Chapter 1545: Close combat
First of all, this was the first battle for the two captains with the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts. In the first battle, both Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts were destroyed, and all the soldiers on board were'sacrificed'.
This was absolutely a very serious command accident.
Even if Emperor Xiaolong might not punish them, he would certainly not allow them to stay in their positions due to the opinions of others, and would transfer them to other combat posts.
After all, countless captains have been eyeing this interstellar warship ever since the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought was introduced.
Let alone major generals, they would be willing to give up the opportunity to command a legion fleet. Even Imperial lieutenant generals would be willing to give up their power just to become the captain of such a near-T7 level interstellar warship.
It should be noted that the number of near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts currently in service in the entire Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is not very large.
Although she knew there were more than just five ships.
But it certainly won't be much more.
It's a situation where there are far more monks than porridge.
Therefore, if they fail, putting everything else aside, they will no longer be able to serve as captains of the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts.
They might even be relegated to obscurity in the future, with no chance of promotion.
Mu Baiqing is gambling her future on this one opportunity!
"We will definitely succeed," Captain Huo Feifei said firmly.
............
"Report! Two enemy stealth bombers that have penetrated the center of our fleet's position are retreating!"
"Report: The two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts that are currently engaged in combat with us have no intention of retreating."
On the contrary, they are closing the combat distance with our ship!
The current engagement distance between our two interstellar warships has far exceeded the normal engagement distance between two interstellar warships.
We're still getting closer!
The subordinates reported the current battle situation to the Drought Demon King in detail.
When the Drought Demon King heard that the two interstellar stealth bomber fleets were withdrawing, he sneered.
And when they heard that the two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts were still fighting them.
The Drought Demon King stood up in a rage: "Those two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts really don't take us seriously at all."
In this situation, how can you still want to fight us?
Good! Good! Good!
Then let these two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts never return from here.
Relay my order: at all costs, destroy these two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts right here.
They dare to look down on us.
I'll make them pay the price!
The pride of the Drought Demon King would not allow him to be looked down upon by any enemy. Any opponent who dared to look down on him would pay the price!
"yes!"
At this moment, the battle surrounding the Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interplanetary destroyer is becoming increasingly fierce.
Both sides' naval cannons and various starship weapons were constantly firing at each other's ships!
Especially as these two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts get closer and closer to the Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer!
The intensity of the firefight was also constantly increasing, as the distance between the two interstellar warships was decreasing.
That basically eliminates the need for aiming time.
For interstellar cannons, simply load the shells and fire. For energy-powered cannons, recharge them and fire immediately once fully charged.
The soldiers operating these weapons didn't even have time to pay attention to the outcome of the attack; they were simply focused on carrying out the procedure.
Because the two interstellar warships are at such close engagement distances, there is absolutely no need for such unnecessary aiming.
All we need to do is keep firing! Keep firing!
The goal is to fire the cannon in the shortest amount of time!
The soldiers operating the turrets on both sides' starships were now red-faced and glaring angrily.
It was as if they could see the soldiers loading shells on the other side.
Both sides are gritting their teeth and persevering.
Bridge of the second Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought
At that moment, alarms were sounding one after another in several departments on the bridge responsible for the ship's defense.
In front of Huo Feifei, the original image of the Star Shield energy had transformed into the outline of the entire interstellar warship.
This image clearly shows the starship's armor, which part is under attack, and the current condition of the hull armor.
It's clear at a glance.
There are now hundreds of locations, large and small, that have been attacked.
It can even magnify these attacked locations when necessary.
Examine the attack situation carefully.
You can also observe the scene through the camera equipment mounted on the side.
This method of observation allows the department responsible for observing the starship to have a detailed, accurate, and real-time understanding of the damage to the interstellar warship, and then report this intelligence to higher authorities.
Although this part of the work may seem somewhat trivial, having a thorough understanding and familiarity with one's own starship is a way to win in battle.
Don't underestimate the work of any department.
at the same time.
The close-in weapon system of the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought is now under saturation attack, as this is the last line of defense left for this interstellar warship.
The enemy's attacks are also targeted at these locations.
Because if these close-in weapon systems are destroyed, this Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought will completely lose its close-in defense capabilities.
Despite the attack on her starship, Captain Huo Feifei showed no sign of worry.
It was as if the starship that was being attacked was not their own.
Since this is a situation that cannot be changed at present, there is no use in worrying about it.
If she were to worry about these things, then Huo Feifei wouldn't be in this position, and she wouldn't have volunteered for this combat mission.
Whether it was her or the captain of another Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, they were already aware of this!
"How many interstellar missiles do we have left?" Captain Huo Feifei asked calmly.
"There are still over eight hundred left," the vice-captain replied immediately after retrieving the relevant data.
"Fire them all out! Target all the close-in weapon systems on the enemy's Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer."
"We aim to destroy 70% of the defensive firepower of the Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer in this round of firepower attacks," Huo Feifei said earnestly, "so that our interstellar drones can launch attacks on enemy ships without any worries."
Next, we will attack from any position that allows us to strike the target starship.
All of them were focused on this Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interplanetary destroyer.
In addition, we should prepare our heavily armed interstellar marines for boarding operations.
We must unleash our full strength and destroy this Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interplanetary destroyer in the shortest possible time!
The enemy might think we want to trade two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts for this Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer.
But you should know that our Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought is far more important than the enemy's Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer.
Two for one?
They don't deserve it!
In her final words, Captain Huo Feifei's disdain was clearly evident.
"Understood," the vice-captain replied, and immediately went to give instructions.
Then, the missile silos on the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought were opened one by one, revealing the interstellar missiles that had been prepared for a long time.
Then, with the operators initiating the launch, these interstellar missiles were launched one by one, flying towards their targets with trails of flame.
Although there are only a few hundred interstellar missiles, it is still far less powerful than the meteor shower-like attacks of an interstellar missile fleet.
But at such a close distance.
All of these interstellar missiles were fired at the gun positions of the opposing Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer, and the effect was quite effective.
The opposing Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, ship number five, did the same thing, firing up all its existing interstellar missiles in the first instance.
Under such a terrifying attack.
Almost all the gun positions on the hull of the Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interplanetary destroyer were hit by fire.
From an observer's perspective, one can see hundreds of interstellar missiles maneuvering and flying towards their intended attack positions around this Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer.
It then explodes at the target location, creating a fireball.
This resulted in a large number of fireballs appearing on the hull of the Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interplanetary destroyer.
Even though he was prepared, the ferocious attack still frightened the Drought Demon King, who could feel the terrifying tremors on the bridge.
Fortunately, this was a near-T7 class interstellar warship.
The ship's armor is thick enough, and there are many compartments beneath the armor, which can provide some of the defense.
These attacks alone are insufficient to directly destroy a near-T7 level interstellar warship.
Let alone these attacks.
Even a T6-class starship, using its strongest bow gun to launch an attack, could only damage the ship's armor, but could not directly destroy this near-T7 Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer in one blow.
This is the power of a near-T7 class interstellar warship!
Captain Huo Feifei was naturally aware of this, so she did not intend to take down the Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interstellar destroyer with just one round of interstellar missile attacks.
