broken world

On the ninth day of the Battle of Vanade, the imperial army had occupied three military fortresses in the L3 area. Cao Xiaofeng believed that the time had come and launched a counterattack.

Zhang Xu led a force of 14.5 ships to raid the military fortress numbered WJ0.1 located at α3.7, β-01, and γ[-] cosmic orientations.

The imperial army in the fortress did not resist tenaciously. Except for a few casualties, the remaining more than 600 people were all captured.The next problem Zhang Xu faced was how to deal with the captives.

"Do you still need to think about it? Throw them into WJ01, and if the imperial army attacks, they will return them." Cao Xiaofeng said while eating an apple on the communication interface.

"What about the military supplies? Leave them too?"

When Cao Xiaofeng heard about the military supplies, his eyes lit up: "Leave enough water and food for about three days, and I will grab the rest!"

Are you a bandit leader!Zhang Xu complained in his heart, then turned his head and ordered the removal of the excess military supplies after distribution.

WJ02 and WJ03 also encountered the same sneak attack, but the squadrons of Major Rapp and Major Li Shuang implemented the combat plan respectively.

After the battle was successful, the Lapp Squadron fleet, which was relentless in fighting, took the captured supplies to the α-3, β37.6, and γ198.0 universe orientations deep in the L5.4 area to assemble.

This is one of the past dens of space pirates.

Materials and communications are all available.

This is also one of the important reasons why Cao Xiaofeng chose L3 as the battle location.

To fight guerrilla warfare, of course, there must be enough dens, otherwise why would he hide in this ghostly place to study hidden places for more than a month before the war started.

Of course, during this period, Major Xu, the commander of the fleet's ship movement, complained more than once: "Xiaofeng, since you have already made up your mind to pay attention to guerrilla warfare, why do you ask me to practice ship movement desperately?"

Cao Xiaofeng gave her a blank look: "Tired and crooked? Go sweep the bridge."

"Cao Xiaofeng, you!" Zhou Qi dragged Xu Huiqing, who was about to go berserk, out of the bridge of Hangout.

"If I had known earlier, I would not have handed him the answers during the exam! Let him be kicked out of the National Defense Military Academy for failing the exam!"

"Okay, okay, Huihui, calm down, Xiaofeng is under enough pressure." Zhou Qi dragged her aside to preach.

Xu Huiqing patted the wrinkled military uniform, "What kind of pressure does he have? I see that every time he sleeps, he sits on the bridge and eats..." At this point, Xu Huiqing has discovered something, "Xiaofeng..."

Zhou Qi nodded heavily: "I haven't eaten normally for several days. I said I can't eat, so I just eat some snacks and fruits."

From then on, Xu Huiqing stood on the bridge without saying a word.

According to the plan, after the three fortresses WJ01, 02, and 03 were attacked by the Allied forces, the imperial army should allocate more troops to recapture the fortresses. This is an important step in tempting the enemy to divide their troops.

The division of troops is often regarded as the second most important link after supply in strategic and tactical simulation tests.

In the case of the same number of troops, or fewer troops than the enemy, the importance of dividing troops into battle is highlighted.

If a fleet of [-] ships wants to beat a fleet of [-] ships, it is extremely small to rely on frontal victory alone.

But if this fleet of [-] ships, due to various reasons, for example, the commander wants to attack the fleet of [-] ships from front to back, and divides the fleet into two parts A and B, then each has [-] ships. of troops.At this time, use the time difference to attack part A first, and then turn around to face part B after severely injuring A, so as to achieve the goal of disintegrating the enemy.

Cao Xiaofeng used this kind of thinking in the freshman competition.

The Battle of Vanade was just another use of his division of troops.

Therefore, when the imperial army was divided into three groups and went to the three fortresses of WJ01, 02, and 03, Cao Xiaofeng felt that the plan was more than half successful.

Then the next thing to consider is, which fleet should focus on attacking first?

The squadron with a total of 37.6 ships led by Major John Robb Rapp, who has been dormant in space positions α-198.0, β5.4, and γ1 (Battle Zone [-]), received an attack from Haigout At the time of the order, the ship was being given the last fuel supply before departure, when the pale voice of the communications officer came to the squadron's flagship Chaoda bridge——

"Report, an unrecognizable large-scale fleet is found approaching at a distance of [-] light seconds from our army at three o'clock."

Major Rapp quickly responded, "Immediately determine the number of ships, and stop the fuel supply, the entire fleet leaves the airport quickly and enters the first level of combat readiness!"

Within a few minutes, the communication officer sent another message, which caused everyone on the bridge to fall into a sudden panic.

"It has been determined that the number of enemy ships is about [-]."

"Contact Haigout immediately!"

"Report! The enemy has set up a silent field, and the communication signal cannot be sent out."

"Report! The enemy is attacking our army in a spindle-shaped attack formation!"

"Report, enemy flagship identified, Barbarossa."

The successive sounds shook the nerves of everyone on the bridge, but John Robb Rapp didn't feel noisy or messy. At this time, another thought had taken root in his mind——

Sorry, Jessica, I may have to disappoint you again.

"Major," the staff officer beside him, Captain Cohen, reminded him, "please order the attack."

John Robb Rapp put his hands on his shoulders and said: "During the Battle of Asti, you were the one who forcibly took me away from the disorganized Sixth Fleet. And let my subordinates sacrifice in vain, I have never found a chance to thank you, I didn't expect this time, it was my incompetence..."

"Please don't say such things, Major, this raid was not due to your mistake. Besides, Major Li Shuang's squadron is the closest to our army, maybe he will find out that our army was raided by the imperial army and come to rescue, not only him , the entire No.13 fleet will also arrive. Therefore, the most urgent task is to effectively use all available conditions to detour and delay the enemy..."

With a loud "boom", Chaoda jolted violently, and the white-hot neutron beam cannon filled the bridge screen.

"It's a fast cruiser! The enemy's fast cruiser has inserted into our fleet!"

"Mobilize armored ships and destroyers to outflank the fast cruiser. Be sure not to let the enemy disturb our fleet! The left and right wings spread out to the sides, and the central part retreats!"

In the 31th year of the cosmic calendar, and on January [-], the second year of the new imperial calendar, the first fierce battle finally broke out in the long-silent Vanade star field.

在洞察同盟军的意图后，帝国军齐格飞.吉尔菲艾斯元帅调集直系舰队和克纳普斯坦的分舰队共计二万二千艘舰艇对潜藏于瓦纳得星域L3区域α-37.6、β198.0、γ5.4（1战区）的同盟军拉普分舰队发动突袭。

The Battle of Vanade broke out in full swing.
