"Sir, something is wrong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 On the ground, Lin Hai, who left by APC, quickly returned to New Haven and caught up with the evacuated troops, but when they just left the city, Sun Dahai walked in front of Lin Hai with a solemn face.
Seeing Sun Dahai's expression, Lin Hai also felt nervous in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Our fleet, when we came to carry out an escort mission, was discovered by the Sijing people." Sun Dahai replied, "According to the time calculation, they should have entered a state of war with the fleet of the Sijing people by now!" ”
"How so?" Lin Hai was surprised, "Didn't they have been hiding all this before?" How did you suddenly find out? ”
"The reason was not stated in the report, and then they were quickly in combat mode, so it was not convenient to inquire about the situation." Sun Dahai replied, "The question now is that the fleet is no longer able to provide us with orbital cover support, do we still want to continue to evacuate?" ”
"Has the fleet reported on the size and composition of the Sijing fleet?" Lin Hai asked.
"Three Destroyers, one Planetary Strike Mothership." Sun Dahai replied, "In terms of numbers, our fleet has an advantage, but Wang Hammer is not a professional starship commander after all, let him command the battle, I am not optimistic about the result." Moreover, the ring ship of the Sijing people did not appear, and at least one of the planetary assault motherships escorting it was by its side, so that we ourselves could be attacked by the ring ship and the planetary assault mothership at any time. ”
"King's hammer?" Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "No, no, no, the fleet commander is not him, he is just the technical officer accompanying the ship, and the fleet commander is someone else." ”
"Someone else?" Sun Dahai was shocked, "Where do we have extra officers to command the space fleet now?" ”
"I got the Kodiak-class battlecruisers at the same time that I got two officers, Torwin and Targate. It's just that they've been hiding their identities and only staying in Kinghammer's secret factory to oversee the construction of the starship, otherwise why do you think I haven't been directly involved in this matter? Naturally, there are more professional people in charge of this. ”
"Tovin? Tagate? Sun Dahai's eyes widened, looking incredulous, "Are you kidding?" Admiral Towin is the commander-in-chief of the Space Fleet of the Global Defense Forces! Vice Admiral Tagate is also the commander of the 1st Mobile Fleet! How could they be in this world?! ”
Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands again, and said: "I don't know about this, anyway, it is Brigadier General Towin and Colonel Tuckett who came here, but there are no generals or lieutenant generals." It could only be a clone of them. ”
"I haven't heard of these two big guys being cloned as well." Sun Dahai muttered, "Forget it, probably because the system is different, they are the space fleet, we are the army, and there are some news that we don't need to know." Then he said to Lin Hai, "If it is a clone of the two of them, then you can rest assured, their genetic prototype is very powerful, when the robot rebellion, if it wasn't for the two of them to turn the tide and defend the wormhole leading from Mars to the earth, otherwise in the early days of the war, human beings would have been attacked by robots into the earth circle, where would we be waiting for our clone soldiers to appear." ”
"But in any case, the ring ship of the Sijing people and another planetary assault carrier did not appear in space orbit, and that is indeed a hidden crisis." "But we can only continue to evacuate." Not to mention that we've left New Haven, and besides, staying in the city isn't necessarily safer. Wouldn't it be easier to escape in the wild? ”
After saying this, Lin Hai got up and walked to the communication station, and said to the communication soldier: "Contact the dockyard factory for me, their position should be able to see what is happening on the track." ”
"Dockyard factory, where is it?" Sun Dahai followed and asked, "I never knew where we built the starship. The Antarctic base does not even have plans for the construction of this. ”
"On the moon, of course." Lin Haitou said without looking back, "In addition to the lunar and satellite orbits, where else is the most convenient and most hidden place to build a starship?" That lunar base has been a top secret from the beginning, and the level of secrecy even exceeds that of the Antarctic base, and even the Sijing people have not discovered the existence of the lunar base, you don't know, it's normal. ”
"I see."
"Report the situation!" In the bridge of the battle ship of the Kodiak-class battlecruiser "Battle Till Dawn", Commodore Towin sat in his seat and shouted loudly.
