Volume 3 Chapter 12 The Tenacity of the Fleet of Cafatel

The distance of 0.26 light-years is equivalent to more than 8.1 million lightseconds. Even if the www.biquge.info were spread at the speed of 1,500 light, it would take nearly 6,000 seconds for the Hanwu's interference energy field to reach the main star. Therefore, the interference energy of the Hanwu has not affected here for the time being. No one even noticed that this energy was spreading here, because this energy was faster than any energy in this star field.

The Gutila fleet and the Kaffatra fleet near the main star have been engaged in a struggle for some time. While the Khafatra fleet tried their best to stay away from the enemy, they had to maneuver in a curve, which gave the Gutila fleet a chance to close in on them. The two sides are about to enter a state of close combat.

In terms of troops, the Gutila fleet had an absolute advantage. Their three fleets have a total of 9,000 warships, and the warships all belong to Gutila's main battleship, and the combat capability of a single battleship far exceeds that of the Kaffatra battleship.

However, the Kafatra fleet also made a division of forces when the strength was at a disadvantage, which also frustrated the siege plan of the Guthira fleet.

The battle plan of Gutila's fleet was originally to use interference to disrupt the other side's communications, so that the Khafatra fleet had to be concentrated. Then the three fleets sent were deployed to suitable positions, and then a crossfire attack was carried out on the Khafatra fleet.

The Khafatra fleet just didn't care about its own life or death, and divided its forces. The divided Khaffatra fleet took advantage of the high mobility of their small warships to avoid being cross-attacked by the Gutila fleet. The three formations were again divided into more than a dozen small detachments and began guerrilla tactics, neither near nor far from each other. Only use his remaining high mobility ability and Gutila fleet fighting.

Faced with small targets, the dense firepower of the large fleet was meaningless, and the Gutila fleet had to be forced to divide its forces and entangle with the small Cafatra fleet. Of course, after the division of the Kaffat fleet, the density of firepower became no threat to them.

Because of the division of troops, the interference energy field of Gutila's fleet caused Talis to lose command of the fleet. There were fewer than three hundred warships still under her command. The others were too far away to communicate with the radio waves under the interference of the Gutila fleet.

However, she can still understand the condition of the fleet through visible light detection. The other small detachments, although completely outnumbered, still insisted on fighting the enemy ships. This is her fleet, and in the face of a strong enemy, there is not a single battleship that avoids the battle. This, made her proud.

She ordered the fleet to use this method of warfare, in fact, she was learning the style of the Cosmic Bandit Group. Cosmic bandit groups usually rarely have a unified command, and once they encounter a strong enemy, they will scatter and flee for their lives, or scatter to fight. Prevents enemy fire from being concentrated. Even if the local firepower is concentrated, you can take advantage of the small size of the fleet, the large space between the warships, and the high maneuverability of the battleships to reduce the probability of being hit by the fire of enemy ships.

Now her fleet does just that. Perhaps the threat to enemy ships was also greatly reduced in doing so. But under such a disadvantage, even if all the warships were concentrated, they might not be able to inflict much damage on the Gutila fleet, which was several times larger than them and whose combat effectiveness was unknown.

The three hundred small warships still under her will need to evade the attacks of the hundreds of Gutila fleets pursuing them. Instead, she left the fleet unfazed by the pursuing Gutila fleet, and their targets were enemy ships entangled with other friendly forces.

The weapons of the Khafatra fleet were too powerful for the warships of the Tutila fleet. Even because of the limited detection, the fleet's attack can only be accurate. Only with a Limit Energy Attack can their laser cannons penetrate the enemy ship's protective energy field and damage the enemy ship when the limited hit rate occurs.

Daris understands this well, and she asks the fleet not to pursue the frequency of the fleet's attacks. She has only one requirement for the fleet's firepower output, and that is that the energy output of the weapon must reach the maximum energy level that the main gun can withstand.

