Chapter 117: The Master (13)
Crowe:! ”
Douglas looked at the virtual screen in anguish
191 fleet, it's over!
From the beginning of the first phase of operations, this fleet has been on the most arduous combat mission. (While the other fleets were outflanking in a roundabout way, they were the ones who were flanking the fierce and powerful enemy head-on.) When the other fleets retreated, they were the same ones who pinned down the enemy's main forces at the end.
Douglas did not want to use the 191 fleet like this. This fleet, even if every soldier is an iron man, can't carry it like this. Moreover, Claudia's [Mermaid] is also in the First Fleet.
However, he had to entrust the most arduous tasks to this fleet again and again.
Who called them on the nineteenth group ship; ranked first, who called them the most reassuring and down-to-earth combat effectiveness of this fleet! Without them, how could they resist the attack of Humphrey's fleet?!
Prior to that, 191 ships; Already two-thirds of the battleships have remained forever on the road from the first theater of operations to this ~ road.
And now, the remaining third, also by the highly outflanked Humphrey fleet, cut off the back route.
In the asteroid belt, which could be seen through almost at a glance, there were no more of their comrades. More than a dozen remnants of warships were shrinking into a circular defensive formation, struggling to support them. Countless energy cannons, striking at their energy shields. Countless warplanes are tearing at their formations.
And the whole Nineteenth Group fleet to other warships. But they could only watch from afar.
"General Douglas!" The Chief of Staff pursed his lips. Trembling slightly. He knew Claudia's relationship with Douglas. He didn't want to bother Douglas anymore. But
"Do we need to order the fleet to turn?!"
It's a cruel question. Pang Mingjian felt it himself. It's a bit redundant to ask questions on your own. Right now. The fleet managed to break away from Humphrey's fleet under the cover of the 191st fleet. It's time to keep course. Use the 191 fleet to fight for a little time and space. Make a jump. Get out of here. And not according to that damn fat man's plan. Turning the ship. Attack Humphrey's fleet!
"Turn," Douglass chewed on the word in despair. His lips were blue. A pair of blue eyes. It's already bloodshot.
Until now. He couldn't see it in the asteroid belt where he had great hopes. What an ambush the fat man has! It's not just the asteroid belt. The surrounding airspace is 200,000 kilometers in diameter. Nor did it!
At first, he may have been skeptical, but now, he has completely lost hope.
Could it be that there is a jump passage here that no one knows about? Could it be that the fat man can lead a fleet and use his leap speed to crash directly into the asteroid belt and attack Humphrey's flagship?! What choice do you have but to watch the 191 fleet annihilate, and to lead the remaining warships out of this channel and abandon the Longbow Galaxy?!
The battleship Fiyan, who retreated to the side of the [Athena] aircraft carrier, slowly approached, and automatically formed a rallying formation.
On each battleship, there was no sound other than the sound of the navigator's data check and navigation instructions. All the Feiyang warriors, like their commanders, looked sadly at the glittering airspace and slowly tore off their hats.
That is the light of death, that is the comrades-in-arms after the break, using their lives to play the last war song.
I fought for more than 100 hours, tried my best, and finally lost! Such an ending is unacceptable to all the locals.
The loneliness endured in the two-month incubation, the sweat of desperate training, all in vain. The near-perfect sneak attack on the Blue Stone Star failed to achieve the strategic goal in the end! The time left for the Nineteenth Group Fleet is too short, let alone mastering the entire Longbow Galaxy, and even the supply and maintenance are only barely completed.
Everyone did their best. Every minute and every second of these more than 100 hours was spent in a fierce battle.
Blocking, strangling, dividing, counter-charge, ambush, sneak attack, encirclement, counter-encirclement have not personally experienced the earthlings, and they cannot imagine how cruel this more than 100-hour battle was. The crew on combat duty in each round was soaked with sweat when they left their posts. Even in the shadows of the Dead Land, even in the attack of countless energy cannons, exhausted, they can fall headlong into bed, unconscious.
