need to be communicated by Roger in advance, it is enough to transmit it via a data link to the onboard computer of each member of the TOP Force. And then the one who was really responsible for the overall dispatch of the TOP troops in the attack was also determined to be my sister early in the morning.
This time, because the structure of the Exelion fleet was too well preserved, the cosmic monsters also took advantage of the scale of almost thousands of cruisers to invite them out of subspace. In the original book, the ratio of nearly 1 to 2 put the Exelion fleet in a battle to the death, and at the end of the day, only the flagship could barely hold on, and now this gap of at least ten times more seems to be more and more desperate.
But that's just what it seems.
After all, the outcome of each battle cannot be roughly calculated simply by the proportion of troops participating in the battle on both sides, and the combat power that can be formed by at least 13 warships is definitely not enough for one-24 percent of the nearly 300 warships, and it is very likely that it will not even reach 10 percent.
Perhaps because of the default number of cosmic monsters in each battle, they are relatively at a relatively primitive stage in terms of specific combat formations and coordination. As a result, on the human side, on the march, often any formation can achieve the maximum results expected by their design. Therefore, the current comparison of the number of capital ships on both sides seems to be less optimistic than in the original book, but in fact, in a battle of this scale, the Exelion fleet is more than enough to protect itself.
In the future, as long as the Samsara team uses the predetermined plan normally, and GUNBUSTER can attack smoothly, it may be possible to achieve the result of "destroying the enemy" without hindrance.
However, even Roger was not naïve enough to start celebrating early, in fact, he had been using the DG clone to scout the surroundings of the battlefield, and even used some fixed observation posts that were originally set up in the solar system. Although these space observation posts are fixed, they are actually only working on regular patrols with reference to the detection range of less than light seconds. Therefore, through the detailed questioning of these DG clones, a certain incompetent coach found that as early as when the Exelion fleet broke out of the subspace, two or three thousand cosmic monsters had already entered this temporary war zone in advance.
That is to say, don't look at the number of monsters in the universe now, which has formed an absolute advantage over the human race dozens of times, after the real fight, those reserves can be further put into the battlefield at any time, forming a complete crushing of the human side. Even if the reincarnation team, facing the opponent's superior forces, wants to be as comprehensive as the previous two battles, the possibility of protecting from top to bottom is too low.
What's more, even in the first two "small-scale and low-intensity" battles, the opponent still brought them a little "surprise" at every turn.
As a result, not only did Noriko Takaya stay inside the ship as in the original book, but GUNBUSTER was on standby at all times. Even Jung must be ready to use all his strength at any time to protect the members of the TOP troops. As for the main ships of the entire Exelion fleet, of course, Roger and DG are in full charge.
Although the main body still does not plan to return from Orion, the characteristics of DG make it impossible for her to have much difference in combat power between the clone and the main body after she releases certain restrictions, and her doppelganger has long been scattered to all corners of the fleet...... So in the division of labor just now, it seems that Roger is the most relaxed.
But in fact, this reincarnation of the force side is not moving, once the situation is so severe that he must be forced to play, even if there is still no news of the death of the personnel, but it must be the life and death of the entire fleet-
No way, for the assimilation or mission of the entire plane, the reincarnation team must make Noriko Takaya grow. Although this is not a battle-level tough battle, it is a great opportunity for novices to come on the stage and earn experience points. If you blindly covet security and task rewards or something, in the words of online games, it will harm Noriko Takaya with no level and no experience, and if she has pure equipment, it will be bad sooner or later in the future.
However, there is actually a hidden biggest premise in all this - what the Exelion fleet has to do is not only to hold on until GUNBUSTER strikes, but to contain dozens of times more cosmic monsters than in the original book near the battlefield before Noriko Takaya officially debuts.
Otherwise, who knows if the enemy will be able to increase his troops one after another, and directly annihilate all the resistance of the earth at this point in time?
It sounds like a contradictory setting, it's obviously on the weak side in terms of conventional combat power, and the trump card has to be left until the last to play. Moreover, the most difficult tactical objectives of the whole battle must be left to the normal combat forces.
Noriko Takaya didn't understand this very much, but relatively speaking, Kasumi Amano's side was more in favor of the plan of the reincarnation team. Therefore, in the spirit link, when Roger and Jung were dragged by DG to open a separate channel to discuss some details related to the reincarnation team, it was the elder sister who explained the tactical arrangement to the first heroine of the plane.
"The GUNBUSTER claims that it is not completely finished, and in fact, no matter how perfect the design and assembly are, this body is really not reliable enough. And the most important point is that the separation and merger module has not been effectively verified, so it can only be used as a separate body. ”
"Yes, my sister."
"In other words, even if GUNBUSTER is truly overwhelming, it will only be able to defeat the enemy in front of it at best, and the best result is based on the enemy's willingness to engage us head-on."