"The ship was hit in the front!" Admiral Tagate replied, "Most of the plasma energy masses were dodged by us, and a few still hit the ships!" ”
"What is the damage to the ships?" Brigadier Towin continued to ask, he didn't care about anything else, his eyes were still fixed on the main screen, which had recovered the image, the three Sijing Destroyer battleships 1,300 kilometers away, and the bow of the ship once again appeared a high-energy gathering reaction.
"Thanks to the army troops, they have gained a lot of information from the battle with the Sijing people!" After Colonel Tagate pulled his seat belt, he replied, "When our starship was built, it was already made a targeted modification!" The plasma failed to penetrate our armor, the plasma that hit the ships also broke prematurely under the interference of the magnetic field, and the small amount of plasma sputtered on the hull of the ship failed to continue to burn through the ceramic layer and charged armor on the surface! All we suffered was some skin trauma and some loss of external equipment. ”
"A few more hits won't be necessary." Commodore Towin smiled, then resumed his serious expression, "Order the ships, the main guns to open fire, and fire freely!" ”
"Sir, the Bee fighters are approaching, the number is sixty-three, and the distance is less than three hundred kilometers!" At this time, the radarman shouted, "It has entered the air defense circle!" ”
"So what are you waiting for?!" Colonel Tagate shouted, "Captain Obtu, shoot into the air!" ”
"Yes, Colonel!" A black officer responded, then shouted into the platform in front of him, "The fleet enters the air to shoot!" Unmanned interceptors fire! ”
In the blink of an eye, the five starships seemed to have turned into hedgehogs, and the laser emitters scattered all over the starship, as well as the spherical drones floating around the starship, sprayed blue beams one after another after the order was given, and carried out accurate and intensive strafing at the Sijing fighter jets that pounced on the fleet!
As long as it is targeted and locked onto by these laser defense weapons, the Sjer's fragile bee fighter is either sliced to pieces by the laser, or ignited or evaporated under continuous irradiation! For a time, like moths to a fire, all the bee fighters that approached the 200-kilometer range of the Iron Eagle Fleet were destroyed one after another in the face of this dense and accurate anti-aircraft fire, and none of them could break through the fleet's air defense circle!
"The second wave, the number is three hundred and seventy-one!" Less than a minute after the more than 60 fighters were destroyed, a new batch of Sijing fighters who dodged the main gun bomb shot arrived again, but this time the Sijing fighters who arrived seemed to have learned the experience of the previous fighters that were eliminated in a short period of time, and were not very close to the fleet's anti-aircraft fire circle, but constantly at the edge of their own extreme range, shooting at the Iron Eagle fleet, although many plasma beams escaped in the middle due to the disappearance of the magnetic field of the wire harness, but the total number of them was not small, Even if you fire from a distance, one or two shots will always land on those starships.
Although one or two shots can't do much damage to the huge starships, especially since these starships have also targeted defenses, but not to mention, these flying fighters are indeed affecting and interfering with the actions of the Iron Eagle fleet.
The five Kodiak-class battlecruisers can shoot at the eight electromagnetic orbital main guns in front of them, and the muzzles of the loaded heavy armor-piercing shells are filled with blue lightning, constantly shooting at the fleet of the Sijing people more than a thousand kilometers away, and one after another 10-ton heavy alloy projectiles are continuously launched, with the trajectory formed by the electric rays that have not yet dissipated, and pounce on the fleet of the Sijing people at a higher speed!
A Destroyer gunboat that rushed to the front, after being hit by seven shells in a row, the shield overload disappeared, and then it was hit by the armor of the subsequent five alloy shells, which was directly penetrated through the shell, causing the internal facilities and structures to be directly damaged by the shells, especially now that it was gathering energy and preparing for the next round of shelling, it was hit by more than a dozen shells in a row!
The hull of this gunboat, which seemed to be attacked by concentrated fire, suddenly stopped accelerating, slowly falling behind from the fleet ranks, and then the hull twisted and tumbled to the side, and a large amount of fire erupted outward from all parts of the hull, and then disappeared in a vacuum.
