Chapter 426: The Fall of Bermuda (Part I)
The Jiepeng people did come as Tang Lang expected.
It's just that the person who surprised him, the Jiepeng people came so strongly, as soon as they appeared, it turned out to be a flagship starship of the main fleet.
Jeppen people are arrogant enough? Or is it fierce enough, just like the cavalry charge in the era of the ancient blue star cold weapon, the general is the arrow of the charge?
However, in order to boost morale, the ancient generals may be in the arrow when charging, but they are surrounded by many personal guards, and if they want to kill him, they must first kill the personal soldiers on the periphery.
It's like now, a flagship-level starship has come out like this.
"Commander, give the order to attack!" Yu Chijian's resolute face appeared on Tang Lang's command seat screen. "Since the Jeppen people lost a big one first, let's kill it first."
"Wait!" Tang Lang watched from afar in the surveillance video that the Jepeng cruiser had begun to move forward, and tried to put the huge hull sideways, obviously trying to give enough space to the follow-up starships and block enough artillery fire for them when they were in danger, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "We're going to fight now, what if we scare the Jeppon people in the back away?"
"Order all starships, the engine must not start, but those who violate the order, kill!" Tang Lang's voice was transmitted through the command center to the command ships with special communications enabled, and the order was sent to all starships through the portlights.
Tang Lang had already relied on continuous battlefield victories to obtain the absolute command of the "Independent Regiment", and when he gave an order, he had no choice but to obey Shen Chengfeng. It is not surprising that the "independent regiment" belongs to the reverence.
However, the air pirates, who accounted for most of the troops, turned into good babies at such a moment, which was beyond the expectations of all the commanders of the independent regiment.
They don't know the thoughts of the air pirates, not to mention that if the Jiepeng fleet successfully invades the meteorite starry sky, they already understand that their gang has robbed Jiepeng's huge caravan and stabbed the Jiepeng people, and the two sides will never be able to coexist peacefully.
Tang Lang's unbelievable prediction this time was the jump point of Jeppen's fleet, which was the most important psychological support for the air pirates who were already frightened. In the face of a huge crisis, only the strong who rely on enough ability can get out of the predicament, which is the unbreakable truth handed down to them by the ancestors of the air pirates who have experienced thousands of years of suffering in the meteorite starry sky.
Compared to the more civilized world in the outside world, the people in the Dark Star Domain are more obedient to the laws of natural selection by nature, as long as you are strong enough, we will listen to you.
Therefore, as soon as Tang Lang's military order was issued, more than 200 starships faced the Jepeng starship that jumped out violently, and no one dared to disobey the order with the attitude of a regular army.
This has also become one of the main reasons why future military historians evaluate why the Southwest Federation Independent Regiment won the victory in this small and medium-sized battle between the Jeppen Empire and the Southwest Federation that accidentally broke out in the meteorite starry sky before the outbreak of the Great War.
If it weren't for Tang Lang's amazing command and the incredible combat discipline of the air pirates, even if almost all the forces in this star field were gathered in this star field, and they occupied the right time and place, they would never have achieved such a victory.
You must know that at the moment of leaving the jump point, the cruiser that turned on the energy source monitoring for the first time will scan the star field with a radius of millions of kilometers with far more than the ability of ordinary monitors, and if something goes wrong, it will send a signal to the fleet headquarters that has not yet entered the jump point.
Judging from the cautious arrangements of the Itagaki expedition before the war, that Major General Jepeng had an extremely delicate mind and was extremely wary of such an unfamiliar star field as the meteorite starfield, and it was unknown whether he would order five starships, including the destroyer "Lubai" he was riding, to venture into the jump.
Including a cruiser, two destroyers and three frigates that have already entered the transition, a total of six starships, although they occupy half of the strength of the first detachment of the Sixth Army of Jeppen, but the difference between that and the entire fleet is not ordinary.
How can you describe this feeling? It's like doing some kind of exercise, you have already peeled your opponents into small bare sheep in front of you, and your eyes, mouth, nose and hands are already cool, but at the last moment, because of your shortcomings in some aspects, you can only wave your hand and say that my brother let you go today.
Only those who have experienced that kind of regret will know that it can't be called regret at all, but painful, extreme pain.
How painful it is for you to lose the last moment of conquest, how sad it is for the general to lead the army. Perhaps, when future military historians look at this battle, they will only regard this battle as a small misstep by the Jeppen people, rather than calling the battle named "Fallen Bermuda" the beginning of the fall of the Jeppen Empire.
Because Tang Lang waited quietly for thirty seconds, he received an order to enter the artificial wormhole after receiving all the safe Itagaki Zheng.
The moment the "Lubai" entered the wormhole, the destruction of the First Detachment of the Sixth Army had already entered the countdown. No matter how much the attacked "Gao Miao" sends a dangerous signal, the remaining four starships must also enter the jump.
Itagaki Sei can order to stop the jump, that's tactical, but if they dare not enter, it's a runaway. In the military system, if the commander dies, the cowardly generals under his command will be executed, the family will be stripped of their noble titles, and the civic rank will be reduced to three levels.
After jumping into the anti-space, they couldn't receive the signal from the positive space, so when Itagaki Zheng and his colonel's chief of staff left the anti-space and entered the positive space with great ambition, the two were collectively confused.
What a miserable scene it was before them!
The 1,200-meter hull of the ship, which it was once proud of, is only 800 meters left, because the remaining section has a powerful damage management system, and all the compartments that will be blown open will be sealed, and the nearly 10,000 officers and men in the damaged ship will not die due to oxygen loss and pressure loss for the time being. There are even a lot of missile embrasures and energy secondary cannons firing attacks, showing the tenacity of the soldiers of the Jeppen Empire.
