"The fighter squadron has formed its formation and is rushing to the predetermined airspace at full speed." Liuli said.
"Let them prepare to deploy their stealth stance and activate detection silence." Yu Lian ordered: "Chief of Arms, drop six jammer mines each on H11, J12, and L8 space points!"
Dana's "get it" voice came from the bridge.
"Lilia, open the side gun doors and load the missiles!"
Lilia, the first gunnery officer on the second floor of the bridge, responded loudly.
As for the second gunnery commander, Motta, the ship's top tonnage officer, had silently turned on the main gun sight.
"Okay, the whole ship starts to speed up!"
When the eighteen oval-shaped mines rolled out of the weapons depot and streaked into space, the Red Tiger began to accelerate again. When her sublight engine roared again, the Blue King started right there.
The diffused orange-red light waves roared out. The blue hull was sprinkled with brilliant light, and for a moment it really looked like a horse-riding king who was leading the way, the first to step across the line of fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The main guns of the Blue King also began to fire in unison. The ion cannonballs condensed with clear cold light roared across the void.
The timing of their firing was so precise that they seemed to have already predicted the Red Tiger's trajectory. The three shells almost came in the opposite direction.
"Prepare for impact!" Yu Lian shouted loudly: "Bai Ziya, the damage control team is on standby!"
In fact, the power of this ion cannon has also been adjusted. Even if it really hits, not to mention the armor and shield of the warship, even if it hits the unmanned mining ship, it will only leave a black scar at most. Of course,
The director's department will also turn off some skills on the ship based on computer judgment. At that time, Bai Ziya's damage control team will have to take action.
"The railgun is charged and the shells are ready!" The person who reminded the bridge was not Chief of Arms Dana Jefferson, but Deputy Chief of Arms Tamir.
"I understand, wait for my order!"
"It seems it's not my turn yet..." Gongsun Qing's voice came from Yu Lian's headset. As a charge leader, she was already a little bored.
Yes, if you were two more rings higher, I would tie you to the deck and strike a sword at the blue ship named Te Zhong Er. I might just kill him with my sword energy.
This is no joke, the "Sword Dancer" of the Sixth Ring of Shura really has this ability.
Yu Lian pretended not to hear and added loudly: "Annie, it's up to you!"
"Got it!" Miss Anne Romanova straightened the helmet she had put on at some point, inserted her hands into the driving sensors, and shouted.
The thousand-meter-long hull was rippling and swaying like catkins in a strong wind, and it actually let two cannonballs pass by on the spot.
However, even so, a shell still hit the outside of the ship, triggering a shield response.
"The director's department determined that our shield function was reduced by 67%, the B17 cabin was damaged, three turbolaser units were destroyed, and three crew members were killed!"
Those unlucky ones who "died in battle" could only be locked in a temporarily closed cabin until the exercise was over.
Bai Ziya's damage control team was dispatched. Although the young master of the Bai family looked thin and lacked courage, he was actually the most capable one on the ship. He once performed in front of everyone within three minutes.
The miraculous skill of dismantling an exoskeleton into a bunch of accessories that a girl can carry away, and then putting it back together intact.
He is the best choice to lead the damage control team.
But even so, Yulian's red side did suffer casualties first.
It can't be Kent, Wayne even hired experts!
"The opponent's gunner will not be Mr. Kent." Lilia said: "I have fought against him before, and there is no such accuracy."
Yes, the artillery commander is different from the gunner himself.
"Mr. Wayne hired an excellent main gunner." Liuli whispered.
"...A Lian, continuing the long-distance artillery battle is not good for us!" Zhixia suggested to Yu Lian in a lowered voice.
Do you want me to join a gang? You idealistic... ah no, girls with strong martial arts are too radical!
"your armor"
Yu Lian was silent for a moment, looking at the swaggering blue battleship on the screen, he could feel the obvious pride from tens of thousands of kilometers away, as if he saw a man holding a crossbow and twerking in front of him, singing and dancing.
Wayne...
Then, he laughed: "Okay, brother Horatio! You will even play tricks on me!"
"Lian Jun, he is older than you." Liuli said.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the auditorium on the Azul Princess became even more lively. At this moment, they were like the Roman nobles in the Colosseum, watching a gladiator fighting for life and death. Now,
After several rounds of sword fighting and testing, blood finally came.
They were almost twisted with excitement.
Not to mention them, even the officers and soldiers on the three escorting destroyers were speechless for a moment when they saw the fight between the students on the opposite side. The arrogance of the seniors and the sense of superiority towards these rookies were at this moment.
It can't be sustained any longer.
"Here, if we are the ones who end up, can we deal with them?"
"We are professional soldiers, they are just rookies who have not yet graduated! We have actual combat experience!"
"...We don't have much practical experience either!"
Yes, these three destroyers and the crew on board are all mobilized from the Solar System Fleet, commonly known as the Home Fleet.
We have introduced the maneuverability of this fleet before. The ships are in good condition, the personnel are well-organized, and the funds are sufficient. If it were during the war years, this organization could be regarded as a strategic maneuver force directly under the central government.
