Chapter 45: Hit Me
Heaven to hell, but only in a few minutes.
How did the destroyers of the Binalt Empire appear here?
And how did the cruiser of the Desik Empire pass through a small jump point that even a larger merchant ship could not pass through?
Why did Western put so much effort into a secret mission to visit Chacna?
All kinds of questions came to the minds of everyone in the special fleet. Everything that is happening in front of you is strange no matter how you look at it.
But now is not the time to find out!
"These bastards!" Chekov's hand almost sank into the hard wooden armrest of the command seat. The fingertips are whitish from extreme force.
As the fat man who couldn't speak could speak, it was a conspiracy, a well-planned ambush! The role of the twenty pirate ships is to entangle the special fleet, so that the Lelei special fleet cannot retreat into the obstacle area as soon as the ambush of the Western fleet is launched.
The main gun muzzles of the three Binarte Imperial destroyers that jumped out first were already faintly visible like wires of ionized sparks wandering and entwining. They are accumulating energy and ready to strike a shocking blow. And behind them, the hull of the huge cruiser has gradually flashed out.
The Kars Lily was already entangled in another destroyer and an armed merchant ship that had suddenly approached. The old [Phoenix] destroyer, which was originally the prey, also began to turn around on the left hand under the cover of two torpedo boats.
If [Berlan Rose] does not now plunge directly into the front of the [Kars Lily] flank, help it cut off the enemy's entanglement. Well, the flagship carrying the entire secret mission and the hope of Leray's future. I can't even dodge the first wave of attacks!
But! If you rush to the ground...... Waiting for the end of the hundreds of officers and crew members of the [Bolan Rose] is to become the dust of the universe!
After the high-speed charge, not to mention that the [Blue Rose] will definitely not be able to break away before the salvo of the Western Fleet, even if it forcibly turns around, those pirates in front of it can send this ship to hell.
This truth is not only understood by Chekov. The crew in the main control room understood, and even Helen understood!
The whole ship was silent, except for the fat man howling, "Rush up!" Idiot, do you want to see everyone on the flagship die? Fuck your mother Navigator No. 1, what are you still doing in a daze, rush up to Lao Tzu! ”
…………………………………………
"It was a one, though not perfect. But an ambush that ended well. ”
Paulson rested his chin in his hand and stared leisurely at the virtual screen of the main console. For this ambush operation ordered by Sober himself, the First Combined Fleet of the Binarte Empire and the Naga Federation stationed in Desik has been preparing for nearly a month.
From the Federation of Leray to the Republic of Chakna, there are three shipping lanes in addition to the main shipping lanes that have been blocked. And these three waterways, without exception, are all small jump point channels that only destroyer-class ships are allowed to enter and exit.
For this, the combined fleet sent a total of nine destroyers, and. Through the Ministry of Intelligence, all the pirate warships in this star field controlled by the Empire were gathered. Swap into a fleet soldier from the Desic Empire and prepare for this ambush posing as a pirate.
And three old cruisers of the Desik Empire. It was disassembled. They are loaded separately on tugboats and assembled in the fairway using the docks of tugboats and pirates.
The project is huge!
After the end of this mission. These three cruisers, as well as the six Phoenix's destroyers that are about to be scrapped, will be paid by the pirates to disrupt the unconventional supply routes of the Fiji Alliance. And the Desik Empire will also receive a new type of battleship from the Binalt Empire as compensation.
Perhaps the least cost-effective is the Binarte Empire, the initiator of the operation. Although I don't understand why Sober is so interested in an ordinary Colonel Lelei that he is so laborious, however, as the captain of the first detachment of the combined fleet and the executor of the ambush operation, Paulson understands that he needs to do the ground, just obey!
In order to plan foolproof, Paulson carefully selected ambush locations for three routes! The same terrain, the same way of fighting. The duty of the fake pirates is not to force them out of the obstacle area, as the Leray people guessed, but only to entangle them, so that the main fleet that jumped out can complete the encirclement, and finally, bring the fat man or the whole fleet back!
