Earth Invasion

Chapter 383 Take Advantage

Queuing and shooting is a cruel tactic, whether it is the era of flintlock guns before World War I or the era of sea warfare before aircraft carriers.Use your own body to compete with the opponent's artillery fire, and see who can't hold on first, and whoever is the loser.

When the space battleships approached the distance of 3000 kilometers, they were basically lined up and shot. The violent snake-like maneuver was of little significance. The heavy particle cannon could hit the target in only one second. For the quantum computer of the battleship and even the control of personality, it is already easy to predict the amount in advance.

What can be fought is only firepower, armor, and power.

The returning fleet, which was disrupted by nuclear bombs first, took the initiative, and they didn't have to sink the opponent's large-tonnage warships. Mosquitoes are small enough to be meat.One bite and run is the right thing to do.

The return fleet, which is fast in itself, made an action in which the G value was at the upper limit of humanoid creatures during this high-speed raid. 10 frigates and 8 destroyers suddenly drilled out from under the four cruisers, and when the NATO fleet's enemy tracking system was restored, they faced a sudden increase in firepower that doubled.The newly added 26 heavy particle cannons and the newly added 52 electromagnetic reconnection guns poured firepower on the frigates and destroyers of the NATO fleet like a torrential rain at a frequency capable of burning out capacitors.

Suddenly, the blue and orange light nets covered the escort squadron of the NATO Grand Fleet.

Definitely the most frustrating thing to do when your opponent is going crazy.

Heavy particle cannons are okay. Destroyers and frigate-class warships are still relatively small in terms of the mass of heavy metal atoms projected. The compound attack deflection electric field of ordinary plasma and proton beams is relatively good, but they get a speed of 80 kilometers per second. The added electromagnetic reconnection gun piercing rod is not so easy to deal with. These hard alloy rods with a mass of tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms carry amazing kinetic energy under the combined action of electromagnetic force and planetary gravitational slingshot.

Some of these kinetic energy piercing rods were even directly broken by the deflection electric field, and the rear half of the piercing rods were still heavily wedged into the armor of the battleship.

The metal projectile smashes the energized silicon carbide hardened shell on the surface of the base armor, tearing a deep hole in the main armor below. Even memory metal can't restore the structure in such a short time, it can only let the kinetic energy have not yet recovered. The released piercing rod tore off the absolute black body coating below, circulated the heat dissipation liquid helium layer, and finally opened a large irreparable hole in the titanium alloy structural armor.

A Saxony-class frigate that was hit rolled painfully. It was filled with inert gas, and the high pressure inside prevented armor fragments and low-temperature helium from penetrating into the interior of the battleship and causing serious secondary damage. The jet still made it lose control of its posture.

This is not the worst, because without the protection of the deflection electric field, the various charged particle cannons in the returning fleet irradiated it like a stone in a well.

These directed energy weapons advancing at the speed of light are accurately focused on the bow of the ship that has lost the protection of the deflection electric field due to the rupture of the base armor. The charged particle beam and high-energy laser continue to expand this wound, and the entire front half of the battleship also began to lose control. .The charged particle cannon that penetrated several decks one by one turned the spherical robot and maintenance personnel that were performing damage control inside into a mosaic.

After the first round of strikes, the second round of precision strikes came again. At this time, many NATO frigates and destroyers temporarily lost the protection of deflection electric fields.At this juncture, the four cruisers returning to the fleet suddenly burst into brilliant light as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and aimed all their firepower at the cruisers supporting the destroyer frigate group, which was in a hurry.

In this way, the destroyer fleet, which was beaten by a round of rapid fire like a frost-beaten eggplant, was out of luck.All the warships that returned to the fleet gave up the bombardment with heavy particle cannons, and switched to the bombardment mode of electromagnetic reconnection cannons, all of them were converted to plasma cannons, and began to use the high speed of plasma cannons to give those unlucky ones in the first round precise control. hit.

The wounded warships that had suffered heavy damage from the electromagnetic reconnection gun attack finally ushered in their doom.

During the few seconds when the returning fleet and the NATO large fleet staggered, just two rounds of shooting caused considerable damage to the somewhat unprepared NATO destroyer fleet.When the destroyer unit returning to the fleet turned sharply again, hid in the shadow of the cruiser and departed from the orbit of the moon, at least five warships in the NATO fleet were on the verge of explosion, and various gases and electric sparks rolled on those warships. A large number of escape pods escaped from the battleship and flew towards the battleship squadron.In addition, more than a dozen warships of various types suffered moderate damage, two of which were seriously injured.

