Chapter 1376 Encounter in the Zhenguang Galaxy (2)
In a state of war, both veterans and recruits are just line-fillers.
But just as there is a difference between a cow and a horse, not all filler babies are the same.
The Third and Fifth Fleets of the Spinning Water Federation were well-known standing armies before the war. After the war began, they experienced a series of battles and participated in almost all major battles to counterattack the Red Maple Republic. Their technical and tactical levels and fighting will were far behind. It can't be compared to the newly recruited good brothers with 100 yuan.
As a result, at the beginning of the battle, the Spinning Water Federation fired four volleys, while the Maple Republic's formation had not yet been set up, and the counterattack barrages were sparse.
This is exactly what the intelligence said. The numbers are small and the quality is not high. Even if they are intercepted, it will only be a little trouble and not a threat.
but……
Is it really that easy?
Alyssa also felt that something was not right. Fools were as rare as geniuses in this world, and even fewer could reach the top.
The Red Maple Republic is clearly aware of its current predicament. Sending a fleet of new recruits that have not yet formed combat effectiveness to intercept is just a meaningless tactic to add fuel to the enemy. It has no effect other than killing the opponent and cannot stop it at all.
The most reasonable strategy should be to trade space for time, abandon the unimportant star field near the junction of the two countries' territories, and use this time to reorganize and train the disabled fleet.
In fact, this is what the Spinning Water Federation did at the beginning of the war, it was just passively trading space for time.
The territory of the Red Maple Republic is much larger than that of the Spinning Water Federation, and there is no Star Gate that can directly threaten the capital. Even though the battle lines are now being pushed back, they still have a certain degree of initiative.
In this case, they still sent new soldiers to intercept...
No wonder Alyssa felt something was wrong.
She sent her idea to the fleet command through the fleet command system, but the command only replied with "read".
"The enemy cruiser fleet begins maneuvering."
"Notify the fleet and we will intercept it."
The Swan is now the flagship of the cruiser formation of the Fifth Fleet. Alyssa is responsible for commanding these more than a hundred ships. It is not her turn to intervene in the artillery battle of the main fleet, but if the opponent's cruiser formation moves, it is her turn to take the lead. It's time.
There was a faint uneasiness in my heart, but again, the number of fools is as rare as that of geniuses. The fleet command should also be aware that something is wrong. If there is a precaution, even if there is an accident, there should be a plan to deal with it.
In short, let’s take care of the things in front of us first.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"The main gun hit, the enemy cruiser set fire, looking for the next target."
"The counterattack barrage is coming!"
"Shield recharge."
As the blue shield appeared outside the bridge glass, several ion beams swept across the Swan.
"Tell the aircraft carriers behind to follow closely, otherwise they won't even have a chance to go to court-martial when we get back. I will kill them with my own hands!"
Just now, she said she should take care of the matter at hand first, but soon after the cruisers from both sides entered the bombardment range, Alyssa became very angry.
The cruiser formation is composed of a large number of cruisers and a small number of aircraft carriers. In previous battles, the aircraft carriers of the Fifth Fleet were seriously damaged, and many aircraft carriers had to temporarily leave the battle sequence and stay in the space fortress Ilshai to wait for repairs. So a lot of new aircraft carriers were added to Alyssa's command, and damn, all of them moved slower than the old lady.
This has nothing to do with the performance of the ship, it is purely because the recruits are scared and intimidated.
After all, as soon as the two sides started fighting, naval guns and ion beams were like raindrops hitting the front door. The mobile aircraft carrier could not withstand many shells, so naturally the first reaction was to slow down and avoid getting too close.
But this is actually wrong. The barrage looks dense, but in fact the distance between the two sides is still very far. Unless you are really unlucky, it will be extremely difficult to hit.
Besides, the aircraft carrier also has a shield. If you are unlucky enough to receive two shots, you will not die suddenly on the spot, unless you are unlucky enough to be targeted by fire.
As a result, the aircraft carrier formation almost broke away from the cruiser formation. Once it did break away and lost the protection of the cruiser in front, the aircraft carrier would directly become a target.
The difficulty of bringing in new recruits is the same everywhere. The Swan used to be in the cruiser formation and was surrounded by veteran veterans. Not to mention that this kind of normal firefight would not go wrong, even if it was charging into the fortress with all its firepower. Everyone knew that it was a narrow escape, but no one retreated. The fighting will was not on the same level.
What's even more annoying is that the captain of the aircraft carrier at the rear also sent a video call asking whether to launch carrier-based aircraft.
"Fuck it! Fuck you! You are the flagship and I am the flagship? Just obey my orders!"
The aircraft carrier has a good idea. They can retreat by releasing the carrier-based aircraft, but now they are not within the combat range of the carrier-based aircraft. What is the use after releasing it? Will the carrier-based aircraft become orphans?
The newly added aircraft carrier has this kind of virtue, no wonder Alyssa is so angry.
Suddenly, I can understand the fleet commander of the Red Maple Republic a little bit. Their commander saw that his fleet was hit by four rounds of salvos and still didn't get into formation. I'm afraid the anger value was directly off the meter.
Damn, it's so hard.
The entire cruiser fleet's command system was filled with Alyssa's scolding and encouragement. At least there was no aircraft carrier captain to ask Alyssa about whether to launch carrier-based aircraft, and he could just make do with keeping up with the fleet without being intimidated. Can't fight.
Li Chengqi looked at this scene and felt that it was indeed not easy for Alyssa. Although she was a recycler who had never taken a fleet command course, her combat awareness had long been developed. It was unrealistic to expect her to become a famous general. , but it is much better than this group of new recruits who were dragged onto the battlefield as soon as they left the military academy and did not dare to move forward.
Perhaps it was because of this that the Swan was promoted to flagship, but it might not be very friendly to Alyssa's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. The veins on her forehead popped out when she yelled at the new recruits.
The cruiser formation is the type of ship that is most susceptible to losses and suffers the most losses. When both sides maintain a state of firing and getting closer, as the distance gets closer, the accuracy of the naval guns begins to increase significantly, and damage begins to occur gradually.
"Arrived at waypoint!"
An Yun's loud reminder interrupted Alyssa's frantic output. She also stared at the star map and saw that it was indeed in place, so she notified the command system:
"The entire ship is traveling at a quarter speed, maintain distance and route, and all carrier-based aircraft depart!"
Maintaining a certain distance allows the carrier-based aircraft to attack effectively, and the fleet is also in a relatively safe range to shoot at each other. If they get too close, they are planning to perish together.
The aircraft carrier, which had been scolded by Alyssa, finally felt like it was being amnesty, and immediately slowed down and began to eject the carrier-based aircraft.
Then Alyssa received a report of a carrier-based aircraft collision accident...
These idiots didn't even look to see if there were any obstacles in front of them when they ejected the carrier-based aircraft. Just move around and control your posture. Why are you keeping it?
Damn, my head hurts.
