"The enemy fleet has started charging its main guns!"
"The enemy fleet has activated its full protective shield!"
"Contact is imminent, our ship's recharging has been completed!"
"Our ship has activated its full protective cover!"
In the heavy battleship acting as the command ship, reports were passed back and forth on the bridge.
Yang Ming sat quietly in the captain's chair, his expression relatively calm; while the two generals standing next to him had sweat dripping from their foreheads at this moment.
Under his seat is a rising column, and below the column is a communications command platform distributed in a 'pyramid' shape, with dozens of communications soldiers connecting every corner of the fleet.
"The enemy fleet sent a communication request, and the communication channel is the interstellar public channel!"
"Connected."
"yes!"
The light in front intertwined, and on the large screen showing the real-time battlefield sandbox, the Sherman Empire's Admiral Akzi showed his true appearance.
He stared at Yang Ming with eyes like a falcon, as if he didn't expect that the coach opposite him would be such a young man.
Akzi said loudly:
"I, General Akzi of the Sherman Empire, hereby read to your department His Majesty Emperor Sherman's edict of revolt!"
"We do not accept the edict of rebellion!"
Yang Ming tried to interrupt Akzi:
"The Sherman Empire and the Luofeng Democratic Republic have no affiliation in any form or nature, and there is no essential gap between the Sherman Empire and the Luofeng Alliance. For the well-being of the 20 billion Luofeng people, we,
For the sake of your own freedom and the independence of your sovereignty, I hereby issue a warning to you!"
Akzi raised his voice and shouted: "The Luofeng Empire is a subsidiary of our Sherman Empire. The establishment of the Luofeng Empire is the support of our Sherman Empire. The continuation of the Luofeng Empire is our Sherman Empire."
Shelter!"
"Ahead of you is the national border of the Luofeng Alliance! According to the interstellar convention, our Luofeng Alliance army has the right to maintain the security and integrity of its own airspace!"
"If the Luofeng Empire wants to avoid the fate of national subjugation, it should immediately publicly apologize to our Sherman Empire, compensate our Sherman Empire for war losses, restore the imperial system, and its emperor should go to the Emperor Star to plead guilty and accept the trial of the great Emperor Sherman
!”
"If you take another half step forward, you will definitely incur a devastating blow from us!"
The two of them shouted almost at the same time.
The eyes of the two parties met, and their eyes collided. In the end, they just sneered and hung up the communication.
"The enemy ship begins to accelerate at full speed!"
"Command to the entire army!"
Yang Ming stood up suddenly, and his voice appeared on the loudspeaker devices on all ships of the Luofeng Alliance.
He was silent for two seconds and said in a deep voice:
"Soldiers of Luofeng! I am your commander-in-chief Yang Ming!
"The Sherman Empire's fleet has arrived at the border of our Fallen Alliance. The invaders have opened their fangs towards us. We will destroy all invading enemies with the power of thunder!
"The Sherman Empire was by no means invincible!
"soldiers!
"We have gone through hardships and dangers to unite and stand together! In this cruel universe where the weak eats the strong and strength is king, only strength can keep our families fed and clothed, and only by becoming stronger can we survive in the face of invaders.
Have the strength to repel them!
"Whether the member states of the Luofeng Alliance can become a history of being constantly exploited and bullied by big powers depends on this battle! It all depends on whether our side can win!
"For the homeland behind us!
"For our descendants to stand tall and raise their heads as human civilization in the Milky Way!
"For our dignity! For the interests of the next hundred years!
"This is the founding battle of our Luofeng Alliance!
"I declare!
"The whole army fights to the death! Until the invading enemy is completely defeated!
"Now! Please witness history, witness the history that is about to be created by us! The third, sixth, ninth, twelfth, eighteenth, and nineteenth special operations departments! Obey the order!"
"Report!"
A strong voice roared:
"The target dreadnought has entered our range!"
"Report! The target dreadnought has entered our range!"
"Report!"
After six reports and six low roars, Yang Ming's eyes became hot and his voice became high-pitched unconsciously.
The picture on the big screen has been switched to five split screens.
The five major battle groups of the empire are installed in the split screen. In the center of all split screens are giant battleships with a length of 13,000 to 15,000 meters that are rapidly recharging.
Yang Ming's eyes burst out with light, it was excitement, high pitch, excitement, and sharp fighting spirit!
Yes, the Empire has just started activating the outer shield ships now!
