Chapter 800: Sky Encounter (I)
Based on what the Tang side did in "Georgia" and what he did in the Bavaria space station, no good end would come to anyone who was not clean.
Gordon? Lombard is one of them, and in the years he has been the director of the Rail Authority, he has done things that have disregard for human life, corrupt the law, and oppressed the good, and his future is tied to the fate of His Majesty the King.
He didn't want to see Zanggowell die and couldn't accept the collapse of the new faction, so he personally boarded the Notre-Dame-class drone carrier that sailed from the Orbital Authority's warship dock to the interior of "Cabreto".
Tens of thousands of feet above the ground in the stratosphere, a warship with a body size of more than 420 meters hovers in the air, the shape resembles a bamboo shoot that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the skin is wrapped in layers of green leaves.
This is the Notre Dame class drone carrier of the United Kingdom of Turanks, a new type of warship developed by the new forces, and it is a mass killer that can be compared to the old school of the Holy Spirit II aircraft carrier.
Generally speaking, only some light cruisers can penetrate into the atmosphere to carry out operations, and large ships such as heavy cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers cannot penetrate deep into the interior of the planet due to various influences. Of course, the Skidplatney-class motherships built by Marquis Kane of the Monya Empire are an exception.
In the official literature, the Virgin-class drone carrier is also unable to enter the planetary atmosphere, but the scene in front of him has completely subverted the perception of the Virgin-class drone carrier by military fans at home and abroad.
In fact, there are two sets of production plans for the Notre Dame class drone carrier, one is the conventional Notre Dame-class drone carrier presented to the outside world, and the other is an upgraded version that is exactly the same as the conventional model of the Notre Dame class drone carrier, but the internal structure is very different...... Yes, the core component of the latter comes from the Armed Forces of God.
The number of upgraded Notrea-class drone carriers is relatively rare, but the performance of all aspects far exceeds that of conventional Notre Dame-class drone carriers. For example, there are fusion reactors, such as dual-channel anti-gravity engines, such as light alloys......
Powerful components give it powerful functions, and with a length of more than 420 meters, it can break through into the atmosphere of "Cabreto", which is one of them.
Because the Orbital Authority has always played the role of a "Cabreto" gatekeeper. After much talking, Zanggowell finally forced Henrietta to back down and gain the authority to station a Virgin-class drone carrier at the patrol fleet headquarters.
In the eyes of the outside world, His Majesty the King did arrange a Virgin-class drone carrier in the Orbital Administration in accordance with the agreement, however, the actual situation is to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, which is actually an upgraded version of the Virgin-class drone carrier, and its combat effectiveness is almost 2-3 times that of the conventional model.
Just like Henrietta secretly researched a new type of armor against thermal weapons and implemented it in the Skywalker Guard. ZangoWill also sneaked up on a lot of things that didn't put it on the table.
He has the support of God's armed forces in the dark, and it is easier to do similar things, which is one of the reasons why the new faction is able to move from weak to strong step by step, and gradually gain an advantage and suppress the old faction.
Now, at the critical moment of life and death, Gordon? Lombard naturally knew what to do. So the Notre-Dame-class drone carrier from the Orbital Administration headquarters came to the skies of "Cabreto".
On a stage with the blue sky as a curtain. The "green leaves" on the surface of the Virgin-class drone mothership are spread out, and the Saint attack drones are sprayed from the port in a plural form. Turned into a stream of black currents and rushed to the sky battlefield.
This is also a place that is different from the conventional Notre Dame class drone carrier, the upgraded Notre Dame class drone carrier can catapult up to 4 drones at the same time in the port, and has a very powerful explosive power.
Around the Notre Dame class drone carrier, more than 200 warships have changed from a marching posture to a stubborn posture, firmly guarding the flagship. Face off against the Tang side's combat aircraft.
The Trihor Air Force, consisting of 6 Gryphons, 6 Tactical Aircraft, 6 Phoenix Fighters, 20 Corruptors, and 2 Iron Ravens, is scattered around the Orbital Authority's ship group. Attack in a guerrilla manner.
