Chapter 615: Fleet Air Combat

"We can make up for the quantitative gap by quality." Li Mingze waved his hand lightly.

"The fleet forms a conical array, the battleships equipped with dimensional armor are at the front of the array, all aircraft carriers are in a state of carrier-based aircraft launch readiness, waiting for my orders, the three Titan-class battleships are not directly involved in the battle, and remain in the rear to be responsible for repairing damaged battleships and assisting in calculations!" Li Mingze looked at the images of the spaceships representing the fleets of the two sides in the hologram in front of him, and calmly commanded.

One by one, the Imperial warships began to leave their original positions and gather in the center, and soon a huge cone-shaped array appeared on the Empire's side.

The Zerg warships on the opposite side did not change at all, still waiting in chaos for the Imperial fleet to approach.

"Listen to me! The Zeus-class battleship formation is moving at full speed as all aircraft carriers begin to release fighters! Li Mingze looked at the electronic clock on the wall, and when he walked to the hour, he gave an order.

After his order was given, the aircraft carriers located in the rear of the Imperial fleet opened the armor on both sides of the battleship, and the shuttle-shaped fighters with a honeycomb distribution and a swarthy body exposed their sharp noses.

“5、4、3、2、1! All warplanes launched! ”

Fighter planes shot out of the aircraft carrier like swarms, slashed through a huge arc in the air, and then rushed towards the front of the Imperial fleet.

In just a few seconds, the Imperial fleet gathered tens of millions of fighters, and these fighters took the lead in rushing towards the Zerg fleet after slightly adjusting their formation in front of the fleet, and the Imperial Zeus-class battleship formation followed closely behind these fighters and relied on the "wall" of fighters to cover them.

The pilots of these fighters are all newly awakened clones, and their samples are drawn from one hundred of the Empire's most elite fighter pilots.

The clones with the memories and instincts of these aces are still comfortable with the control of the fighters, even if they have just left the hatching pod.

The Empire's warplanes constantly changed their trajectory in the air, as if they were showing off their superb piloting skills to the Zerg fleet.

On the side of the Zerg fleet, saucer-shaped creatures about the size of the Imperial fighters also flew out of the Zerg array.

These saucer-shaped biofighters have four long tentacles behind their disc-shaped bodies, and they do not have the presence of weak organs such as eyes.

"Fire!" With Li Mingze's loud shout, the pilots of the Imperial fighters put the rushing Zerg biological fighters into the scope.

Armor-piercing shells slanted out like a downpour of rain and fired into the swarm of biological fighters.

The flying cannon shells slammed into the shell of the Zerg's biological fighter plane, sending out bursts of fire, and in a short time, it pierced through the seemingly hard shell of the biological fighter, blasting the soft flesh inside into a blur.

Not to be outdone, the Biological Fighter fired a bone spur shell from the launch port in the front of the disc-shaped fuselage towards the Imperial Fighter.

However, it is a pity that the pilots of the Imperial fighters are all clones who combine the abilities of ace pilots, and these bone spurs are like slow motion in the movie for these "aces".

Paired with on-board computers, the Imperial warplanes can easily dodge these traceable bone spur shells.

As a result, the Zerg Creature Fighter's ranged attacks had little effect.

"Immediately speed up and give me a close attack! I don't believe you'll be able to get out of the way when the distance closes! The Zerg Mother Emperor saw that the Great War had only just begun, and her fleet had fallen to the upper hand, and roared angrily.

The speed of the Zerg swarm, which received the Empress Emperor's angry orders, became faster and faster, and within a few minutes, the biological warplanes collided with the Imperial swarm.

At the moment when the two sides intersected, the Empire and Zerg fighters made various maneuvers one after another, trying to skip the opponent's side, but because the number of fighters was too large, even if they dodged the enemy plane that collided head-on, they could also crash into another enemy plane or friendly fighter plane when they got out of the way sideways.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides met, a violent explosion and fire flashed on the intersecting line.

Every flash of fire meant the death of an Imperial fighter and a Zerg biological warplane.

After the two sides passed by, it was time for the Imperial Clone Aces to play.

After a brief period of contact, the two sides interspersed with each other, and the Imperial fighters, under the control of the clone aces, made a 180-degree U-turn in the air, aiming the cannon at the bow of the aircraft at the departing Zerg group.

At this time, the advantage of the Imperial fighters being covered in thrusters was revealed, and the Imperial fighters could easily rely on these thrusters to flip in place.

Due to the physiological structure of the Zerg's biological warfare, there are only one or two jets that can propel its movement in each direction.

This caused the Zerg fighter to make a U-turn and had to cross a large arc in space.

And when they arced, the pilots of the Imperial fighters had already pulled the trigger in their hands and sent one cannonball after another into the bodies of the Zerg fighters.

Suddenly, the Zerg warships exploded like broken watermelons, and in just a few seconds, nearly 10 million biological warplanes were directly shredded.

"Damn! Keep producing hummingbirds for me! The Zerg Mother Emperor ordered angrily.

If you can't wipe out the fighters of the Sith Empire in front of the battle and let these fighters get close, it will greatly affect the operation of the Zerg fleet.

And all the Zerg warships, because each warship carries a large number of Hummingbird fighters, do not make any weapons and organs for air defense at all.

In other words, the Zerg warships only have the ability to attack the warships, and if they want to deal with small fighter units, they can only rely on the Hummingbird fighters carried inside.

However, these Zerg biological warplanes also have a great advantage, that is, how easy and fast they are to build.

Each Hummingbird fighter only takes two hours to hatch, and they don't consume a lot of nutrients, which also gives the Zerg fleet the confidence to use the sea of aircraft to drown the enemy.

But....

They have the misfortune of encountering the Sith Empire, a smorgasbord civilization that has been crooked to the point where it doesn't know where to go.

The production of fighters has never been a problem for the Reich.

After the first batch of fighters were destroyed by the Zerg, new fighters began to be built inside the aircraft carriers in the rear of the Imperial fleet.

Due to being within the coverage of the Empire's material transmission, the resource of all aircraft carriers is equivalent to unlimited.

Brand new fighter planes are being printed little by little, and when they are printed, they will be sent to the launch bay to be put on standby.

And in the center of the aircraft carrier, rows of hatching pods are warming a clone that is nearly ready to grow, and when they wake up, they will immediately fly fighter planes to replenish the Empire's fleet!
