Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1237: Meteorite Belt Lightning Strike Operation (12)

The firepower of the ship's guns was more than twice as intense as it had been in the previous few hours, and dazzling light illuminated the young star system, whether it was ion beams or the orange flash of exploding battleships.

Now, the Red Maple Republic's fleet is in a state of being surrounded, with the main fleet of the Whirlpool Federation in front and the flanking firepower consisting of cruisers and fifty battleships and starships in the rear.

Both sides tacitly staggered diagonally to avoid being hit by stray bullets.

Not only did the Red Maple Republic passively take the beating, but the chaos caused by the fall of their flagship also made it difficult for them to effectively organize a counterattack or even a maneuver to change positions.

Just as Alyssa expected, the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon could not fire many rounds. She thought that it could fire five rounds at most, which was actually an overly optimistic estimate. In fact, the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon under the Red Maple Republic Fleet only fired three rounds before it went silent.

This thing consumes too much energy. The Xuanshui Federation used the most powerful starship as a carrier, and removed all weapons on the starship, including anti-aircraft guns, before installation. The energy system also underwent a series of optimizations, and all unnecessary equipment and devices were removed.

The entire starship was actually dismantled into an empty shell, and almost all of its energy was used to supply the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon.

It was actually a blessing to be able to fire three shots, because according to the values ​​estimated by the designers, the power of the third shot would most likely be weakened to the level of ordinary naval guns due to insufficient energy and the life of the gun barrel.

This cannon was originally still in the experimental stage, with a total of eight finished products produced for different experiments. Now, it is being rushed into production, with eight starships being modified to carry the cannon.

These starships should have been lying in ambush behind the only dwarf planet in this galaxy in advance, waiting for the right opportunity to take action.

They had most likely been waiting here a few days ago. At least when Alyssa arrived, she didn't see any similar movements by the fleet.

This is definitely a gamble. Once discovered in advance, the starship, which has lost all firepower except the Thunder Sea Serpent Cannon, will become a target, which is equivalent to firing a self-propelled artillery at the enemy's face.

The entire action plan was top secret, and except for the highest commander of a normal battle, even the front-line commanders knew nothing about it.

Fortunately, the Spinning Water Federation won the bet.

The Thunder Serpent Cannon destroyed the reactor generator in one fell swoop, and Alyssa was very suspicious whether the Whirlwater Federation had discovered in advance that the Red Maple Republic's command system was located there.

All the movable ships were heading towards the fleet of the Red Maple Republic which was temporarily in chaos. The closer the distance was, the more accurate the shooting would be. Although the other side was in the same condition, they had temporarily lost their command and their counterattack firepower was far less powerful than theirs.

The fleet without its leader is just a pile of loose sand. What the Xuanshui Federation needs to do now is to destroy the opponent's manpower as much as possible before the opponent can react, and use its own numerical advantage to crush the enemy.

The biggest contributors were the eight starships equipped with Thunder Sea Serpent Cannons, which immediately turned around and fled after firing the third shot, trying to reunite with the main fleet.

They have no protection except for the shields, and the rapid energy consumption is too much for even the starship to handle, and the engine power cannot be increased to maximum.

They were directly below the enemy's formation. Although it had been said before that there were not many warships that could aim and shoot downwards, these eight starships were too eye-catching. Now all the hatred was on them. All the warships of the Red Maple Republic that could fire downwards aimed at these eight starships that were about to escape and bombarded them fiercely.

In this huge interstellar war where the number of fleets is likely to exceed three thousand, the most powerful starship in the fleet sequence is nothing more than cannon fodder. How many of these eight heroic starships can escape depends on how fast the main force of the Whirlpool Federation arrives and how lucky they are.

Now the fleet of the Xuanshui Federation is charging forward while firing freely as if it had been injected with chicken blood, but I don’t know if these people have forgotten one thing.

Damn, the pilot is still near the Red Maple Republic fleet!

The largest-scale space fighter cluster operation in history organized by the Xuanshui Federation is essentially a smokescreen.

