167. Battle of Malastare Canyon (2)
Igor commanded Fourth Civilization fleet to form an array. The five Cobalt-class heavy frigates with the best protection capabilities came forward, the six Revenge-class light destroyers with the strongest firepower were in the middle, and the 60 Hammer-class light frigates were arranged around.
The Malastare space defense force hurriedly took off more than ten Orec-class fighters. At the same time, the space station launched several Proton Torpedos.
Such a counterattack looks simply childish to Igor-Zavalov. The distance between the two sides is more than 2,000 kilometers. Launching Proton Torpedo and taking off a fighter jet at this distance is a complete suicide!
"Start electronic interference! Hammer-class frigate locks on the trajectory of Proton Torpedo! Intercept immediately after entering the range!" Igor gave the order.
Two minutes later, all 30 Hammer-class frigates equipped with laser turrets opened fire. The blue laser beam enveloped them like a network, and all the Proton Torpedos launched by the opponent were blown into balls of fire.
Immediately after Orec-class fighter entered the optimal shooting range of Cobalt-class frigate, Gunner Chief on the frigate gave the order, "Fire!!"
Cobalt Light Frigate The laser cannon directly in front of it immediately fired out laser beams!
Two Orec-class fighters were immediately destroyed, and the remaining ones scattered in all directions, rolling to avoid while firing another round of airborne Proton Torpedos.
However, an attack of this level cannot break through the array of battleships. In the absence of fire cover from large battleships, fighter jets rashly move into the opponent's fleet, and the result is death!
Apart from moving forward, Fourth Civilization fleet's spacecraft made no evasive action at all, it just pressed forward. Each spacecraft performed its own duties and was responsible for the air defense of one of the airspaces. The intensive firepower continuously shot down Malastare and Aurek-class fighter.
The battle only lasted less than 5 minutes. Although the pilots of the Malastare defense force were brave enough to fight to the last man, their results were minimal. In addition to some explosive laser beams hitting the target and causing some damage to the Fourth Civilization fleet's shield, only one of the airborne Proton Torpedos in the melee hit one of the Cobalt-class frigates.
Then, Fourth Civilization's fleet began to violently bomb the defensive space station. The Turbolaser Turret and Proton Torpedo launchers installed on the space station tried their best to fight back, but still, after 10 minutes, the space station was completely destroyed!
At this time, a small fleet had begun to gather near another defensive space station of Malastare. Basically they all take off from the airport near the capital Pixelito of Malastare. Most of them are spaceships converted from cargo ships, about 20 of them. In addition, there are more than 30 Orec-class fighter.
This is all the belongings of Malastare.
They sacrificed this defensive space station here to create precious time for their defensive fleet to deploy.
However, such resistance is doomed to be in vain!
Fourth Civilization fleet immediately turned around and rushed towards the Malastare defense fleet. Fire directly without any probing!
Cobalt-class heavy frigate Although there are only two laser turrets, the turrets have high power, fast firing rate, and concentrated firepower. Five ships line up in a row and fire continuously. At the same time, they concentrated all the shield energy on the bow of the ship to withstand the crazy counterattack of the defending fleet.
The firepower of Revenge-class light destroyer is even more powerful. The firepower of four twin laser turrets and two plasma bomb launchers simply makes the defending fleet desperate.
Because Fourth Civilization's fleet uses blue laser weapons, it is in sharp contrast to the red blaster beams of Malastare's defense fleet. But it is obvious that on this battlefield, blue firmly suppresses red.
Fourth Civilization's fleet always maintained a distance of 500 kilometers, and the formation was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment. Malastare The defensive fleet could not break through their fire network even if they risked their lives.
Their fleet is now very complete, with plasma bombs that work well against shields and blue laser cannons for point-to-point attacks, including providing close firepower. When Pulsar-class frigate is put into mass production, they will also have a weapon that can effectively destroy the armor of enemy spacecraft.
In comparison, the Malastare defense fleet, all of which were saved from rations and purchased from the black market, was too shabby.
The results are self-evident.
Igor-Zavalov never had any intention of letting Wraith fighter take off, and the battle was over.
"Galactic Republic will make you pay the price!!" Space station Commander issued his final roar in the public channel, followed by a violent explosion. He died in the line of duty and died under the bombing of Fourth Civilization fleet.
Tang Xiao shook his head, "Contrary to what you think, Battle of Malastare Canyon is just the beginning of Galactic Republic's turmoil."
Fourth Civilization's fleet flew around Malastare to ensure that they no longer had any resistance. By the way, they destroyed all communication satellites and navigation satellites in the outer reaches of the atmosphere, plunging the entire Malastare into darkness and panic.
At this time, General Trench had also completed the defense arrangement at the Malastare Narrows position, and also placed Interdictor, completely blocking the hyperspace channel around Malastare.
Because the communication satellite was destroyed, it took almost a day for the news that Malastare was blocked to reach Galactic Senate, but the speaker Phineas-Valorum had already decided not to publicly interfere in the Malastare dispute.
Under the secret organization of Valorum, he privately used some funds to find assistance for Malastare.
Because the Dustig Sector defense fleet to which Malastare belonged was bribed by the Corporate Alliance, Valorum had no choice but to lead the Quermal Sector defense fleet, and the defense fleets from the Teyus and Var-Hagen sectors began to assemble. On the surface, this fleet participated in the war in the name of mercenaries. According to public documents, they were hired by Malastare and all their actions had nothing to do with Galactic Republic officials.
Then, under the instruction of Valorum, Galactic Senate organized an investigation team to go to Malastare, nominally to mediate the dispute between the two parties. But in fact, there is a special person in this investigation team - Wullf-Captain Yularen, the nominal investigator consultant.
Wullf-Yularen will join the fleet as a consultant and serve as Commander of the fleet. He is responsible for repelling Corporate Alliance's mercenary fleet and rescuing Malastare!
