Chapter 755 Humiliation
Fleet Commander Joe Paltrow was skeptical of the telegram sent by the scout ship.
Creating a p-storm at a depth of 1,500 meters that can burn out all nuclear bomb electronic systems is an impossible task no matter how you look at it.
To be entrusted with important tasks by Turamon, Joe Paltrow is naturally not an incompetent person. Although he had doubts about the telegram sent by the reconnaissance ship, the loss of all nuclear bombs did happen right before his eyes.
"Order the heretic-class assault boat to detonate those shaped explosive bombs immediately."
Although he doesn't know what happened underwater, what is certain is that it must be related to the goal of this mission---that unpredictable guy.
Turamon's orders to him were to bury the boy in the Kandonia Trench at all costs.
"At all costs", this word is very heavy, heavier than his life.
Therefore, even if you risk your life for this, you must ensure that the task is completed.
"Order the frigate formation to carry out the second round of bombing. Once it reaches 700 meters, it will be detonated immediately."
"700 meters?" A staff officer was shocked: "If we detonate at such a depth, the aftermath will affect us."
"Execute the order." ∵☆dǐng∵☆ǎn∵☆little ∵☆ said, ⌒∞ Joe Paltrow said with a cold face.
The communications officer did not dare to neglect, and immediately issued the latest order to the command systems of each ship.
This approach is tantamount to suicide!
Similar thoughts echoed in the minds of commanders at all levels, but they did not dare to disobey orders, so they could only bite the bullet and carry out the orders of the commanders.
The Heretic-class fast assault boat took the lead and detonated the shaped explosive bombs set on the ground beds on both sides of the Kandonia Trench.
The muffled rumble was preceded by a shock wave that rose from the water to the sky one step at a time, and the readings of the sonar systems of each ship burst instantly. The calm sea began to boil, and then it looked like someone poured a pot of water into a hot oil pan.
The clean sea water became extremely turbid, and the hot water rose into the air, splashing a water column more than ten meters high. Then it fell heavily, slapping on the waves that followed, splashing milky white water.
The dull explosion continues to ferment, the old wave has not yet risen, and the expanding airflow pushes the new wave into the sky,
Collide with those predecessors. A more majestic stacked wave is formed, bringing the entire sea area into turmoil.
The water waves radiate towards the sky, and the big waves come and go, stretching away.
If it is just a simple bomb explosion, it cannot affect the sea surface environment for a long time, and those waves will slowly dissipate and restore the original calm. However, the shaped explosives caused extremely serious damage to the ground bed near the trench, and some areas collapsed and cracked. Even landslides, the situation of the entire trench is precarious.
Above the sea, the frigate formation began the second round of bombing.
According to the prediction of the intelligence processing team, if the warhead dropped in the second round explodes at a water depth of 700 meters, it will cause serious landslide disasters in the upper area of the trench, and a large number of rocks will bury half of the trench.
Although Joe Paltrow's idea at the beginning was to blow up the entire trench and completely bury Tang Fang and the confidential facilities below, but what happened just now made him have to give up this idea. The next best thing is to choose to use the method of making cliff landslides.
Regrettably. He was a step late, but it can also be said that the Protoss transport ship was a step faster. The frigate formation was counting down to bombing, and more than 20 golden lights and shadows suddenly emerged from the turbulent sea, chopping the waves, soaring up, and directly piercing the fleet above.
The sudden change caught the Special Service Fleet by surprise. Joe Paltrow didn't expect Tang Fang to come up so fast anyway, as if he had predicted the actions of the Lionheart King's independent fleet. This directly proved that the loss of contact with the tactical nuclear bomb just now was also caused by the other party.
He knew those golden fighters, just like the scene in the video clip played at the enemy situation analysis meeting organized by the senior management of the Lionheart King's Independent Fleet organized by Turamon, very elegant. Very beautiful, like a phoenix soaring with wings.
To its enemies, however, it portends death and destruction.
The dual-link 40 Vulcan turret at the bottom of a Heretic-class assault boat has just been adjusted. Quickly wrap the smaller half of the hull.
