Chapter 537, Guangfeng Star Sea Battle
The firepower information detected by the patrol ship was transmitted to the Yuhuo Nova five minutes ago.
The enemy's fire blockade, the layout of space booby traps around the jump point... In short, it is to inform the main ship of the available jump point locations that will be relatively safe.
Of course, this information will not be perfect, or even quite rudimentary.
After completing the transition and arriving at the twenty patrol ships on the other side of the star tunnel, they only had ten minutes of reconnaissance time there, so they really couldn't ask for too much.
At the same time, the decision-making time of the Yuanhuo Nova is also very short. After getting the information, in just five minutes, they will leave the astral tunnel and reach the real universe.
It was simply impossible for them to choose an optimal solution. They could only choose an area that was not locked as a landing point in an extremely limited time based on the existing intelligence situation.
It is impossible to achieve completely accurate control of the landing point after the transition, and there will definitely be more or less deviations.
That's the risk.
But luck was good this time.
There are not many space booby traps here, only a few exploded nearby. One frigate was greatly affected; the Yu Huo Xingxing also suffered three booby traps, but these three booby traps were triggered by sensing the target of the battleship when they were still a certain distance away from the starship. The threat posed is not great.
As for the enemy's firepower, the main artillery group was not directed here. They want to target the Yuanhuo Nova and need to re-target.
There is no need for the Yunhuo Nova to give priority to filling up its engines.
It also cannot perform maneuvers that are too complex or too flexible.
The top priority is to activate the void shield.
The battleship's void shield is quite powerful.
Secondly, there is the firepower system.
The artillery is not affected by the astral jump, and is in a state of preparation before completing the jump.
The moment the transition is completed, the firepower system is fully searching for the enemy, locking the target, and preparing to fire.
At the same time, the self-defense interception system on the ship is also ready and operating at full capacity, ready to meet the challenge.
Along with this Retribution-class battleship, there were more than fifteen frigates present. They are also deploying energy shields with all their strength and operating interception firepower at full strength.
A few minutes later, the first wave of enemy fire arrived.
Less than expected.
The black fish that were sacrificed earlier still played a role. A considerable part of the firepower that could have been targeted immediately was disturbed by the black fish and chased them. The speed of changing the target was limited.
Our own intercepting firepower was fired wildly, and the 'Reflectors' and 'Defenders' fired fiercely, trying to intercept the enemy's meager firepower as much as possible.
But despite this, three frigates that were unable to deploy their energy shields in time were destroyed.
It is said to have relatively little firepower, but the opponent's three star forts, hundreds of space stations, two battleships, and more than 400 ships of all levels are all blocked here. No matter how little firepower is targeted, there is still plenty.
The Yuhuo Nova took three or four shots, but the battleship's armor was thick enough, so it was no big deal.
However, before the next round of firepower arrived, these dozen frigates, as well as the Yuhuo Nova, had already opened their void shields. At the same time, their firepower also locked on and let out a ferocious roar.
Several enemy space stations were also destroyed.
Stand still and exchange fire.
Just one battleship with a dozen frigates would definitely not be able to defeat the other side. Just twenty minutes later, four more frigates turned into space junk. Even the Yuanhuo Nova's void shield was turning red after taking three rounds of X-level heavy artillery.
However, the sacrifice of the frigates and the risks taken by the battleships allowed them to achieve one goal: to open up a smooth 'landing ground' for the arrival of subsequent ships!
Five battlecruisers, one aircraft carrier, and more than 500 cruisers, frigates, and destroyers named after the planets in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, as the main force, all descended on the battlefield in an instant.
The enemy's firepower is now concentrated on the Yuhuo Nova and its frigates.
This flagship of the Alliance Fleet played a perfect role as a human shield and successfully created the space that the Alliance Fleet wanted.
The various alliance ships that appeared were able to survive the dangers of the immediate transition in relative safety.
It’s time to restart the shield and void shield, and it’s time to switch to the regular engine restart, all are done.
