The atmosphere at the scene certainly became more solemn and tense. All the officers and soldiers in the fortresses and bases in the entire galaxy entered combat positions within the next five minutes. As for the fleet members, they were all in their respective positions within fifteen minutes.
During this process, Yu Lian and Sylvester hardly issued any orders. However, the officers and soldiers did not wait for instructions like primary school students, but directly entered the standard interception operation process.
Yu Lian just watched the automatic sentry guns at the forefront begin to show off their power. The 1,200 automatic turrets of the A-1 array blasted out beams far denser than heavy rain at the missiles that entered their range. High-temperature and high-energy energy projectiles detonated.
When the warhead hit the target, it immediately ignited a gorgeous and dazzling white light in the air.
This should only mean that everyone has done a very good job in combat preparations, and can at least score 90 points. In short, the same sentence remains, Admiral Sylvester, it depends on whether you are high or low...
"I know you are thanking me with your eyes again, but that's enough." The old senior said helplessly: "Brother, such an overwhelming battle looks like fire suppression before a general attack!"
Textbook-like judgment. This is the advantage and disadvantage of academic generals.
"We must look at the battlefield from a higher dimension, sir. I always stick to this judgment. If the enemy wants to attack in a general attack, all the main forces will definitely move together. Since only one Titan was moved, it may be suppressed by fire.
Whether it's a charge or a splitting of troops to outflank, it's all a tentative attack."
And I have already said that even all the imperial fleets on our route may be feints, but you don't believe me.
Just as Yu Lian was about to explain further, he received news that the enemy fleet had really begun to divide its forces.
The Xiaolong led a large number of escort fleets and continued to advance towards the main fortress No. 1, but the speed maintained an unhurried rhythm, just like the beast king pacing and sneaking in the wilderness with a group of minions. But at the same moment, there were also
Some of the Imperial warships began to accelerate, changing from the left wing probe of the Imperial fleet to a protrusion, and then left the fleet headquarters, along the orbit of Planet 7, and began to maneuver at a constant speed in a counterclockwise direction.
"Well, it's such a familiar rhythm." Yu Lian frowned.
"This is how the imperial fleet maneuvered during the last battle." Feifei immediately opened the terminal, and it only took two seconds to bring up the battle situation map of the enemy and ourselves.
Yu Lian nodded slightly: "Indeed. However, during the last battle, we only had three airport platforms and two unmanned fort terminals in this direction. But now, we have built Fortress No. 8 there."
No. 8 can only be regarded as a medium-sized sub-fortress, but it is also equipped with high-power fortress cannons. If the main force of the imperial fleet attacks the No. 1 main fortress, it can also provide artillery cover for the enemy's flanks.
In fact, all the sub-fortresses built by the old senior in Seide can serve this function. They can also form staggered fire cover between each other.
However, at this time, the revolution of the giant planet in the planet's orbit had a certain impact on the artillery firing range of the other fortresses. Perhaps the empire found a loophole that could be exploited.
"Perhaps the enemy is testing on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to see if it is possible to capture the sub-fortresses? They may want to try to see if they can knock out our sub-fortresses one by one before launching a general attack?"
Chief of Staff Mkawa said.
"It makes sense." Yu Lian nodded and thought deeply: "However, I still remember that the person in charge of this maneuver last time was..."
As soon as he made this judgment, he received an immediate analysis and report from an investigative officer.
"The enemy squadron is still accelerating. The marching track can be determined and coincides with Fortress No. 8!"
"The enemy squadron ship type has been determined, 3 battlecruisers, 3 aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, 30 light cruisers. The flagship has been determined, it is...Yu Rabbit!"
"..." Why is it always you?
"He's your old rival." Feifei smiled and said, "He's indeed an old enemy that you admit personally!"
"Okay, he is indeed my old enemy. But, is this guy really so aggressive? Sure enough, a person's fate is really closely related to the changes in history!" Yu Lian had mixed feelings.
Of course, since it was vigorous, it was far from over. Soon, the forward outpost got the latest situation. The three aircraft carriers are all shield and armor-strengthened. To put it bluntly, that is
A ship specially prepared for fortress raids and fleet hopping. The Lexington, which Yu Company first served in the Battle of West End, was like this. However, after modification and expansion of the hangar, it became a standard aircraft carrier.
"So, the empire is preparing to land? Are you going to go straight to the main body as soon as you land?" Admiral Sylvester asked in surprise.
"Yes, going straight to the topic without even having foreplay would be a bit uncharacteristic of the charm." Yu Lian calculated: "The imperial nobles I know are all sanctimonious and nervous, and they shouldn't be so rude."
