Chapter 8: Fierce Battle in the Stars (Part I)

Space warfare is an art!

I don't remember which human general said it, but this sentence is a classic.

However, for the ASEAN students, art is not art, they don't care, they care more about their own lives. As the elite of the Academy of Adeptics, they are not afraid of death, and when they choose to become Adepts, they have already chosen to become warriors. When they stepped aboard the Templar Expeditionary Force's starship, they were ready to die.

But that refers to the sacrifice after all-out hard work in ground combat. Instead of sitting like this in the midst of a starship like a big jar for them, and then betrayed by conspirators, ambushed by pirates, and shot into cosmic scum by a starship's volley of fire.

No one wants such a way to die.

Skoll's reminder was finally a little late, because the operation was to be kept secret, so the fleet would turn off the connection to Skynet after departure. At the same time, the photonic communication on a certain range dΓΉ is kept silent. In such a situation, Skoll can only wait for the logistics ship to approach the fleet before using the fleet's internal communication connection to notify Sona.

One minute.

Before the pirates showed up and fired at the ball, the ASEAN fleet won a minute to change formation due to Skoul's reminder and Suanna's quick decision. And everyone, because of this rich minute, was saved.

In space warfare, there are three ways to ambush.

One is to ambush in an airspace with a lot of shelter, such as a meteorite belt. In such cases, holographic scanning doesn't do much. But because such a place is an excellent ambush location, it is rare for a fleet to approach such an airspace with their heads covered.

The second is long-distance hops. It's not the same as a short-distance jump. Long-distance transitions require a fixed hop point to complete the distance in light-years. If you can know the exact time and place of the enemy's jump. Then set up an ambush at the hop point. It's the best way to attack. Because in order to concentrate the energy of the jump during the long-distance jump, the starship even needs to close the energy shield, and all the power engine energy must be directed to the jump engine.

After the long distance is over, there will be a silent state of thirty seconds to three minutes, depending on the distance of the jump, and in this state, the entire fleet is a delicious cake that anyone can come up and take a bite of.

But it's the same. Because of this Achilles' heel, all fleets will send advance ships when they make long-distance jumps. to ensure the safety of the hops.

The third is the method used by the pirates at this time. After knowing the enemy's accurate airspace, ambush a large number of Migration Generators in advance, and then let your fleet quickly move to the attack point. Because it is a light-hour distance and uses a large number of jump generators to provide auxiliary energy, the leaping fleet can completely open the energy shield, gather the energy of the main gun, and suddenly jump out to launch a concentrated fire attack.

This type of attack is extremely powerful. Once the enemy is caught off guard, there may not even be a chance to fight back.

However, there is a prerequisite for such an approach. That is, you must know the exact location of the other party, otherwise there is no way to put the jump generator in advance. Because the lifespan of the Transition Generator is not long, it is a disposable item, even if it is not used, it is only 50 hours of life, and as the time of use decreases, its auxiliary effect will also weaken, and it is even possible that it will lose its effect in advance in the end.

Therefore, the third way is to know the exact point and arrival time of the enemy.

The ASEAN fleet was played, letting the Lubacher men know their exact location and time of arrival, and were ambushed by the pirates, but fortunately, Skoul's reminder bought the ASEAN troops a precious minute to prevent them from losing their ability to fight back in an instant.

The most fortunate thing is that at this time, the fleet has just stopped, more than eighty percent of the fighters are still waiting on the transport ships for transfer, and the thirty small warships on the periphery are completely empty shelves, using optical brain automatic control, and there are no personnel at all.

And the ten medium-sized warships in Central have enough combat personnel, but in the middle level, there is the protection of small warships on the periphery, and even if they are hit, they will not be destroyed in an instant.

As for the two large warships in the center, one on the left and one on the right, the transports were protected by the fighters on the transports to ensure that the fighters on the transports would not be tragically wiped out by the first ceasefire of the pirates.

And Suona immediately ordered the fleet to turn into a defensive formation, although it was only a short minute, and the formation was not completely formed, but at least the basic energy shield had been opened.

At this time, at 75 degrees in the S818 airspace, more than 50 pirate warships of different sizes suddenly appeared, and the orange, white, red, and green main guns formed a dense attack wave and bombarded the ASEAN fleet. Their goal was directly at Sana's flagship, as if they knew which of the two large warships that were exactly the same was the real flagship.

