Chapter 30: Instant Tactics
As time passed, the ghost launchers placed in New Gettysburg were still functioning normally, and the Federation had no idea what would happen next.
The signal source continues to radiate to the depths of the universe, and the Zerg scattered in the Kepru star area sensed the signal source and all rushed towards the Tasanis star field, a terrible disaster that could be predicted and unpreventable was about to happen, and the Battle of Tasanis will surely become the most impossible to ignore in the history of human warfare.2 catastrophe.
The battle has reached its most critical time so far, and one of the Federation's main fleets, the "Omir Fleet", has met the "Alpha Fleet" as scheduled. Edmund Duke, as the former supreme commander of the Federation's "Alpha Fleet", one of the few generals of the Federation, has now betrayed the Federation and become a tentacle of the Mengsk Executioner Group, O'Neill is the first to denounce him as a traitor.
However, Edmund Duke does not eat his set, some things are well known to the discerning people, everyone wants nothing more than the only victory, there is no right or wrong in war, only victory and defeat, history is always written by the victors, the only difference is the difference in positions.
War between the two sides was inevitable, and after a war of words, war came, and the strength of the two fleets could be said to be evenly matched. The "Alpha Fleet" occupies the initiative on the battlefield, and the "Omir Fleet" with O'Neill as the supreme commander also has a home advantage, this is the hometown of the Federation, he can get the most timely and powerful logistics supplies, and this aspect is the weakness of the "Alpha Fleet", as the attacking side, their supply pressure is more significant, and both sides know each other's strengths and weaknesses. O'Neill has already tried to use delaying tactics and consume the opponent with strong logistical supplies, and the enemy is Edmund Duke, and Omir does not dare to be careless.
The "Alpha Fleet", on the other hand, was undoubtedly in their best interest to end the war with a blitzkrieg posture to compensate for the pressure caused by the lack of logistics. In such a war situation, the game between the two sides will ultimately depend on the confrontation between the supreme commanders of the two armies.
There is no doubt that this interstellar battle is definitely the largest frontal battle between the two sides since the "Union War". Ironically, this battle elevated the word "civil war" to another level.
Edmund Duke was confident in this war, he knew the old guy O'Neill very well, and he also knew that the old guy knew himself very well. The reason why Duke is so confident is because of his tactics this time, he dares to use everything to guarantee that O'Neal will never guess that he will be a big surprise when the final battle is revealed.
The war finally broke out, the "Alpha Fleet" led by Edmund Duke took the initiative to attack, the first shot of the war, Duke's tactical thinking has always been the style of active war, which is also expected by O'Neill, after the war began, O'Neill actively launched a defensive approach mechanism, everything is based on safety, he knows Duke but knows that guy is simply crazy, ruthless to his soldiers, and ruthless to himself, once the war starts, he will do whatever it takes to win.
At the beginning of the war, it seemed to be decent, one side attacked and the other side defended, and for a time the war was about to fall into a protracted war situation, both sides had losses to each other, both were within a radius of eight taels, and no one got any substantial benefits. For O'Neal, it's the situation he's most happy to see, he can stand the drain, he can play with you, but Alpha obviously can't afford it.
As the war dragged on, the battle became more and more fierce, and the battle losses on both sides were climbing by an alarming number, and the attrition of the battle loss was undoubtedly the most cruel for the soldiers participating in the battle, but they had no choice, the only thing was to fight.
One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, when it is.
The battle has been fought to this point, and neither side has taken much advantage, but how to calculate, it is Duke who will suffer in the end after this battle, and as a party, Duke is not panicked at all, he is on the bridge of the "Nord III" battle cruiser and directs thousands of troops, and the confidence revealed in his demeanor tells others that he is a bamboo in his chest.
The war of attrition is one of the most tragic battles, because the battle is continued with the lives of a large number of soldiers all the time, which shows how cruel the battlefield is, and this war has also been transmitted to the outside of the battle through the satellites on the planet Tassanis, especially the people on the planet Tasanis are paying close attention to the movements of this war, and UNN Media has transmitted the pictures on the battlefield to the studio through satellites and broadcast them live in the whole satellite area.
This move is absolutely unprecedented, in the past wars were impossible to broadcast live, but this time it is different, this war is fought in their faces, and it is possible to capture the picture of the real-time battlefield, and the federal government cannot stop it, because the people need to urgently know the most direct war report, and the current federal government can only obey the will of the people, and will never dare to suppress it.
