Thirty-two large turrets, without shield protection, can only rely on the external armor of the turret to resist the high temperature of the plasma weapons, fortunately, the firepower of the shipborne fighters of the Sijing people cannot be compared with the naval guns, and the dense plasma hits the armor of those large turrets, but it only burns out holes the size of footballs!

Although there are many potholes, they can't cause any serious damage to the structure of the battery itself, and those light fighters carried by the Sijing planetary assault carrier can only concentrate their fire on a certain point of the armor of the battery, so that under the continuous fire, the heavy armor plate can be melted and destroyed to the structure inside!

Seven planetary assault carriers, a total of 5,600 light fighters, managed to destroy only twelve large electromagnetic orbital batteries after a round of intensive attacks!

At the same time as the Sijing people sent fighter jets to attack, the Iron Eagle Moon Base, all kinds of anti-aircraft firepower hidden in the base and various places on the lunar surface were also opened, and a large number of missiles were fired at laser cannons and medium and small electromagnetic railguns, with more fierce return fire, attacking those Sijing light fighters who were overwhelmingly attacking!

When the twelve large electromagnetic railguns were destroyed by the Sijing people, various dense explosions also appeared in the sky above the base, and a large number of Sijing light fighters were destroyed in the air!

A large number of dense debris even formed a cloud-like scene, slowly falling above the lunar base!

Then, sixteen large pulse laser cannons hidden behind the large electromagnetic orbital turret also fired, and due to the excessive concentration and power of the energy, the bright blue light flashed, penetrating the cloud layer formed by the fragments of the fighter plane, and hitting several planetary assault motherships in the air that were changing orbits!

A planetary assault mothership was attacked by six laser beams, and its huge body with a length of six hundred meters appeared in multiple penetrating wounds under the shooting of high-energy lasers for several seconds, and the largest one almost broke this huge starship with a width of more than 100 meters!

The other three ships were more or less burned by the pulsed laser cannon and had several equally shocking holes!

The only thing they were better than the first planetary assault mothership that was smashed to pieces was that they only suffered penetrating wounds, and the laser was shot into the air from below, and it didn't last long, if you didn't concentrate on attacking one location, the laser beam would be wasted after shooting through the hull, and it would be wasted in the void, and no more damage could be done!

These pulsed laser cannons can easily drill a hole in the shield of the Sjervan starship and continue to burrow more wounds into the hull, but as long as they don't hit a critical location such as the Energy Center, they will not do as much damage as an electromagnetic railgun using live ammunition. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Therefore, as soon as the light of the large pulse laser cannon disappeared, the remaining nearly twenty large electromagnetic railguns opened fire again, and the shells flew directly towards the four planetary assault motherships that were injured by the large pulse laser cannons!

Originally, in order to successfully raid Iron Eagle's lunar base, the Sijing people used wormhole teleportation to teleport the fleet directly to a vertical position only more than 3,000 meters above the lunar base! Originally, this position could catch the Iron Eagle Moon Base by surprise, and if it didn't have time to react, it was very likely that the base would be directly destroyed under a wave of attack!

However, when the moon base had taken precautions in advance, entered a combat state and waited for the appearance of the Sijing fleet, and used the pre-design of the base structure to successfully survive the first round of strikes during the close attack of the Sijing people, and entered the stage of counterattack!

Therefore, even if the current position of the Sijing fleet, even if the first planetary assault carrier was instantly destroyed by the concentrated fire attack of thirty-two large electromagnetic orbital batteries, the entire fleet began to move away from the current position extremely close to the defensive firepower of the base, but the two sides have been fighting for such a short time, it is impossible for them to transfer the fleet to a higher and farther orbit in such a short period of time to avoid the defensive fire of the lunar base!

So an embarrassing situation happened, the planetary assault mothership that was almost interrupted by a large pulsed laser cannon was attacked by more than 20 armor-piercing shells fired at high speed at a position of three or four thousand meters, and the starship, which was already seriously injured, was directly broken into three sections in the violent explosion, and a large number of wreckage fell towards the surface of the moon with the blue flames produced by the continuous explosion!

