I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 141

On January 22, [-] in the cosmic calendar, the Battle of Sina Drana has entered the third day since the official exchange of fire.The stalemate between the Lin Jian fleet and the Sisti fleet also reached the second day.

"Thirty light seconds ahead, we will reach the 'Hourglass'. The whole fleet is ready for battle." Lin Jian's eyes were bloodshot, which was caused by not sleeping for more than 20 hours.Brant and Florence could take a break, but she didn't have time.There is a dense group of asteroids in the Sinadrana galaxy system, and its revolution period is 756 days. At this time, an 'hourglass' terrain will be formed in the depths of the galaxy leading to the edge of the main battlefield.To reach the main battlefield in a short time, the Sisti fleet must pass through this 'hourglass'.

After more than ten hours of guerrilla warfare, before reaching the 'hourglass', Lin Jian and Sisti decided on the attack strategy at the same time.

The terrain of 'Hourglass' is a complex terrain that is very difficult to choose for both Lin Jian and Sisti.

The special feature of this terrain is that after passing through the central narrow strip, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides will change instantly.In other words, the fleet that has an advantage in the first half of the terrain will become a disadvantage in the second half of the narrow strip.

So the point of fighting on this terrain is who will pass through the narrow strip first.The fleet that passes through the narrow strip first will have a great advantage.Therefore, the ideal state is to enter the 'hourglass' behind the enemy, but pass through the narrow strip before the enemy and enter the second half of the 'hourglass'.

So in the time before the battle started, Lin Jian gathered important cadres on the Geofyn for the last tactical meeting.

"The opponent's warships are inferior to ours in terms of speed, so they must seek to enter the 'hourglass' first. After analyzing the opponent's fleet, I will now arrange tactics. To enter the hourglass, the best way for them It is divided into three parts, one part will contain our firepower, one part will enter the hourglass, and the other part may assist the attack fleet, and may follow into the hourglass." Standing in front of the long circular tactical conference table, Lin Jian turned on the tactical simulator and began to demonstrate , "So our battle is divided into three stages. In the first stage, before entering the 'hourglass', we must concentrate our firepower to suppress this attacking fleet! Force the opponent's secondary attacking fleet to come from the flank and surround us. When they turn around , Stop attacking the main attack fleet, and instead attack this fleet, put the main attack fleet into the 'hourglass', then we cut off the practice between the auxiliary attack fleet and them, and eliminate this fleet outside the 'hourglass'."

"What if the opponent's main attacking fleet doesn't enter the 'hourglass' but entangles us?" Florence has some doubts. In this way, the opponent is likely to create a pincer attack on his own fleet.

"If this is the case, it will be easy to handle." Lin Jian showed a tired smile, which made Jin En beside her a little worried, "If the two fleets want to pinch us, then we don't need to retreat, and we will go from here at the maximum speed. Pass through the gap between the two fleets, catch up with the fleet entering the 'hourglass', and then break through. This may cause a lot of casualties, but as long as we pass the 'hourglass' first, no matter how many people there are on the other side, we will be missed. "

Speaking of this, Lin Jian shook his head regretfully, "But I don't think Colonel Sisti will do this, they don't need to entangle us too much here, they just need to pass through the 'hourglass' quickly Wouldn't it be great to lay siege to our main fleet, wipe out the main fleet and turn around to deal with us?"

"It makes sense for you to say so." Brant nodded. "That Colonel Sisti was born in the regular space fleet. He marched and fought with a strong purpose, and he knew what he should do. So, I think they directly entered the 'Hourglass' is very likely."

"In the second stage, after we wiped out the auxiliary attack fleet, we also sailed into the 'hourglass'. At this time, we took advantage. The attack range was much larger than the opponent's, and the movable area of ​​the opponent's formation would become very small. It is time for us to destroy the opponent's vital force with all our strength. And the opponent's fleet entering the 'hourglass' will certainly not be willing to be beaten. What we need to do is to try to pull this fleet apart to expose the gap, and we will take this opportunity to rush in quickly. Narrow passage. And pass through the opponent's first fleet to enter the 'hourglass', so as to be the first to enter the other end. Then form a siege to the opponent. This is the third stage."

