Chapter 308: Eleanor Riding the Wind and Waves
Eleanor's choice is not easy to say whether it is right or wrong, but the ion beam that the other party blasted over, this time it is only a little more than twenty meters away from Corsica, and in the universe, this can already be understood as a near-arrow bomb.
The heat did indeed trigger the Corsica's shield reaction, and the ion beam and shield formed a very intense entanglement of energy, flickering with an uncertain glow
"The formation is scattered! Each ship evades on its own! Eleanor's voice began to echo across all the ships.
"Raise the Honor Death Flag! Don't hide our flagship identity! She commanded the men in the ship.
The communications officer could only say, "Understood!" And began to operate.
The so-called "flag-raising" cannot, of course, be a literal flag in the universe, but a special signal of challenge, expressing to one's own people and the enemy the determination not to retreat and not to die.
All the warships began to disperse, expanding their formation into a huge space with a radius of 200,000 kilometers, but they still continued to advance. This is also the original tactical grouping of the Community Fleet, which is just a relatively advanced tactic, and it is still a little difficult for the Thirteenth Fleet, which is mostly recruited. This time, their tactical movements were a little stiff and sluggish.
However, the Corsica, as the flagship, suddenly accelerated, and turned into a salient of the entire fleet.
On the battlefield of cosmic warfare against the enemy in the bow of the ship, this is completely a taunt to the extreme.
Indeed, the wide-area cosmic radio from the Corsica is still playing the ridiculous and magical ballad on a loop.
As long as the enemy ship on the opposite side is in a normal state of mind, it should be shaking and crying now, so whether it is from psychological needs or tactical significance, it will definitely be the first to set fire on the Corsica.
So, in a short period of time, thousands of artillery guns fired at the opposite side, and more and more firepower was projected.
At that moment, Yu Lian felt as if he was in the midst of a hurricane of energy, and the Corsica, which was also a giant ship, seemed to have turned into a fragile willow leaf in the wind.
Eleanor, tall and tall, stands on the bridge, awe-inspiring and inviolable, riding the wind and waves, as if she is an unstoppable, Valkyrie.
However, she should miss Miss Anne Romanova a little at this time, right? However, the girl is now at the helm of the real flagship Fog Capital. After all, in this cosmic era of giant ships and cannons, it is also a technical job for aircraft carriers to find a suitable position to launch fighters, and excellent pilots are also very needed.
As for the current captain of the Corsica, Lieutenant Commander Lapun, he is not a pilot but a management captain, and the helmsman, Lieutenant Newport, is a meticulous veteran ship pilot, also transferred from the cantilever fleet. The technology is very robust and meticulous, but it lacks the imagination and intuition of a god.
Yu Lian felt his body and made sure that the bones inserted into the organs had returned to their places. The terrible sores on the internal organs have basically healed, and the broken bones have returned to their places, but they have not yet grown.
Overall, although I am still injured now, I really don't have to go out of the line of fire.
He opened the medical pod from the periphery with psionic telekinesis and jumped out wet.
"Learn ...... Sir, please give me permission to drive, too! Yu Liandao.
Eleanor didn't answer, just looked at Captain Lapun. The veteran seaman, who had been a captain of a merchant ship and had also weathered a supernova storm, only groaned for a moment, and then nodded directly.
Lieutenant Newport didn't say anything either. After all, it is not realistic to completely hand over such a large battleship to one person, and he is not the type who can be tough in front of the "moon man" and the "elite bureaucracy".
Yu Lian walked to an operating space and inserted his hands into the wheels of the glove, allowing each finger to feel the touch subtly. He closed his eyes and adjusted his mental state, allowing his perception to spread.
He is not a "navigator", and there is no way to achieve the true unity of ship and man, but he understands that many psionic skills that are theoretically used in frontal combat can be used in fleet warfare once they have been magically modified.
This time, Yu Lian chose to use "reaction prediction" here.
To put it more intuitively, since the psionic can predict that the enemy will draw his sword from that angle and what psionic skill he uses in that second, why can't he predict when and in what direction the battleship he is in will be shot?
However, it is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to operate. This requires your perception range to be able to wrap around the ship, which requires your mental power to be sensitive enough, as well as super spatial discernment and perception.
Truth be told, in this regard, no one is as professional as the navigators who "explore" the Star Ring. However, the psykers who "explore" the Ring lack the ability to fight head-on, and the possibility of unlocking "Reaction Prediction" is too small.
Fortunately, although Yu Lian has never opened an "exploration" in his two lives, he has a "cruise" that belongs to yin and yang with "exploration" in his previous life, and he has mastered a lot of convenient experience.
He almost closed his eyes, didn't look at the instrument, didn't look at the radar, and didn't observe with the naked eye, and suddenly took the whole ship into a dive, which directly gave way to another ion beam from the other party.
At this moment, the beam of light passed at a distance of 15 meters from Corsica, once again triggering an energy response.
"Shield down to 62%!" The technical officer's voice trembled, and he didn't know whether he was frightened by the power of the opponent's main cannon and the divine accuracy of the artillery technique, or he was shocked by the dangerous dodge of the square side.
