Chapter 1475: Crimson Galaxy Suppression Operation (2)
After 6 hours of leisurely sailing, the third and fifth fleets arrived at a galaxy with a star of crimson as the last jump ended. .
That star is not a red giant. It is still very young and is simply red as a whole.
There are a total of five planets in this galaxy, three of which are gaseous planets, one habitable planet, and one icy planet.
The Third and Fifth Fleets appeared near the frozen planet farthest from the star, and when the jump ended, the light of blurred ion beams could be seen, appearing on the glass of the bridge like fireworks. .
Friendly forces are still fighting fiercely with the enemy, and according to our intelligence, the enemy's reinforcements have not yet arrived.
Lieutenant General Ken immediately issued an order, and the third and fifth fleets launched pulse flights to close the distance with the enemy fleet.
The pulse flight allowed the fleet to fly directly from the vicinity of the frozen planet to the gaseous planet. The gaseous planet is also like Jupiter, with an oversized Great Red Spot, like an incomparable giant eye, watching Everything that happens in the void.
"The whole ship is in combat mode, order the cruising fleet to organize and move according to the route map I sent."
Further ahead is the battlefield where friendly forces and enemy forces are fighting, the third and fifth fleets Reorganizing the formation outside the artillery battle, he looked menacing and wanted to attack the enemy from the side.
When the jump began, the enemy fleet must have received the signal. The third and fifth fleets began to arrange their formations, and the enemy fleet also began to change their formations, from bombardment to defensive formations.
Somehow, the troops are absolutely inferior and they still don’t retreat.
Are you expecting more friendly troops to turn things around?
The enemy force is probably the size of two fleets, and may have been strengthened. Judging from the radar signals, the total number is around 1,780 ships.
I guess this includes the Planetary Defense Forces of nearby habitable planets.
The Xuanshui Federation's total number of fleets, including the increase in personnel, is close to 3,000 warships. Such a huge military disadvantage cannot be made up by tactics, unless there is a major tactical error on the Xuanshui Federation's side. Otherwise, a sure win.
Alyssa took a special look to make sure that there were no reactor jammers or other weird-looking ships in the enemy fleet. If all goes well, this will be a crushing game.
Immediately, the 3rd and 5th fleets maintained their formation and began to press towards the enemy, and soon entered the firing range, cooperating with friendly forces in the other direction to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the enemy.
Before the arrival of the Third and Fifth Fleets, the two sides had been engaged in fierce fighting for three days. It was obvious that their energy was unsustainable, and the specific manifestation was that the barrage of counterattacks was obviously not accurate enough.
Lieutenant General Ken gave the order again and the fleet continued to move forward.
The enemy is obviously out of shape. At this time, you can be bolder and get closer to increase the hit rate and eliminate these enemies in this galaxy as soon as possible.
Of course, this is possible as soon as possible and will probably last more than ten hours. Just because of the arrival of the third and fifth fleets, the balance of victory has begun to tilt.
The huge fleet moves in the artillery battle, and the front line is constantly changing.
However, the cruiser and mobile aircraft carrier units headed by the Swan have been hiding behind the main force, and it is not yet time for them to appear.
After fighting like this for almost two hours, Alyssa, who was staring closely at the battlefield, heard the beep beeping from the communicator.
“The order has been issued, arrive at the predetermined position.”
“Notify the fleet to act according to the combat plan, cruising speed!”
“Understood, one-half ship Speed!”
After receiving the order, the Swan led the cruiser formation to break away from the main fleet and started pulse flight again.
About three minutes later, the pulse flight ended, and the cruiser formation was blocked by a huge meteorite belt.
At the other end of the meteorite belt is the habitable planet in the Crimson Galaxy. The cruiser formation will be responsible for suppressing the Planetary Defense Force and opening a channel for the landing force.
“Pay attention to the enemy troops that may be hiding in the meteorite belt. Open the air radar, scanner, and everything you can open for me.” To reach the habitable planet, you must pass through this meteorite belt. The Federation once used the meteorite belt to ambush the Red Maple Republic fleet. There was no reason that the opponent would not be able to use such a simple strategy.
So be careful.
Alyssa issued a new command, ordering the fleet to pass under the meteorite belt. If there are enemy troops hidden in the meteorite belt, the fleet can launch a counterattack at any time.
The formation composed of more than 80 cruise ships and more than 40 mobile aircraft carriers quickly adjusted their attitude and followed the Swan to pass below.
At first, everything was quiet. Except for the occasional light from the main fleet reflected on the glass, there was nothing noteworthy.
It wasn’t until the fleet was nearly halfway through the journey that Villania suddenly reported:
“A gunner visually saw engine light appearing in the meteorite belt.”
Anyun also said:
"There is a vague signal response from the air radar, which may be space fighters and torpedoes."
Alyssa immediately ordered through the command system without hesitation:
"The entire fleet acted in accordance with plan No. 3. Release carrier-based aircraft immediately for air defense!”
After the combat plan was sent out, Alyssa had a premonition that there would be an ambush here when she looked at the star map, so she naturally didn’t panic now.
If the commander can make good predictions, of course his subordinates will not panic. Even if most of them are new recruits, they only need to act according to the plan issued before departure.
The aircraft carrier's electromagnetic ejection quickly ejected the carrier-based aircraft. The friendly forces completed their formation near the fleet. At this time, a large number of torpedoes exploded near the cruiser formation.
It was exploded by anti-aircraft artillery. The Red Maple Republic should have learned from the experience of lightning strikes in the meteorite belt of the Spinning Water Federation, but it may be that the actual conditions did not allow it, and they did not learn the most important point.
Quantity.
If the number of saturation attacks is not reached, it will not pose a threat to the fleet, even if the cruising fleet can withstand it.
Alyssa continued to let the fleet sail and adjusted the fleet route on the command system. The carrier-based aircraft of both the enemy and ours were already fighting in the meteorite belt overhead. From time to time, orange explosion flashes were reflected on the Swan. on the bridge of the ship, but it was no longer strange.
"Visually confirmed that the enemy cruise fleet is the Planetary Defense Force, waiting outside the meteorite belt."
The Red Maple Republic is really out of troops, and even the Planetary Defense Force has been brought in to replenish the number.
"Route change, the entire fleet is ready for artillery battle."
Alyssa issued a new order, and the fleet that was originally rushing towards the habitable planet began to turn, trying to come from the other side Break out of the meteorite belt.
After all, there is a fleet waiting in the front. If you rush out directly, you will put your head to the muzzle.
Seeing the cruise fleet turning, the Planetary Defense Force also started their engines and began to change positions again.
Theoretically, the two sides are now within bombardment distance, but with the meteorite belt in between, the accuracy of the bombardment is almost negligible. Even if they barely aim, they will be blocked by the meteorite.
Instead of firing randomly, it is better to change positions.
There is only one risk in doing this. If your own carrier-based aircraft cannot block the enemy's carrier-based aircraft, you may be hit by a torpedo during the change of position.
But when it comes to this, Alyssa is not worried at all.
