It's hard to say whether Eleanor's choice was right or wrong, but the ion beam blasted by the other party was only a few dozen meters away from the Corsica this time. In the universe, this can be understood as a close distance.
The arrow shot.
The high-heat energy indeed triggered the Corsica's shield reaction. The ion beam and the shield formed a very intense energy entanglement, flashing with an uncertain light.
"Disperse the formation! Each ship will evade independently!" Eleanor's voice began to echo on all the battleships.
"Raise the flag of honor and death! There is no need to hide the identity of our flagship!" She then ordered the people inside the ship.
The communications officer could only say "Understood!" and began to operate.
The so-called "flag raising", of course, cannot be a literal flag raised in the universe, but a special challenge signal, expressing to one's own people and the enemy's determination to fight to the death without giving up.
All the warships began to disperse, expanding the formation into a huge space with a radius of 200,000 kilometers, but they still continued to move forward. This was also the original tactical formation of the community fleet, but it was a more advanced one.
Regarding tactics, it was still a bit difficult for the Thirteenth Fleet, which was mostly new recruits. This time, their tactical movements seemed a bit stiff and slow.
However, the Corsica, as the flagship, suddenly accelerated and turned into the protrusion of the entire fleet.
On the battlefield of the space battle between the bow of the ship and the enemy, this is completely ridicule to the extreme.
This is indeed the case. The wide-area cosmic broadcast from the Corsica is still playing the demonic song of the ship in a loop.
As long as the enemy ship on the opposite side is in a normal state of mind, it should be shaking with anger and crying right now. Therefore, regardless of psychological needs or tactical significance, it will definitely be the first to focus fire on the Corsica.
As a result, in a short period of time, thousands of cannons fired from the opposite side, and more and more firepower was projected towards them.
At that moment, Yu Lian felt as if he was in a strong wind of energy, and the Corsica, which was also considered a giant ship, seemed to have turned into a fragile willow leaf in the strong wind.
Eleanor stands tall and tall on the bridge, majestic and inviolable, riding the wind and waves, as if she is an unstoppable Valkyrie, capable of defeating thousands of armies.
However, she should miss Miss Anne Romanova a little at this time, right? However, that girl is now serving as the helmsman on the real flagship Twist. After all, in this cosmic era of giant ships and cannons, the aircraft carrier wants to find a suitable
Positioning fighter planes is also a technical job and requires excellent pilots.
As for the current captain of the Corsica, Lieutenant Colonel Lapon, he is not a driving type but a management type captain. The main helmsman, Lieutenant Newport, is a meticulous veteran ship pilot who was also transferred from the cantilever fleet. His skills are very stable.
, is also meticulous in doing things, but lacks the imagination and intuition to make a stroke of genius.
Yu Lian felt his body and made sure that the bones inserted into the organs had returned to their places. The terrible sores on the internal organs had basically healed, and the broken bones had returned to their places, but they had not yet grown back.
Overall, although I am still a wounded person, I do not have to go to the line of fire anymore.
He used telekinesis to open the medical cabin from the outside and jumped out wetly.
"Sir...sir, please give me the right to drive!" Yu Lianda said.
Eleanor did not answer, but looked at Captain Lapon. This old seaman who had been a merchant ship captain and had also survived a supernova storm only pondered for a moment, and then nodded directly.
Lieutenant Newport didn't say anything. After all, it would be unrealistic for such a large battleship to be completely controlled by one person, and he was not the type who could stand up to the "Moon Man" and the "Elite Bureaucracy Group".
Yu Lian walked to an operating position and inserted his hands into the steering wheels beneath his gloves, letting each finger feel the touch in detail. He closed his eyes, adjusted his mental state, and let his perceptions spread.
Drive away.
He is not a "navigator" and cannot truly unite the ship and crew, but he understands that many psychic skills that are theoretically used in frontal combat can be used in fleet battles once they are magically modified.
.
This time, Yu Lian chose to use "reaction prediction" here.
To put it more intuitively, since a psyker can predict the angle from which the enemy will draw his sword and what psionic skill to use at that second, then why can't he predict when and in what direction his battleship will be hit?
Woolen cloth?
However, it sounds easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to operate. This requires your perception range to be able to wrap around the ship, which requires your mental power to be sensitive enough, and you also need to have super spatial recognition and perception capabilities.
To be honest, in this regard, no one is as professional as the navigators who "explore" the star ring. However, the psykers who "explore" the star ring really lack the ability to fight head-on and can unlock the possibility of "reaction prediction"
It's really too small.
Fortunately, although Yu Lian has never driven "Exploration" in his two lives, he was a "cruise" that belongs to the yin and yang of "Exploration" in his previous life, so he has gained a lot of experience in this convenience.
He almost closed his eyes, didn't look at the instruments or the radar, and didn't observe it with the naked eye. He suddenly dived with the entire ship, directly passing another ion beam from the opponent.
At this moment, the beam passed by the Corsica at a distance of 15 meters, triggering an energy reaction again.
"The shield dropped to 62%!" The technical officer's voice was trembling. He didn't know whether he was frightened by the power of the opponent's main gun and the accuracy of the gunnery, or he was shocked by the dangerous dodge just now.