If Yu Lian hadn't done what he had just done, there was a real possibility that the Corsica would have been shattered with a single blow.
Lieutenant Colonel Lapon and Lieutenant Newport couldn't help but look at the expressionless Yu Lian with eyes that looked at the visual spectacle, and the latter felt a kind of snowflake coolness.
"Keep going! The main cannon begins to be powered! Eleanor swept over Yu Lian, who had a calm face, and continued to convey the order in a solemn voice: "Order the Luoyang, the space concussion bomb is ready to be launched!" ”
The space concussion bombs on the Corsica had all been smashed on the head of the dead 10,000-headed demonic beast, but the Luoyang had enough.
At this time, the 72 Hurricane missiles dropped by the whole fleet had penetrated deep into the asteroid belt and exploded. A series of bands of light were formed, as if illuminating most of the space.
"Unable to confirm hit!"
"The shelling of enemy ships has stopped!"
Even if it was impossible to determine the hit, the explosion of this series of Hurricane missiles had a considerable impact on the firing range of the Imperial warship.
"Speed up! Toggle to the third charge speed ......"
Captain Lapon didn't say a word and went straight to the operation. The tail flame behind the Corsica had turned into a gorgeous light trail, pushing the entire ship out of the queue quickly.
"Destroyer fleet, the second round of Hurricane missiles is ready! You can launch it when necessary, don't wait for my orders! Eleanor commanded again.
At this time, a gap suddenly appeared in the light band created by the opposite missile, and then I saw a railgun shell piercing through it, as if an arrow had pierced through the shield.
It only took half a minute for the Imperial battleship to start firing again.
Moreover, the hit was indeed not low, and once again the Corsica hit a close arrow effect.
Fortunately, this time Yu Lian flashed faster, the shells were farther away, and there were still no casualties. It's just that the shield power has dropped to thirty-seven percent.
“…… Tsk, are all the Empire's railguns of this power? Eleanor gritted her teeth.
"This should be the main gun of the Battle Cruiser!" Yu Lian said casually: "I guess, maybe the empire has adopted all the energy centers and conduction systems on that new ship. This meant that they could mount more powerful guns on smaller ships. On large ships, there are naturally more and denser main guns! ”
“…… Is this your reasoning? Or is it a prophecy? "Akinayama Hachiman-do.
“…… Inferences, of course! Don't you see that I'm justified and logical? ”
It seems like that's the case, but Akinayama Hachiman always feels like something is wrong.
"The first and second guns are loaded!"
"The charge of the electron cannon is 65 percent! Ready to launch! ”
"Luoyang reported that the space concussion bomb has been prepared!"
"Very well, little ones, just keep it that pace! Soon, we'll be able to kick those Imperial Guys in the ass! Eleanor let out a hearty laugh.
This was so good that the soldiers on board laughed. At the current level of the officers and men of the 13th Fleet, this kind of words can be resonated with them, and if we were to say to them that "the people are waiting for our victory" and "the community is so great that there is no way back", it probably will not have such a good effect.
In short, the composure of the command level has already made the panic of the crew gradually melt like ice and snow in the dashing figure of the Corsica as if dancing on the blade.
Fei Fei pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Yu Lian, who was engrossed in operating the steering wheel, and felt that it was really a serious man who was the most handsome.
She is still operating the filming equipment, faithfully recording everything in front of her, just like the bravest, calmest, and most senior war correspondents who will never be in the line of fire under any circumstances.
The crew on the bridge may know that everything they are in today will be recorded by this beautiful reporter and become a part of the "hero team" in future news reports, and they feel that there is blood burning in their hearts, and they gradually hold their heads high. The movements that I mastered during training are now more perfectly executed.
Yu Lian didn't care so much. The shelling from the opposite side is becoming more and more frequent, and even he must pay all his attention to driving.
However, even with his extraordinary performance, the performance of the opposing Imperial warships and the level of the gunners were not fake, and they still dealt a considerable blow to the fleet.
Corsica was first shot at 19:27. A railgun shell finally penetrated her broadside, directly pulling open the armor belt on the broadside, and two anti-aircraft turrets were cut off, creating 4 battle dead in an instant.
This is also the first time that there have been casualties on both sides of the battle.
Immediately afterwards, a dense array of missiles was also launched from the opposite side, enveloping the entire fleet in this net of fire.
All the ships managed to spread their air defense nets, but two Fletcher-class ships were still wounded. Fortunately, the damage was not great, and it still did not lose its combat effectiveness.
Regardless, the Corsica continues to move forward. As the MT of the entire fleet, she really attracted the vast majority of the opponent's firepower, and opened the way for all the wingmen.
Let yourself and your flagship be the arrow, this is the tactical style of Eleanor, the crazy sister who rides the wind and waves.
Just as the report of the fleet's losses reached Eleanor's ears, her fleet finally included the other party in the range of her main guns.
"Ina! Fire! ”
Before Eleanor could give a loud command, Ina Shilika, who had been waiting impatiently, had already pulled the trigger of the main gun.
