2808. A thousand-mile collapse (Part 2)
The adjutant pointed at the holographic combat star map and said, "Imperial fleet's attack is starting to become a little aggressive."
"They must have also received the news that Gideon-Tarkin was killed... At this time, if they cannot complete the previous tactical concept, then this will be a humiliating defeat." Lin Nanyi also understood this.
He quickly called up the real-time track map of the enemy fleet and found that more than a hundred battleships had been separated from Imperial fleet and were moving towards the D-37 gap in an unusually tight wedge-shaped array at high speed - this was not the chaos he expected, but a desperate decapitation assault!
Lin Nanyi's pupils shrank suddenly. "They are going to attack our left wing from this direction! We cannot let them break through! Let Calamity-class battlecruiser immediately provide long-range fire support!"
"General! Imperial fleet is also taking a detour to the right wing!" the adjutant said loudly.
"Reinforcement is also on the right wing!" Lin Nanyi ordered almost subconsciously, "Send two Divinity-class battleship ships over!"
Then he froze, and suddenly realized, what on earth was he doing? How stupid!
"General, this can't go on! Our formation is being attacked everywhere. There are too many imperial warships! We can't stop them at all!" the adjutant said, "Otherwise, we should continue to retreat!"
"No! You can't retreat!" Lin Nanyi almost roared.
No retreat! His brain has sobered up a lot. After leaving Sefrans-Tann, he focused too much on politics and his romance with Feng Lisi, and neglected the most basic military judgment.
Even in the last battle with the Eye of Palpatine, General Grievous had beaten him, but he soon began to worry about how to introduce the power of the company to eliminate the ubiquitous Rebel Alliance. He did not regain the military command aspect.
Faced with such a dilemma at this moment, his judgment, which had been carefully taught by Sefrans-Tann, finally took over the high ground.
We can't retreat! He made this judgment instantly. Moreover, we can't tear down the east wall to repair the west wall like this! The empire's fleet already has an absolute advantage, so falling into the opponent's rhythm will cause a total collapse of the entire line.
What to do? What to do?
Lin Nanyi gritted her teeth and thought wildly in her mind. If it was Sefrans-General Tann, how would she break the situation? What if... it was General Grievous?
Wait a minute!
Just now General Grievous said, launch a counterattack?
Lin Nanyi suddenly felt as if he had captured something. When he first heard General Grievous talking about counterattack, he just thought it was said casually by this violent general, because the General Grievous in his impression was such a violent image.
However, now that I think about it, none of General Grievous's words were nonsense. He launched a counterattack and had a deeper meaning!
Suddenly a bright light lit up in his heart, and Lin Nanyi punched the hollow plastic plate with a loud, crisp sound!
"I understand! Organize the entire army immediately and prepare to counterattack!" Lin Nanyi said decisively.
"General? Our troops can no longer hold the current defense line. How can we counterattack?" The adjutant was extremely surprised.
"No more defense! Concentrate all the troops, and this ship will rush forward and charge first! Launch a counterattack!" Lin Nanyi said sternly, "The target is the D-37 area!"
He quickly ordered all warships to abandon their existing positions. At the same time, using his flagship, Illumination Divinity-class battleship, as an arrow, the other four Oracle-class were lined up on the left and right, launching a crazy counterattack against Imperial fleet!
The D-37 direction is the first direction where Imperial fleet launches a charge, and it is also the direction where the attack is most determined.
And he will lead his fleet to completely smash this Imperial fleet!
The five Divinity-class battleships immediately launched a counterattack, and six flagship-level high-energy laser arrays flashed continuously, shining on the imperial warships with devastating energy.
Imperial fleet in this area originally saw that Kingdom of Dawn fleet had begun to retreat, and was about to pursue the victory to expand the results. However, it was hit head-on by five Divinity-class battleship!
The five Oracle-class gave up their positions and allowed the imperial warships from other directions to penetrate as they pleased, while they just stared at the Imperial fleet protrusion in the D-37 area and attacked fiercely.
Not only that, Kingdom of Dawn battleships from other directions also began to move towards the D-37 area from all directions.
At this moment, a surprising scene happened!
Logically speaking, Lin Nanyi led the fleet to turn in front of the formation, gave up his flanks and rear, and attacked with all his strength. This behavior was completely seeking death.
Because Imperial fleet can completely let the fleet in the D-37 area defend where it is, and then other fleets can encircle it from another direction. It can completely surround the fleet of Lin Nanyi, and then attack from the side and rear. Once this happens, Calamity-class battlecruiser and Typhoon-class battlecruiser, who are supported by long-range firepower behind Kingdom of Dawn, will be directly threatened, and the situation will collapse instantly.
However, Imperial fleet at this moment did not do this at all. Imperial sub-fleet in the D-37 area, after discovering that he was fully attacked by Kingdom of Dawn fleet, turned around and ran away without hesitation. Lin Nanyi ordered to pursue him. In this way, Imperial fleet, who was outflanking from other directions, was left behind.
But this is just the beginning.
Lin Nanyi ordered all Typhoon-class battlecruiser and Calamity-class battlecruiser to concentrate firepower and bombard continuously! Countless Phase missile and Particle Beam Lance were shot out like raindrops, and the direction of Imperial fleet D-37 suddenly suffered an extremely brutal blow.
The escaping Imperial fleet was immediately completely dispersed by powerful artillery fire!
At this time, the D-37 fleet in front of them collapsed almost instantly, and more than ten Imperial-class Star Destroyers were blown to pieces by Kingdom of Dawn warships.
This tragic scene stimulated other directions, and those imperial warships began to slow down and did not continue to resolutely attack the flank of Lin Nanyi.
These imperial warships began to cower, and the originally sharp all-out attack was instantly disintegrated.
Seeing these imperial warships as if they were enchanted, the adjutant was stunned, "What happened? General Lin."
Lin Nanyi showed a confident smile that he had not seen for a long time, "They are trying to protect themselves. Hahahaha...Gideon-Tarkin is dead. Originally, they shared the same hatred and wanted to avenge Gideon. This is right. They will attack us with all their strength and completely defeat us. Finally, they can give Imperial Center an explanation."
He pointed at the holographic star map and continued, "However, once they find that the attacking fleet has been attacked head-on, they will think about it... is it worth it? Yes, Gideon-Tarkin is already dead. If it takes their own lives, wouldn't it be a big loss? Of course, an all-out attack will definitely win, but the premise is that the person who dies cannot be themselves!"
"I understand. When Gideon-Tarkin dies, the group is leaderless and loses unified command. And the only power those battleship captains control is their battleships. No one wants to die to make wedding clothes for others!" The adjutant suddenly realized.
"This is why General Grievous asked me to launch a counterattack!" Lin Nanyi said in a deep voice.
Then he waved his hand suddenly and said loudly, "Continue to attack! Continue to pursue the remnants of Imperial fleet in the D-37 area! Let them fully understand that warships that actively attack will die!"