At the same time, the firepower that had been prepared before the jump also accurately locked the target the moment it appeared.
When the enemy's fire came, the alliance's fire also hit.
The targets selected by the alliance's firepower are also enemy ships.
The ship is brittle than the starfort, that's for sure.
Secondly, to be honest, the initiative in this battle still lies with the opponent. Unless the Furious Flame Fleet is determined to fight to the death with the Alliance here - which Gu Hang wants more than anything - otherwise, when the Alliance Fleet shows its combat power and causes the opponent to suffer casualties and feel pain, then the will to fight does not count. A particularly determined Raging Flame Fleet will most likely evacuate on its own.
And after they are beaten away, a bunch of immovable space defense groups are left, which can be easily dealt with.
Whether it's a decisive battle with the opposing fleet, or driving away the Furious Flame Fleet first, anyway, just stare at the opposing fleet and bombard it.
The pressure suddenly came to the other side.
Moreover, this pressure is still increasing. After the six battle cruisers have fully demonstrated their influence, their firepower is no problem being regarded as three battleships in the battle line; the alliance's "Hiphorse" aircraft carrier cannot be underestimated either. . The Dragon Elephant fighter jets it suddenly projected swarmed and destroyed a cruiser of the Raging Flame Fleet.
The cruiser received a few shots from the front, and its void shield was shattered. Under normal circumstances, it can retreat in time, operate within the fleet, and survive if other frigates provide cover. Moreover, the void shield on it was fortunately only overloaded, and the internal generator was not damaged. Give it about half an hour to recharge the void shield, and it will be full of energy immediately.
However, under the attack of the Hippogriff, the possibility of survival came to nothing.
The eighteen fighters that were ejected into their faces took advantage of the opportunity for the void shield to shatter, so they didn't even need to take risks and approached slowly, and just opened fire.
They were flying around the starship like a swarm of bees. The cannons mounted on the fighter planes violently attacked the exposed turrets on the starships.
At the cost of losing eight fighter planes, they destroyed many exposed turrets on the cruiser, reducing the opponent's ability to intercept fire.
Among these eight fighters, there are still five that have a chance to fire the missiles mounted on them before they die.
Some missiles were still intercepted by 'Reflectors' and 'Defenders', but one-third of the missiles still hit.
It was one shot of Dongfeng Burning and four shots of Sky Splitting Ax. These five heavy anti-ship missiles caused very serious damage to the opponent's cruiser. The starship was visibly on fire, and it could be observed from the outside.
This is still not destruction. The cruiser is still moving, and there are frigates approaching from the surrounding area. If it is allowed to retreat, maybe the internal damage control force can really make repairs through repairs to avoid the expansion of damage and maintain the survival of the warship. Go back and repair it, and you will be a good man again.
But the remaining fighters will not be given a chance.
The two surviving Dragon Elephants threw out the six-engine Dongfeng Fen. At the same time, there were eleven Kirins, and they also launched twenty SkyAx missiles.
The seriously injured cruiser was no longer able to intercept; other frigates could intercept artillery and destroy fighter planes, but it was unrealistic to expect the missiles to be intercepted by fighter planes at close range towards the cruiser.
In the end, more than half of this group of firepower hit the cruiser.
The cruiser volleyed and exploded into space debris.
The surviving fighter planes began to break away.
They distanced themselves at full speed, stopped firing, and activated their camouflage.
In a completely silent state, the size of the fighter plane is quite small in the universe. On a fierce battlefield, the enemy has too many things to deal with, and it is difficult to find time to carefully scan the entire space area to find and destroy fighter planes.
What's more, after throwing away the missiles, the fighter planes, even big ones like Dragon Elephant, no longer pose a particularly big threat. There are at most some machine guns on it, which are useful against some small ships, but just like scratching an itch against large warships.
There is still a high probability that these silent fighters can retreat to the aircraft carrier quietly.
The distance between the two sides fighting was still a bit too far, and it would take a long time to fly back.
