Chapter 229 Space Battleship Version of the Three-Three System?

Although the assault fleet led by Qi Yiming had the battlefield plug-in of the Wise, after more than an hour of melee, more than a thousand warships were sunk by the coalition forces.

However, compared with the loss of nearly 8,000 warships of the coalition forces, this result can be called brilliant.

However, as the Wise temporarily stopped working, the assault fleet lost the evasion channel provided by the Wise, and the war losses increased significantly.

However, as the warships adjusted their positions, the war losses decreased.

Guo Zhaoyuan, who had been observing the movements of the enemy, found that the assault fleet of the New Federation actually forced to adjust its formation in the melee, and smiled disdainfully.

In order to kill this assault fleet, Guo Zhaoyuan did not gamble everything, but he also took on a lot of pressure.

The huge losses have already made some of his commanders complain.

But when Guo Zhaoyuan found that the New Federation fleet adjusted its formation against its own firepower, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.

He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The assault fleet of the New Federation actually used the three-three formation that only the Marine Corps would use.

"Should I say you are smart? Or should I call you stupid?" Guo Zhaoyuan said to himself: "If you say you are stupid, you actually thought of applying the Marine Corps' combat formation to battleship warfare, but if you say you are smart, don't you know that the three-three system, an outdated combat formation, is only suitable for the Marine Corps?"

The adjutant standing next to him heard his superior muttering in a low voice, and the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was laughing at Qi Yiming for making a stupid move.

The officers of the Allied Command slowly saw the clues, and the expressions on their faces were extremely rich.

"Are you courting death? Who the hell has seen the fleet use the three-three system?" A young officer couldn't help it and complained loudly.

The others shook their heads vigorously while holding back their laughter.

"Isn't the commander on the opposite side promoted from the Marine Corps through nepotism?" A slender voice came from the officers.

This remark caused a burst of laughter.

But a trainee officer who looked like he had just graduated from a military academy whispered: "There seems to be nothing wrong with using the three-three system in a fleet melee?"

"There seems to be nothing wrong with using the three-three system in a fleet melee. Friendly ships can cover each other, but the premise is that the warships can really cover friendly ships as flexibly as humans? Unless their warships can be as flexible as aerospace fighters, using the three-three system tactics is a dead end." Another older officer held the trainee officer's shoulder and answered his question in a preaching tone.

But the officers' group discussed it, and Qi Yiming was not aware of it.

Qi Yiming waited until the fleet completed the formation change and opened the super maneuvering authority to each warship.

The super maneuvering authority is locked by the fleet captain in a regular fleet battle to prevent friendly ships from colliding with each other due to lack of control.

Because super maneuvering, as the name suggests, is a way of maneuvering warships beyond the norm.

After the super maneuvering authority was opened, RCS jets of different sizes appeared on various parts of the hull of each warship.

In the main moving directions of the warship, there are two or three more vector engines.

With the cooperation of these devices, a huge warship can perform a ballet-like performance in space.

This is the confidence of Qi Yiming to use the three-three system.

However, the commander of the coalition forces was not aware of these minor changes, or they did not notice the changes in the warships in the New Federation assault fleet at all.

They still tilted their firepower to the New Federation fleet according to their predetermined attack method.

But many captains reacted during the battle.

They rubbed their eyes and looked at the enemy warships.

It was clear that their fire control radar accurately locked the target and the main gun fired at the first time. In the melee, the two sides were too close, and they could basically hit the other side if they fired.

But what did they just see? A warship suddenly shifted laterally during the maneuver? It cleverly avoided their artillery fire.

What made them even more desperate was that the vital part of an enemy ship was completely exposed to the muzzle of one of their own warships. When the captain ordered to fire and waited to see the other warship set off fireworks, another enemy ship was spraying white gas all over its body, and in a strange way, it used its hardest part to take the attack for the friendly ship.

Before the captain could curse, another of the three warships appeared at the tail of his warship with an erratic maneuvering route, and then the ship body was violently shaken, and the engine was destroyed by the warship of the New Federation and lost power.

Then the warship that had just been covered also sprayed white gas all over its body and adjusted the bow direction at a very fast speed, allowing its own ship guns to quickly aim at the enemy ship, and then a burst of main gun salvos.

In this way, a warship of the coalition went from having an absolute advantage to being sunk in an instant, leaving the captain only enough time to say: "Fuck..."

At this time, the officers of the coalition command had long lost the temperament of directing the country just now, and looked at the battle scenes sent back by the battlefield monitor with a dead look.

They had never thought that a cruiser could fly in space as flexibly as a fighter plane.

But thinking about it, they felt that according to the design concept of the New Federation battleship, it was not impossible to achieve this level.

The elderly officer who had just pointed out Qi Yiming's weakness in using the three-by-three formation in a preachy tone slapped himself hard: "You are so mean-mouthed..."

Guo Zhaoyuan was also frowning at this time. As a general who had climbed up from the bottom, he had seen all kinds of weird things on the battlefield, so the New Federation's warships could perform such super maneuvers. He was just surprised for a moment, and then quickly thought about what to do next. How to proceed with the battle.

Although super maneuverability allowed the enemy to use a three-by-three battle formation, the New Federation's fleet losses were much greater than when the melee began.

Therefore, Guo Zhaoyuan is thinking about whether to use the refueling tactic and use his numerical advantage of warships to overwhelm the opponent.

But the best result he got was that Xuefeng was troubled by too few friendly ships and was sunk in the end of the battle, while his own side lost nearly two-thirds of the fleet.

Guo Zhaolong knew that even with this outcome, the coalition would not have to fight the next battle.

Because the remaining troops are simply not enough to break through the line of defense in front of them.

What's more, given the current situation, the coalition forces may not be able to successfully capture the assault fleet in front of them.

There is a high probability that Xuefeng will withdraw to the defense line with the remaining fleet when nothing can be done.

At that time, the Xuefeng can completely repeat its old tricks and bring a group of fresh troops to engage in melee combat with them.

After weighing the pros and cons, Guo Zhaoyuan decisively issued the order to retreat.

He wanted to reorganize the fleet, and he could not let the New Federation's assault fleet successfully stop his revenge plan in a melee.
