Chapter 307: War

Of course, it must be admitted that although the Marquis of Odegar was so angry with the demonic singing that he wanted to pour a ton of antimatter material into the stomach of the singing guy, and then tie it to a space torpedo and blast it directly into the black hole, he still tried to keep his calm.

He just urged "hurry up and prepare the space torpedo", and did not make any special reaction.

It's just that, from him down, almost all the officers and technical non-commissioned officers in important posts also clenched their fists. They are all from the Empire, and many of them are simply related to the Marquis of Odegar's family, so it is impossible to be indifferent to the ridicule of Fang Cai.

The Buckvi birds next to them also reacted when they saw that the imperial fathers also had this reaction, and naturally began to dance their wings.

"Woo-hoo!" The birds let out a long cry of grief and indignation, like a cuckoo crying blood, which made the Imperial people next to them look sideways.

"You birdmen, you have a deeper affection than me and His Excellency the Marquis! What a filial piety...... What a hymn to loyalty! ”

"To be the dog of the empire is the greatest happiness! It's not like the earthlings over there are scurrying around, and they don't even know who the master is? ”

The owner is bullied, and when the dog is often the most angry. The Imperials thought it made sense.

All in all, the heavy cruiser, in this way, fell into an environment that was too irrational.

The taunts of the Earthlings fleet continued. The person who sang should not have sung anymore, but it was clearly recorded and was playing on a loop.

The demonic singing continues to torment the ears of the Imperial crew, and the frenzied environment is infused with more torment, anger, and murder.

"Your Excellency!" The voice of the gunnery master was heard again, even with a hint of obvious urging.

The Marquis of Odegar remained unresponsive, instead paying full attention to the direction of the opposite Community fleet. Just when everyone thought that the new marquis was about to endure it, he suddenly turned around and made a gesture to Lennon behind him.

"Orbital gun No. 3, aim at the enemy ship No. 1 and open fire!"

The Marquis of Odegarh was not prepared to endure from the beginning, and was not even prepared to launch the so-called challenge signal to the other party for a glorious knightly duel, but was ready to wait for the enemy to enter his range before launching a cannonball.

Since it is already a sneak attack, it must be meritorious.

It's just that the kinetic energy main gun carried by the Type 24 is a battle patrol level with a very long range, and he doesn't want to be discovered by the other party immediately, so he has been hiding in the asteroid belt, on the one hand, to ensure electromagnetic silence, and on the other hand, to maintain a distance of more than 300,000 kilometers.

An artillery strike at this distance will give the other side plenty of room to evade.

Unless it is a battle battlefield of a real large fleet, the giant ships like the city fortress form a formation and approach step by step, projecting the most lethal weapons at the opponent from a long distance, and at the same time withstand the same specifications of the opponent's attack. Your own battleship and the companion next to it rubbed shoulders, and it was impossible to make too many moves to evade, so in order to ensure the integrity of the battle formation, it must and can only be used.

Of course, if the crew of the Community were stupid, it was possible to make the hit. According to the imperial military regulations, in such an encounter, if the main rail gun hits an enemy ship 200,000 kilometers away, the captain, gunner, and gunner can all receive medals.

You know, as long as you don't hit an obstacle in the process of advancing, the range of the railgun is theoretically unlimited, so any miracle can happen. And these miracles have indeed inspired generations of imperial naval officers.

So far, the longest-range railgun hit in galactic history occurred more than thirty years ago in the Third Galactic War. The orbital guns of the Imperial "General Mogel" dreadnought hit an enemy ship eight million kilometers away, creating an unprecedented and almost unprecedented, hit.

It's true that there's too much of a character component, but it's also a brilliant enough record.

The Marquis de Odegar is really looking forward to setting a record himself. However, it is clear that at least not for now.

Cruiser No. 24 adjusted its muzzle, pushed the shells out of the kinetic trajectory and swooped down on the Community fleet in the distance.

In just two or three seconds, the shells that directly entered the sub-light rhythm traveled a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

The Marquis of Odegarh was a little disappointed. This shelling did not hit any enemy ships, but it quickly dispersed the small fleet in loose queues.

At this time, it would be too unrealistic for the Community fleet to be unable to detect the enemy again. They spread out again and pounced in the direction of the asteroid belt, where Formula 24 was located.

At this moment, it was 18:47 on November 12.

The first head-on battle between the Empire and the Community, after a gap of thirty-five years, began!

…… The top one is crossed out. It's just a border conflict, and neither side knows who the other is!

"Yes, we are only behind the pursuit of the Lumina rebels and the Cult of All Souls! It has nothing to do with the Empire, do you understand? Brigadier General Maklov, who was on the 14th of Wudu, began to communicate with everyone for the last time before the war.

Of course, I understand, but as for how to calculate it after the fight, I can only say that everyone who understands understands it, and if you don't understand it, you don't understand it.

