Chapter 1520: Battle of Ennaco (4)
1520, Battle of Ennaco (4)
Without giving the Republic fleet any time to react, 30 capital ships had already entered the battlefield!
But strictly speaking, the places where these 30 battleships entered the battlefield were not the same.
First, the 15 Hells Angel-class battlecruisers jumped directly to the place closest to the battlefield, and then immediately flew in the direction of the Xuanwu Titan battleship.
Then five Dunov-class battlecruisers jumped to a slightly farther place, and then joined the Cole-class battlecruisers to form the second echelon.
Finally, there are 10 disaster-class battlecruisers. They only entered a distance of 5 light minutes from the main battlefield. This distance is very suitable for the particle light spear, because in 5 minutes, some large battleships of the opponent often have no time to carry out larger tactical maneuvers, and some small-scale evasive actions can be left to the advanced ones. Fire control AI to calculate.
At this distance, the particle light spear can still maintain a good hit rate.
And more importantly, the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon equipped by the Knight and Chasseur classes has an effective range of 10 light minutes, but it is a sublight speed weapon after all. Beyond 5 light minutes, it is There is no hit rate at all. Disaster-level radar can completely detect the direction in which the opponent is firing, wash your face and brush your teeth, and then start to avoid it.
And it is almost impossible for the opponent's fighter jets to break away from the battle formation and run so far away to attack. Without the cover of large battleships, the fighter group can easily be shot down by the opponent's countermeasures.
To this day, the Galactic Republic still doesn't know why their fighter jets suddenly slowed down and were shot down in large numbers during the last encounter in the Parkes galaxy.
Although the fleet of the Fourth Civilization is not large in size, its moves are deadly. In just ten minutes, a very layered formation was formed, and it was constructed in front of the Republic fleet. An insurmountable barrier!
On the other side, General Kourney of the 17th Army, who realized that he had been deceived, was not furious. When they made such a deal with the Trade Alliance, they naturally thought of the possibility of failure.
He looked coldly at Lot-Dude in the holographic projection and said, "We are the 17th Army of the Republic. Who gave you the courage to deceive us?"
Those words He was not exaggerating much. After all, the 17th Army of the Republic, which has been strengthened many times, can indeed rank among the top in the galaxy in terms of fleet strength.
"The 17th Army? Maybe it will soon become the fifth army of the Republic to be destroyed. Let's take care of ourselves." Lott Dude didn't want to talk to him at all, so he closed the communication after leaving a sentence.
"Let all our Intelligence Department agents be dispatched! Regardless of the outcome of our main fleet, I will make sure that this old guy cannot see the sun of tomorrow!" Admiral Kourney said angrily.
"Finally, there is still nothing we can do..." Lynch-Hauser was extremely annoyed.
"Then there's no other way! Let's fight head-on!" Admiral Kourney said loudly, "Not all of the separatist main fleets in the Sethwenna sector have arrived! We still have a chance to fight the Xuanwu Let’s fight! Inform all ships to reorganize their formations! Fight to the death with the separatists!” As he was talking, five more Jaeger-class battlecruisers arrived from the planet Naboo with 20 DP-20 gunboats.
The reinforcements of the 17th Army are still continuing!
The total force in his hands is more than 5 times that of the separatists! This is Admiral Kourney's greatest strength.
The main fleet of the 17th Army began to adjust its formation and repositioned with two Commander II-class dreadnoughts as the core. Although Admiral Kourney is corrupt, he is still a front-line general who came out of the Republic Naval Academy and is still capable. Just now, even though he had sent his main battleship to bomb the planet Ennaco, the formation of the fleet was still intact.
In his hands, he still has the powerful firepower of two Commander II-class dreadnoughts, 5 Knight-class Star Destroyers, and a large number of Jaeger-class battlecruisers. He believes that he is absolutely Have the strength to defeat the Xuanwu!
However, when the Hells Angel-class battlecruiser entered the battlefield, Admiral Kourney saw the true combat capabilities of this mysterious battleship for the first time! At this time, he also began to doubt whether he was really capable of achieving his goal.
After the 15 Hells Angel-class battlecruisers entered the battlefield, they rushed towards the Republic fleet in a rampage manner. They turned the ship sideways and opened fire with eight heavy laser cannons lined up on the side.
Colorful laser beams were launched, shining on the Republic battleship, and the energy shield flashed violently.
After receiving the report from the shield team, Admiral Kourney realized that the reason why these colorful laser beams have so many colors is actually because the frequencies and wavelengths of these laser cannons are different. This is another form of saturation attack!
Laser cannons of different colors have different firing rates, maximum powers and ranges. They can attack in the most suitable way according to different targets. Because of this, the eight laser cannons on the left and right of the Hell Angel class can still kill a large number of fighter jets even if they are faced with a cluster of fighter jets.
What surprised Admiral Kourney even more was that this time he finally discovered the characteristics of the Hells Angels! This kind of battleship is completely like a turtle! The thickness of the armor and the strength of the defense are simply unbelievable!
He saw with his own eyes that the main gun of a Commander II-class dreadnought finally penetrated the Xuanwu's group shield after several bombardments, and then penetrated the seemingly weak deflector shield of a Hell's Angel-class.
But in the subsequent attack, the thick armor of the Hell's Angel-class ship actually withstood the main gun bombardment of the Commander II-class dreadnought!
You must know that even if the Commander II is so unbearable in front of the Xuanwu, it is still an 8,000-meter-long super battleship! Such a battleship's main gun can't destroy a thousand-meter-class battleship without deflector shield protection with one shot?
Then the severely damaged Hell's Angel-class ship was pulled to the rear of the battlefield by the Xuanwu with a tractor beam, and then a large number of Xingzi-class maintenance drone motherships moved in for emergency repairs. The Dunov-class battlecruiser also immediately replenished the Hell's Angel-class shield remotely, so that it could always maintain a certain level of defense and avoid being hit by other Republic battleships.
With these 15 Hells Angel-class battlecruisers, they were like turrets, rushing left and right, making it impossible for the fleet of the 17th Army to concentrate its firepower.
And at this time, the particle light spear launched by the disaster-class battlecruiser 5 light minutes away finally arrived!
The dazzling beam of light fell directly on the deflector shield of one of the Commander II-class dreadnoughts. When the beam gradually extinguished, a red light and another spiral light were left.
The particle light spear begins to exert its power!