"Report the situation of the main gun. Dalis estimated the extent of the repairs to the battleship's main guns and asked the fire control team.

"The attrition rate of the main gun launcher is 5.13%. ”

Talis immediately said, "Report to me when it's completely repaired." ”

Because the firepower output exceeds the limit of the main gun itself, high temperatures and pressures can cause damage to the launcher. These damages can be repaired by nanobots. But they must reduce the frequency of their attacks.

Under normal circumstances, Talis would not have done such a thing, because no one could guarantee that the main gun would have a chance to be repaired after the next outrun output. In fact, her flagship had already lost three of its main guns after just five rounds of attacks, and after an overrun attack, the damage to the main guns would have become quite unstable even if repaired. In other words, the more times a battleship's main gun is temporarily repaired in the damage management system, the higher the probability of complete damage in the next overrun attack.

And the battleship was equipped with no more than sixteen main guns. All of the guns had been urgently repaired five times, and she didn't know that the next attack would damage the seats.

The fleet of three hundred Khfatra maneuvers in a near-extreme curve in the space scarred by laser light. The fleet made a large angular velocity maneuver almost every 0.3 seconds. And their flight speed has already reached 1,600 kilometers per second. Much higher than the twelve hundred kilometers of the Gutila fleet that pursued them. However, these speed advantages are offset by their frequent changes of direction, and the distance between the two sides is not significantly widened, but is getting closer and closer.

For the Khafatra fleet, it was their planned plan to keep all the fleets of both sides within six light-seconds of each other. And the Gutila people did not know that this was also one of Talis's battle orders.

"The main gun repair is complete. The main gun has a 130% charge. ”

"Target Five. The whole fleet fired a timed salvo. "Because the fifth target is the closest to the Talis fleet, and it is facing away from the fleet. For space warships, because of the propulsion energy, the back direction is the direction with the worst detection ability.

Thousands of pillars of blue light shot out from more than three hundred warships, and the sparse pillars of light struck a fleet of Gutila six lightseconds away. The effect of the attack is not what Dalis needs to pay attention to, such an attack, if it hits, it is completely a blind cat touching a dead mouse, and it is normal if it does not hit.

As soon as the salvo was completed, several battleships in the fleet burst into flames, including Talis's flagship.

Dalis felt the battleship tremble for a while, and his heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Report the battle damage!"

"The No. 6 main gun of our ship was killed. Nearby armor was damaged. The battleship was structurally slightly damaged. , the damage management system is controlling the danger. The loss of other main guns is 18% to 26%. Other battleship battle losses are being counted. ”

Hearing that only one main gun had been lost, Talis breathed a sigh of relief: "Order the fleet to report the battle damage as soon as possible, and all ships pay attention to the maneuver order." "Because the maneuvering frequency is too high, and the fleet can only communicate with primitive radio waves. This most primitive method of long-distance communication will lead to a considerable delay of time, so the maneuver of the fleet is actually scheduled to be sent to each ship in advance, and then the overall maneuver will be carried out according to this preset plan. Otherwise, sooner or later there will be chaos in the fleet.

Soon, Talis's fleet made another small-radius spiral maneuver under her command, perfectly avoiding a salvo from a pursuing enemy ship. At the same time, she also received the battle damage of the whole fleet, although several more battleships lost their main guns, but her fleet maintained its combat effectiveness.

About ten seconds later, the observer reported with surprise: "Observation Five target was hit, and three of the enemy ships were destroyed. "In addition to the poor detection ability on the back of the space battleship, in order not to weaken the propulsion energy too much, the protection energy here is also the lowest, and this is also the area with the most concentrated energy inside the battleship, as long as it is pierced through the armor, it is very easy to cause martyrdom.

However, the report of the detection team was not so optimistic: "Report Commander, detected the battle damage of our friendly forces. According to conservative estimates, the friendly forces lost a total of 468 warships. ”

Daris's heart sank, his own fleet had lost at least more than 400 warships, and the enemy's losses did not exceed ten. Such a comparison of battle losses makes people rush to despair.

