Chapter 399: The Encounter at Dillard (Part II)
"False...... Fake? Is it an illusion? Charman almost bit his tongue off, thinking that the other party was just a small ship, and a salvo could kill them half a life, but he didn't expect it to be an illusion.
Of course, the illusions are not the point, the point is how they can hide from the multiple radars of their own reconnaissance network, which can not help but simulate laser scattering and camouflage thermal radiation. What kind of international joke, whose holographic projection technology is so clever?
In addition to being surprised, Charman also had another thought in his heart, the other party was only 400 units at full capacity, these were all illusions? Or is it a partial illusion? If the latter, how many?
With such a small number of troops, such a small flying unit wants to cause lethality to its own ship group? Did Byron, Ruskin and others get their brains rusty?
Charman self-righteously thinks that the people and the Worm Clan troops are the last resort of Byron and others in the "Christier" industrial park, as for the lightning python-class destroyer behind the butt of the "Headless Horseman", he directly ignored it, after all, only the Morning Star was the only one that came out of the virtual space, and the air force of the human and insect tribes was suddenly killed by the shadow side of "Christiel", so it is more reasonable to say that these illusions came from the ground industrial park, it seems that "Daystar Pharmaceutical" This is also evidenced by the corporate nature of the company. You must know that "Daystar" is a pharmaceutical company, and it is really normal to engage in some biological research and secretly develop alien weapons or something.
"Tell the people on the reconnaissance ship, mark the illusions in the target group, use them as a reference, and include them in the combat command network." Don't look at Charman, the deputy head of the regiment, a bit of "Albert is the only one who gets the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", but in terms of command ability alone, he still has two brushes.
"Yes." The herald takes the order.
This period when Charlman issued combat orders. The Morningstar has already engaged the flagship's direct escort. On the other hand, a massive number of missiles are synchronized with the combat number of the command network, and the guidance system automatically corrects the target, bypassing those flying units marked as "illusions" and heading straight for the rear target.
As one fireball after another exploded, more and more illusions were spotted by the pirates. From this point of view, the sentry's "illusion" skill is strong, and it can be described as a god-defying skill to confuse the enemy, but once the short-handed combat is connected, it will inevitably show the horse's feet and be seen through.
At Rector, it was because the swarm itself was a feint, and the Rector Navy fleet was scattered again. The main forces were suppressing Tang Lin and others in the Silbes Star Port, and only then was Tang Fang calculated and sealed his throat with a sword.
At this moment, under the tight, meticulous, and orderly ladder attack of the pirate battleship, the crappy part of the battle plan of storming the enemy formation began to appear.
Most of the air forces in Tang's hands are short-range attack units, and there is no one that has long-range combat capabilities. It's just that this guy is ridiculously expensive, and he uses it to be a pioneer. Blowing up a ship hurts him to death.
Of course, it is necessary to put it aside. Rushing to the enemy's artillery fire like this, even if there is an illusion in front, there will be some battle damage, and a guy like Tang Fang who goes out and doesn't pick up two dollars will definitely die of depression.
Now, though, it's different. As early as the battle with the pirates' interception team, he had already sent out 12 detectors to weave a large net around the "Kristel" battlefield, and any disturbance would be gathered through the Guò system to the central computer of the planetary command center, and Emma would sift out important information and relay it to the Tang side.
The Detector is the crystallization of Protoss reconnaissance technology. Not only is it small in size, but it is also equipped with an invisible position that is enough to shield the body's energy reaction, and it has upgraded its speed at the observation tower before, which makes it the most relied on reconnaissance unit of the Tang side, and it loves Cheng dù more than the eyeworm.
The detector's sensing matrix can capture the vast majority of small movements of a large number of targets within a certain range, and use the core AI to perform real-time analysis of the entire battlefield.
With such a powerful reconnaissance capability, the various kinetic energy cannons of the pirate battleship have been locked onto the trajectory by Emma before they have even fired, and only some missiles and torpedoes that are laser-guided or relay-guided can exceed the trajectory prediction of the detector AI.