Because they believe in the range of the dreadnought, the energy attack of the dreadnought is adjusted to barrel charging at this moment, and the energy supply of the protective shield is reduced!
This is the inertia of empire!
This is Luofeng's only chance!
This is the local advantage created by technology and cognition!
"Order your department to remove the holographic disguise!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Behind the Luofeng battle formation, six groups of light were slightly distorted, as if curtains were being lifted one by one, revealing the dark... giant triangular pyramid-shaped gun barrels inside!
Each side of the triangular pyramid has a side length of more than 30,000 meters, and the outer layer is closely arranged like fish scales. Modules with different functions include charging, close defense, posture adjustment, propulsion power, etc.;
The tip of the Mitsubishi cone is a giant gun barrel.
Compared with the Empire's dreadnoughts, the gun's barrel has a larger diameter and a longer ion acceleration length. At this moment, the barrel has been charged, and you can see the perfectly arranged circles of threads inside.
This is Luofeng’s self-propelled planetary cannon!
Compared to dreadnoughts, this self-propelled planetary gun has countless disadvantages.
Their speed is too low and their maneuverability is poor. To complete the jump, they need multiple tug ships. They also need a lot of machinery to maintain themselves. They need at least one galactic time to recharge after each firing. Once surrounded by a large number of enemies, their protective capabilities are fragile.
, let him kneel down whenever he wants.
But it only has a little advantage.
This advantage is the nightmare of the Sherman Empire's fleet, and it is the prelude to today's tragic war.
Their effective range and instantaneous energy release are both higher than those of dreadnoughts!
On the Imperial Command Ship, General Aziz was still thinking about the young general's eyes, when suddenly a projection frame with a red frame, indicating an urgent military situation, popped up in front of his eyes. The content inside was a bit unfamiliar... no, it was completely unfamiliar.
Triangular body.
Seeing these things, General Akzi's heart skipped a beat.
Are there weapons beyond his knowledge? And no matter how you look at it, it looks like a group of small fortresses floating around the periphery of the Emperor Star, but it is many times larger than those small fortresses!
He suddenly thought of the Sixth Fleet that was quickly annihilated by Luo Feng.
"What's this?"
General Akzi asked quickly, but before he got a response from Imperial Guard 2.0, he was already shouting an order:
"All shield ships turn on their shields at full power! Protect our dreadnoughts! The dreadnoughts turn on their full shields! Hurry!"
"General! That is a new type of weapon, suspected to be a planetary gun-level weapon!"
Inside the Luofeng command ship.
"Target locked!"
"Target locked!"
Yang Ming clenched his fists tightly, but his voice remained extremely calm.
"fire."
Six operators pressed the buttons in front of them at the same time, and the perfect spirals bloomed like supernova explosions of light.
Six beams of light passed over the heads of the Fallen Wind Alliance fleet!
This picture was played simultaneously on the screens of all ships!
The first battle of the Luofeng self-propelled planetary cannon is destined to be written into the war textbooks for hundreds of years to come!
Light blooms and space distorts.
The array of the empire's five dreadnoughts was ignited by the beams ejected from the self-propelled planetary cannon, which ignited a series of apertures!
Although General Akzi issued the order to increase the protective energy as quickly as possible, the Luofeng side obviously did not give the soldiers of the Sherman Empire a chance to operate.
Three huge light groups appeared deep in the Sherman Empire battle formation!
Three dreadnoughts were detonated at the same time, and energy spurted outward in the form of radiation at extremely high speeds. The nearby escorting Sherman Empire fleet also suffered heavy losses!
General Akzi stared at the scene in front of him.
He had some difficulty breathing.
Energy radiation reaches the command ship where he is located.
Although the command ship supplied all its energy to its own protective shield, the ship's body was still trembling;
Just like Akzi's pounding heartbeat at this moment.
General Akzi's expression became ferocious, and he suddenly shouted: "The whole ship retreats! Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Due to the violent surge of peripheral energy, his voice and this order were not directly transmitted to the ships.
"The enemy planetary cannon starts charging! General!"
Labrador shouted quickly:
"If we retreat, they will charge forward, which will cause an all-round rout! We still have the strength to fight! I have already calculated that it will take fifty to seventy minutes for their planetary cannon to be fully charged!
"We should move forward to destroy the enemy's slow-moving planetary cannon!"
"Asshole! Mader! Our intelligence service is a son of a bitch!"
General Akzi roared, but he quickly calmed down. His rich combat experience allowed him to make a judgment that was consistent with the current situation.
