When the report came that "the enemy fleet is rapidly approaching, the entire fleet is warned", Lieutenant General Ledamant of the Grand Duchy of England's first reaction was completely confused.
On the battleship's warning light screen, the light spots representing the enemy ships kept flashing, like a group of arrows suddenly rushing toward them. However, through the portholes, only a dark sky could be seen. This
The strange scene resembled some horrific space ghost stories. The Ammans on the bridge were frightened and their mouths were dry for a moment.
"What's going on?" Lieutenant General Ledamant stood up from the commander's seat and said to himself: "Is there something wrong with the radar? Moreover, aren't the people on Earth fighting us in the West End Galaxy?
How did their ships get here?"
No one answered him, and he didn't expect to get any decent answer. After all, General Angmans was just an "academic". He spent almost all of his military career in offices and cocktail parties, and participated in the largest
The actual combat is just to fight pirates.
The reason why he was able to hold such an important position was simply because he was born into a wealthy family and had an uncle who worked as a butler for King Bedo in the empire.
He originally thought that he only needed to follow the army of the empire to the Friendship Station, and military achievements and honors would automatically appear, but he never considered what he should do when an unplanned crisis came.
At that moment, he acted very slow, not like a serious human being, but more like an ordinary warrior.
"Your Excellency, we..." The staff officer's questioning voice was also full of uneasiness, and suddenly it sounded a bit like pleading.
Really, when encountering a situation, shouldn’t it be the responsibility of you staff officers to find someone’s solution to the problem? You actually asked the commander about it?
If it were in the past, Lieutenant General Ledamang, who was born into a wealthy family, would have reprimanded him like this. But now, it is really not the time to make trouble unreasonably.
"So, this must be a mistake." He held his head high and said in a determined tone.
However, the next second, the radar officer really screamed: "At 3 o'clock, high-energy response, it's a torpedo!"
At this time, the first wave of attack aircraft group, with the New Shenzhou 1 piloted by Anne Romanova as its shoulder, entered the range of the enemy fleet's medium-range electromagnetic wave radar, and observed the opponent's panic.
"It's so lackluster!" Anne commented.
"The Amans and the Embu have always been at this level. When I served on the far coast, I had to deal with them a lot. But the Cathay people's corona is also so lax, which I didn't expect." The wingman's machine
Long road.
"Maybe it's because we just had a fight with our main force and were beaten so hard that we still haven't recovered from the beating?" Wingman B said.
"Whatever it is. New Shenzhou Battalion, Formation A, spread out and start attacking!"
"Shenzhou 3 understands."
"No. 4 understands."
"..."
"Be ready to attack on the 30th!"
Anne Romanova's ears were filled with the reports of her subordinates who were either calm, excited or even jumping for joy. The former were not many, but the latter accounted for the majority.
This is of course understandable. The New China Group she personally led was a recently formed force. Only one-third of them were military pilots with long-term service experience. The rest were mostly from the police force and the Cowboy Bebop of New China.
As well as students recruited from aviation schools. They do not lack experience in flying or even fighting, but compared with well-trained soldiers, the biggest gap is their ability to stay calm at all times.
In war, high morale is naturally a good thing, but being too excited is another matter.
However, the new recruits of the New China Squadron are lucky after all. Such a group of enemies who are completely in a state of chaos is really suitable for clearing wasteland.
"Just do what you learned during training. Three aircraft in one formation. Each formation hits and attacks one battleship. Ignore Enbu Mouse's battle cruiser for the time being, but Cathay Cat's Corona and Angmans Red
The monkey's fire sacrifice must not be let go! Before the second wave of attacks from the commander of the remaining company, no more fearless ships are allowed to exist in this galaxy!" Anne Romanova gave everyone the last message before the attack.
Order.
"Ah hahaha, don't worry, sir, there won't be a single battle patrol left."
"Yes, as long as one of them escapes, I will go back to Tianshu Planet to dig out the excavator! I will never touch a military aircraft in this life!"
The communication channels were filled with such joy and optimism.
Amid everyone's high-spirited expressions, the New Shenzhou 1 had already deployed its light wings and space bubbles in the face of the enemy's sparse anti-aircraft firepower, and flickered near its target like a ghost. The ship's hull number was K-017
The Iron Duke's Corona-class dreadnought was severely damaged in the front half of the hull by the Community's Nuwa in the previous battle. Until now, there is still a shocking mark on the outer layer of fluid metal that exudes a mirror halo.
Where is the gap?
