2011, Csilla encirclement battle (middle)
"The enemy fleet is confirmed to be incoming! It is 1.2 light minutes away from Csilla!"
"Start the engine! Raise the shield! The close-in defense artillery team is in position immediately!"
"The engine is warming up! It is expected to take 20 minutes to reach full power!"
"Csilla is required to take off the fighter formation for cover!" On Red Comet III, combat personnel from various departments were already in place.
These are all the best and most elite naval officers and soldiers of Duchy of Dawn, and unlike Duchy of Dawn Navy, other warships generally have more than 60% robot crew members, the 14,000 people controlling the warship on Red Comet III are all humans!
Tang Xiao was sitting on the bridge with his family members Adele-Ulan, Tang Xing Tang Yun, and Leia, watching the large-scale battle that was about to break out.
There was no tension visible on his face.
However, Adele-Ulan and several children looked very nervous, with their eyes fixed on the holographic projection. Especially Tang Yun, she grabbed Adele's shirt, gritted her teeth, but her eyes were full of anger.
"Grand Duke, it will take another 20 minutes for our battleship engine to reach full power. Before that, we may need to defend passively." The captain came over and said.
Tang Xiao nodded and said calmly, "Do your own thing. You don't have to report everything to me. Prepare my spaceship and don't worry about the rest."
"Yes!"
Now the biggest problem for the defenders of Csilla is this - because they never expected that the enemy could cross the node of the hyperspace channel and directly reach Csilla, all the warships defending here are on standby.
To be precise, apart from some small warships on daily duty, the warships stationed at Csilla will be docked in the berths and in standby mode. It is estimated that this process takes an hour for a warship to go from a completely cold engine state to a fully started engine.
Now in the middle of a war, even if the battleship is on standby, the engine will keep warming up, but even so, it will take anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour to reach full power output. During this period of time, although the battleship cannot be said to be unable to move at all, it is certainly unable to reach its peak state.
"General! The enemy fleet divided its forces and began to attack!" The radar soldier turned back and reported to the captain, "There are 60 warships maneuvering in the direction of Eternal! Another 140 warships are moving towards our ship! The remaining warships maintain a gathering posture and move forward steadily."
"Where is the Csilla fighter formation?" the captain asked.
"Csilla's fighter formation has taken off and will arrive on the battlefield in 30 minutes! Eternal has taken off 180 fighter jets, including 80 Wraith fighter, 60 Viking fighter, and 40 Sabre fighter! In addition, 200 fighter jets have taken off from space stations around Csilla and have arrived on the battlefield!"
The captain looked back at the expressionless Tang Xiao and gave an order loudly, "Let the fighter jets arriving on the battlefield cover Eternal Super Carrier! Our ship continues to move forward and attack head-on!"
"Yes!"
"No!!!!" However, at this time, a sharp cry came from the side, and Tang Yun was pointed at the captain and shouted loudly, "Why is our battleship advancing!! Why is the fighter formation not protecting us!! Grand Duke of Dawn is here! The first princess is also here!! Let the fighter jets come back to protect us, this ship retreats!!"
At this moment, Tang Yun's beautiful, delicate, and immature face was full of anger, and there were tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
The captain was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He turned back and stared at Tang Xiao.
However, Tang Xiao still maintained his sitting posture and said calmly, "See what I do? I remember I told you, leave me alone and do what you should do."
"Father!" Tang Yun looked at Tang Xiao, his big watery eyes full of grievances.
However, Tang Xiao just said lightly, "This is a rare opportunity, let's experience the battlefield."
"This ship continues to move forward!" The captain turned around and gave the order loudly.
"Enemy missiles are incoming! Close-in defense artillery fire!" came the voice from the Fire Control Department.
At this moment, the first wave of thousands of missiles from Grysk Hegemony's fleet has arrived! The more than 2,000 close-in defense guns on Red Comet III opened up their firepower, instantly forming a dense fire net around the battleship!
Missiles were intercepted and destroyed one after another, and countless brilliant fires bloomed in space. At this time, the fighter jet formations that had entered the combat area flew towards those missiles, intercepting them with short-range combat missiles and laser cannons.
Layer after layer of interception nets, most of the thousands of missiles were destroyed!
boom! boom! boom!! There was a dull explosion inside the battleship! It was a violent explosion when a few missiles that slipped through the net landed on the battleship's Deflector Shield.
Hearing the explosion, Tang Yun's face became paler and her body trembled. But because Tang Xiao was still sitting there as steady as a mountain, she could only sit with Tang Xiao.
Noticing her daughter's condition, Adele-Ulan took her daughter's soft little hand and patted it gently.
At the same time, Eternal Super Carrier was also retreating in a hurry, looking a little embarrassed. However, the more than 1,100 close-in defense guns and short-range missile launchers on the warship were still firing wildly, forming a barrage of fire around the warship.
Grysk Hegemony Fleet's missiles are still coming in an endless stream, and at the same time, the first wave of assault warships are getting closer and closer!
60 high-speed battleships have approached Eternal. They began to release fighter jets. At the same time, the main guns of the battleships also opened fire with full force!
Unknown Regions's races and civilizations do not have blaster weapon technology, so all their warships use laser weapons. The range is short, but there is no need to aim, it hits when fired.
The scorching beams of light shone on Eternal and were completely blocked by Deflector Shield, but the violent energy reaction still left countless ripples outside Deflector Shield.
Eternal was still retreating desperately trying to distance itself. Faced with the crazy siege of 60 high-speed warships, such fights were not what Endless-class Super Carrier was good at.
The high-speed battleships besieging Eternal are about 400 meters long. They are all sharp in shape, like a ferocious bone spur. On the bow of the battleship is a powerful laser cannon, which is the main gun of the battleship. On both sides of the battleship, there are more small spur-like structures, which also fire continuously and emit lasers.
At this time, from Eternal's spaceport, Steadfast-class Cruiser and Twinblade-class EW light cruiser had completed their activation, and left the spaceport in a vertical attitude to join the battle.
And according to the order, the fighter jets taking off from Eternal all rushed towards the 60 high-speed battleships!
At the same time, the few carrier-based aircraft surrounding those high-speed battleships also bravely attacked!
