CHAPTER 194: SHOE TIME 2
The interstellar pirates originally thought that this battle had long been a matter of hand, and with a 142-to-2 ratio of battleships, it would not be easy to lose under such an advantage.
But they soon discovered that there was a reason why their opponents were able to be revered by everyone as "Lord Death".
This practice of driving the battleship as a fighter plane, flying with an unheard-of maneuver at every turn, and flying with folds to avoid the enemy's main artillery attack has almost weakened the spirit of the pirates in charge of the attack on the pirate fleet.
In the first round of main gun attacks from more than 100 pirate warships, only one particle beam hit the target, and it did not break through the energy shield of the Reaper, and did not cause damage at all.
A huge psychological pressure fell on the shoulders of every pirate, and the current situation was like an eagle suddenly breaking into a flock of sparrows, and there was always a feeling that he seemed to be messing with the wrong opponent.
Another pirate's medium-sized warship was hit in the power room, causing a violent explosion, sending a beautiful firework into space before dissolving into scattered debris, much to the sadness of the other pirates.
[The Reaper's shield energy is 75%, and it is slowly replenishing, and it is expected to recover all energy in 10 minutes.] 】
[The temperature of the particle beam cannon is too high, it is recommended to stop charging and cool down for 5 minutes.] 】
[80% of the remaining energy of the whole ship, with the current energy consumption rate, it can still maintain 9 hours of battle.] 】
Mu Chen checked the situation of the battleship at this time, and found that there were not too many problems, so he was a little relieved.
"The main gun is cooled, and the backup energy is directly connected to the energy shield to ensure that the shield has sufficient energy at any time."
"Intelligence officer, contact the Giant Whale, let their flying squadron, don't show me the excitement there, hurry up and lure the pirate's fighter plane away for me, there are these flies in the way, Lao Tzu is also distracted to avoid the battleship from colliding with it."
Mu Chen's hand quickly maneuvered the battleship to dodge the attack of another pirate battleship, and gave instructions in an orderly manner.
At this point in the battle, all the crew members put their hearts in their stomachs, or they didn't care about their own life and death for the time being, and went all out to do only one thing, that is, to try to ensure that they did not vomit.
They finally know why the captain requires everyone to wear a vomit bag around their necks, and the feeling of riding a death car is truly exciting, 10,000 times more exciting than the super roller coaster in Disneyland.
The body involuntarily begins to secrete adrenaline, oxytocin, dopamine and other messy things, and the most direct reaction is the feeling of turning over the river in the stomach.
The intelligence officer gritted his teeth and got in touch with the Whale, quickly conveyed the captain's meaning, and ended the call without waiting for the other party to respond, he felt that he could break out at any time, and it was better not to be embarrassed in front of friendly forces.
However, the crew of the battleship Whale thought that the Reaper was deep in the enemy camp at this time, and everyone was so busy that they couldn't care about it at all, and they spoke concisely and competently, and they didn't want to waste time.
"General Reynolds, let's join the battle too, otherwise the pressure on the Reaper's side will be too great, in case it can't withstand ......," James said with some concern.
They could also see the Grim Reaper on radar footage
At the time of the general battle, a blue point of light flickered and moved in the encirclement formed by the red point of light, although the red point of light disappeared every second, but the Grim Reaper was definitely not easy.
General Renault did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "All members of the flying squadron will attack, divide the pirate fighters from the battlefield, be sure to reduce a certain pressure on the Reaper, the Giant Whale is moving forward at full speed, we will outflank the past, if there is any danger, leave the battlefield immediately, we must return the experimental data to Earth safely, even if we have to sacrifice the Reaper, we will not hesitate." ”
General Renault's orders were extremely cold, and many of the crew members were against this practice of abandoning friendly forces in their hearts, but they could not say much, after all, obeying orders was the first duty of the warriors.
After receiving the order, the flight squadron of the Giant Whale rushed to the battlefield with a tragic mood, more than 100 Hurricane space fighters and more than 1,400 pirate fighters engaged in combat, and the ratio of friends and enemies reached 1 to 14, and it was almost impossible to win.
But they didn't want to see their comrades sacrifice alone, they knew that Mu Chen was once one of them, especially those space pilots who fought side by side with Mu Chen, they had long regarded Mu Chen as their little brother, how could they let the little brother fight alone, but they stood by.
Joseph, as the captain of the flying squadron, took the lead in driving at the front of the sharp knife formation, and did not hesitate to fire as soon as he entered the battlefield, and the laser weapon instantly shot down a pirate fighter, and fired two battering ram missiles at a pirate's medium-sized battleship, which could not cause much damage, but could effectively consume the shield energy on the battleship and provide some help to the Grim Reaper.
