Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1229: Meteorite Belt Lightning Strike Operation (4)

It's really outrageous. They had the technology of the interstellar age, but they used the tactics of World War I. There were not even any carrier-based aircraft killing battleships during World War II.

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

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

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

Therefore, mobile aircraft carriers have never been built larger, nor have attempts been made to carry out saturation attacks using large numbers of carrier-based aircraft.

This is the tactical flaw that comes from relying solely on simulations without any actual combat experience. They do not know that the quantitative change in carrier-based aircraft can lead to qualitative changes.

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 behemoths on the sea. At most, it would just cause some interference from torpedo planes.

However, after World War II, battleships completely disappeared from the historical stage.

Of course, it is not right to copy it here completely. After all, the warships here belong to the machine soul air defense, and their accuracy and reaction speed are not comparable to those of manual anti-aircraft guns. Moreover, if it were not for the cover provided by the meteorite belt, such a large fleet would never 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 means to win and completely abandoned the fleet combat manual that had worked in the past.

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

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

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

The Red Maple Republic's carrier-based aircraft were also dispatched urgently, but their numbers were no match for the Xuanshui Federation. Their reinforcements were still on the way, so at least for now, they didn't have to worry about being intercepted by enemy carrier-based aircraft.

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

The lionfish that should have been not far ahead of her was nowhere to be seen...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

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

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

The lionfish was like a flash of purple-red light, swiftly bypassing the torpedoes fired by friendly forces, or like a lightning bolt piercing the void, rapidly approaching the nearest warship.

The communicator beeped, and then Hall's voice sounded:
"What are you doing? Come back quickly! We need to return to restock our ammunition!"

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

Li Chengxi bent the joystick, and the lionfish moved sideways a long distance as if it had been slapped in the face, just avoiding the anti-aircraft gun beam that was like a fire dragon.

"I have plenty of ammunition now. I'll go back when I'm done."

"Enough ammunition?"

Hall was stunned, then reacted:

"You didn't drop the bomb just now?" "Of course, what a waste."

As he spoke, Li Chengxi had already approached a destroyer. The anti-aircraft fire made it look like a hedgehog, while the approaching void torpedoes provided Li Chengxi with cover to attract fire, allowing the lionfish to approach easily.

"No more talking, 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 immediately popped out from the backpack, and it immediately chopped on the surface of the spherical shield like a paper cutter, and scraped it all the way along the shooting line.

There's something beautiful about installing a beam saber on a space fighter, but Li Chengxi installed it to cut through the shields of battleships.

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

Each surface has its own defense limit, which means that if Li Chengxi wants to damage the battleship, he does not need to destroy all of its shields, it is enough to just open a gap.

The output of the beam saber is comparable to that of a high-energy particle rifle, but it does not need to be fired, so it consumes less energy at the same power.

Soon, Li Chengxi opened a gap, and the Lionfish immediately shut down the engine on one side and drifted into the gap.

The anti-aircraft fire noticed him, but by the time Li Chengxi got in, it was too late.

Although the anti-aircraft gun's direction and elevation gears are electronically controlled and very fast, they are simply unable to keep up with the Lionfish's specifications.

Li Chengxi shuttled through the hail of bullets as if he was playing with an anti-aircraft gun, and then he pulled the joystick hard, and the lionfish immediately rolled, swung, and climbed.

Now the lionfish was hanging upside down facing the destroyer's bridge. Li Chengxi could even see the people in the bridge trying to escape in panic.

But it was too late.

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

The impact fuse was instantly activated, and a violent flash of light erupted at the location of the bridge. In an instant, the entire bridge was engulfed 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 warship, the unfortunate destroyer had already fallen into an uncontrollable fire. Although damage control was still working hard, due to the rupture of energy pipelines and the disappearance of shields, it was 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 as planned. To him, it was too wasteful.

One void torpedo means adding another red star to the lionfish's record. If you just shoot it casually, you may not hit the target. Isn't this a waste?

The purple-red flash was like a crimson lightning tearing through the void. Li Chengxi stepped on the pedal, controlling the vector mouth jet to deflect downward. The lionfish dodged the attack of the anti-aircraft gun with amazing maneuverability.

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

Judging from its size, it is most likely a battlecruiser coming for support.

Just right as the next goal.

But before that...

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