467 The Eight Fists of the King are divided into winners and losers
The Federation refers to the alien creatures as their silent mortal enemies.
Indeed, they are obviously intelligent and have vocal cords in their physiological structure, but they have never been used on humans.
No one on Earth has ever heard a monster howl, let alone a language.
In space, a large number of ships have been destroyed, and the alien creatures have no words, but express their attitudes with actions.
The distance between the two sides is close to 80,000 kilometers.
The human fleet had to make difficult choices, turn, shell.
This action is like firing a cannon on the sea, to hit the enemy fleet that is pursuing it vertically.
The biggest reason for choosing this action is helplessness.
was caught up, and at such a close distance, the nodal energy shield effect of the Red Stick-class light cruiser at the tail of the fleet group was reduced again. Following the escape of the high-speed warships of the Republic of Mars, the alien ships once again have a firing angle that is not obscured by the nodal energy shield.
If the fleet group still escapes as always, then the situation is to be chased by alien warships and happily targeted.
Therefore, under the cover of a new wave of missiles, the human fleet group made a sharp turn in a clockwise diagonal direction to the maximum extent.
This action is like throwing a dolphin swimming straight, suddenly wiping its body and plunging into the deep sea under its right slope.
This choice is for the battleship to have a better shooting angle and interface.
Most of the space ships on the human side are still up and down. The turrets are mostly in the upper part and are arranged on a longitudinal axis, just like the battleships of World War II.
Since the naval guns used in this era were either laser or railgun, this oblique downward and horizontal rotation gave the turrets of many battleships the opportunity to strike directly at elevation angles.
So from a distance, the ships in front of the human fleet group began to glow, and it was an instant flash when the cannon was fired.
After that, more and more ships began to shine, like a large fish with many reflective scales, entering the area where the sun penetrated from the dark waters, and each part of the body entered the sunshine, more scales reflected the sunlight and emitted a shimmering brilliance.
Less than 10 seconds after the human fleet turned, the alien fleet began shelling.
This time they had an advantage, and the distance between the two sides allowed their bow guns to swing at a relatively small angle, and they could attack the ships on the human side.
Of course, not all alien ships have this advantage, and the more they are located on the top left of the fleet, the more angles they need to be adjusted.
The alien fleet is like a giant humpback whale chasing a dolphin, and as the dolphin turns, the humpback whale tries to adjust so that the dolphin is always in front of it. And from its left-wing angle, the dolphin is almost completely invisible.
There is not much difference between the ships of the two sides in terms of quantity, and nearly half of the alien fleets have shooting angles, which is better than the combat situation of the human fleet.
The Xenomorph Fleet's ships are very good at co-operation, as demonstrated by its repeated use of array artillery strikes to create high-energy ion current area strikes.
In addition, the alien fleet uses the bow main gun, and the damage output per unit time is extremely high.
This leads to the fact that in the early stage of mutual shelling, the victory advantage of the alien fleets is very obvious, just like a crossfire network formed by multiple firepower, and the damage rate of those ships that the human fleet group turns around is of course extremely high, as if playing a game of groundhogs, the outcrop is a hammer, and under the attack of concentrated fire, it is either hit with thousands of holes, or simply exploded.
The personnel inside the ship were naturally all kinds of sorrows, but most of them died quickly, and they died under the impact of all kinds of terrifying energy before they had time to taste the pain.
The cruel side of the war was vividly manifested at this moment, when the composite creations that took several months to build and the officers and men who spent more than ten years to complete their training were wiped out in a matter of seconds, and not one at a time, but a dozen, or even dozens, were sunk and destroyed.
Even if the ships are far away from each other and surrounded by a dark universe with a lack of light sources, the frequent explosions like bright fireworks are still shocking, especially in the command cabin, where you can see large and small ship fragments, corpses and other projectiles passing by or hitting your ship from time to time, the feeling is very complicated.
There is no time to sigh and feel nostalgic, the ship you are on may become the next one at any time. What's even more disgusting is that at this time, life and death basically no longer depend on the skill of your own ship, but on the choice of your opponent.
