Chapter 21: The Flagship Will Not Retreat
Seeing the Tigris aggressively rushing towards the giant whale spaceship, the Tucker warships that had already returned to the aid released more meat balls and rushed towards the Tigris.
"Commander, look!" An officer from the command center exclaimed, pointing to the image on the large screen.
Everyone locked their eyes on the picture, only to see that the previous batch of small meat balls had attracted to the skin of the giant whale, as if they were throwing mud onto the wall. After only a few moments, I saw that the skin of the giant whale was completely covered with a layer of flesh balls, and those meat balls began to wriggle violently, and the entire giant whale spaceship looked like a large organ, wriggling.
Alexander's heart sank rapidly, he didn't know what would happen, but at this moment, he was less than a few kilometers away from the giant whale battleship, and he had to send an arrow.
"The main cannon is ready, the maximum charge, try two guns first!" Alexander ordered.
The officers on the weapons console quickly began to remotely and manually control the aiming of the main gun, while the officers on the energy console quickly redistributed the energy supply to maximize the charge of the main gun. The main cannon is a beam cannon, and Alexander is going to try it first to see if it works.
The Tigris is still slowing down, the main gun has been completed, and the huge energy in the muzzle is gathering and ready to go!
As if they had received some order, the little balls of meat that were rushing towards the Tigris quickly changed direction and converged towards the main guns.
"Are they trying to block it? Or is it to draw energy? Sergei muttered to himself.
Soon, the main cannon was charged, and at Alexander's command, a beam half a meter in diameter hit the strange giant whale ship. Where the beam of light passed, those little balls of flesh that tried to resist in vain instantly disappeared. Even some of the Tucker ships near the giant whale spaceship were instantly detonated by the huge heat, and those strange ships exploded one after another, scattering all kinds of black lumpy tissue.
The attack of the main cannon has ended, and everyone in the Tigris is nervously looking at the giant whale spaceship that was hit, and at this moment, the small meat balls absorbed by the outer surface of the spacecraft have all fallen off and turned into dust in the battlefield. The surface of the exposed spaceship body became red all over, and it was beating together, as if it was breathing, and in the gloomy gaze of everyone, the giant whale slowly spread its wings......
"Quick, let the 3rd Squadron quickly get out of the battlefield and retreat! Retreat now! Alexander roared anxiously, he must not let the third squadron make senseless sacrifices again, the whale battleship's ability to control the field made everyone feel powerless.
At this time, Sergei slowly took off his military hat, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that the wings of the giant whale were already flashing with a faint blue light. The Tuckers are really powerful, a small force has such combat effectiveness, if the main fleet arrives, what will it look like? Maybe I can't see it.
"Report, the 3rd Squadron refuses to retreat, they will launch an assault on the enemy flagship to cover the retreat of the Tigris!" The staff officer hurriedly reported.
When Alexander heard the 3rd Squadron's disobedience, he wanted to get angry, but he saw that in the real-time screen, the 3rd Squadron had adjusted its formation, released all the carrier-based aircraft, and rushed towards the giant whale at full speed. The few remaining small warships of the Tuckers forcibly reversed direction and stopped at the 3rd Squadron, and the front of the ship fired a crescent-like flat blade of light in an attempt to disrupt the 3rd Squadron's formation.
"The whole ship covers the third squadron!" Deputy Commander Green added the order in time.
"Yes, adjusting your posture!" The commander on the flight console responded quickly.
The Tigris was originally rushing towards the whale, but at this moment it quickly turned around, and opened fire with all its strength to cover the third squadron as it retreated.
The giant whale's wings were already shining brightly, and it seemed to be extremely energetic, presumably the small balls of flesh attached to its body that had delivered energy to it.
Under the cover of the flagship, the third squadron broke into the vicinity of the giant whale, the behemoth was like a medium-sized space station, it looked like nothing from a distance, but when it came to the front, it was so huge. It looks like it's the size of five Tigris.
There was no time to be stunned, the third squadron began to attack the giant whale wings that were accumulating energy with all their might, and the live ammunition quickly pierced the not very thick wings, and a glowing blue liquid flowed from the wound.
Despite the ferocity of the 3rd Squadron's attack, the scarred-looking giant whale wings did not stop accumulating. The remnants of the Tucker spaceship, which was being pursued by the Tigris Outrigger, were too busy to take care of themselves and could not return at all, so the 3rd Squadron seized the opportunity and began to launch a new round of onslaught.
"Don't stop the continuous attack, the carrier-based aircraft unit will concentrate fire on the junction for me!" The squadron commander was furious, his neck was bruised, and he was very anxious.
The energy cannons of the four squadron capital ships fired a salvo, but after hitting the wings, they were absorbed, like mud cows entering the sea. In desperation, he could only use live ammunition to strike, and continuous explosions continued to spread on the wings, but they couldn't stop the charge.
The Tigris also noticed this, and the faces of the people were extremely ugly.
What to do? This is a question that is common to all of us right now.
"Don't be afraid, the flagship will not retreat! If you don't beat it, the flagship will be on top! Alexander personally said to the 3rd squadron in the fleet communication channel.
"Commander, remember our ......" came the low and depressed voice of the commander of the third squadron over the communicator.
Alexander bowed his head and did not reply.
At this moment, a huge burst of fire rose on the giant whale, and the spherical flame ball expanded rapidly, and in an instant, all the electronic equipment of the Tigris was seriously disturbed, and the power system was impacted and became unstable, but fortunately, the Tigris is currently in a state of manual control, and after a short period of impact, the whole ship returned to normal, and the quantum combat computer re-online all electronic equipment.
"They ......" Deputy Commander Green stopped talking, silently stepped aside, wiping away tears.
The 3rd Squadron of the First Fleet Task Force of the Imperial Navy has been wiped out!
Chief of Staff Sergei took out a palm-sized notebook in the pocket of his military uniform, and tremblingly hooked the third squadron from above. And on that page, the 1st and 2nd squadrons were crossed out.
At this time, on this battlefield, only the Tigris flagship is left in the human fleet!
Alexander's face was expressionless, staring at the picture that had just been restored, the giant whale spaceship whose wings had been extinguished, and at this moment, viscous droplets faintly glowing with blue light were constantly suspended on the drooping and badly damaged wings, scattering in all directions.
It looks like it's lost its combat effectiveness......
Everyone was mixed with joy and sorrow, but Alexander saw that the belly of the giant whale was wriggling violently......
