Chapter 1664 Battle of Broken Horn (8)

Due to the huge scale of this battle, the changes in the battle situation are not as fast as before, but everyone can see the current situation clearly.

The commander of the cruiser of the first fleet sent a communication and held a small meeting with the cruiser commanders of multiple fleets including Alyssa.

The meeting ended in less than three minutes and reached a consensus.

The cruiser formation will attack the main force of the enemy.

The cruiser formation is now on the back of the gas planet. Once it goes around the planet, it will face the main force of the enemy.

That is a huge formation composed of tens of thousands of main battleships of various types. With a salvo, their cruisers will disappear on the spot.

But this is not a reckless pig rush. The purpose of the cruiser formation is to create an opportunity for friendly forces to have the opportunity to use the reactor jammer.

If this thing is not killed, it will be a matter of time before the battle is lost.

Even if it can attract the attention of the main force of the enemy and reveal even a flaw, it is worth it to completely destroy the cruiser formation.

The commander of the formation immediately informed the royalists of the news, hoping that they could provide cover.

The royalist fleet quickly sent a reply, saying that they would not only provide cover, but also be willing to charge with the real warriors.

The patrol fleet quickly surfaced, sailed by gravity above the star ring, and used gravity to accelerate the ships. About fifty minutes later, the fleet passed the star ring and passed the gas planet.

At this time, the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic could be clearly seen. It was as if the brilliant galaxy was about to lose its luster. The dense engine lights and the ion beams as dense as rainstorms almost made the bridge start the shading mode, otherwise it would be impossible to see anything clearly.

One step forward, it is about to enter the artillery range.

Well, it is to enter the enemy's artillery range.

The main guns of the cruiser are not as far as the main guns of the main battleships. In other words, if they continue to approach, they will be beaten.

But the fleet still advances on the star ring and fires a large number of torpedoes and mines on the way.

At this distance, the torpedoes are unlikely to hit, but will only cause a little trouble to the enemy.

But what they want is trouble.

The main fleet of the Red Maple Republic also discovered the approach of the cruiser formation at the first time. Everyone was not stupid, and they understood the reason why the cruiser approached regardless of the danger in an instant.

The cruise fleet will hardly cause any damage to the main fleet unless it is placed at a very close distance. Even so, it is extremely difficult to sink a larger warship with a cruiser.

It's like a destroyer trotting all the way to the battleship. All you can do is use all the guns on the ship to wash the deck of the battleship. You will be injured, but you will definitely not sink it.

Besides, the cruiser formation can't rush so close, and it will be destroyed halfway.

So when the cruiser approached, the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic began to change its formation, and a small part of it changed its route to deal with the cruisers and the royalist fleet that tried to approach.

This is actually enough to cause a fatal blow to the cruiser formation.

It is far from enough to only attract the attention of a small part of the fleet.

The cruiser formation relied on the meteorites and asteroids on the star ring as cover, while approaching, it also released carrier-based aircraft.

It is absolutely impossible for the cruiser to break through the blockade and rush over directly. The only way at present is to rely on carrier-based aircraft to carry a large number of void torpedoes to launch a saturation attack, forcing the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic to spend more energy to deal with them.

Whether it is the cruiser formation or the carrier-based aircraft pilots who launched a saturation torpedo at this time, they are in a situation of life and death.

Dividing line

The communication channel was surprisingly quiet. For a moment, Hall thought that he had closed the friendly channel before and did not open it. After checking the communication system, he confirmed that it was not a mechanical failure, but that no one was really talking.

Listen carefully, you can only hear a faint breathing sound at most, and you can't be sure whether it comes from yourself.

Among the pilots, many are old birds who have fought all the way from the meteorite belt torpedo operation, but even last time, everyone's mood was not as heavy as it is now.

After all, no one is stupid, and everyone knows what the purpose of releasing carrier-based aircraft is at this time. Similarly, the Red Maple Republic also knows.

Without the advantage of surprise attack, the carrier-based aircraft will face the anti-aircraft artillery of the real main fleet. Even if the number and quality of the fleet this time are far better than before, the casualty rate will definitely be more exaggerated than last time.

In other words, after a wave of air strikes, it is very likely that only one in ten will survive.

In this case, it is a miracle that everyone can be in a good mood.

However, Hall seems to be a little different. She felt nervous when she attacked for the first time just now, but now facing greater danger, she is not nervous.

This is actually determined by the different psychological characteristics of each person. Some people will become hysterical or silent when they are extremely nervous. Hall is the type who is not nervous when overly nervous.

But having said that, every time I move my hand away from the control ball of the magic mecha, I always realize that my palm has been soaked with cold sweat, which is very uncomfortable.

"We are about to leave the meteorite belt, pay attention to concealment."

The words of the flight commander suddenly appeared in the communication channel, which startled people, and soon the fleet broke away from the meteorite belt that constitutes the star ring.

After leaving the meteorite, there should be nothing but empty space outside without any shelter, and at this distance one would be shot into a sieve by the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery.

But the good news is that after leaving the asteroid belt, a large number of warship wreckage appeared in front.

These wreckages were left in the fierce battle just now. Although the number is not as dense as the asteroid belt, it can also provide a certain cover.

The light began to flicker around the body. For a moment, Hall's brain seemed to be stuck. He was stunned for a while before he realized that it was actually the explosion of the anti-aircraft artillery shells installed with proximity fuses.

Shrapnel continued to rain down on the fleet. Since there is no air attenuation in the void, these shrapnel will be very deadly.

Some friendly forces flying space fighters can still block it with shields, but the magic mecha has no shield and can basically only rely on the body to resist.

Hall saw that from time to time someone was left behind because of being hit by shrapnel, and some people were very unlucky and turned into orange flashes.

From behind, a series of friendly artillery fire tried to open the way for the fleet. It can only be said that it is better to have it than not to have it, and it cannot change the situation that everyone is currently being targeted by anti-aircraft guns.

"Confirmed that the enemy ejected carrier-based aircraft."

Bad news came one after another.

The number of carrier-based aircraft on the main battleship is definitely not as good as that of the mobile aircraft carrier. Most of the carrier-based aircraft carried are used for miscellaneous work, rather than fighting.

But look at this number.

Dense red dots began to appear on the radar, which was definitely much worse than the fleet launched by professional aircraft carriers, but for Hall's group of aircraft with four void torpedoes and greatly reduced maneuverability, it was still very deadly.
