The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1688. Battle of Dawn (6)

"Brothers! Kill me!!" Dryden Vos roared loudly, and the battleships of Blood Dawn also began to accelerate forward, pouring all their firepower towards the fleet of the Galactic Republic.

These vicious gangsters are usually lawless and they have a natural hatred for order. Now that I have the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, I will naturally vent the rage in my heart completely.

Other warships of various sizes, including White Worm, gangs, mercenaries, bounty hunters, and smugglers, were not to be outdone and launched attacks one after another.

Some small groups even only had 3 or 4 small frigates, but they were still extremely fierce, finding opportunities to open fire on Republic warships.

The battle was turned into a complete mess almost from the beginning. Under the impact of thousands of small high-speed battleships, the Republic fleet was originally divided into two parts to prepare for a raid on the two poles of the Dawn Planet, and then at the star ring defense facilities. Gradually dispersed under the shooting.

Now they were facing attacks from thousands of small warships, and soon they were fighting independently.

And such a battlefield situation is fatal to the Jaeger-class battlecruiser!

The Hunter class is not good at melee combat!

The eight main guns, which were too few in number and in odd positions, were completely powerless in the face of attacks from all directions. Even more deadly was Commander-in-Chief Casio Tagana's order to take off all fighter jets.

This order requires all 65 Jaeger-class battlecruisers to fully unfold the bow hangar platform to quickly release fighter jets. This not only further interferes with the firing angle of the main gun, but also makes the hangar platform become a The biggest weakness!

And those small warships took this opportunity to rush directly into the formation of the Republic fleet, turning the battle into a melee!

A large number of Galactic Republic fighter jets took off in dense formation. In order to speed up the take-off, many fighter jets did not even have time to use electromagnetic ejection devices to accelerate, and directly used anti-gravity engines to take off. But in this case, the fighter will also experience an acceleration process, and the fighter at this time is very vulnerable.

Normally, it would be difficult for ordinary enemies to seize such a fighter opportunity, but the problem is that today's enemies are not ordinary!

Among this miscellaneous fleet, there are many Reckless-class and Spear-class light frigates that have been retired from the frontline navy of the Principality of Dawn. This kind of frigate was originally designed to annihilate enemy fighter formations, and now it has once again exerted its residual heat on the battlefield of Dawn Planet.

But what is even more deadly are the more than 300 Rift-class frigates brought by the Hutt Oruba Gorensla! This kind of frigate has speed and agility comparable to that of fighter jets, and its firepower is comparable to that of heavy frigates. Facing those Republic fighter jets that are still gradually accelerating, it is like a tiger rushing into a herd!

I only saw a Rift-class frigate rushing towards a Chasseur-class battlecruiser at high speed. The three 150mm caliber projectile cannons on the frigate fired dozens of shells in an instant. The shells directly shred several Vs that were taking off. -19 Riptide fighter jet, and its powerful kinetic energy was still intact. It shot into the Jaeger-class hangar platform and caused a violent explosion.

Seeing that the Jaeger-class ship was already in a state of shield overload, the gangster member of the Gorensla family who was driving the Rift-class frigate laughed ferociously, and dived directly to break in through the widely opened hangar platform hatch of the Jaeger-class ship. , after passing through the air-tight shield, the three 150mm caliber projectile cannons directly started the strafing mode!

Boom boom boom boom boom! ! ! A series of explosions set off in the Jaeger-class hangar, and the fighter jets and a large number of ground crews that had not had time to take off were all torn to pieces by this powerful force!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! ! ! Under the isolation of the air-tight shield, there was air in the hangar platform. The Rift-class engine made a hoarse roar in the air. The next second, the battleship passed through the air-tight shield and flew into the vacuum of space again. The terrible sound stopped suddenly.

Only the Jaeger-class cruiser was left in a panic. A fire broke out in its hangar platform, and the warship was trying to close the hatch to put out the fire. Some of the surrounding fighter jets that had taken off first were now unable to return to their own warships.

But the battleship's bad luck is not over yet!

A Higra-class battlecruiser in the distance had already set its sights on it. After cutting in at high speed, the two particle beam cannons on the bow of the ship opened fire instantly! This shot was very accurate. It was fired directly from the unclosed hangar door, directly penetrating the devastated hangar platform!

The overwhelmed Jaeger-class battlecruiser finally triggered a series of explosions during this attack, and was then directly blown into two pieces!

This is a 4000 versus 66 battle! Casio Tag's two battle groups of 60 Jaeger-class ships, plus its own flagship Commander-class dreadnought and escorting five Jaeger-class ships. Such a force, even with the cover of 20,000 fighter jets, is still trapped in desperate chaos fighting on their own.

What's more, the condition of those fighter jets is also very bad!

The first was the first batch of more than 2,000 fighter jets that took off. These fighter jets were the small group of fighter jets that initially took off against the Dawn Planet, and later took off to carry out bombing missions against the star ring. Now they have exhausted their weapons and energy and are preparing to return. However, when they return, they find that all the Republic warships are taking off fighter jets. They have no chance to return to their own warships!

So when these more than 2,000 fighter jets were attacked by Rift-class frigates, they became the first victims without the ability to fight back.

Forget about more than 2,000 fighter jets, but you must know that these 2,000 fighter jets protect 400 Y-wing bombers! This is a very precious heavy firepower strike platform!

After all 400 Y-wing bombers were destroyed and destroyed, one-third of the bombers in the Galactic Republic's fleet were given away for nothing.

But this is not the end. After more than 10,000 fighter jets that successfully took off successively joined the battle, many of the fighter jets were injured and wanted to return, but they were also unable to return. Because only then did they realize that the battleships they belonged to were retreating and dodging. Many of them simply closed the hangar doors under the constant attacks of those frigates!

Only then did these pilots suddenly realize that in this battle, they had become disposable consumables!

However, thanks to the brave fighting of these consumables, the Republic fleet was able to barely stabilize the situation. But this temporary balance of power is mainly brought about by the more than 10,000 fighter jets! And how long can these fighter jets last?

What is certain is that it is definitely inferior to those ferocious small battleships!
