Bang ~ bang ~ bang ~

The dull sound was like a vigorous hammer of a bell and drum, and the sound was piercing and humming.

The sharp wavelength, penetrating the soundproof layer, cleanses the eardrum and makes people palpitate.

Ya Ze's face was pale and he appeared on the side of the bridge, holding his head slightly with his hands behind his back, and through the wide high-definition picture of holographic automatic imaging, he saw that in the dim starry sky, beams of light came and hit the protective shield on the surface of the battleship, causing layers of ripples like water ripples.

"How's the shield going?"

Yaze yelled.

"Report, the protective cover is intact, the energy fluctuation is plus or minus 17%, and the working condition is normal!"

Yaze frowned, and thought to himself, "The attack power is not strong! This tickling attack is like blowing up my Star Destroyer?"

And at this moment, the second batch of interstellar missiles of the other side attacked.

In the starry sky, the huge Star Destroyer and the heavy ship have all activated the terminal defense system in an instant, and while activating the space folding protection, they can predict the hit part of the missile attack, and maximize the output of the energy shield of the part that may be attacked.

In addition, all medium- and short-range defensive weapons are also in full swing, constantly critting in the direction of the missile's attack, creating a powerful barrage of obstruction, various particle rays and antimatter, and high-energy lasers, eager to form an impenetrable wall of firepower.

The warship defense of interstellar warfare is like this, the speed of the interstellar missile attack is too fast, and the time left for the battleship to carry out the terminal defense is almost milliseconds, so there is basically only one chance for fire interception.

The window of fire interception is too short, which is destined for the starship to detect the direction, number, and attack path of the missile in an instant, and at the same time use all the defensive weapons that can be used to carry out the maximum fire interception.

Boom! Boom!

Many interstellar missiles that came from multiple directions were successfully intercepted, but they were still hit a few.

In an instant, the large-yield interstellar missile exploded suddenly, releasing a huge amount of energy and gravitational twisting, as if a brilliant ball of light exploded next to the hull of an extra-long interstellar battleship.

The explosion impact energy and the battleship's energy shield collided together in an instant, which immediately caused the shield to ripple with a circle of energy diffusion, just like a calm lake was thrown into huge rocks, and the energy shield was "smashed through" huge holes.

The high-power warhead of the interstellar missile, especially the nuclear fusion attack warhead, suddenly released hundreds of millions of tons of explosive energy, while partially tearing the energy shield, the ultra-high temperature and manic pulse radiation impact immediately gnawed the battleship like a starry sky monster.

In a flash.

The hull of the ship that was hit, the armor protection layer on the surface of the hull within a range of hundreds of meters was melted away, forming a huge oval-shaped jujube red pit, like a steel furnace, and even the alloy that was molten into liquid can be seen.

However, the space environment was too cold, and the low temperature of more than minus 100 degrees Celsius soon cooled the wounds of the battleship, and the high-temperature jujube color slowly turned into jet black and deep.

With the gushing of various gases and liquids, the maintenance window near the injured location opened, and many maintenance robots were quickly dispatched.

They use spray repair synthetic fluid, rapid welding, modular installation and other means to block gas-liquid leakage, and fill and patch the pits in the injured parts to ensure the protection of the warship.

If the damage of the battleship is not timely and the maintenance is not timely, then a series of explosions will continue to occur inside, as well as the leakage of various gases and liquids and the spread of toxic gases, which will lead to extremely serious consequences.

Just a wave of raids brought a lot of losses to the main combat cluster.

Yaze, who received the automatic assessment report of battle damage, was so angry that his face turned blue and he was extremely depressed.

Day and night defense, all kinds of defense, what is the result?

The other party still rushed out coldly and suddenly attacked fiercely!

According to the results of automatic statistics, the other side invested 8 interstellar warships and launched three batches of a total of 1,150 interstellar missiles.

The cost of defeating these many interstellar missiles at one time is not insignificant, and according to the cost of ammunition procurement in the Garan Empire, the cost of this wave of raids is at least more than 10 billion imperial dollars.

And compared to the huge overhead, the results they have achieved are also remarkable.

In this wave of raids, Yaze saw that on the statistical report, 11 of his own interstellar battleships were pierced through the energy shield and were directly hit the hull of the battleship, of which 5 were seriously damaged, and the most tragic 1 interstellar attack cruiser was just now, and the captain had ordered to give up the emergency repair and abandon the ship to escape.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ya Ze waited for a few seconds, and the light of the explosion of the 'Xinda' attack cruiser arrived, and he saw the scene of the battleship turning into a fireball and turning into debris and flying everywhere, but that was more than two seconds ago, because the transmission of light is a constant speed of light, and it takes at least two seconds to cross a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers or so.

