Chapter 215: Head-on Interception III
When facing the siege of the enemy's three frigates and three destroyers, although the cruiser was in a disadvantageous situation, the cruiser still did not choose to attack all the incoming destroyers in a large area when the opponent's destroyers rushed over in groups, but first carried out a concentrated fire attack on the destroyer that the enemy broke through first. In the face of the heavy missile strike of the cruiser Tornado, the destroyer began to maneuver and evade maneuver quite smoothly.
But what the other party never expected was that when the destroyer successfully dodged the blow of the heavy missile, the naval gun strike of the cruiser Tempest also came, and the result was that although the destroyer at the head was still more than 100 kilometers away from the cruiser Tempest and had been fine-tuning its sailing route, trying to maneuver to avoid shells and heavy missiles, the leading destroyer was still covered by a large area of dense salvo fire from the cruiser Tempest. Immediately, the strength of the destroyer's outer electromagnetic shield was bottomed out, and after the sudden destroyer continued to advance for a while, the cruiser Tempest also entered the fire range of the enemy's destroyer group, so of course, the three frigates and the three destroyers of the 805th Brigade of the Iron Claw Security Group, which was constantly approaching, began to fire at the destroyer Tornado.
At this time, although the cruiser Tempest had already felt the pressure of the enemy, but at this time, the Tempest cruiser was fearless and began a wide range of maneuvering tactical actions, and at the same time continued to pour fire on the leading enemy destroyer, so as the distance approached, although the tactical pressure of the Tempest cruiser was increasing, the effect of the attack on the enemy was also visibly better, and after two rounds of naval gun salvos, the destroyer that was hit by the Tempest was hit to the armor belt, The destroyer's electromagnetic shield had long since broken and failed, and most of the destroyer's armor belts had been overwhelmed, and several of them had been cracked by the cruiser Tempest.
At this time, the destroyer of the 805th Brigade Group, which was the leader, also realized that the situation was not good, so the destroyer broke away from the combat array of the destroyer group, and began to retreat in the direction of its own aircraft carrier while doing tactical maneuvers to evade, but although it had already done so, the destroyer was still affected by the fire of part of the guns of the cruiser Tempest, and soon the broken armor on the destroyer of the 805th Brigade began to shatter. Nearly twenty shells then fell mercilessly on the enemy destroyer, tearing through the already fragile hull.
In three minutes, the crew of the destroyer escaped from the destroyer, which had become the wreckage of the battlefield, and then the lifeboat was captured by the group of Lucky Cat fighters who followed closely behind, and retreated towards the Lucky Cat. After cleanly taking out the lead destroyer in the opposing frigate cluster, the cruiser Tempest was in full swing and began to respond more easily to the fire of the remaining three frigates and two destroyers that were approaching.
In the process, the cruiser of the 6th Task Force Storm, which had been entangled by another cruiser of the 805th Brigade, had sunk the cruiser of the 805th Brigade with the support of the fighter group of the aircraft carrier Lucky Cat.
On the other hand, after assisting the cruiser Tempest in sinking the cruiser of the enemy's 805th Brigade, the 300 fighters of the aircraft carrier Lucky Cat, which had previously supported the cruiser Storm, did not immediately go to support the group of their own fighters that were fighting fiercely with the enemy's aircraft carrier fighter group, but rushed towards the cruiser Tempest together with the cruiser Storm.
At this moment, the cruiser Tempest has been under the frantic siege of the enemy's three frigates and two destroyers, which has caused the strength of the electromagnetic shield of the Tempest cruiser to bottom out, and at this time, the Tempest cruiser is using its armor belt to resist the shells and heavy missiles fired by the enemy's destroyer group, but fortunately, the damage of the destroyer's guns to the cruiser's armor belt is not large, and it can withstand it for the time being. When carrying out tactical maneuvers to evade heavy missile strikes, it is often also the time when skills and tactics are tested the most.
And at this point, the cruiser Tempest did a very good job, this Tempest cruiser operated as fierce as a tiger, although it seemed quite embarrassed and a little tired to deal with, but it also managed to maintain 80% of the protective strength of the armor belt, and at this moment the three frigates and two destroyers of the enemy's 805th Brigade were quite uncomfortable at this time, thanks to the accurate naval gun strikes of the cruiser Tempest, Although the 805th Brigade's destroyer group worked very hard to fire at the cruiser Torricane and perform a lot of tactical evasion, the strength of the electromagnetic shields of the enemy's three frigates and two destroyers was still completely visible to the shells fired from the cruiser Tornado.
Just when the two sides seemed to be evenly matched, although the three hundred fighters of the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier who came back to the rescue had finished shooting heavy missiles when they besieged the enemy cruiser before, but at this time, the shells in the cannon combat module on the fighter were still sufficient, although the power of the fighter gun's cannon was only one-tenth of the power of the naval gun equipped on the frigate, but the fighter was superior in number, and it was difficult to be hit by naval gun fire in close combat, so although compared to the fighter, The three frigates and two destroyers fighting against the cruiser Tempest were indeed thick-skinned, but the Tigers could not withstand the wolves, and when the three hundred fighters returned to help and joined the battle group, the right-wing destroyer group of the 805th Brigade, which was fighting fiercely with the cruiser Tornado, suddenly felt the pressure.
And the situation of this skirmish, as the cruiser Wild Cloud approached, became very unfavorable to the right-wing destroyer group of the 805th Brigade. Just when the first wave of naval gun salvo fire from the speeding cruiser Wild Cloud came to the armored belt of each starship of each starship in the group of destroyers on the right flank of the 805th Brigade, the three frigates in the enemy destroyer group in the fierce battle decisively turned their heads and accelerated in one go, and quickly moved away from the battle circle, leaving only the other two destroyers to deal with the siege of the two destroyers and the surrounding 300 warplanes as if they were alone.
After the three enemy frigates that broke out of the battle circle made a tactical move that seemed to be out of battle, they did not want to retreat to their own positions, but rushed directly towards the side of the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier, and at this time, the situation was obvious, and the three frigates of the 805th Brigade were obviously going to rush over at this critical moment to cause as much damage as possible to the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier. At this time, the aviation captain He Suji, who sensed the enemy's intentions, immediately asked the three hundred fighters to give up the siege of the two destroyers, and instead chased the three frigates that were approaching the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier at great speed, and tried his best to delay the speed of the three frigates.
After the three frigates rushed towards the Lucky Cat with all their might, the two destroyers who stayed behind seemed to think about it in an instant, and they were engaged in the two cruisers Tempest and Wild Cloud without distraction, and also tried to delay the two cruisers to return to the Lucky Cat carrier. Under the background of those little starlight in the starry sky, the battle situation in the battlefield of this encounter at this time was particularly fierce, and as time passed minute by minute, the three frigates of the 805th Brigade Regiment, which were charging towards the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier, were getting closer and closer to the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier at this time.
