Galactic Conquest Manual

Chapter 227 130 Kilometers Combat Distance

The distance between the two sides can be said to be quite far in the distance of 130 kilometers. Even if the projectile of the electromagnetic gun flies at a speed of 2500 meters per second, it will take tens of seconds to fly from one end to the other. , let alone the naval guns of both sides, once the fleets of both sides move, it is quite difficult to hit.

However, the First Fleet took the lead by firing first, and coupled with the "denseness" of the previous fleet formation of hundreds of Scarlett ships, it created good conditions for the naval guns to attack.But when the opponent reacted, started to move, and dispersed, the naval guns were not so accurate.Even with the assistance of fire control AI, the hit rate has dropped a lot.

In the absence of better electromagnetic guns and energy weapons, the First Fleet can only rely on anti-ship missiles and those carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier to face targets 130 kilometers away.

The same problem also appeared on the advance team. At a distance of 130 kilometers, even if Scaledo held a telescope, what appeared in his eyes was only a small dot, and it was impossible to see clearly what the battleship of the First Fleet was. look.However, the only advantage of the advance team is the firing of hundreds of battleships and thousands of artillery pieces.A wave of fire coverage, even if it is impossible to target the opponent, can still pose a considerable threat to that area.And theoretically, shells can fly infinitely in the universe. There is no such thing as range, it's just a matter of accuracy.Whether you can hit the opponent depends entirely on luck.

The First Fleet was immediately divided into three small fleets, each with three aircraft carriers as the core, accompanied by destroyers and frigates, and dispersed.Zhao Qixu stared at the thousand rounds of battleship shells flying densely like shooting stars in the distance, and ordered in a stern tone: "The near-anti-aircraft guns of each ship enter the combat equipment, and the defense AI starts to capture the enemy's projectiles, and count the enemy's bullets. The trajectory of the square bullet!"

"The AI ​​capture was successful! The trajectory is being calculated!" An operator said, and saw him crackling on the console, and soon the AI ​​calculated the trajectory of the projectile. The operator quickly said: "With the current At the speed of my ship, 5 shells will hit my fleet!"

Zhao Qixu said: "Okay, let the destroyers and frigates intercept! Be sure not to miss one shot! We can't stand one shot."

Thousands of shells passed through the gap of the First Fleet like a meteor shower in this inaccurate world, and flew to the rear. If they want to hit the fleet, they all rely on metaphysics.The close-in defense guns of the destroyers and frigates in the fleet also quickly started to operate, locking on the projectiles calculated by the AI ​​​​that would hit the hull.

"Buzz buzz!"

A powerful interception firepower network composed of more than 30 destroyers and frigates near-anti-aircraft was spread out instantly, and the barrage fell from the sky, directly capturing those shells that might hit the fleet warships.

"Boom! Boom! Boom, boom!"

Under the dense barrage, the enemy a few kilometers in front of the First Fleet burst into flames, and those shells that were about to hit and that were dangerous to the fleet were intercepted one after another.In the flames, thousands of inaccurate shells roared past, of course they couldn't hurt the fleet, but they looked extremely shocking.

Zhao Qixu swung his fist heavily, and said happily, "Well done!"

At this time, the missile rain from the First Fleet was about to fly in front of the advance team, and the missiles began to capture these warships and lock them.Even if they're moving, they can't dodge missiles unless they also have AI-controlled close-in guns, which of course isn't possible.

Faced with a wave of missiles, Scarletto turned dark, because no matter what direction the fleet was moving in, those unknown stick-shaped things whistling towards the fleet would still fly towards the fleet, as if they had eyes Same, Scarredo ordered: "Start the anti-aircraft fire! Shoot those things down!"

The battleships of the advance team are equipped with powerful anti-aircraft firepower. You must know that even in the Noah Empire, a country dominated by battleships, aircraft carriers have a place.No matter how thick the armor of the battleship is, the battleship will not be able to please those bombers swarming like wasps.

After all, the Noah Empire has not experienced the baptism of World War II on Earth, and the aircraft carrier faction has not become the mainstream.However, due to the emergence of the aircraft carrier faction and aircraft, the battleship faction began to install large areas of anti-aircraft firepower on the battleship deck.

As the harsh alarm sounded on the deck of the advance team, the sailors of the advance team quickly flapped their wings on their backs, flew to the position of the anti-aircraft gun, shook the joystick, and quickly aimed the anti-aircraft gun at the incoming missile of that area.

"Fire!"

Following an order, the advance team, using the naked eye as their aiming tool, began to weave a powerful firepower network that belonged to them.The dense anti-aircraft barrage instantly turned towards the missile, but the speed of the missile was simply not something that could be prevented by catching it with the naked eye.Maybe a few lucky gunners let the anti-aircraft shell hit the missile, and a burst of sparks exploded with a "boom".However, that was just luck. Almost all the missiles broke through the advance team's anti-aircraft firepower and crashed into the advance team's battleship.

Scarredo looked at the missile that was intercepted and exploded in the distance, his face was full of surprise: "What is this, it's so powerful!!"

He was shocked when he saw the missile for the first time. Looking at the speed of the missile again, he almost completed the breakthrough of the air defense network. Scarredo ordered: "The advance team is ready to prevent collision!"

Dozens of missiles were fired without fail, hitting the battleship, and sparks exploded in the advance team.No battleship could escape the missile attack. With a bang, the battleship was hit by the missile, and the bow or stern of the battleship was directly interrupted.If you are unlucky, you will be hit by the missile directly in the middle, and a ball of fire will explode.Billowing thick smoke quickly floated up and began to diffuse around the fleet.

"boom!"

During Scarredo's time, the bow turret was also hit by a shot. The entire turret was overturned by the missile, and huge thick smoke rose instantly. Scarredo ordered: "Quick! Go up and put out the fire! Don't let the fire spread , causing a martyrdom explosion!"

Scaledo stood on the bridge, looked at the battleships exploding all around, and ordered: "Where's the aircraft carrier's aircraft? Fly over there and shoot them!"

In the absence of gravity, carrier-based aircraft during World War II could not bomb, and could only fire with machine guns.This is also the most important reason why the aircraft carrier failed to develop in the Noah Empire, the country of this cosmic age.On the few aircraft carriers in the previous fleet, the propeller planes began to "buzz", one after another flew off the deck and flew towards the First Fleet.
