Chapter 67
"About half of the defending fallen colonies, and about half of them stay in their homeland..." Ian had already seen the Zeon fleet gathering in front of him. "Jion's quality is like this? There is no formation..."
More than a dozen Mussels in front were hulls horizontally, pouring firepower into the support aircraft. The green beams swept across the support aircraft in a sparse manner. However, many of the 120mm air cannon shells hit the aircraft, but they were all blocked by GN's position.
Suddenly, the navigation system began to call an alarm.
"What's wrong?" Yian looked down and checked the navigation data. "Oh... it was on the ray axis of the electromagnetic gun." The support machine suddenly raised its head 90 degrees away from the ray axis of the electromagnetic gun.
"Captain, Lieutenant Colonel Ian has left the ray axis, but there is still a Zeon fleet on the ray axis."
“What about the impact on ballistics?”
“It can be ignored.”
"Then let's open the fire."
"Understand that all the staff are facing the impact posture. There are still 5…4…3…1…1…1…around!
The two electromagnetic gun muzzles installed on the ejection deck of the Dawn Saint Sword hull flashed through a dazzling arc. The armor-piercing high-explosive bomb with a diameter of 6,000 mm rushed out of the muzzle at a speed of more than 3,000 kilometers per second after passing the acceleration track of up to 50 meters.
The warship was also severely slowed down by the huge recoil force, but it was instantly offset by the thruster that automatically compensated for the increase in thrust.
"The bullet speed is 3,000 kilometers per second... Are Lockheed's people crazy?" On the way up, Yian saw the bow of a Muse was hit by a shell, and it was instantly smashed into a pile of debris. The huge impact force made the Muse start to rotate instantly. After turning more than 270 degrees, he controlled the flying posture under the action of the attitude control nozzle.
After 2 seconds of flight, the two shells hit the colony beam cannon. Both shells hit the colony beam cannon from the side. In an instant, two pieces of the side wall of the colony were torn off, and the shells exploded in the hollow in the middle of the colony after passing through the outer wall of the colony. The explosion produced by the two shells with a charge of 4 tons of explosives gave the muzzle a brief flash.
"It's been through? No... It's because the delayed fuze detonation time has been too long. The time it takes for the shell to pass through the outer wall of the colony is even less than one ten thousandth of a second." Yian observed the shelling results with long-range telephoto. "The Dawn Saint Sword, the shells are used to hit the bombardment fuze, and the minimum delay time for delaying the fuze is too long. Uh..." Seeing the outer wall of the colony torn by the kinetic energy of the shell, Yian suddenly felt that no fuze is important.
"Correction, don't change the fuse, anyway, it mainly depends on kinetic energy to kill. That little blasting power doesn't matter."
"Understand that the shells remain in place, the electromagnetic guns start to dissipate heat, and the battery charge begins to recharge. There are still 5 minutes left before the next round."
"Captain, according to the direction of the debris flying, we discovered a federal warship 1,500 kilometers away."
"What are air alerts doing?! There is only one?" The captain of Muse stared at the Dawn Saint Sword, which was not much larger than his fingernail in the long range.
"Captain, the destruction of the Iwo Jima just now should be a super-high-speed mass weapon, right?" The captain turned his head and looked at the cannon leader.
"Well, most of the time, the radar signal exists for less than one tenth of a second. Our Muse-class radar detection range is close to 300 kilometers, which means... the speed of that shell exceeds 3,000 kilometers per second. No spacecraft can withstand such powerful weapons, even the universe fortress." The gunman's face was a little white. "And, from the front projection, it should be an enterprise-class special-equipped ship. Even if it is only equipped with the usual enterprise-class main gun, their range is more than 200 kilometers longer than the enhanced Muse-class main gun. According to the rate of fire of the federal naval gun, even if we are close at the maximum battle speed, we have to carry two rounds of volleys to enter the effective range of Muse."
"...It's still the case. If you transfer two of the snakes over, isn't the range of that thing claimed to be more than 2,000 kilometers? Send a request for help from the Central Command, and the patrol fleet cannot complete the task of driving out enemy ships."
"Captain, the command came from behind, to destroy the enemy ship at all costs. The enemy ship's shelling just now destroyed the solarrey..."
"Isn't solarrey more than 4,000 kilometers behind?? The shelling just now was not targeted at us?!" The captain was a little messy.
"The solarrey is seriously damaged, and there is another round of disintegration. The headquarters ordered all nearby combat units to intercept them, not to worry about the fighter planes just now."
"I know, I know, contact the surrounding ships. With this ship as the center, form the loose shelling formation as possible," the unknown Captain Musse took off his military cap and took out his space suit. "The battle configuration inside the ship, all members wear space suits, and the maximum speed of the hull."