If Yu Lian had not performed the operation just now, the Corsica might have been shattered by one blow.
Lieutenant Colonel Lapon and Lieutenant Newport couldn't help but look at the expressionless Yu Lian with eyes appraising the visual wonders. The latter even felt the coolness of falling snowflakes.
"Keep moving forward! The main cannon starts to power up!" Eleanor glanced at Yu Lian, who had a calm face, and continued to convey the order in a solemn voice: "Instruct Luoyang, the space shock bomb is ready to launch!"
All the space concussion bombs on the Corsica had hit the head of the dead ten-thousand-headed monster, but the Luoyang still managed enough.
At this time, the 72 wind missiles launched by the entire fleet had penetrated deep into the asteroid belt and exploded, forming a series of light belts that seemed to illuminate half of the space.
"Unable to confirm hit!"
"The enemy ship bombardment has stopped!"
Even if it was impossible to confirm the hit, the explosion of this series of wind missiles had a considerable impact on the firing range of the imperial warship.
"Speed up! Switch to the third charging speed..."
Without saying a word, Captain Lapon started the operation directly. The tail flame behind the Corsica had turned into a gorgeous light track, pushing the entire ship out of the queue quickly.
"Destroyer fleet, prepare the second round of wind missiles! They can be launched when necessary. Bu Yong is waiting for my order!" Eleanor was giving instructions again.
At this time, a gap suddenly appeared in the light strip created by the missile on the opposite side, and then, a rail artillery shell was seen piercing through it, as if an arrow had penetrated the shield.
The imperial warship actually only started to shoot again after only half a minute of adjustment.
Moreover, the hit rate was indeed not low, and it once again hit the Corsica with close-range effects.
Fortunately, this time Yulian flashed faster and the shells were further away, and still did not cause any casualties. However, the shield power had dropped to 37%.
"...Tsk, are all the rail guns of the Empire this powerful?" Eleanor gritted her teeth.
"This should be the main gun of the battle cruiser class!" Yu Lian said casually: "I guess the empire may have used all the energy centers and transmission systems on that new ship. This means that they can use it on a smaller
More powerful main guns are installed on the ships. On large ships, there are naturally more and denser main guns!"
"...Is this your inference? Or is it a prediction?" Akinayama Hachiman said.
"...Of course it's an inference! Don't you see that I'm well-founded and logical?"
That seemed to be the case, but Akinayama Hachiman always felt that something was wrong.
"Main guns No. 1 and No. 2 are loaded!"
"The positron cannon is charged to 65%! It can be fired at any time!"
"Luoyang reported that the space shock bomb has been prepared!"
"Very well, kids, just keep this pace! Soon, we will be able to kick the butts of those imperial gentlemen!" Eleanor let out a hearty laugh.
These words were very pleasant, and the soldiers in the ship burst into laughter. With the current level of the officers and soldiers of the Thirteenth Fleet, such words can resonate with them. What should I say to them, "The people are waiting for our victory?"
If we take the path of "the community is big but has no way out", it probably won't have such good results.
In short, the calmness of the command team and the graceful figure of the Corsica that seemed to be dancing on the edge of a knife have made the panic of the crew gradually melt away like ice and snow.
Feifei pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Yu Lian who was concentrating on operating the steering wheel, she felt that serious men were indeed the most handsome.
She was still operating the filming equipment, faithfully recording everything in front of her, just like those top war reporters who were the bravest and calmest and would never go to the line of fire under any circumstances.
The crew members on the bridge may know that everything they do today will be recorded by this beautiful reporter, and they will become part of the "hero team" in future news reports. Each one of them feels that the blood is burning in their hearts.
Gradually, I held my head high and my chest high. The movements I had mastered during training were now executed more perfectly.
Yu Lian didn't care so much. The shelling from the opposite side was becoming more and more frequent, and even he had to focus all his attention on driving.
However, even with his extraordinary performance, the performance of the opposing imperial warship and the level of the gunners were not fake, and he still caused a considerable blow to the fleet.
The first time the Corsica was hit occurred at 19:27. A rail artillery shell finally penetrated her side, directly pulling open the armor belt on the side, and two anti-aircraft turrets were cut off.
Immediately there were 4 war dead.
This was also the first casualty on both sides of this battle.
Immediately afterwards, dense missiles were launched from the opposite side, covering the entire fleet in this web of fire.
All the battleships tried their best to deploy the air defense network, but two Fletcher-class battleships were still injured. Fortunately, the damage was not serious and they still did not lose their combat effectiveness.
In any case, the Corsica continued to move forward. As the mt of the entire fleet, she truly attracted most of the opponent's firepower and opened the way forward for all the wing ships.
Let yourself and your flagship serve as the vanguard. This must be the consistent tactical style of Eleanor, a crazy sister who rides the wind and waves.
Just when the fleet's loss report reached Eleanor's ears, her fleet finally brought the opponent within the range of its main guns.
"Ina! Fire!"
Before Eleanor could give the command loudly, Ina Silica, who was already impatient, had already pulled the trigger of the main gun.
