The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"What should we do?" the adjutant asked, "Going to war?"

"Compared to the battlefield where the main force is fighting, this is just a small scene..." Compared with this fleet, the broken ships of the Latavila fleet are no longer worth noting "Assault formation! Get rid of the Latavila fleet , Aim at the center of the enemy formation and break through in one go!"

This operation startled Xiao Bao.

Yuka is still changing the assault formation, but Kaban finds that the opponent is also forming an assault formation... Is this going to be a head-on confrontation like a knight?

In this case, the more favorable offensive is the central breakthrough and semi-encirclement tactics.But it's not for everyone - a central breakthrough means a brutal close combat.

When he was in the Naval Academy, Xiao Bao received this kind of teaching: it is rare to encounter the central breakthrough tactics in the war between civilizations, and any commander who dares to use this kind of fighting method is actually a battleship. A madman who treats soldiers as consumables.But the central breakthrough tactics are no strangers to Tartarus fighters... Tartarus fights the dark worms, as long as they fight, both sides must make at least five to eight central breakthroughs in a battle...

But this is the first time I have seen a conventional civilized fleet that dares to confront me head-on.Xiaobao rubbed his chin, and then straightened the white soft hat on his head—this was different from what he expected: as expected, if the enemy adopts a semi-surrounding tactic to strive for a wider range of firepower output, then aim at the middle Just go over there.But now the other party plans to confront him head-on, which is not good.Unlike other battlegroups that have been established for a long time and have some warship reserves, Japari has a relatively small number of warships. If you lose too much in one breath...

[The formation change is completed - suddenly...]

"Wait, Yuka!" It's really exciting to collide head-on with the opponent, but it's better to wait for the supplies to be sufficient before doing so. "Release the combat probe and determine the coordinates of the Latavila fleet! The 'Karaken' fleet Retreat one thousand kilometers behind the Dreadnought Fleet, and shoot immediately after the opponent enters the range!"

【Eh?Chapter leader? 】 Serval, who was gearing up and planning to go up to have a good time, was stunned for half a second as if hit by a park bus, and then immediately understood Xiaobao's intention 【I understand! 】

If the enemy is on the defensive, then gather all your strength to smash them in one go; but if the opponent is also in an assault posture, you should avoid their edge, and then give them a fatal blow from a position where the opponent cannot react.

The so-called tactics probably mean this.

Chapter 678 Chapter 615: The Bloody Battle in the Ratavila Galaxy

"The main gun is loaded with kinetic energy shotguns! Launch at a low speed!" Fleet commander Shouko, codenamed 'Karaken', possessed a giant squid factor with medium claws, and tapped a few times on the operation screen with the blue arms and legs extending from his head, "Fleet back , Shoot while backing away! Fire freely!"

Protoviruses are a very peculiar thing, they wonderfully mix all kinds of genetic elements that can be accessed on that planet.However, judging from the species of the lotus seeds, the largest number are mammals with relatively close kinship (but the number of primates is unusually small). When she is in the liberated state, she can use the ten arms extending from her head to pick up items, or operate electronic equipment, and she will have more threads of thought, which is especially beneficial for commanding fleets.

It is worth mentioning that some strange individuals have been mixed into the regular data of the cursed son.For example, the floating lotus seeds of the flying stick, the floating lotus seeds of the unicorn, the floating lotus seeds of the kappa, and the floating lotus seeds of the manticore... If the manticore is the product of a mixture of multiple genetic factors, then the flying stick (Note ①) It is completely impossible to understand in the usual way—in this world, flying sticks are not optical illusions caused by cameras, but real creatures.This makes people wonder what the ecosystem of the black bullet world looked like before being attacked by the original enterovirus. (cover face)

(Flying stick: The legendary unconfirmed creature, once thought to look like a drinking straw, with wavy wings on both sides of the drinking straw, flying extremely fast, no naked eye witness records, only photographed It can be proved to exist. The real body is the afterimage formed by the insect on the negative film caused by the shutter time of the camera or camera, and the wing shape is caused by the insect flapping its wings several times in one frame.)

Under the operation of the pilots, the tornadoes moved the hull majestically but sensitively, pointing the sixteen dual-mounted main turrets to the front of the hull—the tornado-class hull structure allowed her to do this easily— Aim in the direction of the enemy.According to common sense, the enemy is still outside the effective range, and the fire control radar is still unable to track and predict the enemy stably, but everyone has a way to solve this problem.

Aim directly with optical sights and fire kinetic energy shotguns.

