Chapter Seventy-Seven: Air Combat
"What's next?"
After the aviation tactical engine lifted off, Ellie said to Huang Zhi through an encrypted communication channel.
"Let's take a look for the time being, after all...... The situation in the air has to be determined before we can absolutely wait for what to do. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Huang Zhi slowly replied to Ellie.
"In the air, we may only be able to barely balance the situation, and neither side can fully control the air supremacy...... In the follow-up advance, the Red Ghost Air tactical strike cruiser can be used to support the rear, and direct support may not be feasible. ”
Ellie looked at the map and said slowly to Huang Zhi.
"Wait a minute, organize a frontal feint, and let Ava and a few other H3 thunder shocks stand by and wait for Lin Xiaomeng to come out to attack or directly attack the base, what do you think?"
Huang Zhi looked at the electronic sand table and thought for a while, and said to Ellie, as a D-level commander, Ellie's command strength must be above Huang Zhi, and it seems that she is also good at command in the battle at the company level.
"No...... Although Lin Xiaomeng's own combat ability is not very high, she can deal with three or four of us H3 Thunder Shock alone, and she can also hold out for a while in the face of Ava, and we don't know what the mecha she is driving is, and she also has a lot of powerful operators under her, and the heavy fortress of the base ...... Without the support of the artillery mechs and the Red Ghost-class aviation tactical strike cruisers, the firepower of the thunder and 3H thunder shocks alone may not be enough......"
After Ellie raised her head and thought about it for a while, she immediately replied to Huang Zhi and said, this battle is mainly handed over to Ellie to command, but there is no way to do it, after all, Ellie and Lin Xiaomeng have long been old rivals, so they naturally know more.
"Let's wait for the boys in the air to exchange fire, now wait for ......"
Immediately afterward, Ellie couldn't help but pout her mouth and looked in the direction of a group of tactical planes that had long since disappeared.
……
……
……
"Be on your guard, we should be on contact with the enemy soon...... All cheered up, boys. ”
A male operator connected to the entire tactical aircraft glanced at his radar data and couldn't help but say to his companion in the encrypted tunnel.
“…… Captain, I'm a woman. ”
Immediately after, a weak female voice came into the man's ears, as if she was dissatisfied with the man's wrong words.
"That's it, I'm a girl too! Captain, what you just said is a sick sentence! ”
Immediately after, another energetic voice continued to speak to the man through the communication channel, and the man was a little embarrassed for a moment, and then continued: "Tsk, forget it...... Prepare for battle. ”
The F-E3 aviation tactical mecha piloted by the man has a different livery from the other three, and the other three F-E3 mecha are all sky blue paints, and ordinary people can't even see these three mecha clearly if they don't look carefully, while the F-E3 mecha piloted by this man is a very beautiful blue-gray livery with some things attached to the body, which looks a little more advanced.
The man's name is Lai Cheng, and he is the strongest air combat operator under Ellie, and the operator rating is D, although it seems to be a grade lower than Ava's C-level strength, but after all, this is an air combat type operator level, and the way of rating is different from that of land combat, so the two sides cannot be compared simply by rank and combat effectiveness.
"Huh? Watch out! ”
Suddenly, Lai Cheng, who was leading the other three people under his command, suddenly found that a very faint beam of light appeared in front of him, but he immediately reacted, and the alarm attached to the mecha in the next second also suddenly sounded, and immediately he directly modified the spray direction of the thruster and flashed straight to the left, and two seconds later, a shuttle of energy bullets passed by!
"Fire! Fire! The whole machine shoots freely, pay attention to cooperate with one person to contain one! I'm in charge of pinning down the other party's captain! ”
"Understood!"
Suddenly, Lai Cheng immediately controlled the mecha to operate the mechanical arm with two cannons hanging on his back, and immediately the two cannons appeared under the armpits of the mecha's arms, and with the two cannons in his hand and the two energy cannons on his shoulder, it was a ferocious vitality output!
"Bang!"
"Puff puff!"
The hideous energy machine gun and live gun are ferociously strafing the front, although the temporary physical bullet is not very good for the local mecha, but it is still necessary to organize a fire network, and Lai Cheng only brought a live gun with him, and the other three machine guns are all energy machine guns.
