Chapter 1348 Cutting off the retreat, Irsha’s defensive operations (6)
The trouble with war lies not only in the military, but also in diplomacy.
It looked like the two countries were fighting, but in fact it was a circle of people watching the show.
Of course, it would be a different matter if everyone gets involved and joins the team to participate in the grand event.
The Red Maple Republic took the lead in launching a sneak attack, and there was no suitable reason. Simply put, it had no righteousness.
Diplomatically, they are very passive and have been condemned by many countries and added to the embargo list.
But more small countries actually want to have both sides.
After all, the No. 1 brother and the No. 2 brother of Xingqun United are now fighting, so Xiaoguo can only express his opinion and wait for customers to come to the door.
Yes, many countries sell supplies from both ends.
The Kingdom of Storms sells supplies, and it actually has something to do with the Swan.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the design features of the Constellation United Battleship will immediately recognize that the Swan is a Storm Kingdom ship, not to mention that it is equipped with a Storm Kingdom's unique light spear main gun. This is not foreign trade at all. version, obviously a model for personal use.
The Red Maple Republic can use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Storm Kingdom. When your warships appear on the battlefield, are you planning to sell arms to the Spinning Water Federation?
Even if Storm Kingdom explained, it would be unreasonable, so he simply sold both sides, so that both sides had nothing to say.
In fact, the Spinning Water Federation has also ordered magic mechas from the Kingdom of Storms, and is even talking about directly moving the production line and the complete set of processes. However, the Spinning Water Federation's goods have to wait for the production capacity to come up.
The goods that the Red Maple Republic wanted were taken directly from the army and took away the ready goods.
The number is not particularly large. After all, the Kingdom of Storms is a small country and has only recently started to change its equipment. Unlike space fighters, which have tens of thousands in stock.
But these magic mechas from the Kingdom of Storms caused considerable trouble to the pilots of the Whirlpool Federation.
The main reason is that I have never seen it before.
The paper performance of the magic mecha is not much higher than that of the space fighter. Simple data comparison will not produce a crushing effect. However, once it enters actual combat, the combat efficiency and characteristics of the magic mecha will make space fighter pilots unfamiliar with it Very headache.
Since there are no missiles, the style of air combat here is very primitive.
For example, two space fighters fly in opposite directions, firing while flying. When the distance is too close and they feel that they may be hit, they immediately turn. Then the two space fighters will start to fight in a circle.
The technical details are all about which direction to turn, whether to step on the accelerator, whether the angle is appropriate, whether your body can withstand the G force, and see who can catch the enemy's weakness first.
Of course, the actual combat situation will be more complicated. It is often like driving a train, with both sides competing for 6 points.
This is why Li Chengqi can defeat space fighters even when flying a shuttle. He never follows others in a circle. He is good at one-shot escape tactics using high speed and precise shooting.
And dog fighting in circles is not only written in the aviation school's tactical manual. When the pilot sees the enemy, his instinctive reaction is to circle around and bring the enemy aircraft into his crosshairs.
But the magic mecha will not follow you in circles.
The mass transfer system and attitude control nozzle allow the magic mecha to turn around easily, with a turning radius of almost 0. It does not even need to be completely turned around. It can aim and shoot by reaching sideways and raising the weapon in its hand. At this time, the space fighter is still While turning around stupidly, he had no idea that he had exposed his fragile back.
It can be said that unless the space fighters have the ability to turn at sharp angles like a lionfish, the most important attribute of turning radius will be completely destroyed by the magic mecha, and they prefer dog fighting. As a result, when the second wave of aircraft fell into a melee, the fighters of the Spinning Water Federation were scattered all over the ground like fallen leaves, making it impossible to pick them up.
However, everyone had brains, and after paying a heavy price, they finally realized the difference in piloting between magic mechas and space fighters. The pilots of the Spinning Water Federation also began to think of ways to counterattack.
It is very undesirable to circle around the magic mecha, so what about trying a sneak attack?
The pilots soon discovered that the lower part of these magic mechas was a blind spot. To be more precise, it was the lower and rear areas, roughly around the thighs and buttocks.
In fact, it's not a blind spot. The magic mecha has a sky monitor, so you can have a 360° view of all the surrounding scenery.
The problem lies with the Maple Republic drivers, who are also newbies.
In a gravity environment, people use the ground as a reference, allowing you to distinguish up, down, left, and right.
When flying a space fighter, you sit in the cockpit and the reference point is the floor. Although dizziness and confusion may occur, you can overcome it with training.
But that’s not the case when driving a magic mecha. Due to the surrounding monitor, you will really feel like you are floating in the void, not to mention that this thing uses a motion capture operation mode, which has caused many people to Once you go up to the void, you will feel dizzy.
Just like Hall, she fainted when she first flew the Silver Tornado. She was a seasoned and experienced pilot, and had undergone adaptive training, so she could slowly adapt.
For an ordinary person, let alone fighting, he would choke to death even if he vomited in the cockpit.
So novice drivers in the Red Maple Republic are told to try not to look at their feet to avoid dizziness.
Because of this, the rear is the weak point.
The three-machine formation of the Spinning Water Federation began to counterattack the magic mecha by using one person to lure it and the other two to sneak attack from below.
Some results have indeed been achieved, but firstly, this weakness was discovered too late. Secondly, this also means that one magic mecha requires three space fighters to cope with it. The Spinning Water Federation, which does not have an advantage in numbers, will soon be unable to deal with it. The rapid interception force collapsed again.
The second line of defense will almost be unable to hold it any longer.
The third wave of aircraft fleets departing from the fortress and aircraft carrier did not even have time to form a complete third defense network, and the third wave of aircraft fleets of the Red Maple Republic were already approaching.
If this situation continues, even if the fortress is assisted by anti-aircraft guns, the Red Maple Republic will still be able to open the way for the armed transport ships to approach in a short period of time. Once they are allowed to approach, it will be a hand-to-hand encounter within the fortress.
So, how to solve this trap?
"Notify friendly forces to follow my route and the entire fleet to move forward at full speed. We must destroy the enemy aircraft carriers and cruisers that have jumped over."
The Red Maple Republic's fleet did indeed perform well, but that was just an appearance.
The real key lies in the mobile aircraft carrier at the rear. If you only think about how to defend the fleet from the aircraft carrier, you will be fooled and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
As long as the mobile aircraft carrier behind is destroyed, the aircraft fleet will become a motherless child no matter how capable it is of fighting, while our space fighters can continuously attack from the fortress.
Although Alyssa had never taken a day's fleet command course, she had really good battlefield awareness and grasped the key immediately.
