The Storm Civilization is also a civilization with a long history and complete inheritance. It has also experienced the primitive era of ignorance, the slave era, and the feudal era. In these histories, there are also countless wonderful stories that happened, and countless heroic characters appeared like brilliant stars.
In an ancient era, there was a general who led a force far inferior to that of the enemy in a decisive battle with the enemy. As a result, because of the general's great reputation, the enemy thought that the general must be playing some conspiracy and that he must have ambushed a large number of troops in certain places. Therefore, they looked forward and backward during the battle and made many mistakes. In the end, they were defeated by less than one percent of their own forces.
The general became a prominent figure in history. His deeds are still circulated today.
How similar is the situation now to that time?
But Boyaro still firmly rejected Sirota's proposal.
"Different situations require different response strategies. We cannot rely on them mechanically. First of all, at this stage, we do not have enough long-range detection power to detect the reality of the enemy. Secondly, our resource reserves are insufficient and we cannot waste resources on the voyage. . In short, the enemy may indeed be deceiving us, but... what if it is true?"
"Consider failure before winning. Before making a decision, we need to first think about whether we can afford the consequences if we fail. Obviously, we cannot bear the consequences of turning to attack other planets but failing. So, I I have no choice but to give up." Sirota could only close her mouth.
He knew that there were times when President Boyaro would make a desperate move and risk everything, but he would never gamble unless the winning rate was so high that he was sure of it.
But now, the winning rate is obviously not that high.
"Then, President, now that the enemy's reinforcement fleet is about to arrive, what should we do?"
There is no other way.
At this moment, Boyaro finally made up his mind.
"Order, from now on, reduce the manufacturing proportion of large and medium-sized weapons. Increase the proportion of small and micro weapons to 80%. We must use a sufficient number of small and micro weapons to overwhelm the enemy's automatic defense weapon defense line, so that their replenishment can no longer Can’t keep up with the losses.”
Originally, he didn't want to make this decision so early. He hoped that he could wait for a while and wait for the war situation to become clearer before deciding on the next strategy and tactics. But now, there is not so much time for him to wait.
Once enemy reinforcements arrive, the war schedule will be extended to an unacceptable level. Before reinforcements arrive, breaking through the defense line of Planet 2 and occupying this planet is the only way to allow our side to take the strategic initiative.
However, it now seems that the only way to help them achieve this strategic goal is the torrent of small and micro weapons.
As a result, quietly, some minor changes occurred in the interstellar battlefield with the planet H1-2 as the core.
The giant explosions that were as bright as stars, enough to illuminate all the space in a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, quietly decreased, and were replaced by smaller explosions that were more numerous but whose average power was much reduced.
Electromagnetic gun projectiles, micro-missiles and ground-penetrating missiles, stealth missiles, stealth mines, and so on.
Endless small micro-weapons with a maximum diameter of no more than one decimeter and a mass of no more than 100 grams are rushing towards the planet like a tide. They use extremely high speed, extremely small size, special invisible paint and specially designed propulsion devices to find any possibility of breaking through human defense lines.
There is a truth that is universally applicable. The favorite of all defensive equipment must be weapons that are large in size, high in quality and slow in speed. Because this kind of thing is the easiest to intercept.
On the other hand, weapons that are small in size, low in mass and fast in speed are the least likely to be intercepted.
This is true for human civilization, and it is also true for storm civilization.
It is for this reason that the oldest method of killing - kinetic energy impact, whose lethality is not very strong - electromagnetic gun projectiles still have a place in interstellar warfare until today, and no other type of weapon can replace it.
Because it is the most consistent with this standard.
After Storm Civilization greatly adjusted its tactics, Boyaro and Sirota were delighted to see the results.
They clearly saw that the defense network, which was originally unbreakable and covered the entire planet like a huge net that could withstand almost any attack, was crumbling under the impact of their own torrent.
Every second, countless planetary defense turrets tasked with node defense are hit by the torrent of small and micro-weapons, and then either roll away from their positions, or burst into flames, or completely lose their movement.
Sometimes it even happens that it burns out due to "overloading".
There are too many small and micro weapons sweeping through. There are too many micro-weapons that need defense. These planetary defense turrets have to continuously fire laser beams at high frequency and high power, or launch electromagnetic gun projectiles for impact. Even though at the beginning of the design, engineers had reserved enough safety redundancy, no one could consider it. One day, they will take on such heavy defensive tasks.
So they become "overloaded" and burn themselves out.
