"It's passed, two hundred kilometers!" Luo Qi stared at the battlefield and shouted at the top of his voice, "Nanzhou orders the anti-aircraft guns to fire freely!"
He Lu immediately rolled his eyes: "Please, if you don't tell us, we also saw it..."
Before he finished speaking, the friendly ship ahead suddenly burst into countless rays of light. Those beams of light were like peacocks spreading their tails, sweeping towards the incoming insect swarm at extremely high speeds.
Light defense cannon!
These three words popped into everyone's mind at the same time.
"Awesome!" exclaimed a bridge officer.
Ye Han said: "Zoom the camera closer, yes, give me a close-up of the insect swarm!"
The camera zoomed in quickly, and soon the swarm of insects rushing towards the Nanzhou fleet were brought into view. They saw beams of light stabbing into the swarm of insects accurately, and often several beams of light hit an insect machine at the same time, killing the insect machine.
They were killed one by one.
At a glance, the dense beams of light on the screen were like a forest and rain. The beams swept across and killed and injured countless insect drones at the front. It was impossible to count how many they killed.
It is very simple to tell whether a bug machine is alive or dead. The one that keeps emitting a thin light is definitely alive and does not make any movement at all. The one that keeps drifting with the current is definitely dead or injured.
The dead and wounded insect drones stopped accelerating, and those behind them that were still accelerating soon caught up and overtook their dead companions.
Just as another round of laser sweeps passed by, the forest of light beams were like a lawn mower driving over the grass, quickly cutting away another wave of life.
It may be that the insect swarm is aware of the danger, or it may be that the aliens find that the uncontrolled death charge consumes too much. The insect machine behind suddenly stops accelerating, and even hides behind the corpse of its companion, relying on the cover of the corpse to continue flying.
Xiang Nanzhou fleet group.
The power of the light-proof cannon is limited. It is the limit if it can penetrate one insect machine. It is impossible to penetrate two insect machines stacked on top of each other. And the corpses in front of the insect swarm are either two or three layers. The light-proof cannon
The number of deaths plummeted.
The initiative seemed to have returned to the aliens, but the Nanzhou fleet had no intention of giving the enemy a chance. The insect corpses blocking the front suddenly moved away collectively without warning, and they all moved away piece by piece.
Every insect corpse is tilted in exactly the same direction!
He Lu immediately set out and exclaimed: "Gunshot, it is definitely a super shotgun!"
He is not baselessly guessing. The reason why he said this is because the deviation of the insect corpse is not large, and the speed is fast and slow - the former is because the steel ball is too small, and the latter is because the steel ball hits the insect corpse.
The quantity is different.
The reaction speed of the insect drones is extremely fast. As soon as there is a problem with the corpse in front, they will immediately move away and always hide behind the corpse of their companion.
Although the insect drones were exposed for a short time, some of them were still killed by the laser jungle and turned into new shields in front.
Everyone felt a little depressed when they saw this scene. Why are these bugs so difficult to deal with?
Luo Qi looked at the screen and couldn't help but mutter: "It looks like that!" The insect corpse was in front, and the insect machine was hiding behind, one after another, one next to the other, like worms.
The chain made of machines looks quite neat.
At this moment, the chains on the flanks of the insect swarm suddenly broke collectively. The out-of-control insect machines staggered around as if they were drunk, and some even spun crazily like windmills in the strong wind. The originally neat team instantly became a mess.
"I'll go, handsome!" Luo Qi gave his most heartfelt praise.
"Camera, zoom out!" Ye Han shouted excitedly, and the camera immediately zoomed out according to his wishes. It happened that the insect swarm was on one side of the screen and the Nanzhou fleet was on the other side.
Not long ago, the Nanzhou fleet group was still together, but now it is different. Only the Nanzhou, Yuzhou and a bunch of destroyers were left in the group. The small and fast frigates all flew away from the formation.
The changes in the Nanzhou fleet made many people feel strange, because the previous formation was indeed a good tactic.
As we all know, the front of a battleship has the thickest armor and the strongest firepower, the sides are slightly less armored, and the rear is simply the weak spot.
With all the battleships back to back, the vulnerable tail and sides can be covered by friendly forces. In this way, the battleships can use all their firepower on the front.
To put it more vividly, the formation of the Nanzhou Fleet can be called the hedgehog and turtle formation, which is very practical for dealing with insect swarms.
The insect swarm rushing towards such a group of warships is equivalent to actively hitting the muzzle of the gun, and the losses are not ordinary.
If not for this, the insect swarm would not have resorted to the method of removing corpses.
But things are different now. All the frigates have left the turtle formation and are flying away in an extremely awkward manner.
It feels awkward because their bows are not pointed straight ahead, but their hulls are laid sideways, exposing their relatively fragile sides to the swarm of insects.
Due to the effects of speed and inertia, this flying method is very common in small-scale confrontations between warships. However, in large-scale confrontations, especially when there are enemy ships in front, it is a very dangerous action. If you are not careful, you may be caught.
The enemy penetrated the broadside.
But whether it's dangerous or not is one thing; whether it's worth the risk is another.
The only reason why these frigates turn their hulls sideways is for combat needs!
It seems unreasonable to say this. Exposing one's own weaknesses in front of the enemy can still be called a combat necessity? Isn't this just seeking death?
In fact, it is really not seeking death. First of all, the insect swarm holds the insect corpses in front, and there are very few insect machines that can fire. Unless the insect swarm would rather suffer losses than fight to the death with human warships.
Another point is that after the battleships came across, each ship no longer shot at the insect swarms in front of them, but instead worked together to cover each other and use cross fire to fire at the insect swarms in other directions.
In this way, the super shotgun does not hit the corpses on the front of the insect swarm, but directly hits the insect aircraft on the flanks of the insect swarm.
This is the reason why the flanks of the insect swarm suddenly lost control!
The benefits of this are not limited to this. Anyone who knows a little bit about war knows that machine guns are arranged on both sides of the position, and no one places the machine gun in the middle of the position.
This is because the charging skirmisher line is thin and long, and the hit rate of frontal fire is very low. However, when viewed from the side, the skirmisher line is much thicker, and the hit rate will also increase accordingly.
This tactic has a proper military term: crossfire!
The frigate's oblique fire has the same effect as crossfire, both targeting the enemy's most painful areas.
Although you can only see the laser sweeping over the insect swarm over and over on the screen, in fact the insect swarm is suffering a double blow from the laser and super shotgun, causing heavy losses to each insect swarm.
However, the loss of these insect drones is nothing to the aliens. Even if the first wave of insect drones is wiped out, there will be a second and third wave behind. Even if all the insect drones are killed, there will still be nearly a hundred aliens behind.
The situation facing the battleships and Nanzhou Fleet Group is definitely not as safe as it seems.
