Chapter 531 Justice-class Cruiser (Part 2)



Currently, the more than 200 ships of the Third Assault Fleet are flying out of the spaceport.

There are not many Rangers at present, and there are only five cruiser guns that carry Rangers.

The other five ships are all equipped with space fighters.

Compared with mechas, the combat effectiveness of space fighters is certainly inferior, but they are more numerous and can also burst out very powerful force.

Each space fighter can be regarded as a weapon with a thin skin and a large core. The firepower of the carrier-based aircraft is mainly an energy cannon with a caliber slightly smaller than that of the frigate-level main gun, usually a laser cannon.

At the same time, there is a small-caliber laser cannon at the nose of the fighter, which is used for space combat between carrier-based aircraft.

Space carrier-based aircraft also have two modes. One is to attack enemy ships. This mode usually carries space torpedoes, and most of this is done by unmanned wingman.

They will get close to the enemy's ships and release these space torpedoes at close range. The space torpedoes have a fast initial velocity, but their speed will decrease after getting close. They can almost avoid the void shield and directly attack the target ship's armor and hull.

This kind of damage to the target ship is also astonishingly large.

The other type is a purely combat-type space fighter, which is generally driven by pilots. They abandon the heavy carrier-based aircraft main guns and choose more small and medium-sized laser cannons, as well as small guided missiles.

Their role is to intercept enemy carrier-based aircraft and blow them up at medium range.

The unmanned loyal wingman, under the control of the rear-seat pilot of the two-seat combat carrier-based aircraft, will penetrate the torn defense line and get close to the enemy warship to launch an attack.

Carrier-based aircraft with pilots can serve as a defensive force, establishing a space defense line at the mid-range position of the fleet, and can also serve as an assault force.

Lead your wingmen to tear through the enemy's defenses and let them attack the enemy's warships.

There are no void shields on carrier-based aircraft, but they are all equipped with small plasma shields that can withstand many attacks.

Although unmanned wingman aircraft are expensive, the pilots of carrier-based aircraft are not cheap either. Every cruiser has a stock of unmanned wingman aircraft in its warehouse.

Generally, when the shield of the fighter plane is insufficient or the wingman is damaged, the pilots of carrier-based aircraft will return to base, repair themselves and then set off again with the wingman.

A cruiser, manned fighter jets, and unmanned wingmen can dispatch a fleet of 120 carrier-based aircraft at a time.

This is a very powerful force.

On the planet Walker,

Some diplomatic staff began to contact the embassy of the Yalu Alliance:

"Our Third Assault Fleet is preparing to conduct routine military exercises. I wonder if you'd be interested in observing them?"

Upon hearing this, the Yaru Alliance ambassador quickly agreed.

"Please give us this opportunity!"

The staff member said, "Okay, we'll send a ship to pick up your team later."

After hanging up the call, the ambassador excitedly said to his Yaru deputy, "This is a good opportunity. We can get a clearer understanding of the strength of the Galactic Kingdom's fleet!"

"General Sack Ao Zhua once conducted exercises and exchanges with the enemy's patrol fleet, but the patrol fleet is not the main fleet of this civilization after all."

Ambassador Yalu said to the embassy military attaché beside him, "This time, you must watch carefully and analyze the opponent's strength carefully!"

The military officer beside him responded solemnly: "Yes, sir, I will definitely observe carefully!"

Soon, a small shuttle arrived at the location of the embassy and took the envoys of the Yaru Alliance into space.

After arriving in space, they boarded a civilian spacecraft.

In the huge cabin, there are transparent portholes on both sides, and the bow is an excellent viewing position.

There are already quite a few humans here, and they are some of the senior managers on the human side.

They came to observe the heroic performance of the Third Assault Fleet, especially the newly built cruisers.

Not long after the Yaru ambassador entered the viewing position, the exercise officially began.

More than two hundred large and small ships sailed from the starport to the designated location for the exercise and looked at the huge warship.

Especially the ten cruisers, the ambassadors and military attachés of the Yaru tribe all looked at each other.

They all saw from each other's compound eyes the shock they felt towards this type of ship.

Originally, they were not very clear about the strength of this human galactic kingdom.

Although there are many small and medium-sized ships with good combat capabilities, no large ships have ever been seen.

This kind of military construction is somewhat deformed for a civilization.

They also once wondered whether this civilization did not have large ships.

But thinking about the corner seen in the space dock, this guess became uncertain.

Now, when the large ships of the Galaxy Defense really came out, they finally felt relieved.

The military officer whispered in the language of the Yaru people, "It seems that this galaxy they conquered is now receiving more attention!"

"In the past, this galaxy's fleets have had large ships, but still no battleships?"

The ambassador also nodded slightly.

The two of them didn't dare to talk too much about this.

After all, this is human territory, and we are talking about human military ships. Isn't this courting death?

Even if they are ambassadors, they cannot do such things.

The Yaru ambassador continued to look at the fleet that was constantly changing its formation.

When it comes to space combat, especially fleet combat, there are various tactics in human society.

Although Li Xin has traveled through time, he has lost the support of resources and warships.

But the information on these fleet battles is still child's play and has been read long ago.

For battles between fleets, a tight formation is definitely more suitable than a loose battle.

In the past, the human fleet did not have large warships, so when fighting, they could only rely on destroyers as the core.

It is completely different now. Now we have large warships, so when fighting, we will of course rely on large warships to deploy troops.

Each cruiser is currently the core of the protection of destroyers and frigates.

If you think about it, each cruiser under the Third Assault Fleet can be regarded as the core unit of a squadron.

Normally, for the Seventh Wave in the blueprint, the core ship of this squadron should at least be a battleship.

However, Li Xin's financial resources were too limited at the moment, so he could only use cruisers.