However, Lady Luck, this time, did not side with Fei Yang. She swapped a perfect sneak attack for an uneven battle in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Everything, at the moment of the arrival of Humphrey's fleet, was doomed.
On the screen of the farsighted instrument, another ball of white light suddenly flashed. This dazzling ball of light engulfed the figures of all the surrounding warships, and it swelled and spread in all directions. Eventually, after leaving a glimmer of light for the asteroid in the distance, the contraction disappeared - it was the battleship [Jacob]. It was a ship that had been in service for ten years, participated in many regional conflicts, and had a brilliant record ~ honors.
And now, he's gone forever.
Sadness, pervading the entire fleet. The dim light shone on the soldiers gathered in the aisles and cabins, and the shadows were more than enough.
Many of the Feiyang warriors sat on their beds, covering their faces and weeping bitterly. There are many more, curled up in the corners, hiding their faces in their arms, and letting their tears run wild.
They can accept defeat, but they can't accept watching their comrades pay for their lives.
As a member of the invincible Feiyang fleet that crisscrosses the universe, they appear for the first time, and it turns out that they and this country will also be so ~ weak!
There is no more
I went to see the curtain.
Everyone can only wait for the final retreat in grief and silence, in the flickering light of the virtual light curtain.
Although they were afraid to hear that voice, even though the word would cut their hearts like a knife, they knew that sooner or later that command would come.
The sound of the current being turned on came from the loudspeaker.
Douglas trembled, clutched the microphone tightly, and said the word retreat, but no matter what, he couldn't spit it out.
He's so~ that fat man, but
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the amplification.
"God! What's that!! ”
Everyone was stunned. This is not Douglas's voice, this is Pang Mingjian's voice.
The sound was so loud that it = so suddenly. This was the chief of staff, who had always been steady and taciturn, and almost with all his strength, burst out of his chest with a cry of ecstasy, shock, and disbelief.
All the officers and soldiers of Feiyang, including Russ, subconsciously looked at the screen of the telescope.
The bright electronic lights in the command room, and the shadows of the officers and men, reflected on the portholes. It was a stunned figure, everyone's bloodshot eyes widened, and in their eyes, there was excitement, disbelief, fanaticism, and a trace of distraction. Blood rushed to their cheeks in an instant, their noses furrowed, their lips half-open trembling uncontrollably
I saw that on the huge virtual screen in front of me, a fighter plane that looked very similar to the [gladiator] of Salgadi, but was very different, like a silent ghost, leaned out of the black void. Immediately afterward, another one, another one, and another one, and on the wings of each fighter, there was a bandit mark painted with a winged eagle and a skull!
The energy cannons of these fighters are condensed with a trace of light. They have tail thrusters, bursting with long blue wakes. Each one of them suddenly appeared in the void after the same blue light. One fighter plane after another, like Santa Claus who is determined to scatter his wealth, in front of the children full of desire, touch one after another, and never too many surprises.
In just two seconds, 300 space fighters emerged one after another.
Their speed is like lightning across the night sky; Their formation is a triangular attack formation; And the location where they appeared was less than 3,000 kilometers away from Humphrey's flagship [Flying Feather]!
A second later, the first wave of energy cannons, streaked across the night sky and hit the body of a battleship guarding the rear of the [Flying Feather] aircraft carrier. The battleship's ground energy shield collapsed in an instant, and the whole thing broke, turning into a cloud of white light! After the white light dissipated, it was exposed to the ground in front of the fighter plane, and it was the [Flying Feather], which was completely sluggish, with its huge body!
Time, as if frozen at this moment!
"General Tian" Douglas's fingers almost sank into the metal guardrail.
"Is this a bandit?" Chief of Staff Pang Mingjian opened his mouth wide, and his eyes seemed to be out of focus: "That battle plan, is it real?" Are they really coming? ”
From despair to hope, even the toughest warriors of Feiyang could not withstand the shock of this moment. At the moment when the blood surged into the brain, and at the moment when the current climbed the back, the tears, like a flood from the broken embankment, rolled out, and could no longer be suppressed!
