Chapter 972 The Second Orbital Battle ([-])
==========
Cannon fire flew across the sky, and light scattered.

Located on the orbit of [-] to [-] kilometers on the double moon star, the largest space encounter in the history of the friends was staged.

Although this has been expected and many preparations have been made, such a large-scale battle in low orbit is still somewhat beyond the expectations of the friends.

In fact, we only need to look at the thick historical texts of the Pengzu, which are only a few decades old, but seem to be thousands of years old, and we can find that the largest war in the history of the Pengzu has been recorded, and the number of participating parties did not exceed 30. Wan, and it is also fighting the Zerg.

If only the friends were counted, the largest number of people participating in the battle or the number of troops participating in the battle did not exceed [-].

But in this low-orbit encounter, not only is the battlefield a new low-orbit space for the friends, but the number of enemies has reached an astonishing million; The total strength of the mothership battle group and the independent drone group has reached an astonishing 30.

This is almost comparable to the total population of the friends.

In other words, the total strength of the two sides adds up to nearly 200 million troops, just squeezed into the narrow orbit of [-] to [-] kilometers on Shuangyuexing.

This may not be a problem for the Zerg that wins by numbers, because at this time, they only need to let all the bugs attack, casualties and so on...do I need to care?

But it is impossible for the friends to think like this, because any friend is extremely precious to the friends.

Although after so many years of development, even if there is no near-immortality brought about by energyization, the lifespan of the original people of Pengzu has been increased to about 170, and the lifespan of Yiren has been doubled. As for the further celestial beings, it is completely unknown , because it has not yet emerged from the cocoon.

Since there is only a short historical record time of more than 50 years, the current estimation of the friend's life span actually lacks theoretical basis.

Because so far, there has not been an example of the friend's death that is sufficient evidence.

Under the condition of medical insurance, the friend with the longest life expectancy among friends is only about 60 years old, which is still an estimated life span.Because all friends over the age of [-] were born when the Peng tribe was still in the tribal stage. At that time, the calendar had not yet appeared, and no one recorded how many years they were born.

As for the birth rate, which is very important for friends, so far, the woman with the most childbirth records in the friend family is 60 years old, and she has only given birth to three babies so far.

In this way, under the circumstances that it is impossible to determine whether the reproductive rate of the race is extremely dangerous, the friend family attaches great importance to the safety of each individual friend.Even if it is non-friend soldiers and drones, the safety of friend soldiers will be reduced for every one of them, so the headquarters attaches great importance to the use of any combat unit.

This has created a pattern in which the friends require precise command and combat.

That is to say, in the case of war, the headquarters can even command to the lowest level of soldiers and understand the situation through them.This kind of headquarters can directly command every soldier. In the previous wars, the friend tribe troops were invincible and could respond flexibly to any situation.

However, when the war evolves to a million-level ultra-large-scale, the precision command combat mode has become a burden.

Imagine that a combat command center has to pay attention to every feedback from millions of units every moment when commanding operations. This kind of calculation is enough to make more than 100 staff officers and commanders in the command center have a splitting headache and be unable to do other things. anything.

Even for the consideration of this war, the highest level of contact of the bottom units is downgraded from the war command center to the squadron command centers. Considering that the million-level units are allocated to the four fleet command centers, each fleet command center still needs to Afford at least hundreds of thousands of units.

The pressure is obviously self-evident.

As a result, the command of the friend race has fallen into chaos as the Zerg continue to approach.

"Redistribute command units!"

Xu Yuan, the commander-in-chief of this campaign, the current president of the Military Academy, and the titular supreme commander of the Pengzu army, was a little unbearable. In the face of the approaching Zerg, the status quo of each unit's slow response, hit him with one punch. On the armrest of the seat, the idea of ​​rearranging the command structure on the battlefield popped up in his mind.

But doing so is quite dangerous.

When the distance between the two sides is 150 kilometers to [-] kilometers, it is okay. Under the ultra-long distance, both sides can see the whole picture of the opponent's army at a glance. Long-range bombardment only needs to be lined up in a formation like shooting to attack. .

At this time, it is good to be able to line up well, and to do some tricks or something. To be honest, for friends who are seriously inexperienced in super-large-scale battles, doing so is definitely a dead end.

Fortunately, the Zerg is not an enemy who likes to play tricks, and also adopted a frontal flat push tactic.

But when the distance exceeds 150 kilometers and the two sides get closer, more pressure begins to appear on the side of the friends.

Because the two sides will start actual contact, after the artillery fire has increased several times, what everyone needs to face is that the war units must start to consider the formation, formation, and individual unit evasion. In terms of terms, it is the problem of positioning.

At this time, with the previous general order of 'line up and shoot', the quarrel between the various frontline units alone is enough to make the people in the command center unable to do anything else.

