Chapter 657 Valkyrie Frigate
The "Morning Star" flashed again obliquely behind, and frigates about 100 meters in length appeared on the flanks of the battlefield.
Intelligence officers report number 70.
Domino had an ugly expression on his face, like a dead father.
This was the first time he had seen such a 100-meter-class frigate. Whether it was the short video leaked from the "Mubarak" offensive and defensive battle, or the information provided by the opposition reformists in the Duchy of Knar, there was no such frigate.
This is their first appearance.
Heretic-class fast assault craft were the first casualties.
Groups of h, missiles formed a huge barrage on the flanks, and the fast assault boats used to pin down the golden fighters were submerged by the rain of fragments before they could get close to the target, and burst into flames and exploded one after another.
The railgun of the assault boat can't even cause damage to the Valkyrie frigate. When the projectile hits the ship's armor, it only scratches the ship's body armor, and it is difficult to damage the ship's structure.
A total of 110 heretic-class assault boats were completely buried under the violent flashing silver explosion tide under the missile attack covering the entire area.
The Valkyrie frigate left, and the aftermath gradually subsided. Except for more than 20 peripheral ships that survived the disaster and ran away ahead of time, the remaining 80 or so ships were all lost and became victims of this silver storm.
The wreckage of the assault boat collided with each other, and electric sparks occasionally bounced from the breakage, contributing a ray of light and heat to the void cemetery.
The small pieces of wreckage and metal fragments on the periphery spread silently. Occasionally, magnetic track projectiles with streamers passed by, knocking them into the air, spinning and disappearing into the void, or hitting large pieces of wreckage. Like hitting a loose snowball with a sledgehammer, the thin outer skin was smashed and scattered in all directions.
The deputy commander of the garrison naval fleet turned blue. In any case, he never expected that nearly a hundred Heretic-class assault boats would be torn into pieces of steel by the missile clusters fired by the opposing frigate brigade just after meeting each other.
It is not uncommon for ships to be able to fire missiles intensively. Many missile frigates and destroyers can do it. The key is that the missiles launched by the opponent's frigate are too elegant, so elegant that it makes people speechless and heart-stopping.
The attack method of those missiles is very special. It is different from conventional missiles, and it is not the classic point-to-point blasting mode. Instead, it uses computer-assisted precise measurement, fully considers the sputtering range of fragments produced by the missile explosion, and forms a regional saturated explosion impact without dead ends.
The key is that the lethality of those missiles is ridiculously high,
The explosion formed rounds of silver-white flashes as beautiful as the halos created by starlight falling on the atmosphere, but such beauty is fatal. The sputtered fragments hit the assault boat, tearing the armor easily, and the ultra-high temperature jet in the molten state will destroy the internal structure of the ship in an instant, causing fire and casualties, and even triggering an implosion.
Of course, if the opponent is just a guided missile frigate, the damage range of the barrage created is limited, so it is not a concern. The key is a full 70 guided missile frigates. However, the navy did not know where they came from, and they suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and then 110 heretic-class fast assault boats came thousands of miles away to send people away. Give people a pot of stew clean.
Oh... no, there are still a few fish that slipped through the net.
Just when the commanders and fighters at all levels of the navy were stunned and horrified, the 70 Valkyrie frigates were divided into 6 teams and rushed towards the wailing warship dock.
The speed of the Corruptor is relatively slow. There is a certain distance from the area near the "Morning Star" to the battleship dock, which is enough for the frigates and destroyer-class battleships of the Mar fleet to leave the port for formation. At least it can form a combat force before more than 100 Corruptors approach.
Sadly, Domino only cared about countermeasures against biological battleships the size of Corruptors and Mutalisks. Those explosive mosquitoes with a body length of only about 2 meters were completely ignored.
He thought that the close-in defense system of the battleship could easily kill these little bugs, so he took a step back. Even if some fish were caught, the teeth on the inside of their circular mouths would at most make captains at all levels feel annoyed, and they would not be able to cause strong damage.
Mr. Lieutenant General's observation skills are very keen. When others were still marveling at the 110 Heretic-class fast assault ships being flooded by silver light, he had already noticed those little things.
