0775 Battle of the Behemoths (2)
0775
In the orbit of the Earth's satellite, a battle broke out that was not known to the people on Earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the distance between the two fleets was close to 3,000 kilometers, the planetary assault mothership of the Sijing people sent 500 fighters to pounce on the Iron Eagle fleet, preparing to weaken the Iron Eagle fleet first!
"Sir, the Sijing fleet has sent a group of fighters, the model is confirmed, it is a new type of fighter, and our side is tentatively named the Bee Fighter, with a number of five hundred." Even if those small Sijing fighters are so small, the optical detectors on the Iron Eagle starship can detect them at such a distance, not to mention that there is not only one detection method on the starship, as soon as the planetary assault mothership released those small fighters, they were captured by the probe and signals.
"Start the retro, slow down the whole fleet, keep the speed of travel at the first cosmic speed, and convert the viewing bridge into a combat bridge." The tail engine flames of the five giant ships weakened, the front armor plates opened a few neat gaps, and then neatly sprayed out blue pillars of fire, and the five battleships slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire bridge area where the ships were located, including Commodore Towin, also began to descend downward with the sound of the siren, and after that, a heavy armor plate covered their original positions.
Brigadier General Towin gave one order after another and then asked the radarman: "What is the speed of the Bee fighter now?" ”
The radarman looked at the screen and replied without looking back: "After they left the mothership, they kept a speed of 20 kilometers per second!" Expect to contact this fleet in 150 seconds! ”
"Can such a small fighter stay at the third speed all the time? The technical strength is really high. Commodore Towin nodded slightly, then continued to order, "The fleet is unfolded, and the enemy is engaged head-on, each ship is loaded with submunitions for the forward main guns, and the Bee fighters are targeted, and after the loading is over, the salvo is rounded, and the ships are free to fire." After the enemy aircraft approached the air defense circle of the fleet, the laser point defense system was in full swing with anti-aircraft fire. ”
"Sir, do you need to send our fighters?" An officer sitting to the left of Commodore Towin's command seat asked, "There are so many enemy fighters that even if the anti-aircraft fire is fully fired, we will not be able to destroy five hundred in a short period of time. ”
"I don't have that concern, Colonel Tagate." The brigadier general replied, "We have enough anti-aircraft fire against those small fighters." Remember the robot warplanes we faced before? That's a lot more. ”
"But then we knew exactly how the robots worked, and how skilled they were. Sijing people are a civilization that we don't know much about. "And then our fleet was much larger and more well equipped, and now we don't have destroyers or frigates, all five ships are battle cruisers." ”
"Well, if you're so worried...... Commodore Towin shook his head, and then ordered the officer on the other side, "Order all ships to launch unmanned tactical interceptors, all equipped with fleet air defense modules, and fighter squadrons on all ships ready to attack." ”
"Yes, sir."
When Commodore Towin's order was issued, the armor on both sides of the hull of the five starships retreated, revealing a huge hatch fifty meters long and ten meters high, as these hatches slowly opened, spherical objects with a diameter of five meters poured out of the open hatches, and quickly flew to all corners around the starships, forming a protective net in a short time, and these spherical aircraft, the number released by the five starships also reached half of the number of Sijing fighter groups.
These are unmanned tactical interceptors, which are under the unified command of the starship's central computer and deployed around the starship, and can be equipped with various weapon modules including anti-aircraft missiles, electromagnetic orbital guns, laser dot matrix defense systems, and anti-ship missiles to provide additional strike firepower of the starship.
However, because it can't carry too much weapons, ammunition and energy, it is usually used to strengthen the air defense and defense capabilities of its starships - even if it runs out of ammunition, it can also block the enemy's artillery fire before consuming the enemy's artillery fire, not to mention that these UAVs can be equipped with a wide variety of modules, due to the convenience of design, the engineers of the Global Defense Force in another time and space, as long as they have any wonderful ideas, will use this modular UAV to verify their new inventions, Therefore, this spherical drone can be replaced with the most modules among the various drones in service with the global defense forces.
