Chapter 2302 The Rendili Raid Battle (2)
2303 The Rendili Raid Battle (2)
The Principality of Dawn, the Rendili Defense Fleet, the Poker Victory II Class Star Destroyer ship.
“Fire!”
“Fire!!”
"Fire!!!" With a decisive firing order, the Victory II-class Star Destroyer's twin-turret heavy turbolaser cannon installed on the second deck fired one after another. At the same time, the turbolaser cannon installed directly in front of the battleship was also firing simultaneously.
Boom! boom! boom! ! The firepower of the imperial warship also began to hit its own warship. Although it was blocked by the deflector shield, the violent explosion still caused the warship to shake violently. People on the bridge suddenly fell on their backs.
"Sir! The energy of the forward deflector shield has been severely reduced!" the console officer turned around and shouted loudly.
"The ship's left rudder is 90 degrees, and we are approaching the enemy on the broadside!!" The captain immediately gave the order, "Increase the evasion range!"
"Yes!"
boom! boom! Even on the holographically projected combat star map, you can see densely packed turbine laser beams being fired at them. Some of them passed around the battleship, and some of them hit directly. Each hit caused a terrifying explosion, and the shield indicator kept beeping.
"Speed up the ship! Avoid it as much as possible!" the captain said loudly.
"Speed up!" the operator repeated loudly, while controlling the warship to fly towards the side of the battlefield.
"Sir! The headquarters requires us to maintain our formation for at least 30 seconds!" the communications soldier reported loudly.
"Reply to the headquarters, the formation cannot be maintained, and the ship's shield is seriously damaged! It is forced into an evasive posture!" the captain replied immediately. , "Keep firing! Target, Imperial-class Star Destroyer, marked EI-097! Proton torpedoes ready!"
"Missiles from the front are incoming!!"
The laser cannon on the USS Polk Star Destroyer immediately reduced its power and fired wildly in rapid-fire mode, forming a network of light around the battleship. Hundreds of incoming missiles were Some were intercepted, but there were still fish that slipped through the net.
But when these missiles approached, they suddenly changed direction, flew to the side, and quickly disappeared into space.
Several double-blade electronic warfare light cruisers flew around, providing powerful electronic warfare support for the battlefield.
At the same time, the proton torpedo launched by the Poker in panic was also fired from the side. However, it was completely impossible to expect that the proton torpedo launched from this distance would achieve any results.
On the current battlefield, when the distance between the fleets of both sides is less than 1 light second, the Galactic Empire fleet has fully opened its firepower. Countless artillery fires are coming, and the Rendili defense fleet cannot resist it. Admiral Trench deploys The left wing fleet was soon disorganized due to the all-out attack.
On the left wing, there are only 200 Victory II-class warships and mainly battleships, which are simply unable to withstand the crazy shooting of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
Even if there is fire support from Interstellar Base No. 3 and thousands of Gauss artillery platforms, they are still at a disadvantage in the air-to-air confrontation.
"General! I suggest that the right-wing fleet dispatch immediately and move towards the side and rear of the imperial fleet!" Malcolm Granger said loudly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk...no, that's not the time." Admiral Trench slapped his pointer and said slowly, "He's waiting for me to do this. tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
The left wing fleet has begun to show signs of disintegration, and is constantly retreating away from the right wing while being pursued by the imperial fleet. That direction is Interstellar Base No. 2. At this moment, the powerful pulse laser cannon of the interstellar base has opened fire. The thick laser beam shines over and slowly passes over the deflector shield of the Empire-class Star Destroyer. However, as the battle progresses, neither side has any plans to take off fighter formations. The imperial fleet just stared at the left wing and pursued it fiercely. It seemed that it planned to completely destroy the left wing and then turn around to take care of the right wing.
Admiral Trench has been staring at the formation of the Imperial fleet on the holographic star map.
The left wing fleet continued to retreat, and their retreat direction was getting closer and closer to the planet, and the imperial fleet that was pursuing them also followed the planet around.
"Now! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench slammed the table, "Particle light spear, fire!"
The 40 disaster-class battlecruisers had already completed charging at this time, and they immediately launched a salvo! And at this time, because the imperial fleet is bypassing the planet, the side and rear of their battleship is facing the direction of the disaster level!
40 An extremely bright beam of light shot out instantly. At this moment, the imperial fleet formation immediately burst into flames! Several Victory II-class Star Destroyers that were lagging behind were directly destroyed by this salvo!
"Well done!" Malcolm Granger punched hard.
"Right wing fleet, start advancing. Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Admiral Trench slowly gave the order, "Take off, fighter formation. tsk tsk tsk tsk...one wave."
One wave The attack formation consisted of approximately one thousand fighter jets.
From the hangar platforms everywhere, one after another Ghost fighters and Viking fighters began to take off, immediately turning on the cloaking device, following the Imperial fleet and pounced on them.
As soon as the stealth fighter formation took off, it immediately spread out in all directions, up, down, left, and right, launching attacks from different directions as much as possible to disperse the anti-aircraft firepower of the imperial fleet.
Countless close-range defense guns opened fire immediately, forming a net of fire around the Galactic Empire's battleships. A fighter jet was shot down immediately, but more fighter jets still rushed over like locusts and prepared to launch proton torpedoes.
At the same time, the Imperial Fleet finally opened the hangar door, and a large number of TIE/LN light fighters flew out. Under the guidance of the battleship flight control department, they continued to shoot lasers and missiles at the empty space. The missile flew in the direction.
The fighter formations of both sides finally collided. At this moment, countless fireballs exploded, most of which were TIE/LN fighters. Although the maneuverability of TIE fighters is far greater than that of ghost fighters, when faced with invisible opponents, under the command of the battleship, their reaction was always a beat slower and they were immediately massacred!
However, after the Galactic Empire's fleet was attacked from the side and rear, it did not turn, but immediately continued to rush forward at full speed. Soon, the fleet bypassed the planet Rendili and began to leave the battlefield.
And while leaving the battlefield, the fleet suddenly dropped a large number of cylindrical plug-in devices. After these devices were detached, they soon exploded under the action of the built-in detonator. The explosion actually formed a space turbulence, which deflected the aiming of almost all fire control radars on the Rendili defense fleet.
"General, there is space turbulence behind the imperial fleet!" An officer came over and said.
"Space...turbulence." Admiral Trench frowned.
“I think it may be the external curvature engines of these battleships...” Malcolm Granger was a little unsure. “The space turbulence caused by these curvature engines only interferes with our fire control. Just radar.”
"Hmm..." Admiral Trench looked at the retreating Imperial fleet and narrowed his eyes.
This attack from the Galactic Empire fleet struck directly like a sharp knife. But he didn't cut it to the actual point. Instead, he turned the blade temporarily, cut off a piece of meat, and then quickly took it back.
And their attack position was very clever, launching the attack from the left side of Interstellar Base No. 3, constantly deflecting, constantly driving away the left flank of the defending fleet, and then leaving the battlefield from the right side of Interstellar Base No. 2.
The entire attack was always kept between the two interstellar bases, and the firepower of the interstellar base was not fully utilized.
This offensive is sharp and precise!
