Chapter Eighty-Six: A Battle Range of 130 Kilometers
The distance between the two sides can be said to be quite far in this 130 kilometers distance, even if the projectile of the electromagnetic cannon flies at a speed of 2,500 meters per second, it will take dozens of seconds to fly from one end to the other, not to mention the naval guns of both sides, once the fleets of the two sides move, it is quite difficult to hit.
However, the First Fleet had already taken the lead in firing first, and coupled with the "denseness" of the previous fleet formation of more than 100 Scaredor's ships, it created good conditions for the attack of naval guns. However, when the other side reacted, began to move, and dispersed, the naval guns were not so accurate. Even with the assistance of fire control AI, the hit rate has dropped a lot.
In the absence of better electromagnetic guns, as well as energy weapons, the First Fleet can only rely on anti-ship missiles, as well as those carrier-based aircraft on carriers, in the face of targets at a distance of 130 kilometers.
The same problem also appeared on the side of the advance team, at a distance of 130 kilometers, even if Scaleldo held a telescope, it was only a small dot in his eyes, and it was not clear what the battleships of the First Fleet looked like. However, the only advantage of the advance team was the firing of hundreds of battleships and thousands of guns. A wave of firepower coverage, even if it can't be aimed at the opponent, can pose a considerable threat to that area. And theoretically, artillery shells can fly infinitely in the universe, there is no such thing as range, it is just a matter of accuracy. Whether you can hit the other party or not depends on luck.
The First Fleet was immediately divided into three small fleets and dispersed, with three aircraft carriers as the core, destroyers and frigates accompanying each other. Zhao Qixu stared at the thousands of battleship shells flying densely like meteors in the distance, and ordered with a stern face: "The close defense guns of each ship enter the combat equipment, and the defense AI begins to capture the enemy's projectiles and calculate the movement trajectory of the enemy's projectiles!" ”
"AI capture successful! Orbits are being calculated! An operator said, only to see him crackling on the console, and quickly let the AI calculate the trajectory of the projectile, and the operator quickly said: "At the current speed of our ship, there will be 5 shells hitting our fleet!" ”
Zhao Qixu said: "Okay, let the destroyers and frigates intercept!" Be sure not to let go! We can't take a shot. ”
Thousands of shells flew through the gap of the First Fleet like a meteor shower in this inaccurate world, flying to the rear, and it was all up to metaphysics to hit the fleet. The destroyers and frigates in the fleet also quickly turned their close defense guns, locking on to the projectiles that the AI calculated would hit the hull.
"Buzz buzz!"
A powerful network of interceptive firepower composed of more than 30 destroyers and frigates was instantly spread out, and a barrage of barrages fell from the sky, directly netting those shells that might hit the fleet's warships.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom Boom! ”
Under the dense barrage, I saw a fire from the enemy a few kilometers in front of the First Fleet, and those shells that were about to hit and were dangerous to the fleet were intercepted one after another. In the light of the fire, thousands of inaccurate shells whizzed by, of course, not hurting the fleet, but they looked extremely shocking.
Zhao Qixu shook his fist heavily and said happily: "Well done!" ”
At this time, the First Fleet's missile rain was also about to fly in front of the advance team, and the missiles began to capture these warships and lock them on. Even if they are moving, they will not be able to dodge missile attacks, unless they also have AI-controlled melee guns, which of course is impossible.
In the face of a wave of missiles, Scaledor's face was dark, because no matter what direction the fleet moved, those unknown stick-like things that whistled would still fly towards the fleet, as if they had eyes, and Scalredo ordered: "Activate anti-aircraft fire!" Knock those things down for me! ”
The advance team battleships are equipped with powerful anti-aircraft firepower, and you must know that even in the Noah Empire, a country dominated by battleships, aircraft carriers have a place. No matter how thick the armor of the battleship was, it would not please the battleship in the face of the bombers that swarmed like a hornet.
After all, the Noah Empire did not experience the baptism of World War II on Earth, and the aircraft carrier faction did not become the mainstream. But the battleship faction, because of the appearance of the aircraft carrier faction and aircraft, began to install large areas of anti-aircraft fire on the deck of the battleship.
As the piercing alarm sounded on the deck of the advance team, the sailors of the advance team quickly flapped their wings on their backs, flew to the position of the anti-aircraft gun, shook the operating stick, and quickly aimed the anti-aircraft gun at the area where the missile was attacking.
"Fire!"
With an order, the advance team with the naked eye as the aiming tool began to weave a powerful firepower network belonging to them. The dense anti-aircraft barrage instantly turned to the missile, but the speed of the missile is not at all something that can be prevented by catching it with the naked eye. There may have been a few lucky gunners who let the anti-aircraft shell hit the missile, and a spark exploded with a "boom". However, it was only a matter of luck, almost all the missiles broke through the anti-aircraft fire of the advance team and crashed headlong into the battleships of the advance team.
Scarredo looked at the missile that exploded in the distance, and his face was full of surprise: "What is this, so powerful!" ”
He was shocked when he saw the missile for the first time, and then looked at the speed of the missile, which almost completed the breakthrough of the air defense network, and Scalredo ordered: "The advance team is ready to prevent collision!" ”
Dozens of missiles hit the battleship and exploded in the advance team. None of the battleships could escape the attack of missiles, and with a "boom", the battleship was hit by a missile, and the bow or stern of the ship was directly interrupted. If you are unlucky, you will be hit directly by the missile, and a fireball will explode. Billowing smoke quickly drifted up and began to fill the entire fleet.
"Boom!"
During Scaleddo's period, the bow turret was also hit, and the entire turret was overturned by missiles, and a huge smoke rose in an instant, and Scaleddo ordered: "Quick! Go up and put out the fire! Don't let the fire spread and cause a martyrdom! ”
Standing in the bridge, Scaleddo looked at the battleships that kept exploding around him, and ordered: "What about the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier?" Fly over for me and strafe them! ”
In the absence of gravity, carrier-based aircraft during World War II could not bomb and could only rely on machine gun fire. This is also one of the reasons why aircraft carriers have not been able to develop in the Noah Empire, the country of the universe era. On the few aircraft carriers of the previous fleet, the propeller planes began to "buzz", flying off the deck one after another, and flew towards the First Fleet.
