Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!
Chapter 386 05.0385: ‘Horatio’s Fleet Combat Plan’
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The bright flames at the tail of the aircraft were like meteors piercing the darkness.
According to Horatio's plan, the first wave of fighters will take off first, with the main task of intercepting the enemy's aircraft and missiles.
The main task of the second wave of fleets deployed immediately after is to provide escort for the fleet.
According to the interception effect feedback from the first echelon, it will be decided whether the second echelon will also join the interception mission, or continue to accompany the escort.
Horatio stood in front of the huge glazed window more than 30 meters high on the aviation command bridge, watching the blue fireflies of the fighters gradually go away until they disappear in the dark and cold void.
Lieutenant Archie Cuthbert Collingwood paid real-time attention to the holographic air situation warning map.
The speed of the greenskin fleet is very fast, and its tactical intentions are not common sense and are still unknown.
In the high-level command chain channel, the captains of the navy are discussing, exercising the right of suggestion granted to them by the Imperial Navy, speaking in order, and discussing the tactical intentions of the greenskins.
The captain of the navy is different from the alternate officer and other lieutenants.
The Imperial Navy Discipline Act allows them to make their own suggestions in a timely manner under the condition of complying with the communication discipline, so that the captain and the lord captain can listen to and adopt them without going through layers of approval.
Moreover, the navy captain Wen pays more attention to all-round quality training.
As the middle and senior officers on the ship who are qualified to be promoted to captain, the suggestions they make are not limited to the departments they are in charge of.
All departments, all situations, and even tactics and strategies are all parts that they can suggest.
However, the final decision is always in the hands of the captain.
A strict dictatorial democracy.
"They don't look like they are going to proceed step by step, first fight a decisive battle with the Gothic 25th Squadron that has entered the outer orbit,
and then defeat the inner ring fleet after defeating the outer fleet." The second officer of the Operations Department Captain judged the behavior of the greenskins.
"It's like-it's like they are going to rush directly into the planet's suborbital and smash it down with the garbage ship." Huo Maoxiao added that the scene he saw from the omen fragments was that the garbage ship that fell into the atmosphere rushed to the ground like a fire-filled star.
"If so, we must stop them." Commodore Peru said.
"Captain, the reconnaissance ship reports that the Chaos rebel ship is heading towards us from the 297 direction.
I think we may try to disrupt the battle situation. When we are in chaos, let Chaos and the greenskins become more chaotic. At this time, our organization and discipline will help us gain the upper hand."
"According to the judgment of the reconnaissance aircraft and the current situation, I think that at 9:27 Terra time, the Chaos fleet will immediately insert into our line from the 270 direction in an oblique line. And if nothing unexpected happens, we are maneuvering towards the 345 direction at this time."
Horatio gave a very detailed answer, accurate to the degree.
No one knows where he got this accurate number, but this general heading does meet the expected conception in Perru Jianchang's mind, so he did not interrupt Horatio.
"Go on, Captain Horatio."
"Although both sides of our battle line can fire at the same time and pour firepower on the enemies on both sides. But if we do this, we will also face a situation of fighting on two fronts, and we will suffer heavy losses at that time.
My suggestion is to deceive the Chaos fleet with the original false track before the enemy surrounds us on both sides.
When the Chaos fleet sails to the middle of our fleet, make a big turn in front of the enemy, and let the escort ships and destroyers use torpedoes to force the Chaos fleet to be unable to maneuver against our turn in front of the enemy.
In this way, the Chaos fleet has to maintain its course, or sail in a direction of 70-80 degrees to us, but no matter how it evades, it will be hit head-on by the greenskin fleet.
In this way, in our fleet that is turning, the cruisers of the front squadron can use the heavy Firepower and Chaos Fleet can conduct artillery fire, and the light cruisers of the rear squadron can use flexible maneuvers and rapid-fire artillery to engage in battle with the green-skinned garbage ships.
And, there is also a top-class light cruiser, we must not use it as a serious light cruiser.
In the sound of the rusty voice, on the one hand, he didn't know what the situation would develop, and he was still in the stage of guessing and judging the enemy's movements; on the other hand, if the situation described by Captain Xinpu really happened, then his response measures would undoubtedly be the best solution.
