Chapter 55: Interception

Three cruisers, seven destroyers, thirty frigates, ten large and medium-sized industrial ships.

It's not very large, it's about the size of a squad, and it looks like it's been through a big battle, half of the ship's shields have been broken, and the hull armor is full of bombardment potholes.

"It's supposed to be this fleet, right?"

Fang Chen wasn't very sure, because the fleet didn't have any identifying signs.

But whether it is or not, this fleet is obviously not its own people, and there are traces of battle, most probably.

He did not hesitate and immediately sent a note communication to this fleet to stop and inspect.

As a result, the fleet ignored him and continued to rush forward.

Fang Chen did not hesitate to order the fleet to follow, and as the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, after entering the range of the large weapons of the two destroyers, he decisively ordered to open fire.

What is the concept of triple range advantage?

When the two destroyers opened fire, the enemy was not prepared for defense at all.

Normal people never thought that there would be a battleship with such a long range, until a round of concentrated fire sank a frigate behind the palace, the fleet reacted, and adjusted the formation in a panic, and a large number of space fighters were released from the cruiser and pounced.

The fleet immediately lined up, and the close defense system on the battleship began to exert force.

A dense network of firepower was woven across the sky to intercept the space fighters.

His weapons are all T5 and he has two talents with a total of 20 hit bonuses, while the average player has a variety of ship levels, ranging from T2 to T5.

Skill bonuses and technology level suppression, both pronged, amazing hits.

Space fighters roared in, shooting lasers and hitting the battleship, and before they could escape, they were torn apart by the intertwined firepower net.

The space fighter is equipped with two laser cannons, which are as powerful as the frigate's S-small laser cannons, and if there are enough of them, they are still quite threatening.

Two of these three cruisers are aircraft carrier cruisers, with 10 hangars in the bow, 20 hangars in the center, and 10 hangars in the stern, a total of 40 hangars, each hangar can accommodate 36 space fighters as standard, all adding up to a total of 1,440 space fighters.

The two add up to 2,880 space fighters.

Even if the technology was suppressed, there were too many space fighters, more than a thousand roared in, and the twelve battleships around him continued to pour firepower against the tongue of fire, and in less than a minute, the shield of a frigate was shattered, and in an instant, hundreds of lasers hit the battleship, countless armor fragments flew one after another, and the battleship was torn apart.

"YY, it's a little unbearable!"

There are too many enemy space fighters, and more than a thousand of them rushed up without dying, and they couldn't stop it at all.

After only two minutes of sinking three frigates in a row, Fang Chen ordered the fleet to retreat.

To his surprise, the enemy did not fall in love at all, and as soon as he retreated, the group quickly withdrew and retreated around the fleet.

"Something is wrong!"

Fang Chen looked at the fleet that retreated without dragging his feet, and his face was surprised:

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

According to Zhou Shaohang, the enemy withdrew in several ways after snatching the star diamond, and the snatched star diamond was one of the roads, and it is still unclear which way it was.

It's mediocre, but it's the main battleship, and it doesn't love war, and it's bent on running, which is very much like a heavy responsibility.

You must know that the price of space fighters is not cheap, 5 million T1 level space fighters, 50 million T5 level fighters, even if the average T3 technology is 20 million, a cruiser converted into a small aircraft carrier has a total of 1440 space fighters, and the total expenditure of space fighters alone is as high as 28.8 billion star dollars.

Cruisers of this aircraft carrier type have always been the main force, not to mention that there are two of them here, which means ......

Fang Chen hesitated for a moment, then ordered the remaining two destroyers and seven frigates to continue to follow.

Just a moment after the battle, three frigates were lost.

Although the talent is very strong, it can't withstand the onslaught of the enemy.

The siege of more than a thousand space fighters, regardless of losses, was difficult to withstand.

The same cruiser, the threat of space fighters is much greater than missiles, this thing flies much faster than destroyers, even T1 space fighters have a speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour, and T5 has a speed of up to 400,000 kilometers per hour, even if there is a talent of 200% speed bonus, it is impossible to fly a kite of a space fighter.

Fortunately, only the space fighter is fast, and its fleet is not fast, so he can easily catch up and hang far behind.

Whenever he saw the fleet ready to accelerate into sub-light or make a jump, he caught up to interrupt their jump.

When the warship starts the hyperspace engine, it must not be disturbed by the attack, whether it enters the sub-light speed or jumps, otherwise it will jump into the subspace by mistake.

Without a powerful psyker to navigate, once you fall into the subspace, you basically can't get out.

After two consecutive jams, the fleet couldn't help it, and after stopping, a large number of space fighters were released to pounce.

Fang Chen immediately ordered the fleet to turn around and pull away, but instead of retreating, it pulled away to the right.

But to his surprise, this large number of space fighters did not return after pulling a very long distance as he expected, but kept chasing them relentlessly, regardless of whether they would break away from the combat radius of the space fighters and the mothership.

"Something is wrong!"

This defense method was too extreme, which made Fang Chen even more determined in his guess.

"Captain, how far are you?"

No response.

However, Fang Chen didn't care, if he guessed correctly, the captain's fleet should be in a state of leap or sub-light speed right now, and in this state, it is impossible to receive communication from others.

Before the combination, the captain's fleet is estimated to be coming, and he only needs to hold on.

Having made up his mind, Fang Chen ordered the fleet to keep a distance from the enemy fleet while entangled with the space aircraft group, firmly monitor its movements, and catch up with it once there was a trace of leap acceleration.

The technology generation gap determines that it is impossible for them to secretly accelerate the jump, and the speed gap also determines that it is impossible for them to get rid of his interference.

The only problem was that the siege of the space fleet was very costly, and every two or three minutes a frigate was encircled and sunk.

It is also fortunate that it is now in a high-speed movement battle, and if it is a frontal positional battle, I am afraid that two or three ships will sink in two or three minutes.

Of course, the enemy's space fleet losses are also very large, it has technological suppression, and there is a powerful BUFF bonus, the loss of the space fleet is very high, and every time he sinks a frigate, at least hundreds of space fighters are destroyed.

It was also the first time for Fang Chen to fight this kind of loss battle, and he hadn't lost a single battleship on the highest difficulty of brushing dungeons before.

It can only be said that the suppression of the battleship is too great, and the three cruisers, or the converted cruisers, and more than a thousand space fighters that are not afraid of death, cannot be beaten normally.

If he had a few more destroyers and more than ten frigates, he would have the courage to fight this fleet head-on and win.
