The situation of the war turned around so quickly that it was staggering.
Under attack from multiple angles by the Knights' fleet and fighter jets, the 38 warships that attempted to land on the surrendered Plato prisoner of war ship included 10 axis gunboats, but each of them used their own ultra-large-caliber pulse electron cannons to target them.
Plato's prisoner of war ship is considered a safety measure.
However, the sudden attack of the deformed fighter jets from both sides almost eliminated the axis gunboats in a matter of seconds - their most vulnerable side armor was penetrated by the super electromagnetic cannon of the "White Tiger" fighter jets with one blow.
"We were ambushed!" A black-looking commander wailed to Colonel Diaz for help.
The turrets of Plato's 10 prisoner-of-war ships also seemed to be holding their breath and were ready to bombard the Gaia battleship that came forward to disarm them.
This small fleet was shrouded in a dense burst of fire. The form of explosion in the vacuum of the universe was full of bewitching beauty, like a golden-red flower that consumes human life blooming in the darkness.
Colonel Diaz and his staff watched on the display screen as one-tenth of the fleet's strike force was destroyed almost instantly - the small fleet was completely wiped out. The horrified expressions stayed on their faces and could not disappear for a long time.<
/p>
This is the same group of people who, twenty minutes ago, were still smugly laughing at Plato’s White Tiger Knights who turned out to be vulnerable.
"We are being attacked from two sides and requesting support." Colonel Diaz asked for help from the fleet flagship "Giza" which was 3 light miles away.
At this time, Lieutenant General Nazarbayev and Major General Han were stunned. They saw the communication video shaking violently, then flashing and flashing, and the jittery images were distorted and flashing randomly. This meant that the fleet's
The flagships have suffered heavy damage.
"How could this happen..." Major General Han felt that he could no longer stand still. He had never seen such a rapid and inspiring attack in decades.
Under the transparent ceiling of "Giza", everyone held their breath and watched the fierce battlefield dynamics on the 3D quantum projection display platform. The cursors representing the fleet led by Colonel Diaz began to decrease rapidly. This was unilateral.
Massacre, as if the direction of the battle has turned to Plato's side.
"Xiao Xu, this is not in your plan!" Major Chen panicked, "This is not our script!"
Lancer Xu was naturally among a group of staff officers who were nervously watching the battle, but at this time, his expression was unexpectedly calm. He was attracted by the tactics of the White Tiger Knights: bending the heavy space battleship group
The arcs, the attack points covered by various turrets, the formation attacks of the deformed fighter groups and the drone groups are as neat as the wave lines of the ocean, and the various groups echo each other. This is a fleet with almost perfect training and coordination. p>
"So beautiful!..." he blurted out in fascination.
"Silly boy, you are so scared! Look at your plan!" Director Chen couldn't help but complained harshly to his subordinates.
"For the first time, I saw the use of silence to lure the enemy and flank attacks in the classical era." Lancer Xu was completely immersed in his own world and couldn't help expressing his feelings to the director, "The techniques and tactics we learn in the military academy are very
Rough, what the instructors taught us were attrition tactics of fire suppression... We relied entirely on the performance of the weapons on the front line and ignored our tactical literacy."
"What nonsense are you talking about! What should we do now? Your battle plan is invalid and everything is in chaos. Do you know it?" Director Chen yelled at him.
"Prussian military academies will repeat Moltke's teachings: Once the war begins, all plans are abandoned. We can only follow the enemy's actions and take advantage of them."
Lancer said in an unusually clear and calm tone.
After finishing speaking, all the senior commanders and staff raised their heads and looked at the young sergeant. He was of medium build, with dark curly hair. From the perspective of a mixed-race face, his facial features were quite charming, especially
His eyes are very beautiful. His face has not completely lost its baby fat, his skin is tender and smooth, and the beard on the sideburns is still in a downy state. His whole person's state can be described as "young" or "bookish", which is probably the most beautiful.
Just right.
"Old Moltke? The old earth dates from the 19th century. Who remembers the training of the Prussian military academy in the space age?" A young staff officer with the rank of lieutenant retorted to him.
"Some tactics are eternal, just like what Kalki demonstrated." As long as he talks about his areas of expertise, Lancer, who was originally a little shy, will suddenly ramble on, "The tiger was injured by the hunter's trap, but it
Full of hatred, it pretends to be dead in the trap, waiting for the person who set the trap to return. At this time, it suddenly jumps up and attacks desperately... Isn't this a tactic that existed in the era of human hunting?"
