The ships that entered the Luna system through the jump this time were a total of six pirate ships of various types, all of which were modified from small freighters. The armament and armor were only at the average level among pirate ships, but they didn’t know where they were obtained.
The latest technology has greatly enhanced speed and concealment.
This is also the standard configuration used by the Moda Black Flag Army to "deliver goods" to rebels everywhere. They can always use the Far Shore Nebula as a cover to quietly infiltrate into a remote planet in the sector.
After completing the transaction, start the jump engine before the warships from the far shore fleet arrive, and flee into the chaotic nebula.
Even the most advanced starry sky radar cannot continuously detect every corner of a galaxy 24 hours a day, which naturally leaves a lot of loopholes for these lawless ships to exploit.
On the other hand, for the navy, if it ventures deep into the Far Shore Nebula, those unstable gravity wells alone can be regarded as a death trap.
The mass carried by a gravitational jump is limited, so some galaxies can become transportation nodes, and some can become remote areas. What's even more frightening is that if the gravity well suddenly collapses halfway through the jump, all the ships in it will be destroyed.
Disintegrate into nothing in an instant.
The main task of the far-shore defense fleet is still to guard the traffic arteries of Earl Star Gap and the Lucknar Corridor, and to guard against the Bakvi Republic on the opposite side and the imperial forces behind it. The enemy on the opposite side is very fierce, and the friendly forces have limited strength.
, every ship, and every soldier is extremely valuable.
There are just pirates and smugglers on the left and right. Of course you can get a fight if you bump into them occasionally, but there is no need to risk your life.
As a result, the soldiers of the far shore defense fleet were just like the officers and soldiers in ancient times who were fully armed with helmets and armor. Even if they rushed to the crime scene, they could only helplessly watch the bandits who were familiar with the terrain and lightly attired scurry around.
Entering the mountains, they could only look at the mountains and sigh, with nothing to do. Finally, they retreated and went home to find their respective mothers.
If things go on like this, various pirates and smugglers based in the Far Coast Nebula, including the Moda Black Flag Army, will even have to form some kind of tacit understanding with the Far Coast Defense Fleet.
Because of this, the pirate leader who led the team this time still thought it would be a simple "delivery" mission before arriving in the Luna system. Some pirates even clamored to sneak to New Seville to find it this time.
Fun.
The first minute they entered the Luna Galaxy, they didn't find anything unusual in the vast starry sky.
This group of unwary pirates headed straight for their destination, the planet Lumina.
However, when the pirates could even see the green planet through the portholes with their naked eyes, they finally discovered the Community fleet waiting in orbit outside the planet.
Fortunately, the pirates should have discovered the opponent before the navy did. After all, the Thirteenth Fleet is a newly established unit. The ship is very new, and most of the crew are also very new. It is indeed still in the process of getting used to it. Finally, it has not yet ushered in.
A burst of bombardment and saturation of missiles and torpedoes were interspersed.
Pirates who took the initiative to fight with the navy did not exist in any era. The pirate leader gave the order to retreat on the spot.
However, it was already too late by this time. Before that, they had been locked by the carrier-based aircraft group.
Brigadier General Makarov had all three squadrons of fighter jets on Wudu No. 14 take off early, switched to ambush cruise mode, and started to be on alert along the orbit of Lumina.
The fighter planes had already seen the approaching pirate ship, and immediately roared and pounced on it like a pack of wolves that had discovered prey.
The fledgling Second Lieutenant Li Baolu and Second Lieutenant Martha Daken finally ushered in their long-awaited first actual combat.
"Although I'm just a pirate, I have to be careful. Good luck." Li Baolu, flying a ghost fighter plane numbered rx78 and painted in blue and white, sent his last blessings before the war to his girlfriend.
It was indeed the first time for Li Baolu to participate in actual combat, so he was still a little nervous.
"This is not my first time fighting! Take care of yourself, little rookie." The blond girl responded proudly. She was flying a fighter plane numbered MS04 painted in red.
"...Besides, you are not in actual combat! Have you forgotten about Navy Day in the summer?" Martha Daken said again.
The future "Forward Eagle" and his girlfriend, who is no less powerful than himself, are only newcomers who have just served, and it is impossible to take control of the front-line air combat command right away.
The current chief pilot aboard Twist 14 is Major Rost Asenberon, one of the former ace pilots of the Outer Rim Fleet.
Although he had been mocking himself as "the nanny sent by Father Paris to his little lover", at this time, he showed great decisiveness and judgment and directly ordered a bombing of the enemy fleet and concentrated fire on the opponent.
engine.
"Don't pursue sinking enemy ships!" He said: "As carrier-based aircraft pilots, our primary goal is not to give everyone a Lance Medal, but to create opportunities for the fleet to completely annihilate the enemy."
His judgment is indeed correct. With the firepower of these three squadrons of fighter jets, it is indeed possible to sink one or two pirate ships in the first round if the attack is concentrated. However, it is entirely possible that the remaining enemy ships will be defeated.
Escaped.
