#9 Ambush on the Dark Side of the Moon (2)

The battleship was speeding rapidly, and the starry sky outside the porthole was twinkling with the accelerated movement of the battleship, and the dark shadow on the side of the battleship was gradually becoming smaller, and before long, the outline of the moon could be seenβ€”the sunlight hidden behind the moon stained the edge of the moon gold. As the battleship advanced, the sun came into view.

It's amazing! The golden glow outside the porthole is like a fantasy in a sci-fi promo...... No, the real scene has far crushed the starry sky in the so-called science fiction film. If I wasn't worried about running around on the bridge or danger, I'd have leaned down on the porthole to get the most out of my view of the starry sky.

It's just that the bloody and tense atmosphere on the bridge is really not very suitable for watching the scenery.

The battleship accelerated quickly, and it didn't take long for the battleship to break away from the shadow of the moon. With the baptism of sunlight, part of the hull under the front of the bridge can be seen clearly - the smooth blue and white hull of the ship seems to be the shell of some kind of synthetic material, full of technological texture. And the "curvature cannon" controlled by Gnevelle is even more powerful between rotation and pitching.

The battleship is accelerating, but the pressure of acceleration is not felt inside the battleship with artificial gravity. The navigation indicator shows that the battleship is now aiming at the intact "Battleship-class TPYE4" that has spotted the enemy and rushed towards it.

"The demon cannon door opens, the missiles are coming, the number is 16!" Just then, an alarm came from the radar. And just before, the screen was already showing the every move of the "giant arthropod beetle" type4 that was captured by optical equipment. The unhit demon shell armor sheathed open, and the purple light of the propelling working fluid flashed behind it, and it accelerated towards us. At the same time, dozens of small beetles "gave birth" to the lower abdomen, and they spewed pale green light and rushed towards us at a faster speed.

Immediately after that, it was the "cannon barrel organization" on the giant arthropod that launched a shot at this side, and the "missile" hidden in the carapace also hit it.

Although the demon looks like a bug in every way, it is not the same as the insect in the impression, rushing to the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, but fighting back with fire like a human. No matter how you look at it, the demon called "Battleship-class TPYE4" doesn't look like a bug, but a kind of battleship, right?

In this way, the next battle that is about to take place is the romance between the two warships, right?

"Avoid! Open the whole cannon door and lay the barrage! In the face of the other party's movements, the captain immediately gave an order. The helmsman had already understood it, and saw that the front end of the battleship suddenly sank, and with the pressure of instantaneous acceleration, several yellow beams with arcs passed outside the porthole in front of him......

Did the big bugs shoot beams too? This setting has a sense of immediacy...... Where is this? It's just that it's still time to complain, only to see that after the battleship evaded, the dense array of anti-aircraft artillery on the side spread out a dense barrage into the starry sky, and soon after, there were bursts of explosions in the starry sky in the distance.

"That's a missile destroyed, right?" I'm a little curious. But the captain did not answer my words, and the observers first reported the situation: "All the Demon missiles were sunk, the carrier-based aircraft were approaching, and there were twenty-six M-type Type 7 'Grasshoppers'. ”

There are actually bugs that have been nicknamed, grasshoppers? Listening to the description, I think it is a very high type of mobile surname.

"Tactician, your carrier-based aircraft unit should have been ambushed a long time ago!" The captain was very relieved to call out to a brown-haired boy on the bridge, who did not reply, but showed his strong white teeth and blinded my dog's eyes. Before, after the dispatch of our carrier-based aircraft on the screen, they circled around the nearby universe, and they were silent for a long time on the attack route of the enemy's carrier-based aircraft in some way, and when the captain gave the order, they came out......

This is another ambush! They launched a surprise attack from the side of Demon's M-shaped Type7 "Grasshopper", and then fought the "Grasshopper" in the starry sky. The exact battle situation is still unconfirmed by the naked eye, but from the radar screen, it represents the enemy's carrier-based aircraft bugs are rapidly disappearing. Such an ambush...... It seems to be quite familiar to the captain.

Even the tactical commander knows how this captain wants to arrange the carrier-based aircraft, hey!

When the carrier-based aircraft achieved results, the warships on this side were naturally not idle. The huge guns on the deck of the battleship stretched out from below the deck and shot at the battleship-class demon in the depths of the starry sky. Under the observation of optical devices, every move of the enemy's movement is reflected in the eye.

- The other side is also evading our artillery bombardment, and it is spinning and dodging as fast as it is not like a behemoth. However, there were still occasional blue pillars of light sweeping through his body, but this only left a deep white mark on the shiny "carapace" on his body, but it was not shattered with the "curvature cannon" like the other one.

Don't...... Is this the rhythm of "we did not penetrate their armor"?

However, the opponent's yellow beam with lightning failed to break through the armor of the "East Lake", and when the incoming beam hit the hull of the battleship, there was a ripple blocking the beam, allowing it to explode without directly touching the armor of the battleship. What kind of black technology is this?

