Chapter 220 Atlas Fleet begins to enter!
The first to make changes was the Timler family fleet.
After entering the battle, the radical and brave blood of the military aristocrat in Ryan Timler's bones was completely activated.
Although he has been the head of the family for a long time, today is the first time that he has followed the family fleet in a battle of this scale.
The charged particle beam that constantly sweeps near the battleship, and the white electric snake produced by the activation of the deflection field when the enemy's heavy particle cannon hits the bow of the ship.
It would make Ryan Timler's heart beat half a beat faster.
It seemed as if his grandfather appeared in front of him sitting on the captain's seat, following the emperor's flagship and countless other military nobles' battleships to form a spindle-shaped assault formation.
The huge 'spin cone' shuttled and shot in the dense rays, and finally penetrated the enemy fleet.
As the Timler Glory was shot again by a heavy particle cannon A hit, and the vibrations on the bridge pulled Ryan Timler back from his 'hallucination'.
Looking at the holographic projection platform, the enemy fleet that was fighting with them in the asteroid belt, and listening to the tactical information coordinator's report on the anxious battle situation.
Ryan Timler took a deep breath, and then said in a calm tone:
"Ron, do we want to dance face-to-face with each other?"
Hearing home The Lord suggested, and the commander of the Timler family fleet was stunned for a moment.
He did not expect that this inexperienced head of the family would actually make suggestions on the battle situation at this time.
Originally, he thought this might just be a casual suggestion from Ryan Timler, but after quickly thinking about the feasibility, Ron Schneider's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sir, your suggestion is very timely!"
He first flattered, and then issued a new order.
"The entire fleet is adjusted to a surprise attack formation, preparing for high-speed tactical maneuvers!"
"The opponent has changed its formation."
Looking at a distance of more than 200 kilometers from a long axis The fleet reappeared behind the asteroid, Antonio said.
On the enlarged picture of the panoramic porthole, the formation of the Timler family fleet has changed from the initial hemispherical bombardment formation to a more compact assault formation.
It looks like a giant spindle in space.
"Spinning cone formation, it seems they are bored with the current exchange of fire."
Fleet deputy commander Raven also quickly guessed the opponent's intention.
"If two light cruisers are used as the spearhead of the assault, it is really not easy for us to handle"
Raven looked at the list on the virtual screen on the right side of his seat, which displayed some current information on each warship in the fleet.
During this period of shooting, neither side achieved any results.
At most, some ships were hit by multiple heavy particle cannons. The external armor plate was still overheated under the protection of the deflection field.
Now these warships have maneuvered to the sides and rear of friendly warships. After completing the memory metal reorganization of heat dissipation and layered armor, they will return to the fighting position.
However, if the opponent really closes the fighting distance, the increase in the accuracy of the main gun firing will put increasing pressure on each warship.
Especially when the salvo of the light cruiser's main gun can cause a fatal blow to a frigate or an old destroyer.
“But we have an advantage in the number of ships, and shortening the distance is not entirely a bad thing for us.”
After Antonio thought for a moment, he opened a virtual tactical layout board , and began to plan the fleet's next move.
Just as he spoke, a beam of light struck from a distance and swept across an asteroid near the battleship. The heavy metal ion jet ablated a scorch mark on the asteroid and also blasted it. A large number of red-burned fragments came out.
The explosion in the distance was silent, but the 'dong-dong' sound of these fragments hitting the ship's side armor plate still struck the hearts of the crew like countless hammers.
Scenes like this have been happening since the battle began.
The originally dense asteroid belt was torn apart by a large number of smaller fragments under the attack of the main guns missed by the warships on both sides, making the battlefield environment begin to become even worse.
At the same time, Antonio also completed his bold and radical tactical plan.
After seeing this version of the tactical plan, Raven was stunned for a moment, and then laughed the next second.
“As expected of you.”
He had heard of Antonio's reputation, or his boldness and radicalism were quite famous among the civilian fleet commanders. The tactical plan was quickly transmitted to each warship of the combined fleet through blue-green laser communication.
The battleship captains at Mary Bay Industrial also smiled knowingly after seeing the tactical plan.
