Chapter 1664: Battle of Broken Horn (8)

Due to the huge scale of this battle, the changes in the battle situation are not as rapid as in the past, but everyone can see the current situation clearly.

The commander of the cruiser of the First Fleet sent a communication and held a small meeting with the cruiser commanders of several fleets including Alyssa.

The meeting ended in less than three minutes and a consensus was reached.

The cruiser formation will launch an attack on the enemy's main force.

The cruise ship formation is now on the back of the gas planet. Once it circles around the planet, it will come face to face with the main force of the enemy.

That is a huge formation composed of tens of thousands of main battleships of various types. With one salvo, their cruise ships will disappear on the spot.

But this is not a reckless rush forward. The purpose of the cruise ship formation is to create opportunities for friendly forces to launch reactor jammers.

If we don't get rid of this thing, we will lose the battle sooner or later.

Even if it could attract the attention of the enemy's main force and reveal even a single flaw, it would be worth it if the entire cruise ship formation was destroyed.

The formation commander immediately informed the royalists of the news, hoping they could provide cover.

The royalist fleet soon sent a reply, saying that they would not only provide cover, but also be willing to charge along with the real warriors.

The cruising fleet quickly surfaced and gravity sailed above the star ring, using gravity to accelerate the ships. About fifty minutes later, the fleet passed the star ring and passed the gas planet.

At this time, the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic could be clearly seen. It was as if the dazzling Milky Way was about to lose its luster. The dense engine lights and ion beams as dense as a rainstorm almost forced the bridge to activate the blackout mode, otherwise it would be impossible to see anything clearly.

One more step forward and you'll be within bombardment range.

Well, it is to get within the enemy's artillery range.

The main guns of a cruiser cannot fire as far as the main guns of a battleship. In other words, if you continue to get closer, you will just be hit.

But the fleet continued to advance on the star ring, firing a large number of torpedoes and mines along the way.

At this distance, the torpedo has no chance of hitting and will only cause a little trouble to the enemy.

But it's trouble.

Of course, the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic also discovered the approach of the cruise ship formation at the first time. Everyone was not stupid, and they immediately understood why the cruise ships approached regardless of the danger.

A cruiser fleet can do little damage to a main fleet unless it is brought in at a very close distance, and even then, it is extremely difficult to sink a larger warship with a cruiser.

It's like a destroyer jogging up to a battleship. All you can do is fire all the guns on the ship at the battleship's deck. It will get hurt, but it will definitely not sink it.

Besides, it is impossible for the cruise ship formation to rush so close, otherwise it will be destroyed halfway.

So as the cruise ship approached, the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic began to change its formation, and a small part of it changed its course to deal with the cruise ship and the royalist fleet that were trying to approach.

This is actually enough to deal a fatal blow to the cruise ship formation.

It was not enough to merely attract the attention of a small part of the fleet.

The cruise ship formation relied on the meteorites and asteroids in the star rings as cover, and released carrier-based aircraft as they approached.

It is absolutely impossible for the cruise ship to break through the blockade and rush forward directly. The only way at present is to rely on carrier-based aircraft carrying a large number of void torpedoes to launch a saturation attack, forcing the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic to devote more energy to dealing with them.

Regardless of whether it was the cruise ship formation or the carrier-based aircraft pilots who launched the saturation torpedo attack at this time, they were in a life-or-death situation.

The communication channel was unusually quiet. For a moment, Hall thought that he had closed the friendly channel before and did not open it again. After checking the communication system, he confirmed that it was not a mechanical failure, but that no one was talking.

If you listen carefully, the best you can hear is faint breathing, and you can't be sure if it's coming from you.

Among the pilots, there are many veterans who have fought in meteorite belt lightning operations, but even last time, everyone’s mood was not as heavy as it is now.

After all, no one is stupid, and everyone knows the purpose of releasing carrier-based aircraft at this time. Similarly, the Red Maple Republic also knows it.

Without the advantage of a surprise attack, the carrier-based aircraft will face the anti-aircraft fire of the real main fleet. Even if the number and quality of the aircraft fleet this time are far superior to before, the casualty rate will definitely be more exaggerated than last time.

In other words, after one wave of air strikes, it is very likely that only one in ten of our men will survive.

It would be a miracle if everyone was in a good mood under such circumstances.

But Hall seemed a little different. She felt nervous when she attacked for the first time, but now facing greater danger, she was not nervous at all.

This is actually determined by the different psychological characteristics of each person. Some people will become hysterical or taciturn when they are extremely nervous. Hall is the type who is not nervous even when he is overly nervous.

But having said that, every time I take my hand away from the control ball of the magic mecha, I always realize that my palms are soaked with cold sweat, which is very uncomfortable.

"We are about to leave the asteroid belt, please stay hidden."

The flight commander's words suddenly appeared in the communication channel, which startled everyone, and soon the fleet broke away from the meteorite belt that made up the star ring.

After leaving the meteorite, there should be nothing but empty space outside without any shelter, and at this distance one would be shot into a sieve by the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery.

But the good news is that after leaving the meteorite belt, a large number of warship wreckage appeared ahead.

These debris were left over from the fierce battle just now. Although the number is not as dense as the meteorite belt, it can still provide a certain cover.

Lights began to flicker around the aircraft, and for a moment Hall's brain seemed to be stuck. It took him a moment to realize that it was actually an anti-aircraft artillery shell equipped with a proximity fuse that exploded.

Shrapnel continued to rain down on the fleet, and since there was no air attenuation in the void, these shrapnel would be extremely deadly.

Some friendly forces flying space fighters can still block with their shields, but magic mechas have no shields and can basically only rely on their body to withstand the attack.

Hall saw that from time to time some people were separated from the team because of being hit by shrapnel, and some were very unlucky and turned into orange flashes.

From behind, artillery fire from friendly forces attempted to clear the way for the fleet, but it was better than nothing and could not change the situation where everyone was being targeted by anti-aircraft guns.

"Enemy catapulting carrier-based aircraft confirmed."

Bad news comes one after another.

The number of carrier-based aircraft on a main battleship is definitely less than that on a mobile aircraft carrier. Most of the carrier-based aircraft carried are used to do miscellaneous tasks, rather than being needed for fighting.

But look at the number.

Dense red dots began to appear on the radar. They were definitely much worse than the fleet of aircraft launched by professional aircraft carriers, but they were still very deadly for Hall's group of aircraft with four void torpedoes hanging on them and their maneuverability was greatly reduced.
