As for the other commanders of the Pacquiao Pirates, which account for 15% of the total strength of the coalition forces, they are doing similar things, but everyone remembers their own detailed plans.
The same is generally true of the other four five elders and the commanders of other participating pirate regiments.
Although everyone was arrogant in their mouths, their bodies were very honest, and they were full of energy.
……
Two hours passed, and the pockets began to draw in the net.
With the media engine of the Broken Fleet fully activated, the unprepared Chifeng Second Expeditionary Force finally sensed the lurking danger and began to respond.
Many warships of the Second Expeditionary Army began to adjust their speeds individually, gradually converging from the original long snake array into a conical cone, and instead of slowing down, they began to accelerate collectively, as if to forcibly rush forward.
In space travel, it is not so easy to turn the entire fleet around. Rather than forcefully turning around and stalling, it is better to continue to rush forward. There may be a chance of survival.
This is a routine reaction, unremarkable, but it is within the expectations of the coalition forces.
Almost at the same time, hundreds of thousands of large warships began to read the data support provided by the powerful military radar, and inertially locked the warships of the Red Front Fleet.
The moment the inertial lock was completed, one after another super-yield information flow jamming bombs detonated in space one after another, trying to interrupt the reverse lock of the Red Front Fleet.
Afterwards, one after another long-range missiles with different performances produced or purchased by many pirate forces were launched one after another, and went straight to the Chifeng Fleet in the distance.
However, Fording's staff department exclaimed, "Jamming failed! The opponent's radar performance is extremely strong, using our missile to lock on for a short time to complete the reverse lock, and the missile has been launched! The overall lock accuracy exceeds 80%!"
Fording's face remained unchanged, "All ships released full-featured jamming bombs, and adjusted the reflected harmonic frequency to the third frequency band. All ships moved laterally for ten kilometers. The formation of the frontal interception fleet continued to thicken."
But on the Chifeng Fleet, because the current source of interference is only at the level of information flow, the ships here can still use silicon chip computers, and because the distance between the ships is relatively close, the radio communication is still smooth.
Ying Zhenshan has already ordered the change of formation again at a very fast speed. First, let the [-] medium-sized warships hidden behind the formation and ten large-scale warships use their mobility to further speed up and go to the front. On the one hand, it is to intercept the opponent's long-range missiles On the other hand, it is to prepare for the next assault attack.
"The fortress returns to the interior of the formation, opens the launch chamber, and releases small interference devices and detection devices to the outside. Half an hour later, the large anti-gravity force field is activated, adjusted to the maximum power, and the fleet formation is fully covered to resist slipping missiles as much as possible."
After giving this order, Ying Zhenshan thought in his heart that the opponent's first round of blows could never be only positive.
What happened next was not beyond his expectation. Half an hour later, the large gravitational force field released by the fifty fortresses really intercepted the missiles that swept from six directions like dense rainstorm.
Fortunately, the Chifeng Fleet was well prepared, and there were almost no casualties.
On the other hand, the missiles launched by the Red Front Fleet showed amazing self-seeking and guidance capabilities at the end. More than 30% of the missiles avoided the influence of the jamming bombs and re-locked on the enemy, destroying thousands of enemy ships.
Nearly 2 minutes later, one after another explosions of light were seen twinkling like stars in front of the Red Front Fleet.
The first round of probing by the two sides actually made a small profit with the Chifeng Fleet that hastily confronted each other.
But everyone knows that this is just the beginning.
But Ying Zhenshan was not discouraged, he knew very well where the real chance of winning this battle was.
Only Ren Zhong can play the might of the most powerful man in the empire.
That's right, even though the Chifeng clansmen are still just ordinary people on the frontier, after reading Ren Zhong's information, these professional commanders, including Ying Zhenshan, have firmly believed that Ren Zhong is the real number one in the empire. By.
Chapter 532 Disrupted the plan from the very beginning ([-])
Although a small profit was made in the first round of trials, the disadvantage of the Chifeng fleet has not been reversed, and the strength of the two sides is still completely unequal.
The distance got closer, and the Chifeng Fleet finally used conventional radar to gradually see the situation of ambushes in all directions.
The number is vast and overwhelming.
I also saw the intercepting formation that was as thick as a space shield directly in front of me.
Obviously, the other party fully calculated his decision, knew that he would try to break through head-on, and was waiting for him to throw himself into the trap.
Not only that, it was clear that the opponent was a motley crew, but the formation was tight and tactical.
Its distribution method is very reasonable, it is difficult to be broken through head-on, but it will not be taken away by a wave of weapons of mass destruction because it is too dense.