The war has just begun, and the first round of raid encounters has lost an interstellar attack cruiser, which is really a bit worrying.

Yaze took a deep breath and immediately turned around suddenly.

"Order, the main combat group will immediately launch an attack and protection formation in accordance with the No. 1 combat plan, send a hunting and destroying fleet, expand the scope of fire control and search, and once a non-own target is found, it will be killed immediately!"

"It is ordered that during the combat voyage of each ship, it is necessary to ensure a safe distance from each other, and the active/passive collision avoidance system must be in working condition at all times!"

"The herald, all ships and carrier-based air and space pilots will immediately enter the first-level combat deployment state, be ready to attack at any time, and load ammunition according to the star war mode!"

……

Yaze stood on a high place, and gave a series of orders loudly and generously.

Immediately.

The main combat cluster of the Galan Empire's interstellar expeditionary fleet immediately adjusted the combat ferry formation, with the star destroyer as the core and the heavy ship as the auxiliary, forming a combat synthesis unit.

The interstellar attack cruiser widened the distance, and multiple ships coordinated to carry out the 'hunt and destroy' patrol mission, and the overall speed was increased by a notch, because the faster the maneuver, the more it was able to make evasive actions when attacked.

At the same time, the space fighters in each warship also immediately entered a state of combat deployment, and could be launched at high speed at any time from the battleship and carried bombs into space to carry out attack/defense combat missions.

Interstellar warfare can be very complex, or it can be simple.

If it is a strong fight against the weak, then the battle from the beginning to the end is definitely a matter of seconds, and a surprise attack is enough to destroy the weak side.

Just like in Yaze's main combat cluster, a star destroyer was dispatched to raid an interstellar fleet with only a fourth-level or third-level civilization at high speed, with precise locking and powerful firepower, which was enough to instantly penetrate and break the opponent's protective shield and hull and cause a martyrdom.

However, if the strength of the two sides is equal, the attack, protection, and mobility are very strong, and both have very complete reconnaissance, fire control, and protection systems, then the war will become very complicated.

It's like two swordsmen who are very good at light skills, fighting in a dark wood, then whoever discovers the other first is likely to win.

At this moment, the duel between Qin Tian and Ya Ze.

Yaze knew very well that he was very unfamiliar with this star field, and there were a lot of surveillance and reconnaissance equipment hidden around him, and he was constantly tracking and monitoring his fleet clusters, but his warships could not search and track each other.

In order to break this 'information reconnaissance asymmetry', Yaze proposed a maneuver to change the orbit, he wanted to change the course and speed of the fleet group, so that the enemy could not organize a second surprise attack well.

Of course, space transition detachment is impossible, and any interstellar warship wants to use 'space jump' to shuttle between different star field positions, which requires a preparation process, which requires accumulating energy, disturbing space, creating wormholes, and then penetrating wormholes to break away, which is a somewhat time-consuming process.

If you want to escape from space jumping, you need to concentrate most of the energy of the battleship, but without enough energy support, and the space folding and energy protection devices cannot work normally, the battleship is equivalent to losing its stealth ability and protection ability.

Therefore, on the interstellar battlefield, the battleship must not use space jump to escape, and it is better to increase the power output of the power system, so that the battleship can fly many times the speed of light, and use the faster-than-light escape method to escape, which is faster and more effective than space jump.

After all, it will jump out of tens of millions of kilometers in a few seconds, and change the course randomly, which will also make it difficult for the other party to chase down, because the vast universe is too big and empty.

But will Aze escape? He'd traveled millions of light-years from the planet Garan to this field, and he'd come to win the battle, not to run away in fear after a little loss in a raid!

Yaze not only did not escape, he was still trying his best to track down the whereabouts of the enemy fleet, he was not willing to be in a passive position, he wanted to counterattack, he wanted to counterattack.

However......

The situation on the battlefield is unpredictable.

Just when the Galan Empire's interstellar expeditionary fleet was adjusting its combat deployment according to Yaze's order, the enemy fleet that had launched a surprise attack before actually took the initiative to kill back.

You must know that in interstellar warfare with equal strength, concealment is combat effectiveness.

If one side doesn't want to fight and deliberately dodges, it will be difficult for the other side to continue to track and successfully kill, but what does it mean to actively reveal the location?

Yaze didn't have time to think about it before he heard a continuous loud report.

"Enemy fleet spotted, azimuth 270, speed three times the speed of light, contact is expected in seven seconds!"

"The hunting detachment has turned to meet the enemy fleet, and the fire blockade has begun!"

"The enemy fleet has launched a large number of interstellar missiles, and our hunting and annihilation detachment is making every effort to organize interception!"