In less than a minute, the bridge personnel changed into space suits.
"Captain, use missiles to attack the enemy first." The captain stood in the captain's seat.
"However, it has not reached the maximum range of the missile..." The gunnerman was a little embarrassed.
"Use inertial navigation to sail, wait until the missile's own radar discovers the enemy ship before starting the engine." The captain was a little embarrassed. "Didn't he be careful when he was bombed so miserably in the Rum Space?"
These sixteen Musse, who were performing patrol posts, formed a loose complex array and then began to fire missiles at the Dawn Sacred Sword.
"Captain Brad, the enemy fleet is approaching and has launched missiles. It is expected to contact the missile in 3 minutes and contact the enemy fleet in 5 minutes."
"Understand, prepare for air combat and artillery warfare, retreat, and do not contact the enemy fleet before the second launch."
"learn."
"Captain, the enemy MS is approaching and is expected to enter the air defense circle of our ship in 2 minutes. The enemy plane is suspected to be equipped with a large thruster, and the speed is very fast. It is suspected to be the kind of zagu mentioned by the MS team with very flexible movements."
"The main target of large-caliber air cannons is changed to enemy ms, missile launchers, and aircraft and lightning groups are deployed on the enemy's forward route."
"Learn, launching the mine missile."
The thruster in the front of the Dawn Saint Sword began to eject, and the hull slowly accelerated in the direction. At the same time, the missile launcher fired 64 medium-sized missiles, and the missile shell exploded in a certain airspace. Each missile was spread with 32 anti-MS aircraft thunders.
On the display screen in front of the deputy director of the Dawn Saint Sword, the progress bar showing the charging progress of the electromagnetic gun is slowly moving forward.
"Captain Cao of Dali Road, the enemy ship launched a missile, and it was suspected of using inertial navigation to approach us, but the radar has not yet discovered it."
"I know, the line remains unchanged. If the missile is used, Zhagu's sensor is enough to discover. With the maneuverability of this high-motorized Zhagu, the missile will not hit us." Dalilu is full of confidence in this high-motorized Zhagu regeneration P equipment. "This body is more free than the hands and feet I lost." Cao Chang, whose hands and feet were cut off when his hands and feet were healthy, thought in his heart.
"Dali Road, the missile should have arrived..."
"It's strange..." Dalilu used the sniper on the beam bazooka to search carefully with a long-distance optical sensor. "The machine-thunder group! Fee check! Orbital change, fast! The machine-thunder group!"
Four high-motorized Zagu quickly changed their tracks and tried to bypass the group of thunder.
"The range is too wide! The whole machine retreats! Go around!" Dali Road found that the spherical ray of the radius of this spherical thunder group reached an astonishing 50 kilometers, and it was impossible to avoid it in a short time.
"Captain Brad, the enemy planes are moving forward in a roundabout way and avoid the group of aircraft. The computer predicts that the contact time is expected to be extended to 6 minutes."
"Enough." Brad looked at the charging progress of the electromagnetic gun. There were still 3 minutes and 15 seconds left.
"The missile group, approaching, enters the air defense circle in 15 seconds."
“Automatically.”
Air cannons everywhere in the hull splashed out barrage and began to intercept incoming missiles.
"The port side barrage is too thin!" The remaining missiles on the right side of the hull were far fewer than the remaining missiles on the port side, and Brad looked very anxious.
"Spot defense missile launch!" The artillery chief decisively activated the missile defense system within 10 kilometers.
Dozens of short-range missiles were ejected from the missile launcher, facing anti-ship missiles that did not have anti-aircraft guns for the time being.
Seeing that the last missile in the first wave was intercepted less than 100 meters away from the hull, Brad breathed a sigh of relief.
"The second wave of missiles, approaching."
"Sam launches, a single ship cannot form a cross-fire network and cannot intercept so many missiles." Brad ordered.
"Let's understand, sam launch." The artillery chief began to assign targets. Then, the three 64-company missile launchers on the ship began to launch long-range air defense missiles at a speed of 3 rounds a second.
"Archiver, why didn't you use air defense missiles just now?"
"I forgot that there is no such thing as air defense missiles on the Magellan class. I am just a mere reserve soldier. I have only received training from the Magellan class. I only received operation training from the ship a week ago."
Seeing the cannon stewards and his hands didn't slow down, Brad knew that this was another big boss who was hiding in the city...
"Deputy Chief, prepare to bombard the ship. After the second round of electromagnetic gun fire, the hull will turn 90 degrees and retreat while shelling the enemy ship."
