1528 carrier-based aircraft participated in the war
Rays of light flew into the Watcher fleet from the flanks, and then one after another the Watcher warships were hit and exploded.
The shell of the Watcher battleship is extremely hard. Because it is directly converted from energy, it is extremely strong. Ordinary attacks cannot even damage these shells, let alone destroy the internal structure inside.
However, the main guns of the battleships of the Airansil Empire are also very sharp. Even for the planet, the power of these main guns has seriously overflowed.
The reason why such a powerful weapon is built is entirely because of the threat from the Watchers. Therefore, these beams can be said to be completely tailor-made for the Watchers, and it is naturally possible to penetrate these hard shells.
The battle was still going on fiercely, and the guards did not sit still and wait for death just because their flanks were attacked.
Countless Watcher battleships began to turn, and then used the main guns on their own battleships to launch a counterattack against the fleet of the Elanthir Empire.
For a time, the battlefield was divided into two parts. On one side, the 3rd Fleet on the flank was constantly squeezing the warships of the Watcher. On the other side, the warships of both sides on the frontal battlefield were still attacking each other.
"Marshal! The frontal pursuit has almost reached its limit! We have to shorten the distance between the two sides and have to speed up. In this way, it will be too late to replenish the defensive energy of the front-line warships!"
The secret to the Airanthil Empire's fleet being able to maintain without losing any warships is to constantly rotate front-line warships, so that warships that are about to run out of energy can be rotated to the rear to replenish energy.
However, such tactics can only be executed in a defensive state with almost no movement - once it enters an offensive state and the fleet is moving forward, it will be more troublesome for the retreating warships to catch up to the front to replace other warships.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the 1st fleet of the Airanhir Empire has been using the same batch of warships for energy defense. Now the energy defense of these warships has almost reached its limit.
Lawns knew that of course they could continue to attack, but soon they would also lose some battleships, but these losses would in exchange for greater losses for the enemy.
He could also choose to stop advancing and let the 3rd fleet withdraw from the battle at the same time. In this way, he almost perfectly won the first large-scale battle between the two sides, giving the empire a successful victory in the first space battle.
period.
For Genesis, it is a difficult choice whether to reap the full benefits of the first collision or to conserve strength and hide some necessary trump cards.
He didn't know what kind of back-ups the other party had, so he didn't know if he would expose his weaknesses to the other party in advance if he really used all his trump cards.
In the end, he decided not to spit out what he had eaten in his mouth! Even if he could only kill one more enemy, he should seize the opportunity to kill this enemy more!
Since the battleship pursuit may have reached its limit and inflicting casualties on oneself is not a good option, then just use other methods to continue to exert pressure.
Therefore, he looked at the adjutant standing aside and ordered: "Since this is a test, let's try to see if all our weapons can really be used! Let the aircraft carrier fleet launch an attack!"
"Yes! Marshal!" The adjutant stood at attention and saluted, and then went to convey the marshal's new order.
At the core of the aircraft carrier fleet immediately behind the main fleet, on top of a super huge battleship, in the towering bridge, the captain received the message from the flagship of the Seris from the hands of the adjutant.
After reading it, he handed the message back to the adjutant, then looked at the aviation unit commander beside him and said, "It's finally our turn! Are your pilots ready?"
"Of course! They were on standby an hour ago! They can be dispatched at any time!" the commander of the aviation unit replied with a smile.
The commander and the captain were from different branches of the military. The captain was the former combat commander of the navy, and he, the commander of the carrier aviation force, originally served in the air force.
The establishment of the Space Fleet brought them together from their respective armies, and finally formed such a command team.
And both of them knew that they were the most experienced commanders in the empire in their respective fields.
"Let the carrier-based aircraft take off! Implement the first round of strikes!" Grabbing the intercom in front of him, the aviation commander solemnly ordered: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The voice on the other side of the communicator replied with the same solemnity: "The carrier-based aircraft takes off! The first round of strikes begins!"
With its square head and square head, the Titan II-class super aircraft carrier is like a super huge transport ship, with the side decks slowly opening one after another.
The small combat spacecraft that had been fixed on the launch arm were pushed out of the ship one after another, and then the ejection device pushed them into space.
The fighter pilot who had entered a state of weightlessness before launch felt his spacecraft slowly rotating in the universe, which was the feeling of being freed from restraints.
