Chapter 1231: Meteorite Belt Lightning Strike Operation (6)

It is no exaggeration to say that without the protection of the meteorite belt, the special formation composed of cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers would probably be turned into space junk by the Red Maple Republic fleet before it reached their own range, not to mention any results.

Now that the advantage of surprise attack has been lost, it is hard to say whether the Red Maple Republic warships that have been attacked will send people to chase, so the mobile aircraft carrier and cruise ship need to change positions immediately, re-select attack positions and launch another offensive.

After all, no matter how great the results achieved by carrier-based aircraft are, they need to be able to return to their mothership, otherwise everyone will become space orphans.

The Swan mixed in with a large group of cruise ships, turned according to the route map sent by the flagship, dived under the meteorite again, and began sailing.

These meteorites blocked most of the Red Maple Republic's fleet's counterattack barrage, and only a few very unlucky ships were hit or even destroyed.

The cruiser is the most flexible warship, and the asteroid belt is the best hiding place for these guys.

This operation can be simply summarized as hit and run, which is really exciting.

The Red Maple Republic can indeed divide its forces to pursue, and once it does, all the cruise ships, including the Swan, will surely suffer heavy losses.

But do they dare?
In this star field, the Red Maple Republic's fleet does not have an advantage in terms of numbers. Once its forces are divided, the firepower of the main fleet will be significantly weakened.

Logically speaking, the Xuanshui Federation is eager for them to give chase, even if it means sacrificing all their cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers. It will be worth it as long as they can win the battle.

The Xuanshui Federation will not miss such a good opportunity. It will be able to divide and surround the Red Maple Republic’s fleet in a short period of time and then annihilate it.

With victory in this battle, the road to the star gate will be opened. The next step for the Xuanshui Federation will be to cooperate with the fleets of nearby galaxies to recapture the star gate and completely cut off the Red Maple Republic's march towards the capital of the Xuanshui Federation.

The Red Maple Republic Fleet was certainly not stupid. They knew this and did not split up their forces to pursue them. Instead, they activated their secret weapon again.

Along with a huge electric arc during charging, a beam of light quickly swept across the entire star system, causing the fleet of the Whirlpool Federation to misfire again.

"The fleet commander issued a notice that the protective devices failed and a large number of ships lost power."

Alyssa couldn’t help but frowned:

"Can the effects be combined?"

As protective devices began to be configured for the Whirlpool Federation's fleet, only a few ships lost power during the first start-up. The Whirlpool Federation fleet, which had a numerical advantage, did not actually have any disadvantages in this situation.

But the second start-up caused 10% of the still movable warships to lose power, which was very difficult to deal with.

After all, you don’t know how many times it can be activated. If it keeps happening, soon all the warships of the Swirling Water Federation will become targets.

Attack and defense are a pair of intertwined spirals of contradictions. The secret weapon of the Red Maple Republic is like EMP, which can destroy electronic equipment, and many military equipment will have anti-EMP functions.

But how long can you defend and how efficient is your defense? This is the spiral of contradiction that will only arise from confrontation.

After two activations, the defense limit of the protective device has been exceeded. It is obvious that this thing still has a lot of room for improvement. The top leaders of the Rotating Water Federation are also aware of this, but now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

Not only the large fleet was affected, but also the flanking formation composed of cruise ships and mobile aircraft carriers. I am afraid that the catapult device of the mobile aircraft carrier cannot be activated before the energy is restored.

Of course, the Swan remained unaffected as always.

Although this was bad news, the good news was that when the secret weapon was activated, the cruiser and aircraft carrier formation had already reached the new attack position. Alyssa immediately received an order from the commander and all carrier-based aircraft set off.

Target, the Red Maple Republic's trump card, the reactor jammer.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Since the catapult device of the mobile aircraft carrier was temporarily unusable, the speed of the deployment of the fleet this time was much slower than at the beginning. Of course, all carrier-based aircraft still relied on meteorites for cover and shelter in order to quickly approach the Red Maple Republic fleet.

But as mentioned just now, the fleet of the Red Maple Republic has completed its turn and is gradually moving away from the meteorite belt. No matter how the large fleet of the Rotating Water Federation seduces them, they will not fall for the same trick again.

This also means that this time the carrier-based aircraft fleet needs to fly out of the meteorite belt before it can get close to the Red Maple Republic fleet, and the situation of almost zero combat casualties like the first attack will not occur.

Hall held the joystick tightly. There was still supporting artillery fire from the cruise ship behind him, but the pressure of the second attack was much greater than the first.

"The flight commander is informing everyone that we are about to leave the asteroid belt. I repeat, we are about to leave the asteroid belt."

The commander's voice came from the communicator, and he continued:

"Your performance has been impeccable, but you all know that we will have no cover this time and will face the fiercest anti-aircraft fire. Whether you are a patriot or not, you appear beside us now, so please accept my highest respect and let's meet at the celebration banquet."

The vanguard aircraft group led by the commander had already left the meteorite belt at this time, and almost at the same time, a large amount of naval gun fire smashed down on them.

The meteorites at the edge of the meteorite belt were shattered or melted by the dense firepower. The carrier-based aircraft that rushed out of the meteorite belt were hit head-on, and a large number of friendly force signals disappeared from the radar on the spot.

Hall swallowed nervously, it would soon be her turn to rush out of the meteorite belt.

"Don't be nervous, just follow me."

Li Chengxi's words helped Hall to come to her senses from her extreme tension. She saw the lionfish shake its wings and then fly downward.

This was certainly not in line with the plan, but Hall followed immediately.

Instead of following the main force, they rushed out of the meteorite belt from below. This choice was correct, because they had not yet entered the firing range of the anti-aircraft guns. The Red Maple Republic's fleet used secondary guns to launch a covering attack on the aircraft group, and the firepower density of the secondary guns made it quite difficult to hit the flexible space fighters.

In other words, if they continue to huddle together at this time, they will become bigger targets, so it is better to disperse.

But if they disperse, saturation attacks and wave-like offensives cannot guarantee lethality.

This is when your organization, coordination, and tactical abilities are tested. Disperse when you are close, and then gather and attack when you are within attack distance.

It sounds simple, but this is the first time that the Cyclone Federation has used large-scale aircraft swarm attack tactics. It may not be so easy to complete the above operations.

Li Chengxi and Hall flew out from below, which was actually a violation of orders and an act of desertion, but no one noticed it now and no one would take it seriously.

And after getting through a round of fire coverage from the fleet, the real trouble was yet to come.

For example, the interceptor formation of the Red Maple Republic.
