Chapter 343 Ambush
Giant shields, frigates, and small aircraft carriers, the triple combo of Gemini suddenly made the wormhole defense line on the earth side seem precarious!
In order not to be broken by each one, the Earth side chose to form a defensive front, with two warships guarding the floating fortress.
This is like in a naval battle, in order to defend against the enemy's air attack, a fleet will often choose to form a relatively dense formation and cooperate with each other to organize a tight air defense firepower network.
Therefore, except for the minefield, most of the current attacks on the Earth side come from one direction, which makes it possible for the opponent's shield defense tactics to be realized.
On the other hand, according to the original estimate, the damage output of suppressing firepower has nothing to do with the attack location. Whether it is a joint group attack or dispersed into three node attacks, the damage caused to the enemy per unit time is fixed, so there is no need to take risks. Attack on multiple fronts at the risk of being caught and beaten by the enemy.
However, I didn't expect that Gemini would use this kind of shield attack method to make himself passive.
In fact, this is also a targeted arrangement by Gustav, who took into account the weakness of the lack of troops in the solar system and did not dare to divide the troops.
But despite the surprise, the firepower advantage of the earth side still exists!
Shields can only defend, and the small mothership has basically no combat power. Now it can only play soy sauce. The mechs and fighters have not yet entered their respective attack ranges, and the only frigate is very reluctant to even defend, and is unable to send out much. attack.
So the current situation is basically gang fights!
Although the dispersion of the shields caused the earth side's attack hit rate to plummet, it also exposed the rear frigates and small aircraft carriers to the attack.
Nie Yun did not disperse the firepower to attack the mechs and fighter groups that were desperately approaching and seemed to be the most threatening, but immediately concentrated all firepower on the frigate.
This frigate has obviously enhanced the performance of its shield. The tortoise's shell is unexpectedly thick. After a full 2 minutes, its shield was broken, and then turned into a pile of cosmic garbage under a few beams of light.
Less than half a minute later, the small aircraft carrier that 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 is not about who loses and who wins. It is like exchanging one's cannon for the opponent's horse in chess. Whoever takes advantage of it is a matter of opinion.
In addition to the 200 rogue mechs, the enlarged images of these fighters were also captured by the detection equipment on the earth side.
From the appearance, this kind of fighter looks like a four-cornered nail with a streamlined shell at first glance, yes!It's the kind used to puncture tires...
The bump on the tip of the fighter is a high-energy laser cannon, while the three bumps on the tail form a weird triangular thruster.
This kind of thruster has higher flexibility than traditional single-engine and double-engine thrusters. From the images observed by Nie Yun, the rolling and direction-changing maneuverability is excellent, and it can almost make continuous lightning-shaped maneuvers.
In the case of high-precision radar lock and light-speed attack, this flexible maneuverability can achieve more difficult disorderly evasion and escape the radar lock of enemy warships!
Of course, the multi-vector steering system requires more intelligent heading and balance control, at least the earth is still far behind.
These fighters are almost coordinated movement, no matter how the shield in front moves, they can roll and follow closely, straight and neat like an art performance.
"Hmm... triangular thrusters? Could it be that the development direction of space fighter thrusters in the future is that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes?" Our captain Nie is already thinking about the next generation of pentagram-shaped super thrusters...
The fleet is advancing steadily, but with the density of firepower on the earth side, if you want to attack a group of flexible "chicks" hiding behind the "hen" from a long distance, you are basically shooting mosquitoes with cannons, with little effect.
Nie Yun thought with his toes, and knew the reason why the other side didn't continue to send warships over. It was nothing more than wanting to wait for these fleets to approach and start harassing the Earth's positions, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity when their own side was busy!
There are thousands of aircraft fleets, including 200 mecha units that pose a considerable threat. If there is only one fortress and two frigates on the earth side, it is almost inevitable that these small things will break into and disrupt the defense line.
They don't even need to attack by force, they only need to continue to harass with aggressive postures, which is enough to fight for their own respite for "landing on the beach".
The 54 squads are like 54 poisonous snakes, swimming and gradually approaching the defense line on the earth side.
Although there are unlucky "chicks" who step on mines or are hit by attacks from time to time, compared to the huge number of fleets, this loss is completely trivial.
They are like greedy snakes, hitting dark thunders one after another, the ones in the front row fell down, and the ones in the back row went up, sparks and lightning all the way, savagely rushing towards the earth's defense line.
No matter how big a man's mind is, it is not as big as the vast universe. The minefield of hundreds of thousands of kilometers laid out by Nie Yun is already quite ferocious, which can be said to be far beyond Gemini's pre-war predictions.
After paying a higher price than the original plan, Gemini's fleet finally rushed out of the minefield, and then quickly closed the distance between the two sides while doing evasive maneuvers!
"Interception teams No. 1~4, attack immediately!" Seeing that the opponent is about to enter the range and threaten his own defense line, Nie Yun finally issued an order and revealed the first hole card!
At the next moment, not far from the side of the advancing route of the Gemini fleet, four fleets flew out of a rogue asteroid shelter like ghosts, and after quickly closing in and merging into a single fleet, they headed towards Gemini at full speed. The star fleet rushed away.
There are 100 mechas in each fleet, adding up to 400, all wanderers!
"No, the other side has an ambush!" The frontline commander of the team couldn't help but change suddenly when he saw the dense red dots suddenly appearing on the radar.
The graviton radar they use can only detect the gravitational fluctuations emitted by objects. If a flying object is close to another flying object, the radar will default to an object, just like an airplane avoiding radar waves by flying at an ultra-low altitude.
Therefore, the aircraft docked on a certain celestial body cannot be captured by the graviton radar.
In fact, Gemini had guessed before the war that this group of "rebels" might deploy some backhands on those wandering asteroids, arrange some fixed weapons and even ambush, but they subconsciously thought that the opponent only had two warships, and the ambush How can the top of the sky pose a threat to their huge fleet?
But now, the situation on the battlefield has taken a turn for the worse!
For example, if mechs are heavy cavalry in space warfare, then fighter planes are light cavalry. One focuses on the integration of offense and defense, and the other focuses on flexibility and change!
The current situation is that 400 heavy cavalry rushed to the mixed formation of 200 heavy cavalry and 1000 light cavalry in a dense formation.
In order to avoid the intensive firepower of the fleet on the earth side, Gemini carried out skirmish shield charge tactics, but immediately fell into a passive position in the face of new threats.
What's more terrible is that they dare not gather to fight at this moment, because the opponent's fortress and battleship firepower are eyeing.
This is equivalent to a deadly artillery unit in the rear. If you dare to gather, there will definitely be dozens of Italian cannons on the opposite side!
Now... things are more embarrassing...
