Chapter 2: The Night of Steel and Fire (Part 1).
This is the most outrageous scene that Sergeant Jim has seen since he became a Night Stalker pilot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven if the dense barrage before was always a piece of cake for Jim, it was easy to pass, but a missile with explosive power that could sink a destroyer did not leave even a trace of scorch on this battleship! It's incredible.
"Lieutenant, something is wrong. I'd like to take another look. Jim looked ahead and asked the lieutenant who was piloting the main engine over the intercom.
"Request rejected, return immediately!" The lieutenant's stern reprimand came over the walkie-talkie, but the conversation on the walkie-talkie was recorded, so the lieutenant didn't say much.
Jim's reluctance and curiosity immediately took over his mind, and his trust in his technology immediately rose to an unprecedented level. Ignoring the lieutenant's order, the thruster control lever was pushed all the way to the head, and the microreactor indicator on the electronic instrument cluster immediately jumped to the red zone representing the overload, and the pilot's gravity indicator in the cabin was also brought to 3.0G, and the "Night Owl" fighter reached 500 meters per second in two seconds - this is the maximum speed of the "Night Owl" fighter.
The powerful acceleration pressed Jim and the rear co-pilot heavily onto the shock-absorbing seat, and the scene in front of him became slightly blurred, which is a blackout phenomenon that the driver has specifically marked in the driving precautions.
"Damn, I can't see clearly!" Jim cursed, but showed no signs of slowing down.
"Jim, what did the lieutenant ask you were doing?" The co-pilot shouted to Jim, "Let's go back, the non-commissioned officer is guilty of disobeying orders on the battlefield!" ”
"him!" Jim also yelled, "SOB!"
"You concentrate on driving, I'll control the weapon!" The co-pilot is not a good stubble, and when he saw that Jim did not mean to return, he immediately changed his attitude, and he felt like he was living and dying together.
"Okay! Look at me! Jim shouted as he dodged a beam.
As he got closer, a huge dark purple battleship appeared in Jim's observation window, and while he sighed, Jim did not forget to manipulate the joystick with precision, dodging the beam of the fixed defensive weapon.
"With the cannon, I'm getting closer!" Jim flipped two switches on the switch panel overhead, and the Night Stalker's close-quarters combat control aileron and pilot extended from the thirty-millimeter cannon below at the same time, and at that moment, several black shadows quickly swept out of the dark purple battleship.
"What's that?"
"The radar doesn't show it!"
"Impossible, the naked eye has seen it!"
"It could be a high-performance paint that absorbs radio waves, no matter what, you try to control the posture as much as possible, I have a camera to aim!" The co-pilot clicked the "Switch Controller" button on the control panel in front of him, and a large amount of aiming information immediately appeared on the panel, with a blue hollow circle in the middle.
"I'm ready!"
"It's close, fire!"
At the same time as Jim shouted to open fire, the black shadow that flew straight at him also fired a pink energy projectile, which hit the "Night Stalker" fighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Sit tight, dodge at high speed!" Jim slammed the rudder to the left, and the thrusters on the control ailerons were immediately deflected, and the entire "Night Stalker" fighter instantly flipped to the left 90 degrees, and then shifted a distance of more than ten meters.
"It's dangerous." Jim showed a sigh before shouting, "Fight back!" ”
"You still need to say it!" The co-pilot quickly manipulated the joystick to aim, and then clicked the red fire button.
The 30-millimeter rapid-fire gun, developed by the Institute's Airborne Equipment Department, pushes the 500-gram high-explosive armor-piercing warhead into the vector direction at a rate of 1,000 rounds per minute, and flies towards the target at a speed sufficient to exceed that of a supersonic fighter.
"Hit the target!" The co-pilot, who had been observing the surveillance, saw a flash of fire from the explosion of the EIDS and immediately shouted.
"Excellent! Go on! After hearing the co-pilot's shout, Jim's emotions were also driven to an extremely high level, and the control of the "Night Stalker" fighter was getting closer and closer to the limit. Jim no longer estimated the pilot's code of conduct that he had already memorized, as if he was piloting the Night Owl fighter at this time, and he was already omnipotent.
The rapid-fire cannon under the cockpit was constantly sprayed with tongues of fire, and under the control of the skilled co-pilot and the close cooperation of Jim, one by one high-explosive armor-piercing shells accurately hit the target and then exploded, and those enemy interceptors that could be directly hit exploded one after another, and the number of fighters that had previously exceeded ten after a short period of air combat was only two.
"Alright, Jim. Our position was too far ahead. And there are still three minutes to go until the evacuation deadline. Looking at the two enemy planes that were moving away quickly, the co-pilot woke up from the excitement just now, looked at the number table and reminded Jim, "And the reactor is about to cool down, and we don't have much fuel." ”
"Got it, let's go back." Although Jim was a little unwilling, he still put away the control ailerons, turned the fuselage, and while thinking about the future report, he slowed down the fighter and consumed too much fuel.
