Chapter 112: The Catastrophe Ten Years Ago (8)
In the previous operations, the eight provincial-level fleets in the eastern theater of the Z country fleet not only lost quite a lot of combat ships, but also suffered quite serious losses of supply ships and other ships, and at this time, the remaining supply ships of the original eight provincial-level fleets were less than 20 percent of the original.
Coupled with all the supply ships of the four provincial fleets brought by Kang Xiliang, there are about 300 transport and supply ships together, which can transport six million civilians at most, but the civilians of the entire Sengerman system together are at least more than two billion, and the transportation volume of six million is simply a drop in the bucket.
A series of violent bloodshed caused by the evacuation of civilians was transmitted to Kangxi Liang through the microbrain, but Kangxi Liang only said one sentence: Let all the families of the soldiers take the lead in retreating, as for the others, just wait first, and if there is a vacant position, they will naturally receive them.
If he could use money to kill insects, he could consider saving those rich old men.
At this time, the second wave of the bug's attack was imminent, and Fang Jingquan had not yet assembled the fleet, but it was very important to appease the emotions of the soldiers, which Kang Liang, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the fleet of country Z, knew very well, and he didn't expect those rich people to come and work for him now. Of course, if he can use money to kill insects, he can consider saving those rich old men.
The purple Eritan surface cracked and slowly opened like a mouth, and countless white bone spurs looked extremely terrifying under the light of the stars.
"It's like a human head with its mouth open in the night sky, and its upper and lower jaws are full of sharp teeth." After the war, one of the surviving soldiers said with trepidation.
Before everyone forgot what they were supposed to do in horror, the microbrain had already controlled the weapon in advance and opened fire on the purple Eritan.
However, the first wave of beams flying towards Purple Eritan was mostly blocked by the bone spurs shot by Eritan, these terrible bone spurs possessed far more resistant to blows than the Shock Worm, and the firepower of the space-based defense laser cannon alone could not effectively shatter these bone spurs, and only the destroyer's main cannon and above could effectively kill these bone spurs.
Fortunately, the beam from the battleship's main gun was not affected too much, and given past experience, each new variant of the bug has one thing in common - the shell is bound to be more impenetrable. Therefore, Microbrain has made a preliminary estimate of the Purple Eritan's ability to resist blows, and the original four trillion-megawatt beams per Eritan are now adjusted to six each.
The pillar of light containing a huge amount of energy slammed into the surface of the purple Eritan, but the expected hole did not appear, and an extremely deep blood hole appeared where Eritan was hit.
However, it didn't penetrate, and the wounds that Eritan had been punched were repairing frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye, and before the beam cannon cooled down and began the second round of attacks, these Eritan's injuries had recovered nearly halfway, and the battleship had to expend a second round of firepower to kill him, otherwise everything would be lost.
"Damn, how much firepower have we wasted?" Fang Jingquan slammed his fist on the table, and the sound was so loud that the staff officers around him were startled.
"Get all the ships ready to pump energy to the shields, and we're ready to take on the opponent's punch." Fang Jingquan turned to sit on the captain's chair and fastened his seat belt firmly to his body.
The remaining nearly half of the bone spurs rushed towards the shield without hindrance, and the bone spurs that arrived first were quickly annihilated by the antimatter floating in the shield, but the shield was weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, the shield was unable to stop the bone spurs. The space-based defensive laser cannon behind the shield was exposed to countless bone spurs, which were easily knocked out by them.
For a moment, the fireballs from the explosion of the space-based weapon platform continued to flicker in the air, and the purple Eritan destroyed most of the laser cannons on the first line of defense with this first wave of attacks alone. The shield and fleet were forced to shrink in front of the second line of defense.
"Chief, I suggest preparing to use the Bastion weapon system to kill this purple Eritan as much as possible." Ying Zheng stood beside Kangxi Liang and looked anxiously at the first line of defense that was constantly burning in the distance.
Kangxi Liang pondered for a moment, the use of fortress weapons will consume a considerable amount of energy, I am afraid that the power of the entire planet will be cut off if one shot is fired, which may cause considerable trouble for evacuation, but this time it is obvious that it is already a very critical moment, and only if the fleet drags on long enough can the civilians have enough time to evacuate.
Thinking of this, Kangxi Liang nodded heavily: "Fortress weapons are allowed, targets, purple Eritan." ”
"Yes!"
Several intense rays of light lit up near the star, its brightness reached more than ten times that of the star, and at the same time, several flame streams flew towards the fortress weapon platform, the closest three circles to the platform, whether it was a starport or a civilian space station, all of them were blacked out in an instant, and the back of the originally brightly lit Planet One was also completely dark in an instant, and the only thing still in operation may be the anti-gravity device located in the core of the planet and providing buoyancy for the city.
"Launch!"
With Kangxi Liang's order, the pillar of light containing the energy of destroying the world and destroying the earth rushed straight towards the purple Eritan. The bugs wanted to dodge, but the pillars of light shot by the fortress weapons were not comparable to the lasers fired by other small laser cannons, and the powerful energy made the bugs have no way to dodge, no matter where they ran, they would be hit by the energy waves, and then turned into nothingness under the heat.