This caused chaos on the lunar base, and in the face of those large wreckage, they could only use laser weapons and medium electromagnetic railguns to break them into smaller pieces before they landed, so as to avoid the shock caused by the large amount of debris falling to the ground and destroying the underground base structure! This is another situation that neither the Crystal Fleet nor the Iron Eagle Moon Base had expected in advance!

It was also through this chaos that the remaining Starships of the Crystal Man finally succeeded in raising the position of the fleet and entering a higher orbit, gaining more time to adjust their combat deployment.

There was a temporary halt in the fighting. Results of the preliminary engagement between the two sides:

On the side of the Sijing people, of the eight planetary assault motherships dispatched, two were completely destroyed in two of them, three were seriously damaged, and the remaining three were not seriously damaged, but they could not be regarded as intact.

As for the Iron Eagle Lunar Base, 32 large electromagnetic rail batteries were completely destroyed in the orbital bombardment and fighter raids, with 6 seriously damaged and 10 lightly injured. Sixteen large pulsed laser cannons were completely destroyed by fighters, two were completely destroyed, and three were slightly damaged. As for those small and medium-sized defensive batteries, whether they are missile launchers, electromagnetic rail batteries, or even laser cannons, the losses are more than three times that of large batteries! Basically, half of the defensive batteries have been lost!

The Sijing people did not expect that the defense force of the Iron Eagle Moon Base would be so strong, and the Iron Eagle did not expect that the Sijing people would carry out wormhole teleportation at such a close distance, and also sent such a number of planetary assault motherships out.

It can be said that the two sides have already fought a lose-lose battle in the two face-to-face firefights.

"Sir, the Sijing fleet has left the low orbit of the moon and is turning to a higher orbit." On the earth, the screen in front of Lin Hai once again appeared a half-length image of Commodore Towin, but it was only about ten minutes of fighting, but the pressure was not small, he looked like he had been fished out of the water, his head was covered with sweat, not to mention, even the military uniform on his body was soaked, "Three lightly injured assault motherships are in front, and three seriously injured are in the back." But the seriously injured assault carriers did not slow down much, and we found that the three lightly injured ones seemed to be dragging the seriously damaged three with an energy field. ”

"Brigadier General, can you refill the gun?" Lin Hai asked, "Even if they are towed by friendly ships, they will definitely not be at the same speed as when they are intact." And when towing, they shouldn't be able to evade the heavy fire of our base as easily as before, right? The distance between the two sides has not yet been widened by hundreds of kilometers. ”

"Because of the location of the batteries, and the angles," Brigadier General Towin said as he uploaded a three-dimensional map to the screen, indicating the range, height, and range of the existing batteries, "only half of the remaining batteries we have can attack them." Missiles are not an exception. I'm going to concentrate all the firepower I can on destroying the three badly wounded ships first. ”

"Can't you hit those three lightly injured first?" Lin Hai asked again, "If we can destroy or seriously injure those three lightly injured planetary assault motherships, then wouldn't the speed of the six planetary assault motherships of the Sijing people be greatly reduced, and we will have a chance to completely annihilate them?" The Sijing people had only been annihilated by us once before, but in such a short period of time, more starships had been recreated. I don't know if that's from the original or if it's new, but just looking at the number of them is a real headache. If we can take the opportunity to annihilate them today, we will have more time to expand our fleet and reduce the mobile strength of the Sijing people. ”

"Sir, it's hard." Towin shook his head and replied, "Although we teleported the fleet directly to our defensive firepower this time because of the misjudgment of the Sijing people, and we were lucky enough to repel their attack with the defensive firepower of the moon base alone, the loss of our base itself is not small. Not to mention the damage to other facilities in the base due to ignition during the battle, the loss of defensive batteries alone was more than half. If the Sijing people have other backup plans, we are afraid that it will be difficult to hold the moon base again. And besides, we can't be sure that we can leave all of the three lightly damaged planetary assault motherships with the firepower we have now. It is not easy to solve the three seriously injured ships. ”