Set fire A, then A is basically dead, set fire B, B is also a dead end. It is very characteristic of the battle of the era of queuing and shooting, and with good luck, it becomes very important.
Of course, the alien fleet is not unharmed.
However, at this time, the advantages of the large ship were brought into play.
Don't look at the previous happily targeted by the warships of the outer city-states, and even the 'lime' operation can have a lot of damage and gain. That's all prerequisite.
Now, it can be regarded as a relatively fair belligerent environment. The body of the alien warfare ship is strong, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the ability to carry strikes is actually very good.
The ordinary shipborne laser weapons and railguns on the side of the human fleet are not very powerful. It's like shooting an elephant with a bow and arrow, it's easy to injure but hard to destroy.
What can really hit it is still to talk about missiles.
The missiles are released in batches according to the overall scheme, with rhythms and intervals. This time, they are the Meritorious Builders, and due to the close proximity of the two sides of the battle, the human side has given instant guidance to the missiles.
In other words, the specific way to play the missile is no longer determined by its internal photonic AI, but is commanded by the brain-computer joint system.
Based on the real-time observation of the battlefield, the brain computer guides how to hit these missiles.
Prioritize destroying the ships on the right side of the alien fleet with better shooting horizons, and ignore the leftmost ones at all.
The alien fleet also released missiles, but their bio missiles did not have the coordination ability of this unified battle, at most like the World War II fleet, set a general direction and big goal, and then set fire to it.
But once again, they were intercepted by Red Stick-class light cruisers, or missile frigates.
The missiles of the alien fleet, from a human perspective, are all big and stupid creatures like launch vehicles.
On the other hand, the interceptor missiles launched by the Red Stick class are slender and small, with an organ-like box-like launch base, and a large number of missiles are launched in a very short period of time.
After that, each finds his own mother, and once the target is in range, it will explode, and the steel ball the size of the thumb belly will explode in the area, destroying enemy missiles and exploding clusters of bright flowers in the deep hole.
Occasionally, if there is a leak, it will be up to the Phalanx anti-aircraft cannon to deal with it. The Red Stick class is not much stronger than the Federation warships in this regard.
The strongest is the Republic's Fire Storm large anti-aircraft cannon, just like an anti-aircraft gun, the projectile is about to be exploded, the metal hydrogen bomb, itself has a high rate of fire, and it can shoot tons of projectiles out in a very short time, coupled with a powerful explosion, it can outline an obvious wall of energy fire in deep space, real barrage protection, and the missile that rushes into it is not lucky.
In addition to intercepting enemy missiles, the Red Stick class also swam like a long worm on the dolphin of the human fleet, swimming sideways from the tail like a sideways and obliquely upward. The specific curvature is adjusted according to the dynamic layout of the alien ship.
Through this operation, the nodal energy shields distributed on the sides of the hull made the long snake composed of the Red Stick-class light patrol cover the flanks of the human fleet group.
This is a matter of angle, which does not hinder the elevation of other ships, but also gives a certain degree of protection to the fleet group. This can be regarded as a detailed adjustment of the fleet's formation, and the human fleet group is relatively slippery, or the ships of the outer city-states have done it.
The Alien Fleet, on the other hand, faces the problem that if they are always facing the human fleet in a diagonal direction, it won't be long before they will intersect with it. The channel is there, and it is very clear.
The alien fleet finally chose to stagger, and before they staggered, they released a large number of biological fighters, in this case, the biological fighters were still able to bite the tail of the human fleet like a swarm of mosquitoes.
More than 5,000 biological fighters pounced, and the Red Stick-class light cruisers, which were constantly adjusting their relative positions, made another contribution, intercepting missiles and destroying a large number of biological fighters.
However, relying on the numerical superiority, more than 2,000 biological fighters still rushed into the human fleet group. At this time, the trouble of the human fleet group came, and the main reason was the poor protection ability of the federal ships, and the mass projectiles of the biological fighters were able to penetrate the hull and cause a blow to the equipment and personnel inside.
