Chapter 58 Artillery Battle Between Heaven and Earth
The crimson beam cannon crossed the shackles of the atmosphere in the blink of an eye, roaring towards the Cathay fleet approaching at normal cruising speed in the distance. The dazzling light seemed to paint their bridges.
Layer of blood light.
"High-energy response ahead! High-energy response ahead!" The Cathay language, which resembled the roar of a large carnivore, circulated on the bridge.
Colonel Moxu was a little confused. He really didn't expect that the weak Earthlings would open fire. Fortunately, as a member of the Kaitai Royal Fleet, the sailors on the ship were trained very hard and had practiced this situation many times.
. Before the colonel gave the order, the sailors had already started making standard evasive and defensive preparations.
"Deploy forward shields! Each ship moves on the 1st!" the colonel shouted loudly.
The age of the universe has developed to this era, and fleet tactics naturally have a set of complete standard procedures. Whether it is marching, hiding, bombarding or evasion, it is all included. The so-called No. 1, of course, refers to the No. 1 standard.
Avoidance action. To put it bluntly, the middle one goes up and the two sides go left and right.
The sailors completed the instructions with practiced operations. The destroyer, which was more than 300 meters long, suddenly performed evasive maneuvers in the outer space that only a 20-meter fighter aircraft could do in the atmosphere. The front of the oval-shaped ship's bow was almost transparent.
The light blue light curtain instantly unfolded, forming a semicircular light mask.
"Whoops!" The red laser almost brushed the light curtain on the ship. The entanglement and neutralization of the energy directly turned into a shock wave, which made the entire ship tremble.
If all the big cats on the ship hadn't been prepared for impact, they might not even be able to stand still at this time.
"Shield dropped by 17%!" the ship's defense officer announced loudly.
Fortunately, it was just a scratch! The colonel took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Where are the other two ships?"
"Hellcat 48's shield dropped by 58%. Hellcat 17... Meow, the shield was neutralized and the armor was slightly burned!"
"Two trash!" the colonel murmured in a low voice. Isn't this equivalent to being hit? Our Seacat type with enhanced speed and maneuverability was actually hit by the fortress artillery. It was like a cat being hit by dirt.
The rat bites!
"Are we going to fight back?" the gunnery officer asked.
"Prepare the proton cannon!" The colonel thought for a while, but in the end he did not use the neutron bomb, which is miraculous for orbital bombing. If this thing were dropped on the ground, it would be a humanitarian disaster and an environmental disaster. The Cathay people have always been concerned about the following
This planet that is as beautiful as topaz is coveted, but the kingdom is very poor, and the limited funds have been used to expand the army, but I really don't want to spend any more money on environmental restoration.
In comparison, proton energy bombs wrapped in energy are very clean. When hit on the ground, they will form a wrapped arc circle, which can not only kill the enemy but also paralyze the enemy's equipment, and will not pollute the environment. Although the energy bomb passes through the atmosphere a little
It will affect its power, but it should be enough.
"The proton cannon starts charging and starts locking the enemy's heat source!"
"Where are the other two ships?"
"Just keep them on standby!"
Colonel Moxu felt that the firepower of one ship was enough to suppress the opponent. Besides, after all, the kingdom had not yet had the consciousness to start a full-scale war with the people on earth, so this time it was just a side ball.
The colonel even vaguely knew that this operation was just the discretion of the squadron headquarters and had not been approved by the base camp at all.
However, since everything has been done, it must be me, and it can only be me! I, Sasa Moxu, will be the hero who fired the first shot! My name will go down in history!
"Get ready..." The colonel was just about to say that he would fire after recharging without waiting for his order, but he heard another warning sound: "The high-energy reaction ahead! The high-energy reaction ahead is happening again!"
"Continue to evade!" Mo Xu didn't feel that he needed to give any special instructions, he just had to follow the standard evasive action. After all, he was only facing three or five fortress cannons, not the overwhelming barrage during a large fleet battle.
The Hellcat 12 destroyer he was in began to climb again, letting the rolling energy beams pass through the shield shield on his bow. The entanglement of blue and red bloomed again, blooming with firelight of energy.
Hellcat 12 was still trembling. The colonel even felt the burning sensation on his beard. It should be that the ship's armor had begun to withstand the damage of the high temperature.
After a few more shots, he would have to change his external armor when he got back! The colonel felt extremely sad at this time.
Although Kaitai is an ally (xiao) and ally (di) of the empire, and can even obtain the production authorization for the latest warships from the boss, he must still be a castrated monkey version.
For example, the Sea Cat under his feet is said to be modified from the Empire's Apocalypse Eagle class, and it also has enhanced firepower, speed and maneuverability, but this is just a fool's errand. They use the photon array main gun on the Apocalypse Eagle.
No, they don't have the Tianhuo 4 polymerized missile either. As for the memory metal armor that is resistant to high temperatures, radiation, and has self-healing capabilities, they certainly don't have it either.
The base camp originally thought it was just an armed intimidation, but it turned into an artillery battle and caused important ship damage. According to the harsh Cathay military law, even if Mo Xu completed the strategic goal of "occupying Tulon Port", he still
He must be punished. In the best case scenario, he must also bear the full cost of the battleship's maintenance.
