Chapter 55: The First Battle of the Banshee Fighter

"Rush over, hurry up!" shouted the flight commander of the Hodder in the communication.

More than 2,000 Hod's fighters went crazy and attacked the Phantom Banshee's defense, and it was said that Vice Admiral Ivan's arrangement was wrong. Air defense, before the war, because of the artillery formation of Ouyang Yu's undead fleet, Vice Admiral Ivan thought that Ouyang Yu was going to have a fleet artillery battle with him, so he also ordered the fleet to put out the standard artillery formation of the Hoders, in order not to be accidentally injured in the next fleet artillery battle, the fighters were arranged on both wings to strengthen the strength of the garrison fleet, but what he never expected was that the shelling formation of the undead fleet was just a scam by Ouyang Yu, the purpose was to let Vice Admiral Ivan transfer the fighters, and he was really fooled.

When the 5,000 Banshee fighters, all of which could be invisible, took the initiative to show their whereabouts at the moment before the attack, Lieutenant General Ivan realized that he had been tricked, and hurriedly ordered the fighters on both wings to come to reinforcements, but unfortunately the ghost banshees of professional air combat had formed an almost impenetrable blocking net.

Under the interference of the Minovsky particle, the efficiency of the Hod's radar, communication and fire control systems was greatly reduced, and even the fighters were no exception.

"I'm Captain Alpha, guys rush with me!"

Forty-eight Hord fighters flew in an arc in the starry sky and flew towards the Banshee defense line, showing good coordination and superb flying skills.

"Keep your eyes open, don't miss a single enemy plane rushing towards us!"

The Hodder pilots of this wing immediately watched nervously and cautiously. In the past, the radar told the pilots where the enemy plane was, but now the radar almost strikes at an effective distance of no more than 10 kilometers. In the universe, this distance is equal to nothing, so they need to use their own optical equipment to observe the enemy's situation.

"Nine enemy planes at two o'clock!" shouted a certain pilot in the communication.

As soon as the pilot's voice fell. The nine ghost banshees that had locked on to the target after exiting the stealth state shot out beams and a group of missiles, and the Hodder fighters immediately dispersed to evade, most of the beams and missiles missed, only two were hit and exploded, and the ghost fighters were also affected by the Minovsky particles, and the missiles fired out were easily thrown off, and the small-caliber beam guns that originally relied on radar guidance to turn the barrel slightly can now only shoot at a fixed angle like the fighters of World War II, and the hit rate has dropped significantly, and the same is true for the Hoders.

After the nine ghost banshees attacked, they did not entangle with the Hodder fighters because of their poor mobility. Quickly adjust his course and prepare to disengage and become invisible again, but it will take some time to become invisible again, and it is at this time that the Hoders seized and immediately counterattacked, destroying the three ghost banshees.

Just when the Hodder fighters of this wing were still scattered because of the attack just now, there were two groups of more than a dozen ghost banshee fighters attacking from different places, constantly dividing and surrounding the Hodder fighters of this wing, launching attacks from all angles with the help of complete invisibility, and finally all of them were annihilated within the defense line, the same situation happened everywhere in the defense line, and the Hodders paid a huge price and could not break through the defense line composed of ghost banshee fighters, so that the battleships could not get air defense reinforcements from the fighters, and one by one the battleships were destroyed.

Eight Viking banshees and four lateral banshees suddenly appeared in the eyes of a Hodder light cruiser observer in a neat formation. "Starboard enemy aircraft approaching!" the secondary and close defense guns on the starboard side of the Hodder light cruiser quickly adjusted their angles and fired a dense barrage of shells at the rapidly approaching banshees.

Eight Viking Banshees launched missile attacks at once, attracting most of the light cruisers' firepower, creating the conditions for the attack of the Banshees in the flank position, at the cost of two Viking Banshees being shot down.

The four light aviation anti-ship torpedoes mounted under the belly of the four side Banshee planes detached from the hooks, and the tail of the torpedo spewed out a fire that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and the radar absorbing material on the torpedo made it only visible at extremely close range. Moreover, the color of the absorbing material itself will not reflect light, and it is completely integrated into the background color of space, which is one of the biggest killers of space warships in the space age.

In addition to firing torpedoes, the four flank Banshees also launched light anti-ship missiles mounted under the wings to increase the effect of the attack. Sixteen missiles whistled towards the light cruiser with a long white tail flame, and at the same time provided good cover for the torpedoes.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The gunners of the secondary guns and close defense guns of the light cruisers worked hard to shoot down twelve missiles. The remaining four hit the bow, amidships, and stern of the light cruiser, respectively, but the damage from the small charge of the anti-ship missiles was not too great.

Before waiting for the officers and men on the ship to breathe a sigh of relief. The CIC in charge of the radar shouted in horror: "Torpedo approaching!"

