Chapter 438: Fierce Battle Triumphant Fortress (2)
Time passed minute by minute.
The Seventh Dragoon Fleet's flagship Dragonwrath-class mothership Halo.
General Casamolin sat on his command seat and watched the small bright spots in the starry sky in the distance.
These highlights are all enemy explosions.
It has been half an hour since the Seventh Fleet engaged the enemy fleet.
Although he also wondered why the enemy who had already completed the formation would move again, now he had the answer.
"General, the enemy's suicide planet has inflicted heavy damage on the battleship Matron, do you want to continue to maintain the formation?" His lieutenant whispered in his ear.
"Get its team out of the battle formation, and return to the team when the repair is complete." At this time, it was an important time to seize the lead, and Casamolin was naturally unwilling to let the battleship Matron, which had dropped in speed, drag it back.
Drip, drip!
The alarm sounded.
This is the sound of an enemy suicide squad rushing out from behind an asteroid passing through the battle formation, illuminating and locking on the mothership.
But Casamolin sat there as if he hadn't heard.
Meaningless! If this attack is a warship against humans, then they have now succeeded.
The escort ship's main gun can't be charged faster than the attacker's, but this is the Covenant's warship!
Teleportation boarding forces can wipe out enemies in less than thirty seconds, and such suicide attacks are pointless.
Having learned their lesson, the Nala unleashed a mana fluctuation that quickly exposed the enemies behind the asteroid.
Pillars of green light swept across the universe, and huge fireworks burst out.
This is the scene of an asteroid loaded with a nuclear bomb being detonated, forming a chain of explosions that stretches into the distance.
"Good guys, these people have spent a lot of money." Casamolin lamented that he had not imagined that such a crooked shot would create such a spectacular view.
It's a pity that the impatient humans exposed their intentions and let a good hand go to waste......
At the same time, the escort ship on the right wing of Xiu Baiying's fleet, which had just rushed into the asteroid belt and had not had time to turn, was affected by a chain explosion.
The violent explosion directly tore apart the hull of the frigate, and although the destroyer was still roughly intact, it was also incapacitated due to the high temperature.
"!" Admiral Marne cursed angrily, this stupid charge not only failed to hurt the enemy, but left his own people in the universe.
"Your Excellency, the enemy has completed the turn, and the second strike is expected to arrive in a few minutes!" In the last round of shelling, Xiu Baiying's fleet was eaten hard.
There was no way, the price of a forced advance was to meet the enemy's first blow with a flank.
Destroyer frigates without heavy shields simply could not effectively resist the main guns of enemy battleships, five frigates, three destroyers, one cruiser, a total of nine battleships disappeared in the sea of stars.
Six thousand three hundred sailors are buried forever in the great grave.
"Turn to the enemy! Small ships seek out asteroids as cover and ignite all the camouflage asteroid engines! Admiral Marne's voice was low, but full of anger.
As the former commander of the Army Corps of the Meat Grinder, Marne was also the commander of the fleet, but he had been commanding the landing combat force.
The strangulation on the ground, he always felt extremely cruel, and every day just by seeing the long list of the dead, he felt numb.
Because there are too many, after a long time, it will simply make people fall into numbness.
But now, he felt sadness and cruelty in his heart again, and in an instant just ten minutes ago, thousands of soldiers had disappeared.
Naval warfare is even more cruel and inhumane than land warfare, and human life is even more insignificant......
There was a green color in the observation glasses, and the second round of enemy shelling came!
The battleships unfurled their shields, trying to protect the only two motherships behind them, and the cruisers concentrated their shield energy in the bow in the hope of withstanding enemy attacks.
As for destroyers and frigates, they can only gamble with their lives.
Fortunately, the countless floating planets in the asteroid belt can be used as high-quality cover, so that these unshielded warships have a higher chance of survival.
"Encounter!" This cry sounded in every battleship that was attacked.
The power bay supervisor nervously watched the Watcher Peak, trying to keep the shield output at its highest.
"The encounter is over! Fight back! The command from the bridge came from the headset, and the oil-stained supervisor ordered loudly: "Shift the shield energy channel to the fire zone, lower the peak!" ”
Although AI can also be controlled, at such times, the veterans in the power cabin trust their hands more.
Like a puzzle piece, seventeen key paper-shaped doors were opened, and an unobstructed energy channel was opened.
The surging energy gathered in the afterburner chamber of the main gun, and the constricting ions also entered the afterburner chamber!
