Him and their stars

Of course, it must be admitted that although Marquis Odegaard was so angry at the demonic singing that he wanted to fill the singing guy with a ton of antimatter material and then tie it to a space torpedo. The shot blasted into the black hole, but he still tried his best to stay calm.

He just urged, "Hurry up and prepare the space torpedoes," and didn't make any special reaction.

However, from him down, almost all officers and technical non-commissioned officers in important positions also clenched their fists. They are all members of the Empire, and many of them are directly related to the Marquis Odegaard family. They will never be indifferent to the ridicule of talents.

The Bakvi Birds next to them saw the same reaction from the Imperial Fathers, and naturally began to flap their wings.

"Ugh!" The bird people let out a long cry of grief and anger, like a cuckoo weeping blood, which made the Imperial people next to them look sideways.

"You guys, you have a deeper relationship than me and His Excellency the Marquis! You are so filial... You have composed a hymn of loyalty!"

"It's the greatest happiness to be a dog in the empire! It's not like the people on Earth over there who run around without even knowing who the owner is?"

Dogs are often the angriest when their owners are bullied. The Imperial people think this seems to make sense.

All in all, this heavy cruiser fell into an extremely irrational environment.

The mockery of the Earthling fleet continued. The person who sang probably stopped singing, but it was clearly recorded and being played on a loop.

The demonic singing continued to torture the ears of the Imperial crew members, and more torment, anger, and murderous intent were injected into the fanatical environment.

"Your Excellency!" the gunnery commander's voice came again, even with a hint of obvious urging.

Marquis Odegar still did not react, but was concentrating on the direction of the opposing Community fleet. Just when everyone thought that the new Marquis was ready to endure it, he suddenly turned around and made a gesture to Lenon behind him.

"Orbital main gun No. 3, aim at the enemy ship No. 1 and fire!"

Marquis Odegaard was not prepared to hold back from the beginning. He was not even prepared to issue the commonly known challenge signal to the opponent and engage in a glorious knightly duel. Instead, he was prepared to wait for the enemy to come within his range before proceeding. shelling.

Since it was already a sneak attack, it must be accomplished.

However, the kinetic energy main gun carried by the Type 24 is a battle cruiser-level gun with a very long range. However, he does not want to be discovered by the opponent immediately, so he has been hiding in the asteroid belt to ensure electromagnetic silence on the one hand. It maintains a distance of more than 300,000 kilometers.

A shelling at this distance will give the opponent ample room to evade.

Unless it is on the battlefield of a real large fleet battle, the giant ships like fortresses form a formation and approach step by step, projecting the most lethal weapons at the opponent from an ultra-long distance, and at the same time withstand the opponent's attacks of the same specifications. Our own warships are rubbing shoulders with the companions next to them, and it is impossible to make too many evasive movements. In order to ensure the integrity of the battle formation, it must and can only be used.

Of course, if the crew members of the community are all idiots, it is really possible to achieve a hit. According to imperial military regulations, in such an encounter, if the orbital main gun hits an enemy ship 200,000 kilometers away, the captain, gunnery chief and gunner can all receive medals.

You know, as long as it does not hit obstacles while moving forward, the railgun's range is theoretically unlimited, so any kind of miracle is possible. And these miracles are indeed inspiring generations of Imperial Navy officers.

To date, the longest-range railgun hit in galactic history occurred during the Third Galactic War more than thirty years ago. The orbital main gun of the Imperial dreadnought "General Mogul" hit an enemy ship eight million kilometers away, setting an unprecedented hit record and almost no one since.

This does have too much of a personality component, but it is also a brilliant enough record.

Marquis Odegaard is really looking forward to setting a record himself. However, it is obvious that it is not possible at least for now.

The No. 24 cruiser adjusted its gun muzzle, pushed the shell out of the kinetic energy orbit immediately, and pounced into the Community fleet in the distance.

In just two or three seconds, the cannonball that directly entered the sublight rhythm traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Marquis Odegaard was a little disappointed. This time the bombardment did not hit any enemy ships, but it caused the small fleet in a loose formation to quickly disperse.

At this point, it would be unrealistic if the Community fleet could no longer detect the enemy. They expanded their formation again and rushed towards the asteroid belt, which was the direction of Shiki-24.

This moment is 18:47 on November 12th.

The first head-on battle between the Empire and the Community after thirty-five years has begun!

...cross out the above. This is just a border conflict, neither side knows who the other side is!

"Yes, we are just chasing the Lumina rebels and the mastermind behind the All Souls Cult! It has nothing to do with the empire. Do you understand?" Brigadier General Marklov, who was sitting on Fog City 14, began to fight with everyone. Last communication before.

Of course I understand, I understand. As for how to calculate it after the fight, I can only say that everyone who understands understands, but even if you don’t understand, you don’t understand.