Huge cannonballs were loaded into the barrels.Conventionally, 1400mm cannons are mostly used to launch powerful fusion bombs, or titanium alloy Saab bombs with extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities. These shells can cause devastating blows to enemy ships.And these shotgun shells are different from those - they are better at hitting 'face'.

In principle, they are similar to shrapnel, which were invented thousands of years ago.Thousands of projectiles made of tungsten carbide are placed in the warhead. After the projectile is detonated, these projectiles, which are made of the same material as the armor of the Amarr Empire battleship, will be shot out under the terrifying impact. The attack range is about a [-]-degree cone. , has considerable advantages against light warships and carrier-based aircraft.

But for the heavy shield of the big ship, the effect of this kind of shell is of course not good-but sometimes, the meaning of shelling is not just to sink the opponent.

Soon, the tornado opened fire.The first is the eight turrets at the front, and then the eight turrets are lowered, and the rear eight are fired again. This shooting method can prevent the hull from losing control under the recoil of 32 1400mm heavy guns fired at the same time.But even so, the drivers in the hydrostatic cabin can still feel strong vibrations.

Thousands of cannonballs flashing orange light were fired towards the Nazcatron fleet thousands of kilometers away. At this distance, their trajectories do not seem to be so accurate, and the flying speed of the cannonballs fired in low-speed mode is hard to say on 'quickly'.

"The enemy fleet fires!" The radar soldier shouted loudly on the bridge, but the tension in the words quickly turned into confusion, "Is... eh? It's shells! The enemy is shooting at us with shells!"

Zeklar froze for a moment—the radar soldier used a very old term, which was used to describe ammunition fired from ancient tubular firearms when it was still on the ground.

"You mean... what? Not 'orbital bombs' but 'cannonballs'?"

"If it's an orbital bomb, it will go up much faster than this..." The radar soldier also showed an incredible expression on his face, "the opponent's ballistic trajectory has been calculated-they will meet with our fleet, but they will not hit."

He couldn't regard this as an attack full of killing intent - the speed of the bullet was too slow and too dazzling, it was not so much a cannonball as it was a firework.

But Zekral didn't dare to take it lightly, he rubbed his nose, and said in an uncertain tone:

"It may be some kind of missile. It will ignite after entering a certain distance, and rush over quickly... Fire controller! After this thing enters the air defense circle, shoot it down immediately!"

"Yes!"

Behind them, the Latavila fleet was firing its main guns, but due to the gradual increase in distance, the gun beams were unable to cause damage to Nascatron's warships.They followed unhurriedly, and made a look that they were going to slip away at any time.No matter how you think about it, you know that these Latavira people are all trying to attract their attention——

Did he see that he planned to attack in one go, so he played some tricks to hold him back?

Although he saw through what Latavila's commander was thinking, Zeklar couldn't do anything about it.It is impossible for me to stop my progress and turn my head to kill them. While continuing to attack, I must always keep in mind that there are hundreds of cannons pointing at my back.

To be honest, this feeling is uncomfortable, but he has no choice but to order the fleet to speed up and rush over here in one breath.

Then, those slow bullets that flew towards him from the front, seemingly harmless, suddenly exploded.

Millions of projectiles made of tungsten carbide were pushed forward by the huge pressure, completely covering the entire fleet.Zekral couldn't react at all, and even if he did, it would be useless—five seconds later, the Nascatelone fleet plunged into the scattered surface made of shotgun shells, their front shields shattered from the attack. sparkling.

"Rush into the barrage! Shot in front of the shield!"

"The output of the front shield generator will be enhanced! The next wave of shells is approaching!"

"Shotgun?!" Zeklar exclaimed, and he asked in bewilderment, "What's the use of this?"

What scares the commander the most on the battlefield is that apart from the overwhelming numbers of opponents, it is probably only the opponents who suddenly make actions that they cannot understand.The art of fighting is to estimate the opponent's purpose based on the opponent's actions, calculate three to four steps, and then use this to decide how to act next.

If you can't understand the opponent's movements, you can't start all the next steps-as we all know, shotguns are ineffective against shields of this level.Just move the power supply a little bit, transfer the energy from the rear to the front shield, and you can ignore the barrage.After the previous few fights, everyone should be well aware of this...

The adjutant shrugged and guessed:

"Perhaps it is to allow us to concentrate our energy on the front, so as to provide opportunities for the small wrecks behind?"

If the opposing commander really thought so, then he must be disappointed.The Latavila fleet couldn't keep up with their own speed, and now their shelling has become extremely messy, and they can't hit the target at all.

While Zeklar was still thinking, the next round of barrage had come over.In the flash of the shield, he vaguely saw a series of light spots in the opponent's array.

"Ok?"

