Chapter 282: The swarm is avant-garde, and it is a death match

"Understand, the 1st to 8th partisan fleets advance, hunt freely. The various aviation divisions and regiments provided aviation support to the guerrilla fleet as scheduled. ”

"Titan, Ship Eight, Ship Nine, forward."

"Dreadnought 2nd Cluster, Forward."

Unlike the Doomsday Platoon, which is equipped with a wide-area strafing cannon and long-range, high-power beam weapons, the guerrilla fleet's warships are specially upgraded high-speed warships.

Completely abandon the carrier-based aircraft, and the vacated space strengthens the output of engines and shields.

Most of the ship's firepower is based on electromagnetic guns with fast rate of fire but short effective range, phase running, etc., and the shaft guns are also equipped with large-caliber electromagnetic guns.

The shells are also simple and crude fusion bombs.

The purpose of the entire fleet is to penetrate the enemy positions at high speed, to break the enemy ships with dense and powerful firepower, and to ensure that they can retreat from the enemy positions with strong shields.

"Enemy, get into range."

"Shooting begins!"

The 10-seat 3-company 8000 mm main gun of the Titan-class No. 8 ship was the first to fire, out of tribute to the fastest manhole cover on the earth that year, the propellant of this model of live ammunition main gun is a low-yield nuclear bomb...

Seconds later, 30 billion-ton-equivalent fusion bombs detonated simultaneously in the center of the swarm.

Opened the way for subsequent battleship battlecruiser clusters.

At the same time as the subsequent battleship group broke in, the whole body from the 4800 mm electromagnetic cannon to the 35 mm weight beam Gatling began to spit fire snakes, splashing a massive barrage on the swarm.

"It's so dazzling..."In the central command center of the Enterprise, Ian and the others rubbed their eyes.

Although the screen was brightened in time, everyone was still shaken by the light generated by the explosion of the fusion bombs.

"The enemy ships release carrier-based aircraft, and the aviation units engage the enemy."

Numerous small instances of 20 meters in length erupted from some of the cavities of the sixteen-kilometer-long insect ship.

The MA and K-wing heavy bombers, which were responsible for providing fire support to the battleship group, deployed near the battleship, and their equipped swing turrets began to barrage at the incoming swarm.

And the escorted V-wing fighters and MS troops met the massive swarm.

It's not right to say that it's catching up, it should be said that after showing off in front of the swarm, I ran away at full speed.

As you run, you shoot at the swarm behind you with the weapons on your fuselage.

Behind each fighter or MS was a long line of biters......

"Luckily, the V-wing fighters have been changed to two-seaters... Otherwise, this kind of battle will not be possible. "One of the clone pilots was disgusted that his helmet was a bit obscuring his vision, so he simply took the time to take it off. His fighter weaves his way through swarms and friendly fleets.

"Shut up, Sunday." The co-pilot of the twin-mounted blaster, who was concentrating on maneuvering the sides of the fuselage, could rotate 360 degrees vertically, and could also slightly adjust the horizontal angle, looked up and cursed. "Put on your helmet, do you want to die?"

"You'll die with a helmet." Known as Sunday, the clone pilot manipulates the mech to make a sharp ascent, dodging the swarm ahead. "It's not like you don't know how uncomfortable that thing is."

"Who told you to be crooked, the new helmet doesn't look good, you have to use a generation of helmets."

"How handsome is the Spartan frame."

"Pull it up! Pull it up! Watch out for the left! ”

"Huh?" Sunday reacted half a second slower, and a small bug approached the fighter from the side, swinging its two sickle-like forelimbs down at the same time, piercing the fragile cockpit and pinning the two clone pilots to the cockpit.

The bug then kicked the fighter on its hind legs, leaving the fighter and rejoining the swarm.

A little later, the bug, which tried to pounce on the battleship, was torn to shreds by a dense barrage of 155-mm rapid-fire guns.

The V-wing fighter, whose pilot was both killed, spun around and continued to fly forward until it crashed into a bug ship and crashed.

And this kind of scene happened in every corner of the guerrilla fleet.

Although this creature tentatively named the sickle insect has no long-range attack ability, its ability to maneuver at high speed with unknown principles, and the four sickle-shaped forelimbs that cannot be blocked by 200 mm composite E carbon steel armor, make them deadly carrier-based aircraft killers.

"Starboard, cruiser class, mostly close."

"The secondary artillery fire is concentrated on the cruiser-class body, and the 155-mm anti-aircraft running group is free to strike carrier-based aircraft and destroyer-class bugs." The face of the captain of a certain battle cruiser was illuminated by flashes of light that erupted from time to time on the screen.

"Main guns, aiming at the battleship class at 8:23 on the port side, salvo of main guns!"

"Boom!"

"What's wrong!" The captain almost hit the ground with a huge shaking.

"The lower part of the stern of the ship was shot, and the damage is unknown."

"The engine is working hard, and it is falling behind."

"Immediate damage control."

"The enemy boarded the ship, and immediately ...... Yes! "A CIC received a communication from the stern crew for just a second and a half, and the sound after that was the screams and creepy chewing of the stern crew.

"Let the Marines go and eliminate the enemy. Inform the flagship that the ship's engine was damaged and left the team. ”

In a few moments, dozens of swarm landing silos passed through the hole in the stern and began to invade the battlecruiser.

"Captain! The bugs are more powerful than we are! "A team of clone marines in small, heavy firepower armor rushed to the stern of the ship first, and came into contact with the bugs.

