Chapter 9: Headhunter Level
If politics is nothing more than a game for the powerful, then war is a contempt for life.
If one day war is only for the selfish desires of politicians, then the biggest victims are still the people.
And in such a war, the people will win.
……
In accordance with the laws of the Solar System's warfare, the Solar System Business Community has announced the timing of their engagement with the old Atum colony.
It is also restricted by the laws of war, and the old Atum colony cannot carry out any prior surprise attack plans. Otherwise, in the next war, they will face not only the Taishang Communists, but also the Earth Federation.
The law is made by the earthlings, and the wars are initiated by the earthlings, so it is natural that the people will be biased in favor of the earth.
Even in this whole war, it seems that Taishang will win the war as if it has already been decided.
They're just going through the motions.
With the lives and sufferings of countless people, to perfect this form.
The stars were shrouded, and the old Yatum fleet had already arranged the formation, eight angles composed of interceptors, connected by heavy assault ships in a cube, and in the cube array, there were 10,000 frigates, protecting the center of the array, the only aircraft carrier.
Eternal level.
Compared to the Leviatan class of the Taishang Gong, the Wangu class is more than twice as small.
But this ship, known as the Moving Fortress, is the hope of the entire Old Yatum Colony Star.
"Are you really going to do that?"
"It's much easier for us to act individually."
On the bridge of the Wangu-class ship, Ji Qiu, White and others took the initiative to apply to Kong Su to take the headhunter-class starfighter developed in-house by Old Yatum.
Due to technical limitations, Colony was unable to produce drones on a large scale, so it began to continue research on a space fighter project that had been abandoned by Earth.
It has more maneuverability than a drone and has a firepower assembly that is no less than that of a frigate, but the disadvantage is that it cannot be controlled by a computer, and the action is predicted and decided by the pilot.
This war will be the first time that the headhunter class has appeared.
"So, are you ready?"
In the light screen of the Eternal class, nine councillors and six colonial leaders were in their respective ships.
Through the network connection of the guò ships, they can communicate with each other in the first time during the battle.
"Ready, the Golden Emperor's Nemesis level is also in place. As soon as you start, we will win. ”
"Remember, no matter what, don't let them land on the colony planet."
With five minutes to go before the start of the war, the armies of the Solar System Commercial Community are in place, and both sides are waiting for time, waiting for the last digit on the timer to turn to zero.
It's just five minutes, and every second is so hard.
"Thruster activated!"
A pale blue halo appeared on the tail of both groups.
The thrusters are activated, close to each other.
But as long as the time is not up, the two sides cannot open fire.
The Leviathan-class led the group of ships to advance slowly, but the Vangu-class aircraft carriers directly turned on the thruster power to the maximum, and they wanted to take the battlefield away from the old Yatum range.
At this point, there are fifty seconds left on the number on the timer.
The optimum firing distance has been reached between them.
Forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty seconds, ten seconds......
Nine, eight, seven......
In a state of high mental tension, Kong Su wanted to seize the last second of the moment to give an order and seize the opportunity.
But a shock came, and from the frigate of the Taishang Communists, a missile hit the frigate that was blocking the Wangu-class.
Affected by the shock wave of the explosion, the angle of the main gun of the Wangu-class deviated by half a degree.
The Taishang Communist Party even ignored the laws of war and launched a direct attack four seconds in advance.
"Fire!"
Tens of thousands of drones rushed out of the belly compartment of the Leviatan-class, and the old Atum Army was obviously a step slower, and the Taishang Gong fired first, directly breaking up the cube formation.
The missiles staggered out, and Taishang had already calculated the best trajectory to attack the Wangu class in just five minutes.
"Don't panic! Unleash the laser cannon! ”
Under Khonsu's order, the main guns of the Wangu-class began to charge, and a few seconds later, a pillar of red and blue light directly passed through dozens of frigates and hit the Leviathan-class.
But things are far from being as easy as they seem.
The pillar of light was about to touch the Leviathan-class and was instantly dispersed into hundreds of insignificant rays of light that grazed the edge of the Leviatan-class's hull.
