Chapter 201: Pursuit and Counter-Pursuit
The gravity doors at the dock entrances of the Redfish were opened, and more than a dozen space tanks and two small combat boats flew out of it, leaning on both sides of the Redfish, lined up, staring at the oncoming target.
More than a dozen space tanks, two small combat ships, and the behemoth-like Redfish looked very scary, but Jiang Ping knew that this was just a rabble, and they could only scare and scare people who didn't know the details.
Many of these space tanks were piloted by explorers recruited by the expedition. Some of these explorers had never even operated a spaceship, let alone an armed spaceship like a Space Tank.
Jiang Ping suspected that they might not even be able to find the firing port of the weapon, and if they could successfully shoot the shells out of the cannon at that time, it would be considered to have exceeded the task, let alone let them cooperate and shoot accurately.
But in any case, so many armed spaceships lined up are still quite deterrent to ordinary civilian merchant ships. Under the unclear details, ordinary civilian merchant ships saw this situation, and under normal circumstances, they obediently raised the white flag and surrendered.
Jiang sat there quietly, his eyes fixed on the screen on the radar. Judging from the data displayed on the radar screen, the opponent's target is constantly approaching here.
This situation, naturally, made the Redfish expedition happy. Although it is still unknown the origin and identity of the spaceship in front of it, judging from various circumstances, the spaceship in front of it is the target of their "revenge hunting" operation nine times out of ten, another gold ship of Simmons Company.
The other party did not run away, but threw himself into the net, which is naturally a good phenomenon.
But Jiang Ping couldn't help but have a few doubts in his heart at this moment. It stands to reason that if the other party is vigilant enough, he should have discovered these spaceships of his own side at this moment, even if he does not escape, he should not be so indifferent, and he still rushes straight over as a blind eye, at least he must send a contact message to confirm the origin and identity of the other party's spaceship.
But now the situation is. It was as if the other party had not seen the Redfish spacecraft in front of them at all. It's really like a rabbit, ignorant and straight to it.
This kind of situation makes people see it, and they can't help but feel a little weird.
At first, Merriv, Oliver and the others were very happy, but later, they also felt that something was wrong.
The so-called abnormality is a demon, and there must be something strange in it.
Come to think of it. Merif, who was standing on the command platform, suddenly sank his face, and ordered the spaceship's communicator: "Immediately contact the spaceship in front, ask them to stop moving, open the hatch and surrender!" ”
The Redfish's messenger quickly carried out her instructions, making contact with the oncoming ship and relaying Merrif's orders.
After receiving a message from the Redfish. The spaceship on the opposite side obediently stopped moving forward and stopped, and at this time, the distance between the two sides was already very close.
Moreover, the gravity doors of several docks of the opposing spaceship were really opened, as if they had accepted the other party's orders unconditionally, the only difference was that the white flag symbolizing surrender was not displayed.
This is indeed a Simmons gold ship. At least from the outside. It's the same as the Redfish.
Seeing the other party's obedience, Mereve breathed a sigh of relief. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, what happened next took all of them by surprise.
I saw that from the open dock mouth of the large spaceship opposite, one after another space tanks began to drive out one after another, one after another, neatly and orderly arranged in the surrounding airspace, to the back, the space tanks lined up in the air reached as many as forty or fifty, and the main gun muzzles of all the space tanks were aimed at the direction of the Red Fish in front.
What kind of gold carrier is this, it's simply a troop carrier!
Of course, because the distance between the two sides is still very far, the people on the Redfish can't see this, but the dense black dots displayed on the radar screen are tantamount to informing everyone of this.
Looking at the dense black dots that suddenly appeared on the screen, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and their faces turned pale.
Fooled!
Almost all of them have such a thought in their hearts.
"Woo-woo-"
The radar sirens on the spacecraft rang out sharply and violently, and the sirens continued one after another, indicating that the spacecraft had been locked on by multiple radar targets.
At this time, the spaceship's communicator also beeped, and the communicator standing on the side subconsciously pressed the application to agree to the connection, only to see the communicator screen flash, and the avatar of a federal captain appeared on the screen.
"The spaceship in front, we are the 120th Brigade of the Seventh Sector of the Federation Interstellar Garrison, you are surrounded, quickly lay down your arms, surrender unconditionally, repeat, we are ......"