But even if these missiles and torpedoes are lucky enough to bypass the illusion in front, what awaits them behind them is either the blade worm of the flying dragon or the high-energy laser beam of the fixed-point defense target machine thrown by the iron crow. One by one, these guided weapons, which the captains had high hopes for, turned into grand festive fireworks that stained the battlefields on both wings as if it were daylight.
The first round of attacks failed, and except for a part of the illusions marked, nearly 300 warships fired a salvo to nothing, which made the hearts of the commanders of the pirate ships cool down. How could these small ships be so difficult, as if they could anticipate all attacks.
The creatures with a body length of 10 meters, a torso like a snake, and two wings on the ribs, as well as the air and space fighters with a right wing of only 12 or 3 meters, flew so fast that the battery could not lock on to them. The slightly larger transport planes in the back, as well as the aircraft that can fire fixed-point defense target aircraft, are slower, but when the turret turns, they also turn, and even if they can lock, the time it takes from firing the cannon to the kinetic projectile flying tens of kilometers is enough for them to exert their flexibility far beyond the battleship, or flash to the side, or use the illusion in front to disrupt the battleship's target locking system.
The most incredible thing is that it is more than 40 meters long, with chilling sarcoma and a huge beak alien, they are not like 40-meter-level mechanical aircraft with their own flexibility to dodge artillery fire, but selectively resist small and medium-sized projectiles and missiles. It is true that those weapons that are enough to penetrate the armor of a battleship, or even to blow up a light assault boat, can also have a good effect on it, but what is strange is that in just a few breaths, those cold wounds will slowly close and heal as before.
How to fight this kind of battle? How can such a scene be accepted? As a large pirate group, "Apollo" is naturally not comparable to a small role like "Garuda", and the crew may be slightly inferior to the Star Alliance Navy in terms of comprehensive ability, but in terms of toughness and bravery, it is far several times more than the former. After years of space fighting, they have already tempered their fortitude and ability, and they are even more experienced in naval warfare.
In the eyes of these people, the so-called naval warfare is, in most cases, nothing more than the bombardment of artillery and giant ships, and whose ships have more advanced ships. The odds of winning are higher, of course, formation, movement mode, formation coordination, command art, luck and so on are also factors that cannot be ignored.
However, what happened in front of them completely subverted their perception of naval warfare, so that naval warfare could still be played like this? So flexible, so tricky. So off the beaten path?
What they don't know is that if they can do this, I'm afraid that the entire human territory will only be Tang Fang, and there will be no semicolon.
When Charman realized that something was wrong with the situation, this combat method could not effectively cause damage to the enemy, and was planning to change his thinking, suddenly, there was a shock under his feet, and a blue beam of light instantly illuminated the entire bridge.
The deputy commander in charge of commanding the battle of the escort fleet directly under the "Headless Horseman" fell to the ground. The whole face was pale and there was not a trace of blood in sight.
Charman woke up instantly, and subconsciously looked to the left, on the projection bulkhead connected to the ship's onboard sensing system, a thick beam of light with a diameter of nearly 2 meters passed close to the port side of the "Headless Horseman", all the way away, piercing an old Tiger Shark-class destroyer in front of the left, and then, blowing up the tail propulsion system of a Charles Federation-made Sea Dragon-class cruiser. Along the way, 1 armed shuttle and 1 combat support ship were destroyed. After the two unmanned reconnaissance planes, they bent a line in the low-earth orbit of "Christel" and finally threw themselves into the dark void on the side of "Laxis".
"What...... What is it? The deputy head subconsciously looked behind him, a Longsword-class frigate was rapidly disintegrating in the distance, and behind it, the location of the power compartment of the Daredevil-class destroyer flashed with fire, and the explosion formed a straight line in the belly of the ship. There is also a Sulu Empire Sea Lion-class cruiser on the beam flight path. The entire island of the ship, where the radar and fire control system were located, was split from it, and large fireballs and the wreckage of the ship poured out like a blowout.
In addition to these, there is also a Mengya Empire Shark-class heavy assault ship in the left rear of the "Headless Horseman", which was also pierced through the bow by a blue beam, spewing out red flames.