"What's that?"
"Where? Look at the radar. ”
"There is no display, only direct observation with the naked eye."
"Basic confirmation is a small target, ignore it."
"Wait a minute, he's responding."
"What?"
A new dark shadow appears in the Night Stalker's observation porthole, and Jim and the co-pilot begin to pay close attention to the unidentified object. This non-existent object blocked the "Night Owl" fighter's return route.
"It's so annoying, it's a big deal!" Jim cursed and set about modifying the course. However, halfway through the course modification operation, the alarm beep in the cockpit began to sound.
"Hit the alarm, we are on the trajectory of his attack! There is a high-energy plasma aggregation reaction, and he is going to attack us! ”
"Damn it!" Jim scolded loudly, and at the same time pulled the control stick hard, the main engine of the "Night Owl" fighter immediately swung, and the nose of the "Night Owl" fighter raised to make a big loop action, turned over and flew backwards.
"Time is running out! And I can't dodge his attacks! ”
Jim understands very well how this evacuation deadline is customized, this deadline has arrived, the fleet will enter the minefield that has been arranged, once the aviation thunder satellite begins to attack, to the "Night Owl" fighter, such a aircraft with millimeter armor is absolutely impossible, you know, such an aviation thunderstorm weighing three tons can blow up Pearl Harbor in one fell swoop!
"It's over!" The co-pilot shouted in despair.
"It's not over! We still have a chance! Jim gritted his teeth and clicked the button that stretched out the ailerons as he increased the fighter's speed to the extreme, "Fasten your seatbelts, I'm going to rush into their ship!" ”
"What! You are crazy? The co-pilot stared at the back of Jim's head in some horror, but Jim didn't react at all, his eyes were fixed on the five layers of airtight high-silica glass directly in front of the cockpit, observing the pattern of enemy fighters entering and leaving.
Years of mathematical calculations, combined with a tight electronic clock inside the cockpit, Jim quickly mastered the rules of the enemy's planes.
-- In a shift of 5 minutes and 28 seconds, five planes take off and three land at a time, and as long as the last one has a chance to rush into the battleship before entering the field.
Jim immediately made a plan in his heart, such a simple plan would definitely be criticized as useless in front of those high-achieving students in the staff, but in the current situation, it is already Jim's limit to be able to make such a plan.
"Listen up! As soon as we aim at the last chance of the fleet, we have a chance to get inside their ships! Don't shake your hands! ”
"I, as much as I can." The co-pilot swallowed and re-grasped the lever of the rapid-fire gun. The two flew towards each other's largest warship in the Night Stalker.
"The Night Owl fighter has been recovered, twenty-four have been destroyed, four are missing, and an escape pod has been received, but the pilot has been confirmed dead. The opposing fleet has entered a minefield. The automatic calibration program of the aviation mine blaster satellite has been entered and is ready to attack. The colonel's adjutant held a report and reported to Ye Zifeng, who was still looking at the electronic sand table.
"yes, I see. Wait until twenty percent of the opposing fleet is in the minefield, and the first wave begins. ”
"Twenty percent of the minefields are expected to be in the minefield, and there are still five, four, three, two, one. Entered, done. ”
"The first wave detonates, begins."
Ye Zifeng gave an order, and the order was instantly transmitted to the frigate that controlled the aviation thunder satellite, and the first wave of one hundred and twenty-eight aviation thunder satellites began to attack at the same time, each satellite carried forty-eight aviation thunderstorms, and quickly exited the warehouse at a speed of one per second, and quickly rotated close to the opponent's huge dark purple warship.
"Touched!"
"Turn the picture to the main monitor."
It has been zoomed in to the electronic sand table that can show the basic outline of the opponent's battleship, and red circles flash on the outline of the battleship and disappear - that shows the explosion point of the aviation thunderstorm on the battleship.
On the big screen, the battlefield was barely illuminated by the light that had come only a few hours before the sun came out, but at this time, the white flames from the explosion of high explosives in the aviation thunderstorm overwhelmed the sun's light in an instant. But soon, the smoke and fire of the explosion dissipated, the surface was shattered, and the battleship, full of huge craters that had come out again, still seemed to be moving deeper into the minefield.
"It doesn't seem to be very effective to weaken the energy shield with fighter jets."
"The damage report came out, all the satellites located in the first blast were destroyed, and the damage rate of the 78 destroyer-class warships that entered the minefield was 2.7 percent, one was sunk, one was seriously damaged, and five were slightly damaged. The remaining energy shield of the rest of the ships averaged forty-six percent. ”
Ye Zifeng listened carefully to the lieutenant's report and pondered quietly.
