Chapter 468: Technology and Combat Power
Semencaria, the central accelerator that has always been tasked with separating Lilalane, has ushered in a hybrid fleet that has always been huge.
The central flagship, the USS Yoru-Lance Core Decisive Mothership.
This is a completely different fleet battle mothership from the Skyfury.
If the Dragon's Wrath class of the Nala people is a carrier-based aircraft carrier specially used for naval battles, then this decisive battle mothership named after the Holy Dragon was built to defeat them.
Huge? It can't be described that way. Because it's a huge battleship dock.
Modification tools have given humans unparalleled manufacturing capabilities, and this decisive battle mothership is specially built based on this theory.
The oval-shaped hull is huge, and the interior space is also wide and scary.
Soft armor, which is made entirely of modification tools, is its most powerful defense system.
Due to the particularity of the transformation tool, it can be said that this thing is basically invincible in naval battles.
Its engine staggered everyone, and the energy supply mechanism made all the power compartment supervisors spew three liters of blood.
A complete ion pulse ejector replaces the original heavy ion engine.
The peculiar energy converter also replaced the fuel conversion power compartment.
Without the previous flammable and explosive power compartment, not only does it save space, but the safety of the overall thruster has also increased by several levels.
With these eight gigantic jets, this giant weighing 1.2 million tons has very strong power.
And the carrier-based aircraft used in this mothership is not the standard fighter BDX-11 of the current Missetta fleet.
Not to mention the BDX-15 that is still being produced in the series, but the special unmanned aerial vehicle ---MDX-02 Holy Dragon's Breath.
In order to let this holy dragon in the universe have the combat power of a dragon, Barrett specially asked Cama to design this unmanned aerial vehicle for transformation tools with reference to the BDX series of fighters.
More than half of the space inside this huge battleship is made up of modified tools for compressed storage.
And the number of wartime standby fighters is a hundred.
Simply saying that the number of a hundred aircraft cannot be called a high load of aircraft, but its firepower is not finished after a few waves, but perpetually moving!
Using transformation tools to directly form fighters in the ship, and constantly replenishing the number of consumption, this is the king of shamelessness.
Lao Tzu heaped you to death with an endless sea of people, not to mention that even if it is unmanned, the combat power of this fighter is by no means inferior to any active carrier-based aircraft.
With the endless spear of war and the powerful shield of war, this battleship has truly become a decisive battle mothership.
It's a pity that even with the help of retrofit tools, there is no way to quickly produce such a battleship.
Because although it is powerful, the biggest difficulty is that the escort ships of a full half of the fleet of fifty ships are the most difficult.
No, even if production is stepped up, the second battleship of the Celayasis did not catch up with this sortie.
The entire Blazing Light Fleet is a huge spherical array, with eighty-eight large and small warships, enveloping this big guy impenetrably.
And the Blazing Light fleet, which had formed this formation, was waiting for their guests to arrive.
Leigh Laine's convoy of escorts.
The convoy of thirty-seven troop carriers plus escort ships is now in a dilemma.
Moving forward, they were unable to conquer the Ring of Actos and retreated, their accelerator to Liralin already held by the enemy.
The data transmitted back from the array of sensors around the accelerometer silenced everyone.
More than 100 warships, large and small, are 80,000 kilometers directly in front of the passage of the central accelerator.
"We will definitely not be able to defeat them head-on, when will the reinforced fleet arrive?" As the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Dilimar asked helplessly.
Soon, the answer came out, but it made his throat dry.
There will be no reinforcements.
Leela Lane was also encircled, and the enemy actually had more than 300 warships to join the battle, and the ground troops were as many as 100,000.
And the siege of Lilalane was none other than the national glory of the Miseta fleet.
The Terrasis-class motherships USS Fury, Cirrus, and Thunderlight in the center are very conspicuous, and it is the warplanes released by these motherships that shredder the not-so-large orbital dock of Lilarain.
As soon as I came up, the opposite side chose the general.
The loss of the airport by the "orbital dockyard............ means that every naval officer knows it.
It means that he was locked up in the earth.
The ground force of 100,000 people is only decent in terms of numbers, and if these 100,000 people alone want to occupy Lilalay, Dilimar does not believe it very much.