The high-speed centrifuge is fusing the constriction ions with the energy of the main gun at tens of millions of revolutions per second, creating a terrifying stream of ions that pierces through the heavy armor.
"Reloaded!! Lockdown complete! "No matter what time it is, the voice of the fire coordinator is the voice that his own people want to hear the most.
This represents the possibility of victory!
Only a constant attack can bring victory to the fleet.
"Fire!"
With Admiral Ma's order, countless bright white afterburner ion streams broke through the shackles of the constricting ions and flew straight towards the distant starry sky.
However, it's not over yet.
"Count battle damage! Unleash the anti-aircraft array! Motherships step up to release fighters! A series of orders were given, and Marne knew that the battle had just begun.
Anti-aircraft array, two autonomous air defense platforms carried by the cruiser with the removal of the carrier aircraft module.
The intelligence of human beings lies in the fact that they can choose the corresponding equipment according to the different attributes of the battle, and they will be smart to find a way to deal with the battle with the enemy, which is obviously weak in the battle of the enemy.
The anti-aircraft array is one of their little cleverness.
The autonomously deployable anti-aircraft array was breaking away from the cruiser's belly and heading towards the gap in the fleet.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the enemy's carrier-based aircraft formation to appear inside the radar.
Six shots at a time, with tracer dot defense ion clusters intertwined in the universe to debut the fire net.
These thirty-two air defense arrays have become the first barrier against carrier-based aircraft!
"Speed up the damage management team, be sure to repair the power compartment before the enemy's carrier-based aircraft arrive!" The destroyer USS Merion of the Third Fleet was unable to fully hide behind the asteroid, and the power bay on the right side was severely damaged.
However, what is more serious is that the explosion on the right power compartment actually affected the only two remaining power compartments on the left side, and now the Merian is basically in a state of no power.
Fortunately, the autonomous maneuvering facilities in the front can also control the hull, so that it can ensure that it will not hit the asteroid in front of it headlong due to the impact force.
It's a pity that the Nala people are not ready to give them more time.
Two attack aircraft appeared a thousand and three hundred kilometers to the lower left of the Merian.
A friendly interceptor tried to stop them from approaching, but failed.
The interceptor, whose side-rolling thruster was injured by the attack aircraft's close-in guns, crashed headlong into the asteroid that was used as cover.
Inside the bridge, everyone looked at the two approaching attack aircraft.
The female communications officer began to pray.
The sound of her prayer lifted everyone's hearts.
"Emergency energy transferred to the shield!" What does that mean? It is to give up all hope of survival, and instead choose to delay the speed of the destruction of the battleship.
After Captain Li Ze gave this order, he looked at the officers below.
"You have three minutes to evacuate!" When he said that, he found that none of them were moving, and the damn communication soldier was still praying!
"Get out of here! Waiting here to die?? Roaring loudly, in fact, Li Ze didn't know if this weak shield could block the attack plane that was about to complete the lock, but he still chose to let them escape.
Pale green points of light have condensed to the left of the enemy's nose, which is a sign of the firing of the magic cannon.
No one moved, everyone stupidly glanced at the roaring commander on the command platform, and then turned their gaze to the enemy plane, which had almost attached to the destroyer.
Escape? Where can you escape?
There are no planets within 70,000 kilometers around, and the nearest planet is also more than 100,000 kilometers away, and the final result of the rescue capsule is an iron coffin floating in the universe.
The lock-in warning was getting louder and louder, and the seventh-level warning even overshadowed Li Ze's roar.
This means that in the next second, everything will cease to exist.
The green light flickered, turning into the scythe of death......
Seven minutes passed, and the Xiu Bai Ying fleet finally withstood the enemy's carrier-based aircraft strike.
But the list of warships on the star map made Marne's heart ache sharply.
This time, their losses were unusually heavy.
In just seven minutes, four battleships were sunk, including the battleship Tree Vine, which was used as a shield for the mothership.
That battleship was a Brilliant-class battleship, a third-generation defensive battleship.
It was sunk by these damn vampires.
The battleship exploded in three short pieces and sank completely......
The heavy battleships that concentrated on attacking the frigate mothership, in this case, even sank three other battleships, and the remaining battleships were basically hung up one by one!
This is the combat effectiveness of the dragoon fleet......
Marne understands that victory is not something that can be achieved by imagination alone, and that he must find a breakthrough.
"Battle report!" The first mate transmitted the battle report of the counterattack just now to the big screen, and the huge one made people's faces turn blue.
Without the containment of carrier-based aircraft formations, the enemy ate the attack.
