Chapter 51 Melee Part 1


Chapter 51 Melee

Although the warships and technology are far behind, the combined fleet of the Shatta tribe is three times the size of Halo, and it has a home field advantage, and the fleet will jump in at any time.

After just watching for a while, Li Qing could conclude that it would be difficult for Halo to succeed in this operation.

But now comes the problem. Halo cannot succeed. Their strength is not as good as the Halo team, and they will definitely not be able to succeed.

Moreover, Halo came first, and news of the war had already spread. It is estimated that enemy support is about to arrive. If Halo retreats, they will probably have to retreat as well.

He could think of this, and so could Yu Yuefei and others. Soon Ye Xiao said in the command channel:

"I think we can cooperate with Halo to win. This giant residential station is one of the cores of the Shatta Tribe United Civilization in the southern province. It is home to nearly a billion people. Even if we cooperate and divide it, we can plunder enough people. ”

Luo Taiyuan also nodded and said:

"I also agree. The enemy's defenders are much stronger than we expected. Halo cannot defeat us, let alone us. Only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation."

The people present were not stupid, they could understand this simple situation, and quickly decided to cooperate with Halo by majority vote.

Halo's side was not stupid either. They responded immediately and agreed to cooperate. They didn't even have time to decide on the distribution of the spoils. Yu Yuefei immediately ordered the fleet to enter the battlefield and cooperated with the Halo fleet from the other side to besiege the defenders of the Sand Tower Civilization. military.

Li Qing's mission has not changed. He and Ding Youran are still attacking together and assisting in the battle.

The fleets of Li Lie and Li Qi were all under his command, with a total of 17 cruisers, 42 destroyers, and 197 frigates. Except for the lack of battleships, conventional battleships were about to catch up with Lu Qing and Lu Dong brothers.

In the vast starry sky, countless dazzling beams of light traverse the starry sky. Every huge fireball splashed represents the sinking of a battleship.

The huge fleet entered the battlefield, stretching a distance of more than 100,000 kilometers from left to right.

By the time Li Qing's fleet met a fleet transferred from the foreign race, it was already an hour after the forward battle started.

When he saw that the approaching enemy fleet had 1 battleship, 31 cruisers, 67 destroyers, and 500 frigates, Li Qing's expression became slightly solemn. He quickly simulated the strength of both sides in his mind, as well as the capital he had, and came up with an idea. , said to everyone in the channel:

"There is a battleship. I am going to execute the decapitation tactic and sink that battleship first."

Li Lie said in the channel:

"What do you say?"

"I am going to divide the fleet into two parts. Li Lie's half of the fleet will be under my command. All the modified aircraft carriers and cruisers under your command, Li Lie, will be temporarily incorporated into Li Lie's fleet. When I fight with Li Qi's fleet and its main force, Li Lie will lead The fleet circled back to attack the enemy battleships, and used the aircraft carrier cruiser's space fighters to surround and kill the battleships. ”

The so-called aircraft carrier cruiser is to replace the cruiser's cannon and salvo modules with hangar modules, which can be equivalent to a small aircraft carrier generally relying on space fighters in the hangar module to fight.

In addition to frigates, destroyers, cruisers and battleships can be converted into small aircraft carriers.

After the standard cruiser is modified, the bow can accommodate 10 hangar slots, the central core can accommodate 20 hangar slots, and the stern has 8 hangar slots, for a total of 38 hangar slots, each hangar has a total of 36 There are exactly one space fighter plane in a squadron, which adds up to a total of 1,368 space fighter planes.

In fact, the modification of aircraft carriers and cruisers is not very expensive. It is more expensive than space fighters.

A fifth-generation Deep Space Phantom fighter jet costs 5 million, and 1,368 of them total 6.84 billion star dollars.

However, although the aircraft carrier has strong combat effectiveness, the losses of space fighters are also high. Generally, an aircraft carrier-type cruiser will be equipped with a large hangar-type industrial ship, which is equipped with a large number of spare fighters. After a tragic battle, the space fighters will suffer too much loss. It can replenish and maintain the battleship's combat effectiveness at any time.

It can be said that converting a standard cruiser into a small aircraft carrier requires more than 10 billion star yuan from scratch and logistics.

Li Lie and Li Qi each only equipped one ship, and they were reluctant to fight in small-scale battles.

This time facing a powerful enemy, they could not bear to give up. Two small aircraft carriers were organized into the fleet and separated from the main force and turned to one side. Li Qing led the fleet to face the alien fleet head-on.

"Line up in a row and face Todoroki head on!"

