The situation on the battlefield has completely shifted to the side of the Jiepen fleet.
Continuously, assault ships had their energy shields shattered in the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, and then were blown to pieces by another wave of energy cannons that followed, or their hulls were shattered by continuous hits from photon missiles.
If the battlefield from the beginning of the war to the present is divided into three stages, the first stage is naturally the stage of the Meteor Star Alliance. The Jiepen fleet was caught off guard and was so dizzy that it could not find its way and lost several heavy warships in succession;
In the second stage, all the starships of the Jiepen people jumped out and survived the most difficult moment. The Meteor Starry Sky side lost more than 20 starships, but the Jiepen side also lost one destroyer. It was basically a tie.
The third stage is already the stage for the Jiepen people. Although the six starships have suffered more or less casualties, their defense and attack power are far superior to the meteorite starry sky alliance. If it weren't for Tang Lang's concerns,
This side still has the firepower of three small destroyers, and Itagaki might have already ordered the fleet to move forward.
But what is even more despairing is that this third stage has just begun. It is not known how many assault ships and warriors will become dust in deep space in this cruel energy cannon bombardment. Wait until the Meteor Star Alliance forces come back again
When someone cannot bear the heavy casualties and chooses to retreat, the third stage will transform into the fourth stage. Hundreds of starships will flee in panic, and the Jiepen fleet will chase them one after another, and they will be defeated like a mountain.
The assault ship left behind by the enemy will completely lose its resistance and become the target of the Jiepen fleet's wanton hunting.
In other words, unless a miracle occurs, defeat is certain.
Even a strong man like Shen Chengfeng, who had experienced countless lives and deaths, could not help but feel deep despair in his eyes at this moment, let alone others.
But Tang Lang was still waiting.
Waiting for the birth of a miracle.
On the screen that was always monitoring the Star Fighter Squadron, there was only a small green dot that was still heading towards the predetermined airspace.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I disobeyed orders and asked my last brother to retreat first!" Hou Sanqiang's voice suddenly sounded in Tang Lang's seat.
Looking at the entire battlefield, except for a few squadron commanders, only the fighter squadron leader has this communication channel that can lead directly to Tang Lang.
Because he has the ability to create miracles.
"But, I promise, I will complete the mission!" Hou Sanqiang's voice came again. "Sir, please give the retreat order! You still have ten seconds."
"Golden Eagle 1! Don't be impulsive. You are only 5,000 kilometers away from the designated airspace. I authorize you to drop the bomb if you advance another 1,000 kilometers, and then leave at full speed." As calm as Tang Lang, he couldn't help but stand up at this time, and ordered in a somewhat hasty tone.
.
"I'm sorry, sir, I can't give you such a guarantee!" Hou Sanqiang's voice was filled with sadness. "I can only disobey your military order again, but I can guarantee that this must be the last time!"
The next moment, Hou Sanqiang's voice sounded again: "I order, Fatty, to start the detonation process!"
Tang Lang's eyes instantly became crystal clear.
He knew the thoughts of this captain whom he was not familiar with.
On the battlefield of fleet-level operations, relying on just a few star fighter aircraft to influence the situation of the battle would be an object of ridicule for everyone anywhere.
But what if one of the fighter planes is carrying an anti-matter bomb?
Especially when the opponent's fleet takes the initiative to shrink the defense circle in order to increase defense, and the distance between each ship will never exceed 1,500 kilometers? There is no doubt that this anti-matter bomb will become the scythe of death, and it can be harvested at will. Everything in its core explosion circle.
Tang Lang led all the starships in a desperate charge. His main purpose was not to destroy more Jiepen starships, but to force the Jiepen people to establish a defensive circle and further compress the space between their starships. ah!
Itagaki Zheng was very obedient and played a circular array, allowing the Jiepen fleet to survive the most dangerous period, but he did not know that the greater danger was still behind. For Tang Lang, now, the early tactical goals Everything has been realized, and we are just waiting for the final decision of the fighter squadron sneaking into the battlefield.