"Ship ...... Captain. Be...... It's the lightning python. ”
There is no need to be reminded by the deputy captain, even if Charman guesses, he knows that it is the lightning python's hands and feet. But the key is, how can a 200-meter-sized destroyer kill 7 or 8 of its own ships with one shot, this is ...... It's just unbelievable.
Is this still a lightning python? This python has cultivated to perfection, right......
The staff of the driving group was shocked into a cold sweat, and the blue and blue beams just now were a little higher to the right, and the "Headless Horseman" was afraid that it had been pierced to the heart at this moment.
"Quick, turn around." Charman was anxious, he thought that the left and right wings were the main threat even if there were nearly 400 warships with illusion and real body, and even if the lightning python behind had excellent defensive capabilities, judging from the way it sank and killed the 5 warships of the interception team, it still relied on 6 200MM railguns, such a weapon system could not pose much threat to the "Headless Horseman" at all.
HOWEVER, IT TURNED OUT THAT HE WAS WRONG, VERY WRONG, 6 200MM RAILGUNS ARE JUST SECONDARY GUNS, AND THE REAL WEAPON OF THE "LONE RANGER" IS A HIGH-ENERGY PARTICLE CANNON WITH A DIAMETER OF NEARLY 2 METERS.
"Ship ...... Captain, the enemy on both flanks is coming. "There is a way that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and when the Morning Star bluffed Charman, the battleship groups on both wings also ushered in a short encounter.
Charman felt extremely uncomfortable, the "Apollo" side even counted the damaged battleships, a total of 362, from small assault boats to large battleships, and even wrapped a bunch of virtual and real things.
I thought that switching to the Cross Battle Array would let those poor creatures who recklessly broke into the battle group know why the flowers were so red, but how do you say this? The shape shì turned sharply, and the group of ships on his side is now difficult to take care of, and it is not enough for the head to be pinched, and a Dinghaishen needle iron is put under the buttocks, which needs to be dried and cleaned to choose the hair, "um"...... Put a bucket in the spot, sprinkle some cumin on the fire, smear some five-spice powder, tear off a slice and dip it in garlic paste, and dip it in vinegar. Tsk, tsk...... That slippery, that tender, that fragrant, that fresh!
"Uh, uh, uh......" Charlman shook his head vigorously, pursed his lips, and patted his face alternately from side to side with his hands, "now is not the time to wander." ”
He walked over to the railing in front of him, looked at the monitor array, and couldn't move any more if he wanted to take a look.
On the left flank, the swarm has been entangled with more than 100 pirates, a real hand-to-hand combat!
At a distance, the Corruptor and Wyvern have a limited range of attacks, and Charman doesn't know much about their combat power levels, confined to the thick scalps of large chunks and their incredible ability to recover. The little guy is flexible and changeable, and his ability to see stitches and needles is unparalleled in the world.
It was only at this point that he finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the Corruptor and the Wyvern, the former was large in size, and a group of three or five gathered together to challenge the large and medium-sized ships such as battleships and frigates as opponents.
Jesus is above! Charman had always thought that the word "mouth cannon" was used to describe human beings. It wasn't until this moment that he realized one thing, who said that the mouth cannon is the patent of human beings, and the mouth cannon of these deep space creatures is a hundred or a thousand times more poisonous than aqua regia.
How thick was the shell of a battleship? The thinnest ones are above 1.5 meters, they are not born of armored vehicles, main battle tanks and other concubines, they are bargains, absolute eldest sisters-in-law, bearers of space civilization, if converted to homogeneous rolled steel plates. It is conservatively estimated to be 12 meters thick.
If a 12-meter-thick homogeneous rolled steel plate is made into a wall or a door, imagine how thick and heavy it is.
However, even so, under the dual effect of the paraspores of the corrupted and the strong corrosive sticky, it is like the decaying bark of an old tree. It was peeled off layer by layer, and finally collapsed into a shocking hole.
Charman's heart was dripping blood. That's a battleship! Battleship! A battleship that costs tens of billions of stars! Looking at the dark green area, it was like watching the insects peel off his daughter's clothes one by one.
