A straight line appeared in the gray clouds.

This straight line is like a notch, reflected deep in the clouds, and continues to move forward and stretch forward. At the end of the line, the raging clouds tumble and roll upside down, slowly covering the nicks and leaving countless churning whirlpools.

At this moment, the clouds seem to have life, constantly twisting and healing, as if they want to erase the nicks left on the body. But the occasional explosion, the beam of light, and the raging flames that ignited after the explosion were like suppuration on the wound, constantly preventing the nick from disappearing......

The front of the line abruptly changes direction, and the straight line then becomes a beautiful curve, and after a few moments, it begins to change direction irregularly and frequently.

Each change of direction would line the clouds in both directions, accompanied by a series of explosions and fires.

The clouds were not able to "heal" their own wounds, and the originally small wounds gradually widened over time.

And all this was filmed by a reconnaissance plane that came at high speed.

Above the high clouds, in the stratosphere where the sun is directly shining, a reconnaissance plane with a large delta wing is slowly slowing down.

It is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft painted black with gold stripes as decorations. The fuselage of the reconnaissance aircraft is flat, and the cockpit of the aircraft, which is common for aircraft, is not visible from the outside. The streamlined mech's impressive arc glows with a dark glow in the rising sun, as if it would absorb sunlight. The most dazzling thing is the eruption of appendicitis from behind it, the pure white appendicitis seems to be unremarkable, but it emits the brilliance of the eighth color in the sun.

Countless tiny particles of light erupted from the jet engine at the tail and fell one after another. Like the most gorgeous snowflakes in a dream.

- Dawning Goddess ultra-high-altitude strategic reconnaissance drone.

"Commander, the 'Goddess of Dawn' has arrived in the combat airspace. A data connection is being established with the ship. ”

On the bridge of the Kunpeng, a pleasant female voice reported.

In the stratosphere, the black drone has completed the deceleration. The movable wings on both sides of the fuselage were deployed, and the fuselage was immediately changed from one large delta wing to two delta wings, one in front and one in the rear.

“…… The data connection has been established and the data is being received. ”

Moments later, a series of markers appeared on the tactical airspace map on the bridge's main screen.

The first is the green mark, which is located below the tactical airspace map, and there are a total of ten light spots, each of which is marked with the name and type of ship. The green points of light took the cruiser as the vanguard, and discharged the crane wing array that spread out left and right.

"The size of the enemy fleet is confirmed, and the floating ship recognizes the signal ten. Numbers sequentially from left to right! ”

This was followed by a gradual red mark. There are also ten red markers, eight of which are large and two are small, and they line up in an assault formation that resembles an arrow.

However, at this moment, the assault formation in the shape of a sharp arrow is quite chaotic. The two points of light fell far behind, seemingly disconnected from the arrows in front of them. The left side of the blade is missing, while the right side is squeezed together.

Murong Qiuxue in the command seat immediately questioned: "Why are there two missing?" According to previously detected intelligence, the number of floating ships of the 14th Separate Fleet should have been twelve. ”

Data Validation Submitted...... Data verification and confirmation. ”

The tactical map was immediately refreshed. However, after refreshing, the map still only has ten red markers.

"According to the comparison of data, the 'Goddess of Dawn' confirmed the wreckage of two small floating ships, which are currently falling...... It has been confirmed that the plural lifeboats are located around the small wreckage of the floating ship, and the specific number of lifeboats is being further confirmed! Data updates have been annotated on the tactical map. ”

Two gray dots appear on the map, as if to the left of the arrow. There are also several tiny gray triangles around the broken dots.

"This is ......" Zhang Dongchen in the commander's seat looked at the tactical map, his face full of surprise smiles, "Two wrecks?" It was Seurik who sank it! He sank two floating ships? That's great! Can you identify ship types? ”

"Wait, the data is still ...... in transit"

It has already been confirmed that the sinking of two floating ships is undoubtedly a pretty good start. The top priority target was indeed the flagship of the Fourteenth Fleet, but the plan was originally designated, and it was not expected that the Cancer would be eliminated directly.