"Ahh A senior soldier of Feiyan was screaming frantically, his fists clenched, his face red, and his forehead and neck bruised. His screams continued for a full ten seconds, until all the air in his lungs was emptied in wanton tears!
"Left rudder! Let's go back! ”
As if hearing the frantic roar, Douglas's slightly hoarse voice came from the loudspeaker!
Without the slightest hesitation, all the Feiyang warriors rushed to their posts at the fastest speed in their lives. Many of them still don't understand what exactly happened. However, this is the command they want to hear the most. At this moment, their brains can no longer hold anything. At this moment, the strong battle ** is burning in their hearts, at this moment, they just want to go back, turn around, and fight hard!
In the starry sky in the distance, a sudden sneak attack continued
"Brothers, come on!" One of the bandit pilots smirked. His fighter plane, tumbling in the air, merged into a huge triangular attack formation.
The red light lit up, and he pressed the shot button on the joystick.
Immediately after the first wave of energy cannons, three hundred missiles, like schools of fish diving into the deep sea, broke away from the wings of the fighters, and after a brief pause, rushed forward. The night sky seemed to be lit up by the straight streamer at the tail of these three hundred space missiles.
Humphrey's fleet, like a hornet's nest that has been stabbed hard, is in a mess. The aircraft carrier [Feiyu] was desperately accelerating to turn, trying to get rid of the missiles behind it. The battleships on the surrounding sides were frantically approaching it. The fighters besieging the Feiyang fleet in the distance are also frantically returning home.
**********************************************************************************
On the battleship [Oscar], Captain Hoffman only felt that all the strength in his body had been drained. He stared blankly at the enemy ship out of the porthole, which had left its interception position, and could not believe all this.
Outside the window, sporadic energy cannon light streaked across the void from time to time. Not far from the flanks, the battleship [Mermaid] was already riddled with holes. The majestic ship broke a big hole, and the flying wing on the right side was completely broken
The bridge is also missing a large piece.
Hoffman was glad for the beautiful captain Claudia, if it wasn't for the space fighter that miraculously appeared on the flank of the enemy's flagship, even with the cover of the [Oscar], the [Mermaid] would not be able to survive the next round of strikes.
Who are they? Hoffman looked at the group of high-speed ground fighters uncontrollably, and looked at the Binarte battleships that hurriedly turned and retracted, and couldn't even care about moving to avoid position, and a wonderful answer came to mind.
That's God's angel!
"Captain, target locked, main gun charge complete!"
The loud voice brought Fuman back to his senses. He ~ stood up. At this moment, the power seemed to return to his body. He had never been more excited.
"Fire! Beat these to the ground! ”
When the energy cannon light swept through the universe and pierced into the bridge of a destroyer, Hoffman appeared, and the [Mermaid] not far from the window also shot out a straight white light, which was still biting the ground behind her just now ~ Binarte Cruiser.
Hahaha!
Hoffman: A burst of laughter. The ups and downs of life are too exciting and enjoyable. No matter who the bandit leader is, after this battle, you have to have a good drink with him!
***********************************************************************************
The defense system of the aircraft carrier Feiyu has been fully opened. Hundreds of interceptor missiles were released at the same time. The circular projectile at the top throws the decoy missile at two speeds per second. Turrets are scattered all over the body, and they are even more panicked and intertwined with fire.
Three hundred missiles.
Even in modern warfare, missiles have stepped down from the throne of long-range strikes because of their speed and attack power, but after all, this is a short distance of 2,800 kilometers! No one dares to take it lightly. Being hit by 300 missiles at the same time, two aircraft carriers will also be finished!
The interceptor missiles formed the first line of defense and were the first to meet the attacking missile group.
Two waves of missiles traveling in opposite directions became chaotic at a distance of 50 kilometers from each other. Intercepting missiles in a phalanx defensive ground in an explosive manner, turning into fireballs one after another at the moment when the missiles staggered.
About a third of the attacking missiles were intercepted. Some were directly hit, while others were intercepted by the dense array of explosions of the interceptor missile group. The remaining two-thirds of the attack missiles, after passing through arcs of different angles and sizes in the air, passed through the dense explosion ground fire masses, readjusted their course, and continued to approach their course.