Commodore Peru and Captain Lord Sterling looked at each other, and the captain nodded.
"Thank you for your speech, Captain Horatio Cochrane, your suggestions will be included in the plan and recorded in the diary. If the battle situation is really as you said, we will adopt your suggestions." Captain Sterling said.
"Yes, captain. "
Then the next officer spoke.
While the Imperial Navy command was brainstorming, the fleet's void had already sailed out of the defensive minefield around the planet through the fortified channel and reached the outer orbit.
Here, firing shells in the direction of the planet requires additional consideration of the planet's gravity, which can affect the incoming firepower.
The Imperial Navy used the planet Farr as the background, with huge and magnificent broadside guns and light spears aimed at the cold and gloomy void.
The Gothic 25th Squadron was led by the moon-class cruiser Lord Daros, followed by the flag ship Doomsday-class battlecruiser Indefatigable.
Behind them were the Tough-class light cruisers equipped with cruiser-class light spear guns, the Diligence-class light cruisers equipped with cruiser-class large-caliber macro guns, the Tiaopan-class light cruiser carrier, and finally the Dreadnaught-class light cruiser escort supported by two Carl-Duniash detachments.
Destroyers and escorts will be divided according to the exposure to the lower level. Commodore Edward Perroux will conduct the fleet's maneuvering command according to the enemy's movements.
In the inner orbit of the planet, the fleets of the Karl-Duniyash and the Ultima Star Region Navy Headquarters have also been lined up.
Unlike the Gothic Fleet, the ships of the Karl-Duniyash Fleet did not form a battle line, but relied on the star fortress to deploy firepower blockades on the sparsely-packed access channels.
Several light cruisers aimed their sides at the entrance of the channel.
The star fortress was deflected by the commanding officer and blocked the front channel of the gap. The crew inside was loading and preparing the macro cannons distributed in the inner ring.
The Mars-class battlecruiser "Wrath of Mondayas" was facing the outer orbit head-on, so that its new guns could provide firepower reinforcements to the Gothic Fleet, and the side guns could also fire a salvo against the uninvited guests who rushed into the inner orbit.
"This is the Skyhawk Squadron. We have visually confirmed the enemy's high-speed aerial targets." Fasha's voice came from the channel.
"Don't show mercy, make sure to destroy them all." Horatio gave permission to attack.
"As you wish, we will, little captain. Everyone, fire!"
At Fasha's order, all fighters exited the silent navigation state and released almost all the radar-indexed missiles they carried.
Due to the long distance, the two sides were separated by tens of thousands of kilometers. Even Horatio, with the observation device with the longest detection distance, could only see a faint, small, dim firelight in the void.
A Cobra Widowmaker-class destroyer sailing silently reported the results of the air battle to the Indefatigable Aviation Department, "About 60% of the enemy's small aircraft were destroyed, and the remaining enemy aircraft continued to charge forward."
Soon, the Cobra Widowmaker-class destroyer used the tower-type experimental scanning equipment of the ship department to
# conduct the first round of scanning.
This class of destroyers is a variant of the Cobra destroyer.
Its title of "Widowmaker" originated from the Gothic War, when the 24th Destroyer Squadron of the Gothic Fleet was equipped with this advanced experimental scanner, the "Widowmaker" Squadron.
After the victory of the Gothic War, in order to commend the heroic performance of the 24th Destroyer Squadron in the war, the Imperial Navy named the destroyers equipped with this type of advanced scanner equipment as the "Cobra Widowmaker" class. This type of meta-scanner can scan and detect the self-marker within a spherical radius of about 2,000 kilometers.
After the detection content was transmitted back, Horatio noticed the holographic image uploaded by the Thinker array in front of him. The officers in the CIC War Situation Room made a reference division based on the size, size, and specifications of the green-skinned garbage ships discovered, referring to the classification standards of each army in the Empire.
4 cruiser-class hulls, including one "big stone"
7 light cruiser-class hulls, including two "rocks".
There are dozens of gunboats, attack ships, and bumper boats.
There were so many of these dazzling small junk ships that the officers were unable to unify them all before the detection waves lost data.