Although the Constellation-class large aerospace aircraft carrier has all kinds of "notoriety", it has never stopped questioning its performance. But in terms of armor strength and protection, it is also known for its thick skin. It can even be said that the various notorieties of the constellation level can be said to praise it to some extent - it is normal to curse if you can't beat it.

The situation on the battlefield can change at any time, and it is often the plan that cannot catch up with the change, so it is important to respond immediately. With three cutting-edge assault planes attacking two floating ships, being undefeated is already a boastful record, not to mention the fact that it has now been sunk! Even if the three airframes that were engaged in the raid immediately returned to the sea at this moment, it could already be said that they had cast a winning weight on the balance of victory.

"Ahh The female operator in charge of the data processing of the Dawning Goddess reconnaissance aircraft let out a small exclamation, "The data is transmitted first!" Update! Goal 4, Sink ! ”

The tactical map was refreshed again, and one of the ten red markers was immediately missing. One of the red dots of light on the right side of the blade that was about to clump together turned into a gray broken dot.

Another operator also reported at the same time: "A medium-scale explosion in the area of engagement was observed, presumably ...... It's a small floating ship that has exploded! ”

"Three! Good! ”

Zhang Dongchen couldn't help but raise his arms and shout.

- There will be no one else wreaking havoc on the battlefield except Fang Qiuling. The new results must belong to the mental power trial machine!

"The data synchronization rate is more than 80 percent, and we can already judge the type of hostile floating ships!"

Red labels appear on the red ones.

"At present, the number of hostile floating ships is nine, including three battleships, two cruisers, one large air carrier, and two supply ships...... Yikes! The female operator exclaimed again, "Highest priority data update!" Goal five, sink! ”

Another red mark has changed to a gray broken dot, still to the right of the arrow. Two gray broken dots are next to each other, and the gray at the edges are connected.

Another operator also reported again: "Again a medium-sized explosion in the area of engagement was observed, presumably ...... It's still the martyrdom of a small floating ship! ”

There is no longer a need for data confirmation from the Aurora reconnaissance aircraft, the four floating ships sunk are all frigates.

"Four frigates......" Zhang Dongchen touched his chin and laughed, "Well done Shulik!" Good job! It's really amazing! That's great! ”

Sinking four frigates in one sortie is a record that can boast for a long time even among ace pilots. To achieve such a result, not only does it take skill and strength, but luck is also an unobtainable part. After all, ace pilots usually attack with their teammates, and if you want to win the battle alone, you must first ask your teammates if they agree. This requires not only the "cooperation" of the enemy, but also the "humility" of the teammates.

Murong Qiuxue in the command seat whispered a few words to her sister beside her. Murong Qiuyu nodded slightly, and then started to operate on the tactical command platform in front of him.

The Dawning Territory's 1st Air Fleet then moved forward slowly, and the fleet pressed towards the 14th Independent Fleet in a standard formation with two wings spread.

The role of formation is especially important when large fleets are engaged. The formation determines not only the number of artillery pieces that the fleet can put into the area, but also which ships are the first to be hit by enemy fire when attacked. The amount of artillery thrown into the fleet is directly proportional to the firepower, and the ships that are the first to be attacked are often the most defended ships in the fleet.

Fleet commanders usually concentrate ships with high firepower but relatively weak defenses. The tactics of a concentrated salvo attack were used to "dig holes one by one" on the enemy's front, and then gradually expand the superiority of the artillery battle with a point to the surface, and finally achieve victory.

If we use the analogy of two people fighting each other, then a large-scale fleet battle is like a battle with a dagger. The dagger is the focus of both sides, often targeting the opponent's vital parts or soft spots, while avoiding or blocking attacks from the opponent as much as possible.

However, if the scale of the battle drops to the base fleet and the base fleet, the battle situation will be different.

Affected by the size of the fleet - the full backbone fleet has only 12 floating ships, even if the 12 are battleships, they want to carry out a "roll call" attack on the enemy's floating ships by concentrating firepower...... It's not that it can't be done, a little concentration is still a good tactic, and it is a means often used in artillery warfare. However, it is somewhat presumptuous to expect the opposing floating ship to lose the battle in several rounds of salvos.