The distance from the fleet to the sea is not very high, only about 100 meters. The speed of the Phoenix fighter is very fast, and it only takes a blink of an eye to penetrate into the hinterland of the fleet and start a sweeping operation.
This is an inland environment, not space, and because the fleet is carrying out bombing missions, not frontal combat, the formation is very poor, and it can't stop the tactical cutting of more than 20 Phoenix fighters.
The 7 missionary-class frigates are counting down to bombing, and the surprise attack of the Phoenix fighter disrupts their attack plan, so they can only stop the bombing behavior at the first time, and quickly switch to the combat stance.
It's a pity that this is inland, because of gravity and the atmospheric environment, compared with space, their flexibility has been weakened, and Tang Fang is a guy full of bad things.
Ever since, before the bombing bays of the seven frigates had time to close, they encountered precise sniping from below.
The ion beam left a row of craters on the surface of the ship, and the high-temperature jet penetrated the armor, directly igniting the ammunition rack behind the bomb bay. The flame expanded from the inside to the outside, and the explosion spread in the bilge of the battleship, even triggering a nuclear warhead that was not released in time. The resulting thermal radiation and shock waves tore apart the keel of the hull, and the fireworks surged like waves, spreading all the way from the bottom of the battleship in an instant, throwing out a lot of light and heat, as well as metal fragments. From the outside, it looks like a poor thing with a broken belly.
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the anti-gravity propeller was torn apart, and the wreckage fell on the unsettled sea, and the splashing water was quickly submerged. Those giants of more than 100 meters, like falling meteors, with surging flames and billowing smoke from time to time, fell from the sky, pushing up bigger waves in the churning sea waves.
Four missionary-class frigates died in such an implosion. Even if a large part of the shock wave formed by the nuclear explosion was absorbed by the hull structure, it still had a strong impact on the surrounding environment. The rapidly spreading shock wave ravaged the sea, and the turbid waves rose up. , The off-white smoke mixed with a large number of metal fragments spurted outwards, and the water vapor thrown into the sky by the concentrated explosive bomb evaporated instantly, and was sent to the sky by the hot wind, forming small mushroom clouds.
Because it is a tactical nuclear bomb, the yield is not large. Moreover, there is a long distance between the ships. This kind of disintegration explosion cannot cause a devastating impact on the surrounding units. It is just the gale created by those shock waves, which makes the heretic-class fast assault boat unstable, and rolls and shakes from time to time.
The originally scorching sun covered the sky with a layer of smog, and all the crew members of the Special Service Fleet also cast a shadow over their hearts.
At an altitude of 300 meters. It is an improved punishment knight-class destroyer and three improved missionary-class frigates.
Colonel Joe Paltrow stood up from the captain's seat, staring blankly at what was happening on the big screen. From the moment the Phoenix fighter plane rushed out of the water to the explosion of the four missionary-class frigates, he didn't have time to issue any orders, and then ushered in a brutal harvest.
The tactical nuclear bomb originally used to destroy the Kandonia Trench has now become a flame furnace for the special service fleet to bury itself. Those shock waves have completely destroyed the battlefield environment, and the performance of the Heretic-class fast assault boat and the Missionary-class frigate has been greatly affected. On the other hand, those Phoenix fighters were like fish swimming in water. With a very elegant way of moving, following the guidance of the wind and waves, wandering up and down the battle group, the silver ion beam even drew a beautiful arc, falling on the surface of one's own ship, bursting into large groups of flashes.
Lacking the assistance of fire control radar and enemy detection radar, large-caliber kinetic energy weapons are almost useless, and warships can only use Phalanx close-in defense systems and interceptor missiles to interfere with Phoenix fighters.
When Joe Paltrow was beaten. Tang Fang gasped in admiration.
As the warships under the Lionheart King's independent fleet, they are indeed more tenacious than ordinary warships.
Take Tang Fang's attack on the Mubarak star system as an example. The Sea Dog-class frigate of the Sulu Empire was entangled by two Phoenix fighters, and it would sink or lose its combat capability within a minute if it fired around.