"I mean, can't this be considered a general attack?" Admiral Sylvester glanced sideways at the other party and found that he was no longer so anxious. He just felt that the other party was so calm, so he would leave it here.
Doesn't it make you look stupid to have a confused heart like an ant on a hot pot?
"Of course it's still a test. Battleships cost money, but marines don't need it. No one knows the empire's behavior in this regard better than me." Yu Lian described the cruel content in an understatement, but then
He added: "However, everything is as expected."
"It's all expected...well, as long as you have an idea." Admiral Sylvester repeated Yu Lian's words, and then he also showed a knowing smile. He should think that Yu Lian was
He smiled so calmly. If he didn't smile, he would definitely lose.
In fact, all of this was indeed expected by Yu Lian...well, in fact, the staff led by Chief of Staff Mkawa and classmate Rozeshi were expected.
When formulating the army's defense plan, Rozes pointed out that fortresses No. 6 to No. 8 formed a triangular layout, which was exactly at an angle to the main fortress. However, they would indeed be affected by the revolution of the giant planet.
The impact will be a lack of cover from other sister cities in a short period of time.
In this process, the empire's assault carrier burns its engines to the extreme and can break through the gravity of the giant planet. It will even start charging with the help of gravity to complete the attack on the fortress.
It is never smart to use naval guns and fortress guns to bombard each other, but as long as the stormtroopers board the space city and turn the space battle into a land battle, everything will be included in the empire's combat rhythm.
Facts have also proved that this attack by the empire is indeed very effective.
At 11:27 pm on April 1, the fleet led by Xiaolong was still taking a leisurely step outside the main gun of Fortress No. 1, and the squadron led by Yutu had already captured
During the gap period of the revolution, they successfully reached within the effective distance of landing. The fleet's hundreds of main guns pierced the outer wall of the cylindrical space building, and the solid fluid metal curtain wall flashed with dazzling firelight.
"Perfect fleet maneuver." Rear Admiral Yeager Soback on the Royal Rabbit heard his temporary partner at the same level praising him through the screen.
"This... is all luck." Soback looked modest.
In fact, he was also very satisfied with the command of this fleet movement, and originally wanted to be proud of it. However, the person who praised him was, after all, Viscount Shameen, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Astral Knights (youth group) - although he has now
No one mentioned this statement anymore, but after all, he was once a genius who made him far-sighted, which made Viscount Soback feel a little flattered for a while.
Of course, his happiness was actually very limited. As an energy conservationist who puts safety first, all proactive offensive tasks would put him in a state of low pressure, and his expression was naturally listless.
...However, we also need to know that whether we are listless or calm does not depend on the objective materialism of our own vision, but on the subjective idealism of others' observation.
Viscount Shameen looked at the expressions of his colleagues and agreed: "Seeing you now, I know that your achievements and reputation today are definitely not a fluke. I may have some experience in brute force, but really
When it comes to the cultivation of one’s mind, I am far inferior to you.”
I always felt that this guy seemed to have a bit of a misunderstanding...but now Soback was too lazy to defend himself.
At this time, the ferocious firepower of the Soback fleet had suppressed a sector of Fortress No. 8. In just ten minutes, the bombardment destroyed at least hundreds of floating turrets and tore a hole in the fluid armor.
The three armored assault carriers also began to move forward, and the coordination between the ships was perfect. Of course, this was actually the credit of the captains, and it was mainly due to the rigorous drills before the battle began.
"Then, I will enter the battlefield first. I hope I can make a difference in the first battle!" Viscount Shameen on the aircraft carrier raised his fist towards Sobek across the screen and knocked on his breastplate. The slightly low-key black coat of arms
The onboard development glowed with a bloody red light.
The so-called "first battle" should refer to the first cooperation after the Marauder Warning and Sweeping Operation in the Extreme Sector after the God of War Festival.
It can be seen that Viscount Shameen, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Knights (youth group), now regards Soback as a comrade of the same level or even slightly higher than himself, and is still looking forward to this battle, but
The latter felt that the other party was expecting too much.
In this way, if the strategy fails, it should still be very depressing to people's mood, right? Although Soback personally feels that as long as there is no mood, there is nothing in this world that can depress the mood. However, after all, he cannot always
Hold others to your own standards.
"Well, let's just let nature take its course, regarding meritorious service. Viscount, after all, we are only conducting a tentative attack. Your Majesty the Marshal did not say that we must capture this fortress."