The blinding light of the pillar of light could not be shielded even by the deepest color of the ship's portholes. In all the obstacles it collided with, whether it was a scorpion or a bacteriophage mantis, whether it was Eritan or a purple Eritan, all of them were evaporated on the spot, don't look at Eritan is about the same size as an asteroid, in front of this pillar of light, Eritan is only melted on the spot, what carapace and what shell, all as brittle as paper.
Because the insects were too dense, some of the pillars of light shot out by the fortress weapons could even penetrate more than a dozen Eritans in a row, making several tubular gaps in the dense formation of insects, and the insects, which were originally quite neat, suddenly became a mess.
"Old man, if your fleet wants to act, now is the time." Kangxi Liang opened the communication channel and yelled at Fang Jingquan.
"Understood!"
The remnants of the three provincial fleets of the former Eastern Theater of Operations, SH, JS, and AH, a total of three Sun-class battleships, fifteen Haoyue-class cruisers and forty destroyers, and countless reconnaissance ships as protection to launch a counterattack against the insects. (The AH and ZJ were able to recover half of their main guns and their engines to 80 percent of their normal level as much as possible, thanks to the intensive repairs of the Sengermann system's engineering fleet.) )
"AH, prepare to use the arc weapon, clean up their pawns first."
"Roger, the arc weapon is starting to charge."
The engine of the battleship AH began to accelerate, overtaking the SH to become the lead ship of the fleet. The shield in front of the fleet quickly dissipated, creating just a gap that would allow the fleet to pass through.
"Lao Fang, I wish you all the best." Kangxi Liang watched through the screen as Fang Jingquan's ship sailed out of the shield, now, the main fleet in the galaxy will lose contact with the counterattack fleet, and the two sides can see each other, but the communication system is blank.
As soon as the AH broke out of the shield, the scorpions that were still in chaos immediately rushed towards the AH as soon as possible, of course, it was completely different from the attacks launched by the orderly scorpion swarms in the past, and the current scorpion attacks were basically chaotic and unorganized.
However, the fleet now has no time to test the efficiency of the insects' attack in such an environment, the AH directly released the charged arc, and in an instant, all the scorpions within hundreds of kilometers around the AH died, if people can stick their heads out into space to smell the surrounding smell, they will definitely be smoked on the spot by the stench emitted by the charred corpse.
When the scorpions on this side died, the bugs finally recovered, rearranged into a neat queue, and the bugs on the front of the counterattack fleet also came to their senses, and saw that the AH turned on the thrust reverser engine and changed to JS as the leader, the mother worm gave up the tactic of using the scorpion as the main force of the first wave of attack, and instead attacked the battleship with the latest biological weapon, the phage mantis.
"Okay, it's finally here, let them taste the power of arc weapons." Fang Jingquan stood up abruptly and walked to the porthole to look at the bugs that were attacking and rushing towards the JS.
JS's anti-aircraft laser cannon group first attacked the phage mantis, but the laser cannon that can usually penetrate the scorpion was constantly bounced open by the shell of the phage mantis, and the scene was full of lasers that were constantly being bounced off and losing their accuracy, and only a few mantis were hit by the laser to the weak point and died.
Fang Jingquan's brows began to furrow, just this scene was enough to be sure that the resistance of these phage mantis was far superior to that of scorpions, and now he began to doubt whether the arc weapon could inflict a fatal blow on this new type of creature.
The results will be there soon.
In less than half a minute, the army of phage mantis rushed around the JS almost intact, and the captain of the JS did not hesitate to press the button of the arc weapon.
The compressed energy burst out in a very short time, and the arc of electricity continued to swim among the almost airtight phage mantis. However, the arc that was supposed to burn the phage mantis into a pile of charcoal did not do the slightest damage. It's like a praying mantis shell made of completely insulated substance.
Fang Jingquan couldn't help but take a few steps back, and collapsed on the captain's chair, his original battle plan was to use the arc weapon to basically clear the scorpions first, and then use the three battleships as the center to concentrate on clearing the shock explosion insects and Eritan, but now it seems that let alone the scorpions, this huge number of bacteriophage mantis alone can't be solved at all.
The phage mantis landed on the shield of the battleship JS without hindrance, and the antimatter shield immediately annihilated their shell into countless photons, but the truly combat-capable mantis inside landed on the surface of the ship unscathed.
The incredible speed and slender body of these praying mantis allowed them to maneuver the trenched surface of battleships with ease, and their sharp forelimbs could easily split a soldier in individual armor in two.
For a while, the screams of the soldiers who were barely breathing after being cut down by the praying mantis kept coming from the earphones, mixed with the frightened cries and shouts of the commanders for help.
Fang Jingquan gritted his teeth, got up and left the captain's chair, grabbed his rifle and put it next to the astrolabe, and looked at Wei Brain with blood-red eyes: "Let all the destroyers approach the JS, right away!" ”
