The first victim of this encounter appeared.

In full view, the armor and compartments of the 013 ship's hull failed to do anything, and the power compartment was detonated by a cannon. In the earth-shattering fireball, the hull of the ship was broken into two, lost all buoyancy, fell from a height of several hundred meters, and disintegrated in the air before it landed, and the whole ship, including the marines on board, totaled more than 600 people, and none of them survived.

This tragic scene was imprinted in the eyes of everyone, and even Princess Sally, who was the most arrogant, stopped playing at this time, and looked at Qin Shouzhuo with some confusion. The Babia Mercenary Regiment is a young force, and about half of it is recruited, and because most of the human territories in the south are relatively stable, there are not many veterans who have seen blood, but they are a little frightened when they see the scene just now.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Shouzhuo, and the transport fleet also gave up continuing to approach the enemy fleet and began to retreat to open up the distance. Qin Shou's face sank like water, when he was in the Federation, he led troops to fight against various alien races in the alien planet, and it was not uncommon for a company of more than 100 people to be beaten up in one photo, and he had already trained a hard-hearted heart, and he was hesitating for the new recruits in his hands.

Can these soldiers, who have never seen much death, really put life and death out of the way? Can they withstand bitter and vicious battles? I kept asking myself in my heart, and the answer was: I don't know.

How do you know without giving it a try.

Looking away from the wreckage of the No. 013 ship, Qin Shou shouted angrily: "Return to their respective posts and continue to fight!!"

The sound of running rattled and the soldiers rushed to their posts, and the new equipment and more efficient artillery servos gave them greater efficiency, and in a short time, the Baron Baron was the first to fire angrily. Four ballistics appeared in the sky, piercing through the enemy fleet's phalanx, and the shot had a slight sense of revenge, and it was a miraculous hit with two shots, triggering two violent explosions.

"The enemy's No. 3 ship broke the !!"

Listening to the lookout's return, the corners of Qin Shouchou's mouth turned up slightly, and he finally hit, and two shots at a time, through Victoria's screen zoom function, Qin Shouzhuo could clearly see that the hull and deck of the enemy's No. 3 ship had burst open, and another shot could kill her! But before continuing the attack, there were more important things to do.

"Order: The transport fleet will put down the carrying marines, and all the empty transport ships will form a longitudinal compound formation, keep a distance of 800 meters from the enemy ships, and pin down. Commander Herald: Accelerate to the limit, let's go around in front of them!"

"Understood!"

Having given up the forced climb, the Baron Baron began to accelerate with all its might, while slowly approaching the enemy fleet, which was clearly in the same direction, and began to shift northward. The 002, 011, 012, and 014 ships in the transport fleet began to retreat, ready to find a place to put down the marines, and the 003 and 004 ships that had previously put down the marines to participate in the battle until the 010 ships were in an empty state at this time, and they were slowly meeting and forming a new battle formation.

The Baron Babia must make more contributions to the victory, otherwise even if the 001 ship returns from repair, there will only be 14 transport ships on Qin Shouzhuo's side. Although there are two more ships than the other side in terms of numbers, they are not the main battle ships after all, and they suffer too much in terms of firepower, defense, and maneuver. The 14 transport ships on Qin Shouzhuo's side can concentrate 42 medium-sized magic cannons, while the opponent has 96, not to mention the gap in fire rate and fire control.

Fortunately, the Baron Barbia is a test ship, using many of the latest technologies and designs, and is very good at maneuvering. If these don't have proven technology and design, they're not a problem.

The 003~010 ship, which had unloaded all the marines and a large amount of supplies, was significantly more mobile and flexible than the previous transport ships, and its speed was also faster, and it quickly occupied the high altitude. As the altitude climbs, the mountain breeze gradually disappears and is replaced by the monsoon wind in the sky. The warm and humid air flow from the north in summer dominated the battlefield, and the Qin Shouzhuo fleet on the north side of the battlefield automatically occupied the downwind outlet, at least gaining a certain advantage in the wind direction.

The formations of the two sides gradually approached, and suddenly the enemy's No. 3 ship began to turn southward, and its speed slowed down, and it seemed that the damage just now was still too heavy, and it could not withstand the continuous and strong monsoon wind at high altitude, and was forced to break away from the formation. This is exciting good news for Qin Shouzhuo, a ship leaving the team is equivalent to the opponent's loss of 8 guns of firepower, plus the loss of firepower of the first and fourth ships that were damaged before, the enemy fleet still has 82 guns left, although this gap is still so big that it is scary to death, but the situation is better after all.

