Hidden Yao Era

The

destroyer of the Eternal Heavy Artillery to which the Silver Cockroach belongs has an excellent ability to evade enemy artillery and torpedoes, but she is still a little powerless in the face of missiles with a high hit rate.

The "Silver Cockroach" dodged eight missiles in succession, but was still hit by one missile, and the hull shook violently. Casto glanced at the battleship's damaged monitoring screen, and he was taken aback.

This missile directly reduced the durability of one of the ship's main armor by 20%. This is clearly not an ordinary anti-aircraft missile, but a powerful anti-ship missile.

Soon, Castor's other friendly ships were shot, and the Pluto Rover's fleet was also in full swing, with dozens of frigates and destroyers directly destroyed.

Castor asked the commander, Major General Lane, to scout the area and find out who was responsible for the launch of the anti-ship missile. Rear Admiral Ryan said with a straight face: "I had already warned before entering the atmosphere, those are the heavy anti-ship mechs of the Eagle Wing Guard. We should deal with the enemy fleet first, and leave those mechs alone. "

Castor disagreed, saying, "These mechs are vulnerable, but the missiles they launch are a great threat to us. We are now facing a fleet of low quality, their artillery will not do us much damage, we ......" Castle had not finished speaking, and Rear Admiral Lane interrupted him.

"Our first target should be the fleet! Although their fleet is small, it is a great threat to us, these mechs on the ground are all ants, we can kill them as soon as we finish the fleet!" Rear Admiral Ryan still stubbornly launched an attack on the fleet.

Rear Admiral Lane was probably right in his decision, the enemy had not many warships. This time, the third detachment brought more than 300 destroyers of various types, while the number of enemy warships was only one-third of this detachment.

But the situation soon changed, and a number of battleships gradually appeared in the sky, and they were constantly firing at the third detachment. More stealth warships appeared, and there were fifty or sixty of them.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Rear Admiral Ryan hurriedly issued an order to Castor: "Lieutenant Colonel Castor, I order you to lead 10 destroyers of the Eternal Star to destroy the enemy's anti-ship mechs on the ground. The formation has been sent to your control screen, be fast!".

Immediately after receiving the order, Casto led the 10 Avatar-class destroyers to rush to the enemy mech position on the Sabey Heights.

When he arrived, Casto found that the place had been prepared for a long time, with thousands of mechs raining down dense anti-aircraft missiles at them. Before the missile was launched, Castor reminded the captains to intercept enemy missiles with artillery barrages, and the guns of the 11 destroyers formed an interception network to intercept most of these missiles.

Castor knew that the mechs might launch more powerful anti-ship missiles in the future, so he first ordered the rest of the ships to aim their guns at the anti-ship mechs. The shells exploded near the nearly 1,000 mechs, and the flames and dust dissipated, leaving less than 100 mechs alive.

They fired another wave of anti-ship missiles at the enemy as if venting their anger, but this time Casto had already prepared, and the cooling of the artillery interception system had been completed, and this wave of missiles was intercepted again. Castor then ordered the ships to use small-caliber guns to kill the mechs, and finally wiped out all of them.

But just then, a blinding beam of light came from the ground, nearly hitting Casto's ship.

Then there were more and more beams, and the source of the beams became apparent. It was the elite mecha developed by the "Eagle Wings" 30 years ago - the Cyclops I ion cannon giant mecha. This bipedal mecha is equipped with a large-caliber ion cannon and the fuselage is covered with high-strength ceramic armor, which has been used as a weapon for the army in the Eagle Wings Guard's campaign for decades.

Casto ordered friendly ships to dodge the enemy's ion beams, and the mobility of the Eri came in handy, and after the first round of attacks, most of the Eri destroyers dodged the enemy's next attack.

But two destroyers were still destroyed, and they disintegrated and fell to the surface of Mars.

Seeing that the ion beams of the enemy mechs were still cooling, Casto ordered his team to attack the ground and bombard.

The

guns of the 9 destroyers of the Eternal God class bombarded the mechs intensively. After a burst of heavy artillery fire, all these mechs were annihilated.

Castor didn't dare to fight, so he asked his teammates to scan the battlefield with high-frequency radar and make sure there were no more heavy mechs, and then set out to support the fleet.

Castor made a point of paying attention to the survival of the fleet as he returned home. The third formation has already had 109 ships destroyed, while the enemy has suffered heavy battle losses, with nearly 200 ships already destroyed or withdrawn from the battle. Obviously, the fighting between the two sides was fierce.

When Casto returned to the battlefield, the battle was still a bit more than he had imagined. Some warships in the air disintegrated in the flames, others were blown to pieces, and falling flames and wreckage were scattered all over Mars.

