Ep. 80: Attenborough's Minefield Ambush and Imperial Feigned Retreat in the Corridor

80

Attenborough positions his fleet at the corridor entrance, deploying mines to snipe the approaching Imperial forces through specific gaps. The Imperial fleet establishes five entry holes to create a bridgehead, resulting in Steinmetz's death during the engagement. Due to sluggish movements within the confined space, Reuenthal orders a feigned retreat. The Yang fleet advances toward Reinhard's flagship but fails to break the Imperial battle line. Consequently, both sides withdraw from the confrontation. This tactical maneuver highlights the strategic complexities of the corridor battle, where minefields and positioning dictate the flow of combat without a decisive victory for either commander.
