Chapter Thirteen: Life and Death
The endless sea of stars, the battle is in progress, but in terms of the scene, it is not as "magnificent and fierce".
The descriptions and atmosphere of the fierce showdown of ships in those literary works that make people long for the fierce showdown and the setting of the atmosphere did not appear on the real battlefield. They are even very different.
After Hanfole's formation charged forward to pursue the submarines, they lost their traces.
The thirteen submarines seemed to have never appeared before and evaporated out of thin air.
Even if you re-engineer the same trick as before, the magnetic detection deep space bomb will have no effect due to the narrow impact. In this case, from a tactical perspective, firing out all magnetic detection bombs in the formation is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is a huge waste, and may even be unable to prevent sudden changes.
To be honest, if you can find the detectors of the Xipang people from clues like Hanfole and finally find this group of space fleets, it is already a result of your luck. If you want to find the hidden submarine again, the probability has changed from luxury to slim.
From now on, they have become blindfolded people, and the other party is holding a dagger in his hand, staring at him.
Fighting with space submarines is extremely dangerous. Although space submarines have the weakest armor of almost all spacecraft, they have extraordinary concealment and maneuverability.
It can be said that in space, their maneuverability is only inferior to that of fighter jets. The key is that the combat radius of space fighter jets is generally 100,000 kilometers, and it is impossible to launch attacks from hundreds of thousands of kilometers or even further.
The space submarines of the Xipang people are a brilliant mark in the history of the universe and can also be said to be their "unique weapon". Many countries in the Star Covenant are pursuing space submarine technology, but no country can achieve such profound and thorough achievements in this field as the Xipang people have in this field.
And all this is because of the "mirage" technology of the Xipang people.
This system is the pillar supporting the fierceness of space submarines. Once the Mirage system is turned on, the system will cover their submarines with a unique D-shaped energy wave. This energy wave is similar to a neutralizing energy shield, but it is not intended to protect energy weapons. It also has the ability to absorb light sources and heat sources emitted by the ship's own engine when it has the shielding effect on detection waves.
In the universe, light sources and heat sources are the easiest to detect and are important factors in the objective identification of objects. Once these two extremely important parameters are greatly weakened, in the vast space, submarines almost realize true "invisibility".
The Xipang people are still working hard to put this technology into the mecha. Although the engine performance required by this system must be very excellent, and it has a time limit for use, and when it is turned on, it is very fragile because it replaces the energy cover. However, it does not affect its better practical performance compared to these negative effects. If it sneaks into assassination, this application will be very effective.
It is said that the space torpedoes of the Xipang people are now supported by this technology. After launching, they are invisible and cannot be defended. The Eagle Country supply line was ravaged by the Xipang space submarine. This is not a coincidence, but a real gap.

"Magnetic detective bomb, R40, G65, H73, K28, four directions, launch!"
"B21, U334, P35, launch!"
"L89, B40, launch!"
"There is a heat source reaction! Discover torpedoes! Alarm! Avoid!" With the sudden warning of the two destroyers on the second line of defense in the middle of the formation, two fireballs suddenly shot out in front of the two destroyers, which were originally empty in space.
The fireball hit the hulls of the two destroyers one after another. The moment the outer layers of the two warships were chiseled through, everyone saw the impact force that could not be reduced was carried out in the second wave of explosions inside the hull. One of the warships was shot at the tail, but then the armor and structures in the middle section of the ship suddenly bulged outwards, and then the warships made of steel bulged everywhere like cysts, accompanied by consecutive explosions and disintegrations in stages.
When we watched the two destroyers disintegrated by two space torpedoes in less than two minutes, a total of 230 officers and soldiers died without any time to rescue them, everyone felt an indescribable tragic and frustration.
"The Deer and Morning Light were destroyed! The source of the torpedo is unimaginable! The 16th formation cluster scan...the enemy is nowhere to be seen!"
Faced with the urgent reward, Han Fole was very quiet. Now the entire formation did not have time to express sadness to the comrades of the two warships, but this does not mean that each of them was not in a heavy mood, because they didn't know if they would come to the footsteps next?
