Chapter 550 I Am Attacking the Main Fleet

"All personnel on standby! All personnel on standby! All personnel immediately arrive at their positions. The fleet is about to engage the Federation Navy fleet. Cover the emergency evacuation of our cargo fleet!"

After the boatswains of each warship sounded the signal of "all personnel on standby" after receiving the signal, all the people in the Third Task Force started to move.

Several "ship reporters" from the group's publicity department who have been following the operation for a long time also used their equipment to record the scene of the sailors of the Atlas combat fleet arriving at their respective positions quickly and orderly in their warships.

In particular, the scene of some sailors quickly going up and down the gangway, or using the handles in the ship's passages to assist in movement, passing through these ship's passages at a very fast speed, became a classic shot of "long-lasting" in the future and was repeatedly used.

Perhaps the previous battle to defeat the Rubion Galaxy garrison fleet gave everyone in the Third Task Force something called "confidence".

And let them know that their combat fleet, except for its slightly smaller size, is not inferior to their enemies in terms of ship performance and technical level, and even far exceeds them in some technologies.

This directly led to the morale of all the people in the Third Task Force being high after hearing the order of "all members ready for battle", and no one showed any signs of retreat at this time.

As for the trainees of the Renaissance Alliance, they had no fear at this time, because they were fighting for the independence of the Rubion Galaxy.

After receiving training from Atlas, they had long lost their sense of belonging to the Federation in this long-term subtle influence.

So at this moment, after seeing the "invading" Federal Navy fleet, all the Renaissance Alliance trainees, including Johnny Riding and Manfred, entered the state of "defending their homes" and were not afraid of fighting with the Federal Fleet.

In this state of unity among the entire fleet, the Third Task Force quickly broke away from the escort mission, and immediately adjusted its formation and began to maneuver in the direction of the Federal Fleet.

At the front of the formation were the warships that were seized from the Rubion Galaxy garrison fleet not long ago and were still able to operate normally.

The crews on these warships have all been transferred. You can't see a single living person on the entire warship. All the operation and combat instructions of the ship are completed by the "temporary control personality".

And their role is also very simple, that is, to act as the fleet's "meat shield" in the first round of attack.——

"Do you think the other side has discovered us?"

Rear Admiral Benelli asked on the flagship of the 17th Fleet, the Magellan.

"I don't know. In theory, our current position should be relatively secret."

Rear Admiral Stoner, who was sitting on the flagship of the 18th Fleet, the Galileo, answered after hearing his colleague's question:

"But if I think from the perspective of anticipating the enemy, I would assume that the other side has discovered us at this time."

"At such a long distance? And we haven't found the shadow of the Atlas fleet yet." Benelli was a little unbelievable. After all, the detection distance of conventional fleets is now about 300,000 kilometers, which is close to a distance of one light second.

But neither fleet has detected Atlas's battle fleet. If they have been exposed, it means that the distance of Atlas's battle fleet has already exceeded the conventional 300,000 kilometers.

This is still the case when this kind of "Earth-Moon System" celestial body has a certain impact on fleet detection.

Stoner: "That's why I said to be lenient with the enemy. Don't forget that the enemy we are facing next quickly annihilated the Rubion Galaxy garrison fleet, and even let them only have time to send a message for help!"

"What should we do next?"

Bernelli has already regarded the more experienced Major General Stoner as the commander-in-chief of the two fleets, so he directly asked about his plan.

"The original plan remains unchanged. We will continue to approach Rubion V at a high speed according to the planned orbit. At the same time, all observation teams will pay close attention to the situation in the space around Rubion V and report any abnormality immediately!"

——

On the bridge of the Infinity, Randall and others also quickly noticed the enemy's movements. With the help of the detection equipment upgraded with the pioneer technology on the Infinity, they were able to keep continuous surveillance on the enemy that suddenly appeared on the back of the moon.

So when the two federal fleets changed their orbits according to the planned plan after the acceleration and rushed towards Rubion V, the last bit of luck in everyone's hearts disappeared.

The other party was coming specifically for them.

"Colonel, it is expected that we will also enter the detection range of the enemy fleet in 20 minutes. If the black body coating is not activated, the big guys like Infinity and heavy cargo ships will definitely be discovered by the other side."

The duty officer looked at the three-dimensional battlefield situation map and reported to Randall.

Although the situation was a bit serious, Randall's expression gradually relaxed, because he suddenly realized that no matter how serious he was, he could not change the weights currently placed on the scale by both parties.

In this case, it is better to relax your nerves. Sometimes being too tense is not a good thing.

After a while, Randall, who seemed to have an "epiphany", asked the officer on duty and others around him, including the fleet gunnery officer:

"How about it? Think of a way to fight him!"

The officers around were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect Randall to be so bold.

The officer on duty: "Colonel, the enemy fleet is more than twice ours, and it's not a second-rate force like the Galaxy Garrison Fleet, but a serious main fleet of the Federation Navy."

"What's wrong with the main fleet? I'm fighting the main fleet! When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, you know?"

Randall's eyes glared, and a fierce temperament suddenly burst out of his whole body, making others feel very familiar.

It was exactly the same as when Amber was commanding the battle, as if he was "possessed" by this boss.

However, although Randall's current state was indeed affected by Amber, it was more because of the "instructions" given to him by Guterres before.

The former vice admiral of the Federation Navy taught him a lot of "exam key points" about the combat regulations of the main fleet of the Federation Navy, as well as the habits of most fleet commanders.

One of them was about some characteristics of the Federation Navy in the process of long-distance contact with the enemy.

Thinking of this, Randall looked around at everyone, and seeing that no one had spoken yet, he took the lead and said:

"Since no one is talking, I will speak first."

He pointed to the position of the enemy fleet on the three-dimensional battlefield situation map, and a red indicator light spot also moved in the direction of his finger.

"The fleet currently has a lot of stealth plasma torpedoes in reserve. While the enemy has not yet entered their maximum detection range, each ship will first launch 40% of the plasma torpedoes, set the route and procedures in advance, keep silent and bypass the side lobes of the enemy fleet's long-wave radar, and turn on the seeker after entering the predetermined distance.

After launching this group of torpedoes, except for the captured warships as "bait meat shields", which move forward with the corner reflector bait, the entire fleet enters the stealth action mode and maintains a low speed to engage the enemy."

At this point, Randall looked at the shipborne controller Geselina floating in the air.

"As the saying goes: one trick is enough to conquer the world. I want to try the tactics that Cleves used on Pella IV.

So Selina, help me calculate a torpedo drop point and a preset route. After the fleet arrives at this 'drop point', it will fire plasma torpedoes to the rear. After completing a slow orbit around the planet with the cover of Rubion V, it will try to attack the enemy fleet from the side!"