He reached out, buttoned up his space suit, and then gently shook the joystick.
Around the spacecraft, the attitude engine gently ejected gas, adjusting the spacecraft to a face-up flight attitude.
Although this was not his first time flying in the universe, as an ace fighter pilot, Olanke felt that he was still a little nervous.
This was his first time facing a powerful enemy in the universe, and he could feel a little sweat dripping from his palms holding the joystick.
"Super engine ignition starts! First Combat Wing, follow me!" After a brief silence, he contacted his comrades on the communication channel, then turned on the engine propulsion switch, letting his fighter jets rush ahead.
go out.
Small combat spacecraft, also known as space carrier-based aircraft, do not have a separate jump function, but they also use large propulsion engines.
Because it has a small mass and does not need to carry a lot of fuel, it flies extremely fast, so it can easily catch up with battleships and carry out attacks.
The spaceship equipped with two electromagnetic guns has short-range combat capabilities and better maneuverability. The main weapon used to attack the warship is a nuclear bomb that it carries that has been enhanced by magic and has a yield of more than 100 million tons.
Despite this, the power of this nuclear bomb is not as devastating as the Star Destroyer Cannon. In fact, no one knows whether its attack capability can destroy the enemy's defenses.
This attack is used to test whether the carrier-based aircraft unit has the ability to fight alone - if so, the aircraft carrier formation will become the main force of the fleet and be qualified to fight alone.
"Sir! We're right behind you!" The mechanical voice of the accompanying wingman pilot came from the earphones.
"Pay attention to the formation! The width of the fleet in front does not allow us to bypass the battle zone! Soon we will pass directly through the artillery battle area on both sides... Pay attention to the ballistic monitor! Avoid our own ballistics... and avoid the enemy as much as possible
Ballistics..." Olanke reminded others while turning on his own ballistic monitor.
"Yes!" A voice responded from the earphones.
While they were talking, they had already passed a large and busy supply fleet. Those super supply ships, which were as huge as ports, were opening their four supply mechanical arms to connect those warships that needed to supply magic energy crystals.
The huge chain rolled, and the mechanical claws hoisting the magic energy crystal container entered one after another along the chain into the battleship just connected to the mechanical arm. Then they rolled out from the other side, carrying the empty container with them.
Return to the supply ship.
Burning black marks can still be vaguely seen on the front ends of many violent level 2 battleships. These are the scars left on the main armor belt after the opponent luckily broke through the magic defense.
Maintenance robots are trying to repair these damages, some are replacing steel plates, and some are helping to paint new paint.
When the carrier-based aircraft that had already formed a battle formation passed by these supply battleships, through the cockpit covers of the fighter jets, Olank could see some astronauts waving to them through the portholes.
And in the eyes of those astronauts wearing spacesuits floating in the universe and ensuring the docking of battleships and supply ships, what they saw was a dazzling star flying over their heads.
The twinkling light of the huge thrusters of the carrier-based aircraft created a picture of the Milky Way in the dark universe.
"Open the magic defense barrier! Gentlemen! We have arrived at the frontal battlefield!" Seeing a black energy line penetrate the own battleship formation and fly past them, Oulanke opened his mouth to remind everyone.
All the fighter jets lit up their energy protection barriers. Although their barriers were very thin compared to the magic defense barriers on the battleships, they were one of the few ways they could protect themselves.
If carrier-based aircraft want to obtain faster and more flexible flight capabilities, they cannot install thicker armor protection. They have no way to increase their size for this, so they can only rely more on flexible avoidance to increase their battlefield survivability.
.
"Get ready to fight!" Soon, the slightly nervous voices of the pilots came from the headphones.
"Get ready to fight!" Everyone was repeating, and then these fighter jets passed by their own battleship formation and came to the battlefield where energy shells were flying everywhere.
"Enter the combat zone!" Oranke drove his fighter jet between the energy beams, and the wingmen following him also nimbly avoided the black energy flying in front of them one by one.
Not far away, another fighter formation also entered the combat zone. Unable to avoid it, a wingman directly collided with a black energy line, and then instantly exploded into a ball of gorgeous fireworks.
"Pay attention to the front! Pay attention to the front!" In the public channel, someone nervously reminded his comrades.
