After a long rush to repair, the battle between the two sides began again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time, the Southern Fleet, which had been silent for a long time, launched a new wave of attacks without warning, and the weapon systems on most of the Northern Fleet's warships did not seem to have been repaired, only a few battleships launched a counterattack, and most of the other ships had to dodge. Seeing this, the Southern Fleet decisively began to advance its positions in the direction of the equator. However, before they could advance to the vicinity of the equator as before, the warships of the Northern Fleet had already been repaired, and they decisively launched a counterattack, suppressing the Southern Fleet in its current position, preventing them from moving any further.

Just as the warships of the two sides resumed the battle, the aircraft of the two sides that were still entangled near the equator had reached their limit. In the beginning, some of the aircraft on the periphery of the warband broke away from the battle and began to return home, and as time went on, more and more aircraft joined the queue for return. Zhou Xin saw that some of the flying machines were obviously about to catch up with their targets, but suddenly they changed direction and returned straight to their own camp.

At this time, the warships of both sides have to dodge the attack from the other side, and at the same time, they have to recover the aircraft, and at the same time, they have to fire at each other to keep the enemy's fire suppressed. Although it seems that the battle is not as fierce as before, the battle situation is more complicated. At the same time, those aircraft that have returned to their own positions cannot relax their vigilance, and the targets of both warships are not only the opposing ships themselves, but also the groups of aircraft that have gathered together. Zhou Xin saw with his own eyes that a thick beam of light swept directly past the edge of a battleship, directly sweeping over the group of flying machines that had gathered near it and were waiting to land. Immediately, the vehicle hit by that beam did not even explode, but directly turned into dust in space. After being swept by the beam, a huge hole appeared in the middle of the group of aircraft for a split second, and after a while, the huge hole was filled by the surrounding aircraft.

Not only this time, Zhou Xin saw that there were many times when the attack from the enemy was directly towards the group of aircraft, and sometimes the battleship obviously did not make an evasive action, and the enemy's attack would also pass around the battleship, and the intention was obviously to be the group of aircraft around the battleship. Of course, the agility of the aircraft is not comparable to that of the battleship, except for the first attack on the aircraft group and the elimination of dozens of aircraft without preparation, the subsequent similar attacks have not played a very good effect, basically only one or two unlucky aircraft, but the battleship has suffered a lot less attacks. Seeing this, the warships of both sides invariably abandoned this idea at the same time and refocused their firepower on the battleship itself.

The chaotic situation on the battlefield lasted for nearly an hour, and in this hour, the aircraft of both sides were overhauled and replenished one after another, but those aircraft that had completed the replenishment did not rush to the front line of the battlefield at the first time, but continued to fly around the battleship like the group of aircraft waiting for maintenance.

However, this situation did not last long before it changed, and Zhou Xin was a little surprised that after all the aircraft were replenished and overhauled, they still did not fly to the original battlefield near the equator, but the warships began to move first. This time, it was the Southern Fleet that took the lead, and after being suppressed by the Northern Fleet for so long, they once again began to slowly advance under artillery fire. Seeing that their own firepower was not enough to suppress the Southern Fleet, the Northern Fleet immediately increased its attacking firepower, but the Southern Fleet continued to advance slowly, and at this moment, they were only less than a hundred kilometers away from the equator. Seeing this situation, this time the Northern Fleet was not to be outdone and marched towards the equator, and after a while, the two fleets came into close contact at the north of the equator, and at the same time, the aircraft that had been flying around their respective warships before were once again engaged in the battle, and the fierce battle began again.

This time, the warships of both sides were not just firing at a distance of less than 50 kilometers as before, but also a large number of aircraft from both sides were scuffling around the battleships. It can be said that the battle has been carried out so far that it can be regarded as a hand-to-hand battle between space warships, unlike the previous slow-paced attrition war, this time the aircraft of both sides, including the battleships, are consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye in a short period of time. Just for the first salvo, one of the battleships of the Northern Fleet was hit by more than a dozen beams and turned into a wreckage in the universe. The Southern Fleet was no better, and almost at the same time, two of their warships were hit by a large number of missile-like weapons fired by the Northern Fleet. Although it was not directly reduced to wreckage like the battleship of the Northern Fleet, the engines of the two battleships exploded violently, and the outer decks were also severely damaged, basically losing their combat capability.

After only an hour, this phase of the battle was coming to an end, and although the battle was much shorter than before, the losses were much greater than the previous one. From the picture on the screen, Zhou Xin could clearly feel that the density of aircraft around the battleship was now much more sparse, and according to Atlas's estimates, in the previous short hour of battle, both sides had lost at least more than half of their aircraft. Of course, not only the loss of the aircraft was serious, but the situation of the warships on both sides was also a little unbearable, looking at the entire screen, Zhou Xin did not see a single battleship that was not injured. Each of the warships on both sides suffered some minor or severe damage, ranging from smoke rising from the outer deck of the battleship to large or small blast holes throughout the hull. Zhou Xin saw that the back half of a battleship was quite intact, but its head had completely disappeared, compared with other warships of the same model, its head had disappeared by at least one-third, and in this case, it actually insisted on not exploding, still staggering in space.

