Chapter 397: The Encounter at Dillard (Part I)

A network of space-based defense platforms, consisting of speed guns, missile launcher arrays, various electronic mines, EMP traps, and fixed-point magnetic rail batteries, exploded into piles of fire wreckage in the cross-attack of three groups and five teams of pirate warships.

Outside the effective range of the fire defense network of the "Christel" industrial park, the water ghost-class and military-class combat support ships dropped aerogel bombs and EMP radioactive sources into the planet's airspace, forming a dense layer of air that obscures the infrared, laser, and radar lock-on functions of conventional weapon systems.

Various types of manned/unmanned bombers carrying high-power explosives, foam bombs, bunker bombs, graphite bombs, and other offensive weapons flew out of the battleship's engine room, and took advantage of the blindness of the industrial park's defense system to drop all kinds of powerful bombs on the ground buildings that stretched for thousands of meters.

Like the waves of the sea, the light and fire exploded in a straight line on the flat lookouts, signal towers, aprons, and vehicle runways, and the smoke evaporated and then quickly dissipated, and the concrete facilities were blown beyond recognition, and the originally flat terrain seemed to have been gnawed by the flaming beasts.

The "Daystar Pharmaceutical" side was not idle, and the 300-1200mm magnetic rail turret system adjusted the shooting angle in real time under the analysis and calculation of the central computer, based on the information transmitted by the digital chain network, and threw one kinetic energy bomb after another into the air, penetrating the smoke clouds, and accurately hitting some near-ground warships.

Fragments the size of the door panel flew in all directions, and the larger battleship [was blown out of the outer compartments and functional components, and its combat capability was damaged by different degrees, and the smaller bombers, shuttles, and combat support ships were directly cut and torn apart by the violent kinetic energy carried by the massive projectile, and the whole body fell apart, suddenly exploded, and turned into sharp fragments of different sizes. It shoots in all directions with a very high initial velocity.

Rows and rows of missiles also sprinted out of the cloud of smoke, flying towards the nearest enemy target under the command of the core AI. Some of them quickly approached the weakly armored small aircraft, and without waiting to touch the fuselage, they exploded into a fireball, and the high-speed flying fragmentation arrows were generally inserted into the target's body. Or caught fire and exploded, or lost control, was captured by the gravitational pull of "Christel", plunged to the ground, and fell to pieces.

The battle was carried out very fiercely, even if the attacking side had more than 400 warships, with the cooperation of space-based defense platforms that gave up warp navigation, life support, loading and other capabilities, and only one-sided pursuit of combat effectiveness, as well as ground firepower. The branch of the fleet responsible for attacking "Christel" fought very hard, knowing that the industrial park was the most important thing, and more than half of the space-based speed guns, magnetic rail batteries, and missile launchers were gathered on high-altitude tracks in the area of fire.

In comparison, it was much easier to attack the troops of the resource supply station, and under the attack of a large number of projectiles, the space station could not stand it after all, and under the spread of internal explosions, various areas disintegrated one after another, turning into pieces of large-mass metal garbage. Some fell into "Christel", others flew to "Laxis". Others bump left and right and become floating garbage in the void.

Once the resource supply depot was destroyed, the pirates threw all their forces into the attack on "Kristel", and inspired by the previous battles, this time, they were no longer limited to air strikes. Instead, it cooperates with ground advancement to form layers of encirclement of the fire defense network of the industrial park.

The naval battle is almost coming to an end, and the next step is to advance on multiple fronts and tear apart the land-based defense network. Strangely, though. On the battlefield of the previous naval battle, the wreckage of the battleship that bounced arcs from time to time and floated around like a drowned person was a combat unit only on the side of the Pirates, and there was no shadow of the local mercenary armament of "Christiel" at all, and the losses of the "Daystar" pharmaceutical group were only a few small assault boats, reconnaissance ships, cargo shuttles and other non-combat ships.

Finally, after the resource supply depot was torn apart by the explosion, the largest piece of debris formed fell north of the equator of "Kristel", the whole earth was trembling, the shock wave spread rapidly to the surroundings, and some electromagnetic rail turrets and laser turrets were affected by it and appeared inaccurate.

60 meters underground in Area A of the industrial park, the number of defense networks of the base is the command center, dozens of staff members are busy sweating, the security manager in charge of defense work, has been an official to a colonel, and later retired for various reasons The former Star Alliance officer Ruskin? With an angry expression, Add looked at the model of the battlefield outlined by the holographic projection equipment above the combat command station.

The green blob representing the defense of the industrial park is rapidly decreasing, and the combined attack from the sky and the ground is putting pressure on the entire defense network, and if this continues, within half an hour, "Christel" will surely fall into the hands of the enemy.

"These dogs, motherfuckers, vile, hateful, bastards!" Ruskin? Eddie stroked his half-bald head over and over again, he was angry and anxious, and his face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.

"I really regret that if I had listened to your advice, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

"It's too late to say anything now, and the top priority is how to arrange troops for defense." Ruskin walked out behind him, fair-skinned, long, steady, elegant, with a calm, calm expression, a thick navy blue trench coat spotless, and a straight collar covering half of his face.

