Chapter 1654: Miscellaneous Army

DPTOS6489, this is the number of the dark star field where the Swan is currently located.

Located between the two forward bases, it should be a route that is often taken for daily patrols or even when personnel between the two bases move to each other.

Only Alyssa has passed this route more than once or twice. It stands to reason that this place belongs to the rear, and there should be no enemy ambush, but the reality is that the Fifth Fleet was ambushed.

The only possibility that can be thought of at present is that this miscellaneous fleet used wave absorbers and optical camouflage to ambush here, and it is very likely that it has been ambushed for a month or two.

After all, a month or two ago, the Swirl Water Federation had not pushed the front line over.

In the past, the Swan used wave absorbers and optical camouflage to sneak attack others, which was very cool. Now being sneak attacked by others can really experience a very fucking feeling.

The main fleet of the Fifth Fleet is actually okay. Even if it is sneak attacked, the shields of most ships will not cause too much damage.

The patrol fleet is not good. Alyssa watched the signals of friendly ships belonging to her on the command system disappear one after another.

Fortunately, the advantage of the cruiser is its flexibility. Alyssa immediately changed the route and ordered the fleet to speed up. The cruiser formation led by the Swan quickly dived down. After paying the price of nearly 15 warships being sunk, it finally got out of the frontal firing line.

In this way, it will not block the artillery fire of friendly forces, and if the enemy wants to attack them, they must be prepared to be beaten by friendly forces.

The firepower fired at herself was obviously much weaker. Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed the route again, trying to stay away from the main fleet and looking for opportunities to flank.

"Shield restart."

"Reach the designated position."

Alyssa made a mark on the star map.

"Throw mines."

The mine spreaders hanging on both sides of the Swan rotated, aiming at the coordinates and throwing out a large number of mines. The friendly cruisers behind them also did the same.

The mines fired by the cruiser fleet can slightly interfere with the route of the enemy fleet, which is a kind of auxiliary. The actual combat effect is actually higher than rockets.

Then the fleet began to turn, getting farther and farther away from the main fleet of the friendly forces, and began to try to flank the enemy from the side and rear.

"Engine light detected, confirmed to be a magic mecha."

"The number is 300 and still increasing!"

"Order carrier-based aircraft to attack, defense first, don't rush too far forward."

This miscellaneous fleet seemed to have no matching patrol fleet. Facing Alyssa's flanking attack, the opponent directly sent carrier-based aircraft instead of sending patrol fleets to intercept as usual.

And at this critical moment, the first sentence Li Chengxi, who had not spoken for several days, said was:

"Uh... do you want to eat fruit?"

"..."

–--——---——

Alyssa's operation stunned Li Chengxi. No, I clearly saw you just entered the base before I went to bed. You couldn't complete the routine supply and maintenance in a nap. How come you started fighting again as soon as you opened your eyes, and it was so lively?

Li Chengxi looked for a long time but couldn't understand what was going on. It was as if the Fifth Fleet suddenly started fighting with a group of miscellaneous troops.

But then Li Chengxi changed his mind and said, "Hey, whatever the reason, just fight first."

At this time, the takeaway delivery man arrived, so Li Chengxi asked Alyssa if she wanted some?

Obviously, Alyssa didn't have the time.

The rotating yellow indicator light in the hangar was particularly dazzling, and all the staff retreated to the safety compartment. The indicator light turned from yellow to green.

The airlock door of the hangar slowly opened, and a laser runway extended out along the hangar.

The catapult made a sharp sound, accompanied by sparks and steam, and one carrier-based aircraft was ejected and began to form a formation near the mobile aircraft carrier. Then, according to the route instructions sent by the flight commander, they went to intercept enemy aircraft.

Human beings are incredibly adaptable.

The soldiers under Alyssa are actually just recruits, who have only been in the army for a few months.

But these few months of war tempering have transformed these recruits into veterans.

After all, those who can't do it are already gone.

When I first joined Alyssa, I almost hit my friendly warships when I launched carrier-based aircraft. Now this group of people can fly in formation skillfully, and use this time to assign tasks and discuss tactics during the flight to avoid being in a hurry later.

Soon, dense red dots appeared on everyone's airborne radar, and through the viewfinder, the naked eye could also capture the engine light shining in the dark star field.

Maybe it was because Alyssa was very famous in the military. The mobile aircraft carrier under her command was the first to complete the replacement, and all the crew members were equipped with the latest magic mecha.

These were not bought from the Storm Kingdom for emergency purposes, but the models improved by the Swirl Water Federation based on the suggestions of the front-line officers and soldiers and the efforts of the research and development technicians in the rear.

In contrast, the Red Maple Republic, which is at the critical moment of life and death, does not have this wealth for the time being, and it is good to have some.

So when the two sides approached within visual distance, they would see only a small number of magic mechas on the other side, most of which were space fighters, and the models were relatively old, which meant that all the sealed old aircraft were pulled out.

However, one thing was certain, although this was a ragtag fleet, not at all like the Red Maple Republic Army, but at least the carrier-based aircraft were indeed from the Red Maple Republic.

The propulsion speed in the void was very fast. When both sides entered the visual range, they almost started to strangle each other.

The magic mecha modified by the Spin Water Federation looked only slightly different from the original version, but in fact, the things inside were completely different. It was more responsive and equipped with more than a dozen improvements such as assisted driving functions.

The most obvious part was actually the weapon.

The new model of the magic mecha abandoned the 40mm rapid-fire cannon as the main weapon and replaced it with 58mm shaped energy bombs or four-barrel continuous ion beams.

The advantage is that the recoil is lower, avoiding the recoil caused by the shooting of physical weapons affecting the mobility of the magic mecha, and the power is greater than that of the 40mm rapid-fire cannon.

And the 58mm shaped energy bombs and the anti-aircraft gun ammunition on the warships can still be used interchangeably, ensuring the versatility of parts and reducing logistics pressure.

Using energy weapons such as four-barrel continuous ion beams, the firepower density is higher than that of rapid-fire cannons, and it can further reduce the pressure of logistics transportation of physical ammunition.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, and the energy consumption rises sharply.

Although the Swirl Federation has expanded the capacity of the Magic Energy Mecha, and the energy storage is 20% higher than before, the actual energy consumption is more than 70% higher than the original version, and the endurance is greatly reduced.

It sounds like this is not a mature weapon, but in fact, considering the average survival time of pilots, the problem of weak endurance is not obvious.

Anyway, before the energy is exhausted, the pilots either return to refill the liquefied magic or die on the battlefield, so the long endurance is not very useful.