That's the light of the jump... I'm about to start a battle, but I suddenly start the jump engine. Is this an attempt to escape?

Just as he was thinking this way, he heard the screaming voice of the radar officer——

"Enemy fleet! Appeared right behind us!!"

"what?!"

On the battlefield map of the bridge, a series of red light spots appeared behind the blue triangle representing the own fleet.Judging from the quantity, that is only about a quarter of the Zeklar fleet, which was originally a quantity that did not need to be feared at all.

However, Zeklar felt a chill running down his back.

The technology of the opponent's jump engine is probably quite amazing.You must know that there are no beacons or coordinate broadcasting facilities on this battlefield, but they can still directly jump the ship to the position they want on the battlefield-in previous battles, the troops of both sides jumped into a certain galaxy, and then Routine sailing until contact begins to engage in combat; the warring parties will never think of jumping on the battlefield, because if there is no accurate and stable coordinate for reference, the deviation of the end of the jump may reach thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers.

Roughly speaking, you want to jump and ride on the face, but you kick the accelerator and rush to the sidelines...

However, the other party actually circled directly behind him steadily... The accuracy of this transition is really scary.

What's even more frightening is that in order to resist the shotguns coming from the front, the energy supplied to the shield is concentrated in front of the ship.It's like a flash shield is carrying a thread, and suddenly a female ghost appears from behind, can you react in time?

Fortunately, the space battlefield is not an indoor CQB.The flash shield that was entangled by the female ghost will definitely be finished, but the fleet that is entangled by the chrysanthemum still has a chance to turn defeat into victory——

"The whole fleet! Overload the thrusters! Speed ​​up and defeat the opponent's own team!" The opponent has just finished the leap, and it is not so easy to catch up. At this time, it is necessary to stare at the target and penetrate in one go.If you stop, you will end up being surrounded and annihilated, but if you rush up and destroy one side first, and then turn around, you can eliminate the other side.

As for whether the time difference can be grasped, Zeklar can't guarantee it... But war is like this, there is no [-]% victory in the battle, and after making an appropriate choice, the rest is to rely on everyone's struggle Own luck again.

And in the hydrostatic cabin of the squadron flagship, the Throne of Kings-class battleship "Red Queen", Yuka clenched her fist hard:

"Everyone! The hunt has begun! Overloaded micro-jump thrusters to catch up!!!"

【Yes! 】

To be honest, the Throne of Kings-class warship is not a warship known for its speed, but when everyone has the attitude of [this fader should be taken to the mine after this battle], the overloaded warship will be destroyed regardless of the loss. When the button is pressed firmly, they can really soar to an amazing speed.Although this speed certainly cannot compete with high-speed battleships such as the Mark Rui class, it is not a problem to catch up with a second-line force equipped with riot equipment.

This chase didn't last long. When the opponent came into range, Yuka grabbed the window and started shooting. With her gunfire as a signal, all the naval guns within the fleet's reach began to roar straight ahead.Those powerful particle beams were aimed at a point where the last of the ships would pass, and the latter, perhaps unaware or perhaps unable to react, continued on their preset course, trying to accelerate further.

Then, they were submerged in the rain of bullets from intensive shooting.

These arrows composed of high-energy particles tore through the originally weakened tail shields, piercing through the not-so-thick armor below, while splashing bright green sparks.In the next second, there was a huge explosion in its thrusters, and the ship lost control on the spot and became a rolling wreck.

"Very good...very good! That's it!" Yuka cheered loudly, ignoring the constant sound of alarms around her. The temperature of the miniature jump thruster had already exceeded the warning line by a large margin, but she didn't have the energy to take care of it now ——Because the opponent has re-strengthened the shield at the stern of the ship, and started to fight back with the stern turret.

The bow of the Red Queen was hit hard, the armor shattered, and the metal fragments were blown away with astonishing momentum, along with two gun turrets that were blown away—the ship's shields did not provide any protection .But Yuka didn't care, she shook her ears excitedly, opened the communication and shouted loudly:

"Shouzi! Shouzi! The other party's attention has turned to us!"

【I saw! 】'Karaken' looked a little nervous - her expression was like that of a child seeing a buoy sinking when fishing for the first time, with excitement in the tension 【Attention everyone!Mix Titanium Alloy Saab Bomb and Fusion Bomb! 】

The distance is close enough that the fire control system can already calculate the trajectory of the ballistic and the enemy ship.And the enemy is engaged in a fierce battle with the hunting fleet biting its tail, it can be seen that they are quite flustered.

Hisako's eleven thought threads simultaneously realized that this was a golden opportunity.