However, Tang Lang did not expect that this last blow would be so brutal.
Hou Sanqiang was originally not outstanding in Shen Chengfeng's air pirate group. He was not an outstanding mecha master, and he was one of the few aircraft pilots in Shen Chengfeng's air pirate group. Even though the name of air pirate is air pirate, but That mainly means that they carry out plunder in space. In fact, there are very few air combats. Ordinary civilian ships can only surrender when encountering assault ships with energy cannons. But as long as they see the military, the air pirates have already dispersed. How can there be much chance of aerial combat if the legs are running away?
But Hou Sanqiang, who is not a showman, showed great talent after taking over the Star Fighter. In two consecutive fierce battles with the Meteor Star Sky Pirates Alliance, the Independent Regiment showed extremely strong combat capabilities, and even a single The glorious record of a man-made aircraft using a photon missile to hit the assault ship's engine, paralyzing the assault ship's power and forcing him to surrender. That was a feat of extraordinary courage that required the fighter jet to move less than a hundred kilometers away from the assault ship.
Hou Sanqiang, who must be promoted in military rank in every battle and was promoted from second lieutenant to captain in two consecutive battles, has become a popular candidate for the captain of the star fighter brigade to be established in the "Independent Regiment".
Tang Lang already knew from Jiang Cheng that the "Independent Regiment" would have a "mothership", although it was only modified from a new transport ship.
However, Hou Sanqiang, who was about to enter the ranks of school officials, chose the most unscientific mode. He drove away his companions against orders and activated "Fat Man" before reaching the designated airspace.
Fatty is naturally the antimatter explosive device that has begun counting down, and was named by Zhu Yidao himself.
Antimatter is the most powerful explosive known in the sky, but it does not mean that anyone can catalyze antimatter to the point of explosion. The process is more complicated than the fission of atomic nuclei to form an atomic bomb.
In the hands of ordinary people, the metal ball obtained from the Jiepen people and loaded with more than ten grams of antimatter is actually just a small marble, which can be used to play checkers.
If you want to install it on a photon missile and then detonate it, the Science and Technology Department of the "Independent Regiment" currently does not have this level. If it were not for Tao Ruyuan, a big shot, I am afraid that the "Independent Regiment" would have to put that thing in the regiment headquarters now. Mascots, if anyone dares to cause trouble, it's okay to use them to scare people.
But there was not much time left for Tao Ruyuan. A few days were only enough for him to make a fixed detonation device that could catalyze the antimatter to the explosion point. Moreover, for safety reasons, the device must be authorized by Tang Lang himself and then passed by the responsible person. It will only be activated after the pilot's voiceprint is verified. Otherwise, if it is accidentally activated inside the starship, the "independent group" will not be able to cry. If you want to blow up others, but you will blow up yourself, then maybe it will It has become a big joke that the whole starry sky laughs at the Chinese people.
That means it can only be dropped by fighter planes.
An explosive device no larger than an ordinary refrigerator was dropped into the pitch-black starry sky, like a grain of sand dropped into the desert. No one would notice this terrifying thing that could blow a planet into pieces.
Son.
In order to protect the pilot responsible for dropping the bomb, Tao Ruyuan gave a ten-second countdown. As long as the bomb is manually dropped and the voiceprint is activated, the star fighter at full speed can fly more than 10,000 kilometers within ten seconds, and can basically fly
Escape from the core explosion zone before the explosion. Moreover, according to calculations, the shock wave mainly escapes in two dimensions. The hazard at the three-dimensional top of the core explosion zone is the smallest. The probability of escape of the star fighter is higher than 80%.
But all this was given up by the captain pilot.
Tang Lang knew that, as the captain's pilot said, this was the last time he would disobey military orders.
Because, let alone wanting to disobey him, he may never have the chance to listen to military orders again in his life.
