Chapter 1084: Bandit Suppression Fleet
The artillery fire in the void slightly illuminated the star field in the darkness. The physical artillery fire roared silently, and shells flew towards each other at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Continue to concentrate firepower and aim at the injured destroyer."
Although the opposite side was a three-ship formation, pirates were pirates. Their combat quality and fighting will were completely incomparable to those of regular troops.
It was like being surrounded and beaten. No matter how many people surrounded you, you just kicked the weakest one.
The dazzling blue shield aura projected through the glass of the bridge. Alyssa glanced at the shield value of the Swan. It could still withstand it for now, but the pirates' artillery began to become more and more accurate.
Although it was an old ship and the onboard computer performance was insufficient, it should have calibrated the shooting parameters after a set of combos.
"Visually confirmed that the torpedo exploded and hit it."
"Take advantage of now, the depression angle is 20 degrees, and evasive sailing downwards."
In any case, the opponent has many people, and he only has the Swan. Due to its poor performance, it was hit at the beginning, but soon the opponent's artillery became more and more accurate, so it could not continue to bombard.
Only one of the 12 torpedoes hit, which was actually a very lucky hit rate, and even if it hit, it would be blocked by the shield, which was not very effective.
What is needed is that the torpedo reaches the predetermined position and explodes to temporarily cover the Swan.
From the outside, the Swan is like a dive into the water, continuing to sail in a Z-shaped evasive manner.
The adjustment of this channel is very necessary. It is obvious that the density of artillery fire aimed at the Swan has been reduced a lot.
There is actually no difference between shooting at a constant speed and shooting at a standing position. In this regard, the firepower density of the Swan is far inferior to that of the opponent.
But if the two sides are not on the same coordinate axis, the opponent not only needs to readjust the ship's posture to aim at the Swan, but also needs to recalibrate the shooting parameters due to the large tilt of the posture.
Yes, this is to bully their poor performance of the shipboard computer. While they haven't adjusted, use the Swan's advanced calibration system to fire a few shots. Seeing that the opponent has also calibrated, then maneuver at a large angle, forcing them to recalibrate.
This trick is quite effective against the pirates' old and broken ships.
Moreover, the Swan always identified a damaged pirate ship, and most of the firepower was directed at it. It was also the one that was hit by the torpedo just now.
Less than five minutes after the battle started, a destroyer among the pirate ships was on the verge of being destroyed.
Seeing this, Alyssa relaxed a little. Normally, when the pirates saw that they could not gain any advantage, they should keep their firepower and retreat. Of course, the Swan would not chase them, because they did not have enough fuel.
Most of the time, when encountering pirates, they mainly expel them. After all, Alyssa is now driving the Swan, not her own starship, and it is unlikely that she will leave all three ships on the opposite side.
At this moment, An Yun, who was looking at the radar, suddenly said:
"A new ship signal appeared on the radar, and it is within visual range."
Alyssa immediately called up the viewfinder screen and turned to the location reported by An Yun.
A destroyer had already appeared there, and with a twist, two frigates appeared.
Vilania, who served as a communicator, also said at this time:
"The automatic answering machine shows that they are warships belonging to the Star Cluster United Army."
This place has entered the scope of the Rotating Water Federation. Is it normal to have the Star Cluster United Army?
Of course it is normal.
The Rotating Water Federation is now at war with the Red Maple Republic. The fleet originally stationed there has been mobilized. In addition, the void is too large, and the dark star field between the galaxies is too large. It is impossible to maintain the patrol intensity in peacetime during the war.
This is also the reason why there are more pirates recently.
But in order to ensure the smooth flow of routes, people need to patrol and suppress bandits, and the Star Cluster United Army plays a role at this time.
They do not participate in wars between member states within the federation, but they do not say that they cannot suppress bandits.
One destroyer and two frigates, this is also a standard anti-bandit formation.
Pirates are scattered and small-scale. If you send a large fleet over, it is just a big gun shooting a mosquito. What's more, the Rotating Water Federation does not allow a large fleet that is not under its control to appear on its own territory.
So the Star Cluster United Army will appear in a small formation, with sufficient combat power, wide coverage, and flexible mobility.
It was a good thing to see the regular army while fighting with pirates, but for some reason, Alyssa had a bad feeling.
"Send the identification code and connect with the Star Alliance Army."
"No, there is no response except the automatic answering machine."
Vilania held the headset and listened:
"The Star Alliance Army broadcast on the public channel, saying that according to the emergency law of the Swirlwater Federation, the pirates will be eliminated."
Alyssa's bad feeling became clearer and clearer.
A group of pirates who came up to fight without saying a word, and the Star Alliance Army suddenly appeared with a legitimate reason...
Alyssa's scalp numbed:
"Half speed, turn left and sail downward!"
Carlos immediately adjusted the pitch angle and engine output, and turned the rudder.
The Swan, which was originally evading in a Z-shaped evasion, suddenly turned sharply downward, looking like a half-circle dive in the air.
The previous course adjustment was very stable, but this time it was extremely rough, that is, the high maneuverability of the light cruiser can do this action. If it were other warships, it would take a lot of time just to turn.
Almost at the same time as completing the acrobatic maneuver, Long reported:
"The main gun charging signal was detected, and the result of the trajectory prediction is us!"
"The Star Cluster United Army warship still has no response, and it is unclear whether it has received the identification signal."
Alyssa grabbed the armrest of the captain's seat and couldn't help cursing:
"This is really a trap!"
Let the pirates block the Swan's route, and the Star Cluster United Army will jump out to suppress the bandits with legitimate reasons during the battle.
What?
You said the Swan is not a bandit?
That's not up to you.
Even if it is exposed in the future, the Star Cluster United Army can still say that we did not receive the identification signal and the transceiver is broken. Yes, I said it was broken, it was broken, if you don't believe me, check it out.
But by that time, I'm afraid Alyssa may have passed several days of death...
It's obvious that the artillery fire of the Star Cluster Alliance is much more accurate than that of the pirates. The Swan maintains a left turn and sails downward. Several times, the huge beam of the main gun can be seen flying past. And this is just a test shot. The shipboard computer of the Star Cluster Alliance is not comparable to the pirates. The speed of calibrating the shooting parameters is extremely fast.
"Throw smoke screen!"
The hatch at the rear of the Swan opened, and large cans were sprayed out by high-pressure gas, and soon a thick wall of smoke was blown up.
It is enough to use evasive navigation to deal with pirates, but smoke screens are not very reliable against the Star Cluster Alliance.
It may be that the main gun is recharging. The next moment, the beam of the triple secondary gun pierced the smoke wall, and one of the shots hit the belly of the Swan, and the shield energy dropped significantly.
