Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 353 Counterattack across the board
The design of the Tie Fighter seems a bit peculiar to Lu Feng.

While other fighters try to reduce the amount of bombardment as much as possible and choose energy coins as the on-board energy source, the TIE fighter has chosen a pair of solar wings with a strong presence. Although the shapes of the wings of each model are different, they are Without exception, solar wings are standard.

The texture of these wings is not metal, but similar to the texture of solar panels, with energy harvesting coils and cooling grilles inside, which can collect light energy at any time to power the empire's unique solar ion engine.

The engine uses a reaction tank as a transmission channel to ignite the radioactive gas that is ejected under high pressure, and at the same time endows the TIE fighter with super maneuverability.

However, the cockpit of the TIE fighter is small, simple, and lacks protection, or the entire fighter has not much protection. Generally, there is only a difference between being hit and not being hit in a battle.

This has also led to a huge output of TIE fighters, but also a large loss, and the replacement is extremely fast.

The pilots will choose different fighters every time they attack, and there is no exclusive plane, which one is which one to catch up with, and one of them is always new.

In view of the extremely high pilot casualty rate, the Empire generally adopts the model of recruits plus professional implants. The large number is enough, but it is more difficult to train elite pilots.

However, the Imperial Army pursues the route of crushing by force, and quantity determines everything. Even if the TIE fighter is piloted by an ace pilot, it is difficult to make any flowers.

More than 300 TIE fighters roared in. The special structure of the engine made it emit a terrifying scream when flying in the atmosphere, which could bring a full sense of oppression and fear to the ground personnel.

Unfortunately, it was a swarm of autonomous drones that faced the Tie Fighter swarm.

In order to prevent the advanced electronic power of the empire from intercepting these drones, Lu Feng asked the technicians to lock the drone control system. From the moment the 600 drones took off, they were destroyed or ran out of ammunition. Return, during which no one can remotely control them.

Not even Lu Feng, let alone the Imperial Army.

So these red-eyed drones are like wild dogs running wild. Under the control of the new combat logic designed by Yutu, they wildly launched a fierce attack on the enemy fleet.

The leader of the Imperial fleet frowned, speaking in the channel:

"Attention all teams, the enemy is a drone smaller than us, avoid getting into a dogfight, adopt a one-hit escape tactic, use the advantage of mobility to tear their formation, victory belongs to the empire!"

"Long Live the Empire!"

The imperial pilots in the channel screamed and drove the fighter planes to kill them, as if they were not afraid of death at all.

In fact, the implants worn by these pilots are somewhat problematic. It will imperceptibly implant some psychological hints for the pilots, otherwise it would be difficult for anyone to dare to sit on the TIE fighter that is nicknamed the "flying urn".

Chirp chirp——!Chirp chirp——!
The firing sound of the TIE fighter is also very recognizable.

Or,

Most of the airborne blaster cannons of the Imperial Army have this sound. When the blaster beam is excited, it is low and powerful, but it will soon turn into a sharp roar. Every time it fires, it is spiritual for those who are not strong-willed. torment.

On the other hand, the Class A drone is equipped with a pulsed laser produced by Goblin Heavy Industries. Limited by the onboard power, the range of this pulsed beam is only about 200 meters, and the continuous irradiation time will not exceed 0.5 seconds, but the firing frequency is extremely fast .

If the TIE Fighter is a mid-to-short-range rifleman, then the drone is a close-up Lancer who can attack from close quarters. As long as it is close, it can shoot out a powerful blue pulse laser, piercing the target full of holes.

When the two sides met for the first time, dozens of flames exploded in the sky.

Both sides suffered injuries, and the battle loss was about three to one.

No matter how strong the combat logic of drones is, they are still inflexible after all. It would be much better if they were controlled by advanced AI.

Both sides were light fighters, only each TIE fighter was equipped with two combat missiles, and after the first round of firing, the two sides immediately started a gorgeous fight with light beams flying randomly, which looked quite spectacular under the gray clouds.

At every moment there is the whistling of blaster beams and the explosion of warplanes.

Lu Feng looked at the battlefield in the command hall of the Xuanwu Fortress. The icons representing his own drones disappeared every second on the upper screen. Take advantage of long-range drones.

The pilot of the TIE fighter uses a powerful engine to accelerate the fighter to a large overload, and can quickly get rid of the entanglement of the drone. The anti-pressure suit releases the huge pressure, allowing the pilot to turn around and come back calmly, using explosive energy from 500 meters away The cannon fires, and each attack can have a one-tenth hit rate.

After a few more rounds, one or two rounds can always be hit. Because of this, the number of drone groups is steadily being reduced.

