Chapter 1378: Encounter in the Zhenguang Galaxy (4)

The battlecruiser is a fire support weapon that is longer than two space fighters. It is generally flat and has a bullet-proof shape. Due to its large size, an aircraft carrier cannot carry many of them. They are basically deployed to the battlefield at a ratio of 70 to 80 to 1 with carrier-based aircraft.

Although Li Chengxi always seemed to find it easy to chop down battle cruisers, in fact, this thing was extremely difficult for space fighters to deal with.

The battlecruiser has 10 to 16 20 to 40 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, of which three 40 mm guns are installed on the omnidirectional rotating turret on the top, and the remaining 20 mm guns are installed in various corners. They are not omnidirectional turrets, but angle-adjustable gun drums.

This ensures that the battlecruiser has no blind spots in firepower. As long as it wants to attack, there will always be a gun that can be aimed at you.

In addition, the battlecruiser has a shield that far exceeds that of a space fighter. It is operated by one pilot and two weapons officers. Its disadvantages are that its speed and flexibility are relatively poor, but for a space fighter, it is like an iron turtle that has nowhere to bite.

The small 20mm water pipe has little effect on it, and even the airborne ion beam has to hit it continuously to penetrate the shield.

The battlecruiser will not give you the opportunity to hit continuously. Any space fighter that dares to circle the battlecruiser will become cosmic garbage.

It's just that this thing is relatively large in size, and is easily targeted by warships, and cannot get close to throw void torpedoes. Otherwise, the battlefield now should be a duel between battlecruisers, rather than space fighters and magic mechas.

Li Chengxi beat it like beating a dog, not because the machine he used had good performance, but because he was used to escaping with a high-speed blow and never entangled.

This made it impossible for the battlecruiser to use its firepower, and it became a complete target.

In short, the battlecruiser will be a sure kill against slow light vehicles, and it just so happens that the speed of the magic mecha is not as fast as that of the space fighter.

In the Fifth Fleet's cruiser formation, not only the aircraft carriers are new recruits, but the additional pilots are also new recruits. They are sent directly after a week of training. This may even be their first time to drive magic mechas into battle in the void.

Hall had been doing simulation training for a long time, and she was still dizzy when she first encountered actual combat. Even professional pilots were like this, let alone recruits.

In addition, it was their first time on the battlefield, and they were probably nervous, so they couldn't even bring out the best flexibility of the magic mecha. Some people drove the magic mecha like driving a car, straight and straight, dodging left and right, and their movements were extremely stiff. Such people were perfect targets for the battle cruiser.

So when the battlecruiser appeared, the friendly forces around it looked like firecrackers, exploding one by one.

Hall pushed the engine to maximum power. Sharp hums and screams were transmitted from the mechanical mechanism on the back to the cockpit. Along with slight vibrations, Hall used rapid dodges to avoid the barrage of bullets fired by the battlecruiser.

If you record her movements and compare them, you will find that it is a 1:1 replica of every operation of Li Chengxi. She has trained Li Chengxi's movements into muscle memory in the virtual machine.

This is not simply copying. The premise for Li Chengxi to dodge anti-aircraft guns is that he can accurately block the blind spot of each anti-aircraft gun. It is not just about being fast or flexible.

This is actually something that is learned from flying an interceptor plane against bombers in the game. Without this skill, the bomber player's hand-operated self-defense machine gun is no joke.

Li Chengxi's seemingly nonsensical actions are based on observation, experience and accurate operation.

Hall's attention became more and more focused. She stared at the battlecruiser without distraction. A silver whirlwind danced in the barrage of bullets. It seemed that the tracer bullets were about to hit her every time, but they were always just a little bit away.

Of course, Li Chengxi is not a player who will passively take a beating. Even in the most intense barrage of attacks, he will find a way to find a shooting window, even if it is only a fleeting opportunity.

Hall, who completely learned from Li Chengxi, also inherited his driving habits. While flying up and down, he would fire the 40mm rapid-fire cannon in his hand from time to time. Whether it could penetrate the shield or not was another matter, but he would definitely fire.

The people on the battlecruiser found that Hall was dodging and approaching, which made them seem a little panicked, and the anti-aircraft guns aimed at other magic mechas also aimed at Hall.

The difficulty of the barrage increased more than twice, and the fire dragons scattered by several tracer bullets seemed to strangle her in the rain of bullets. But it was too late, Hall had already found the angle she wanted.

With one foot stepping on the pedal, the Silver Tornado avoided the two fire nets that were coming at him with an exaggerated move of turning in the air and doing a backflip. As the body of the machine flipped, Hall came to the Achilles' heel of the battlecruiser.

That is the engine location.

When pilots chatted with each other, they always said that the battlecruiser was like a deformed monster made by pulling out a few anti-aircraft compartment modules from a battleship, forcibly putting them together, and adding engines and shield generators.

This is a joke, but it also reflects the fear of it.

But the battlecruiser is not without weaknesses. When the Silver Tornado appears on the back, 5 to 10 degrees lower than the battlecruiser's engine, all its turrets are out of reach.

Hall's information came from Li Chengxi, and Li Chengxi actually discovered this weakness when he first saw the battlecruiser. At that time, he was even driving the Manta shuttle.

The engine is always the biggest exposed weakness of an aircraft, and attacking here will result in a devastating blow.

Without giving the battlecruiser any chance to maneuver and throw the Silver Tornado out of its safe blind spot, Hall immediately picked up his 40mm rapid-fire cannon and fired all the remaining bullets.

There were not many bullets left in the magazine, but the 40mm thin-shelled high-explosive shells were enough to greatly weaken the shield energy of the battlecruiser.

She didn't even change the magazine. She just threw away the rapid-fire gun and took off the folding 180mm howitzer behind her waist.

This cannon has been used before, but the void component of the Silver Cyclone could not withstand its huge recoil. However, this time, Vilania used the parts provided by the Cyclone Federation Military to modify the Silver Cyclone a second time. She patted her chest and guaranteed that there would be absolutely no problem.

As Silver Tornado pulled the trigger, the hard-core armor-piercing bullet hit the weakened shield surface, instantly penetrating the shield and hitting the engine.

Hall could clearly see the battlecruiser's engine explode, and even the flying debris and pipes inside could be seen clearly.

The 180mm howitzer required manual loading and bolt pulling just like a bolt action, so Hall did not use it to finish off the enemy. Instead, he picked up an offensive grenade that looked like a miniature mine and threw it over, then stepped on the pedal and retreated.

It sounds ridiculous to equip magic mechas with grenades. On the one hand, it is because the Storm Kingdom does not know what weapons are the best solution for magic mechas. After all, the configuration of magic mechas is completely different from that of space fighters, and it is still in the exploratory stage.

Another thing is that grenades are flexible.

It does not need to occupy the precious weapon attachment points on the magic mecha, and can be carried on any convenient corner, and throwing a grenade is definitely much faster than changing magazines.

Silver Tornado's heavy fingers pressed the switch on the grenade, and the grenade would activate the detonation fuse 10 meters away from the body or three seconds later.

The battlecruiser, which had lost its engine and was completely unable to move, was hit by a grenade. This time it was not a hard-core armor-piercing bullet that would not explode.

The explosion ignited the energy pipelines in the battlecruiser, causing a large amount of magic power to overflow, which further ignited the ammunition in the warehouse.

Almost at the same time as the grenade exploded, obvious flames and orange flashes began to emerge from inside the battlecruiser, and the entire battlecruiser was rapidly disintegrating.

The three escape pods flew out. The pilots were very decisive. If they had activated the ejection device a little later, they would have been buried with the battlecruiser.
