Chapter 445: Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement
In this big war, the battlefield where Rocky is located is only a local battlefield, in fact, when they are in full swing, the big battlefield is also in full swing.
In the face of the menacing heavy armor ship force that showed no signs of stopping, the coalition forces led by Wilton made a series of responses.
First of all, the battleship force under his personal leadership has been on the offensive, and the Coalition battleships with ultra-long range have been bombarding the approaching heavy armored ships indiscriminately with their main guns, although the effect is not very good, but dozens of heavy armored ships have been sunk in the continuous shelling.
Secondly, while he personally stood at the front, he also gave a new order, ordering the second phalanx of the Union Army to start attacking!
The three phalanxes formed by the coalition army, the main force is the battleship phalanx, and in the other two phalanxes, there is also a unit dominated by air cruisers, which may be one level lower than the battleships in rank, but the strength is not weak at all, and now this force is also dispatched.
With Wilton's order, a large force composed of 800 cruisers set out and rushed into the battlefield at a rapid speed!
The cruiser is one less circle than the battleship in terms of level, firepower, and size, but the speed is much faster than the battleship, which is very normal, but the patrol ship unit that rushed into the battlefield at this moment is not only fast, but even a little fast!
As soon as this force moved, it circled from the flank to the Imperial army, which was led by the heavy armoured ship force, and obviously set off much later than the battleship force led by Wilton, but it was the first to strike, and soon overtook the battleship phalanx, and began to surround the enemy from the flank.
Extremely fast cruiser.
If Kafka's empire has the big killer weapon of heavy armor, then the killer weapon of the Sky Alliance is this fast-moving patrol ship force.
The patrol ships that make up this force are the unique speed cruisers of the Sky Alliance, the speed of this kind of cruisers is fast, and its speed in the air is not even inferior to that of destroyers that are good at speed, but their firepower, armor, etc. are much higher than destroyers, not only higher than destroyers, even compared with normal air cruisers, extremely fast cruisers are not weak in all aspects, but their speed can be greatly ahead.
This kind of warship technology is a unique technology of the Sky Alliance, and it has also created such a unique fleet, which is the force in front of you.
Obviously, Wilton sent this force in order to take advantage of the speed advantage and carry out a quick encirclement of the Imperial army!
The Imperial Army's heavy armored ships are indeed very strong, but if the Imperial Army thinks that this one force alone can make the Alliance Army helpless, it is too underestimated to underestimate the Sky Alliance, and it is too underestimated to underestimate Wilton.
The reason why Wilton was in a hurry to send the air demon troops before, on the one hand, he really planned to use the air demon warriors to block the heavy armored ships, but in the same way, his step was also a trap.
After the air demon troops attacked, although the focus of the battle was temporarily focused on the air demon warriors on both sides, but in this process, the battleship troops of the alliance army and the heavy armored ship troops of the imperial army, the two forces were actually approaching each other all the time.
When they got closer to each other to a certain distance, Wilton decisively dispatched a patrol ship force, and took advantage of the speed advantage of his own patrol ships to carry out a sudden encirclement of the Imperial army in a very short period of time, so as to form a situation of fighting more and fighting less.
As mentioned before, although the Imperial Army sent a heavy armored ship force to take the lead, there were two other phalanxes on the left and right flanks of the heavy armored ship force, and the other party obviously intended to let the two following phalanxes deal a fatal blow after the heavy armored ships disrupted the formation of the alliance army.
But now, because the speed cruiser is too fast, when it goes around the flank of the Imperial Army, the formation of the Imperial Army has no time to adjust, and the result is a large army advancing in a triangle type, although the heavy armored ships on the front can attack the battleship force led by Wilton, but among the two forces on the flank, only one can face the cruiser directly, and the other force can't do anything because it has no time to adjust the formation!
You must know that although the forces dispatched by the two sides in this battle are about the same, the alliance army only formed three phalanxes, and the number of warships in each phalanx was about a thousand, but the imperial army formed four phalanxes, although there was one more phalanx, but the number of warships in each phalanx was less, not as simple as one or two less, but each phalanx was missing hundreds of warships!
In this case, once the Alliance forces complete this encirclement, then even if the Imperial Army has a so-called invincible heavy armored ship force, and even if the heavy armored ship force is really invincible, the troops on the flanks will definitely be eaten, which is an army of 800 cruisers!
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, when the patrol ship force of the Alliance Army quickly surrounded from the flank, the Imperial Army also immediately made adjustments.
The first thing to do was to make the three phalanxes led by the heavy armored ships immediately change their formations, so that the third formation, which could not do anything in the encirclement, quickly broke away from the army and began to fly in the other direction.
At the same time, the Imperial Army also dispatched its last phalanx!
The Imperial Army had previously divided its forces into four phalanxes, but only three of them had been dispatched, and the last phalanx had remained in front of the formation, but now, as Wilton planned to make a siege on the battlefield, the Imperial Army had also dispatched this last phalanx.
As a top force, Kafka's empire naturally knows very well how difficult the Sky Alliance's ultra-fast cruisers are, as if the Sky Alliance knows the power of heavy armored ships, so the Imperial Army has long been on guard against this, and this defense is the last phalanx!
This last phalanx, consisting of hundreds of destroyers, may not seem very strong in terms of quantity and quality. But there is one thing, this phalanx of all destroyers is fast enough!
So after this phalanx set off, it didn't take long to enter the battlefield, and then it ran towards the patrol ship force of the Alliance Army!
And when Wilton saw this series of changes in the Empire, he couldn't help but nod secretly, it seems that the commander of the Imperial Army is not an easy person, and this series of reactions is really a good move.
Some people may wonder what the Imperial Army is doing, and how can it be so praised by Wilton?
There must not be a few people who have this kind of question, which is not light, because these people have not yet figured out the intentions of the Imperial Army, but Wilton has already seen it, and he understands very well that the commander of the Imperial Army is carrying out a counter-encirclement of himself and the Alliance Army!
