Chapter 45: The Crash (Part I)
The engine on one side of the aircraft stalls, and it is possible to continue flying under normal conditions. At least it should be okay to stick to the flight until the forced landing, after all, they have entered the territory of the Kingdom of Blaze, which is full of civilian airports.
But the condition is "under normal circumstances"......
Normal conditions do not include the situation of being chased behind the butt by anti-aircraft fighters such as the "Huangquan-13".
"The engine on the right side was hit by an enemy plane and stalled, the current altitude is 2,500 meters, please prepare to jump the plane." The captain's voice came from the loudspeaker again, and his tone was already resolute.
2500 m ...... Being able to descend to this altitude even when the latest fighter jets are firing and blocking fire is good enough as a pilot of a civilian airliner.
Full Star unbuckled his seatbelt and got up from his seat.
"Why are you going?" Anthony asked nervously.
"Do you need to ask?" Man Xing stroked his crimson curls, tied his hair into a ponytail with a leather band at the back of his head, and stretched his wing bones, "Take the weapon!" ”
"Weapons? You brought weapons into the cabin? Anthony was surprised.
"Don't you carry a weapon with you?" Man Xing looked down on him a little, "The one in the luggage compartment is called luggage!" Ignoring him, he turned and strode towards the rack of enlarged luggage at the rear of the plane.
Shadowlord checked the floating, checked the knife strap tied to his forearm, and sighed - this kind of weapon may be no different from a toy in an air combat environment...... The opponent is an unknown enemy with fighter jets, and it is possible that the weapons used are machine guns and cannons.
At this time, seeing Man Xing get up and walk behind, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in the shadow owl's mind, and he stood up and asked in her direction, "What weapons did you bring?" Can you borrow me if you have a surplus? ”
The female mercenary walked halfway and turned around and looked at him with a look of goodness: "What do you want?" Go ahead. ”
The weapons used by mercenaries are varied. The so-called experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move, and the question that Man Xing throws at this time is to test how professional the other party is in terms of weapons.
Shadow Owl originally wanted to be of some use, but if he didn't, he would improvise on the battlefield. But what the other party meant, it seems that she has a lot of weapons to bring, and there is still room for choice? So he thought for a moment, looked up and said: "The laser rifle with an effective range of more than 1,500 meters is the best, and if you don't have it, a sniper rifle will do." ”
"Oh?" Man Xing raised his eyebrows again, "Will radium-20 be used?" ”
"What's the difference with Radium-17?" Shadow Owl asked rhetorically.
"It makes no difference how you use it. But you......" Man Xing turned his head and continued walking in the direction of the luggage rack, and said, "Why are you so attached to the weapons of 5 or 6 years ago?" Like a nostalgic veteran...... Anyway, 5 or 6 years ago, you were 13 or 4 years old, right? Be an old soul? ”
A single-engine stall aircraft, maneuverability drops dramatically. Although the plane tried its best to avoid the artillery fire, and even used gravity, inertia, and so on, it still could not avoid the fighter's fire, and the fuselage was grazed by shells in many places, and the cabin shook again.
Fortunately, at this time, Man Xing had already picked up the weapon, quickly threw the laser rifle he asked for to Shadow Lord, and casually gave Kevin and Anthony some guns and lightsabers.
"Quick, go to the front cabin!" The mercenary shouted, rushing towards the forward cabin as he took the lead.
Others quickly followed.
The starry wings and legs were used together, and in an instant, they had already rushed through the isolation doors of the front and rear cabins.
The four young masters and young ladies in the front cabin were obviously greatly affected by the mental impact - Zi Yin was so frightened that she curled up in the chair and shivered; Gu Yang's face was solemn; Virgil woke up when the plane was evading, and was actually smoking a cigarette in his mouth; Eliza, the only female member of the team, didn't show any signs of panic, sitting in her seat empty, not knowing what she was thinking.
Man Xing ran to Ziyin's side first and unbuckled his seat belt: "Young Master, prepare to jump off!" ”
"Hop Hop Hop Hop T Zi Yin was so frightened that she stammered, "You let me jump out of such a high place!?" ”
Man Xing patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Young master, you can fly." ”
"I'm ......" Zi Yin hung her head weakly, "I'm afraid of heights......
Shadowlord also ran up to Eliza and found her unbuckled and sat up straight.
"You're going to jump out, aren't you?" Eliza asked, "So what do you do?" ”
"I have a floater." Shadowowl pointed to the backpack on his back, "It's not that mobile, but it'...... I'll protect you anyway. ”
"What do you have ......?"
"Radium-20 laser rifle."
"Huh? Would you shoot more? ”
“…… Second Miss, can you be a little nervous? ”
"Huh?" Eliza blinked meaninglessly.
"Forget it...... Shadowlord sighed and continued, "After one of them jumps, you try to fly to the ground as much as you can." Leave the rest to me. ”
"No problem!" The second lady made a triumphant gesture to him.