The current situation is that the two Phoenix fighters will fire in one round unless they hit the key parts accurately. Unable to completely sink the Heretic-class fast assault boats, some armored and improved ships still have a certain degree of attack capability even if they are tattered, and one Phoenix fighter was even taken advantage of by two Heretic-class fast assault boats that cooperated tacitly. Attack with focused fire to destroy the plasma shield. Injury to the body of the fighter.
Of course, this is just a small episode of the entire surface battlefield. Due to the close proximity of the Phoenix fighter, the previous nuclear explosion not only had an adverse effect on the combat environment, but also brought a huge psychological shadow to the crew.
Under such a situation, even if the number of warships belonging to the special service fleet exceeds that of the Phoenix fighters, it is still difficult to reverse the decline.
A missionary-class frigate was billowing smoke from its stern, its head plunged into the water at an angle, and was quickly swallowed by the waves and sucked into the sea.
On the outskirts of the battlefield, a heretic-class fast assault boat simply lowered its height to avoid being chased by the Phoenix fighters, and at the same time turned on the tail auxiliary propeller to widen the distance from another warship, preparing to detour from below and use the phalanx to defend against it. The system sweeps away the enemy planes hidden in the blind spots of the warship's weapon system.
How did you know that when the battleship approached 50 meters from the water surface, the flames sprayed by the anti-gravity engine puckered the waves, stirring up thick ripples that spread rapidly to the surroundings? A golden aircraft with a large circle.
The sea water and floating debris rolled down, and the aircraft rose into the sky at an extremely fast speed, smashing the battered bow armor of the Heretic-class assault boat, and then soared into the sky under the cover of 5 Phoenix fighter planes , ignoring Joe Paltrow's Retribution Knight-class destroyer, and headed towards the coastline of the Huhupa continent.
The 31 warships that were originally stationed above the sea to carry out the bombing mission, in just ten minutes, now have less than 10 ships left, and are undergoing indiscriminate bombing by 18 Phoenix fighter planes.
Maybe another 5 minutes, no...not 5 minutes, 3 minutes is enough, those dying monsters will be swallowed by the sea, reduced to sunken ships at the bottom of the trench, covered in darkness and cold dust, forgotten by the world and society.
They came to bomb the Trench, and the mission goal was to erase the Kandonia Trench from Nasero's map, but in the end they became dead souls bound in this sea area.
Joe Paltrow stood in front of the big screen, moss growing on his face.
"Commander, -1259 is sinking... -0765 is crashing... The captain of -1334 hopes we can ask the headquarters for help..."
The communications officer's voice was not loud, but every sound was like a siren sounding suddenly, waking people up from their tranquility.
Joe Paltrow knew who was sitting on the golden flying machine that later emerged from the water...
That kid ignored him at all, and walked straight towards Hoopa Continent.
This is a kind of arrogance, but also a kind of humiliation.
he knows. If Captain Tang wants to, no one can go away, and the special service fleet will wipe out the entire army.
However, the other party chose to let him go, and as a witness, he went to report the local war to Tulamon and the massacre at sea to Hymn Will.
Yes. Captain Tang was not only humiliating him, but also humiliating His Royal Highness, His Majesty the King.
Thirty-one battleships and Phoenix fighter planes were deployed, but his own army was wiped out, while the opponent only lost 2 fighter planes. The 15:1 battle loss ratio made his heart feel like falling into an ice cave.
Of course, this is related to the bad formation of one's own warships. The gravity environment also affects the combat effectiveness of the fleet, but even if the battlefield is moved to space. Set up a battle formation, so what? Even if the battle loss ratio is halved, 8:1 is also a bitter statistic.
You must know that the independent fleet of the Lionheart King is dispatched by ships, and the opponent uses fighter jets, which are not at the same level at all, not to mention Captain Tang has a group of biological battleships.
The appearance of the biological mothership with a body length of more than 10 is still deeply imprinted in his mind.
"Commander. Commander... Ship -1334 hopes that we can ask the headquarters for help."
Seeing that Joe Paltrow didn't respond, the communication officer had no choice but to repeat it again.
