Chapter 410: Beginning to show power
The pirate fleet reacted quickly, still facing the Keha fleet with their bow facing the Kha system fleet, keeping their firepower to cover each other, but the deceleration boost vent in the bow opened, using the reverse thrust to make the fleet slowly retreat.
"Sir, the enemy fleet is shrinking in formation!" The radar officer reported.
"Hmm!" Han Yihang nodded, this tactical move taken by the other party is a very conventional way to deal with it, they can neither confront the Keha Galaxy Fleet head-on, but also unwilling to give up their positions, so this choice is a relatively compromise play, and it is indeed a very effective choice for the pirates, as long as they can delay enough time, once the follow-up troops arrive, then the Keha Galaxy Fleet will have to face a counter-encirclement situation.
"Leave them alone, the fleet continues to press forward! How long will the enemy's follow-up fleet arrive? Han Yihang asked after giving the order.
"It's going to take five minutes at the earliest!" The Tech Officer immediately reported that he had been monitoring the jump data of enemy ships.
"Good!" Han Yihang nodded, and then said to all the officers and soldiers: "We have four minutes to deal with these six pirate ships, everyone listen to my command!" ”
"Yes!" The officers and men of the Keha Galaxy Fleet replied in unison, although it was the first time they had accepted the unified command of a commander, but the calmness and calmness shown by Han Yihang gave these officers and men enough confidence.
A minute later, the Khax fleet was approaching the gate, and by this time they were about to bring the pirate ship into their range.
"The Keha Light's main guns are filled, and iridium ammunition is used to target the enemy's two armed merchant ships!" Han Yihang began to give the order to attack.
"Yes!" The gunners of the Keha Light got busy, they turned on the fire control radar according to the coordinates provided by the radar, and locked the two armed merchant ships under their guns!
The Keha Light had been replaced with three 650mm cannons, which were usually mounted on heavy cruisers and had a range far beyond the range of ordinary frigates.
After experiencing the previous battle, Han Yihang also realized that the ammunition configuration of the Keha Galaxy Fleet was very unreasonable, so when he purchased equipment last time, he also added a large number of high-end ammunition to the fleet, although these ammunition are much more expensive than ordinary iron ammunition, but the power is definitely not comparable to iron ammunition.
Soon, the gunners on the Keha Light completed the tactical maneuver, although it was a second-line fleet, and the officers were a little lazy, but the soldiers below were paid by assessment in the years when there was no war, so even if the technology was not superb, at least it was not a shame.
"Sir, you've locked your target!"
"Sir! The target is locked! ”
……
Soon, all three main guns were locked onto the target and filled with elixir.
"Launch!" After Han Yihang estimated the range, he immediately gave the order to attack.
"Boom, boom, boom......" With three cannon shots, large-caliber iridium ammunition was ejected from the chamber and then fired towards a distant target.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The automatic gun is not an energy main gun, and its shells have a ballistic flight time, so the hit rate is relatively low, but correspondingly, the automatic gun does not have the same long cooldown time as the energy main gun, and it can fire a large amount of ammunition in a short period of time to ensure its own hit rate in the way of barrage coverage.
So although automatic artillery is far inferior to energy guns in terms of power and lethality, because of its cheap and efficient efficiency, this weapon is still very effective even in the space age.
At this time, although the Keha Light was still about two hundred kilometers away from the pirate ship, the shells were in a near-vacuum cosmic environment, and there was no resistance at all, and they were speeding all the way, and it would not take long to reach the target!
……
"Boss, they seem to have opened fire!" A small pirate reported that the accuracy of the radar on the pirate ship was not particularly high, and their radar did not show very clearly for a warhead with a diameter of only about half a meter.
"Fire so far? How long has it been since there been a war? Ignore them! The pirate leader sneered, in his eyes, these old soldiers of the Keha Galaxy Fleet are all pampered, and they can't even figure out the effective range of the artillery.
For the pirates operating in the Orlis system, the nearest regular army to them is the Keha fleet, so the pirates know the situation of the Keha fleet very well, and they know the attributes of every ship in the Keha fleet, which is why this pirate leader despises the commander of the Keha fleet so much.
But how could the pirates have thought that the Quekha fleet has recently changed its outfit? You must know that this kind of pension fleet generally does not receive additional funds from the Command, and this is indeed the case, but the pirates did not expect that the Keha Galaxy Fleet came to a commander, and people paid out of their own pockets to arm the fleet!
So the current fleet of the Keha system is definitely not the same fleet as before!
Tens of seconds later, an overwhelming array of warheads arrived near the pirate ship!
"Doodoo Dot ......"
"Alert! Alert! A large number of ultra-high-velocity objects are approaching! ”
Almost all of the pirate ships were sirens blaring.
"! They really hit us! The pirates panicked.
"Dodge! Dodge! The pirate leader ordered, but how could it be now? The pirate ships all turned off their main engines and only opened the reverse vent in the bow, which was not enough power for the ship to maneuver and dodge.
"Bang!" A shell hit an armed merchant ship, and the half-meter diameter shell did not sound very scary, but the high explosives in it were amazingly powerful.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the armed merchant ship was blown out of a large hole with a diameter of more than twenty meters, and the entire capital of the ship was almost flattened!
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......" followed by the martyrdom in the ship, the hull of the ship quickly caught fire, and the pirates tried to escape in the dinghy, but the overwhelming shells came from behind, not to mention that these boats had no chance to be released, and even if they were released, the probability of their survival was very small.
The second armed merchant ship of the "Boom Boom Boom ......" was also doomed, and in the blink of an eye he was also hit by several shells, and then was smashed to pieces on the spot!
"How is that possible?! How could they have such a strong firepower! "The pirate leaders are dumbfounded, is this fleet in front of them still the Kha system fleet they know?