"Avoid!"

"It's too late!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

All four torpedoes hit the amidships of the light cruiser, and the powerful explosion blew the light cruiser in two, and only a few of the more than 300 officers and men on board survived, and the rest were all killed.

The screen in front of Vice Admiral Ivan displays a lot of squares, each of which represents a battleship, and the squares also represent the ship's affiliation and name, and since the war began for more than an hour, the squares that were originally full of green are now replaced by more and more red, mixed with a lot of yellow.

Green represents the integrity of the battleship, yellow represents the wounded battleship, the closer the color is to red, the higher the damage rate, and red means that the battleship has been destroyed, at this moment the red in the screen in front of Vice Admiral Ivan has occupied one-third, which means that in just over an hour he has lost one-third of the battleship, although most of the lost battleships are frigates, destroyers and light cruisers, but he understands very well that once the main frigate of air defense, The destroyers and light cruisers were lost, and it was only a matter of time before the remaining capital ships sank in front of the ferocious Banshee fighters.

"What now?" His Majesty has asked me to stop Catherine for three days, but now I can't do it for even three hours. "Lieutenant General Ivan thought of King Hode's ruthless methods against the defeated, if he failed to complete the task and let Ouyang Yu escape, not only would he be imprisoned in a forced labor camp, but his family would also be imprisoned in a forced labor camp, and then spend the rest of his life miserably under dark labor.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Ivan shuddered, "Maybe dying in battle is the best way, only in this way will it not affect the family." ”

"Order the fleet to retreat and reform a defensive line near the Star Gate, and order the garrison fleet to break off!" Vice Admiral Ivan gave the latest order, and also gave the order for the garrison to die.

Benjamin, who was sitting next to Lieutenant General Ivan, asked suspiciously, "Why did Your Excellency General retreat?"

Lieutenant General Ivan pointed to the screen with more and more red squares and said: " Your Excellency Director, you have also seen that the enemy's aviation is too strong, our warships have lost more than a third, and can only temporarily retreat and redeploy near the Star Gate, the Star Gate can be supported by the station's air defense fire close to the station, our task is to stop the enemy for three days, not to fight the enemy here, and re-arming near the Star Gate will also help control the Star Gate, if we really can't hold out for the arrival of reinforcements, even if we destroy the Star Gate, I will not let the enemy escape. ”

Destroying the stargate means that he can't escape, Benjamin has understood Vice Admiral Ivan's determination to die, so he no longer opposes his order, and the 74th Fleet of the Hod Empire began to retreat slowly, while the unlucky garrison fleet was helplessly cut off for the 74th Fleet under the curses of the officers and soldiers.

Two hours later, the garrison fleet was completely annihilated, and the seventy-fourth fleet had withdrawn to a safe distance and was sailing at full speed towards the star gate, but it was a normal voyage, because the space jamming device was always on, and his fleet and Ouyang Yu's undead fleet could only use normal navigation to move forward now.

Inside the bridge of the Undead Avengers, Antti asked Ouyang Yu, "What are you going to do next after the Hoders have retreated?"

"Of course, we have to catch up and find out what is going on with this space interference, otherwise it will be a great threat to our actions in the future, and we can't get out of here if we don't want to find the source of interference and destroy it, so we must catch up. ”

Ouyang Yu took back all the battleships and banshee fighters, and the vent in the tail of the Undead Avenger emitted blue flames, and the speed gradually increased and chased towards the seventy-fourth fleet.

The 74th Fleet had two hours to rearrange the defensive line, and the fleet, under the command of Vice Admiral Ivan, formed a relatively dense air defense formation near the Star Gate in a tense and orderly manner, and this time Vice Admiral Ivan arranged the remaining more than 1,000 fighters to the front of the fleet, and the fighters who took off from the station also joined the defensive line, and the large and small guns in the garrison raised their barrels and were ready to support at any time.

Ouyang Yu looked at the enemy situation on the screen in front of him and said: "It's not easy to do, I can't imagine that the star gate here is so close to the garrison of the garrison, if you only attack the 74th fleet regardless of the garrison, you will be flanked by the garrison fleet station, it seems that you must first capture the fleet garrison and then attack the 74th fleet." ”

"Yes, I think so too, and the speed of the attack must be fast, and the troops must be divided and part of the forces must be used to contain the enemy's fleet so that it cannot be reinforced. Antti analyzed on the side.

"That's it, Antti, are you interested in leading the army down to play?"

"You mean ......?"

"In addition to Sindagossa and Ingrid, who need to command the battle, I will give you the command of Tia, Jasmine, and Saya, and use our most powerful combat power to capture the garrison as quickly as possible. ”

"Okay!" Antti readily agreed. (To be continued......)
