Chapter 394 05.0393: ‘Green MiGs Are Coming’

"Captain Fasha."

The acting captain's voice access request suddenly sounded in the female pilot's earphones, which surprised her.

As soon as I connected it, I realized it was a familiar voice.

‘Well, maybe I should call you now—··—·

‘Little Captain’? "She turned to chuckle, but her sharp eyes like an eagle were still fixed on the incoming Doomsday Fire bomber.

"You can do whatever you want." Horatio smiled back, trying to slightly ease the tense fighting atmosphere, and then immediately got to the point:

"I analyzed the routes of incoming enemy aircraft and found that these enemies flying from the mothership at the end of the enemy's battle line would arrive within 10 seconds.

Passing their lead ship minutes later, they would be less than 60 kilometers away from the green-skinned aircraft attacking the lead ship. A melee would definitely break out between the escorting fighters from both sides. "

"Captain, what do you mean, we should not take the initiative to intercept now?"

"Yes, when the enemy forces engage in battle, their bombers will have to fly at least three hundred kilometers to reach the escort warning circle of the ship.

As long as the timing is right, this distance is enough to intercept them. Let them fight each other. This will also reduce the probability of our pilots being shot down. "

"Understood. Leave it to me. I will keep an eye on them and issue attack instructions at the right time."

In the void, the Gothic Strike Group and the Chaos War Navigation were getting closer and closer to each other, becoming parallel.

The turn of the tail is also about to take the turn of the penultimate Dreadnought-class light cruiser that is accelerating after taking away the T-class light cruiser carrier.

The green-skinned battleships are very slow before they resume afterburner, and their cannon weapons have poor accuracy.

The range is still short, and it will not pose any major threat to the Imperial Navy's combat ships under the cover of smoke in the current period. It is estimated that it will take some time before the effective combat range is officially launched.

At this time, the Lord Daros and the Emperor's Death were in the same relative position. Both sides reduced to half speed and started a duel.

The two enemy cruisers focused on the Lord Daros, and the two more powerful warships of the Imperial Navy also focused on the other side's lead ship.

The fighting distance was moderate. Although Commodore Peru wanted to get closer, considering the possible turning maneuvers later, he kept the fleet at a heading angle of 90 degrees.

On the contrary, the Chaos warships are continuing to approach, because if they are too far away and fire shells towards the planet, the accuracy of their shelling will be too poor.

The admiral of the Chaos Fleet roared, letting the fleet approach a distance of 500 kilometers in an asymptote.

This distance can not only improve the accuracy of artillery fire, but also facilitate the implementation of gang-hopping tactics.

But the Imperial Navy is not afraid of their approach.

In fact, the Imperial Navy's drill code encourages officers to fight at a shorter range of 500 kilometers when facing Chaos rebels, Eldar, Tau, Necrons and other alien warships.

Because at this distance, the Imperial Navy's macrogun weapons can achieve an astonishing 80% hit rate.

Especially when the automatic loader is activated for a short period of time, the new macro cannon, with a caliber far exceeding the old cannons of the Chaos Rebels, combined with the light spear cannon, can cause horrific damage to the enemy's ship structure.

Secondly, the Imperial Navy’s ability to jump into gangs and counterattack against gangs is not weak. While it is not afraid of enemies jumping into gangs,

They will even jump over on their own initiative.

Not only because the gang wars were still dominated by mortals, but the training and equipment of the Imperial Navy officers and soldiers were superior to those of these fanatical desperadoes.

This is also because even if the opponent has a small number of Chaos Interstellar Warriors, the gap between mortals and 'demigods' will be further narrowed in the narrow and lack of mobility cabin.

Powered melee weapons, bolt bombs, melta harpoons, laser cannons, these heavy weapons are all weapons that can pose a fatal threat to the Chaos Space Marines.

Even if a hundred sailors are sacrificed, as long as one Chaos Space Marine can be killed, it is a very cost-effective deal, not to mention that there are usually not so many casualties in actual combat.

C.A.T drones, servo skulls, in-ship CCTV networks, Wolf Spider automatic sentry guns, servitors controlled by in-ship tech-priests...··

These can help armed sailors and gang members to kill Chaos Space Marines with lower casualties.

Combining risks and benefits, as long as the enemy is not a Nurgle Plague ship, the closer the Imperial Navy gets to the enemy ship, the greater the advantage. Although the risk is also high, the results are higher.

"The distance to the enemy's nearest ship! 700 kilometers!"

"Enemy carrier-based aircraft is approaching!"

Horatio and Commodore Peru turned their heads together and saw that the enemy carrier-based aircraft had flown from the end of the fleet to the position of the lead ship, trying to conduct an air attack on the Indefatigable from that place in the shortest straight line to reduce the probability of being intercepted.

But unfortunately, just as Horatio expected, less than 60 kilometers away from them, the bugs with thick black smoke behind them excitedly found these flies.

The green-skinned "fuck-ya" detachment came galloping in, followed by dozens of boarding torpedoes manned by Daring Boys.

"Hahaha! Come on, kids! Let's have a big meal of black shrimps with us! Kill all the black shrimps and then kill the blue shrimps!"

"Fight! It's fun! Boss!"

"Cover our boarding stick! Go ahead! Fuck him! Waaaaagh!!!" The green-skinned lead pilot put on his goggles and shouted wildly in the channel with saliva splashing everywhere.

From the captured images sent by the escort, Horatio could vaguely see that these aircraft looked like the MiG fighters that were unique in aviation history in the 1960s in his previous life.

Before he traveled to this world, these Daka jets were already widely nicknamed "Greenskin MiGs" in the Chinese Hammer Circle.

Although the idea was very unorthodox, Horatio sincerely felt that these Daka jets were more aerodynamic than some of the Empire Navy's fighters.