Two seconds later, less than 60 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, sixteen decoy missiles exploded in the void.
The warheads scattered around, spinning, pulled out a blue web of light.
Hundreds of missiles did not have time to turn to dodge and attack the ground and crashed headlong.
The violent explosion turned into a cloud of white light that swept across the universe. Stacked clusters of light, layered on top of each other.
In the light of the explosion, dozens of breakthrough interceptor missiles, like arrows piercing the body of the flame giant, rushed towards the aircraft carrier, which was already close at hand.
The intertwined network of fire from the turrets did not have much impact on the last missile. Everyone only saw that the energy shield of the aircraft carrier was like a pond when a rainstorm came, one after another circles of light, rippling and connecting into a ripple.
Blue, light blue, light red, crimson When the last missile passed through the fire net and crashed into the plane, the layer of energy shield that seemed to never disappear completely collapsed in a rapid flash!
The universe, as if at this moment, has returned to its most primitive and chaotic state. Time stopped, and the picture froze. Everyone's mind is blank.
The day of war was violently pressed by a pair of invisible hands. The original angle of the ground was tilted, but at this moment, the balance was restored.
No one wins, no one loses!
The Binartes couldn't believe that their own flagship had been attacked at the very core when victory was in sight. A mothership that has lost its energy shield is no different from a woman who is tied up and naked. There is not an hour of time, and the energy mask is not ready to recover!
Luckily, the target of the maniacs was Humphrey. Only Humphrey has the ability to find a way out of such a dead end.
In that short period of more than ten seconds, the aircraft carrier Feiyu accelerated, turned, intercepted the missile, and released the decoy missile, as fast as it had been prepared a long time ago, which was unbelievable. If it weren't for this series of precise command actions, even if the ground defense level of the Flying Feather aircraft carrier was as high as level 20, it would not be possible to resist the saturation attack of 300 missiles.
Now, although the energy shield of the aircraft carrier has collapsed, the hull itself has not been fatally damaged. Humphrey's fleet, on the edge of a cliff, came to a halt!
As long as you can buy the aircraft carrier a few minutes. As long as the group of fighters besieging the Feiyang warships and ground can be rushed back in time, those sinister and cunning enemies will reap the consequences! No matter how their fighters ambush in this star field, no matter how close they were to victory, they will become the wreckage of this interstellar graveyard!
Startled out of a cold sweat, Humphrey's fleet began to shrink.
The warships escorting the aircraft carrier all crossed their bodies, interspersing between the space fighter group and the aircraft carrier at high speed. The aircraft carriers, on the other hand, retreated into the group under the cover of frigates. Countless ground-decoy missiles were scattered from the frigate. The collective defense network of aircraft carriers and ships has begun to take shape.
Binarte still has a chance, and Fijan is just as organic.
Although all the officers and men of the Ground Feiyang let out a sigh when the missile group of the bandit fighters finally defeated the enemy's aircraft carrier, in fact,
Everything was enough to make him ecstatic.
You know, just now, they could only watch their comrades in the back of the broken ground surrounded by the enemy and could not do anything. And now, they have a person who saves their comrades and even wins the battle!
The Humphrey flagship will be left unprotected by an energy shield for a full hour or something. Three hundred ghostly bandit fighters were already only 500 kilometers away from them. Even around it, a convoy of six destroyers, six cruisers and four battleships, as well as a dozen high-speed frigates, could not stop the infiltration of three hundred fighters.
With the fighter at a close range of 500 kilometers, Humphrey had absolutely no chance to change the flagship in a shuttle boat or a rescue pod. There are at least five minutes before his other warships and fighters come to the rescue, and the bandit fighters can do whatever they want.
Enough, enough!
Binarte's array was in disarray. The main fleet of Feiyang had also completed the turn before the overwhelmed Humphrey fleet, and at this moment, the front and rear teams became the vanguard, following behind the group of fighters that were the first to attack, and constantly accelerating. And at the edge of the asteroid belt, the more than ten Feiyang warships that were surrounded finally got time to breathe.