However, in such a peaceful era, they who were stationed in the prosperous Central Star Territory could never gain any reliable practical experience, and suddenly they started to look like road specimens.
"Probably only Major Oishi's people on the Feixue... can handle it, right?" Someone said so authentically.
"Yes, if it is Major Oishi, he must be able to show off to these proud young men and the rookies opposite!"
The so-called "Flying Snow" refers to the Flying Snow 42, the only one among the three destroyers that has had direct combat experience. Major Oishi is its captain. He is an elite captain transferred from the East Cantilever Fleet. He is already old.
He is no longer young, but he has participated in several actual battles, and once led a single destroyer to kill an old pirate cruiser that had been modified.
After being transferred to the Home Fleet, Major Oishi quickly stood out and became the number one destroyer in the fleet. The crew members under his command were also drilled to perfection. In several large-scale exercises with the outer ring fleet,
, and his hard fighting indeed saved some face for the local fleet.
Many people know that Major Oishi's next stop will be to become the captain of a new heavy cruiser. Of course, for this old sailor with no academic qualifications, no background, only ability and record, this is probably his last stop.
Already.
At this moment, on the bridge of the Feixue, Major Oishi, who has turned fifty years old, made this comment: "The blue team's main gunner and gunnery commander are much better than ours! If
Just wish they were our crew members! Next time we have exercises with the outer fleet, we can choose the tactical advantage!"
"They are either men from the moon or the proud sons of other military academies. I am afraid that within a few years after graduation, you and I will have to salute them." Captain Du Wen, the first mate, said with a smile.
Major Oishi laughed dumbly, and then said: "Then, it would be great if I could fight with them!"
"Captains from both sides?"
"Yes, the captains of both sides! They are only in their early twenties, right? They are so good that it is unreasonable, so good that it makes people jealous! I really hope they can fight! Of course, it is not such a ridiculous, monkey show-like performance
...It’s such a pity for such an outstanding young captain. I can only imagine their helplessness and frustration at this time!”
Captain Du Wen pondered for a moment and sighed: "...There will be such an opportunity. It will definitely happen."
The two looked at each other and stopped talking. Silence spread on the bridge, because at this moment, the Red Tiger also launched three rounds of fierce bombardment from a very long distance.
The torrent of energy crossed the sky and drew a bright light track in the dark sky.
They did not directly hit the evading Blue King, but forced the opponent's hull to move closer to a certain extent. At this time, they were finally hit by a rail cannon shell and an energy beam that hit the shield.
The outside of the blue ship also emitted violent tremors caused by strong light. This was a reaction to the shield losing power in a short period of time and the armor being hit.
This is the artillery tactic of space warfare that is most suitable for ordinary people! Yu Lian praised loudly: "Lilia, you are the one who drank the soup this time! Well done!"
"I have read Marshal Kent's gunnery works more than ten times." Lilia said with a smile.
"And that one, the last bombardment was very beautiful! I'll give you the credit!"
My name is Mota! The fattest guy on the ship, and the second gunner who has no lines until now is about to burst into tears, but despite the captain’s praise, he is still happy.
"Where did you find such talents?" Yu Lian asked casually.
"Isn't this what Lian Jun said? Don't stick to the military academy and look for talents in the wider society." Liuli pursed her lips and smiled.
The captain praised me for being a talent! Fatty Mota continued to praise himself, wiped his sweat vigorously, licked the corners of his mouth, and focused all his attention on the sight again.
He knew that although he also hit the opponent, there was still a certain amount of luck involved and it would not be so easy next time.
Moreover, the damage to one's own ship's hull was more serious than that of the opponent's ship.
I'm going to win again! Motta said to himself.
The Azul Princess has shown up to cheers.
This is equivalent to the two warring parties leaving bloody wounds on each other. If it was really in the Colosseum of ancient Rome, it means that the gladiatorial fight has entered the white-hot stage, and naturally it has also entered the most exciting stage.
However, even on such an occasion, Duke Feisu, a veteran, still commented calmly: "The blue team made a perfect bombardment! Prediction, firing timing, and even accuracy were all done.
When it comes to perfection, even the best gunners in the empire can only do so much. The red team’s response was also very decisive and perfect! It is obvious that they have always been full of vigor, courage, and a well-trained team!"
He paused, and with a hint of envy, he praised half-routinely and half-seriously: "An excellent team must have an excellent leader. The two young captains have a bright future and will surely become world-renowned generals."
!”
...must be a serious problem for the empire! The Duke swallowed what he said later.
At this time, Duke Feishu felt a little tired inexplicably. Every time he felt that the people on earth were going to completely become part of the empire, there were always an endless stream of young heroes being born. If this continues, when will it be?
"Blue Star has gained a man! How enviable! Congratulations, Mr. President." Alliance trade representative, Claire Belmont, expressed congratulations to the president.
President Noxham felt that his heart was about to get hot, and he almost burst into laughter. He even decided to call the captains of both sides over, pour them wine in person, and give them awards in person.
