Space is three-dimensional, not flat. In this battle between interception and breakout, for the Storm Fleet, if they want to bypass the interception and return to the base camp, there is of course more than one route.
They have many, many choices. For example, there are countless routes, up, down, left, right, or even forward a certain distance and then go around again.
But one thing to note is that these countless routes always face an obstacle. Because the enemy intercepting fleet is also maneuverable. No matter which route the Storm Fleet finally chooses to break out, they will face the human fleet hot on their heels.
No matter what, you have to defeat, defeat, or destroy the enemy before you can escape.
The frontline commander of the Storm Fleet took a deep breath.
He left the overall plan of the battlefield and came to the three-dimensional view.
Compared with the overall plan view of the battlefield that allows him to grasp the overall situation, the three-dimensional view makes it easier for him to grasp the detailed trends of the battlefield.
At this moment, according to the ratio of one to one hundred million, the three-dimensional projection that is scaled down roughly accurately shows the true appearance of the battlefield at this moment.
This includes all space with the h1-3 planet as the core and millions of kilometers around it. Correspondingly, this three-dimensional projection covers an area of more than one thousand square meters.
Such a huge real-life map of the battlefield may be inconvenient for humans to observe. But there is no obstacle to the intelligent life of Storm Civilization. Their eyesight is enough to see every detail in the real scene.
At this moment, the commander stood next to the real-life picture and looked at the h1-3 planet in the middle of the real-life picture. After being scaled down, the diameter was only a little over one meter. He looked at the planets surrounding it with the same diameter. After zooming out, there are only many satellites ranging from a few centimeters to a decimeter.
The enemy fleet and our own fleet that have been discovered so far are also marked in the three-dimensional real-life map according to the actual distribution. It's just that their size has been intentionally expanded. Otherwise, if they were reduced in the same proportion, no matter how large the warship was, it would be too small and would not be visible to the naked eye.
Also, due to the serious damage to our intelligence network at the moment, these identifications may not be real-time or complete.
However, even the scene that appeared in front of him at this moment could only be achieved by the cooperation of millions of reconnaissance satellites and thousands of staff.
Behind this simple real-life picture is the hard work and efforts of countless people.
The commander saw that currently, both his own fleet and the enemy fleet were crowded in a certain area in the upper left corner of the real-life map. In this area, two satellites, h1-3-7, the planet's seventh moon, and h1-3-16, are slowly passing through.
Through observation, he could clearly see that the enemy fleet was distributed into about 18 squadrons, each occupying a position. Its total strength is approximately 40,000 warships.
Overall, the number of enemy warships is only about half of our own, and their average combat power is lower than our own. But that doesn't mean this breakout will be easy. Because we also need to consider the impact of automated weapons on the galaxy defense system
The enemy has been operating in this galaxy for hundreds of years. After hundreds of years of accumulation, how many forts can it build? How many interstellar missiles and launchers can it store? How many mines can it lay and how many satellites can it drop?
This all needs to be considered comprehensively.
Overall, there should be hope for our side to break through. But the process requires careful consideration and careful arrangement.
Once you have suffered a loss, you must not suffer a second time. The enemy's strategic deception that took so long to make, and his own insensitivity and underestimation of the enemy, can only take effect once, and it will be absolutely impossible the second time.
As a commander above the standard, he showed sufficient professionalism at this moment. He had eliminated all the negative effects of the previous failure in his mind and put all his energy into the subsequent battle.
With the help of some data that had been obtained previously, such as the enemy's firepower configuration, maneuverability, and arrangement of the star defense system, the commander closed his eyes and began to make calculations in his mind.
After having the preliminary results, he input the data into the real scene map and started the simulation.
Many staff officers and senior officers surrounded him, constantly discussing and recording.
In the real scene, one's own fleet begins to advance forward. Immediately, a total of four squadrons numbered 7th, 9th, etc. at the corresponding positions began to face the enemy head-on, and the remaining squadrons moved forward accordingly and began to provide fire support. At the same time, numerous light spots almost everywhere were like chaotic mosquitoes and flies, moving chaotically in and around the battlefield.
"Did this Locke civilization put all the automated weapons accumulated in the civilization here?"
A staff officer was indignant and cursed in a low voice.
The automated weapons represented by those light spots made him feel very bored.
