Not only the Corsica where everyone was on, but also the Luoyang not far behind them, also finally brought the location of the enemy ship within their range.
In the light curtain in front of all the main gunners, the enemy ship on the opposite side was finally covered by the red spectrum. Their eyes were also smeared red by the red halo, as if they were filled with bloodthirsty evil spirit.
This is 19:45 pm on the same day.
Ina was the first to pull the trigger, throwing two orbital cannon shells towards the distant edge of the starry sky. She felt that even if there was no direct hit, it would still be able to produce a close-range effect. She had such confidence.
“Hit the enemy ship’s shield! Energy entanglement occurred!”
Sure enough, the reconnaissance technical sergeant sent positive feedback!
At this time, the shells fired by the Luoyang had also hit the target, but this time the effect was a little outrageous. One shot flew to an unknown place, and the other hit an ice crystal next to the Imperial battleship.
Asteroid.
This giant ice block floating in the universe was immediately torn into several pieces and drifted in all directions.
Of course, this is the real artillery hit rate, and no one is disappointed.
At this time, the destroyers also began to attack. Including the two that had already received a lot of damage before, all the destroyers began to take off, spread out a fan-shaped formation directly above the Corsica, and launched another
Since the dense ice crystal asteroids still affected the attack range of the missiles, they were still unable to move forward, and only huge explosions of light continued to rise around the ship.
The crushed ice crystal asteroids quickly merged, adding a trace of blazing and fierce light.
If it were within the atmosphere, such an attack would be enough to destroy the surface ecology of a planet. However, if it could not hit it directly, its high-heat shock wave and radiation would not have a big impact on the Clear Sky-class battleship.
The destroyer's missile bombardment was originally just a fire cover for the two cruisers.
At this moment, the imperial battleship on the opposite side suddenly reversed and dived deeper into the asteroid belt. While retreating, she flashed a red light, sending a two-long and five-short signal to the Community fleet.
In the current naval regulations of all galactic countries, this is an obvious provocation.
This is a choice that is beyond the common sense understanding of most people.
You must know that with the current distance between the two sides, they have almost entered the range of hand-to-hand combat.
As for the Qingkong-class battleship, in terms of length and size alone, it is the largest ranger light cruiser on our side... more than three times that of an armed merchant ship. It can indeed be regarded as a giant ship. Why would such a behemoth choose a narrow one?
What about the combat area?
Isn't this equivalent to driving a Galen ship full of artillery and flying a kite without relying on long-range firepower, but having to get into a waterway with dense reefs and fight against the densely packed arson boats and sand boats?
help.
There is indeed a conspiracy!
Everyone in the bridge exchanged glances, Eleanor waved her hand, and a frontal three-dimensional map of the universe unfolded in front of her. The asteroids intertwined next to each other, the frontal airspace, the passage between ice crystals, and the retreating enemy
The ship, as well as the approaching own warships, are all clearly displayed on this star map.
Since just now, the fleet's information center and navigators have begun to conduct astronomical analysis, and now have roughly simulated a three-dimensional model of this asteroid airspace that may be engaged.
However, this is for reference only.
No, when Yu Lian first entered this star field, he originally thought it was an empty area, but he actually hit an unknown meteorite head-on.
“Shield…down to thirty-one percent.”
What the hell, this power is as powerful as the main gun of an ordinary cruiser! The senior cursed in her heart, but said: "Yuli, it's not your problem, don't slow down! Let the damage control teams of each ship be prepared.
!All fleet air defense groups, start obstacle eviction!"
The universe seems so quiet and mysterious, but it is very fickle inside, and various strange changes often occur. Especially in ISA82, a galaxy with twin brown dwarfs, the astronomical parameters are even more complicated.
The performance of existing cosmic observation instruments and computers is limited, and it is impossible to immediately identify the cosmic domain so finely that every asteroid or space floating object can be completely identified.
This requires an excellent technical investigation team and an excellent navigator. In addition, if the navigator is a master-level psyker who "explores" the star ring and masters such magical skills as "sky awareness", it will
The probability is that the holographic star map of the warring area will be completed in the shortest possible time, and you will naturally have the upper hand when the war begins.
Yu Lian was not too sure whether there was such a person on the Clear Sky-class ship opposite. However, if he was the Marquis of Odegaard opposite, even if he knew that it was possible to dance face-to-face with one or two asteroids,
I will definitely choose this way.
I even sang the song! If you don’t think about using that new weapon to wipe us all out, it wouldn’t be like you! Yu Lian thought.
Eleanor waved her hand, and all the ships plunged into the asteroid belt.
In any case, such a combat environment is powerful for their small fleet.
The two sides began to engage in a continuous artillery battle. However, if just now it was a heavily armed soldier hiding in a bunker with a rifle to block the enemy who only had a short gun in his hand, now it has become a chaotic battle inside the house. No one can do anything.
