Chapter 273: Burning! I
In the starry sky at the edge of the Ifrit Nebula, the destroyer Raider stopped pursuing the Dream Lover, and it anchored, ready to concentrate on dealing with the fleet of the Ifrit Ranger Regiment flying around the hull like wild bees, and the other three destroyers that were still fighting each other flew farther and farther, so that the pressure on the White Widow Vera was greatly reduced in an instant.
Although the crash crisis of the Dream Lover was temporarily lifted, the situation on the battlefield was still not optimistic, and the moment he found that one of the enemy's most powerful destroyers was slowing down and anchored, Zorro's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered all the Lucius Ranger fleets surrounding the destroyer to retreat immediately, and at the same time urgently ordered the Nebula Brave Fleet and the Broadblade Fleet to immediately converge in the direction of Zorro's flagship!
Although Zorro's order was issued in a very timely manner, the ships of the Little Ranger Regiment's fleet were destroyed in an instant by the fierce and overwhelming fire that the Raiders suddenly fired in all directions! So far, the brigade-level fleet of the Ifrit Ranger Regiment has damaged a total of 155 small and medium-sized starships, and the real loss is more than half!
"All ships, keep a distance of 30km from the enemy ships and surround the Raiders!" Zorro flattened his mechanical palm and said abruptly: "We can't let it attack the Dream Lover anymore, once the Dream Lover crashes, we will lose this war!" ”
In the starry sky, a magical scene appeared, more than 150 starships of the Ifrit Ranger Regiment surrounded the Raiders, and all the pilots were accurately controlling their starships, or forward, or backward, or panning, maintaining a distance of 30km from the enemy destroyer.
Just when the encirclement formation of Zorro's fleet was about to be completed, the multiple missile silos on the upper hull of the destroyer Raider suddenly launched 12 standard low-impulse medium-sized homing missiles, and their effective flight range was 120km! The explosive power design is specially designed to deal with a starship of the destroyer's level!
In other words, once any small and medium-sized starship is hit, there is no damage, and there is no way to dodge, it will definitely end up with a shipwreck!
"Locked on ships, pay attention to evasion! Repeat, be locked on each ship and evade it immediately!! Zorro was shocked and repeated the latest order twice in a row, because he knew that the 12 medium missiles were all aimed at the flagships of the regimental commander and squadron commander under his subordinates! One of them is even aimed at himself!
All the surviving commanders of the Ifrit Ranger Regiment above the squadron level were locked by the 12 medium missiles in an instant, except for the supreme commander of the fleet, Zorro, who shouted a word of attention to evade, no commander issued an effective order in a short period of time, and the entire Ifrit Ranger Regiment fell into a state of hard stun like being struck by lightning at that moment!
This is the Raider's fierce offensive against the Ifrit Rangers! Its purpose is clear - to destroy the command structure of the Zorro fleet in one fell swoop and eliminate all commanders above the squadron level! The corners of Atack's mouth curled into a smug smile, the credit for the total annihilation of the officer corps of the Ifrit Ranger Regiment, he is bound to win!
But Atack didn't laugh for long, and the next second, his smile froze.
Because he found that the fleet of the Ifrit Ranger Regiment, after a short period of hard stun, actually moved quickly!
This kind of endangered emergency response was originally the instinct of living creatures, but I didn't expect it to be staged in a fleet! It is not due to top-down commands at work, but rather resembles a spontaneous self-protection mechanism - almost all of the wing-level commanders' flagships are swarming at the flagships of the commanders who are locked by medium missiles!
The captain of Lucius's Lonnie United is one of them, and after a terrible battle, his team is left with only himself and a 18-year-old Chainis teenager.
"When I die, you'll be the next Wing Captain!" Captain Lonnie said his last words to the young man: "Now I order you to immediately break away from the formation and return to the Aurelia Star Dock, to leave a seed for the Little Ranger Regiment-3rd Squadron-5th Wing!" ”
"Sir, if you want to withdraw, I won't withdraw!" Captain Lonnie's last remaining wingman sent back a virtual image of the Chainey teenager with red eyes.
Captain Lonnie bared his white teeth and said with a smile: "I have to save the life of Chief Lucas... Everyone, you must avenge Daddy Ibi! Long live the Aurelia Pirates! Long live the red faction! ”
"Sir, come back, let me go !!" The young man screamed with red eyes, but it was too late.
Wing Lonnie's starship, under precise control, along with several other wing flagships, blocked the front of Lucius's flagship, blocking the path of medium missiles.