While the drones were deploying automatically, the five starships were able to attack the turrets in front of them, and they were all loaded with shells and began shelling!
There is no sound in the universe, but those turrets equipped with three 24-inch electromagnetic railguns, they still bring some vibration when shooting, and magnetic acceleration cannot completely cancel out all the recoil, especially such a huge caliber, the mass of the projectile used is also large, and the recoil generated will not be small, which is why such a huge starship, the main gun caliber used is only a 24-inch railgun, and there is no larger caliber, in addition to the smaller caliber can be equipped with more turrets, there is another reason, It is an oversized caliber main gun, and the recoil generated when fired will even affect the navigation state of the starship.
And these Iron Eagle starships, each of the twelve main guns of the ship, can shoot forward, enough eight, when these turrets fire a salvo, the recoil can cause the whole ship to react with vibration, the closer to the gun mount, the stronger this feeling.
And when the forty 24-inch electromagnetic railguns fired a salvo, the forty huge projectiles with the blue lightning that had not yet dissipated rushed towards those Sijing Sbee fighters at a higher speed, and after ten seconds, the distance between the two sides was narrowed, and then when they were about to contact the group, these shells automatically exploded, and the thousands of metal balls the size of ping-pong balls carried by each shell turned into a huge net at the same speed, directly covering those bee fighters!
The speed was too fast, the distance was too close, the bee fighters could not dodge this large net formed by the metal balls in time, and the dozens of leading bee fighters were smashed through the shell of the fuselage one after another under the high-speed impact of the metal balls, causing damage to the internal structure, and either lost power and could only float in space -- the continuous impact of the metal balls will cancel out part of the inertia -- or they were broken into larger pieces by the metal balls under the continuous impact! What's even more unlucky is that after being destroyed by the energy center, it directly turns into a flash of blue sparks!
Although the fleet of the Sijing people is backed by the earth, the fleet of the Iron Eagle is not worried that the metal balls will spread to the surface of the earth. Small metal balls the size of ping-pong balls simply can't pass through the atmosphere, and they are completely burned out by the time they enter the atmosphere. The material from which the metal ball is made is not a high-temperature, friction-resistant material.
They will not worry about accidentally injuring various space instruments of human beings, because the human satellites in this direction have all been destroyed in advance by the Sijing people, and only a few of Iron Eagle's own hidden satellites are still working nearby, but they are not within the range covered by the metal ball!
After the salvo, the starships of the Iron Eagle began to fire freely - due to the automatic loading technology and the more convenient loading of electromagnetic railgun shells, the firing of the main guns of each ship has never stopped, and a large number of sub-bombs carrying thousands of metal balls continue to explode in the Sijing Human-Bee fighter group, destroying one after another Bee fighters shrouded in metal balls!
As a result, after several rounds of shelling by these Bee fighters, the distance between them was wider, farther and more sparse.
At the same time, when these fighters were hit by long-range anti-fighter fire, the fleet of the Sijing people increased its speed again, reaching the second cosmic velocity, and the planetary assault mothership also released a new group of fighters to replenish the losses!
"Sir, the second wave of the Sijing people's swarm fighter group has set off, and the number is two hundred!" In Iron Eagle's starship, the radarman reported to Commodore Towin again.
"How many are there in the first wave?"
"Three hundred and seventy-seven...... No, three hundred and sixty-four! Due to the distance between them, the attack effect of the submunitions has been reduced rapidly! ”
"But the formation of those Bee fighters was also broken up, wasn't it?" Brigadier General Towin said calmly, "We've seen quite a few of these tactics. Order all ships and stern turrets to continue to intercept fighters with submunitions, and other main guns to be reloaded with heavy armor-piercing shells. ”
"They can dodge this distance." Colonel Tagate said, "We've all seen the maneuverability of those Sylvanic starships in space. ”
"I know, just get ready." Commodore Towin glanced at his old friend and smiled, "The enemy fleet distance?" ”
"1,641 kilometers, and it's still rapidly shortening!"
