Starfighter

Chapter 020 Set foot on the battlefield

In the outer space of the Solomi planet in the New Miami star sector, an extremely fierce air battle is going on.

The laser energy beams fired by the main guns of the battlecruisers weave into a dense, spectacular and dazzling firepower net.Battlecruisers were shot and exploded one after another in the firepower net, and ghost escort fighter planes, which were like ants like battleships, shuttled desperately through the firepower net, trying their best to attack the enemy's main battleship. Get close, launch missiles one after another, and use the airborne laser cannon to continuously bombard the vital parts of the enemy ship.The destroyed warships and fighter planes bloomed in space, blooming gorgeous flowers symbolizing death. Countless soldiers were either vaporized together with the fighter planes by powerful firepower, or were thrown into space and became space human garbage.

"The 10th and 14th Squadrons go around to me, outflank and cut off the rear of the enemy battleships! The 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Squadrons are surrounded by two wings, and the rest of the Squadrons are fully fired. Press me up!" In the command center of the battleship bridge numbered 057001, a middle-aged general with three gold stars on his shoulders roared at his subordinates with red eyes: "Damn it, I don't believe it. Up to a hundred old-fashioned Haiba-class battleships can stop Lao Tzu's Seventh Fleet!"

This three-star general is Admiral Gauss, the supreme commander of the Seventh Space Fleet in the fifth theater.After the Miami Sector suddenly declared independence on October 10, the Federation Civil War officially broke out.The Fifth Theater, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly dispatched the Seventh Space Fleet to enter the sector, intending to control the air supremacy in space first, so that the follow-up expedition against the rebels can carry out landing operations.

However, when the vanguard squad of the Seventh Space Fleet arrived near the planet Solomi, it was suddenly ambushed by a group of rebel battleships hidden in a meteorite field.After a bloody battle, only two scarred battleships were left in the leading team and escaped back. Admiral Gauss was so angry that he ordered to use the nuclear energy main guns on the battleship to smash all possible meteorite planets around the Solomi planet. .

The Rebel space fleet then had to be forced into a head-on encounter with the Seventh Fleet.To everyone's surprise, the rebel army with less than a hundred old-fashioned Haiba-class battlecruisers actually repelled the frontal attack of the Seventh Fleet composed of all Behemoth-class battleships one after another through ingenious cooperation. Old Gauss was furious.

"The rebel fleet has begun to retreat!" An officer in charge of the radar system in the command center exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay! Order the whole army to press up quickly, and we must kill these **** battleships outside the atmosphere!" After hearing the report from his subordinates, old Gauss felt angry.

However, less than 10 minutes later, the battle situation changed again.The ground railguns hidden in the atmosphere of the rebels suddenly fired their power, and instantly caught the chasing Seventh Fleet by surprise.

"Damn it, let me use Yamato to bombard these rail guns!" Seeing the heavy casualties of the fleet, Old Gauss was enraged again, and ordered furiously.

"General, the use of the Yamato Cannon at this time will make our warships unable to move and fight back in a short period of time, and can only rely on fighter planes for cover. In this way, it will give the rebel fleet a chance to breathe, and even let the rebel fleet They took advantage of this gap to counterattack or retreat. General, please think twice!" A senior colonel's staff officer dissuaded regardless of the embarrassment on the old Gauss's face.

Although the Yamato guns equipped on the Behemoth-class battlecruisers are powerful, they have a fatal flaw.The firing principle of the Yamato Cannon is to use a powerful electromagnetic field to concentrate the energy of a nuclear explosion into a beam of energy and emit it.Its astonishing power is enough to level a small city with one shot.However, the fatal flaw of the Yamato cannon is its huge energy demand. Once the Yamato cannon system is activated, it will consume nearly 10% of the energy of the entire battleship.In other words, when the Yamato cannon is fired, except for the basic power protection system and the fighter ejection recovery system, the rest of the battleship's weapon systems cannot be used normally.And once the Yamato cannon is fired, it will take at least 10 minutes for the battleship to return to a state of full energy. For a rapidly changing battlefield, [-] minutes is enough to change the entire battle situation.

"Damn it!" Old Gauss slammed his fist on the podium through gritted teeth.As the supreme commander of the fleet, he naturally knew the defects of his own battleship Yamato guns.Since the battle broke out, due to the fierce fighting, the energy consumption of most warships is extremely fast, and there are very few warships with enough energy to fire Yamato cannons. Moreover, it is difficult to say that if these warships approach the atmosphere to fire Yamato cannons, it is difficult to say that they will be attacked by enemy warships and fighter planes. raid interception.

"Send a message to the rear headquarters, because the ground firepower of the Solomi planet is too violent, causing heavy casualties to our fleet. Therefore, I request the headquarters to order the follow-up landing troops to start landing operations in advance, so as to pull out the ground firepower strongholds that threaten our fleet and cover our fleet Action to encircle and suppress the rebel fleet!" Old Gauss mused for a moment with a livid face, and finally ordered helplessly to the staff beside him.

