835. Lost Fleet (7)
Isi-Kos also noticed the abnormal behavior of Separatist fleet, but he believed that this was the other party's natural reaction.
Because according to the investigation, the opponent only has 6 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that have just been received and whose status is still unknown. After all, these warships have been floating in the universe for 25 years with no one to maintain or manage them. It is impossible to guarantee how much combat effectiveness they will have.
In addition, there are some Escort Carrier that cannot be incorporated into the regular fleet. The Gray Horse-class is 210 meters long and is basically a running hangar. The Homeworld-class is modified from the Predator-class heavy replenishment ship. It is 800 meters long and has enough space, but there are too few landing platforms and it cannot fight as a regular army.
As for the five Cobalt-class heavy frigate, without forming a numerical advantage, this is a escort force that is better than nothing.
So the only threat is the almost disabled Plague Titan warship!
But he has 8 Aquitenes-class light cruiser and 5 Hunter Class Battlecruiser! With Plague's main gun destroyed, they would never lose to them even if they were bombarded from a distance.
Therefore, now Isi-Kos is more concerned about how to bring Blade Fleet back intact. Now 6 ships have been taken away by Separatists, which makes him extremely distressed.
That's why he ordered an all-out attack on the transport ship, just to protect more Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser.
It's not like Isi-Kos didn't think that Sefrans-Tann might have taken control of some battleships in advance and then mixed in to trick him, but the chance of this happening was very small.
Because Republic warship is encrypted, a key must be provided to control the warship. Separatists does not have a key and can only be cracked by force. This takes a long time and has to come one by one. Now Separatists's spacecraft in this star field obviously cannot accommodate so many people and equipment to crack dozens or even more warships at the same time.
The most critical factor is that he has repeatedly confirmed that the engines of those battleships are shut down! This is where Isi-Kos's greatest confidence lies!
You must know that for a large 600-meter-long battleship like Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, it takes at least an hour to start the engine from a completely cooled state, generate enough energy to meet the huge energy demand of the battleship, and then start each system one by one.
In other words, even if all 200 battleships are really occupied by Separatists, they will not be able to open fire until an hour later!
As long as you see the engines of these battleships starting to start, it will be too late to slowly turn away.
Besides, the space battlefield is so huge. Even though Blade Fleet is a dense formation, the formation of these 200 warships also stretches for hundreds or thousands of kilometers. How can it be like a land battle and still block me from hitting anyone?
With this in mind, Isi-Kos decisively ignored Shen Qiaoen's warning and continued to go his own way, rushing towards the fleeing Hardcell-class interstellar transport.
Shen Qiaoen knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't call Isi-Kos. He could only slow down his battleship and fall behind, preparing to see how Sefrans-Tann planned to respond.
In fact, what he just suggested is correct. Although Plague Titan warship is so powerful, it can easily deal with several Hunter Class Battlecruisers even if it is severely damaged. But in fact, it is precisely because of the power of Plague that it is the only threat to Separatist fleet!
As long as Galactic Republic's fleet keeps chasing Plague, Plague can only fight alone. No matter what other arrangements are made, no matter what is contained in those Escort Carrier, and no matter whether Blade Fleet is now taken over by Separatists, there is no way to reverse this situation.
However... a truly outstanding strategy not only calculates the situation on the battlefield, but also... human nature!
In order to strengthen the credibility of this deception operation, Sefrans-Tann, which had actually already controlled six Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, specifically asked one of them, Dreadnought-class, to turn off the engine again and put the system on standby. After Republic fleet arrived, it restarted and entered the array under their noses.
At this time, silence is better than sound. This small detail is equivalent to telling everyone in Republic fleet, come and grab it! Otherwise it will be gone!
The 200 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, which originally belonged to Galactic Republic, blinded Isi-Kos and made him make the wrong decision.
On the contrary, Jon Shen, who was filled with hatred, was able to ignore the temptation of Blade Fleet and think about the problem straight to the essence.
Just when Republic fleet was carefully avoiding those 'Galactic Republic's properties' while chasing Separatist fleet, the time was finally ripe!
This time, no reminder was needed, the Force immediately felt a heart-stopping sense of crisis!
Shen Qiaoen and Yisi Kos were shocked at the same time, their eyes full of horror. Is-Kos immediately shouted, "Stop advancing! Turn and retreat!"
But it was finally a step too late.
Sefrans-Tann, who was sitting on Plague Titan warship and commanding the overall situation, suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "Now! The whole army attacks!!"
Following her order, more than a hundred Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers among the Blade Fleets opened the hangar door in unison!
Immediately afterwards, a large group of Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets flew out directly!
That's right! Sefrans-Tann does not have enough manpower or time to crack and activate those Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, but don't forget, these battleships are all on standby because they lost control!
The battleship in standby mode, Hangar Platform, can be opened directly without cracking!
So the pilot of Fourth Civilization only needs to open the Hangar Platform, then get on the Z-95 Headhunter fighter, and then be on standby. This is just a process of opening and closing the door. The daily electricity consumption of the battleship can be satisfied, and there is no need to start the battleship engine at all!
Even so, they did not have enough manpower to occupy all the fighters, and only controlled the hangar on the 120 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser. Each Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser carries 12 aircraft, and there are 1,440 fighter jets in 120 ships.
If it were a normal space operation, in front of a fleet with regional air defense firepower fully deployed, these more than 1,400 backward Z-95 Headhunter fighters would have to pay a heavy price to break through the fleet's Air Defense Circle.
Not to mention that among the five Hunter Classs of Is-Kos, even if they are not fully loaded, there are still 1,500 fighter jets to escort them.
But now, Republic fleet has rushed to the side of Blade Fleet. After these Z-95 Headhunter fighters attacked, they have directly entered the very close range of Republic warship!
They can even immediately lock on to the target and launch an attack!
And the pilots of Fourth Civilization did the same thing.
1440 Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets with the Galaxy Republic Judicial Fleet logo on them just flew out of Hangar Platform and launched a large number of Proton Torpedo towards the Galactic Republic warships!
Thousands of rounds of Proton Torpedo were fired directly at extremely close range, and even the Hunter Class Battlecruiser close-range defense system could not intercept them all.
And at this moment, with the second instructions from Sefrans-Tann, Fourth Civilization's 300 Wraith fighters that had been waiting for a long time all opened their cloaking devices and flew straight towards Republic fleet!
I was watching the live broadcast of The King of Fighters 97 tonight. The offline fights were so realistic that it was so exciting. I'm full of this.