"They refracted our beams!"
"Shoot from all angles!"
Mirror stand, is the nemesis of all beam weapons.
Kong Su should have expected that the Earth Federation would not allow the Solar System Commercial Community to develop beam laser weapons at all, so that their weapons were all physical munitions.
In such a situation, the attack effect and speed of physical ammunition are obviously not as good as those of beam weapons, and the cumbersome ballistic calculations are also hard injuries of live weapons.
Therefore, the solar system business community has been frantically researching the beam shield in recent years, and Kong Su has heard of it for a long time.
He didn't know that the mirror stance was being applied to the battlefield. So much so that they were unable to inflict the slightest damage on the Leviathans, but because the Leviatans were using live-fire weapons, they were now single-handedly slaughtered.
"Unleash all the Headhunter-class and battlefield reconnaissance aircraft, we must find the external generator of the mirror position!"
In the Eternal Class Special Launch Module, the door to the vacuum environment was opened, and the Headhunter-class Starfighter thrusters fixed on the bracket began to spray, White pulled the throttle valve to his waist, and at the same time as the thruster was maximally ejected, the fixed Headhunter-class bracket was instantly retracted, and hundreds of fighters rushed into the universe at the highest speed.
"This is Headhunter No. 3, which has completed its takeoff and is about to enter the battlefield, requesting freedom of movement."
"Freedom of movement is allowed."
"Roger."
After entering the cosmic environment, White pushed the throttle valve forward to the middle position to stop the afterburner. After charging the capacitive crystal, White turned the fighter around and entered the battlefield.
Cutting through the manless bush, White entered the enemy formation alone, aiming for the ammunition bays of the frigates. The beams of light next to the four end jets of the X-type wing instantly condensed, directly penetrating the armor of the enemy frigate.
If the frigate is protected by the mirror position from damage, then White will first solve the outside position.
As soon as the headhunters entered the battlefield, they obviously attracted the attention of the Taishang Gong.
Gradually, the target of the unmanned aircraft became a headhunter-class starfighter.
However, with the headhunter-class shuttle-shaped exterior and four jets that can turn at a top speed of 360 degrees at any time, the missiles fired from the cannons are completely unable to accurately hit the target, and even the tracked missiles cannot cope with the mobility of the headhunter-class class.
"It's cool! Hahaha! ”
Although the main ship was suppressed, under the influence of the headhunter class, the battle situation of the small frigate was completely one-sided.
"Headhunter Three, watch the back."
The information on the monitor changed, and White saw the drone behind the fuselage.
Just as he was about to dodge, four drones appeared up, down, forward, left, and at some point, they had already enveloped him.
"Have the tactics changed?"
It is no longer the previous collective action, the drone began to act separately by the individual, for the operator, it is like fighting with people with seven or eight hands at the same time, the coordination is difficult to control, and for the newcomer who operates the drone is completely self-defeating.
But at this time, White's situation is obviously not a novice.
All five directions were encircled, leaving only the right side for White, but everyone understood that it was a trap, and if White avoided it to the right, then it was likely to be followed by a dozen missiles coming from the right.
In a hurry, he didn't even know what he should do.
"Headhunter III requests support, I am in the lower part of the enemy array, coordinates X-4.201, Y-0.219, Z9.601, Headhunter III requests support ......"
White knew that he had penetrated into enemy lines, that the Headhunters were still struggling with the frigates, and that in this case, who would come to his rescue, more likely, would not be able to catch up.
The drone tip cannon was out of the cabin, and White could even feel the heat of the missile flying out of it.
"It's going to die like this, it's very unwilling."
"Who said you were going to die, Headhunter Three, join the formation!"
Ji Qiu's voice came from the intercom, and White, who had closed his eyes and was ready to die, looked at the rearview, and the drone that had been following him had long since disappeared, replaced by a headhunter-class fighter.
"Ji Qiu?"
"That's right, you're right, this is Headhunter No. 1, order Headhunter No. 3 to return to the formation, we will kill them from behind by surprise!"