According to the aesthetic standards of ordinary women, there is no doubt that the person in front of him is a beautiful man with style, taste and demeanor. It's just that he wears an eye patch on his left eye, which greatly reduces the level of his originally handsome style.

If Tang Fang, Zhou Ai and the others were here, they would definitely recognize his identity at a glance, Byron! It was Byron, the former leader of the Apollo Pirates? Alonso.

"Arrange troops for defense?" Ruskin sighed helplessly: "In the current situation, is it still useful to defend?" It was only a matter of time before the park's defenses were breached. ”

Byron groaned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him with blazing eyes: "Albert's target is me, hand me over." ”

Ruskin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "It's easy to hand you over, but even if we do, will they let us go?" Stop dreaming! You are nothing more than one of Albert's targets, and as for the industrial park, it depends on what his master thinks. ”

"Well, I regret one thing now, that I didn't let you go with that Stephen guy to fight the bandits. In that case, maybe someone will be able to burn two dollars for me to spend on this day every year in the future. ”

"Huh?" Byron frowned at him.

"Don't look at me like that." Ruskin shrugged helplessly: "It's all death anyway." It's better to die laughing than crying. ”

Byron didn't say anything, turned his head to look at the combat command platform, and said in a deep voice: "Charman is a smart man!" ”

"What do you mean?" Ruskin looked puzzled, and also glanced at the operational command platform, his brows furrowed more and more: "Why did they slow down the offensive?" ”

On the battlefield model map intertwined by the holographic projection system, the collection of identifiers representing the Pirates' side is advancing towards the industrial park more and more slowly.

When the ground defense system of "Christel" was intact. It's normal for opponents to advance slowly, but why is it that their advance speed is even slower now that the ground defense unit is almost 70% damaged?

Ruskin thought of a possibility: "That guy from Charman wants to surround and send reinforcements?" ”

Byron asked the correspondent, "How long has it been since I lost contact with Stephen?" ”

"It's been 56 minutes."

"Sure enough." Byron sighed: "Although Albert is cowardly, timid and afraid of death by nature, but in terms of scheming and the city, Stephen and Chen Jian are not as good as him, and it is no wonder that after my accident, 'Apollo' will fall into his hands." ”

"It's useless to talk about that now." Ruskin had a smile on his face and walked to the front of the operational command platform: "How can we pass on the battle situation of 'Christiel'?" ”

"It's hard." Byron's answer was very brief. Albert was thoughtful. The layout of "Dillard" is almost impeccable, how can such a guy let go of any small detail that is enough to make him lose all his previous achievements? He is determined to eliminate all those who oppose him in charge of the Apollo Pirates, and the "Daystar Pharmaceutical" in Christiel's industrial park can fulfill his measures to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, second, to curry favor with the new master behind the Apollo Pirates, and third, to vent his personal anger.

"So we're just going to sit there? Waiting for Charman's butcher's knife to fall? Ruskin muttered to himself, he didn't dare speak loudly. That will frighten the surrounding staff, once the negative feelings spread. The consequences are unimaginable.

"......" Byron was silent, in the face of the unfavorable situation in front of him, unless a divine soldier descended from heaven, no one could save the lives of him, Ruskin, and these people in the industrial park.

For a moment. He thought of a person in a trance, just ...... Far away in Mengya, he can't reach the whip at all, and the distant water is difficult to quench the thirst of the near...... If you take 10,000 steps back, what can you do even if you come? A battle of this magnitude. Far more than the small fight under Planet 5.

"Let's hope they can live well! No matter how dark Mengya is, it is also a sovereign country, far safer than the Tianchao Star Region......"

……

When Byron and Ruskin were helpless, on the other side, they attacked the flagship of the Apollo Pirate fleet "Headless Horseman" of "Christel".

Charman sat in the captain's chair padded with tiger skin, gently caressing the golden spotted fur that had been treated with antiseptic and waterproof treatments, and quietly felt its silkiness and softness.

The "Headless Horseman" is Byron? Alonso's love ship, converted from the Tyrant-class flagship of the Phoenix Empire, in addition to the advanced all-mode communication and command system, the rapid response warp engine, the powerful quantum computer array with processing power, is also equipped with cruiser-level powerful firepower, and a magnetic field shield.

Today, this car, which originally belonged to the former chief, was owned by him, and he turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at Byron? In Alonso's head, this is not ironic, it cannot be described as dramatic.

If in the past, the original head of the regiment did not recklessly run to the Monya Empire to die, how could Albert control Apollo, and how did he achieve today's status.

"Apollo is no longer the original Apollo, poor fellow, and he still wants to regain the throne of the regimental commander? It's just wishful thinking, there's Terry? What about Ferdinand supporting you? Wasn't it calculated by Albert? Even 'Daystar Pharmaceutical' will pay a lot of money for this. Tut...... Tsk......"

Charman quietly stared at the aerial footage of the occasional firelight on the sidestring monitor, his expression leisurely contrasting with Byron and Ruskin below.

"Tell the ground forces, slow down the pace of advance, the bombing group will also reduce the density of bombs, the escorts and destroyers will withdraw to their wings to rest, and the cruisers and battleship squads will continue to maintain fire suppression."