After all, this type of drone was designed for space warfare. It would be a bit bulky in the gravitational circle of the planet, and would turn to the situation where the engine output was insufficient, which made the pilots of the Tie Fighter feel comfortable shooting birds.

Seeing that his own air force had completely taken the initiative on the battlefield, Colonel Baker, the commander of the Imperial Landing Force, waved his hand and ordered the second batch of bombing formations to attack.

The second echelon was escorted by 50 TIE fighters, and a total of 50 TIE bombers equivalent to the size of 3 TIE fighters entered the arena, roaring and dropping 200 proton bombs on the gate of hell.

The proton bomb is widely equipped by the Imperial Army, and it forms a violent explosion through the fusion reaction generated by the proton nucleus ignited by the "Nagan 14 chemical charge", which is extremely powerful.

A total of 200 proton bombs are more powerful than 200 tactical nuclear bombs. The main reason is that the power will not attenuate too much in space. Once hit, the wide basalt shield flickers violently, and the texture looks much thinner.

Attack works!

Colonel Baker was greatly inspired. He thought the tortoise's shell was so hard, but it was crumbling after just one round of bombing. It really was a bluff.

"Order the second echelon to continue the bombing, and request the fleet to send out the third bombing echelon to deal a fatal blow to the enemy!"

TIE bombers are much more expensive than TIE fighters, so the 46th fleet only brought 200 of them.

Baron Nat on the orbit thought for a while, and then agreed to Colonel Baker's request, and the third batch of 50 TIE fighters and 50 TIE bombers immediately rushed into the siege of the gate of hell.

Under the bombardment of the proton bombs in turn, the basalt shield is already crumbling at this moment, as if it will burst in the next second.

Colonel Baker felt that endless feats were already beckoning to him.

Add another fire!

"Order the landing fleet to attack and completely crush the resistance of these alien scum!"

The landing troops who had waited impatiently for a long time pressed forward, and the 36 destroyers and frigates together covered the sky and the sun, and the 4 armed transport ships behind them were like moving mountains. The doorman race is suffocating.

The escort fleet took a step ahead and launched a bombardment at the gate of hell at low altitude. Blaster cannons of various sizes and calibers rained down like raindrops, earning their own credit for the task of conquering the shield.

Seeing that the opponent was beaten helplessly by the powerful imperial army, four armed transport ships boldly pressed forward.

While using the self-defense firepower on his body to pretend to be a tiger, he dropped a large number of armored troops on the ground.

They are 8 [Master Class] super heavy tanks with a length of 50 meters and 32 [2-M Saber Class] suspension tanks.

Suspended tanks are anti-gravity weapon platforms with a size of 10 meters. They can be suspended one meter above the ground. They have good flexibility, but their maximum speed is only 80 miles. Effectively clears lightly armored targets on the battlefield.

On the other hand, those seemingly bulky 50-meter giant chariots have a full 5 pairs of huge all-terrain road wheels and heavy-duty floating suspension. While ensuring the stability of the upper body, they are terrifying monsters that can soar up to 160 miles .

Each Juggernaut is equipped with two heavy siege guns and reinforced armor, and can carry 300 stormtroopers, which are the backbone of the Imperial Army's assault force.

These data echoed clearly in Lu Feng's mind, which did not move him.

To put it bluntly, this armor force is just so-so, and it might be okay to bully other colonies on Skyrim, but if it faces the gates of hell, it probably won't even be able to break down the walls, so it will have to rely on air support in the end.

Even if they rushed in smoothly, there were only 1200 stormtroopers, and there were too few people.

But the imperial army obviously didn't think so. Before they actually attacked the gate of hell, they would never think of how strong this super city wall was.

In less than half an hour, the imperial army that broke into Tianji Star was fully deployed, bombarding the gate of hell indiscriminately.

And the response from the Gate of Hell was also very positive. The basalt shield weakened visibly with the naked eye every moment, as if breaking the city was just around the corner.

"Damn it, why isn't this tortoise's shell broken!"

After a while, Colonel Baker frowned tightly, feeling that the battle situation was a little delicate.

The shield in front of him has already reached its limit, why is it always maintained at the level of being unbreakable, as if he can succeed if he works harder.

Why do you feel so similar to your ex-girlfriend!

"Adjutant, what is the condition of our troops?"

"Everything is normal. Except for the large ammunition consumption, all indicators have not reached the warning line. Our air force has almost wiped out the enemy fighter planes!"

The adjutant obviously didn't notice any abnormalities, and still felt that his side had a great advantage.

And in fact?
At this moment, looking at the air battlefield where his side is obviously inferior, a sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Feng's mouth.

