Chapter 563 Federal Fleet: Increase the pressure
“Report! The enemy squadron in the frontal enemy formation is moving!”
On the bridge of the flagship 'Galileo' of the Eighteenth Fleet of the Federal Navy , Major General Stoner, who was originally in a panic because of the Atlas fleet appearing at the bottom of the sky, immediately looked up at the optical sensor screen after hearing the tactical information coordination officer's report.
In the picture that was combined with synthetic aperture radar imaging and adjusted for picture clarity and brightness, the Atlas Third Task Force, which was originally hidden behind the unmanned fleet, was in the huge 'Infinity' 'He led the troops and rushed out from above the unmanned fleet and launched an attack formation.
The very next second, the shipboard control personality of the Galileo also issued an alarm.
"Warning, high-energy reaction detected! According to the energy reaction characteristics, it is determined to be a 'super heavy purification beam' irradiation!"
"Warning! Detected."
"Warning!"
The warning of the shipboard control personality was broadcast three times in a row. Since the signature database of the main fleet of the Federation Navy has been updated recently, the upcoming strike type was successfully identified.
But this did not make Major General Stoner and the others happy, especially when the shipboard control personality issued the same warning again a few seconds later.
However, this time the direction of the high-energy response came from the direction of the bottom of the fleet
"Attention, the entire fleet! Emergencyly lift the bombardment formation, and the ships should spread distance and prepare to evade!"
Rear Admiral Stoner immediately announced After issuing new orders, the commanders of the Federation Navy already knew how outrageous the main gun of this thing was after many "appearances" of Atlas's Infinity-class super flagship.
Especially after the fleet was arranged into a bombardment formation, there was a long line of purification beams as soon as it was penetrated
But Stoner's order was still given a little late, or the four main forces A large fleet composed of fleets has the inherent disadvantage of not being flexible enough.
When a large number of warships opened their attitude control nozzles to adjust their battle positions, two golden purification beams shone from directly in front of the fleet and from the direction of the bottom of the sky.
Since human warships have not yet been equipped with a 'psionic shield generator' used to defend against weapons such as purification beams, there is currently no warship that can block the attack of purification beams.
The Endless-class super flagship can greatly weaken the purification beam with its extremely thick physical armor. However, according to Saleh's calculations, even if it takes one shot and does not disintegrate, it will basically lose its ability to continue. Combat ability
So when two purification beams cross-fired in the Federation fleet, the captains of the Federation battleships present were even more desperate than when encountering an artificial celestial fortress.
After all, if the 'Focusing Rainbow' fires more than 70% of the warships in the dense formation, it will be shattered into stars. There is no pain.
But this golden purification beam is an existence that can be called the "top torture". You can only watch the friendly troops on the ray axis being penetrated and exploded one by one, but you are powerless and can only pray for the enemy's death. Next time you attack, don't strafe in your direction.
At the same time, he had to command his own battleship and start to avoid the wreckage caused by the sinking of the friendly ship in this chaos
On the bridge of the 'Galileo', Stoner The rear admiral fell into silence as he looked at the real-time casualties of the fleet on the main screen in front of him.
But even in such an unfavorable situation, he still believed that it was still unclear who would win. After all, they still had an advantage in terms of the number of fleets.
What’s more, it’s not like they don’t have other cards they can use.
After the two Endless-class super flagships completed three rounds of irradiation with super-heavy purification beam generators, the nightmare of the Federation Navy warships finally came to an end.
At least for a short period of time, they no longer have to worry about dying from such unreasonable AOE attacks.
But at this time, the two Endless-class super flagships have switched to regular combat mode, and the 40 heavy particle cannons on the bow have also begun to roar, and the Dawn has led the Ahs who have formed an attack formation. The First Fleet of Truss launched an assault.
The entire fleet is like a sharp sword piercing the sky. The Dawn is the tip of this sword, attacking the federal fleet vertically from the ecliptic plane with thunderous momentum.
At the moment when they entered the practical attack range, all the warships of the first fleet opened fire at the same time.
The blue-white beams from the heavy particle cannon volley poured out like a torrential rain and swept past the Federation fleet from the most vulnerable angle. The warships of the Federation Fleet fell into chaos under this sudden and fierce attack from a tricky angle.
The deflection force field in the direction of the bottom deck of the battleship is already low in intensity. Most of the battleships hit by previous confrontations focused the protection of the deflection force field in the bow direction of the ship.
So after being attacked from the direction of the bottom deck, the deflection field in this area quickly collapsed, losing its protective effect like broken glass, and the silver-white electric light also dimmed.
Warships were hit and exploded one after another. Fires bloomed in the universe, and the plasma fireball began to expand, like gorgeous fireworks, but full of the breath of death.
Although there was no shock wave in space, after the battleship disintegrated and rolled, a large amount of debris was still thrown around.
Some directly hit other warships that could not avoid them, triggering a chain reaction, causing more explosions and scattering more debris.
This directly resulted in a large number of warships having to activate close-defense weapon sets and begin intercepting these equally dangerous targets.
The other fragments and the freeze-dried corpses of the crew were 'lucky' to float outside this space, becoming cosmic garbage, like lonely ghosts, in the endless void Wandering in.
It was at this moment that Major General Stoner finally issued a new order.
"The entire fleet, attack the enemies directly ahead with all your strength, and defeat them first!
All HCP troops, break through the flanks of the enemy fleet at all costs, and carry out anti-ship operations!"
This person The commander of the Federation's fleet had a simple idea at this time, which was to defeat part of Atlas's fleet first while still possessing the advantage in force, continue to expand the advantage in force, and then defeat the remaining enemies.
The reason why he specifically ordered the HCP troops to attack and carry out anti-ship operations is also very simple.
That is to say, he knew very well that the two unmanned fleets on the opposite side were not equipped with HCP. Whether it was the previous 'official information' of the unmanned fleets or his observations of the unmanned fleets from the beginning of the war to the present. Let him be sure that these two unmanned fleets did not carry aircraft.
Although the remaining third task force has HCP troops, their numbers are naturally unable to compare with the massive number of HCPs on the Federation fleet.
In this case, the numerical advantage of the federal fleet's HCP may be greater than the numerical advantage of both fleets.
Once the HCP cluster attacking from both wings is able to break through and enter the opponent's fleet formation, it will also cause great losses to Atlas's fleet.
After all, the Federation Fleet has 4 main fleets and more than 15,000 HCPs
Amber and Randall also soon discovered the intentions of the Federation Fleet, and in the pre-war meeting Many people have thought of this, but unfortunately there is no good solution.
With a large disadvantage in terms of military strength, many tactical arrangements will be stretched.
Even Amber and Guterres, who assisted remotely, could not think of a suitable solution at this time.
The final conclusion is that the Third Task Force and the two unmanned fleets must survive this 'dangerous period' on their own until the First Fleet arrives for support
So Rand I quickly ordered all warships of the Third Task Force to also perform a "full deck attack". All HCPs and heavy armored combat boats must do their best to help the fleet survive this dangerous period.
At the same time that the 'Aegis' stations were on electromagnetic ejection orbits and being sent into space one after another, Serena's alarm also sounded on the bridge of the 'Infinity'.
"Warning! Unauthorized space fluctuations have been detected, suspected to be a fleet-level collective jump!"
"?!"