At this time, the warships on both sides were basically left with only sparse firepower, not that they didn't want to continue fighting, but that the weapon systems of both sides had basically been destroyed in the previous battle. At this moment, the only remaining aircraft of the warring sides have become the main force in the battle, and seeing that the enemy's warships are in this state, the aircraft of both sides invariably rushed towards the other party's warships, wanting to take the opportunity to leave a few more enemy warships, and even their own warships can't even take care of their own warships.

Now, on the screen, everyone saw a very strange scene, the warships on both sides were retreating at full speed towards their own territory, and around them were actually enemy aircraft, especially those that were seriously damaged. At this moment, the aircraft of both sides are like locusts, slowly gnawing at the enemy warship, of course, as a battleship, it is not easy to bully. After being attacked by a swarm of aircraft, the close defense weapons on the battleship came in handy, and all the undestroyed close defense weapons were intensively spraying tongues of fire in order to destroy the hateful locusts. After being met with stubborn resistance from the battleships, the aircraft on both sides changed their battle tactics, adjusted their formations, and then began to pick on the heavily damaged battleships and the weak close defenses to concentrate the attack. After discovering the intention of the aircraft, the battleships that were still intact in close fire began to move towards the damaged battleships that had been set on fire, trying to provide support, but it was too late at this time.

It didn't take long for Zhou Xin to see that the battleship that had lost its head became the first battleship to be unfortunately destroyed by a flying machine in this battle. In front of the camera, the battleship has stopped, its hull is blazing everywhere, and there are small explosions from time to time. At the same time, escape pods were being fired outwards from every opening of the ship, but the pursuing aircraft, after destroying the ship, did not show any interest in these escape pods, and instead directly shifted their target and chased after another warship that appeared to be badly damaged. In this case, it is simply impossible for a warship to stop and rescue those escape pods, and whether the people in the escape pods can survive or not may only depend on luck.

However, then, when all the warships are huddled together, it will be difficult for the aircraft of both sides to find a chance, and the dense close-fire force will hardly let go of even a fly. After trying to attack a few times, seeing that there was really no opportunity, the aircraft of both sides gave up the attack almost simultaneously and began to turn around. In this pursuit of the aircraft, the fleets of both sides lost a total of seven warships, which is already a very good result for the aircraft. In the process of returning home, the aircraft of the two sides really fought unintentionally, even if it was a rendezvous on the way, they passed by in a hurry like two strangers.

The battle has come to an end for the time being. The fleets of both sides can be regarded as both defeated, and the original fleet of more than 100 ships is now almost half left, and they are all wounded and disabled, and there is almost no one in ten aircraft, which looks very miserable. Next, Zhou Xin handed over the next observation work to the probe above the planet, and no longer continued to pay attention to the process of the return of the two fleets.

Finally, glancing at the broken fleet on the screen, Zhou Xin sighed slightly: "I really didn't expect that the battle in space would be like this, it was really much more tragic than the battle on the ground." ”

Dart nodded, "Indeed, this is too different from what I imagined in space warfare, I originally thought that it would only be the loss of some aircraft, but I didn't expect that even the loss of warships would be so serious." ”

"That's probably because of the close-quarters combat later." Zhou Xin thought for a while and replied, "In the past, when the warships of the two sides were shooting at a long distance, they didn't suffer much losses, but why did they choose this kind of lose-lose play?" Hasn't this civilization experienced space wars before? At the end, his tone became confused.

"I don't think it's like the two of them should have deliberately put the fight in this situation." Dart thought back to the battle footage he had seen before, "Judging from the fact that the two sides were able to quickly find fighters almost simultaneously in the previous battle, it should not be the first time they have experienced a space war, and in this regard, they should have more experience than everyone here." ”

"But I didn't expect that in the end, neither side took advantage." Spred also sighed, "I'm curious now, can both of them afford such a heavy loss?" Of the hundred or so warships, almost half of them remained, and of these remaining ships, not a single one was intact. The construction of new warships, the repair of old ones, plus the next post-war pension work, what exactly are they going to do? ”

"That's not something we can care about." Dart spread his hands, "I would like to know how the next battle between the two sides wants to go on after such a fierce battle." This should be regarded as the first official battle between the two sides, it stands to reason that the two sides should not show all the hole cards, and should always leave some backhand. After a pause, he continued, "For example, the previous Bird's Nest fleet, I always felt that this fleet was exposed too early, and after being known by the other party, it could only be used as an ordinary fleet. ”

"Then you mean that there is a good chance that there will be another similar conventional fleet on both sides?" Zhou Xin asked.

"Maybe it's the fleet, or maybe it's something else on the same level as the fleet." Dart shook his head, "I don't know, of course, maybe both sides want to win with one blow, and maybe they can use all their hole cards in this battle." ”

"This shouldn't be possible." Zhou Xin reminded, "Don't forget that the disc-shaped battleship of the Northern Fleet has not been used yet. ”

Dart nodded, "I know, so I always felt that the battle between the two of them had just begun, and there was still a great possibility that the battle would continue in the future." ”

Because everyone in the command module had seen a war in space for the first time, and it was the first time they had seen such a large-scale battle. So, everyone reviewed the battle itself with great interest, and Dart even asked Atlas for a copy of the footage recorded by the probe, saying that he wanted to take it back and study it carefully, and before they knew it, nearly an hour had passed before everyone ended the discussion unsatisfied.

Seeing that everyone had ended their discussion, Atlas asked, "Brother Captain, I just found another very interesting piece of information in the memory found in the wreckage of the fleet, ......would you like to hear about it?" ”
