643.Battle of Christophsis (9)
The scene of thousands of missiles being launched at the same time and then exploding at the same time is spectacular even in the vast space!
The missiles were launched in a dense sea, and then exploded at designated locations. The explosion of each missile formed a deadly radiation cloud in the universe, and this radiation cloud continued to expand. In just over ten seconds, the radiation cloud completely covered thousands of kilometers in front of the fleet!
Galactic Republic fighter squadrons, which was flying at full speed, crashed directly into it!
Fighters that came into contact with the radiation cloud began to decompose almost instantly. The shields were melted, the metal was brittle, and within a few seconds, they were directly broken into pieces by the radiation cloud containing powerful radiation energy!
The fighter jets driven by Obi-Wan-Kenobi were slightly behind. After sensing the danger, he immediately ordered all the fighter jets to turn, but it was still a step too late. He just watched this tragic scene.
In the first wave of 1,100 fighter jets, at least 800 flew directly into the radiation cloud. Then their communications were instantly interrupted, and they were broken down into space dust by the radiation cloud before they even had time to send out their final screams.
"All fighter squadrons, retreat immediately! Repeat, retreat immediately!!" Obi-Wan-Kenobi shouted loudly in the communication. The retreat instructions of Wullf-Yularen were also sent at the same time.
The remaining Galactic Republic fighter squadrons had actually begun to turn around and run away. The terrifying scene of this wave of missile salvos made them lose every ounce of courage to continue fighting.
However, before they flew too far, ten dazzling beams of light passed by them, and then hit Hunter Class Battlecruiser directly in front of Republic fleet!
A total of three Hunter Class Battlecruiser were hit, and the shields were penetrated almost instantly. The aftermath of the attack fell on the armor, and debris suddenly flew everywhere! One of the Hunter Class's Hangar Platform was penetrated, and the cabin inside suddenly burst into flames. The fire was ignited by the oxygen produced inside the battleship, and was quickly extinguished by the vacuum of the universe. As the air continued to spurt out, tongues of fire shot hundreds of meters away.
"Our three warships suffered heavy damage and all lost their combat capabilities!" the combat staff turned around and said loudly to Wullf-Admiral Yularen.
"Immediately analyze the opponent's attack! Is it a kinetic energy weapon? Dawn Star Planet's Kohl-class Battlecruiser is equipped with a shaft-based kinetic energy weapon." Wullf-Yularen asked.
"No, it's Energy Weapons! According to analysis, it's a fusion ion cluster bound by a magnetic field!" A technician immediately came to a conclusion from the computer data.
"Damn it! Where did these Separatists come from with so many powerful battleships? First it was Kohl-class, and today Masha-class and this unknown battleship appeared!" Wullf-Yularen punched the console hard, "The whole army retreated and retreated to the other side of Christophsis to defend!"
Republic fleet immediately began to turn and move, and at this time, Separatist fleet was fully fired!
The triple main gun at the front of Martha-class heavy cruiser fired the powerful Pulse Laser, and the quadruple anti-ship missile launchers on both sides were all opened, and large anti-ship missiles up to 5 meters long were launched directly!
The nearby Galactic Republic fighter jets immediately focused on these missiles and opened fire to intercept them. The laser cannons on the Hunter Class Battlecruiser also fired with all their strength. However, these missiles were also equipped with shield generators and were extremely fast. They were dodging irregularly during the flight.
Fighters and close-in fire intercepted about two-thirds of the anti-ship missiles, but the rest all hit!
The huge power of the large anti-ship missile caused Hunter Class Battlecruiser's shield to flash. Not only that, the explosion also exploded an orange radiation cloud. Under the influence of the magnetic field, these radiation clouds actually penetrated behind the shield and directly began to damage and decompose Hunter Class Battlecruiser's armor!
The maintenance robots equipped on the battleship were launched from the cabin one after another, trying to repair the continuously damaged armor of the battleship, but as soon as they got close, they were directly broken into pieces by the radiation cloud!
The radiation cloud lasted for nearly a minute before gradually dissipating. In that area, the battleship's armor had been decomposed into a large hole, and exposed wires and electronic components were constantly emitting sparks.
Under constant blows, Republic Fleet continued to retreat. They flew along the equator of Christophsis, and finally got rid of the pursuit of these warships and hid on the other side of the planet to reorganize.
This battle lasted less than 20 minutes, but Republic Fleet lost nearly 900 fighters, and three Hunter Class Battlecruisers were severely damaged and lost their combat capabilities.
The fleet of Confederacy of Independent Systems did not continue to pursue. After they merged with the fleet of General Trench, the hangar doors of these battleships opened, and dozens of APOD-33 transport planes flew out and landed on Christophsis.
At this time, the screen on the General Trench flagship bridge showed the indifferent face of Sefrans-Tann. She said coldly, "Republic fleet is temporarily retreating, but this victory is not decisive. Before they notice the combat mode of our warships, the situation must be opened on the ground as soon as possible."
"If you are talking about those transport planes just now... tsk tsk tsk tsk, that's not enough." General Trench tapped his palm with the pointer and said slowly.
"Dawn Star Planet cannot send too many troops to participate in this battle, but the contents of these transport planes are enough to surprise Galactic Republic's ground troops." Sefrans-Tann said coldly, "We still have three hours to prepare. After that, we will launch a general attack on Republic Fleet, and then we will take advantage of the chaos to launch our plan!"
Dozens more spaceships left hyperspace and came to the battlefield, including 30 Star-class Repair Drone Mothership, as well as some transport ships carrying supplies. These transport ships immediately went to those Martha-class heavy cruiser to start replenishing missiles, and some went to those I-shaped warships to replace capacitors.
Those I-shaped battleships are surprisingly Behemoth-class battlecruiser (Behemoth-class Battlecruiser)! Terran Empire is the second generation main battleship in "StarCraft"!
This is also a warship jointly researched and manufactured by Fourth Civilization Tyran Heavy Industries and InterGalactic Banking Clan after Tang Xiao reached an agreement with Thorn-Hill.
In "StarCraft", Terran Empire's first-generation main battleship is Leviathan-class (Leviathan-class). This kind of battleship is not technically difficult, but its combat performance is also very average. As an improved second-generation main battleship, Behemoth-class, it is a very powerful and practical battleship that has been baptized by war in the plot of "StarCraft"!
Behemoth-class battlecruiser, 1300 meters in length, in an I-shape as a whole, has powerful firepower. It is equipped with 4 heavy-duty Pulse Laser guns as main guns, 8 secondary guns, and 50 sets of close defense systems. What's even more terrifying about this kind of battleship is the semi-axle base Energy Weapons - Yamato Cannon (Yamato Cannon) equipped on it!
Yamato Cannon uses magnetic field constraints to create a fusion ion cluster containing extremely high energy, and then launches it at an ultra-high speed through electromagnetic acceleration! A single shot will consume more than half of the energy reserve of the battleship's reactor, and then it will take a long time to recharge.
But the power of Yamato Cannon has just been reflected in Hunter Class Battlecruiser!