"Advance the second wave of blasting, and detonate as soon as all the damaged battleships enter the second minefield."
"But in this case, isn't it a bit of a rush for quick success? Even if these seventy-eight warships were completely destroyed, it would only be one-tenth of the opponent's fleet. ”
Ye Zifeng turned to the colonel's adjutant who gave him advice: "You speak Chinese fluently now, and you can use idioms like quick success, but the dictionary explanation of quick success and quick profit is 'only care about immediate interests'." I want you to understand that the decisions I make are based on the big picture. ”
"Yes, sir." The colonel's adjutant looked ashamed, and while he was determined to memorize the idiom dictionary again, he retreated to his place.
"EVA has updated the calculations and expects to enter the minefield in ten seconds. Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Full entry! ”
"The second wave detonates, begin!"
The second minefield is used to annihilate the first 10% of the enemy ships damaged before, and the energy shield of the enemy ships that entered the minefield after is exhausted, but at this time, the second type of area has given up the function of the energy shield of the enemy ships that enter the minefield later, and the number of aviation thunderstorms twice as many as the first minefield is completely concentrated on the function of annihilating the first wave of damaged enemy ships, and its power can be imagined.
Dense as locust-like aviation thunderstorms flew quickly towards the already tattered enemy warships, and the battleships that had lost their shields were vulnerable to a single blow, with an average of 157 aviation thunderstorms to take care of, accounting for 83.3 percent of the total weight of aviation thunderstorms, and generating more than 200,000 kilojoules of energy in the explosion, and entering thousands of fragments with an average of 0.5 square meters into the dark purple armor made of unknown metal at a speed of 400 miles per hour. Easily tearing one breach after another of no less than five meters on the battleship, a large amount of oxygen leaked out, and with it the flames of the explosion. It stands to reason that it cannot be burned in a vacuum, but such a violent explosion will still produce a lot of flames, and when the flame encounters the leaked oxygen, it is like adding fuel to the fire, immediately wrapping the surface of the battleship and drilling into the interior of the battleship through the huge breach.
The all-round attack was not limited to the bow of the ship, and the battleship, which was hundreds of meters long, was flooded with such a situation all over the body. It would be nice to say that it only exploded in other parts of the battleship, but once an explosion occurred around the thrusters, the situation was unimaginable. The unknown thrusters that fill the entire spiked stern are extremely explosive, and such a design is considered by the Admiralty to be "holding a rope and having someone hang you". But if there are such favorable conditions and do not apply, that is a fool, obviously Ye Zifeng is not such a fool, among the 157 aviation thunderstorms, only three or four exploded in the bow, and the remaining 153 were all concentrated in the stern of the ship. Violent explosions destroyed enemy ships one after another, and when a large number of blue-purple flames engulfed the battleship, the bridge of the "Stalingrad" burst into cheers one after another.
"According to the report of the front-line frigates and the latest calculation of EVA, the seventy-eight warships of the first ten percent passed through two more minefields and then all went silent, and no signal came."
"Well, tell me that the remaining three minefields are working in this way, I'll take a call."
Ye Zifeng took out his mobile phone and walked out of the bridge.
"It's you again, can't you finish it in one go?" Ye Zifeng said angrily into the microphone.
"Hey, can't you be gentle, I'm also your boss, and the salary is good for you." On the other side, Mr. Feng's helpless voice came out.
"Alright, hurry up and say something. I'm busy here. ”
"I'm going to tell you the good news, I bought a new car!"
"Huh? Buying a car? Didn't you just buy a Maserati yesterday? ”
"It's going to be different, 10th Anniversary Edition! Aston Martin BD9! It's so handsome! ”
Listening to Mr. Feng's increasingly excited voice, Ye Zifeng felt cold in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh silently for the stupid directors on the board of directors.
"Okay, I'll leave it alone if it's nothing. Since you are in such a hurry to tell me this, then I will drive for two days after I go back. ”
"Ah, don't you have a car?" When Mr. Feng heard Ye Zifeng say that he was going to drive his car, his voice immediately became nervous.
"Yes, yes, not as good as yours."
"Isn't it just Geely England, can't you just open it?" Mr. Feng pouted.
"Okay, if you're really okay, I'll really hang up."
"Wait." Mr. Feng's voice immediately became serious, "I just received a message from the cowboy that I should have. There are obvious advantages to doing this, but there are also obvious disadvantages. You know, you only have five minefields, and the best pair can annihilate 25 percent. What do you do after an aviation thunderstorm runs out? ”
"It's classified, I can't reveal it."
"This is a work report."
"Well, isn't the 'Nibelungen' fleet right behind me?"