& Full output, energy shield opens first. ”

> The ship's automatic damage management system turns on emergency mode. Seal the damaged area. ”

> Determine the distance, number, type of enemy ships. ”

> The ship released the fighter plane to be covert and standby, the first squadron had a 65-degree saga and the second sub-fleet had a 137-degree saga aberration. ”

& sub-jamming is fully activated. ”

Sona's order calmed down all the panicked crew members and quickly made the most correct response.

The Delin Array, the full name of the Delin Sacrifice Array, is a defensive formation that the famous human general Delin in the Dark Age of Star Beasts sacrificed himself to protect the main fleet, which can block the enemy's concentrated fire attacks on the maximum distance, and preserve the survival of the main ship at the cost of sacrificing a small number of warships.

The method is not complicated to say, using the rapid wave blocking of small ships to form a multi-layer defensive formation to resist the concentrated artillery fire of the opponent.

Because of the minute's preparation time, the Delin array appeared in front of the flagship in a very timely and accurate manner, blocking the first fire, at the cost of sacrificing ten small warships, and a medium battleship, the Brooke, was heavily damaged and had to withdraw from the battle.

&& Rook backed and retreated into the line of defense!" Sana gave the order calmly.

& The first fleet, the second fleet, immediately launch an attack posture, so that the opponent cannot carry out a second concentrated fire attack!"

& Troops, charge with all your might, tear apart the opponent's formation, even if you smash all the fighters into it, you have to stop the opponent from gathering fire for the second time!"

A detachment of three medium ships, ten small ships. Two squadrons, one on the left and one on the right, attacked the pirates.

The pirates apparently did not expect the ASEAN fleet to prepare in advance, although the time was too short and the preparation was imperfect, but the ambush warfare, often the most effective, caused only the destruction of ten small warships. This is completely different from the plan of the pirates to inflict heavy damage on the flagship for the first time, losing its combat effectiveness and command ability.

However, the ferocity of the pirates also showed at this time, the first concentrated fire did not achieve the expected purpose, they immediately prepared for the second time, and at the same time sent a large number of fighters to prepare and resist the interference of the fighters of the ASEAN fleet, they knew that it would take one minute and thirty seconds for the energy shield of the ASEAN fleet to reach the maximum power, and at this time, it was just enough for them to carry out the second concentrated fire attack. As long as the second concentrated fire attack can destroy the opponent's flagship, or destroy ten more small warships, they will also have an absolute advantage.

The fighters of the two sides strangled together in the air, and the pirates did not have enough funds to use high-performance automatic light brain fighters, so most of their fighters were manned, although in terms of attacking the creation of the zΓ o, humans are stronger than light brains, but when it comes to local strangulation, human beings are not as good as light brains. The biggest advantage of the light brain fighter is that there is no need to consider the bearability of the pilot, as long as the fighter can do the action, no matter how exaggerated it is. Human-piloted warplanes can't do that. Even if today's human body is several times stronger than the average of the Earth Age, even if the buffer system of fighter planes is getting better and better, there are some natural shackles, but they still can't get rid of it.

In addition, although the pirates have concentrated more than 50 large and small starships, there are only more than 600 fighters, and the ASEAN fleet has only 500 standard quotas to come from Sumu, and the ASEAN colleges have also supported a group, after all, the people who go out are the most elite students of the colleges. Therefore, in terms of material support, the ASEAN colleges are not polite.

And a certain eldest sister with deep pockets also privately sponsored a hundred main dragon vulture fighters. This brings the total number of last light brain fighters of the ASEAN fleet to 983. And the speed of the release of the fighters was extremely fast, and that precious minute allowed nine hundred and forty of them to be released, so although ten small warships were lost, the number of fighters was not lost.

As soon as they made contact, ASEAN's fighters gained the upper hand. With 500 light-brain fighters, they blocked the attack of more than 600 pirate fighters, and the remaining 400 fighters killed the pirates' starship group.

The pirates were depressed and scolded, jealous and helpless about the "local tyrant" style of the ASEAN fleet.

Because of the interference of the warplanes, the second fire of the pirates was delayed again and again. Finally, the ships entered the launch critical point, and when the commander-in-chief of the pirates slapped the handrails and roared loudly to fire, the energy shield of the ASEAN fleet had already entered a state of full power. The second fire did nothing but knock out three small warships and slightly injure two medium-sized warships. (To be continued......)