"Understand, 90-degree steering preparation, Ultra, can you allocate the main gun target?"
"The order of artillery has been set long ago, so I'm waiting for the order." The artillery steward replied casually.
"There is still 3…2…1…launch!"
Two blue lights flashed by the muzzle, and the shells flew out, flying towards the colonial beam cannon.
"Enemy ship, high energy reaction!" Cic's wail came from the Musey-class bridge.
"What?!"
The buzzing of radar warning flashed by.
"The shells fired by the enemy ships have just flew over!"
"It's over!"
Captain Musey called out the images sent by the Kiren guards who arrived at the solarrey guards.
A hubei-class was beaten in half by half, and the wreckage at both ends flew away in a rotation. The posture control nozzle was sprayed in vain and flames were sprayed to try to control the posture. However, the hull that was broken in two halves could not connect the front and back nozzles of the hull to control the posture.
The end of the colony was directly hit by two shells, and a full third of the circular structure at the end of the colony was torn apart.
"The gun body is overheated, and forced cooling begins." After reading the system self-test report, the gun manager stopped paying attention to the electromagnetic cannon. "The enemy fleet is about to enter the main gun range, the energy injection begins, and the fire control radar and optical aiming system lock the target. Captain?"
"The shelling begins, the left rudder is full! Anti-ship missiles are free to shoot."
The tail spout of the Dawn Saint Sword burst out with huge tail flames, and the first steering spout also operates at full power, twisting the hull.
The 8 main guns that can point to the starboard side firmly lock onto the predetermined target and are ready to be launched at any time.
"The target enters the effective range and the main gun fires."
24 beams of light flew towards 8 Mseys.
"Enemy ships fired!"
"It's too early! Avoid!" The Msey-class began to avoid maneuvers.
After a few seconds, the beam of light passed through the Msey formation. Five Mseys were hit head-on and exploded and sank on the spot.
"The main gun of that ship is not right, the range is too long and the power is too great. The range is at least 300 kilometers more than the enterprise level. It is too powerful. You can sink the Msey level with a single shot?!" Captain Msey, who escaped the disaster, had a little blue face. "Let's intercept such monsters?! The whole ship retreats! Generate power to the ms team, let them retreat, don't die, solarrey has been destroyed."
The Musey class quickly turned to evacuation. After receiving the communication from the patrol fleet, Zagu, the high-mobile manoeuvre of the Living Dead Legion, retreated unwillingly.
"It's too good to have the effect, I thought I would face the Zeon garrison fleet..." Seeing the Zeon fleet evacuated, Brad took off his helmet.
"No, Captain Brad, I really have to fight with the Zeon Garrison Fleet." The deputy commander sent the image of the long-range distance to Brad. "The Zeon Garrison Fleet is full of its own, what should we do, Captain Brad?"
"God knows!" Brad watched as the large formation of hundreds of warships gradually took shape, and his expression gradually collapsed. "Contact Lieutenant Colonel Yian and let him come back, and there are instructions for the next step. At the same time, contact Gabrou to inform him of the results and consequences. Now, evacuate in the direction of the first fleet, with the maximum speed of the ship."
Brad glanced at Zeon's large fleet again.
"Take this mess to General Raybill, it's not something that I like to solve."
"The Zeon army is coming out in full swing? I don't want it anymore?" Yian watched as he flocked out of various docks and assembled into a large formation, even the legendary Doros-class spacecraft carriers drove out three.
"Lt. Col. Yian, please return as soon as possible. What should we do next?"
"How could I know." Ian looked at the gathering of Zeon fleet and his mouth twitched. "Don't the bastard of the Zabi family know how to surrender? Contact Gabrou and let General Gup decide that if this size of fleet merges with the fleet that guards the colony, the first fleet will not be able to withstand it."
"So, you directly destroyed Zeon's decisive weapon?" General Gepu was happy and happy. "The overall situation has been decided."
"But the Zeon fleet flocked out, and it was suspected that it was going to fight the decisive battle with the Federation." General Gup's smile froze on his face.
"The fleet size is more than 200 cruiser-class ships, more than 40 battleship-class ships, three super-large aircraft carriers, and more than 60 transport ships."
Every time General Ge Pu said, his face became colder. Then he found out the scale of the cover fleet that fell from the colony. More than 150 cruisers, more than 30 warships, and more than 15 transport ships.
"Generate power to Raybier, put the interception point closer, and prepare for the decisive battle. Gabrou urgently began to process the second Archimedes system. It doesn't matter if it's smaller, send it to the universe as soon as possible." General Gup hung up the phone.
"Jion's bastard, don't you want to be local?"
Chapter completed!