"You want to use the 'Nibelungen' fleet? You know, he can't help you much. There was nervousness in Mr. Feng's tone, which was different from the nervousness when Ye Zifeng borrowed the car before, and a trace of worry loomed between the words.
"Don't worry, I know he can't fight, it's okay to let him lay a few minefields."
"You want to annihilate their fleet with an aviation thunderstorm, this is too whimsical, if it works, the previous commanders will not use it?"
"They mainly want to isolate the flames of war from Uranus' defensive orbit, but I can fight as I go back and lead them all the way to Jupiter's outer ring, where the final battle will take place. Don't worry, I'll let his 'Nibelungen' fleet take it back to Io's fleet base after the mines, according to the data from the previous sources, the fleet base is on the other side of the solar system at this time, no matter how chaotic the battle is, the war will not affect them. ”
"Bring the enemy to the defensive orbit of Jupiter. It is indeed creative, but you must know that this is a violation of the naval version of the Geneva Conventions, and once the plan fails, the only defense line to Earth will be left with the Laurel Crown Base, where it is impossible for the forces to stop such a large fleet. ”
"Don't worry, you will succeed, and you have confidence in me. As for violating the convention, it depends on whether you can help me get through it. ”
"Okay, I'll go crazy with you for once, just Cowboy calculated the success rate of your plan, and it was thirty-seven .1 percent. If it succeeds, I'll lend you my Maserati to drive for a year. ”
"And the results of EVA have been consistent, you help me notify me first, let Anthony place the aviation thunderstorm according to my standards, and then let him withdraw from the second line with the fleet."
Ye Zifeng hung up the phone, pulled out the emergency computer on the wall, and clicked a few times on the mechanical keyboard on it, and EVA appeared on the LCD screen.
"What's the matter? Why don't you call me in the bridge, it's so uncomfortable in this 2D screen. EVA squirmed a few times uneasily.
"It's the nearest computer, and it's a place to avoid those annoying staff officers. After the fifth minefield is detonated, immediately retreat backwards, and at the same time reduce the energy shield of the opposing fleet with missiles, and distribute all missiles evenly from here to Jupiter's defensive orbit, and do not use them all at once. I had the Nibelungen fleet set up minefields outside of Jupiter's defensive orbit, and when the time came, it was linked to the aeronautical mine-blasting satellites and assigned to the frigates. ”
"Got it. By the way, the fifth minefield detonated twenty seconds later. EVA replied and disappeared from the screen, seemingly unwilling to stay on the 2D screen for a moment.
Ye Zifeng turned around and walked towards the bridge, at this time his mobile phone rang, the melodious "TheFirstDown" rang, Ye Zifeng glanced at the caller ID and picked up the phone.
"What, you changed your mind and don't want to borrow my car?"
"I don't have time to joke with you." Mr. Feng's voice was unusually serious, "Your plan is about to come to naught, I just got in touch with the 'Nibelungen' fleet, Anthony said that he didn't bring the aviation thunder satellite at all, said that he would go back to get it, and then left." ”
"What? How could this waste have a name with the Roman consuls! ”
"Leave that alone, come up with a new plan and report back to me in five minutes."
"There's no time." Ye Zifeng glanced at his watch, "The fifth minefield has begun to detonate, I'm going to retreat, help me mobilize a kilometer-level space station to the strategic location of Jupiter's defensive orbit within ten hours." ”
"What do you mean? Yes, backing? ”
"It's a meat shield! Alright, I'm going to get busy. ”
Ye Zifeng didn't turn off his mobile phone, just inserted it directly into his pocket and trotted all the way back to the bridge.
"Sir, the fleet retreated, isn't it ・・・・・・?"
"No, no, do as I say." Ye Zifeng sat on the captain's seat, "Issue the highest level of warning, notify the Admiralty, and let all the moving ships in the vicinity move closer to Jupiter's defensive orbit within an hour." Have the fleet retreat at the speed of the opponent's advance while attacking freely. Contact Jupiter's defensive orbit and have them deploy a defensive outpost. I'll go out for a while."
"Sir, you can't retreat!"
"It's an order." Ye Zifeng said coldly, then stopped talking, turned around and left the bridge.
"Hide, Nicholas, get behind the crates!" Jim shouted and pulled the trigger, and a dense stream of bullets shot a short enemy to the ground, the strange-looking enemy twitched a few times and stopped moving, the other enemies saw this and immediately became confused, and there were some scattered green energy bullets whistling in the ears of Jim and Nicholas, who had already lost their armor.
"Hurry up!"
"I know!" Jim and Nicholas burst out of behind the purple round box, picked up the Universal Recoilless rifle equipped on the Night Stalker, and tilted the bullets at the enemy. In the midst of such chaos, the otherwise wide passage had become crowded, and even if Jim didn't deliberately aim, every bullet could hit the target.