He woke up with a start. Sweeping across the big screen, I happened to see the missionary-class frigate painted with the words "-1334" on the side of the ship was torn apart by the light beams fired by three Phoenix fighters at the junction of the bridge and the information processing system. Under the action of unbalanced gravity and lift, The long-shuttle hull slowly bent, eventually causing the outer shell to burst, exposing the power equipment with lightning and flames inside.
It eventually broke in two. Then it fell into the sea, setting off a monstrous water curtain.
-The captain of the armored and improved missionary frigate No. 1334 is the son of a daughter-in-law's natal brother of Prince Ankatri. He joined the Lionheart King's independent fleet to mix his seniority and military merits so that he can successfully inherit the earl's position in the future.
Joe Paltrow watched the young man take the major's epaulettes in high spirits, and saw him molesting the young and beautiful female second lieutenant like no one else. Seeing that he became the target of many low-level captains, seeing him turned into a scorched corpse in the sea of fire, buried in the deep and cold trench.
-1334 sank, and he didn't have to pay attention to the request for help, because he never thought of asking the headquarters for help.
Even if Turamon knew that their mission had failed, so what? Could it be possible to lead an army to attack Tang Fang? The bombing of the Kandonia Trench was originally a secret operation, which shows that His Majesty the King does not want to confront Captain Tang head-on.
Taking ten thousand steps back, Turamon decided to send troops to encircle and suppress that boy. Facing the combat environment in Nasiro's inland, it is impossible for large ships to enter the atmosphere to fight. Captain got it? That is a dream!
Moreover, once the army is mobilized, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will definitely receive the news, and the 1st Ranger Regiment will also break into "Nasero", forming a confrontation between the two armies. At that time, will the two sides fight or not?
Joe Paltrow is only a colonel officer, but he has a high degree of political sensitivity. He knows that no matter what, he cannot ask the headquarters for help. In fact, even if he asks for help, Turamon will never send troops to rescue him.
On the other hand, when Tang Fang killed the 31 warships, he did not kill his car and the other 3 frigates at the same time, just to humiliate Turamon and Anthemville, and to destroy and suppress the shock by the way, which shows that young people don't want to tear up Shame on your face and make things get out of hand.
On this point, the two sides reached a tacit consensus, which can also be said to be the bottom line. As long as he adapts to the situation and withdraws quietly, he can not only save his life, but also don't have to worry about the high-level leaders being held accountable.
On the contrary, those 31 warships could only be sacrificed in vain, as the price for the failure of this operation, in order to appease Captain Tang's anger.
Have to say, this is kind of sad.
Joe Paltrow never ordered his car to join the battle with the three frigates. All he could do was watch the warship below catch fire and explode, and then plunged into the sea, causing countless waves and splashes.
When the 18 Phoenix fighter planes went away, the sea slowly returned to calm, and the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. He took one last look at the water surface full of corpses and debris, took off his military cap, and conveyed the retreat order to the driving crew
………………
Mr. Colonel made a mistake, the battle damage ratio was not 15:1, and the two Phoenix fighters that crashed into the sea were just smoke bombs that Tang Fang deliberately released. After the incident subsided, even if the Lionheart King's independent fleet turned the trench upside down, they would not be able to find the wreckage of the two Phoenix fighters.
Bai Hao said he was really insidious, he said how could this be called insidious, at least it gave His Majesty the king a ray of hope, and he could focus on salvaging the Phoenix fighters, so as not to keep thinking about himself.
He was really forced to do this...
Bai Hao simply kept silent than his mouth, thinking, anyway, he can always find great excuses for Yin people, so that people can't speak.
If you want to complain about him, it will be harder than climbing to the sky.
The boy didn't know that the sharp-tongued Captain Tang actually had times when he was deflated, but the other party was not a person, but a machine.
Joe Paltrow was shocked by the combat power of the Phoenix fighter, so why not him.
Although the two Phoenix fighters were not sunk by the opponent, they were also severely damaged. After falling into the sea, they were led back to the system space by him. (To be continued.)
