"The air assault battalion has found a large number of targets, nine hundred and fifty kilometers away, and is rapidly entering our airspace!"

When Yang Yi was worried, the spacecraft in front of the air assault battalion in charge of air vigilance issued the first warning.

The Great Force of Earth Warriors is advancing in the direction of advancement.

600 km airspace.

Zhang Xian, commander of the air assault battalion, piloted and commanded the early warning spacecraft, and with a serious expression, he informed Yang Yi of the enemy situation discovered by the early warning spacecraft.

"The ground combat unit immediately occupies the terrain and forms a defensive posture with the air assault battalion!"

At the same time that Zhang Xian issued the warning, Yang Yi also saw the enemy situation uploaded by the early warning spacecraft through the holographic command system, and reported to the assault battalions on the ground with a solemn expression.

In an instant, all the combatants of the Earth War Knife became nervous, and everyone's blood was boiling, waiting for the battle with the Maltese since the formation of the unit.

"The enemy target is six hundred kilometers away, and in about two minutes it will enter our airspace, form a battle formation, and prepare for engagement!"

One minute.

"Three hundred kilometers, energy cannon ready!"

Four o'clock in the second.

"Two hundred kilometers, go into the range of attack, launch!"

Zhang Xianbian, commander of the air assault battalion, ordered all bat-type spacecraft to start fighting and occupy advantageous positions in the air at high speed.

"Whew! Laugh at! Laugh at! ”

Twenty seconds later.

The two spaceships that had already collided head-on opened fire in the air at the same time, and in an instant, blue energy beams of light flashed wildly.

The two sides approaching at high speed showed no weakness, and the prelude to the air battle began in an airspace of 180 kilometers.

Suddenly the engines roared in the air, and the spacecraft of the two sides maneuvered at high speed in the air, fighting, and the scene was thrilling.

From time to time, a spaceship is hit, making a thumping boom.

Zhang Xian's face sank like water, and he was driving the bat-type combat command spaceship over the valley, and started a chase game with the pentagonal spaceship formation command ship.

Although he shouldered the heavy responsibility of command, Zhang Xian, who had superb piloting skills, was not satisfied with staying in the center of the formation, but engaged the enemy at high speed like other pilots.

As soon as the air battle began, Zhang Xian discovered the command ships in this batch of pentagonal spacecraft formations.

As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, although air combat is not a land-flat way of advancement, Zhang Xian did not hesitate to rush out of the formation and target the other party.

Obviously, the commanders of this group of pentagonal spaceships did not take Zhang Xian seriously, and when they saw the spacecraft piloted by Zhang Xian approaching at high speed, they also suddenly rushed out of the formation and greeted Zhang Xian.

The two ships are rolling up and down in the air, sometimes chasing back and forth, sometimes maneuvering crosswise, aiming at each other, both trying to knock each other down with a single blow to the hand they have killed.

After fighting for dozens of seconds, although they both fired energy weapons, no one hit anyone, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time, and the level of the two pilots seemed to be in between.

After doing a few more big overload maneuvers, Zhang Xian was secretly a little surprised in his heart, although he was very confident in his driving skills, but the other party was not a vegetarian.

Zhang Xian's spacecraft uses a nuclear fusion engine, which cannot be compared with the pentagonal spacecraft antimatter engine in terms of energy utilization efficiency, but in terms of maneuverability, the difference between the two spacecraft is not very large.

Although it adopts a different aerodynamic design, the bat-type spacecraft developed on the basis of the pentagonal spacecraft is almost a copy of the pentagonal spacecraft in terms of control system, although it is slightly inferior, but it does not seem to suffer particularly in air combat.

In this way, although the hull protection, weapon attack power, and range of the spaceship piloted by Zhang Xian are slightly inferior to the pentagonal spacecraft, it is actually difficult to give full play to the advantages of the pentagonal spacecraft in this kind of short-distance combat that is instantaneous and fatal.

"It seems that this game of eagle catching chickens can no longer continue, and some special measures must be taken!"

It was too late, and Zhang Xian, who had made up his mind, did not hesitate, and the spaceship suddenly swooped down almost vertically into the valley, plunging headlong into the strange rocky cliffs.

