Counterfeit Hero

Volume 2, Chapter 20: The Burning Cauldron

The battle in space first started in Airspace 6 of the Newton galaxy. The first mixed fleet composed of the Federation's fourth, sixth, and seventh space fleets encountered a well-prepared enemy. It was an army of four empires. A group of space fleets.

The two sides began to change their formations tens of thousands of kilometers apart. This was an unavoidable fierce battle. The aircraft carrier's space fighters began to be released. Like bees under attack from the hive, the space fighters that came out of the hive were densely ejected from the pipes by the aircraft carrier in an instant. Released, flying and scattered into groups.

In the vast space of stars, this is a very majestic scene. In order to maintain a safe distance, each battleship in the fleet must draw a safe distance from each other and leave space for maneuver and avoidance. Therefore, the entire mixed fleet appears very huge. In space The fleet's signal lights flashed in the black space, like a school of sardines, traveling at high speed in perfect coordination.

The first undoubted option for space battles is of course electronic warfare. The electronic jamming equipment of the battleships on both sides have tried their best. However, since the space battleships have enough energy and space to use anti-attack instruments, and the battleships The thick armor also has the ability to resist interference. Therefore, electronic warfare in space has been reduced to a form of announcing battles.

This kind of battle declaration is equally fierce. No one can be careless. If the communication and command system are captured or destroyed by the enemy accidentally, then there is no need to fight this battle.

The distance gradually disappeared, and the battleships entered the range. The main guns of the battleships on both sides, which had already been charged, fired almost simultaneously. The huge energy light bombs were like dense meteors, shining with huge light between the two fleets, passing each other, and running separately. towards your own goals.

The energy shield of the battleship hit by the energy light bomb kept flashing, causing dense ripples like a pond in the rain.

Some of the warships that bore the brunt of the attack disintegrated almost instantly. With the explosion caused by the energy, ammunition and oxygen in the warships, they separated and disappeared into the vast universe.

The cruisers on both sides have already pulled up to the wings and started a knight-like assault. This is a light battleship with slightly weaker weapons but agility and speed in the fleet. Its mission is to rush into the enemy group, strangle the enemy at close range, and provide cover for the fighter group behind it. .

The battle was so fierce that the same tactical actions of both sides triggered a series of collisions. The battleship's main guns violently attacked with salvos every four minutes. After five minutes of high-speed thrust, the two cruisers finally collided with each other. Strangulation was not their purpose. The cruisers on both sides left the other's similar ships to the fighter group behind them. After two rounds of extremely fast fire at each other, the cruisers broke away at high speed, like a group of intertwined arrows, leaving only a few The wreckage of an unfortunately destroyed cruiser.

What is more flexible than the cruiser is of course the fighter group. These fighters, which have no resistance after being shrouded by the light bullets of the main guns, are synonymous with flexibility. They are like flying poisonous bees. No matter how strong the creature is, they are enveloped by the dense poisonous bees. It will also cost you your life.

The military strength is weak. If this rate of one-to-one loss continues, the Federation will fall into a passive situation after losing more than half, and the loss of battleships will become two-to-one or three-to-one. As a result, they were annihilated by the Imperial fleet, which had an increasingly superior numerical firepower.

Looking at his cruiser and fighter group, Lieutenant General Snyder, the commander-in-chief of the LeRay Federation's First Mixed Fleet, made a desperate decision. He ordered to let the cruiser go, and the fighter group attacked with all its strength, assisting the cruiser to break through the blockade, and try his best to Destroy the enemy's fighter jet group with local superiority.

In later war history research, this order was known as the order that saved the entire Leray Federation. Lieutenant General Snyder, the commander-in-chief of the First Mixed Fleet, also became famous in this battle.

The fleets of both sides are like two opposing schools of fish, swimming at high speed in the vast space, relying on the anti-locking system's early judgment to avoid the opponent's artillery fire. The two wings of the fish school are almost entangled together, but the main battleship formation is not. Always keep your distance.

The balance of victory and defeat in the war was determined in such a moment. Originally, the federal fleet made a mistake. Their cruisers and fighter groups were too close. This was obviously not suitable for controlling the rhythm of a huge force in a regular battle. But now, Under the command of a keen federal commander, this flaw became a means of gaining advantage!

Unexpectedly, the federal fighter jets would overwhelm the Gacharin Imperial fighter jet group that had passed their own cruiser cluster. The suddenly dispersed federal cruisers used intensive firepower and strong penetration to force the Imperial fighter jets to scatter and evade. At this time, they The Federation fighter planes that suddenly appeared behind the cruiser used a neat formation to stare at the scattered Imperial fighter planes. They did not dare to live up to the trust of the officers and soldiers on the battleship who used their bodies to resist enemy fire, so they seized this fleeting moment. fighter plane!

Yes, the Federation battleship is using its body to resist the gunfire, buying time for the cruisers and fighter groups on both wings.

There was no obstacle in front of them. The aggressive Imperial cruiser group rushed towards the Federation battleship formation at high speed. The weak Federation fleet began to use its life to change the formation. The aircraft carrier was tightly protected. The battleship's main gun ignored the opponent's artillery fire and fired with all its strength. Kill the approaching cruiser at high speed.

If the federal battleship formation is penetrated by an enemy cruiser, and the federal cruiser and fighter jet mixed group cannot carry out a devastating blow to the enemy fighter group, then the balance of victory and defeat will suddenly tilt towards the Gacharin Empire.

The Federation fighters did it. Their mixed fleet quickly destroyed the enemy's fighter planes. The cruiser's main gun and the fighter group cooperated very well. A cruiser cooperated with a fighter formation to fight against several Imperial fighters that had lost their formation. The result was self-evident. metaphorical.

The empire's cruisers are constantly accelerating, and they are also competing for time. They must break into the enemy's battleship defense array before their own fighter group is broken through. As long as the enemy's battleships are scattered, our own battleships can be released without the threat of artillery fire. Greater firepower, or leave the range to delay the return of your own fleet and cruisers.

What they didn't know was that their own fleet could no longer help them. From the moment they dispersed, the fleet fell into the trap of being forced to fight on their own. There was no cooperation, no unified coordination, and no key breakthrough direction. Once targeted by a formation of fighter jets cooperating with cruisers, there is only one outcome, and that is to turn into a ball of fireworks in the black space.

The federal battleships completed their formation change when the enemy's assault was less than a thousand kilometers away. Two-thirds of the battleships retreated while re-aiming their main guns at the enemy battleships to maintain a firepower confrontation against the enemy battleships. The other third The battleships began to turn, they would use their bodies to cover the main force, and use a larger number of secondary guns on the sides to resist the assault of the imperial cruiser.