"Let the Beaulieu brigade get ready, it's time to collect the net."

Underground of several military airports inside the Gate of Hell, a fully armed blade interceptor with its engines fully running, quietly waiting for the gates leading to the ground to open.

at the same time,

The imperial pilots who were still fighting happily did not realize that whenever they used great maneuvers to get rid of the entanglement of the drone, the fuselage would hit more volcanic ash suspended in the air.

Although the Tie Fighter has no air intake design, the extremely viscous ash is gradually covering the huge solar wings.

The imperial pilots had no time to consider the problem of reduced charging efficiency during high-speed battles, and just switched to the backup energy source to continue fighting, but what they didn't realize was that the cooling system of the fuselage was also being covered by ashes little by little.

Moreover, under the deliberate guidance of the drone swarm, the battlefield is already very close to the clouds above the head. The density of volcanic ash here is like heavy snow, and the ash is covered with radioactive dust and charged ions.

Soon, even the cockpit window of the TIE Fighter was covered in ash.

Some irritated imperial pilots could only give up the pleasure of visual killing and use sensors to find the enemy. However, after a certain point, even the sensors were not easy to use.

Suddenly, an annoying warning sound sounded. The pilot saw that the engine temperature was a bit high, but the problem was not serious, and he should be able to persist until...

However, just a few seconds later, the warning suddenly escalated, and a red warning light representing danger was lit in the cockpit.

next moment,
The overheating alarm sound has become one, and the output of the engine has dropped sharply. In order to maintain the flying posture, the fighters can only abandon the target in front of them in a hurry and glide at a low speed.

At this moment, the egg-shaped shield in the distance flickered for the last time, and then completely disintegrated.

Although Colonel Baker in the rear noticed the abnormality of the fighter force, he was reluctant to give up such an opportunity, so he immediately ordered:

"All troops immediately launch a general attack on the local base! Overcome difficulties, use full firepower, and don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!"

however,
Seeing the fighter planes billowing in thick smoke and the proton bombs that had bottomed out, the imperial pilots could only smile helplessly.

How to overcome this!
The best decision now is to let the fleet take over the offensive mission so that the fighters can return to the voyage for repairs.

but,

Baker still retained the last sliver of reason, he cautiously did not dare to send the fleet directly over the enemy fortress, he always felt that it would be a disaster.

It's a pity that whether the disaster strikes or not doesn't matter to him, but Lu Feng's.

"All ministries are attacking according to the scheduled plan!"

The next moment, amidst the terrified expressions of the pilots in the empire, a large number of fighter planes with blue streamers swarmed out from the base in the distance, making a creepy roar, and killed the TIE fighter group in a blink of an eye.

"Hehehe, it was fun to throw the bomb just now, wasn't it?"

The pilots of the Beaulieu Squadron ignored the TIE fighters fleeing in embarrassment, and once they took off, they unstoppably charged towards the TIE bombers.

They know what the main threats to the base are.

The slow bombers are no match for the blade fighters at all. It was so pleasant for the imperial fighters to chase down the Shentang drones just now, and now the reverse effect is also the same for them.

Even the Beaulieu Squadron, which has stronger models and pilot experience, is even more efficient in shooting down.

Every second, imperial fighter jets exploded in the air.

Blade interceptors also cannot fight for a long time in the ashes, but they don't need to fight for a long time, 10 minutes is enough to wipe out all the enemy planes in the air!
Whoosh~boom——!
The blade fighters had so many fighting missiles that even if the TIE fighters scattered and evacuated, they would still be doomed.

The more anxious you are, the more impossible it is for the overheated and smoking engine to increase the speed. In the eyes of Shentang pilots, this is similar to a slow-moving civilian aircraft, which is a one-shot death.

The sudden change in the sky stunned Colonel Baker.

He had expected that the opponent would have fighter units. What he hadn't expected was that his own fighters would malfunction at the same time, just like a sudden poisoning.

"Quick, fleet air defense fire cover, call the orbital fleet to send air support!"

The 46th Fleet has a total of 800 fighters, and 500 fighters have been invested in the ground battlefield. If the follow-up 300 fighters can save the field, at least half of the fighters can be rescued in the end.

At least he thought so.

Lu Feng told him the facts, it was a bit beautiful.

Just as Baker was about to use the flotilla to cover the evacuation of the fighter planes, the gate of hell, which had been silent for a long time, finally made a movement.

As far as the eye can see, there are almost muzzles and elevating forts on the outer walls of the fortress. It is estimated that there are thousands of guns, large and small. When the electromagnetic guns poked their heads out, they were all aligned and pointed at the first time. The frigate where Colonel Baker was located.