"Labdo, immediately form four battle groups! Aim to destroy the opponent's planetary cannon! Cut into the opponent's battle situation! Destroy the opponent's array!"
"yes!"
"The rear reinforcements move forward immediately to support, don't wait any longer! The enemy doesn't know how many planetary cannons they have!"
"yes!"
"Our dreadnought, don't worry about whether it will self-destruct, use all the energy on the main gun, charge forward, and be sure to destroy enough of the opponent's planetary cannons!"
…
Luofeng command ship!
"Three enemy dreadnoughts were destroyed, and the two dreadnoughts lost 60% of their energy."
"Our planetary cannon begins to retreat and recharge."
Cheers, shouts, and inspiring screams spread throughout every corner of the Luofeng Fleet.
But the cheers did not last long. The soldiers immediately returned to their posts and calmly carried out the orders they received.
The morale of the Luofeng Alliance has been greatly boosted!
The Sherman Empire did not retreat, but began to accelerate forward across the board.
They can only move forward; they can only move forward;
This airspace is now unable to jump outward. If they retreat backwards, they will be pursued by the Luofeng Alliance, and they will almost be defeated without a fight.
For the generals of the empire, no one can afford to lose the war without firing a single shot.
The reaction from the Luofeng Alliance was even more radical.
They actually took the initiative to charge forward against each other, targeting the opponent's two dreadnought ships. They must destroy these two dreadnought ships before the dreadnought ship fires for the second time!
Both sides actually started to speed up their hedging!
The tail flames emitted by the ships became the brightest note in the starry sky at this moment!
Two bright beams of light spurted out, and Luofeng's two self-propelled planetary cannons were triggered to gather energy and exploded into new light clusters.
But Luofeng had already prepared for this. The six self-propelled planetary cannons did not overlap with the ships of the Luofeng fleet in the lateral direction.
The Sherman Empire's counterattack was equally sharp.
The two sides quickly zoomed in on the spatial orientation.
Heavy battleship opens fire!
Large gunboat opens fire!
Light battleships, star cruisers open fire!
The shield ship supports a thin film of light, and the fragile life will not have any connotation or profound meaning under the impact of the hot ion beam.
In the starry sky, nearly 30,000 ships competed at short distances.
The intensity of the war was already at its peak from the very beginning.
Yang Ming watched all this calmly. As a commander, he must be responsible for his soldiers. He must make the soldiers' deaths worthwhile, and he must make the enemy pay the heaviest price.
General Akzi kept roaring.
He no longer had the graceful demeanor at the beginning, and now he wanted to turn his saliva into energy and spray it on the other person's face.
The Sherman fleet was blocked from the front!
Every moment, ships' energy shields are exhausted and explode.
In space battles, human crew members are just parts on the ship. If the ship dies and everyone dies, there is only a very small chance that they can escape by means of an escape ship.
For close-range ship battles, Luo Feng is obviously more prepared!
First of all, the Fallen Alliance fleet is under the control of Law, and all orders are conveyed efficiently. Facing the prestigious Sherman Empire ships, the soldiers of the Fallen Alliance did not show any timidity and professionalism under the stimulation of the planetary cannon.
Execute various commands efficiently.
Secondly, what the Luofeng Alliance is going to fight today is close-range ship warfare.
Because only by getting close enough can the advantages of their new missiles be fully utilized, and their second trump card play a key role.
The Shermans never dreamed that one day they would be left behind in a close-quarters ship battle.
Almost all ships of the Luofeng Alliance, except for necessary energy ships, carry varying numbers of combat drones.
When the energy shields of these ships are exhausted, their outer cabins and tail cabins will be opened at the same time, just like giant space Zerg individuals releasing the bugs they contain before they die, all drones they carry will be released.
come out.
When the two sides are almost in close combat, the outer cabins and tail cabins of the ships are opened, and dozens or hundreds of unmanned fighter jets will swarm out, seemingly chaotic, but in fact they pounce on the enemy dexterously.
Not to mention, the transport ships and supply ships following the shield ships have become cheap drone motherships.
From the perspective of the Sherman Empire, all Luofeng's drones are uniformly deployed by a network that covers the battlefield.
They have distinct tactics, are extremely dexterous, and have extremely strong fighting power. As long as they get close to the protective cover of the Sherman Empire ship, they can easily cause turbulence in the protective cover, tear a hole, and approach their hull!
This is almost impossible!