While the Timler family fleet continued to approach, the combined fleets of Mary Bay and Yaoguang also quickly completed their formation changes.
It is said that it is a change of formation, but in fact it has shrunk back from the initial artillery formation and turned into a relatively compact assault formation.
The flagship Fortune Liberty took the lead and rushed to the front of the assault formation.
In the current fleet battle, especially in small-scale battles, it is relatively common for the highest-level flagship to rush to the front.
Because their deflection fields are more powerful and their armor plates are thicker, they can withstand enemy fire for a longer period of time.
After all, the assault spearhead is a very important position. If a warship is randomly placed here, and it is destroyed by a concentrated fire, in extreme cases, the warships in the rear will even crash into their wreckage, directly Affects the composition of the formation.
"The straight-line distance is 6,000 kilometers! The relative speed is 80 kilometers per second!" The tactical information coordinator loudly announced the key information, and everyone on the bridge and CIC became more nervous.
"Attention, the entire fleet, prepare for the second round of formation changes according to the tactical plan, and the HCP squadron is ready to attack! Everyone, the success or failure of this operation depends on this!"
In Antonio's order spread throughout the fleet , the most nervous person is not the other captains or the HCP pilots who are about to be dispatched.
But the helmsman of every battleship.
In the latest tactical plan, their operation is the most critical step.
"The straight-line distance is 4,000 kilometers! The interaction is expected to take 49.5 seconds!"
When the tactical information coordination officers of each ship reported key information again, the helmsmen of each warship began operations according to the next tasks of each warship.
The combined fleet, which was originally 'crowded', suddenly split into two groups and distanced themselves on both sides, as if they encountered a falling rock in the water.
At the same time, with the help of the vector nozzles of each ship, the battleship began to adjust the axis of the battleship while keeping the course normal along a small arc.
The crew members in each battleship quickly felt that the battleship they were in began to turn sharply.
Since each battleship also adjusted its course simultaneously while adjusting the axis, everyone stopped what they were doing.
They were either pressed firmly into their seats, or they buckled the safety ropes and grabbed all the handles around them that could fix themselves, fighting against the sudden G-force.
The advancing Timler family fleet only saw the enemy fleet directly in front of them, which was originally going to be a 'just opponent', suddenly divided into two smaller fleets.
While maneuvering towards the two wings of the Timler family fleet, he also adjusted the axis of the battleship to aim the beam of the main gun at them who were stuck on the center line!
As time passed rapidly, Ron Schneider, who felt bad, had to make a difficult decision in the next ten seconds.
That is the direction of the Timler family fleet.
Combat distances within 4,000 kilometers are considered to have entered the range of 'hand-to-hand combat' in space fleet battles.
Compared with long-distance shooting, hand-to-hand combat can also determine the outcome faster.
Because both sides will not only use full firepower, but also release their respective HCP squadrons and assault cabins full of marines, pounce on the rear hemisphere of the enemy warship like a school of piranhas.
In fierce hand-to-hand combat, the chaotic battlefield conditions will not only reduce the defense and control efficiency of each ship, but also drive the air defense commanders of each warship crazy.
While the two fleets in the asteroid belt were engaging in hand-to-hand combat, the battleships of the Atlas fleet located in the zenith direction of the "Northern Hemisphere" of the battlefield also lit up their main propulsion arrays.
Prior to this, Amber had completed his pre-war speech to the entire fleet.
The relatively humorous words also allowed the crew members who participated in the fleet battle for the first time to disperse the tension in their hearts.
In Gnaku, Amber, who had already boarded the landline, connected the communications between the two HCP squadrons. Looking at the 16 avatars that lit up on the screen throughout the week, he said:
< br>"Macho men, remember your usual training content, trust your respective teammates, act according to the established tactical plan, don't be reckless, don't rush in"
As he spoke, the equipment rack also slowly opened, This one, called the 'Red Devil' by Atlas pilots, took the lead towards the lifting platform.
"One last word for everyone"
Amber thought of the legendary pilot in another time and space, and then said with a smile:
"While you are waiting, the God of Death is I won’t find you”