However, what made him care was the assault warships that were as high as more than seventy.
100,000 people? One brigade, ten squadrons, how to use more than 70 assault ships?
Just as he was wondering, the battle report arrived.
"The enemy has captured Harni and nearby towns!" The adjutant's voice was like five thunderbolts, so that Dilimar almost didn't stand still.
"Aren't there 14,000 defenders there? They also have new mechs! He knew that the worse the fighting was, the worse he would have to find a way to break through the blockade and return to Lilla Lane.
"The enemy also looks like they're equipped with new mechs, and they're superior in numbers." The adjutant reluctantly explained, he only saw the general idea from the timely battle report that came back.
Gritting his teeth, Lieutenant General Dilimar chose to retreat.
Ground forces were recovered and evacuated from the northern sector.
But they could not storm the enemy's lines, and could only choose the civilian passage to return to Liralian.
Without the accelerator, this trip would have been at least doubled, but he didn't dare to gamble, he didn't dare to gamble all the power in his hands......
Barrett, on the other hand, was at this time in command of ground operations at Lilla Lane.
This time, the Southern Star Region let go of its old roots, and not only the newly formed fleet entered the battle, but the newly formed army ---- Xuanli Brigade also joined the battle.
This new concept of integrated army represents the best example of a synthetic army.
The 2.4-meter-tall miniature mecha is equipped with two for each team.
And the five teams, one team, are also equipped with two eight-meter-high general-purpose combat mechas.
Ten squads, one combat squadron, and four specialized artillery mechs for bombardment of solid targets.
In this way, a combat squadron of 3,400 people has the firepower of 100 miniature mechas, 20 general-purpose mechas, and 4 heavy mechas.
A full-fledged squadron is composed of two combat squadrons, one logistics squadron, and one engineering and support squadron.
What is this concept? In the previous army, there were only 300 mechs in a brigade.
And now, one squadron is outnumbering the former.
Although the miniature mecha is not as strong as the previous heavy mecha in terms of firepower, the actual combat effect is not much inferior.
Because in addition to the siege of the previous mecha, once the field battle is a large target, the current miniature mecha? They are infantry reapers.
Unified command is carried out directly by the giant AI on the mothership, not only information integration, but also command interspersed is far superior to that of soldiers.
In this battle, Barrett let the whole of Frost see the combat effectiveness of the new army.
Harni, Boliveira Cathedral.
Barrett is watching the battle on a virtual sandbox.
"Although these guys are well equipped, it's a pity that they are too vegetable." Barrett said.
The commander of the forward operation was his old partner, Major General Madur.
Madur, who had finally been promoted to general in his lifetime, was fighting a bloody battle against the enemy.
The first squadron of the Xuanli Brigade is fighting hard under the enemy's three sides.
This was the first major battle of this new army, and it reflected a number of problems.
Because the old rules of the army --- to pass on the help, even if it is a new army, as long as the veterans are interspersed among the recruits as advisers, they can get a certain guarantee in terms of combat effectiveness and organization.
But the problem is that the enemy's equipment is actually not bad, but it is not as complete as Barrett's preparation.
Against the old army, their mechs can take a very big advantage, after all, they can't effectively penetrate the Saker alloy armor.
In the face of the wolf-like miniature mecha and infantry of the Xuanli brigade, the defenders of Lila Lane soon retreated layer by layer.
Curiously, after the capture of Harni, the troops advancing north met with great resistance.
A peculiar clone appears on the battlefield.
"Alas, it's really a consumable, this kind of brainless suicide attack, and it has a fight with an AI-operated miniature mecha." Rudy, who is already qualified to be a colonel, is now the operational staff officer of the Xuanli brigade.
In fact, he was still Barrett's adjutant, but he was transferred from the former Airborne Forces to the current brigade headquarters.
The Nala who can use the self-detonation magic appear in large numbers on the path of the first squadron.
They say they are Nala, they look like humans, they say they are humans, but they know magic.
The only magic that can be done is self-destructing.
Red magic bursts continued to explode in the forward line, causing the defense line that the First Squadron had built up with great difficulty to collapse again.
"Retreat to the second line of defense and hold your ground!" Madur looked at the big screen with a solemn face, although the soldiers did not suffer much losses, but they were once again compressed by the enemy, which was not a good thing.
