Chapter 70: Intense
Jelly's first attack gave the Skylight Fleet a head start, making the opponent's jumping tactics a joke, on the Dark Moon, countless people were cheering, and in the Skynet, the subhuman warriors in the Darkmoon's escort fleet were also cheering loudly.
But soon everyone fell silent again.
The Sky Fleet didn't care about the first wave of losses at all, and immediately after the first wave of vanguard forces was wiped out, it launched a second wave of attacks, and the exact same attack entered again.
And this time Jelly won't be able to play another flashy total annihilation - the planetary weapon platform and the main cannon on the Darkmoon are all on cooling.
It stands to reason that the vanguard of the other side has been completely annihilated, and it will have to wait a while before launching a new attack. Under normal circumstances, even the opponent will abandon this jump tactic and then use the regular starship press-on tactic.
But the current situation is that the other side did not hesitate at all, and it can even be said that they were prepared from the beginning, and after the first wave of vanguard troops was annihilated, the other side immediately launched a second wave of jumping attacks.
The quantity is the same, the method is the same, it is completely a copy of the first wave.
On the side of the revolutionary army, without the planetary weapon platform and the heavy firepower of the Dark Moon, even if Jelly calculates the opponent's jump point, it is impossible to destroy it all in an instant.
However, Jelly did not give the other party any courtesy, and all the automatic defense equipment that could be controlled was all online, covering the opponent's firepower as much as possible.
The second small jump attack assault force of the Skycanopy Fleet was not completely destroyed, but it was also badly damaged. And then the strange situation was here, and the Skydome Fleet did not hesitate at all. Once again, the third jump attack was launched.
It was the second jump attack, and the remaining remnants of the troops were not visible at all. A frantic attack was launched. Even suicide attacks are used to achieve their goals.
The purpose is simple and outrageous, that is, to move forward, to break through!
Although the preparation time is not long, the space defense system of the witch galaxy itself is still relatively complete, and after Jelly fully takes over, although there is not enough fleet to use, the planetary weapon platform, the orbital defense system. Automated defense equipment such as autonomous regimental guns in airspace is still sufficient.
According to the original prediction, with these defense systems, coupled with the near-airspace fleet at hand, and the super control ability of Jelly, how could it be possible to hold out for more than seven or eight hours, and then use special means to hold out for two hours, so that there is a chance to wait until the reinforcements arrive.
But less than thirty minutes into the battle, and after only three head-to-head encounters, the whole situation had already changed.
The Skycanopy Fleet launched a jump attack completely regardless of losses and attrition, as if their soldiers were not alive at all. The ship doesn't want money at all, and it launches a crazy attack without any life.
The jelly is already running at full capacity. However, it was still unable to block the opponent's attack according to normal steps, and the first line of defense had completely collapsed just thirty minutes into the battle.
It's because of the jump attack for the other side's life, the planetary weapon platform and the synchronous orbit defense system are also forced to enter a state of all-out war in advance, which is not good news, that energy and consumption are wasted on these "little things", and when the main starships and air carriers arrive behind, what will they use to block?
But if it doesn't work, it can't be used, just with the little near-space starship force that the revolutionary army has at hand, if it doesn't have the assistance of the planetary weapon platform and the synchronous orbit system, even the opponent's jumping attack can't be stopped.
The revolutionary army is too short of space combat power.
With the advance of the opponent's main fleet, without the rear planetary weapon platform and the fire support of the Dark Moon, the autonomous legion artillery of the second extended defense line is considered to exist in name only, and tens of thousands of autonomous legion cannons have been blown up to only a few hundred, and that sporadic attack power can't even penetrate the opponent's photon shield.
The other side is completely casualty in exchange for progress. Their vanguard of the jump had reached the number of divisions, but they were still being recruited, and the revolutionary army had to devote most of its attention to the little ones who jumped in.
The main fleet of the Skydome Fleet is pushing at the speed of light all the way, sweeping away the entire defense system of the Witch Star with a concentrated fire attack every fifteen minutes.