It was all in vain! All these years of hard work were in vain! At this moment, the colonel's sadness turned into grief and indignation.
"Fire! Blow up their central tower for me!"
It is the tallest building in Tulon Port. It is an all-metal tower-shaped building with a height of more than 300 meters. It is responsible for signal relay, dispatching of ships entering and leaving the port, and command of the city's defense system, which naturally also includes the defense system.
Shield and fortress cannon.
For the space battleship that has entered low-Earth orbit, there is no more perfect target to attack. As for the civilian facilities and civilians on the central tower... Oh, what a tragedy, but this is life!
"Prepare...not good!"
The intelligence officer screamed loudly. He had clearly calculated the gap between the opponent's fortress artillery bombardments, but he did not expect that in this gap, energy reactions would occur on the planet below.
This time, what came out of the atmosphere was not a red blaster beam, but a blue ion bomb. And there were ten of them at once!
"Start evading!" the colonel yelled.
In fact, the crew had already started to do this before his order was issued. But as the ship drew a beautiful trajectory, there was a hint of scream in the intelligence officer's voice: "No! The enemy ion cannon is about to hit.
!”
"They calculated our evasion direction!" The colonel was suddenly startled and could only yell: "Prepare for impact!"
This time, there was no competition between red and blue, but blue clashed together and turned into white light, illuminating the Cathay soldiers on the bridge and almost unable to open their eyes.
"Idiot! Which idiot closed the light-shielding armor?" the colonel was furious.
Didn't you say that the blinds should be turned off so that the view from the bridge would be better? Someone murmured in their mind.
However, the colonel could only feel helpless and furious. He felt that the floor under his feet was overturning, and he had to do his best to maintain his balance. If the impact just now was like being in a bumpy sea ship, now it is
Located at the center of the earthquake.
He heard a crew member say to him: "We've lost our shields!"
What he didn't know was that under Eleanor's command, the ion cannon on the ground was not aimed directly at his ship, but took into account all his possible evasion directions. The salvo of nine cannons actually
Three of them exploded close to the ship, which directly triggered the stress response of its shield, immediately creating an effect similar to a near-missile explosion.
Of course, the power of the ground-to-air dual-purpose siege cannon cannot be compared with the serious anti-air fortress cannon, but the close range hits of three ion bullets are enough for the destroyer's shield generator to enter an overload state.
"Energy unit! Cool down the generator immediately! Hurry! Damage control team, be on standby immediately!"
It must be admitted that Colonel Moxu's response was quite timely and efficient. But it still could not change that for more than ten seconds, the Hellcat 12 he was in was in a state of losing its shield.
At this time, another ion cannon shot broke free from the constraints of the atmosphere and gravity, passed through the turbulent flow of energy dissipation, and bit the corner of the destroyer's lower abdomen like a deadly poisonous snake.
"Boom!" The most fragile belly armor of the entire ship suffered a heavy blow. The energy cannonball almost melted the belly of the ship to create a dent, and then it exploded. Then, a second later, an even more violent explosion hit the hull.
There was a sound inside.
The Kaitai captain was really caught off guard this time. He was thrown out by the violent vibration and fell directly from the command platform. He was a little confused. On the one hand, he was hit, and on the other hand, he naturally felt that everything happened today
They are all full of evil spirits.
After all, this is a standard space battleship. Although it is just a primary school student with no sense of presence in the navy of a big country... But after all, it is also a behemoth with a length of 340 meters and a mass of more than 30,000 tons!
Even if the armor on the abdomen is relatively fragile, it shouldn't react so badly, right?
"Colonel, the enemy's shelling hit the torpedo tube in the abdomen..."
Colonel Moxu shivered and felt that the hair on his body was turning over in fear, but then he was a little confused: this ship has 12 electromagnetic torpedoes installed in its belly, and any one of them is enough to explode. Kill everyone on the ship.
But aren't they still alive and well?
The deputy captain connected to the communication below. After listening for a few seconds, his expression suddenly became extremely strange and he murmured: "Well, there was an anti-aircraft gunner in the lower level of the ship who was frightened. He didn't even wait for the gun door to open. The trigger was pulled... Captain, please rest assured, the damage control team has already gone to deal with it!"
This Cathay colonel, who is usually known for his strictness and fierceness, couldn't even get angry this time. He just felt that all his strength had been drained away. He sighed tiredly: "Repair it immediately, we..."
"Captain, the other party has sent a communication! Do you want to get through it?"
"...take it, let's take it over."
The figure of that hateful woman jumped out of the image again.
"Do you still want to fight?" the other party said with a smile.
"I, we still have an absolute advantage!"
"Yes, you can even destroy all our heavy artillery that can counterattack in one minute! However, your noble officer only needs to understand that there are still 3,000 Community soldiers here in Tulong, as long as you and your ship land on the ground. Every day and night, every day Every second is our attack time! We will never give in and will persist until our reinforcements arrive! Unless you use neutron bombs to conduct orbital bombing now to wipe out us all. So, tell me, can you do it? ?Colonel?”
The Cathay colonel's beard trembled uncontrollably.
