2303. Rendili Raid Battle (2)
Duchy of Dawn, Rendili Defense Fleet, Pock Victory II-class Star Destroyer.
"Fire!"
"Fire!!"
"Fire!!!" With a decisive firing order, the Victory II-class Star Destroyer double-turret heavy-duty Turbolaser gun installed on the second deck opened fire one after another. At the same time, the Turbolaser gun installed directly in front of the battleship was also firing simultaneously.
boom! boom! boom!! The firepower of the the Empire warship also began to hit its own warship. Although it was blocked by Deflector Shield, the violent explosion still caused violent vibrations in the warship. People on the bridge suddenly fell on their backs.
"Sir! The energy of Deflector Shield ahead is severely reduced!" the console officer turned around and shouted loudly.
"This ship's left rudder is at 90 degrees, engage the enemy on the broadside!!" The captain immediately gave the order, "Increase the evasion range!"
"Yes!"
Boom! boom! Even on the holographic projection of the battle star map, you can see dense Turbolaser beams being launched. Some of them passed around the battleship, and some of them hit directly. Each hit caused a terrifying explosion, and the shield indicator kept beeping.
"Speed up! Avoid as much as possible!" the captain shouted.
"Speed up!" the operator repeated loudly, while controlling the warship to fly towards the side of the battlefield.
"Sir! The headquarters requires us to maintain our formation for at least 30 seconds!" the communications soldier reported loudly.
"Reply to the headquarters, the formation cannot be maintained, and the ship's shield is seriously damaged! It is forced into an evasive posture!" the captain replied immediately., "Keep firing! Target, Imperial-class Star Destroyer, marked EI-097! Proton Torpedo ready!"
"Missiles coming from the front!!"
Pock The laser cannon on the Star Destroyer immediately reduced its power and fired wildly in rapid-fire mode, forming a light net around the battleship. Most of the hundreds of incoming missiles were intercepted, but there were still fish that slipped through the net.
But when these missiles approached, they suddenly changed direction, flew to the side, and soon disappeared into space.
Several Twinblade-class EW light cruisers flew around, providing powerful electronic warfare support for the battlefield.
At the same time, the Proton Torpedo launched in panic by the Pock was also launched from the side. However, it was completely impossible to expect the Proton Torpedo launched from this distance to achieve any results.
On the current battlefield, when the distance between the fleets of both sides was less than 1 light second, Galactic Empire fleet was already firing on all cylinders. Countless artillery fires were coming. Rendili Defense Fleet was unable to resist it. The left wing fleet deployed by General Trench soon fell into disarray due to the all-out attack.
A mere 200 warships dominated by Victory II-class Star Destroyer on the left wing were unable to withstand the crazy shooting of Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
Even if there are fire support from Starbase Three and thousands of Gauss Fire Platform, they are still at a disadvantage in the air-to-air shooting.
"General! I suggest that the right wing fleet be dispatched immediately and move towards the rear of Imperial fleet!" Malcolm Granger said loudly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... No, that's not the time." General Trench slapped the pointer and said slowly, "He's waiting for me to do this. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
The left wing fleet has begun to show signs of disintegration, and continues to retreat away from the right wing during the pursuit of Imperial fleet. That direction is Starbase Two. At this moment, the powerful Pulse Laser cannon of the interstellar base has opened fire. The thick laser beam shines over and slowly passes over Imperial-class Star Destroyer's Deflector Shield.
However, as the battle continues, neither side has any plans to take off fighter formations. Imperial fleet just stared at the left wing and pursued it fiercely. It seemed that he planned to completely destroy the left wing and then turn around to deal with the right wing.
General Trench has been staring at the formation of Imperial fleet on the holographic star map.
The left wing fleet continued to retreat, and their retreating direction was getting closer and closer to the planet, while Imperial fleet, who was pursuing them, also followed the planet around.
"Now! Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." General Trench slammed the table, "Particle Beam Lance, fire!"
The 40 Calamity-class battlecruisers had already completed charging at this time, and immediately launched a salvo! And at this time, because Imperial fleet is bypassing the planet, the side and rear of their battleship is facing the direction of Calamity-class!
40 to extremely bright beams of light shot out instantly. At this moment, the Imperial fleet formation immediately exploded with fire! Several Victory II-class Star Destroyers that fell behind were directly destroyed by this salvo!
"Good fight!" Malcolm Granger punched hard.
"Right wing fleet, start advancing. Tut, tut, tut, tut." General Trench slowly gave the order, "Take off, fighter formation. Tut, tut, tut, tut... one wave."
One wave of attack formations consists of approximately one thousand fighter jets.
Among the Hangar Platform everywhere, Wraith fighter and Viking fighter started to take off one after another. They immediately turned on the cloaking device and followed Imperial fleet and pounced on them.
As soon as the stealth fighter formation took off, it immediately spread out in all directions, up, down, left, and right, launching attacks from different directions as much as possible to distract Imperial fleet's anti-aircraft firepower.
Countless close-range defense guns opened fire immediately, forming a fire net around the Galactic Empire battleship. A fighter jet was shot down immediately, but more fighter jets rushed over like locusts and prepared to launch Proton Torpedo.
At the same time, Imperial fleet finally opened the hangar door, and a large number of TIE/LN light fighters flew out. Under the guidance of the battleship's flight control department, they flew towards the empty direction but continued to shoot lasers and missiles.
The fighter formations of both sides finally collided. At this moment, countless fireballs exploded, most of which were TIE/LN fighters. Although the mobility of TIE fighter is far greater than that of Wraith fighter, facing the invisible opponent, under the command of the battleship, their reaction was always a beat slower and they were immediately massacred!
However, after Galactic Empire's fleet was attacked from the side and rear, it did not turn, but immediately continued to rush forward at full speed. Soon, the fleet bypassed Rendili Planet and began to leave the battlefield.
And while leaving the battlefield, the fleet suddenly dropped a large number of cylindrical plug-in devices. After these devices were detached, they soon exploded under the action of the built-in detonator. The explosion actually formed a space turbulence, deflecting the aim of almost all Fire Control Radar on Rendili Defense Fleet's side.
"General, there is space turbulence behind Imperial fleet!" An officer came over and said.
"Space... turbulent flow." General Trench frowned.
"I think it may be the Warp Drive plugged in by these warships..." Malcolm Granger was a little unsure. "The space turbulence caused by these Warp Drive only needs to interfere with our Fire Control Radar."
"Hmm..." General Trench looked at Imperial fleet walking away and narrowed his eyes.
Galactic Empire fleet's attack struck directly like a sharp knife. But he didn't cut it to the actual point. Instead, he turned the blade temporarily, cut off a piece of meat, and then quickly took it back.
And their attack position was very clever. They launched the attack from the left side of Starbase Three, kept deflecting, and kept driving away the left side of the defending fleet, and then left the battlefield from the right side of Starbase Two.
The entire attack was always kept between the two star bases, without allowing the star base's firepower to be fully utilized.
This offensive is sharp and precise!