Everyone has advantages in range and gunnery, and they also have bunkers. Although everyone can protect themselves through ice crystal asteroids, they always have to worry about whether their ship will be hit by cracked and shattered ice, or whether
Collided with the larger asteroid body.
Such a completely chaotic battle, it was not even Eleanor's turn to take command personally, it was completely left to the respective captains.
She has been paying attention to the holographic star map in front of her. Of course, as the equipment on the battleship continues to operate, surrounding astronomical data is also flowing into the information terminal, and the star map is becoming more and more detailed. Many are blurry and unclear.
The clear places also became clear, condensing into icons of asteroids and various floating objects.
“… Yuri, if the other party really launches that kind of experimental weapon, where will they choose?” Eleanor murmured to herself.
"It should be here." Akinayama Hachiman took over the words and directly stretched out his hand to point out a dense area of asteroids on the star map: "If it passes through this cosmic point, it will really cause a fatal blow to us. Not only will we not be able to fight back,
, I can’t even escape.”
Eleanor nodded, feeling that this possibility was very high, but she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Akinayama Hachiman, thinking that this girl was calling Yuri, why are you joining in the fun with your little glasses?
There is no way, someone is now focusing almost all his energy on the operation of the ship, and he really can't hear the sounds around him.
In the process, both the Corsica and the Luoyang were hit continuously. Fortunately, in such a chaotic battle, the majestic main guns on the heavy cruiser could no longer function, and they kept using their broadsides.
Although the secondary gun and missile attacks on the side did cause damage to the Earth battleship, it was not fatal in the end.
The largest casualties came from a previous close encounter.
One of our own destroyers charged too fiercely. At that moment, the captain showed off his god-level abilities. With a move that was almost like an obstacle course race, he shook off the siege of asteroids and got close to the imperial warship on the opposite side.
At such a close range, all the proton torpedoes in the ship were thrown out in an instant.
This was a pretty perfect attack action, but it was also a too desperate attack action. The destroyer was immediately concentrated by all the secondary guns on the side of the Imperial battleship.
A turbo laser unit fired thousands of energy beams within ten seconds, more than half of which hit the Centurion 927 destroyer.
Fortunately, the turbolaser group belongs to the category of close-range defense artillery after all. Centurion 927 did not explode completely until five minutes after it was set on fire. Before that, the captain ordered all personnel to abandon the ship. In the end, the ship was
Of the more than two hundred crew members, nearly two-thirds were transferred to the remaining friendly ships, including the captain himself.
The captain of Centurion 927 is a veteran captain in his early fifties. He has changed ships three times before, so he does not have the aristocratic knight style that went down with the ship.
In any case, the first sunk battleship of the Thirteenth Fleet was born.
However, everyone on the Corsica had no time to be sad. After all, in a military sense, the sacrifice of Centurion 927 was very worthwhile.
Half of the eight torpedoes launched at close range hit the target. Even with the shield and armor of the Clear Sky-class battleship, it was impossible to remain calm. There was a huge laceration and a penetrating wound on one side of the ship.
A blur of air flow appeared for the second time, and then there was a second explosion. Everyone on the Corsica could already see the fire on the other side's hull with their naked eyes.
“Beautiful! Who is the captain of the Centurion? I want to apply for a medal for him!” Eleanor nodded with a smile.
However, after all, it is the latest battleship of the empire, and its damage control design is also top-notch. In just half a minute, the flames on the hull were completely extinguished. The battleship itself did not seem to be greatly affected.
If we follow common sense, as this battle becomes increasingly less technical, everyone should just give up and withdraw from the battlefield.
However, neither side seems to have such a tacit understanding, and both seem to be prepared to fight to the end, preferring to die together.
Unknowingly, time has come to an end.
Then, just as Eleanor and Hachiman speculated, the Qingkong-class battleship made a jaw-dropping turn in front of the enemy, and then suddenly accelerated, relying on its hard hull and super-strong energy shield.
, knocked open a large ice block about the same size as herself, and then directly penetrated into a large asteroid belt as dense as a city wall.
The Community fleet was also shocked by the opponent's action and stopped shooting for a moment. Both their main and secondary guns had lost their range of fire at this time.
Yu Lian couldn't help but be in awe of the helmsman of the opposite empire. He was carrying such a large ship and performing such an almost drifting action. Based on this alone, he was qualified to compete for the championship of the Galaxy Racing Competition.
At this time, the investigator's voice sounded again: "After the asteroid belt, a high-energy... no, unknown reaction occurred! Start analysis!"
Yu Lian knew without guessing that the so-called "unknown reaction" must be the "space bubble reaction".
“Coming!” he said to Elinor.
Senior sister nodded expressionlessly: "Luoyang, prepare to take over our position! Prepare space shock bombs."