While Shadowlord is talking to Eliza, Kevin and Anthony also find their respective masters.
Virgil puffed out his cigarette, got up from his seat and shook his trousers: "It's only 3,000 meters, and the mountains in my hometown are higher than this." ”
Anthony had already walked in front of him, headed for the emergency exit, and when he heard him say this, he turned around and asked, "Do you want a weapon?" ”
"Needless to say!"
Anthony thought for a moment, took out his pistol and threw it to Virgil, holding the lightsaber himself.
Gu Yang, who was sitting side by side with Virgil, saw Kevin coming over, and asked in the first sentence, "What attacked us?" ”
"Huangquan-13, the latest fighter developed by the Windswept Society." Kevin said.
"You mean...... The attacker is someone from the kingdom of Blaze? Gu Yang exclaimed.
"Not sure. Shippu's customers are located all over the world, and hundreds of aircraft are exported to the Empire and the Alliance each year. Therefore, it is not certain that the people of the kingdom are the attackers. ”
"Could it be a mistake?" Gu Yang frowned and said, "We're just a student band, what's the good of attacking us?" ”
"I don't know." Kevin made a 'please' gesture to him, "Everything can only be verified if it is lowered to the ground and the person in charge of the Blaze Kingdom is found." ”
"Yes...... Gu Yang scratched his hair, "Then you have to be able to descend to the ground alive." ”
"Don't worry, no problem." Kevin lifted his coat and carried guns in the holsters on the left and right sides of his waist, "Mr. Admiral sent me to the young master's side in order to deal with this situation." ”
The four of them are all ready, according to Gu Yang's arrangement, the order of jumping is: Man Xing, Anthony, Shadow Owl, Eliza, Gu Yang, Virgil, Ziyin, Kevin.
There are mercenaries with the most combat experience in front to open the way, and there are senior soldiers in the back to press the formation, which is already the most reasonable lineup he can come up with.
"The emergency exit is about to open, the countdown begins!" The captain's voice came over the megaphone again, "Five, four, three, two, one!" ”
The emergency exit is an elapsed door that opens upwards, and at this time the plane has landed at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, and the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the door is not too large. With a loud bang, the hatch opened outward, and the cold wind outside the cabin poured over his face.
The last words came over the loudspeaker: "I wish you all good luck!" "The communication line was cut with a beep.
The captain will then fly the plane out of the airspace to divert the enemy as much as possible, and make sure that the debris from the plane does not affect the passengers who have escaped, before ejecting and escaping with the crew.
"Let's go!" Man Xing jumped out of the cabin with a loud shout, and the two wings covered with the armor shook in the air with a thud.
The first to come out of the capsule must be the target that is set on fire by the enemy first, and Manxing is no exception. However, it was obvious that she was already familiar with this situation, and the moment she spread her wings, it was already a flip, falling straight down, directing the pursuing artillery fire away from the direction of the passenger plane.
Then there was Anthony, Virgil's squire. Due to its location on the plateau, the people of the Duluth region are already tall and sturdy compared to other regions, and Anthony is a strong man selected from this area, with a wingspan almost twice as wide as a full star. After jumping out of the plane and spreading his wings, he instantly became a more eye-catching target than a female mercenary.
Anthony was followed by Shadow Lord.
Compared to the previous two, he was much thinner and not yet a wingman...... I saw that after two winged people jumped out of the plane, a wingless original man suddenly came out, and fanned forward twice with a floating device, and it became a state of almost levitation.
This kind of person is a soy sauce fighter on the battlefield of air combat, and everyone will think so - even if they don't do it, they can't create any threat. So the artillery fire of the enemy planes naturally turned to Manxing and Anthony, ignoring the presence of the Shadow Lord.
After Shadow Owl, Eliza and Gu Yang jumped out of the hatch almost at the same time.
"Go straight down, don't worry about anything else." Gu Yang instructed.
Geji nodded firmly, and together they landed on the distant ground.
Suddenly, the voice of the shadow owl came from everyone's headphones: "There are two enemy planes in total." Huangquan-13 in the direction of 12 o'clock, the other is a military helicopter in the direction of 9 o'clock. ”
"12 o'clock!?" Kevin, who was still in the cabin, was nervous when he heard this, and he didn't care whether the two young masters in front of him were ready, so he pushed them hard from behind, and then jumped out of the cabin door himself.
Almost at the same time, a deafening roar approached from the front. Searing shells streaked through the air, hitting the plane's remaining left engine. The emergency exit was behind the left flank, and shell fragments sliced through the fuselage, tearing a large hideous crack in the door frame, and the outturned hatch was also chopped into a sieve by the debris flying out of the engine smashing. If Kevin hadn't pushed everyone out of the cabin at the last minute, the people who were still standing at the hatch would have been stirred into meat sauce in an instant.
Virgil was not a small timid, but he was still startled by the cold push, plus he was as tall as Anthony, and he almost fell straight to the ground when he got out of the hatch.