The tragic images on the battlefield continued to impact the hearts of the people watching the live broadcast. Lasers scattered, missiles flew sideways, limb wreckage floated around, and clusters of fire burned in the deep space of the universe. This is war, they have personally experienced the cruelty of war, the beams of lasers, rows of artillery ruthlessly take one fresh life after another, this bloody and terrible scene is deeply imprinted in the hearts of these people who watch the live broadcast of the war report.
Maybe they will stick to it when they see the cruelty of war, or maybe not.
Time is going on, the war is still going on, the main forces of both sides are still fighting for damage, almost reaching a climax, but at this time, the war is undergoing subtle changes, and this change comes from the Renault Rangers.
Edmund Duke didn't control the Renault Rangers too much, just asked them to join the battlefield, perhaps because Duke didn't treat Renault very well, and this led to the Rangers becoming a ranger firepower, and also gave Renault's command the most room to play.
Duke scorns Renault even more after seeing the Rangers on the battlefield, and there is no doubt that the Rangers are like nouveau riche who have no knowledge of the art of war. Duke didn't need or expect the Rangers to do much on the battlefield, just some firepower for his own troops.
However, the Rangers ended up being the biggest change on the battlefield, something that neither Duke nor O'Neal expected.
The Ranger is like a parasite on the battlefield, he is constantly eating the flesh and blood of the enemy, but his own side has no loss, in the case of the enemy's main force being delayed, the Ranger has played the guerrilla warfare on the battlefield to the extreme, Renault resolutely reduced the small fleet of his squadron strength to zero, so that they will not become the target of the enemy, and the scattered Rangers harvest the lone enemy on the battlefield, isolate them and then eliminate them.
O'Neill focused on the game with Duke, and eventually ignored the presence of the Rangers, who continued to eat away at the enemy's troops. As the time of the war continues to pass, the latest battle loss ratio is unbelievable to O'Neill, in this war of attrition, his own battle losses are expanding, and the gap will soon come out. The "Son of Keha" began to gradually accumulate advantages, and if this continued, the gap would only widen.
Eventually, O'Neal found out what was going on, and the Ranger's move was definitely a surprise to him.
"It's just shameless!" O'Neill couldn't help but curse at his flagship, this was simply a rogue tactic, but he had to convince him that Duke's hand was indeed a stroke of genius.
Especially the tactic of this mobile firepower to zero, this force is obviously the real elite, this is the first point, it is impossible for him to divide the main force to encircle and suppress these scattered firepower, otherwise the main force will be devastated, and the small force is not enough to destroy them. This army is sometimes scattered and sometimes gathered, and he is always scorching you and gnawing at your flesh in small bites. It doesn't hurt to gnaw on a piece, but with a huge base, these small losses add up to a staggering amount.
For this force, the Omir fleet is simply helpless, concentrate the superior forces, they will not fight you, but always around you, constantly harassing; The scattered troops would be wiped out by his concentrated forces, and under the pressure of the main battlefield, it was impossible for them to divide too many forces.
The "Omir fleet" chose not to engage it, but this was impossible, the "Omir fleet" was here to fight, and the "Alpha fleet" was to meet them, and if they wanted to kill them, they had to fight, and the battle was their own loss, which was indeed very humiliating.
"Edmund is a tough guy to deal with." O'Neill could only sigh helplessly. But he is not afraid, because these losses will be all ready for the next supplies, and he is not afraid.
However, there is one thing, O'Neill is wrong, the Rangers' tactics have nothing to do with Duke, and even Duke is very surprised by the Rangers' achievements, although Renault has achieved a lot of advantages for the main force, but Duke believes that even without the contribution of the Rangers, it will not affect the whole battle.
Renault's tactics were not confined to the form of books, he did not receive a good military education, but in the battles he formed a set of unique tactical systems - real-time tactics, his tactics were very different from Frank's, and contrary to Frank's tactics, he rarely made detailed plans for a war.
If Frank is a master of strategy, then Renault is undoubtedly a master of tactics, a master of real-time tactics, he will always make effective and correct deployments according to the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, and give full play to the "real-time tactics", he can always resolve the difficult stalemate on the battlefield in a very short time, and even use it to counterattack.
"Instant tactics" are more demanding for commanders, as commanders, they must be able to adapt to changes on the battlefield, deploy the most effectively in the shortest time, and achieve ultimate victory, and all of them can do this without military excellence.