The orbital artillery shell was more than 500 meters away from the outermost assault ship of the fleet. It flew past the dust in space and disappeared in an instant.

In space, with an ultra-long distance of more than 300,000 kilometers, it is quite good for the first deterrent shot to hit such a target. Objective also illustrates the level of Imperial gunners.

If the Community fleet continues to move forward according to the original cruise trajectory, the next shell will most likely hit.

However, the Community Fleet seemed to have already made preparations, and the relatively relaxed queue began to spread again.

The battleships are still moving forward, but they have already begun their second formation. The Corsica at the front of the queue directly sprayed a large amount of jamming bombs into the space, forming a radar-like stealth barrier in front of the entire fleet.

From the beginning to the end, from the second formation of the fleet to the deployment of interference barriers, the entire set of tactical actions can be called a refinement. This is of course not because the Thirteenth Fleet has such strength, but because they have clearly perfected it before. preparation work.

As a result, if the Imperial warship hiding in the asteroid belt wanted to fire again, it would have to be aimed with the naked eye.

More than 300,000 kilometers, equivalent to the distance from the earth to the moon. Of course, such a sharpshooter does not exist, such as Ina. This girl should be able to grow to three or four rings.

However, Yu Lian bet that there was none on the other side's ship, otherwise the first shell would have hit.

Moreover, although orbital artillery shells theoretically have unlimited range, for this kind of long-distance bombardment, everyone still prefers the fleeting light spear cannon!

When can we get the Skybow-type light spear cannon that is currently under discussion at the Alliance Military Engineering Academy? That thing is a powerful weapon that can really penetrate a galaxy! It tastes even better when paired with a gunner like Ina!

Miss Marksman seemed to feel some kind of blazing gaze. She huddled in her main gunner's seat and shivered, then turned to look at the bridge.

Yu Lian, who is still huddled in the medical cabin with only his head exposed, is sitting upright, facing the holographic projection sent by Brigadier Marklov with an attitude of attention.

"Then, according to the original plan, I will leave the command on the battlefield to you. Colonel Bonaparte." The old general said.

"Your Excellency, I..." Eleanor was naturally very satisfied, but she should at least show her modesty on the surface.

"Don't worry, this is what we agreed before. Besides, I really don't have the experience of commanding an entire fleet."

This statement is very questionable. Eleanor's experience of taking three or four small boats to beat up pirates isn't very convincing, right?

"At least, your official has fought many simulated battles in this area. But I, an old technician who was born as a fighter aircraft operator, have never even seen a simulated tactical cabin." He said, and then he stopped smiling: "You just Just use the old man as an ordinary aircraft carrier captain."

Eleanor, who was never pretentious or pretentious, no longer shied away and nodded slightly.

After the communication from the commander was disconnected, the communication channel with the highest command authority was immediately opened to the Corsica.

"Then, according to the original plan, the entire fleet will deploy in B formation!"

Yu Lian glanced at Hachiman and nodded secretly. This guy temporarily re-completed the fleet formation work based on limited information (although this information was provided by Yu Lian), and he did it almost perfectly. From this perspective, this guy is not only suitable for staff work, but is also qualified for the deputy position of a large fleet.

Sending this sinister person to Senior Sister Eleanor as a helper is a perfect personnel arrangement!

The Community fleet not only sent out a dispersed formation, but also began to divide its forces.

Two ranger-class cruisers... ah no, armed merchant ships, the Corsica where the senior is, and the Luoyang 17, captained by Lieutenant Colonel Kong Qingyu, together with 6 destroyers formed Group A, led by Eleanor The senior commanded, still facing the bombardment direction of the imperial warship.

The modifications of the Corsica and Luoyang are mainly about firepower and protection, which are completely enhanced aspects of the most orthodox combat ships.

On the other side, the Wudu No. 14, which can almost be regarded as a light aircraft carrier, and the Venetian No. 57, which can almost be regarded as a troop transport, began to maneuver in front of the enemy with all the assault ships, directly towards the crystal clear, gem-like maze. Asteroids took it away.

This surrounding B fleet was personally commanded by Commander Marklov.

This kind of guerrilla work around the rear is often performed by deputies in the fleet command. However, for the old general, professional matters should be left to professionals. He had only been the captain of an armored aircraft carrier before, and he still had some experience in the application of small ships, but real fleet artillery battles There is no confidence anymore. It's better to leave it to the "lunar man" top students who have at least received professional training.

However, to be honest, it is the ordinary officers who were born in the "non-professional group" and have little academic qualifications who are more likely to have such a measure. If they are really elite bureaucrats, they often regard academic qualifications as abilities.

Because of the need to carry out a large-scale flanking attack, Fleet B led by the Commodore quickly entered a state of sub-light speed cruising. The last thing the naked eye could see were gorgeous strips of light, drawing bright tracks in the void.

