Chapter 1654: Miscellaneous Army

DPTOS6489, this is the number of the dark star field where the Swan is currently located.

Located between two forward bases, it should have been a route frequently taken for daily patrols or even when personnel moved between the two bases.

Alyssa had passed this route more than once or twice. Logically, this place belonged to the rear and there should be no enemy ambushes, but the reality was that the Fifth Fleet was ambushed.

The only possibility that can be thought of at the moment is that this ragtag fleet is lying in ambush here using wave absorbers and optical camouflage, and it is very likely that it has been lying in ambush for a month or two.

After all, a month or two ago, the Xuanshui Federation had not yet pushed the front line over.

In the past, it was great for the Swan to use wave absorbers and optical camouflage to sneak attack others, but now being attacked by others is really a very frustrating feeling.

The main fleet of the Fifth Fleet is actually fine. Even if it is attacked by surprise, the shields of most ships will not cause too serious damage.

The same couldn't be said for the patrol fleet. Alyssa watched helplessly as the signals of her friendly ships on the command system disappeared one after another.

Fortunately, the advantage of cruise ships is their maneuverability and flexibility. Alyssa changed the route immediately and ordered the fleet to speed up. The cruise ship formation led by the Swan dived down quickly. After paying the price of nearly fifteen warships being sunk, they finally broke away from the frontal firing line.

In this way, they will not be able to block the artillery fire of friendly forces, and if the enemy wants to attack them, they will have to be prepared to be beaten up by friendly forces.

The firepower directed at her was obviously much weaker. Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed her route again, trying to stay away from the main fleet and looking for an opportunity to outflank it from the flank.

"Shield restart."

"Arrive at the designated location."

Alyssa made a mark on the star map.

"Throwing mines."

The mine spreaders hanging on both sides of the Swan rotated, aimed at the coordinates and scattered a large number of mines. The friendly cruise ships following behind also did the same.

The mines launched by the cruiser fleet can slightly interfere with the route of the enemy fleet, which can be regarded as an auxiliary. The actual combat effect is actually higher than that of rockets.

The fleet then began to turn, moving further and further away from the friendly main fleet, and began to try to outflank the enemy from the side and rear.

"Engine light detected, confirmed to be a magical mecha."

"Three hundred, and still increasing!"

"Order the carrier-based aircraft to attack, focus on defense, and don't rush too far forward."

This ragtag fleet seemed to have no matching patrol fleet. Facing Alyssa's flanking and rear-end attack, the opponent directly dispatched carrier-based aircraft instead of sending out patrol fleets to intercept as was the usual practice in combat.

At this critical moment, the first words Li Chengxi said after not speaking for several days were:
"Um... do you want some fruit salad?"

"..."

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Li Chengxi was stunned by what Alyssa did. No, I clearly saw you just entering the base before I went to bed. You couldn’t even complete routine supply and maintenance during a nap. How come you started fighting again the moment I opened my eyes, and the fight was so intense?
Li Chengxi watched for a long time but couldn't understand what was going on. It was as if the Fifth Fleet suddenly started fighting with a group of ragtag troops.

But later Li Chengxi changed his mind and said, hey, no matter what the reason is, just beat him first.

At this time, the takeaway delivery man arrived, so Li Chengxi asked Alyssa if she wanted some?
Obviously, Alyssa didn't have the time. The rotating yellow indicator light in the hangar was particularly dazzling, and all the staff retreated to the safety compartment. The indicator light turned from yellow to green.

The hangar's airlock door slowly opened, and a laser runway extended outward along the hangar.

The catapult made a sharp sound, accompanied by sparks and steam, and one carrier-based aircraft after another was ejected and began to form a formation near the mobile aircraft carrier. Then, according to the route instructions sent by the flight commander, they went to intercept enemy aircraft.

Human beings are creatures with an incredibly fast ability to adapt.

The soldiers under Alyssa are actually just new recruits who have only been in the army for a few months.

But after several months of training in battle, these new recruits have transformed into veterans.

After all, those who couldn’t do it are long gone now.

When they first joined Alyssa's team, they almost hit their friendly warships when launching carrier-based aircraft. Now this group of people can fly in formation skillfully, and use the time during the flight to assign tasks and discuss tactics simply to avoid being in a hurry later.

Soon, dense red dots appeared on everyone's airborne radar, and through the viewfinder, the naked eye could also capture the shining engine lights in the dark star field.

Perhaps because Alyssa is very famous in the military, the mobile aircraft carrier under her command was the first to complete the refit, and all crew members are equipped with the latest magic mechas.

These were not purchased from the Storm Kingdom for emergency purposes, but were improved models based on the Storm Kingdom's magic mechas by the Whirlwater Federation based on the suggestions of frontline officers and soldiers and the efforts of R&D technicians in the rear.

In contrast, the Red Maple Republic, which is at the critical moment of life and death, is not so wealthy for the time being, and it is good enough to have some.

So when the two sides get close to visual distance, you will see that there are only a small number of magic mechas on the other side. Most of them are space fighters, and the models are relatively old. They are old planes that have been pulled out of storage.

But one thing is certain, although this is a ragtag fleet and does not look like the Red Maple Republic Army at all, at least the carrier-based aircraft are indeed from the Red Maple Republic.

The advancement speed in the void was very fast, and the two sides almost started to strangle each other as soon as they entered visual distance.

The magic mecha modified by the Whirlpool Federation has only slight differences from the original version in appearance, but in fact the things inside are completely different. It is more responsive and is equipped with more than a dozen improvements such as assisted driving function.

The most obvious part is actually the weapons.

The new model of magic mecha abandoned the 40mm rapid-fire cannon as its main weapon, and replaced it with 58mm shaped energy bombs or four-barreled continuous ion beams.

The advantage is that the recoil is lower, which prevents the recoil caused by shooting physical weapons from affecting the mobility of the magic mecha, and the power is greater than that of a 40mm rapid-fire cannon.

Moreover, the 58mm shaped charge bombs can still be used interchangeably with the anti-aircraft gun ammunition on warships, ensuring the commonality of parts and reducing logistical pressure.

Using energy weapons such as four-barreled ion beams, the firepower density is higher than that of rapid-fire cannons, and it can further reduce the pressure on logistics for transporting physical ammunition.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, and energy consumption rises sharply.

Although the Cyclone Federation has expanded the capacity of the magic mecha and its energy storage is 20% higher than before, its actual energy consumption is more than 70% higher than the original version, and its endurance has been greatly reduced.

This may not sound like a mature weapon, but in fact, considering the average survival time of the pilot, the problem of poor endurance is not that obvious.

Anyway, the pilot will either have to return to refill the liquid magic power or die on the battlefield before the energy is exhausted, so the long endurance is not very useful.
