Chapter 8: Sakura's Might
Putting down the information in his hand, McClain was still a little unconvinced, he moved his weak legs and walked to the screen with difficulty, looking at the picture on the screen, he was stunned again.
It stands to reason that as a military boss who controls the 170,000 warships of the second most powerful country in the Southern Universe, McLean's psychological quality is not so bad. But what kind of intelligence can make him soft like this?
On the screen of the light brain, the center is the huge body of the super force unicorn fortress, but at one end of the fortress, the super fortress main cannon is not constantly gathering and releasing energy as before, countless energy is pouring into the main cannon through thousands of energy channels, and the brilliant blue light of the breach seems to be telling everyone here: Lao Tzu is going to be powerful, and those who want to live are out of the way for Lao Tzu!
Outside the fortress was the fleet of the New Americans.
The three fleets are bombarding the surface of the fortress by dropping mechs on one side and activating various weapons such as main guns, secondary guns, and missiles. But the effect was very poor, the Chu Tang mecha troops suddenly appeared before, slaughtered most of the New American Marine troops gathered in the passage, and cleaned up the vicinity of the entrance of the passage, and hid in the passage again without waiting for the three fleets to arrive, so that the New American fleet could only stare dryly, and after a dense bombardment, not a single New American mecha warrior was killed, but accidentally hit a lot of New American soldiers who were not killed by Chu Tang.
In addition to these three fleets, the rest of the New American fleet was now fully battle-ready, and all the warships were facing away from the fortress. Because on their front, there were a full ten Chutang fleets. And judging from the fleet structure and warship models, these ten fleets are undoubtedly the main fleet of Chu Tang, and the one used is the new warship [Wumu class] newly developed by Chu Tang!
That's right, it's Chu Tang's main fleet!
McLean first looked at the super cannon that was being charged on the fortress, and then looked at the ten main fleets of Chu Tang that suddenly appeared, and suddenly screamed, trembling his finger at the screen and shouted: "Damn, we have fallen into a trap!" Damn, these battleships must have been hidden next to the fortress in advance with Mie particles, waiting for us to surround them! And the main cannon, I knew that the [Qilin] light brain of the fortress must have been repaired a long time ago...... No, maybe even the previous problems with the fortress were meant to lure us! ”
There was a sudden silence in the command room, and the officers and soldiers who were busy without exception turned their heads and stared blankly at their defense ministers. Not because of the five-star general's gaffe, but because of what he said.
“…… Caught in the trap...... Main Gun ...... Seduce ......"
These words reached the ears of these officers and soldiers, and immediately, everyone in the command room understood that their fleet, under the leadership of this five-star admiral, swaggered headlong into the trap laid by the Chu Tang people using the unicorn fortress!
After McClain's hysterical roar, he suddenly came back to his senses, what had he done!
Such morale-damaging news, even if he has seen it, he can't say it casually. If the spread spreads, it will cause panic throughout the fleet. At that time, even if the number of Venus on his shoulders doubled, he would not be able to control all the fleets.
He took a deep breath, suddenly calmed down, swept his cold gaze across the command room, violently pulled out the beam gun on his waist, skillfully opened the safety propulsion energy box, and raised it casually, and at the same time as a beam of light shot out, a miserable scream resounded throughout the command room. The officers and soldiers who were alarmed by the screams turned their heads to see that a soldier in charge of intelligence collection and sorting was lying on the ground and convulsing, and there was a thumb-thick charred black hole on his forehead.
"Hmph, dare to divulge a secret in front of me, damn it!"
McLean said coldly, his eyes swept over everyone, and everyone he saw shivered, and some of the people who were still thinking of sending the news of the encirclement of the fleet to their friends or classmates in other fleets suddenly lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to let out the atmosphere.