However, death is only an instant.
Itagaki Sei, who has been in battle for a long time, knows that the loss of the bow of the ship means the loss of all command and communication, even if the energy engine can still provide some energy, the strongest starship of the First Fleet can no longer sail interstellarly, and its number can already be eliminated from the Imperial fleet.
All that can be done now is to be a fixed artillery battery, making a final struggle.
All the counterattacks are just for the honor of the empire.
And in addition to the miserable "Gao Miao", several other starships are also in danger, except for two frigates that finally survived the most difficult moment, covered in tattered armor, raised energy shields, two destroyers, one has been beaten to half-crippled, terrible flames are everywhere, cracks up to ten meters wide are exposed under the hard armor, and the spray that can quickly bond steel is obviously powerless against this.
However, this is already considered lucky compared to the other ship. The main energy engine located in the tail of the starship was completely blown up, and only 600 meters of the once 800-meter-long body remained in the void like an iron coffin, and countless lifeboats and mecha frantically ejected from the starship's wreckage, which was the last means of survival for the starship soldiers, if no one cleaned the battlefield after the war, and when the energy and oxygen were exhausted, they could only accompany countless meteorites to wander in the starry sky.
If you are lucky enough and are captured by a civilization after tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, it may become a relic that shows the history of interstellar civilizationsγγγγγγ
Time goes back a few minutes ago.
When the cruiser "Gao Miao" sent all the safety signals to the rear, after 1,500 kilometers away from the jump point, it did not go further, and the auxiliary engine and the tail main engine located under the bow of the ship started at full power at the same time, on the one hand, adjusting the huge body to establish a defensive line for the rear, and on the other hand, quickly charging the energy shield device, hoping to raise the energy shield that could cover 80% of the huge body in one minute.
The most standard operating procedure of the starship fleet, the cruiser "Gao Miao" executed it perfectly.
If all this can be supported until a minute later, it will be more perfect, with the energy shield, unless the other party also has a cruiser-class energy main gun, otherwise, the "Gao Miao" is the king of this space.
However, this good mood only lasted for 30 seconds for the more than 10,000 starship soldiers on the "Gao Miao".
"Sir, there's a power source! Oh, my God! Where did they come from! With the exclamation of the monitoring lieutenant, the eyes of the Jeppon officers in the bow of the ship were completely frozen.
Clusters of energy fluctuations are displayed on the surveillance footage that is quickly magnified.
Front and back, up and down, left and right, everywhere.
"Yaga!" The colonel, who was located on the bridge, gave the order with a frightened face. "Push the monitor 600,000 kilometers and I want to know what it is!"
"Sir, it's a starship!" The Monitoring Officer responded with some difficulty. "More than 200 starships! The metal detectors sent earlier showed that the three large metal bodies were also charging, judging by the size of the hull, they were destroyers! β
"Yaga! Order the whole ship to enter the first level of combat readiness! Lock on to the target, i.e. launch the missile! "Although the colonel's face is as ugly as eating Xiang, his psychological quality is still good, and he gave the battle order as soon as possible." At the same time, charge the main guns, the target, the enemy three destroyers! β
It's a very nice reaction, but on the one hand, it is a hasty response, and on the other hand, it is a strict battle. One side still needs to desperately allocate energy, while the other side has already fully charged the energy shield device and main gun, rather than emptying it all for anti-space navigation, as the other side does.
The engine restarts, but the starship can get more power.
Captain Colonel, who forgot to give the order to prevent collisions, was shocked from the bridge to the position of the communications staff officer because of the violent vibration of the hull, and became the first wave of personnel killed on the "Gao Miao" because of the fact that the commander's instrument did not wear a combat helmet and did not even wear a seat belt.
However, he shouldn't have too many regrets, and he is not alone on Huangquan Road. Knowing the terrible nature of the cruisers, more than 90 percent of the 200 starships that were divided into eight fleets concentrated their main guns on the "Gao Miao" at the moment when the order to attack was issued.
The armor that is more than ten meters thick or even thicker is torn apart in the rage of energy cannons, although rows of missile holes frantically shoot hundreds of missiles, but the assault ship also has missiles to defend, most of the missiles are detonated in the void, a small number of missiles fall on the starship, and the starship bursts out of a large hole with a diameter of several meters, but for the starship with a body of 100 meters or even hundreds of meters, as long as the damaged compartment is closed in time and the damage is managed, a small number of missile hits do not pose a fatal threat.
The biggest threat is the nine main guns and more than thirty secondary guns from the "Gao Miao", which doesn't need to take a lot of hits, and maybe it can be smashed by the energy shield of a small starship assault ship.
It's a pity that the "Gao Miao", which was frantically mobilizing energy, only fired dozens of cannons from its nine main guns before the bow of the ship was shattered by countless energy cannons in the void.
The three approaching destroyers took on the most terrible attack, and at the same time dealt the most terrible blow to the Gomiao. In the end, the desperate Gao Miao main gunner aimed the main gun at those pesky little "flies", and hit you with the idea of punching Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will also poke you with the idea.
But the assault ships are small, but they are very slippery, and all those who are smashed by a single shot to break the energy shield often move quickly, no longer attack, and quickly flee to the bottom of deep space.
The most typical feature of air pirates, escaping for their lives is first-class.
Anyway, we have a lot of brothers, and there is no shortage of these two cannons.
The result of firing more than 20 guns in a row was nothing more than the explosion of three starships that were a little slower to react.
Moments before the energy shield was finally full and ready to be raised, the once seemingly indestructible bow armor of the Gordon had been completely torn apart by the assault ships that were chasing it.
