Chapter 1599: Blocking (an update to celebrate Fathers Day)
Chapter 1529: Blocking (an update to celebrate Father’s Day)
The Alliance military's intention was to fight, which put them in a certain passive position at the beginning of the battle.
When the distance between the two sides narrowed to about 800,000 kilometers, the Imperial Colonel decisively issued an order.
"The 1st, 23rd and 12th attack ship teams, attack!"
Three teams of nine attack ships instantly ejected from the starships and pounced on the opponent fiercely.
For ordinary small ships, it is not very efficient to attack at such a distance. The battle will not take long before they have to return home to replenish their ships.
But for an attack ship with a holding talisman, this doesn't matter.
The Alliance soldiers on the opposite side noticed this and couldn't help but snorted, "It's really a waste to have a warship with a talisman!"
They already know this tactic, but there's no way... they can't learn it.
"I wonder if only digital phantoms use this tactic, or if other infiltrators also configure it this way?"
"Don't think so much, let's fight!" the commander snorted coldly, "Don't expose our small ship yet."
Although they were only responsible for fighting, they carried a lot of small ships, including six in two armed merchant ships.
What the chief officer means is that we are still at a very long distance and our small ships are not in a hurry to dispatch.
Only when the empire's small ships were about 400,000 kilometers away were six attack ships ejected.
The main purpose is to show weakness to the enemy.
Battalion-level ships even try to actively connect to each other's communications.
After the request was rejected, he also specially signaled and threatened the other party very "ferociously", "Don't look for trouble!"
However, the imperial warship did not accept this trick at all. After reaching the shooting range, it opened fire directly.
This is really a bit unreasonable. Fortunately, the Alliance just wants to confuse the enemy and cannot be adequately prepared.
Seeing the opponent kill them directly, they released six more attack ships.
Then they threw off their armor, revealing the Union military livery, and played a signal urging surrender.
However, what counterattacked them was an overwhelming attack.
In just an instant, the alliance military confirmed the opponent's identity, "It is indeed a digital phantom, and the digital battleship has activated protection!"
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Just looking at the positioning and attack accuracy of the opposing warships, they can be sure that this is definitely with the help of artificial intelligence.
However, the cost of making this judgment was that the alliance lost four or five small ships in an instant, and three were severely damaged.
Seeing this, the other small ships had no choice but to change their tactics. When launching the attack, they kept moving randomly.
The commander of the alliance also made a decision at the right time, "This is not possible, quickly release all attack ships and launch a full-scale attack!"
Now that the disguise has been removed and the identity of the military has been revealed, there is no need to hide it anymore.
If you continue to show weakness to the enemy, you will not only pay a heavy price, but may even not be able to complete the fight mission.
As the distance between the two sides narrowed, the imperial warship once again released three attack ship squadrons.
A total of eighteen attack ships participated in the battle, and there was only one squad left in the fleet as a reserve force, which could be said to be an elite force.
In the blink of an eye, the battle became intense.
The computing unit Xiao Hu relies on on the empire's company-class ships is just a set of minicomputers worth 100 million, and their computing power is not very high.
Its priority is to ensure its own safety and the accuracy of its attacks.
Although it has not forgotten that it wants to invade the opponent's system, the opponent's digital defense has already been activated.
It is okay to forcefully launch digital attacks at this moment, but Xiaohu still remembers the boss's instructions and does not use full firepower.
When it is hidden, it becomes a little more difficult to seize the opponent's control system.
But there is good news. The control systems of the two armed merchant ships are not the same as those of the military and are easy to hack.
Under various attacks, the two merchant ships were quickly severely damaged.
At the same time, nearly 20 of the military's more than 30 small ships were destroyed.
The imperial military's losses were only one company-class ship and three attack ships damaged.
Under the command of the colonel, the injured attack ship returned as soon as possible.
However, the small ships of the Alliance military are also quite fierce and fearless of death.
Although many were destroyed, there were still seven or eight ships that stubbornly headed towards the battalion-class ships.
From the perspective of the alliance military, there must be senior enemy officers on board this warship, which is their primary target of attack.
The key is that they have also analyzed that it is not cost-effective to attack small ships when fighting against a fleet led by Digital Phantom.
Although small ships are squishy, they are too flexible and difficult to attack.
Moreover, there might be someone in the small ship, but the opponent has the individual combat power to destroy a company-level ship alone.
Therefore, if they want to entangle their opponents and attack their senior officers, it is a more suitable choice.
The key is that the speed of a mere battalion-level ship is not very fast. Once it can be damaged, it can almost bite the opponent to death.
