Chapter 1229 Meteorite Belt Lightning Operation (4)

It is ridiculous to say that they have the technology of the interstellar era, but they use the tactics of World War I. There is no carrier-based aircraft killing battleships in World War II.

This is because the anti-aircraft firepower of the battleship is quite powerful, and a small number of carrier-based aircraft cannot get close at all, so everyone has formed an established fact in their minds.

That is, carrier-based aircraft cannot pose a threat to the fleet.

The size of a mobile aircraft carrier is only slightly larger than a cruise ship, and the number of carrier-based aircraft it can carry is also limited. Compared with warships of the same tonnage, its combat efficiency is much worse.

Therefore, mobile aircraft carriers have never been built larger, and no attempt has been made to use a large number of carrier-based aircraft for saturation attacks.

This is the tactical defect that has not been tested in actual combat and is entirely based on simulation. They do not know that the quantitative change of carrier-based aircraft can cause qualitative change.

In fact, this inertial thinking is the same on Earth. Before World War II, no one believed that a small plane would pose a threat to the steel behemoth on the sea. At most, it would interfere with torpedo planes.

However, after World War II, battleships completely withdrew from the stage of history.

Of course, it is wrong to copy it here completely. After all, the warships here belong to the machine soul air defense, and the accuracy and reaction speed are not comparable to the manual anti-aircraft guns. Moreover, if it were not for the cover provided by the meteorite belt, such a large fleet would not be able to fly to the attack distance.

This large-scale carrier-based aircraft raid by the Xuanshui Federation was a helpless attempt. It can be said that they tried every possible way to win, and completely abandoned the fleet combat manual that was effective in the past.

When it was Hall and Li Chengxi's turn to drop bombs, they saw with their own eyes that several Red Maple Republic warships turned into fireworks.

According to the combat plan, Hall aimed at a farther battle cruiser with impeccable movements and threw out both torpedoes. Like other carrier-based aircraft, after completing the bombing, he circled nearby to protect other fighters that had not yet completed the bombing.

The automatic timer started working. Three minutes later, Hall would return at full speed, re-hang the void torpedo, wait for new attack orders, and continue to repeat the previous operation.

The carrier-based aircraft of the Maple Republic were also dispatched urgently, but their number was no match for the Swirl Water Federation. Their reinforcements were still on the way. At least for now, there was no need to worry about being intercepted by enemy carrier-based aircraft.

Hall breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the countdown, and then suddenly remembered something, and looked left and right.

The lionfish, which should have been not far in front of her, was nowhere to be seen at this time...

–-——---——

The Bluetooth speaker behind his head was playing roaring death heavy metal. Li Chengxi held the lemonade hose in his mouth and pushed the throttle to the bottom.

In order to hide, the lionfish didn't even use one-tenth of its speed before, which made Li Chengxi feel very depressed.

The lionfish was like a flash of purple-red light, lightly bypassing the torpedo group fired by friendly forces, and also like lightning piercing the void, quickly approaching the nearest warship.

The communicator beeped, and then Hall's voice sounded:

"What are you doing? Come back! We need to return to replenish ammunition!"

"Don't worry about me, go back first."

Li Chengxi bent the joystick, and the lionfish seemed to be slapped in the face, and moved sideways a long distance, just avoiding the anti-aircraft artillery beam that was like a fire dragon.

"I have enough ammunition now, and I will go back after I have fun."

"Sufficient ammunition?"

Hall was stunned, and then reacted:

"You didn't drop bombs just now?"

"Of course, what a waste."

As he spoke, Li Chengxi had already approached a destroyer. The anti-aircraft firepower made it look like a hedgehog, and the approaching void torpedo provided Li Chengxi with cover to attract firepower, which allowed the lionfish to approach easily.

"No more talking, you go back first."

After saying that, Li Chengxi hung up the communication, and the lionfish flew parallel to the destroyer's shield. A pink beam saber popped out of the backpack, like a paper cutter, and immediately cut the surface of the spherical shield, and scraped along the shooting line.

Equipping a space fighter with a beam saber has a kind of brainstem-missing beauty, but Li Chengxi installed this thing to cut the battleship's shield.

At first glance, the battleship's shield is a sphere, but it is actually a sphere made up of countless honeycomb-like hexagonal structures.

Each face has a separate defense limit, which means that if Li Chengxi wants to hurt the battleship, he doesn't need to kill all its shields, just open a gap.

The output of the beam saber is equivalent to that of the high-energy particle rifle, but it does not need to be fired, so with the same power, the energy consumption is lower.

Soon, Li Chengxi opened a gap, and the lionfish immediately turned off the engine on one side and floated into the gap like drifting.

The anti-aircraft firepower noticed him, but it was too late to let Li Chengxi in.

Although the anti-aircraft gun's direction and elevation were electronically controlled and very fast, they were completely unable to keep up with the lionfish's specifications.

Li Chengxi seemed to be teasing the anti-aircraft gun, shuttling through the hail of bullets, and then suddenly pulled the joystick, and the lionfish immediately rolled and climbed.

Now the lionfish was facing the bridge of the destroyer in an upside-down posture, and Li Chengxi could even see the people in the bridge trying to escape in panic.

But it was too late.

A void torpedo detached from the launcher, ignited briefly and began to slide forward, then hit the bridge directly like an iron rod, shattering the porthole glass and twisting the armor plate.

The impact fuse was instantly activated, and a violent flash broke out at the location of the bridge. In an instant, the entire bridge was shrouded in flames, causing a chain reaction.

At this time, Lionfish had drifted out of the gap he had just opened. When he rushed to the next battleship, the unfortunate destroyer had already fallen into an uncontrollable fire. Although damage control was still working hard, due to the rupture of the energy pipeline and the disappearance of the shield, it was immediately hit by several naval guns fired from a distance, and eventually turned into a ball of space junk.

This is why Li Chengxi did not launch the torpedo according to the plan. For him, this was too wasteful.

A void torpedo means that Lionfish can add another red star record. If you shoot it casually, you may not be able to hit it. If this is not a waste, what is it?

The purple-red flash was like a crimson lightning tearing through the void. Li Chengxi stepped on the pedal and controlled the vector jet to deflect downward. The Lionfish dodged the anti-aircraft gun attack with amazing maneuvers.

A larger warship with more guns and a more powerful look appeared in front of the Lionfish.

Based on its size, it is likely to be a battlecruiser coming to support.

It is just right as the next target.

But before that...

Li Chengxi glanced at the radar, and there were more than a dozen red dot signals on it. The carrier-based aircraft of the Red Maple Republic noticed him.