"The enemy fleet has dispatched a large number of space fighters, and our space fighters have been dispatched in an emergency!"

……

In the combat command center, the sound of various reports was endless.

The situation of the entire main combat cluster in all aspects is summarized here, although technology is changing with each passing day, but the latest situation is directly shouted out, which can make the commander know the situation faster.

Yaze kept his brows furrowed, pacing back and forth, knowing the situation of the battle cluster.

Le Xi stood aside and said in a deep voice: "Obviously, the other party is going to fight us to the death!

Yaze stopped and turned his head to look at Le Xi. "Destroy us......? You're reminding me! After the first wave of raids, the other side did not flee but quickly turned back and launched the current second wave of offensives, why did they do this?"

Le Xi immediately pointed to the battle situation map on the command platform and said: "I think the reason is very simple, this star field is their traditional sphere of influence, in their territory, we are outsiders, invaders, and completely defeating us is their only choice." ”

"What's more, they must have carefully arranged a vigilance and defense in this star field, and they have a 'geographical advantage' in this battle, if it were me, I would also launch various attacks again and again until the invaders are eliminated!"

Yaze smiled faintly. "If they invade our Garan Empire, we will not attack again and again until the invading enemy is eliminated, so I think these two battles must be a difficult battle!"

Le Xi took a deep breath and sighed: "That's right! You can see the battle between the hunting and annihilating detachment and the opponent's fleet after the encounter, we are evenly matched, and it is not easy to win!"

With Le Xi's sigh, Yaze looked at the battle picture transmitted back in real time by the hunting and annihilation detachment in front of him, blocking the enemy fleet, which was really intense.

Airplanes~

The 'Dunra' heavy ship, which was sailing at high speed and approaching the enemy's warships, was like a super-large flying sword in the vast starry sky, wrapped around a blue and bright bubble-like protective shield, because it was continuously blocking the enemy's interstellar missiles, so it was full of firepower, and all kinds of weapons were firing at full speed, as if they were constantly flashing.

The enemy interstellar missile that did not succeed in blocking hit the vicinity of the battleship, blowing up clusters of light balls, and waves of blue energy ripples, and the heavy ship, as the main force in interstellar warfare, is not only in passive defense in battle, it is also constantly attacking enemy ships.

The most obvious is the continuous shooting as the neutron main gun, which has strong penetration and great damage to personnel, and neutron rays, which do little damage to equipment armor, are a very terrifying 'soft kill' medium.

Neutrons travel only at the speed of light, but in order to allow them to fly faster and be able to approach and kill the enemy more quickly, there is a neutron main gun with multiple tandem structure hierarchical acceleration, which can give high-energy neutron rays a very powerful energy that can distort space into a local shuttle wormhole, so that neutron rays can fly faster to the target with the same speed.

For example, if you want to move the vertex of the upper left corner of a blank piece of paper to the bottom of the lower right corner, the fastest way on the surface is of course to pull straight to the end, but in reality?

If you fold this piece of paper in half, will the distance between the two points be shortened a lot at once?

With the same speed, the only way to reach in a shorter time is to shorten the distance

This is the case with the neutron main gun, which itself does not accelerate the neutron rays to more than the speed of light, it only gives the energy of 'space folding' and realizes the 'extradimensional strike'.

The 'Dunra' interstellar heavy ship with such a divine weapon, if it is against a low-level civilization interstellar warship, it can undoubtedly 'chop melons and vegetables' and quickly blow up the enemy.

This is like a jet fighter with a long-range air-to-air missile, against a propeller fighter with only a cannon, the jet fighter uses a phased array radar to lock on to the propeller fighter at a long distance, and launches an air-to-air missile to carry out an 'over-the-horizon' strike, while the propeller fighter will only be blown up by the volley without even seeing the enemy.

The generation gap in technology means slaughter.

It's a pity that ......

The 9 interstellar warships led by the heavy ship 'Dunra', the hunting and annihilating detachment they formed encountered was not a low-level civilization weak chicken, but Qin Tian's 8 'upgraded' Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyers.

The neutron main gun is terrifying?

The interstellar battleships of low-level civilization are indeed certain to die if they are hit by a single shot, but today's Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyers are not afraid of the attack of this weapon, and the powerful energy output is enough to ensure that the energy shield has a 'weakening' effect, and at the same time, the nearby space folding stealth device will also form a gravitational disordered wave field, disrupting the flight path of neutron rays.

The two sides are evenly matched, like two swordsmen, both with a sword strong enough to seal their throats, but also with an indestructible shield.