After the two of them worked like scavengers, there were no more enemies standing in the entire passage, and the enemies with an average height of one and a half meters were all over the place, and the thick cyan blood flowed everywhere.
"It's disgusting." Nicholas frowned as he looked at the sticky blood stuck to the soles of his boots.
"You're going to love it." Jim didn't look back, checked the rifle in his hand, took the last magazine from the magazine box and replaced it, and then unfastened the clip box fastening, and the magazine box fell to the ground, "It seems that you need to familiarize yourself with the guns of these elves." ”
Jim picked up a fairly clean, oddly shaped rifle and played with it in his hand.
"Get out of the way." Jim said to Nicholas.
Nicholas took a step back to the side and looked at Jim, who was holding a rifle and posing in a Weaver-style marksmanship, with curiosity: "Can it be done?" ”
"It should be fine." Jim said, pulling the trigger-like device. The whole prune began to tremble, and the muzzle began to gather a growing green light.
"What's going on, why is it so bad?" Nicholas wondered.
"How do I know, this shot is getting hot." Jim gradually couldn't control the violently shaking rifle, thinking that the heat was hot, and something like a heat pipe on the gun began to steam outward.
"What's going on! Scald me! Jim said loudly.
"Quick, get it out of the way."
"You still need to say it!" Jim immediately released the trigger, but before he could throw the rifle out, a fist-sized green ball of light flew out of the muzzle, and a powerful recoil force came from the gun, and Jim was pushed backwards.
"Be careful!" Nicholas stepped forward and held Jim, who was nearing the end.
"I'm fine." Jim gave up the idea of throwing away the rifle and looked in the direction of the green light cluster, and on the silver-purple passage wall, a bullet mark that was dripping downward and had melted into liquid metal appeared in front of Jim and Nicholas.
"What's this?" Jim asked.
"I don't know." Nicholas replied.
"It should be caused by this gun, bring a few more back, you will be meritorious." An excited look appeared on Jim's face.
"Hopefully it won't be court-martialed." Nicholas looked worried.
"Alright, let's go, let's go find the plane and leave."
Nicholas didn't speak, but nodded, picked up a rifle from the ground, and followed Jim to another hangar at the end of the passage.
After the previous hangar broke into the "Night Owl" fighter, it was destroyed by the "Night Owl" fighter with a cannon to break the airtight hatch and destroy the elliptical fighter in the hangar, resulting in a loss of pressure in the entire hangar, and the enemy troops who came to reinforce were sucked into space as soon as they opened the passage door to the hangar, it seems that they do not have any barometric pressure sensors and other devices, otherwise they would not rashly open the airtight hatch, this situation will never appear if it appears on a human warship, The computer-controlled airtight hatch is connected to more than 20 sensors of all kinds, as long as there is a value that is no longer within the specified range, the door will be automatically locked by the computer, unless there is a warning code, otherwise the door will never be opened by manpower alone. Even on the "Stalingrad", the take-off splint has used the technology of double airtight gates, and even if one layer of airtight gates is breached, there will be a second layer of gates to keep the air pressure unchanged inside the battleship.
It took a lot of effort to drive it, and the two of them put on it and sewed it all over the package, and there was even an escape with a built-in safety rope to climb out of it with a space suit, looking at the bare space scenery outside the warehouse door, the two couldn't help but sigh. But no matter how deep the emotion was, the two still took out two general-purpose low-recoil rifles, two magazine-filled magazine-filled magazines, a few grenades, two C7 foam explosives, and even two military long knives from the shock-absorbing trunk of the "Night Owl" fighter. These individual weapons were used to defend the surviving pilots after the crash landing, and they happened to be the handy weapons of Jim and Nicholas.
"Put on your mask, and after this door you'll be the nearest hangar." Jim dropped the visor from his helmet as he thought back to a splint plan he had seen earlier in the hangar where he had landed.
"Hope everything goes well." Nikolai drew a cross on his chest and put on a mask and picked up a rifle.
Jim and Nicholas looked at each other, and although they couldn't see each other's faces through the reflective mask, Jim gave Nicholas a thumbs up. Nicholas responded with the same motion, and then slapped the button to open the airtight hatch.
The electronic lock in the middle of the triangular hatch rotated ninety degrees, and then the door was cut open to both sides, and the hangar had just closed the hatch, and the air was not completely filled, but both of them were wearing space suits, so they were naturally not afraid of sudden loss of pressure, and took advantage of the time when the other pilot's could not leave the cockpit, and immediately ran forward, and used the plasma rifle to make a hole in the elliptical fighter, and finally burned to the miniature reactor inside, so that the fighter exploded. Fortunately, each fighter plane was far apart, and an explosion could not affect the next one, so that the last fighter plane could be left for Jim and Nicholas to escape.
