Chapter 309: Biting
Not only the Corsica where everyone was, but also the Luoyang not far behind them, also finally included the place where the enemy ship was located into its range.
In the light curtain in front of all the main gunners, the enemy ship on the opposite side was finally covered by a red spectrum. Their eyes were also smeared red with a red halo, as if they were filled with bloodthirsty aura.
It was 19:45 p.m. on 12 November.
Ina pulled the trigger first, throwing two railgun shells at the edge of the distant starry sky. She felt that even if she didn't hit directly, she would definitely be able to hit a close arrow effect. That's how she had that faith.
"Hit the enemy ship's shield! Energy Entanglement Happens! ”
Sure enough, the non-commissioned officer of reconnaissance technology sent positive feedback!
At this time, the shells blasted out by the Luoyang had also hit the target, but this time the effect was a little outrageous. One shot flew somewhere, and the other hit an ice crystal asteroid next to the Imperial battleship.
The giant ice cube floating in the universe was instantly torn into several pieces and drifted away in all directions.
Of course, this is the real shelling hit rate, and everyone is not disappointed.
At this time, the destroyers also began to attack. All the destroyers, including the two that had already received considerable wounds, began to take to the skies, forming a fan-shaped queue directly above the Corsica, and again dropping 36 Hurricane missiles carrying fusion warheads.
Due to the dense ice crystal asteroids still affecting the attack range of the missiles, they were still unable to move forward after all, but a huge explosion of light continued to rise around the ship.
The shattered ice crystal asteroid quickly fused, smearing the fiery and ferocious light with a glimmer of light
If it is in the atmosphere, such an attack can destroy the surface ecology of a planet, but if it cannot be hit directly, its hot shock wave and radiation will not hit the Clear Sky class battleship very much.
The missile bombardment of the destroyers was originally just a cover for the fire of the two cruisers.
At this time, I saw that the imperial warship on the opposite side suddenly reversed and flashed directly into the deeper part of the asteroid belt. As she retreated, she flashed red light, sending a signal to the Community fleet with two long and five short.
In the current naval regulations of the galactic countries, this is a clear provocation at all.
This is an option that is beyond most people's common sense understanding.
You must know that with the current distance between the two sides, it is almost within the range of hand-to-hand interaction.
And the Clearing-class battleship is the largest Ranger Light Cruiser on its own side in terms of length and size alone...... With more than three times the number of armed merchant ships, it can indeed be regarded as a huge ship. Why would such a behemoth take the initiative to choose a narrow combat area?
Isn't this the equivalent of driving a Galen ship full of artillery, and flying a kite with fire from a distance, but having to get into the reef-dense waterway and jump with the arsonist boats and sand boats that rush in.
Sure enough, there is a conspiracy!
Everyone in the bridge exchanged glances, and Eleanor waved her hand, and a frontal three-dimensional picture of the universe unfolded in front of her. Asteroids crisscrossed next to each other, the airspace in front of you, the passages between ice crystals, the retreating enemy ships, and the approaching ships of your own warships are all visible on this star map.
Since then, the fleet's information center and navigators have begun to conduct astronomical analyses, and now they have roughly simulated a three-dimensional model of the potentially engaged asteroid airspace.
However, this is just for reference.
No, when Yu Lian had just entered this star field, he originally thought it was an empty area, but he really hit an unknown meteorite head-on.
"Shield...... down to thirty-one percent. ”
What the hell, this is as powerful as the main gun of an ordinary cruiser! The senior sister scolded in her heart, but said, "Yuli, it's not your problem, don't slow down!" Get all ship damage management teams ready! The whole fleet air defense group, start the obstacle expulsion! ”
The universe seems so quiet and mysterious, but it is very fickle inside, and there are often all kinds of strange changes. Especially in the galaxy of ISA82, a twin brown dwarf, the astronomical parameters are even more complex.
The capabilities of existing cosmic observation instruments and computers are limited, and it is impossible to immediately identify the universe so detailed that even every asteroid or floating object in space can be completely identified.
This requires an excellent technical reconnaissance team and an excellent navigator. In addition, if this navigator is a master-level psionic who "explores" the star ring, and has mastered a magic skill such as "Celestial Vision", there is a high probability that he will complete the holographic star map of the combat area in the shortest time, and he will naturally be able to take the lead when the war starts.
Yu Lian wasn't too sure if there was such a figure on the Clearsky class on the other side. However, if he was the Marquis of Odegar on the other side, even if he knew that it was possible to play a veneer dance with one or two asteroids, he would definitely choose to do so.
I even sang the song! If you don't want to use that new weapon to wipe us out, you won't be like you! Yu Lian thought.
Eleanor waved her hand, and all the ships cut headlong into the asteroid belt.
In any case, such an engagement environment is powerful for their small pieces of spirits.