"Smack-"
The screen goes black and the connection is interrupted. It turned out to be Merreve, who was the commander, and had already disconnected the call. At this moment, Merreve's expression was full of anger, mania, and anger, and she only heard her shouting angrily: "Fire, fire, shoot me immediately!" ”
Most of the people on the Redfish were her henchmen, who were fairly well trained, and after receiving her orders, they immediately carried them out meticulously.
However, after the gunner started to operate step by step, he found that the ship's weapon energy power system seemed to be out of order, and no matter how you operated, there was no response.
What's going on? These people looked at each other for a moment, and they were all dumbfounded.
How could they have imagined that this was Jiang Ping's secret trick, and Sigan secretly drilled into the main brain of the spaceship and closed all the interfaces of the weapon system.
Hearing that the weapon system of the spaceship suddenly failed, Mereve was even more furious, her eyes breathed fire, and she shouted angrily: "You rice buckets, useless things, give me one by one to die!" ”
Oliver stepped forward quickly at this time and persuaded: "Miss, it seems that we have fallen for the trick of the federal army, we can't defeat them, for the sake of today's plan, it is better to escape first." ”
Although Mereve was in a state of rage, she had not lost her mind, and after a moment's thought, she decided: "Well, that's all. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order to Jiang Ping in the cockpit: "Mr. Sugimoto, now I order you, turn around immediately and flee in a boat." ”
Jiang Ping hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about those people outside?" ”
Mereve said impatiently: "Don't worry about it, I order you, escape immediately!" ”
Most of the people in the space tank outside were the original greedy wolf Peter's subordinates and recruited explorers, and it was important to escape at the moment, and Mereve couldn't care about taking them with her.
Jiang Ping didn't say anything more, immediately turned the bow of the boat and began to speed up to escape.
On the other side of the starry sky, inside the large spaceship, the radarman reported to the commander of the command module: "Sir, the enemy ship is fleeing, and in addition, there are more than a dozen space tanks left. ”
A hint of ridicule flashed on the commander's face, and he said, "Want to escape? They can't escape. The ships of the base will soon arrive in this airspace, laying a net waiting for them. ”
After a pause, he ordered in a deep voice: "The third squadron stays, guards those space tanks, and if they resist, they will be annihilated on the spot!" The rest of the people immediately boarded the ship and followed me after the great ship that had escaped! ”
At the sound of the order, most of the space tanks outside began to fly back to the spaceship, and the spacecraft began to accelerate again, and pursued closely in the direction of the fleeing Redfish.
At this moment, the spaceship's communicator received a strange signal, and after translating it, his expression changed suddenly, and he immediately reported it to the spaceship commander, Captain, and said, "Sir, there is a situation!" ”
The commander took the telegram he handed over, took it in his hand and looked at it, his face couldn't help but change, and he said in a lost voice: "What, on the other party's spaceship, there are two undercover agents from the base?" ”
He put the telegram in his hand and ordered the correspondent in a deep voice, "You immediately contact the Pegasus base to verify the contents of the telegram. ”
The correspondent answered, turned and went to execute.
The telegram received by the spacecraft was naturally sent by Jiang Ping on the Red Fish. He didn't want to be wronged to be buried with Mereve and the others, so he used his sense of thought to control the communication system of the Redfish, and secretly sent such a telegram to the spacecraft that followed closely.
"Damn it, you ran so fast!"
The commander and captain stared at the radar screen in front of him and cursed uncontrollably.
He found that after his spaceship chased closely for such a while, the distance between the two sides not only did not decrease, but tended to get bigger and bigger.
"On the other side's ship, it seems that there is a very experienced spaceship pilot." The first mate of the spaceship next to him frowned and said in a deep voice.
The commander turned to the shippilot in the wheelhouse next to him and couldn't help but roar loudly, "What are you doing to eat, you can't even compare to a pirate spaceship pilot!" Catch up with me, if you let the other party's boat escape, I'll skin you!" ”
The spaceship that the pursuers are now on is an ordinary civilian merchant ship, just like the Redfish, not those faster cruisers, destroyers, or other fast ships, so it is reasonable that they can't catch up with the Redfish in front.
Although they have already informed the Pegasus base of the information here, it is believed that the base will soon send ships to reach this airspace through space jumps. However, the space jump requires a certain amount of preparation and charging time, and more importantly, the error of the space jump is very large, if it is not a coincidence, the deviation distance may take several days, and ten days of navigation can make up for it.
It is precisely because of this that the commander and captain are so eager to catch up with the Redfish that is biting ahead, so as to ensure that the Redfish will not escape before the ships at the base arrive. (To be continued.) )