"We've got to hurry, there's three more, and the air density is almost normal." Jim said to Nicholas through the intercom, letting go of the trigger and shooting out the plasma energy mass that had accumulated to the size of a ping-pong ball, leaving a hole in the fighter plane in front of him.
"It's been a lot of hard work." Nicholas let go of the trigger as well, and a ball of plasma energy of the same size shot into the hole that Jim had burned earlier, and a flash of green light flashed through the hole, and the second layer of armor was burned through.
"It's too late, the air pressure is normal!" Jim shouted.
"There is a reaction on the life detector, there is a life reflection in another channel, and the shadows show that there are at least twenty people."
"It's not more than half of what it used to be, so let's hide and have an ambush."
"Got it."
Jim and Nicholas lifted the masks, and the surviving pilots got out of the cab as soon as the air pressure was normal, and ran to the unopened hatch without looking back, and Jim noticed that something was wrong as he looked at the pilots.
"Nicholas, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"These drivers don't look the same as the previous ones."
"Really?" Nicholas was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately looked out, but a large number of blue-purple energy clusters were ushered in.
"Whoa, whoa." The sound continued to sound on the metal box behind Nicholas, this is the sound of the metal back gassing, Jim immediately felt bad in his heart, the weapons used by those dwarves before were at most to melt the metal, but this time the weapon used can vaporize the metal, and the density is higher than the previous single-shot plasma rifle, obviously, the people who came this time have a higher status than the previous dwarves.
"Nicholas, it seems that the official information circulating in the fleet before is not reliable, these aliens have different races, these must be reported to the superiors, check it, the video equipment is still intact."
"No problem, plenty of power."
"Well, the other party seems to have a relatively high combat quality and knows not to waste ammunition. Listen to my orders and throw grenades. Jim pulled a grenade from the buckle of his spacesuit and nodded to Nicholas. Nicholas also pulled down a grenade in response to Jim.
"Listen to my orders, three, two, one, vote!" Jim shouted, stood up from behind cover at the same time as Nicholas, threw the grenade while the other man didn't react, and then quickly crouched behind the cover.
"Bang bang" two muffled sounds came, Jim immediately got up, put the universal low recoil rifle that had been loaded with the safety bullet on his shoulder, aimed, pulled the trigger, and the muzzle immediately began to spray flames, and the lead core kinetic energy bullets were pushed out of the chamber by the blast wind generated during the explosion, and flew in the direction of the vector at a speed of five hundred meters per second, accurately hitting the target, but unfortunately, these aliens who came to the hangar had the same body as their battleship, wrapped in a layer of energy shield, Although the lead core kinetic energy bullet is constantly consuming the energy of the energy shield, overloading the energy shield, the opponent is fully capable of reacting during this period of time until the counterattack.
"Damn, get cover!" Jim cursed loudly, and quickly crouched behind the metal box, the effect of this shootout was not good, the previous two grenades only made the energy shield of one of the aliens who hit the head turn red that was about to be overloaded, and the energy shields of the other aliens were basically undamaged, even if Jim and Nicholas concentrated on attacking the alien who hit the head, they only broke its energy shield and injured it a little, and no alien died.
There was a loud cry of aliens from behind the metal box, a high-pitched voice composed of a strange note that not to mention Jim and Nicholas could not be resolved by even the best linguists in a short period of time.
"It seems that the land has to be used in a special way, so give them more weight." Jim pulled out a C7 foam explosive from his spacesuit's storage bag and shook it vigorously.
"What are you going to do, detonate foam explosives at such a close distance, even we will be affected, and we can't detonate them without a fuse."
"No problem. There are two ways to detonate foam explosives, one is a fuse, and the other is ・・・・・・ "Jim sprayed foam explosives onto a high-explosive fragmentation grenade," and detonated directly. ”
As soon as the foam explosives were sprayed on the grenade, it immediately solidified, and the original dark green grenade was covered with foam explosives and turned into a grayish white.
"Get ready, cover your ears." Jim reminded Nicholas, then pulled the tab, the safety bounced off on its own, and Jim quickly got to his feet, and after a split second saw the enemy's position, he threw the grenade.
The gunpowder in the grenade was ignited, and the high explosive was immediately detonated, and the violent explosion was thrown through the shell of the grenade in an instant, retreating the iron pieces that had been cut into shape, and the layer of foam explosives wrapped around the grenade also exploded the moment it came into contact with the bandaging flame, and the seemingly harmless white hard foam had become a sickle in the hands of the god of death at this time, accelerating the anti-personnel fragments that had reached the speed of the pistol bullet out of the chamber again, and each fragment had emitted a trace of fire when it rubbed against the air. The strength of such a killing fragment is definitely not to be underestimated, and the hundreds of killing fragments emitted by the high-explosive fragmentation grenades that exploded in the alien formation immediately sliced the surrounding alien ability shields to an overload, and then disappeared with a crisp glass breaking sound.