"Colonel Tagate?" Hearing this data, Brigadier General Towin glanced at his old friend again.
Colonel Tagate immediately ordered loudly: "The whole fleet of coaxial pulse laser cannons is ready, and when the enemy fleet is advancing 1,500 kilometers, it will lock on the enemy planetary assault mothership at the same time!" The right to launch the first shelling is controlled by the flagship! ”
As soon as his voice fell, the bow armor of the five starships spread out to both sides in five seconds, and a black hole hatch was directly exposed, but then, blue light continued to light up from the cabin, and then became brighter and brighter! But nothing flew out of this hatch! And all over the body of each starship, there are constantly subtle eruptions of fire, but they only spray once, stop, and spray again.
At the same time, in the bridges of each starship, an officer belonging to an operating platform located under the command seat, in the screen in front of him, the planetary assault mothership of the Sijing people has gradually been slowly encased in the center by a red circle of light!
As the planetary assault mothership was enclosed by the red circle of light of each ship, the communications officer of the starship where Commodore Towin was located reported: "Sir, all ships have locked on the planetary assault mothership, and all the artillery launch rights have been handed over to the command line!" ”
"The enemy ship has entered a distance of fifteen hundred kilometers!" The radarman then reported as well.
"Coaxial laser cannon, shoot!" Colonel Tagate immediately pressed a red-glowing button on the workbench in front of him.
Those blue-and-white bow hatches, and at the same time spewed out pillars of blue and white light, instantly hit the Sijing Planetary Assault Mothership that was originally hiding behind the three Destroyer gunships!
The shield of the Planetary Assault Mothership only flashed, and then disappeared, and the five huge pillars of light not only easily overloaded its protection, but also directly pierced through all of its outer armor and inner deck! Those heavy armor can't hold out longer than its shields!
A large amount of dissimilar metals melted by the high temperature of the laser either evaporate directly, or turn into a liquid state, scatter in all directions, float out of the ship, and then re-condense to form space junk!
The pillar of light did not last long, and after three seconds, five pillars of blue and white light disappeared at the same time. If it weren't for the fact that you could see the five extra holes in the hull of the planetary assault mothership, and the large amount of recondensed metal garbage floating around the ship, it would feel as if the laser salvo just now didn't exist.
"Report the effects of the shelling." As soon as the shelling was over, Brigadier General Towin asked, "Have you destroyed the planetary assault carrier?" ”
"The Sijing Planetary Assault Mothership is still moving!" The radarman reported, "It's not inertial movement!" There's also a lot of energy reaction inside the ship! Its engine continues to work! ”
"It's okay to be pierced through five big holes by a high-energy pulsed laser?" Brigadier General Towin shook his head and said, "The Sijing people's ship design seems to be better than ours. ”
"Now is not the time to praise them!" Colonel Tagate said, "The three Destroyer gunboats have a high-energy reaction in the tunnel, and they are about to return fire!" ”
"Well, the range of both sides is about the same?" Brigadier General Towin was slightly surprised, and then ordered loudly, "Each ship increases the reactor output, activates the charged armor, and each prepares to maneuver to avoid enemy shelling!" Be careful, each ship calculates its own dodge lane, don't bump into your own people! ”
As soon as Brigadier Towin's words fell, the three Sijing Destroyer gunboats more than a thousand kilometers away erupted a large string of purple-red plasma energy clusters, rushing towards the Iron Eagle fleet!
"Enemy shooting! The plasma came into contact with us two seconds later! ”
"Calculate the trajectory, and each ship evases!" Colonel Tagate roared, his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the seat, he knew that two seconds of time could not provide much time to dodge, shouting this was just a matter of habit and responsibility, and then, it depended on whether the armor of these Kodiak-class battlecruisers could withstand the direct attack of the Sijing plasma weapons!
"Steady!" These were the last two words shouted by Brigadier General Towin before the plasma regiment hit, and after that, the contents of the main observation screens in various places in the battle bridge were replaced by red light! (To be continued.) )
