Chapter 1654 Miscellaneous Army
DPTOS6489, this is the number of the dark star field where the Swan is currently located.
Located between the two forward bases, it should have been a route frequently taken by daily patrols and even when personnel between the two bases moved to each other.
Only Alyssa has passed through this route more than once or twice. Logically speaking, this place belongs to the rear and there should be no enemy ambush. But the reality is that the Fifth Fleet was ambushed.
The only possibility that can be thought of at present is that this unknown fleet uses absorbers and optical camouflage to hide here and ambush here, and it may have been ambush for a month or two.
After all, a month or two ago, the Spinning Water Federation had not yet pushed the front.
In the past, the Swan used absorbers and optical camouflage to sneak attack others, but now that it is being attacked, it really feels like a hell of a job.
The main fleet of the Fifth Fleet is actually not bad. Even if it is attacked by a sneak attack, the shields of most ships will not cause too serious damage.
The cruising fleet was no longer working. Alyssa watched helplessly as the signals from friendly ships under her command disappeared one after another on the command system.
Fortunately, the advantage of cruisers is their flexibility. Alyssa immediately changed the route and ordered the fleet to speed up. The cruiser formation headed by the Swan quickly dived downwards, and after paying close to fifteen warships After being sunk at a cost, it finally broke away from the frontal firing line.
In this way, they will not block the artillery fire of friendly forces. If the enemy wants to attack them, they must be mentally prepared to be beaten violently by friendly forces.
The firepower directed at her was obviously much weaker. Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed the route again, trying to stay as far away from the main fleet as possible, and looking for opportunities to outflank from behind.
"The shield restarts."
"Arrived at the designated location."
Alyssa marked it on the star map.
"Project mines."
The mine spreaders hanging on both sides of the Swan rotated and aimed at the coordinates to scatter a large number of mines. The friendly cruisers following behind also followed suit.
The mines launched by the cruiser fleet can slightly interfere with the enemy fleet's route. It is regarded as an auxiliary. The actual combat effect is actually higher than that of rockets.
Then the fleet began to turn, getting farther and farther away from the friendly main fleet, and began to try to outflank the enemy from behind.
"Engine light detected, confirmed to be a magic mecha."
"The number is three hundred and still increasing!"
"Order carrier-based aircraft to attack, focusing on defense, don't rush too far forward."
This motley fleet does not seem to have a supporting parade Facing Alyssa's flanking attack, the fleet directly dispatched carrier-based aircraft instead of the usual battle custom of sending out a patrol fleet to intercept.
At this critical moment, the first thing Li Chengqi said, who had not spoken for several days, was:
"Um... do you want to eat some fruit?"
"..."
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Li Chengqi was stunned for a moment when Alyssa looked at the operation. No, I clearly saw what you just did before going to bed. After entering the base, you couldn't complete regular supplies and maintenance even after a night's sleep. Why did you start fighting again as soon as you opened your eyes, and the fight was so lively?
Li Chengqi watched for a long time without understanding what was going on. It was as if the Fifth Fleet suddenly started working with a bunch of motley crews.
But then Li Chengqi had a second thought, hey, no matter what the reason was, just fight him first.
At this time, the takeout delivery guy just arrived, so Li Chengqi asked Alyssa if she wanted some?
Obviously, Alyssa doesn’t have this skill. The rotating yellow indicator light in the hangar was particularly dazzling. All staff retreated into the safety compartment and the indicator light changed from yellow to green.
The airlock door of the hangar slowly opened, and a laser runway extended outwards along the hangar.
The catapult made a sharp scream, accompanied by sparks and steam. A carrier-based aircraft was ejected and formed near the mobile aircraft carrier. Then, according to the route instructions sent by the flight commander, it went to intercept enemy plane.
Human beings are incredibly adaptable creatures.
Alyssa’s soldiers are actually just new recruits, they have only been in the army for a few months.
But these few months of tempering in the flames of war have turned these new recruits into veterans.
After all, those who can’t do it are already gone by now.
When he first joined Alyssa, he almost hit his friendly warship when launching a carrier-based aircraft. Now this group of people can fly in formation skillfully and use this time to assign tasks during the flight. Simply discuss tactics to avoid being rushed later.
Soon, dense red dots appeared on everyone's airborne radar. Through the viewfinder, the engine light shining in the dark star field could also be captured with the naked eye.
Perhaps it has to do with Alyssa's reputation in the military. The mobile aircraft carrier under her command was the first to be refitted, and all its members are equipped with the latest magic mechas.
These were not originally bought from Storm Kingdom for emergency purposes, but models that the Spinwater Federation improved on Storm Kingdom’s magic mechas based on the suggestions of frontline officers and soldiers and the efforts of rear R&D technicians. .
In contrast, the Red Maple Republic, which is in the midst of life and death, does not have this wealth for the time being, so it would be good to use some.
So when the two sides get close to visual distance, they will see that there are only a small number of magic mechas on the other side. Most of them are space fighters, and the models are also relatively old. They are old and sealed ones. The planes were pulled out.
But one thing is certain, although this is a miscellaneous military fleet and does not look like the Red Maple Republic Army at all, at least the carrier-based aircraft does belong to the Red Maple Republic.
The advancement in the void was very fast, and the two sides almost started strangulating as soon as they came into visual distance.
The magic mecha modified by the Xianshui Federation has only slight differences from the original version in appearance, but in fact, the things inside are completely different. It is more responsive and equipped with assisted driving functions and other functions. Several improvements.
The most obvious part is actually the weapon.
The new model of magic mecha abandons the 40mm rapid-fire cannon as its main weapon, replacing it with 58mm shaped explosive bombs or four-tube continuous ion beams.
The advantage is that the recoil is lower, preventing the recoil caused by physical weapon shooting from affecting the mobility of the magic mecha, and it is more powerful than the 40mm rapid-fire cannon.
And the 58mm shaped charge bombs can still be used interchangeably with the anti-aircraft gun ammunition on battleships, ensuring the versatility of parts and reducing logistical pressure.
Using energy weapons such as four-tube continuous ion beams, the firepower density is higher than that of rapid-fire cannons, and it can further reduce the pressure on logistics and transportation of physical ammunition.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, energy consumption has skyrocketed.
Although the Xianshui Federation has expanded the capacity of the magic mecha and the energy storage is 20% higher than the original, the actual energy consumption is more than 70% higher than the original version, and the battery life is greatly reduced.
It doesn't sound like a mature weapon, but in fact, considering the average survival time of pilots, the problem of weak battery life is actually not obvious.
Anyway, before the energy is exhausted, the pilot will either return to refill the liquefied magic power, or he will die on the battlefield. Long battery life is of little use.
