Chapter 306: Air Combat
"Another space wormhole has been opened, and the distance between the two sides is only more than 7,000 kilometers, Seymour is really bold enough......" Morgana's half-crossing against the Dark Council coalition was unexpectedly successful, and the fleet of the Republic of Dortcara was unexpectedly crowded at the space wormhole for fear of being destroyed, avoiding the shelling and causing the route to be blocked, which made it impossible for the fleet supported by the Tammy Empire to further deteriorate the battle situation through the wormhole.
In fact, such a huge space wormhole, even if the Dark Council has more than 200,000 warships, if you want to complete the jump, an hour is more than enough, if the Republic of Dortcara can be stable and not chaotic after being attacked, then it will not take long for the situation to be reversed, but unfortunately, the current situation has to force Seymour to take the risk of opening the second wormhole to export troops.
At this time, the other space wormhole opened by the swarm is also less than 5,000 kilometers away from the Dark Council Alliance, which means that three fleet-level space wormholes have been opened in this small space range, and it can be said that the space here has become extremely unstable, but in any case, the Dark Council Alliance has opened a catharsis that can fight back against the swarm......
The wormholes opened by the Zerg, countless jumping insects with long teeth and five claws pounced on the fleet of the Dark Council Alliance, and although the fleet of the Republic of Dotkara fell into chaos due to the shelling of the Zerg fleet, the commanders of some warships were still sober-minded, so there was no situation where they did not fight back at all.
One after another scorching rays of light cannons emanated from the battleship's anti-aircraft guns, which were faster than the main guns, and the rate of fire was much faster, and an average of two seconds of artillery bombardment could often cause dozens of swarms to be killed or wounded. Because there are so many bugs. The energy rays of the anti-aircraft guns also spread out in all directions after touching the target due to the lack of convergence, resulting in unexpectedly large-scale casualties.
However, it is a pity that because the formation is too scattered, the battleships that want to attack the swarm cannot find the angle, and the battleships that want to escape obstruct the view of the battleships that want to counterattack. Therefore, there are less than 4,000 warships that can really attack the swarm gathered near the spatial wormhole. But even the 4,000 ships were extremely spectacular on the scene, and almost every second, tens of thousands of light cannons rained into the swarm and burst into brilliant sparks.
Such a dense attack naturally caused extremely serious casualties to the swarm, but unfortunately, the number of swarms had long exceeded the strength of the battleship's counterattack, although the battle had only lasted less than five minutes, hundreds of thousands of swarms had already approached the safety of the battleship.
"Damn, let's eject the fighter planes out quickly, we can't let them approach unscrupulously." A fleet commander in the Republic of Dortcara said angrily.
"But General, our fleet has been routed. I don't know how many more ship commanders will follow your orders. The signal soldier said cautiously looking at the commander's face.
His fleet was one of the vanguard units sent by the military of the Republic of Dotcarra, but unfortunately he was scattered by the panicked friendly forces as soon as he passed through the wormhole, and when his allies began to break up, his fleet, which still maintained a certain formation, naturally became the next target of the Zerg warship. Stormy blows followed.
Under normal circumstances, when the two sides are engaged in an artillery battle with the elite level of the Northern Military District of the Republic of Dotcarra, the soldiers of the Republic of Dortcara can hold out until six to seven percent of the casualties before there will be a rout, but if there is a situation where it is impossible to counterattack, then only about thirty percent of the casualties will be defeated.
But now the morale of the Republic of Dortcara has fallen to the bottom because of the Sinal incident, so the formation was broken up as soon as it was shelled. Over the next two minutes, the fleet suffered more than 10 percent casualties. Originally, the commander still felt that he could bear it, but who knew that with the retreat of a friendly fleet, his fleet would also retreat to the rear with the current......
Now there were only more than 300 warships left by his side, and the commanders of these warships were mostly his loyal subordinates, and the commanders of these warships did not abandon him without his flagship retreating. However, then the messages they sent on the communication channel were all persuasion to retreat, but the stubborn commander did not listen to the advice of his subordinates and insisted on putting the fleet at the forefront.
Later, as more and more of the fleet of the Republic of Dotcara passed through the wormhole, the attacks of the Zerg main artillery began to disperse, and the damage caused to his remaining fleet became smaller and smaller. And because his fleet itself has been defeated, there are not a few warships left, so the attention of the Zerg is not too focused here, so his life is getting better and better, and even some fleets that have already collapsed have rejoined his command sequence.
