Chapter XVI: Air Combat
"The first squad, prioritize targets, and scout the number and location of the enemy's fixed batteries. Reconnaissance aircraft, priority reconnaissance of enemy base locations. The second squad intercepts the enemy's possible fighters or robots. The third squad, accompanied by the destroyers, gave priority to striking the batteries. The opponent is nothing more than a pirate, it's not a big deal. Don't get beaten and affect the barbecue party on the weekend. "Squadron Leader Captain Luan Pelle has been serving in the Atlantic Federation Space Force for 8 years. He had just given a battle briefing to all the team members, and everyone was walking towards Gnaku with a smile and a smile, ready to go.
Captain Pelle, who was on the plane, played with the pendant hanging in the cabin with his fingers, waiting for the guide to guide him out. The video of the last battle was largely not preserved with the explosion of the ship, only some information was obtained from the mouths of the survivors. This includes battlefields where communication is impossible, as well as a flexible, spherical body. As a veteran pilot who has served in the Space Force from the very beginning, he has long been dissatisfied with the military's arrangements for the Space Force. He believes that a special body for use in the universe should be developed for the Space Army, and that things like aerodynamic shapes are not of much use in the universe, and the most useful thing is the posture nozzle that can be adjusted in multiple directions.
At this time, the guide sat with a light stick in his hand and asked him to pilot the fighter into the catapult. After that everything was a process, accompanied by the G-force detachment from the Balton-class heavy cruisers. He was the first to catapult out of the ship, and his men were then ejected one by one and formed into groups. He led the wingman to be located at the zenith of the entire squadron, as if looking down on the entire squadron, and then above was a single early warning reconnaissance aircraft, and the three squads below were triangular, with the first squad in front, and they were the first squadron in the lead. The second squad is responsible for intercepting or annihilating the opposing air force. The 3rd Squadron cooperated with a destroyer that had lost to the squadron and carried out the firepower.
Immediately after the ejection of the ship, the communicator lost its signal. Presumably the legendary jamming technique, Captain Pelle turned on a button on the right hand side of the cockpit, which was a new addition to the operation. When there is no signal for communication and radar, then turn on this button to enter the manual operation mode. At that time, he would have to rely on the aiming program on the operating panel and aim manually. Missiles are also switched to terminal guidance, relying on technologies such as heat source or visual recognition for guidance.
"Whoosh" At this time, the flagship fired three red flares, indicating the beginning of the attack. With Captain Pelle's order, the whole squadron was dispatched, and the first squad planned to quickly rush into the meteorite area.
At this time, a barrage came from the meteorite area, most of which were anti-aircraft machine guns and electromagnetic guns. "This group of pirates has so much money to deploy so many fixed batteries." Looking at the dense barrage in front of him, Captain Pelle was not alarmed, this level of barrage could not affect the squadron he led. Captain Pelle dodged a long-range electromagnetic cannon, and then pressed the launch button, and the 150mm anti-ship electromagnetic cannon on board fired a cannonball, and after a few seconds there was an explosion in the meteorite field, which he estimated should have hit.
At this time, there were no enemy spherical fighters or robots in sight, so the purpose of the first and second squads was to destroy all the electromagnetic guns for the time being, clear the obstacles for the destroyer frigates behind, and then expel the frigates to use their own firepower to clear the remaining batteries.
At this time, a small battleship like a cabinet appeared in the main fleet of the Atlantic Federation, which was a strategic-class missile destroyer of a higher level of the missile boat used by the last pirate, which could launch hundreds of missiles at a time. Just like the rocket artillery of the Earth Age, it strikes the enemy by saturating the attack.
This time, it took several minutes just to launch the missile, and the missile destroyer after launching the missile was ready to retreat to the rear to receive supplies. And now the meteorite area is plunged into a sea of explosions. Although Chen Xiaomou was equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft guns, he only intercepted about sixty percent of the missiles, and the rest all exploded in the meteorite area. According to Chen Xiaomou's estimates, at least 90% of the batteries on the front line were lost this time.
"I didn't expect the other party to have such a big killing weapon." Chen Xiaomou muttered to himself. A random order was issued: "Order the Gray Goose to attack, fire a salvo of the main guns, and strive to sink this big killer weapon in the first attack, the MS team will all attack, and the 6 squads under the jurisdiction of the headquarters will intercept the enemy fighters." The MS team of the Grey Goose gave priority to attacking the main fleet of the Atlantic Federation. ”
On the side of the Atlantic Federation, Captain Pelle, who was fighting with the battery, suddenly noticed that there were more than a dozen moving objects in the meteorite group. "It seems that the main thing is to rely on, well, it's okay, anyway, I'm tired of playing with these fixed targets."
Then he commanded the first and second squads to rush forward.
As the distance closes, he can gradually see the appearance of the enemy through the monitor. The enemy is a robot with red and white as the main colors, and the biggest special feature is the sunglasses on the head and the shield in the hand. Captain Pelle couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Is this a medieval infantryman, and he is holding a shield." ”
At this moment, there was an explosion next to him, and he suddenly noticed that from the meteorite group, a ship larger than the Balton-class heavy cruiser appeared. He zoomed in on the monitor and saw the battery and missile mount above, which was a warship, not an armed merchant ship.
While he was distracted, the MS of the Earth Federation and the Atlantic Federation's aerospace fighters came into contact and exchanged fire. Wright found that the other party was not easy to deal with. The 150mm cannon fired by himself was dodged by the opponent at a very fast speed, and the 23mm cannon on the plane was useless against the shield, and occasionally a few rounds were not blocked, but he was surprised to find that it was bounced off by the opponent's armor, and the 23mm cannon shell did not damage the robot's armor at all.
At this moment when the two sides were staggered, the careless Atlantic Federation air and space fighter unit lost no less than 10 fighters on the entire front, while none of the opponents were injured or destroyed.
"This robot is not an industrial robot, but a body specially developed for the war" Captain Pelle reacted, immediately turning on the recording device, ready to record the battle.
After the first stagger, the Atlantic Federation fighters were planning to quickly disengage and then turn around and start again, which is also the most common tactic in recent years. But then they found that the other robot quickly turned around and bit their back.
The Atlantic Federation fighters lost a few more, and the weak armor of the fighters could not resist Jim's 90mm guns.
While they were fighting hard with Jim's team, the first salvo of the Grey Goose landed accurately on the missile destroyer. The red Mega Particle Cannon beam was indestructible, destroying the missile destroyer in an instant.