Therefore, when the two sides staggered, not only did they frantically throw interstellar missiles at each other, continuously implement optical and electromagnetic interference suppression, the main and secondary weapons of the battleships fired wildly, and the desperate carrying of their respective protective shields, but also sent a large number of their own space fighters to attack the opponent's warships and fighters.

After the staggering, the respective starships have already flown away, because the speed is very fast, it will take time to turn the course and fight each other again, but the space fighters sent by each side are chasing the opponent's warships and fighters, and the tragic space and air battles have begun.

The two sides, whose flight speed is very fast, compete to chase each other in the vast star field, lock and get rid of it, attack and dodge, and all kinds of high-mobility flight maneuvers, accompanied by missile fire and energy attack each other.

In a large area of star, the space fighters of both sides are intertwined, and the missiles are flying and shining, because their flight speed is very fast and they have ultra-high vector maneuvering ability, so sometimes even after being locked by the missile, the missile pursues the front, and the high-tech pilot can also make a sharp turn and roll to avoid missile killing.

In contrast, it is the fighters chasing each other, being locked by the high-velocity turbine neutron cannon on board the space fighter, and being attacked continuously and the protective shield is broken, which is really fatal.

Of course, the fighter plane is speeding at a very fast speed in a complex battlefield environment, which is itself full of danger, just like going backwards at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour on the highway, and it is easy to collide with the opponent or your own fighter plane if you are not careful, and burst into fireballs in space.

The 'air combat fight' between space fighters is just a small episode, and what is really tragic and tragic is the attack of space fighters on starships.

The super-long mountain-like starships are real firepower hedgehogs, and they also have solid armor, airtight energy shields, and some warships even continue to make the space folding device create gravitational field fluctuations.

Therefore, if a space fighter wants to attack an interstellar battleship, it really feels like a moth to a fire, often tens of thousands of kilometers away, and it has been frantically blocked by the powerful warship's shipborne anti-aircraft fire, and the launched interstellar missile is often blown up during the flight.

Therefore, a small number of space fighters launching an attack on an interstellar battleship is often a 'tickling' general self-defeating way, or it will not take long to be wiped out by the powerful firepower network of the interstellar battleship, and if a large enough number of space fighters are assembled to attack, the opponent will not stop in space and be passively beaten, and will also send space fighters to carry out long-distance drive and interception.

In this way, space fighters have really become a 'small role' on the battlefield in interstellar warfare.

The battle between the starships is like a rhinoceros fighting each other like a mad fight, and the space fighter is the annoying flies and mosquitoes, flying around on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness is not very strong, the meaning of existence is to kill and clamp the opponent's space fighters, counting on them to kill the starship, unless thousands of people launch a saturation attack at the same time.

Yaze frowned and watched the brief battle between the hunting and destroying detachment and the opposing fleet, and the starships of both sides did not suffer any particularly big losses, but the space fighters of each other killed very fiercely.

In the live video sent back by the pilots of the space fighters, Yaze found a very strange phenomenon, that is, the opponent's space fighters seem to be unmanned, and they have very rich combat experience, and often make very fast and overloaded maneuvers.

Moreover, the opponent's space fighters are very 'pragmatic', and they did not launch a stupid direct attack on the starships of the hunting and annihilation detachment, but launched interstellar missiles to harass them, and immediately intelligently avoided them, and fought more with the space fighters of the Garan Empire.

Looking at the battle situation, the main confrontation on the battlefield is still the fight between the starships of the two sides.

Soon, Yaze's most fearful but longing scene appeared, the second wave of surprise attacks on the enemy, which failed to achieve significant results, dispatched another fleet, and decisively launched a third offensive, surging from two different directions.

Seeing this situation, Yaze immediately decisively ordered that the main combat group immediately join the battle group, striving to quickly counterattack and bite the opponent's two small fleets.

In order to deal with possible unexpected situations, Yaze also urgently transferred the two fleets as reserve combat forces, because he had a hunch that a second small fleet appeared on the other side, and maybe a third or fourth.

This interstellar war seems to have become a fierce battle of hard fighting, so if you want to win, you have to see who has more troops on both sides and who is more durable.

There are many people, there is great strength, and there are many ships, and there is enough firepower!

Ya Ze did not hesitate to transfer the other two fleets over to join the battle group, from a moderate conservative, suddenly became so radical, it really surprised Qin Tian.

However, the battle situation was changeable, and the other side had increased its troops in a large way, and it was impossible for Qin Tian to win this battle with a small number of troops.

Therefore, without any hesitation or thinking, Qin Tian immediately made a decision and ordered the interstellar fortresses of the first defensive front of the Harak planet to fire rapidly, and at the same time, the support fleet on standby on the planet Kabora rushed to help......