It's not that they deliberately use such a strategy, but those Saint unmanned attack planes are really annoying, and their combat power is stronger than those more than 200 warships combined. What's more, what's even more tricky is that Emma can't crack the communication channel key between the Saint attack drone and the Mary-class drone carrier, and can only rely on the electronic warfare equipment of the Iron Raven to interfere to a certain extent.
Because Tang Fang was determined to end the battle of "Cabreto" as quickly as possible, Emma's attack plan for the three air forces was to fight hard, even if he was desperate to lose part of his troops, he would annihilate the fleet under the Orbital Administration in the shortest possible time.
Although the ratio of combat units invested by both sides is more than 5:1, the patrol fleet of the Orbital Administration is all in service with some outdated warships, and there are no large ships, most of them are fast assault boats and missionary-class frigates, and there are only about 20 Punishment Knight-class destroyers, so it should be an easy thing to defeat them.
But it turned out that it wasn't easy, it was difficult. Thanks to the addition of the upgraded Notre Dame class drone carrier, the combat effectiveness of the patrol fleet has been greatly improved. And Gordon? Lombard was also not incompetent, from the commander-in-chief of the garrison to Willy? After learning about the situation on the battlefield of the Hal Palace, Smit directly met the battle with a stubborn posture after encountering the air forces of the three clans, and at the same time liberated the combat power of the flagship to the greatest extent, and released a large number of drones to join the battle.
As a result, the air forces of the three clans could hardly rely on the adaptability of the atmospheric environment and the powerful firepower to break through the defensive formation of the patrol ship group from one direction, and were disturbed by the wolf pack mode of the Saint attack drones gathering and scattering in an orderly manner, and they were gradually cut off and turned into guerrilla warfare fighting on their own, further losing their own advantages.
After this, Gordon? Lombard once again changed the attack mode of the drone swarm, and deliberately sold a flaw, at the cost of 10 heretic-class fast assault boats, isolated large units with less powerful mobility such as the Corruptor and Iron Raven from fast units such as griffin fighters, tactical aircraft, and Phoenix fighters, and then used the Saint attack drone swarm to reverse the cutting tactic, cutting the large battlefield that originally covered the entire airspace into several small battlefields.
As a result, the scales of victory began to tip in favor of the Orbital Authority.
Gordon? It's true that Lombard is an abominable villain, but it's undeniable. He is a very capable fellow, otherwise he would not have been valued by Zangowell and promoted to the gatekeeper of the royal capital.
THE CORRUPTOR AND THE IRON CROW WERE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE BATTLESHIP-CLASS FIREPOWER, ESPECIALLY THE TWENTY DESTROYERS, WHICH POURED MOST OF THEIR FIREPOWER INTO THE LIVING BATTLESHIP WITH STRONG ATTACKING ABILITY, AND THE 200MM CALIBER RAILGUN ARC SURGED. The projectile had a sonic boom, leaving a trail of light and fire in the sky. The vertical launch system of the ship's tail missile spewed a dragon-like tongue of fire into the sky, and the crimson warhead smashed through the wind, pouring out a dragon of billowing smoke and speeding towards the target group.
THE SCENE LOOKED TERRIFYING, BUT THE RESULTS WERE EMBARRASSING, AS A 200MM-CLASS RAILGUN ALONE COULD NOT FATALLY INJURE THE CORRUPTED, LET ALONE THE RAILGUN ATTACHED TO AN OLDER MISSIONARY-CLASS FRIGATE.
In addition, there is a lot of interference in the operation in the atmosphere. Air resistance, high-altitude convection, clouds, humidity, wind, etc., will have some negative effects, so the power of the railgun will inevitably be weakened, let alone inflicted heavy damage on the corrupted.
Of course, once hit by a projectile, it will also receive different degrees of damage depending on the part of the projectile.
The most embarrassing thing is still those missiles. The fixed-point defensive target aircraft deployed on the battlefield by the Iron Crow and the aiming UAV cooperated to intercept more than 90% of the incoming missiles. Form a pervasive line of fire in the sky.