He disobeyed the order. He just didn't obey Tang Lang's request to launch and then leave at full speed. He had no intention of reaching the designated airspace. If he started the detonation process without launching, he would just turn himself and the fighter plane into a sprinting missile. In ten seconds
In a few minutes, the fighter plane entering the brain-assisted cruise state is enough to send Fatty, who has entered the countdown to detonation, to an area 2,000 kilometers away. Even if he is going to be blown up in the next moment, no one can stop it from happening.
In the gleaming light in Tang Lang's eyes, the captain's pilot's final voice rang out: "Sir, it's an honor to be with you. Goodbye!"
After that, there was a terrible silence in the voice communication.
"Order! All fleets, the rear team becomes the front team, the front team becomes the rear team, retreat!" Tang Lang closed his eyes in pain.
"Yes! Commander!" The staff officer immediately handed down the order.
The starship commanders of the coalition forces who were desperately resisting could not help but breathe a sigh of relief at the moment they received Tang Lang's military order.
The originally semi-arc fleet turned around and increased the energy engine output to the highest level according to the retreat route sent by the flagship staff together with the military order. Except for part of the energy used to maintain the energy shield, the rest was used for starship maneuvers.
As long as they are given 40 seconds, the starship can reach a sub-high speed of more than 10,000 kilometers per second. As for reaching the top speed, the energy shield must be removed first. But here, it is obviously impossible, Jie Pen
Human energy cannons are not vegetarian.
Looking at it from the perspective of Sei Itagaki, the opponent's fleet, which was originally in a semi-arc shape, was like a sparrow that had exploded its nest. Except for the innermost one, which was still slowly adjusting its bow, the rest of the starships
Some go upwards, some go downwards, and some even go backwards to reveal the rear engine. The bright and dazzling engine tail flames illustrate a fact.
They are going to run away.
"All fleets, prepare to attack!" Itagaki Sei was worthy of being a man with the potential to become a famous general, so he gave the order immediately.
And inside the flagship of the "Phoenix".
"Activate the optical detector closest to the Jie Pen fleet!" Tang Lang, who had not had any strong emotional impulses for a long time, flashed in his eyes. "Share the monitoring footage to the entire fleet."
A small, inconspicuous meteorite located closest to the Jiepen fleet, the rock layer suddenly peeled off, revealing an optical lens with unpredictable luster reflected by the light of flames rising in the void.
This extremely shocking scene has remained in the eyes of most of the officers and soldiers of the Meteor Star Alliance Army.
In the deep sky with dark blue as the background, there are no stars visible. What dominates the field of view is a "Golden Eagle" fighter plane with delta wings. It raises its head upward, its wings are more than half retracted, and its three energy engines are spraying bright blue tails.
The flame, seen from a distance, looks like a sharp arrow, or to be more precise, it is a missile.
Yes, the fighter plane that is soaring up in the energy cannon beam has increased its speed to 800 kilometers per second, which means that the pilot has automatically entered a dormant state by the fighter's life support system, and all controls are controlled by the intelligent brain.
, Theoretically speaking, it is a large photon missile.
What does he want to do? Giving up manual control at such a close distance to approach the Jeppon starship, what is the difference between that and seeking death? Moreover, he is still seeking death in a state of knowing nothing, and just walks toward death in silence, what is the psychology of that?
Such a big question mark appears in many people's minds involuntarily.
The Jiepen people were also in a daze.
What does the opponent Baga want to do? However, this does not prevent them from pressing the launch button of the energy cannon through the automatic aiming system.
A bunch of energy beams passed by the "missile".
A few seconds later, in the airspace less than 3,000 kilometers behind and behind the "herringbone" Jie Pen fleet, the indomitable "Golden Eagle" turned into a ball of flames under the fire of more than ten energy cannons.
"He is our hero!"
Tang Lang on the bridge raised his right hand and saluted.
