Chapter 1771 The Battle of Angstrom (9)
“The enemy fleet is detected to be rapidly advancing towards the Liuli No. 3 channel.”
“The defenses are ready to fire.
This is still the boundary of orbital defense firepower, but defense facilities are also deployed on Liuli 3, and even the basically completed star fort can actually fire
Look at the formation of the Red Pirates. , as if he was about to launch a desperate attack, but Soshiyang always felt that something was wrong
"Enemy ship fires!"
A few beams of light penetrated the darkness and slammed into the Flesh Tearers' flagship battle barge Galloping Horse. Then the shields flashed and collapsed, and part of the hull was torn off the armor, gas and Flames spread across the bow.
The Imperial Fleet then launched a counterattack. As the oldest battleship, the Red Pirates' battleship Lamentation was already struggling to cope with the continuous attacks from fighter planes. This time, it was directly counterattacked by the Eternal Loyalty and the Atonement. The Ascetic's flagship Eternal Night concentrated fire, its shield was directly defeated, and the upper deck was washed by macro-cannon shells, tearing the ship's spine gun array into pieces.
The battle quickly reached a new peak, with lasers piercing the hull, and a sphere composed of wreckage and flames rolling in the void.
"Strange..."
Soshyan's eyes were fixed on the battle projection, and the display screen became closer. The ship's markings become projections of the hull, all wrapped with tactical data.
"What exactly are the Red Pirates going to do?"
The screen began to change, focusing on the warships that had broken away from the Red Pirates' formation. A certain possibility flashed in Soshiyang's mind. Pass.
"Wait..."
"The enemy ship has entered the satellite attack range!"
The projection crackled and scaled down, filling the planet, fortifications, moons, and two attack fleets with cones of light.
Finally, Soshyan realized
"They are going to hit the satellite with the battleship! No! It is to hit the star fort!"
The vision swings again, quickly locking on those ships The outlines of the protruding battleships are vaguely visible, and they can be roughly seen as three cruisers.
“Attack them with all your strength! Stop them!”
Although Soshyan ordered so, the battleships had previously targeted the enemy's battleships, and it would take time to turn and attack those suicide ships.
At this time, the defensive firepower on the satellite began to fire, and the beams of light in the sky stirred the vacuum. At the same time, the weapons on the star fort also activated one after another, and the damage and loss values began to glow orange on the enemy's ship.
“Order the fighter formation and stop the enemy at all costs!”
The vision on the tactical instrument circled through the fleet, flying from one ship to another, and found one ship and locked it.
That was a murder-class ship. In the shaking real-time video, the battleship was completely enveloped in flames. Fighters surrounded it like flies smelling carrion, creating tiny wounds one after another. , but it is like an arrow shot, running towards the target desperately.
The satellite's firepower intensified, white and orange hammering against the live feed. Suddenly, the deck shook beneath Soshyan's feet, and he could hear the roar of the battleship's giant cannon.
"Under direct attack, the void shield connected to the backup energy source."
Sparks fell from the ceiling above, and the battle scene turned into a blur of shaking, Soshyan was focused on nothing else, even as thousands of people died in the space between heartbeats.
Then, he saw the ship suddenly pause as if exhausted, and several dazzling light spots streaked across the void.
It exploded like a firework, starting from the middle of the ship and slowly breaking into three pieces.
But Soshyan was not happy, because the other two ships were close enough to the satellite, and they did not hit the Star Castle directly. In fact, this also saved them. The Star Castle's firepower was enough to prevent them from completely approaching. After destroying it before, they approached the satellite at the closest distance, and then dropped a large number of landing modules and landing craft. In the process, another light cruiser was destroyed.
The last cruiser was already scarred and did not continue to move. Instead, it shut down its engine and slid onto the satellite. However, it did not crash with the help of the satellite's microgravity environment, but maintained at least 70% of its integrity.
Soshiyang connected to the command center on Liuli 3.
"All surface units, prepare for enemy landing."
The enemy chose to land on Liuli No. 3. Soshiyang was surprised but not surprised at all. He even felt stupid. Did they think they could turn the tide of the battle from the ground?
This is too naive. Although he did not deploy space warriors on the satellite, it does not mean that there is no defense force there.
But the cruiser that made an emergency landing made Soshyan a little concerned.
He probably guessed that the Red Pirate was going to do his old trick again, summoning demons on the ship or simply opening a subspace rift.
"Order the Silent Goshawk Wing to blow it up."
As the Silent Goshawks struck again, this time they carried powerful nuclear bombs, the Red Pirate wizards were still performing rituals intensively on the ship. Then they felt violent tremors, and then the white-hot energy swallowed the ship. Three quarters of a cruiser's hull.
“Fuck!”
Looking back at the rising cloud of debris and the disintegrating warship, Okot couldn’t help cursing, and finally got away from the machines. After being chased by a madman, he snatched a Thunder Eagle from the scrap ship and escaped. When he returned to the fleet, he thought everything was fine. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a bad thing again. If he hadn't led his war gang to get a landing craft and ran out in time, now It was probably thrown into space like the metal junk.
Stepping on the barren gray crust of the satellite, Okote's heart felt really cold. Although the commander in the communication channel kept shouting about organizing an attack, he knew very well that no matter what happened, Whether things work out or not, they will most likely not be able to leave.
Whoever came up with this strategy is really a little genius. If that bastard stood in front of him, he would definitely give him a medal bigger than a wizard's Frisbee.
What kind of genius would think that a few ships and one or two thousand men could occupy a satellite full of fortresses?
But there is nothing we can do. What can we do if everyone comes down? He could only ask the old buddies in the war gang to move closer to the main force first, and then look for an opportunity to see if he could find an aircraft to escape like he did in the hulk - of course, the premise is that the fleet is still there, but with such great wisdom in command, Okot felt the chances were a bit slim.
At this time, the entire surface of the satellite was in chaos. Metal fragments, corpses, and landing modules were constantly falling and hitting the ground, making the dead gray earth seem to boil. Those red pirate leaders who were lucky enough to survive began to shout hello. He raised his own men and established a new chain of command. No matter how corrupt they were, at least they were Space Marines, the most dangerous army in the galaxy.
Because the landing points were very scattered, the red pirates on the satellite gathered into four relatively large groups, with a total of about a thousand people. They then began to attack the most conspicuous target-that is, the unfinished The Star Fortress launched an attack amidst angry shouts and the screams of fighter planes passing overhead.