Fortunately, most of the Saint attack drones were dispatched to the area where the Corruptors were, and the several laser cannons of the Virgin-class drone carriers were quite threatening, forcing the Corruptors to wander outside, and the Iron Crows could only rely on their own mobility and interference capabilities to evade the attacks of the Saint attack drones, and there was no way to approach the ship group to release the Iron Raven bombs.
Tactical aircraft, gryphon fighters, and phoenix fighters are divided into different regional battlefields by the attack mode of hundreds of heretic-class fast assault boats and Saint attack drones, which are unable to converge with the corruptor and the iron crow. It can only engage in dogfights with the Saint drones.
Because the Phoenix fighter has the blessing of plasma shield, the 20MM Gauss cannon equipped with the Saint UAV is not enough to cause much damage to them, at most it slowly erodes the strength of the shield, but the 100MM caliber railgun and various types of missiles of the heretical-class fast assault boat and missionary-class frigate make them a little scruples.
However, the Phoenix fighter is a Star Spirit Air Force unit after all. It is the only attack unit that has achieved a superior situation on the battlefield in the sky, in fact, if there are not only 6 Phoenix fighters, but 12, it can carry the gunfire of the battleship, use the ion cannon to strafe, and tear the opponent's battle formation hard, breaking the face a little, and finally forming a domino effect and subverting the battle situation. Now they can only use movement warfare to consume those enemy units at an extremely slow rate.
The six Phoenix fighters were like six colorful butterflies, moving up and down in the gap between the slow-moving heretical-class fast assault boats, dancing with the smaller Saint attack drones, shooting out arc-shaped beams one after another, sometimes piercing through the smoke clouds, falling on the armor of the battleship and bursting into a burst of flash, sometimes hitting the drone, exploding into a flame, sowing rain and falling into the UK.
The light of the ion beam is bright, the colors of the energy web are vivid, and the elegant wingspan paints a touch of blue, adding a touch of lightness to the restless smoke and firelight.
On the other side, tactical planes and griffon fighters, with their powerful maneuverability, carried one missile after another, and shuttled through the intertwined firepower network of Saint attack drones and warship weapon systems.
Flames erupted from under the tactical wings, bullets struck the Saint attack drone, clanging metal, and then flames erupted from the black painted surface of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which was only a few meters long. Some of them will return to the mothership's repair platform for quick repairs, but many more will fall out of control, or explode into a large ball of rapidly expanding fire, throwing countless metal fragments.
The griffin fighter was like a drunken drunkard, the tail flame swayed from side to side, the fuselage drifted rapidly in the criss-crossing line of fire, and with 4 claw missiles as a round of attacks, it crossed the blockade line of the Saint attack drone, poured on the port side of a heretic-class fast assault boat, and bombarded two 140mm twin howitzers into broken parts emitting smoke and arcs, and tore a large hole in the shell, revealing the internal facilities.
The winds from the tactics and griffons scattered the slow-spreading smoke and cut it into streams of floc, and the wind collided with the wind, letting out a dull whimper, forming cyclone after cyclone that swallowed up the fine pieces of tobacco.
Artillery roared. The wind is howling, the light and rain are raging, and the smoke is billowing.
The rapid fire from the muzzles of the guns sent the sky into a shock, and the stream of bullets swept through the sky seemed to separate the sky, and the swift passing fighters and slow-advancing ship formations and the immovable Virgin-class drone carriers. The entire airspace was thrown into turmoil.
Gordon? Lombard stood by the fence on the second floor of the bridge, watching the staff in the equipment pool on the first floor and the fierce confrontation on the big screen directly opposite, with a calm expression on his face.
Different from Willy? Smit was helpless, and there was a sparkle in his eyes that called ease.
The garrison's mechanized infantry brigade was on the verge of collapse under the attack of the swarm, and the 2395th Brigade was trapped in the city of Decarben, because the army did not have any strong combat units, and the progress of naval technology could not be compared.
Although the Orbital Authority's patrol fleet is only a few outdated warships, an upgraded version of the Virgin-class drone carrier exists. However, it largely compensated for the lack of patrol fleets operating in inland environments. Since the beginning of the war, his fleet has eliminated 3 fighters and 2 living warships on the Tang side, although this is only one-eighth of the opponent's strength, and his own side has also lost some Saint attack drones and ships, but he has absolute confidence to win the final victory in this battle.
