Chapter 657 Valkyrie frigate
The light flashed again from the diagonal behind the "Morning Star", and frigates about 100 meters long appeared on the flanks of the battlefield.
The number of intelligence officers reported 70.
Domino's expression looked ugly, like a dead father.
This was the first time he saw this kind of 100-meter-level frigate. No matter the short video leaked from the offensive and defensive battle of the "Mubarak" or the intelligence provided by the Duke of Knar, the opposition to the reformists, there was no such frigate.
This is their first appearance.
The Heretic-class Rapid Assault Boat became the first victims.
The h, a.l.o missiles formed a huge barrage on the flanks. The fast assault boats used to restrain golden fighter jets were flooded by the bursting rain, and they caught fire and exploded one after another.
The assault boat's rail cannon cannot even cause damage to the Valkyrie frigate. The projectile hit the hull's weight armor only scratched the marks, making it difficult to damage the hull structure.
A total of 110 heretic-class assault boats were completely buried under the violently flashing silver explosion tide under the missile attack that covered the entire area.
The Valkyrie frigate left, and the aftermath gradually faded away. Except for more than 20 of the 110 heretic-class rapid assault ships survived and ran away in advance, the remaining 80 ships were all in danger and became victims of this silver storm.
The wreckage of the assault boats collided with each other, and occasionally sparks bounced from the fracture, giving a hint of light and heat to the void cemetery.
Small pieces of wreckage and metal fragments spread silently. Occasionally, magnetic track projectiles with streaming light brushed by, knocking them away, storming them into the void, or hitting large pieces of wreckage, like hitting a loose snowball with a sledgehammer, smashing the thin outer skin into pieces and floating around.
The deputy commander of the naval fleet's garrison had a blue face. In any case, he did not expect that nearly a hundred heretic-class assault boats were torn into a ball of steel by the missile cluster fired by the opponent's frigate in just one encounter.
It is not uncommon for ships that can launch missiles intensively. Many missile frigates and destroyers can do it. The key is that the missiles launched by the opponent frigates are too elegant, so ethereal that they make people speechless. It makes people feel heart-stupid.
The attack methods of those missiles are very special. Unlike conventional missiles, they are not classic point-to-point blasting modes. Instead, they are precisely measured by auxiliary computers, and fully consider the range of fragmented sputtering generated by missile explosions, forming regional saturation explosion impacts without dead corners.
The key is that the missiles are extremely lethal. The explosion forms rounds of silver-white flashes as beautiful as the halo created by star light falling on the atmosphere. But such beauty is fatal. The sputtering fragments hit the assault boats and easily tear the armor. The molten ultra-high temperature jets will destroy the internal structure of the ship in an instant, causing fires, casualties, and even causing implosion.
Of course, if the other party is just a missile frigate, the range of killing caused by the barrage is limited, which is not worth worrying. The key is that there are 70 missile frigates. However, the navy did not know where they came from and suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Then 110 heretic-class rapid assault boats came thousands of miles to send people to their heads. They gave people a pot of clean.
Oh... no, there are still a few fish that have missed the net.
Just when commanders and fighters at all levels of the Navy were shocked and shocked, 70 Valkyrie frigates were divided into 6 teams, killing towards the wailing warship docks.
The speed of the corrupters is relatively slow, and it is a distance from the area near the Morning Star to the warship dock, which is enough for the Mar fleet frigate and destroyer-level warships to leave the port, and at least it can form combat power before more than 100 corrupters approach.
Sadly, Domino only focused on formulating countermeasures against bio-body warships of the corruptors and flying dragons, completely ignoring the explosive mosquitoes with a body length of only about 2 meters.
He thought that the warship's near defense system could easily kill these little bugs. If he took a step back, even if some caught fish, the teeth on the inside of their ring-shaped mouths would at most make captains of all levels feel annoyed. They would not cause powerful damage.
Lieutenant General's observation ability is very keen. When others were still amazement that 110 Heretic-class rapid assault ships were flooded with silver light, he had noticed those little things.
The small body of more than 2 meters is so small in naval battles that it obviously will not vomit deadly acid like the corruptor. According to his speculation, this may be a parasite-like thing that can be attached to the warship to destroy key equipment such as sensors, radar antennas, external turrets, etc.
