Before the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Matt Horner gave an order, "Super-matter electromagnetic gun! Fire!!"
Buzz~~~~!! Even in the bridge, strong vibrations can be felt. The 40m-caliber giant super-matter electromagnetic gun equipped in the front of the 50 Cole-class battlecruisers opened fire instantly, and 50 extremely bright rays of light were shot out instantly!
However, what was waiting was waves of light blue energy light curtains, and all 50 huge solid projectiles were blocked. After this burst of firepower, what came into view was a total of 60 uniform flat dagger-shaped warships!
Jaeger-class battlecruiser!
At this moment, the shields of 8 battleships in the Jaeger-class array have been destroyed, and they are methodically adjusting their formations to evade backwards. At the same time, the hangar platforms above all the Jaeger-class warships are fully deployed, and black fighter jets are flying over overwhelmingly!
"The attack didn't work!" The tactical analyst on the side turned back and said, "The Republic fleet adjusted its coordinates and escaped from hyperspace 0.03 seconds earlier! This allowed them to avoid the air mine array we set up for pre-explosion and deploy their shields!
"
"Jedi Knight." Matt Horner's expression was a little gloomy. He had heard countless legends of Jedi Knights from Tang Xiao, and today would be the first time he truly faced a Jedi Knight.
He did not hesitate, waved his hand and said: "The fighter jets take off! Prepare to engage the enemy! All ships open fire with all their strength!"
All the battleships of the Fourth Civilization's A fleet were fully fired. The 4 heavy laser cannons in front of the 50 Cole-class battlecruisers and the two heavy particle beam cannons in the front of the 10 Higra-class battlecruisers all opened fire. Hundreds of bright beams were fired.
It instantly illuminated the Republic fleet.
At the same time, the Galactic Republic fleet also began to fight back. The main guns of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser placed on both sides of the bridge fired thick blue blaster beams.
The empty space was suddenly filled with countless death-filled beams. As the first batch of 2,000 V-19 Riptide light fighter jets launched by the Republic accelerated towards them, the battlefield suddenly became extremely fierce.
The Fourth Civilization took off the first batch of 1,500 Vulture robot fighters. These fighters fought under the protection of the battleship's anti-aircraft guns. They would never go overboard and fight Republic fighters alone.
At this moment, the 100 guard-class air defense ships hidden in the formation of the Fourth Civilization Fleet began to show off their power. The 8 point defense laser cannons equipped on the air defense ships continued to fire. Under the targeting of the powerful fire control system, countless lasers hit accurately.
Republic fighter.
The strangulation of thousands of fighter jets is cruel, but this is just the beginning!
Almost within 5 minutes of the air battle, more than 300 fighter jets from both sides were shot down!
Under the deployment of Matt Horner, all Fourth Civilization warships remained motionless, maintaining a posture of facing the enemy in the front, and leaving all sides to be covered by their own fighter jets and guard-class air defense ships next to them.
Lasers and blaster beams continued to fall on the battleships of both sides. One Cole-class battlecruiser had to retreat because its shield was seriously damaged, followed by the second, third, and fourth ships. A total of 9 ships.
The shields of the Cole-class battlecruiser and 2 Hiigara-class battlecruisers were breached.
During this artillery battle, only four of the Republic's Chasseur-class battlecruisers had their shields penetrated.
"Analyze the combat data of both sides." Matt Horner said.
"After the analysis, the shield strength of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is 47% higher than ours. Our Cole-class main gun and four X-ray laser cannons need to be continuously irradiated, but the Jaeger-class battlecruiser can evenly distribute the damage caused by laser irradiation.
Go to the shield. In combat, the Hiigaran-class particle beam cannon performs better." The technical supervisor on the side immediately replied.
"Gauss Fire Platform! Fire!" Matt Horner gave an order. The 180 Gauss Fire Platforms deployed on the periphery of Bespin's planet broke away from their stealth state. Two 500mm caliber heavy cannons had already been loaded and were aimed at the direction of the Republic fleet.
Spewing out long tongues of fire.
At the same time, the 16-unit pulse rocket launcher equipped on the Gauss Firepower Platform also fired out pulse rockets like raindrops!
Suddenly suffering an unexpected blow, the Galactic Republic fleet seemed to fall into a brief chaos, but it immediately reorganized its formation and took off the second batch of fighter jets.
1,000 V-19 Torrent light fighters covered the takeoff of 200 BTL-B-Y wing bombers, preparing to start clearing those Gauss fire platforms at fixed points.
At this time, the Republic fighter group attacking the Fourth Civilization Fleet began to retreat, and the Jaeger-class battlecruiser took off again with the third batch of fighters, 1,000 V-19 Torrent light fighters and 1,000 Z-95 Headhunter fighters!
Reducing the number of full-time air superiority V-19s and sending out Z-95 multi-purpose fighters indicates the Republic Fleet Commander's next plan. He is preparing to directly attack the battleships of the Fourth Civilization.
Seizing this brief gap, the Cole-class battlecruiser of Fleet A of the Fourth Civilization started charging the super-matter electromagnetic gun again.
A Gauss firepower platform began to adjust its direction under the action of the steering engine, aiming at a Jaeger-class battlecruiser ahead. Two 500mm caliber heavy cannons were loaded and fired in one shot!
Two high-explosive artillery shells were fired instantly and hit the Chasseur-class shield. The warhead of the shells immediately reacted violently. The explosive gas burned rapidly and exploded to form a plasma mass. The shield was instantly burned by millions of degrees of high temperature.
, but was quickly offset by the shield.
Three V-19 Riptide fighter jets launched an assault on this firepower platform. They dived and fired lasers at the same time, making the shield of the firepower platform ripple. Two point defense laser cannons installed on the top and bottom of the firepower platform also
Fire as hard as you can to attack the incoming fighter jets.
At this time, a Y-wing bomber flew quickly from behind. In the cockpit, the Republic pilot was wearing a full-coverage helmet. His expression could not be seen, but he moved calmly and steadily. He opened the safety cover on the control stick and pressed the launch button.
.
A small proton torpedo was launched instantly and accurately hit the Gauss fire platform!
A light blue proton cloud spread instantly, followed by a violent explosion. The Gaussian firepower platform, which took a day to build, was immediately blown into countless pieces.
Before the fire of the explosion here was extinguished by the vacuum, the countless dazzling beams of light that lit up in the distance immediately eclipsed the explosion.
Super material electromagnetic gun, second salvo!
This salvo resulted in even more tragic results than before. The shield of a Jaeger-class battlecruiser was destroyed, and before it had time to withdraw from the battle, it was directly penetrated by a 50m caliber shell!
The entire hangar at the front of the battleship was torn into pieces by this cannonball carrying terrifying kinetic energy, leaving only the rear part of the battleship that was constantly on fire, burning, exploding, and tilting... Under this terrifying blow, all that could be seen was
Less than 10 rescue capsules have been launched, which means that except for these 7,400 crew members on the entire battleship, all others have perished in the vacuum of the universe.
Not only that, there were two other Jaeger-class battlecruisers that were also penetrated by artillery shells. However, due to location issues, they were only shot in from above and out from below. Although they lost their combat capabilities, at least the entire battleship was not damaged.
be destroyed.
The Fourth Civilization Fleet also paid the price. In the process of lowering the shield to recharge the super-matter electromagnetic gun, the two warships were also hit by the concentrated fire of the Republic warships. They were severely damaged and completely lost their ability to move. They became steel coffins.
.
Immediately afterwards, the third batch of fighter jets from the Republic arrived, and the fierce air battle began again!