At a point more than 500 meters away from an assault ship on the outskirts of the fleet, the orbital artillery shells flew over with space dust and disappeared in an instant.

In space, separated by an ultra-long distance of more than 300,000 kilometers, it is already quite good that the first deterrent shot can hit such a hit. Objectivity also illustrates the level of the imperial gunners.

If the Community fleet continues to follow its original cruising trajectory, there is a good chance that the next shell will hit

However, it seems that the Community fleet has already been prepared, and the queue, which has been relatively loose, has begun to spread again.

The battleships are still advancing, but they have already begun to marshalling a second time. The Corsica, which was at the forefront of the queue, directly sprinkled a large area of jamming bombs into space, forming a stealth barrier in the sense of radar in front of the entire fleet for a while.

From beginning to end, from the second formation of the fleet to the deployment of the interference barrier, a whole set of tactical actions can be called refinement, which is of course not because the Thirteenth Fleet, which has just become an army, has such strength, but they have carried out it clearly

In this way, the Imperial battleships hiding in the asteroid belt will have to aim with the naked eye if they want to fire again.

More than 300,000 kilometers, equivalent to the distance from the Earth to the Moon. Of course, such a marksman doesn't don't exist, for example, Ina or something, this girl should be able to grow into three or four rings.

However, Yu Lian bet that the other party's ship did not have it, otherwise Fang Cai's first shell should have hit.

Moreover, although the range of railgun shells is theoretically unlimited, everyone really prefers the instantaneous light spear cannon for this kind of long-distance shelling!

When will we be able to get out the Sky Bow Light Spear Cannon that should have only entered the discussion stage at the Alliance Military Engineering Academy? That thing can really pierce a galaxy with a big killer! With a gunner like Ina, it's even more fragrant!

Miss Marksman, who seemed to feel some kind of fiery gaze, shrank back in her gunner's seat and shuddered, then turned her head to look at the bridge.

Yu Lian, who was still shrunk in the medical cabin with only his head exposed, sat on his lap and faced the holographic projection sent by Brigadier General Maklov with a courtesy attitude.

"Then, according to the original plan, I will hand over the command of the battle to you. Colonel Bonaparte. The old general said.

"Your Excellency, I ......" Eleanor was naturally very satisfied, but at least she should show her modesty on the surface.

"Don't worry, it's something we agreed on. And I really don't have the experience of commanding an entire fleet. ”

This statement is very debatable. Eleanor's experience of beating pirates with three or four small boats isn't convincing, is it?

"At least, your lord has fought many simulated battles in this regard. And I, an old mechanic born as a fighter registrar, have never even seen a simulated tactical cabin. He said, and then restrained his smile: "You can just use the old man as an ordinary aircraft carrier captain." ”

Eleanor, who has never been pretentious or pretentious, no longer shirked and bowed slightly.

After the communication from the commander was disconnected, the communication channel of the supreme command was also opened to the Corsica.

"Then, according to the original plan, the whole fleet will be deployed in B formation!"

Yu Lian glanced at Hachiman and secretly lit up. Based on limited information (although this information was provided by Yu Lian), this guy temporarily re-completed the task of fleet formation, and it was almost perfect. From this point of view, this guy is not only suitable for staff work, but also for the deputy position of a large fleet.

Sending this black-eyed belly to Eleanor's side as a helper is really the perfect personnel arrangement!

The Community fleet not only sent a scattered formation, but also began to divide forces.

Two Rangers...... Ah no, the armed merchant ships, the Corsica, where Senior Sister is located, and the Luoyang 17, where Lieutenant Commander Kong Qingyu is the captain, together with 6 destroyers, formed Group A, commanded by Senior Sister Eleanor, and still passed in the direction of the shelling of the Imperial warships.

The modification of the Corsica and Luoyang was mainly in terms of firepower and protection, and was completely the reinforced aspect of the most orthodox combat ships.

On the other side, the Wudu 14, which can almost be regarded as a light aircraft carrier, and the Venice 57, which can almost be regarded as a troop carrier, began to maneuver in front of the enemy with all the assault ships, and went directly to the crystal clear, like a maze of jewels.

This circumferential B fleet was personally commanded by Commander Marklov.

This kind of guerrilla work around the rear is often carried out by the deputy post in the command of the fleet. However, for the old general, professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, he has only been the captain of an armored aircraft carrier before, and he still has some experience in the application of small ships, but the real fleet artillery battle has little confidence. It's better to leave it to the "moon man" high-achieving students who have at least been professionally trained.

However, to be honest, it is precisely this kind of "non-professional group" born in ordinary officers with little academic qualifications that is more likely to have this kind of measurement. Elite bureaucrats tend to regard academic qualifications as abilities.

Because of the large-scale flanking and outflanking, the B fleet led by the brigadier general soon entered a sub-light speed cruising state, and the last thing that the naked eye could see was gorgeous bands of light, drawing a bright trajectory in the void.

