The Jiepen people did indeed come as Tang Lang expected.
But what he didn't expect was that the Jiepen people came so powerfully. As soon as they appeared, they turned out to be the flagship-level starships of the main fleet.
Are the Jiepen people arrogant enough? Or are they fierce enough, just like the cavalry charge in the ancient Blue Star cold weapon era, where the general is the arrow of the charge?
However, in order to boost morale, the ancient generals may have been on the front line when charging, but they were surrounded by countless personal guards. If they wanted to kill him, they had to kill the soldiers on the periphery first.
Just like now, a flagship starship comes out in such a show of force.
"Commander, give the order to attack!" Yuchijian's resolute face appeared on the screen of Tang Lang's command seat. "Since the Jiepen people threw a big one out first, let's kill it first."
"Wait a minute!" Tang Lang watched from afar as the surveillance video showed that the Jiepen cruiser had begun to move forward, and tried hard to turn the huge hull sideways. Apparently, he wanted to give the following starships enough space and block them when they were in danger.
There was enough artillery fire, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "What if we fight now and scare away the Jiepen people behind?"
"Order all starships not to start their engines, but anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Tang Lang's voice was transmitted through the command center to each command ship with special communications enabled, and the order was sent to all starships through the sidelights.
Tang Lang had already obtained the absolute command of the "Independent Regiment" by virtue of his continuous battlefield victories. When given an order, no one under Shen Chengfeng would disobey him. It was expected that the "Independent Regiment" would obey him.
However, the air pirates who accounted for the majority of the troops turned into good boys at such a moment, which was beyond the expectations of all the commanders of the independent regiment.
But they didn't know what the air pirates were thinking. Let's not talk about the fact that if Jiepen's fleet successfully invaded the meteorite sky, they already knew that their group had robbed Jiepen's huge caravan and stabbed Jiepen's people severely, and the two sides would never be able to coexist peacefully.
psychology.
Tang Lang's incredible prediction this time accurately predicted the jump point of Jipeng's fleet. For the air pirates who were already frightened, it was the most important psychological support. In the face of a huge crisis, the only way to rely on
Only those who are strong enough can get out of trouble. This is an unbreakable truth passed down to them by their ancestors who have experienced thousands of years of hardships in the meteorite sky.
Compared with the more civilized world outside, people in the Dark Star Territory follow the laws of natural selection more. As long as you are strong enough, we will listen to you.
Therefore, after Tang Lang's military order, more than 200 starships faced the Jiepen starship that leaped out with great momentum. They behaved like a regular army and no one dared to disobey the order.
This has also become one of the main reasons why future military historians will evaluate this small-to-medium-sized battle that unexpectedly broke out in the meteorite sky between the Jeppon Empire and the Southwest Federation before the outbreak of the war, and why the Southwest Federation Independent Group won a complete victory.
Without Tang Lang's amazing leadership and the incredible combat discipline of the air pirates, even if almost all the forces in the meteorite sky were gathered in this star field, and they had the right time, place and people, they would never have achieved such results.
victory.
You know, the moment it leaves the jump point, the cruiser that turns on the energy source monitoring for the first time scans the star field with a radius of millions of kilometers with a capability that far exceeds that of ordinary monitors. If anything goes wrong, it will
Send a signal to fleet headquarters that has not yet entered the jump point.
Judging from the various careful arrangements made by Itagaki before the war, Major General Jie Pen had an extremely delicate mind and was extremely wary of unfamiliar star fields like the meteorite sky. Would he still order the "...
It is still unknown whether five starships, including the USS Dewwhite, will venture into the jump.
Including a cruiser and two destroyers that have entered the transition, three frigates and a total of six starships account for half of the first squadron of Jepen's Sixth Army, but the difference between that and taking over the entire fleet is not ordinary.
big.
How to describe this feeling? It's like doing some kind of exercise. You have already stripped your opponents into small pieces, and your eyes, mouth, nose, and hands are all so happy, but at the last moment, because of a certain aspect of your
Unfortunately, I can only wave my hand and say that I will let you go today.
Only those who have experienced that kind of regret will know that it cannot be called regret at all, but pain, extreme pain.
How painful it is for you to lose the last moment of conquest, how sad it is for the general who led the army. Perhaps, when military historians in the future look at this battle again, they will just regard this battle as a small incident for the Jiepen people.
Instead of calling this battle named "The Fall of Bermuda" the beginning of the fall of the Jeppon Empire.
Because Tang Lang waited quietly for thirty seconds, Itagaki Sei, who received everything safe, gave the order to enter the artificial wormhole.
The moment the "Lubai" entered the wormhole, the countdown to the destruction of the Sixth Army's First Squadron had already begun. No matter how the "Gaomiao" under attack sent out a danger signal, the remaining four starships must also
It's time to enter the transition.
Itagaki can order to stop the jump, which is a tactic, but if they dare not to enter, they will escape before the battle. In the Jeppon military system, if the chief officer dies, the generals under his command who are cowardly will be executed, and their families will be cut off from the nobles.
The title and citizen level will be reduced by three levels.
After jumping into the counterspace, no signal from the positive space was received. Therefore, when Itagaki led his colonel and chief of staff to leave the counterspace and enter the positive space with great ambition, the two of them were collectively confused.
What a miserable scene it was before them!
The "Gaomiao" is a huge body, and its bow has been blown off. The once proud 1,200-meter hull only has 800 meters left, because the remaining section has a powerful damage control system.
By sealing all the blasted cabins, the nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers in the damaged ship will not die due to loss of oxygen and pressure in the short term. There are even many missile launch holes and energy secondary guns firing attacks, showing the Jiepen Empire
The tenacity of a soldier.
