Super Mothership

Chapter 342 Ambush

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

Giant shields, frigates, small aircraft carriers, and Gemini's three-in-a-row strikes suddenly made the wormhole defense line on the Earth's side appear precarious!

In order not to be broken by each other, the Earth side chose to form a defensive front, with two warships guarding the floating fortress.

This is just like in naval battles, in order to defend against enemy air strikes, a fleet often chooses to form a more dense formation and cooperates with each other to organize a tight air defense firepower network.

Therefore, except for minefields, most of the current attacks on the earth side come from one direction, which makes it possible to realize the opponent's shield defense tactics.

On the other hand, according to the original expectation, the damage output of suppressed firepower is not related to the attack location. Whether it is a joint group attack or a three-node attack, the damage caused to the enemy per unit time is fixed, so there is no need to risk being caught by the enemy and beaten. The risk of multi-faceted attack.

However, I didn't expect Gemini to use this kind of shield attack method to make himself passive.

In fact, this was also a targeted arrangement made by Gustav after taking advantage of the weakness of the lack of troops on his side and not daring to divide his troops.

But despite the surprise, the firepower advantage of the earth side still exists!

The shield can only defend, and the small mothership has basically no combat power. Now it can only fight soy sauce. The mecha and the fighter have not yet entered their respective attack range, and the only frigate can even defend very reluctantly, and it is simply unable to launch many attacks.

So the current situation is basically a group fight!

Although the dispersion of the shield caused the attack hit rate of the earth side to plummet, it also exposed the rear frigates and small aircraft carriers to the attack.

Nie Yun did not disperse his firepower to attack the mecha and fighter groups that seemed to be the most threatening in the desperate approach, but concentrated all his firepower on the frigate for the first time.

This frigate has significantly strengthened the performance of the shield. The tortoise shell is actually unusually thick. After a full 2 minutes, its shield is broken, and then it suddenly turns into a pile of cosmic garbage under a few beams of light.

In less than half a minute, the small aircraft carrier that had lost all cover also followed in its footsteps!

Gemini lost two warships in exchange for a fleet that had been completely dispersed.

This kind of exchange can't talk about who loses and who wins. It's like trading one's own cannon for the opponent's horse in chess. Whoever takes advantage of it, that is, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wise.

In addition to the 200 Wandering mecha, the enlarged pictures of these fighters were also captured by detection equipment on the earth side.

From the appearance point of view, this kind of fighter looks a bit like a four-corner nail with a streamlined shell at first glance, yes!It's the kind used to tie tires……

The bulge at the tip of the fighter is a high-energy laser cannon, while the three bulges at the tail form a weird triangular propeller.

This kind of propeller has higher flexibility than traditional single-shot and double-shot thrusters. Judging from the images observed by Nie Yun, the tumbling and direction-changing maneuvering performance is excellent, and it can almost make continuous lightning-shaped maneuvers.

In the case of high-precision radar locking and light-speed attack, this flexible maneuverability can achieve more difficult disorderly avoidance and escape the radar locking of enemy warships!

Of course, the multi-vector direction-changing system requires more intelligent heading and balance control, at least the earth is still a long way short.

These fighters move almost in concert, no matter how the shield in front of them moves, they can roll and follow closely in sync, straight and neat like an artistic performance.

“Um... is the triangle propeller?Could it be that the future development direction of space fighter thrusters is quantitative change causing qualitative change?”Our Captain Nie raised three to five, and he was already thinking about the next generation of five-pointed star-shaped super thrusters in his heart.……

The fleet is steadily advancing, and with the density of firepower on the earth's side, if you want to attack a group of flexible “chicks” hiding behind the “hens” from a long distance, it is basically a cannon to hit the mosquitoes, with little effect.

Nie Yun thought with his toes, and he knew the reason why the other party did not continue to send warships over. It was nothing more than wanting to wait for this group of aircraft to approach and start harassing the earth's positions, so that he could take advantage of his own time to enter the army wantonly!

There are thousands of aircraft fleets, including 200 mecha units that are quite threatening. If there is only one fortress and two frigates on the earth side, it is almost inevitable that these small things will break in and disrupt the line of defense.

They don't even need to storm, they just need to constantly make offensive gestures to harass, which is enough to fight for a respite for their own “beach landing”.

The 54 teams are like 54 poisonous snakes, swimming and gradually approaching the line of defense on the earth's side.

Although there are unlucky “chicks” stepping on thunder or being hit by attacks from time to time, in terms of the relatively large number of aircraft, this loss is completely painless.

They are like greedy snakes, hitting dark thunder one by one, the front row falls down, and the back row is on top, sparks and lightning along the way, violently colliding towards the earth's defense line.

No matter how big a man's mind is, it can't be bigger than the vast space of the universe. The hundreds of thousands of kilometers of minefields arranged by Nie Yun are already quite ferocious, and it can be said that they far exceed Gemini's pre-war predictions.

Paying a higher price than originally planned, Gemini's fleet finally rushed out of the minefield, and then quickly narrowed the distance between the two sides while doing evasive maneuvers!

“Interception Team 1~4, attack immediately!”Seeing that the opponent is about to enter the range and threaten his own line of defense, Nie Yun finally issued an order and opened the first hole card first!

The next moment, I saw the Gemini fleet not far from the side of the forward route. From a stray asteroid bunker, the four teams of aircraft flew out silently like ghosts. After quickly moving closer and merging into one group, they rushed towards the Gemini fleet at full speed.

Each team has 100 mechas in its fleet, which adds up to 400 units, all of which are vagrants!

“No, the other party has an ambush!”The front-line commander of the team leader saw the dense red dots suddenly appearing on the radar, and couldn't help but change his face suddenly.

The graviton radar they use can only detect gravitational waves emitted by objects. If a flying object is close to another flying object, then the radar will default to an object, which is like an aircraft using ultra-low altitude flight to avoid radar waves.

Therefore, an aircraft docked on a certain celestial body cannot be captured by graviton radar.

In fact, Gemini had already guessed before the war that this group of ”rebels" might arrange some backhands on those wandering asteroids, arrange some fixed weapons and even ambush troops, but they subconsciously thought that the opponent had only two warships, how could the ambush pose a threat to their huge fleet?

However, now, the situation on the battlefield has gone down sharply!

For example, if the mecha is a heavy cavalry in space warfare, then the fighter is a light cavalry, one pays attention to the integration of attack and defense, and the other pays attention to flexibility!

The current situation is that 400 heavy cavalry rushed towards a mixed straggling formation of 200 heavy cavalry and 1,000 light cavalry in a dense frontal formation.

Gemini's straggling shield charge tactics to avoid the intensive firepower of the Earth's fleet immediately fell into passivity in the face of new threats.

What's more terrible is that they are still afraid to assemble for confrontation at this moment, because the firepower of the opponent's fortress and battleship is eyeing.

This is equivalent to a long-lived artillery unit being in the rear. If you dare to assemble, there will definitely be dozens of Italian guns on the opposite side without saying a word!

Now... things are more embarrassing……

TL Note- The only fear is insufficient firepower....