The enemy's fleet was not much larger than theirs, and only one battleship was a big threat. Li Qing did not avoid the attack temporarily, but directly attacked it.

"Boom!"

The main gun of the battleship with a main gun range of up to 5,000 kilometers suddenly lit up, and a dazzling particle light spear blasted through the battlefield. A destroyer was hit by the light spear. The thick energy shield was directly shattered, and the armor was melted through in an instant. A huge hole was blown out of the ship's hull.

The battle damage was immediately uploaded to Li Qing. Seeing the miserable projection of the destroyer under attack in front of him, Li Qing raised his eyelids slightly and ordered:

"Destroyer No. 18 retreated to intensify maintenance, and the fleet kept moving forward at a constant speed."

Just the most basic particle light spear can almost kill a fully equipped destroyer in an instant. If the configuration is almost replaced with a fourth-level shield and armor module, this gun can directly kill a destroyer in an instant.

Particle Spear: A heavy energy spear capable of firing high-energy particles that can melt armor.

Type: Instant, Energy.

Damage: 35000-55000.

Rate of fire: 150 seconds/shot.

Hit: 90%.

Range: 5000 kilometers.

Fixed: -25% shield damage.

Modified: +25% armor damage.

This is the intimidating power of a battleship. It is an absolute main battleship. The power of its X-large slot main gun is extremely terrifying. As long as the gun is fired, it will be damaged.

The only good thing is that its rate of fire is very slow. Each shot takes up to three minutes to cool down and recharge.

Taking advantage of this time, the warships of both sides quickly closed the distance and soon entered the main gun range of the L large slot. Li Qing's side relied on the psyker's 20% range bonus to charge the muzzle in advance.

"Concentrate all main guns to mark the destroyer!"

Following Li Qing's order, a round of fierce artillery fire was fired, tearing a Shata civilization destroyer into two pieces on the spot, paralyzing it and burning in the void.

After a round of bombardment, they also entered the range of the opponent's large weapons. After two rounds of dazzling fire, the two frigates rushing forward turned into two fireballs and were blown to pieces. Nearly 300 million stars were lost.

Without blinking an eyelid, Li Qing remarked a new attack target, another destroyer, and then ordered the fleet to adjust the attack angle and recharge the weapons.

Compared with the enemy's attack targets being frigates, the targets he set were all destroyers.

The reason is simple. Among the four types of warships, destroyers are the fastest. They have technological advantages. If they can destroy the opponent's destroyers on a large scale and their scale is small enough, they will be able to take advantage of speed and have absolute initiative.

Everyone knows what it means to have the initiative on the battlefield. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

The only variable is the battleship with an ultra-long range, but the battleship has two cruisers and aircraft carriers to deal with it. As long as you are willing to pay a sufficient price, it is still easy to deal with a single battleship.

Three minutes later, another thick particle light spear penetrated the void. The target destroyer suffered a certain attack in the previous exchange of fire and the shield energy was insufficient. When the particle light spear hit the ship's hull, it melted through a huge center of the ship's hull on the spot. The hollow caused a brilliant explosion.

They retaliated without hesitation and once again focused their fire on a destroyer.

The Shata Civilized Fleet followed suit and concentrated fire, blasting two frigates again, and another 300 million star dollars were lost.

At the same time, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and soon they are within the combat range of the frigates, and have completely entered the battle stage.

At this time, if either side wants to retreat, it must abandon part of its fleet to fall behind.

The two sides went back and forth like this. Each back and forth meant that a destroyer and two frigates were bombed. At the same time, every two rounds, a destroyer was bombarded by the battleship's main gun. In summary, their side was at a disadvantage.

But this disadvantage began to reverse after Li Lie made a large circle around the enemy's radar detection range and got into position. A total of 2,736 fifth-generation deep space ghost fighters from the two cruisers were released outside the radar detection range, and then the sky was full of fighter jets heading towards the battleship.

At this time, their fleet has entered a state of full combat, and most of the battleships have pushed forward to engage Li Qing's fleet. Although there are a small number of escort fleets around the battleships, the number is too small.

The technological level of the key Shata Tribe Alliance is between the third and fourth generations. Most of these conventional non-main fleets use weapon accessories of third generation technology. Under the suppression of two generations of technology, interception firepower is difficult to achieve regardless of power, rate of fire or hit. poses a fatal threat to the fleet.

Li Lie, who has experienced many battles, has an extremely accurate grasp of the battlefield situation. When a huge fleet of aircraft enters the battlefield, he immediately activates the active effect of his talent.

Firepower (Blue): This naval commander believes in firepower.

Passive attributes: All ship weapons under your command have attack power +20% and hit +10.

