Chapter 575, exploded into five sections
After the phoenix withdrew, Gu Hang just took a brief look and paid no more attention to it.
The loss still hurts.
I went to eight hundred and came back to five hundred. Everyone was injured, including dozens of seriously wounded people.
Although these seriously injured people cannot be saved according to mortal standards, this is not the case for Space Marines.
Those who really cannot be saved can be stuffed into the fearless iron coffin and continue to serve the Chapter and the Alliance in the future.
Of course, in fact, the league also supports those who retire due to serious injuries, and can provide strong life support to allow people to enjoy life after retirement. Speaking of which, with such a long lifespan as a Space Marine, there are a lot of "good lives" to live in the future.
After all, being stuffed into a fearless iron coffin is not a comfortable experience, not to mention that if you are stuffed into it, you will not be able to get out in this life.
However, so far, no Phoenix space warrior has chosen to retire after being seriously injured, and they have all chosen to enter the iron coffin.
Not all of the three hundred Space Marines lost might have died in battle. Perhaps, there are still some surviving phoenixes scattered around fighting on Alfonzo II. Because the assembly time was too short, there was no time to rush over.
However, this really can’t be controlled.
The moment Martins broke into the door, Gu Hang's power could be used to quietly throw himself into the protozoa room with the help of this interstellar warrior who was deeply connected to him.
Du Bo, who is not at the console, is not that sensitive to psychic power. He failed to notice Gu Hang's power sneaking into him.
Then, accurately releasing the restraints and controls on the neuroprotozoa and helping them escape was also a difficult task. Gu Hang needed to be very careful and accurately aware of the weaknesses of the energy beams bound to the neuroprotozoa, and address them one by one. cut off.
In this process, Gu Hang needed to use his power accurately and silently across such a long distance in space, which was quite difficult.
Once a mistake was made and Du Bo felt something was wrong, and then went back to the console again, that would be troublesome.
But throughout this whole process, Gu Hang did a great job.
No mistakes, no hesitation, Gu Hang completed what he was supposed to do.
But it's not over yet.
The release of the neuroprotozoa only eliminated the existence that had been engaging in psychic confrontation with Gu Hang.
Du Bo, the commander-in-chief, should be dead; on the War Ark, there were out-of-control Neuroprotozoa killing people. At the same time, the Legion of Heroic Spirits thrown in by Gu Hang did not evacuate, so the entire War Ark is now in a semi-dead state. .
As the flagship of the entire mechanical fleet, it could neither play the role of a command ship nor issue effective command orders to other ships in the fleet; at the same time, as the most powerful warship in the entire fleet, it was almost destroyed due to civil strife. It is completely misfired and cannot play the role of a mainstay.
On the contrary, since the ship almost stopped in place, even with a void shield, it was still a very dangerous thing. It cannot avoid a certain amount of firepower by moving or maneuvering. It is purely a target. Even if it has a void shield, it cannot withstand the attack.
In order to protect the fleet flagship, many frigates and even a Retribution-class battleship came together to try to help cover it. They can intercept some incoming Alliance artillery fire through the fire system. Even, when necessary, you can use your own ship to block Alfonzo II's gun.
This really helped Alfonzo II a lot. However, in the context of the decisive battle of the entire fleet, the combat effectiveness of the mechanical fleet was greatly affected. The ships of the mechanical fleet that went to help the flagship were no longer a threat to the Alliance fleet.
All in all, the firepower pressure on the alliance was much less.
This is where the value lies in the heroic souls and phoenixes who made great sacrifices in gang-hopping operations.
Moreover, this is only the help it brings to the Alliance fleet at the moment.
What is more important is the subsequent development. The sacrifices of the space warriors had created such a major fighter aircraft, how could Gu Hang waste it?
He originally wanted to deal with the War Ark first to avoid long nights and dreams. But since there are ships that dare to block it, it’s okay to kill others first.
Without any resistance, Gu Hang's psychic power became unbridled.
The Retribution-class battleship that dared to stand in front of Alfonzo II immediately became Gu Hang's target.
The void shield couldn't withstand it for long, and was soon completely torn apart.
Then, the alliance fleet, whose combat coordination was much stronger than the mechanical fleet, launched a concentrated fire attack on it at the next moment.
The numerous artillery fire was secondary. The main attack this time was the Zhuge-class aircraft carrier 'Hiphorse'.
The three patrol ships were ejected, and in an instant, at a speed slightly slower than the speed of cannonballs, they were sent into the face of the enemy ship.
Generally speaking, the Alliance's Blackfish-class patrol ships will be equipped with a crew of about 1,200 people. The three specially-made Blackfish sent to the enemy ships were not fully equipped, but only had about 400 people.
This number can basically only meet the basic operator needs of the ship, and is even slightly insufficient; if it is to sail for a long time, there is no guarantee that there will always be people at some positions that must be manned at all times - after all, people need to rest. .
However, in this current situation, there is no need to think so much.
Even the operation of the ship itself is actually not that important.
As long as the weapon system is complete, that's fine.
It is also worth mentioning that all the crew members on the ship have the status of first-level dead soldiers. Everyone is prepared not to come back.
The small boat was ejected into the face of a battleship, which was an extremely dangerous task. Even the Zhuge-class aircraft carrier is equipped with a traction system that can pull back the ejected small ship, but there is a high probability that it will not be able to come back.
And their mission is actually very simple: blast out all the missiles loaded on the specialized Blackfish before they are destroyed.
One problem with missile weapons is that they are much easier to intercept than cannonballs and light spears.
Aircraft carriers send aircraft such as fighter jets and patrol ships to the enemy's face in order to solve this difficulty: if they are close to the enemy's face, the launch distance becomes very short, and the difficulty of interception increases greatly.
Moreover, the patrol ship is much larger than the largest Dragon-Elephant fighter jet. The Blackfish class used for this kind of suicidal mission has all been specially modified to increase the bomb load as much as possible, and nothing else can be ignored.
Each of the three Blackfish ships is equipped with 18 rounds of Dongfeng Fen. It only takes two rounds to fire them all, and the total time will not exceed six minutes.
This also means that if all three Blackfish ships survive for more than six minutes, they will be considered finished.
The first round of missiles, 27 Dongfengfen, were all successfully launched.
Among them, six rounds were intercepted, and the other 21 rounds all hit the Retribution-class battleship whose void shield was torn.
21 huge explosions appeared on the ship. The entire battleship was severely damaged.
Immediately afterwards, one Blackfish was destroyed, and the remaining two ships sent out all the 18 Dongfeng Fen in the second round.
The Retribution-class battleship was blown into five sections.