The small body of more than 2 meters is so small in a naval battle, obviously it will not spit out deadly acid like the Corruptor. According to his speculation, this may be a parasite-like thing that can be attached to the battleship to detect sensors and radar antennas. , External turrets and other key equipment were destroyed.
The sharp teeth on the inside of their mouths also seem to bear this out.
Domino's thinking is very logical, but unfortunately the ability of the Zerg unit is not logical.
So, seeing the scene below, he blushed a little, and a bitter taste flooded his mouth.
The speed of the Explosive Mosquito is much faster than that of the Corruptor, and even faster than that of the Mutalisk. The close-in defense system of the battleship is difficult to hit the target.
After a while, the flames from inside the hull illuminated the void. Starting from the hole made by the explosive mosquito, the long and narrow hulls of the three Retribution Knight destroyers were torn apart by the implosion, split into two, and flew all the way to the In the military port, the signal lights and nearby radar stations were smashed to pieces.
The 80 Explosive Mosquitoes continued to move forward, like a whirlwind of death, howling everywhere they passed, and the screen was full of flashes of battleships bursting into flames.
A holy knight-class light cruiser was knocked out by 12 explosive mosquitoes along the center of the battleship, and the explosion spread to the left and right along the keel, and the flames engulfed everything along the way. funeral objects.
There was no sound in the command hall, only the slight shock caused by the shock wave produced by the local explosion, and the flashes on the big screen, making people understand that those were not dreams, but unacceptable facts.
These little things are simply biological missiles with independent minds!
Missiles are consumables and can be replenished.
Explosive mosquitoes can also be replenished!
When another 100 explosive mosquitoes flew out from the lower left of the "Morning Star" and the intelligence officer transferred the scanning results to the big screen, Domino's short and thin body shivered.
This is the first time Tang Fang has used Explosive Mosquitoes at any cost. 100 Explosive Mosquitoes can replace more than 20 naval warships in a very short period of time and disrupt the opponent's fleet attack formation.
More than 700 warships of the Mar fleet are moored at the warship dock, and 200 explosive mosquitoes will be the first to leave the berth. The more than 50 warships that were used to delay the time broke up, and the Corruptors drove straight in, resisting the rain of light splashed by the close-in artillery system, spraying balls of parasitic spores on the warships that were slowly leaving the port on the berth.
The magnetic rail projectile hit them, and the flesh and blood flew in an instant. Fluid.
In just two or three breaths, the surging tissue cells will push the bullet out of the body and return to its original state.
The coming and going battles did not last long, and the addition of 70 Valkyrie frigates completely overturned the war situation at the battleship dock.
The indiscriminate firing of the missile system plunged most of the warship docks into a sea of flames, large and small explosions swept across the entire airspace like a hurricane, and a large number of fragments and gunpowder smoke spread towards the surroundings.
Silver shimmer overshadows 'Georgia'. Some large ships exploded, and the shock waves produced tore through the main structure of the dock, and the building wreckage measured in kilometers separated from the main body of the dock, rolling away into the deep space with surging flames and cloud-like gunpowder smoke.
One after another, disabled warships followed behind them. Slowly sinking into the dark deep space.
The powerful fighting power displayed by the established Valkyrie frigate stunned everyone on the "Morning Star"...including Captain Tang himself.
In the official story of StarCraft, the Valkyrie frigate is mostly used as an auxiliary combat force of the battlecruiser to enter the battlefield, or to escort the colony ship to the target star field. It is rare to fight alone, and there is no organization consisting solely of Valkyrie frigates. Troops, firstly, Valkyrie frigates are expensive, and their uses are not as extensive as mobile fortresses like battlecruisers, and secondly, the opponent of human beings is the Zerg Air Force. In the face of flying units such as flying dragons, blasters, and devourers, Valkyrie frigates are far less useful than small and medium-sized aerospace fighters such as Viking fighters and Wraith fighters. Only in some large-scale battles will the Valkyrie frigate have amazing "performances".
Until Captain Tang crazily abolished the low combat power and low consumption army today. Free up the population to manufacture 70 Valkyrie frigates, and put them all into the battlefield, only to realize how frightening an invincible fleet this expensive guided missile frigate is after it is established.
As we all know, when the human warship system is deeply influenced by the Ypsilon civilization, most fleet-level wars are long-range bombardments. From small and medium railguns to large railguns. Even classic howitzers and rapid-fire guns tend to be precise strikes in terms of attack routes. rather than global coverage.
