Chapter 1237 Meteor Belt Lightning Strike Operation (12)
The firepower of the naval guns was more than twice as dense as in the previous hours, and the dazzling light lit up the young star system, whether it was an ion beam or the orange flash of a battleship explosion.
Now, the fleet of the Red Maple Republic is in a state of encirclement. Directly in front is the main fleet of the Spinning Water Federation, and behind is the outflanking firepower of cruisers and fifty battleships and starships.
Both sides have a tacit understanding of staggering the diagonal lines to prevent their own people's stray bullets from hitting their own people.
The Red Maple Republic was not only passively beaten, but the chaos caused by the fall of the flagship also made it difficult for them to effectively organize a counterattack or even maneuver to change positions.
As Alyssa expected, the Thunder-banded Sea Serpent Cannon could only fire a few rounds. She felt that the maximum five shots it could fire was an overly optimistic estimate. In fact, the Thunder-banded Sea Serpent Cannon below the Red Maple Republic fleet only fired three rounds. Direct misfire.
This thing consumes too much energy. The Spinwater Federation used the most powerful starship as a carrier, and before installation, all weapons on the starship, including anti-aircraft guns, were dismantled. The energy system also underwent a series of optimizations. All unnecessary equipment and fixtures are removed.
The entire starship was actually dismantled into an empty shell, and almost all the energy was used to supply the Thunder Marked Sea Serpent Cannon.
It is actually a blessing to be able to fire three rounds, because according to the value estimated by the designer, the power of the third round is likely to be weakened to the level of an ordinary naval gun due to insufficient energy and the impact of the barrel life.
This cannon was originally in the experimental stage, and a total of eight finished products were produced for different experiments. Now it is put on the shelves directly, and eight starships have been modified to carry the cannon.
These starships should have been ambushing behind the only dwarf planet in this galaxy in advance, waiting for the right opportunity to take action.
They were probably waiting here a few days ago. At least Alyssa didn't see any similar movements from the fleet when she arrived.
This is definitely a big gamble. Once discovered in advance, the starship that has lost all firepower except the thunder-banded sea snake cannon will be a target, which is equivalent to firing the self-propelled artillery in the enemy's face.
The entire action plan is also top secret. Except for the top command of normal battles, even the frontline commanders know nothing about it.
Fortunately, the Swirling Water Federation's bet paid off.
The Thunder Stripe Sea Serpent Cannon destroyed the reactor generator in one fell swoop, and Alyssa doubted whether the Spinning Water Federation had detected in advance that the Red Maple Republic's command system was there.
All active ships were heading towards the Red Maple Republic's temporarily chaotic fleet. The closer the distance, the more accurate the attack. Although the conditions were the same for the other side, they temporarily lost command and their counterattack firepower was far inferior to their own. Strong.
The fleet without its head is nothing but a pile of scattered sand. What the Swirling Water Federation has to do now is to eliminate the opponent's effective forces as much as possible before the opponent can react, and use its own numerical advantage to crush them.
The biggest contributor, the eight starships equipped with thunder-patterned sea snake cannons, immediately turned away after firing the third shot, trying to find the main fleet to join.
They have no protection except shields, and the energy they consume is so intense that even a starship cannot bear it, and the engine power cannot be turned up to its maximum.
They are directly below the enemy's formation. Although I have said before that there are not many warships that can aim down and shoot, these eight starships are too eye-catching. Now the hatred is on them. All warships in the Red Maple Republic that can shoot down are aimed at He blasted the eight starships that were about to flee.
In this kind of huge interstellar war, where the number of fleets is likely to exceed 3,000, the most powerful starship in the ship sequence is nothing more than cannon fodder. How far these eight heroic starships can run back depends on the speed of the Spinning Water Federation. Whether the main force comes quickly or not, and how lucky it is.
Now the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation is firing freely while rushing forward like a chicken blood, but I wonder if these people have forgotten one thing.
Damn it, the pilot is still near the Red Maple Republic Fleet!
The largest space fighter swarm in history organized by the Spinning Water Federation was essentially a smoke bomb.
