Chapter 468 Changing homes?
Although in most scenes, the ‘house-changing’ tactic is full of a very ‘harmonious’ style, it seems difficult to relate it to a cruel and serious war.
But in the history of human warfare throughout the ages, the tactic of 'changing homes' is actually not uncommon, but the war history materials do not directly use the loose description of 'changing homes'.
The real-life 'swap' tactic is not a literal exchange of homes, but refers to using some method to force the enemy to change its strategic deployment, or to gain a greater strategic advantage by sacrificing local interests. .
In actual military operations, these tactics usually involve complex military decision-making and strategic planning.
In reality, the most common "change of tactics" tactic refers to forcing the enemy to change its strategic direction by attacking its important targets.
In other words, the 'home' in 'Home Change' does not necessarily refer to the enemy's capital or hometown, but can also refer to an important target of the enemy on the battlefield.
The people in Atlas’ ‘Command Observation Group’ naturally knew the true meaning of ‘changing homes’, so they all started to think carefully about the star map.
After seeing their actions, Amber also smiled and said: "Just take this opportunity, you can try to put yourself into the role of the commander of the imperial fleet, think about what if you are attacked by many After a point attack, how can we reverse the passive situation by 'changing homes'?"
"The main reason is that we don't know how much the Imperial Fleet knows about the Federation's fleet deployment and movements," Cliffs replied. Dao: "The enemy intelligence that can be obtained will also affect the judgment and selection of 'important targets' to a large extent."
After hearing his answer, Randall and several other humans and Roma who were promoted from the combat fleet for commander training also nodded involuntarily.
However, Guterres, who had been staring at the star map without speaking, denied Cliffs' words after a moment.
"The Imperial Fleet does not need to make a choice, because Marshal Trafalgar has already made the choice for them."
Guterres activated the virtual control next to his seat panel, and then marked two locations on the star map with asterisks - these are the systems where the two mobile fortresses of the Federation Navy are deployed.
“No matter whether the Federation Navy launches multiple attacks in several directions, the defensive forces on the rear front will be limited. Therefore, even if the commander of the Imperial Fleet guesses the general deployment of the Federation Fleet, the most valuable The 'important targets' are still these two mobile fortresses."
The explanation of the former Federal Navy Vice Admiral instantly made others suddenly realize. Although the expression on Amber's face did not change much, she still felt a little happy in her heart.
This captured Vice Admiral may seem like a no-brainer because he was overthrown by the Atlas Battle Fleet, but in fact he is absolutely excellent in macro-strategy and basic naval combat skills. of.
So he can actually play the role of a 'mentor' to help train Cliffs and the others, and it is more than enough.
On the other side, Cliffs and others also understood Trafalgar's intention.
The two mobile fortresses deployed without concealment, in addition to being placed on the card table as "clear cards", are also the only option he gives the imperial fleet to implement the "switching home" tactic.
What's more, the four Dukes on the front line of the Empire have always regarded the Federation's mobile fortress as an important strategic target of the other side.
Although senior officers of the Imperial Navy often refer to the Federation's mobile fortresses as 'rudimentary replicas full of flaws', they would not hesitate to knock down these two mobile fortresses if they had the opportunity. So do it.
After all, this thing can provide some support to the Federation Navy fleet. Even if the officers of the Imperial Navy will despise these two 'imitations', in any case, 'no' is better than 'yes' good.
——
While the people in Atlas' Command Observation Group were rehearsing the battle between the Federation and the Empire in the virtual space, as the first stage of the battle The 'protagonists' - three federal naval battle groups also started taking action.
The light from extremely distant stars, after being processed by the shipboard control personality, passed through the panoramic portholes of the bridge of the Intrepid with a relatively soft brightness, and shone on the face of Federal Navy Marshal Trafalgar. He stared at the universe outside the panoramic porthole window. In front of him was a vast starry sky, dotted with countless stars, like an exquisite picture.
But in fact, those 'stars' are just generated by the shipboard controller's personality on the panoramic portholes. Otherwise, everyone on the ship would face pitch darkness every day, and almost nothing would be visible. The invisible background of the universe is still prone to psychological problems.
"Marshal, all ships are in position. According to the latest news just transmitted from the reconnaissance ship, the imperial fleet docked in the target star port has just begun departure operations."
Bridge , Admiral Carroll's voice broke the silence.
"It seems that the imperial fleet has finally begun to move. I don't know if they are preparing to gather their troops to attack the 'target' I have placed in front of them, but it is still a little late anyway."
Marshal Trafalgar showed an expression of 'everything is under control' on his face, and then ordered:
"The battle group is preparing to make a collective jump based on the coordinates obtained through early reconnaissance!
After arriving at the target area, the 1st, 2nd and 4th fleets launched artillery formations and fired salvos, while the 3rd and 6th fleets launched pincer attacks from the left and right hemispheres. The specific attack path was determined by the fleet commander himself
This time! The first priority in the battle is to destroy the effective strength of the imperial fleet. If the battle goes well, then consider attacking the star port!
Long-distance reconnaissance ships deployed in nearby galaxies always pay attention to the movements of the imperial fleet in the galaxy where they are located! "
"Yes! marshal! ”
As Trafalgar’s order was issued, the ‘Kraken’ battle group quietly lurking behind the dust cloud began to move.
This area of space was filled with The stardust seems to be a natural barrier, and its interior is filled with various dust and gases, which have strong absorption and interference effects on electromagnetic waves, making it impossible for both parties to use traditional radar and optical means for detection.
< br>The three battle groups launched by the Federation this time all used similar 'natural bunkers' or planets to hide their positions and prevent their directions from being detected by the long-range radar array on the Imperial Navy's starport.
But this is also a dangerous approach, which is a great test for the fleet's distance control.
If the distance is far, this dust cloud may not be able to obscure the figures of multiple fleets in the battle group, but if the distance is close, it is easy to rush into the dust cloud and be harmed.
After all, the jump engine on the ship needs to reach a certain relative speed between the ship and the 'jump coordinate' before it can be activated, so the entire fleet is equivalent to ramming directly into the nebula in front.
If there is an error in distance control, and the fleet crashes into this area filled with large amounts of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases at extremely high speeds, no one knows what will happen - but it is absolutely impossible. It can't be a good thing.
"Warp engine started."
The voices of the onboard control personalities on each battleship sounded almost simultaneously.
The next moment, the battleship that had completed basic acceleration was about to crash into the nebula and disappeared in the white light of the hyperspace being torn apart.