"Let's get squads 2 through 6 to change their burst weapons, we're going to hold these guys down." The standard configuration of the miniature mecha is to install a cannon in one hand and a rocket projection device in the other, but now in the face of these guys who have teleported and self-detonated, they are a little weak in response.
If you get too close, you can't fire directly, because some of the things you scatter don't know how to distinguish friend from foe.
Lighting a cigar, Madur connected to the brigade headquarters.
"Cannon fodder is losing a little fast, and we need supplies." In the face of his old comrades-in-arms, he doesn't need to talk about calves with a vain head, and he can say anything when he opens his mouth.
"Reinforcements will arrive soon, and a transit airport is being built on the Harni side." Barrett of course knew that this kind of stalemate with casualties almost every second would inevitably consume a large number of soldiers and mechs, so the second squadron had already set off.
However, since the airfield is still under construction, they can only maneuver on land, which will take time.
"In the blink of an eye, you have become Lao Tzu's boss, really his grandmother's ......" Madur looked at Barrett in a general's uniform with a complicated expression, this thing now has no military rank.
What rank do you say he is? He is now the Governor of the Southern Sector, the man who wields all the military power.
Military rank or something, it doesn't mean anything to him at all.
"So I bribed you with a case of Hana cigars, do you know how much it is? Old stuff. Barrett laughed, the old guy had complained about it more than once.
"You are now rich and rival the country......" Halfway through speaking, Madur coughed and changed the subject: "The enemy is deadlocked with us, and it is a good time to exert force from behind, and quickly send special forces to disrupt them......"
As he spoke, he kept glancing at the entrance to the bridge.
Seeing his virtue, Barrett smiled.
It's Lieutenant Colonel Hirsey coming in, and the old guy is pretending to be serious.
"Ammunition consumption is okay, but there is a certain shortage of emergency repair parts." Lieutenant Colonel Hirsay's voice was cold, which embarrassed Madur a little.
"I've already asked for supplies, and we'll be there soon." Madur replied with a low brow.
It wasn't until the lieutenant colonel left that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, try to be as fast as possible, we'll be a lot more stressed after nightfall." Of course, Madur knew that this kind of fighting, once it was night, except for scouts and mechas, would not be able to exert combat effectiveness.
"This husband and wife can't work together, it's terrible." As if deliberately speaking to Barrett, Madur cut off the communication.
"I'm curious about how Phoenix met her stepmother, who was only a few years older than her." Last summer, the two finally got together.
"General, the 4th Squadron has now advanced to the outskirts of the town of Dickad." Rudy just laughed, he knew it was better to be stupid for this kind of thing.
This is asking if there is a night street fight going on.
Looking at his watch, Barrett shook his head and said, "It's better to slow down the progress and let them get stuck on the important road for the time being." ”
On the sand table, the enemy's main force never appeared, which made him a little uncomfortable.
If his guess is correct, the enemy is now using these self-detonating cannon fodder to attract fire.
Soon, after completing the shrinkage of forces, the enemy will launch a counterattack.
Unless the commander on the other side is a stupid pig, he will definitely not suffer a loss, and he will still be dead in his head.
In the past two days, due to the lack of clarity about Barrett's money-burning style of play, which is completely inferior to the loss, the Lilla Lane defenders have been beaten and retreated.
But soon the enemy will respond, and that's what Barrett wants to see.
Turn over the hole cards one by one and let him see what good things Buzz is hiding here!
And at this time, the Yoru Lances decisive battle mothership, in the bridge.
Lieutenant General Asarez looked at the war zone star map with a sneer on his face.
"It's so easy to get rid of us? Order the cruiser fleet of the Shangyuan and Tianshu to break away from the main formation and disrupt the enemy! "This huge battleship has long been scattered with countless transformation tools, which is equivalent to having countless pairs of eyes.
It is precisely because of this advantage that they have an almost unimaginable detection range.
The found Lilarian fleet has left the northern sector from a civilian passage thirty light-years away, and Azales can easily do so.
"Let them see the strength of our Blazing Fleet!" With his order, the twelve battleships of the two cruiser fleets accelerated into pursuit into the distance......