There are also those flying dragons who can't be driven away like flies in front of the battleship, look at this kite flying, it is called a perfect fire, reaching the peak. Twist it twice, turn around and shake it off. Twist twice, turn around and shake a shuttle, such as destroyers, frigates, reconnaissance ships, combat support ships, small ships, turrets, radar stations, sensing systems, and even auxiliary thrusters, these have become live targets for their operations. That's really called a point where there is a fire, where to poke where to spasm, the key is that it also has a turn, a spin, in some field terms, people call it a split attack, splash damage.
Whether it's the Covenant's Longsword-class frigates, or the Charles Federation's Cobra-class frigates, or the Sulu Empire's Seahorse destroyers, and all sorts of other small ships, the places where these annoying locusts pass are designated to turn on their backs, and there is chaos.
In addition, there are some annoying illusions, flying around various types of warships, this squirt, that spit. In this kind of hand-to-hand combat situation, even if it is marked as a "phantom target" by the battleship, as long as it drills into the pile of insects and comes out again, who can know if it is real or fake?
If it is a long-distance fight, the pirates can still take advantage of it, but once the strings are connected, it becomes a one-sided war.
The cross battle array on the left flank was torn apart by the swarm, and the battle situation on the right flank was not much better, and the Viking fighters that had upgraded their attack and defense were like a silver wave, carrying wind and fire, pouring rows of MT50 Lanzel Flying Mines onto the large and small ships on the pirate side.
Twelve fixed-point defense target planes were unevenly distributed in the battlefield space, and the high-energy laser beams were like dazzling ribbons, and some missiles locking onto the Viking fighters had just been sprayed out by the vertical launch system, and they quickly went to destruction, exploding into a cloud of fireworks, disrupting the line of sight, and at the same time, the violent air flow also blew the battleship itself to the ground.
In terms of the control of the Iron Crow, Emma is well versed in the tridity of sports warfare, and the fixed-point defense target aircraft can not only crack the missile, but also disrupt the offensive rhythm of the battleship, at this time, the Iron Raven will use another of its skills - hunting missiles.
This high-powered bomb with area-of-effect splash damage cannot cause a one-hit kill on battleships and cruisers, but it is extremely effective against small frigates and destroyers, especially reconnaissance ships, combat support ships, and assault boats below 100 meters.
As a fusion strike missile with intelligent AI, laser guidance, and ultra-long-range acceleration flight, the energy impact released when it explodes far exceeds that of heavy torpedoes launched by ordinary battleships. Often, after a violent flash of light, all the material in a radius of more than 200 meters is melted away.
If you want to say that the most loss, you have to count the high-level Templars in the transport plane, which is still a group of three. This time, they abandoned small targets and specifically troubled those large ships, and under Tang Fang's deliberate orders, they did not use psionic storms, but specifically released energy to reverse erosion.
Indeed, according to the Battle of Lector, the skill of "Energy Countererosion" is enough to kill small naval combat units such as aerospace fighters, but for warships with strong shielding interlayers such as frigates and destroyers, even if they are continuously released, they can only paralyze secondary ship modules such as power, functional lines, and weapon systems, which is not enough to cause fatal injuries to ships.
And Tang Fang wants this kind of effect, he has units like the Corruptor, the Iron Crow, the Viking Fighter, and the Wyvern, and he can't look down on small ships, but large ships...... It can be given to Byron to strengthen the fleet. After all, Byron was the former commander of "Apollo", and if he killed all these warships in one go, even if he regained control of "Apollo", he would only be a bare-bones commander, which would be contrary to his original intention.
Of course, frigates and destroyers have shielding interlayers in their hull armor, and large capital ships of the cruiser and battleship class have higher protection performance. Tang Fang's countermeasure is very simple, one "energy countererosion" will not work, what about the two? What about three? On the pirate side, there were no more than 6 battleships and 32 cruisers, which were divided into two parts.
30 high-level Templars VS3 battleships + 16 cruisers, do not release "psionic lightning", use "energy reversal" alone, 1 high-level templar can be used 5 times, supplemented by the Viking fighter's lightning early armor penetration, it is naturally not difficult to paralyze large ships. (To be continued......)
