Chapter 425: Forced Cooperation
The No. 1 ship where Leohard was located, taking advantage of the opportunity created by the smoke bomb, narrowly avoided the blind spot of the swarm's vision, and finally could breathe a sigh of relief.
But the other 4 warships did not have such a fast reaction speed, and the No. 3 ship where Anu was even dragged by the swarm and was in trouble, and there was a possibility of danger at any time.
Anu is not as decisive as Leohhard, and even if she wants to fight for the command of the battleship, the other three students may not listen to her.
The swarm was already close at hand, but the three team members were still arguing over the assignment of positions, and Anu knew that he couldn't count on them anymore, so he sat in the driver's seat without saying a word, and tried the role of each joystick one by one.
"What are you doing? The driver's position is mine, who allowed you to sit here ?! One of the students asked.
Anu ignored him, didn't even look back, and continued to familiarize himself with the control method of the Dragon Eagle battleship.
"I warn you, if you don't give up the driver's seat again, don't blame me for being rude!" The student grabbed Anu by the collar and threatened, the anger in his eyes threatening to consume her.
Anu was a little scared, the other party's fierce and vicious appearance reminded her of the previous barbarian master, who also looked like she wanted to eat people.
But the current situation can't help her to think about this, and if she doesn't take action, I'm afraid there will really be no chance.
Anu reached out and buckled the seat belt around his waist, pushed the joystick to the end, and turned on all the power of the thruster, and the No. 3 ship instantly picked up speed and rolled forward.
This roll was so sudden that several of the other students didn't have time to get ready, and they were suddenly thrown on their backs.
"Bastard, do you want to kill me?" The student who had threatened Anu before said angrily.
Anu turned his head to look at him and said disgustedly, "I don't want to die with you." ”
Ship 3 circled in the air, quickly reoriented, and began to flee, but the slow speed was not enough to open the distance.
Due to the fact that too much time had been wasted before, the swarm had already formed an encirclement of the No. 3 ship, and Anu could only choose the direction with a small number of swarms to break through, but the danger of doing so was also great, and the success rate was extremely low.
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and start attacking, otherwise the No. 2 ship over there will be our end." Anu said coldly.
The three team members glanced at the No. 2 ship not far away, and the swarm over there had already torn open the hull and entered the inside of the battleship.
At the moment of life and death, several people couldn't care about grabbing the position anymore, so they immediately looked for a vacant seat to sit down, and quickly and skillfully operated the essentials.
"Stinger missiles are ready to be launched." The weapons officer of the No. 3 ship shouted.
"Fire freely, I'll create a shooting angle for you." Anu said.
"Made, the swarm in the rear is about to pounce, I'll take control of the cannon in the tail." The intelligence officer glanced at the radar in front of him and said with a curse.
Now the four of them are grasshoppers on a rope, as long as they don't want to die, they must do their job as well as possible, even if the work is not what they want.
The captain of the No. 3 ship fell on the head of a Dumat, but in the midst of the encirclement, he couldn't think of any good breakthrough tactics for a while, and seeing that Anu was doing a good job, he consciously helped the weapons officer to attack.
"The aiming of this laser cannon
The way is too difficult, I can't lock on to the target at all. The weapons officer tried several rounds of attacks, but none of them hit, and said with some discouragement.
"Give me the laser cannon, and you will concentrate on launching shipborne missiles." The Dumat captain immediately put down other work and came over to take over the main weapons of battleship No. 3.
The trainees of the No. 3 ship finally had some tacit understanding at a critical moment, which was forced out by death.
The tragic situation of the No. 2 ship is just around the corner, and such a lesson from the past says a lot:
Lord Death didn't scare them, and there would be no support troops in this test, even if the students' lives were in danger, they wouldn't change.
The combat effectiveness of the Dragon Eagle Battleship is very low, and although the weapons carried can barely break through the thick carapace of the giant claw flying insects, if you want to effectively kill the enemy, you can only rely on the only two laser cannons.
The possibility of completing the mission alone is almost zero, and several other warships must be united and cooperate with each other.
"The speed of the Dragon Eagle Battleship has reached its limit, and I can't shake off the trailing swarm!" Anu said anxiously.
"The hit rate of manual aiming is so low that I have an average of three attacks to get one hit."
"The same goes for the laser cannon I control."
"The tail cannon is running out of ammunition."
The situation of the No. 3 ship is extremely dangerous, the swarm has narrowed the encirclement, and the pressure on them is increasing.
Just when Anu was almost desperate, Ship 1 of Leohard's ship arrived to support and launched an attack from the periphery of the encirclement, successfully diverting some of the swarms.