"Death, we're here to help." Joseph got in touch with Mu Chen and said with a smile.
"Squadron leader? I've been waiting for you for a long time, and if you don't do it again, I'll really wipe out all the pirates by myself. "Mu Chen has been a trainee pilot under Joseph for a period of time, and he is quite familiar with him, and his personal relationship is also very good, so he is not polite to him at all.
"You guy is still talking big, I knew we would have waited a little longer."
"Don't mind, it's all here, can you do it without mixing up the records? Those pirate planes are handed over to you, and they are like flies around the Grim Reaper, and they are annoying me to death. ”
"Well, be careful yourself, don't die right under my nose, I don't want to attend your funeral."
"you, I won't die if you die!" Mu Chen scolded angrily.
After the flying squadron of the Giant Whale joined the battlefield, the pressure on the Grim Reaper battleship instantly decreased a lot, and Mu Chen's spirit moved, maneuvering the Grim Reaper battleship to fly into the distance, leaving the pirate fighter behind as much as possible.
"The stern shield is all open, let's create some environment for friendly forces to attack." Mu Chen ordered.
The Grim Reaper was hanging the group of pirate fighters not far away, and Joseph's allies also understood it, followed behind the pirate fighters, desperately launched an attack, and formed a front and rear attack with the Death, and the efficiency of the attack was greatly improved for a while, and pirate fighters were constantly shot down.
[The Grim Reaper's shield energy has dropped to 50%, please be vigilant.] 】
50% of the energy shield is already a bit dangerous, and it can only defend against an attack from a Class A particle beam cannon, although Mu Chen has used his flying skills to the extreme, but still not
Likely to dodge all the pirate fighters, the laser beams emitted by more than 1,000 fighters are like a fishing net, and there are almost no gaps where there are no gaps.
Mu Chen's brows furrowed, it was obviously impossible to go on like this, he couldn't let the energy shield drop below 50%, otherwise it would be very dangerous.
"Weapons officer, fire five electromagnetic jamming bombs at the pirate warplanes to slow them down as much as possible."
The weapons officer finally had something to do, and immediately deployed the missile attack.
Electromagnetic interference bombs can create a very powerful energy magnetic field, which can cause interference for a certain period of time for the auxiliary instruments of fighters, which can be regarded as a relatively useful kind of tactical weapons.
Five electromagnetic jamming bombs detonated in the middle of the pirate fighter group, and the auxiliary functions of many pirate fighters were affected, and the automatic firing function and automatic flight function failed.
There was obviously a panic in the pirate fighter group, you must know that the people who flew these fighters were not space pilots like Joseph, most of them were just ordinary pirates who had been trained, and they did not have solid piloting skills and manual shooting ability at all, and many pirates were in automatic firing mode and relied heavily on auxiliary functions.
Now that they have been subjected to strong electromagnetic interference and have lost their auxiliary functions, this group of pirate fighters is like a tiger with a tooth extracted, and it immediately becomes a sick cat.
Mu Chen obviously felt that the attack from behind him had decreased a lot, and without hesitation, he controlled the 8 laser cannons to attack, and Joseph, who fell behind the pirate fighter group, also found an opportunity, the laser weapons of the hurricane fighter kept firing, leaving no respite for the pirates at all.
"Star Chart Analyst, calculate the distance from the unfamiliar star field now." Mu Chen asked the star map analyst out loud.
"Report to the captain, the nearest unfamiliar star field is about 200,000 kilometers, and it can be reached in 1 hour at full speed."
"The intelligence officer counts how much combat power the pirate side still has on the battlefield."
"Report to the captain, there are 709 pirate fighters left, 4 large warships, 15 medium warships, and more than 70 small warships."
At this point in the battle, the Grim Reaper battleship piloted by Mu Chen and his flying team have created an incomparably brilliant record, shooting down more than 750 enemy aircraft, 3 A-class battleships, 12 B-class battleships, more than 30 small warships of C-class or below, and countless drones that have shot down pirates, almost eliminating one-third of the pirate fleet.
Although the Reaper has not been damaged so far, the space flight team has already been killed, 3 space fighters were hit to the vital point, and the pilots inside did not even have a chance to escape, so they exploded with the fighters, and most of the remaining fighters were also injured, and many were in extremely dangerous situations.
"Order the Grim Reaper's flying team to return immediately, and not to make unnecessary sacrifices."
"The maintenance team seized the time to repair the injured fighters, and the pilots replaced the spare fighters to continue the operation."
Although this order was a bit out of place, the hearts of everyone on the Grim Reaper were warm, and Lord Death was cold to his enemies, but he was very merciful to his subordinates.
At least in the heat of battle, the pilot was not required to continue the fight in a broken fighter, preferring to face more pressure himself and create respite for his subordinates.
