The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

546 , Bloody Battle Bespin (5)

Before the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Matt Horner gave an order, "Supermatter Electromagnetic Cannon! Fire!!"

Buzz~~~~! ! Strong vibrations can be felt even inside the bridge. The 40m caliber giant supermaterial electromagnetic guns equipped in front of the 50 Cole-class battlecruisers fired instantly, and 50 extremely bright rays of light shot out instantly!

However, what was waiting was a burst of light blue energy light curtains, and all 50 huge solid projectiles were blocked. After this burst of fire covered, what came into view was a total of 60 uniform flat dagger-shaped warships!

Hunter-class battlecruiser!

At this moment, the shields of 8 battleships in the Jaeger-class array have been destroyed, and they are adjusting their formation in an orderly manner to avoid them backwards. At the same time, all the hangar platforms above the Jaeger-class are fully deployed, and fighter jets are overwhelmingly flying over!

"The attack didn't work!" The tactical analyst on the side turned around and said, "The Republic Fleet adjusted the coordinates and escaped from hyperspace 0.03 seconds earlier! This allowed them to avoid the empty mine array we set up for pre-explosion and deployed their shields! "

"Jedi Knight." Matt Horner's expression was a little gloomy. He had heard countless legends about Jedi Knights from Tang Xiao, and today would be the first time he would actually face a Jedi Knight.

Without hesitation, he waved and said, "Fighters take off! Get ready to meet the enemy! All ships fire with all their might!"

All the warships of the Fourth Civilization A Fleet are fully fired. The 4 heavy laser cannons in front of the 50 Cole-class battlecruisers and the two heavy-duty particle beam cannons in front of the 10 Hieglar-class battlecruisers are all firing. Hundreds of bright beams Instantly irradiated on the Republic Fleet.

At the same time, the Galactic Republic fleet also began to fight back, and the main guns of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser arranged on both sides of the bridge fired thick blue blast energy beams.

The empty universe was instantly filled with countless beams of death. As the first batch of 2,000 V-19 Torrent light fighters launched by the Republic opened up and accelerated towards them, the battlefield suddenly became extremely tragic.

The Fourth Civilization took off the first batch of 1,500 vulture robot fighters. These fighters fought under the protection of the battleship's anti-aircraft guns, and they would never go beyond the barriers to fight alone with the Republic fighters.

At this moment, the 100 guard-class air defense ships hidden in the fleet formation of the fourth civilization began to show their power. The 8 point defense laser cannons equipped on the air defense ships continued to fire. Under the aim of the powerful fire control system, countless lasers accurately hit fighter jets of the Republic.

The strangulation of thousands of fighter jets is brutal, but this is only the beginning!

Almost within 5 minutes of the air battle, more than 300 fighter jets from both sides were shot down!

Under the deployment of Matt Horner, all the Fourth Civilization warships stood still, maintaining a frontal posture facing the enemy, and handed over all the sides to their own fighter jets and the guard-class air defense ships next to them for cover.

Lasers and blaster beams continued to fall on the battleships of both sides. A Cole-class battlecruiser had to retreat because its shield was severely damaged, followed by the second ship, the third ship, and the fourth ship. A total of 9 Cole-class battlecruisers and 2 Hieglar-class battlecruisers had their shields destroyed.

In this artillery battle, only four of the Republic's Jaeger-class battlecruisers had their shields penetrated.

"Analyze the combat data of both sides," Matt Horner said.

"After the analysis, the shield strength of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is 47% higher than ours. Our Cole-class main gun and 4 X-ray laser cannons need continuous irradiation, but the Jaeger-class can evenly share the damage from laser irradiation To the shield. In combat, the Higra-class particle beam cannon performs better." The technical director on the side replied immediately.

"Gauss firepower platform! Fire!" Matt Horner gave an order, and the 180 Gauss firepower platforms deployed on the periphery of the planet Bespin broke away from the invisible state, and the two 500mm caliber heavy artillery had already been loaded, aiming at the direction of the Republic Fleet Spit out a long tongue of flame.

At the same time, the 16-unit pulse rocket launcher equipped on the Gauss firepower platform also fired pulse rockets like raindrops!

Suffering a sudden and unexpected blow, the Galactic Republic fleet seemed to be in a brief moment of chaos, but immediately regrouped, and they took off a second batch of fighter jets.

1,000 V-19 torrent light fighters cover 200 BTL-B-Y-wing bombers taking off, ready to start clearing those Gauss firepower platforms.

At this time, the Republic fighter group attacking the Fourth Civilization Fleet began to retreat, and the Hunter-class battlecruiser launched the third batch of fighter jets again, 1,000 V-19 Torrent light fighters and 1,000 Z-95 Headhunter fighters!

Reducing the number of dedicated air superiority V-19s and dispatching Z-95 multi-role fighter jets indicates what the Republic Fleet Commander intends next. He is going to directly attack the warships of the Fourth Civilization.

And seizing this brief gap, the Cole-class battlecruiser of Fourth Civilization A Fleet started charging the supermatter railgun again.

A Gauss firepower platform began to adjust its direction under the action of the steering engine, aiming at a Jaeger-class battlecruiser in front, and the two 500mm caliber heavy guns were loaded, and they fired in one shot!

Two high-explosive shells were launched instantly and hit the Jaeger-level shield. The warhead of the shell reacted violently immediately. The explosive gas quickly burned and exploded to form a plasma cluster, and the shield was burned by millions of degrees of high temperature in an instant. , but was quickly offset by the shield.

Three V-19 Riptide fighters launched an assault on the firepower platform. They dived and fired lasers, hitting the firepower platform's shield for a while. The two point defense laser cannons installed on the top and bottom of the firepower platform are also firing desperately, attacking the incoming fighter jets.

At this time, a Y-wing bomber flew quickly from behind. The Republic pilot in the cockpit was wearing a full-coverage helmet. His expression could not be seen, but he moved calmly and steadily. He lifted the safety cover on the joystick and pressed the launch button. .

A small proton torpedo was launched instantly and hit the Gauss firepower platform accurately!

A cloud of light blue protons spread instantly, followed by a violent explosion. The Gaussian firepower platform that took a day to build was immediately blown into countless fragments.

Before the flames of the explosion here were extinguished by the vacuum, the countless dazzling light beams lit up in the distance immediately overshadowed the explosion.

Hypermaterial electromagnetic gun, the second salvo!

This salvo caused even more tragic results than before. The shield of a Jaeger-class battlecruiser was destroyed, and before it could quit the battle, it was directly pierced by a 40m caliber shell!

The hangar at the front of the battleship was completely torn into pieces by this shell carrying terrible kinetic energy, leaving only the second half of the battleship constantly on fire, burning, exploding, and tilting...Under this terrifying blow, one can only watch So far, less than 10 rescue capsules have been launched, which means that the 7,400 crew members of the entire battleship, except for these few, have all died in the vacuum of the universe.

Not only that, there were two other Jaeger-class battlecruisers that were also penetrated by shells, but because of their location, they were only shot from above and pierced from below. Although they lost their combat capabilities, at least they would not damage the entire battleship. be destroyed.

The Fourth Civilization Fleet also paid the price. During the process of lowering their shields to recharge the supermatter railguns, the two battleships were also hit by concentrated fire from the Republic warships. They were severely damaged and completely lost their ability to move. They became steel coffins. .

Immediately afterwards, the third batch of fighter jets of the Republic arrived, and the tragic air battle began again!
