XXXII. Manslaughter
A banshee-type starfighter with a long black smoke at the tail swept low across the Imperial line, staggering towards the rear of the Imperial line, looking at the posture, it seemed that it would hit the ground at any moment and become shattered, so that all the soldiers who witnessed it sweated for it, and the Imperial soldiers who were closer enough to see it were shocked to find that the front landing gear of the fighter plane was actually lowered, and there seemed to be an object like a human figure hanging on it.
Since Schneier was hanging from the unprotected landing gear, Resson didn't dare to fly the Banshee too fast, the strong air currents could have swept his friend away, and the only engine left of the Banshee didn't seem to be in good shape, so he didn't dare to overload the engine. However, Risen doesn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes now, and the banshee without a shield can survive the attack of the Federation's anti-air beam cannon, which is already the greatest favor from God.
"Thunderbird 11, I'm Thunderbird 7, I've seen you, kid, it doesn't seem like you're in a good situation." As Risen struggled to control the plane, a voice entered his cockpit.
"Thank goodness you're all right, Schneier was shot down, but we were lucky enough to get him out before the Federation killed him, and he's now hanging on the landing gear of my plane." Risen was pleased to see that the other two Banshee fighters were all right, and they were approaching his plane from his left.
"I saw it. Hey, I said, you're amazing, you were able to snatch him out of the Confederacy, and the duck in his mouth was still flying, and the faces of those fellows in the Federation must be very unsightly now. ”
"We were just lucky, and we almost didn't see my fighter? What is the situation of the enemy forces in front of you? ”
"The enemy retreated, leaving behind a pile of wreckage, but I don't think they'll be willing to be defeated by a few fighters."
"Maybe." Ruisen thought for a moment, and then continued, "Thunderbird Seven, now you and Thunderbird Eight are responsible for carrying out the ground support mission to the 712th Armored Regiment, and continue to return to the original airspace to standby, leaving us alone. ”
"Are you sure? I think it's better to escort you to safety first, where are you going to land? Your fighter can't pass through the atmosphere like this. ”
"We're fine, don't worry. Now we are in the rear of the Imperial front, there is no danger, there is a small village ten kilometers ahead, the regimental headquarters of the 712th Panzer Regiment is located there, I plan to land the banshee there, wait for rescue, you continue to carry out the order. ”
"Understood, good luck to both of you, I will notify the rescue plane to pick you up immediately."
"Thank you, and good luck to you, and be careful, there are enemy planes in the air. Thunderbird 11, over. ”
The two Banshee fighters raised their noses, accelerated away, and flew towards the airspace where they had been standby, and after Risen watched the two companions leave, he cast his eyes ahead, and in the middle of the lush woods in the distance, several small red and white houses disappeared from his field of vision, and it should be the small village. Although there is a small military base about 100 kilometers ahead, Risen does not dare to fly that far, who knows what will happen to the banshee?
As the banshee fighters got closer and closer to the village, the humming sound of the engine alarmed the Imperial troops stationed in the village, and one by one the officers and soldiers in woodland camouflage uniforms walked out of the room, casting their eyes in the direction from which the sound came, and when they saw it clearly, they also opened their mouths wide.......
Ruissen glanced at the village, there was really no suitable place for the banshee to land, he had to choose a small clearing outside the village, although the woods next to it were very obstructive to landing, but Ruissen estimated that although this clearing was very narrow, it was well controlled, and it was not a problem to accommodate his banshee-style fighters, and the Imperial soldiers scattered in the village had surrounded this clearing from all sides.
The fighter plane slowly landed in a piece of flying dust, although his friend hung on the landing gear and was blown by the wind for a long time, his eyes were almost unable to open, but when the fighter was about to touch the ground, he reacted quickly and let go and rolled to the side, as soon as Risen felt the wheels of the fighter touch the ground, he immediately turned off the left engine, quickly opened the cockpit canopy, and jumped out of the cockpit of the fighter.
"Hey man, I really don't know what to say, you saved my life, I won't forget,." His friend rushed up to him and hugged him tightly.
"It's okay, the next time it's my turn to eject, don't forget about me."