However, death is just a matter of time.
Itagaki Sei, who has experienced many battles, knows that losing the bow means losing all command and communication. Even if the energy engine can still provide some energy, the strongest starship in the First Squadron will no longer be able to sail between the stars.
Its designation can already be eliminated from the imperial fleet.
The only role it can play now is to serve as a fixed fort for the final struggle.
All counterattacks are just for the honor of the empire.
In addition to the miserable "Gaomiao", several other starships were also in danger. Except for two frigates, they finally survived the most difficult moment. They were covered in tattered armor and raised energy shields.
A destroyer, one of which had been beaten to half ashes, terrible flames were everywhere, and cracks up to ten meters wide were exposed under the hard armor, and the spray that could quickly bond steel was obviously unable to do anything about it.
However, compared to the other ship, this is already considered lucky. The main energy engine located at the tail of the starship was completely destroyed. Only 600 meters of the once 800-meter-long body remained in the void like an iron coffin.
Countless lifeboats and mechas ejected frantically from the remains of the starship. This was the last resort for the starship soldiers. If no one cleans the battlefield after the war, and when the energy and oxygen are exhausted, they will only be able to accompany the few.
Endless meteorites wander in the starry sky.
If you are lucky enough and are captured by civilization after tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, it may become a cultural relic showing the history of interstellar civilization...
Time goes back a few minutes.
When the cruiser "Gaomiao" sent a signal that all was safe to the rear, it stopped moving further 1,500 kilometers after leaving the jump point. The auxiliary engine under the bow and the main engine at the tail suddenly started at full power at the same time.
On the one hand, it adjusts its huge body to build a defense line for the rear, and on the other hand, it quickly charges the energy shield device, hoping to raise an energy shield that can cover 80% of the huge body in one minute.
The most standard operating procedure of the starship fleet, the cruiser "Gao Miao" executed it perfectly.
If all this can be supported until one minute later, it will be even more perfect. With the energy shield, unless the opponent also has a cruiser-level energy main gun, the "Gaomiao" will be the king of this space.
However, this good mood only lasted for 30 seconds for the more than 10,000 starship soldiers on the "Gaomiao".
"Sir, there is an energy source! Oh my God! Where did they come from!" Following the surveillance lieutenant's exclamation, the eyes of the officers at the bow of the ship were completely frozen.
Groups of energy fluctuations were displayed on the rapidly amplified surveillance screen.
Back and forth, up and down, left and right, everywhere.
"Baga!" the colonel on the bridge ordered with a look of horror on his face. "Advance the monitor to 600,000 kilometers, I want to know what it is!"
"Sir, it's a starship!" the monitoring officer responded with some difficulty. "More than 200 starships! The metal detectors sent earlier showed that the three large metal bodies were also charging. Judging from the size of the ship's body, they were destroyers.
!”
"Baga! Order the whole ship to enter the first level of combat readiness! Lock the target, that is, launch the missile!" Although the captain's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a rocket, he still had a good psychological quality and issued the combat order immediately. "At the same time, to
Main gun charging, target, three enemy destroyers!"
It's a very NICE reaction, but one side is hastily responding to the battle, and the other side is preparing for the battle. One side still needs to desperately allocate energy, while the other side has already given enough energy to the energy shield device and main gun, instead of counter-space like the other side.
Sailing empties all this energy.
Restarting the engine only allows the starship to obtain more power.
The colonel captain who forgot to issue the anti-collision order when the first salvo of 600 energy beams came, was shaken from the bridge due to the violent vibration of the ship's hull and fell to the staff position of the communication seat because he was worried about the commander.
Colonel Jiepen, who was not wearing a combat helmet and did not even fasten a seat belt, became the first wave of personnel to die in the battle on the "Gaomiao".
However, he probably didn’t have too many regrets. He was not alone on the road to hell. Precisely because he knew how terrifying the cruisers were, more than 90% of the 200 starships divided into eight fleets were attacked when the attack order was issued.
The starships also concentrated their main guns on the "Gaomiao".
The armor, which was more than ten meters thick or even thicker, was torn apart by the raging energy cannons. Although rows of missile holes fired hundreds of missiles crazily, the assault ship also had missiles to defend itself. Most of the missiles were in
It was detonated in the void, and a small number of missiles fell on the starship, blasting a large hole with a diameter of several meters in the starship. However, for a starship with a body of hundreds of meters or even hundreds of meters, as long as the damaged cabin is closed in time and carried out
Damage control, a small number of missile hits does not constitute a fatal threat.
The biggest threat comes from the nine main guns and more than 30 secondary guns of the "Gaomiao". It doesn't need to take a lot of hits. It only needs one hit, and it may be able to destroy what is considered a small starship assault ship.
Energy shield.
It's a pity that the "Gaomiao", which was frantically mobilizing energy, could only fire dozens of shots from its nine main guns before the bow of the ship was shattered by countless energy cannons in the void.
The three approaching destroyers undertook the most terrifying attack, and also dealt the greatest blow to the Gaomiao. In the end, the desperate main gunner of the Gaomiao aimed his main gun at those annoying little "flies", beating you and me.
One punch, and I'm going to stab you.
However, the assault ships are small, but they are very slippery. Those whose energy shields are shattered by one shot usually maneuver quickly, stop attacking and quickly escape into deep space.
The most typical characteristic of air pirates is that they are first-rate in escaping.
Anyway, we have many brothers, so we don’t lack a brother or two.
The result of firing more than twenty cannons in a row was just to blast three starships that were slow to react.
The moment before the energy shield was finally full enough to be raised, the once seemingly indestructible bow armor of the Gao Miao had been completely torn apart by the assault fleets that were chasing it and bombarding it wildly.
