184 Attack to Attack
No one can truly control the direction of the battle, including the commanders of both sides. They can only do their best to create a situation that is beneficial to their own side within their ability.
The fleet hidden in the back of the moon is the last trump card in Yu Xueqing's hand and the last killer weapon of the fleet. As soon as it circled out from behind the moon, it immediately attracted the attention of the enemy.
It was not until this time that the enemy realized that his side had made a mistake in judgment and missed a move to take the lead.
It was not too late to make up for the fence. The enemy immediately adjusted its deployment. More than 70 alien motherships and more than 700 swallowtail ships immediately ceased fire and adjusted its formation against the Eastern Horse Fleet.
The enemy's momentum was much greater than that of the Eastern Horse Fleet. No matter how you look at it, the Eastern Horse Fleet was like the mantis blocking the car.
Yu Xueqing snorted coldly, what did the enemy regard the Eastern Horse Fleet as? Are there soft persimmons that can be controlled by others? Then they are really wrong!
Although there are only 38 warships that appeared, they include two giants - the aerospace mothership with a length of more than 3,000 meters and a carrying more than 1,600 aircraft!
Whether on the ground, sky or starry sky, the wolf pack tactics are always one of the most effective tactics for humans. The aerospace mothership can be called the Dinghai Sword in the Star Fleet and is the undisputed core of the fleet. Only these two giant ships can make the enemy have a good drink.
In addition, there are eight battleships with a length of more than 2,500 meters, heavy armor and firepower, and are the peak battleships of humanity, both offense and defense.
For a long time, assault clusters composed of battleships have been the mainstay of the Star Fleet and are invincible wherever they go.
There are also eighteen heavy destroyers, including Storm. They are no less than two thousand meters long. Although their armor and firepower are not as good as battleships, the destroyers are more flexible and maneuverable, emphasizing maneuverability and firepower, which is the undisputed backbone of the Star Fleet.
Finally, there are ten light destroyers close to 2,000 meters. In addition to the slightly inferior protection, they are not much worse than heavy destroyers. They are the light cavalry among the main battleships.
As for frigates, haha, although they also have the ability to independently fight alien warships, most of the frigates affiliated to the East Horse Fleet were assigned to various colonial stars. The number was not large and the combat effectiveness was relatively low. In the end, all frigates were decided to stay at the East Horse Star.
Before the East Horse Fleet was in place, the enemy had completed the adjustment and was ready to face the attack.
The Eastern Horse Fleet moved forward and adjusted, and the two aerospace motherships released carriers at the highest speed. The huge warships were like water hyacinths with holes all over the body. A large number of fighter jets lined up in line, popping out of the ship at extremely high speed, forming standard assault formations near the mothership, and neatly guarded the mothership, with a murderous aura coming towards us.
The distance between the two sides continued to get closer, and suddenly it seemed as if an invisible line suddenly broke. Yu Xueqing waved her arm suddenly and let out a roar: "Fire the cannon!"
More than 3,000 aerospace fighter jets immediately advanced, and in a blink of an eye it was divided into more than 400 eight aircraft formations, like floods that collapsed. The collapsed snow peaks turned into torrents and rushed towards the enemy.
At the same time, eight battleships lined up in a row took the lead in firing fire at the enemy army, and the beam of light hit the enemy ships, and countless artillery missiles flew away from the battleships.
Then all the battleships collectively filled the right rudder, and the battleships rotated ninety degrees to the right, changing from bow to port to port to form a loose battle line!
All the turrets and barrels on the ship are aimed at the enemy. The dense barrels are like a forest of steel, which is enough to cause intensive phobia.
With a command, the battleship fired again, and the firepower intensity suddenly increased by several levels. Countless beams of light crossed the void, and the dense bullets almost covered the starry sky on the left side of the battle line.
There is no saying in the interstellar era to seize the word T-head, but since humans entered the interstellar era, the design idea of warships is to have the strongest bow protection, the strongest firepower, and the smallest area against the enemy.
The warship designed according to this idea has many advantages, because the core area is hidden deep inside the ship, and it doesn’t matter if the bow of the ship is completely destroyed. It will not endanger the safety of the personnel on the ship, nor will it damage the propulsion system at the tail of the ship. It is a very practical design.
The only disadvantage is that the bow of the enemy must always be used against the enemy during combat.
But the bow is so small that no matter what means to make up for it, it cannot change the fact that the bow area is limited. The firepower in the front of the battleship can never be as good as the sidewalk.
For medium and light warships with limited protection, the bow against the enemy is an insurmountable iron rule. Only in extremely special circumstances can the side facing the enemy be allowed.
However, the protection of the battleship is extraordinary. The thickness of the armor on the side side is comparable to the front of the destroyer. It is an ordinary practical tactic to fight the enemy with the side side.
At the same time, eighteen heavy destroyers and ten light destroyers mixed into two formations, bypassing the battle line head-on and rushing to the enemy's flanks at the highest speed. Each warship tried its best to expose all its firepower to the enemy ship.
Xue Yifei's eyes shone and breathed heavily, and his whole body was in extreme excitement.
If there was such a fleet back then, how good would it be if there was such a powerful firepower?
Chen Yifei's eyes were blurred, and he was so excited that he pulled Lao Xue's arm, and his cheeks were covered with excitement.
The enemy was not willing to be outdone and immediately launched a counterattack, and the artillery fire from both sides intersected in the air.
The firepower of the Eastern Horse Fleet seemed to be scattered, but in fact Yu Xueqing had already designated several enemy ships, with multiple firepowers and multiple overlapping, which meant that several enemy ships targeted either sank immediately or were severely injured on the spot.
Most of the first round of counterattacks of aliens fell on the battle line, probably because there were not many battleships, and the enemy did not pay special attention to any battleship. Each battleship reported different degrees of combat losses.
However, they are all within the scope of tolerance.
Yu Xueqing had long anticipated this scene and put on a battle line to set up a target to attract the enemy's firepower and to gain opportunities for the enemy's aerospace group and the detouring destroyer fleet!
As for battleships, haha, this loss is still affordable!
The two sides opened fire again, and the Eastern Horse Fleet destroyed several alien motherships again.
The enemy's second round of counterattacks was different. Inspired by the Eastern Horse Fleet, the enemy immediately adjusted their tactics, and all firepower was concentrated on the battle line, and the enemy was doing more extreme than the Eastern Horse Fleet. Instead of concentrating firepower on several human warships, all firepower was concentrated together and all firepower was concentrated on one battleship!
The Oriental immediately received a report from the battleship: "The flagship flagship, Qianxing, the port side of the port, was seriously damaged, the armor was broken down in multiple places, and the port side firepower was cleared!"
Yu Xueqing's heart tightened: "What's going on inside the ship?"
"The core area is intact, with slight losses in the outer chamber and no abnormalities in the middle chamber."
Yu Xueqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, Qianxing, roll immediately to avoid secondary damage to the port side!"
"Thousand Stars understand!"
Chapter completed!