The two sides began a continuous artillery battle. However, if it was a heavily armed soldier hiding in a bunker with a rifle to stop the enemy with only a short gun in his hand, now it has become a chaotic battle inside the house. None of them had any advantage in terms of range and gunnery, and everyone had cover. Although everyone can cover themselves with ice asteroids, they always have to worry about whether their ship will be hit by the broken ice or crash into the larger asteroid itself.
Such a completely chaotic battle, it is not even Eleanor's turn to command, it is completely left to the respective captains.
She had been keeping an eye on the holographic star map in front of her. Of course, as the equipment on the battleship continued to operate, the surrounding astronomical data also poured into the information terminal, and the star map became more and more detailed. Many obscure places are also clear, condensed into icons of asteroids and various floating objects.
“…… Yuli, if the other party really could fire that kind of test weapon, where would they choose? Eleanor muttered to herself.
"It should be here." Akinayama Hachiman took over the conversation, and directly stretched out his hand to point out a dense asteroid area on the star map: "If we pass through this celestial point, it will really deal a fatal blow to us, not only will we not be able to fight back, but we will not even be able to escape." ”
Eleanor nodded, thinking that this possibility was very high, but she still couldn't help but glance at Akinayama Hachiman, thinking that this girl was shouting Yuri, what are you doing with your little glasses.
There is no way, someone is now almost all focused on the operation of the ship, and he really can't hear the sounds around him.
In the process, both Corsica and Luoyang were hit in succession. Fortunately, in such a chaotic battle, it was difficult for the towering main guns on the heavy cruiser to play a role, and they had been attacking with secondary guns and missiles on the side of the ship, although they did cause damage to the Earth battleship, but it was not fatal in the end.
The largest casualties came from a previous hand-to-hand encounter.
One of his destroyers rushed too fiercely, and the captain exerted his ability at that moment, throwing off the encirclement of the asteroid with an action that was almost like an obstacle race, and stuck to a considerable distance from the Imperial warship on the opposite side, throwing out all the proton torpedoes in the ship in an instant.
It's a perfect attack, but it's also an overly desperate attack. The destroyer was suddenly fired by all the secondary guns on the side of the Imperial battleship.
A turbolaser group fired thousands of energy beams in ten seconds, most of which landed on the Centurion 927 destroyer.
Fortunately, the turbolaser group belongs to the category of close-in defense artillery after all, and the Centurion 927 completely exploded five minutes after being set on fire. Before that, the captain ordered all the men to abandon the ship. In the end, nearly two-thirds of the more than 200 crew members on board were transferred to the rest of the friendly ships, including the captain himself.
The captain of the Centurion 927 is an old ship commander in his early fifties, and he has changed ships three times before, so he has no noble knight style who sinks with the ship.
In any case, the first sunken battleship of the 13th Fleet, thus came into being.
However, everyone on the Corsica did not have time to grieve. After all, in a military sense, the sacrifice of the Centurion 927 was well worth it.
Half of the eight torpedoes dropped at close range hit the target. Even with the shields and armor of the Clear Sky class battleships, it is impossible to remain indifferent. She suffered a massive laceration on one side of the ship, a second fuzzy air flow from the piercing wound, and a second explosion. Even everyone on the Corsica can already see the fire on each other's hull with the naked eye.
"Beautiful! Who is the captain of the Centurion? I'm going to apply for a medal for him! Eleanor smiled and nodded a thumbs up.
However, after all, it is the latest warship of the Empire, and its own damage management design is also the top, and it only takes half a minute for the flames on the hull to be completely extinguished. The battleship itself also did not seem to have been affected much.
If, according to common sense, such an increasingly unskilled battle develops later, everyone should accept it as soon as it is good and take the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield.
However, both sides do not seem to have such a tacit understanding, and they seem to be ready to bite to the end, and would rather die together.
Before I knew it, the time had come to 20:45.
Then, just as Eleanor and Hachiman had speculated, the Clearing-class battleship made a jaw-dropping turn in front of the enemy, and then suddenly accelerated, and with its hard hull and super energy shield, it smashed through a large block of ice about the size of herself, and then drilled directly into a large asteroid belt as dense as a city wall.
The community fleet was also shocked by the other party's action, and stopped shooting for a while. Whether they are the main gun or the secondary gun, they have lost their firing range at this time.
Yu Lian couldn't help but be in awe of the helmsman of the opposite empire. Holding such a large ship and playing this almost drifting maneuver alone makes him eligible to compete for the title of the Galaxy Racing Championship.
At this time, the detective's voice sounded again: "After the asteroid belt, high-energy ...... occurs No, unknown reaction! Start analyzing! ”
Yu Lian didn't even have to guess to know that the so-called "unknown reaction" must be the "space bubble reaction".
"It's coming!" He said to Eleanor.
Senior Sister nodded expressionlessly: "Luoyang, prepare to take over the position of this ship!" Prepare space concussion bombs. ”
