On the day of the Harvest Festival of the Republic, Tan Yan ordered a raid on the opponent's camp.
On the march, Wu Qiao heard from Renshen that Admiral Tan Yan had the chance to win, and he was very leisurely before departure, not worried about the upcoming war at all.
"...Huh?" Wu Qiao knew in his heart that Tan Yan was quite worried about this counterattack.
"That's it." Renshen said, "Everyone in the restaurant said that Admiral Tan Yan would read the newspaper in the lounge when he got up in the morning, and comment on some social news, and then he had breakfast in the restaurant. He seemed to have added another egg, put down the knife and fork after eating, wiped his mouth with a napkin elegantly, then raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said very calmly: It’s time to go.”
"..." Wu Qiao said in his heart, he must be pretending.
"It's so handsome, Admiral Tan Yan." Ren Shen looked yearning, "I can only say, so handsome."
Wu Qiao: "..."
Pretending to be confident, this approach is indeed in line with Tan Yan's very casual personality. Admiral Sean can't pretend, because Sean has a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the attack time is all in the whole minute, exactly, and he always looks very nervous.
Before entering the defensive range of the Republic, Tan Yan ordered the seventh, eighth, ninth, and fourteenth fleets to outflank the target, quickly circle to the enemy's rear, and form a formation against the first six fleets as the main force. The situation of encirclement cuts off the opponent's retreat, intending to catch everyone in one go.
"We must send a signal to let the people of the Republic understand the price to be paid for occupying the empire's territory." Tan Yan told the whole army, "It is definitely not my style to just drive the enemy out of the border. We must win thoroughly so that later People are afraid. Let everyone know that those who step into this land will have a dead end in the future."
Wu Qiao commanded the Seventh Fleet.
According to the general's order, he secretly detoured to the rear, waiting for the official order to attack.
Several of their troops need a clearer formation, so as to ensure that no gaps are exposed and the Republic Army is not given any chance to escape.
After everything was arranged, Tan Yan issued an encirclement order.
Wu Qiao commanded the fleet to advance rapidly.
"Encirclement!" Wu Qiao shouted, making his fleet cooperate closely with the Eighth Fleet.
The formation of the left-wing formation composed of the two fleets changed from vertical to horizontal, and the tail of the fleet swung to the middle, connecting with the tail of the right-wing formation composed of the Ninth and Tenth Fleets, slowly closing like the two doors of hell, and finally Fasten the door lock and seal the enemy in the camp without leaving a gap.
As soon as the siege was over, Tan Yan ordered the first shot to be fired!
A red signal bomb rose into the sky, and in an instant, the bombs poured down from the universe, like a goddess scattering flowers, and many bombing targets were blown into the sky in an instant.
The fire of vengeance burns on the earth, and it intensifies, as if to consume everything in sight.
This planet has a cold climate and is covered with snow all year round. At this time, flames are churning in the white world, and the snow is reflected in orange red by the fire, which looks very strange.
The Republic Army obviously did not expect the Empire to be attacked suddenly!
For several months, all actions on the empire's side were defense, and the latest fortifications were constantly being built.
Now, before the project was finished, it was typed out without warning? !
No matter how you think about it, it's not right!
Because they thought there was no war to fight, the people of the Republic were very lazy. Once this kind of slack is developed, it is absolutely impossible to recover in an instant. They often hang out in bars and strike up conversations with imperial women in the occupied area. Their lives seem to be on vacation, and they don't even know that the scythe of death has quietly waved around them.
And this day is a traditional festival, the military atmosphere has become more lazy, the restaurant has prepared a sumptuous meal, and everyone wants to celebrate the festival happily.
This is when the army of the Republic is at its most vulnerable.
For a moment, the soldiers of the Republic looked at the flying shrapnel and the flames soaring into the sky, and then looked up at the dark ships covering everything, completely at a loss.
A full minute later, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles in the occupied territory of the Republic made a sharp sound of piercing the air, and a string of missiles flew into the air, bursting into the air like gorgeous fireworks.
At the same time, a large number of warships launched into the sky in an attempt to intercept the Imperial Army's troops.
However, in haste, the intercepting forces failed to complete their mission, and the Imperial Army relied on organized attacks to retreat them. The imperial army is condescending and occupies a great advantage. It is very difficult for the intercepting warships to rise to a stable stage.
As for the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles of the Republic, they did not come in handy either. Their entire function was to provide exciting noises for the victory of the Imperial Army like firecrackers used to celebrate grand occasions.
The Republic was completely suppressed.
The empire's fire net was impenetrable, and many warships of the Republic were shot in a short while.
