Chapter 76 Intersection

The Imperial Fleet began to turn urgently.

Because they lost tracking of the Federation Fleet for dozens of seconds when they were just obscured by the ion fireball.

So the entire fleet made axial adjustments based on the predicted results after the shipboard control personality predicted the trajectory of the Federation Fleet.

But obviously, this prediction was inaccurate, and the speed of the Federation Fleet was higher than predicted.

This also led to the fact that the axis of the Imperial Fleet not only did not point to the Federation Fleet at this time, but also exposed the sides of some of its own warships to the rays of the Federation Warships.

"All fleets, give priority to attacking destroyers and frigates, and fire freely!"

Although Commodore Duwell was mediocre, he would not miss this attack window that was delivered to him.

The warships that had closed the main propulsion array, under the command of their respective captains, distributed energy to weapon units and deflection force fields in a ratio of 8:2.

Even without Commodore Duwell reminding these captains, they knew that the Imperial Fleet, which had just fired a double salvo, could no longer use the heavy particle cannon, the most powerful weapon, in a short period of time.

Two consecutive rounds of full-power shooting, even the main battleships were a bit overwhelmed.

At this time, the main gun must be forced to cool down, and the fusion reactor must also be refilled with fusion fuel.

If forced to fire, it is very likely to cause the heavy particle cannon to be scrapped, or even damage the battleship's fusion reactor.

This is a basic physical rule, and it will not change because they are noble imperial battleships.

At this time, the main attack methods of the Imperial Fleet are only high-energy lasers, charged particle cannons and electromagnetic reconnection cannons.

The former ignores the existence of direct deflection force fields, and the latter two do not need overly high-power deflection force fields to defend.

Therefore, the captains of the Federation battleships boldly lowered the power of the deflection force field generators in order to maintain the attack of all weapon units when the energy supply has not been fully restored.

Although these battleships have not yet fully restored the power supply of weapon units, even if the heavy particle cannons are not fired at full power, they are still enough to threaten destroyers and frigates in a concentrated fire state.

The dazzling trajectories of charged particle beams and high-energy lasers intertwined between the two fleets, and the shooting of heavy particle cannons constantly created huge fireballs at the focal point of the salvo - that was the result of the uncontrolled explosion of the fusion reactor of the Imperial destroyer.

The most shocking scene created by humans who have mastered the stellar energy technology of nuclear fusion is not an artificial sun or a planetary giant structure.

It is a cruel and magnificent picture drawn by a large number of warships in space, firing various directed energy weapons.

On the bridge of the Dawn Sword, Colonel Raphael did not have time to appreciate this picture, especially when he was part of this cruel picture.

In the formation of the Imperial fleet presented on the holographic image, seventeen red crosses had been marked at this time, which meant that seventeen warships had been sunk.

Raphael glanced at the list of sunken warships, all of which were destroyers and frigates.

Obviously, the Federation Fleet was attacking these warships with poor defense in a targeted manner.

And their decision, at least for now, did achieve certain results.

But what Raphael cared about at this time was not the sunken warships of his side, but the two high-speed destroyers that broke away from the federal fleet.

These two warships, which were obviously carrying a mission, rushed towards Robert IV at high speed with a "death or life" attitude.

Originally, Raphael almost gave up intercepting the two destroyers.

Because the Imperial Fleet is currently in static defense, there is a speed difference of more than 100 kilometers per second with the Federation's warships, not to mention that these two high-speed destroyers are still accelerating.

Even if Raphael sends his own high-speed destroyers to chase, it will not be able to catch up in a short time.

But who would have thought that the more than ten warships that were still maneuvering from Lansford Military Port to the fleet assembly area before the exchange of fire were blocked on the route of the two destroyers by mistake.

After obtaining this information, Raphael immediately issued instructions to these warships, asking them to intercept the two federal destroyers.

Commodore Duwell also quickly discovered this situation, but an embarrassing situation also appeared at this time.

The two high-speed destroyers were located between the Federation Fleet and the dozen or so Imperial warships, and just near the beam.

This caused the Federation Fleet to not dare to fire in support, because a mistake could result in a misfire.

So Commodore Duville finally gave up the order for fire cover, and he could only pray that the two destroyers could successfully break through the interception.

Judging from the situation at this time, it is not impossible for these two Jackdaw-class high-speed destroyers to break through the interception.

Because the dozen or so Imperial battleships and heavy cruisers were previously in a maneuver to rush to join the main force, they did not form a formation, but were distributed in a straight line like a string of necklaces.

At this time, they had not even completed the axial adjustment.

The captains of the two Federation destroyers made a prompt decision and decided to rush directly through this loose interception line.

They directly ordered the weapon units to go offline and distributed the energy of the entire ship to the deflection field generator and plasma propulsion array.

At the same time, the HCP squadrons on board the two destroyers also stood on the catapult track.

These steel giants have now been equipped with fleet combat configurations.

A giant laminated armor shield is fixed on the left mechanical arm, and there is even an independent deflection force field generator on this shield.

The right mechanical arm holds a Gauss rifle, and the weapon rack on the back is a folded heavy particle cannon and a charged particle cannon.

In fleet battles, when the distance between the two sides is shortened to 10,000 kilometers, the ship-borne HCP will be dispatched.

At the initial velocity given by the ship's ejection, they will charge with their respective warships and become additional firepower points for these warships.

At the same time, the huge laminated armor shield and deflection force field are used to "block the gun" for the warship, protecting the relatively fragile side and rear main propulsion array of the warship.

The laser gun turret and the charged particle cannon are used to assist the warship in intercepting physical shells and various missiles and plasma torpedoes.

Soon, a total of 20 "Short-faced Bear" Block 20s from the two squadrons completed the ejection. Under the full power propulsion of the plasma propulsion array, they dragged a long blue wake to surpass their respective warships and turned into comets to rush towards the enemy ship in front.

"'Death Scythe' Squadron, 'Meteor' Squadron, engage the enemy!"

"This ship is about to perform continuous maneuvers to evade, all personnel on board are ready to prevent impact!"

"Attention deployment bay, be ready to deploy autonomous communication terminals!"