Seeing this scene on the screen, Beck's hairs stood on end immediately, and cold sweat dripped down.

"Quick! Lower the altitude! Immediately!"

boom!boom!boom!
The deafening sound of the cannons was like a catastrophe, and the electromagnetic projectile rubbed against the air to form a dazzling line of fire, connecting the gate of hell with the imperial fleet.

The next moment, an even stronger flash and explosion erupted from the imperial fleet at one end, which was a spectacular scene when the battleship exploded in the air.

In just the first round of shooting, nearly one-third of the destroyer fleet exploded and disintegrated in the air. No matter how strong the armor was, it could not withstand such a violent electromagnetic gun fire.

Baker was lucky.

The flagship's fleet sank as soon as it obeyed, causing the flagship to fall below the shooting range of the gate of hell.

Other surviving ships followed suit, trying to use terrain to avoid the terrifying anti-aircraft fire from the gate of hell.

Sure enough, as the altitude dropped, the firepower from far away was much smaller, and the last half of the fleet was out of danger of annihilation.

Baker, who was still in shock, couldn't help cursing in his heart.

What the hell, how could there be a colony with such fierce firepower, this is a super fortress!

Lu Feng: I never said that this is not a fortress, otherwise what do you think?
Lu Feng looked at Huoshaoyun in the distance with a happy mood, and turned to look at his adjutant: "Which area is that?"

"741, Chief."

"Then what are you waiting for, you know where the button is~"

Lu Feng waved his hand casually, but the adjutant beside him excitedly and maliciously opened the operation panel on one side.

After entering the serial number of 741, he pressed the detonation button heavily.

Boom-!
There was a deep rumble in the distance, and then the ground shook more and more seriously, and a red light flickered faintly on the horizon.

On the other hand, at the moment the adjutant pressed the button,
A violent explosion suddenly occurred directly below the imperial fleet, and it was the most intense nuclear explosion!

The Imperial Fleet hovering directly above bore the brunt, and was immediately shrouded in high temperature and shock waves. Round after round of fiery shocks hit, the warship that was constantly on fire was like a piece of burnt firewood, tragically fell into the The sea of ​​fire below.

Yes, down there is a real sea of ​​fire.

The nuclear explosion triggered the movement of the earth's crust. Before the nuclear explosion subsided, a new round of volcanic eruption threw lava and high-temperature debris into the faces of the remaining imperial troops.

Now, even if someone is lucky enough to survive the nuclear explosion, this fatal last hit will still kill him.

After the explosion subsided, the flotilla was wiped out of midair as if it had never existed before, and no one survived.

Such results are naturally shocking,

But the rest of the empire's survivors have long since had no time for him.

The Beaulieu Brigade in the aerial battlefield was hunting turkeys, while the commandos and transport ships staying on the ground were caught in a dilemma. The offensive force was not enough, and the retreat could not escape the anti-aircraft fire.

While hesitating, they ushered in their own meteor fire shower.

It was a volley of rockets launched from the gates of hell, and batches of cheap rockets were thrown over and exploded near the imperial vehicle.

The imperial army tried to rely on its own mobility to evade, but the fortress guns located on the top of the outer fortress had already locked on to the 8 huge targets.

It doesn't matter if you can run 160 miles, under the firepower of the fortress level, it is like a giant mammoth on the battlefield. It looks mighty, but in fact it is just a target for artillery.

The fundamental reason is that the strength of the two sides is not equal, otherwise these heavy tanks would not be so unbearable.

All of a sudden, a corner of the Continent of Ashes was enveloped in explosions.

The race of janitors who had been on tenterhooks watched a grand fireworks show for free, which was an excitement, and now they are screaming and dancing.

As the biggest victim, the Imperial Fleet was out of wrath. Immediately, orbital bombardment fell on the inside of the Gate of Hell, blowing up many factories on the surface.

The follow-up 300 fighters are also long overdue, including 100 TIE bombers, who will take this opportunity to burn this colony that dared to resist the empire to ashes!
Looking at the menacing imperial army, Lu Feng chuckled.

"It's almost done, the combat objective of this stage has been achieved, let our boys withdraw!"

The Beaulieu Brigade, which was attacking everywhere, ordered and prohibited them, and immediately gave up the last bit of enemy planes and returned in triumph.

Except for a few wounded, none crashed!

"Very good, now raise the shield, we call gold and retreat~"

After half a minute,

Amid the expressions of shock and anger of the imperial reinforcements, the basalt shield was turned on at full power again, like a bright pearl shrouded in front of them.

And look at the state of the shield...

Gan!
It turned out to be full power!