"The young man named Yu Lian that you are particularly optimistic about seems to be a bit conservative." Mrs. Melia smiled at the Chairman.
"It seems so. Hey, I only know military skills on paper. Any top student in the military academy is qualified to laugh at me." The chairman smiled and said: "I can't criticize others casually."
At this time, Feifei, who was standing in the center of the stage, saw that Yu Lian's red ship was at a disadvantage, but she did not show any worry or other tendencies. She continued to introduce to everyone loudly: "Just now, the blue side's bombardment has been completed."
It worked, the red team’s hull was damaged! If the red team didn’t have any counterattack plan, this shelling is likely to determine the outcome!”
Some of the younger audience members began to applaud and cheer. They still didn’t understand what they were seeing, but even in the movie, the collision, tearing, smashing and roaring of steel and flames, isn’t it enough to get people’s blood pumping?
What's more, in order to make the VIPs enjoy the view, the sensors around the hull are actually packed with a bunch of electromagnetic packets and pyrotechnic tubes, which can really simulate the effect of an explosion.
"That little girl is pretty good. Remember, she is also a graduate of the National Defense University, right?" President Noxham asked the secretary next to him.
"Miss Fina Li? She is also the former student union president of the National Defense University!"
"Well, not bad, not bad. If she still chooses to join the army after graduation, she can be placed in the military propaganda department." Mr. President thinks that this is a good use of talents. It would be a waste of resources for such a beautiful girl to go to the front line.
Thinking of this, he seriously considered the future of the two young captains.
Well, the Venn on the blue side is indeed well-deserved, and he is also the son of the Venn family, so let him go to the General Staff or the local fleet. It is a position of actual combat commander, and it is not so dangerous.
The remaining company of the red side seems to be a little behind in terms of command, but it is still very good, and he is also the first warrior in the battle of the West End Star Territory, and he is also a psyker. He can be allowed to join the Blue Guard, and he can also be a part of the Blue Guard.
I work part-time in the Attendant's Office of the Presidential Palace.
Who wouldn’t want to be promoted straight up without having to go to the front lines to fight and kill?
Mr. President feels that his personnel arrangements are simply perfect, and this must be the starting point for him to gradually control the military.
But at this time, on the training ground, the situation suddenly changed.
The blue ship, which always had the upper hand in the bombardment battle, was about to approach and fire one or two rounds of main gun salvos. But at this time, the mines that had already been thrown into the void reacted with the energy, like tarsal bones.
It was wrapped around like maggots, and it immediately became a ball of dazzling arcs of electricity.
After the lightning was entangled, the Blue King's sublight engine actually shut down.
How terrifying and deadly would this be on a real battlefield?
One can imagine how much struggle the crew members on the blue ship are struggling with.
At this moment, the Red Tiger slid in an almost perfect arc in the universe, and finally aimed its frontal main gun at the Blue King.
"Fire!" Yu Lian shouted loudly.
The torrent of antiprotons penetrated the cosmic space between them and rushed towards the blue hull in the distance.
However, at this moment, the blue ship surrounded by arcs actually opened all the gun doors and tilted out a large number of energy bombs in all directions.
The interference arc, shield, energy field, and the magnetic field that entangled them all successfully caused the kinetic energy shells to pour.
The kinetic energy shells were like sharp knives, directly cutting off part of the hull, just like shaving off the enemy's flesh and blood. However, that was just that. You know, the sharp knives were originally aimed at the opponent's vital points.
.
"Admiral Lucknar's tactics back then!" Zhixia reminded.
"Well, I know that it is possible for magnetic interference bombs to deflect kinetic energy projectiles when entangled, but it's just a bit of a gamble."
Because of this, this method of warfare is rarely used by regular armies nowadays, and pirates are much more skilled at it.
"They know that our main gun uses kinetic energy weapons!" Zhixia said again.
"It's normal. All I want is to let them know!" Yu Lian sneered and ordered the red tiger to continue approaching the enemy's flank.
At this time, the Blue King's sublight engine finally started, and it only seemed to pause for less than a minute.
The crew members carefully selected by Wayne, even without the SRs that Yu Lian invited based on the memories of later generations, are still very good.
The Blue Monarch, which had just regained its power, did not immediately avoid the battle, but pounced directly on it. It was a life-for-life style of play. This was equivalent to a duel between two cowboys, firing and firing.
If you approach the other party, of course, everyone may be fatally injured.
At this time, the effect of any interference may be decisive.
In an instant, Yu Lian suddenly felt the impact of the ship's hull, which was the feeling of being hit.
"Nine o'clock direction! The enemy aircraft group is approaching! It's the blue team's carrier-based aircraft."
Needless to say, it should be the carrier-based aircraft formation led by Miss Martha Daken of the blue team.
"Captain, that guy actually thought of getting together with you!" Zhixia said with emotion.
"Yeah... what a tacit understanding!" Yu Lian was also a little bit dumbfounded.
Because almost at the same moment, Li Baolu's air force also launched an attack directly behind the Blue King.
