1107. Eriadu air combat (2) [Second update, please vote for me and subscribe]
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a soldier in the sensing department on the battleship said loudly, "An increase in Separatists Durov-class Battlecruiser energy level has been detected!"
At the same time, Fire Control Department's officer also came over to report, "General! Separatist fleet The shields of almost all battleships began to cycle at an extremely fast speed. The salvo we just fired had no effect!"
"General! Durov-class Battlecruiser of Separatists is directly replenishing shield energy for other battleships!"
"Separatists The damaged warships are retreating! We don't have time to break their shields again!"
"Damn it!" Admiral Siost punched the table, and his slightly improved mood became extremely bad again. "Separatists's new type of battleship... is the purpose of producing them just to delay time? Bastard!"
The staff officer also shook his head and said, "This kind of Durov-class Battlecruiser, I also think it was made just to disgust people. This kind of battleship has very thin armor and shields, but it has installed these devices..."
"Notify all ships to temporarily stop the attack. Recirculate the cooling system of the shield and main gun and recharge as usual." Xiost quickly calmed down. "Durov-class Battlecruiser's engine power supply is also limited. They cannot replenish the shields of other warships without limit, nor can they increase the engine output of other warships without limit."
This time Admiral Siost has completely understood this disgusting thing like Durov-class Battlecruiser. In his opinion, the confrontation between warships requires stronger firepower, thicker armor, more fighter jets, face-to-face confrontation, and fierce blood! How can there be such a battleship that takes the initiative to give up the attack and focus on defense?
But this kind of warship happened to appear in Separatist fleet, and played a very key role in the battle to protect Eriadu system. To reoccupy Eriadu system, we must find a way to deal with these Dunov Class!
According to the generals and officers on some previous battleships who experienced the air battle that occurred near Eriadu satellite a few months ago, Separatists had already invested in Durov-class Battlecruiser at that time. But at that time, after all, Republic fleet still had the protection of Planetary Shield, so the feeling was not obvious. It just felt that since Dunov Class joined the war, the Separatists battleship was more resistant to beating.
Moreover, the output of this new type of battleship Fourth Civilization is not large, because compared to the Kohl-class Battlecruiser, which also takes the high-power flying route, the technical content of Dunov Class is much higher, so the production cycle and production cost have also increased.
But for Xiost, the greatest luck is that although these Durov-class Battlecruiser are disgusting, they still have an upper limit. Although it can greatly improve the survival rate of Separatist fleet, as long as we grasp the timing of advance and retreat, and seize the interval of Durov-class Battlecruiser's own charging, the battle will not be unable to proceed.
Under the instructions of Xiost, Republic fleet also temporarily began to retreat. Their warships also recirculated their shields and charged their main guns, waiting for the next attack command.
At the same time, the fleet on the opposite side Fourth Civilization is also shrinking and adjusting its formation. It seems that it is going to form a relatively dense formation.
Not only that, warships positioned as support warships in this battle, including Sova-class Carrier and Luukri-Hok-class battleship, are also entering this dense formation.
However, Xiost didn't take it seriously. He felt that this was just an adjustment made by Separatist fleet in order to maximize the role of Durov-class Battlecruiser.
Dunov Class...Xiost gritted his teeth.
"The old men in the Ministry of Science must hurry up! If there are more and more Durov-class Battlecruisers like this among Separatist fleets, our counterattack plan is likely to encounter unexpected strong resistance. We must find a way to counter Durov-class Battlecruisers!" He said fiercely.
The staff officer next to him quickly recorded it on his personal terminal, and then said, "Okay general, I will immediately compile today's combat report and submit your suggestions to Republic Supreme Strategic Command for special research."
"Hurry!" Xiost waved his hand and sat back in the captain's seat. He picked up a glass of juice and took a sip. He breathed a sigh of relief. After several hours of high-intensity command, he also needed to take a rest.
His adjutant quickly came over and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
"Just seize this interval, let's take a good look at these Separatists's ridiculous reinforcements, hehehehe." Xiost said in a very relaxed tone.
Although he was busy and nervous, Xiost still felt very relaxed because he knew that he would definitely win.
Of course he himself is well aware of Galactic Republic's next reinforcement plan. According to many simulations between his staff team and intelligent AI, even in the worst case scenario, they can completely consume Separatist fleet in the Dawn Star Planet war zone within 5 months, and then crush the war to victory.
"I hope His Excellency the Chancellor can give me the opportunity to be the first person to set foot on Dawn Star Planet." Xiost leaned on the backrest, closed his eyes to rest, and lowered his voice, "Separatists wake me up after the reinforcements arrive. I should still be able to sleep for 10 minutes..."
However, less than half a minute after he closed his eyes, he heard someone from the radar department scream, and the alert officer ran over quickly, "General! General!! The sensor has results!"
Admiral Siost was a little unhappy. He didn't even bother to open his eyes. He maintained a half-lying position and said, "Why is there such a fuss? If you can't explain it clearly, your radar department won't be able to eat meat during dinner today."
"The sensor has captured Separatists's reinforcements!" the radar officer shouted, "There is only one ship!!"
Xiost opened his eyes suddenly, "What did you say? There is only one ship!!"
"Yes! There is only one!! Although no optical image has been transmitted yet, according to the sensor scan, the length of this battleship is between 9,000 meters and 10,000 meters! The maximum width is also more than 6,000 meters!! This is a super battleship!!!" the radar officer said loudly.
"The hyperspace fluctuation of only one spaceship can be compared with that of a fleet... a super battleship..." Admiral Siost suddenly jumped up from his seat, jumped in front of the screen in three steps, and looked at the blurry image on the screen. A very strong ominous premonition arose in his heart!
"Separatist fleet... have been waiting for this super battleship?" Admiral Siost said to himself, "9000 to 10000 meters long and 6000 meters wide. This volume is much larger than the Plague Titan warship that wreaked havoc on Republic Core Worlds before!"
At this time, Fourth Civilization's fleet has also completed its formation adjustment. All warships are deployed in a circular array, leaving only a core space in the center of the array...
It's like...
Waiting for the arrival of the monarch!
