1688, Battle of Dawn(6)
"Brothers! Kill me!!" Dryden-Vos roared loudly, and Crimson Dawn's battleship also began to accelerate forward, pouring all its firepower towards Republic Fleet.
These vicious gangsters are usually lawless and they have a natural hatred for order. Now that I have the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, I will naturally vent the rage in my heart completely.
Other large and small gangs including White Worm Gang, mercenaries, bounty Hunter, and smuggler's warships were not to be outdone and launched attacks one after another.
Some small groups even only have 3 or 4 small frigates, but they are still extremely fierce, looking for opportunities to open fire on Republic warship.
The battle situation was completely messed up almost from the beginning. Under the impact of thousands of small high-speed warships, Republic fleet was originally divided into two parts to prepare to attack the two poles of Dawn Star Planet, and then gradually dispersed under the fire of Star Ring defense facilities.
Now they were facing attacks from thousands of small warships, and soon they were fighting independently.
And such a battlefield situation is fatal to Hunter Class Battlecruiser!
Hunter Class is not good at melee fighting!
The eight main guns, which were too few in number and in odd positions, were completely powerless in the face of attacks from all directions. Even more deadly was the command from General Commander Cassio-Tagge to take off all fighter jets.
This command caused all 65 Hunter Class Battlecruiser to fully unfold the bow Hangar Platform to quickly release fighter jets. This not only further interfered with the shooting angle of the main gun, but also made Hangar Platform the biggest weakness!
And those small warships took this opportunity to rush directly into the Republic fleet array, turning the battle into a melee!
A huge number of Galaxy Republic fighter squadron took off densely. In order to speed up the take-off, many fighter jets did not even have time to use electromagnetic ejection devices to accelerate, and directly used anti-gravity engines to take off. But in this case, the fighter will also experience an acceleration process, and the fighter at this time is very vulnerable.
Normally, it would be difficult for ordinary enemies to seize such a fighter opportunity, but the problem is that today's enemies are not ordinary!
In this miscellaneous fleet, there are many Shriken Class and Stilat Class Light Corvette that have been retired from the Duchy of Dawn Navy front line. This kind of frigate was originally designed to annihilate enemy fighter formations, but now it has once again exerted its residual heat on the battlefield of Dawn Star Planet.
But what is even more deadly are the more than 300 Rift Class Corvettes brought by Hutt Oruba-Goresla! This kind of frigate has speed and flexibility comparable to that of fighter jets, and its firepower is comparable to that of heavy frigates. Facing those Galactic Republic fighter jets that are still gradually accelerating, it is like a tiger among sheep!
I only saw a Rift Class Corvette rushing towards a Hunter Class Battlecruiser at high speed. The three 150mm caliber projectile cannons on the frigate fired dozens of shells in an instant, and the shells directly shred several aircraft. The V-19 Torrent fighter was taking off, and the powerful kinetic energy was still there, and it shot into the Hangar Platform of Hunter Class, causing a violent explosion.
Seeing that the Hunter Class was already in a state of shield overload, the Goresla Family gang member piloting the Rift Class Corvette gave a ferocious laugh and dived directly to rush in from the Hunter Class's greatly expanded Hangar Platform hatch. After passing through the air-tight shield, the three 150mm caliber projectile cannons directly started strafing mode!
Boom boom boom boom boom!!! The Company One series of explosions set off in the Hunter Class hangar. The fighter jets and a large number of ground crews that had not had time to take off were all torn to pieces by this powerful force!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!! Under the isolation of the air-tight shield, there was air in the Hangar Platform. The Rift Class's engine made a hoarse roar in the air. The next second, the battleship passed through the air-tight shield and flew into the vacuum of space again. The terrifying sound stopped abruptly.
Only the Hunter Class Battlecruiser was left, which was turning hastily. A fire broke out inside its Hangar Platform, and the warship was trying to close the hatch to put out the fire. Some of the surrounding fighter jets that had taken off first were now unable to return to their own warships.
But the battleship's bad luck is not over yet!
A Hiigaran-class battlecruiser in the distance had its eyes on it. After cutting in at high speed, the two Particle Beam Cannons on the bow opened fire instantly! This shot was very accurate. It was fired directly from the hangar door that had not been closed, and directly penetrated the devastated Hangar Platform!
The overwhelmed Hunter Class Battlecruiser finally caused the Company One string to explode during this attack, and was directly blown into two pieces!
This is a 4000 versus 66 battle! The two battle groups of Cassio-Tagge have 60 Hunter Class, plus their own flagship Commander-class Dreadnought and the escorting five Hunter Class. Such a force, even with the cover of 20,000 fighter jets, is still trapped in desperate chaos fighting on their own.
What's more, the condition of those fighter jets is also very bad!
The first was the first batch of more than 2,000 fighter jets that took off. These fighters were the small group of fighter jets that initially took off against Dawn Star Planet, and then took off to carry out bombing missions against Star Ring. Now they have exhausted their weapons and energy and are preparing to return. However, when they return, they find that all Republic warship are taking off fighter jets. They have no chance to return to their warships!
So when these more than 2,000 fighter jets were attacked by Rift Class Corvette, they became the first victims without the ability to fight back.
Forget about more than 2,000 fighter jets, but you must know that these 2,000 fighter jets protect 400 Y-wing bomber! This is a very precious heavy firepower strike platform!
After all 400 Y-wing bombers were destroyed, one-third of the Republic Fleet bombers were given away in vain.
But this is not the end. After more than 10,000 fighter jets successfully took off and joined the battle, many fighter jets were injured and wanted to return, but they were also unable to return. Because only then did they realize that the battleships they belonged to were retreating and dodging. Many of them simply closed the hangar doors under the constant attacks of those frigates!
Only then did these pilots suddenly realize that in this battle, they had become disposable consumables!
However, thanks to the brave fighting of these consumables, Republic fleet could barely stabilize the situation. But this temporary balance of power is mainly brought about by the more than 10,000 fighter jets! And how long can these fighter jets last?
What is certain is that it is definitely inferior to those ferocious small battleships!
