Chapter 178 Lost
Phoenix-class space assault ship with a length of 160 meters and a width of 35 meters. It has three triple 420 mm induced beam guns {two in the front, one in the rear}, 100 sets of heavy multi-functional missile launchers {modular configuration, 70 sets on the front deck, 50 sets on the rear deck}, 20 sets of 55 mm fully automatic magnetic rail close-in defense guns {4 in the bow, 8 around the base of the command platform, 8 hangars and flying wings on both sides}, 150 mm induction missile launchers 30 tubes {vertically side-by-side on both sides of the spacecraft, 15 tubes on the left and right} and many other cutting-edge weapon systems. It also has two large hangars that can accommodate the launch of 48 Black Dragon Universe Transformation Fighters.
Its energy defense shield strength of up to 50,000 degrees, the maximum combat speed of 4,000 meters per second provided by six high-thrust main engine units powered by Tiberium ore, and the new tactical radar, a full set of command systems and various auxiliary devices installed inside the spacecraft have further improved its already excellent comprehensive combat performance!
Originally, I may have been a bit of a fool to introduce these things, but if you don't have a very intuitive understanding of this new type of warship, I'm afraid you will think that with only 24 small ships of less than 100,000 tons, you can completely annihilate the huge fleet of nearly 100 warships of various types and thousands of fighters that the Sijin people have left.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the fleet to complete the assembly formation. According to the response of our shipborne long-range radar, at the current cruising speed, it is expected to enter the range of our firepower in 5 minutes! ”
"Excellent! Ships continue to maintain their current combat speed, and continue to maintain the Chameleon's stealth system, concentrating the shield's energy directly ahead. Inform all carrier-based aviation fleets to complete preparations for departure as soon as possible. Except for the 1st to 16th squadrons, which were responsible for the air defense of the fleet area, the rest of the units formed an attack formation, and when it was confirmed that the goods had been successfully delivered to the target area, the fleet reached the best attack position, and immediately launched an attack on the remnants of the Sijins! You must remember that you are all elite warriors who have gone through countless bloody battles to get to where you are today, and you must not be killed by those disgusting-looking alien creatures so easily! ”
Not long after the words of Colonel Jill, the commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Fleet, disappeared in a geometric frenzy as the red dots of the huge Sijin fleet represented on the radar screen disappeared in a geometric frenzy, and finally the cargo sent from the Tiangong space station was safely delivered to the intended location. And before we poor Sijin people even understood what was going on, they were torn apart by these inexplicable artificial black holes and lost most of their bones.
Face this weird attack that is completely impossible to resist! Even if the energy shield defense of those alien ships is outrageous, the structural strength of the hull itself is strong, and the engine thrust is strong, as long as it is within the killing range of this terrible weapon, it will inevitably be difficult to escape the tragic fate of being swallowed up by the backlog and torn into countless pieces. And taking advantage of the fact that the Sijin fleet was in chaos due to the attack and had no time to take care of other good things, it was naturally impossible for Jill to let go of such a god-given opportunity. Therefore, before the entire fleet has entered the optimal attack position, an operational order for a full-scale sortie was issued in advance. Of course, this kind of change of fortune may seem quite reckless in the eyes of his subordinates, but in fact, the fleeting fighters on the battlefield always need to take huge risks to achieve the final victory with a small number of troops!
The real confrontation between the two sides officially began from the moment the human fleet disarmed the stealth system in order to release the carrier-based aircraft. It's just that it seems that the chaos caused by the previous fatal blow has caused the opponent's command system to suffer a fatal blow that is difficult to recover. As a result, in the case of absolute superiority in troops, the remnants of the Sijin fleet not only did not organize any decent counterattack after being hit by several firepower, but even fought separately, and were gradually divided and surrounded by the human fleet with less than one-sixth of its strength until it was hanged to death.
In the chaotic space battlefield, the fighters of the two sides chasing each other use their own skills to fight to the death. An air-to-air missile launched by a transformation fighter accurately hit the alien fighter that was rapidly dodging with a long blue trail, although after the huge explosion, the dazzling fire failed to penetrate the opponent's force field shield and only flipped several times due to the huge inertia, but with the uninterrupted second missile one after another, it finally turned into a purple fireball when it was unavoidable.
