Chapter 337: Integrated Maneuver Warfare!


Two hours after the Wind Fleet dispersed to raid the entire territory of the Nonar United Kingdom.

The highest level of the Sherman Empire's Military Department convened an emergency meeting.

When Admiral Thomas joined the meeting, the other seven senior generals involved in the military operations against the Luofeng Empire had already gathered using projection technology.

"What has happened?" Admiral Thomas frowned, "Did we lose again this time?"

The old man at the head of the table said in a deep voice, "We are also eager to know what exactly happened within the territory of the Nonar United Kingdom."

A gray-haired general pondered for a moment and began a simple briefing:

"According to the plan we previously devised, we directly dispatched a fleet of three hundred enhanced ships to significantly boost Nonar's military strength, ensuring an absolute advantage when facing the Wind Fleet head-on. This fleet was disguised in appearance and included several of the Empire's most advanced operational fire suppression vessels, equipped with battlefield supercomputers.

"That was indeed our plan, but... the actual action deviated from what we planned."

Admiral Thomas puzzledly asked, "Wasn't the battlefield command in the hands of our people?"

"Yes, but our people also made the wrong decisions. — As it seems now."

"The Wind Empire's commander, that General Leon, is very cunning."

A general quickly said:

"When the two armies confronted each other, he first deployed a fleet of fewer than a hundred ships, using excellent jump capabilities, circled around for a large loop, and launched a series of surprise attacks on the major administrative stars of the United Kingdom, directly pressuring the Head Star.

"Our commander immediately responded by feigning to withdraw some ships from the front lines to lure the Wind Fleet into a decisive battle. The Wind Fleet advanced as expected, and their surprise fleet jumped away from the vicinity of the Head Star. Before our withdrawn ships could return, the main Wind Fleet suddenly retreated, synchronizing its jump, opening a path into the gravitational balance zone within the Luofeng Empire's territory.

"They actually abandoned their own territorial terrain.

"Then, a bizarre situation occurred. The Wind Empire adopted a desperate tactic, splitting the main fleet into twenty, entering the United Kingdom territory unexpectedly, and raiding the major administrative stars across the United Kingdom."

Admiral Thomas was also a bit astonished: "What? They don't defend Ilando Star?"

"Possibly they think Ilando Star has planetary cannons."

"No, the planetary cannon is affected by rotation, and the human fleet can directly bypass it."

"They are gambling that the United Kingdom doesn't dare to exchange Head Stars with them."

"This is a reckless tactic but accurately seizes the weak points in the political circles within the United Kingdom," a general said, "It's like a gamble; if they win, they win everything; if they lose, the Luofeng Empire declares its demise."

The eight generals present tacitly fell into silence.

Admiral Thomas said, "That Edwan, to allow the military to use such tactics, indeed... this is not just a gamble; our fleet is delayed in time, and the preparation on the intelligence regarding the Wind's territory is also insufficient. At this moment, the command system has shifted to defense, which is actually a forced move. We have already lost the initiative to choose the form of warfare and can only seek local victories."

"Edwan, a very smart emperor."

Someone sighed:

"Unfortunately, he has taken an opposing path with the Empire, which is also because he is too arrogant, I suppose."

"Thomas, don't be in a rush; there's more trouble to come."

"What else is there?"

"The Wind Army used a tactic, which has been recorded many times in history, used to strike the strong with the weak, yet their command system and the command of the formations in various areas leave everyone feeling unbelievable."

A general lifted his hand and tapped a few virtual buttons, and a series of images immediately appeared before Thomas's eyes.

In just two short hours, the seventeen dispersed formations of the Nonar United Kingdom were almost obliterated.

The various formations the Wind Fleet split into demonstrated extremely strong discipline.

The United Kingdom switched from proactive attacks to passive defense; initially, they still had 'home field advantage' as well as ship advantages, with enough divided forces to annihilate the scattered Wind Fleet across various locations.

The commanders dispatched by the Sherman Empire retained clear thinking, keeping a mobile squad of one hundred and fifty ships to swallow the Wind formations one by one.

But the Wind formations were like a group of eels!

They took the essence of space maneuvering warfare to the extreme!

Whenever the Wind formations met a strong enemy, they would rapidly retreat and instead of jumping directly, they utilized the 'similar' mobility of both sides' ships to circle around with batches of Nonar United Kingdom's fleets.

Even, several Main Sequence Administrative Stars witnessed the spectacle of 'ships orbiting the stars.'

Comparable to the "Qin King Circling the Pillars."

The pursuit battles raged on, with the Wind formations losing only a few faulty ships and supply ships with insufficient mobility;

But ambushes against the United Kingdom formations erupted on three or four planetary battlefields.

The Wind Fleet divided into multiple formations ambushed several weaker Nonar formations!

The ambushes were swift.

The Wind formations were not greedy for credit and often abandoned battered Nonar's weak formations, jumped away before Nonar's strong fleets arrived to support, and reappeared alternately on other battlefields to ambush or cover operations.

The entire Nonar United Kingdom was turned into a chaotic mess.

That strong fleet of the Nonar United Kingdom also exposed its most fatal weakness.

——The fleet directly dispatched by the Sherman Empire and Nonar's native fleet showed a clear incompatibility.