Castor did not hesitate, he led his squad to the rear of the enemy ship. Artillery hit enemy ships one after another, and the offensive of the enemy fleet gradually collapsed. Seeing that they could not win, they quickly turned and walked away.

After the battle, Castor looked around, and half of the ships of the third formation had been destroyed or withdrawn from the battle.

"The enemy's ground offensive has been thwarted by us, and they are retreating! We have completed our mission! Return immediately!" said Major General Lane.

But at this time, Castor saw the direction of the Mariner Valley in the holographic map, and he saw that there seemed to be a fleet fighting in the distance.

He asked Rear Admiral Lane: "The battle in the direction of the Mariner Valley is not over yet?"

"yes, it's not over yet, it's a mess over there. It is said that our fleet was attacked by the Celestial Voices after almost destroying the heavy equipment of the Xinyin Sect, and suffered heavy losses. It's still fighting over there, and it's said that those people from the Tianyin faction are crazy, and they even beat their own people. Major General Lane said.

"I'm asking for help. Casto said.

"What? Are you crazy? It's a mess there, you're going to get shot down there. Major General Lane said.

"I know, but I'm needed there!" Casto insisted.

"No! We must go back in formation! Otherwise, I won't be able to make a deal!" Major General Lane was also very tough.

"Then I'll go to my superiors for instructions!" Casto said.

"Fuck you! fuck off! Die alone!" scolded Major General Lane.

Castor didn't say much either. He turned to the other crew and said, "We will go to support our brethren who are fighting hard near the Mariner's Valley, we have no backup, only our ship. However, from the Battle of Mars to the present, we have repeatedly made meritorious achievements, and in the frenzy of war, we have survived. "

"It is our common belief that allows us to survive this brutal war, please continue to trust me, trust your spirit, and believe that you can survive this war. Friendly forces in the Mariner Valley and near the Ionian Plateau have suffered heavy losses, they are in dire need of our support, and now we are their only hope, and I am confident that we can take on such a mission!"

When Casto had finished speaking, all the crew shouted, "Yes, sir!"

After so many battles, they have adapted to Casto, a somewhat crazy captain. What's more, they can get out of danger every time, which gives them confidence in Casto.

The Silver Claw headed for the combat area at full speed, and Casto checked the battlefield situation before going, and he found that the situation was very bad.

The firefighters have committed nearly 300 warships in the airspace of the Mariner Valley, and now less than 30 are still resisting. However, the enemy was no better, and they were left with only 60 warships. They tried to entangle the 30 battleships and prevent them from retreating.

When the "Silver Cockroach" arrived at the combat site, the tragic battlefield shook everyone on board. Mariner's Valley was once the most spectacular area of Mars. There is the majestic Grand Canyon, the most flowing river on Mars and dense forests. Agriculture is well developed in the vicinity, and the Ionian Plateau is one of the most densely populated areas on Mars.

Today, the dense forest is now only a scorched earth, and the nearby city is in ruins, and the buildings that once stood here are all burned in the flames.

On closer inspection, the horrors of the battlefield were even more terrifying, with the rubble littered with the wreckage of warships, vehicles, tanks, and mechs. It was mixed with the flesh and guts of the soldiers.

Seeing this, Casto silently prayed in his heart for Sonia to be alive. He shifted his perspective back to the sky, where a fleet scuffle was still going on, and he spotted a large number of enemy Leliat stealth frigates firing torpedoes at the enemy.

Casto immediately asked the gunners to open fire on the frigates, and under the bombardment of the "Ashes of the Gods" heavy guns, the two Leliat stealth frigates suffered heavy damage and were directly penetrated.

The violent explosion directly tore through an enemy ship, and she cracked in the air, a huge fireball burst through the crack, engulfing the ship, and the shock wave of the explosion shook the fighter plane next to her.

Casto immediately contacted the commander of the fleet, and he was surprised to find that the commander was Rear Admiral William. He was a little difficult to accept, and even wanted to find Rear Admiral William's ship and destroy her.

But before Casto could contact him, Rear Admiral William contacted Castor himself: "Is it Captain Casto? Thank you for your support to us! Many of my men have died in battle, and I am heartbroken, please help me keep the rest of my men from retreating." "

Casto found his request very inexplicable, in his eyes Major General William was a villain who would not hesitate to sacrifice his men, and now his conscience found Casto incredulous, and he could not help but ask, "Is he pretending?"

But he thought about the soldiers in these battleships who survived on the battlefield, and decided to help them. Casto said to Major General William: "I will try to attract enemy fire and cover your retreat." "

"Yes, thank you, Captain Casto!" said Rear Admiral William.

"Major General William, after the end of the Great War, can you tell me the truth about the incident on Europa two years ago?" Casto finally couldn't help but ask.