Immediately afterwards, three, four, and hundreds of headhunter-class planes passed through the Taishang communist ship group under the call of Ji Qiu, and turned sharply around the airframe, and broke into the ship group again from behind.
The frigates in front did not make any moves, they were focused on attacking the mobile fortress of Staraya Yatum, ignoring the pursuers behind them. Ji Qiu had already shortened the distance between the two sides to five kilometers, but it was not enough, their group of headhunters wanted to destroy those frigates with one blow.
Holding his breath, after the first frigate fully entered the field of vision, Ji Qiu pressed the headhunter-class buffer cannon.
"Unleash the cracker! Attack! ”
Led by Ji Qiu, hundreds of headhunter-class cannons flew out of the rear cabin, and the sailing speed was instantly halved, that is, at this moment, the headhunter-class pilots adjusted the attack angle by themselves, and the 300mm beam drew a straight line from the capacitor transmitter at the tip of the headhunter-class, piercing through the frigate locked by the computer.
"Long live Yatum!" White shouted, the first result that could affect the battlefield was in hand, and then they only needed to carry out one more raid around the rear to eliminate one-fifth of the frigates of Taishang.
"All headhunters, return."
"Return? What are you kidding," looking at Ji Qiu sailing on the left, White couldn't understand why he wanted to give up his excellent advantage, "The group of idiots from Taishang Gong haven't reacted yet, we should come twice!" ”
"My order is, return! The headhunter-grade capacitor crystal is still not stable enough, and we need to return to confirm the condition of the airframe. ”
"You have to go back, you have to go back by yourself! I'm not going to give up even a little advantage! With that, White pulled the throttle valve to his waist, and the thruster had the highest power output, and the headhunter No. 3 rushed out of the queue alone.
At this time, he had already left the formation, and nearly a hundred headhunter-class planes behind him returned to the Wangu-class for overhaul due to Ji Qiu's order, and only one headhunter-class was left on the battlefield, which was White's No. 3 machine.
After another circle, White rushed forward, intending to make another surprise attack, but unexpectedly, the cannon had run out, and he had no time to adjust the trajectory because he couldn't slow down, so he had to continue shooting.
White cheered with joy when one frigate was pierced, two were pierced, but just as he was about to open fire on the third, the red trigger on the joystick could not be pulled down. The frigate, which had already figured out what was going on, blew up the wing of the No. 3 machine with only two shots.
The fighter that lost its wing could not adjust its direction, and although it was difficult to hit the headhunter class of the shuttle fuselage with live ammunition, the powerless White had become a turtle in the urn.
The capacitor crystal is still unstable, and we need to return to confirm the condition of the airframe.
At the last moment, he remembered Ji Qiu's previous order.
Sure enough, he was killed by his usual recklessness.
"But, even if I die, I'll take one with me!"
With the tail reserve thruster pushing in full force, White aimed at a frigate in front of him, and even if death was assured, he would fight for the slightest chance of victory for the old Yatum.
"Long live Yatum!"
Looking at the battlefield liaison that had lost the news, Emperor Jin sighed slightly.
White has long been known for his recklessness, which is why his original condolence group was plotted.
"How's going on over there, Seth."
"The reconnaissance plane found that the mirror stance generator of the Leviathan-class is probably on the side fuselage of the Leviatan-class, on all sides, it looks like an umbrella, and your Nemesis-class position is relatively close, so you can only trouble you to solve it. Destroy a Stance Generator and the entire Mirror Stance will be destroyed. ”
"Got it, leave it to me."
From the beginning of the war, the Golden Emperor's Nemesis-class has not participated in the war, but cut into the Taishang Communist Party's ship group from the side. The Earth Federation apparently didn't tell the Taishang about Ahe's mutiny, so the Federation's exclusive livery and mechs became a seamless cover for them.
"Stop the boat, Aher, Alice, give me the knife, I'll go over myself."
"But ......"
"No, but, seize the opportunity to return to the Eternal level, the Nemesis-level has a friendly identification system, don't worry about me."