"Dodge! Dodge!" Then, more voices rang out, and countless fighter jets flashing with the light of their thrusters moved flexibly through the large web of light and darkness.
"The distance to the enemy is 3.1 million kilometers! Keep your formation!" Looking at the numbers displayed on the rangefinder, a wingman driving a puppet loudly reminded Olank that they were approaching the enemy fleet.
"Pay attention to the battlefield prompts! The spherical ones are called guardians. They are the enemy's frigates and are low-value targets! Save nuclear bombs and try not to attack such warships!" The battlefield commander's reminder sounded clearly from the earphones.
came.
Ever since the Ilanthil Empire realized that the enemy might engage in electromagnetic interference, it had strengthened the level of detection and communications.
Now it seems that the force was a bit too much, because the enemy's battlefield interference still exists, and the communications and detection of the Lovely Landsir Empire do not seem to have encountered any trouble.
"The distance is 2.4 million kilometers! We are almost in the middle of the two armies now! Pay attention to our artillery fire behind us!" The reminder voice came from the earphones again, and then Olank saw another carrier-based aircraft hit by artillery fire.
scattered in the universe.
He had just passed by a black light, and the vibrations of the fighter jet he was flying proved the danger of that terrifying black light.
Even if it is only affected by energy, if the magic defense barrier is not activated, it may cause mechanical failure. In the middle of a battlefield full of "cannonballs", the consequences of paralysis will definitely be disastrous.
"The distance to the enemy fleet is 2 million kilometers! 1.9 million kilometers! 1.8 million kilometers!" The mechanical voice began to give frequent prompts after reaching a distance of two million kilometers.
"It seems we are lucky, the enemy seems to have no anti-aircraft fire!" A pilot joked and cheered up the atmosphere in the slightly bumpy fighter jet.
"1.1 million kilometers away from the enemy! 1 million kilometers! 900,000 kilometers!" The wingman's puppet robot pilot continued to remind his lead aircraft tirelessly.
"We haven't encountered any interception fire from the enemy! Keep the formation! Keep the formation!" Oranke continued to remind his comrades while controlling his fighter plane to avoid the artillery fire that was obviously not aimed at him.
Soon, when the fighter force, which had increased its speed to the extreme, was close to the enemy fleet, their leisurely time ended in an instant.
"Oh my god! Look at these ugly things! They shouldn't be in this world!" When Olanke saw the enemy fleet in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes.
These alien battleships, or watcher battleships, are simply space junk floating in the universe. The entire battleship is covered with sharp barbs, and it looks like a mutant seed.
At this moment, these huge warships were firing continuously at the distant Ailanthil Empire fleet, and black energy flew into the distance one after another.
"Our fuel is limited! One group is ready to attack! One group is ready to attack!" Olanke held down his earphone and gave the order to his group to attack: "Be careful not to hit those battleships, try to stay on top of their battleships as much as possible
Wander between them!”
"Damn! Be careful! Be careful! They are firing! They are firing!" When everyone was about to start attacking at the gap into the enemy fleet, countless black energy groups flew towards them.
These are not huge energy and are obviously unable to shoot at long distances. They are designed to solve the trouble of getting close.
The dense energy almost immediately enveloped the Airanhir Empire's carrier-based aircraft forces, and many carrier-based aircraft were blown up by the incoming energy before they could react.
"Spread out! Spread out! The other side is covered by intensive firepower!" Olanke shouted loudly as he pulled up the joystick.
Following his control, his fighter plane immediately raised its head and flew high, leaving a series of black energy groups behind him.
Before the opponent could adjust the shooting angle, Oranke tilted the joystick to the left as he was accustomed to, and controlled the fighter plane to slide sideways to the left.
This coherent control threw away most of the attacks, but the enemy's attacks were still intensive, as if they would not stop until they eliminated all the approaching enemies.
"Cunning bastards! They deliberately put us at such a close distance before opening fire!" Olanke saw that a wingman behind him had caught fire, like a meteor in the universe.
He looked at the range table and ordered all the fighter units: "Avoid the incoming firepower! Disperse! Drop nuclear bombs at a distance of 5,000 kilometers!"
"Understood!" In the earphones, a group of well-trained pilots immediately replied.
"Come on! Come on! I have locked you!" Oranke controlled the fighter jet to avoid the incoming attack while locking his radar on a huge warship.