However, of course they will not sit still, staying here and being surrounded by the imperial army from all sides is simply sending them to death.
You must rush out of the encirclement immediately...
The commander of the Republic observed the situation and immediately decided to use Wuqiao as a breakthrough point!
Compared with the front, the number of enemies on the back side is significantly less. Visually, there are six fleets on the front, and there are only four fleets used to encircle the other three sides.
This commander is also one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Republic. He is short and slender, but his energy seems to never run out. His eyes are always full of fierce light. No matter who sees him, he will feel a chill in his heart. He is called the "Wolf of the Universe".
Wu Qiao soon discovered that the opponent was focusing on his own side, trying to break through a gap.
"Everyone is strictly on guard, and no negligence is allowed!" Wu Qiao yelled, "You know, the strength of an iron chain depends on its weakest link. As long as one person is careless, the others' previous efforts will be wasted." This is somewhat similar to a team game. A single mistake will send the whole team to hell.
"Sir," after persisting for a while, Renshen connected Wu Qiao's communication, "The enemy is charging too hard, and the defense is a bit reluctant!"
"..." Wu Qiao could also see that his firepower was not as good as the opponent's. In order to be able to rush out, the other party was completely red-eyed.
"They keep rushing wave after wave! If this continues, they will be broken sooner or later!"
"..." Wu Qiao thought for a while and said, "Change the formation."
"Ok?"
"We play a T-shaped formation."
Wu Qiao remembered clearly that this was a formation that Tan Yan used when playing more with less. At that time, he couldn't understand it. Tan Yan even explained it for himself. At that time, he thought that Tan Yan was really a genius.
Since the firepower is not enough to suppress the opponent, then turn all the battleships sideways! Each battleship can only fire two to four shells at the same time when facing the enemy head-on, while the side of the battleship is equipped with twenty to forty cannons! When the enemies are arranged very closely, this kind of bombardment is more able to hit the opponent. The disadvantage of this is that the exposed area of the battleship is too large, and it is easy to be hit by the enemy, so at that time Tan Yan arranged the other battleships in the rear row to line up and hide behind, so as to reduce the loss rate of the battleships in the rear row. When a battleship in the front row is defeated, the battleship in the back row quickly steps forward to make up for it.
Wu Qiao connected the other two brigadier generals and gave specific instructions to his subordinates.
After listening to Wu Qiao's explanation, Renshen suddenly realized: "Yes, this will increase the firepower and repel the enemy's mad attack!"
The Republic was also caught off guard by Wu Qiao's change of formation.
Wuqiao's firepower increased several times at once, and the Republic Army retreated several hundred meters in an instant.
They reorganized and continued to rush forward.
The "Cosmic Wolf" used a tactic, which was to keep attacking the same place, so that the imperial army's rear battleships had no time to fill up. However, he is not really so rigid. Sometimes he will suddenly change the impact landing point, so that the imperial army's rear battleships dare not prepare in advance, for fear that the enemy will not be able to return in time after suddenly changing the impact landing point, and the formation will be chaotic. Being bombarded by the enemy during meaningless movement, the cover meaning of the T-shaped formation is lost.
"What should I do?" There were fine beads of sweat on Renshen's forehead, "The replacement seats in the back row can't keep up!"
"..." Wu Qiao thought for a few seconds, and then immediately issued an order, "The target battleship under intensive attack should change from horizontal to vertical. When the concentrated fire attack disappears, it will immediately change back to horizontal. In addition, the entire ship will be damaged by 50% Report immediately when the above or when a major component is hit, do not wait until the escape, the alternate warships pass by in advance. If there are more than 50% of the damage in a certain area at the same time, change the first row into a double row, and the second row Go ahead and hide behind a row, so that you can quickly fill the space without revealing the gap."
"yes."
The change stopped the shock. The damage of the attacked battleship is slowed down, and the speed of filling the rear row is greatly accelerated.
The Republic failed to break out of the encirclement at the beginning, and as time went on, the number of people became smaller and smaller, and it was basically hopeless to escape successfully.
"Unless they also turn the warship sideways..." Ren Shen said.
"It's impossible for them to turn the battleship across." Wu Qiao replied flatly, "They are being surrounded from all sides, and the T-shaped formation will expose all targets to us, and they are aiming to break through. It is better to use heavy firepower when space is limited. Forcibly bombarded."
"Yes," Renshin smiled, "I've already thought of these two points."
Although it was a blitzkrieg, in fact, the battle lasted all day.
The Republic lost more than half.
The "Cosmic Wolf" knew that it was impossible to successfully break through with the remaining troops, so it gradually shrunk its formation and slowly returned to the camp.
