2526, the first Battle of Bonta (Part 2)

This sudden shock wave caught the Galaxy Empire fighter pilots who were accelerating and preparing to drop bombs off guard and were shot down hundreds of them in an instant!

Whether it is the ordinary TIE/LN light fighter or the latest TIE Interceptor fighter, they are all shot down without any difference!

The explosion of hundreds of fighter jets instantly lit up the battlefield and then went out instantly. The flammable substances in the tiny volume of the fighter jet can only support the burning for a moment.

The extremely surprised Galaxy Empire fighter pilot had to quickly distance himself and did not dare to get too close.

However, once the distance is widened, the near-defense firepower network of the Dawn Kingdom warship immediately becomes fatal! In the process, dozens of Galaxy Empire fighters were shot down.

Normally, the tactic of a fighter formation to attack enemy battleships should be to quickly break through the air defense barrage and approach the enemy warships, and then perform high-speed and large-scale excitement, so that the main ship's anti-aircraft turret cannot keep up with the fighter's maneuvering angle, and thus cannot hit it. This is the so-called "speed resistance". As long as the speed is fast enough and others cannot hit you, you will be resistant.

Now, this full-range explosion shock makes the fighter plane dare not approach the warships of the Dawn Kingdom. However, once the distance is opened, the fighter plane is within the best shooting distance of close-defense artillery fire, which is also the result of being massacred.

But what if we continue to fire proton torpedoes from a long distance? Then the proton torpedo will be easily intercepted and the fighter will be useless.

You should know that the main reason why fighter jets can exist on the interstellar battlefield is to be a firepower projection platform that can be reused and has higher penetration efficiency. In other words, missiles with penetration capabilities such as fighter jets will definitely be extremely expensive and are one-time, so there are fighters.

Fighters can constantly look for opportunities and then attack from weak defenses, which is something that missiles cannot do. At the same time, fighters can also fire proton torpedoes at very close distances, so that proton torpedoes will not be intercepted by near-defense artillery fire.

But now, these functions no longer exist!

Explosive shock waves were constantly being fired around the warships in the Dawn Kingdom, causing every inch of space within a distance of more than ten kilometers around the warships to be attacked. Fighters did not dare to get close at all.

The fighter pilots of the Galaxy Empire then understood why even if they were easily defeated in air combat, the fighter jets of the Dawn Kingdom just fled in all directions, but did not run to the vicinity of the main battleship to seek cover.

There was no way, and the fighter formation of the Galaxy Empire also discovered that among the Dawn Kingdom's warships, the Generosity, Disobedo, and Rukrihook class, did not launch such full-domain shock waves. They finally had targets of attack and began to attack the old warships.

But this deviates from the most important task assigned to them by Adal Talon - sinking or disturbing the Typhoon-class battlecruiser!

And at this time, General Griffles had already seized the fleeting fighter plane. He issued an order and the entire army immediately turned to concentrate on attacking the high-speed light cruiser formation of the Galaxy Empire!

According to the vision of Adar Talon, his fighter formation could entangle the Typhoon-class battlecruiser, so that he could lead the main battleship formation to siege the Destruction battleship. At the same time, with the entanglement of the fighter formation, the light cruisers he sent could further disrupt the formation of the Dawn Kingdom fleet, and even seize the opportunity to sink several Typhoon-class ships.

In this way, the Destruction will inevitably fall into siege, and the fleet of the Dawn Kingdom has to return to the Destruction. Therefore, he can force the other party to engage in a decisive battle with himself in a frontal fleet.

In that situation, even if the other party has shield-penetrating missiles, he will definitely not be the opponent of the imperial-level star destroyer with the advantage in the head-on battle!

But now, the fighter formations equipped with TIE Interceptor fighter jets are simply unable to even get close to Typhoon-class battlecruisers. Instead, the Imperial fighter jets are entangled with those backward warships. You must know that a few more and fewer warships like the Generosity and Disobedience class have no impact on the battle situation at all!

The fighter formation did not retreat, so the high-speed assault formation of the light cruiser rushed up as planned.

However, these light cruisers are facing no harassed by fighters at all. They are in good condition. The new battleships of the Dawn Kingdom are in good condition! The combat capabilities of these warships are not comparable to those of the Aquitense-class light cruisers and the Carac-class light cruisers.

What's more, there are also a large number of light cruisers in the formation of the Dawn Kingdom!

The logger-class heavy frigates, Rift-class destroyers, Storm-class light cruisers, these small and medium-sized warships rushed towards the light cruiser formation of the Galaxy Empire like a pack of wolves under the cover of the main battleship!

At this time, the main ship led by Adal Talon was still hesitating in front of the battleship of the USS Doom. Because just now, the battleship of the USS Doom completed charging again and fired the huge star destroyer at the bow! Two more Empire-class star destroyers were destroyed, which made them even more afraid to move forward.

"Bastard! Retreat!!" Adal Talon roared loudly, "Let the high-speed light cruiser formation and fighter formation be retreated to me!"

However, his order was one step later. At this moment, his light cruiser formation had already fired with the fleet of the Dawn Kingdom. The scene was tragic!

What surprised the Empire Fleet was that the frigates and cruisers equipped by the Dawn Kingdom were all extremely fast! The super high maneuverability made them look like a pack of wolves, and once they were bitten, they could not escape at all!

Adal Talon quickly ordered the main battleship formation to approach the light cruiser formation as soon as possible to cover their retreat. However, the battleship of the Dooms chased after it again like a candy. Not only that, the super battleship launched a high-energy directional electromagnetic pulse again, paralyzing more than a dozen imperial fleet warships.

In this chaos, Adal Talon's light cruiser formation suffered heavy losses, and more than 400 light cruisers were severely damaged or destroyed.

Finally, General Griffles did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but stopped when he saw the opportunity and led the fleet to retreat.

Adal Talon didn't dare to pursue him at all. It was not that his strength was insufficient, but that his fleet organization had been completely disrupted, and the morale of officers and soldiers at all levels was reduced to the bottom, and he could not launch an attack at all.

He could only recover his fleet, rely on the defense facilities of the planet Bata to defend, and rest and rectify damaged warships.

A brief count, during this encounter, the main fleet of the 12th Army of the Galaxy Empire lost 16 imperial-class star destroyers, 19 Victory II-class star destroyers, and more than 560 light cruisers and frigates of various types! More than 400 fighter jets and bombers of various types!

In contrast, although the 14 main ships of the Dawn Kingdom fleet were also destroyed, those were generous-class frigates and disobeder-class destroyers, which could only be regarded as cannon fodder for making up the numbers, were not considered a result of the battle.

They could only watch General Griffles lead the fleet after a long period of hyperspace calculations, and the engine was activated and left the battlefield with the interference of the hyperspace jammer.
