---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Small dots, display the combat map on the electronic sand table, I want to update it in real time." Ye Kexin stood up from her seat, strode to the side of the electronic sand table, and waved her hand to the lieutenant colonel staff officers who were about to salute her, signaling that they didn't have to be so polite, and then clubbed her hands on the outer frame of the electronic sand table, and a three-dimensional image reduced to 1:20000 was presented on the electronic sand table, and the blue and red red dots on the image were still moving slightly.
"Small dots, marking the routes of the various fleets."
"Got it, Mom." EVA responded, and there was no impatience when Ye Zifeng or Ye Shi ordered her, and then EVA waved her hand, and the routes marked by white dotted lines connected the present of each fleet with the destination they were about to reach. The staff officers immediately discussed around the stereoscopic image, and Ye Kexin knew what he should do.
"Let the Third Fleet on the left stand out from the formation, move in the direction of the 112 course, divert the enemy in front, the First Fleet will make a detour behind the enemy's back, carry out a flanking attack, and the Second and Ninth Fleets will follow behind the First Fleet and continue to advance."
"Tell the Eighth Fleet to move quickly, not to fight the enemy in front of them, and send a squad to drag them."
"Why did the Ninth Fleet stop?"
"It is said that after the battlefield, an escape pod was found and is being salvaged."
"Stop then, leave a squad behind, and the other ships move on."
"Sir, here's a plan change." As soon as Ye Kexin gave an order to the crew, a staff officer on the side handed over a change to the battle plan, and made such a detailed and specific plan in just ten minutes, which really made Ye Kexin look at these staff officers differently. Ye Kexin turned on the tablet and began to flip through it.
"Sir, the Eighth Fleet reports that the 'Mirta' team has been wiped out. The lead ship of the team, the destroyer 'Mirta', the frigate 'Agile', and the frigate 'Tianhe' were silent. ”
"Divide another team and get to the predetermined location on time no matter what." Ye Kexin gritted his teeth.
"But if this continues, the Eighth Fleet will be completely annihilated." A staff officer said.
"So what's the solution, they're isolated. I have to make sure that a reorganized fleet can enter the battlefield on time. Ye Kexin didn't look at each other at the staff officers, turned his head to look at the three-dimensional image in front of him, and meditated.
"It's simple, leave the entire Eighth Fleet behind to stop the enemy." The staff officer pointed to the area at the top of the stereoscopic image where the red and blue meet.
"Is that possible?" Ye Kexin was suspicious, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the area pointed by the staff officer.
"No problem, the Eighth Fleet has only a fighting squad left, a total of twenty-eight battleships, including even one battleship and four cruisers, such a firepower configuration according to the words of the Institute, 'they can withstand twice as many enemies as them', not to mention, they are currently facing the same number of enemies as them." The staff officer explained confidently.
"But the Institute has set up an imaginary enemy as a warship in a fleet, and now they are facing pilgrims whose defense technology is a century ahead of ours." You can also smack the frame of the sand table with a hard heart, ", the Ninth Fleet immediately changed its course, the direction of the 101 route was 101, and within ten minutes entered the battlefield from the left side of the Pilgrim Fleet that was engaged with the Eighth and Tenth Fleets. Keep the 10th Fleet moving at full speed, while the 8th Fleet slows down and annihilates the Ninth Fleet with the coming Ninth Fleet. ”
"However, once the warships of the detour troops on the right side are drawn, then even if they arrive at the predetermined position on time, it is not certain that the troops on the right side have the strength to block the troops of the pilgrims from breaking through."
"No problem, the pilgrims will only move forward, and now the main defense force is us." Ye Kexin left the electronic sand table and walked slowly to the observation window.
"It's dangerous there, sir." Naoto Sakurai reminded. But Ye Kexin didn't speak.
In the depths of space, no matter how many pieces of electric light there were, although it sounded like every fleet was at a considerable distance from the "Stalingrad", there was no obstruction, no magnetic field enough to distort the light, and no protective layer of the observation window made of titanium alloy battle plates as thick as 500 millimeters outside the observation window. Although the group of battleships hundreds of kilometers away looked the size of a sesame seed, the shells, bullets, missiles, plasma energy shells fired during the engagement, and the fires generated by the explosion of the battleship hull were particularly clear. But what Ye Kexin cared about the most was not the twelve fleets fighting in the distance, but the twelfth fleet beside him, the pilgrim flagship and a large number of small warships directly in front of him.
The Twelfth Fleet carried out the order to retreat, which caused the Pilgrim ships on the opposite side to keep moving forward. Every word railgun in the Twelfth Fleet roared desperately, and one after another 600-ton sub-iron core shells were fired into the pilgrim fleet ahead.
"We're going to be caught up." Naoto Sakurai reminded.
"Then speed back."
"No, that's the limit speed of the reversing engine." After a few operations on the virtual keyboard, Colonel Raymond responded to Ye Kexin's order.
