Volume 3 The Chaotic Present Chapter 127 How to Remove the Onion of the Battleship!
If the Assault Fighter is compared to a hungry wolf with sharp claws, then the float ship is a large beast such as a tiger, brown bear, and elephant that is several times larger than the hungry wolf.
Whether it's a tiger, a brown bear or an elephant, a hungry wolf can be defeated in a one-on-one situation. However, large beasts are accustomed to acting alone, while hungry wolves usually prefer to live in groups. When a large beast acting alone meets a pack of hungry wolves, the victory is self-evident.
The tactics of the assault planes against the floating ships are also like wolves attacking large beasts. Taking advantage of the speed and agility of the assault aircraft, like peeling an onion, first tearing through the anti-aircraft fire net, then paralyzing the ship's detection system, and finally capturing the floating ship.
The main guns on the floating ship are infinitely powerful, and even if the attacking machine soldiers only rub it slightly, if they are lucky, they can still withdraw from the battle sequence with one breath left, and if they are unlucky, they will directly destroy the aircraft and die! If it's a cruiser-level or above main gun, then pray, basically there will be no "whole corpse"!
Compared with the hull of the floating ship that is at least 100 meters high, the attack aircraft unit of less than 20 meters is particularly fragile. Whether it is the main gun or the secondary gun, as long as the attack machine soldier rubs it slightly, it will not die or be disabled! Even the smallest caliber guns on the hull and used for air defense can make the attackers unable to eat and walk around.
However, the main guns of the floating ships are slow to reload, and the turret turns equally slowly. It's hard to lock down the Assault Machine, which is known for its flexibility! Therefore, the main guns on ships are often used to attack ships, and are rarely used to deal with strong attack aircraft. Hitting a fighter with a main gun is almost like using a cannon to hit a mosquito...... No, it's like hitting a sparrow with a cannon.
- Generally speaking, the attack machine force of about 18 meters is still relatively large, and it is not appropriate to use mosquitoes as a metaphor.
Of course, if any of the unlucky raiders were unfortunately hit by the main guns of the floating ships...... This is not a misfortune either. Because death comes in an instant, the feeling of pain simply does not have time to reach the brain. It should be regarded as a "happy" way of death......
As for the secondary guns on the floating ships, the secondary guns are indeed the main force for attacking the attacking aircraft, but this main force can only complete the task with the cooperation of the anti-aircraft artillery.
First of all, the anti-aircraft artillery needs to weave a dense network of firepower to force the attacking machine crew away from the hull of the floating ship and avoid it as far as possible. Because the closer you are, the more blind spots there are in the net. Then adjust the control fire network, compress the activity space of the attack machine, compress the activity space and drive the attack machine to the attack range of the secondary artillery. When the Assault Fighter comes into range of the secondary gun, hehe, let's fire directly!
If the assault machine force its way out of the fire net against the anti-aircraft artillery - it doesn't matter, the dense fire network can leave something from it. It is not surprising that if you are more lucky, you will turn into a fireball directly under the attack of anti-aircraft artillery.
Therefore, the first thing the attack planes should do when dealing with floating ships is to tear apart the anti-aircraft fire net. Only by tearing through the network of anti-aircraft fire can the floating ships be threatened and the final victory can be achieved.
The anti-aircraft fire network consisted of anti-aircraft artillery throughout the hull of the floating ship. Anti-aircraft artillery is usually in groups of several and staggered cover when firing.
At relative speed, the float is like a stationary castle against a high-speed approaching attacker. The gun emplacements and various exposed equipment on the hull of the ship are the arrow towers on the castle. The attack of the Assault Fighter is to use the speed to hit the attack range of the "Arrow Tower", and then fire at the outermost "Arrow Tower", and then use the speed advantage to make all the attacks of the "Arrow Tower" fall behind.
After knocking out a couple of "arrow towers", there will inevitably be holes in the anti-aircraft fire network. You can then drill through the holes in the firenet, prioritizing the destruction of exposed electronics, the towering first bridge, or a few shots directly at the stern main engine.
Pilots are most fond of attacking electronic devices that are exposed outside the ship. These electronic devices are usually radars and communication devices. As soon as the radar and communication devices are destroyed, the floating ship becomes blind and deaf.
