1010 Scatter for scatter
The human fleet must protect the assault ships that cannot move, unable to carry out large-scale maneuvers like the Atlanteans, as the Atlanteans gradually approach, the threat of the disintegration beam to the human fleet is increasing, and the ships have extended their levitation shields to resist the decomposition beam while strengthening their own salvo firepower, and engage in a face-to-face confrontation with the enemy.
The cosmic battlefield is changing rapidly, and the enemy ships that can be seen by the eyes may not be in that position, although the firepower of human counterattacks is strong, but in the face of the rapidly changing Atlantis battleship, there are only a few lasers that can really hit the target.
Fighting at a distance of light seconds, it is very difficult to hit a fixed target, let alone a moving target at high speed?
The shape is very unfavorable to the human side, and Ye Fei, who should be in the most anxious, suddenly ordered tepidly: "Remind all ships to activate the magnetic sensor." β
The Atlanteans only had the ability to have short-range faster-than-light for the first time after they obtained the technology of the magnetic engine from humans, but the human understanding of the magnetic engine was much stronger than that of the Atlantis, at least, those big men did not know what a magnetic sensor was until now.
After receiving the order, the fire control officers of each ship woke up like a dream and immediately turned on the magnetic sensors.
As early as the beginning of the war, some experienced fire control officers had turned on the magnetic sensor, but the current fleet is all a new fleet formed after the Outer Bone War, among which veterans who have experienced the Outer Bone War only account for about one-tenth of the total number of officers and soldiers, and the whole army has only a few dozen fire control officers who have fought with the Outer Bone Man.
Including scissors, there were only eight fire control officers in the three fleets commanded by Ye Fei who had experienced the Outer Bone War. The disadvantages of rapid military expansion can be seen here.
When the magnetometer is turned on, all ships that use the magnetic engine project a magnetic signal on the magnetometer.
The magnetic engine is the slowest of the faster-than-light technology mastered by humans, but the magnetic sensor is the only reconnaissance equipment that has the ability to detect beyond the speed of light, and it can judge whether the enemy ship is currently flying faster than light or just out of the speed of light through the slight change in the intensity of the magnetic signal!
There is no need to use the reconnaissance ship for indirect positioning, and the originally difficult aiming is suddenly very easy, but the two sides still have a straight line distance of nearly three light seconds, although the human warship can fire a laser when the Atlantis battleship has just left the speed of light, but when the laser reaches the target position after more than two seconds. The enemy ship essentially went into the next faster-than-light maneuver.
Only a very small number stay paralyzed. The battleship Atlantis, which had been staying for too long, was hit by a laser, and the human fleet fired three salvos in a row, taking out only six enemy ships.
The immobile human fleet, although it has been trying to fight back, is still in a disadvantageous state of being suppressed by the Atlanteans in general. The levitating shield vanished layer by layer as if it had been scraped by an invisible knife in the onslaught of the disintegrating beams.
The Second Fleet, at the forefront, was the focus of the Atlantean fleet's attack. Two battleships were sunk by concentrated fire from enemy troops. Three more ships were heavily damaged, and eleven ships were about to run out of levitating shields.
Fortunately, the decomposition beam can only gradually erode the battleship from the outside to the interior, which gives each ship enough time to escape. Whether it was a sunken battleship or a heavily damaged battleship, there were not many casualties, which can be described as a great blessing in misfortune.
It's better to die than to live, even if you know that the military will clone a new self after you die, no one still wants to be replaced by a copycat clone.
The battle damage ratio between the two sides has always been the focus of Ye Fei's attention, and the update of the number jΓΉ is in ten seconds, and when the new number jΓΉ appears in front of his eyes, the ratio of six to five stung Ye Fei's eyes.
Exchanging five of one's own warships for the enemy's six warships is a bit of a advantage in terms of numbers alone, but the Atlanteans have more than eight hundred warships, and the human side plus the Seed Source only has ninety-one warships, and even if it is six to one, Ye Fei feels that it is a big loss.
It will take ten minutes to recover the commando team's operation, which is so inconspicuous on weekdays, but on the battlefield of life and death, this time is enough to determine the outcome of the battle several times!
If we do not change the situation of being passively beaten, the fate of the fleet can be imagined.
Ye Fei looked sideways at the assault ships that were still busy outside the capital star, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Inform all ships, abandon the capital star, and immediately start a faster-than-light maneuver." β
"Yes!" Ruan Peng agreed without thinking.
"Boss!" The black bear was shocked, "Let's withdraw, what about the assault ships and commandos?" β
Ye Fei said in a deep voice: "The lesser of two evils, we can't afford to lose the fleet." β
The black bear was stunned and looked like he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back and hung his head silently.
Ye Fei didn't say it too clearly, but everyone understood that the battleship was much more important than the assault ship plus the commando.
Although this is said to be cold-blooded and cruel, but the reality is always so cruel, once the battleship is lost, neither the assault ship nor the commando team can survive in this war, only by keeping the battleship, can we block the enemy's attack, so as to protect the assault ship and the airborne forces!
It's not that Ye Fei is indifferent and ruthless, it's that he can't help but do it.
At present, there are only five fleets in the whole army, plus the Yunzhou Independent Fleet, there are only six fleets, and there are currently three of them concentrated in the capital of Atlantis, if these warships are eaten by Atlantis, the strength of the military will drop by at least more than half!
On the surface, ninety warships are half of the Republic's fleet, but the battleships will soon be replenished under the full construction of the engineering robots, and the real losses are these experienced veterans in the fleet!
Clones can solve the problem of loss of personnel in a certain way, but there is no way to do it after all, and the military top brass will not encourage commanders and soldiers to fight the enemy because of the endorsement of such counterintuitive means.
Considering that this order might affect the morale of the fleet, Ye Fei added in time: "Ruan Peng, one more thing, after launching a mobile operation, fight beautifully, the more enemy forces we contain, the safer the assault ships will be, let's just say that." β
"Yes!"
The order was conveyed to all ships, and the fleet, which had long been held back by passive beatings, entered the speed of light for the first time, and the few battleships at the forefront of the second fleet did not even want a levitation shield, and directly turned on the magnetic engine and ran away.
The Atlanteans were unaware that the humans had changed their tactics and were still pouring fire on enemy ships outside the capital. (To be continued......)
