Chapter 158: The Battle of Tangunesia (4)
"The main cannon is starting to recharge, ready for battle!"
Trotan gave a stern and loud order, which immediately stunned the command room. While the others didn't understand what their commanders were nervous about, the prestige that Trotan had cultivated over the years allowed them to carry out orders in the first place.
The fleet continued to approach at high speed, and Trotan's gaze did not deviate from the screen at all, staring at the fleet.
The more he looked at it, the more ugly Trotan's face became.
Some of the staff officers around him also seemed to see something, and they were no longer as relaxed as they were just now, but they were extremely serious.
"Did you figure it out?"
Trotan didn't say what he was counting, but he knew, and the staff officers knew what he was talking about.
A staff officer stood up from the light brain, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with difficulty: "It's calculated, the enemy's Wumu-class battleship needs about three minutes and forty-seven seconds to complete the turn." And that kind of unknown battleship needs ......"
He paused, not quite believing the results he was getting.
"How much is needed!" Trotan shouted.
"Two minutes and twenty-seven seconds!"
In an instant, there was silence in the command room, and almost all of the faces were a little sluggish.
"This ...... How is this possible? A staff officer tugged at the corners of his mouth and wanted to say something, but he knew that it was not a joke.
Suddenly, the officer in charge of radar detection shouted: "Attention, there are signs of firing from the enemy's main guns!" ”
This voice was like a thunderbolt striking Trotan, and he muttered: "340,000 kilometers, can their main guns hit so far?" ”
"Commander!" One of the adjutant hurriedly said: "What should we do?" ”
Trotan knew that this was not the time to be in a daze. He already understood that the performance of the opponent's warships was too advanced to surpass them. At that moment, he no longer hesitated, and immediately said: "Order all ships to speed up, even if the engines are overloaded, be sure to pull the distance between the two sides within two minutes within the range of the main gun!" ”
The order was issued, and the speed of the two fleets belonging to Galch increased again.
The captain of each battleship understood that the range of the opponent's main guns was superior to theirs. If they are still slowly soaring at this time, it means that they can only be beaten passively, and cannot attack each other. At the moment, one battleship after another is desperately moving forward, and almost all the ships are overloaded with engines. Although this will damage the life of the engine, but compared with your own life, the life of the engine can be regarded as life?
It's just that they are destined to be tragic in this competition of technology.
Thirty seconds later, the officers in charge of radar detection on each battleship discovered that a huge energy response was being generated not far from the position of the enemy fleet.
This is a sign that the main gun is about to be fired.
"Random evasion by each ship!"
When the enemy's main gun is fired, it must be a battleship that has locked onto its side. However, no one knows which one is locked, and in this case, only by performing manual disorderly evasion maneuvers can it be possible to make the vital parts of the battleship miss the enemy's main gun. As long as it is not a vital part that is hit, there is no danger.
Everyone, staring nervously at the screen, waiting for the enemy's judgment.
Suddenly, the starry sky in the distance suddenly lit up, and from the front of the neatly arranged fleet, a dazzling white light shone.
"Prepare for defense!" The captain yelled.
Everyone on the ship quickly fixed themselves to their seats, and some special vital parts and cabins lowered their heavy alloy plates. These alloy plates will affect the heat dissipation, conduction, signal and other functions of the components, and they are usually put away. And now, they all fall to protect the parts, and the resistance to blows against the parts has increased a lot.
Countless beams of light pierced the starry sky in an instant.
With a distance of 300,000 kilometers, it only takes a second. In such a short period of time, maybe those innate masters who piloted mecha could dodge, but it was impossible to dodge the bulky battleship.
Suddenly, almost everyone felt a shock.
"Quickly inspect the damage!" The captain of a battleship immediately shouted. The ship's optical brain will automatically calculate the damage and isolate and abandon the damaged compartment to prevent the loss from further expanding. After shouting, the light brain had already finished calculating in an instant, he glanced at the screen, and said with relief: "Fortunately, only the C12-20 area on the side has been attacked. But then, his expression changed abruptly, as he noticed that the energy fired by the enemy's main guns did not dissipate after hitting the side area, but continued to destroy the interior of the battleship. And the rear of the C12-20 area is where the energy source of the main gun is stored. What made him even more heartbroken was that he had already ordered the main cannon to be charged a few minutes earlier. So at this time, the energy of the main gun is surging without the slightest loss.
"They must have done it on purpose."
As soon as the thought crossed the captain's mind, he felt a sudden heat rise around him, and then he knew nothing.
He had been turned into air currents by the extreme heat, and scattered in all directions, along with the heat-resistant wreckage of the battleship.
In just one round of artillery attacks, at least 4,000 warships were destroyed!
More than 1,700 warships have lost their combat capability and can only drift in space.
Looking at the damage report on the screen, Trotan's face turned extremely pale. Such a loss is too great, and this is just a volley from the opponent. Moreover, in no more than ten minutes, he will have a second volley from the enemy.
At this time, the fleets of the two sides were moving opposite each other. Even if he wanted to run, he wouldn't have a chance.
Still, Trotan didn't lose heart.
"Since you have the technical advantage, then, let's fight the commander's combat ability!"
He muttered to himself, and immediately, one command after another was sent, and in an instant, it was transmitted to every battleship.
The formation of the Garkh fleet began to change slowly, but the fleet did not transform into other formations, but formed more than twenty small attack formations with a thousand warships as a combat unit. This approach can greatly improve the attack efficiency of the fleet, and among the countless examples of defeating the strong with the weak, this method is the most chosen.
But correspondingly, it requires a high command ability of the commander.
They need to accurately grasp the situation on the battlefield, clearly understand the specific capabilities and positions of each combat unit, have a keen sense of smell to judge the direction of the enemy fleet, and have the ability to guess the thoughts of the enemy's commander. In addition to that, the terrain, environment, morale, situation, and so on, are all things to consider.
Trotan knew very well that with the current situation, if he wanted to win this battle, he had to use this method.