The towering First Bridge was also a priority, but the symbolism of attacking the First Bridge was greater than the actual result. Because in the Battle of Doom, launching a strong attack on the first bridge of the floating ship is the favorite of the raider pilot. Nowadays, no commander or captain will appear on the first bridge during battle, and they all choose the second Cambridge under the protection of layers of armor as the command place.
As for the main engine in the stern, it was a rather low priority. Because the stern main engine has the thickest armor in the whole ship, it needs to tilt a large amount of ammunition to "smash" it, which is a waste of ammunition. You know, the bomb load of the assault machine, even if it is a heavy assault machine, is not much - with this effort, it's not good to smash it elsewhere, do you have to compete with the engine? Of course, when the attackers take the initiative to "smash" the engine, it basically means that the battle has come to an end, and the option left for the floating ship is nothing more than surrender and sinking......
This type of attack is somewhat similar to the ancient archers' siege of a city. In the training manual of the assault planes, this type of attack is called the "wolf attack", and the tactic of several assault planes working together to launch an attack is called the "wolf pack tactic".
The larger the floating ship, the more assault planes are needed to capture it. It takes courage to attack a floating ship alone, even for the smallest frigates.
The armor of the frigate is really not very good, it is not a little thinner than the battleship, and even compared to the cruiser is far inferior. The 280-millimeter high-explosive shell used against the ship can break through its hull with just one shot. But even so, the frigate was able to withstand several high-explosive shells. And the assault machine, as long as one salvo of anti-aircraft artillery is enough to shoot down.
Therefore, the assault planes usually form multiple units in small formations, or launch an attack on the ship with the support of their own floating ships. Someone like Fang Qiuling who dared to charge an entire fleet with a single opportunity was even more of a minority. The anti-aircraft fire network composed of several floating ships cooperating with each other is one of the nightmares of all attack aircraft pilots!
The crimson psychic power test machine continued to move forward at high speed, leaving the flames of the frigate's explosion far behind.
Now that the frigates have appeared, the Enterprising-class air carrier of the 14th Independent Fleet should be nearby......
Except for the reconnaissance-type assault planes, the airborne radar power of other assault planes is generally not large. In combat, it relies mainly on air knowledge and sight. The airspace of the Saumilton Islands is not only rich but also thick, coupled with the smoking volcano at the moment, the visibility of the airspace is quite poor, and the air knowledge has also been greatly disturbed.
Fang Qiuling pulled the joystick up slightly, raising the elevation angle of the body in order to obtain a larger viewing angle.
"Drip".
With a slight electronic beep, an unidentified shadow appears in an area of the left downward elevation angle ahead. The main viewfinder at the head of the fuselage immediately shifted to that area. The holographic screen pops out in front of you, zooming in on the area.
First a black dot, then a long black line. After several magnifications, a catamaran floating ship that looked like two huge containers connected together appeared in front of me.
Without Fang Qiuling's operation, the on-board terminal of the assault machine immediately identified the catamaran floating ship - the Essex-class supply ship.
According to intelligence, the 14th Independent Fleet has two supply ships, one is the Essex-class of large supply ships, and the other is the Esexe-class medium supply ship.
Fang Qiuling grinned: The empty mother was not found, but the supply ships were all found.
INTERVIEWER Would you like to say hello?
Fang Qiuling hesitated.
Although the bomb load of the Psychic Prototype is four to five times that of the Dawning Command's general-purpose assault aircraft, because it is carrying out an attack on the ship, four or five times the bomb load is actually not enough at all. Wasting ammunition on supply ships with little combat power......
After only hesitating for a moment, Fang Qiuling made a decision.
- Let you go!
The main lever that pushes forward retracts slightly and then tilts to the left.
The psychic power test machine then performed a small maneuver to the left and continued to search for the nullus.
……
At the same time, Fang Qiuling's two sword-wielding envoys fell into a small trouble. Two squads, a total of six assault planes, surrounded them violently on flying pedals.
The sudden attack did throw the Fourteenth Separate Fleet into chaos, with the communication channels filled with screams and pleas for help. Even the floating ships that were not attacked were more or less caught in irrepressible tension and anxiety.
It will take about ten minutes for the Dawning Lord's air fleet to come into the effective range of its main guns. In other words, the main guns on the Aurora Collar ship were also not in effective range. What exactly caused the loss of a sunk and a heavy blow to the frigate?
