1690. War of Dawn (8)

Countless frigate-level small battleships are wreaking havoc among the Republic fleet, besieging every Republic Jaeger-class battlecruiser. The Jaeger class could only barely resist with their meager firepower, and even took off fighter formations while resisting.

That's right, even in the current establishment of the Republic's fleet, it is almost impossible to fully carry carrier-based aircraft. Basically, a Jaeger class can only carry about 200 fighter jets. However, the shortcomings of the Jaeger-class itself have not been solved - that is, the very low take-off efficiency.

Because if you want to fully expand the hangar platform, it means exposing huge weaknesses. But if it is not fully deployed and can only take off the fighter jets bit by bit, how long will it take to complete the flight of more than 200 fighter jets?

Anyway, since the frigate sea of ​​the Principality of Dawn launched its attack, most of the Jaeger-class battlecruisers have not yet taken off all their fighter jets.

So these warships could only take off fighter jets while avoiding attacks and firing at the same time. Moreover, the captains of these warships are still struggling with the issue of whether to close the hangar platform.

What's even worse is that as more fighter jets run out of ammunition and fuel, more and more fighter jets want to return! But at this time, those Jaeger-class battlecruisers were still taking off fighter jets, occupying all the limited take-off space!

Chaos began to spread, and in the end even the flight control department was unable to effectively command the fighter formations of its own warships!

Because some fighter jets could not land on this warship, they flew to other warships in desperation to request landing, completely disrupting the organization!

In fact, each warship and the carrier-based aircraft in it are an independent command system. Fighter formations will be organized and divided within the warship, and then after taking off for combat, they will also accept unified coordination and command from the ship's flight control center. Only in this way will there be no confusion.

It's just like some people's comments about the Battle of Midway, saying that Nagumo only needs two aircraft carriers to be responsible for landing, and two aircraft carriers are responsible for taking off. It's just as stupid. Because once this is done, the fighter formation can maintain combat effectiveness without causing chaos. Basically, only Gestalt consciousness can do it. Because this is equivalent to disrupting the entire fighter formation and then reintegrating it.

Discipline and organization are always the most necessary conditions for ensuring the combat effectiveness of the regular army.

The fatal problem facing the fighter formations of the Republic Fleet now is that they can no longer maintain an effective organization and have almost no discipline at all!

When Casio Tagg faced the siege of more than 4,000 frigates and almost the same number of fighter jets, the decision he made in a hurry was the most correct decision, but also the most wrong decision.

Taking off fighter formations to deal with enemy fleets of small battleships is understandable and is a standard tactic written into the textbooks of the Republic Naval Academy.

However, Casio Tagg ignored the performance limitations of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser itself!

The result is that the efficiency of take-off fighter jets is not high, and it is almost impossible to recover fighter jets. The firing is affected by the surrounding fighter jets that are taking off and landing. What about defense? The hangar platform is wide open. Anyone who has been to kindergarten will know that the opponent is going to shoot into the big hole on the hangar platform.

Excellent commanders will know how to learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, and try to maximize the advantages and characteristics of their warships. Such as Severance Tann.

A mediocre commander will only forcefully apply dogma based on his own subjective assumptions. No matter how excellent the warship is, it will only be used as a different weapon.

The Jaeger-class battlecruiser, a battleship with outstanding advantages and disadvantages, became a waste under the command of Casio Tagg!

But is the Jaeger-class really useless? In the face of the endless new warships of the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Principality of Dawn, the warships that can still persist to this day, the proud work of talented designer Willix Blissex, are naturally not waste.

Another Jäger-class battlecruiser's shields were broken, the armored belt was besieged by more than 200 frigates, and fires broke out almost everywhere. The battleship lost control visibly to the naked eye, the gravity gyro failed, and the ship began to tilt... Then a large ball of flames mixed with a large amount of debris and thick smoke erupted from the engine nozzle, and then completely lost power.

However, the frigates still did not give up. They continued to bombard the Jaeger-class battlecruiser for several minutes until the bridge of the battleship was completely destroyed before they dispersed to attack other targets.

As the battle progresses, Casio Tag has completely lost command of the fleet. The chaotic battlefield made his mind go blank, and he didn't even know what he should do now to save the defeat.

But maybe it was God's favor, and the chance for him to save the defeat finally came!

I only saw a violent flash of white light outside the gas giant planet Endor, followed by 30 Jaeger-class battlecruisers jumping out of hyperspace and arriving on the battlefield!

C battle group!

They arrived at the battlefield more than 3 hours earlier than scheduled!

If they had followed the original plan, they would have only been able to collect the corpses of the two battle groups A and B when they came here, and at the same time, they would have put themselves in to face the entire defense fleet of the Dawn Principality in full force.

But now that they have arrived, the two battle groups A and B have not been completely paralyzed, and they still have the strength to fight!

Seeing the arrival of battle group C, Casio Tagg's gloomy eyes finally shone with passion! He rushed over, grabbed the communicator, and almost roared loudly: "Battle Group C! Be on alert immediately! Take off fighter jets in batches! Maintain a long-range shooting posture!!"

After all, he was a top student in the military academy, so he finally made the most correct judgment.

There are also 30 Jaeger-class battlecruisers. As long as they stabilize their position and take off fighter jets in batches to avoid chaos, they can indeed pose the most lethal threat to those motley crews with small frigates as the main force!

As for his two battle groups AB, there are still Jaeger-class battlecruisers with certain combat capabilities. After all, there are still 42 ships. As long as these 42 warships are allowed to break through in the direction of battle group C and join forces, the outcome is still uncertain!

However, at the same time that the 30 Hunter-class ships of Battle Group C arrived, Tang Xiao, the Grand Duke of Dawn, was already watching them on the holographic star map through sensor signals.

In the holographic projection next to Tang Xiao, it was the Governor of the Model Sector—Volgograd Canidi!

"Didn't they think carefully about why these reinforcements could successfully reach the Endor system?" Canidy said coldly, "Why couldn't it be that we deliberately turned off the hyperspace disruptor in a specific area?"

"Keep on performing, Canidy. So far, you have done a good job." Tang Xiao put his hands behind his back and did not look directly at Canidy, his tone was a little cold.

"I will protect the Model Sector! I will also protect the border of the Fourth Civilization! Until forever!" Volgograd-Kanidi said firmly.

Tang Xiao's face turned away from him, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"All battleships! Break out toward Battle Group C! Kill!!" On the other side, Casio Tagg also issued a breakout order.