The commander ignored his complaints and tried another tactic. He also began to split up his own fleet and send some of it forward in an attempt to pressure the enemy and draw firepower. So the enemy fleet also began to maneuver accordingly.
Of course, it is impossible for our side to fully grasp the enemy's true movements. However, it can still be indirectly affected through one's own actions and military rules. The enemy's movements shown in the actual battlefield map are the enemy's most likely action method determined by the staff team's collaboration with model simulations and mathematical calculations.
Under our own constant attempts, our fleet and the enemy fleet were scattered and mixed together. The entire battlefield is like a chaotic whole, looking extremely messy. But the commander's eyes gradually brightened.
He found a tactical loophole of the enemy! A tactical loophole that can be exploited by his own side!
Under constant forward pressure, the enemy has too few troops and a large area to defend, so he has to run exhausted and constantly carry out large-scale maneuvers. During this process, in a certain area at the lower left of the real battlefield, the enemy's defensive strength will be reduced to the limit, and most of the defensive tasks will be undertaken by automatic defense weapons.
At that time, I can completely break out from there with the help of more powerful mobility!
The commander does not believe that some automatic defense weapons can stop his fleet!
"Just fight like this!"
At this moment, Commander Hu Xiaohua, the flagship of the Seventh Army Fleet, was also frowning and thinking hard in front of the three-dimensional battlefield scene.
At this moment, the Seventh Army Fleet and the Eighth Army Fleet have indeed maneuvered into place, blocking the enemy fleet's retreat. But it can be foreseen that what we will face next will be waves of fierce attacks from the enemy.
The enemy has more warships than ours and is more technologically advanced than ours. Even with the galactic defense system that has been in operation for hundreds of years, it is not easy to stop them.
"The enemy has launched a general attack!"
After seeing the enemy's movements, Hu Xiaohua and the entire staff and command team were once again highly concentrated. Instructions were generated quickly, and the entire fleet acted in an orderly manner, seemingly in chaos.
At this moment, the millions of kilometers surrounding the h1-3 planet are all within the battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of warships are fiercely confronting each other. Millions of satellites of various types are flying around, shuttling back and forth. I don’t know how many trillions of interstellar mines are watching in the dark, ready to die with the enemy at any time. Lasers are shuttled between the stars. The tail flame of the missile burned everything, and the fluctuations from the quantum level caused by the vacuum cannon destroyed all tangible and invisible matter within the coverage area.
The battle has undoubtedly entered its most intense and intense stage.
But...if there is a person on the battlefield at this moment, what he sees is still the quiet starry sky that is almost the same as before.
The huge gas giant planet rotates slowly, and many satellites revolve around it, as always.
He could see almost nothing but the vast starry sky. He couldn't see the numerous battleships, the tail flames of missiles, the roar of vacuum cannons and the indestructible power of laser cannons, nor could he feel the roar of interstellar mines and turrets.
He can't see anything.
At most, the stars in a certain direction seemed to flicker, as if something had affected the progress of the light. Suddenly there was a flash of light in a certain direction, fleeting, like a shooting star. Or, a certain asteroid within sight suddenly shattered into powder.
This is the only detail that shows that a battle is underway here.
There are no battleships swarming up, no spaceships from different camps chasing each other in the chaotic battlefield, no thrilling pursuits like racing cars, nothing.
Space combat is a real beyond-visual-range combat. The distance between any two spaceships, even those of the same camp, will never be less than 3,000 kilometers in combat. The diameter of the entire battlefield is hundreds of thousands of millions of kilometers, and the corresponding volume is tens of billions of cubic kilometers. No matter how many battleships or interstellar mines there are, scattered in such a vast space, they are still like a drop of water falling into the sea.
This is the fighting method of a new generation of space warfare that completely surpasses all previous eras.
The Storm Civilization has already adapted to this fighting method. Now it seems that in the simulated training and military exercises day after day, year after year, human civilization has also become extremely adaptable to this fighting method.
Now, this interstellar war, which was almost completely obscured by the dark universe, has come to an end for the time being.
Hu Xiaohua was very happy to see that his side finally blocked the enemy's surging attack like a tide. However, in the Storm Civilization flagship, the frontline commander also had a smile on his face.
He was very pleased to see that due to his own actions, the enemy's troop deployment was changing in the direction he wanted.
