Chapter Fifty-Eight: An Artillery Battle Between Heaven and Earth

In the blink of an eye, the crimson beam cannonballs crossed the constraints of the atmosphere and whizzed towards the Catechite fleet that was approaching at normal cruising speed in the distance. The dazzling light smeared their bridges with a bloody glow.

"High energy reaction ahead! High energy reaction ahead! "The Keltai language that roared like a large carnivore swirled across the bridge.

Colonel Mobeard was a little confused. He really didn't expect the weak earthlings to open fire. Fortunately, as a member of the royal fleet of Kaitai, the training of the sailors on board is also considered hard, and this situation has been practiced many times. Without waiting for the colonel to give the order, the sailors were already preparing for standard evasion and defense.

"Unfold the front shield! The No. 1 action of each ship! The Colonel said loudly.

The era of the great universe has developed to the present era, and fleet tactics naturally have a complete set of standard procedures. Whether it's marching, hiding, shelling, or evasion, it's all included. The so-called No. 1, of course, refers to the No. 1 standard avoidance action. To put it bluntly, the middle one goes up, and the two sides go left and right.

The sailors completed the instructions with a refined operation. A destroyer with a length of more than 300 meters in space suddenly twisted out of the evasive maneuvers that only a 20-meter fighter in the atmosphere could do. In front of the oval-shaped bow, an almost transparent light curtain of light blue instantly unfolded, forming a semicircular light mask.

"Whew!" The crimson laser almost brushed the light curtain on the ship. The entanglement and neutralization of the energy directly turned into a stirring shock wave, which shook the entire hull of the ship.

If it weren't for the big cats on the ship who were all ready to resist the impact, it is estimated that they would not even be able to stand on their feet at this time.

"Shield down 17%!" The ship's defense officer reported loudly.

It's okay, just a bruise! The colonel breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice, "What about the other two ships?" ”

"Hellcat 48 shield down 58%. Hellcat 17 ...... Meow, the shield is neutralized, and the armor is slightly burned! ”

"Two pieces of waste!" The colonel snorted under his breath. Isn't this the equivalent of being hit? Our Sea Cat, which has been strengthened in speed and maneuverability, was actually hit by a fortress cannon, it was like a cat being bitten by a groundhog!

"Are we going to fight back?" The gunnery officer asked.

"Prepare the proton cannon!" The colonel thought about it, but in the end he didn't use the neutron bomb that worked wonders for orbital bombardmentβ€”if it were really dropped on the ground, it would be a humanitarian catastrophe plus an environmental catastrophe. The Kaitai people have always coveted the beautiful planet below, but the kingdom is very poor, and the limited funds are used to expand the army, so they really don't want to spend any more money on environmental restoration.

In comparison, the proton energy bomb wrapped in energy is very clean. Hitting the ground will form a wrapped arc circle, which can not only kill the enemy but also paralyze the enemy's equipment, and will not pollute the environment. Although the passage of the energy bomb through the atmosphere will affect its power to some extent, it should be enough.

"The proton cannon is starting to charge, and it is starting to lock on to the enemy's heat source!"

"What about the other two ships?"

"Just keep them on standby!"

Colonel Mosu felt that the firepower of a ship was enough to suppress the other party, not to mention, after all, the kingdom did not have the consciousness of an all-out war with the earthlings, and this time it was originally a sideshow.

The colonel even vaguely knew that this operation was even the initiative of the detachment command, and it was not approved by the base camp at all.

However, since it has already been done, it must be me, and it can only be me! I, Sazar Murwhisker, will be the hero who fired the first shot! Go down in history!

"Prepare to ......" The colonel was just about to say that he would fire the cannon after charging his energy without waiting for his order, but he heard another warning sound: "High energy reaction ahead!" The high energy ahead reacts again! ”

"Keep dodging!" Murwhisker didn't feel the need to give special instructions, as long as he followed the standard avoidance moves. After all, he was only facing three or five fortress guns, not the overwhelming barrage of bullets during the battle of the Grand Fleet.

The Hellcat 12 destroyer he was in began to climb again, allowing the tumbling beams of energy to graze the shield shield on his bow. The blue and red stalker bloomed again, blooming with a spark of energy.

Hellcat 12 is still shaking. The colonel even felt a burning sensation on his beard, it should be that the ship's armor had already begun to take the damage of the heat.

After a few more shots, you'll have to change the external armor when you go back! The colonel's mood at this time was unusually sad.

Although Kaitai is an ally of the empire, and can even get the production authorization of the latest warship from the boss, it must be a castrated monkey version.

For example, the sea cat under his feet is claimed to be modified from the Imperial Apocalypse Eagle, and it has also strengthened its firepower, speed and maneuverability, but this is just a fool who doesn't know how to do it. They don't have the photon array main gun on the Apocalypse Eagle, they don't have the Tianhuo 4 polymer missile, and as for the memory metal armor that is resistant to high temperature and radiation and has self-healing function, they naturally don't have it.

Originally thought to be an armed intimidation, the base camp turned into an artillery battle and caused significant ship damage. According to the harsh Cathay military law, even if Mosu completes the strategic goal of "occupying the port of Tulom", he will still be punished. In the best case, he would also have to pay for the maintenance of the battleship in full.