"It's now." Jim stood up from behind the metal box again, aimed at the alien troops and pulled the trigger, this time the alien who went to the energy shield to protect the armor could not resist the tremendous momentum of the lead core kinetic energy bullet, and one by one, his chest exploded with dark purple blood flowers.
It was Nicholas who also stood up, also thinking about the alien troops tilting the bullets. The previous discipline came from the protection of the energy shield, but at this time, the energy shield had disappeared, and even the aliens were very sorry for their lives, and immediately ignored the command of the commander in the rear and fled to the rear, and the scene immediately became chaotic. The aliens in the front row did not have the courage to shoot forward, and in turn blocked the ballistics of the aliens in the rear. This is exactly what Jim and Nicholas want to see, and the two of them no longer skimp on bullets, and each of them shoots six magazines quickly, and they are all empty in less than three minutes, and there are only two or three aliens left.
It seems that these aliens don't know what surrender is all about, and after being defeated, they didn't drop their weapons and hold their heads to surrender, but dropped the rifles in their hands, turned around and fled, but how could Jim and Nicholas miss the opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy, and immediately threw two grenades, and the aliens who had lost their energy shields were vulnerable in front of the high-explosive fragmentation grenades, and they were shocked to the ground one after another, and then twisted a few times and stopped moving.
"Whew." Nicholas let out a long breath, threw away the useless universal recoiler rifle in his hand, took off the Type 09 individual pistol, and walked out of cover.
"Come and see, there's something good." Jim also stepped out of cover and cleaned up the battlefield with Nicholas.
"It seems that these two humans are really underestimated." In the dim bridge of the "Endless Wisdom" cruiser, an alien wrapped in dark gold retro-style armor, leaving only a four-petaled mouth and a pair of eyes the size of a cherry outside, sat in the captain's seat, looking at the screen in front of him that glowed with a faint blue light, two figures flashed on the screen, carrying the corpses on the ground, and at the same time picking up the No. 2 plasma rifle on the ground and throwing it into the pressure compartment of a "Halo" fighter.
"What should I do, Captain? Do you want to send a judge? Another alien who was also wearing the same armor, but with a light blue armor, suggested to him behind the alien captain.
"Do you think it's necessary? Woolde. You're getting more and more timid now. ”
"Or I'll get rid of them!" Urde was a little excited when he heard the captain's words, pulled out the hilt of the photon sword at his waist, and pressed a button, and a photon sword with blue light took shape.
"Don't be in such a hurry to prove your mettle, Ulder, there will be a time for you to play."
Ulder put away the Photon Sword: "Then what should I do now, Hall Master, if you don't act quickly, these humans will flee." ”
"Don't be too anxious, we're doing the last bit of work. And do you think those two will be able to escape? The captain looked at the end-of-the-line progress bar on the screen beside him.
"Captain, the scout ship on the right flank has come to report that it has detected that the signal of seventy-eight warships of the advance force has disappeared."
"Looks like something happened."
"It's not a small loss, Chief!"
"The pilgrimage has stood the test, and the losses are still within our control."
"But it also shows that we can't move forward properly, sir. Otherwise, let's set up a formation and have a decisive battle. ”
"You're still too anxious, Wool." The captain sighed, "Tell the ships to slow down, move forward steadily, and if they encounter resistance, they will be wiped out." ”
"Obey the Divine Commandment, Captain." One of the crew members responded, turning around and operating on the console in front of them.
"Chief, letter from the elders."
"Got it."
The captain stood up from the captain's seat, the blades of his armor touching together in a Caracalla sound.
"I'll leave, Wood, and you'll take over as captain for the time being."
"Follow the oracle, and let the truth be with you."
The captain nodded, waved off the guards who were about to follow, and walked out of the bridge.
In a pitch-black room, a beam of light struck, illuminating the captain standing in the room. There was darkness all around, as if there was no end to this room, and a lotus-colored figure sitting behind a desk slowly appeared in front of the captain.
"Hello, Lord Deldor. It was an honor to meet"
"Hello, Bishop Singara, I am equally honored to meet you." Captain Deldo bowed to the figure.