"What you saw and heard just now was in my stomach." McKellen said coldly: "If I see someone using a private channel again, I will just throw him into space." ”
There was a sudden silence in the command room, and McKellen shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, work for me immediately!" ”
After the roar, McLean glanced at those officers and soldiers, snorted coldly, and looked at the main fleet of Chu Tang that was approaching at high speed on the big screen, his brows furrowed tightly. These Chutang fleets were very close to the fortress, and they had previously wrapped all the fleets with Mie particles that could isolate detection and communication and hid them near the fortress, but now they all appeared, a full 150,000 warships, and goodbye to the several local fleets used to confuse, the total number was nearly 200,000, and the situation was very serious.
Looking at the distance, in about ten minutes at most, these 150,000 Wumu-class warships will enter the firing range. And what made him even more helpless was that the strongest weapon in the Southern Universe, "Unicorn Horn", which was built with a lot of money from the New United States, was also being charged at a high speed, and according to the calculation results of the light brain, it would be launched in about ten minutes!
With the spherical encirclement formation of the New American Fleet, this cannon can turn at least one fleet into space garbage.
Therefore, there are only ten minutes left for McClain to make a decision.
After a moment's hesitation, a hint of determination appeared on McLean's face. In the end, he decided not to retreat!
A retreat would most likely save the lives of some of the warships and Federation soldiers, but his political career would undoubtedly end there, and he might even be court-martialed. That result is better than death for McLean, who has fought all his life.
Therefore, he decided to fight for that glimmer of life, as long as he can attack the Unicorn Fortress, then even if he loses everything, with the Unicorn Fortress in hand, he is still a hero of New America.
At this moment, McLean is like a gambler who has pressed his entire net worth. Not only did he press everything on himself, but he also pressed on the 170,000 warships, millions of mechs and warplanes, and tens of millions of soldiers of the New America......
……
"No, the Federation fleet hasn't retreated yet?" Yun Yi looked at the image on the light brain screen in a daze, and exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Jiaoyang next to him was also looking at the screen, he shook his head and said: "I still know McLean well, although on the surface, he is cautious and cunning like a fox. But in fact, in his bones, it is completely the mentality of a gambler. It seems that this guy is already planning to fight hard. ”
Desperately, it means a huge casualty.
Yun Yi raised his head and said, "Marshal, isn't it time to turn on the fortress's anti-air defense weapons?" ”
As a fortress, this all-metal planet has not only superweapons such as the "Unicorn Horn", but also a variety of other main guns, missiles and other weapons against the approaching battleship. Although the Federation fleet and the fortress are not far away at the moment, at least half of the weapons can damage them.
"Don't worry, it's not time to use these weapons yet."
Lin Jiaoyang said lightly. Speaking of which, what Lin Jiaoyang admires most about Yunyi is his calmness. No matter what it is, he can approach everything calmly. Previously, when the New American Marine Corps destroyed the passage and there were still five gates left, almost all the officers anxiously asked the marshal to give the order to attack, but Lin Jiaoyang was still as steady as Mount Tai and was unmoved, and did not launch an attack until there were three gates left, and the effect was obvious. The sudden attack annihilated all the new American soldiers who had penetrated deep into the passage, and they did not even have time to escape back to the surface of the fortress.
The hidden fleet has appeared, and the signal shield of the fortress can be opened.
The commanders of the various fleets sitting here immediately got in touch with their own fleets, and under the unified command of Lin Jiaoyang, the huge scale of 150,000 warships, like a mountain, pressed towards the New American Fleet guarding the unicorn fortress.
It's closer, it's closer......
"Shoot!"
This voice came from the countless battleships in Chu Tang that had entered the range of the main gun! With the roar of the captains of these warships, the overwhelming beam clusters formed a linear light curtain, and the burst of countless energies illuminated the entire Unicorn Fortress with a bright and super bright light, making the Unicorn Fortress even more dazzling than a star at the nearest distance.
The beam attack of more than 100,000 battleship guns immediately produced an extraordinary effect.
Countless explosions of light flickered at the forefront of the New American fleet, and the light from the explosions even overshadowed the beam of the main gun just now. The energy fluctuations generated by the high-density explosion connected into a huge wave and spread out in all directions, causing the nearby New American battleship to shake violently, causing the lock that had been completed to suddenly become invalid, and it could only be re-locked until the battleship stabilized slightly.
