Chapter 1229 Meteor Belt Lightning Strike Combat (4)
It's outrageous to say that it clearly possesses the technology of the interstellar era, but uses the tactics of World War I. It doesn't even appear that carrier-based aircraft blasted battleships during World War II.
This is because the battleship's anti-aircraft firepower is quite powerful, and a small number of carrier-based aircraft cannot get close at all, so everyone has formed an established fact in their minds.
That is, carrier-based aircraft cannot pose a threat to the fleet.
The mobile aircraft carrier is only slightly larger than a cruiser, and the number of carrier-based aircraft it can carry is also limited. Compared with warships of the same tonnage, the combat efficiency is much worse.
Therefore, mobile aircraft carriers have never been built larger, and no attempts have been made to conduct saturation attacks with a large number of carrier-based aircraft.
This is a tactical flaw that was built solely on simulations without actual combat. They did not know that quantitative changes in carrier-based aircraft could lead to qualitative changes.
In fact, this inertial thinking is the same on earth. Before World War II, no one believed that a mere small plane would pose a threat to the steel behemoth on the sea. At most, it would only interfere with torpedo planes.
However, after World War II, battleships completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Of course, it would be wrong to completely copy it here. After all, the battleships here are machine-based air defenses. Their accuracy and reaction speed are not comparable to hand-operated air defense cannons. Moreover, if it were not for the cover provided by the meteorite belt, such a huge fleet would not be possible. It is impossible to fly to attack distance.
This large-scale carrier-based aircraft raid by the Spinning Water Federation was a helpless attempt. It could be said that they tried every means to win and completely abandoned the fleet combat maneuvers that had worked in the past.
When it was Hall and Li Chengqi's turn to drop bombs, they saw with their own eyes that several Red Maple Republic battleships turned into fireworks.
According to the battle plan, Hall used impeccable movements to target a farther battle cruiser and threw out both torpedoes. Like other carrier-based aircraft, after completing the bombing, Hall hovered nearby to protect other ships. A fighter plane that has not yet completed bombing.
The automatic timer starts working. After three minutes, Hall will return at full speed, hang on the void torpedo again, wait for a new attack command, and continue to repeat the previous operation.
The carrier-based aircraft of the Red Maple Republic also dispatched urgently, but the number is not the opponent of the Spinning Water Federation. Their reinforcements are still on the way, at least for now, there is no need to worry about being intercepted by enemy carrier-based aircraft.
Hall relaxed a little and glanced at the countdown. Then he suddenly remembered something and quickly looked left and right.
The lionfish that should have been not far in front of her was nowhere to be seen...
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The Bluetooth speaker behind his head was playing roaring death heavy metal. Li Chengqi held the lemonade hose in his mouth and pushed the accelerator to the bottom.
Previously, in order to hide, the lionfish didn't even use one-tenth of its speed, but it stifled Li Chengqi.
The lionfish was like a purple flash of light, briskly bypassing the torpedoes launched by friendly forces, and like lightning piercing the void, quickly approaching the nearest warship.
The communicator beeped, followed by Hall's voice: "What are you doing? Come back quickly! We have to return to replenish ammunition!"
"Don't worry about me, you can go back first."
Li Chengqi flicked the joystick, and the lionfish seemed to be slapped out of thin air. It moved a lot laterally, just in time to avoid the rays of an anti-aircraft gun like a fire dragon.
"I have enough ammunition now. I'll go back when I'm done."
"Enough ammunition?"
Hall was stunned for a moment and then reacted:
"You didn't drop the bomb just now?" "Of course, what a waste."
As he spoke, Li Chengqi had already approached a destroyer. The anti-aircraft firepower made it look like a hedgehog, and the approaching void torpedoes provided Li Chengqi with cover to attract firepower, allowing the lionfish to approach easily.
"Stop talking, go back first."
After speaking, Li Chengqi hung up the communication, and the lionfish flew parallel to the destroyer's shield. A pink beam saber immediately popped out of his backpack, like a paper knife, and immediately slashed on the surface of the spherical shield, and along the The shooting line was scraped all the way.
The operation of equipping a space fighter with a beam saber has the beauty of missing a brainstem, but Li Chengqi installed this thing just to cut through the shield of the battleship.
The battleship's shield looks like a sphere at first glance, but it is actually a sphere made up of countless honeycomb-like hexagonal structures.
Each side has a separate defense limit, which means that if Li Chengqi wants to harm the battleship, he does not need to take out all its shields, he only needs to open a gap.
The output of the beam saber is equivalent to that of a high-energy particle rifle, but it does not need to be launched, so it consumes less energy for the same power.
Soon, Li Chengqi opened a gap, and the lionfish immediately turned off one of the engines and floated in through the gap like a drift.
The anti-aircraft firepower noticed him, but when Li Chengqi came in, it was already too late.
Although the direction machine and height machine of the anti-aircraft gun are electronically controlled and very fast, with the size of the lionfish, they cannot keep up at all.
Li Chengqi seemed to be playing with an anti-aircraft gun, weaving through the hail of bullets, and then pulled the joystick fiercely, and the lionfish immediately rolled and climbed up.
Now the lionfish was facing the destroyer's bridge in an upside-down posture, and Li Chengqi could even see clearly the people on the bridge trying to escape in panic.
But it was too late.
A void torpedo detached from the launcher, ignited briefly and began to slide forward. Then it hit the bridge like an iron rod, shattering the porthole glass and distorting the armor plate.
The impact fuse was instantly activated, and a violent flash of light erupted on the bridge. In an instant, the entire bridge was enveloped in flames, causing a chain reaction.
At this time, Lionfish had once again drifted out of the gap he had just opened. When he rushed to the next battleship, the unlucky destroyer had already fallen into an uncontrollable fire. Although the damage control was still working hard, due to The energy pipeline ruptured and the shield disappeared. It was immediately hit by several naval guns fired from a distance, and eventually turned into a ball of space junk.
This is why Li Chengqi did not launch the torpedo as planned. For him, it was too wasteful.
A void torpedo means that it can add another red star to the lion fish. If you shoot it casually, you may not be able to hit it. This is not a waste.
The purple-red flash was like crimson lightning tearing through the void. Li Chengqi stepped on the pedal and controlled the vector mouth spray to deflect downward. The lionfish used amazing maneuvers to dodge the anti-aircraft gun attack.
A larger warship with more guns and a more powerful look appeared directly in front of Lionfish.
Judging from its size, it was probably a battle patrol coming to support.
As the next target, it's just right.
But before that...
Li Chengqi glanced at the radar, and more than a dozen red dot signals appeared on it. The carrier-based aircraft of the Red Maple Republic noticed him.