"Whew-"
And then, with the appearance of a roaring energy annihilation missile, four mecha completely different from the F-E3 piloted by Lai Cheng and others suddenly appeared in front of Lai Cheng and others, and they were also firing at full power, sitting in the air with various maneuvers that could almost make people collapse, and counterattacking while dodging the opponent's fire attack.
These four mechs with several distinct acute angles on the appearance of the aircraft are called ER2III and painted in pitch black, which is the same name as the F-E3.
F-E3 and ER2III are the most elite airframes in the five generations of tactical aircraft in terms of fuselage (although there are not too many types of tactical aircraft as land fighters), among them, F-E3 pays more attention to the reaction ability of the airframe, real-time maneuvering and fire control ability, the fire output of four machine guns plus two shoulder guns will not occupy or affect the operator's computing resources too much, so it can also maintain sufficient accuracy, while ER2III is more focused on defense and speed, compared with F-E3, Although the ER2III only has the output of five guns, the relative speed and defense are much higher than the F-E3, and the F-E3 can also evade the opponent's attack by changing its posture in an instant by virtue of its own maneuvering ability.
"Humph! Come on, come on! Feng Jiao! ”
Lai Cheng sat on a variety of extremely strange maneuvers to avoid the attack of the ER2III captain plane on Lin Xiaomeng's side, and the two captain planes met without saying anything, Lai Cheng relied on the F-E3's instant reaction ability to dodge the attack from ER2III in the unknown channel, and ER2III has been entangled with Lai Cheng with his jaw-dropping speed and defensive ability.
Lai Cheng shouted the name of the operator who was piloting the captain ER2III, and his face was filled with endless desire to fight.
Lai Cheng and the two operators named Feng Jiao have the same relationship as Ellie and Lin Xiaomeng, both of them are mortal enemies, and the two sides don't know how many times they have competed in the road, even if there is no machine battle, the two of them even continue to simulate confrontation in their spare time, today's battle can be said to be a battle between mortal enemies and mortal enemies.
Not to be honest, in the dark, many air combat operators looked at Lai Cheng and Feng Jiao, and they all felt that they were not fighting to determine the level...... Well, it's more like ...... Decide who will attack and who will suffer?
Ahem...... It's really not nonsense, and the author also knows that he shouldn't say such things when he's so serious, but it's true that these two guys have been working against each other since they were created, but when the other party is in trouble, someone can't help but give each other a little help...... Many people are thinking that these two guys are actually not a tsundere, and they have been holding back and confessing to each other, so they have to keep fighting, fighting, fighting, and fighting...... (Lai Chengnan, Feng Jiaonu, the author thinks you should all understand)
"Bang bang bang!"
The hideous muzzle of the cannon continued to spit out ferocious firepower, and ER2III had no chance to get close to it under the extremely ferocious firepower of F-E3, but it also continued to use its high-speed advantage to keep firing near F-E3 and constantly firing for opportunities, and the two sides continued to go back and forth for five or six minutes, but the energy shields of both sides were still faint blue.
This is not to say that the accuracy of both sides is very poor, on the contrary, the ability of both sides to dodge bullets is too strong, one relies on high-speed dodge and the other relies on the extremely flexible instantaneous maneuver, and it seems that both sides have no way to take each other for a while!
"Tsk, that's a hassle......"
Lai Cheng and the girl named Feng Jiao couldn't help frowning, after all, both of them were old opponents, so they were naturally very familiar with each other's actions, and naturally simulated the scene of the confrontation several times in their minds before the fight, but no matter how much they simulated the confrontation, the two sides were still entangled, but on the other hand, they were not so entangled with these two people.
The situation of the remaining three ER2III and F-E3 is good or bad, each tactical aircraft has found its own opponent, some can give full play to the performance of the airframe, and some are more reluctant, but this is not forced, after all, except for the two operators like Lai Cheng and Feng Jiao, who are constantly honing themselves and reaching the D level, it is basically difficult for the operators below the D level to give full play to the ability of the tactical machine, by the way, the real strength of these two people is close to the C level.
However, as time passed, the other three mechs were no longer fighting against one, but gathered into a squad to fight, and immediately after, the other three tactical planes on both sides also joined the battle.
It was the later aviation tactical assault plane that decided to join the battle when it saw the unexpected entanglement of the battle in the air, after all, there was no way, if the air was so entangled, the troops on the road would also be entangled.
