Thirty years ago, when Hastings stood on a bleak battlefield like blood at sunset, leaving the world with a thin and majestic back, and a famous quote that is enshrined as a sacred text by the contemporary military.In order to avoid being dragged down by a strategically impossible war, the Binalt Empire reluctantly and humiliatingly signed the alliance under the city.On behalf of the combat troops who laid down their arms, it was Sober's father who bent down and bowed his head to sign the instrument of surrender.The pattern of the human world has settled after a short but violent collision.Over the past 30 years, the Republic of Fiyan has been outstanding, and the warships with the flag of the Fijian allies have crisscrossed the seas and flaunted their might.At that time, Sober was just a teenager.As depicted in many novels, in order to regain the honor of his family, in order to avenge his depressed father, in order to defeat the enemies of that empire, the genius boy became a soldier and climbed up step by step.Thirty years ago, no one thought that this teenager was qualified or had a chance to fight Hastings.Twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, no one believed that Sobor would face Hastings.Thirty years is not a long time.Peace seems to have just begun.Although the two camps are always in tension over the Supreme United Council of Mankind, no one does not believe that anyone dares to go to war.Especially the Fijian people.When they drove the starship full of cargo and saw the Feiyang warships proudly passing through the interstellar waterway, everyone even once the Filipino Alliance would be strong forever, and this peace would continue until the end of the universe.However, the war broke out.From the Great Patriotic War of the Southeastern Leray Federation, all at once it turned into a world war.From that moment on, everyone understood that there must be a battle between Sobo and Hastings!
No one could say for sure what day it would be, though.Nor can anyone know what the world will be like when that day comes!
Time passes.The day that was out of reach in people's eyes became this day.On this day, fireworks suddenly exploded in the universe!
On the left flank, in front of the black [Deimos] star, the Phantom Fleet Patrol Cluster and the oncoming Xiyo Patrol Cluster were like two blooming Manshu Sawa flowers, and at the same time, thousands of petals suddenly stretched out in the air.It was a beautiful and spectacular sight that dazzled everyone.Although people have imagined the magnificent scene of this moment countless times, the unbridled imagination has collapsed in the face of reality."
It's art!"
Lieutenant General Macchia looked at the Skynet screen in a daze.In the telesight lens in front of him, a Philian cruiser was holding its ship high and pulling out an arc of blue taillight.Because there is no close comparison of references, from the lens, it seems to be frozen in the void of the universe together with the bright stars and colorful nebulae in the distance.Next to this cruiser was another identical cruiser, the Filan cruiser.The same tall ship, the same curved tail trajectory, the only difference is the direction of progress.Two cruisers, left and right separated.The trajectory of the ion jet stream, which was originally very close, is like the spark of fireworks, which is getting farther and farther apart.In the endless void of the universe, they are so small, so slow.However, when the television lens suddenly zoomed out, countless identical tiny warships overshadowed the entire starry sky with beautiful and dazzling arc streamers!
This is the first time Hastings and Sauber have met.Two of the most outstanding and talented military strategists in the human world finally stood on their respective command seats, and collided together in this chaotic era filled with gunsmoke and artillery fire!"
Wonderful!
Unbelievable!
”Fujii Tsuyoshi looked at the Skynet screen with the same obsessive eyes, his hands clutching the railing of the command platform because of nervousness and excitement, and the green tendons on the back of his hands skyrocketed, "This is the real [wolf pack] tactic!"
The most basic and simple wolf pack tactics we learned in school about space fleet command!
Compared with the command skills of His Excellency the Marshal, the patterns and rules of the war examples in the textbooks are simply bullshit!
”As talented generals trained by the Lane military, Machia and Fujii Tsuyoshi are both high-achieving students from orthodox military academies.They are naturally familiar with the basic tactics of fleet command such as [Wolf Pack].This tactic originated more than 300 years ago.At that time, the space fleet battle, precisely because of the improvement of the warship degree and defense, from a long-range salvo to a close-range strangulation exhibition of the driving group.This tactic also came into being.Its main tactical idea is to use scattered and interrelated movement routes to seize attack positions and destroy the enemy's overall formation when driving patrol groups to engage in battle.So as to achieve the purpose of suppressing, cutting, and annihilating the opponent.Because the fleet will disperse to different airspace when performing this tactic, it will take on different tasks such as deterring, harassing, main attack, and feint.When attacking, it is one wave after another, attacking in groups, similar to the way wolves fight when they kill large prey, so this tactic is vividly named "wolf pack" tactics.In the eyes of most officers, there is nothing unusual about wolf pack tactics.Many people even believe that the use of wolf pack tactics in battle is a very tasteless thing.Although these low-level tactics, which were born 300 years ago and studied in the lower grades of military academies, have evolved and supplemented over the years, they cannot be compared with those high-level compound tactics that require extremely high tactical cultivation to learn and use.On its body, it will always be labeled as popular tactics, basic subjects, and so on.In actual combat application, the commanders only ordered the implementation of wolf pack tactics when the fleet had an absolute advantage and was too lazy to bother.After such an order is given, they usually do not command again.Instead, let the commanders of the fleet under their command wield their own wielding.After all, this tactic is just a few moves back and forth, but it is just a group attack, biting the opponent, tearing up the formation, seizing the attack position and firing wantonly......