"Fortunately, the marshal put the earl at the forefront from the very beginning. Even if he couldn't break through the formation, he could at least deal a painful blow and retreat safely."
In the General Staff Headquarters, some staff members thought so in their hearts.
But Ying Zhenshan didn't look at the situation ahead at all. He just kept observing the enemy battle formations identified by the radar in his heart, and tried to use his brain to speculate on the opponent's combat ideas and specific plans. The data given by the brain chip are compared with each other.
At this moment, there was a slight tremor inside the ship, and then Ying Zhenshan's adjutant told him that the source of the shock just now was an ultra-high-energy electromagnetic martyrdom not far away, which caused Most electronic devices that do not use a heavy lead shield will fail completely.
Although there are backup systems inside each ship, according to Ying Zhenshan's order, these things must continue to be hidden in the heavy lead protective layer for the time being, so the Chifeng fleet will be like "primitives" in space in the next period of time Generally, they fight on their own, relying on tacit understanding to act.
The control of the ship has also been converted to manual operation. People control the operation of various equipment on the battleship. For example, to operate the steering, it becomes a manual twisting of the joystick, and then continuously amplifies the torque in the form of hydraulic transmission, and then drives the medium injection engine. Change direction to form rudder effect.The gravitational engine has completely failed.
As for the communication between different ships, it has not been completely disconnected, but has been restored to the extremely primitive method of using laser flashes to search for photos, and then humans will interpret the codes to form complete sentences.The means of coding comes from the "creation" of Ren Zhong, which is Morse code.
The situation on the side of the Red Front Fleet is not very good. They were immediately beaten back to the "primitive era". The situation on the side of the pirate coalition is not much better. .The well-made ships of the Red Front Fleet were severely damaged, and the rough-made ships of the Pirate Alliance were no better.
However, the two sides did not mess up because of this, Gein each had its own plan.
The Red Front Fleet is well-trained, and it does not rely on artificial intelligence assistance. Whether it is the commander-in-chief, the commander of the squadron, or even the captains of small and medium-sized ships, they are all well-trained and can rely on laser communication. The small amount of information brought by the provided Morse code, and the spontaneous cooperation of the naked eye observation of the telescope.
Of course, the commanders of the pirate coalition forces did not have this ability, but the commanders at all levels there did not need to make impromptu decisions at all, they only needed to take actions step by step according to their respective detailed plans.For example, when to move to what direction, where to launch what weapons, when and where to send small combat hopping ships, and other details are planned.
Fording has no doubts about the performance of the military command system. It doesn't matter how strategic the opposing commander is, it doesn't make sense to face an absolutely overwhelming force gap.
Subsequent developments proved the reliability of the military chain of command.
Fording is very clear that the fighters of Chifeng star have mastered a non-technical communication technology, which is about some primitive long and short code communication mechanisms, so the communication ability will not be completely cut off by the electromagnetic explosion.
But I also have a similar method on my side. Uncle Nanxiang has already arranged it. The only problem is that the low-level pirate fighters are not very smart. Even after assault training, the proficiency in communication decoding is not very high. It took a long time, and it still failed to meet the most basic imperial regular army standards, but it was still adequate.
The military command system took into account the above situation and accurately predicted the countermeasures of the Red Front Fleet. Therefore, Fording Pacquiao did not need to issue any orders at all, and the coalition fleet was already in place on time, and began to continuously compress the formation to gradually improve One's own firepower advantage within a certain range.
When the gathering reached a certain level, the main battleships in the pirate coalition began to transmit the diffuse jet barrage missiles to the predetermined direction one after another, just in time for the heavy firepower of the oncoming Red Front Fleet - ultra-high-speed, super-large-yield compressed three-phase drastic missiles It was detonated in advance.
Looking at the dazzling "big fireworks" in front of him, Fording subconsciously said to Gruen next to him: "The fusion explosion technology mastered by the Chifeng tribe is indeed superior. Under the same volume, the fusion bomb explosion lethality of the Chifeng tribe is ours. The bombs made are seven times more powerful, and we will lose a lot if they are shot in."
Gruen also did not deny the strength of Chifeng Star, but he just curled his lips and said, "It's meaningless, as you can see, the interceptor bombs given to us by the Earl very accurately restrained the opponent's trump card. Wait for two more rounds, and they There's no stock left."
"Yes, but you can't take it lightly." Fording nodded, "They can't empty the inventory in one go, and they will continue to hold it in their hands, but when they get closer, the Phalanx energy cannon interception system will take effect. "
Gruen: "The next thing we have to guard against are the extremely powerful super-level professionals in Chifeng Star, right?"