"That's a shame." Lin Hai sighed, "What a great opportunity." Originally, we were exploited by the Sijing people, and they were misjudged to regain our balance, and if we can add a little more force, we can turn this mistake into a big victory. ”

"The battle isn't over yet, sir." Towin said, "Although the fleet of the Sijing people is changing its orbit and looks like it is retreating because of the defeat of the battle, according to the calculation of their sailing routes, their current voyage is only to avoid the defensive fire of the base, and they are not leaving directly. ”

"That's all that, what do they want to do with these battered fleets?" Lin Hai said suspiciously, "Could it be that they still have reinforcements coming?" ”

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Towin said with a serious expression, "The true strength of the Sijing fleet, we don't know it yet, what we can see is only these forces sent by them, if they still have reserves, then this possibility will be real." If what we see now is already all the strength of their current space fleet, then the reason why they don't really withdraw is only afraid of ......"

Towin paused, whispered a few orders to his subordinates, and then re-uploaded a new image, which was a simulated route of movement of the Sijing fleet on the surface of the three-dimensional image of the moon.

He continued: "If they don't have a reinforcement fleet, then it's very likely that they plan to land in the area outside the range of the base's defensive firepower and launch boundary, send out ground combat troops, and continue to attack the moon base." Personally, I'm more inclined to this possibility. ”

"That's not good news!" Hearing this possibility, Lin Hai's face changed drastically and said, "There aren't so many marines in the moon base!" There are only a small number of base garrisons, not even a few tanks! If they change from a fleet attack to a ground attack, with the current guardian force of the lunar base, they will definitely not be able to withstand it! Most of the defensive firepower deployed at the base is only used to defend against orbital attacks. For ground attacks, only a small number of turrets can hit! If it is really as you judge, the moon base ......"

"We'll have to see if Colonel Tagate can return in time." Lin Hai was nervous, but although Commodore Towin's expression was still serious, he didn't feel any nervousness, he said, "Due to the previous surprise attack of the Sijing people's fleet, due to their misjudgment, it led to failure, and their fleet suffered heavy losses, but for us, the time is too short, and ten minutes of engagement repelled their fleet, which gave the Sijing people enough time to change their tactics!" If they can storm the base in an hour and a half, then the fleet will come back and it will be of little use, unless we can order the orbital bombardment of our own base! ”

"What are your plans? Can make the lunar base hold out until the fleet returns? Seeing that there was not much nervous expression on Towin's face, Lin Hai knew that although the other party was scary, there should still be a way to solve the crisis, so he asked directly.

"There aren't many ways, but it should be enough to delay time." As Towin spoke, a large number of green dots of light appeared on the three-dimensional image, moving in a curve from the location of the lunar base towards the Schenter fleet at high speed, and he explained, "Let's destroy the three seriously injured Scyclic Planetary Assault Motherships first. In this way, there are only three starships left in the hands of the Sijing people. Although the Planetary Assault Mothership of the Sijing is large, the same size as our Kodiak-class battle cruisers, after a planetary assault carrier carries 800 light fighters, the remaining space may not be able to accommodate too many ground troops. The number of ground forces carried on the three planetary assault carriers should not exceed the strength of a marine brigade. Of course, this is by our standards. Of course, the actual number should not exceed this standard. The base garrison is indeed not much, but it also has a scale of 1,000 people. I'll arm some more technical troops, and we'll have the same land force. ”

"But you don't have enough heavy equipment." Lin Hai pointed out the problems in Towin's plan, "The moon base is mainly a starship manufacturing base, although there is a manufacturing production line for land combat equipment, but there is not much reserve in advance in peacetime, and most of the ones produced before were given to the ground forces on this side of the earth, and the base itself did not leave anything." Even if you start manufacturing right now, how much can you make in that time? ”