The sharp teeth on the inside of their mouths seem to prove this.
Domino's thinking is very logical, but unfortunately the ability of Zerg units is not logical.
So, when he saw the scene below, he blushed a little and his mouth was filled with bitterness.
The speed of the explosion mosquitoes is much faster than that of the corrupters, even surpassing the flying dragon. The warship's close-defense system is difficult to hit the target. The three destroyers in the front were hit by more than 20 explosion mosquitoes in a continuous manner to the weak point of the structural.
In a moment, the flames rippled inside the hull illuminated the void. With the holes knocked out by the explosion mosquitoes as the starting point, the narrow hulls of the three Punishment Knight-class destroyers were torn apart, split into two, and flew to the military port all the way, smashing the signal lights and nearby radar stations into pieces.
80 explosion mosquitoes continued to move forward, like a whirlwind of death, wherever they passed, and the screen was filled with flashes of warships breaking out.
A Saint Knight-class light cruiser was knocked out of a circular wound along the center of the battleship by 12 explosion mosquitoes. The explosion spreads left and right along the keel. The flames swallowed everything along the way. Several shuttles were buried in the fire without waiting for the nearest area and became the burial objects of the mothership.
The command hall was silent, with only the slight shock caused by the shock waves produced by the local explosion, and the flashes on the large screen, making people understand facts that are not dreaming, but are unacceptable.
These little things are simply a kind of biological missile with independent thinking!
Missiles are consumables and can be supplemented.
Explosive mosquitoes can also be supplemented!
When 100 explosion mosquitoes flew out from the lower left of the Morning Star again and the intelligence officer turned the scan results to the large screen, Domino's short and thin body shivered for a moment.
This is the first time that Tang Fang has used explosive mosquitoes at all costs. 100 explosive mosquitoes can replace more than 20 naval warships in a very short time and disrupt the attack formation of opponent ship groups.
More than 700 warships of the Mar fleet were berthed at the warship docks, and 200 explosion mosquitoes would first leave the berth, breaking up more than 50 warships that were used to delay time. The corrupters drove in and resisted the light rain from the near-defense gun system, and sprayed balls of parasitic spores on the warships that were slowly leaving the port on the berth.
The 120mm magnetic track projectile hit them, and blood and body fluids flew everywhere in an instant.
It only takes two or three breaths. The surging tissue cells will squeeze the projectile out of the body and return to its original state.
The battles that were coming and going did not last long. The addition of 70 Valkyrie frigates completely subverted the war situation at the warship dock.
The indiscriminate random shooting of the h.a.l.o missile system has caused most of the warship docks to fall into the sea of fire, and explosions of all sizes swept across the entire airspace like hurricanes, and a large number of fragments and smoke spread around.
The silver flash blocked the light of "Georgia". Some large ships exploded, and the shock waves produced by the explosions broke through the main structure of the dock. The wreckage of the building in kilometers was separated from the main body of the dock, carrying surging flames and cloud-like smoke. It rolled into the deep space.
One after another, inactive warships followed them and slowly sank into the dark and deep space.
The powerful combat effectiveness shown by the established Valkyrie frigate shocked everyone on the "Morning Star"... including Captain Tang himself.
In the official plot of StarCraft, Valkyrie frigates are mostly used as the auxiliary combat power of battle cruisers to enter the battlefield, or escort colonial ships to the target star field. There are few cases of combat alone, and there are no established troops composed simply of Valkyrie frigates. First, Valkyrie frigates are expensive to build and are not as useful as mobile fortresses like battle cruisers. Second, human opponents are the Zerg Air Force. Faced with a vast number of flying dragons, explosion mosquitoes, devourers and other flying units, Valkyrie frigates are far less than small Viking fighters, and small and medium-sized aerospace fighters such as vengeful spirit fighters are useful. Only in some large-scale battles can Valkyrie frigates have amazing "performances".
It was not until Captain Tang went crazy today that he lost his low combat power and consumed the army. He freed up the population to create 70 Valkyrie frigates and put them all into the battlefield. He discovered how terrifying the invincible fleet this expensive missile frigate was after it was established.
As we all know, at a time when the human warship system is deeply influenced by the Ipsilon civilization, fleet-level wars are mostly long-range bombardment, with small and medium-sized rail guns, large rail guns, and even classic howitzers and rapid-fire guns, which tend to be precise strikes in terms of attack paths rather than full-domain coverage.