"Young master!" Anthony shouted anxiously.
Virgil snorted coldly, and slammed his wings open, steadying himself in the air.
And Zi Yin behind him was already scared stupid. As soon as he jumped out of the hatch in shock, he hurriedly turned around, only to see the passenger plane with both engines destroyed billowing smoke, slamming into the ground in a free-ground position, the fuselage continuing to disintegrate and leaving a large number of Martian fragments in the air.
"Ah——!! This, how can this ......" Zi Yin was so frightened that he couldn't even finish speaking, and his whole body trembled like sifting rice, floating in the air and swaying.
In the next second, the Huangquan-13 fighter plane, which had just swept over the heads of several people, suddenly turned back in a somersault and opened fire on the stalled passenger plane. The cab of the airliner was hit head-on, and the shattered glass was scarlet in an instant; This wave of artillery fire also ignited the fuel tank at the same time, and the remaining fuselage completely disintegrated in a violent explosion.
"Heavenly ...... Ah......" Looking at the plane that he was on a few minutes ago, it suddenly disintegrated into burning pieces and fell to the ground, Purple was shocked, "That, there are still people in there......"
However, just as he was shocked, several beams of light swept past him and shot in the direction of the fighter, and the voice of the stars also sounded in his ears: "Young Master, call Ms. Irina, quick!" There is already a signal at this height! ”
"...... to my mother?" Zi Yin was stunned for a moment before reacting, "That's right! Should call my mom! ”
After that, he quickly dialed a phone number and repeated anxiously: "Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up ......."
Over there, it was a calm and capable middle-aged female voice: "Ziyin? ”
"Mommy, Mom!!" Ziyin howled, "Help! Our plane was blown up!! ”
Kevin held the radium-20 laser rifle given to him by the stars in his hand, and tried to aim at the fighter engine flying in the air, his fingers pulled the trigger, and the laser cannon fire went straight into the sky. The Radium series laser rifles are designed for sniping, so they have an effective range of more than 1,500 meters, and the barrel can be removed for easy portability. But its shortcomings are also obvious - it's a sniper rifle...... If you don't aim well, even a stationary target won't be so easy to hit, let alone use such a sniper rifle to hit the engine of the latest fighter jet in this chaotic scene.
The Radium-20 is theoretically the favorite weapon of the snipers. If this thing weren't aimed at the engine, hitting the surface of the plane would be like a person being bitten by a mosquito, and it would be completely innocuous at all. Kevin fired several shots in quick succession, either hitting the fuselage or grazing the metal casing of the engine and missed. He snorted through his nose, secretly steadied himself, and took aim again.
Suddenly, a blue laser sliced through the edge of his line of sight, chasing the flying fighter plane, and hitting the bezel line on the inside of the engine on the left.
Just one blow was more accurate than the few lasers he had just fired. Kevin turned his head in shock, the only original person in the air was using a floating device to stabilize his body, counteracting the recoil caused by the previous shot, and said lightly: "It's a little shallow......"
In the next second, the second laser flew out of the muzzle of the radium rifle in the Shadow Lord's hand, passed through the opening left behind the hood of the Huangquan-13 for ventilation, and directly hit the inner movement-the fragile spring could not resist the cauterization of the high-temperature laser, and shattered into pieces with a 'pop'. The engine's fan was still spinning, and the cracked metal shards were already exploding inside the engine. Like a passenger plane that had just been hit by its engine, the fuselage of the Huangquan-13 shook suddenly, the left wing began to catch fire, and the speed slowed down suddenly.
At this moment of crisis, Kevin couldn't help but sigh at the accuracy of the shadow master's marksmanship, and quickly pulled the video headset and shouted: "Hit the engine." Full of stars! ”
"Roger!" With a burst of mercenary cheers, the sound of cannonballs breaking through the air sounded from the diagonal rear of Huangquan-13.
Man Xing carried a one-man tall bazooka with armor-piercing shells that could penetrate even the skin of the tank, aimed at the tail of the Huangquan-13 and pulled the trigger.
The enemy fighter shook in the air, as if trying to avoid her trajectory; However, when one side of the engine stalled, the operation of the fuselage would inevitably change, and the desperate avoidance was only a small angle for the plane to pull up to the oblique side. After all, the armor-piercing shell pierced the tail fin, and the enemy plane staggered to the ground.
"...... won?" I don't know who said it in the line.
"Ah, it's finally shot down." Full Star sighed.
"It's not over yet!" The voice of the Shadow Owl resounded in the shared line again. This guy has always had no emotional ups and downs, but this time there was a palpable nervousness in his voice, "The military helicopter at 9 o'clock didn't retreat, it hovered. The hatch was open. ”
Everyone looked in the direction he had spoken, and after the smoke-emitting body of Huangquan-13 was planted, it revealed a military helicopter that had been obscured by it and hovered in the air like a giant black dragonfly.
The helicopter's propellers hummed, and the hatches were already open.
