Chapter 174 War on Track

Closer, closer...

In the depths of the distant starry sky, a huge fleet is approaching at high speed.

This fleet consists of thirteen giant ships, three "Firestorm-class" escort ships, and ten "Cobra" destroyers.

"Colonel Ralph, we have entered the torpedo combat range..."

Hearing this, Ralph's face sank, and he waved his hand and said: "Notify all ships to launch torpedoes, target "Orbital Fortress"!"

With Ralph's order, the fleet responded immediately.

There was a flash of fire in the fleet, and bursts of fire broke out from the bows of the ten "Cobra" destroyers.

One after another huge torpedoes shot out and flew into the depths of the starry sky.

Their tail thrusters sprayed out long flames of fire, and from a distance, it looked like a meteor passing through the starry sky.

"Warning, a high-speed small target is approaching at high speed, it is a giant missile..."

In the orbital fortress, Shibō Ichiro saw a dense and high-speed approaching red dots on the battle map.

Shiba Ichiro waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Prepare for interception. Inform all ships that they are not allowed to take the initiative to attack without my order. Fight the enemy ships under the cover of the defense fortress. Let all Gundams be ready for battle."

Thirteen battleships...

Looking at the thirteen huge moving red signs on the tactical map, Shiba Ichiro's expression changed.

The "Terra Empire" only dispatched thirteen battleships. Relying on the "Yamato" orbital defense fortress, it may not be impossible to fight it.

Closer, closer...

Dozens of torpedoes rushed towards the "Yamato" orbital fortress at high speed.

The orange tail flames ejected from its tail were like a meteor shower passing through the starry sky.

"Fire, fire..."

The close defense system of the orbital fortress opened fire.

The small-caliber MEGA particle cannon fired a series of blue particle beams.

A blue rain of fire suddenly attacked the depths of the starry sky, covering the route of the torpedo.

"Boom..."

Multiple torpedoes were hit and exploded in mid-air, turning into balls of fire.

The battle officially began.

The anti-aircraft firepower of the "Yamato" orbital defense fortress was very dense, and with the assistance of the fleet, the torpedoes were effectively intercepted.

In the starry sky, dozens of torpedoes were destroyed one by one before they approached the "Yamato" orbital fortress.

Some torpedo navigation radars were interfered with, and they were seriously off course, and no one knew where they flew.

Suddenly, three thick white beams of light swept across the starry sky and crashed into the "Xinjing Shogunate" fleet.

Three Magellan-class battleships were hit on the spot, and their shields only lasted for a second before being broken, and the hull was melted and exploded.

It was the main gun of the "Firestorm-class" escort ship of the Imperial Fleet that opened fire.

Although the three Magellan battleships were destroyed, the fleet of the "Xinjing Shogunate" did not cause chaos.

The fleet camp has been stabilized, without advancing or retreating.

"Free fire, all Gundams attack, quick!"

In the command room of the Yamato Orbital Defense Fortress, Shiba Ichiro roared.

With Shiba Ichiro's order, the gates of the Yamato Orbital Defense Fortress opened wide.

The upper decks of the fleet ships also opened one by one, revealing the Gundam bodies inside.

In the dazzling blue light, one Gundam after another rose up and rushed from the battlefield to the Imperial Fleet in the depths of the starry sky.

More than a hundred Gundams flew out of the various attack ports of the Yamato Orbital Defense Fortress, rushing towards the Imperial Fleet like flying ants leaving their nests.

At the same time, the 1000mm caliber main gun of the Yamato Orbital Defense Fortress opened fire.

The thick blue beam swept across the starry sky like a shining meteor shower, sweeping towards the Imperial Supervisor.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers passed in a flash, and a large number of beams hit the shields of the Imperial battleships.

The void shield immediately rippled.

Between the planetary orbit and outer space, the two sides started to bombard each other.

White beams of light and blue beams crossed and attacked the other fleet.

Looking up at the sky from the surface of the planet, you can see the shining lights of various colors.

Imperial fleet, flagship, bridge.

"Colonel Ralph, the enemy carrier-based aircraft is coming and will engage our fleet in 147 seconds."

Standing in front of the window, Ralph's face was slightly cold.

"Order all ships to move closer to the flagship and compress the space for the enemy carrier-based aircraft to move..."

The firepower of the close-in automatic gun is weak, and the impact on the void shield is minimal.

In the cosmic battlefield, the intensity of close-in firepower is limited to avoid harming friendly warships.

Even if the shield of a friendly warship is broken, the close-in firepower cannot cause effective damage to the friendly ship.

The protection capability of carrier-based aircraft is generally weak, and the close-in firepower is enough to cause a devastating blow to it.

Following Ralph's order, outside, thirteen warships moved closer to the flagship under enemy fire.

The originally loose formation suddenly became tight, and the void shields of the warships were almost touching and connected in parallel.

"Notify the "King" and say that the fleet has approached the enemy's orbital fortress, the enemy's carrier-based aircraft are approaching the fleet from above the battlefield, and the assault landing craft can approach the orbital fortress from below the battlefield for landing operations."

At this time, outside, above the battlefield, more than a hundred RX-78 artillery Gundams approached the fleet.

In order to deal with the enemy's giant ships, they all replaced them with anti-ship rocket launchers.

"Each team disperses, attack freely, and give priority to attacking the enemy ship's thrusters, bridge, first team, follow me!"

At the command of the Gundam commander, more than a hundred Gundams dispersed in teams and rushed directly to the Imperial Fleet below.

The engines behind them spewed out dazzling blue tail flames, which made them extremely fast.

From a distance, it looked like a blue meteor shower was falling from above the fleet.

Seeing that the blue meteor shower was about to rush into the fleet, the close defense firepower of the Imperial Fleet opened fire.

The automatic guns of each ship turned their muzzles and aimed at the starry sky above.

The multi-barreled automatic guns started to rotate, spewing out dazzling flames in silence.

Hundreds of fire dragons soared into the sky and rushed towards the Gundam fleet.

"Boom..."

Facing the dense close-in firepower, no matter how strong the Gundam's mobility is, its space for movement is extremely limited.

Before rushing into the fleet, a group of dazzling flames broke out in the starry sky above.

No matter how dense the firepower is, there will always be fish that slip through the net.

With the mobility of the Gundam, it is very difficult to intercept the Gundam outside the void shield.

Facing the dense close-in fire, one Gundam after another rushed into the fleet like a moth to a flame.

This time, they were smart.

Just as it was about to hit the void shield, the body suddenly turned and flew close to the void shield.

After flying a certain distance, the speed suddenly slowed down and entered the inside of the void shield sideways.