Done in vain! It's been in vain for a few years! The Colonel's grief turned to grief at this moment.

"Fire! Blow them up for me! ”

It was the tallest building in Tulong Harbor, an all-metal tower with a height of more than 300 meters, which was responsible for signal relay, the dispatch of ships entering and leaving the port, and the command of the city's defense system, which naturally included shields and fortress guns.

For a space warship that has already cut into low-earth orbit, there is no more perfect target for attack. As for those civilian facilities and civilians on the central tower...... Oh, it's a tragedy, but it's also life!

"Ready...... Not good! ”

The intelligence officer let out a loud exclamation. He had obviously calculated the gap between the artillery bombardment of the opponent's fortress, but he didn't expect that in this gap, there was another energy reaction on the planet below.

This time, instead of a crimson blast beam, a blue detached bullet emerged from the atmosphere. And it's ten shots at a time!

"Start evading!" The colonel yelled.

In fact, without waiting for his order to be given, the crew had already begun to do so. But as the ship made a beautiful trajectory, there was a trace of screaming in the intelligence officer's voice: "No! The enemy ion cannon is about to hit! ”

"They've figured out where we're going to get around!" The colonel was stunned and could only shout: "Prepare for the shock!" ”

This time, there was no competition between red and blue, but the blue collided together, turning into white light, and the group of Cathay soldiers on the bridge almost couldn't open their eyes.

"Idiot! Which fool turned off the blackout armor? The colonel was furious.

Didn't you say that you had to turn off the shading so that the view on the bridge would be good? Someone muttered in his heart.

However, the colonel could only be incompetent and furious. He felt like the floor was toppling beneath his feet, and he had to do everything he could to keep his balance. If the shock was like being in a bumpy ship, now it is at the center of the earthquake.

He heard a crew member say to him, "We've lost our shield!" ”

What he didn't know was that under Eleanor's command, the ion cannon on the ground was not aimed directly at his ship in the first place, but calculated all the possible directions he could avoid. Three of the nine cannons' salvo exploded in close proximity to the ship, which directly triggered the stress response of its shield, and immediately formed an effect similar to that of a near-miss bomb explosion.

Of course, the power of the ground-air dual-purpose siege cannon cannot be compared with the serious anti-air fortress gun, but three close shots from the bullet are enough for the destroyer's shield generator to enter an overloaded state.

"Turbine crew! Cool down the generator now! Fast! Damage Management Team, Stand by Now! ”

Admittedly, Colonel Murwhisker's response was quite timely and efficient. But it still can't be changed, and for more than ten seconds, his Hellcat 12 is in a state of losing his shield.

It was also at this time that another ion shell, freed from the constraints of the atmosphere and gravity, passed through the turbulence of energy overflow, and bit the lower corner of the destroyer's abdomen like a deadly viper.

"Boom!" The ship's most vulnerable belly armor was hit hard. The energy cannonball almost melted the belly of the ship into a dent before it exploded. Then, a second later, an even more violent explosion sounded inside the hull.

The captain of the Kaitai people was really caught off guard this time, and was thrown out by the violent vibration, and fell directly from the command platform. He was a little confused, on the one hand, he was hit, and on the other hand, he naturally felt that everything today was full of demonic energy.

Anyway, this is also a standard space battleship, although it is just a schoolboy who has no sense of existence in the naval sequence of a big country...... But after all, it is also a behemoth with a length of 340 meters and a mass of more than 30,000 tons!

Even if the armor in the abdomen is relatively brittle, it shouldn't be so reactive?

"Colonel, enemy shelling hit a torpedo tube in the abdomen......"

Colonel Mobeard shuddered for a moment, feeling that the hair on his body was turned around in fright, but then he was a little confused: the ship was loaded with 12 electromagnetic torpedoes in its belly, and any one of them would kill the entire ship.

But aren't they alive and well?

The deputy captain connected the communication below, and after listening to it for a few seconds, his expression suddenly became extremely strange, and he muttered: "Well, there is an anti-aircraft gunner in the lower deck of the ship who was frightened and pulled the trigger before the gun door opened...... Rest assured, the damage management team has gone to deal with it! ”

The Captain of the Cathay people, who is usually known for his harshness and fierceness, couldn't even get angry this time, but he felt that all his strength had been drained, and sighed tiredly: "Repair it immediately, we ......"

"Captain, there's a communication from the other party! Yes, do you want to connect? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Take it, take it. ”

The image of the hateful woman jumped out of the image again.

"Are you still fighting?" The other party smiled and said.

"I, we still have an absolute advantage!"

"yes, you can even destroy all our heavy artillery that can fight back in a minute! However, the nobleman only needs to understand that there are still 3,000 Community soldiers here in Tulon, as long as you and your ship are lowered to the ground. Every day and night, every minute and every second, is our offensive time! We will not give in, we will hold out until our reinforcements arrive! Unless you use neutron bombs to orbital bombing now and wipe us all out. So, tell me, can you do it? Captain? ”

Colonel Cathay's beard trembled uncontrollably.