In the first wave of attacks, at least nearly 30,000 New American warships were destroyed, which was more than the full strength of the two fleets. In other words, of the 12 fleets brought by McLean to attack 170,000 warships, one-sixth had completely withdrawn from New America in this salvo.
The effect of one blow was seen, and suddenly countless cheers erupted among Chu Tang's ships. Both soldiers and officers were encouraged by the strength of the first blow.
In the attack of a large group, whichever side shoots the first shot first will seize the initiative on the battlefield. Killing the enemy's living forces before they can exert their strength and depleting their strength is the essence of fleet warfare.
Unlike the excited roars of these captains and fleet commanders, almost everyone in the battleships on the side of the New American Fleet looked at the battleships that exploded one after another.
In the flagship, McLean was dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and he roared angrily: "Are those guys from the Federal Military Intelligence Agency all idiots? He even told me that the range of the main gun of the [Wumu class] is the same as that of the [Weilong class]! Damn, I really want his FMILA bunch of waste to be stuffed into the main guns of the Chutang battleship and make them stare at it with wide eyes and take a good look, is this the fucking range of the Weilong class? ”
In fact, at the beginning of the design, the range of the main guns of the Wumu-class battleships was nearly one-tenth higher than that of the Weilong-class. But under Lin Jiaoyang's deliberate concealment, almost no one knows about this data. Moreover, Lin Jiaoyang also warned Yunyi that he must not tell anyone the data of the range of the main gun. Even if Yun Yi led two fleets to the Lekima Federation to fight, it did not exceed the range of the main guns of the Weilong class.
Therefore, this attack can be launched outside the range of the Federation fleet, and he will be caught off guard in one fell swoop.
The advantages of long range are clear to everyone. But it's one thing to understand, it's another thing to want to create a main gun with a long range. After the range of the main gun reaches a certain distance, if you want to increase it by another kilometer, you have to pay several times the money. Therefore, including Chutang, New America, and the various countries in the Southern Universe that have large warships, the range is basically the same, even if it is bad, it is not much worse.
But the Wumu class is different, his structural design data was obtained by Yunyi from Paradise Island, one of the four major organizations, and he has an innate advantage that other warships cannot match. The stable structure allows the Wumu-class warships to have a range of their main guns that is much higher than that of other ships. Although the cost of a single battleship is three or four times higher than that of the Weilong class, it is still acceptable to the wealthy Chu and Tang Empire.
Chu Tang spent nearly a trillion dollars to build a powerful force, and at this moment, it finally showed its fangs.
Having lost the parity in range, McLean knew that this battle could no longer be solved by the two armies taking turns shooting at each other.
At this time, McLean calmed down, his mind racing, thinking of solutions.
"Order, the Eighth, Ninth, and Thirteenth Fleets continue to attack the fortress, and it is imperative that the fortress be taken in the shortest possible time. The Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets carried out space suppression of the fortress, focusing on the position of the main guns of the fortress. All the other fleets, the target Chu Tang main fleet, rush me at top speed, be sure to drag them into range of our main guns before their next main gun salvo! ”
It is undeniable that such an approach is undoubtedly the most correct. The three fleets that attacked the fortress continued to attack, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh fleets suffered very heavy losses in the attack just now, and were basically half-crippled. Even if they engage the enemy, it is not much use, it is better to leave them behind to assist the fleet attacking the fortress. And the rest of the fleet is swarmed and does not have an advantage in range, so get close! As long as it is possible to get into range of the main gun before the next salvo, then the advantage in range will no longer exist.
Of course, this so-called "correct" is only in general.
The battlefield is ever-changing, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.
As for the Super Fortress cannon, which was about to be fully charged, McKellen had no choice but to pray to God that the first shot would not hit his ship.
