Chapter 2884 Death Strike
Two seconds later, the screen switched again, this time to infrared heat source images and sound wave detection images. From this perspective, it can be seen that there is actually a depth of more than one meter below the fortress. There is a huge cave network of thousands of meters, and there are many high-temperature heat sources inside. It is like a plant with a huge root system, and what is exposed above the ground is actually just the tip of the iceberg.
"The ones on the ground are mainly defensive weapons. Its real hatchery should be hidden underground. It has realized that our long-range weapons are powerful."
Soshiyan then turned his head. , smiled at Arash and said:
"Fighting against Tyran is, in a sense, like playing cards. Not only do you have to see the tricks, you also have to understand the opponent's psychology, and then understand the opponent's hands. Fortunately, I have good luck with cards, and I can do well in battles.”
Arash smiled slightly and whispered:
"Good morning, Commander of the Legion."
Soshiyang turned around immediately.
"Mark, pass my order, and the specially-organized missile regiment will immediately attack the location of the discovered Tyranid incubation fortress."
"Yes!"
After Mark turned around and left, Arash asked:
“How did you come up with the idea of moving ship-based missiles to land for use?”
“I originally wanted to use the Adeptus Mechanicus. death-strike missile, but this thing is too troublesome to use, requires a lot of rituals, and to be honest, the effect is mediocre. I also consulted the short-term technicians on this point, and they said that their plasma missiles can be used in atmospheric environments. It can be used under high pressure, and the speed is nine times that of Death Strike. There is no possibility of interception by those flying Tyranids, so I asked the Mechanicus to make some modifications to the guidance method, and then established a specially-organized missile regiment, mainly to deal with The large land weapons or super giant units that Tyran may build, by the way, are used to test the feasibility of this kind of troops. Currently, they are still used in the name of direct death strike."
Speaking, Soshiyang raised his head and looked. In the transparent glass dome, a black missile with a triangular head spits out blue plasma rockets and streaks across like a meteor.
Not long after, he vaguely heard the echo of muffled thunder coming from the distance, and at the same time he felt a slight shaking under his feet. Many people in the headquarters were aware of it.
"Commander, the results of the attack are out."
Mark hurried over and transferred an image to the screen.
I saw that the earth that was originally covered with deep purple filth had turned into a concave mirror that was about to crack. There was almost nothing on it. In the center was a large pit with a depth of more than 500 meters. The scene Very amazing.
After Arash was stunned for a moment, he said:
“This is not a plasma missile.”
"Of course not. Plasma missiles are effective against armor, but their damage capabilities are not optimal, so I chose fusion bombs with a yield of 60 million tons."
Soshyan paused, shook his head and sighed. :
"But even like this, we haven't completely eradicated it. Tyranid is really a very troublesome thing."
Just as he was talking, Arash noticed a smaller rocket flying over. In the crater, however, what burst out when it hit the ground was not a flame, but a rapidly expanding green cloud. Then the ground began to change color, and Arash, the leader of the White Templar Chapter, immediately realized what it was. "Phosphorus fire!"
"This is the only way to get rid of the root. At least it can make Tyran give up this hatchery. This is playing cards, one for you and one for me."
Soshiyang walked slowly to the tactical map and pointed his finger at the ocean. .
"So it is likely that it will build a hatchery in the dead ocean, or far away from our detection range, which will be difficult to find."
Then, he He lowered his voice and said meaningfully in a slow tone:
"The victory or defeat of this battle is not here. Everyone's life depends on the actions and speed of the Malakin brothers. I Trust him, and hope he can trust me.”
"Captain, the command from the flagship of the battle group orders the twelfth cruiser detachment to maneuver and fire at the C2 hemisphere to suppress the enemy's escape space."
In the simple militarized bridge of the Huangquan-class heavy cruiser, Chinedu Silva, who took office as captain, looked away from the tactical instrument after hearing the communications officer's words.
“Convey instructions to other ships in the formation.”
At this time, the captain no longer had the vague and gloomy temperament he had during the maelstrom, and completely got rid of his identity as an illegitimate son. Finally, he now only has the courage and calmness of a naval captain.
When he first joined the Astral Knights, he only served as the captain of a Moon-class cruiser, but compared to his previous role as a destroyer captain, he had already made a huge improvement.
After working for less than ten years, he was transferred from the original ship and became the captain of a new warship.
Chinedou is not unfamiliar with the Huangquan class. The defection incident of BF/67-A, an experimental ship, is almost a must-learn chapter in the Naval Academy’s Ideology and Loyalty Education Course, but he did not expect that he would One day he would also be able to drive this "notorious" model. Although most of the weapons' problems were caused by humans, it still gave him a sense of absurdity.
But an order is an order, and a more powerful warship also means a broader battlefield. Chinedu Silva is often called a "gladiator" by his colleagues, not only because of his superb swordsmanship, but also because of his superb swordsmanship. It's more because he is very belligerent. When commanding ship operations, he is also known for his aggressive tactics of quickly cutting into the enemy's side and underneath for close range shooting.
It’s not that he really likes close combat, but his personal tactical philosophy is that when fighting against a small number of enemies, priority must be given to reducing the number of enemies to avoid being attacked from multiple directions, as long as the firepower is strong enough , so it doesn’t matter if it’s close or not.
The Snake King also suits his taste in a sense. This pure light spear ship has extremely terrifying long-range firepower, and due to some "experimental" technology, its firing frequency is higher than that of the Empire. Ordinary light spears are much faster, which is also the original design goal of the Huangquan class.
As for how Huang Quan No. 8 achieved such technical indicators, only Omnisiah or some other god knows.
Furthermore, as the first result of the cooperation between the battle group and the Huangquan No. 8 Navy, the Snake King also received personal intervention from Soshiyan. Therefore, during the expedition, the Snake King also became the leader of the 12th Cruiser Squadron. During this period, in addition to the Serpent King, the detachment also included the Dreadnought-class light cruiser [Thunderbringer], the Endurance-class light cruiser [Bronze Shield] and the [Defender].
At this time, they are on the far right side of the third battle group of the fleet, and the flagship of the battle group is naturally Eternal Loyalty, and the commander is Lothar, the fourth company commander of the battle group.
The entire strike fleet is organized into three spherical battle groups. Each battle group is centered on its respective flagship and surrounded by powerful capital ships, most of which are carrying Astral Knights and White Templars. , the central battle group with the Mother of Tears as its flagship is the core of the entire strike fleet, and corresponding to it is the Tyranid fleet group that is like a bloated and wriggling piece of meat.
As soon as the Tyranids' tentacle fleet entered the Longobardi system, they pounced on those vibrant worlds like hungry predators. However, the limited residents here had already evacuated, and the Tyranids could only One by one, it digests worlds with enough biomass to grow itself.
Just when it was about to devour the last world, the empire's fleet suddenly arrived.