In the next moment, several titanium 1400mm artillery shells penetrated the front Nazcatron battleship from the front—the poor ship was tilted to one side like a pigeon hit by a wooden club, and the energy pipeline was instantly shattered by a terrible explosion. Destruction, metal fragments and superheated gas raged through the hull, front to back, top to bottom, destroying everyone and equipment in its path.

"La Muya shot!"

"Jedhi is seriously injured!"

The flash from the explosion of the wing ship looked so bright, but it couldn't shake Zeklar's determination. He stood in the center of the bridge, waving his right hand wildly:

"Don't waver! Keep going!"

Only a dozen warships were sunk, and it was not time to retreat.Our number still occupies an absolute numerical advantage——

"Concentrate the firepower in the front hemisphere on the large enemy battleship directly in front!"

This was a blow at the best range, and the enemy's large warship had barely moved, so it was naturally impossible to miss it.Hundreds of purple beams swept across, bursting into a powerful flash on a Morrow class battleship - in that instant, the ship's shields began to burn, and the continuous attack consumed and tore the ship's exterior armor.

He was right...or in a way.The enemy's flagship was indeed among those large bronze-colored battleships. As long as that flagship was destroyed, the enemy's command system would inevitably be in chaos.If Xiaobao, who was in charge of the overall situation, was sent back to take a bath, neither Kotoko nor Yuka would be able to easily control the entire fleet.

However, he wrongly estimated the durability of the Moro-class battleship.In order to avoid damage to the ship as much as possible, the Molo-class dreadnoughts of the Japari Chapter have installed a large number of reinforced compartment partitions in the ship at the expense of firepower, as well as the best internal force field stabilization system available.This allows them to carry the flag in the army even when their armor is destroyed, standing firmly on the battlefield like a nail.

Of course, this was an almost unacceptable thing for Zeklar—the internal structure of the ship was exposed, and it seemed that it had begun to disintegrate, but she still stood there, and even took the remaining A main gun was turned on him.

He didn't even have time to call out the word evasion when he saw a flash of green light.

It was a violent shock, as if a giant beast was roaring deep in the ship.Immediately afterwards, the direction of artificial gravity in the ship swayed suddenly, and everyone on the bridge almost fell down.Zeklar desperately stabilized his body and shouted loudly:

"Damage management team! Report the situation!"

【…】

There is no sound of anyone speaking in the communication channel, only the noisy electric sound.

"What's wrong! Talk!" As if trying to hide his inner feelings, he cursed and threw the communicator aside, "Damn it."

If Zeklar knew what was happening outside, he should not continue to embarrass the damage control personnel who did not answer his instructions-under the bombardment of the four Japari dreadnoughts, the shield of the flagship quickly collapsed up.The particle beams fired by the two flagship-level main guns easily began to tear apart its fragile hull, first the hull, and then the partition wall. Whether it was the beautiful fins or the slender turret, they were all fused with the hull at this moment. Together, including those crew members who happened to be near the impact point.

Bombarded by a large number of 1400mm cannons and dreadnought main guns, coupled with the fact that the flagship was shot and lost command, the momentum of the second-line riot fleet’s advance calmed down within a few minutes.Taking advantage of this moment, the Throne of Kings fleet commanded by Yuka has rushed forward. These warships, which are extremely good at close-to-hand combat, drained the last life of the miniature jump thrusters, and rushed into the enemy group without hesitation. Full fire at dangerous distances.

The Nascatelone fleet was in chaos at this time, and the original unified command system was completely lost.They can only pin their fate on the fighting of each ship on their own - at this time, the advantage of having a large number of people has become a disadvantage.Naturally, it was impossible to fight against the life-and-death clone warriors in this way, and those elegant warships were bathed in blood sacrifice one after another.

【retreat!Back off!If you don't retreat, you will all die here! ] This word, which can’t even be called an order, suddenly appeared in a chaotic communication link. At this time, no one knew who said it, but everyone followed it subconsciously. Breaking out in the direction where there is no artillery fire——

They succeeded.

Most of the Throne of Kings-class warships can no longer activate the micro-jump thrusters. These exquisite machines that distort space to increase speed have burned up the last ripples just like Xisar during the pursuit.The heavy-armored battleship that couldn't accelerate was as slow as a tortoise, and could only watch as the distance between it and the enemy fleet got farther and farther.The line of fire between the two sides is like the thread between the severed lotus root, and it finally fell silent.

The Gapari regiment, which basically lost its mobility, was unable to continue chasing the enemy's remnants.I can only watch that little jet of light gradually disappear into the universe... and then be hit obliquely by the jet light rushing from another direction, and the universe becomes lively again.