Moreover, Boyaro can clearly feel through the data that the speed of replenishing the equipment of these planetary defense nodes on the human side is slowing down.
Its absolute speed has not slowed down, but its relative speed has. Just like, if you replenish 10,000 before, you can replenish 80%. Currently, 10,000 are still being replenished, but they only account for 40% of the entire replenishment task.
Too many facilities were destroyed. The speed of destruction exceeds the speed of replenishment.
This is a good sign.
At this moment, Boyaro, who always looked solemn, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Order, prepare for large and medium-sized anti-matter high-speed missile attack. Once the gap in the planet's defense system is large enough, launch the missile immediately
Boyaro's ultimate goal is not the shipyards, bases, factories and the like hidden under the planet's defense network. Not even the roller bases or food production bases that obviously housed many enemy civilians.
His ultimate goal is the planet itself.
The reason is simple. Are those docks, bases, factories, roller bases, and grain centers important?
important.
But is it important enough to be the first priority?
no
In particular, under the planetary defense network, these bases, docks, and factories must have secondary defenses. They even have certain defensive functions themselves. Under this situation, even if one's own side penetrates the planet's defense network and destroys a few of these facilities, large-scale destruction cannot be achieved in a short time.
However, does it make sense to destroy only a small part of these facilities?
It makes little sense.
The only thing that is easier to do and has great strategic significance is the planet itself.
It is so big that if you tear out a defensive gap at will, you can send weapons that can affect its entire body.
It's not difficult to use only a few weapons to affect the whole. A large-yield anti-matter missile is enough to cause violent earthquakes that affect the entire planet.
And this can destroy most of the enemy's factories hidden thousands of meters underground, whether they are steel plants, nuclear fusion power plants, antimatter plants, chemical plants, machinery plants, etc.!
What is the enemy's biggest reliance on holding on so far?
Are they those shipyards and factories in orbit around the planet?
Yes and no.
They are of course extremely important. Without these things, the enemy would not have enough war materials to support this planetary defense war. However, going one step further and being more basic, what is it that supports these shipyards and factories?
They are the mines, smelters, steel plants, fusion power plants, and antimatter plants hidden underground on the planet.
They are the most basic and important, supporting the foundation of this planetary defense war from the most fundamental place!
Destroy them, and what will the enemy use to manufacture combat readiness supplies? What will the enemy use to replenish the planetary defense network?
As long as a large-yield anti-matter missile can be sent to this planet, this strategic goal will be achieved!
Now, after our own side has adjusted its tactics and launched a torrent of small and micro weapons, the enemy's planetary defense network is about to be torn apart, and soon, very soon, large-yield anti-matter missiles can be sent in.
Obviously, the enemy also noticed this. Now, they are still desperately maintaining the existence of the planet's defense network and still desperately resisting attacks from their own side. but
useless.
The war situation is developing in an unstoppable manner, rapidly developing in a direction that is not conducive to human civilization.
Among the Space Force flagships, Hu Xiaohua looked grim, but sweat was gradually dripping from his back.
The current situation has become worse than he imagined.
A torrent of small and micro weapons! This is really a stroke of genius. There are such outstanding strategic and tactical masters in the Storm Civilization. On such a battlefield, they can be so keen to find their own weaknesses and correct them according to the changes in the battlefield situation. use!
Relying on the excellence of tactics to reverse the unfavorable situation at the strategic level is something that almost only exists in theory. At this moment, it was actually demonstrated in front of Hu Xiaohua.
If we lose the supply of supplies from this planet, then our current defense strength cannot be maintained for long. However, once it cannot be maintained, the entire line of defense will collapse!
But what surprised him was that General Qin Hu still remained calm at this moment.
"Commander Hu Xiaohua, haven't you always been curious about what the back-up plan the leader and I have arranged? Just watch, you will know it soon.
At this moment, the storm mother ship.
Boyaro slowly opened his mouth.
"Order, prepare high-yield anti-matter missiles, countdown to five hours.
According to the current situation, in about five hours, the enemy's planetary defense network will be torn open enough to allow large-yield anti-matter interstellar missiles to pass through.
But at this moment, he accidentally saw a piece of data hidden in the corner that usually had no value at all.
Those are some geological data that describe the activity of the core of Planet 2 and the stability of the crust through remote observation.
This data has little value, so it is hidden in corners.
But now, this reminded him of something.
He was stunned, and the next moment, it was like a thunderbolt sounded in his mind. One sentence came out of his mouth.
"Oops! We've been fooled again!"