As for the A-ship led by Eleanor, it always maintained an orderly rhythm, slowly approaching the other party.

"If the Marquis of Odegar had learned the basics of military affairs, he should have guessed what we wanted to do!" Eleanor said.

Yes, the assault ships and aircraft carriers entering the asteroid belt, to put it bluntly, are they preparing to rely on their dexterous size and the cover of the asteroid to weaken the firepower advantage of the giant ship as much as possible and pull the battle into a rotten battle of jumping gangs.

"In the same way, we all know what he will choose." Fei Fei smiled.

"There's no way, the Royal Knight Academy and the Royal Naval Academy, the textbooks they use now are the same as ours."

Except for the facial paralysis of a certain spectacle who continued to concave the person, several "moon people" present couldn't help laughing, as for the scumbags present who couldn't study military school, although they always felt that they were being ridiculed, at least they were not as nervous as before.

Suddenly, although the bridge was not filled with cheerful air, it at least seemed much more soothing.

This is also understandable, the predecessor of the Central Defense University of the Community was originally a formal college built by the Empire in the solar system to train officers of the Earthlings and the Imperial Army, and the teaching materials used are naturally the same as those of the Empire.

Up to now, the military salute and military posture are all empire-style, but in order to show the break with the empire, the military uniforms and rank symbols are all alliance-style, so the community army, which is known as the third largest military force in the galaxy, is really quite divided in spirit.

To get back to the point, since the Marquis of Odegar is an elite with both civil and military skills, he should naturally understand that although he is a heavy patrol, after all, there is only one ship, and it is worth the loss to really fight a bad battle. If he was smart enough and decisive enough, he should ignore the B fleet that was circling behind and crush Eleanor's side as quickly as possible.

"So, according to common sense, he shouldn't continue to hide in the asteroid belt, which will affect the firing range and weaken the firepower." Akinayama Hachimando Road.

"But in this way, he won't be able to annihilate us completely." Yu Lian said.

Yes, once engaged in the relatively open space, the Empire's Clear Sky class can certainly unscrupulously pour its superior firepower, but it will also give the Community ships too much room to escape. Perhaps, as long as these two Roving Imperial Historians, who are the main forces, are sunk or even only destroyed, the rest of the destroyers will make the best choice.

“…… So, that Marquis of Odegar, really has such a big appetite? Hachiman asked. He wasn't skeptical, he was confirming.

"If I had that many cards and that appetite for him. Besides, I've provoked it to this point just now, and if he doesn't accept it again, the throne of the Marquis of Odegarh won't be easy. Although this kind of veteran sword-wielding aristocrat is full of martial virtues, he has too many things to carry, and he can't always get real freedom! ”

"So, you know so much about the destructive affairs of the Marquis of Odegar's family?" Akinayama Hachiman continued to ask.

"Because they are also famous members of the Empire, and we have killed several of them, and they have always been the pioneers of anti-earthlings! So I decided to kill a few more! It would be best to kill all of them who have the right to inherit, and let the Imperial Heraldic Academy directly remove this family! Yu Lian grinned, revealing a murderous smile.

Eleanor and Fei Fei couldn't help but quickly exchange a look, but neither of them understood why Yu Lian suddenly became so angry.

The only expression that he didn't understand was Akinayama Hachiman, who seemed to be unable to read the current air: "And then you actually make up limericks in the imperial court language?" ”

Are you Hachiman naughty Michichi? So much? "As an excellent general, you must also master the highest level of provocation ability! So everyone should improve their knowledge level! ”

“…… In the future, don't do this kind of thing until you have to, it's too unseemly. Eleanor, who understood the language of the Imperial court, said, "Not at all like a glorious community officer, but more like a pirate with no limit." ”

Her tone was not so much like an order, but more like an intellectual and virtuous wife who wisely advised her lover not to burst out. Observers of the universe should know this kind of experience, right?

Oh, by the way, most of the observers of the universe don't have wives.

"The point is that it doesn't sing well, and the lyrics don't rhyme." Fei Fei, who also understood the language of the Imperial Community, pursed her lips and smiled: "Or, next time you ask Xiaoqing to help you polish, it's best to let Selena teach you basic pronunciation skills?" ”

"Xiaoqing? Selena? Eleanor crossed her eyes, as if she had found something very important.

Fortunately, at this time, the interference barrier that had just been stretched out also lost its effectiveness, and Fleet A advanced another 100,000 kilometers to the position of the other party, and the alarm sound of high-energy response was heard again in the bridge.

"Yes...... Ion Energy Cannon! ”

"The location of the enemy ship has been captured!" The voice of the reconnaissance technician sounded on the bridge.

Don't shy away! Stay in attack formation! Eleanor quickly switched her attention to the battlefield and began to issue the next command: "Start firing back!" The whole fleet, the first ** wind missiles, launched! ”