Except for one destroyer, which was sunk by saturation fire, the enemy survived the attack perfectly.
In a few minutes, the second wave of attacks will arrive, but how many more warships will be able to hold out?
Marne can't figure it out......
"Friendly forces enter the war zone!" The voice of the communications officer in my ears made the somewhat dull atmosphere of the bridge a little better.
The Phan fleet is coming!
Although the Parn fleet only has about 70 old warships, and the ships are a little old, it does not mean that they cannot penetrate the armor.
Especially since their cruisers also carry Thor's hammer!
This artifact, which ignores the enemy's shield, in front of it, all beings are equal.
"Accelerate the damage control, we must shoot before the next enemy shelling arrives!" Marne certainly knows what to do to get the most out of it.
That is to let the enemy expose the flanks to friendly forces.
What the Cyborg fleet has to do now is to preemptively attract the enemy's attention and waste their reload time before the Parn fleet enters the Nala sensor.
This will give the Pahn fleet a chance to shoot and give them the best fighting power in Mjolnir!
As long as they can damage or even sink the enemy's mothership, the tide of battle will once again tilt in favor of the numerically superior humans.
Everyone in the bridge held their breath, and the array observers did not dare to be careless, as long as the enemy had the slightest tendency to turn, even if it was not reloaded, the fleet had to shoot immediately.
"Eighty percent energy filling, bunching ion implantation begins!" The voice of the Fire Coordinator stirred everyone's spirits.
"Energy refilling complete! It is expected to enter the shooting process in seventy seconds! "Seventy seconds to go!
However, at this moment, the formation of the Star Turi Pahn fleet was out of order!
"General! Parn's fleet is attacked by enemy carrier-based aircraft! The communications officer's panicked voice caused Marne to cover his forehead.
How can it be......... The Pan fleet was discovered at a distance of 220,000 kilometers from the Nala?
Otherwise, how can you explain that they have just entered the attack range of 120,000 kilometers and were directly hit by the carrier-based aircraft group?!
"Enhanced Shield Energy!" Marne knows that no matter what, the situation of shooting each other has been facilitated now, and there is no way to avoid it!
Almost at the same time, a bright white beam crossed a green one.
"Encounter!!" The green light in front of him made Marne very uncomfortable.
"The cruiser Lahr sank!!" Such warnings that have not been reported as war damage are generally very ominous......
"Mothership Sarida suffers aftermath damage! Decks 4 to 8 are damaged!! Sure enough, the report that followed was almost desperate......
The only two motherships could not avoid this attack, and one has lost half of its combat power.
How do you survive the fleet next?
Soon, the report of the battle damage of the Parn fleet was also delivered.
Not expecting such a rapid arrival of the enemy's air group, the cruisers arranged in the front row suffered heavy losses......
Marne sat down in the command seat.
Lieutenant General Cullen has no problem with his decision, and if it were him, he would have made the same choice.
But none of them estimated that the enemy's range of the enemy was far more than their own, and they could only say that they were crushed, whether it was equipment or tactics, it was the Nala people who had an absolute advantage.
So far, the Nala have sunk and damaged more than 30 warships at the cost of only four warships, 17 of which are completely irreparable......
So, where is the light of victory, which has been so dim that it cannot be seen?
More than 700,000 kilometers behind the Seventh Dragoon Fleet, Karma parked the transport ship in the asteroid belt.
This asteroid belt, which stretches all the way to the battlefield, has become her best equipment manufacturing factory.
Countless tools of transformation poured out from the unfolded containers, devouring the surrounding asteroids.
As for why she chose this place, Karma was extremely depressed.
"Why do these idiots like to install fission weapons on asteroids? Stupid! That's why she delayed at least half an hour to find degradable matter away from the battlefield.
As the energy base became higher and higher, the energy decomposed by the "ghost" gradually gathered a light cluster of tens of centimeters in Kama's hands.
Huge amounts of energy are tumbling back and forth in it, and if it were not for the core, this kind of thing could easily turn thousands of kilometers around it into cosmic garbage.
"Okay, the motivation is there, let's make some good toys that will give them fun." Cama admits that he and Barrett have discussed philosophy a few times------ and that, as the name suggests, they have only met face-to-face about the gap between human and nonhuman ideas.
Kama also learned to say strange things, only when no one was around, of course.
The light of the battlefield in the distance flickered, causing her to speed up her hands.
Countless shadows formed behind the asteroid, and these shadows gradually revealed their hideous appearance............
