Chapter 51: The Secret of Jumping
"All mechs stop their engines from overdrive and return to normal full speed." Sendaya ordered.
Gomati's sacrifice successfully bought nearly 5 minutes for the first brigade. 5 minutes may seem like a short time, but on the ever-changing battlefield, it is already a period of time that can decide the fate of countless lives.
This five-minute buffer time has given way to the remnants of the first brigade at full power, and it is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Forsyken cluster.
At this time, the first brigade was only thousands of kilometers away from the position of the enemy's flagship and that strange light cluster.
"Disperse the formation, disperse the formation, the next step will be to enter the range of the enemy's flagship anti-aircraft fire network, all team members pay attention to evasion, the first squadron melee mechs and all long-range mechs, build an umbrella formation, ready to resist the enemy's pursuers here! The others come with me! Let's figure out what's in the light. ”
With Sendaya's order, the remnants of the first group's mechs were divided into two parts, one of the mechs arranged a defensive formation on the spot, and the remaining melee mechs followed Sendaya to rush into the flagship's anti-aircraft fire circle and flew in the direction of the light cluster.
Joestar is among them. The mechanical technology of the Forsyken people is very inferior in the face of the human empire, so the weapons on the Forsyken warships are generally mostly missiles, laser and laser cannons have a short range, and can only be used as a close defense weapon, while long-range words mostly rely on cruise missiles and electromagnetic guns to shoot - its accuracy can be imagined. When facing enemy units such as mechs, which are small in size and extremely fast, flagship-level warships are actually not very good at hitting and defending. Of course, it is difficult for ordinary mecha weapons to cause any lethal damage to a flagship-level battleship with thick shields and layers of armor.
The commander of the Forsyken clan actually made a very serious mistake just now, that is, he sent all his carrier-based planes and mechs, which caused the flagship to resist extremely powerlessly in the face of the approaching first group of mechas. Although it is difficult for these mechs to inflict fatal damage on the flagship, the Versecen flagship has no way to intercept the mechs of the First Brigade to detect the light group.
Soon, Sendaya approached the light cluster with the remaining melee mechs, and at this time, the light clusters no longer needed to rely on the mecha's detection equipment and long-range equipment to observe, and the light clusters were already visible to the naked eye and close at hand.
"Captain, preliminary scanning, this light cluster is a special force field, which can emit a specific fluctuation signal, I guess this may be the reason why the opponent's flagship jumped in, the opponent's flagship captures this specific fluctuation signal, and then through the powerful jump engine at the flagship level, directly tearing the space, and jumping to the vicinity of the force field without a fixed point through the wormhole." A mech with a special scanning equipment reported.
"I see. Will the Mecha be able to contact the fleet? Sendaya asked.
"No, captain, the other party's flagship immediately launched the signal shielding when it jumped over, and my mecha is loaded with a communication enhancement system, and it still can't contact the fleet."
"This must be reported to the fleet command! Can the scanning mech find this force field generator? ”
"Yes, according to the detection, the force field generator is in the center of the light cluster. The volume should not be large. ”
"Very well, mark the location of the force field generator on the fleet tactical map. Team 3, you're responsible for getting this device out. ”
"Yes, Captain!" Ryan and Joestar took the lead.
The two of them looked at the location of the force field generator marked on the tactical map, and sure enough, it was in the center of the light group, only a few kilometers away from the current Imperial Army's melee mecha group.
"Ryan, Joestar, as soon as you get the device, move closer to the fleet and leave us alone." Sendaya said.
"Captain! Please, please give this opportunity to others, I am willing to fight to the end! Ryan said excitedly.
"Shut up! On the battlefield you just have to obey the orders of the commander! Execute the command! Promise me, whatever I do, you two will return to the fleet with this device! Ryan, Joestar is still a newcomer, take him with him, live! ”
Ryan looked back at Joestar, who had just been promoted to the official Star Knight in his squad.
"Captain! I'm a Star Knight! I'm not afraid of death! Joestar didn't expect Sendaya to think so much about it, so he handed over this task to himself and Captain Lane.
"Listen, it's not that I'm ruthless, brothers. The sudden appearance of new technology by the enemy has caused their flagship-class battleships to jump to the rear of our Imperial Army's blockade line, although there is only one now, but who knows if the opponent's force field can still guide more battleships. We are running out of time, not only to prevent the other side's follow-up warships from jumping in, but also to bring this device back to the Imperial for study, which is indeed a very difficult task for us who are now caught in the middle of communication blocking and enemy pursuit. ”
"However, for the sake of the victory of our entire Imperial Army, I am compelled to make a decision and sacrifice here. Many of you are still young knights. Please forgive me for being a little selfish as a temporary captain. If all the knights of our First Brigade were killed today, our number would be revoked. But as long as there are still official knights alive, the First Brigade will be able to rebuild! ”
"Ryan, one of my experienced squad leaders, Joestar, has just become an official Star Knight today. That's the spark I left behind for our 1st Brigade. Please forgive me for my incompetence and no choice to protect more people, because I need you to fight with me! I can't give you any hope, but I'll fight with you until the very end! So, please everyone, carry out the order! Ryan, Joestar! Go get the device. Others, come with me, we'll break off for them! ”
The other pilots present, including the soldiers who had already arranged a defensive formation a little farther away, were silent. In the case of such a disadvantageous situation on the battlefield, it seems that the first brigade has no more and better options, only to break the kettle and fight against the water. Although he will die for the rest of his life, from the day he becomes a soldier of the Human Empire, who has not been prepared to die in battle.
Joestar and Ryan silently gave a military salute, turned and flew towards the force field generator.
Sendaya and the other warriors silently watched them go away, and after a few seconds, Sendaya gave an order in the fleet channel, and everyone turned around and joined the defensive formation formed before.
"Our primary goal is to ensure that Joestar and Ryan can get their hands on the device and then cover their retreat in the direction of the fleet. At that point, we can maintain a defensive formation and slowly retreat. If we have a chance, we'll get rid of these sons of bitches! I just said that, just so that everyone will not have complaints about the task after the break, and I hope that everyone will devote all their energy to defense and block the enemy's attack! ”
In fact, everyone knows that Sendaya's words are actually more comforting. After all, although there is a theoretical chance to shake off the enemy's pursuit, how did the Imperial Army get rid of the enemy before - they paid the sacrifice of the captain and many comrades to blow themselves up, so they achieved this goal.
Now, the strongest mecha and pilot in the remnants of the first brigade is the temporary captain Sendaya, but he is still far from Gemati, and the team is to face the enemy's pursuit with an umbrella formation, rather than the sharp arrow formation just now to break through the enemy's encirclement, this difference makes it more difficult to get rid of the enemy.
But who are these warriors? Those who can become Star Knights, even Reserve Knights, are all elite warriors in the Imperial Army, and they are impeccable in terms of will to fight. From the day they became warriors and pilots, all of them had a firm belief in fighting for human civilization.
"Prepare to take on the enemy! Ranged mechs ready! Sendaya's roar rang out. Not far away, there is a cluster of Fosyken that swoops in like locusts.
