Eight hundred and seventy-three strange behavior

"It's really stupid to defend ten fronts at the same time!"

After a full ten days of fighting, the path chosen by Moy United was beyond everyone's expectations.

Instead of blocking part of the ocean currents and concentrating forces to defend several of the narrowest ocean current channels, as the Coalition General Staff had speculated, they directly divided troops into ten locations and defended all external channels at the same time.

According to the information from the front line these days, none of the other's reserve fleets have been detected behind all the ocean current defense lines, and the battleships on the defense line have lost one and one less, and there is no reserve force to supplement them at all.

And the consumption of these ten days has caused almost every line of defense to lose almost 10% of its combat power.

But when you think about it, it's not that surprising.

After all, ten lines of defense are being defended at the same time. In addition to the battleships lost in the previous battle of Mills, it is not easy for the Moi Union to gather the fleets on the line of defense alone. The strength of the back... Hehe!

This made Bonifacio sneer...

"Commander Bonifacio, the latest battle situation on the front line, the combined fleet of Moi has begun to retreat!"

"Oh? Originally I thought they could be tough for at least a month, but they've been cowardly in just ten days?"

While laughing, Bonifacio called up tactical images from all over the front line, but quickly frowned.

It stands to reason that if you really want to retreat, you should concentrate fire on destroying all the hyperspace interference devices of the coalition forces, like the Milsey super cluster, and then take the opportunity to use hyperspace navigation to evacuate, so that the coalition forces cannot pursue in a short time. .

But now, the other party did not do this, but retreated while maintaining firepower.

"Notify the staff and analyze the motives of the Moi people's actions!"

"Yes, Commander Bonifacio!"

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit abnormal. Bonifacio decided to let the Allied Forces Staff Department analyze first, why is the other party's strange behavior, and is there any conspiracy involved?

If this is replaced by Bonifacio before the first World War in Mills, there will never be so many concerns.

But obviously, that battle left a lot of shadows in Bonifacio's heart.

made him hesitate...

After receiving the order, the huge staff composed of more than 200 civilizations attacked more than 3,000 top tactical forecasters, and immediately carried out various deductions according to the current situation.

finally...

A conclusion has emerged!

Because the gap between the two sides of Yangliukou is rapidly closing, and the Moi have no reserve force to supplement.

Therefore, in order to maintain the advantage brought by the poor strength, the Moi abandoned the confrontation at the mouth of the ocean, and instead retreated at sub-light speed with the help of space interference while maintaining the exchange of fire.

The advantage of this is that if the coalition forces pursue and go, the Moi can always maintain an absolute advantage in strength for sniping.

Taking Haisai as an example, the number of remaining battleships on the Moi line of defense is about 280 billion, while the number of battleships gathered by the coalition forces at the exit of the ocean current is about 40 billion. The gap between the two sides is about 7 times. .

According to projections, this gap will be flattened after more than 20 days, and will be completely reversed after that.

But what would happen if the Moi abandoned the current line of defense and chose to retreat at sub-light speed as they did at the moment, and maintain the exchange of fire with the pursuit fleet?

In order not to be affected by the time dilation effect, the sub-light speed can only be maintained at a level of 20%, even if it is an advanced civilization.

That is to say, when the Moi people eliminated the more than 40 billion battleships they were pursuing, the fleet arriving from the rear of the coalition would never be able to catch up with the retreating fleet of the Moi people.

After all, everyone's speed is the same, as long as you're out of range, you're always out of range.

In this way, the Moi people took control of the initiative, and could completely reduce the speed, wait for the fleet at the rear to come up, and then re-accelerate to 20% of the speed of light, and engage with them.

As long as they are well controlled, the Moi people can even exchange fire with the coalition forces with a hundredfold difference in strength, unless the coalition forces give up their pursuit!

"Commander Bonifacio, are we going to give up the pursuit?"

"No, let the fleet continue to pursue!"

"But the loss of the coalition forces will be huge, isn't it..."

"You forgot one thing, Moi United's mysterious weapon!"

Shaking his head, Bonifacio said.

The commanders of other civilizations also changed their faces when they heard the words. After all, the White Tiger Empire shared this information with all the civilizations in the coalition before.

only...

The battles over the past few days made them gradually forget this, until now Bonifacio brought it up again.

"So, we still have to pursue. As long as we bite the opponent's fleet, the Moi people will not dare to use that weapon, unless they are going to kill their own fleet together!"

"That's how it is..."

Everyone nodded and accepted the statement.

Indeed, if the Moi used that mysterious weapon in this situation, it would have caused huge casualties to the coalition forces, but at the same time, their own fleet would also get in.

Therefore, it is the most suitable combat plan to send a part of the fleet to pursue and bite the Moi fleet.

"Of course, we can't always gather the fleet at the mouth of the ocean current. While biting the Moi fleet, the other fleets in our theaters that gather at the mouth of the ocean current must immediately start to break the opponent's hyperspace interference and spread out. "

"Only when the fleet is completely dispersed can the huge threat posed by the mysterious weapon of the other side be truly lifted. Otherwise, if the other side is in a hurry, it will come and destroy them together with their own fleet. This is not impossible. thing!"

After pondering for a while, Bonifacio decided to add an insurance, and then said.

For this proposal, everyone is meaningless. Maybe the killing range of the final bomb is really large, but the number held by the other party is definitely not large, otherwise in Millsey, it will not be able to hold it until the end. use.

And based on this analysis, it is natural that the more the fleet is spread out, the smaller the threat will naturally be.

At the same time, the virtual joint command center of humans and Moi people.

"It seems that everything is going according to plan, but your Excellency Lin Fan, I have never understood that if it is just to kill more coalition fleets, then there is no need to use sub-light speed retreat as bait, just use The hyperspace jamming device will hold the opponent for a period of time, and wait for the fleet to gather up to a certain number!"

After looking at the battle situation on the front line, Larnas asked.

This was something he hadn't figured out all along. He always felt that Lin Fan's trick of using the fleet as bait was a bit redundant.

"If you are the commander of the other side, and knowing that we have the terminal bomb, how will you judge when you see that the defenders are all evacuated and the area around the mouth of the ocean is completely covered by hyperspace interference?"

"Will... think it's ready to use the terminal bomb to clear the scene early?"

"Yes, then if you find out that my fleet is only retreating at sub-light speed, and you have a chance to bite my fleet, how will you judge?"

"This..."

Larnaston woke up.

Does that even need to be said?

If you can bite your fleet, you will naturally continue to take the fleet with confidence and boldness...