However, if the current naval battle lasts for several hours, or even ten hours, then the returning fighters may be able to catch up with the second wave of attacks, remount the missiles, and then be ejected.
And they are not the only fighters projected by the Alliance's Zhuge-class aircraft carrier.
Several cruisers and even the flagship of the Furious Flame Fleet, the battle barge 'Triumph Fire', have been targeted.
Aircraft carriers are among the fleets and are quite good at hunting these large warships.
The projected fighters are not very useful when facing small and medium-sized ships such as frigates and destroyers. The interception firepower on these ships is relatively fierce, and the cost of defeating them is high, but the value is not high.
On the contrary, the difficulty of fighting those large ships may only be slightly higher, but the rewards are also huge.
The L-shaped Dongfeng Fen missiles mounted on the cheeky Dragon Elephant fighter jet will also pose a great threat to warships of the battleship level.
The powerful combat power of the alliance's eight main giant ships and forty-one cruisers is reversing the disadvantages of the entire naval battle.
……
"Withdraw." Paulitos once again made a natural decision.
And this, of course, once again aroused strong opposition from Wang Mengsong.
"Why are we withdrawing again? We clearly have the advantage now!" Wang Mengsong's voice sounded in the command channel again.
Of course he could also see that the Alliance fleet was actually recovering from its disadvantage.
But because of this, shouldn’t we increase our efforts to secure victory?
He has even mobilized his own fighting group and is ready to join the gang.
As a result, Paulitos was informed that he was about to retreat.
In his heart, there was anger that had escaped.
But precisely because this was a critical moment, he knew not to quarrel with Paulitos, the supreme commander. Therefore, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he tried hard to suppress his emotions and persuaded him earnestly:
"The alliance's main fleet made a big mistake this time. They rashly carried out a full-scale military jump and entered our home court. With the help of the Star Castle and the jump point defense system we built, we have the opportunity to completely jump here. Destroy enemy ships!”
"Even if we can't annihilate them all, we can at least inflict heavy damage on them!"
"If we miss this opportunity, with our naval strength of only two battleship-level warships, it is almost impossible to cause a devastating blow to the alliance's fleet in a naval battle!"
“This is an opportunity not to be missed!”
However, all he heard was the retreat order from Paulitos.
Paulitos even ordered the astropaths to block Wang Mengsong's power to send messages to the entire army's command system, to prevent this guy who is also the leader of the entire army and has a high status in the entire army from interfering with the command of the entire army. system.
Of course, he didn't want to annoy Wang Mengsong too much. If this mindless guy gets up and starts walking alone, and implicates the entire army in a wave of recklessness, he will be in big trouble.
Therefore, he still left a communication line for Wang Mengsong to contact him directly.
Wang Mengsong soon realized that he could not contact other ships. He was so angry that he cursed Paulitos:
"You broken-spine dog! You are not worthy of leading an entire army! I feel so pitiful for you! Your enemies are right in front of you, and you don't even dare to take revenge on them!"
After the last very heated argument, Paulitos also reflected. He would never have this kind of meaningless quarrel with Wang Mengsong again. He turned a deaf ear to the insulting words of the leader of the New Age Torch Chapter, and still issued various instructions in an orderly manner.
It wasn't until the entire fleet began to move according to his request that he finally got some free time.
Taking this opportunity, he said to Wang Mengsong: "Didn't your think tank tell you the pressure they are under now?"
"What?"
Wang Mengsong really didn’t receive a reply.
Not his problem.
The Librarian teams of both Chapters, as well as the psyker forces among the mortals, have been brought together and report directly to Paulitos.
Wang Mengsong also has a think tank member by his side. Logically speaking, he should be informed of the information.
But... Wang Mengsong seems to have not received news for a while.
"It seems that the pressure is even greater than what was reported. The think tank you left behind didn't even have time to explain the situation to you." Paulitos explained briefly.
Later, he sighed: "That Gu Hang from the Alliance... He may be the most powerful psyker I have ever seen in my hundreds of years of life. Is that really something a mortal can achieve?"