It is rumored that Captain Tang has not tasted defeat since he was born, and today he is going to break the myth of the other party's invincibility and use the group of rags of the Orbit Administration. Teach that guy a good lesson, and let everyone in the world know. There is no eternal victorious general in the world, as long as the operation is done properly and the tactical collocation is emphasized, you can get out of the disadvantage and win the victory.
He had made a lot of preparations for this campaign, since the moment when the Tang side killed more than 20 warships of the patrol fleet at the gate of the Bavaria space station. The two sides have an inextricable hatred.
Gordon? Lombard has always been a person who is resolute and persistent, even in the face of a prestigious figure like Captain Tang, he will not give up easily. Before leading his army on the expedition, in order to be able to refresh his shame, he even borrowed a Vision-class reconnaissance ship from the garrison. Use it against those stealth fighters.
Unfortunately, what awaits him this time is a mixed unit of Tactical Aircraft + Gryphon Fighter + Corruptor + Iron Raven. But it doesn't matter, Lord Gordon is a very talented person, although he is in charge of the Orbital Authority, he has the command skills and outstanding vision of a famous general.
In fact, in addition to the conflict of interests and the humiliation of the Bavaria space station, he also has another grudge with Tang Fang. When the "Seraph" arrived at "Kehanos", it once made an example of the monkey and killed the head of the General Customs Administration, Vladimir, in front of Tyron.
Gordon? Lombard is none other than Vladimir's in-laws.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of interests, face, or emotion, he has enmity with Tang Fang.
The fire flashed on the big screen, and the energy weaving net on the left wing of a Phoenix fighter exploded like a wave-like arc, making it difficult to maintain a flight attitude, and the fuselage was crooked, falling from the sky with two concussive light marks.
There is no doubt that this is an ideal development, and the fall of the Phoenix fighter indicates that the battle situation has completely entered his rhythm, and the air force units of the Tang side will be worn out of combat effectiveness little by little, and then killed by him.
Gordon? Lombard has confidence in himself, in the upgraded Notre-Dame-class drone carrier, in this battle, and equally in a bright future.
"Intelligence officer, transfer a copy of the battlefield information to Lieutenant General Wiley, the ground forces need an example to strengthen their confidence."
YES, THIS IS A SHOW-OFF, A SHOW OFF OF THE RED LUOLUO, USING THE FAILURE OF THE TANG SIDE TO CAST HIS GLORY.
The intelligence officer agreed, and sent a video edited by the data processing team to the garrison command center.
"How's the battle going on the garrison's side? Haven't the sons of war arrived yet? ”
Gilcot led the Skywalker Guard to attack the garrison fleet in order to meet Henrietta and the Don.
With the strength of the garrison fleet, it is naturally far from being the opponent of His Royal Highness the Regent's personal guard fleet, and defeat is only a matter of time, and the only ones who can reverse this situation are the Children of War, or the Lionheart's Independent Fleet. The latter may have already confronted the 23rd Ranger Regiment, so he can only hope that the Children of War will move faster, try to ensure that the military forces of the new faction are in an advantageous position, and try to stabilize the situation in the space battlefield before the Tang side's living warship cluster is dispatched, so as to use attrition tactics to eat the opponent little by little.
By Valey? According to the materials provided by Smit, Tang's alien troops appeared from the black cloud, and they were supposed to be teleported through quantum teleportation technology.
The "Cabreto" battlefield, the space battlefield inside the third-layer warp speed interception network, and the space battlefield outside the third-layer warp speed interception network constitute the battle of "Kehanos".
Gordon? Lombard is very clear that Tang's biological mothership and the main force of the biological warship have not yet appeared, judging from the comparison of the forces on the space battlefield outside the third layer of warp speed interception network, the new faction side has a clear advantage, and the most likely place for the biological battleship cluster is the space battlefield outside the third layer of warp speed interception network, to help the 23rd Ranger Regiment and the auxiliary defense fleet to fight against the Lionheart Independent Fleet and the Doomsday Fleet.