Not to be outdone, the other alien saucer fighters with superior numbers gathered together, using the plasma automatic cannon they were equipped with to carry out a powerful counterattack, but due to the huge gap in the technological performance of the two sides, these purple glowing energies could not cause any trouble to this kind of cross-era fighter that Li Feng had high hopes for. Even in the most extreme cases, more than a dozen of them are fighting around one plane, and they can't convert back and forth in three modes, and they can bargain for any bargain on a deformed fighter with functions such as stealth, extreme triple speed of sound, and fully automatic locking of fire control radar. In the process of close-range combat, it was bombarded into a pile of scum by the laser cannons, machine guns and close-range scattering missiles it was equipped with.
Unparalleled maneuverability, far more than several protection-level energy shield devices, plus near-perfect handling by those experienced pilots. Let these alien fighters, who have long lost their unified command and have only one tendon in their brains, become the best choice for each fighter squadron to refresh their records! After all, compared to competing with the same kind of people who are not very good at fighting, the accidents and risks that may be encountered by actively provoking large targets are much greater!
The one-sided air and death contest between the cosmic black dragon transformation fighter and the alien fighter can be said to have almost become a one-sided one-sided slaughter from the beginning of the war. But the squadrons with large anti-ship missiles under their bellies for assault missions were in a far cry from the situation of their comrades who were responsible for protecting their ships and concentrating on air combat. It is necessary to fight with the alien fighters that come to intercept it, and to ensure the completion of the bomb delivery mission while avoiding being blown to pieces on the muzzle of the alien large battleship. This kind of dual-purpose combat mode really makes these ace elites who have never experienced fighting aliens in space panic. The completely unfamiliar enemy and battlefield environment have become a fatal stumbling block that hinders the normal use of its strength. In the end, this fierce exchange of fire that lasted less than half an hour, and more than two-thirds of the losses were damaged by intensive fire due to panic and strayed into the range of the exchange of fire between the warships of both sides!
After talking about the outstanding performance of the transformation fighter in the first battle between humans and aliens. Let's take a look at the brilliant results achieved on the space battlefield by the new assault ships that cost a lot of money and were born for space warfare.
Throughout the battle, the battle went exceptionally smoothly due to the aliens' separate battles! But in the end, if it weren't for the fact that the Sijin fleet was in geosynchronous orbit at the moment, it was just a bunch of broken marionettes who adhered to the rules of counter-combat and rigidly carried out the orders and were responsible for the final work behind the palace. I'm afraid that this battle with such a huge disparity in numbers may not be so easy and enjoyable, after all, if those large transport ships measured in kilometers do not enter the atmosphere, the countless stocks in them are not only 24 100-meter warships can completely contend with!
The energy shield that far exceeds the strength of the alien battleship force field shield is more than ten times stronger, making it completely able to walk sideways on the battlefield. Even if you are surrounded by ten warships of the same class, you can move freely under the super-saturated bombardment of the long-range Zeus plasma cannon group that is lethal to the transforming fighters. In most cases, a salvo of nine inducing beam cannons can easily penetrate the shield of a large alien warship, and the ensuing 100 anti-ship missiles with high-explosive warheads can completely blow the opponent into a pile of space junk that looks like it was original.
Absolutely! In this world, there is no such thing as an invulnerable and invincible weapon, and any advanced weapon, no matter how obvious its technological superiority, will inevitably have its fatal weakness. Phoenix-class cosmic assault ships that cannot be exempt from the restrictions of the rules are naturally not exempt, after all, strong protection always requires the support of huge energy. Perhaps in the face of a large number of plasma cannon swarms, the probability of being hit can be reduced by flashing and moving. But if you encounter the almost endless pain and torture of an alien flying carrier that starts to spit out saucer-shaped fighters outside the attack range, even if the battleship with a tight anti-aircraft fire network does not solve the root cause of the problem, I am afraid that the final outcome will be the same!
