Avoid the Strong, Attack the Weak
Yue Yuan knew that there were still ten Mountain-Class Warships at the Kun-Tai Civilization's Residential Spaceship, but he only sent Self-Detonating Drone and Self-Detonating Shuttle in the first wave of attack, and the second wave was a formation of Callisto-Class Warship and Escort Ship, without sending the Mountain-Class Warship.
The purpose of the raid was not to destroy the ten Mountain-Class Warships of the Kun-Tai Civilization, but to specifically target the Residential Spaceship.
Although there are ten Mountain-Class Warship guarding the area, if they coordinate well, they should be able to break through the defensive perimeter and sink the Residential Spaceship.
His purpose in doing this was simple: to make the main force of the Kun-Tai Civilization that broke into the asteroid have something to worry about, and to prevent them from focusing on the Asteroid Belt.
As for the Mount Wudang-Class Warship and Mount Emei-Class Warship, after conducting probing attacks and obtaining the armor and artillery parameters of the Kun-Tai Civilization Mountain-Class Warship, they will retreat to the Asteroid Belt and then, together with the Kunlun Mountain and Lyra fleets, engage in a fierce battle against the Kun-Tai Civilization fleet that is about to enter the Asteroid Belt.
Humanity has too few Mountain-Class Warship, only ten, while the Kun-Tai Civilization now has one hundred and ten warships that are about to break into the Asteroid Belt, which means that each warship has to fight eleven warships.
According to human simulations, it would take about a hundred Callisto-Class Warship to defeat one Mountain-Class Warship. Therefore, the numerical disparity is Yue Yuan's biggest challenge right now.
Furthermore, with the Kun-Tai Civilization launching a simultaneous attack from four directions, Yue Yuan felt a chill in his heart.
"What should we do? Should we divide the ten warships into four squadrons and send them to intercept the four Kun-Tai Civilization fleets?" This idea had barely popped into his head when Yue Yuan rejected it.
If we do that, it would really be a 1 vs 11 situation, leaving only the terrain advantage of the Asteroid Belt. Just thinking about it makes me feel like we can't win.
"Commander Yue, the first wave of self-destruct attack clusters has been triggered. It is expected to enter the effective range of the Energy Weapon of the two flotillas of the Kun-Tai Civilization in 3 minutes!" The communications officer broadcast the situation intelligence and quickly recorded this information in the combat system in real time.
"Order the second wave of attacks to depart in ten minutes. At the same time, all the remaining 1,500 Self-Detonating Shuttle will advance with the second wave of attacks. Tell the captains of the ten Callisto-Class Warships to create as much chaos as possible over there. There is no need to engage the enemy's ten Mountain-Class Warship head-on, but I want to see the fireworks of the Kun-Tai Civilization's Residential Spaceship." Yue Yuan immediately issued the second order.
"Yes!" the messenger replied and sent out Yue Yuan's order.
Because the communication delay from the Lyra to the Kun-Tai Civilization's Residential Spaceship reached 3.6 hours, Yue Yuan definitely couldn't provide any specific tactical commands for these two waves of attacks.
After the surprise attack, the success or failure will depend entirely on the abilities of the captains of the ten Callisto-Class Warships.
"Bring up the star map!" Yue Yuan immediately shouted.
After saying that, he turned around and looked up at the big screen.
Looking at the four flashing moving icons marked with the Kun-Tai Civilization warship squadrons, he then scanned the positions of the Kunlun-Class Warship formation, his own Lyra formation, and the far side of the Giant Gas Planet where the human Residential Spaceship was located.
After a few seconds, Yue Yuan looked at the Science Officer on the Lyra and, while gesturing on the star map, said, "Old Liu, if my fleet joins up with the Kunlun-Class Warship fleet and concentrates our forces to first block the enemy's central fleet, and then we detour to reinforce the Aldebaran-Kongming Star orbit to build a second line of defense, will we have enough time?"
The Science Officer who was looking at the star map with Yue Yuan understood what Yue Yuan meant. Without saying a word, he directly followed the route Yue Yuan had shown and input various parameters.
After the parameters were input, the Central Computer on the Lyra immediately provided an answer, "Commander Yue, theoretically we have enough time, but we must defeat the central army within three hours. Otherwise, based on their speed, their remaining two formations will reach Aldebaran-Kongming Star orbit before us."
"Three hours? The enemy's central fleet has fifty Mountain-Class Warship, and their flagship is there too. It won't be easy!" Yue Yuan shook his head.
Upon hearing this, the Science Officer continued, "Furthermore, Commander Yue, if we were to intercept the enemy's central fleet first, given the current positions of our Lyra fleet and the Kunlun-Class Warship, we would need to undertake a 3 million kilometer lateral maneuver, exposing ourselves to the enemy's line of sight before even engaging in combat."
Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan took a few steps inside the bridge, clearly also very anxious.
Indeed, as the Science Officer said, the previous deployment of the Kunlun-Class Warship and Lyra fleets was based on the assumption that the enemy would send out small detachments to conduct probing attacks from the left or right.
But now the enemy is advancing from four directions simultaneously. If we turn back to intercept the central army, we'll have to run a distance before we can get into firing range.
"Damn it, this Kun-Tai Civilization is such a bastard, it's insane!" Kun-Tai Civilization's recklessness made Yue Yuan curse its ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
He originally sent out the Mount Wudang-Class Warship and the Mount Emei-Class Warship not only as a visible formation, but also to create the appearance of luring the Lure the Enemy Deep, so that the Kun-Tai Civilization would worry that humans had a large number of ambushes on the shortest route in the middle. However, the Kun-Tai Civilization seemed to ignore this and became a reckless person who didn't care about luring the Lure the Enemy Deep the territory.
"Commander Yue, should we make a tactical change?" The Science Officer asked tentatively when he saw Yue Yuan's conflicted expression.
These words also brought Yue Yuan out of his reverie.
"No, proceed with the original plan and wait in ambush." Yue Yuan shook his head and said this, then shouted to the communications officer, "Connect me to Man Yuemei's communications."
"Commander Yue?" A moment later, Man Yuemei's mature female voice and image appeared on the bridge screen of the Lyra.
"Well, the enemy has unexpectedly divided its fleet into four groups that are advancing in parallel. We cannot simultaneously deploy our Main Battleship to intercept them, so our forces need to make some adjustments. My strategy is to attack two, delay one, and let one go."
Because there was a communication delay of about three minutes between Man Yuemei and Yue Yuan did not wait for a reply before speaking. Instead, he explained the strategy in one breath, "The so-called attack two, delay one, and release one means that your formation is responsible for intercepting the twenty enemy Mountain-Class Warship on the left, while my Lyra formation is responsible for intercepting the twenty enemy Mountain-Class Warship on the right."
Furthermore, the Mount Wudang-Class Warship and Emeishan fleets, along with their 100 Escort Ship and 20 Callisto-Class Warship, plus the Callisto-Class Warship and Escort Ship of my and your fleets as backup, are ordered to conduct harassment and delay tactics against the 50 Mountain-Class Warship of the Kun-Tai Civilization's central fleet.
As for the 20 Mountain-Class Warship on the other side of the Kun-Tai Civilization, they will be allowed to enter first, while our two fleets complete their interception mission, before turning back to fight back.