After McLean gave the order, the formation that originally formed a spherical encirclement of the fortress suddenly changed. Because they were going to get closer, they would inevitably not be able to continue the encirclement, so these warships pushed their speed to the maximum, and pounced on the Chutang fleet not far away from the four sides of the fortress. In order to form the fastest speed, the distance between the warships in each fleet was very loose, so that the required range of advance was also increased, so it was inevitable that many fleets would approach the fortress......
"Cloud Wing, activate all the fortress defense systems and give them a blossom inside and out!"
Yun Yi, who was sitting in front of the light brain, had been waiting for Lin Jiaoyang's words for a long time, and immediately issued one order after another. In the eyes of others, he was remotely controlling the [Qilin] host through the light brain, but in fact, these orders were just pretending, from the moment Lin Jiaoyang gave the order, the [Sakura] hidden in the light brain had already activated all the weapons in the shortest possible time.
In just an instant, the surface of the fortress, which had been carpet-bombed by three fleets and had not made any waves, suddenly changed dramatically. Countless pieces of superalloy steel plates, which were several times thicker than the outer armor of flagship-level warships, were turned up one by one, revealing dark hollows. The officers and men of the three fleets that were bombarding the fortress looked at this change in confusion, and they were all a little confused.
Just because they don't understand doesn't mean that no one understands.
The upper echelons of the three fleets, as well as those technicians, suddenly understood what this fortress was going to do, and their faces changed drastically.
"Retreat, give me the fastest speed to step back!"
A commander shouted hoarsely, his forehead covered with cold sweat in such a short period of time.
His adjutant hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Commander, the order of the commander-in-chief is for us to continue the attack ......"
The commander grabbed the adjutant by the collar and shouted, "Fucking life, what else to attack!" Give me ...... back."
Before the words fell, countless beam cannons were seen slowly rising from those pitch-black holes, and the rich blue of the muzzle told everyone that it had completed its charge!
Yun Yi quietly typed on the screen: "Sakura, lock the attack and weapon control system, I'll leave it to you, no problem, right?" ”
Soon, a line of colorful text appeared on the screen: "Don't worry, boss." Leave it to Sakura, and I'll make sure there are no problems! ”
Yun Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile in his heart: "This guy, the change is too great." ”
Inside the fortress, there are naturally soldiers who control these weapons and lock on to the enemy warships, but if you use people to operate them, there will inevitably be errors. Even if these soldiers in the fortress have all gone through years of hard training, they will definitely not be able to compare to the super artificial intelligence [Sakura] in terms of accuracy and opportunity.
Large-caliber beam main guns, medium-caliber beam main guns, magnetically conductive particle bombs, and various missile torpedoes emerged from the ground in a very neat manner under the control of [Sakura]. At the same time as it appeared, the lock had already been completed, and under the calculation of [Sakura], each weapon could exert its most powerful ability. For example, the longest-range range of the large-caliber beam main gun will lock on to the farthest battleship, and some missiles have a shorter range, so they will be used to attack the enemy at close range, and some weapons are not powerful enough to bombard a battleship, but under the control of [Sakura], several weapons lock on to a target at the same time, which will not be wasted, and can also play the greatest killing role.
Suddenly, the entire fortress was like a big hedgehog, and countless beams of various colors, missiles, particles, and magnetic energy burst out in all directions.
Everyone in the conference room, even Lin Jiaoyang, all opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at the overwhelming artillery fire and explosions on the screen. After a long time, Lin Jiaoyang looked at Yan Zhongfei and said approvingly: "Old Yan, in the past few years that the Unicorn Fortress has been in your hands, the changes are really too great, and I have never seen such a neat and accurate attack." I'm afraid even the main gunners of the Royal Fleet can't compare. ”
The commander of the fortress, Yan Zhongfei, was also stunned, he touched his head, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that these rabbit cubs suddenly opened up today? Hehe, no matter so much, anyway, Lao Tzu showed his face today, go back and reward them well.
It's just that they don't know that the fortress weapon control center at this time is also stunned.