"However, once the wartime division causes confusion..."

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan hesitated again.

If they continue to fight as they are now, their tasks can still be completed, but the damage will definitely not be small. However, if they do this, as commanders, they will only receive some criticism after the war.After all, it wasn't that he alone was inexperienced, it was that the entire group of friends hadn't noticed the problem of million-level super-large-scale battle command.

And if the command results are reorganized at this time, it may be possible to solve or at least alleviate the shortcomings of the friends, so as to reduce casualties while completing the mission, but it is more likely that the reorganization of the command structure will fail, resulting in greater casualties .

In prudence, they should obviously adopt a conservative strategy.

but……

"When the distance is 130 kilometers, the Zerg firepower increases by 700%, our firepower increases by 200%, and the casualties begin to increase."

The report from the command center resounded through the bridge, and Xu Yuan felt even more stressed when he saw the number of total troops on the screen of the data center starting to decline, and the number of red losses starting to increase on the side.

In space, loss is death. Even if there are priests who reap the souls of the dead, how many can be saved in this battlefield full of gunfire?

But as a commander, he had learned to live with the pressure.

"Report, Major General Chi Yu, the commander of the Fourth Mecha Corps, requests that the mecha group and the drone group be used separately!"

"what happened?"

Pulling back his thoughts, Xu Yuan, who unexpectedly found himself unable to do anything on such a large-scale battlefield, immediately ordered the correspondent to connect the network to Chiyu's side.

From an emotional point of view, Major General Chi Yu was obviously very restless at this time.

As the commander-in-chief of the general, Xu Yuan, who strictly required himself to deal with all changes calmly, frowned slightly.

Many of the newest commanders are those who were suddenly promoted to the Youshen level after the whole clan was upgraded. Even among those who were stable before, many of them became a little arrogant because of their sudden increase in strength, which made the current battle very difficult. Even more confusing.

To put it bluntly, he didn't like this feeling.

"Dean, the current situation is very bad. The command centers of each fleet were originally assigned to command twice the requirements of all the warships of the fleet and the auxiliary fleet of the mothership, but now they have to command at least ten times more units. It's simply overwhelmed!"

"Get to the point!" Xu Yuan interrupted the other party's speech a little rudely: "We all know these things, but now we are in a state of battle, and any changes may cause unforeseen..."

"But if this continues, when the enemy and us enter the [-]-kilometer range of contact warfare, the fleet command center will definitely not be able to cope with such a large-scale information exchange. You must know that in the friend network, even a few Yinshen elders can only It can only handle the information exchange of [-] units, but now they..."

"But now the change is more harmful. The command structure is fixed, and it suddenly changes..."

The emotions of the two of them obviously became agitated. While interrupting each other continuously, they were also constantly interrupted and complained by the other party.

Chi Yu took a deep breath, and finally ended the nonsense, and said seriously: "In fact, fine control is indeed very good, but the number of units should not exceed [-]. I propose to distribute according to this standard, and let the four fleets still command them The formation of battleships and motherships is enough, as for the independent drone group and mech group..."

After thinking for a few seconds, Chi Yu suggested: "Just like when we were in the army, the mecha groups were used as a small team to fight independently, but at the same time cooperate with each other. If we distribute them this way, everyone will have some experience so that there will be no confusion. "

"And the drone swarm..." Chi Yu was not very familiar with this thing, and he also became hesitant.

"Leave the drone group to the headquarters," Xu Yuan said after thinking about it.

As for the drone swarm, as the general commander, he obviously has a much deeper understanding than Chi Yu, the commander of the independent unit.

This time is different from any previous battle. The number of drones on the mothership is only so small, which is completely unable to meet the current war situation.Therefore, the technology department adjusted the drone production line, increasing the durability of the original drone at the cost of weakening certain aspects of capability, thus creating an independent drone.

This independent UAV no longer needs to return to the mothership for replenishment like the previous warship UAV, but can operate independently in space for a long time after an airport replenishment.

At this time, there were nearly 20 independent drone groups assigned to the army, which constituted the main force of this battle.

However, the command of drones is obviously much easier than that of humans, at least they will not doubt or even make self-judgment about orders.

Therefore, after withdrawing the command of independent drones from each fleet, but completely delegating the command of other units, the pressure on the general command has not increased, but has become clear.

And the combat effectiveness of each fleet has not been weakened by the stripping of the command authority of independent drones and mech groups, but because the command troops have returned to a familiar state, which makes the command communication smooth, thus making the fleet's operations easier. Quicken up.

At the same time, because the division of command power involves few command departments, it only needs a few orders and network transfers to complete, and it did not cause the expected confusion.

When the distance between the friends and insects reached [-] kilometers, Xu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the hundreds of thousands of friends who had become flexible: "The next step is to see our performance."