"I won't forget. WOW, check this out? Rissen, can it still fly? It's incredible. Schneier let go of Risen and looked at his plane, full of amazement. Risen looked at the tail of the plane, indeed as his friend said, the right tail of the two tail fins has been missing more than half, and only half of the right engine vent is still there, and there are traces of being scorched and scorched by the energy beam everywhere nearby, and some structures have been melted into a large piece, Risen estimates that it will take a considerable amount of man-hours to repair her, and it may be more convenient to replace a new fighter directly.
............
As they spoke, the Imperial soldiers in the village had already gathered around, and an Imperial Colonel pushed through the crowd and stepped forward. The rank of colonel? Risen estimated that he should be the commander of the 712th Armored Regiment.
"Sir." The two men quickly stood side by side and raised their hands in salute.
The Colonel took a closer look at the two Imperial pilots in combat flight suits, glanced at them a few times, and then turned his gaze to Risson's plane, and when he saw the tulips in the nose and the large row of crash records under the cockpit canopy, the Colonel's face couldn't help but become solemn.
"Take a break. Lieutenant, what's your name? The colonel finally spoke.
"Rise. Nigaul, sir, he's my wingman, Second Lieutenant Schneier. ”
"Well, Lieutenant, I'm grateful for your support in thwarting the Federation's attack, and now, if there's anything you need our help with, you're welcome, just say?" The colonel's tone was very polite.
"Yes, sir, my request is very simple, you see, my wingman was shot down by an enemy plane, my Banshee fighter plane was also badly damaged, the rescue plane is already on its way here, we just want to borrow your place for a while, by the way to give my friend some simple bandaging, his hand is slightly injured, maybe we will have to use the communication facilities when the rescue plane arrives, I hope you can allow it."
"What's this, it's easy." The Colonel laughed, and he turned his head, "Lando, come here." ”
"Yes, Captain." An officer with the rank of lieutenant ran over.
"Take these two brave pilots to the doctor's and have them bandaged, and then you will accompany them, take them around, rest for a while, and entertain our guests."
The colonel turned his head again and said a little apologetically, "Lieutenant, I still have to command the defensive operation, so I won't accompany you, just ask Lando for anything, and he will help you solve it." ”
"Thank you, sir." To be honest, Risen didn't dare to count on the Colonel to accompany him, and if the Colonel did do that, he would feel very uncomfortable, which was just right......
----------------------------------------------
"This place is so conspicuous, I can see this village from a distance in the sky, aren't you afraid that enemy planes will come to bomb you?" Risen asked Lando as he walked, Schneier followed him, his hand was not seriously injured, and it was quickly bandaged with a white bandage, and Landor saw that the two pilots had no intention of resting, so he acted as a guide and took them to visit the headquarters of the 712th Armored Regiment.
"Don't worry about this, this is just an illusion, the regimental headquarters is not really stationed in the village, our real command structure is located in the shelter near the village, and there are air defense companies stationed around, and there are many villagers from the former Heinison here, which can play the role of a human shield, so that the Federation does not dare to bomb at will......" Lieutenant Lando also noticed the unusual downfall record on the Banshee fighter, so he didn't hide it from Ressen.
Human shield? Risen frowned, the word didn't sound very comfortable.
"Let go of me, you brute....." Just as they reached the periphery of a small courtyard, a shrill female voice came from the courtyard, followed by a clear slap.
"Damn, toast and don't eat and drink, brothers, take her for Lao Tzu, I don't believe I can't deal with it........"
"It's ......" Risen was stunned and turned his head to Lieutenant Lando, only to see a look of disgust on the lieutenant's face.
"Leave this alone, let's get out of here." Lieutenant Lando said with a gloomy face.
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of the woman's struggle, a scream came from the courtyard again, "Ah.... It hurts me to death, stinky bastard, dare to bite my ear with your mouth, I'll let you die......"
Chirp, after two slight sounds, the sound fell silent all of a sudden, and the faces of Resson, Schneier, and Lieutenant Lando all changed, and they naturally could hear that those two sounds were the sounds of the energy gun, what was going on inside, do you still need to ask?
Risen burst into flames, he just wanted to take action, but he didn't expect his friend Schneier to be faster than him, kicked open the gate of the courtyard, rushed in, Risen immediately followed, Lieutenant Lando wanted to stop it too late, he cursed hatefully, and followed.