Now, although most of the warships under him can still receive his orders, the battleships have been broken and scattered, and they cannot effectively command at all, so the troops in his hands are only a pitiful 400 or so. This is not at all comparable to the fleet that he would have been able to command two thousand eight hundred warships.
"I can't care so much. The opposing fighters are about to rush into our formation, and if you can't stop them, you should know the consequences. The commander stared at the Zerg formation in the three-dimensional battlefield map and said.
The Air Combat Swarm essentially functions the same as their fighters. Under normal circumstances, a simple group of fighters cannot break through the fire blockade of battleships, especially when the number of warships reaches more than 30,000, even if the opponent has more fighters, it will not be able to survive under the coverage of the anti-aircraft fire of the battleship.
After all, compared to the extremely strong energy shield of the battleship, the shield value of the fighter is extremely limited, as long as it is hit head-on by the anti-aircraft gun, it will definitely be finished, and the poor shield on the fighter can only be used to block stray bullets and physical bullets. However, the destructive power of the fighter should not be underestimated, although the shield strength of the battleship is extremely high, but the ants bite to death, although the Republic of Dortcara sent all third-level warships this time, once the number of swarms reaches a certain level, it is not impossible to break through the energy shield.
The commander insisted on catapulting the fighter to send the messenger to death, but there was no way to do it, so he had to give the order to catapult the fighter. At the same time, more than 3,000 other warships of other fleets that fought side by side with him also began to catapult fighters, using fighters as cover and anti-aircraft guns is the best way to intercept fighters.
The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the winged snake that had passed through the rain of bullets finally began to vent its anger, and wave after wave of bone spurs were sprayed out at extremely fast speed, like a downpour, smashing into the 4,000 warships that were still making their last resistance. However, these bone spurs, which can easily penetrate tens of centimeters of steel plates, can only produce a little ripple on the shield of the battleship of the Republic of Dotcarra, and the effect is not very good.
Although this is a good start, because the swarm that has been under attack has started its own counterattack, which means that the battleship can no longer pour fire on the swarm as it did at the beginning.
"Attack, rapid fire, damn you don't need to aim, you just need to fire." In the bombardment room of an anti-aircraft cluster of a battleship, the commander of the anti-aircraft gun angrily reprimanded his ten gunners, although he did not think that those bugs could break through the shields of the battleship, but the dense number of horrors did make him very afraid.
"What else do you want our gunners to do?" An anti-aircraft gunner stood up suddenly, it turned out that he had adjusted the anti-aircraft gun to the automatic attack mode, which is more accurate and faster than the manual mode automatic attack mode, but it will become useless under strong radiation and deliberate interference from the enemy, so the battleship is generally equipped with a corresponding gunner instead of relying entirely on the light brain for automatic shooting, and in order to cultivate the gunner's ability, the automatic attack mode will not be turned on under normal circumstances.
The officer opened his mouth to scold him, but he didn't know what to say, he was right, in this case it was really better to manually operate the battery than to attack it automatically......
A jumping insect flapped its wings and swooped down on a silver-gray T-shaped Dortcara Republic fighter, its sharp claws slashing a series of sparks on its shield, although its claws were also burned to ashes by the shield's highly scorching energy, but the fighter's shield also swayed from that attack.
A series of bone spurs slammed into the plane's shield, "Bang bang! The voice made the pilot's heart thump, and when he looked down to see that the number representing the shield value had dropped to fifty percent, his heart suddenly sank. With a beautiful flip of the fighter, the muzzle of the machine gun was aimed at the jumping worm whose hands were burned black, and a string of Thor bullets directly tore the body of the jumping insect to pieces, and the green blood splattered on the fighter shield with an ugly "hissing" sound.
He didn't pause, but took advantage of the situation to easily kill the other three winged snakes that had sneaked up on him, but before he could relax, the other jumping worm pounced on his plane shield.
"Damn it!" The pilot of the fighter plane pressed the trigger fiercely, and a barrage of laser bullets poured out like a downpour...... But his madness didn't continue, and a dozen hoppers swooped down on its shield, this time extinguishing it with only two flickers of the swift claws.
In less than three seconds, the hard fuselage of the fighter plane was dismembered by the hoppers, and the fighter operator in the space combat suit was dismembered by the scarlet-eyed hoppers, and he even roared in the communication channel when his intestines were torn out...... (To be continued......)