It was a huge Arbitrator battleship, the main battleship of the Watchers, with firepower comparable to that of the Invincible. Of course, Olank didn't know this, he only knew that the target was the closest to him.
"Pull up! Pull up! Avoid the Star Destroyer Cannon behind you! Then drop the bomb immediately!" Olanke reminded his comrades while pulling up his fighter plane.
Then, he saw the radar locking prompt light light up on the side of his helmet's sight.
"Go to hell!" He pressed the attack button, causing the nearly 20-meter-long nuclear bomb that had been hanging under the belly of the aircraft to detach from the missile launcher.
In order to ensure the range of nuclear bombs, the size of these nuclear bombs is about the same as that of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Only in this way can they ensure that they fly fast enough, fly stable enough, and fly far enough in the universe!
At this time, the F fighter planes began to execute the automatic attack program. These fighters piloted by puppet robots began to attack deeper places. They were not afraid of death and could choose to launch attacks closer to the target.
The nuclear bomb that escaped from the Orank fighter jet was ignited not far away, and then rushed towards the Watcher's spaceship.
Due to inertia, the speed of this missile was already extremely fast. After accelerating again, it was as fast as lightning.
It rushed directly into the dense Watcher fleet, and then bloomed from the shell of a Judiciary battleship that was opening fire to attack the distant Elanshir Empire fleet.
The explosive energy spread instantly by the nuclear bomb explosion was released directly near the Arbitrator's solid outer shell. The huge energy did not penetrate its outer shell, but pushed it towards another Arbitrator battleship next to it.
The two battleships collided directly. The shells covered with spikes squeezed each other, twisted and deformed, and then cracked. They looked extremely embarrassed.
"The nuclear bomb's proximity fuse has no way of penetrating the hull of the Arbitrator warship! Damn it! The proximity fuse is invalid! It's invalid!" Seeing through the monitor that his nuclear bomb did not have the destructive effect it should have, Olank drove while driving
His fighter plane left the war zone while reporting loudly.
"Order all carrier-based aircraft equipped with proximity-fuse nuclear bombs to launch missiles immediately and return! All carrier-based aircraft equipped with proximity-fuse nuclear bombs immediately launch missiles and return!" In the headset, the commander of the aviation unit immediately issued an order in order to reduce losses.
Said: "Pilots carrying armor-piercing warheads, it's up to you."
"Launch! Launch!" Having approached a very dangerous distance, the carrier-based aircraft pilots carrying armor-piercing warhead nuclear bombs finally got a chance to attack.
Along with the orders one after another, they also aimed the missiles mounted under the belly of the aircraft at the enemy warship and launched them.
"Let these damn bastards die!" A fighter pilot who dropped a bomb shouted through gritted teeth when he left the attack route.
This time, the nuclear bombs with armor-piercing warheads acted as an attack. Although these nuclear bombs did not penetrate the shells of these thick Arbiter warships immediately, they were embedded inside the shells. The detonation of the nuclear bombs directly acted on the shells, and also directly
These solid materials were shattered.
After a dazzling flash, everyone saw that the hit Adjudicator battleship broke apart and turned into two parts floating in space.
At the same time, against the backdrop of this light, more F-type fighters began to launch missiles, and dozens of such armor-piercing nuclear warheads flew into the Watcher fleet, causing a series of explosions.
Some missiles hit the Guardian warships, and some missiles hit the Advocate warships. But no matter what kind of warships they hit, explosions continued to bloom in the Guardian fleet.
Looking at the exploding own warships in the distance, Solons's voice echoed in the darkness: "I really didn't expect that they could build so many space warships in such a short five years... It seems like this
The spread capability of the Airanhill Empire has reached the top level."
Another voice asked uneasily: "Lord Saurons, what should we do? If we start the copying program, it will also consume precious cosmic energy..."
"The self-replication program must be started! If we lose this war, wouldn't the Watchers become a joke?" After hearing this question, Sorens answered directly without thinking at all.
They are the guardians of the universe. If the guardians are defeated by the virus, doesn't it mean that God has been defeated by the mortals he created? Such an ending is simply impossible, so as guardians, they must defeat Ailanthir
empire.
"Order, follow-up warships start the replication process during flight! Today's military strength is not enough to suppress such a civilization..." Solons's order was full of anger. He really felt extremely overwhelmed by his continuous failures.