Eventually, a series of explosions emerged from the front and middle of the hull and extended throughout the body, followed by a violent explosion that engulfed the entire gunboat in a fireball large enough to envelop the entire ship!
And when the fireball disappeared, all that could be seen in space was less than one-third of the fragments of the original hull flying in all directions in space, as a proof of the traces of the Destroyer's gunship!
"Sir, destroy an enemy ship!" The huge explosion will naturally attract everyone's attention, and the Iron Eagle Fleet that is in battle is no exception, so when the Sijing gunboat exploded, most of the crew members in the battle bridge were a little excited, they were basically new clones cultivated in this time and space, and there were not a few veterans among them, let alone how many were veterans who had fought in space battles. So even if it is a clone soldier, after destroying an enemy ship in the first battle, it is still a warship of an alien civilization, how can he be excited.
But Brigadier General Towin's face was unusually calm, in addition to the fact that he had seen a lot of this situation, there was another point, that is, the battle was not over yet, and he couldn't relax now: "Very good, select the next target, concentrate your firepower and continue to strike!" ”
Then Brigadier General Towin looked back at Colonel Tagate: "What about the Sijing fighter group?" ”
"Sixty-three percent of them have been wiped out, but that planetary assault mothership looks like it's sending out all the fighters, so new fighters are constantly joining the fray!"
"We don't have time to continue in anti-aircraft formation! The Sijing people had disturbed us with artillery bombardment just now, and we couldn't give them that chance again. Commodore Towin said, "Order the ships to send fighter squadrons to expel and destroy the Sijing fighter group!" We need to give the Sijing people another coaxial laser bombardment! ”
"If I can get in along the axis this time, I think I can solve one with one shot." Colonel Tagate smiled and said, "But the Sijing people are now performing a serpentine maneuver, and it is difficult for the coaxial laser cannon to hit those battleships, and even if it hits, it will not be able to hit the vital point." We can only cover their course with intensive artillery bombardment, and you see, the power of the main guns is still enough, and a few more hits will always take them out. ”
"Not necessarily." Brigadier General Towin said with a calm face, "Each ship is ready to fire a salvo of anti-ship missiles, the basic number of which is a hundred. ”
"Anti-ship missiles?" Colonel Tagate looked at Towin suspiciously, "The ability of the Sijing people to intercept missiles is not below us, how many of the five hundred missiles can successfully hit them, it's hard to say." ”
"I didn't expect missiles alone to solve the fight. I just need the Sijing people to slow down a little bit. Brigadier General Towin replied, "Hopefully, the missile swarm will be able to suppress their speed." ”
The order was given, and at the belly and back of the five starships, the dense vertical launch ports opened the cover, revealing the pitch-black missile body hidden below - "Launch!" Brigadier General Towin ordered directly - all missile launches spewed out a large amount of flames and white smoke, and those anti-ship missiles painted black came out one after another, like a large black net, the net towards the Sijing fleet, which was still approaching at high speed in the distance!
After giving the order to launch the missile, Brigadier General Towin gave another order: "Change the course of the fleet, the right full rudder, speed two, change the course and return to the main rudder." ”
"Are you going to use the battle line?" Hearing this order, Colonel Tagate asked, "With the broadside tactics, each battleship can only use half of the main gun firepower?" Or do you want to use a straight line acceleration behind enemy lines on the side side to avoid the fire of the Sijing people? ”
"I just want to do it quickly." Commodore Towin replied, and at this moment, under his orders, the fleet began to turn rapidly to the right, and because it was a full rudder at high speed, the whole hull also made a constant "gurgling" sound, as if the hull would break in the next moment! But this is just a sound, Towin still calmly said to Colonel Tagate under this voice, "The commander is in the ground transfer, but there is still a planetary assault mothership in the Sijing fleet we saw just now that has not appeared on the battlefield, and the ring ship is also not there. I can't afford to delay too much time here and cause the Commander to be attacked by them on the ground. ”
"It's not easy." Tagate glanced at the Scrystalline fleet on the main screen, two Destroyer gunships and a planetary assault mothership, approaching the Iron Eagle fleet in an inverted formation, "I estimate it will take at least half an hour to deal with them." (To be continued.) )