Probably...... It's the energy shield mentioned in various science fiction novels, right?

In this way, the two sides continued to shoot and evade each other, and after sweeping away a group of "grasshoppers", our carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the battleship-class Type 4, which was temporarily marked as No.2, as if to kill it within the range of the fire. Here, the success rate of the battleship in evading the enemy was very high at the beginning, but it became lower and lower later. As the distance between the two sides gets closer, the space and time available for avoidance are compressed.

"Thirty seconds left before entering the evasion dead zone!"

"A heat source was detected at 180,000 km, from the battleship-class TPYE4-NO.2!"

In this way, you will be attacked on both sides! No problem? While observing the dynamics of the battlefield on the big screen, I inexplicably began to make up the situation on the battlefield. Except for the passing enemy beams and the constant commands in the battleship reminding that this is a battle, there is no dynamic sense of close-range naval gun fire in various sci-fi anime.

-- Maybe it's because we haven't entered the proximity battle yet?

In fact, this constant over-the-horizon shooting and scrubbing evasion is scary enough, bastard! Wouldn't it be even more exciting if you entered the close battle!

I didn't feel very good, but the captain was still calm. He seems to be a little dissatisfied with the carrier-based aircraft unit: "The carrier-based aircraft is a little slow, and the other party is a smart person." Attention all ships! Prepare to enter the close battle, be prepared for shock resistance, and the helmsman mainly dodges the attack of No.2. Once you've gotten into that damn thing's evasion dead zone, fire a salvo from all guns, including the curvature cannon! ”

The regiment commander's final shooting order immediately made the bridge boil.

"Contact with No.1 after 30 seconds! There is no way to evade the shelling! ”

"Fire! Counterattack! If you can, you can fire! Don't stop! The captain gave a loud order, and the curvature cannons controlled by Gnevelle fired a salvo towards the starry sky in front of them, and correspondingly, all the firepower of the other party poured into the hull of the Nanhu, and the huge impact made the battleship tremble. Even though the ship was protected by shields, the crew members still reported a long list of damage information.

This...... That's it, no problem!

At this moment, I felt like I was going to pee. It's definitely not a scene from a movie, it's all absolutely real. The enemy artillery fire bombarded the front of the battleship, the explosion almost annihilated the starry sky, the flying parts with the explosion of fire smashed into the porthole of the bridge, the huge tremor made it impossible to maintain my position, if it were not for the help of the seat belt, maybe I don't know where I was thrown to......

That's what it is...... War!

A real war! Although I feel scared when I look at the scene outside the bridge, my heart is burning with my companions on the bridge. I hadn't experienced war, and I didn't understand how much humanity had a grudge against that alien enemy called the demon, but now I all had the same idea - until they died!

The optics showed that the giant arthropod beetle was also submerged in the explosion after entering the evasion dead zone. But it was hit by the curvature cannon, and it seemed to be even more miserable - half of the "head" in the front part was blown off, and the tissues in it were hit by various missiles and beams that came from behind. It was silent, but I could feel it hurting.

"Strengthen damage control!"

"Captain Promi's mental synchronization rate has decreased, and the output of the wall protection No. 1 plug plug has decreased!"

Commands beat inwardly. But no one seemed to be able to respond to any of the orders. I saw that the distance between the two sides on the big screen was approaching at a speed of several kilometers per second, but neither side had the idea of slowing down. The two sides are ready to pass by! At this moment, I saw that below the front of the bridge, the curvature cannon in Gnevill's hands was glowing white again......

"Fight it out!" At this moment, the captain's shout was heard......

At this moment, time seemed to slow down - I could see that the battleship-class TPYE4, which had never been able to see with the naked eye, dragged its broken body out of the black hole-like starry sky, and this posture seemed to collide directly with the East Lake. But the helmsman had already turned the bow of the ship at the last moment......

It was incredible that such a small moment suddenly became so clear in my eyes.

I saw that the battleship-level type4 body that was half blown off in front of me directly brushed the left chord of the East Lake, and collided with a behemoth of the same size as the East Lake, and the huge tremor made the ship's instruments almost fail, but no one was afraid of it. All guns fire...... The tremendous power of the zero-range shot shattered the demon's carapace, and then, the white fluctuating cannon shot out, hitting at zero range. The distorted space instantly disintegrated the enemy from the middle, and the splashes of liquid and tissue slapped directly into the hull, as if dyeing the battleship with a dark purple coating.

At this time...... Should it be cheering, or should it be disgusting?

Then, it was as if time had suddenly resumed its flow. The impact of the impact swept in, and even with artificial gravity relief, I still felt as if my internal organs were about to be thrown out. The battleship lost control for a short time, and then stabilized the hull. But unlike before, the interior of the battleship was suddenly much quieter.

"Battleship-class type4 is unresponsive! Confirmed sinking! ”

On the display screen of the optical observation equipment, the giant arthropod beetle that was terrifying before was now turned into broken flesh and broken armor, floating under the habit of high-speed movement before until it disappeared......

"Human, long live!"
