Solar system, asteroid belt.
At this moment, more than 30,000 warships of the First and Fourth Fleets are advancing rapidly among them.
"Commander Liang, with our current strength, it is not difficult to defeat Adams' nearly 50,000 warships. What is difficult is how to control our losses to a minimum!"
"According to analysis, what we are facing this time is likely to be a group of desperadoes. They will not detour, will not retreat, and will not worry about casualties. For such an army, any psychological tactics will be ineffective."
"Therefore, how to win with minimal losses without using psychological tactics to build fleet tactics is our biggest issue today!"
In the bridge of the Ouranos, Lin Fanzheng and Liang Xingchen held a video strategy conference.
It is indeed not difficult for the Federation to defeat Adams' fleet. After all, there are more than 6,000 new warships in the First and Fourth Fleets. These are warships equipped with energy shields and have extremely powerful firepower!
But the opponent is very likely to be a fleet that does not care about casualties or even unnecessary life and death. It can be regarded as a death squad to a large extent.
Maybe in war, death squads are not uncommon, but who has seen the number of death squads even more than the total number of their own troops
At this point, the suicide squad is no longer a suicide squad, but a sharp knife hanging over the head of one's own commander. If he is not careful, he will be devoured cleanly by the opponent.
If we don't take precautions against this, I'm sorry, but even if we win, the casualties will be huge.
"Lin Fan, you are right. Do you have any ideas?"
"Well, actually it's not a creative tactic, it's just an ordinary beheading operation!"
"Oh? Tell me."
"Okay, my idea is"
At the same time, 5.5 AU away from the Federation fleet, the third fleet of the Oaks Empire Guards.
"Commander, how are we going to fight?"
"How to fight? A life-threatening way, a rogue way!"
"Commander, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, no matter what Liang Xingchen does, we can only use one word, reckless!"
After finishing speaking, Adams looked at his adjutant and found that he looked confused.
Also, to be honest, any commander in the empire would not be able to understand this style of play in his mind.
But what kind of fleet does he have in his hands now? It is a fleet that is not afraid of losses, will not retreat, and is even more fearless of death!
So what was originally an impossible style of play has now become a reality!
"You don't understand, do you? Let me give you an example!"
"Fighting in this asteroid belt is nothing more than this routine, hide-search-seize-attack!"
"Hiding means hiding your fleet as much as possible from the enemy! Then comes search, which means finding the enemy's position while hiding yourself! Then there is seizing, which simply means targeting the enemy's position or route. Seize the most advantageous attack position first! Attack in the end!"
"This is the most correct tactical application in a place like the asteroid belt. To put it more simply, it is to find ways to win with minimal casualties!"
"However, what is our situation now? We now have a total of 48,000 death battleships! What does this mean? It means that we can break all conventions and play cards without following the routine!"
"You want to ambush me, right? Okay, I'll let you ambush me! Wherever you ambush me, I'll head straight for you! You want to ambush me from multiple directions, right? That's no problem, I'll arrange a small fleet I will turn to stop you, and I will shoot down the battleships for you, while my large force will rush directly towards one of the ambush directions. I will kill you first! Even if I lose 20,000 battleships just to kill you, I don’t care!"
"This is what I call a life-threatening style of play, a rogue style of play!"
Now the adjutant finally understood. The commander was treating all 48,000 warships as death squads, not caring about his own casualties, just to annihilate the enemy!
Why were the tactics used by humans successful in the past few times
Not all of them use a lot of psychological warfare. Fleet commanders take casualties into consideration. Once they take casualties into consideration, they will find ways to avoid casualties. And when you avoid casualties as the human commander hopes, you will be fooled.
After all, this is the intention of the opponent's commander. You have already determined how you will prepare to avoid casualties to the greatest extent. But when you follow human wishes, failure will come.
Let's just talk about the first and second asteroid belt wars. No matter which one they were, if Adams had the absolute consciousness he has today, the Federation would have been gone long ago.
In human terms, bare feet are not afraid of those wearing shoes. However, when the person wearing shoes also takes off his shoes, it is hard to say who wins and who loses in the end.
One day later, the asteroid belt area 039.
It's an empty area with few asteroids.
"Commander, a group of human battleships were discovered ahead, totaling 25,000 ships, and Liang Xingchen's flagship was scanned!"
"Huh? No other enemies were found in the surrounding airspace?"
"No, the area we are in is an open area, there is no possibility of hiding a warship!"
"Then the entire fleet will press forward and capture him! As long as we capture Liang Xingchen, we will capture half of the human federation!"
"yes!"
After a while, a total of 48,000 warships formed a cone formation and rushed towards the human fleet with murderous intent.
At this time, a full 2 AU away from the battlefield, nearly 7,000 warships were quietly moored here. It was the Uranos and the 6,700 new warships deployed by the two fleets!
"The cone formation. To be honest, 48,000 desperate warships forming this formation are quite scary. They are full of attack power, but at the same time they also abandon the defense behind them!"
"It should be the open area that makes Adams think there is no need to defend his back!"
"Well, you are right, but there is another aspect, that is, Adams did not think about going back alive, win or die! So he will not waste his troops to consolidate the rear, but will use all his troops on the conical forward !”
In the Ouranos, Lin Fan and Liang Xue were watching the battlefield information sent back by Liang Xingchen in real time.
It can be seen from the tactical picture that the cone formation formed by Adams was an incomplete formation with only a forward. A total of 43,000 warships formed a cone, while Adams' flagship only brought 5,000 warships in the middle of the cone, completely exposed to The rear of the cone array!
"It's time for us to take action, lock in the best raid coordinates, distribute them to the fleet, and start the entire fleet's jump engine!"
"Understood. The coordinates have been distributed and the jump engines of the entire fleet have been started!"
"Leap!"
"yes!"
