Chapter 1691 Why is it always you
The atmosphere at the scene certainly became more solemn and tense. In the next five minutes, all the fortresses and base officers and soldiers in the entire galaxy entered combat positions. As for the fleet members, they were all in their places within fifteen minutes.
During this process, Yu Lian and Sylvester gave almost no orders. However, the officers and soldiers did not wait for instructions on everything like primary school students, but directly entered the standard interception operation process.
Yu Lian just visually observed that the automatic sentry gun on the front began to show its power. The 1,200 automatic turrets of the A-1 array blasted out beams of light that were far denser than heavy rain at the missiles that entered their firing range. The high-temperature and high-energy energy projectile detonated the warhead, immediately igniting a gorgeous and dazzling white light in the air.
This should only mean that everyone's combat preparations have been very good, and they can at least score 90 points. In short, it’s still the same sentence, Admiral Sylvester, you have to be high or low...
"I know you are thanking me with your eyes again, but that's enough." The old senior said helplessly: "Brother, such an overwhelming battle looks like fire suppression before a general attack!"
Textbook judgment. This is the advantage and disadvantage of academic generals.
"We must look at the battlefield from a higher dimension, sir. I always stick to this judgment. If the enemy wants a general attack, all the main forces will definitely move together. Since only one Titan was moved, it may be suppressed by fire. Whether it’s a charge or an outflanking, it’s all a tentative attack.”
And I have already told you that even all the imperial fleets on our route may be feints, but you don’t believe me.
Just as Yu Lian was about to explain further, he received news that the enemy fleet had really begun to divide its forces.
The Xiaolong led a large number of escort fleets and continued to advance towards the No. 1 main fortress, but the speed maintained an unhurried rhythm, like a beast king stalking and sneaking in the wilderness with a group of minions. But at the same moment, some Imperial warships also began to accelerate, changing from the left wing probe of the Imperial fleet to a protrusion, and then left the fleet headquarters, and began to maneuver at a constant speed in a counterclockwise direction along the orbit of Planet 7.
"Well, it's such a familiar rhythm." Yu Lian frowned.
"This is how the imperial fleet maneuvered during the last battle." Feifei immediately opened the terminal and it only took two seconds to bring up the battle situation map of the enemy and ourselves.
Yu Lian nodded slightly: "Indeed. However, during the last battle, we only had three airport platforms and two unmanned fort terminals in this direction. And now, we have built Fortress No. 8 there."
No. 8 can only be regarded as a medium-sized sub-fortress, but it is also equipped with high-power fortress cannons. If the main force of the Imperial Fleet storms the No. 1 main fortress, it can also provide artillery cover for the enemy's flanks.
In fact, all the sub-fortresses built by the old senior in Seide can serve this function. They can also form staggered fire cover between each other.
However, at this time, the revolution of the giant planet in the planet's orbit had a certain impact on the artillery firing range of the other fortresses. Perhaps the empire found a loophole that could be exploited.
"Perhaps the enemy is on the one hand tentative, and on the other hand they want to see if it is possible to capture the sub-fortresses? Maybe they want to try to knock out our sub-fortresses one by one before launching a general attack?" Chief of Staff Mkawa said.
"It makes sense." Yu Lian nodded and thought: "However, I still remember that the person in charge of this maneuver last time was..."
As soon as he made this judgment, he received an immediate analysis and report from an investigative officer.
"The enemy squadron is still accelerating. The marching track can be determined and coincides with Fortress No. 8!"
"The enemy squadron ship types have been determined, 3 battlecruisers, 3 aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, and 30 light cruisers. The flagship has been determined, it is...Yu Rabbit!"
"..." Why is it always you?
"He's your old rival." Feifei said with a smile: "He is indeed the old enemy you admit personally!"
"Okay, he is indeed my old enemy. But, is this guy really so aggressive? Sure enough, a person's fate is really closely related to the changes in history!" Yu Lian had mixed feelings.
Of course, since it is vigorous, it is far from over yet. Soon, the forward outpost received the latest information. Those three aircraft carriers are all with enhanced shields and armor. To put it bluntly, they are ships specially prepared for fortress attacks and fleet jumping gangs. This was the case with the Lexington, which Yu Company first served in the Battle of West End. However, after modification and expansion of the hangar, it became a standard aircraft carrier.
"So, the empire is preparing to land? Are you going to go straight to the main body as soon as you get up?" Admiral Sylvester asked in surprise. "Yes, going straight to the subject without even foreplay would be a bit uncharacteristic of the charm." Yu Lian calculated: "The imperial nobles I know are so sanctimonious that they should not be so rude."