The imperial military was also aware of the other party's intentions and felt that it was time to consider evacuating.
However, not observing the opponent's follow-up support troops, everyone felt that it was a bit regretful.
??????55.??????
At this moment, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in the company-class ship, "Discovered the opponent's digital combat system."
Xiaohu was only reporting relevant situations. Specific combat instructions still required authorization from the military.
The colonel perked up when he heard it. The enemy also has a digital combat system? This must be clarified.
The Empire is also developing digital battleships, which are almost at the same pace as the Alliance. They can operate properly, but they are still far from perfect.
No matter what step you can take now, you should always try to attack the opponent.
So the colonel issued an order to focus fire on the opponent's company-class ship carrying the digital system.
Even the battalion-level ships braved the artillery fire and moved forward for a certain distance to participate in the attack.
The alliance's digital combat system is much worse than Xiaohu's.
Although its position was relatively erratic and its artillery accuracy was not bad, it was still quickly destroyed under concentrated attacks.
As soon as the digital system was destroyed, Xiaohu's invasion ability suddenly increased. He was originally struggling to attack, but he took control of a company-class ship in an instant.
However, at this moment, both warring parties have observed that an alliance fleet is approaching at full speed from a distance of more than two million kilometers.
A casual observation will reveal that there are at least five or six battalion-level ships, obviously more than one regiment.
The colonel decisively issued the order to retreat. Although it was a bit regretful, he had to leave.
However, facing the paralyzed company-class ship, the two attack ships were reluctant to let it go and launched a wave of attacks before leaving.
With this wave of attacks, the enemy ship was completely destroyed, but an attack ship was also hit. This is the price of greed for merit.
The attack ship's power dropped suddenly, and the friendly ships next to it subconsciously wanted to rescue it.
The attack ship said calmly, "Withdraw yours and leave us alone. This time is worth it!"
There were two imperial soldiers on the injured small ship.
One person is responsible for observing and recording the battle, and the other is responsible for maintaining the starship - including the supply of ammunition bays and energy bays.
If the starship is damaged elsewhere, they will try to escape quickly, but if the power system is damaged, it is really over.
The injured starship actually attacked the company-class ship again and issued a battle order, "Destroy it completely first!"
The friendly ship was unwilling to give up, but for this situation, there was a plan before the war, and no time was spent on rescue.
Because the opponent's battalion-level ships still had combat capabilities, the nine small attack ships serving as the final reserve were also released.
There is no doubt that the other party made a last-ditch effort just to entangle its own fleet.
The injured small ship spoke again, "We will entangle them and try to use up all the ammunition!"
When the power is damaged, it is very difficult to move to the rear, and firing all the ammunition is basically just a luxury.
However, the two crew members were already setting up the self-destruction device, "It's a pity that this talisman will also be destroyed."
At this moment, a cold voice came from the intercom, "You two...get dressed!"
The dressing referred to in Star Wars is not to put on clothes, but to put on a space suit or mecha and prepare to leave the cabin.
The two of them immediately became excited, "This is... the Master of Digital Phantom!"
Qing Hu is not a secret in this squadron, but her other circumstances are kept secret from most people.
It's not that these imperial soldiers can't be trusted, but the risk of fighting behind enemy lines is too great, and all kinds of information must be hidden as much as possible.
Even the senior colonel only knew that she should be of the highest level of cultivation, but didn't know anything else.
Very few people know about Qing Hu's operation of a small ship.
As for whether she would come to the rescue, only the senior colonel knew - mainly because she had to give her reasons for participating in the attack.
The colonel did not tell the others because he was worried that once these soldiers knew there was a way out, they would attack even more crazily.
Sometimes soldiers are too belligerent, causing headaches for the commander. He blocks the news just to make the soldiers more careful when fighting.
It's good to have rescue, but if you can't use it... it's better not to use it. After all, the Supreme Being is not immortal.
The two injured soldiers in the small ship really didn't expect that someone would come to the rescue.
They have decided to commit suicide, but if they can survive, who is willing to die?
Moreover, the success rate for adults who come to rescue from Digital Phantom will obviously be much higher than that of other comrades.
More importantly, the military fleet is under the command of Digital Phantom, and they are not even qualified to refuse.
In fact, they really couldn't bear to refuse, so after setting up the self-destruct program, they started dressing quickly.
One person put on a spacesuit and the other put on a mecha.
The moment he opened the hatch, the mecha never forgot to ask, "Thank you, sir, for the rescue. Will it affect the fleet's evacuation?"
The next moment, a small ship rushed over like lightning.
"They want rescue!" The alliance warship discovered the situation and immediately issued an order, "Stop!"
