Chapter 431: Federal Navy Coming to the Rescue?
The already loose and disjointed joint fleet was completely divided into two parts under the dual threats of asteroid debris impact and zenith attack.
The fleets that followed Megan's orders and the fleet of the Raging Wave Group increased their speed and rushed towards A. Bawa. Ku. The outer anti-aircraft ships also began to clean up the incoming asteroid debris in order of threat from high to low.
As for the other group of total enterprise fleets led by Deep Space Mining and Gabriel Biology, they were divided into the back position and began to fight on their own.
And this is exactly what Amber wanted.
Although he was very confident that in a short period of time, whether it was the Federation or the Star Dragon Empire, it would be difficult to respond effectively when facing the deep assault, the impact of multiple "Giant Gods", and the subsequent heavy armored combat boats.
But this does not mean that he has expanded to the point that he thinks he can eat up the joint fleet with such a small number of units.
So he wanted to take advantage of the fact that these corporate fleets were less organized and not monolithic at the same time, split them up in battle, and then eat up some of the disjointed fleets first.
Then, after the three unmanned fleets entered the field, they would cooperate with the defensive weapons on the A·Bava·Ku asteroid fortress to eat up the remaining corporate fleets.
And he believed that when the opponent's losses reached a certain level, their morale would definitely collapse completely, and the possibility of surrender was far greater than the possibility of being annihilated.
However, a situation that Lilith suddenly discovered made Amber's heart, which had been slightly relieved, hang again.
"Master, I just detected that the joint fleet sent an encrypted message to a certain location target. I didn't have time to crack and intercept it. I can only confirm that the encrypted message was sent to other units that were not in this space."
"Other units?"
Amber frowned, but he didn't have time to think about it. Instead, he moved sideways according to the "ray threat prompt" on the full-circle screen to shake off the irradiation of a group of anti-aircraft high-energy lasers, and then sent a shot back.
Before firing this time, Amber had switched the weapon control from the large heavy particle cannon to the large electromagnetic reconnection cannon mounted on the right rear of the body, so the anti-aircraft weapon group responded with a heavy tungsten alloy anti-ship penetrator.
Watching a ball of fire burst out of the target lock frame on the screen, Amber shifted her sights to another marked target - a heavy cruiser that was urgently adjusting its axis, and the lock frame immediately followed and was set on the cruiser.
"Does it mean that they have a backup plan?"
"It should be Master, after all, the information sent out in this situation is generally a request for reinforcements or direct help." Lilith said seriously. At this moment, in addition to assisting Amber in the battle, she also shouldered a lot of other combat auxiliary work and electronic warfare attacks against the coalition fleet.
Because she was fighting in the A·Bava·Ku asteroid fortress, Lilith had an extremely large super server array to support her. It can be said that her personal strength has reached the "full posture" at the current level.
"We can't care about so much now that the battle has come to this. We should continue the attack according to the original plan. The unmanned fleet will enter the battlefield soon. We should try to weaken the power of the combined fleet before the possible reinforcements of the other side arrive!"
"Understood, Master!"
——
When Amber took the lead and maintained a very high impact speed to kill into the formation of the combined fleet and attracted a large number of anti-aircraft units' firepower, Murat, Louis and other four mass-produced "Giant" also launched an attack at the same time.
Although they can't kill through the fleet directly like Amber, they can still pass through the periphery of the fleet at a very high speed and pour firepower through the massive weapons mounted on the "Giant" in the process.
"No! The target is too fast to be tracked effectively!"
"Enemy aircraft, number 4, has broken through the final air defense circle!"
"Bane and Thomas are sunk! Aristotle observed an explosion, communication interrupted!"
"Where are the shipboard HCPs?! Hurry up and get on the deck to assist in air defense!"
"Fuck! Be careful of those asteroid debris, pay attention to emergency evasion!"
In the several Enterprise fleets that fell behind, their defense command group was already in a mess due to Amber's direct penetration, Murat's raids, and the collision of the "satellite missile group".