As for the A ship commanded by Eleanor, it always maintained an orderly rhythm and slowly approached the opponent.

"If Marquis Odegaard has learned basic military knowledge, he should be able to guess what we want to do!" Eleanor said.

Yes, when assault ships and aircraft carriers enter the asteroid belt, to put it bluntly, aren't they just preparing to rely on their dexterous size and the cover of asteroids to weaken the firepower advantage of the giant ship as much as possible, and turn the battle into a bad fight between gangs?

"Similarly, we all know what he will choose." Feifei smiled.

"There is no way. The Imperial Royal Knights Academy and the Royal Naval Academy use the same teaching materials as ours."

Except for a certain man with spectacles and facial paralysis who continued to look concave, several "Moonmen" present couldn't help but laugh. As for the scumbags present who couldn't go to military school, although they always felt that they were being ridiculed, at least they were not as nervous as before.

Suddenly, although the bridge was not filled with happy air, it at least seemed much more relaxed.

This is also understandable. The predecessor of the Central Defense University of the Community was originally a regular academy built by the Empire in the solar system to train officers of the Earth Human-Emperor Alliance Army. The teaching materials used were naturally the same as those of the Empire.

Nowadays, military salutes and postures are all imperial-style, but in order to express the break with the empire, military uniforms and military rank symbols are all alliance-style. In this way, the spirit of the community army, known as the third largest military force in the galaxy, The appearance really looks quite divided.

Back to the topic, since Marquis Odegaard is an elite with both civil and military skills, he should naturally understand that although his side is a heavy cruiser, it only has one ship after all, and a really bad war will not be worth the gain. If he was smart enough and decisive enough, he should ignore Fleet B that was circling behind and defeat Eleanor's side as quickly as possible.

"So, according to common sense, he should not continue to hide in the asteroid belt. This will affect the shooting range and weaken the firepower." Akinayama Hachiman said.

"But this way, he won't be able to annihilate us all." Yu Lian said.

Yes, once the battle occurs in a relatively open space, the Empire's Clear Sky class can unleash its super firepower unscrupulously, but it will also give the Community ships too much room to escape. Perhaps, as long as these two main patrol ships are sunk or even destroyed, the remaining destroyers will make the best choice.

"...So, that Marquis of Odegaard, really has such a big appetite?" Hachiman asked one more question. He wasn't doubting, he was confirming.

"If I have so many trump cards as him, and such a big appetite. In addition, I have been provocative to this point just now. If he doesn't take the initiative, it will be difficult for the throne of Marquis Odegaard. Although this kind of veteran sword-wielding nobleman is martial There is plenty of virtue, but there are too many things to carry, and true freedom is never achieved!”

"So, you actually know so much about the affairs of the Marquis Odegaard family?" Akinayama Hachiman continued to ask.

"Because they are also famous families in the empire, and we have killed several of them. They have always been the pioneers of anti-Earth people! So I decided to kill a few more! Kill all of them who have the right to inherit, and let the Imperial Heraldry Academy directly It would be best if this family is expelled!" Yu Lian grinned and showed a murderous smile.

Eleanor and Feifei could not help but exchange a quick look, but neither of them understood why Yu Lian suddenly became so evil.

The only person who looked confused was Akinayama Hachiman, who seemed to be unable to read the current air: "Then you can actually compose limericks in the imperial court language?"

Are you Hachiman and Naughty Sanqianwen? So much trouble? "As an excellent general, he must also master the highest level of provocation ability! So everyone must improve their knowledge level!"

"... From now on, don't do this kind of thing unless you have to, it's too disgraceful." Eleanor, who understands the imperial court language, said: "You don't look like a glorious community officer at all, more like a person with no lower limit. of pirates.”

Her tone didn't sound like an order, but more like an intellectual and virtuous wife persuading her lover not to break out. Observers of the universe should all understand this kind of experience, right?

Oh, by the way, most observers of the universe don't have wives.

"The key is that the singing is not nice, and the lyrics don't rhyme." Feifei, who also understands the imperial community language, pursed her lips and smiled: "How about you ask Xiaoqing to help you polish it next time? It's best to ask Selina Can I teach you basic pronunciation skills?”

"Xiao Qing? Selena?" Eleanor crossed her eyes, as if she had discovered some important information.

Fortunately, at this time, the interference barrier that had just been opened also lost its effectiveness. Fleet A advanced an additional 100,000 kilometers to the opponent's position, and the high-energy response alarm sounded again from the bridge.

"It's... an ion energy cannon!"

"The enemy ship's position has been captured!" the reconnaissance technical officer's voice sounded on the bridge.

No need to avoid it! Stay in attack formation! "Eleanor quickly switched her attention to the battlefield and began to issue the next order: "Start to fight back! The entire fleet, the first round of Storm missiles, is launched! "