By the time she explained this, Noriko Takaya had actually understood what her sister was trying to say.
Assuming that a few guys from the Samsara team were listening, they would have been surprised to find that Kasumi Amano had predicted the most embarrassing scene in the second half of GUNBUSTER's first battle in the original book in advance-
Because the mechage in the original book is not only unable to conduct sub-light speed combat, but also can only maintain an activity time of about ten minutes. With only one of their own ships left, the main combat power of the cosmic monster escaped far away from its edge, and even the cruiser-class that was locked as the enemy leader obviously adopted a ranger tactic, which made the GUNBUSTER medium- and long-range weapons not powerful enough (or Noriko Takaya was not good at using them), and it was completely locked into a bitter battle within two minutes of its debut.
And that was actually the best situation of all expectations, because the enemy would rush straight into the trap as long as it was a little lure, and it was only after that cruiser-class was killed that the other cosmic monsters actually stopped pursuing.
Of course, the reason why the other side did not continue to pursue was that it did not take long for them to gather heavy forces and launch an absolute defensive operation in the solar system. From the size of dozens of cruiser-class cosmic monsters, it has frantically increased to hundreds of millions without warning - so if the Samsara team doesn't plan to consume too much of their own strength and follow the trend of the original book, they still have to drag GUNBUSTER to the last stage. However, it seems a little rash to bet your future on whether the other party will continue to be stupid.
At least the current Kasumi Amano is not so rash, and then under her persuasion and guidance, Noriko Takaya will obviously behave a level better than in the original book, and the combat power of the GUNBUSTER body is also accumulated by Jung for many years, at least it will not really be completely off the chain in ten minutes......
But the problem is that now the number of enemies is almost 100 times that of the original.
Even if it's the plane protagonist plus the protagonist machine, whether they can be kept is a problem. Not to mention that if the combat power on this side is too strong, it will be troublesome to scare the cosmic monsters away directly. You must know that the number of enemies in the Dao Dao has increased dozens of times from the original book now, purely from the reincarnation team, and the chain reaction triggered by Roger after he came out of the battle in the last battle.
Maybe this instructor has never been very competent, but if he only plays as a warrior, it will not be a problem to run over dozens of cosmic monsters. Assuming that the Exelion fleet assists from the side, the combat power of the relevant combinations will definitely be able to rise to another notch.
So the suspense of the outcome of this battle is not big, what I am afraid of is that when the absolute defense of the solar system is fought, the enemy will also correspond to double the crazy riots, and it will be over if the combat power of the silver heart scale is sent......
It is necessary to maintain enough strength and try to save every ounce of combat power and every life of the Exelion fleet. It is also necessary to show weakness appropriately, so that the enemy will not be able to run away too early, and if the information is transmitted back by the remnants of the cosmic monsters, it is best to make a false impression that "the strength of the human beings on the earth is very poor".
The contradictory planning itself alone is a bitter battle to ask for trouble.
……
It's not just the reincarnation team and the two plane heroines here, in fact, Admiral Tashiro, who is old and serious, obviously has similar considerations.
By now, Jung's true face of the false time difference battle has long been hidden. The result of being able to preserve the entire strength of the Exelion fleet is of course great, but if the relevant plan is based on deception and at the cost of deceiving all the fleet decision-makers, no matter how realistic and consequential the old captain is, he will still feel uncomfortable, right?
And the more critical thing is that even if it is a simple FOLD, the subsequent coordinate deception to the dimensional shield are all techniques that have never appeared on the side of the Earth Space Army before, or at least have never been verified. It's good to be able to achieve such favorable results, but what if something happens? How should warship commanders, who have no concept or experience in the relevant techniques, deal with the problems that come with them?
Well, these can be discussed after the war, and Admiral Tashiro still has the patience to do so. But when he received the number of enemy troops on the radar, he understood the cause of the chain reaction that was causing the result in front of him much faster than Kasumi Amano. Then, the old captain also remembered the problem of the learning ability of cosmic monsters and the high efficiency and pertinence that Jung specially emphasized when he first arranged the science lectures.
Then, what Roger and their small group were worried about, Admiral Tashiro was even more worried.
As for whether the Exelion fleet itself is the main force or the decoy duty, the old captain doesn't care much, but the problem now is that he really doesn't know if Roger Jung has other hole cards hidden. Even the GUNBUSTER, who was determined to fight in this battle, was very powerful in actual combat, and Admiral Tashiro couldn't be sure.
Even though he repeatedly consulted with the first mate and used his relationship with the GUNBUSTER production team to find out more, he didn't seem to get any clear answer.
"Let's fight first!" This kind of handsome-sounding line, who would a real commander want to use it? Even a kamikaze attack that knows to be sent to death is much stronger than this unexplained disruptive battle between the enemy and us. As the supreme commander of the fleet, Admiral Tashiro has no control over the specific combat strength of his troops, and if he doesn't even know how many troops he has, how can this battle be fought? Even if you give an order to let everyone charge forward, there is a difference between fast and slow speed.