In such an environment, the development of high-precision electromagnetic weapons, fire control radars, auxiliary jet systems and magnetic shields is relatively fast, while the development of missiles, flying mines, and large and medium-caliber short-range weapons is relatively slow.
Time has advanced to the present, with the vigorous development of formation science, technology, and technology, it has gradually replaced high-precision electromagnetic weapons, fire control radars, auxiliary jet systems, and magnetic shields in the field of military technology and has become a new leader.
The result of this is that the dominance of electromagnetic weapons in fleet-level confrontations and large-scale battles is gradually being shaken, losing their original dazzling brilliance.
The main problem lies in the hit rate. Because of the vigorous development of these countermeasure technologies that came into being, the shooting accuracy of weapons such as electromagnetic guns, rail guns, coil guns, and reconnection guns has dropped significantly, marking the beginning of the decline of electromagnetic weapons.
In recent years, the issue of developing more accurate and practical high-energy lasers, plasma cannons, particle cannons and other energy weapons to replace electromagnetic weapons has been accepted by the leadership of sovereign countries and put on the agenda. Therefore, as an elite force in the hands of great nobles and powerful forces, they began to install energy weapons.
Even so, fleet-level warfare still follows the combat style of the era when electromagnetic guns were king, and there will not be much change in a short period of time.
The mid-range and short-range saturation bombing combat method of the Valkyrie frigate is completely different from the above situation. After all, the opponents of the human race in StarCraft are the Zerg races known for their outstanding numbers and melee combat abilities.
As a result, no matter if it was a frigate of the same level, or a destroyer, cruiser, or even a battleship, when facing the unconventional Valkyrie frigate, they seemed restrained and clumsy.
Because the role of the frigate in Captain Tang's hand is not a battleship, but a fighter! bomber!
To be precise, he was equipped with a frigate-level combat aircraft, but he was using the attack method of a cluster of aerospace fighters.
However, their speed is extremely fast, their armor is unbelievably thick, and their weapons are many "Pegasus Meteor Fists".
The Mar fleet was very unlucky, and Domino was very unlucky, and became the object of sacrifice for the first expedition of the Valkyrie frigate.
The situation at the battleship dock is not good, and the situation of the main body of the military port is also not very good, because the "Morning Star" came directly to the military port, and the swarm of corrupters is very close to the target.
150 Corruptors had already entered the battle before the blaster mosquitoes launched an attack on the vanguard ships of the Marr fleet.
Seen from a distance, Sudan Lun Naval Port looks like a huge wild boar with bristles of steel bristles and sharp fangs. Out of the spurts of light and fire.
The primary target of the large plasma cannons and railguns was the Morningstar, and the rapid and twin cannons sent blood and scales flying from the Corruptor.
The surface of the aurora shield of the "Morning Star" rippled, and the colors flickered and accelerated. It was really unable to compete with the military port-level defense force. It could only activate the anti-matter auxiliary thrusters and accelerate to leave the airspace.
This state didn't last long, and 150 Corruptors detonated the large fort in Jiangjun Port, at the cost of 44 Corruptors being buried on the battlefield. The battle damage when confronting the Mubarak garrison fleet was no more than that. One can imagine how strong the defense of the Sultan Lun Naval Port is.
"Morning Star" left the airspace of the military port, retreated to the area where the space-based defense platform was located, and cooperated with more than 50 devourers and flying dragons to clear the space-based defense platform.
Because the unmanned space-based defense platform defected in the battle of "Aradelle", at the same time as the "Morning Star" and the swarm of biological battleships appeared, Domino immediately ordered the front-line defense zone command to paralyze the unmanned space-based defense platform. The basic defense platform, at this time, is mainly manned defense facilities that are put into the battlefield.
They are generally very powerful, but the disadvantage is that they are bulky and have low sensitivity.
The Devourer and Flying Dragon, as the air units known for their swiftness among the Zerg units, have an overwhelming advantage in the face of cannons. Relying on the command system of detector-star track command center-Tang Fang, large turrets cannot lock their weapons at all. Only some small laser cannon arrays can lock them by relying on motion and optical sensors combined with the firing angle correction program of the latest fire control radar. (to be continued)