The enemy came to Hanfole's flagship, but now the entire formation is doing roller movements. The surrounding assault ships and destroyers all move in three-dimensional circular motions around Hanfole's flagship to resist attacks that may come from any side. This is the real warship and sergeant crew as flesh shields.
"The stealth system installed by the enemy on the torpedo should have a time limit, or the torpedo reaches a certain speed, or it will appear within a period of time after launch!"
The destruction of the Deer and Morning Light is not meaningless. At least from the moment of the fight, Hanfolei keenly discovered the exposed problems. However, this military wizard, who is the first young and strong general in the space war, also discovered the most difficult aspects at present. "To deal with this torpedo attack, we can only distance ourselves so that we can predict the position of the torpedo to win the time to avoid it, but we do not have such time and opportunity."
"The formation's 17th directional cluster scan...the enemy's traces were gone!" The fleet's comprehensive notification sounded from time to time in such situations that seemed to happen unexpectedly at any moment.
"Continue to fire the magnetic detective bomb!"
"There are not much magnetic bomb stock..."
"Don't worry, launch!"
The stealth state after the space torpedo launch is limited by time. This is a simple tactical topic. All they need is to retreat as much as possible to distance themselves from the enemy submarine formation, so that the space torpedoes are exposed prematurely, thus making it possible to evade or defend against torpedoes. But the problem is that if they retreat, the enemy will follow the flow and take advantage of the invisible evacuation of the battlefield and not fight with them. Their plan to entangle the other side to wait for reinforcements to arrive will be declared bankrupt.
"This is a very tactical commander. When he found that we appeared on this channel's abnormal movement, he judged that we might have a greater purpose, so he would leave us here at all costs." In the submarine, Cao Shidao observed the battlefield through the detection channel of the "Mirage" system, "But I wonder if he had thought that his actions might ruin his formation!"
The voice of a submarine captain who kept 10,000 kilometers away from Cao Shidao revealed his coldness, "Eagle people, such a shepherd dog formation escorting a merchant ship, for us, it is not enough to even put a gap between our teeth, and we should not be willing to die!"
The captain of the submarine who had just launched a torpedo to destroy the Deer on the right smiled slightly, "The Imperial submarine troops that were interspersed back and forth on their supply lines will tighten the necks of the Eagle people like ropes! Now facing the most elite space force in the Empire that is beyond their reach, these Eagle soldiers can be considered dead to the point of death, which is not too unfair!"
For the submarine force led by Cao Shidao that lurks deep into the southeastern hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom, every space torpedo is extremely precious.
After another loading, the thirteen submarines used six to lure the enemy, but also to gain cooldown for the "Mirage" system that could only last for a period of time. The other seven were responsible for the main attack mission. After two rounds of volleys, except for the unexpected appearance of a space torpedo hitting the appearance powder fired by the Hanfole formation in the surrounding airspace, almost no torpedo fell out.
Three assault ships and five destroyers in the Hanfole formation exploded one after another. In just a short period of time, the lives of 850 people were destroyed with the warships.
"According to the practice of carrying six torpedoes on average, according to the number of enemy submarines, the amount of torpedoes they equipped is more than enough to destroy our formation!"
The deputy official Xing's voice was a little frightened, as if the god of death was holding a sickle in his hand, waiting in front of them for them to be killed.
Death is pressing in a hurry.
The most priority to torpedoes are Hanfoley's cruiser, but they also know that the formation will protect the flagship at all costs, so Xipang's space submarine simply follows Hanfoley's flagship to release the torpedo, and they are always tricky to the interception route of their own warships.
The "Mirage" system has a continuous and cooldown time. If you deploy it with all your strength, it can only last for a few dozen minutes. After that, it will fall into the same cooling time. In order to have spare energy in combat and not have the opportunity to escape because the cooling submarine of the system has no chance to escape, space submarines generally perform the "May Day Rule" of showing off one minute cooling, which will maximize the submarine's combat endurance.
Some submarines use the short time they appear to clearly reveal the attack location, which forces the formation's frigates to be on high alert. However, when faced with the sudden outbreak of torpedoes, they can only use their hull to withstand attacks and protect the flagship.
