Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 434 Kitchen God Star Wars (2)

July 7, 28:11 Haicheng time.

Only 8 minutes into the Vesta air battle, the battle entered the decisive moment.

It is impossible for an interstellar war to be like a traditional war, where a battle can last for days or even months.

The main battle between the two sides of the war is due to the high-speed flying space weapons and powerful artillery, and it is easy to distinguish the superiority as soon as they meet each other.

The only thing that lasted for a long time was the attack on the fortifications on the planet's ground, but without the supremacy of space, the resistance on the planet's surface was just delaying time.

Although Yang Shijun stood calmly in the command cabin of the space frigate Ningbo, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

On the one hand, he was rejoiced by the rapid offensive of the Federal Army, and on the other hand, he regretted that he had not achieved an inch in this historic battle.

Since the start of the war, the space frigate Ningbo has hovered around the space cruiser Zhejiang, only encountering three rebel unmanned fighter planes that escaped from the dense fire net and rushed to the main battleship.

But before the Ningbo had time to fire, it was destroyed by the friendly forces next to it. So far, the Ningbo has not fired a single shot.

The Federal Army's space assault ship has already begun to accelerate, preparing to break armor and board the ship.

The main gun on the main battleship - the heavy-duty electromagnetic electromagnetic gun began to show its power. After a salvo, three medium-sized space battleships in the rebel fleet were instantly destroyed, and black smoke rose from five large space battleships.

Yang Shijun found that the rebel fleet did not show any signs of retreating under such a disadvantage. Instead, it accelerated to move closer to the First Fleet. The distance between the main battleships of the two sides was less than 1 kilometers.

This distance is already close at hand for large space battleships, and large and medium electromagnetic guns can already pose a great threat to battleships.

At this time, the four large space battleships in the rebel fleet that had been staying in the rear suddenly launched hundreds of space fighters or space missiles that had never appeared before towards the Federation Army.

These missile-shaped space fighters are about 30 meters long and 3 meters in diameter. They have thick armor, but they don't have any offensive weapons, just like huge spears.

These space fighters flew straight out from the large rebel spaceships at extremely high speeds, passed through the airspace where the two sides were still fighting fiercely, and directly attacked the main battleship behind the federal army.

The space assault ships, space fighters, and unmanned fighters in front of the federal army started to intercept them one after another, but laser cannons and small electromagnetic guns were powerless against these new space fighters, and the impact of the unmanned fighters only changed their flight direction.

They are only damaged by continuous fire from medium to large railguns.

Intensive artillery fire hit these space fighters, and some space fighters were destroyed, but they did not explode. Instead, dozens of black spots fell from the shattered fuselage.

After a while, a new order came from the command channel of the First Fleet: "Attention all units, the rebel mecha unit has appeared, our mecha unit is ready to go out to fight, and the frigate will attack the rebel assault ship with all its strength."

Now the situation is obvious, these new space fighters are the assault ships of the rebels, but the size is too small, they can be regarded as assault aircraft at most, and they can only carry twenty mech fighters.

But the victory lies in the larger number and thicker armor, trying to save the defeat with suicide attacks.

Yang Shijun became excited after receiving the order, and finally had a battle to fight.

He methodically commanded the space frigate Ningbo to wander around the main battleship, using the larger size and thicker armor of the Ningbo to ram and destroy the rebel assault ship flying in front of the Zhejiang cruiser.

The laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons on the Ningbo could not hit the rebel assault aircraft, but it was still very easy to shoot and kill the mech fighters in the air.

He also saw for the first time a Rebel Mech Warrior dropped from a Rebel Assault Ship.

The black and ferocious appearance of the mecha, and the seven-degree alloy sword wielding in his hand, far surpassing the flexibility of an unmanned fighter, reminded him of the black warrior mecha warrior that appeared in the training video of the Federation Army.

Most of the hundreds of rebel assault planes were destroyed, and only a few dozens crashed into the Federation's space battleships.

The rebel mecha fighters among them were quickly wiped out by the federal mecha forces in the battleship.

But more assault planes continued to be launched from the main rebel warships.

The personnel of the Battlefield Monitoring Center of the First Fleet Command were horrified to find that the densely packed rebel mech troops spewed out behind these assault planes, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Like the Kuroshio tide, the rebel mecha units submerged the Federal Army's vanguard corps on the front of the battlefield within 3 minutes, and rushed towards the main space battleship group of the Federal Army.

Under the intensive firepower of the First Fleet, the rebel mech troops suffered heavy casualties, but they did not panic, and continued to attack one after another without fear of death.

At 11:11 Haicheng time, the Vesta air battle started for 16 minutes.

The space assault ship Taizhou of the Federal Army, which was trapped in the enemy's line, was broken by the rebel mech troops and broke into the interior of the ship.

In the face of hundreds of rebel mecha fighters who rushed into the cabin, the entire ship's officers and soldiers, including 200 shipboard mecha fighters, fought tenaciously with them.

But in the end they were outnumbered. In order to prevent the ship from being snatched by the rebels, the captain ordered the ship to explode.

The detonating device detonated the nuclear fusion reactor in the battleship, and the space assault ship Taizhou was instantly blown to pieces. 300 officers and soldiers died together with hundreds of rebel mech fighters, turning into debris in the sea of ​​stars.

This is the first warship lost by the First Fleet since the start of the war.

Subsequently, warships continued to explode due to being occupied by rebels, and the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse.

A new order was sent from the command channel of the First Fleet. All space destroyers and space fighters withdrew around the large space battleships, and all federal mecha troops attacked to face the rebel mecha troops.

The First Fleet carried 20 reorganized mecha divisions, with 2 white tiger mecha fighters and 10 new tiger guard mechanized soldiers. It was originally a ground attack force prepared to retake Vesta.

But in this sudden situation, he had to go into battle ahead of time.

The federal mecha troops swarmed out from the space battleship Asia and the three Yinglong-class space cruisers, and quickly formed a steel defense line relying on the space protruding ships and space frigates in front of the large battleships.

The tiger guard mechanical soldiers lined up at the forefront, guarding the heavy white tiger mecha fighters holding heavy alloy shields as a solid shield wall to block the rebel attacks.

The lightly armed White Tiger mecha fighters held Gauss rifles and shot behind the shield wall, and used Taiyi alloy knives to surround and kill the rebel mecha fighters who broke in from the gaps in the shield wall.

The main guns on the main federal battleship were still charging, firing, recharging, and firing again, but aimed at the rebel warships behind the battle line.

As long as the space warships of the rebels are destroyed, the victory still belongs to the federal army.

The battlefield fell into a stalemate for a while, and the federal army temporarily withstood the fierce attack of the rebel mech troops.
