Chapter 275: The First Battle of Mars
"Colonel Thuruz, our fleet has arrived at the outer edge of the solar system and is on its way to the Pluto forward base in the solar system." A fleet of 1 2nd class battleship, 14 heavy cruisers, 31 light cruisers, and 67 destroyers ended the jump in the outer rim of the solar system.
"What a galaxy of bounty." Colonel Thuruz looked at the materials of the solar system. "A young and healthy sun, a moon rich in fusion fuel, a fourth moon suitable for colonization, a fifth and sixth planet rich in space fuel...... The so-called Terra-class galaxy is nothing more than that. After a short recuperation at the Pluto base, head to the fourth planet of the solar system. ”
"Outside Pluto, a gravitational shift was detected...... It's a sign of a jump! The offset sample control is the transition trace of cryptoras! "The headquarters of the League of Nations Space Force on Earth instantly sounded a piercing alarm.
"The Martian garrison fleet will be reorganized and lifted into the sky immediately, and the reinforcements from Earth will arrive in 8 hours." Heikuro Fujido ran all the way from the office to the headquarters. "How many fleets on Earth will be able to take off?"
"14 new cruisers, 51 destroyers, 1 battleship, 5 old but upgraded cruisers, 12 destroyers, 4 battleships."
"The old destroyers and cruisers remained to guard the Earth, and all the remaining warships were put into combat to meet them. Admiral Okita, the command will be handed over to you. Fujido Heikuro went smoothly.
"I see." Okita Thirteen put on his hat, turned around and left the headquarters, and walked briskly to his ship, the Kirishima.
"Underground bomb shelters are always ready to start, so that the guides are ready. Ground-to-air emergency facilities are put into combat readiness. Fujido Heikuro looked up at the sky. The rest depends on the struggle of the soldiers. ”
Fifteen hours later, the Enlars fleet encountered the League of Nations Space Force at a distance of 250,000 kilometers from Mars, and the League of Nations Space Force set up a wall formation that had no depth but could pour firepower to the maximum, and the dense positive electron beam hit the Enlars Pioneer Fleet hard, and after the Enlass fleet completed the turn, it pulled up and fought with the air, and the League of Nations Space Force suffered a heavy blow.
With the exception of the Kongo-class battleships, all the ships were inferior to any of the ships in terms of size, armor, or firepower, and fought in artillery formations with their own shortcomings and strengths. What's even more frustrating is that even after suffering a heavy blow, the Crypto Russ ships are still much more than the League of Nations fleet.
After realizing the problem, Okita 13 changed his tactical approach, took out his housekeeping skills, and used five Kongo-class battleships as hammers to smash the formation of the Encrypt Russ fleet, pull up the compound formation and directly rush into the Encrypt Russ fleet.
In this regard, the encrypted Las army said that the fighter Lao Tzu had fought, and the battleship Lao Tzu had also fought, but it flew faster than the fighter jet, and the battleship Lao Tzu who maneuvered like a fighter really had never fought.
In desperation, the Cryptoras fleet began a pursuit battle with the Okita fleet, and the Enuras army, which used a battleship to fight dogs in the air for the first time, was completely unable to exert its own strength, and was pressed and beaten by the fleet with the fleet of Okita Thirteen, who had fought for several years in the Second Inner Planet War.
After three hours of fighting, the two sides tacitly withdrew from the battle, and the League of Nations Space Force repelled the attack of Cryptoras with a loss of nearly 30%. And crypto las...... The exchange ratio is very unsightly. It almost reached one to two, and the losses were greater than those of the League of Nations Space Army.
The Encrypted Lasquerrot-class 2-3 battleship pulled the black smoke and returned to the Pluto forward base with an equally scarred cruiser destroyer, and Colonel Thuruz shivered with anger on the bridge. "The ...... of the earthlings"
"Thankfully, the people aren't used to this style of play...... "Okita Jusan sat down breathlessly, took the towel handed to him by the deputy chief, and wiped his sweat there.
The three-hour high-intensity maneuver was too exciting for Okita Thirteen, a middle-aged and elderly man who was almost fifty.
"The elevation angle problem of the main gun is too serious, Sanada-kun, when will your impact cannon be installed." Now the pitch angle of the positive electron supercharged ray is only 15 degrees... This 15 degrees is the limit of how much the magnetic field can distort the electron beam.
"I'll go in for an experimental installation next month, and I'm going to do a reliability test at the test site on Mars recently." Deputy Chief Sanada Shiro took back the towel that Okita 13 had used to wipe his head, carefully put it in a sealed bag, and then handed Okita 13 another towel. "But the by-product, the positive electron impact run that can be used by the Murayu-class and Kong-class has been accepted well, and the next batch of Murayu-kai cruisers and Kong-based battleships will be installed."
"Oh? Is it? Okita Unbuttoned his shirt and wiped the sweat from his body. Is the supercharged light cannon finally going out? ”
"No...... That thing is a shaft cannon, because the gravity anchor technology is immature, there is no way to counteract the recoil of that kind of positive electron cannon, so because the recoil is too great, the entire hull of the ship can only withstand the impact force when it is fired. ”
“……… It turns out that the positive electron impact cannon is impacting ourselves? ”
“…… Yes. ”
"Looks like I'm going to have to use this weird rotating bridge for a while. Why did so many battleship drafts finally adopt this strange design? Okita Jusan was critical of the design of the bridge built on the second main turret. The field of vision follows the second main gun, and neither the captain nor the helmsman can accurately grasp the direction of the ship in many cases.
Therefore, during the battle, especially when the "Okita method of warfare" was used, the second turret of the Kongo-class battleship, including the Kirishima was locked, and it would only occasionally shoot straight ahead.
Otherwise, when the ship was turning around to avoid enemy shelling, the people in the bridge were still following the turret, which was really too ghostly.
"Because the King Kong class is the cheapest on the premise of meeting the requirements of the National League Space Army...
Britain's Nelson II class and Russia's Soviet class are more than twice as powerful as the King Kong class, but they are more than four times as expensive. Moreover, both are pure space warships, and they cannot fight in a gravity environment like the King Kong class. Sanada Shiro still knows a lot about the bidding back then, after all, he also participated in the design of the space battleship called "Wu Yulei".
"Huh...... That's really...... No, the King Kong class doesn't seem to have fought much in the atmosphere. Okita Thirteen suddenly reacted, in the last Inner Planet Now, the combat efficiency of a battleship that broke through the atmosphere was not as good as that of a heavy bomber full of cruise missiles, and there would be no captain with brains to let the space battleship fight in the atmosphere.
Whether it is land-based air-to-air firepower or aviation units in the atmosphere, they can press this group of "drowning" space warships in the atmosphere to the ground and rub them like Sun Tzu.
"That's right." Deputy Chief Sanada spread his hands. "God knows what they think, to have a space battleship that can fight in the atmosphere. Our anti-gravity engines aren't good enough to allow ships to move freely in the atmosphere. ”