"I mean, can't this be considered a general attack?" Admiral Sylvester glanced sideways at the other party and found that he was no longer so anxious. He just felt that if the other party was so calm, wouldn't it make him look stupid if he was as worried as an ant on a hot pot?
"Of course it's still a test. Battleships also cost money, but marines don't need it. No one knows the empire's behavior in this regard better than me." Yu Lian described the cruel content in an understatement, but then Then he said: "However, everything is as expected."
"It's all expected...well, as long as you have an idea." Admiral Sylvester repeated Yu Lian's words, and then he also showed a knowing smile. He probably felt that since Yu Lian smiled so calmly, he would definitely lose if he didn't smile.
In fact, all this was indeed expected by Yu Lian...well, in fact, the staff led by Chief of Staff Mkawa and classmate Rozeshi were expected.
When formulating the army's defense plan, Rozez pointed out that Fortresses No. 6 to No. 8 formed a triangular layout, which was exactly at the right angles to the main fortress. However, they will indeed be affected by the revolution of the giant planet, and will lack the protection of other friendly cities in a short period of time.
In this process, the empire's assault mothership burns its engine to the extreme and can break through the gravity of the giant planet. It will even start charging with the help of gravity and complete the attack on the fortress.
It is never smart to use naval guns and fortress guns to bombard each other, but as long as the stormtroopers board the space city and turn the space battle into a land battle, everything will be included in the empire's combat rhythm.
Facts have also proved that this attack by the empire is indeed very effective.
At 11:27 pm on April 1, the fleet led by Xiaolong was still taking a leisurely step outside the main gun of Fortress No. 1, and the squadron led by Yutu had already captured During the gap period of revolution, he successfully reached the effective distance of landing. The fleet's hundreds of main guns directed fire at the outer wall of the cylindrical space building, and the solid fluid metal curtain wall shone with dazzling firelight.
"Perfect fleet maneuver." Rear Admiral Yeager Soback on the Royal Rabbit heard his temporary partner at the same level praising himself through the screen.
"This... is all luck." Soback looked modest.
In fact, he was very satisfied with the command of this fleet movement, and originally wanted to be proud of it. However, it was Viscount Shameen who praised him, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Astral Knights (youth group). Although no one is mentioning this statement now, after all, he was once a genius who made him far-sighted and earned him so much praise. Viscount Ke was a little flattered for a moment.
Of course, he was actually very happy. As an energy conservationist who puts safety first, all proactive offensive tasks will put him in a state of low pressure, and his expression will naturally be listless.
...However, we also need to know that whether we are listless or calm does not depend on the objective materialism of our own vision, but on the subjective idealism of others' observation.
Viscount Shameen looked at the expressions of his colleagues and agreed: "Seeing you now, I know that your achievements and reputation today are definitely not a fluke. I may have some experience in brute force, but really When it comes to the cultivation of mind, I am far inferior to you.”
I always felt that this guy seemed to have a bit of a misunderstanding... But now Soback was too lazy to defend himself.
At this time, the ferocious firepower of the Soback fleet had suppressed a sector of Fortress No. 8. In just ten minutes, the bombardment destroyed at least hundreds of floating turrets and tore a hole in the fluid armor.
The three armored assault carriers also began to move forward, and the cooperation between the ships was perfect. Of course, this is actually the credit of the captains, and mainly due to the rigorous drills before the battle began.
"Then, I will be the first to enter the battlefield. I hope I can make a difference in the first battle!" Viscount Shameen on the aircraft carrier raised his fist to Soback across the screen and knocked on his breastplate. The slightly low-key black emblem machine has a bloody red light on it.
The so-called "first battle" should refer to the first cooperation after the War God Festival and the Predator Warning and Sweeping Operation in the Extreme Sector.
It can be seen that Viscount Shameen, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Knights (youth group), now regards Soback as a comrade of the same level or even slightly higher than himself, and is still looking forward to this battle, but The latter felt that the other party was expecting too much.
In this way, if the strategy fails, it should still be very frustrating, right? Although Soback personally feels that as long as there is no mood, there is nothing in the world that can affect the mood. However, after all, you cannot always demand others according to your own standards.
"Well, let's just let nature take its course for making meritorious deeds. Viscount, after all, we are only conducting a tentative attack. Your Majesty the Marshal did not say that we must capture this fortress."