Compared to before, it is already the difference between heaven and hell.
Thanks to the bandit army, the Ninth Group Fleet finally has a chance to put down its weight in the sky of victory and defeat!
God bless the bandits, God bless!
***********************************************************************************
The group of bandit fighters has caught up with the group of frigates!
It was like a cloud of sand thrown by someone, hitting the oncoming wind. The group of fighters in the triangular attack formation suddenly scattered and separated after destroying two enemy cruisers with a volley of energy cannons.
They either swayed upward, or circled and rushed, or rushed straight, or rolled 300 fighters in an arc, and killed the aircraft carriers in the frigate group with 300 different trajectories.
"In the name of the above!"
One of the bandit pilots shouted and pulled the lever. The fighter plane was like a harrier that turned over and shot into the sky, and after several rolls in succession, it was able to dodge the attack of an interceptor missile and two energy cannon light belts, and then circled back, and the nose of the plane pressed down, and pierced into the gap of the frigate's dense firepower network.
The turret of the Binalt battleship was spinning rapidly, and the energy projectiles fired at a rapid rate were always trying to bite the not very advanced Salga fighter.
However, dozens of gunners with rotating turrets were disappointed. They were horrified to see that none of them could damage the plane. In the face of their ferocious firepower, this fighter can always use all kinds of unbelievable actions to evade. Its performance is even more advanced than their [Thunderbolt] space fighter.
"This is not a [gladiator]!" The bandit pilot pursed his lips triumphantly, his eyes shining. The fighter plane, under his control, was like a white horse passing through a gap, clinging to the enemy ship, passing through the energy cannon fire.
"This is the [Dragon Fighter] of the bandit army!"
The pilot shouted, slamming the trigger on the lever.
The power of the modified four-circuit engine has increased suddenly, and the fuselage is equipped with two high-speed energy cannons with a new fire control system, like two fire chains, creating a series of raindrop-like ripples on the energy shield of the enemy ship.
The energy shield of the battleship has already been red in the saturation attacks of countless fighters, and after the position of the bridge is hit in a concentrated manner, it is too late to transform, and the energy shield has not collapsed, and the armored hull has been damaged by the energy cannon.
After using ferocious firepower to directly smash the bridge and radar into a sieve full of holes, this madman-like fighter plane scurrying around in the fire network changed direction one after another, rolled over the stern, shook off the pursuing artillery fire, and flew towards the aircraft carrier.
At the same time that this fighter broke through the frigate's defense network, several other bandit fighters also passed through the frigate group and suddenly appeared beside the aircraft carrier. The nose gun, which had been prepared for a long time, burst into a dazzling flash of light in the rapid rotation. The flash crashed straight into the hull armor of the aircraft carrier. The flames are everywhere, and the debris is everywhere!
The aircraft carrier Flying Feather trembled in the dense artillery fire.
"I want to chop!" Humphrey stood on the shaky podium with an indifferent expression: "Dream! ”
Outside the window, a warplane flashed by. Behind it, six or seven chains of energy cannon light streaked across the night sky.
"Boom!"
A red fireball rose from the emergency take-off and landing deck in front of the mothership's bridge. It dissipates in a vacuum without oxygen. Only the cracks in the armor can still see a trace of magma-like fiery red.
"Feiyang fleet, have you completed the turn?!"
"It's done, it's approaching our fleet at high speed. Contact combat is expected after ten minutes. The intelligence officer on duty shouted.
"Good!" Humphrey took off his coat, sat down, put his legs on the command platform, looked coldly at the fighter planes flying outside the window, and said to himself: "No matter who you are, I have to thank you for giving me a chance to annihilate the Douglas fleet!" ”
Listening to Humphrey's cold voice, several staff officers beside him glanced at each other and wiped the cold sweat on their heads in unison.
They all know that their duke, the more dangerous the situation, the more scrappy they are.
This time, perhaps, was the most dangerous battle Humphrey had ever experienced.
Again, this time, it will be his toughest battle! …… I wanted to finish this battle in one chapter, but it seems that it can't be done