"This method of first showing weakness on the battlefield and running away, and then turning back and attacking, let me think about it, there is another name." This young man who was immersed in his own world had no consciousness to shut up, "By the way! Pa!"
Tia-style shooting method! First show weakness to lure the enemy to pursue them, and then react and fire back. At this time, the range is very close, and the opponent is willing to underestimate the enemy, so it will definitely inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Just like Kalki used his prisoner-of-war ship to lure us closer.
..."
"Just like his name, White Horse Knight... Kalki is very familiar with cavalry tactics and has perfectly integrated them into the tactics of modern space warfare." Lancer finally sighed thoughtfully.
"This kid is really a talent." Lieutenant General Nazarbayev laughed.
Although he is a bit confused, he has risen to the position in the army by relying on mixed qualifications, but he does not suppress his juniors. In other words, he can appreciate a sergeant who has a huge disparity in status between him and him.
"He is the actual planner of the Darjeeling Project." Major General Han said from the side.
"Come, come to me!" The lieutenant general asked him to stand closest to the commander.
The senior generals in the command headquarters were surprised to see this little clerk in the intelligence department gain the favor of the fleet commander.
"Now, what should we do?"
"Let General Diaz hold on for another ten minutes, and then you can retreat."
"Then let's do this..." Lieutenant General Nazarbayev didn't know what to do, but now he can only obey.
"The enemy's firepower is too strong! 80% of the squadron's aircraft have been shot down." Another staff officer clicked a few times to display all types of losses.
"Karki is successful tactically, but not necessarily strategically." Lancer said seriously, "I have analyzed his energy consumption in various battles during my free time. He is a master in fighting annihilation battles, but not
He is good at fighting wars of attrition. As long as we insist on holding him back, he will be under great psychological pressure. Once the psychological pressure becomes greater, his rate of judgment errors will increase... not to mention that he will never guess the true strategic intentions of our army..." The young sergeant showed a sly smile:
"I put a lot of animal traps, but one of them will always catch the tiger's leg."
Everyone turned to look at this strange young man.
Under the overwhelming onslaught of the White Tiger Knights, Colonel Diaz, who received the order to retreat, immediately fled deep into the dark sky with his remaining troops.
"We lost more than 75% of our warships and almost all our drones and fighter planes!"
The flagship "Good Luck" has been severely damaged. The hull is shaking constantly. Darkness envelopes the command room. The damaged circuits are spraying sparks on the ceiling. In despair, the young staff officer can only roar to talk to the supreme commander. p>
"We must rescue our downed pilots." General Diaz protected himself with a seat shield.
"The Platos agreed." The correspondent also reported in a difficult voice.
The Gaia fleet that fled the battlefield left behind a dozen medical rescue boats without weapons, which were busy rescuing the Gaia pilots who escaped and ejected when they were shot down. These small balls that protect the Gaia pilots are floating in space and can
Protect the pilot's vital signs within 48 hours. The ambulance boat has a wide, flat opening, which is like a vacuum cleaner to suck the spherical escape cabin that floats farther and farther into the cabin at the fastest speed.
The personnel in the "Varuna" headquarters also saw the Gaians busy rescuing the pilots from a small window.
"The efficiency of Gaia's army is worrying... How many people can survive this kind of rescue?" Amati couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
"Their pilots are not our knights. The training time is very short, so it is easy to recover blood and they can afford to lose." Another young staff officer on the side explained.
"The grand commander abided by the rules of engagement and did not attack them."
"Kalki, we all know that he loves to dream of knights, riding a white horse to save the princess..."
The two young people smiled, and everyone understood tacitly that there was a kind of romantic idealism in the nature of the Grand Leader, which was even somewhat unrealistic.
"No, he just doesn't bother to do it." Ila said firmly.
"Idealism is just his surface, or his hypnosis of himself. Once he wakes up, he may be more practical than any of us."
Everyone present looked up to see Captain Ila commenting on his boss.
"Stop chatting, it's not time to relax yet."
Ila seemed to immediately realize that she had made a mistake. Everyone could only calm down and continue working.
"I have driven the Gaians to OSU area 395. They suffered heavy losses and were defeated."
Deacon Eden reports to the Grand Master.
