Chapter 1668: Lawnes\' concerns
“If it is placed before, we have obtained control of the star field near Higgs 3, and seeing their equally large fleet, it is really possible to consider ending the battle.” Sorens seemed to laugh at himself and said so.
After speaking, he firmly squeezed his fist and spoke loudly to all his subordinates: “But now, we have received the oracle! So…”
As he said, he walked to the huge projection that showed the situation of both sides, and his determination remained unchanged: “So this battle will not end! It will only continue to expand and continue! Until one side collapses!”
Finally, he pointed his finger at the front line of the fierce battle between the two sides, and issued an order: “Press another fleet! I want to see and see if the opposing commander named Lawnes has the courage to fight back… I!”
…
“Counter-attack? Are you kidding me!” Lawnes smiled and shook his head: “Madias is not the only one in this world who can be a turtle.”
“Knowing that things can’t be done, I reluctantly attacked. That is what madmen and fools do. I, Lawnes, is neither crazy nor stupid. Why do I want to make a desperate move?” He said and looked at his chief of staff.
The chief of staff smiled awkwardly, and said: “In fact, the staff are also worried that the marshal will be unconvinced, so kindly reminded.”
“This is your responsibility! It’s what you should do.” Lawnes smiled and nodded: “Don’t worry, I know the importance.”
While talking, he pointed to the area of engagement between the two armies on the holographic map: “The enemy is looking forward to expanding the area of contact. I definitely won’t give them this opportunity.”
However, when it comes to this, he is still very worried: “However, the enemy will soon realize that either actively forcing me to counterattack or passively waiting for my counterattack is actually just a second-rate choice.”
“Yes, I am also worried that the enemy will choose a tactic that makes us more passive after the frontal failed attempt to penetrate our defense line.” The chief of staff naturally knew what Lawnes was talking about and nodded worriedly.
It’s actually very simple. The current situation is actually caused by the caretaker. The other party thought from the beginning, relying on his own troops, to penetrate the defense line of the Ailan Hill Empire in one breath, and solve the problem once and for all.
However, when the guards realized that the Ailan Hill Empire line of defense was monolithic and that the reserve team had not been used up to now, they would find a way to change their tactics.
This is the universe, a vast universe that can extend infinitely. Once the guards spread their forces and began to expand to the flanks of the Alanhill Empire’s defense line, the Alanhill Empire had no choice but to extend its defense line.
At that time, Lawnes had no good way to solve the problem of too long battle lines.
Then why didn’t the guards spread their forces like this before? Because the Ailanhill Empire has always been dominant before!
Yes! You read that right, in fact, in the previous battles of the Ailan Hill Empire, the combat power has always been the side that maintained the advantage.
Although slightly less in number, the battleships of the Ailan Hill Empire are significantly higher than those of the Wardens in terms of overall combat power.
Because of this, the guards often need several warships to fight against a battleship of the Ailan Hill Empire, so that the guardian’s military advantage is not obvious.
In this case, if the guards actively dilute the thickness of the formation and forcibly extend the line of defense, it will only make the entire formation vulnerable. The Ailanhill Empire has an absolute advantage in combat effectiveness in any part and cannibalize the guards. The speed of the fleet will only be faster.
Therefore, in the previous battles, the guards were all assembled forces to rush into the formation with a heavy formation, and the active attack was only to prevent the Ailan Hill Empire from gathering troops to counterattack.
But now, the number of guards has accumulated a qualitative change, and they have a choice.
As long as the commanders of the Watchers are willing, they can begin to expand their forces to the two wings, threatening the flanks of the Airanhill Empire fleet.
“Looking at it now, the enemy hasn’t thought about it, or relied on its superiority to disdain to use the tactics of outflanking the wings.” Lawnes pointed to the map and said: “They are still trying to break through the center. This is good news for us.”
“This is why you are unwilling to join the reserve team up to now?” the chief of staff asked.
“Yes, if the enemy changes, I have to follow suit. The only thing I can mobilize now is the Royal Guard 1st Fleet, which is your Majesty’s fleet.” Lawnes nodded. Said to the chief of staff: “If it is not a last resort, this force must be held in hand.”
“What I am worried about is that we won’t be able to withstand it until the enemy’s wings are outflanked.” The chief of staff is still worried: “The battle on the front line is very hard. We have already lost a lot of warships.”
“It’s not surprising when the first line of defense collapses, but we have to delay as much as possible.” Lawnes insisted, staring at the shining spots on the map, with amazing determination.
He knows that this time is a competition of wills. As long as he and his troops can persist until more reinforcements arrive, the situation will eventually get better.
“And! My knife is still in my hand. The enemy looks aggressive now, but it’s actually uncomfortable, isn’t it?” Turning his gaze to the other side of the battlefield, Lawnes said again.
Following his gaze, the Chief of Staff saw that the slayed flanks were in chaos, and there was a huge squadron on the flanks of the Guardian fleet.
That was the Gundam unit of the Ailan Hill Empire, the tenacious experimental fleet that had been fighting for more than 5 hours.
Although it is an experimental fleet, it has gathered countless elites, coupled with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and they have created spectacular results in this battle.
No one knows what kind of honor they will get if they can come back after this battle. But everyone knows that they are the only troops in the entire army of the Ailan Hill Empire that are still maintaining an offensive posture!
This force is the steel needle hidden in Lawnes Mian. Although it does not seem deadly, it really brings a bit of life to the entire Ailan Hill Empire defense line!
After all, if you really fall into the situation of full-line defense, then you are really passively beaten, and the impact on the commander’s determination is completely different.
“Look at them! See if they can do miracles!” Lawnes said with his hands behind his back–
Readers, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