The fake pirates of the Desik Empire are doing a decent job. After all, it is a regular army, not as loose as pirates. Be more resolute in executing your plan. Now, Leray's small fleet has been entangled by them.
Judging by the intercepted communication signals, it is the flagship of the Lelei fleet that is caught in the midst of heavy encirclement! That fat man, it should be on this flagship, right?
Paulson pressed the communicator: "Inform all warships that the main guns are kept at full energy and deterred, and they are moving at full speed." After the encirclement is completed, send a signal ordering the Le Lei fleet to surrender, and we will guarantee the safety of their lives. Space Mech Squadrons are ready to break armor at any time. ”
………………………………
"Radar is jammed, communications are jammed! Lost contact with the fleet. ”
"The ship has been locked."
"The tail compartment was damaged, the intensity of the jet stream dropped by 20 percent, and it is being repaired. Expect to take twenty minutes. ”
In the criss-crossing clusters of energy cannon light, bad news appeared on the Kars Lily.
The battleship shook violently again, and two energy cannons hit the port side of the battleship in succession. Although it was only a shell fired from a small-caliber rotating turret, it was also a great burden on the battleship's already precarious energy shield.
This was the most dangerous moment in Leonid's life. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid that he would end Flavio's voyage here!
In that case, even if he died, Leonid would not forgive himself.
"How long will it take to charge the main gun) On the head, green tendons are winding like earthworms.
"Four minutes!"
"Cancel the main gun charging, and the protective shield and the main thruster power distribution are both full.
| The entire fleet would have been left in a desperate situation because of his previous order to pursue.
"Captain! The Rose of the Blue has rushed up! The observer in front of the main console suddenly shouted.
"What?!" Leonid jumped, and Vice President Flavio moved faster than him, and the short old man rushed to the main console with a single step.
"They called the light signal! Let's right-hand rudder 1900,
"1900 ticks? They want to intersperse in front of us
"They're accelerating! Oh. Oh my! ”
Under the gaze of hundreds of officers and soldiers of the [Castle Lily], which had been following behind, the [Blue Rose], which was originally in the most advantageous position to leave the battlefield, suddenly accelerated. Huge orange-red jet stream at the tail. Driven by missile-like warships. In a high-spirited gesture of decisive death. Jumped over the port side of the Castlelily and got stuck in front of the pirate fleet.
"[Blue Rose] signal...... Get out of here, see you Chuckner. Suddenly, the observer burst into tears.
"Right rudder 1900 ticks...", Leonid stumbled down
In the entire main control room, there was a dead silence.
"Right rudder 1900 ticks." The master control navigator gritted his teeth. The steering thrusters were activated. Under the action of two thrusters in the bow of the ship. The "Castlelily" was precisely turned to the 1900 tick.
The Blue Rose. Right behind them. This sister ship of the [Castlelily]. It's using its body. Stop the pirate fleet from attacking like a tidal wave. The blue energy shield of the ship's hull flickered, and every energy cannon on the ship fired.
"Accelerate the disengagement!" It was Vice President Flavio who gave the order. The old man covered his face with trembling hands.
Boswell, who had been standing behind the podium, opened his mouth. What do you want to say. But after all, he didn't make a sound, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the command platform.
"Fat man...... Still on that battleship. ”
Steering thruster flameout...... The main thruster jet port is fully open...... Full power distribution......
There was a second of stagnation before the thruster jets burst out. Everyone on the Castle Lily stared blankly at the virtual screen. Outside the porthole, the battleship was as majestic as a breakwater in the midst of the enemy group.
The spout suddenly lit up, and the blue earth ion jet turned orange-red......
A few seconds later, the [Blue Rose]. It's become a small dot. There is only criss-cross energy cannon light. Glimpses.
……………………
"The cruiser stays, and the others follow me to catch up!" Paulson ripped off the tightly buttoned collar of his uniform and roared. He didn't expect it. In the case that the fleet is already close to the Lelei fleet. The prey will slip away!
That damn Lelei destroyer. Didn't they see it. In front of them, have the main guns of the three Binarte Empire's [Wild Current]-class destroyers and one Desik [Polaris]-class cruiser been fully charged? Under such deterrence. How dare they use their bodies in the middle of the channel!