The formations of both sides slowly approached the effective range of 800 meters, and the battle of 8 against 11 began. The leader of the 003 ship raised the command flag and began to unify the fleet, her captain had a thorough understanding of the gap between the enemy and the enemy and the tasks she should undertake, and saw that the opponent's route was biased to the north, and looked like she was ready for melee hand-to-hand ♂ combat, so she quickly ordered her own course to be pulled to the north, keeping a distance, and never touching.

The task of the transport fleet is very clear, that is, to attract firepower, constantly contact the opponent, continue to exchange fire, and keep the pressure on the opponent, but the crossfire mode should be based on dodging to save itself to the greatest extent. The task of the transport fleet is to attract the attention of the other side, and the effective firepower output is given to the Baron Baron.

Because it is impossible to concentrate fire on one target in the whole fleet at the limit distance, the order of engagement is set as follows: the two vertical ships concentrate fire to attack the one in the opposite row, that is: the 003 and 004 ships concentrate on attacking the enemy's No. 1 ship, and the 005 and 006 ships concentrate on attacking the enemy's No. 3 ship, but the No. 3 ship has already retreated, and the position is changed from the top of the No. 5 ship, so the target of the fire is changed to the No. 5 ship. With the transport fleet as the main fleet and the Baron Baron as the guerrilla fleet, taking advantage of the speed advantage that is not limited by the wind direction, the T-shaped prefix is forcibly grabbed, and the target is ready to be fired at close range.

4 heavy magic cannons, no one can stand it, but on the other hand, as long as you don't get beaten, it doesn't matter how many heavy cannons there are. According to the law of conservation of character, after the first three salvos were all hits, it seems that the Baron Babia's accumulated character has been exhausted, from low altitude to high altitude, from a distance of 1000 meters to a distance of 800 meters, until the main fleet and the opponent formed a battle line combat situation, Baron Babya simply failed to hit another shot.

Of course, there are reasons why the course, speed, and altitude of both sides are changing dramatically, but it also highlights the lack of long-range observation technology of artillery in this era. Qin Shouclum's regret was that he had nothing to think about for the time being, so he could only order to approach the effective range of the enemy's medium-sized magic cannon at 800 meters, rely on the Baron Babia's powerful maneuverability, try his best to dodge the attacks that might hit him, and then bully them with a heavy magic cannon.

Therefore, caliber is justice.

A large cut ahead of the main fleet, so that the Baron Babia dared to get closer to the enemy fleet, at this time the four main guns had been pointed at the enemy No. 1 ship, the gun captain was lying behind the rangefinder, sweating profusely observing, the previous dozen rounds of attacks did not hit, so that he was under heavy pressure, although neither the captain nor Qin Shouzhuo blamed him, but he was still so nervous that he sweated his shirt.

In fact, Shan Qin Shouzhuo did consider whether to remove this gun commander after we were over, the long-range artillery technology is still very primitive now, and the hit is indeed a bit face-in the face will be black, let me go hunting in the savannah! Damn African!!

The Baron Babia's fourth degree had been raised to the extreme, and the powerful thrust of the four propellers had accelerated the flying ship with a total weight of more than 3,200 tons to 30 knots, and Qin Shouzhuo could almost see the panicked crowd on the other deck and the hysterical movements on the command tower. Qin Shouzhuo could understand the other party's feelings, after all, the speed of the Baron Baron had reached the limit of 30 knots, and it was still without opening its sails and entering the wind tunnel.

Damn, mentally retarded, this is still a headwind, can you believe it!!

General Gran was still able to remain calm, and if he also panicked, his morale would be gone. For the generals, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and remained unchanged. An entire army looked at their commander, and if the commander could not maintain a confident appearance, how could he ask the soldiers to believe in their victory?

Even with his noble pedigree, Bernie is only a young man in his twenties after all, and there is still a lot to learn, so I hope he can calm down.

"Bernie, you're acting too panicked, and if you want to take my place, you'll have to learn to be angry. ”

Hearing General Gran's reminder, Bernie, who suddenly realized what the consequences of his actions would bring, quickly stopped, walked behind General Gran with a face full of shame, bowed down and said, "Yes, General, the subordinate is too immature." ”

"It's okay, you're still young. When you're your age, I'm not going to be much better than you, and when you're my age, you'll be able to do better than me. General Glenn held the monocular in both hands and kept adjusting the focus: "What about the wonderful ship, it doesn't even open its sails, and it runs so fast." What are those four who are spinning so fast? Is that why the ship is so fast? If only they could capture him? ”

"Uh...... General, if you want to capture it, I'm afraid it's a bit ......."

"Ah, don't take it personally, I said casually. With his hands together and the monocular in his hand, General Gran still stared at the Baron galloping in front of the left side of the fleet: "Ah, yes, it's not a good habit to grab the T-position, it's too barbaric." Tell the fleet to change formation, turn left, head 270, and we'll rush over!"
