643. The Battle of Christophersis (9)
Thousands of missiles are launched at the same time , and then explode at the same time, the scene is spectacular even in the vast space!
The missiles are launched densely in a sea, and then explode at the designated location. The explosion of each missile forms a deadly radiation cloud in the universe, and this radiation cloud is still expanding. In just over ten seconds, the radiation cloud completely enveloped thousands of kilometers in front of the fleet!
The Galactic Republic fighter group flying at full speed crashed directly into it!
Fighters that came into contact with the radiation cloud began to decompose almost instantly. The shields were melted, the metal was brittle, and within a few seconds, they were directly broken into pieces by the radiation cloud containing powerful radiation energy!
The fighter jet piloted by Obi-Wan Kenobi was slightly behind. After sensing the danger, he immediately ordered all the fighters to turn, but it was still a step too late. He just saw this This tragic scene.
Of the first wave of 1,100 fighter jets, at least 800 flew directly into the radiation cloud. Then their communications were instantly interrupted, and before they even had time to send out their final screams, they were broken down into space dust by the radiation cloud.
"All fighter squadrons, retreat immediately! Repeat, retreat immediately!!" Obi-Wan Kenobi shouted loudly in the communication. Wolf-Yularen's retreat order was also sent at the same time.
The remaining Galactic Republic fighter groups had actually begun to turn around and flee. The terrifying scene of this wave of missile salvos made them lose every ounce of courage to continue fighting.
However, before they flew too far, ten dazzling beams of light passed by them, and then hit the Jaeger-class battlecruiser directly in front of the Republic fleet!
A total of three Jaeger-class battlecruisers were hit, and their shields were penetrated almost instantly. The aftermath of the attack fell on the armor, and debris suddenly flew everywhere! One of the Jaeger-class hangar platforms was penetrated, and the cabin inside suddenly burst into flames. The fire was ignited by the oxygen produced inside the battleship, and was quickly extinguished by the vacuum of the universe. As the air continued to spurt out, tongues of fire spurted out. Several hundred meters away.
"Our three warships suffered heavy damage and all lost their combat capabilities!" The combat staff turned around and shouted to Admiral Wolf-Yularen.
"Immediately analyze the opponent's attack! Is it a kinetic energy weapon? The Cole-class battlecruiser of Dawn Planet is equipped with axis-based kinetic energy weapons." Wolf-Yularen asked.
"No, it's an energy weapon! According to analysis, it's a fusion ion cluster bound by a magnetic field!" A technician immediately came to a conclusion from the computer data.
"Damn it! Where did these separatists get so many powerful warships? First it was the Cole class, and today there is the Martha class and this unknown warship!" Wolf-Yularen punched the control On the stage, "The entire army retreats and defends on the other side of the planet Christophsis!"
The Republic fleet immediately began to turn and move, and at this time, the Separatist fleet was fully fired!
The triple-mounted main gun at the front of the Martha-class heavy cruiser fires a powerful pulse laser, and the quadruple-mounted anti-ship missile launchers on both sides are also turned on. Large anti-ship missiles up to 5 meters long Launch directly! The nearby Republic fighter jets immediately focused on these missiles and opened fire to intercept them, while the laser cannons on the Jaeger-class battlecruisers also fired with full force. However, these missiles were also equipped with shield generators, and they were extremely fast. During the flight, Still dodging irregularly.
Fighters and close-in fire intercepted about two-thirds of the anti-ship missiles, but the rest all hit!
The huge power of the large anti-ship missile caused the shield of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser to flash continuously. Not only that, the explosion also exploded an orange radiation cloud. These radiation clouds actually penetrated behind the shield under the influence of the magnetic field. , directly began to damage and disintegrate the armor of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser!
The maintenance robots equipped with the battleship were launched from the cabin one after another, trying to repair the continuously damaged battleship armor, but as soon as they got close, they were directly broken into pieces by the radiation cloud!
The radiation cloud lasted for nearly a minute before gradually dissipating. In that area, the battleship's armor had been decomposed to create a large hole, and exposed wires and electronic components continued to emit sparks.
Under constant blows, the fleet of the Galactic Republic continued to retreat. They flew along the equator of the planet Christophsis, and finally got rid of the pursuit of these warships and hid on the other side of the planet to reorganize.
This battle lasted less than 20 minutes, but the Galactic Republic's fleet lost nearly 900 fighter jets, and three Jaeger-class battlecruisers were severely damaged and rendered combat-capable.
The fleet of the Confederation of Independent Systems did not continue to pursue. After they merged with Admiral Trench's fleet, the hangar doors of these battleships opened and dozens of APOD-33 transport planes flew out, heading towards the planet Christophsis. landing.
At this time, the screen on the bridge of Admiral Trench's flagship showed the indifferent face of Severance Tann. She said coldly: "The Republic's fleet is temporarily retreating, but this time This victory is not decisive. Before they notice the combat mode of our warships, they must open up the situation on the ground as soon as possible."
"If you are talking about those transport planes just now...tsk tsk tsk, that's not enough. "Admiral Trench tapped his palm with his pointer and said slowly.
"The Dawn Planet cannot send too many troops to participate in this battle, but the contents of these transport planes are enough to surprise the ground forces of the Republic." Severance Tann said coldly , "We still have 3 hours to prepare. After that, we will launch a general attack on the fleet of the Galactic Republic, and then take advantage of the chaos to launch the plan!"
Dozens more spaceships left hyperspace and came to the battlefield, including 30 Xingzi-class maintenance drone carriers, as well as some transport ships delivering supplies. These transport ships immediately went to the Martha-class heavy cruisers to replenish the missiles, and some went to the I-shaped battleships to replace capacitors.
Those I-shaped battleships are clearly Behemoth-class Battlecruisers! The second-generation main battleship of the Tyranid Empire in "StarCraft"!
This is also a warship jointly researched and manufactured by the Fourth Civilization Tyran Heavy Industry and the Interstellar Banking Association after Tang Xiao and San-Ciel reached an agreement.
In "StarCraft", the first-generation main battleship of the Tyranids is the Leviathan-class. This kind of battleship is not technically difficult, but its combat performance is also very average. As an improved second-generation main battleship, the Behemoth-class is a very powerful and practical battleship that has been baptized by war in the "StarCraft" plot!
The Behemoth-class battlecruiser is 1,300 meters in length, shaped into an I-shape, and has powerful firepower. It is equipped with 4 heavy pulse laser cannons as main guns, 8 secondary guns, and 50 sets of close defense systems. What's even more terrifying about this kind of battleship is the semi-axis-based energy weapon equipped on it - the Yamato Cannon!
The Yamato Cannon uses magnetic field constraints to create a fusion ion cluster containing extremely high energy, and then launches it at an ultra-high speed through electromagnetic acceleration! A single shot will consume more than half of the energy reserve of the battleship's reactor, and then it will take a long time to recharge.
But the power of this Yamato cannon has just been demonstrated on the Jaeger-class battlecruiser!