In such an environment, high-precision electromagnetic weapons, fire-controlled radars, auxiliary jet systems and magnetic shields develop relatively quickly, while missiles, thunder flying, and large and medium-caliber short-range weapons develop relatively slowly.
Time is advancing to the present. With the vigorous development of formation, the ecm and eccm technologies, it has gradually replaced high-precision electromagnetic weapons, fire control radars, auxiliary jet systems and magnetic shields in the field of military technology, becoming the new leader.
The result of this is that electromagnetic weapons' dominance in fleet-level confrontations and large-scale battles is increasingly shaken, losing their original dazzling glory.
The main problem lies in the hit rate, because these emergent counter-technology has flourished. The shooting accuracy of weapons such as electromagnetic guns, rail guns, coil guns, and re-engagement guns have declined significantly, marking the decline of electromagnetic weapons.
In recent years, the issue of developing practical, high-energy lasers, plasma cannons, particle cannons and other energy weapons with higher accuracy to replace electromagnetic weapons has been accepted by the leadership of sovereign states and put on the agenda. Therefore, as a great nobleman, the elite forces in the hands of the great forces began to install energy weapons.
Even so, fleet-level wars still follow the combat style of the era of electromagnetic cannons as kings, and there will be no big changes in a short period of time.
The combat method of medium and short-range saturated bombing like the Valkyrie frigate is completely different from the above situation. After all, the opponents of the human race in StarCraft are Zergs, which are known for their outstanding numbers and hand-to-hand combat capabilities.
Therefore, whether it is a frigate of the same level, destroyers, cruisers, or even battleships, they seem to be restrained and clumsy when facing the Valkyrie frigate that is unusual.
Because the role of the frigate in Captain Tang’s hand is not a warship, but a fighter plane! Bomber!
To be precise, he is equipped with a frigate-level combat aircraft, but uses the offensive method of aerospace fighter clusters.
But their speed is extremely fast, their armor is incredibly thick, and their weapons are many "Tianma Meteor Fist".
The Mar fleet was in trouble, and Domino was unfortunate, and became the target of the Valkyrie frigate's first expedition.
The situation at the warship dock is not good, and the situation of the main body of the military port is also not very good, because the "Morning Star" directly came to the military port, and the corrupters cluster is very close to the target.
Before the explosion mosquitoes launched an attack on the vanguard ship of the Mar fleet, 150 corrupters were already in battle.
From a distance, the Sultanlun Military Port is like a huge wild boar with steel bristles and cold fangs, but that was the usual. Now it has turned into a wind forest volcano. While it explodes under the attack of corrupters, it also sprays out light and fire.
The primary target of large plasma cannons and rail cannons is the "Morning Star". The speed cannons and double cannons have caused blood to splattering the corrupters and their scales to fly around.
The surface of the Aurora shield of the "Morning Star" is rippling, and the color is flashing and accelerated. He is really unable to compete with the military-port-level defense force, so he can only activate the antimatter auxiliary thruster to accelerate the departure of the airspace.
This state did not last long. 150 corrupters ignited the large-scale turret of the military port, and the price was that 44 corrupters were buried in the battlefield. The damage in the war was only the case when they fought against the Mubarak garrison fleet. It is conceivable how strong the defense of the Sultanlun Military Port is.
The "Morning Star" left the military port airspace and retreated to the range where the space-based defense platform was located, and cooperated with more than 50 devourers and Feilong to clean up the space-based defense platform.
Because the unmanned space-based defense platform turned against the battlefield in the battle, while the "Morning Star" and the cluster of biological warships appeared, Domino immediately ordered the front-line defense area command to paralyze the unmanned space-based defense platform. At this time, the main thing that was put into the battlefield was human guarded defense facilities.
They are generally very powerful, but their disadvantages are their large size and low sensitivity.
As air units known for their speed among Zerg units, the Devourer and the Flying Dragon have an overwhelming advantage when facing cannons. With a command system like the detector - Star Track Command Center - Tang Fang, large turrets cannot lock their figures at all. Only some small laser cannon arrays can lock them by relying on motion and optical sensors combined with the latest fire-controlled radar's firing angle correction procedures. (To be continued.)