Then, these wing commanders use their own ships to actively collide with medium missiles from far and near.
The 12 medium-sized missiles were indeed "hooked", and the accuracy of this missile was not enough, and it could not accurately identify obstacles and targets, and it would immediately detonate when it encountered extremely close obstacles, resulting in a violent explosion.
One after another, the wing-class flagships exploded, but the flagships of Lucius and other commanders were intact, Lucius looked out of the porthole in a daze, burning violently, but the wreckage of the starship was getting farther and farther away, trembling all over, and in the wreckage of each starship, there was a self-sacrificing undead.
"Sir, Captain Lonnie of the 3rd Squadron and 5th Wing, he saved us by exchanging his life for his life..."Lucius's adjutant tone was pathetic.
… Not only Lucius, including Zorro, the 12 locked commander's flagships were spontaneously saved by the wing captains of each regiment at the cost of their own lives, almost all the small starships set off at the same time to intercept the way of the amators, but there were fast and slow, 12 medium missiles, failed to destroy the officer corps of the Ifrit Ranger Regiment, but let 9 self-sacrificing wing captains and 3 brave and selfless pilots stay in this starry sky forever.
Inside the bridge of the destroyer Raiders, Atack's eyes were about to turn red, what kind of team is this Tuoma??! No wonder Lord Leorik wants to annihilate this fleet with all his might, it's terrible, give this fleet another one to two years, when they have a stronger ship type and a larger fleet size, they will become the most unlikely fleet to be defeated in this nebula!
With less than 200 small and medium-sized starships, a small fleet of two regiments at best, it has such a terrifying cohesion, and Zorro's subordinates are willing to die? Atak felt a chill rising from his spine, this big man who was used to seeing life and death was really shocked by the performance of his opponent today.
In the bottom of his heart, awe and admiration actually rose!
Driven by such emotion, Atak said to his entourage, "Please connect to the Magic Alarm Hound Patrol Aircraft." ”
The request for a communication connection was granted, and Zorro and Atak looked at each other, but neither of them was in a hurry to speak.
It was a battlefield of life and death, and Zorro didn't know what kind of tirade his rival was going to make, but Atak was thinking about how he should express his respect for his opponent.
After a long time, it was Artak who spoke first: "Friend, the team is well led, I deeply admire... However, this has strengthened my determination to annihilate you in this battle! ”
“… Let the horses come! Zorro was so grieved and indignant at the death of 12 heroic drivers that he gritted his teeth and roared.
Atak said with a solemn expression: "It seems that you are a very sympathetic commander of your subordinates, otherwise you would not be so angry, my admiration for you is even deeper!" Zorro. Smith, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, you Zorro's name, I, Atack, admit it! I'm going to strike! ”
"I said, let the horses come!!" Zorro roared loudly.
The two of them turned off the communication connection in unison, and Atak roared and ordered his subordinates to launch missiles again, and turned on the enhanced propulsion array, launching a short impact on the small and medium-sized starships around him!
And Zorro also immediately contacted the three regimental commanders, and shouted in a voice that was like a broken gong: "The whole ship is scattered, immediately evade!!" ”
Zorro's fleet is no match for the Guillotine-class destroyer of the Raiders, and that nimble destroyer is impacting, dispersing, and disintegrating the only remaining hundred or so small and medium-sized starships in this fleet.
Zorro's eyes were blood-red, Atak no longer deliberately attacked his officer corps, but instead killed his subordinates, the thinking of the generals of the Dragon Star Pirate Corps has changed, before he, like his leader Leorik, thought that if the officer corps was destroyed, the fleet would lose all its combat power, but Atak's personal experience told him that this was not the case.
"Only by completely destroying all the starships of this fleet can it truly disintegrate the Ifrit Rangers! Don't let go of each one! That's what Attak really thinks at this point.
Zorro's heart is dripping blood, the Little Ranger Regiment, the Nebula Brave Regiment, the Great Blade Regiment, the children of each squadron, each wing, almost every pilot's name, Zorro remembers! During training, he befriended each of the pilots, teaching them the art of killing enemies on the battlefield, the discipline of unity, and the "spirit of the ranger."
Now, he regrets his strictness in the bottom of his heart, if this fleet is a little loose and the execution is a little worse, now these children will at least break up and flee, and there is still a chance to live!!
Zorro could no longer bear such losses and sacrifices, and in a trembling voice, he gave the final order to the three regimental commanders: "The fleets... Prepare to retreat..."
Lucius and the other three regimental commanders were all indignant, and once they retreated, they would be defeated by Atack's destroyers.