And he... Or contrary to everyone's imagination, the two-and-a-half-meter-tall bugs in the ship's group of bugs were made with plasma submachine guns......

Compared to the 20mm machine guns and Class2 phase rifles of the Marine Corps, the firepower is even more intense......

"We're pinned! We need heavy fire support! After the Marine squad leader finished shouting, he continued to poke his head out from behind the wall and fired at the swarm with a 20mm machine gun.

"Boom!"

"it!" The metal wall that the Marines used as bunker was suddenly knocked out of a bulge, and a clone Marine was directly pushed into the air.

"What's the situation?"

"Boom!" A red, heavy-looking bug slammed out of the wall. It's like a hammer's forelimbs that blow the Marine squad in front of you with a sweep.

The worst squad leader was hammered straight against the wall.

"Fire suppression! Shoot! Shoot! ”

Unbeknownst to everyone, a heavy, round bug crawled into the ship's engine room.

The body shines with an arc.

"Boom" exploded.

The huge explosion directly paralyzed the ship's two main engines, and one reactor almost blew up because the energy was nowhere to be released, and it shut down urgently.

"There was a big explosion in the ship, the two main engines went offline, and the power loss was 95%, and the ship could not sail!"

"Stern, what's going on?! Engine room, answer me! ”

"Captain...... The enemy's landing force had advanced into the middle of the hull. ”

"I see—" Of course, they couldn't answer their own questions, as they had already made their way to Valhalla in the teleportation......

"Thirty years of clone life..."

"Captain, you're a new model that just rolled off the assembly line half a month ago, okay?"

“emmmm…… All right. Is the faster-than-light engine still alive? "The clone soldiers on this ship are all recently mass-produced "ultra-high-speed cultivation preset skill type artificial changemakers", which are a little more expensive than ordinary clone soldiers, but the consciousness can be uploaded to the VADA medium resurrection in the rear at any time, and knowledge, experience, skills and everything can be retained.

"Captain, Huo Duoer's maneuver was made by the Star Wars director who ate the setting...... The faster-than-light engine is alive, there are enemy ships on the front, which can be started. ”

The remaining power of the cruiser struggled to control the hull to be aimed at a large bug ship directly in front of it.

"Our faster-than-light engine isn't her kind either, overload the device, crash into it."

The moment the navigation indicator turned red, the helmsman pushed the faster-than-light engine, and the other CIC overloaded everything they could overload.

The battlecruiser, which was instantly pushed to the speed of light, disappeared, and everyone on board was instantly killed by the acceleration that could be marked as positive infinity, and the soul returned to VADA.

After about six hours, the Pioneer swarm was wiped out. The main group of the follow-up swarm was still two hours away from entering the range of fire of the platoon gun.

"The losses of carrier-based aircraft were significant, and the losses of battleships were within the predetermined range. The battle cruisers lost a third, and the battleships suffered a lot of serious damage, losing only more than two hundred. ”

The mixed fleet of eight full-fledged battleships and battle cruisers was fighting as a whole against the remnants of the swarm vanguard fleet.

But basically, once the armor is broken by the swarm and the swarm landing force is successfully boarded, the ship is basically finished.

The firepower of the marines simply could not suppress the attack of the swarm.

"The main losses of the fleet were the spontaneous detonation of the reactor or engine after the landing force blasted the reactor, and the few that were directly destroyed by the fire of the insect ships were not very much. The Technical Department is urgently designing an in-ship defense system based on combat data, as well as better hand-held firepower for the Marine Corps. ”

“…… This bug is so hard, the 20mm machine gun can't penetrate its carapace at medium and long distances. Ian also watched the footage.

"These bugs are extremely resistant to live-fire weapons, but not very resistant to thermal, radiant, and phased. When using 20mm fission rounds, Class3 phase guns, and heavy blaster rifles, the swarm will still be suppressed. ”

"But the above weapons will directly destroy the standard internal passages of the ship, and if you are unlucky, you will blow up the ammunition depot or energy capacitors from the inside of the ship, and the defense inside the ship will collapse faster." Misato spreads her hands. "The super-fast drying resin gel effect is not bad, it can trap ordinary soldier-level bugs, but the kind of kamikaze bug that bugs blast the engine will still explode the engine in a short time, so ......"

"Therefore, taking the initiative to respond to the battle and using high-power weapons, there is a high probability that the explosive items in the ship will be detonated, and the defense inside the ship will collapse. Normal street fighting weapons could not suppress the swarm, and the ship's defenses collapsed. If you trap the swarm and don't take the initiative to fight, the swarm will burst the engine and the ship's overall defense will collapse. Ian rubbed his temples with a headache.

"That's right, so now the first step is to strengthen the armor of the ship's facilities, and there have been more than one report from the Marine Corps that bugs directly smashed the walls of the ship, causing the ship's defenses to collapse."

"This bug is quite reckless......"

"So how do you fight? We've suffered such a huge loss of just one-tenth of the swarm......"

"We can only continue to fight positional battles, let the rear seize the time to build space anchor batteries, we will fight and retreat, and exchange space for time."

"Understood."

The guerrilla fleet returned to the rear and was moored in dock ships in the logistics support fleet for emergency repairs.

Some of the cargo ships in the logistics fleet began to fly around, and a large number of unmanned batteries equipped with heavy artillery flew out of the cargo holds, slowly moving to the designated position with their own power systems.

And the "gun queue" began to slowly accelerate.