Whether it is an autonomous legion cannon, or an airspace mine, or an asteroid fortress, in the absence of rear fire support, it was bulldozed little by little by the opponent in the most brutal way.
The Sky Curtain Empire was naturally very aware of the defensive arrangement of the entire Witch Galaxy, which was originally done by them, but the people of the Revolutionary Army thought of many possibilities, and they did not expect that the other party would attack the Witch Star in such a desperate way.
You must know that half of the troops that jump and attack are human pilots, and the remaining half are combat robots (robots in the form of space fighters), and if the opponent fights in such a desperate way, even if the witch star is finally recaptured, then the loss of troops will be as high as an army group, or even more.
The regular fleet of the entire Skydome Empire is three and a half armies, and if they fight a witch star, there will be no army group or more, so what do they plan to use to block the counterattack of the Academy, Xiyao, and Prashi Alliance?
What is even more puzzling is that the opponent's fleet configuration is completely disproportionate.
In space warfare, small assault ships and space fighters have a very important position, and the number is extremely large, but at present, the jumping troops that the opponent has put into the battlefield have exceeded the normal establishment.
According to the normal military establishment, the basic unit of the space fleet is the A-class fleet establishment, which is commonly known as the regimental level (there is no establishment below the regimental level in space warfare).
An A-class fleet includes two large warships, 10 medium-sized warships, and 30 small warships, and according to the combat mission of the formation, it is equipped with landing ships, space fighters, and other carrier-based attack aircraft of no less than 500.
A division-level establishment is 10 to 15 A-class fleets, and 30 to 35 A-class fleets are military ranks. And above the military level, there is also a level called the "Jun level", which is actually commonly known as the group army (the reason for this awkwardness is because the space establishment was copied from the army, and it was later found that the situation of the two sides was not the same, after the space establishment was expanded many times. The military rank is no longer the largest rank. So he came up with such an awkward level as the monarch level. However, most civilians and even soldiers are accustomed to calling it an army group)
An army group generally has three to five ranks.
The Skylight Empire is not the strongest of the three major forces in terms of force. It can even be said that it is the weakest one. The ready-made troops are not as good as they want, and they can't compare to Plashi in terms of money, and they seem to rank second among the three major forces in everything, but in fact, everyone understands that the Sky Curtain Empire belongs to the kind that is not effective in the follow-up.
And after the Skycurtain Empire took the lead in provoking the war and fought with the Principality of Xiyao for a year, their main fleet was only three and a half armies, except for the near-airspace fleets in the three major star fields under their control.
And the other side is now sending six armies, that is to say, almost two army groups. This also means that under normal circumstances, the other side should have more than 400 large starships, more than a few thousand medium-sized starships, more than 10,000 small starships, and 100,000 assault ships and space fighters of various types.
But now in order to break through the defense system of the Witch Galaxy, the opponent uses jumping tactics at all costs. Now breaking through to the third line of defense, the opponent has launched fifteen jump attacks.
Each batch of jumping troops is the same number, 1,000 light assault ships, 20,000 plus space fighters. Fifteen jump attacks are equivalent to 15,000 light assault ships and 300,000 space fighters.
This number already exceeds the normal number of light assault ships and space fighters of the two armies. Although autonomous space fighters can be built on-site from the shipyard of the mothership. As long as there are enough materials (including battle-damaged materials collected on the battlefield), they can be produced in a steady stream.
But what about the human pilots? Those people don't have the ability to resurrect.
And what can be quickly manufactured is the talent fighter. Light assault ships can also be built, but they definitely don't have such a fast speed.
"What's going on? The number of the other party is completely abnormal? How can there be so many?" the always calm Ganda Po couldn't help but exclaim.
There are a total of ten lines of defense in the Witch Galaxy, and now the other party has advanced to the fourth line, although the main fleet is only presented in front of the revolutionary army, but the other party's jumping troops are completely unreasonable.
The establishment of a fleet does not mean that it can be increased by increasing it, but that increasing the establishment requires space and resources. Light assault ships and space fighters do not have the ability to navigate deep space, and at distances of more than ten light-years, they must rely on the help of large starships.