Fording; "Yes, but our top individual soldiers have been released in advance. Although the quality of Chifeng Star's professionals is very high, we are a coalition army after all, with a huge population base. In terms of high-level individual combat power , we still have an absolute advantage.”
While the two were talking, Gruen turned his eyes to the battlefield situation map that his own side used the optical equipment to return instantly, and said, "In half an hour, the death squad of the other side will approach the intercepting fleet. No problem, right?" ?”
Fording's eyes also drifted to the situation map, but he nodded confidently, "Of course there will be no problem. With the thickness of our battle formation, even if the size of this death squad is enlarged ten times, it will only be submerged. "
"That's good."
At this time, the large armed warship where Ren Zhong was located had turned into the arrow of a frontal formation composed of ten large ships and fifty thousand medium ships.
There are dozens of strong light generators constantly flashing above the surface of his armed battleship, sending out detailed encrypted commands one after another using Morse code as the carrier.
The detachment fleet surrounding him is constantly fine-tuning its direction according to his orders, warming up its weapons, and launching small missiles and a large number of medium-range energy weapons to the outside world from time to time, intercepting the oncoming missiles in advance, and laying a solid foundation for the rear. The denser formation of one's own fleet reduces the pressure.
After a while, the size of the trapped camp's fleet began to expand rapidly.
This is the beginning of large warships and medium-sized warships releasing all the carrier-based combat aircraft.
After these aircraft flew out, they began to spread rapidly like smoke and dust, turning into a cloud of dense fog in space, further accelerating forward.
This change did not exceed the expectations of the pirate coalition forces. The ships in front of the coalition forces' interception formation immediately gave up the kinetic energy missiles specially used to attack medium and large ships based on intelligence feedback, and instead energized the self-seeking smoke bombs, and quickly emission.
Five minutes later, a new round of missile rain and the "dense fog" of combat aircraft that came out more and more began to collide head-on.
After the smoke and dust generated by the collision dissipated, the combat aircraft disappeared one after another, replaced by a large number of smaller individual fighters that suddenly appeared in space.
The two sides have already approached this distance, and even a single fighter can basically appear in front of the enemy with a fully charged battery.
Those destroyed carrier-based combat aircraft are simply reinforced decoys, functioning as individual soldier droppers, and it doesn't matter if they are destroyed.
Looking at the Chifeng Army soldiers who were speeding up again and getting closer, Gruen secretly looked sideways. He didn't expect that these grassroots soldiers under Uncle Chifeng's command were so brave and fearless, that they dared to kill them with individual fighters. , obviously did not intend to return at all.
Thinking of this, Gruen turned his head nervously to look at Fording next to him. Seeing that Fording looked normal, he was a little relieved.
"Our super-professionals are already at the forefront, and the two sides are about to fight, don't worry."
Seemingly aware of Gruen's unconfident gaze, Fording took the initiative to explain.
Five minutes later, the combat individual arrays of the two sides really collided.
Among them, the number of Chifeng star fighters is about one million, while the number of pirate coalition fighters has reached tens of millions. The ratio of the two sides' strength is indeed ten to one.
But something unexpected happened. The formation formed by millions of Red Front Star fighters was like a sharp sword, piercing through the defensive formation formed by the pirate coalition fighters with ease.
The elite fighters at the forefront can still maintain a strong ability to change directions during high-speed advancement, and their control over weapons is far superior to that of the fighters of the pirate coalition forces.
On average, for every Chifeng soldier killed in battle, at least five fighters from the pirate alliance had to die.
At this time, even Fording had to sigh: "The people under Uncle Chi Feng's tent have a very high degree of training, and their equipment level is much higher than ours. They are the best of the best. Even if the average The energy level index is basically the same, but in a real fight, this exchange ratio is still too amazing. If we didn't have a huge advantage of ten times the force, the result would be different. Fortunately, the scale of the battlefield is large enough, and the advantage of personal ability is weakened Now, if the numbers of the two parties are equal, the most likely exchange ratio is not five to one, but one hundred to one."
Gruen said nervously, "Won't it be pierced through?"
"of course not."
Following the words of the two, the close combat over there will finally be decided in just a few minutes.
The elite fighters of the trapped faction from Chifeng star were quickly reduced to less than 10 people, and it was already difficult to form a large-scale shock formation in space.
The number of pirate coalition fighters has also dropped sharply to about 500 million.
The Chifeng star fighters no longer moved forward blindly, but began to maneuver at will, with the highest goal of quickly killing the enemies around them, as if they were planning to establish an information fulcrum for the fleet that attacked the camp behind them.
The fleet of the trapped camp that was slightly behind did not slow down, and continued to advance.
