Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 571 Special Operations
First of all, Taylor had to admit that the spearhead tactics created by the Primarch Horus were so useful.

Sometimes I really feel that a good set of tactical templates can really be used for a lifetime, and I use them tirelessly and tirelessly.
Of course, Horus, once the greatest strategist, abused those things as if his head was kicked after he realized the reliability of the spearpoint tactics.

After all, this tactic is indeed useful. As long as you ensure that the quality of the troops in your hands is sufficient, just like polishing the tip of a spear, this tactic will be invincible.

The fewer the better.

The basis of the spearhead tactics is to sneak in and strike quickly, so as to calculate how much combat power they need.

It now seems that 20 battleships and one Imperial planetary engine are really a bit of a burden, and the most important thing is the behemoth "Long Live the Empire".

First of all, it is much slower than other battleships. Even though it is much faster than planetary battleships of the same level and has the assistance of subspace engines, it is still not as fast as normal battleships.

In other words, it is impossible for it to be the first echelon of the breakthrough. Although it is the fastest and most powerful, it has to be a defender.

After all, every second counts in today's situation, so the vanguard should be the Glorious Queen-class Imperial Truth and the highly modified Damocles.

The two ships are evenly matched in armament and firepower, but the smaller Damocles-class strategic cruiser offers greater maneuverability, while the Imperial Glorious Queen-class battleship offers superior defense.

However, the two ships can move in unison, acting as the sharpest tip of the spear.

They would penetrate into the enemy's heart, deliver the most deadly attack, and then kill the enemy quickly.

Then came the cloud-based defense array, consisting of Imperial cruisers and Dark Angels' strike battle barges.

They are like spear blades, widening the wound after the spear tip breaks through the enemy's defense, allowing the entire army to be trapped in it.

It is the most deadly and sharp backbone force.

In the end, the Empire Eternal Year is the tail of the spear, tearing apart the remaining enemies and then surviving as the biggest tactical goal.

When the "spear tip" was completely forged, Ryan's troops also figured out the situation.

First of all, they are about 60 million kilometers away from the Eye of Terror, but for warships, this is not too exaggerated. After all, their circumference is several kilometers on average.

After calculation, they only need to sail for about twelve hours to reach their destination, which can be said to be quite close to the goal.

The enemy's defense area is approximately within the last few thousand kilometers, forming a dense defense network.

The scouts quickly discovered a number of reliable areas where, if nothing unexpected happened, they could quickly penetrate with a small number of troops.

But obviously this situation is not right, because there are too many loopholes. Even if Chaos has to deploy its troops outward due to Guilliman's pressure, it is impossible to leave so many loose gaps.

This is a trap to confuse others. If you rush in blindly, you will be caught in a trap. Obviously, this is what will happen when facing an inexperienced commander.

But for Ryan and Taylor, this is Sima Zhao's intention and everyone knows it.

Taylor quickly determined the enemy's real weak area, which was a defensive area surrounded by several void engines. It could even be said that it looked quite difficult to break through.

But Abaddon would definitely hide his strengths and attack the weak, placing his trump cards in those areas without cover, and this place only had two Void Fortresses.

Those things are not large in scale, about the same size as the standard fortress of the Imperial Navy, and it is estimated that 6 warships can break through.

If the Glorious Queen-class and the Damocles were included, their spearheads would be more than enough to pierce this thin layer of armor. With this in mind, the operation soon began.

However, Taylor actually had no confidence. After all, his usual wars required a large number of complete material transportation routes to meet his needs, and fast break tactics were not his forte.

To be honest, he is probably a very despicable guy. If he can't beat someone, he will defend himself. While defending, he has to eat to restore his strength.

Taylor would only punch the opponent in the face when he was too eager to hit you to reach the supplies and his strength was weakened.

But now he has no supplies, no endless logistics and troops available, only a life-threatening battle plan.

This is quite inconsistent with his war aesthetics, or his defensive counterattack combat strategy.

But when the ship approached the expected combat area, they had no choice but to attack quickly and fiercely.

Two gigantic fortresses painted in the Black Legion's paint scheme are now waiting in the void. Due to their enormous size, they carry better reconnaissance equipment than ordinary ships, and there may also be Chaos wizards performing divination for them.

Under the principle of taking both physics and faith and making both strong, it seems that they now have to find a way to carry out beyond-visual-range attacks.

Although there is no resistance or gravity in the void to cause the power consumption of the artillery shells, in theory, its heat and power can be almost completely retained from the beginning of the shot to the end.

But the biggest problem is actually how to hit the target. They inferred that the shooting distance outside the effective field of view would be extended to tens of thousands of kilometers.

In such a situation, even the best gunners would find it difficult to hit the target, not to mention that a large number of shells would be needed to destroy its core area.

Finally, it was the Titanium engineers who came up with a solution, which was to use a torpedo equipped with a small artificial intelligence to accurately guide and lock it.

In this way, accurate tactical strikes can indeed be carried out at long distances, and preparing a dozen dark matter torpedoes in this way will either kill or injure the enemy.

Taylor quickly approved the plan, and the use of artificial intelligence was changed to prayer.

The Emperor can use his power to induce locks.

However, such idealistic nonsense is just to deceive the people below. In fact, for senior executives like Ryan, they are very clear about the true situation of the plan.

For the Primarch, the means are irrelevant as long as he can win.

When dozens of heavy torpedoes loaded with dark matter flew towards the enemy, the fortresses were still unaware of it.

After about two hours, a long and bright dark matter explosion shaved off several hundred meters of material from above.

People couldn't help but marvel at how they managed to destroy one naval war fortress and half-destroy another in an instant without any losses.

Such an achievement was the first in the empire's military history.

Probably the only time.

In this way, even Ryan had to think about whether the heretical alien technology could be used to a certain extent...