"Your Excellency, Commander! The enemy shadow was found on the right side of the ship, and the radar confirmed that the target was a small enemy fighter, the opponent's distance was 9000, the number was 70, and at the current speed of movement, it was expected to encounter in 15 seconds! "Don't panic, everyone! Immediately cover the bridge and set the right side of the missile to fire every 3 seconds to avoid unnecessary repeated attacks. When the alien fighter enters the attack range of the fully automatic magnetic rail close-in defense gun, you don't need to save ammo to fire with all your might! ”
As Jill's orders were carried out one by one, the nearly 100 fighters were hit by nearly four rounds of 60 induced missiles with four times the speed of sound in a short period of less than 15 seconds. Although this level of attack did not completely eliminate the alien fighters that could spray plasma bombs, it did basically kill more than two-thirds of the targets. Then, after entering the range of the fully automatic magnetic rail close-in defense gun, a dense fire network composed of 20 sets of automatic turrets destroyed the volley explosion of these purple saucer-shaped aircraft that posed a certain threat to the protective shield of the battleship.
"Damn! Haven't the attack squadrons dealt with those enemy flying carriers yet? The energy reserves of all the ships, except for us who are in charge of the command in the rear, have basically entered the yellow state! {Yellow state is about 30 percent} If we can't kill those big guys, I'm afraid we'll all be consumed here sooner or later! ”
"Report to the commander, the 16th Squadron to which this ship belongs has sent a message, saying that the combat mission it is responsible for has been basically completed, and the enemy's three large warships and one flying carrier have been completely destroyed, and I request to return to the mothership to rest and replenish ammunition!"
"Very well, let them come back as soon as possible! There is also a notice to the ground crew that the maintenance work must be completed within five minutes, and we must wipe out the remnants of the surrounding forces as soon as possible! ”
"Sir, during the attack mission of the 41st Squadron of the Transfiguration Fighters in the D5 area, due to a mistake in intelligence, it was trapped in several times the enemy's encirclement, and the squadron leader Major Wu asked us to send reinforcements immediately!"
"Well, that's true of the video data from the plane's sensors. Unexpectedly, the total number of enemy troops there was more than three times more than the data of long-range radar scans. Approve! Let the 3rd and 5th squadrons, which are responsible for the task of air defense suppression in the C4 area, come over and help. Anyway, the enemies in that direction are almost dead! Oh yes! One more thing is to tell those American cowboys in the 1st Squadron that if another enemy plane rushes over, they will all roll me back to the ground! ”
"The Qinglong, the flagship of the fourth large expulsion formation responsible for the defense of the C7 area, called and said that its unit was suddenly besieged by at least forty alien large warships and more than five hundred saucer-shaped fighters, and the situation was very critical, and the commander of the formation requested permission to break through and retreat!"
"Reinforcements will arrive soon, so don't take a step back!. Send a message to Lieutenant Colonel Wang that the area he is defending is of great importance to whether or not he can completely encircle and annihilate the enemy's main force. As long as the spaceship is not completely destroyed, even if I use the collision method, I will be able to drag them forward! ”
"Sir, the 18th to 24th squadrons cooperated with the 5th large destroyer formation to complete the A4 area clearance mission, and all six large flying carriers and 21st battleship-class large battleships of the enemy were destroyed. At present, the main force is actively carrying out the latest combat mission to search for and sweep away the remnants of aliens.
"The report is that the 31st to 37th Attack Squadrons, together with the 3rd and 8th Large Destroyer Formations and their escort squadrons, successfully resolved the remnants of the enemy in the B3 area, and destroyed a total of 62 large warships, including 54 battleship-class alien warships and 8 flying carrier-class alien warships.
After completing their combat missions, the 42nd to 45th squadrons are accompanying the 6th and 7th large expulsion formations in a flank outflank outflank, and are expected to reach the designated tactical position in 5 minutes
"Very good, as the first battle, everyone did a pretty good job! But while the overall situation is quite favorable for us! But if we want to win, we need to add a lot of energy! After informing those combat units that still need to clear out the remnants of the enemy, leaving behind a battleship and two squadrons of transformative fighters, the rest of the main forces immediately assemble in the C7 area for the final battle! Hehe, as long as we eat the last big piece of the enemy's living force here, then there will be no suspense about the final victory of this battle!
What did you just whisper? My adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang. What if we descend our alien fleet and kill the rifle? {Look down and look at the time on your watch with your eyes} Hehe, you're ready to put your heart in your stomach! In just a few minutes, those alien invaders who were actively looking for death would be completely evaporated by the huge red pillars of energy light! At that time, as long as we take the initiative to mark the extremely dangerous red areas on the tactical map, everything will be OK! ”
