Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1348: Cutting off the retreat route, Ilxia defensive operation (6)

The trouble with war lies not only in the military but also in diplomacy.

It looks like the two countries are fighting, but in fact, they are just a group of people watching the show.

Of course, if you get involved and join the team, and everyone joins in the fun, that would be another matter.

The Red Maple Republic took the initiative to launch a sneak attack without any proper reason. Simply put, it had no righteous cause.

They are very passive in diplomacy, condemned by many countries and added to the embargo list.

But more small countries actually want to have the best of both worlds.

After all, now the number one and number two on the Star Group Union list are fighting each other, and the small country can only express its opinion and wait for customers to come.

Yes, many countries sell supplies at both ends.

The Storm Kingdom sells supplies, which is actually somewhat related to the Swan.

Anyone who knows a little about the design features of the Star Cluster United Battleships will recognize at a glance that the Swan is a ship of the Storm Kingdom, not to mention that it is equipped with a Light Lance main gun unique to the Storm Kingdom. This is not an export version at all, but a model for domestic use.

The Red Maple Republic can use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Storm Kingdom. Your warships appear on the battlefield. Are you planning to sell arms to the Xuanshui Federation?
Even if the Storm Kingdom explained, it would not be in the right, so he simply sold both ends so that neither side would have anything to say.

In fact, the Rotating Water Federation also ordered magic mechas from the Storm Kingdom, and was even discussing moving the production line and the entire set of processes directly away, but the goods from the Rotating Water Federation had to wait until production capacity was increased.

The goods that the Red Maple Republic wanted were directly taken from the army, and the ready-made goods were taken away.

The number is not particularly large. After all, the Storm Kingdom is a small country, and it has only recently started to replace its equipment. It does not have a stockpile of tens of thousands like space fighters.

But these magical mechas from the Storm Kingdom caused considerable trouble to the pilots of the Whirlpool Federation.

The main reason is that I have never seen it.

The paper performance of the magic mecha is not much higher than that of the space fighter. A simple data comparison will not produce a crushing effect. However, once it enters actual combat, the combat efficiency and characteristics of the magic mecha will give space fighter pilots who are not familiar with it a lot of headaches.

Since there are no missiles, the style of air combat here is very primitive.

For example, two space fighters fly towards each other, firing as they fly. When the distance is too close and they feel they might be hit, they turn immediately, and then the two space fighters will start a dogfight in circles.

The technical details all focus on which direction to go, whether to step on the accelerator, whether the angle is appropriate, whether your body can withstand the G-force, and who can find the enemy's weakness first.

Of course, the actual combat situation will be more complicated, and it is often like a train running, with both sides biting each other's 6 points.

This is why Li Chengxi can defeat space fighters when driving a shuttle. He never circles around with others and is good at using high speed and accurate shooting to take advantage of the one-hit-and-escape tactics.

Circling dogfights are not only written in the tactical manuals of aviation schools, but when pilots see the enemy, their instinctive reaction is to circle and bring the enemy plane into their aiming crosshairs.

But the magic mecha won't play tricks on you.

The mass transfer system and attitude control nozzles allow the magic mecha to turn easily, with a turning radius of almost 0. It doesn't even need to turn around completely. It can just turn sideways, reach out, raise the weapon in its hand, aim and shoot. At this time, the space fighter is still turning around stupidly, completely unaware that it has exposed its vulnerable back.

It can be said that unless space fighters have the ability to make sharp turns like lionfish, they will be completely defeated by magic mechas in the most important attribute of turning radius, and they prefer dogfights. As a result, when the second wave of aircraft groups got into a melee, the fighters of the Swirl Water Federation were scattered all over the ground like fallen leaves, and they couldn't even be picked up.

However, everyone had brains, and after paying a heavy price, they finally realized the difference in driving magic mechas and space fighters, and the pilots of the Rotating Water Federation also began to think of ways to counter.

It is not advisable to circle around the magic mecha, so how about trying a sneak attack?

The pilots soon discovered that there was a blind spot below these magic mechas, or more precisely, at the lower rear, roughly where the thighs and buttocks were.

In fact, it is not a blind spot. The magic mecha has a 360° display that allows you to see all the surrounding scenery.

The problem lies with the Red Maple Republic drivers, who are also novices.

When people are in a gravity environment, they use the ground as a reference, allowing them to distinguish up, down, left, and right.

When flying a space fighter, you sit in the cockpit and your reference point is the floor. Although you may experience dizziness and confusion, you can overcome it through training.

But it is not the case when driving a magic mecha. Because of the Zhoutian display, you will feel like you are really floating in the void, not to mention that this thing uses a motion capture operation mode, which causes many people to feel dizzy when they go into the void for the first time.

Take Hall for example. She felt dizzy when she first attacked with the Silver Tornado. However, she was an experienced pilot who had experienced many battles and had undergone adaptive training, so she was able to adapt slowly.

If it were an ordinary person, let alone fighting, he would choke to death if he vomited in the cockpit.

Therefore, novice pilots in the Maple Republic are advised not to look at their feet as much as possible to avoid dizziness.

Because of this, the rear is a weak point.

The three-plane formation of the Xuanshui Federation began to counter the magic mecha by luring it with one person and attacking it from below with the other two.

Some results were indeed achieved, but firstly, the weakness was discovered too late, and secondly, it meant that one magic mecha required three space fighters to deal with it. The intercepting force of the Whirlpool Federation, which was not at an advantage in numbers to begin with, soon collapsed again.

The second line of defense was almost about to collapse.

The third wave of aircraft that set out from the fortress and aircraft carrier did not even have time to form a complete third defense network, while the third wave of aircraft from the Red Maple Republic was already approaching.

Under this situation, even if there are anti-aircraft guns on the fortress, the Red Maple Republic can still open a way for the armed transport ships to approach in a short period of time. Once they get close, it will be a close combat inside the fortress.

So, how to solve this problem?

"Inform our friendly forces to follow my route. The entire fleet is moving at full speed. We must destroy the enemy aircraft carriers and cruisers that have jumped over."

The Red Maple Republic's fleet did perform outstandingly, but that was only an appearance.

The real key lies in the mobile aircraft carriers in the rear. If you only think about how to defend the fleet, you will be fooled and it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

As long as we destroy the mobile aircraft carrier in the rear, no matter how powerful the fleet is, it will be like a child without a mother, and our space fighters can attack continuously from the fortress.

Although Alyssa had never attended a single day of fleet command courses, her battlefield awareness was indeed good and she grasped the key points immediately.