"We won!" the impatient Luo Hou had already shouted.
"Grand Commander, I really have you!" Swelin's voice sounded very happy.
"Let's return to the flagship first."
Kalki's tone was very calm. He had a hunch that the Gaians would not let it go.
Just as the knights were preparing to celebrate their victory, Shankara saw the enemy alert sent to him by the shipboard space radar.
"An enemy aircraft group appears in the WSC594 area!" the young voice of the chief of staff sounded.
"That's the asteroid belt!" Kalki received the warning at the same time. He used his consciousness to retrieve the regional image. Due to the limited detection range of the space radar, only a flash point like dense snowflakes appeared on the display.
.
"Knights, form an attack formation!"
Kalki immediately ordered, and after a fierce battle, the space-morphing fighter group fought again.
From behind the dense asteroid belt, giant drones suddenly flashed out in waves like waves, shooting wildly at the Plato Knights fighter jets. Their special super-light laser beams drew dense ballistic lines, hitting
The entire area is illuminated.
"This is Gaia's largest X-type drone, Mars-II, and it is equipped with a tachyon beam. We must be careful!" Shankara immediately reminded.
"Where did such a large fleet of aircraft come from out of thin air?" Luo Hou complained.
A fierce air battle has begun. 50,000 "Mars-II" drones are like the densest swarm, launching their deadly "stingers" - high-energy super-light speed bombs at hundreds of White Tiger Knights' deformed fighters.
The Plato fighter planes immediately dispersed, using the fastest speed to avoid this intensive shooting. "Mars" is the largest and most powerful drone recognized by Gaia. The kite-like X-shaped frame is extremely strong and lightweight, and can have 5 launchers.
Point, the firepower is extremely fierce, and it can roll in space, causing the laser beam to hit the target from all angles.
"We must use speed!" Kalki reminded loudly.
The biggest weakness of drones compared to transforming fighters is probably the speed delay compared with remote-controlled attacks and live attacks. The knights try their best to use the speed in their minds to dodge and attack back and forth.
However, the number and firepower of Gaia's drones are almost overwhelming, and the "White Tiger" fighters are exhausted in the uninterrupted dense firing line. The Gaia drones are so dense that even the deformed fighters that evade too quickly can directly hit the target.
Above a "space kite", a fierce and violent explosion——

Everyone in the command room of Gaia's flagship "Giza" was watching the fierce battle simulated by the three-dimensional image attentively. Lancer was naturally fascinated. The densely packed 50,000 X-type drones were like a sea tide and a whirlpool.
Hundreds of Plato fighter planes are involved in it, and missile beams are constantly flying. What a spectacular scene.
Seeing that the aerial knights of the arrogant White Tiger Knights were fighting with drones for a long time, Lieutenant General Nazarbayev, who was well-informed, started chatting with his partner Major General Han.
"Let me just say that future space wars will be dominated by space drones." Lieutenant General Nazarbayev seemed very relaxed.
"This time, 100 times the number of Mars-IIs were launched. How could there be such a configuration in an ordinary battle? The Ministry of War is very stingy. This is a special military operation, so it gave us an unlimited budget." Major General Han said very realistically.
Said, "The sudden fleet attack was made with countless money. This kid has a great idea. He used a group of five airborne storage boxes to place them on the predetermined asteroid belt in advance, and used remote control equipment to release them when needed... But
You don’t know how troublesome it is in actual operation. If it were the previous Ministry of War, I heard that the probability of the White Tiger fleet appearing was less than 40%, and it would have to fly so many expensive latest drones. The Ministry of War would definitely not allow such a pass.
They will not do a loss-making plan..."
The lieutenant general's silence was profound, acknowledging that this was a rare exception.
"Ideas are one thing, actual operations are another. War is a human behavior with a budget." Major General Han summed it up very accurately.
"The Platonic people think they have excellent blood and are a race of gods, and regard us as an inferior race. But in fact, our Gaians are extremely powerful. Our population is 38.1 billion more than the Platonic population, and we have incomparable population resources.
, and can consume unlimited interstellar resources. No matter how good they are individually, they cannot defeat us, because war is essentially an act of consumption."
Nazarbayev suddenly said with unusual confidence.
"That's right, war is just consumption, an infinite consumption. Whoever can consume more will be sure of victory. Victory or failure has little to do with individual excellence." Major General Han immediately agreed shrewdly.