At this time, those returning to the fleet had turned more than 100 degrees along the central axis of the battleship, forming a posture with their heads facing the Assyrian planet and their tails facing outward. optical camouflage.With the speed accumulated on the fourth planet, these NATO warships can't catch up with them even if they flatter them.

However, this does not mean that there is no loss in returning to the fleet.Not to mention the capacitors lost due to overload on the four destroyers, more than a dozen maintenance personnel died just to replace the external armor modules, and countless spherical robots were shredded by the violent electric field vortex.The starboard side of the Akatsuki, which was always on the outermost edge, was stuck with a plasma cannon, a catapult was scrapped, and the two charged particle cannon matrices became garbage.

What was even more unlucky was the Yongzhihua. In the final stage of disengagement, the salvo of the NATO Fury cruiser that delivered the final blow broke through its deflection electric field, and the two electromagnetic reconnection guns and one on the left side of the Yongzhihua's bow left the ship. A heavy particle cannon melted directly from the battleship.

The biggest loss came from when the returning fleet's destroyer fleet finished shooting and turned. The destroyer "Falling Star Sea" located at the outermost edge was caught by the NATO cruiser "May 5" because its position was too far outside. shoot.The entire destroyer was instantly pierced by a volcanic eruption-like light beam from the right side, and the destroyed rear superconducting battery stack induced a violent ion explosion, and the entire battleship was engulfed in blue flames in a few seconds. None were spared.

The warships returning to the fleet gradually disappeared, and the artillery fire between the space circle and NATO became sparse.General Collins began to direct his fleet to keep the front of the warship pointing at the opponent, and on the other hand, he turned off the main thruster, and then used the thrust reverser to make the warship retract into Nasha's gravitational circle, and slowly left the battlefield backwards.The NATO fleet also began to withdraw its own UFP, pointed its bow vigilantly at the large fleet in the space circle, and slowly retreated into deep space.

Facts have proved that capital ships are very resistant to beating.The Violent Shadow and the Doomsday were determined to be cowards, and after being beaten up mindlessly by the opponent's large fleet for more than ten minutes, although they looked extremely embarrassed, they did not suffer any major damage.

As the commanders of the battle between battleships for the first time, both Racliffe and Collins are pondering over the battle posture between battleships. At least from this battle, it is unrealistic to plan for a quick battle. , if formulating tactics around a large meat shield like a capital ship becomes a top priority.Of course, these have their own combat staff to worry about.While shrinking their forces and breaking away from contact, the two generals couldn't help looking towards the North Pole of Assyria.

The capital ship is already like this, so what about the even better Star Destroyer?

Of course, General Ratcliffe has another thing to worry about. After being beaten up by the unknown fleet, although the destroyer flotilla is not hurt, but it will be exhausted by the large fleet in the space circle. Some lack of confidence.Moreover, he was expelled from the orbit of the moon, and he would slowly suffer in terms of ground speed.What's more terrible is that no matter how much you lose, how many warships can be allocated by the old guy on the opposite side to participate in the ground attack.

What kind of scene was that? The frigates and destroyers in the space circle entered low orbit one by one, and then used ion rockets or kinetic energy piercing rods and other messy things to smash the colony's security forces.The space circle and those Assyrians drove them out of Kilcoin and other places like rabbits, and then drove them all the way south until they reached the southern end of the Nebula Continent, letting them jump into the sea to feed the fish.

Thinking of this scene, the general couldn't help but shudder.

How many people died, anyway, it was done by the space circle and the natives on the ground.But Rahal Summitt, an Indian-born man, will definitely sue himself to the joint meeting, and put all the responsibility for the loss of the colony on himself, so that he will not only take off his military uniform but not be able to receive a pension, He will also let himself go to the military prison in Guantanamo Bay until his bones are eaten by termites.

There must be a way.Otherwise, I will be in big trouble.

And his opponent, General Collins, didn't seem to be happy either.

"We seem to have to help the 'favorite' accomplish a feat of defeating NATO on the ground."

His deputy, Uhtred Nakajima, was a little strange about this.

"Your Excellency, you seem to be very happy to see us forming an army, but you don't seem very happy."

"Your Excellency Nakajima." General Collins took off his helmet and made himself sit more comfortably. "I'm not worried about building the army, but I'm worried that the 'favorite' fought too smoothly, making the war more difficult. Towards the point of no return."