A ray of light burst out violently on the side of the "Crusade" that was sweeping across the Hanfole flagship, like a small sun rising.
The side hull of the warship was torn apart, splashing out countless sparks of particles made of melted metal.
The warship flipped uncontrollably, and the flat bridge and the bottom of the ship were adjusted, showing the impact of the torpedo just now.
The "Crusade" was a heroic warship in the Battle of Sunset Gorge. The warship thickened its armor according to the style of Hanfole's right-hand arm, Xindesi, and made many reinforcements. Xindesi even told Hanfole that if Zhang Shuren's "Changwei" was his sword guard, and he was a warrior holding a shield and serpentine. The Crusade could give him the safety of an aircraft carrier fortress.
But often the space torpedoes of the Xipang people are mainly large ammunition departments. In order to ensure that the weak armor is very deadly once exposed, the submarines can have the ability to destroy the powerful armored space fleet, the Xipang people are very good at torpedoes. In addition to the miniature "mirage" technology that ensures the hit rate, the high-explosion armor-piercing of the first-level warhead and the "annihilation" bomb of the second-level warhead can cause fatal damage to the warships from the inside.
It seemed that Sindsi's ship looked really armored. The submarine that fired a torpedo at him seemed to be worried that the warship would not be able to die. At zero, the ship turned toward the rear, and the stern at the tail followed and a torpedo was fired.
The second torpedo exploded one after another.
Seeing Xindesi's car rolling up, and seeing the inside burning like a stove from the glass porthole, Hanfolei ordered the flagship to rudder right, this action made him escape from the irregular circular motion and fell straight towards the right direction, like a flying bird flying under the cliff.
However, such a move was somewhat unexpected to the people of Xipang. It was not the antelope hanging on the horns of Hanfole's command art, but rather a trick. His actions turned him from irregular continuous movement to a vernier state that could be traced. If there was no surprise next, the submarines controlled by the elite space soldiers in Xipang could accurately shoot the space torpedoes to the next location he was about to arrive.
Sure enough, three sharks moved when they smelled the fishy smell. The other submarines did not have time to react, but smelled something or their professional vigilance made them temporarily take action.
"The first four, four or five directions, torpedo traces!"
Fang Xing shouted.
From the capture optical telescope, everyone saw that in the distant universe, several shiny objects were moving at high speed, dragging out lines and coming towards them.
The commanders of the Xipon submarine who launched the torpedo were all shocked. How could their torpedoes have stealth systems, so how could they leave such obvious traces?
Realizing that the wrong thing, the captains of the three submarines in Xipon immediately ordered an emergency evasion, but it was too late.
Since the beginning of the battle, the Hanfo Lei bandage has spread magnetic particles nearby, and magnetic detective bombs have been scattering and firing in this combat area. However, because the battlefield was too large and the particle concentration was too low, it did not work at all. However, the Hanfo Lei still ordered the dispersion of the particles in the formation not to stop. No one had known the profound meaning of the Hanfo Lei before.
And now, they finally understood that since the beginning of the battle, Hanfolei had made precautions and preparations for the passive situation of being trapped in the enemy's hunting circle.
Because of the continuous launch of magnetic detective bombs, many magnetic fog with a high concentration appeared in space. When the Hanfoth thunder sold its flaws and the torpedo flew over these fog balls and came towards him, the "mirage" system would no longer work.
The terrifying thing about space torpedoes is their concealment.
Once it appeared, it was immediately destroyed by the Hanfole flagship defense barrage with strong near-defense firepower. At the same time, Hanfole made a quick decision to order the formation, "Attachment of 89770, the entire ship fired volley!"
Because the three torpedo flight trajectories exposed the launching direction of the Xipang submarine immediately encountered a sudden disaster. The formation's rage beam of fury instantly caught several submarines. Under the energy beam of the main gun, the submarine that turned on the stealth system without any energy shield was immediately penetrated by the beam. In addition to the three submarines that had just launched the torpedo initiator, there was another fish that was affected and suffered a disaster.
