"Route to 270, release the first and second bomber squadrons to attack the designated target!"
"Phil 1 and Phil 2, fire torpedoes at the enemy's fearless level!"
After receiving the command, all the flight decks on both sides of the Crossbow Arrow were opened, and Star Eagle bombers slid out of the track, and quickly formed a formation to fly towards the enemy fleet.
At this time, the Red Pirates' fleet discovered the attacking aviation formation, and then maintained its course 270, and accelerated again, trying to go around to the other side of the imperial formation. The two scimitar-class frigates of the Empire also turned to 170 to occupy the favorable torpedo launch position in the bow direction.
They then fired torpedoes, targeting the enemy's fearless level, while the enemy commander made a mistake in judgment, believing that the torpedoes and fighter planes were rushed to them, and immediately attracted two plundering ships to try to intercept these attacks, causing another cruiser to temporarily fall into isolation and helplessness.
When the Star Eagle bomber formation suddenly turned to the fire range of the light cruiser, it rushed to activate its defensive weapons. However, as a small ship with a large number of rough modifications and extremely poor combat readiness, it could not independently fight the attacks of the two bomber squadrons. Various explosions, missile trails, and lasers made the scene look lively, but no bomber was shot down until it broke through the Void Shield.
Dozens of plasma missiles flew out of the bomber's cabin with trails, most of which exploded huge holes in the hulls of light cruisers. Two missiles directly hit the bridge position, turning the superstructure into a sea of ​​fire.
After the missiles were finished, there were plasma magnetic bombs and hot melt missiles. The small boat trembled like a dead trapped beast during the bombing. The bombs that penetrated the layers of decks exploded in the cabins, the dark temples and the slave decks. Its main guns, engines, fuel depots and cargo holds were all blown to ashes.
Countless flame-burning metal fragments gushed out of its cracked internal structure into the air, and plasma flames burst out from its wounds like blood.
After a bomber dropped the last bomb into the inner structure of the fighter's explosion, the ship's engine also exploded catastrophically. The Star Eagles quickly left the ship and broke into two, becoming targets of countless dirty broken steel.
At this time, the enemy's Fearless Class and two Trustless Class Raiders were still avoiding the 12 torpedoes fired by Phil 1 and Phil 2. None of these weapons could be countered and could only intercept at long distances with firepower as much as possible, which also made them flawlessly consider the friendly ships besieged by bombers.
As a result, when the cruiser was interrupted to two pieces in a catastrophic explosion, the Red Pirates' fleet immediately had an unexpected situation.
A plundering ship directly leaves the formation and accelerates to escape in another direction.
"Hehe, this is heresy. Escape at the last minute is really in line with their identities."
After only one look, Chinedu knew that the ship was planning to abandon his friendly troops and ran away by himself. This situation was not uncommon in fighting against the Red Pirates. The word "pirate" determines their combat style and fighting will.
"Don't worry about it, concentrate firepower to attack the Fearless Class. The first and second bombers squadrons landed in turn from the left deck, and the third bombers squadron took off from the right deck."
"Change the course to 160, the enemy ship's course is 090, the orientation is 188, and the horizontal is 20 degrees."
Three minutes later, the crossbow arrow fired again and hit the enemy's Fearless Void Shield.
Similarly, the enemy's main gun also shot on the void shield of the crossbow arrow, causing ripples.
"Shield cuts by about 24%!"
"Reactor power increases by 10%!"
"Engine output is reduced by 17%!"
Chinedu was unmoved because he knew that this was just the enemy's dying struggle. Even in a very perfect state, the speed and the provocation level were almost the same. What's more, this kind of fearless level with low combat readiness level has no possibility of getting rid of the pursuit.
At the same time, Phil 3 and 4 also left the formation and headed to the front of the port side of the crossbow arrow, gathering fire to shoot enemy cruisers at the extreme range, but stopped after 5 minutes because their artillery at this distance could not effectively threaten the enemy's Void Shield.
Chinedu Orders Frigate—
"Get close and attack the enemy with torpedoes!"
But when the command arrived, the enemy cruiser suddenly changed his course sharply, but instead rushed towards the crossbow, as if he had planned to die together. However, Chinedu fought with the Red Pirates for so long, and knew very well that the other party should be going to jump into the gang battle, which means that the ship was probably carrying Chaos Space Marine.
These guys are very dangerous. Once they are jumped onto the boat, even if there are only a dozen people, they are not the guards on the boat that can resist.
However, it is not that easy to jump to the gang in naval battles, not to mention that they use a light cruiser that is not designed for close combat.
Chinedu then ordered the ships to change their course to 215 together and let the frigates form in a row. Then the enemy cruised and only one plundering ship left also turned to 215, intending to maneuver it to the side of the crossbow.
After that, the frigates fired at the maximum range for a few minutes. The enemy's plundering ship changed its course to the port side, trying to cover the cruiser's approaching the crossbow and block the bomber squadron that had already flown to the attack range, but it was actually the target of the bombers' attack.
Phil 1 and Phil 3 used continuous firepower to weaken the Void Shield, and then the Star Eagle Bomber passed through the weak defensive firepower of the enemy ship and fired a large number of plasma missiles and hot melt missiles.
Most plundering ships emphasize speed and bearing capacity, and their defense capabilities are usually poor, so just a squadron of bombers will cause its entire superstructure to collapse, turning into a large amount of burning metal sprayed, and blowing into three pieces in a minute.
The last martyr was destroyed, and the enemy's fearless class began a desperate charge. Its artillery fire turned back to the crossbow arrow at the 210 position, shooting desperately, trying to weaken the Void Shield.
However, it had to face a complete frigate formation, and its distance was completely impossible to guarantee the hit of the jump torpedo.
When the attacking bomber formation returns, the Blitz formation is released, and there is another bomber formation.
"Phil 3 and Phil 4 have their own safety priority and launch torpedoes at the enemy's fearless level at the extreme distance!"
12 torpedoes were launched, but the firepower of the Fearless-class single ship could not be intercepted at all. It could only change direction and try to maneuver and launch jamming beacons. It was not easy for the torpedo to hit a small and medium-sized warship at an extreme distance.
6 torpedoes were staggered from the target, 2 were deceived by bait, 2 were shot down, but 2 were still hit by the Void Shield.