Not to mention fleet commanders and captains, even if it is a low-level staff officer, they can master it proficiently.But today, the wolf pack tactics in the hands of Hastings have completely subverted their concepts!
If the wolf pack tactics in the textbook are just a dull and rudimentary puppet, then Hastings's command has made this puppet completely come to life.Macchia and Fujii Tsuyoshi and other Filipino Alliance generals could clearly see from the Skynet screen that when the five double-headed Eagle A-class fleets commanded by Lecht were bypassing [Debos], the fleet was still in a standard group formation.The distance between the driving patrol group in front and the main formation of battleships in the rear was no more than 500 kilometers.The front and back steps are coordinated and uniform.It looked like a parade of troops marching through the square.This is not surprising.The Phantom Fleet assembled by Hastings, as the family force of the god of war, was in some ways even more well-trained than the Falcon fleet of the Feiyang military.Not only are its warships strictly in accordance with the configuration of the double-headed eagle fleet, but even the soldiers in it are experienced veterans who have retired from the double-headed eagle fleet.Subtle, it's change!
As Hastings pointed out the coordinates on the tactical computer, the Filipino fleet that suddenly exploded like fireworks scattered.The route and angle of each battleship sailed happened to be the closest attack position to itself, and it was also the most uncomfortable place for the oncoming Western fleet.It's like a pack of hungry wolves hunting bison, seizing the attack position next to the prey in an instant, taking a pose, opening the bloody mouth, ready to attack the shoulder blades, abdomen, tail, neck, back......
No one stood in front of the bison to meet its sharp horns.Five A-class fleets, a total of 600 destroyer patrol ships, that is, sixty destroyer patrol formations!
With so many formations, it is unimaginable for ordinary people to complete such a tactical action at the same moment and with the same perfect line angle.Ordinary commander, capable of commanding up to twenty formations at once.And to want such a 100% perfect completion rate is even more fantastic.That's the command technique.A simple wolf pack tactic, when it comes to Hastings, turns decay into magic, and it is a lore in the face!
Whether it was Macchia, Tsuyoshi Fujii or other Fijian generals, there was no doubt at this moment.If it was against Hastings who was playing against him, he would have lost the qualification to win without fighting to advance to the next stage!
However, Hastings' opponent is Sauber.The only military genius recognized by the human world as qualified to challenge Hastings, at this moment, chose the same tactics.The nine A-class fleets of the West Covenant, one thousand and eighty destroyer battleships, and one hundred and eight destroyer patrol formations exploded, bloomed, and spread almost at the same time as the Ghost fleet's destroyer group!
Although not every one of these fleets is perfectly positioned.However, judging from the scene, Sobo lived up to his prestige.Not only did he give the coordinates of more than 100 patrol formations at the same time, but also as many as 90 of them were perfectly aligned!
What a horrible command skill?!
Although the total number of patrol formations commanded by Hastings was only sixty, the 100% perfect movement showed that the old man still had a higher strength.However, Sober's performance still made the Filipino Alliance generals present feel a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts.If, before today, many people still thought that Lever was Sober's opponent, then when this scene appeared in front of them, everyone was only glad that the Filipino League still had Hastings.Even Tsuyoshi Fujii, who admires Li Buddha the most, is no exception!
It's a blessing in fear.No one dared to imagine that when the Filipino League lost Hastings, who would be able to stop Sobour's pace!
In the void, two fireworks that suddenly exploded bloomed into thousands of sparks, intertwined with each other.With the simultaneous salvo of battleships behind him, the huge white light cluster suddenly formed a vertical and horizontal light network, swimming, entanglement, artillery fire, and annihilation.In the past 30 years, this flower of fate and hatred has bloomed in the southeast starry sky......