Active effect: Activate the skill effect, the attack power of all ship weapons under your command will be +30%, and the hit rate will be +20. It lasts for 30 minutes and cools down for 10 days.

The active and passive effects stack up, resulting in a total of 50% damage bonus and 30 extra hit points.

Then, instead of attacking the battleship, the aircraft group attacked the frigate group composed of 40 frigates next to the battleship.

Li Lie stood on the bridge of the command ship. On the empty bridge in front was a huge battlefield projection. He moved his hands on it, and the battlefield projection also changed its angle as he manipulated it with his hands.

Although Li Qing's order was to behead the battleship, how he beheaded it depended on his actual operation.

Being able to fully obey the commander's orders and execute them fully is a qualified commander.

But if you want to be an excellent commander who can stand alone, mechanical execution of orders will definitely not work. You must have your own insights. Not only can you execute orders perfectly and complete them, but you must also do better on this basis. Able to flexibly execute commands.

In his opinion, directly attacking battleships can indeed interfere with battleship operations and make the frontal battlefield less stressful.

However, if you directly attack the battleship and ignore the escort fleet, with the battleship's shield and armor thickness, even more than two thousand space fighters will not be able to destroy it for a while. At this stage, not only the attack of the escort fleet will cause considerable damage and losses to the fleet , the enemy will also calmly mobilize battleships from the front to support.

But if you attack the frigate with all your strength first, the firepower of the aircraft fleet can sink the frigate in a short time.

At this time, the battleship has become a lonely man, and a large number of fleets will inevitably be mobilized from the front line to escort it. At this time, not only the pressure on the front line drops sharply, but the battleship here is also a turtle in the urn.

It is not that easy to mobilize the fleet during the melee. The front line does not have the advantage. Once the battleships cannot support with their main guns, and a part of the fleet is mobilized to leave, the front line will immediately collapse, leading to the collapse of the entire line.

That’s what he thought, and that’s how he implemented it.

When the talent is turned on, the firepower of the fleet instantly increases by 50%. Coupled with the enhanced hit, the effective firepower is almost doubled. In less than five minutes, all 40 frigates were destroyed by densely packed space fighters.

Li Qing, who was on the frontal battlefield, immediately felt the weakening of the enemy's offensive, and then saw part of the fleet retreating while fighting, while another part of the fleet, which was obviously used as cannon fodder, was pulling away to expand the depth of the battle.

He immediately contacted Li Lie and soon learned the results of the battle there, and immediately ordered:

"Everyone has them, bite them hard."

At the same time, he said to Li Qi:

"The destroyers No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, No. 11, No. 14 to No. 19 and the No. 144 to No. 194 frigates are halfway out of the battlefield. If the enemy's main force retreats, immediately follow up and intercept."

At this point, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Unless there was a fleet to support from other battlefields, the battle would be stable.

He counted the losses. In less than half an hour of fighting, his side had lost a total of 11 destroyers and 31 frigates. The damage was serious and 1 cruiser, 5 destroyers and 18 frigates had withdrawn from the battle. The losses were very heavy. big.

It can be expected that the enemy will lose some warships later in its desperate struggle and counterattack, and the total loss is estimated to be over 10 billion.

But as long as they can win, the harvest after the war will definitely be extremely rich, and they will definitely be able to make up for all the losses and still make profits.

Four minutes later, as he expected, part of the enemy fleet began to evacuate. Li Qi, who had been prepared, immediately led the fleet away from the battlefield and followed up with the interception at a faster speed.

With no way to escape, more than two thousand Deep Space Ghost fighter jets from the other side surrounded the battleship and attacked frantically. The huge battleship was unable to fight back and had to start evacuating to the other side of the battlefield.

The battleship's firepower is extremely fierce, but it all has L large weapon slots and G missile slots. Such powerful weapons are fine against battleships, but it is impossible to hit small, super fast and flexible space fighters.

It is equivalent to a Tyrannosaurus rex facing a swarm of blood-sucking mosquitoes. It has no choice but to be beaten passively.

As soon as the battleships evacuate, the remaining enemy ships are already on the verge of defeat due to their retreat. This will cause an even greater drop in morale. With the sudden withdrawal of several frigates, an even greater rout will occur, leading to a complete rout in an instant.

Li Qing restrained his fleet to pursue for a certain distance and then retreated to clean up the battlefield. He harvested more than a dozen weapons blueprints, 3 frigate blueprints and 1 destroyer blueprint.

The loot on the regular battlefield is higher in terms of explosion rate and quality than that of wild monsters. After all, the risks on the battlefield are so high, how can the rewards not be generous? (End of chapter)