"Praise to the Union. Report back to your side. ”
"Praise to the Union. The situation here is very bad, the advance force is completely annihilated. The surrounding space was disturbed by human quantum microwaves, and the battleship could not enter the eleventh dimensional jump space, and we could not reach the Holy Land directly. ”
"I already know that. Without a new order, the Council of Elders continued onwards and reached the Holy Land. In addition, the priests came up with a prophecy. 'A great fleet will be destroyed in this battle'. The 'Infinite Wisdom' fleet is the backbone of the Alliance, and it can be regarded as a great fleet. In the same way, your opponent, the fleet called 'Stalingrad' is also the trump card of mankind, and it can be called great. The outcome of this battle will be one dead and one wounded. ”
"I do my best."
"Defeat your opponents. May the truth be with you. ”
"Obey the oracle, Elder. May the truth be with you. ”
The lights in the room came on, and Deldo turned and pushed open the door to the room that wasn't a three-square-meter room.
"Let's get ready, the battle might start in an hour."
03 The door of the splint arms control center slid open to both sides, and the guards at the gate of the arms control center gave a military salute to Ye Zifeng, and Ye Zifeng also saluted the guards in return.
"Huh? Brother, why are you here? Ye Shi jumped up from the seat of the chief of martial arts and walked in front of Ye Zifeng.
"The fleet is retreating, and it is expected to reach Jupiter's defensive orbit in ten hours, and I have arranged an outpost there, and you will go to the outpost as soon as you get there."
"Why? Isn't it good for me to be here? Ye Shi was a little puzzled.
"Not why. That idiot Anthony disrupted my plans, and it didn't work to destroy the opposing fleet with aviation thunderstorms. Ten hours later, this is the front line, I don't worry about you here, you better go to the outpost. ”
"If it's not safe here, there's no safe place." Ye Shi heard what Ye Zifeng meant, "I am the Colonel of the Admiralty and the chief of the weapons control center on the 'Stalingrad'. Even if you are of a higher rank than me, you cannot force a high-ranking officer of the fleet to leave his post in wartime, which is a violation of the regulations. It has the thickest armor in the entire fleet, not to mention those alien warships, even an atomic bomb can't blow it up at once. ”
"I know, but the 'Stalingrad' is at the forefront. Once the formation was launched for fixed-point defensive warfare, the 'Stalingrad' bore the brunt of the attack and attracted the most firepower. I don't feel comfortable with you staying here. Immediately after arriving at the position, take a transport plane to the rear outpost, and return after the battle. ”
"But, but I'm leaving, who will command the Arms Control Center?"
"Just to pass it down in turn. I'll send for you in ten hours, and now you go back to your bedroom. Ye Zifeng left without looking back after leaving the next sentence, and did not respond to the guards' salute, walked straight into the elevator and left the 03 plywood.
"Really, how can my brother do this." Ye Shi pursed her lips dissatisfied, and watched Ye Zifeng's back disappear into the crack of the elevator door with indignation.
"You heard the commander's order, and now you are the commander of the armed forces." Ye Shi said to the adjutant who had been standing behind her before, and then hung a red five-pointed star on his chest on the adjutant's chest.
The adjutant was a little excited in the face of this happy event that flew sideways, and his whole body began to tremble slightly, and he immediately gave a military salute: "Yes, sir." At the same time, there was an expression of joy on his face.
"Hmm." Ye Shi nodded, and also left the armed control center, and after leaving, he didn't forget to salute the guards at the door.
"The fleet has all turned around, just waiting for the opposing fleet to catch up."
As soon as Ye Zifeng walked into the bridge, the colonel's adjutant walked over and reported the latest situation to Ye Zifeng.
"Is there any connection to Jupiter's defensive orbit?"
"I've been contacted, and the outpost will be in place in seven hours. But they said that there was a space station floating there, expected to arrive within an hour of the start of the war, and said that Mr. President meant. And the position of that space station is too far forward, it has exceeded the set frontier position. ”
"Well, I arranged that." Ye Zifeng sat on the captain's seat.
"But, sir." The colonel lowered his voice and leaned his face close to Ye Zifeng, "The space station, the Admiralty has been operating for thirty years, and I don't know how many components have been sent to space without telling the United Nations, so let's destroy it like this, isn't it a bit troublesome after that?" ”
"It's a Titan-class armed space station, and it can handle this position. Don't worry about this, Feng Fengxiang will solve it. Still have questions? ”
"No, sir."
"Well, after reaching Jupiter's defensive orbit, send a transport plane to send the commander to the outpost. You're not going to tell anyone, are you? ”
"Yes, sir." The colonel replied with a smile on his face and turned to leave. The crews sat behind the console and tapped on the light keyboard in front of them, which could be formed by a three-dimensional image, making a dripping sound. Ye Zifeng picked up the third-rate fantasy novel he put aside again, turned to the page where the hundred-yuan bill was clamped and read. The bridge returned to the silence before the last impact began.
