Chapter 159: War
Zhang Yuan was finally persuaded by Yixue. However, he wanted to save face, and he was embarrassed to change the order himself, so Yixue personally came to the Bolan Rose, explained the situation, and then let him go - the so-called explanation is, of course, just to say good things for Zhang Yuan. It's just that as the light brain operator said, everything that happened on the bridge was monitored by Jelly, and Team Zero could see it clearly, so everyone tacitly agreed.
The Blue Rose entered the battle sequence, right next to the Flying Feather.
As Yi Xue said, Zhang Yuan was determined to use the Bolan Rose as a fort, so it was absolutely impossible to let the Bolan Rose go away. But that's enough for the Birchet Rose. The people of Team Zero are not fools, and in such a big battle, not to mention the current Bolan Rose, it is impossible for the Dark Moon to single-handedly take on the swarm.
"The biters have spotted us. will be in maximum range in ten minutes!"
"All naval guns are ready for the first covering attack!" Zhang Yuan's order was quickly conveyed to the entire 121st Division fleet.
"Hmph, it's time for that stubborn old man to show us how good we are! Don't worry, master, I will definitely have a good fight, and make that old man speechless!"
But Yi Xue had already said it openly and secretly just now, just act as if nothing had happened.
Since Zhang Yuan didn't want to pursue it anymore, Team Zero was naturally happy to pretend that nothing had happened.
The only one who is still indignant is Jelly.
"You, just don't go out of line. "Sana has a headache when she sees the jelly. This little girl has become more and more lawless when she is spoiled by Xiao Ming.
Jelly took Suanna's words as the wind in his ears. The early run is gone.
"You don't care!" Suona looked at Xiao Ming with hatred of iron and steel.
Xiao Ming shrugged helplessly: "I must take care of it in the future!"
Sana rolled her eyes. It's not going to stop this guy at all.
Ten minutes later. The swarm enters the maximum attack range of the 121st Division.
"Fire!"
Zhang Yuan gave an order, and the first fire covering attack of the entire 121st Division was like a rain of fireworks spreading out in space, covering the entire advance team of the insect swarm.
Today's starships can attack as far as a light-second away. At the speed of 450 hertz of an ordinary starship, such a distance can be covered in only half an hour, and this distance is still considered close in space.
Zhang Yuan sat in the captain's seat, looked at the martyrdom from the light curtain, and immediately said, "Calculation results!"
"Annihilate a hundred ship bugs. Space bugs 70,000!" The light brain gave the answer after a few seconds.
It's not a bad score, but it's nothing for the biter.
If there is any weakness of the insect swarm in space warfare, it is that the farthest mother nest is only just enough for the attack distance of one light second, while the ship insect is only half a light second distance, and the ordinary space insect is about the same as a human fighter, and the farthest attack distance is no more than 10,000 kilometers.
However, the speed of the swarm is extremely fast, and under the burst speed, only the fastest assault ship among the human starships can be compared, and it is impossible for other starships to outrun the swarm.
In the case of the 121st Division. The cooldown time for each set of fire is ten minutes, if there is a human starship on the opposite side. Then before the opponent runs to the nearest distance, it can still collect fire twice, but the 121st Division is facing bugs, and with the speed of the outbreak of bugs, there is only one chance to gather fire.
"The second time the main cannon was charged, the Chinese fleet changed from the Rubik's Cube Array to the Fish Scale Array! The Tianshu and the Horned Bear advanced on the left and right wings. Zhang Yuan gave a new order.
The 121st Division just placed the Rubik's Cube Array, also known as the Reunion Array, which is an attack array that can maximize the power of the fleet's fire, but it has great shortcomings in defense, and is generally only used for long-distance attacks.
The fish scale formation is different, this is a kind of offensive and defensive battle formation, the fleet is like fish scales overlapping and staggering, crowding each other out, supporting each other. At the same time, Zhang Yuan also ordered the left and right flanks of the Tianshu and the Horned Bear to move. Both starships are large starships, and their actions do not represent their own actions, but rather the overall actions of a standard A-class fleet composed of them. The two starships ordered by Zhang Yuan were the command ships of these two A-class fleets.
The 121st Division is worthy of being an elite division, and in seven minutes, it has changed from a Rubik's Cube array to a fish-scale array with two fists, like a boxer with a posture, waiting for the arrival of the opponent.
At the same time, the main cannon charge was once again completed.
The space battle between humans and insect swarms is a time difference, relying on the attack distance is farther than the insects, first gather fire to cover the attack, and count as many insects as you can shoot, and then the regular battle.
Once again, the fire is set together, and the effect is even better because the distance goes in.