Now, unexpectedly, the fighter planes suddenly started a fight to disperse the attack. Instead, the pirates were at a loss as to what to do and fell into chaos.
Ginger is indeed still spicy.
Major Yasenbrun's command sounds simple, but only those grassroots elite officers who have experienced a lot of actual combat can give the most accurate response and judgment in the shortest time and at the most critical moment.
Of course, as "rookies" Li Baolu and Martha Deken immediately gave Eisenbren a big surprise. The movements of these two people were so beautiful, flying the fighter plane like a petrel and passing by the pirate ship
Those sparse anti-aircraft fire accurately hit the vital points of the enemy ship.
Their driving movements are so steady that they can be used in textbooks. Their final attacks are also very accurate. Even among ace pilots, they are the ones with the best shooting skills.
Actual combat and training are different. Eisenbrun has seen too many people who were famous in their school days, but when they really went to the battlefield, they completely stretched their hips. However, the performance of these two young people today has proven that they are at least
It is possible to become a trump card.
"...After all, she is my father's little wife! What if she is not pretty?" The major smiled and said, "Then, I can't lose to these young people!"
What happened next was...the morale of the pilots was soaring, the pilots were killing everyone, and the pilots were completely amazing.
Before the battleships of the Thirteenth Fleet arrived, the battle had already entered its final stage. The pirate fleet completely lost its ability to resist, and immediately announced its surrender before the assault ship arrived and was ready to join the gang.
At this time, two of their ships had been completely destroyed, and four of them had lost power. As for the pirates' own results, they only damaged a fighter plane and shot down a drone.
The first battle since the establishment of the Thirteenth Fleet was a triumph.
So, when Yu Lian and a group of friends boarded the Corsica, they also received the battle results sent from the fleet flagship Fog City 14.
"The captured pirates said they were just here to transport goods, and they would accept some things from the Rumina rebels and hand them over to their employers." Eleanor went straight to the point without greeting Yu Lian.
"employer?"
"The employer is Moda, the leader of the Black Flag Army. These middle-level pirates have never met him. According to their original plan, after they get the things, they will quickly return to the Far Coast Nebula and meet their employer in the ISA782 system.
You’ll understand then.”
Yu Lian nodded and loudly ordered: "Lieutenant Qiu Mingshan, star map!"
Look at him acting so naturally, as if he is the leader on this ship.
Fortunately, the real boss on the ship was a good sister with noble interests. He didn't mind Yu Lian's overstepping. He nodded and added: "Bring up all the information on the far shore star areas collected in the military database, mainly all the information that can be
Confirmed data on the jump channel... But, Captain Yu Lian, aren’t you going to lie down in the petri dish?”
I just made a casual comment, am I going to be thrown into a petri dish? I don’t remember the senior sister being such a stingy persona!
"If it hadn't been for Fina, well, if it hadn't been for Lieutenant Li's reminder, I wouldn't have known you were injured like this."
Only then did Yu Lian realize that he had just had a battle with Master Wanda and had been seriously injured. Two of his ribs were broken. However, he had been using cell activity to suppress the wound, so there was no danger to his life.
Coupled with the effect of the source of life, the superficial wounds have been restored. Outsiders can't see any problems at all.
As for the pain... as I said before, to an old ranger who has traversed the universe, this is really just a "skin injury".
Feifei could tell at a glance that Yu Lian was injured, but her medical armor only had some common medicines, which meant little to Yu Lian at the time.
Of course, you can lie down in the medical cabin for a while. You have to fully believe in modern medicine! After all, the lungs have been punctured, and they can be repaired with a little genetic culture fluid.
So Yu Lian let everyone scramble to stuff him into the medical cabin. Of course, at his reminder, Feifei opened an opening in the medical cabin just enough to expose his head.
"This is the legendary human pig!" Akinayama Hachiman admired Yu Lian's head emerging from the medical cabin with interest and expressionless expression. He secretly took a photo, then opened the holographic image and pulled the
Opened a whole map of the bat star: "This is all the information currently known in the far coast star area. As you can see, the positions of the stars are complete, but the channel information is very confusing, and it can basically be regarded as unnavigable.
.”
At least a large fleet is absolutely impossible. In fact, all military barriers in the galaxy have this concept.
Akinayama Hachiman pointed to a star on the edge of the star map: "This is the SA782 galaxy, 6.42 light-years away from the Luna Galaxy... From a physical sense, it is indeed next door to the Luna Galaxy."
"In other words, there is a gravity well between the Luna System and the Luna System?" Eleanor asked.
"It does exist, but it is very unstable because it is a binary galaxy composed of two brown dwarfs. Two years ago, our country's scientific research ship searched for the gravity well signal. After a month of investigation, it was determined that this transition channel is four to six years old.
It only opens once every hour, and the total mass of each jump ranges from 500,000 to 1.1 million tons. This should be the escape route of the pirates."
"But... the employer mentioned by the Black Flag Army should have already received the news. There is no reason to still be waiting for us there at this time!"
As soon as Akinayama Hachiman said this, he was interrupted by Yu Lian's laughter.
"It's already this time, who cares about common sense!"