What's more, biological warfare aircraft are equipped with airborne missiles, and at the right angle, one can disable one of the ship's main thrusters. And the biological fighters themselves are equivalent to torpedoes, and after they leave the mothership, they don't think they can go back.
The number of ships breaking away from the group due to varying degrees of damage to human warships is increasing.
When the biological warplanes were all consumed in the massive body of the human warship group, a total of 116 ships were damaged, leaving them behind. Calculate the account, or the alien creature side earned, as for the more than less, it depends on which side the final winner is, if it is a strange creature, mend the knife and damage the battleship, then you can earn more.
However, if the alien side wants to win, the chance is not great, and this contest is due to the proper tactics of the human side, which killed and injured a large number of ships of the alien side before fighting bayonets, so that the final artillery battle is carried out in a state that is at least almost equal in numbers.
In this state, except for the main gun strike at the beginning, the performance of the biological fighters is not very good.
During the qualitative change artillery battle, the heavy punch of the missile strike is still the protagonist, and every time it hits the vital point of the alien fleet, which makes the artillery effect of the two sides gradually widen the gap.
In addition, the Martian Republic's high-speed fleet, which was the first to break away, circled back.
Don't look at the fact that there are less than a hundred, but these are the largest of the human warship groups, and the stock of missiles is relatively sufficient. Moreover, there are not many ships on the alien side, and many of them are still injured, and they are far from being able to quickly swallow the high-speed fleet as they did at the beginning.
After that, the two giants fought to the death, and the human fleet group had all the missiles, only artillery bombardment remained, but there were two fists, and although the high-speed ship was not as hard as the heavy attack of the fleet group, it was not easy to take a hit.
In the end, relying on clear minds and flexible tactics, the human side won the victory, and more than 300 warships were completely destroyed, and as for the wounded, it can be said that there was not one in ten intact ones, and they were all concentrated in the two groups of the Red Stick class and the Republic High-Speed Fleet.
By the time the human fleet group finished towing and mending the knife and towing the damaged warship back to port, it was already about 6 o'clock in the morning of the 28th, federal time.
Since the main battlefield of this battle is in the K3 region, it is called the K3 Star Domain Ship Group Battle, which has become the most colorful stroke in the history of human ship warfare so far.
In terms of displacement, the displacement of the biological ships destroyed in this battle is higher than the total displacement of all ships of all sizes built since the beginning of human civilization.
However, in fact, the human side has been crippled after this great war.
After all, the total number is only 816, and more than 300 are directly damaged, and the rest are all injured.
However, not to mention four months, not four days now, the 10,000 fleets of the second leap fleet on the alien side will arrive on Earth in three days and nineteen hours.
In 91 hours, the warships of the outer city-states were carried to the vicinity of Earth by the base ships, and are currently continuing to march towards the sun, and have entered a suitable battle position.
According to estimates, after 4 hours, the first round of strikes on the reinforcement fleet will begin, 12 hours of fighting, plus 30 hours of overhaul time, planing out the time of entering and leaving the port, an average of 43 hours for a complete set, 86 hours for two rounds, and the remaining 5 hours for the third round of strikes.
Estimating the killing ability of the fleet of the outer city-states based on past records, two rounds can destroy and injure about 7000+, this number is still relatively powerful, and it is quite guaranteed.
But the remaining more than 2,000 alien warships can still rush to the doorstep of the earth.
There are 16 warships in the outer city-states, and the average number of warships destroyed per hour is about 300, 5 hours, 1500, and 700-900 warships.
These alien warships, before they are destroyed, are fully capable of causing considerable damage to the Earth defense system, including Starport, as well as the spaceyard.
Xu Changqing and the Federation disagreed on the issue of response.
The Federation means that it is not ready to fight fleet wars anymore, and let the battery of the planetary defense system play the leading role.
And Xu Changqing believes that it is very important not to let a strange warship enter and break into the atmosphere.
Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, he still believes that the alien fleets that come from afar will be able to quickly grasp the information of the entire planet once they merge with the alien creatures on the earth.
Then they are likely to send a message to the alien fleet in the Dyson Ring area, and then adjust the ship to a highly targeted cell form, and the last bit of advantage that humans have will be lost.
