Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1376: Encounter in the Zhenguang Galaxy (2)

In a state of war, both veterans and recruits are just fillers.

But just as there are differences between cows and horses, not all filler babies are the same.

The Third and Fifth Fleets of the Xuanshui Federation were famous standing armies before the war. After the war began, they experienced a series of battles and participated in almost all major battles in the counterattack against the Red Maple Republic. Their technical and tactical levels and fighting will were far beyond the reach of the one hundred newly recruited good brothers.

The result was that when the battle started, the Xuanshui Federation had already fired four rounds of salvos, while the Red Maple Republic had not yet formed its formation and its counterattack barrage was sparse.

This is exactly as the intelligence said, their numbers are small and their quality is not high. Even if they are intercepted, it will only be a little trouble and will not pose a threat.

but……

Is it really that easy?
Alyssa also felt that something was not right. Fools in this world are as rare as geniuses, and even fewer can make it to the top.

The Red Maple Republic is well aware of its current predicament. Sending a fleet of new recruits that has not yet formed combat effectiveness to intercept is just a meaningless tactic of adding fuel to the fire. It has little effect except giving the other side heads, and it cannot stop the enemy at all.

The most reasonable strategy should be to exchange space for time, abandon the unimportant star fields near the border between the two countries' territories, and use this time to reorganize and train the crippled fleet.

In fact, this is what the Whirlpool Federation did at the beginning of the war, but it was just passively exchanging space for time.

The territory of the Red Maple Republic is much larger than that of the Xuanshui Federation, and it does not have something like a star gate that can directly threaten the capital. Although the front line has been pushed back, they still have a certain initiative.

In this case, they still sent new soldiers to intercept...

No wonder Alyssa felt something was wrong.

She sent her idea to the Fleet Command through the Fleet Command System, but the Command just replied with a "read".

"The enemy cruiser fleet begins maneuvering."

"Notify the fleet, we are heading to intercept."

The Swan is now the flagship of the Fifth Fleet's cruiser formation. Alyssa is responsible for commanding these more than 100 ships. It is not her turn to intervene in the main fleet's artillery battle, but when the opponent's cruiser formation moves, it is time for her to take the lead.

There was a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, but as I said, fools are as rare as geniuses. The fleet command should have noticed something was wrong and be prepared. Even if something unexpected happened, there should be a corresponding plan.

In short, let’s take care of the things at hand first.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"Main gun hit, enemy cruiser on fire, looking for next target."

"The counterattack barrage is coming!"

"Shield recharge."

As a deep blue shield appeared outside the bridge glass, several ion beams swept across the Swan.

"Tell the aircraft carriers behind us to follow closely, otherwise they won't even have a chance to be court-martialed when we get back. I'm going to kill them myself!"

Just now she said to take care of the current situation first, but not long after the cruise ships of both sides entered the firing range, Alyssa's face turned red with anger.

The cruiser formation is composed of a large number of cruisers and a small number of aircraft carriers. In the previous battle, the Fifth Fleet's aircraft carriers were severely damaged, and many aircraft carriers had to temporarily leave the battle sequence and stay in the space fortress Ilxia to wait for repairs. So Alyssa's command was stuffed with a lot of recruits, and each of them walked slower than an old lady.

This has nothing to do with the performance of the ship. It's simply because the recruits are scared and cowardly.

After all, once the two sides started fighting, naval guns and ion beams came at them like raindrops. The mobile aircraft carrier could not withstand many shells, so its natural first reaction was to slow down and avoid getting too close.

But this is actually wrong. Although the barrage looks dense, the distance between the two sides is actually very far. Unless you are really unlucky, it is extremely difficult to hit them.

Besides, aircraft carriers also have shields. If they are unlucky and get hit by two shells, they won’t die on the spot, unless they are unlucky enough to be targeted by concentrated fire.

As a result, the aircraft carrier formation almost broke away from the cruise ship formation. Once it was really separated and lost the protection of the cruise ship in front, the aircraft carrier would have become a direct target.

It is the same everywhere that new recruits are difficult to lead. The Swan used to be in the cruiser formation, surrounded by veterans. Not to mention that there would be no problems in this normal firefight, even when they were charging into the fortress under the firepower before, everyone knew that it was a life-and-death situation, but no one retreated. The fighting will was not on the same level.

What’s even more infuriating is that the captain of the aircraft carrier in the rear sent a video call, asking whether to launch carrier-based aircraft.

"Let it go! Let it go! Let your mother go! Are you the flagship and am I the flagship? Obey my orders!"

The aircraft carrier is wishful thinking that they can retreat by releasing their carrier-based aircraft, but now they are not yet at the engagement distance of the carrier-based aircraft. What’s the use of releasing them? Will they make the carrier-based aircraft orphans?

The newly added aircraft carrier is of such a character, no wonder Alyssa was so angry that her face turned red.

Suddenly I could understand the Red Maple Republic's fleet commander a little. When their commander saw that his fleet had been hit by four volleys and still hadn't formed a formation, his anger level must have gone through the roof.

Damn, it’s so hard.

The command system of the entire cruise ship fleet was filled with Alyssa's abuse and urging. At least now there was no aircraft carrier captain to ask Alyssa whether to launch carrier-based aircraft, and they could all keep up with the fleet and not be afraid of fighting.

Li Chengxi looked at this scene and felt that it was indeed not easy for Alyssa. Although she was a recycler who had never attended a fleet command course, her combat awareness had been trained long ago. It was indeed unrealistic to expect her to perform like a famous general, but she was much better than these recruits who were dragged onto the battlefield right after leaving the military academy and were afraid to move forward.

Perhaps it was because of this that the Swan was promoted to flagship, which might not be very friendly to Alyssa's cardiovascular system. She scolded the new recruits so much that the veins on her forehead popped out.

The cruise ship formation is the type of ship that is most vulnerable and also suffers the greatest losses. When both sides maintain firing and approaching, as the distance shortens, the accuracy of the naval guns begins to increase significantly and damage begins to gradually appear.

"Reached waypoint!"

An Yun's loud reminder interrupted Alyssa's frantic output. She also stared at the star map and saw that it was indeed in place, so she reported it in the command system:

"All ships sail at one quarter speed, maintain distance and course, all carrier-based aircraft take off!"

Maintaining a certain distance allows carrier-based aircraft to attack effectively, and the fleet is also in a relatively safe range for firing. If you get too close, you will be planning to die together.

The aircraft carrier, which was scolded by Alyssa, was finally pardoned. It immediately slowed down and began to launch carrier-based aircraft.

Then Alyssa received a report of a carrier-based aircraft collision...

These bastards don't even look to see if there are any obstacles in front of them when they launch carrier-based aircraft. Move a little, control your attitude, what are you keeping it for!
Damn, my head hurts.