Putting on a protective suit, the Golden Emperor went out of the cabin alone, taking the broken knife that had followed him for nearly a hundred years and approaching the Leviatan-class Titan flagship with a jet.
The beams were fired indiscriminately on the battlefield, and a few of them even almost hit the Golden Emperor, and he was glad that he had the Earth Federation's friendly weapon identifier, otherwise it would not just be the beams that passed by him, but those damn tracking missiles.
As long as he dive into the range of the mirror position, the Golden Emperor does not need to worry about being hit by the beam, but moves more freely. That stance only refracts the beam, and nothing else has an effect.
Leviatan felt a slight gravitational pull attached to the surface of the Leviatan-class, and the Leviatan-class gravity system was still working, leaving him to walk through Guò to find the umbrella-shaped stance generator.
It takes more than an hour to get from the head to the tail of the Leviatan class.
"Is there a more detailed number jù, where is the position generator above the Leviatan level?"
"About a third of the way back from the front."
"Okay, I should be in a similar position."
"Twenty minutes later, the Eternal cannon will be fired."
Known as the mobile fortress, the Wangu-class still insists on the battlefield, and even if several missiles are carried out at the same time to carry out precision strikes, they will not be able to penetrate the armor of the Wangu-class.
This is the biggest advantage of the Eternal Class, although the secondary cannon of the Eternal Rank is not very powerful, it can delay time with an absolute defensive advantage.
Jump on the Leviatan-class platform, avoid the staff who think they are safe, and soon, with just a slight destruction of the stance generator, the entire Leviatan-class defense will be instantly crushed, and those leisurely staff will no longer be swaying around slowly.
After walking for nearly fifteen minutes, the Golden Emperor finally saw the Stance Generator, which, as Seth said, stood upright on the surface of the Leviatan class like a huge umbrella.
Perhaps because live-fire weapons have long been eliminated on the battlefield, this stance generator has no protective pestle on the surface of the Titan.
"I found it, ready to fire."
For the sake of safety, after telling Sù Sette about the situation, the Golden Emperor turned off the communication device, and took out his knife, preparing to directly cut off the position generator in front of him.
"What are you doing!?"
Behind him, two guards who were patrolling saw the sneaky figure of the Golden Emperor, and the Golden Emperor secretly said that it was not good, and rushed straight to the position generator five hundred meters in front of him. The main cannon of the Eternal class has already begun to glow, and if it misses again at this time, it will take at least ten minutes to reload the main gun.
There are so many ten minutes to waste on the battlefield!
"Stop!"
The two guards were obviously not as stupid as the Emperor Jin had imagined, and immediately opened fire after seeing the Emperor Jin rushing straight towards the position generator, but those bullets were bounced off just as soon as they touched the gallium and indium alloy on the surface of the Emperor Jindi's protective suit, and the live ammunition weapon had no effect at all.
The main guns of the Wangu-class aircraft carriers were ready, and blue-red pillars of light erupted from the muzzles, and at this time, the Golden Emperor was still ten meters away from the stance generator.
Damn it!
Wrist safety device contact, active overload!
"Catch up with me!"
The knife that flew out of Guò's overloaded arm slashed through the air in an arc, and the red and blue pillars of light had reached the front of the Leviatan class.
In a burst of sparks, the entire alloy stance generator was split in two, and the knife flew out by inertia, and the trajectory of the red and blue light pillars shifted slightly, but it still punched a gap in the lower right corner of the Leviathan-class Titan.
However, due to the shock, the Golden Emperor fell to the ground before he could stand still, and the two guards had already used jetpacks to reach behind the Golden Emperor and handpen him.
"Report to the commander, we have spotted a suspicious person outside the ship, who has destroyed the stance generator."
"Let go of me, I'm the supreme commander of the Earth Federation, Ah, I can show you my identification." Emperor Jin cut the channel into the guard, trying to use Ahe's identity system to fool through, and the other party was obviously not as stupid as he thought.
"Then Officer Aher, please come with us."
In this way, the Golden Emperor was escorted into the interior of the Leviatan-class flagship. I1387