Although it did achieve impressive results, the purpose of the flying formation was to make the Red Maple Republic Fleet believe that the Whirlpool Federation was helpless and could only resort to this crooked tactic to deal with it, which was a smokescreen to paralyze the opponent.

Now that the smoke bombs are no longer useful, it's hard to say whether they have forgotten about it.

Hall yanked the joystick to avoid a triple ion beam. She now understood what Li Chengxi meant by the word he kept saying.

Damn it.

That's really fucking lame.

After all, the naval gunfire that they just dodged was actually artillery fire from friendly forces. These bastards forgot that their own people were still in the ray!
The Red Maple Republic fleet was temporarily in chaos and unable to organize an effective counterattack, but their anti-aircraft firepower did not require any large fleet organization, and the pilots went too deep to throw torpedoes at the reactor jammer. Although it was a good thing that the thing was killed by the sudden bombardment, the pilots who went too deep could only half cheer and half wow and quickly throw away the void torpedoes, jumping up and down like flies being chased by a fly swatter.

What aircraft groups, what formations, they are all a mess.

After all, originally they only had to pay attention to the anti-aircraft guns, and at most the interceptors of the Red Maple Republic. But now, the two sides are firing at each other, and the space fighters are within the firing line of both sides. They must not only watch out for the enemy's shells, but also their own.

Now in the encrypted communication channel of the friendly forces, not only did the pilots praise the Xuanshui Federation military, but even the flight commander was speaking well of them, saying that he would open the eyes of the military masters after returning!

In this environment, the interceptors of the Red Maple Republic still did not give up and continued to pester.

Hall pulled up the nose of the plane and blew up an enemy plane that was chasing friendly forces with long bursts of fire from the machine gun and ion beam.

"Li Chengxi! Where are you? We need to retreat immediately!"

She put on her mask and kept calling Li Chengxi on the channel, but there was no response. Li Chengxi might have already run into the fleet and killed everyone.

At this time, Hall's space fighter bypassed the wreckage of the fighter plane that had just exploded. As soon as it passed through the cover of flames, it saw an enemy plane with red maple leaves printed on its wings coming towards it.

She immediately pressed the fire button on the joystick, but the machine gun idled a few times and no ammunition was fired.

Only then did Hall realize that the physical ammunition had been used up in the previous air battle.

Although the ion beam was fired, Hall underestimated the intersection point of the trajectories due to the lack of machine guns. The ion beam flew past the wings of the opponent's fighter plane, and the opponent's machine guns hit Hall with crackling sounds.

She pulled the joystick urgently, but was still a step too late. The shield of her vehicle was pierced, the wings were torn apart by the machine guns, and the ion beam burned the energy pipelines under the belly of the aircraft. The entire space fighter became uncontrollable.

Under the intense G-force, Hall went into black vision for an instant and almost passed out on the spot.

Fortunately, she was very strong and she managed to find the ejection device switch even though she couldn't see anything clearly.

This ejection device is actually a psychological comfort to the pilots to a large extent, because the pace in air combat is too fast. Even if you are ejected, your teammates may not have time to rescue you.

At that time, your only capital for survival is a protective suit that can provide oxygen for about 1 to 3 hours, during which time you pray that you will not be hit by the flying shrapnel.

Hall fumbled to press the switch, and almost at the moment it started, she finally heard Li Chengxi's voice:

"Don't panic, I'm coming!"

Hall was ejected, and her own vehicle soon turned into an orange flash. As the world spun around, she saw the matte black fuselage of the Lionfish flash by and explode the enemy plane that Hall had just been facing.

Then Hall felt as if he had hit something from behind, almost breaking his bones.

Only then did she notice that when she ejected, the lionfish opened the side door and caught her.

Now Hall is in the Lionfish’s cockpit.

The joystick and throttle seemed to be controlled by an invisible person. The Lionfish began to turn, and Li Chengxi's voice came from the speaker under the console:
"Alyssa sent the retreat signal."

Hall still felt her brain spinning in circles as she sat in the driver's seat very reluctantly. At this moment, she saw the blue retreat signal pop up on the cockpit glass.

With a long sigh of relief, Hall's only thought now was.

Superstition is sometimes really useful.