In Labrador’s opinion, the current human civilization in the Milky Way cannot achieve this kind of battlefield network technology;
The technology related to these several-meter-long drones breaking through the ship's protective cover is only in the theoretical stage.
Yes.
Swarm of insects!
These drones mimic the way bugs fight!
The Fallen Wind Alliance indeed has innovations in military technology!
With the addition of the drone swarm, the Imperial fleet was not only blocked from its momentum, but was even directly put into an absolute disadvantage in some areas.
Although the Luofeng side also suffered heavy losses, they became more courageous as they fought and never retreated at all. Each ship had a clear tactical positioning.
intersperse, cut off, surround, devour.
When the war broke out within half the galaxy, the losses of ships on both sides were huge. The Sherman Empire lost almost two-fifths of its main battleships and supply ships;
After paying the price of 2,600 battleships and the sacrifice of more than 6 million soldiers, the Luofeng Alliance completed the cut and encirclement of the Sherman Empire fleet and took full advantage!
At this moment, through the perspective of their respective fleets, the leaders of the two political systems who were watching from a distance fell silent.
Downwind.
Emilia pursed her lips tightly, her palms now covered in sweat.
Naturally, she and the heads of other member states have noticed that Luofeng has an overall advantage, while the Sherman Empire is at a disadvantage across the board and is beginning to be divided and surrounded by its own side.
But Emilia didn't dare to cheer.
The surrounding politicians, who had never seen a war of this scale, did not dare to breathe.
Sherman's side.
The faces of the four elders in the military became extremely ugly. The old people at the round table frowned tightly, focusing on Luofeng's self-propelled planetary cannon.
In the military's virtual conference room, many generals turned pale and began to calculate the negative consequences that would occur if this battle was lost.
The empire now cannot afford to lose a large-scale war.
Internal conflicts will be infinitely detonated, and the people's trust in the official empire will be further lost. Especially, if they are defeated by Luo Feng, the suffering master, what will they face?
Justice will prevail.
The Fallen Wind Alliance will become a truly powerful enemy of the Sherman Empire and will cause a huge impact in the short term!
Increase troops!
Now, no one cares how many nobles can die.
All frontline forces are precious war resources, and the two battle groups serving as backup teams in the rear are advancing at full speed and are expected to join the battle in a galaxy's time.
The frontline fleet's tactical intention of destroying the Luofeng Alliance's self-propelled artillery can no longer be realized.
The two remaining dreadnoughts in the empire were harassed by the opponent's drone swarm. It seemed that they were trying to repeat the action of capturing the dreadnoughts. They had no time to take care of themselves.
Luofeng's remaining self-propelled planetary cannon is close to reaching the limit of minimum firing energy.
The Sherman Empire had to retreat across the board at this moment.
But the side facing down, including the planetary cannon, are pushing forward in an orderly manner.
At this moment, the chips that overwhelm the balance of victory appear again!
A large number of jump beams appeared on the left side of the battlefield.
The two battle groups of the Guel Alliance completed the jump, quickly organized their troops, and began to try to cut off the retreat of the Sherman Empire's front troops!
A situation never imagined before the Guel Alliance.
The Luofeng Alliance, with the power of thunder, defeated the super powerful fleet composed of the Sherman Empire's five battle groups head-on!
The Luofeng self-propelled planetary cannon became famous in one battle!
Luofeng's large drone swarm combat method will soon become the focus of military strategists from all over the world!
At this moment, their support force must not hesitate. Defeating the empire can bring almost unlimited benefits to their political system!
The situation of the Sherman Imperial Fleet seems to be getting worse.
In the frontline command ship.
"Labrador! Do something!"
"Please shut up, yelling won't do anything."
Labrador’s voice remained calm:
"I have submitted an application to the Empire to take over some Levi battleships."
"Can the Levi battleship jump over directly?"
"No," Labrador said, "but it will create psychological suppression for the opponent, thus giving us more room to escape. Now, all it takes is the opponent's planetary cannon to fire a second time, and we will suffer heavy losses and be defeated. Now we should use
The main thing is to ensure more effective force.”
"I understand," General Akzi said with a look of dissatisfaction, "I will give you all the authority and you will be able to command the troops out of the battle."
Labrador nodded gently and slowly closed his eyes.
He felt it.
There should be an extremely powerful command network in the Luofeng Alliance fleet.
The key at this moment is whether he can invade Luofeng's command network and reverse the entire battle!