Although they did achieve impressive results, the role of the flight formation was to make the Red Maple Republic fleet think that the Spinning Water Federation had no choice, and could only use this crooked trick to deal with it, which was a smoke bomb to paralyze the opponent.
Now that the smoke grenades are no longer useful, it's hard to say whether they have forgotten about it.
Hall yanked the joystick to avoid a triple ion beam. She now understood why the one word Li Chengqi always said meant.
Damn it.
That’s so fucked up.
After all, the naval gun that they just dodged was actually artillery fire from friendly forces. These grandsons forgot that they were still on the ray!
The fleet of the Red Maple Republic was temporarily in chaos and was unable to organize an effective counterattack, but its anti-aircraft firepower did not require a large fleet organization. The pilots went too deep in order to throw torpedoes into the reactor jammer. Although it was a good thing that the thing was killed by the sudden bombardment, the pilots who went too deep could only half cheer and half hurriedly throw away the void torpedo, jumping up and down like flies being chased by fly swatters.
The fleet and the formation are all in fucking chaos.
After all, originally we only had to pay attention to anti-aircraft artillery, and at most the interceptors of the Red Maple Republic. Now, the two sides are shooting at each other, and the space fighters are within the firing line of the two sides. Not only must we pay attention to the enemy's artillery shells, but we must also pay attention to them. Watch out for your own people.
Now in the friendly encrypted communication channel, not only the various pilots praised the Xianshui Federation military, but even the flight commanders vomited sweet things, saying that they must open the eyes of the military masters after returning!
In this environment, the interceptors of the Red Maple Republic still did not give up and were still entangled.
Hall pulled up the nose of the plane, and the long burst of cannon and ion beam blasted an enemy plane chasing the butt of a friendly force.
"Li Chengqi! Where are you? We need to retreat immediately!"
She put on her mask and kept calling Li Chengqi on the channel, but there was no reply. Li Chengqi had probably gone to the fleet to kill everyone.
At this time, Hall's space fighter circled around the wreckage of the fighter plane that had just been detonated. As soon as it passed through the flames, it saw an enemy plane with red maple leaves printed on its wings heading towards its opponent.
She immediately pressed the launch button on the joystick, but the cannon idled several times and no ammunition was fired.
Only then did Hall realize that the physical ammunition had been empty in the air battle just now.
Although the ion beam was launched, the lack of a cannon made Hall underestimate the intersection point of the ballistics. The ion beam flew past the wings of the opponent's fighter plane, and the opponent's cannon hit Hall with a crackling sound.
She pulled the joystick urgently, but she was still a step too late. The shield of her car was penetrated, the wings were torn apart by the cannon, and the ion beam burned the energy pipeline under the belly of the aircraft. The entire space fighter became uncontrollable.
Under the intense G-force, Hall entered a black vision state for an instant and almost fell into coma on the spot.
Fortunately, she was very strong, and she fumbled to find the ejection device switch while unable to see anything clearly.
This ejection device is actually a psychological comfort for pilots to a large extent. Because the pace of air combat is too fast, even if you are ejected, your teammates may not have time to rescue you.
At that time, your only resource for survival is a protective suit that can provide oxygen for about 1 to 3 hours. During this period, you pray that you will not be hit by shrapnel flying everywhere.
Hall fumbled and pressed the switch. Almost as soon as it started, she finally heard Li Chengqi's voice:
"Don't panic, I'm coming!"
Hall was ejected, and her car turned into an orange flash shortly after. In the swirling world, she saw the matte black fuselage of the Lionfish flash past and hit the enemy aircraft that was facing Hall just now. burst.
Immediately afterwards, Hall felt as if he hit something behind his back, almost breaking his bones.
Only then did she notice that when she ejected just now, the lionfish opened the side hatch and just caught her.
Now Hall is in the cockpit of the Lionfish.
The joystick and throttle seemed to be controlled by an invisible man. The lionfish began to turn, and the speaker under the control console sounded Li Chengqi's voice:
"Alyssa sent a retreat signal."
Hall still felt her brain spinning in circles, and she reluctantly sat in the driver's seat. At this time, she saw a blue evacuation beacon appear on the glass of the cockpit.
Taking a long breath, Hall's only thought now was.
Superstition is really useful sometimes.