Then, the anti-matter bomb wrapped in the space bubble was easily inserted into the shield and armor with an efficiency more than three times higher than usual. The high-heat shock wave expanded directly within the ship body, and then
The resulting explosion immediately tore half of the cabin of the dreadnought apart beyond recognition, killing all the senior officers on board and more than 10,000 crew members.
This was the first attack that this dreadnought suffered, and it was also the first attack of the "Surprise Attack on the Blood Gate" that would appear in almost all history textbooks in later generations and provide countless creative sources for various literary and artistic works.
That's one small step for the whole campaign, but one giant leap for the ship.
He immediately lost his balance, and like a headless fly, he continued to move crookedly based on his body's instinct, and then crashed into the nearest Enbu battlecruiser.
The size and mass of the latter were only a little more than half of the former, and the entire battleship suddenly became horrifyingly distorted. Explosions and fires spread out from where the two ships collided.
"What are you doing? How did the people on Earth get here? It's not scientific at all!"
On the Enbu people's Dragon Turtle battlecruiser, Lieutenant General Bega murmured to himself and stood up from the commander's seat subconsciously. He felt that his whole body was in a panic, and he wiped it with his big hands like cattail fans.
On his forehead, a large bunch of dry and broken hair was pulled out. He wanted to drink water for a while.
But in fact, the constant temperature inside the ship is kept below ten degrees, and the humidity is above seventy-five percent, which is the most suitable environment for the survival of their cold-resistant race.
"And, in the final analysis, people on earth don't know how to use troops at all! How can there be such a way of fighting? Yes, who would use small boats to attack the main fleet?"
If such a line occurs in this scene, it will appear to be full of nonsensical black humor, but at this time, no one can express an opinion on the commander's stupidity.
After all, they witnessed the tragic scene of a friendly force being attacked and a companion ship being hit at close range. It was like a person witnessing a tragic car accident at close range in which a car crashed, killed people, and exploded. Normal people would be on the spot.
Confused.
...Well, professional soldiers should indeed be used to seeing death. They are well-trained and should have seen everything.
However, the Enbu soldiers present had to say that they had never seen such a situation before.
"Commander! Your Excellency, what should we do?" Someone finally asked this question tremblingly.
But then, the three lightning strike ships passed by the Dragon Turtle like hunting golden eagles, and dropped a total of nine anti-matter bombs.
This fast battle cruiser, which was much more fragile than the Dreadnought, was penetrated by the armor before it even had time to activate its shield. Its thick body looked like a turtle with its shell knocked off, and it struggled painfully for more than 100 seconds.
After five minutes, it immediately began to disintegrate. However, thankfully, the bridge was immediately blasted through the armor of the front cabin by an anti-material bomb. Most of Enbu's senior officers, including Lieutenant General Bega, died.
due to loss of pressure.
Of course, this also means that all the Enbu armies in the Blood Gate and West Tail systems have actually lost their command level.
However, Lieutenant General Bega was thankful that he passed away very peacefully. Before he was killed by pressure loss, Lieutenant General Ledamant of the Amans was wailing in pain.
His battleship was hit by four torpedoes in a row. The huge impact made the bridge seem to be caught in an 8-magnitude earthquake. The unprofessional behavior of the Angmans commander caused a huge danger. He did not carry any safety measures, and
He was not wearing anti-Dutch clothing and actually left his command position during the battle.
Then, the commander of the Angmans fleet was thrown out by the violent vibration. He broke one leg and seven or eight bones on the spot.
The loyal orderlies and guards carried their master on a powered stretcher and rushed to the medical bay, but were blocked by burning fires and continuous second explosions on the way.
The loyal orderlies and guards immediately abandoned this burden and disappeared into the dust.
Lieutenant General Ledamant was unable to move or even call for help. He could only watch as the flames rushed to his body, igniting his hair and body.
No one knows how long he suffered in the fire. Anyway, this old-fashioned dreadnought of the Anglians lasted the longest, and it was not even completely sunk in the end. This is probably because the Anglians were serious about it.
He must have strengthened the protection of the battleship. However, he may have neglected the safety configuration of the energy system and life support system when strengthening the internal defense.
In short, this internal fire lasted for ten full hours inside the ship, burning it into a real inferno.
Of course, these are all things for later. Now, the dreadnought Blood Lion, the chief flagship of the Cathay people, has become the next hunting target of the Tiger and Leopard Riders.
But it was not until this moment that the defenders of the Blood Gate Fortress realized belatedly that they seemed to have been attacked by surprise.
...There is no way. From the first blow to the present, the coalition forces have already had two Dreadnoughts and three battle cruisers in a state of destruction, and the remaining battleships are also being focused on fire. However, the real battle has only begun in less than 90 seconds.