A large fleet fires a salvo, and the dense artillery fire can completely cover every corner of the target area. Whether it is a battleship or an air carrier, even a defensive force field ship developed entirely for the purpose of defense, the simultaneous attack of dozens of main guns will inevitably destroy the ship and kill people. Floating ships the size of the base fleet fired a salvo, barely able to penetrate the energy force field. It would be nice to be able to leave a few bullet marks on the ship's armor. Not to mention the defense systems, electronic warfare systems with radar jamming devices, lure baits, etc.

In particular, electronic warfare systems, electronic warfare systems interfere with each other, interact with each other, and influence each other, which can directly cause the hit rate of artillery bombardment to drop below double digits and drop to an extremely ridiculous level. A large fleet can solve the problem of interference from the targeting radar and a decrease in the hit rate with a salvo with full area coverage. But the base fleet can't make a full-area covered salvo - the density of fire doesn't allow it!

In order to increase the hit rate, the backbone fleet often chooses "hand-to-hand combat". It not only enters the visual range, but also conducts aimed shooting in an optical and visual manner, and at the same time sends a strong attack machine to carry out suppressive operations.

With the loss of four frigates, the combat power of the Dawning Leader and the 14th Independent Fleet can be said to be basically equal. Eight cruisers against three battleships plus two cruisers, two carriers against the large Cancer carriers, and the last two supply ships will be ignored for the time being - the same ships or combat power cancel each other out, and the remaining ones that cannot be offset are six cruisers against three battleships, and there will be no loss in firepower, but there will still be some ...... in defense

From the backwardness of all aspects before the raid, to the current partial possession. The deputy commander-in-chief has made a lot of contributions!

The scales of victory have begun to tilt, and the goddess of victory has already dawned and smiled. The next step is to press the whole ship and hold the fruits of victory firmly in your hands!

As the fleet gradually moved forward, the expressions of everyone on the bridge gradually became solemn.

Murong Qiuxue straightened her military hat, and then turned on the fleet's communication channel.

"The whole ship's main guns are ready for a salvo! Shooting unit data starts syncing! ”

A series of green signals lit up on the commander's console in front of him, which was a confirmation of the attack readiness transmitted back by the cruisers.

"Priority focused on the target, ship four. All Attack Readiness ......"

But before Murong Qiuxue could give the order to shoot, the female operator on the communication seat reported loudly:

"Report, report!" The female operator seemed to have discovered something incredible, and there was a slight tremor in her voice, "The enemy ship has sent, sent a request for surrender!" ”

- Request for surrender? You read that right!

At this point in time, it's almost time to send an advisory to surrender. Surrender request, just kidding!

Everyone's eyes on the bridge were instantly focused on the communication seat. I don't know whether it was because of shame or excitement, but the female operator's face swelled up.

“…… It's, it's confirmed! It's a surrender request! It's a surrender request! Not an exhortation to surrender! ”

The female operator worked on the console for a while, and after obtaining permission, she directly connected the communication channel to the fleet radio.

"I'm Casta Nyos, Rear Admiral of the San Terda League, Captain of the USS Cancer, and I am the first in command on the spot to request the surrender of the Dawning Airspace Fleet......"

As the communication was connected, five white flares were raised high – a universal signal for unconditional surrender.

Murong Qiuxue's cold gaze was filled with irrepressible surprise. She looked back at her spouse, and Zhang Dongchen in the commander's seat behind her was also at a loss.

- Is this a win?

The main force of the fleet did not fire a single shot, and only three raiding raiders forced the other side to put up a white flag.

"Thulick...... You...... What exactly was done? ”

A muttered sigh slipped from Zhang Dongchen's mouth. Although the voice was soft, it still fell into Murong Qiuxue's ears without missing a word.

The communication channel was not turned off, and it seemed that a voice came from the bridge of the Cancer.

"No, don't...... Don't come here! ”

"Off...... Second Gate, Quick! Closed...... Door ......"

"Demons! Demon! He...... Come in! Rush in! ”

"Help, help......"

"Don't let him in, don't ......"

The noisy voice-overs of a horror movie were mixed with the sound of "rustling" electronic interference, causing the crew on the Kunpeng bridge to look at each other.

- What happened? What are you trying to prevent from entering the bridge?