It was not only the human camp that was puzzled, after fighting with Zhang Xian in the air for more than ten seconds, the commander of the pentagonal spaceship also discovered that these human spaceships were not simple.

Judging from the previous engagements, the Pentagon spacecraft has completely crushed the human aircraft in all indicators. However, these human ships are completely different, not only are their maneuverability surprisingly good, but their protection performance does not seem to be weak.

The two ships were so dense that they fought in the air for nearly a minute, and each hit the other, but the losses on the human side were not as great as he imagined, and only a few ships were shot down.

On the contrary, this pentagonal spacecraft is far less numerous than human ships, and in the air combat, more than a dozen spacecraft antimatter engines were hit and exploded in the air.

These backward yellow dwarf humans seem to have mastered some of the Centauri technology overnight, creating a craft that is not much inferior to the Pentagon spaceship, and also finding a weakness in the Pentagon's defenses.

However, the Maltese who piloted the pentagonal spaceship had technical confidence and superiority after all, and this doubt only flashed in their minds for a short time.

Seeing Zhang Xian rushing towards the valley at high speed, he did not hesitate to turn around and dive and chase down.

Zhang Xian, who entered the bottom of the narrow valley, saw the pentagonal spaceship following after him, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The flight altitude suddenly changed and became unpredictable, and began to fly aerobatics with the pentagonal spacecraft behind.

I saw that the bat-type spacecraft sometimes clinged to the cliff, sometimes turned at high speed, sometimes climbed vertically, sometimes rolled forward, and the difficult and thrilling actions appeared continuously.

This ability to use narrow and steep terrain to find fighters is Zhang Xian's specialty.

Zhang Xian, who has been training flying skills in this complex terrain since he joined the Aerospace Forces, has not only developed superb flying skills, but is also very handy in making use of this familiar terrain.

Zhang Xian's move really worked, and the pentagonal spacecraft didn't care about Zhang Xian's style of play at the beginning, and followed closely.

In less than half a minute, the pentagonal spacecraft was too fast to dodge, and it collided with the rock wall twice, knocking the rock wall into rubble. Fortunately, the pentagonal ship has a hard hull, so there is no need to worry about being hit by rocks, otherwise it would have crashed.

Even though the pentagonal spaceship was not destroyed by the rocks, the flight attitude and movements changed in favor of Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian grabbed the fighter plane for a short time and locked it, and fired a pillar of energy light to hit.

Although it was not critical, it also frightened the pilot of the pentagonal spacecraft, forming an invisible pressure in his heart, making him thunderous but helpless.

How could Zhang Xian, who won twice, miss the opportunity and give the other party more time to get out.

Another dozen seconds passed.

The pentagonal spaceship, which had been a little dizzy by Zhang Xian's tactics, finally revealed its fate. The engine position was locked from behind by Zhang Xian.

"Boom!"

As a beam of blue energy beams of light were launched from the bottom of the bat-type spacecraft, hitting the engine vent of the pentagonal spacecraft accurately, an explosion came from inside the pentagon.

Smoke rose from the badly injured pentagon, which slammed out of control and into the side of the cliff at high speed, making a loud noise that shattered a multi-thousand-ton boulder in all parts with a huge impact.

The rock-shattering ship's hull was mixed with rubble and plunged down the valley floor, crashing into the narrow upper valley.

Zhang Xianjian solved the pentagonal spaceship, and his heart was relieved, and he pulled up vertically and flew out of the valley at high speed.

At the moment when Zhang Xian engaged the command ships of this group of pentagonal spacecraft, the form of air combat also changed.

The Maltese pentagon did not seem to have much advantage in air combat, and the number of ships dispatched was much smaller than that of the human side due to the fact that the Maltese were too light in this air battle.

Coupled with the fact that the human side found the weakness of the bat-type spaceship and specifically attacked the weak engine parts of the five-transformation spaceship, the pentagonal spaceship formation gradually became disadvantageous over time, and many more ships were hit, and the total number was only one-third of the battle.

However, the human Bat-type spacecraft also paid the price, with nearly twenty of them shot down.