"Yes." Ye Kexin pondered for a moment, "A little bit." ”
"Yes." EVA appeared solemnly on the three-dimensional projector next to Ye Kexin.
"Prepare a nuclear bomb to eject from the T1 orbit."
"Is that all right, sir?" Naoto Sakurai thought that Ye Kexin would come up with something good, but now he knew that he was overestimating her.
"It's the most effective way to do it." Ye Kexin looked at Naoto Sakurai.
"Then can we try something else, like ・・・・・・" Naoto Sakurai mumbled in a long voice.
"Let's use a nuclear bomb then." Naoto Sakurai said helplessly. I'm not a combat staff officer, Naoto Sakurai muttered to himself.
"Cut~" Raymond and the second mate, the Italian named Augustos, raised their middle fingers at Naoto Sakurai.
"Are you ready?" Ye Kexin ignored the jokes between the crew and turned her head to EVA.
"The nuclear bomb has been unlocked, but it will take a little time to get into the ejection trajectory." EVA was controlling the small operation panel in front of her while answering Ye Kexin's inquiry.
"How long will it take?" Ye Kexin asked again.
"Five minutes, five minutes at most." EVA gritted her teeth and reported her speed limit.
"Good." Ye Kexin nodded with satisfaction and turned to the second officer on the side, "Notify the weapon control center and let them launch at full strength." Tell the Twelfth Fleet to hold them up for five minutes, and not to let the Pilgrim warships in front come within three hundred kilometers of us. ”
"Yes, sir." The second mate began to operate on the virtual keyboard in front of him.
"Spot the enemy ship approaching quickly!" At this time, one of the crew members shouted urgently.
"What level?" Ye Kexin asked.
"With a total length of five hundred and twenty-one meters, it belongs to the destroyer class." The crew member responded to Ye Kexin's question.
"Let the Twelfth Fleet send a squad to stop it." Ye Kexin ordered.
"Yes, sir."
The order was given, and not long after, a small group of one destroyer and two frigates rushed out from the right side of the "Stalingrad" and began to attack the destroyer that was rapidly approaching the "Stalingrad". Strings of cannon and anti-aircraft shells sped toward the destroyer, followed by missiles and armor-piercing torpedoes. And the destroyer didn't even react at all, just sailed straight towards the "Stalingrad", and let those extremely lethal live ammunition fall on its energy shield, and the light blue light flickered regardless of it.
"This is the destroyer USS Geraldine, the lead ship of the 'Geraldine' squad. The sniper mission officially begins. "The Twelfth Fleet's sniper squad was reported on the Fleet Channel.
"I see you, just intercept this battleship at a distance of 300 kilometers from the Juben ship." Ye Kexin also responded to the report of the "Geraldine" team through the fleet channel.
"Understood, sir." The captain of the destroyer "Geraldine", the lead ship of the "Geraldine" squad, responded to Ye Kexin's instructions.
"Fire with all your might!" It was the last call that came before the communication channel was turned off.
"It's too abrupt." Naoto Sakurai stood beside Ye Kexin, and Nan Nan muttered to herself.
"What did you say?" Ye Kexin frowned slightly and looked at Naoto Sakurai, "You can see it too?" ”
"Well, it's a little weird." Naoto Sakurai nodded slightly.
"Tell me about it." Ye Kexin twisted his head and continued to look at the four battleships in front of him.
"I just feel that this ship appeared too suddenly, and why did it come straight at us as soon as it appeared, it should know that it can't beat us. And until now he has no intention of attacking us. Naoto Sakurai bowed his head slightly and expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Well, I feel the same way. The lack of fire can be explained by the fact that we did not enter his attack radius, but even if we did enter the attack radius, it was only a suicidal act. Ye Kexin confirmed Naoto Sakurai's guess, this is, the third lieutenant colonel Oliver, who was in charge of scanning the radar, stared closely at the value on the display screen in front of him that made the data image gradually turn red because of the continuous rise, and raised his head suddenly.
"Sir, the detected high-energy plasma aggregation reaction is still fourteen percent away from the explosion threshold."
"What!" Ye Kexin only gritted his teeth, "A small dot predicts the course, and calculates where it will explode according to the current channel." ”
"Got it, it's calculating." EVA's fingers quickly clicked on the virtual keyboard in front of him, but the calculation result appeared, "I displayed the calculation result on the electronic sandbox." ”
"Got it." Ye Kexin immediately turned around and walked to the electronic sand table, looking at the three-dimensional image that was partially magnified. A purple battleship quickly approached the huge battleship with blue lines, and the small battleship was in front of the huge battleship like a ping-pong ball in front of a cannonball. A striking red dotted line stretched out from the bow of the purple battleship, connecting straight to the front of the blue battleship and disappearing, the vanishing point was marked by a red dot, and the red dot was the location of the dark purple battleship's self-detonation.
"Tell the 'Geraldine' team that the mission has changed to annihilation. Kill him before he reaches the self-detonation threshold. Ye Kexin stared closely at the four warships that were approaching in the distance.