Paulsen could only give the order to pursue!
If this operation fails, he can't imagine what kind of punishment he will receive! What Alejandro said when he delivered the order, Paulson still has some chills when he thinks about it.
The intelligence department, which used extremely valuable resources, combined fleets, and even postponed the timetable for Desik to send troops to the little Pyrenees for this operation, spending such a large price and arranging planning for a whole month, just to catch one person!
One can imagine how Sauber was bound to win this man. If, in the case of almost having arrived, let people go, then you still wipe your neck!
How did the destroyer, which was at the end of the road, rush up? They only need to slow down for a minute, and the operation will be over!
"Faster, faster!!"
Amid Paulson's roar, the Western fleet, which had maintained its inertia at the end of the jump, chased straight after the [Castlelily], which had fled to the obstacle area, like a pack of hungry wolves. As long as they don't escape the radar surveillance, they have the confidence to hold the prey that slipped away in their mouths again!
The three [Wild Current] destroyers of the Binalte Empire were by no means comparable to the ordinary Lelei destroyer in the shape of a teardrop. Whether it's electronics, radar, firepower or speed!
………………………………………………
When [Blue Rose] replaces the flagship. When the light signal for free retreat is played. Of the six frigates, there are already only three left.
Ignore the [Blue Rose] signal. Scarred of them. Still dodging quickly in the pirate ship group, firing cannons. One of them, has lost the ability to sail. The other two ships are desperately trying to get closer to the [Blue Rose].
Helen bit her lip and leaned her body against the railing of the command platform. In the midst of the violent shaking of the battleship, try to maintain balance. She didn't expect that her life would come to an end so soon. This is not a movie. This is the harsh reality.
"Now ......" Chekov straightened his clothes. He said in a hoarse voice, "Let's pray." ”
In silence. He turned around and stretched out his hand to the fat man: "Colonel Tian, it's a pleasure to meet you." I believe that next time, I can make such a decision more decisively than you. ”
"Hmm......" The fat man who shook hands with Chekov was obviously a little absent-minded: "I said, now we should run away, right?" ”
"Escape?" Chekov smiled wryly and looked back at the huge virtual screen of the main console, in all directions. All are enemy ships. Two destroyers, two armed merchant ships and three torpedo boats. Blocked in almost every direction.
AND THAT ONE HAS A 2000MM CALIBER MAIN GUN AND SIX 800MM CALIBER SECONDARY GUNS. They are all rotating turret [Polaris] cruisers. It has already floated condescendingly in the airspace directly in front of the [Blue Rose].
"How do you escape?" Chekov felt that he had no strength to even smile wryly. The crew members who were present. It's also gloomy.
"Crash into the destroyer in front of us." The fat man blinked his eyes and said very cautiously: "Use the bow of our ship to hit its stern!" As long as it gets out of control for a while, we have a chance to complete the power preparation under the cruiser's body. The strength of our shield. And for a while. By the time the cruiser turned back, we had gone far. ”
"Bumped into?" Everyone was taken aback by the fat man's intentions.
Chekov exclaimed: "Are you crazy? Hit at that high speed. We're probably going to crash it outright. Not to mention whether it can crash into a destroyer, even if it does. We were torn to shreds before we could re-prepare the power. ”
"I am sure of the ship's ground structure, as long as the impact speed does not exceed ten kilometers per second, we will hurt the bow of the ship at most!" The fat man said categorically: "You don't have to worry about this. You just have to tell me. How many minutes does it take to get ready for power? ”
"Six minutes!" Chekov, who was very familiar with his own battleships, did not hesitate to say the answer.
"What if I told you, activate the backup power compartment. This time only takes three minutes. "The fat man finally has a chance to prove his masterpiece. I can't help but feel a little triumphant. "Do you think we can run away?" ”
"Three minutes?" Chekov was stunned. As a veteran of almost two decades of service in the Space Fleet. He is familiar with all kinds of ships. No matter what kind of ship, the power is ready. It's all very time-consuming.
