Chapter 158: The Battle of Tangunisia (9)
At the end of the passage, the Chutang fleet finally completed the turn before the Hyde fleet entered the firing range. The passage was so narrow that out of 40,000 warships, less than 2,000 could attack. And this is because of Xu Tianyuan's perverted command ability, as well as the rich piloting experience of each captain, the distance between each battleship is extremely close. From a distance, there were almost no gaps between the battleships.
At the forefront were the entire First Squadron of the First Fleet, which had the strongest combat effectiveness in this fleet, and a part of the Second Squadron.
These two detachments had not played against the Garkh fleet before, all the ammunition was fully charged, and the hull was barely damaged. Therefore, Xu Tianyuan gave them the most important task. With such close proximity between battleships and battleships, they simply could not hide from the enemy's main artillery bombardment.
Therefore, this battle is not fancy, for Xu Tianyuan, there is no fancy, it is completely a back-and-forth shooting!
In the fleet, most of the people were still talking and laughing happily, without the slightest sense of crisis. However, some people noticed something from this strange terrain and Xu Tianyuan's arrangement, and they were a little flustered. However, they were not afraid, before coming to the Northern Universe, they had already written a suicide note and passed through the golden passage with the consciousness of mortality. Perhaps, dying on the battlefield is the fate of these soldiers.
The fleet of the Hyde Kingdom is getting closer and closer, and they also have information about this passage, so they naturally know that this is a dead end.
However, the commander of this fleet did not choose to encircle outside the passage, but personally led a large army into the passage. Many people felt that this Chutang fleet seemed to be at the end of the road, and planned to choose this place as their burial place. While laughing at the other party's inadequacy, many people also admired the Chutang fleet and their commander very much, after all, only in such a narrow place can the difference in the number of warships be compensated. Whether it is the Chu-Tang fleet or the Haide fleet, there will not be more than 2,000 warships attacking at the same time, so the Chu-Tang fleet, which far surpasses the opponent in terms of quality and technology, has an advantage.
But the commander of the Hyde fleet was not afraid, and at the same time was ready to sacrifice.
The Hyde fleet began to slow down, and the front ships glowed blue, indicating that the main guns were beginning to charge. The speed of these warships did not decrease in the slightest, but was a little faster, and it seemed that they had already known that their warships were inferior to each other in the range of their main guns, and they could only close the distance by accelerating.
The distance between the two sides is closer, closer.
Suddenly, two thousand dazzling pillars of white light shot out from the end of the passage and bombarded the forward warships of the Hyde fleet. In an instant, violent explosions occurred one after another, and the battleships that were hit burst out with huge energy, countless light clusters shone, and the shock wave generated by the explosion was visible to the naked eye, emitting in circles, making the meteorites at both ends of the passage swing uneasily.
One salvo killed at least more than 1,300 ships of the Hyde fleet.
It was the most advanced Longxiao-class battleships of the Chu Tang fleet that launched the attack, and the passage was so narrow that they could hardly even take aim, and they could easily lock on to those battleships that could not dodge, so as to deliver the strongest blow.
"The first unit torpedoes attack, after forty seconds retreats according to the predetermined plan, and the second unit advances!"
The 1st and part of the 2nd Squadron, which had completed the main gun fire, began to slowly retreat according to the predetermined tactics, and the remaining 2nd and 3rd Squadron battleships, which had already been prepared, began to move forward. This kind of practice is extremely dangerous in this kind of place, the battleships that launched the attack before are only less than a thousand meters away from each other, and a Longxiao-class battleship is more than three hundred meters wide, and the slightest carelessness may hit the hull of those retreating battleships.
However, the advanced technology, precise positioning, stable engine, and rich driving experience of the captains and pilots of the dragon Xiao class made the huge space battleship like a precision machine, skillfully completing the retreat and forward.
The retreating fleet continued to retreat, and after successively withdrawing to the fifth combat unit, it quickly connected with the transport ships waiting here to replenish energy and ammunition.
The Chutang fleet could easily accomplish all of this without being attacked by the enemy.