"One hundred and seventy ship worms and one hundred and seventy space worms will be annihilated!"
But the 121st Division only had this last chance to hang and beat the bugs.
The distance between the two sides was enough for the shipworm to open fire.
"Defend the ship ready!"
There is a kind of defense ship in the human fleet, this is a fully automatic ship, there is no attack ability, all the ability is concentrated on defense, all the defense ships can be combined to form a huge single energy shield, which is a consumable unit. This is also the combat experience summed up by thousands of years of battles between humans and Zerg. Use these expendable units to exchange human losses, otherwise exchange human lives for insect lives, and ten times more human beings will not be enough to exchange for insects.
This kind of defense ship is small, only the size of a warplane, and it is also extremely fast, controlled by the fleet's flagship central light brain, which can open its energy shield and defend itself at the moment when the bug's long-range attack arrives. Moreover, as long as there is an air port for maintenance in the general fleet, it has the ability to create such defense ships, so it is not distressing to use it at all. Being able to trade this thing for fewer dead people is something that every commander is willing to do.
Sure enough, the first attack of the insect swarm was all blocked by the defense ships, although more than 5,000 defense ships were lost, but for the 121st Division, which had 100,000 defense ships and could create another 200,000 defense ships, this loss could be replaced by one person, which was too cost-effective.
What's more, the bug's concentrated fire attack also has a cooldown, although it is shorter than the main cannon of humans, but this cooldown time is enough for humans to carry out another concentrated fire.
"Give me a hard beating!" Zhang Yuan patted the armrest of the captain's seat.
Once again, gather fire and annihilate 230 ship insects and 180,000 space insects!
"The fleet fires freely, and all the warships release their fighters and prepare for aerial dogfights!"
In fact, all medium-sized and higher starships can carry fighters. The difference is in quantity and release speed.
The Flying Feather has 78,000 space fighters, and other large and medium-sized starships can also make up more than 30,000 fighters, and 100,000 fighters quickly rose into the air, ready to enter the space combat battle.
The mode of modern human space warfare has basically been fixed, first the long-range main gun fire, then the mid-range fighter aerial combat, a little closer is the anti-aircraft artillery defense network, and a little closer, that is the space war robot and the human power armored warrior.
This mode is especially useful in the war with the Zerg. When the human fleet still has a red eye and directly hits the starship, the bugs will not, because their shipworms don't have this function at all. However, space bugs can be used as suicide planes by impacting and self-destructing, and if there are enough of them, the power is no worse than that of a starship.
At the very beginning, the space war entered the most intense state.
A space fighter is generally a long aircraft with three wingmen. The long plane is driven by humans, while the wingman is driven by a light brain. Although the computing power of today's light brains makes them no worse than humans in controlling fighters, the light brains without independent personalities have no divergent thinking and do not have enough grasp of the subtle changes on the battlefield. Human beings have done many experiments, and in the current way, in the same number and under the same environment, they will fight against all-optical brain fighters, and the final victory or defeat is ten to zero. It's all the way it is.
But this mode also has a drawback, which is the inability to fight for a long time. Human pilots engage in continuous combat for a maximum of an hour, after which they enter a period of exhaustion, and casualties skyrocket if they are not replaced immediately. However, this problem is not difficult to solve. In terms of the capabilities of the space fighters and the intensity of the space battle, there is basically no possibility that they will not return after fighting for an hour.
100,000 fighters soared into the sky, forming countless small phalanxes, strangled with the swooping space insects. Although the human fighter fired a salvo of missiles before contact, the hit rate was not ideal, and the Space Bug was incomparable to the space fighter in terms of flexibility. The space fighter has the advantage of a photon shield, and the two sides are evenly matched in medium-range combat.
However, the main target of the space bug is not the space fighters, but those defense ships, and they have to kill these defense ships first to facilitate the attack of the ship bugs. Otherwise, only humans can beat the ship worm, and the ship worm can't hit the starship, and the worm will suffer a big loss.
The human warriors also understand this, so they block it with all their might, not letting the space worms get close to the defense ships, but the main guns are non-stop, the secondary guns are roaring, and the closest efforts are to eliminate more ship worms before the defense line of the defense ship is broken up - the space worms can only pose a threat to small starships when the human fleet formation is intact, and medium and large starships can hold out for more than a day even if they don't fight back, and let the opponent fight with their shields open. But the ship bugs are different, and the ship bugs can't stop the large starships from shooting at them.
"Look, what's that?" the observer suddenly shouted aboard the Feather.
The light curtain immediately projected what the observer had discovered.
"What's this, what is this?" (to be continued......)