In the courtyard, Ruisson stared blankly at the ground, the body of a young woman was lying in the middle of the courtyard, staring at the sky with godless eyes, there were still a few bright red blood stains left on the side of his mouth, the placket was wide open, faintly revealing a towering snow white on his chest, and on the soft lower abdomen, there were two conspicuous black marks, which were caused by the energy gun, and the culprit, a young major officer, was grinning and covering his ears with his hands, and drops of blood dripped all the way down from his fingers, An energy pistol was placed on a stool beside him. Five or six Imperial soldiers were surrounding him, scrambling to pull bandages and hemostatic powder from his body. Somehow, Risen felt a wave of disgust at the sight of this sloppy guy.
"What? Lando, where did you get two helpers? What do you want to do? The major looked up in a big way, ignoring the anger in Yu Ruison and Schneier's eyes, and asked defiantly.
"Let's go, let's go, you can't control this matter, even the colonel can't do anything about him, beat him up, and that woman won't survive." Lando tugged at Risen and Schneier hard, and whispered, "Don't forget, he's a major, and if you don't want to be demoted for beating up a senior officer, it's not worth it for this bastard." ”
"Schneier, go." Risen tried his best to suppress his anger, the lieutenant was right, it wasn't worth it. However, this is definitely not over, and I will have to ask who that bastard is, and he will have to complain to his superiors.
"Scum." Schneier spat hatefully on the ground and turned to walk out the door.
"What? Did you rush in as a hero just now, and now run away like a dog with her tail between your legs? I wonder if you're a man, and if you have a kind of fight, you'll come up and compete. From the mouth of the major came a strange tune of yin and yang.
"I rely on your mother, Lao Tzu will kill you even if he is demoted." Schneier roared angrily, turned his head and threw himself at the major, and slammed his fist into it, and the Imperial soldiers next to him immediately blocked the major and blocked Schneier's fist.
"Call me, hit this kid so much that he doesn't even recognize his mother." The major scolded as he stepped back.
With the major's words, five or six soldiers swarmed up, and around Schneier was a burst of punches and kicks, and Risen hurried to help. But as the saying goes, there are no more people than a good man, don't look at these two people in the air are good hands, but compared with these land units, it is still much worse, after a while, the two of them don't know how many punches they have received, and their faces are full of bruises and scars. Lieutenant Lando did not dare to step forward, so he had to rush to the major and constantly plead and persuade.......
Risen was beaten to the ground again, he barely opened his swollen eyes, and vaguely saw that the major not far in front of him was triumphantly pointing his hands and feet, and the hot blood rushed to his head, he could no longer control his sanity and calmness at this time, he struggled to stand up, knocked away an imperial soldier who surrounded him, and rushed towards the major, and hit the major with his head on the major's lower abdomen.
Tom, the major was slammed backwards by his hard thrust, and he felt a sharp pain in the back of his heart, and a pointed stick, which had been placed in the corner of the wall and intended to be used as a fence, pierced through his back and out of his chest. The Major looked at the bloody tip on his chest in disbelief, he couldn't believe that he would die at the hands of this little lieutenant. He barely reached out and pointed at Resson.
"You.... You.... You're unexpectedly.... Dare.... Kill.... Kill me? You know.... I... I... Surname.... What is the last name.... Is it? I... I... Surname... History... Steve, I... I... Uncle .... Will give me... Vengeance, little ... Boy, I... Wait.... You. ”
The major took his last breath.
Everyone was stunned, those few Imperial soldiers had already stopped, and they didn't know what to do now? Risen doesn't know what to do? All he knew was that he might be in a big mess, he wasn't prepared for it, they didn't want to kill anyone, even if that guy was a bastard, so both sides had not used weapons all this time. But now, it's still dead, and it's a major who died in his own hands. To make matters worse, what the guy said before he died.
Steve, that's the surname of the head of the Galactic Empire, Risen understands, this major must have something to do with the head of the empire, otherwise, Lieutenant Lando would not dare to be angry with the major's nonsense, and even said that the colonel can't even control it.
How is he good? Ressen was at a loss.
