Chapter 1661 Battle of Broken Horn (5)


Chapter 1661 Battle of Broken Horn (5)

The communication channel was filled with the voices of teammates, some were reporting calmly, some were screaming before death, and some were meaningless roars whose meaning could not be identified.

Hall stretched out his hand to close the friendly channel. The information could not do anything but disturb his mind.

Lightning strikes didn't work as well as they should, even if the target was a group of cruisers.

After all, there were too many enemy planes coming to intercept. I felt that the title of largest combat aircraft fleet should be given to the Red Maple Republic.

Hall took a quick look and saw that on average, each friendly unit had to face more than two enemies at the same time. Even if the enemies mainly flew old space fighters, this number was too terrifying.

"Keep flying, and we will retreat after dropping the torpedoes."

Under this situation, even the flight commander began to panic, but Li Chengqi's voice remained very calm.

All approaching enemy planes will be destroyed by him, and even many enemy planes cannot reach the precise shooting range and will be detonated by Li Chengqi.

Still as always, the shooting ability is so accurate that it makes people frightened.

Li Chengqi was rarely obedient this time and did not rush in. Maybe even he felt that it was not a good thing to act without authorization in such a large-scale battle.

Hall glanced at the star map and found that he had reached the projection point. He turned the body posture, and four void torpedoes were immediately shot out. The pylon was ejected to avoid affecting the flexibility of the magic mecha.

There are also many friendly forces who have reached the projection point, but the damage caused by the void torpedo can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Only a few enemy cruisers were visually hit, and most of the torpedoes were destroyed by anti-aircraft guns on the way.

In other words, the number of carrier-based aircraft arriving at the projection point is still not enough.

Hall could only smack his lips, turn around and control the machine to follow Li Chengqi.

The current task is to return home, remount the torpedoes, and wait for new orders to launch lightning strikes again.

But it’s not easy to go back.

There are too many enemy fighter planes. Regardless of whether they have completed the task of projecting torpedoes or not, the vast majority of friendly forces are entangled by the enemy, making it difficult to escape.

No matter how much Li Chengqi could fight alone, he could not help all the friendly forces to rescue them. Even though Hall followed him, the two of them were like meteors speeding through the meteorite belt, and they still seemed to be a drop in the bucket.

Of course Hall knew that the most troublesome thing now was the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer, but let alone dealing with it, it would take a long time to break through the cruiser formation in front of it and face the main enemy force.

"Don't worry, it's still too early to tell the outcome."

As if he saw Hall's thoughts, Li Chengqi maintained the high-speed maneuver of the machine and said:

"I don't believe that the top management of the Xuanshui Federation has not prepared a backup plan, and it's not like we don't have support."

While speaking, Li Chengqi used a flying kick to knock away the enemy fighter plane that was trying to launch a sneak attack on the friendly forces, and fired two beams of Balkan, turning it into a fireball.

He then pointed behind Hall, turned around and saw the huge planet fortress surrounding the royalist fleet approaching.

Speaking of reinforcements, reinforcements are coming.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The royalist fleet came together with the Fifth Fleet, but the royalist faction did not accept the command of the Spinning Water Federation and was a friendly force with independent decision-making power. This war was not just a conflict between the two superpowers, but also a conflict between the royalists and the republican government, and they could not stand idly by.

It's just that it's unwise to end the war rashly when the situation is unclear in the early stages of the war, so in the middle and early stages they only operated underground, or played emotional cards. But now, if they don't play, there will be no chance for them to play.

Since the Royalist fleet did not accept command, they did not join the Fifth Fleet to join the main force. Instead, they stood outside the battlefield at their own pace and approached the battlefield step by step.

This approach was actually criticized by the Spinning Water Federation Command. It felt like waiting for the snipe and the clam to fight for the fisherman's profit. However, when the Red Maple Republic Army activated the reactor jammer, the royalist fleet had a huge advantage. effect.

They approached from the rear of the cruiser formation, and as soon as they entered the artillery range, they immediately targeted the Red Maple Republic Army's cruiser formation.

Even though the Red Maple Republic Army has thousands of cruisers, after all, it is just a fleet composed of cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers. It will be very weak in a head-to-head battle against real main warships.

Not to mention, there is a huge planet fortress with a diameter of more than three thousand kilometers.

To deal with the cruiser fleet, it is enough to use the long-range anti-ship ion beam on the fortress, and there is no need to activate the main gun.

The brilliance of a salvo completely overwhelmed the main guns of all the cruisers. The Red Maple Republic's cruiser formation was certainly not blind, but because it was entangled by the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation, it was not easy to retreat and dodge. .

The result was two or three volleys, and almost one-third of the cruise fleet was destroyed, which was far greater than the damage caused by the two sides fighting for a long time.

At the same time, the royalist fleet began to broadcast full-screen to the entire space, and Princess Leia, the soul of the royalist faction, appeared on the broadcast.

Li Chengqi feels very familiar with this routine. If Princess Leia sings and dances, it will become Macross...

Of course, Princess Leia doesn't know how to sing and dance to become an idol. She just gave a long speech, expounding the unnecessaryness of this war and the irrationality of the Republic's illegal war, and advised the soldiers. Give up the fight and surrender, and join together to resist the government of the Republic.

Princess Leia's prestige among the people is not high, but the royal family's status among the people is very high.

After all, it has only been more than 20 years since the Red Maple Empire became a republic. Young people may not feel much about it, but for middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, the appearance of Princess Leia itself represents the illegitimacy of the republic's government.

Coincidentally, in order to supplement the insufficient number of soldiers, the Red Maple Republic recruited many people of this age group.

Although the enemy would not surrender with just one word, Princess Leia's speech did have a certain impact, and this impact will become more and more significant as the fleet of the Spin Water Federation approaches the capital step by step.

It's just that now, the fleet will not be allowed to raise the white flag just because of Princess Leia's words, and the battle is already at a fever pitch.

So, does Princess Leia’s speech have any positive effects?

Yes, reasonable.

It is equivalent to publicizing the legitimacy of his actions. If the royalist fleet launches an attack next, it will not be a civil war, but the killing of national traitors.

This operation is the same as Viola's side using Flavia as a banner. The people may not believe it, but you must have it, otherwise the position will be incorrect and not conducive to post-war rule.

So after Princess Leia's speech, everyone on the battlefield saw that the huge planet fortress began to shine brightly, which once overshadowed the brightness of the stars.

The fortress cannon starts charging.