The space carried by a large starship is limited, and it is impossible to fit it indefinitely. And the other side has now far exceeded the normal number, where did these troops come from?
"If it's a space wormhole, then where is it? If a space wormhole appears, it's impossible for Skynet to be undetectable!" Qianda Po frowned, the other party's completely lifeless fighting style and completely abnormal number have completely disrupted the defense system of the revolutionary army.
So far, the battle has been less than two hours. Even in the best-case scenario, the revolutionary army would have to hold out for another eight hours before waiting for reinforcements. But with the current situation, it would be good for the revolutionary army to have five hours.
After two hours of firefighting, a third of the Witch Galaxy had fallen under the control of the Sky Curtain Fleet - or should not be called control, and the entire starry sky was swept away wherever the opposing main fleet passed, and all natural celestial bodies, artificial debris, were all turned into cosmic particles.
As far as the eye can see, all kinds of wreckage began to pile up, from the automatic equipment of the Witch Star defense system to the small warships in the defeated Skydome Fleet - yes, after the opponent broke through the four lines of defense, only lost less than a hundred small warships.
However, in the near airspace, at a distance of forty to twenty astronomical units, the wreckage of the opponent's jumping troops can no longer be described in many ways, and those wrecks can already be seen intuitively.
And the other side is still constantly throwing in the jumping troops, forcing the revolution to concentrate 90% of its firepower on them, and can only watch the other side's main fleet swagger closer and closer.
"Master! It can't be suppressed! The fourth line of defense is on the verge of collapse!"
"No, if we continue like this, we will lose, we must find a way to stop the opponent's jumping attack, we can't let the opponent's main fleet get so close so unharmed, once they reach the sixth line of defense, then everything we have will be completely exposed to the opponent's full firepower, let alone eight hours, we will not be able to hold on for thirty minutes!"
"But we don't have a fleet or warplanes!" said Kinara, gloomily.
"Jelly, let Darkmoon use the Spark production line. At the same time, aim all the heavy firepower at the opponent's capital ship, and the escort fleet will first withstand a wave of the opponent's jumping attack, and ten minutes later, carry out a concentrated fire attack on the opponent's capital ship!" Xiao Ming, who had been silent since the start of the battle, spoke.
Xiao Ming is not good at strategic and tactical things, and he has always put himself in the position of the head soldier in a large-scale battle like this, which is a rare situation for him to open his mouth at such a time.
"Mingzi, don't you think?" Zhuge Tiantian is a good person, and he knows Xiao Ming quite well, as soon as he heard Xiao Ming's words, he had already guessed a few points.
"Since there is not enough fleet, it is up to those of us who have space combat power to attack. Although the newly assembled Starfire production line on the Dark Moon is not yet complete, with our cooperation and the escort fleet, we should be able to deal with the opponent's jumping attack!" Xiao Ming said.
Gandhara didn't object, nor did she agree, she just looked at Xiao Ming: "You have to understand, even if you and Brother Emperor Shakti, in such a space battle environment, once they are attacked by the main artillery, they will die for life." And there are not many of us who can enter the battlefield with you!"
"I, Shakti, Tiantian, Selene, Tyusha, and Hydra, we are enough. Xiao Ming said.
Gandharva looked at Tifa.
Tifa bit her lip slightly: "Yingluo and I won't follow you for the time being." But if there is a situation, we will come to the aid immediately!"
"I understand!" Xiao Ming nodded and said to Jelly, "Jelly, is the space ready for photon armor?"
"It's ready! The Starfire production line is fully open, and the first Starfire will be dispatched in a minute!" Jelly said in a deep voice.
"Very well, give control of Starfire to Kronos, it's time for him to perform!" Xiao Ming said.
"Great my lord, your servant has been waiting for your dispatch!" Kronos's projection immediately appeared on the bridge, and he said with an excited face.
"Ahhh
"Senior sister, don't worry, there will definitely be a chance for you to go out. The Sky Curtain Empire is big!" Gu Qiusha comforted his childish senior sister.
"Ready! Starfire is starting to be released, control is being handed over, master, you can go out!"
"Let's go!" (To be continued.) )
