Half an hour later, when the last Oaks Empire warship was sunk, the entire battlefield calmed down.
"Order the support fleet to leave one fleet to clean the battlefield and rescue all our fighters who may survive. The remaining 31 fleets will follow our fleet to area 016."
"yes!"
After returning to the Ouranos, Lin Fan and Liang Xue instantly resumed their roles as commanders and adjutants.
"In addition, after the fleet sets off, let the commanders of those 31 fleets hold a video conference with me."
"Yes, I will inform you right away."
Ten minutes later, Lin Fan left a fleet behind to carry out battlefield cleaning and rescue work, and set off towards Area 016 with the other 31 fleets.
"Everyone, I am the commander of Task Force 101, Lin Fan!"
"This time, according to Commander Liang's order, we will temporarily command the 32 fleets here to fight. During this period, I hope everyone can obey my order. Are there any problems?"
"No!"
After all, Lin Fan has a very good reputation in the Fourth Fleet, and the 31 commanders here are all commanders of small fleets. The highest ranking officer is a major general like Lin Fan, so there is no complaint.
"Okay, since the next battle is very dangerous, if you make the wrong move, you will lose everything, so everyone must listen carefully. I will start talking about tactics now!"
Ten minutes later, thirty-one commanders all looked at Lin Fan in shock.
So it turns out that you and Commander Liang were in cahoots? No wonder Commander Liang formed a strange mutually depleting and lose-lose formation with his opponent in the 016 area.
When everyone saw the battle report from the main battlefield before, they couldn't believe how Commander Liang could fight like this. He was simply an amateur.
Emotions, are you two digging a hole for the Oaks Empire
But was this tactic devised by the commander or by Lin Fan
It doesn't feel like the commander's tactical style. Could it be Lin Fan? If it is really him, this guy has a bright future and will probably surpass Commander Liang, the Federation's military god in the future.
"Okay, everyone, get ready. We will arrive at the battlefield in about an hour and 30 minutes!"
"yes!"
At the same time, in Area 016, the Fourth Fleet and the Oaks Empire's vanguard fleet had been fighting fiercely for four full hours.
Because the four fleets on both sides are all in the shape of a snake, they form a circle together.
Therefore, only the snake head of each fleet can attack the snake tail of the previous fleet. It can be said that the number of warships that can participate in the attack at the same time is less than 10% of all warships.
It is precisely because of this that after a full 4 hours of fierce fighting, the losses of both sides were not great, each losing about 2,000 warships.
If normal development continues, the Federation's fourth fleet will be completely wiped out, while the Oaks Empire's vanguard fleet will still have about 13,000 ships left.
At this time, Cody was a little confused, was this really Liang Xingchen
But after thinking for a long time, I couldn't see any flaws. After all, with this formation, whoever leaves the circle first will completely expose his side to the fleet behind him, and suffer a devastating blow. As long as he doesn't run around and maintains this formation, he will definitely win.
Cody gritted his teeth and never thought about it again. They just continued to consume each other until Liang Xingchen was completely consumed.
However, at this moment, Liang Xingchen received a message that reassured him.
[Liang Xue has been rescued, Duolun and Wood have been killed, the support fleet is on the way and can arrive at the battlefield in 1 hour and 30 minutes!]
"Lin Fan really did not disappoint me!"
"Commander, what did you say?"
Jiang Hai seemed to have heard what Liang Xingchen said and quickly asked.
"It's nothing. Let the soldiers hold on a little longer. The winner will be decided in two hours at most!"
What? Jiang Hai was a little confused after hearing this. Commander, I don’t study well, so don’t lie to me.
In this situation, it will take at least another 30 hours of fighting to determine the outcome, and it will result in our total annihilation.
But the commander said that the winner will be determined in 2 hours? Am I really so bad that I still haven’t figured out the mystery after a few hours
Jiang Hai almost doubted his life.
The time came after an hour and a half.
On the Ouranos, Lin Fan was talking to the other 31 commanders in the bridge.
"All fleets will proceed according to the numbers I gave them before, so that it is convenient for me to command!"
"clear!"
Previously, Lin Fan directly renamed these 31 fleets 1-31 Fleet to facilitate command.
"Okay, Fleet 1-16 will go to the left side of the Four Snakes' Tail Biting Formation and attack from the side of the fleet as it passes by. Fleet 17-31 plus Task Force 101 will go to the right side of the Four Snakes' Tail Biting Formation and also attack from the side. Flank attack from passing enemy fleet."
"yes!"
"Okay, let us see later, whether the commander of the Oaks Empire will continue to maintain the four-snake tail-biting formation, allowing us to continuously attack its flanks, or decide to break away from the four-snake tail-biting formation and expose the flank of the fleet to the third The main force of the four fleets, no matter how they choose, victory will belong to us, all fleets start taking action!"
"yes!"
The entire fleet was immediately divided into two, with 16 small fleets and more than 2,000 warships on each side, respectively setting their targets on the left and right sides of the four snakes' tail-biting formation in front.
"Report, 2 human fleets were discovered, each with approximately 2,400 warships."
"Huh? Nearly 5,000 warships? Where are they?"
"Report, one team's route is on the left side of the battlefield, and the other team's route is on the right side of the battlefield!"
"What is this for? In the current state, what can nearly 5,000 warships do?"
"Commander, the opponent has arrived at the periphery of our battlefield. They are facing the battlefield and forming a semi-encirclement!"
"Huh? Not good? Why didn't I think of this? Now we are in a state of biting each other's tails, and no one can get out of the formation first. And now the two human fleets are outside this circle. Every once in a while, We are bound to pass in front of one of the fleets, thus exposing our sides to the two reinforcement fleets."
"Commander, shall we try to get out of this mutually depleting formation as quickly as possible with some losses?"
"No, if we break away, the side will be directly exposed to the Fourth Fleet, and the losses will be even greater!"
Cody was a little panicked, because he simulated the results of escaping and not escaping in various ways, and finally found that no matter whether he seceded or not, the remaining 25,000 battleships would end up being completely destroyed. The difference Just earlier and later!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Fourth Fleet was completely different.
"Commander, that's it, I finally understand! No wonder the commander said that the winner can be determined in 2 hours."
"Haha, the whole tactic was designed by Lin Fan. Please inform the entire fleet. Once you find that the opponent is about to break away from the Four Snakes Tail Biting Formation, immediately grab its side and hit it hard. If the opponent shows no signs of breaking away, we will continue. In this way, the head of the snake bites the tail, and the task of attacking from the side will be left to Lin Fan!"
"yes!"
