Chapter 306: The Final Offensive Begins
Chapter 306: The Final Offensive Begins
Relying on the suppression of surrounding fixed weapons, the Bifang aerospace carrier platform silently arrived next to the main attack fleet.
Once the fleet had assembled and all carrier-based aircraft and mech squadrons had been resupplyed, the general offensive officially began.
At this point, the enemy's three conventional gunboats, already pinned down by the three friendly assault ships, had moved away from the main ship.
Meanwhile, the two stealth bombers attached to the enemy's main ship are still under maintenance.
While relying on the main attack fleet to draw fire, two stealth reconnaissance ships that were already in position slowly moved toward the muzzle of the enemy's main ship, preparing to launch torpedoes at the muzzle, hoping to use the firepower of the enemy's main guns and the powerful explosion to break through the enemy's shields.
Intense fighting broke out suddenly, and the ships in space were constantly moving.
With the cooperation of our main attack fleet, the two stealth reconnaissance ships successfully found a suitable window of opportunity.
When the enemy's main gun reached 80% charge, a stealthy reconnaissance ship opened the hatch of its 2800mm launcher and launched four heavy torpedoes in succession using high-pressure gas.
Even after leaving the hatch, the four heavy torpedoes continued to advance slowly using compressed gas.
When the enemy's main gun reached 99.8% charge, the thrusters at the tail of the four heavy torpedoes suddenly activated, and in a very short time they flew a distance of 4 kilometers and appeared outside the shield in front of the enemy's gun muzzle.
Of course, the enemy's main ship detected the four torpedoes the moment they were ignited, but because the main guns had reached the final stage of charging, the charging and launching procedures could not be terminated.
Ultimately, the silicon-based lifeforms on the enemy ship could only watch helplessly as the four torpedoes collided with the suddenly launched energy cluster, resulting in a violent explosion.
A dazzling beam of light, a bluish-green hue, shot out from the shield, precisely striking the four torpedoes and successfully detonating them.
In the instant after the explosion lit up the sky, a much dimmer, bluish-green beam of light emerged from behind the flames.
The sensor array on the flagship also detected the enemy's shield dropping.
"The tactics are effective; the enemy's shield capacity is estimated to be 42.8% remaining."
Olivia glanced up at the information Cleveland had uploaded, then lowered her head and revised the battle plan.
Three seconds after the new battle plan was uploaded, the massive Bifang space carrier appeared out of the void, its four energy cannons at the front of the ship flashing with a bluish-green glow.
Four beams of cyan-green particle light shot out from the main cannon, striking the enemy flagship's shields precisely and causing extremely violent explosions.
"Attack effective. Particle beam cannon has an annihilating effect on enemy shields, and the shield strength in the hit area is reduced."
On the enemy's flagship, the still-silent alarm sounded again.
[Warning! Penetrating particle beam detected, intensity exceeding the ship's defense range.]
[Warning! Artillery in Districts 4, 7, 12, and 15 is temporarily offline.]
Just as the enemy was drawing attention to the Bifang spacecraft platform amidst the piercing alarms, the Bifang spacecraft platform had already activated its stealth system, hiding once again in space and beginning an extremely slow second round of energy accumulation.
Under Xu Ling's control, the carrier-based aircraft squadron, having completed its resupply, moved forward again, carrying two heavy anti-ship missiles. Under the cover of ships and fixed weapons, it quickly approached the enemy's main ship.
These 24 WF-02 drones launched their heavy anti-ship missiles from a distance of 800 meters from the enemy ships.
The 48 anti-ship missiles launched this time were vaguely divided into two groups, flying towards the area previously bombarded by the Bifang aerospace carrier platform.
The number of missiles was relatively small; only seven anti-ship missiles struck the shields, thanks to the enemy's remaining close-in weaponry.
After the explosion, Cleveland obtained detailed information from high-precision energy detectors pre-installed in this region of the star system.
"Commander, attack effective. The shield energy fluctuation in the main gun hit area is 13.4% higher than that in the non-hit area."
Upon hearing this news, Lorraine and Olivia's lips curled up slightly, but judging from their expressions, the two seemed to have come up with some wicked idea.
Ophia revised the battle plan once again, and then made the Bifang space-based aircraft platform the main force of the plan.
After receiving the combat plan uploaded to the main channel by Ophia, Xu Ling quietly terminated the anti-ship resupply operation of the first carrier-based aircraft squadron and instead used the aircraft ammunition resupply pods in space for resupply.
At the same time, Xu Yun canceled the energy supply to the shield system that was on standby and instead put all of that energy into the camouflage system.
With the camouflage system operating at full power, the charging rate of the four main guns was significantly improved, and they were ready to fire the second time in 15 minutes.
Immediately afterwards, Olivia and Lorraine led the main attack fleet in a fierce assault, creating the illusion that their side was eager to break through the shield.
The two destroyers on the other side also began to exert their power, and a large number of missiles were launched from their launch units, flying towards the enemy flagship that was trying to evade them.
Meanwhile, the enemy's flagship was in a state of panicked escape.
Due to the special configuration of the main body of the ship, it is impossible to install large-caliber turrets or too many close-in weapon systems, which makes them somewhat helpless when faced with a sudden onslaught of missiles.
As veteran space pirates, these silicon-based beings quickly came to terms with reality and began to turn their ships around, preparing to bite and kill the flagship where Lorraine and Olivia were.
To avoid being hit by enemy main guns, the attacking fleet quickly dispersed, forming a loose but orderly formation.
The two destroyers on the other side began to maneuver actively, looking for suitable attack windows and ready to launch torpedoes to finish off the enemy.
After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, Lorraine received a message that the Bifang space carrier had completed charging its main gun.
Lorraine then mobilized all the external shields in the surrounding area, and after they were fixed to the outside of the flagship's armor, he activated all the external shields.
Immediately afterwards, the flagship began to accelerate and maneuver to the side, avoiding enemy fire while also pulling the enemy along, creating a suitable firing angle for the stealthy Bifang space carrier.
To achieve this goal, the flagship even took a hit from an enemy main gun that was not fully charged.
With this single blow, all 23 external shields mounted on the flagship became overloaded and ineffective, and the flagship's own shield strength dropped to 32%.
But four streaks of cyan light pierced through space and struck the side of the enemy's flagship with unerring accuracy.
Immediately afterwards, the destroyers and reconnaissance ships, having completed their maneuver, arrived at their designated positions and began launching torpedoes from the stern of the enemy ships.
