Chapter 182: Strategic Mistakes

But it's a pity that Chen Yue can only think about it like this. Because this tactic is completely unachievable.

The hydrogen bomb has many incomparable advantages, but it has only one drawback.

The mass is too large, the volume is too large, and it is simply impossible to deliver quickly. And delivery is the most important performance indicator in interstellar warfare.

No matter how good you are, no matter how powerful you are, you can't send it out at all, what's the use? The fastest large interstellar missiles are as slow as a snail crawling compared to electromagnetic cannon projectiles, and a random electromagnetic cannon projectile can destroy you, and hydrogen bombs can't even detonate, so it's useless at all.

Facing the planet that was only a few million kilometers away, Chen Yue sighed with admiration, and in the end, he could only honestly implement the previous tactics and continue to move forward steadily.

This time, Chen Yue was ruthless.

He began to completely ignore the consumption of battleships, and did not care about how many casualties the enemy inflicted on him, and he was single-minded, advancing!

Under this tactic, the rate of annihilation of the battleship immediately increased to a level that could not be tolerated by any commander. But Chen Yue still ignored it and was still advancing.

This change was immediately noticed by Hongshan and Luwente.

"Such a reckless advance, undeniably, has indeed caused us great pressure and brought us unimaginable casualties. But...... What I don't understand is that at this rate of damage, even if the enemy fleet finally breaks through our defenses and finally captures Planet One, the total number of warships in their fleet will be reduced to less than 50,000, and there will be no supplies. ”

"At that time, the total number of warships of our coalition forces will also be reduced to about 7,000. But in the rest of the system, we still have about 10,000 ships that have not yet entered the battle. And the supplies are sufficient. ”

17,000 of your own well-supplied warships against the opponent's about 48,000 undersupplied warships, there is no need to think about which side is superior.

Red Hill did not think that the commander of the opposing fleet could not have anticipated such a situation. But it is clear that they still chose to do so. This baffled him even more.

Luvant was also puzzled. Because he made the same judgment.

"Perhaps...... Is the enemy planning to get supplies from Planet One after occupying Planet One? ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and denied the thought: "This can't be. Faced with an all-out attack from our side, a lack of supplies, and a large number of warships that are not repaired to burst out with full combat power, they will not be able to build enough factories on Planet One. ”

"Even if they built enough supply factories and got enough supplies beyond our expectations, what good was that? In comparison, it is still our strength that is superior. ”

"Could it be that they still have hidden power in space?"

"It's also impossible. If they have hidden powers, why not take them out in the first place? In that case, our side will be more passive, and even Planet 1 has long been lost, so they don't have to pay such a big price at all. ”

The enemy's unexpected actions left the two top military strategists in doubt.

Heavy fighting continues. At every turn, there were a large number of casualties on both sides.

For this kind of casualty, both commanders were a little distressed.

After all, before the war began, each side of the war controlled about half of the combat power of the civilization, about 50,000 warships. But after the end of this war, it would be good to have eight or nine thousand warships in hand.

About 40% of the entire civilization's military power has been lost in this galaxy, which is not a small loss.

But the two excellent commanders controlled their emotions relatively well.

When the loss is unavoidable, if the loss can be reduced, it can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility. A commander-in-chief should not be swayed by negative emotions.

The two commanders were still dutifully directing the battle, but subconsciously thinking about it.

"What exactly does the enemy want?"

A few days later, the two began to communicate routinely again.

"I thought about it for three days and three nights, and I couldn't understand why the enemy did this."

"Me too. I considered every aspect of the battle situation, every angle, and I couldn't figure it out. ”

"The enemy commander has a hole in his head, right?"

At this time, Luvent finally scolded regardless of his demeanor.

"I think it's water in my brain."

"Let's just think they're in the water. There is no reason why our side should not take advantage of the enemy's strategic mistakes. Then follow this arrangement. ”

Both of them knew in their hearts that once the enemy showed such a head-iron posture regardless of casualties, they would not be able to continue to hold Planet One. It is inevitable that Planet One will fall into the hands of the enemy.

But...... Even if you occupy Planet One, you have to be able to hold it. Even if it can be defended, it must be able to provide enough protection for the planet and build enough factories. Otherwise, what's the point of capturing a planet?

A good commander should be able to ignore the momentary gains and losses. In order to achieve greater strategic interests in the future, certain concessions can be made in the short term, and even a certain price can be paid.

As soon as the two sides reached an agreement, the follow-up tactics began to be adjusted.

Now that we are ready to lose Planet One, we should not continue to defend it, but should start preparing for the loss, evacuating some personnel, disposing of equipment and facilities, and setting traps to create problems for the enemy.

Of course, even if you are ready for the loss of Planet One, it does not mean that you have to let the enemy take over smoothly.

I'm really not going to defend it, but do you want to take it? Then pay enough price.

From this moment on, your strategic goal has been changed to try to kill and damage the enemy's living forces on the premise of preserving yourself.

The more enemies you kill at this stage, the greater your initiative will be in the future.

In this situation, Chen Yue found that his opponents' tactics were more flexible. Sometimes, in order to kill himself more, he will even take the initiative to back down and take the initiative to push himself.

Chen Yue immediately comprehended the strategic intentions of his opponents.

"This is realizing that Planet One is about to be lost, and I am ready to look at the future."

He sneered secretly in his heart: "Then I'll surprise you when the time comes." ”

In this case, from the beginning when Chen Yue changed his tactics to the present, it has taken more than 20 days for the human fleet to finally advance to a place only 200,000 kilometers away from Planet One.

At this moment, in front of the human fleet, except for the land-based air defense weapons that are still fiercely attacking their own side, there are no enemy warships in front of them.

It only took less than two hours to travel under normal sailing conditions, and it was finally crossed by Chen Yue.
