Chapter 41 Killing the T2 Heavy Star Destroyer with One Shot
T2 Queen Bee class heavy aircraft carrier starship bridge
"Reporting that the first echelon of interstellar drones have returned and landed successfully. It is estimated that it will take 60 seconds to remount the ammunition."
"The combat reports of the first batch of interstellar drones have been compiled. Seven T2 Killer Bee-class medium-sized interstellar drones and one T2 Hornet-class heavy interstellar drone were lost.
Destroy two enemy T1 Bluebird-class medium-sized star cruisers, four T1 Vulture-class medium-sized interstellar frigates, and two T1 Scythe-class medium-sized star destroyers."
"Report, the enemy fleet has captured the position of our ship and is attacking our ship at full speed!"
The female crew members on the bridge were all on standby, constantly reporting the current news to the captain and deputy captain.
Vice Captain Charlotte stood next to her. She looked at Zhao Waner who was sitting on the captain's chair.
Before this battle, Zhao Chen had contacted her privately and told her to give full authority to Zhao Waner to take charge of combat command when the battle began. Unless Zhao Waner gave a wrong order, she had the right to terminate it.
If the battle gets out of hand, she has the right to take over command.
So far, Zhao Waner's orders have been very good.
As for this young girl, she was sitting on the captain's chair with a cold expression, and no trace of panic or nervousness could be seen.
He doesn't look like a student who hasn't graduated yet, but like a professional soldier who has been on the battlefield for a long time.
"Start launching the T2 Young Bee-class light interstellar drone to intercept the enemy fleet. The starship begins to move, heading in the preset direction, sailing at full speed, and the Star Shield system is activated.
The interstellar drones that have been supplied are ready for the second round of attacks." Zhao Waner issued combat orders word by word, while her eyes continued to scan the data panel.
Facing the approach of the vicious interstellar pirate fleet, the T2 Queen Bee class heavy aircraft carrier starship began to speed away, but because it was a heavy aircraft carrier starship, the fastest speed was 30 knots.
There was no way to get rid of the pursuers behind.
At the same time, holes appeared in the belly of the T2 Queen Bee class heavy aircraft carrier starship, and then T2 Young Bee class light interstellar drones were dropped.
In less than ten seconds, all three hundred T2 Young Bee-class light interstellar drones were launched.
Densely packed T2 larvae-class light interstellar drones began to rush towards the interstellar pirate fleet pursuing from behind.
At this time, the battlefield was divided into two sides, one side was the Snowstorm Zero, and the other side was the T2 Queen Bee class heavy aircraft carrier starship.
But Snowstorm Zero has no intention of supporting the T2 Queen Bee class heavy aircraft carrier starship.
Instead, it began to change its sailing direction and sail in an arc towards the right wing. In this way, Snowstorm Zero entered the fire range of the enemy ship.
Several starships of the interstellar pirate fleet were immediately ready to open fire, but the enemy ships were traveling too fast, and it would take some time to lock onto the enemy ships.
Changing the direction of travel was an order given by Zhao Chen. Otherwise, with the speed of Blizzard Zero, these interstellar pirate starships would never be able to catch up.
"Activate the T2 heavy-duty 1200mm Devil's Crocodile cannon." Captain Zhao Chen gave the order.
"Understood, the T2 heavy-duty 1200mm Devil's Crocodile cannon is being activated. It will take ten seconds...10..." The bridge crew executed the order.
The bow cannon of T2 Zero Buran was exposed at this time.
"Stop the engine of the starship on the right, turn on the engine of the starship on the left and turn on the spot. Let's aim our main gun at the T2 Ishtar-class heavy star destroyer!" Zhao Chen gave the order.
"The right starship engine is shut down, over!"
"The left starship engine is at full power, over!"
Snowstorm Zero, which was still sailing in an arc, suddenly made a 'brake turn' and turned its bow directly towards the pursuing interstellar pirate fleet.
This sudden move caught the chasing interstellar pirate fleet completely by surprise.
Zhao Chen stared at the enemy detection window where the main gun was aimed.
Just when the enemy-seeking red circle overlapped with the T2 Ishtar-class heavy star destroyer, he shouted sharply: "Fire!"
In an instant, the entire Snowstorm Zero shook.
Zhao Chen didn't bother to check the results of the cannon fire. He immediately issued an order: "Restart the right engine engine and let Blizzard Zero sail around the enemy fleet at 70 knots and adopt high-speed maneuver hunting mode!"
"Understood!" the female starship helmsman shouted confidently.
The so-called sailing around the enemy fleet, high-speed maneuver hunting mode.
It is a kind of situation where one's own starship crushes the enemy's ship at high speed, relying on the absolute advantage of the high speed to continuously circle around the enemy fleet. While circling, one or two of the own ship and the enemy fleet are separated by a small amount.
The starship is within firing range.
In this way, you can prevent your own ship from bearing the firepower of all starships in the enemy fleet at the same time, greatly reducing the risk of your own ship being hit.
This requires very high technical requirements for the helmsman of a starship. Fortunately, Blizzard Zero's speed is extremely terrifying and he has an absolute advantage!
Snowstorm Zero sailed at high speed again, and the whole process took less than ten seconds, which is enough to show the terrifying maneuverability of this starship!
At this time, Zhao Chen had time to check the results of the shot just now.
He was a little surprised.
And some people are terrified right now.
I saw that the entire T2 Ishtar-class heavy star destroyer had disappeared, and the entire bow was a large explosion crater, as if it had been decapitated.
The surrounding interstellar pirate starships witnessed the whole process with their own eyes.
The starship they were originally chasing suddenly turned around, followed by a main gun attack.
Unexpectedly, one of the only two T2 Ishtar-class heavy star destroyers in their fleet was directly shot into the soul!
You know, this is a heavy star destroyer.
Heavy means that the hull is larger, the weapons equipped with stronger firepower, and the hull armor is thicker.
Just like this, a T2 Ishtar-class heavy-duty star-class destroyer was actually shot into the soul by the enemy.
"That's...that's a 1200-caliber cannon!" Suddenly, the captain of a starship in the interstellar pirate fleet exclaimed in the internal shared communication channel.
Other pirate captains used deep space telescopes to check the situation.
They suddenly saw the target of the ship they were chasing, the Zero Blizzard, with a huge cannon of terrifying caliber at its bow!
It was this giant cannon that destroyed the T2 Ishtar-class heavy-duty star-class destroyer with just one shot.
"How can a...T2 starship install such a large-caliber cannon? What kind of monster starship is this!" The captain of a T1 Scythe-class medium-sized star destroyer felt a chill on his back.
Even the T2 Ishtar-class heavy star destroyer, which is one level higher, cannot resist this cannon. The T1 Sickle-class medium star destroyer, which is one level lower than it, is still a medium star destroyer.
If this were to resist a single shot, one can imagine what the result would be.
"One shot in five minutes, let me count how many ships there are. One ship...two ships...three ships..." Zhao Chen smiled grimly as if he was counting beans, counting the enemy's starships.