It's not often that you have the luck to hit a dead rat like you just did. can only be beaten passively, but there is no way to fight back. No commander wants to encounter such a battle.

Talis was depressed, but her face didn't show it at all. She is firm in her goals. That was to attract the attention of Gutila's fleet and stall for time, giving the third detachment more time to flee the battlefield.

She didn't know that there were also Gutila fleets in other airspace, but she knew that the other party had sent a fleet of tens of thousands of warships, and it would definitely not be a small fleet under her command. She had a vague suspicion in her mind: Gutila was going to assemble here and prepare for a sneak attack on the Kafatra system.

She appeared in this multi-star system because she had a plan to ambush the largest cosmic raider group in the galaxy here, and if the plan was successful, of course there would be a battle.

She reckons that the Gutila knew about this plan, so as to cover up the energy field generated by their migration, and avoid possible anomalies from the nearby Khafatra spaceship.

She couldn't think of the specific conspiracy of Gutila's appearance here, but she had a hunch that something big would happen if she didn't inform the empire of the information about Gutila's appearance here.

"The enemy fleet was regrouped. ”

Hearing the observer's report, Dalis quickly gathered her thoughts and looked at the screen. I saw that the dots representing Gutila's fleet on the screen had changed from twelve to more than thirty. Her face changed drastically, and she said urgently: "Order the fleet to speed up to the limit and try to distance itself from the local fleet." All allies must be informed of the order. ”

As soon as she heard the observer's report, she immediately realized that the Gutila fleet was trying to regain numerical superiority. After they were divided and grouped this time, they could be besieged by three or four fleets for each of the Khafatra detachments. Now that the two sides are still so close, under the attack of crossfire, even if the Kafatra fleet has the advantage of mobility, it will inevitably be hit.

It's just that the other fleets are too far away for her orders to reach other allies. She immediately thought of a last resort: "Order the fleet to move closer to the nearest friendly forces." "Hopefully there's enough time for her to gather more fleets, and that must happen before the Gutila fleet completes a new round of formation. Because once Katila has completed the formation, no matter how many allies she gathers, she will be the key target for thirty different angles. That can weave a web of heaven and earth in space.

The Khaffatra fleet is facing the dilemma of being destroyed at any moment. In the vicinity of the seventh star of Batoya, the Hanwu and five other motherships, already with sixty assault fleets, were preparing to move to the predetermined six points. It was just a close jump, even if he interfered, Zhuang Bifan still didn't dare to underestimate the enemy. He ordered the assault fleets to move independently.

Doing so will reduce the time it takes to move out and make it safer. The 500-ship assault fleet completed the leap in just fifteen seconds, and even if the enemy's reconnaissance ability was not disturbed, it would attack immediately, and the distance between the two sides was at least twenty light-seconds, giving the fleet that had just completed the leap time to maneuver. Even if the enemy detects some of the emigration points, the opponent will not be able to attack a large number of emigration coordinates at the same time.

Thankfully, the jamming energy field emitted by the mothership was very successful in preventing the enemy fleet from detecting the migration energy field response. All assault fleets moved out safely, bringing enemy fleets directly into their own range.

The Hanwu did not make a jump, but came between the ten assault fleets directly under the jurisdiction of the war through the displacement space.

As soon as the replacement was completed, Zhuang Bifan ordered the Han Wu to release the auxiliary attacker.

The so-called auxiliary attack weapon is actually a small aircraft built with reference to the small ovoid battleship of the Bernassay mothership to assist the mothership in attack and defense.

These auxiliary aircraft can sail synchronously with the mothership and can control these auxiliary attack vehicles through wireless energy transmission.

After the assault fleet completed the jump, it did not receive a warning from the mothership, and knew that the enemy fleet had not yet reacted to the appearance of its own fleet, and it was also completing the formation again in a hurry.
