Vol 4 Chapter 834: The first mission of the Shenzhou battle formation

After the completion of the structural upgrade of the Shenzhou, an attack mission was immediately received.
The Shenzhou crew assembled and boarded the ship, ready to take off.
Fang Yuan came to the office of Admiral Luode at the front headquarters of the Ring Mountain and accepted the order to attack.
"In this attack mission, your main task is to command operations and escort. If it is not necessary, you do not need to take action." Admiral Rhode ordered.
"What kind of task is this? I've also arranged such a small matter?" Fang Yuan blinked, originally thinking it was a big action.
"If you don't want to do it, give the captain's position to someone else, and you can lie down and wait for the big action." Admiral Rod was not serious at all.
"Let's talk. Who will you?" Fang Yuan stood at attention solemnly, ready to attack immediately.
"Convoy four Dawn-class ships." Admiral Rod replied.
"amount……"
Fang Yuan was a little surprised, he was taken aback, and he immediately understood what was going on: "Dawn-class is preparing for the first actual combat, let us escort, does that mean?"
The four Dawn-class space frigates have just entered service and have not experienced actual combat. It is not a good choice to directly participate in large-scale battles.
Before participating in large-scale battles, it is normal to do a few actual battles first.
"Yes, but it's not just an escort. The Shenzhou and four Dawn-class space frigates have formed the first battle formation of the China Space Fleet, and the Shenzhou is the flagship. In the future, the Shenzhou will fight side by side with the four Dawn-class ships, so this time it will strike. The task is not only to escort, but also to cultivate a tacit understanding of combat cooperation." Admiral Rhodes explained.
"Understood, I'm going now." Fang Yuan quickly left the front-line headquarters building and returned to the Shenzhou.
This action is the first actual combat of the four Dawn-class space frigates, the first combat mission after the structural upgrade of the Shenzhou, and also the first combat mission of Fang Yuan after serving as the trainee captain.
At the same time, the first combat operation of the Shenzhou flagship and the formation of four Dawn-class space frigates was also an operation to show the muscles of human nations.
Use the most powerful force to completely deter the cautious thinking of some countries.
On the Shenzhou.
Standing on the bridge, Fang Yuan looked at the endless planetary surface ahead, and issued the first command of the captain: "Shenzhou is fully prepared for battle and report on the condition of the ship."
Han Youwei quickly swiped the control screen in front of him and reported: "The Star Force Amplification System is operating normally, and the Star Force Condensed Shield Generation Auxiliary System is operating normally..."
Immediately afterwards, Eveway reported: "The ion thruster is operating normally, the shipborne space-based orbital gun inspection is normal, and the solar furnace self-inspection is completed, waiting for ignition."
Zhao Anya also reported: "The avionics system is operating normally, and the radar scanning assistance system is operating normally."
Finally, it was Ye Zheyu's turn: "The fire control system is normal."
Only Niu Dazhi had nothing to do, thought for a moment, and said, "Everything is normal, take off."
Fang Yuan looked at Zhao Anya and said, "Connect the Dawn-class avionics system and ask them if they are ready to take off."
"Ok."
Zhao Anya quickly swiped the control screen, connected the communication channels of the four Dawn-class space frigates, and confirmed that all the four Dawn-class space frigates had completed their lift-off preparations.
Fang Yuan took a deep breath and ordered: "The sun furnace is ignited, the Shenzhou battle formation, lifts off! The target, the C12 mining area of ​​the Deep Wind Plain, go forward at full speed!"
After the humans occupied Jones Canyon, they have controlled the deep wind plain within a thousand kilometers.
However, there are nearly fifty large and small scattered mining areas in the Deep Wind Plain, and most of these scattered mining areas have star beast broods absorbing the star source mine.
Therefore, if you want to mine the Star Source Mine in the Deep Wind Plains mining area, you need to clean up the Star Beast and Star Beast brood in the mining area.
The broods of star beasts in these scattered mining areas are not large, and the number of star beasts is not large, but there will still be a lot of trouble to clean up.
Once it is not handled properly, casualties are very likely to occur.
Therefore, you need to be very careful about cleaning up.
Moreover, the farther the mining area is from the Jones Canyon base, the higher the risk factor.
Like the C12 mining area in the Deep Wind Plains, which is more than 600 kilometers away from Jones Canyon, it is a relatively dangerous area.
Therefore, the space fleet needs to be dispatched to clean up.
Of course, if you just clean up the C12 mining area, you don't actually need to dispatch the Shenzhou and the meteorite super fighters.
However, this time the main combat unit is the Dawn-class space frigate.
Shenzhou is responsible for the and at the same time cultivates the tacit understanding of coordinated operations in space combat formations.
The sun furnace ignites.
The Shenzhou was the first to take the lead, and four Dawn-class ships followed closely, two left and two right, and arranged in a V-shaped formation with the flagship.
The ion thrusters of the five space battleships simultaneously ejected blue flames and flew towards the northwest.
It only took 10 minutes.
The Shenzhou battle formation arrived at the C12 mining area of ​​the Deep Wind Plain.
Fang Yuan issued a reconnaissance order.
The four Dawn-class frigates disperse, using their speed advantage to get closer.
The main task of the space frigate is to reconnaissance and the flagship, followed by offense.
Therefore, the reconnaissance mission is undertaken by four Dawn-class space frigates.
Of course, Zhao Anya is also exploring the C12 mining area through Shenzhou’s spiritual augmentation assistance system to enhance spiritual power.
Three minutes later, the various reconnaissance data are summarized.
"The star beast brood in the C12 mining area covers an area of ​​800 meters in diameter and has a small data brood. Two war-level energy fluctuations have been detected. According to database records, the star beast brood with a diameter of 800 meters does not have the ability to emit super-giant gamma rays. The ability." Zhao Anya reported the aggregated data.
Judging from the data obtained by reconnaissance, the star beast brood in this C12 mining area is not difficult to deal with, nor does it require Shenzhou to do it.
Obviously, the front-line headquarters assigned this attack mission to train the four Dawn-class space frigates.
Fang Yuan gave an order to the four Dawn-class frigates: "Destroy the brood!"
The four Dawn-class space frigates received the order and immediately opened fire, pouring firepower at the star beast brood.
Boom boom boom...
The shell exploded outside the mother nest of the star beast, with loud noises and smoke filled the sky.
Groups of star beasts immediately flew out of the star beast brood. Among them, two war-class flying star beasts pounced on two Dawn-class space frigates.
These four space frigates have just been commissioned. Although some of the crew on board were transferred from the Shenzhou and Chixian, the Dawn-class has not undergone actual combat tests.
Therefore, it is hard to say whether it can withstand the impact of the star beast group, especially the two war-class star beasts.
In terms of attack power, the Dawn-class space frigate is fully capable of shooting war-class star beasts, but the premise is that the war-class star beasts cannot be rushed into the face.
Once the strength of the war-class star beast jumps to the outer shell of the Dawn-class space frigate, it can penetrate the outer shell and even break into the battleship.
Not only the Dawn class, even the Shenzhou, once the star beast breaks into the battleship, there is a possibility of sinking.
Of course, there are super fighters on the Shenzhou, so this kind of thing will not happen.
The Dawn-class frigate is hard to say.
Therefore, Fang Yuan looked sideways at Ye Zheyu and ordered: "Lock the two war-class star beasts, and once they jump on the frigate shell, they will be destroyed immediately."