It was at this time that they realized that the deflection force field that had given them peace of mind in countless previous battles could not play its due defensive capabilities under such attacks.
Not to mention the asteroid debris that broke the hull with its own mass.
In addition, the precision of the integrated sensors, fire control units and other electronic components of these five heavy HCPs is extremely high.
With the help of combat support AI, even Murat and others can accurately hit the rear half of the ship near the main propulsion array during a high-speed assault - this is also the area with the weakest coverage of the deflection field.
And Amber is even more outrageous. The powerful spatial perception ability of the psychic allows him to calmly lock and directly attack the main propulsion array of the target ship.
These large plasma propulsion arrays are easily disordered and directly at risk of array explosion after being attacked by heavy particle cannons or charged particle beams.
"Don't just focus on these five targets! Pay attention to the battleships behind them! According to the information collected before the war, these battleships are not only equipped with heavy particle cannons, but also equipped with plasma torpedoes!"
The air defense commander of a fleet just yelled in the channel, asking others to pay attention to the heavy armored battleship brigade led by Jacob, but before he finished speaking, several warships outside the fleet suddenly exploded.
Judging from the "special effects" of the explosion, it should be the effect of being hit by plasma torpedoes.
"How can it be so fast? Aren't those battleships not in attack range yet?"
The fleet air defense commander just had this thought in his mind, and suddenly realized that he and others had overlooked something fatal in the panic.
A large number of stealth plasma torpedoes launched by A. Bawa. Ku finally "slowly" floated over during this period of time. Their seekers also coincidentally captured the huge fleet target at the same time as Amber and others launched the attack.
Obviously, during the chaotic air defense operation, some plasma torpedoes broke through the terminal interception and then hit the target locked by their seekers.
Under the attack of Amber and others, it was difficult for the disjointed Enterprise fleet to organize an effective defense in a short period of time. After 8 squadrons of heavy armored combat boats joined the battle, the chance of forming an effective air defense became even slimmer.
In addition to the rays of heavy particle cannons constantly passing through this airspace, the huge plasma fireballs produced by plasma torpedoes hitting the target also lit up one after another.
Jacob, who had fought with the Federal Navy before, soon discovered that these enemies in front of him were just like chickens and dogs compared to the Federal Navy of Pyra IV.
This also made him feel at ease to issue the order of free attack, and then he personally led a team to kill the flagship of the Deep Space Mining Enterprise Fleet, a giant demon-class battleship.
If the disconnected part of the joint fleet fell into hell from the beginning, then the remaining main force of the joint fleet led by Megan experienced the feeling of going from heaven to hell.
They finally avoided the attack of the satellite missile group at a very small cost, and gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the defense weapons of the A. Bawa. Ku asteroid fortress.
Fleet commander Megan even thought that he had grasped the hope of victory in desperation, but in the warning of the tactical information coordinator, three fleets that suddenly jumped out from three directions ruthlessly took the "hope of victory" away from him.
He didn't even have time to order the fleet to reorganize its formation and prepare for anti-ship artillery battles. The unmanned fleet fired swiftly and accurately, covering the fleet like a rain of light.
The suddenly lit power grid was almost connected, but there were still "unlucky guys" who were severely torn apart by the heavy metal particle jets due to deflection field overload or incorrect defense angle.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the joint fleet of the military-industrial complex was attacked from four directions by the asteroid fortress and three unmanned fleets. Ships were constantly hit, disintegrated or became fleeting "fireworks" in this universe.
This was also the first sight seen by the commanders of the newly formed 23rd and 24th fleets of the Federal Navy after they left the jump.
"Why was it hit so badly?"
"I don't know, but it looks like it can't be saved. No matter what, let's carry out the mission according to the original plan."
While the two fleet commanders were communicating quickly, on the bridge of the 24th Fleet flagship, Dr. Mephisto's eyes also passed over the fierce battlefield and directly locked onto the A. Bawa. Ku asteroid fortress, which seemed to be burning in the universe under the light of the ship explosion.
"Lilith, my daughter, we finally meet again."