Although the above is a bit alarmist, in a sense, Jung and Roger are probably no different from having an extra army after they have fully exerted the power of reincarnation. Moreover, from the level of the fleet commander where Admiral Tashiro is located, it is correct that he attaches more importance to the concept of division and combined attack of the forces in his hands.
In the final analysis, this is a question of the primacy of the battlefield commander, and if the combat power of the Samsara team is really high enough to completely ignore the level of the Exelion fleet, it really doesn't matter what Admiral Tashiro thinks or what the movement of the fleet itself is. But in fact, the Exelion's "Engine Critical Value Black Hole Bomb" tactic alone is a proper stellar class killer, and it seems that Roger really can't help but take it seriously.
Fortunately, this is a plane that is at least superficially hot-blooded, and Admiral Tashiro did not secretly do anything to Roger or the GUNBUSTER research team from before the war - if it is replaced by the theatrical version of another work of the original company, it is difficult to say - so at the beginning of the war, the human side still followed the standard routine of laser naval gun salvo and TOP troops escorting at close range.
Next, since the cosmic monster side has always maintained a movement level of one-tenth of the speed of light, it is difficult for the main gun salvo of the entire Exelion fleet to achieve any direct results. Therefore, the photon torpedo attack batch with tracking performance that was used for the first time more than ten seconds later was the focus of more attention on the human side.
It is important to know that if we follow the traditional theory of naval warfare, the main guns of battleships in the past basically depended on luck. In a space warfare where distances of tens or hundreds of light-seconds are often carried out, a fleet-sized salvo has not yet been completed, and the automatic targeting system may have to update the enemy's coordinate information nearly a thousand times. In this case, it is impossible not to fight a torpedo battle, and in the first two battles, the number of cosmic monsters lost under the photon torpedo was far greater than the number of laser cannon downs.
Therefore, when the first batch of photon torpedoes were all hit this time, "all the cruiser-class cosmic monsters that were significantly larger than the previous ones were safe and sound" This kind of battle that most people expected is completely unexpected, can no longer be described as amazing.
At this time, the TOP troops had just ejected all of them, and Admiral Tashiro was still thinking about how to establish a new relationship of mutual trust and cooperation with the mysterious "scientists". With the exception of the two plane heroines, who had already been prompted by Jung to be careful of the new gravitational shield on the cruiser-class cosmic monsters, the human side was almost entirely in a brief shock.
This battle is obviously more difficult to fight than expected.
Not to mention the original gap between strength and strength, now that the "maximum means of destroying the enemy" previously summed up by the human side has been cracked by the other side, Admiral Tashiro must immediately readjust the combat strategy and fleet formation. However, the only good thing that comes from this is that the old captain now doesn't care about thinking about the previous FOLD related issues.
Now that the disadvantage of their own side has increased significantly, it is unknown whether the laser cannon will be able to make a difference, and the Exelion fleet, which has been completely reduced to a supporting role, has not yet reached the point where it must be desperate. Then what Admiral Tashiro needs to do next is to retreat into the background of the sand fog and see how those hidden combat forces perform.
……
"Coach?"
"Noriko, wait a minute." In the spirit channel, Noriko Takaya had just asked half a sentence, and was cut off by the battlefield commander of the TOP troops, Kasumi Amano. "The enemy has just released the troop rank, and our overall formation has not yet been transformed, and the best time for GUNBUSTER to attack has not yet arrived."
"Sister."
"Please trust me, and your TOP troop comrades!"
Roger and Jung didn't interject at this time, and although they understood Noriko Takaya's feelings, they were more inclined to judge the battlefield situation of Kasumi Amano from a rational point of view.
From the very beginning, this battle was not because of the fear that the enemy would be strong, but because of the fear that the enemy would choose to flee decisively at any time even though he clearly had an advantage.
Judging from the current situation, after the opponent withstood the bombardment of the first batch of photon torpedoes, he did not have any intention of preparing for WARP, but instead referred to normal combat habits and directly responded with light bullets, and at the same time released a sufficient number of troops to prepare for melee combat. That is to say, at least for now, the cosmic monsters have to fight first. And before the two sides made official contacts, the Exelion fleet also did not suffer any losses.
Then, let's let the TOP troops led by Kasumi Amano entangle the enemy for a while, hoping that these troop levels are not objects that the cosmic monster side can give up at any time.
After a brief exchange of opinions between Roger and Jung on the team's internal channel, it was determined that Noriko Takaya had been temporarily persuaded by her sister, so she really didn't take the initiative to interject.
"All, nuclear bomb free fire!!"
It is not a copy of Roger's order from the first battle.
This order from Kasumi Amano was given at the most opportune time when the first wave of the troop level was about 5 seconds away from the fleet.