At this time, these greenskins, with the purpose of burning, killing and looting, found the closest and largest ship to them, which was the flagship of the Chaos Fleet.

Horatio was glad that he arranged for the escort ship to cover the last warship with smoke, otherwise these boarding torpedoes would probably find the Gothic Fleet first.

Seeing the boarding torpedoes that could threaten the flagship, the quick-death fighters did not care about covering the Doomsday Fire Bombing They turned their course and rushed towards the green aircraft to intercept.

Before entering the combat range, the two sides fired a round of missiles at each other, exploding the sky with flames, and then there was a tense and exciting confrontation and tail biting.

A large number of destroyed fighters exploded brightly in the void, and Horatio could clearly see it from behind the glass window of the bridge.

The Doomsday Fire bomber knew that it lacked escort, but it had come to this point and could only bite the bullet.

They seemed to be ready to die, turning the afterburner to the maximum, and the unclean black and red flames were clearly visible, becoming more and more vigorous, and clearly showing their threat.

"Captain Fasha, it's time to stop them. Surrounding escort ships, all close-in defense weapons are on high alert! "

The Sword-class escort ship accompanying the Indefatigable, the spherical Gatling-type twin-barreled rotating laser cannon power supply group on the side has also been fully charged at this moment, and the majestic barrel, which is so thick that it makes people feel safe at a glance, begins to rotate and preheat.

The close defense firepower of just one escort ship of this type is equivalent to that of most of the Dreadnought-class light cruisers, and its air defense performance is so terrifying that it is unmatched by other levels of escort ships in the empire.

"Everyone, fire all the bullets! "

The Imperial Navy interception squadron turned up from the side blocked by the wide body like a flock of birds, and the searcher marked green frames that locked the Doomsday Fire Fighter.

The pilot pressed the button, and the whistling missiles detached from the racks. The trails left by the tail flames intertwined a dense network,

and finally exploded in a sea of ​​fire in the distance.

The surviving Doomsday Fire Fighters rushed out of the death wall of fragments and flames, and continued to increase horsepower and speed regardless of the danger of overload. At a distance of 400 kilometers from the Indefatigable, the point defense weapon array on the escort ship opened fire, and the rotary laser cannon dragged the fire whip towards the attacking enemy aircraft.

In just a blink of an eye, the fighters swept by the red fire whip were instantly burned into hot and melted debris and garbage,

floating in the cold void and gradually cooling and freezing.

"All ships fire! Fire! "

The young captain's order was implemented by all departments, and finally turned into the roar of cannons.

The void shield of the Emperor's Death had been overloaded by the Lord Daros's macro-cannon salvo, and the light spear of the Indefatigable immediately caught and locked it, and the dazzling pure white beam cut and pierced the black aircraft body.

The macro-cannon group loaded semi-armor-piercing shells one after another, trying to cause greater damage to the enemy's hull structure after penetrating the shallow armor.

At this time, the Lord Daros and the Emperor's Death ended in an interlaced manner. It overloaded the enemy's flag ship's void shield before losing its firing range.

And it fiercely poured two rounds of salvos on this rebel ship that blasphemed the ship's name, with a total hit rate of about 75%, and an output of considerable Considerable.

Now, facing him was the second Slaughter-class cruiser of the Chaos Fleet. There were still spots of damage on her starboard hull, and her port side was probably not in good condition.

The void shield maintained by one of her shield generators was dim and sometimes missing. Perhaps there was a major malfunction that could not be repaired outside the dry dock.

She and Lord Daros chose each other as their opponents at this moment and started firing volleys almost at the same time.

This also meant that the Indefatigable and the Emperor's Death were engaged in a boxer-like contest.

The opponent's new round of volleys overloaded the Indefatigable's second void shield to 46%.

"Reload completed!"

"Fire volleys!"

Boom!

Four adamantine shells were fired by the energy-focused acceleration coil at a terrifying power of three-quarters sub-light speed, pulling out a trajectory that was more like light.

On the enemy ship.

"Damage control team! Put out the fire quickly, and the secondary gun crew remove the energy blocks! Don't let the fire burn the giant cannon ammunition below!

1

The helmet had a black spike and only a glass observation hole. At first glance, the Chaos Damage Control Team member, who looked like he was born with one eye, picked up the nozzle and rushed to the part of the ship that was hit by the light spear and caused the fire.

The heavy magnetic steel boots stepped on the steel deck, like the beating of war drums.

Mouth!

Whoosh!

One of them heard the sound of metal tearing from the surface hull.

The next second, the armor shattered, and the blunted adamantine shells stabbed the hull directly, soaked in the holy water of the state religion, and blessed by the incense of the God of All Machines, made a crisp click.

Boom!

The flames and tens of thousands of huge fragments tore apart the cabin corridor and engulfed the entire rebel damage control team,

along with other traitors in the corridor.

Whoosh! Puff!

Without the manpower to put out the emergency fire and transfer the ammunition, a small giant turret suddenly exploded. From the outside, it can be seen that the turret was directly separated from the hull and was blown into the void. A cluster of flames burst out from the ring, and deeper inside, a new child-like gap was torn from the inside by the explosion.

Facts have proved that this old-style wedge-shaped warship with a ring turret has a wider firing range, but the turret explosion rate is really not low.

(Old turret-type giant cannon on the Chaos hull)

At least it is much higher than the Imperial Navy's current warship ammunition depots, which are arranged behind the armored belt, like the horizontally arranged macro cannon arrays in the sail era.

Because the former ammunition is transported vertically up and down in the ammunition well.

The latter ammunition is stored in the deep core ammunition warehouse protected by the armored belt, which is further behind the macro cannon.

After loading a round on the ammunition rack, a new round of shells will be hoisted from the rail car by a crane.
