Armor Frenzy

Many people have the same question. Huang Bo was the first to ask: "Commander, can you do it with only three turrets?"

"Isn't there still eight close-in defense guns?" Yan Jing was full of confidence.

"What if our firepower can't destroy the enemy ship?"

"Do I look like such a dogmatic person? If the firepower is insufficient, hurry up and report it, and then listen to my orders." Yan Jing said.

Everyone understood the meaning of the words, and it was considered a reassurance for everyone. Huang Bo immediately ordered the whole ship to prepare for battle.

Note that it is the whole ship that is ready for battle, not turrets one to three, which means that Moon Bay can put all its artillery into battle at any time as long as the need arises.

It is one thing to use it or not, and it is another thing to not prepare for the time required. As the saying goes, expecting the enemy to be lenient is not a problem.

The orders given by the other captains were similar, including the Hongwan where Yan Jing was located.

Yan Jing did not express any opinion on this, and there is no need to express any opinion, because the preparations before the war should have been done in the first place.

At this time, the fleet is still an hour away from the enemy. At first glance, it seems that there is more than enough time, but the expeditionary force has been sailing in the universe for nearly a year, and all the weapons and equipment have not been maintained. The entire ship must be equipped before the war. Carry out a necessary inspection to ensure that the weaponry is in good order.

In this way, one hour seems too short. Even if the maintenance team breaks their legs, it is impossible to complete the overhaul of all the weapons and equipment before the battle. The overhaul can only be focused on the No. 1 to No. 3 turrets.

Fortunately, although the construction of Class 024 has been rushing, the quality of the project has not been reduced in the slightest. After the system self-check, the fire control system is all normal.

The expedition fleet was still half an hour away from the asteroid. Yan Jing made a decisive decision and ordered the fleet to change formation. The Hongwan and Luwan were in one group, and the Shuwan and Yuewan were in the second group. to the asteroid.

The fleet finally received a reply from the command center, and the core of the call back was only four words: act according to opportunity.

The expeditionary force is about to exchange fire with the enemy fleet. It is far away from the command center of the earth. The communication with the expeditionary fleet is delayed for more than half an hour. It is impossible to grasp the situation faced by the expeditionary force in real time. How can you give an expeditionary army a combat order?

In a word, everything about the Expeditionary Force can only be solved internally.

The fleet continued to move forward, and everyone returned to their combat positions, even the marines who had absolutely no chance to participate in the battle, wearing power armor and staying in the cabin.

When the asteroid was still 16 minutes away, the aliens finally discovered the arrival of the expeditionary force. The originally well-ordered alien spaceship suddenly became abnormally chaotic. Dozens of various spaceships took off from the asteroid. Half of the ships fled desperately, and the other half circled behind the asteroid, hiding behind the asteroid to avoid the expedition fleet.

Huang Bo looked at the escape trajectory of the alien fleet, and curled his lips disdainfully: "It looks like it."

The alien spaceship has just taken off, and the speed is definitely not as fast as the expedition fleet. In this case, fleeing in the direction perpendicular to the expedition fleet's route can escape as far as possible in the shortest time.

But the alien fleet did not do this at all, and fled directly to Jupiter.

At this time, the fleet was still far from Jupiter. Jupiter was still an inconspicuous little red dot in front of the expedition fleet, but Jupiter could already be distinguished from the stars with the naked eye.

Unless the alien fleet can increase the speed to more than 70 kilometers per second in a short period of time, this batch of alien spaceships will be caught up by the expedition fleet sooner or later.

But looking at the acceleration of the alien fleet, it is clearly impossible to do so.

The actions of the alien fleet are really unreasonable, so Huang Bo regarded the behavior of the alien fleet as a feint and defeat.

Flagship Rainbow Bay.

Yan Jing found that the alien spaceship was running and hiding, and had no intention of engaging in combat at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful in his heart.

Are aliens really blocking here on purpose?

But it is meaningless to study this now, Yan Jing stared at the asteroid for a few seconds, and whispered in his voice that had just returned to normal: "Order, one group goes up and the other goes down, pull a little distance... just two A hundred kilometers."

The diameter of the asteroid is only more than 100 kilometers. After the two groups of warships are separated, the fleet's firepower will cover the upper and lower ends of the asteroid, leaving only a very small area behind it to hide.

However, there was originally a distance of no less than 100 kilometers between the four warships, but it was originally an in-line formation suitable for long-distance voyages, but now it is necessary to pull the height as much as possible to incorporate the space around the asteroid into the expeditionary force. of artillery fire.

The expedition fleet flew closer and closer. When the voyage was less than a minute away from the asteroid, Yan Jing issued a combat order. The four warships started the No. 1 to No. 3 turrets at the same time. The sides are separated and folded to fall on both sides of the turret~www.readwn.com~ to reveal the twin-mounted laser cannons under the guard.

The 120mm dual-mounted laser cannon looks like two large-caliber astronomical telescopes tied together, but this thing is a real killer, the highest achievement of human energy weapons!

Don't think that the US imperialists have Zentraedi military technology. China's high-energy laser weapons started very early. Although their achievements are kept secret, they have the strength to crush US imperial laser weapons.

The laser cannon of the 024-class space battleship has an effective range of 1,200 kilometers, that is to say, from the time the enemy ship enters the range to the time it leaves the range, the expeditionary fleet has sixteen seconds to calmly fire.

If the tail gun is also used, there will be another sixteen seconds!

Yan Jing kept his mind, did not let the fleet slow down, and prohibited the fleet from getting too close to the asteroid, so the fleet would pass the asteroid at a high speed of 72 kilometers per second when it was more than 400 kilometers away from the asteroid.

In this way, even if the aliens set any traps near the asteroid, there is no way to catch up with the expedition fleet, thus preventing the fleet from falling into the pockets of the aliens.

The asteroid got closer and closer, and finally entered the range of the main cannon, but the alien spaceship cunningly hid behind the asteroid without revealing the slightest flaw. Twelve twin-mounted laser cannons, within the limited time the fleet passed the asteroid, Just didn't find a chance to open fire.

Yan Jing simply ordered the ships to defend against possible pursuit with tail guns, and then pursued the fleeing enemy with all their strength.

There are about thirty alien spaceships that escaped from the asteroid, and they escaped too late. Until the expedition fleet passed the asteroid, the speed of the alien spaceship was still far lower than that of the expeditionary force.

The distance between the two sides shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Perhaps the aliens realized that it was too late to escape. The more than 30 spaceships that had gathered together suddenly came to the goddess and scattered flowers, scattered and flew in all directions, trying to escape the expedition fleet. blow.