Leohard also obviously understood that only by covering each other could he survive, so after roughly mastering the control of the Dragon Eagle battleship, he took the initiative to provide some fire support to the most eye-catching No. 3 ship.
This helped Anu a lot, taking advantage of the swarm to disperse his forces, and the No. 3 ship finally managed to break through the encirclement and buy time to reload ammunition.
Leohard sent a communication to the No. 3 ship: "Anu, let's rescue the other two warships together, so that the four battleships can form a combat formation." ”
"Listen to you!" Anu quickly agreed.
Following the flank and rear of the No. 1 ship, he approached the other two battleships.
After some hard work, the 4 battleships finally met victoriously, and the fly in the ointment was that the number of swarms following behind them was also larger, overwhelming, and people couldn't help but tingle their scalps at a glance.
"You can't run away, let's do your best!"
"If you don't kill a few more bugs, you won't be able to close your eyes when you die."
The firepower network composed of 4 battleships was a little more impressive, and the 8 laser cannons fired laser beams non-stop, and finally withstood the counterattack of the swarm.
Large-caliber cannons combined with precision strikes from homing missiles can also cause good lethality.
What's more, this cooperation improves their margin for error, and even if the hit rate is still not high, it is not easy for the biter to get close.
……
Mu Chen watched the performance of the students through the light curtain, and his solemn face finally relaxed a little, and the students themselves may not have noticed that their cooperation with each other has become more and more tacit.
"Unexpectedly, they managed to withstand the attack of the swarm." Hou Ying said with some surprise.
"It's okay
After all, they are good seedlings screened out layer by layer, and there is no problem with their talent. Mu Chen also said with satisfaction.
"However, if you want to completely annihilate the swarm in this star field, I'm afraid it will still be very difficult." Hou Ying said worriedly.
"You're done with the energy pool I asked you to install, right?" Mu Chen asked.
"Don't worry, with the consumption rate of the Dragon Eagle Battleship, that large energy pool is enough for them to continue fighting for half a month."
"Half a month?" Mu Chen roughly calculated, "If you can't annihilate these insect swarms for so long, then they are really hopeless." ”
The battle in front continued, but Mu Chen did not stay in front of the monitoring room all the time, arranged for two staff members to keep an eye on it, so as to avoid accidents, he went home to sleep.
This is a bitter pain for the remaining 16 students, the swarm is like endless, no matter how they fight, they can't finish fighting, and they are still rushing towards them without fear of death, which makes them dare not even take a moment of rest, and always stick to their posts.
When they really can't support it, they will exchange positions with each other, and there will be intelligence officers and commanders to take over the positions of drivers and weapons officers, taking turns to rest and replenish energy.
The student in charge of operating the laser cannon was surprised to find that he had unknowingly increased the hit rate to more than 60%, and even mastered the trick of manual aiming, and the speed of locking on to the target was very fast.
And the students in the driver's seat also feel that their level is flying to improve, and some difficult movements can be used almost subconsciously.
Almost every trainee can rotate in various positions, and not every rotation makes them more proficient in the work at hand, and they quickly cooperate with each other.
As the students continued to improve, the pressure brought by the swarm became weaker and weaker, and the balance of victory gradually tilted in favor of the students.
After 10 days, the swarm in front of the four warships was finally cleared, and the transition channel back to the solar system was opened again, announcing the end of the quiz.
There were no cheers and jubilation, and as soon as the cadets left the combat area, they collapsed in their seats and fell asleep.
10 The continuous fighting had drained all their physical strength and energy, and they were reluctant to move even a finger at the moment.
Mu Chen looked at these exhausted students, nodded with satisfaction, didn't bother, and left quietly, just asking the medical officer to give them a physical examination, just don't die suddenly.
Anu woke up to find that she had returned to her dorm room at an unknown time, and that she was still injecting nutrient solutions on her wrists.
The medical soldier next to him smiled and asked, "Awake?" ”
"Hmm, how long have I been asleep?" Anu asked.
"62 hours." The medic replied.
"Yikes! So long? Anu hurriedly got up, "Did Mr. Muchen arrange training?" I can't miss it. ”
The medic covered his mouth and snickered: "Hehe, don't worry, Lord Death has given you 3 days off, and you can rest for another 10 hours." ”
Anu was relieved at this time, although she was very dissatisfied with Mu Chen's almost cruel training at first, but after this quiz, she deeply felt her progress, so she didn't want to miss Mu Chen's guidance for a moment.
"I'm so hungry, I've got to find something to eat." As soon as Anu woke up, he returned to his nature as a snacker.