After Lin Jian laid out his tactical intentions, the conference room was silent for a while.

This tactic seems a bit too idealistic, and there are many variables.Maybe the other side wanted to destroy them first, and set up traps inside the 'hourglass', maybe they couldn't defeat one of the fleets inside the 'hourglass' at all, and would consume too much power inside.

Even if all this is achieved smoothly, their own casualties will definitely be very large.

Thinking of this, Brant couldn't help looking at Lin Jian carefully, but saw her looking back, her eyes were calm but firm.

After marching rapidly for one hour, three and 10 minutes, the fleet approached the edge of the gap between the asteroid swarm, the so-called "hourglass" boundary.Lin Jian ordered to wait for a distance of twelve light-seconds to travel toward the orbital plane α of the asteroid belt. All the warships turned off their propellers, and set up a silent field and a magnetic vacuum field, quietly waiting for the arrival of the other party.

At this time, on the flagship Sophie Cedar.Colonel Sisti's face was ashen, while Zisia, who was standing aside, remained silent.After more than ten hours, Colonel Sisti finally met the so-called commander of the support fleet, Baron Ramonesi, another nephew of Duke de Bossian.This burly baron, with arrogance that seemed to be invincible, first accused Sisti on the screen of the electronic crystal screen that the fleet with a larger number of battleships than the opponent had suffered a disastrous defeat, and then he began to ridicule the so-called empire. A good general is nothing but a name.

There is nothing wrong with being accused, after all, it is a fact that he failed miserably.But the boss, Major General Oneg, who had died in the line of duty, was so slandered, which made Colonel Sisti feel extremely angry.

What right does this baron have to speak out here.During these dozen or so hours, he rode in his own flagship and sailed to the forefront of the fleet, completely ignoring the harassment from the opposing fleet behind him.Instead, the major who graduated from the military academy last year showed his rare sophistication, arranging his fleet to enter the reinforcements for a rotation rest, and he led a part of the fleet to resist the attack from behind.

"Then how about asking the two of you to come to the Versailles and discuss the battle plan?"

But a baron actually asked the commander of the regular space fleet to go to his flagship!Colonel Sisti clenched his fists, held back his anger, and agreed to the other party's request.

"Why did Your Excellency the Duke let such a guy join the battle?" After the communication screen on the electronic crystal screen was cut off, Colonel Sisti looked at Qisia standing beside him, his expression still very bad.

"Your Excellency, the Duke, did not want to borrow the power of Baron Ramonesi, but the baron has assembled five thousand troops in the galaxy near the Fisichella Corridor. He also strongly demanded to join the war, so His Excellency the Duke asked him to go to the military port first, and follow me Let's set off together. Although His Excellency the Duke appointed him as the commander of the fleet in name, His Excellency will meet with me in private. If necessary, the Baron can be abandoned."

Colonel Sisti listened to Qisia's words in silence, and after Qisia finished speaking, he looked up at the young major.The outstanding students who graduated from Delacand Starfleet Academy are still outstanding after entering the First Fleet.But in a little over a year he was promoted to major.Although he was the fiance of the princess, he never seemed to hear him mention it.He can become a mid-level officer in such a short period of time, relying on his own efforts.Perhaps, there will always be someone who will link his achievements with that princess, but no one can ignore his efforts.

He didn't know how many nephews or nephews Duke de Bossian had, but what was certain was that His Excellency the Duke only had one daughter.If His Excellency the Duke wins the imperial power, it is foreseeable how those nephews will compete for the favor of His Excellency the Duke, because Xiao is thinking about that position.Apparently, this Baron Ramonesi had this idea in mind and wanted to come here to share the credit.Although Zisia von Nolan is the princess' fiancé, he is an outsider after all, and his family does not support His Excellency the Duke.In short, the situation of this young man is very difficult.

Colonel Sisti reached out and patted the young major on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the Versailles. This vulgar name gave me goosebumps. Versailles, does he think he is the Pope?"

Zisia didn't seem to care, and turned sideways to let Colonel Sisti go first.

At 22:[-] noon on January [-], [-] in the cosmic calendar, the Sisti-Ramonesi fleet, which was divided into three square formations, appeared at the entrance of the "Hourglass".