In space hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Planet Solomi, a huge fleet composed of thousands of large transport ships is slowly advancing.There is a squadron of battlecruisers on the front, back, left, and right sides of this fleet to serve as escort missions.These densely packed transport ships transported the near-ground combat troops of the five army groups in the fifth theater.

The so-called near-ground combat troops refer to the troops that fight between the ground and the planet's atmosphere, including marine divisions equipped with various types of tanks and mechs, as well as fighters equipped with Banshees, Vikings and other fighters suitable for combat in the atmosphere. Air Assault Division and so on.Although with the birth of space warships, the war tentacles of mankind have extended to space.But no matter how powerful human space warships are, they cannot compete with the entire planet.To determine the final outcome of human civil wars, it is still necessary to rely on close combat forces to destroy or force the enemy to surrender.

Therefore, in the federal army, the near-ground combat force still occupies the main position, and the space fleet is used to compete for space air supremacy and cover and cooperate with the near-ground force to fight.The entire fifth theater has a total of 4 space fleets and 20 near-ground combat army groups.According to the establishment of the federal army, each army group has four combat armies under its jurisdiction, and each army has three marine divisions and varying numbers of armored divisions, air assault divisions, or mixed special operations divisions.

In order to quell the rebellion in the New Miami sector this time, the Fifth Theater sent an expeditionary force composed of the Seventh Space Fleet and the 19th, 37th, 89th, and 115th Army Groups.Because the fifth theater had already been prepared, as soon as the war broke out, it took less than two days for the expeditionary force to complete its assembly and head straight for Solomi, the capital of the Miami sector.

On a certain transport ship in this huge fleet, Hao Yi was playing with the lighter in his hand boredly.Beside him, on the left is Hu Erpang, who is sleeping with his head tilted in his usual posture, and on the right is Zhao Jiakun, who is a little preoccupied and is cleaning the C17 modified short assault nail gun in his hand.A huge military multi-purpose backpack was piled under each of the three people's feet, and there were a dozen other maintenance soldiers in the same cabin as them.

"Old Zhao, do you smoke?" Hao Yi turned to look at Zhao Jiakun beside him, took out a pack of "Ball" brand cigarettes from a special pocket on the side of the armor on his upper body, and poked Zhao Jiakun on the shoulder and said.

Seeing Zhao Jiakun shaking his head, Hao Yi unwrapped the cigarette pack on his own, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said, "Damn it, the Federal Army is really humane. Send people to the battlefield, and don’t forget to distribute a few packs of cigarettes to each person. Damn, I just don’t know how to smoke, so I can’t refuse the things that these bastards gave me.” Then, Hao Yi lit the cigarette in his mouth, Taking a deep breath, he choked so much that he coughed repeatedly, and tears came out.

"Oh my god, what is this, why is it so difficult to draw?" Hao Yi said cursingly, which caused the rest of the maintenance soldiers in the cabin to look at him amusedly.Although he has been stubborn since he was a child, Haoyi has never smoked or drunk.This was the first time he smoked, and it was also the first time he drank alcohol in Sadra City the night before he came to the company to report.

"Smoking hurts your health, so don't smoke!" Zhao Jiakun forced a smile and said in a somewhat lonely tone.Holding the c17 modified short assault nail gun specially developed for maintenance soldiers and other logistics arms in his hand, Zhao Jiakun felt a faint feeling in his heart, as if he would never go back after stepping on the battlefield this time.At this moment, he missed his parents and his fiancée who had already made a marriage arrangement.

"Alright, old Zhao, don't look dejected!" Hao Yi saw that Zhao Jiakun was in a bad mood, and vaguely guessed what he was thinking, patted Zhao Jiakun on the shoulder carelessly, and comforted: "Don't worry, we will be able to Come down from the battlefield indiscriminately, maybe there is still a chance to make some contributions! At that time, hey, look at that shitty Li Yi and dare to punish us!"

In this counter-insurgency operation, all companies in the logistics base joined the expeditionary force.In order to facilitate the maintenance of the battlefield, the logistics headquarters of the group army ordered each maintenance company to transfer some personnel to be incorporated into each combat division to form a field repair team to cooperate with the combat division.Faced with this obviously extremely dangerous task, Li Yi, who was about to send the three of Haoyi to the military court, suddenly thought of why these three unlucky guys were not allowed to take on this task.

As a result, the three of Haoyi were lucky enough to escape the court-martial, but they were then honorably incorporated into the maintenance unit directly under the 74th Armored Division under the Group Army Group.

"Attention to all units, attention to all units! The spaceship is about to enter sublight speed, please fasten your seat belts! Repeat, each..."

Just as he was talking, the radio in the cabin suddenly rang.

"What the hell? Why are you going to speed up all of a sudden?" Hao Yi muttered, put out the cigarette in his hand, and hurriedly began to find the seat belt on the seat, while not forgetting to wake up Hu Erpang, who was sleeping soundly beside him.

"Ah? Are you here, Brother Hao?" Hu Erpang opened his eyes in a daze and asked in confusion.

"To your head? The spaceship is going to blow up!" Hao Yi rolled his eyes weakly, angrily threatening Hu Erpang and said.

"Ah?! Damn, help!" Hu Erpang's extremely ugly cry sounded in the cabin.