When the assault unit made an emergency attack, and the communications and images transmitted back clearly pointed out that it was the assault plane, and that it was a flying raider unit lying in the research room, the commander of the 14th Independent Fleet jumped directly from his command seat.
First of all, it's ecstasy - the Aurora Collar has actually completed the development of a flying assault machine! As the commander of the fleet that conquered the Aurora, he could declare himself the next lord of the Aurora Realm directly by the wartime regulations. At that time, all the scientific research results of the Dawning Collar will be in his pocket!
But before the ecstasy passed, the fear and uneasiness that suddenly rose in my heart were like cold water with ice cubes, pouring from head to toe - what was it that sank and severely damaged the two frigates, could it be that it was also a strong attack machine? No, it's impossible, how can the attack machine soldiers complete the double kill of two frigates in one photo, do you really think that the frigates are papier-mâché!
If it's not a raider, what would it be?
The commander's upper and lower teeth began to fight irrepressibly.
- In addition to the Assault Machine, there are also Demon Armor, and the Sky Knight!
The reason why the Heavenly Knight is called the Heavenly Knight is because the Sky Knight wearing the magic armor can break free from the shackles of gravity and become a knight soaring in the sky. The reason why the magic armor is named after "demon" is because once the heavenly knight wears the magic armor, then the heavenly knight has the ability to transform from a "knight who guards the kingdom" to a "demon dragon that destroys order"!
The Dawning Leader is nothing more than a small force that has been on the rise for less than two years. There are indeed a few great knights, and without the great knights, the Dawning Territory would not have the climate it has today. But the Celestial Knight ...... It's already a heavenly knight, is it really good to nest in a place where a bird like Dawn Collar doesn't? Whether it's the Pan-Telda Alliance or the Lilvida Entente, any one of them is a distinguished guest! The conditions that can be opened by the Dawn Leader in this broken place, the alliance and the entente can be doubled by any party! No...... It's ten times, twenty times more!
The commander suddenly felt a little wet and a little cool behind him. It's not because of the heat and sweat from wearing too many clothes, but the cold sweat caused by fright.
His gaze was on the main display on the bridge. On the display, two light blue assault planes made a U-turn and rushed into the thick clouds, taking advantage of their speed and mobility to fight guerrillas.
The seemingly unremarkable tactics made him a fierce cleverness, and the recent situation of the Dawn Leader transmitted by the intelligence system not long ago appeared in his mind.
There was a lot of information transmitted, the most noteworthy of which was the sudden appointment of one of his fellow countrymen by Zhang Dongchen, the commander of the Dawning Territory, as the deputy commander of the Dawning Territory, and the series of events that followed with the deputy commander.
This appointment of the commander-in-chief is very unreasonable, and no matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of nepotism. As a result, this appointment immediately caused discontent within the Dawning Command, and an assassination of the Deputy Commander and his two sword-wielding envoys ensued.
The assassination took place in the tallest building in the Aurora Territory, the Tower of Babel Hotel. The Deputy Commander was on his way to the conference hall on the top floor of the hotel to inspect the venue, but was immediately attacked by an explosion using an aether tank, a contaminating explosive device that causes human mutations.
Unfortunately, the assassination attempt was unsuccessful. It is said that the deputy commander jumped directly from the top floor of the hotel, thus avoiding the bomb threat.
The Commander had never been to the Aurora Territory, and the Tower of Babel belonged to the kind of people who "only heard it high but didn't know how tall it was". What is certain is that the Babel Tower Hotel is a super-high-rise skyscraper that jumps from the top floor...... Except for the Sky Knight, who can land alive?
As for whether the deputy commander is wearing a glider or a parachute...... It's good to use your brain! Who would bring a parachute or something to a hotel to inspect? It is possible that there are some high-altitude rescue facilities and equipment in the hotel, but don't forget that the assassination personnel set up the aether tank explosive device in a fixed place, and the hotel's own rescue equipment will be reserved for the victims to save themselves? Just kidding!
So the deputy commander of the Dawning Leader is the Heavenly Knight...... It should be good, wrong!
The Lord Commander attacked with magic armor and drove a strong attack machine to escort and cover with a sword, which is a very standard configuration of the Heavenly Knight team. The new deputy commander of the Dawning Leader who jumped off the building had two sword-wielding envoys, and the number of them happened to correspond to the two light blue assault fighters in front of him. So......