The Sisti Fleet, which was severely damaged in the previous battle, was now at the center of the three fleets.

During the tactical meeting, Baron Ramonesi insisted that his fleet needed this position.And Colonel Sisti readily agreed to his request, turned around and discussed loudly with Qisia how the two peripheral fleets could rationally annihilate the following fleet that was in the "end of the battle" situation.

The battle situation in the main battlefield ahead is still unknown, but right now, this credit seems to be within easy reach.After weighing the pros and cons, Baron Ramonesi changed his decision.Instead, let Colonel Sisti lead the fleet in the central position, while he leads [-] warships in the periphery.

"His idea is to work together with you to encircle and suppress the fleet behind us first. After I take the fleet into the main battlefield and become cannon fodder, he will then enter the main battlefield to win the final fruit of victory." Gravity was on on the bridge In the sound-shielding field, Colonel Sisti sneered and said to Qisia who was on the communication screen of the electronic crystal screen at this time.

"What do I need to do? Colonel." Zisia stood on the bridge of the flagship Sophie Cedar with her hands behind her back. Her tall and straight figure and handsome face attracted the female soldiers on Colonel Sisti's flagship to stare at the computer. crystal screen.

"You don't need to fight too much with the opponent. After my fleet enters the 'hourglass', you will bring the fleet in. If that guy is smart, he will come in with him. If he wants to seize the credit, Let him experience the opponent's bombardment ability. There is no pity for such a guy to die here."

At [-]:[-], the front end of the Sisti fleet began to sail into the "hourglass"

At this moment, Lin Jian's fleet ambushed on one side finally started to attack.

The opponent's battleship was indeed very different from the Space Fleet battleship. Lin Jian stood on the bridge and looked at the clear picture from the front battlefield.The standard warships of the Space Fleet have replaced a batch of new warships in the past ten years, and the new warships separate the power axis from the gravity axis.And the propeller was transferred from the tail end to the left and right sides, and the position of the rail gun was moved to the support base.The hulls of ordinary standard battleships are mostly dark gray, and the serial numbers of the battleships are clearly marked on the hulls.

At this time, the black battleship on the screen is very different from the standard warship in terms of structural distribution.First of all, its sidewall is quite wide, and the propeller is located in the innermost part under the sidewall, and is covered with a protective shell.Two long-range railgun bores are installed on its periphery.The particle beam cannon originally placed at the front of the hull was placed under the hull, and the guiding device was placed at the front of the hull and equipped with a high-energy shield.

"Report, the other party's flagship has been captured. It's called the Sophie Cedar, and it was manufactured in [-]. It is a private flagship. The owner is Princess Debossian."

Hearing this, Lin Jian, who was looking at the opponent's formation, turned his head to look at the screen at another position of the electronic crystal screen at this time, and the appearance of the flagship Sophie Cedar was fully revealed in front of his eyes.The silver-white flagship stands out among the black battleships.

Just glanced at it, Lin Jian turned his gaze back, and Jin En immediately stepped forward, "Forward! Increase the pressure. Inform Deisler that the frequency of shelling should not be too high, let him decide for himself. Then Inform Brandt and pay attention to the movements of the two fleets. In addition, I need to keep in touch with Brandt and Florence in real time."

The particle beams poured towards the fleet in front of them, and most of them hit the armored ships on the side of the opposing fleet.It can be seen that the opponent has long been on guard against possible enemy attacks.

"Report, the outside of the opponent is full of heavily armored frigates! They cannot attack effectively."

"It doesn't matter, as long as they don't fight back, let them in. Our target is not them." Hearing the report, Lin Jian replied, "What about the periphery?"

"The fleet on the other side has already taken action! They broke out of the fleet group! They began to move towards our position."

"The moving speed of the fleet is slowing down." Lin Jian looked at the formation and position of the opponent's battleships on the electronic crystal screen. When the outer battleships on the other side appeared in the attack range, Lin Jian immediately ordered: "Now, the fleet will move to α The direction is rotated -27°, the three guns are fully fired, and the fleet in front is fully attacked!"