It's not that the Hydes don't want to hit them, but they can't attack......
More than 1,000 warships that had been destroyed before exploded violently, and most of the wreckage of the battleships after the explosion was scattered in the passage, except for some of them that were caught in the asteroid belt. There are no more than two hundred surviving battleships, not to mention that they have not yet entered the range of the main gun, even if they do, the damage caused by the attack of two hundred warships to the enemy is almost like tickling for the extremely defensive Longxiao-class battleship.
The Sixteen-Nation Alliance had tested in the early battles with the Chutang fleet, and the kind of cool and beautiful Longxiao battleship needed at least four rounds of main gun fire to cause some minor injuries such as armor falling off, and more than seven main gun shots, and it was possible to damage the enemy if the landing point was not far apart. And if you want to destroy, unless you hit the engine with great luck, you need at least ten or more main artillery bombardments.
If two hundred warships go up, I am afraid that the best case scenario is only to destroy seven or eight warships. After all, it is difficult to have more than ten warships lock on to an enemy ship at the same time when the surroundings are full of wreckage.
However, the commander of the Hyde fleet was also a very courageous man.
Immediately, the battleships that followed immediately after did not care about the wreckage that still had a little kinetic energy, and rushed straight up, ready to join the two hundred battleships.
The wreckage of the battleship slammed into the wreckage, and although it did not cause any serious damage to the outer armor, it greatly affected the angle of navigation of the battleship and their viewing horizon. When these battleships reached the front after passing through layers of obstacles, they were stunned to find that the Chu Tang battleships that had just shot had already withdrawn, and the two thousand Longxiao-class battleships with a rich white light in the front stage were staring at them viciously.
Countless streaks of white light filled the narrow passage, once again destroying the Hyde battleship that had just stepped onto the battlefield.
Between the two sides in the passage, countless warship wrecks floated among them, making the vision in front of the Hyde fleet very poor. Coupled with the radiation generated by the explosion, the various rays carried by the asteroid belt, and the electromagnetic interference emitted by the Chu Tang fleet, it was already difficult for them to observe what the Chu Tang fleet that was blocked by them at the end of the passage was doing.
It is clear that the commander of that Hyde fleet is not an idiot.
The result of being bombarded by the enemy's main artillery twice made him realize that it was obviously not possible to go on like this.
The hundreds of battleships that survived the wreckage slowly retreated, and they did not send any more battleships to die. A few minutes later, countless missiles and torpedoes of various types were ejected densely, accurately bombarding the wreckage. After the dense explosion, a large piece of debris was shattered, and it was difficult to find a wreckage more than fifty meters long in space, and in addition, more than half of the wreckage was driven by the kinetic energy generated by the explosion and floated into the nearby asteroid belt.
The passage finally became a little clearer, but the Hyde fleet did not send any more warships.
Under the circumstance that the range of the main guns is inferior to that of the opponent, and under the enemy's precise mechanical arrangement, sending a fleet in such a narrow place is a complete manifestation of death.
It is clear that the current situation stumped the commander of the Hyde fleet.
They didn't move forward until a better solution was found.
However, their enemies obviously won't let them think about a solution indifferently here. After the Haide fleet stopped attacking, the Chutang fleet moved, and two thousand warships slowly moved forward, their speed was not fast, but they were like a mighty lion king, slowly approaching their prey with steady steps.
The front end of the Hyde fleet wanted to retreat, but the passage was too narrow for them to retreat or dodge.
Some of the battleships saw it badly and forcibly ordered the battleships to move backwards. But they obviously did not have the close cooperation of the Chu and Tang fleets, and for a while, dozens of warships collided with each other and could not move, completely blocking the front section of the passage.
The advancing Chu-Tang fleet stopped, their position was just outside the range of the Hyde battleship, but it was within the range of the Chu-Tang fleet.
Countless white rays of light pierced the starry sky, causing the Hyde fleet to lose thousands of warships once again.
At this time, the long-lost communicator rang again, and a document was sent to Xu Tianyuan's light brain out of nowhere. After reading it, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