Although in the country of Leray, the [Blue Rose] is considered the latest destroyer, in terms of speed. More advantages than those large warships. However, it is necessary to complete the power preparation. It also takes six minutes. This is already the fastest speed of any battleship.
But. This fat man actually said that he modified the power compartment. It only takes three minutes to get ready for power!
"It can't be!" Chekov said categorically.
"Fart!" The fat man was furious: "You insulted me in every way just now, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" You dare to question my technology now! I say three minutes is three minutes! ”
"How ...... this?"
Chekov shook his head, and before he finished speaking, he was dragged down from the command seat by the fat man by the collar: "Are you blind? Take a good look at the data on your console yourself! From the beginning to the present, if I hadn't helped modify the main gun charging system and energy shield generation system, do you think this broken ship would have survived until now? ……”
"Data?" Chekov was stunned and looked at the console. Just one glance, he froze. Not only him, but all the crew members in front of the main console, who curiously glanced at the data, were stunned.
"Stay with me, take a good look!" The fat man pushed Chekov away and pressed the communicator: "Bo Lan Mingui, I am Tian Xingjian, now under my command, the power compartment is switched to backup power, and after the collision is turned off, the power preparation will be carried out immediately, the main gun energy will be turned off, and all personnel will be evacuated from the bow of the ship." The bow compartment is sealed. ”
"How to ......" The power compartment and the main gun compartment were obviously confused by the sudden command.
Seeing the fat man glaring at him, Chekov, who had just recovered from the string of statistics on the console, hurriedly said on the communicator: "Execution." ”
"Yes!"
"The cruiser Desik sent a signal requesting a call." In front of the main console, the communications officer took off the headset on the ground.
"Connected." The fat man was addicted to the captain: "Let me hear what he wants to say." ”
On the virtual communication screen, a picture of Rear Admiral De Sick appeared: "Destroyer Lelei, now, I order you to immediately turn off the ship's engines and surrender, and stop all resistance." Otherwise......"
"Can I surrender?" As soon as he heard this, the fat man's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "It's not that it's not negotiable......
After a glance, he saw the crew around him, including the woman carrying the camera beside him, with a bad face. The fat man immediately rushed to finish his sentence before Major General Desik finished speaking, and Chekov angrily said at the same time: "Fart! ”
Chekov scolded and closed his mouth, but the fat man did not relent: "Spit on your saliva!" As she spoke, she snorted like a flower, half of which was sprinkled through the virtual screen on the bulkhead behind her. The other half fell on his own.
Looking at the fat man who was hurriedly wiping his saliva, the entire main control room was silent. Especially Helen, who was standing on the side and insisted on shooting, felt that her head was too big. When such a record is broadcast, it is not known whether the people of Le Ray will collectively lose hope for victory in the war.
In the camera, the fat man was wiping the saliva on the side of his mouth while saying loudly: "Pilot, 5 degrees on the right rudder, hit me!" ”
With the fat man's order, the [Blue Rose], like a sharp arrow off the string, suddenly accelerated and crashed into the tail of an old [Phoenix] destroyer that was diagonally in front of him.
This crazy move was beyond the expectations of all the besiegers.
Especially the captain of an old destroyer in front of the [Berlan Rose]. He had been paying close attention and calculating the charging time of the main gun of the Lelei destroyer, which was surprisingly powerful and fired its main gun nearly a third faster than that of an ordinary destroyer.
In his opinion, as long as he occupied this position, with a cruiser by his side, the Lelei had no choice but to surrender. Their main gun, which had been fired just two minutes earlier. It takes a few minutes to rebuild energy. During this time, enough space mechs for the cruiser broke into the interior of the Leray destroyer.
Even if the Leray fired another main gun, it would be nothing. After all, although [Phoenix] is a little older, the shield is just as useful. Judging from the current situation of the shield, taking a shot is not enough to kill.
However, what he didn't expect was that this Lelei destroyer didn't use the main gun at all, but directly collided with it!
These Lerays are crazy!
In space, after the battleship accelerates with all its might, the speed of tens or hundreds of kilometers per second, what will be the consequences of colliding together, don't these Lelei people know?
They want to die together?!
