Chapter 1380 Encounter in the Zhenguang Galaxy (6)
"The enemy fleet's loss rate exceeds 20%."
"The explosion flash was visually observed, and no trace of being hit by a naval gun was found."
"It must be Li Chengqi."
Alyssa, who was so angry with the recruits that her head hurt, unexpectedly discovered that Li Chengqi, who usually made her head hurt, was actually the most pleasing guy in the fleet.
——I feel like I’m going crazy.
But having said that, it is normal for the battle situation to end like this.
After all, the recruits on our side are mainly concentrated on aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. The cruisers are basically veterans who have fought all the way, so there is no need to worry about their technical and tactical levels.
In the cruise fleet of the Red Maple Republic, veterans have become a rare breed. Most of them, including the cruisers, are recruits. It is normal for the loss rate to exceed 20%.
But having said that, Alyssa also saw from the radar that the enemy fleet was charging towards them.
All cruisers, no matter what shape they are designed, will be equipped with a ram on the bow.
Even though some captains have been driving cruisers for a lifetime, they may not even use them.
The power of the collision angle is actually very great. With the cruiser's size of more than 300 meters and its strong acceleration ability, the collision angle will be directly hit. Even the frigate will be seriously damaged, and it will even be directly damaged in two knots.
But the premise is that you have to be able to get close.
There is a collision angle because the cruiser is flexible and can maximize its collision angle capabilities.
There is no need to hit the corner because it is difficult to get close. There is no conflict between these two points.
Judging from the radar, the enemy is obviously advancing at full speed. Maybe it will be overspeeding when it gets closer. This is obviously planning to come up and fight with the bayonet.
Why do they do this?
Even if the loss rate exceeds 20%, they will not be unable to fight. According to Alyssa's estimation, they will have to fight for at least several hours to determine the winner. If it is impossible, the enemy's retreat is not an option.
Why do you have to come up and fight so hard?
Li Chengqi was too lazy to think about it, but as the captain and the commander of this cruiser fleet, Alyssa must consider the significance of the enemy's actions.
Even if Shi Lezhi is passionate, this kind of situation should not happen to a captain, especially a fleet commander.
Something is wrong, something fishy.
Alyssa was keenly aware that the other party was not just coming up to fight with a bayonet.
She quickly sets a new route map and sends it to all friendly ships:
"Notify the entire fleet to launch void torpedoes at the enemy, and then maneuver according to the new route map."
If you come up to fight with a bayonet, I won't fight with you. I'll look at the situation first.
The two fleets were originally facing each other. The Red Maple Republic was charging, while the fleet of the Spinwater Federation started to turn ninety degrees and turned sideways after firing a wave of torpedoes.
"The enemy is accelerating again. It should be flying at super speed."
"The secondary battery will continue to fire, and the torpedoes will help us complete the maneuver."
Due to design problems, the cruiser's main guns can only fire forward and cannot rotate in all directions, so once it turns sideways, only the secondary guns can output.
But don't forget the torpedoes just fired.
The fleet of more than a hundred warships turned to the left like a school of fish. The Red Maple Republic fleet advanced at super speed, clearly crossing the dangerous red line.
This red line refers to the distance between the two warships. After crossing the red line, whether it is the main gun or the secondary gun, it will basically not miss.
Several friendly warships that turned a step too late were damaged, but from Alyssa's command system, only one friendly warship's signal disappeared. But at this time, due to the overspeeding of the Red Maple Republic fleet, they were playing against the torpedoes. When the Swan led the fleet to complete the turn, the torpedoes that had just been fired also reached the location of the Red Maple Republic fleet.
A series of huge orange flashes appeared on the starboard side of the bridge. Alyssa called up the optical sighting system. She found more than twenty flashes by sight alone. An Yun even reported that the torpedo enemy loss rate exceeded 40%.
At the same time, the fleet's secondary guns were also firing, cooperating with the torpedoes to continue fire coverage.
Since it has reached the red line, the shells are almost always fired, and the loss rate of enemy warships is still increasing rapidly.
Generally speaking, when the loss rate reaches 70%, this fleet can basically be considered to have been annihilated. They do not have any ability to threaten the cruising fleet anymore.
This is why cruisers rarely use it even though they have a collision angle. If you charge with a bayonet, you will probably die on the way to the charge.
It stands to reason that because of this wave of enemy operations, the winner between the cruiser fleets should have been decided. After clearing out the remaining enemies, the Swan will lead the cruisers to sneak attack the enemy's main fleet from the corner, not seeking to kill but only to harass.
This is also standard operation for fleet operations.
But why, Alyssa felt that things were not that simple, and it felt like there was still a threat hidden somewhere.
While she was thinking hard, Alyssa suddenly saw that three green dots belonging to friendly forces on the command page were suddenly missing.
The missing friendly troops were at the rear left, and the enemy's naval guns should not be able to hit them. Even if it was a stray bullet, it would be too abnormal for three ships to disappear at once.
She immediately became alert and contacted the friendly warships near the disappearing green dot:
"Report damage."
"Two aircraft carriers and a cruiser were confirmed destroyed."
"Where did the attack come from?"
"The ballistic computer is working backwards and cannot accurately assess it, but sighting reports say it came from the left front on our course."
Front left?
There is nothing there, nothing?
If there was something like a meteorite belt, it could still be called a sneak attack, but Alyssa looked at it with an optical observation device and found that it was a completely empty star field.
The feeling that something was wrong reached its peak. At this time, through the sighting system, Alyssa saw engine lights lighting up in the dark void, and a large number of ion beams came towards her fleet.
"There's an ambush! Escape!"
Until just now, no engine light was found. Could it be that the ambush fleet slowly drifted over by controlling the nozzle with attitude?
The fleet that had just completed the turn received Alyssa's order and began to maneuver in a small area. However, due to the sudden incident, a large number of ships were still hit.
"The loss rate of our warships exceeds 10%!"
"Lock with visual lock, fight back! Fight back quickly!"
Alyssa's steering operation actually saved the cruiser fleet. If there was no steering, the sneak attack just now would have hit from the side and rear.
But now it has become the left front to respond to the enemy.
At this moment, the tracer bullets and ion beam light slightly illuminated the outline of the ship that had been hidden in the darkness. The other party also knew that it could no longer be hidden, so it simply turned on the navigation lights.
This is done to prevent one's own people from hitting one's own people. After all, a fierce artillery battle is not impossible in total darkness.
It was at this time that Alyssa saw the emblems printed on the attacking warships through the optical sighting system.
That is a battleship from the neutral space station called Knight Agency.
