Chapter 161: Chapter 121: The Enemy Is Already Close

Even the intermittent non-continuous signals in the interstellar space have a very low probability of being received.

But ultimately, this presents a higher probability of exposure than direct destruction.

However, if too many reconnaissance warships are destroyed, the Worren fleet at the rear will likewise be alerted.

This is the greatest difficulty in achieving the previously mentioned strategic objectives.

If reconnaissance units could be easily captured or controlled, their necessity in interstellar combat wouldn’t be as high. But due to the threat of Daike Base, this is a strategic objective that the Human Fleet must strive to achieve.

Some warriors have already realized that they will likely face an interstellar boarding invasion battle.

The entire operation must be swift, efficient, and completely control the enemy warships in the shortest time possible.

Honestly, for the Cosmic Fleet’s first battle to use such informal classic tactics, these senior commanders feel the pressure.

However, they are also very certain that if they win, and win beautifully, it will become the most memorable first battle of their entire career!

Perhaps even something to brag about for a lifetime!

"First, we need to identify the first target." After Shen Shi introduced the basic concept of the Curvature Bubble battlefield operations, he directly got to the point.

Their warships are also equipped with Primordial Energy Detectors, and as they get closer, the probability and accuracy of detection will increase.

Especially since they have locked onto the enemy’s approximate position.

Through current detection and records from the Future World, the Worren Fleet’s reconnaissance units can generally be divided into four squads, along with numerous scattered free-floating reconnaissance warships.

It’s a basic and typical interstellar reconnaissance unit line-up.

Each squad has about fifty to eighty warships. Overall, the formation is one in front, two at the rear, and one at the tail, forming a four-corner diamond shape.

This flat reconnaissance formation often indicates that it has an unmasked clear navigation target.

Its forward path is roughly on the same plane as the target.

Looking at the Star Map, it’s clear that the target is Blue Star.

This lack of disguise clearly shows that, in the Worren’s data, the information still treats Blue Star as only a primitive life planet. Even if it has developed intelligent civilization, it’s just Earth Star level natives, and even if they’ve entered interstellar space, they’ve only just entered such a level.

Perfect for an E-level nomadic fleet like theirs to cultivate.

And such recognition is undoubtedly more advantageous for the Human Fleet.

"Typical formation must have a typical way to break it." Shen Shi didn’t directly state it but instead looked at these senior commanders in front of him, "You should know which reconnaissance squad we should deal with first."

"Report!" A former Western Alliance special operations elite named Reid Anber, now captain of B13 ship of the Human First Fleet, quickly responded, "The last squad should be prioritized as the target."

"That’s right," Shen Shi nodded, "Due to the relative speed issue, signals sent by the front units can be received by the rear marching units in the shortest time. Therefore, we need to first deal with the rear and then split into two units to tackle the middle two squads, and finally surround the foremost reconnaissance units."

It’s indeed simple and straightforward.

If the Worren Fleet recognized their enemy as a fleet with a higher technical level than them, their reconnaissance units would slow down and set up more reconnaissance squads in three-dimensional space.

They could even use more advanced warships with Curvature Engine to conduct wide-range patrols over the entire reconnaissance formation.

Unfortunately, they have not been alerted to such an extent, or rather, they are unwilling to exert more effort.

Of course, they still maintain a minimum level of alertness.

That’s those freely traveling warships whose number hasn’t been fully detected, possibly exceeding a hundred.

Soon, someone raised this question.

"We are also a fleet; such individual warships should naturally be swiftly tackled separately," Shen Shi confidently responded, "Spot one, solve one. I want you to attack two against one. It’s estimated that during the whole marching process, we won’t encounter more than twenty ships. By the time we reach the core target, we’ll still be maintaining nearly a two-to-one numerical advantage, combined with a clear technological edge. Don’t tell me you’re not confident!"

Among the crowd came a chuckle, filled with confidence.

However, their level of focus has been continually heightened.

Deep down, they understand.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that everyone is at the same rank, all are captains, but as the war progresses, the gap between captains, between warships, will become evident.

And this campaign will especially highlight that gap.

Everyone has the same warship, the same technology, and it’s two against one—if I capture the enemy perfectly, yet you have to destroy the enemy, isn’t the difference obvious enough?

Moreover, if anyone allows the enemy’s warship to send a message before being destroyed, that would be a war failure and will surely be punished.

If such a failure ultimately leads to the defeat of the whole war...

Then punishment and demotion would be irrelevant.

Because, at that point, one would have become a traitor to all humanity!