As for most of the Second Expeditionary Fleet at the rear, under the support of information and shields provided by fifty space fortresses, they are constantly spreading out their formations, as if they want to face the shrinking and suppressing pirate coalition formations.
The operation of the Red Front Expeditionary Army is also within Fording's grasp.
Fording, who is currently idle and doesn't need to issue instructions at all, even has the idea to act as a commentator with Gruen, a distant relative.
He laughed and said: "The purpose of the Red Front Fleet's operation is to maximize the quality advantages of their warships, and at the same time, it is also to prevent mass destruction with starry sky-level large-scale weapons after we are too tight. On the surface, this is The correct idea, but it ignores that when their own formation spreads out, the effect of that large fortress will naturally weaken. Instead, we can use the advantage of our troops to continuously divide the global battlefield into countless small-scale battlefields for division and encirclement , and then surround and annihilate them.”
"Marshal Pacquiao is really thoughtful." Gruen sighed.
Fording shook his head, "It's not that I thought it through, it's that the imperial military's combat command system is powerful. In this large-scale battlefield, the advantage of the empire's super-network brain is too great, and personal strength gradually becomes It's insignificant. You see, if it's just a single-handed fight, those super professionals from Chifeng Star can even kill us one by one. Death. After all, even if the two sides exchange lives one-on-one, we will make a lot of money."
On the other side, Ren Zhong still closed his eyes tightly, lying in his armed battleship as if in a deep sleep, but his mind was completely awake.His consciousness has been completely transferred to the crystal nucleus array superbrain of this special warship, and a large amount of information is passing through one after another bionic nerve chain tightly protected by heavy lead, sending the information captured by the many sensors on the battleship to the his thinking.
"Looking" at the soldiers who were constantly dying in battle ahead, Ren Zhong couldn't tell how sad he felt.
He just felt ridiculous and helpless.
This is obviously an interstellar era, and it is also an interstellar war, but the combat thinking and the changes in the situation after the fight are generally the same as the tank arrays of the former Soviet Union's t34 tanks attacking the Third Reich in the first half of the [-]th century. It is so boring to set up a battle on the huge plain and then charge forward.
Not only that, the tactical thinking may not even be as good as the original World War I and World War II.
Chapter 533 Disrupted the plan from the very beginning ([-])
In World War I and World War II, there were terrain, weather, logistical supplies and so on.
Urban warfare is also very different from field warfare.
Even air combat that looks simple and pure will also present a diversified situation due to differences in radar scanning surface, missile performance, cannon use skills, direction changing skills, and pilots' anti-acceleration physique.As for the many complex tactical thinking brought about by more detailed techniques such as flying at low altitude to avoid radar lock by using ground fluctuations, changing the flight attitude to change the radar reflection area, etc., there is no need to say more.
Many generals of that period were always able to rely on command and lead a small number of soldiers to deal with enemies that were several times or even ten times larger than themselves, using the terrain to the extreme, and taking advantage of the enemy's mentality of beating workers who were greedy for life and fear of death. The support and help of the masses have been developed to the extreme.
Behind those classic battles, the brilliant wisdom of the stars is often shining, and the light of the unity of the army and the people and the will of the group are completely burst out.
But in space, unless it is in some specific star areas, such as around star c1915, there are relatively complex tactical ideas and room for personal play. In the completely empty space, all those ingenious and ever-changing tactical thinking Without the meaning of existence, the two sides are fighting for the level of technology, morale, and overall strength. The exchange rate changes later, and everything else becomes a side issue.
Too powerful technology has weakened the operating space for man-made tactical changes.
In the interstellar war facing heavy responsibilities, it is really difficult to change the situation by relying on human wisdom and will alone.
Even the will to fight can be realized by technology.
For example, the fighters of Red Front Star are fearless of death out of faith, but the fighters of the pirate coalition army don't need faith at all. They only need an injection to activate their bloodthirsty desire in their subconscious, and they can fight to the last drop of blood .
In terms of level, of course, the level of active consciousness of the Chifeng star fighters is higher, but in terms of actual effect, the two sides are quite similar, and it is impossible to say who is more advanced than the other.
"Why can't it be like in other sci-fi, throwing a regular-level weapon out will destroy the galaxy and blow up a large area of the universe into a void?"
Ren Zhong muttered to himself to vent his regret.
But he quickly got the answer himself.
The human beings in the ancient disk galaxy have never grasped the true meaning of the universe - the grand unified formula, which does not involve rules at all.
Because even the powerful mechanical empire still uses "bringing doctrine", and they still know what it is for a lot of esoteric knowledge and don't know why, as long as it is easy to use, who cares why.