"Let's take a break too." Tan Yan said, "Reload the bomb and beat them to surrender."
"Yes." His fleet was almost out of ammunition, and it really needed to be reloaded.
"Have you clarified the location of the temporary camp?" Tan Yan asked again.
"Yeah." Wu Qiao said with certainty, "I've already figured it out."
Although it was time to rest and reload, Wuqiao's four fleets would not return to the main force, because if their four fleets left, the Republic's garrison troops might retreat immediately. Therefore, Wuqiao and their temporary camps are still in the rear, there are two in total, forming a triangle with the main force, still enclosing the Republic Army inside. Wu Qiao and the others had two main tasks: one was to prevent the Republic Army from retreating, and the other was to intercept enemy reinforcements.
During the break, Tan Yan requested to communicate with Wu Qiao.
"Admiral?"
"How's the makeshift camp?"
"Very good." Wu Qiao smiled, "The sand is rich and soft."
"Chosen on purpose."
"Well, I can see it." This planet is full of sand dunes. Although it is not convenient to rest your feet, it is a very good choice from a strategic point of view. If the Republic Army wants to retreat, it is likely to raid this camp, open the gap and leave quickly. Therefore, Tan Yan chose this place. The power of the bomb falling in the sand will be dozens of times weaker, and it will be difficult to be successfully raided.
After finishing the business, Tan Yan chatted a few more words.
Tan Yan said: "I went to ask Sean, his allowance is a bit more than mine, but it's not much more."
Wu Qiao: "..."
Tan Yan seems to have been brooding about the fact that he said he was too poor...
After a few seconds, Tan Yan asked again: "Does Yajiu have any complaints about me?"
"Complain?" Wu Qiao froze for a moment, "No... what did you do to him?"
"It's nothing." Tan Yan frowned, "I told him not to touch Longyuan all the time. Its hands are made of metal, and it always touches Longyuan's body. I'm afraid it will leave scratches."
Wu Qiao: "..." Metal rubbing against metal is indeed easy to leave scratches, and Tan Yan is right. Thinking about that voice, Wu Qiao couldn't hold back, and trembled all over.
Tan Yan over there said again: "So it may be dissatisfied with me."
"Not really..." Wu Qiao thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something, "Well, I finally understand..."
"Finally understand what?"
"Crow Nine suddenly said yesterday that it would go back to buy a pair of gloves..."
"..."
"I said that it may not be possible to find something it can wear, so it can be customized, and I asked me to spend money on it. Is it because of this?"
In order not to touch Longyuan
Tan Yan: "..."
Finally, Tan Yan said: "That's right..."
"..." The general's "that's right" was very fake, it was pretending to mention it after a long time of deliberation.
"I want to give you something."
"Give me something?" Wu Qiao was a little surprised. We are at war now, what can we have
Then, Wu Qiao saw Tan Yan send him a video.
"...?" Wu Qiao clicked on the video and found... This is the route of his side detected by the radar in the battle just now.
Wu Qiao asked in confusion, "Did you post the wrong video? This is the route we took just now."
He felt that what Tan Yan wanted to send should be something else, but he sent the work document to himself by mistake.
"There is no mistake," Tan Yan said, "You continue to read."
"… Oh."
Wu Qiao could only continue to watch in bewilderment.
Everything is so familiar...
His Seventh Fleet and Eighth Fleet outflanked from the left, while the Ninth and Tenth Fleets outflanked from the right... Then, the two sides traveled a small semi-circle respectively, and finally converged in the middle of the enemy's rear. Compared with the straight line formation, the arc formation is more convenient to support each other, because more comrades of one's own side can see the target.
"..." Wu Qiao saw that the formation... was heart-shaped.
"Did you see it?" Tan Yan said tenderly, "I gave it to you, do you like it?"
"..."
"Using ten fleets consisting of 100,000 people to draw a heart shape, this kind of move is definitely unprecedented and will never be seen again."
"...It's not for me." Wu Qiao smiled, "It was meant to be encircled."
"It was specially given to you." Tan Yan said again, "It was originally in the shape of a peach, without the pointed one below. I pulled out a few warships in the middle of the main force, and then pulled out a pointed one."
"..." Wu Qiao asked, "Do the captains of those warships know why they were pulled out a little?"
Tan Yan said, "Obviously I don't know."
The voice is very righteous.
Wu Qiao: "..."
Those captains might think that this is some kind of clever new formation... Maybe they are wondering what the admiral's purpose is at this moment.
If they knew that the admiral looked like a middle school girl, his mouth would all be O-shaped...