"The order has been given, sir." Second mate Augustos reported as he stared at the monitor in front of him.
As soon as the order was given, the electromagnetic railguns arranged in the bow of the three battleships immediately lit up, and the three ferrous core shells weighing 600 tons flew towards the self-detonating ship at one-tenth of the speed of light, penetrating the ship almost instantly. Although it was only intercepted before and the electromagnetic railgun was not used, the armor-piercing torpedo, a weapon known as the shield killer, still tore the energy shield of the self-detonating ship, so the electromagnetic railgun would easily penetrate the self-detonating ship.
"The hull was damaged by 46 percent, the thrusters remained intact, the high-energy plasma was still accumulating, and it was only 8 percent away from the critical value." Three loud reports.
"There are still 312 kilometers to the self-detonation site." Second Officer reports.
Bad news kept coming, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Ye Kexin's forehead. Ye Kexin raised his hand to wipe it off: "Be a little bit, are you ready for the nuclear bomb?" ”
"It's ready to launch." EVA answered Ye Kexin's question.
"Launch now."
"No, that ship is blocking the path of the nuclear bomb." The third officer reported in a timely manner.
"What are the 'Geraldine' teams doing!" Ye Kexin shouted.
"A second wave of armor-piercing torpedoes and missiles has been launched, and this wave will destroy that ship."
"Rapid approach of an unidentified object was detected, and there was a plasma aggregation reaction. It is a Pilgrim warship, 521 meters long, and is of the same class as a self-detonating ship. ”
"Is it also a self-exploding ship?" Ye Kexin turned to look at the third officer, and a faint despair was born in her heart.
"From time to time, someone is driving." The three pairs stared at the monitor in front of them.
"What are they going to do?" Ye Kexin asked.
It was found that the plasma cannon had a focused energy reaction, and the gathering energy was very fast. Plasma weapons were fired. The third deputy did not directly answer Ye Kexin's question.
Ye Kexin turned around sharply, and clusters of green plasma energy cannonballs flew out from the top of the dark purple battleship that came later.
"What are they aiming for?" Green plasma shells flew towards an empty space between Geraldine's team and the self-detonating ship.
No one answered Ye Kexin, a fire lit up outside the window, and the plasma shells exploded the armor-piercing torpedoes and missiles flying towards the self-detonating ship.
"Eleven percent of the ammunition remaining in the second wave of attack is no longer enough to pose a threat to the self-detonating ship."
"Damn." Ye Kexin slapped the heavy observation window hard, making a snapping sound, as if slapping on a wall.
"Tell the 'Geraldine' team to split a ship to attack the ship that comes after it, and prepare for a third wave of attacks. What long-range weapons were there on the Stalingrad'? ”
"Yes, the beam cannon for experiments, but that weapon hasn't been formed yet, I don't know if it can be fired with an integrated beam of energy."
"How do you know if you don't try. Ready for launch. ”
"Yes, sir. Switched to EVA to take over, the test is unlocked with a beam cannon. ”
"It's taken over, it's being recharged, it's two percent complete." EVA looked at the slowly advancing progress bar on the shrunken control panel in front of him, "The barrel of the gun is sticking out of the hull, the energy core is starting to accelerate, capacitor groups 1 to 8 are operating normally, the accelerator is operating normally, and the aggregation device is being debugged." ”
An armor plate slowly slid upward, and the dark square barrel inside slowly stretched out, and white light loomed in the depths of the barrel.
"The first debugging failed, and the second debugging was carried out. Twenty percent of the charge is complete. ”
EVA kept reporting on the situation, and the battle going on outside was still not over.
"The right side of the 'Watt' frigate in the 'Geraldine' squad was slightly damaged, and a 24-pack 'Nemesis' missile launcher was destroyed."
"The third wave of attacks began. Electromagnetic railgun fire. Hit the target and still didn't deal devastating damage. ”
"The bow of the 'Geraldine' was destroyed, and the electromagnetic railgun was hit."
Ye Kexin quietly listened to the constant bad news, the anxiety that had been shown outside before had been completely restrained, and she also knew that once the commander appeared at a loss, the crew would collapse. Although there was still endless anxiety in his heart, his face showed the same calmness as ever.
"The second commissioning was successful, and one launch could be carried out, and the charge was 80% complete. Gather up and start working. Clustered up and functioning normally. Charge complete. EVA finally reported some good news, "Mom, the beam cannon is ready to fire at any time." ”
"Take the self-exploding ship as a priority target, aim, launch."
"Aiming has been carried out and the crosshair is being calibrated. Calibrations are complete. Locked. Ready for launch. EVA clicked the firing contact, "Beam cannon, fire." ”
Inside the barrel, a flash of white lightning flashed, and a white beam of energy flew out of the barrel in an instant, hitting the self-detonating ship almost in a millionth of a second. Wear it through. The white beam then vanished into the vastness of space.