"Yes, Captain." The herald agreed. Command is issued to subordinate combat units.

Charman was calculating an account in his heart, 400 warships, launching a surprise attack, already had the initiative advantage, more than 320 warships of "Christier" were not there, and nearly 40% of the space-based defense platform was paralyzed by the pre-arranged meticulous work. But even so, the "Apollo" side still paid the price of nearly 120 warships to destroy the entire space defense line of "Christel's".

After that, in the process of attacking the ground, 46 more warships successively withdrew from the combat sequence. It is conceivable that if the local fleet does not leave, and then cooperates with the space-based and land-based defense networks, even if the main force of "Apollo" is exhausted, I am afraid that it will not be able to please it.

Of course. There are not so many ifs in the world, success and defeat, Byron? Alonso is in danger this time!

Not only Byron? Alonso will die in this battle, and Stephen and the others, who rushed back after hearing the news, will also fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy, and will finally be defeated and destroyed.

I have to say, Albert's little nose and small eyes. A three-inch Ding with an obscene face, in terms of tactics and strategy. He has superhuman vision and vision.

"Captain, the cruiser and battleship attack formations have launched an attack as planned, the small and medium-sized ships have moved to the two wings, and all the damaged units have returned to the rear of the fleet, and emergency repair operations are underway."

"Okay." Charman nodded, his gaze sweeping over the large central screen.

In the dark void. The main guns of the battleship and the cruiser fired in unison almost illuminated the low-earth orbit of the "Christel," and a large-mass kinetic energy projectile with a diameter of nearly one meter fell to the ground like rain, blowing up one shocking crater after another.

Hundreds of kilometers of ground around the industrial park were shaking, flying rubble, and large and small craters. The fires that rise from time to time turn the originally flat and bright above-ground buildings beyond recognition.

Some mechanized infantry wearing Covenant Spear I, Lancer II, and a small number of mechanized infantry wearing Pilgrim power armor from the United Kingdom of Dolanx, drove light combat vehicles, and flooded the buildings in the park after breaking through the perimeter interception net.

Some of these people ran wildly, some stood on uncovered cars, and some sat on the edge of small tanks, each with their guns in hand, shouting wildly.

Laughing, yelling, teasing, cheering...... From afar, it looks like militants whizzing past Somali highways in the 21st century.

Charman was also smiling, but his expression was not exaggerated, he was smiling, with a leisurely demeanor that could drive away millions of soldiers with a fan, and could fight the world with one word.

The web has been woven, and now, just waiting for Stephen? The return fleet led by Su crashed in.

In just 3 or 5 minutes, Charman waited for the report of the investigation team, however, the content surprised him, not Stephen? The report of the reinforcement fleet led by Su shows that the warp speed response is not high, the course is also deviated, and what is even more outrageous is that there is only one TMD, and it is still a small ship.

How does this say? In the battle of tigers and wolves, break into a mouse, and are not afraid to be trampled to death?

Charman was stunned, and 120 kilometers from the right flank of the battleship formation flashed with silver light, and a Charles Lightning Python-class destroyer appeared on the periphery of the battlefield.

Needless to say, the ship was naturally the Morningstar that left the Jakarta Bull star system and came to the Dillard star system after a small and half month.

There is no danger all the way, and you arrive at your destination safely, but how do you know that when you get out of the virtual space and take a look, you have to fight on the other side, it's just amazing.

Originally, Tang Fang was a little sleepy after drinking two cups of coffee, and he was being joked by Zhou Ai, saying that this thing was no less than a good sleep medicine for him. But when he saw a scene on the central monitor, the sleepiness that had been scratching his little liver like a beautiful woman's stockings disappeared in an instant.

What's going on? Before leaving, through Guò military channels, it was learned that Byron and his followers were now hiding in the Dillard star system, using "Daystar Pharmaceutical" as a cover to fight against Albert and the forces behind him, who were in the limelight for a while.

Doesn't it mean that the defense line of "Christel" is very solid, even if Albert holds most of the Apollo Pirates' forces, it will be difficult to capture this place, and even if he can take a step back, the price will be too great for him to bear?

Can...... But what's going on in front of you? Clusters of metal wreckage floated around the Morningstar, and in the distance, a fleet of more than 300 warships was bombarding the ground of the "Cristel".

Didn't Dalton swear that "Dillard" was as steady as Mount Tai? Look at this face...... Fortunately, the old guy is not here, otherwise, the old face must have nowhere to rest.

"Tang Fang, you see ......" It was Aros who spoke, and the veteran came out of the "Lost Land" and entered the realm of "Jakarta Pur" and looked a little depressed, and it took half a month before he adjusted his feelings and returned to the bridge, which made Tang Fang more sure of his guess, but he was afraid of ...... The "story" of Aros is not simple.

"Huh?" Following the veteran's point, a battleship protected by regiments on a monitor on the port side attracted his attention, the shape of the ship was very different from the Star Covenant ship system, dark and dark, and the whole gave people a sense of depression and mystery, especially the bow of the ship, as if it had been bitten off by something.
