47. Operation Firefox (8)
The lightning fighter slowly moved under the guidance of a commando and entered the launch channel. Where Major Yang's fighter plane took off, the fighter plane finally stopped. Risen poked his head out of the cockpit and looked back anxiously. The Lightning fighter was ready for takeoff, and was waiting for Captain Taylor to join them up before he could get out of here. As for the school, he had already told Risen through the telegraph two minutes earlier that he was heading towards Hangar No. 2.
"Coming, coming, Captain, Captain Taylor is coming." A commando hurried over to alert him, and behind the commando, Colonel Taylor, supported by a commando, was staggering briskly towards Ryson's lightning fighter.
"Sir." Rector's appearance made Rison feel a pang of horror, his injuries were far less relaxed than he had said in the communication, the messy white bandage wrapped around his right hand from his wrist to his shoulder, a faint red and black scorch mark could be faintly seen, and in addition, the calf of Colonel's left leg was also covered with a thick bandage. Ressen understood that the school's injuries must be quite serious, otherwise the school, who was quite strong-willed, would not give up easily because of a slight injury, so he immediately stood up from the cockpit.
"Captain, you don't need to come down." The Colonel immediately loudly stopped Risen from doing so, and he rushed under the cockpit and vigorously held up a flat, square data box in his left hand, "Take it." ”
Risen carefully took the data box that he had handed over, and he felt a little heavy, but it was not the weight of the data box, but the psychological feeling caused by what it represented. He knew that they had paid so many sacrifices and so many lives today for the things recorded by the round crystal discs inside this data box, and taking over this thing meant that an extremely important responsibility was handed over to him.
"Captain, I'm here to give you one last order." The Colonel grabbed Risen with his left hand and said in a deep voice, "You can't be shot down under any circumstances, and if the situation is extremely critical, or if the shuttle is no longer able to complete its mission, I authorize you to take any action you see fit, as long as you can bring this thing back to the rebel base safely." Do you understand? ”
"Yes, sir." Risen looked at the school's serious eyes and solemnly raised his right hand to his head in salute. For the first time in his life, he felt his own value, and for the first time in his life, he felt that he was so important. For the sake of the school's trust, he had to bring this thing back no matter what.
"Okay, let's take off." Tyler let go of his hand, he read what he wanted to see in the young man's eyes, and he knew he didn't need to say anything more.
The rear hatch of the launch tunnel closed with a slight rumble, and Risen started the engine of the Lightning Starfighter again, and four light blue tail flames violently slammed into the rear of the tail, and the body trembled, just as he felt in the cockpit of the Banshee Fighter, the Lightning Fighter was ready to go, like a wild horse eager to break free......
"Captain, the passage hatch ahead has been opened, and you can take off."
"Understood, school."
The lightning starfighter rushed out of the TA-7 space station in an instant, and as soon as he rushed out of the passage, Ruison immediately found Sonia on the sensor screen. Major Yang's fighters, well, and those Banshee fighters that are making trouble for the Major and the assault ship that is looking for death, it's time to give them some color. He turned the thrust to the fullest, activated the afterburner, and flew towards the battlefield of fierce fighting.......
"Sir, can he do it? With such a heavy burden, I think he is too young, it is better to recall the major and hand it over to her, I am afraid it is more reassuring. One of the commandos looked at the lightning fighter that was departing at high speed and was a little worried.
"There's no time, he has to do it. Don't underestimate him, although he is young, his record is not boastful, if he has no hope of success, I will not hand over this heavy responsibility to him. As if he had done a hard job, he gasped and said, "Are the two remaining lightning bolts ready?" ”
"It's already installed, waiting for your order, guaranteed to blow up thoroughly."
"Okay, now that the core control area has been blown up, there are only these two fighters left, and as soon as we leave the hangar, they will be detonated immediately."
"Understood, sir."
----------------------------------------------
Sonia. Major Yang felt that it was really terrible, and she felt that she could no longer take care of the remaining Imperial assault ship. The Banshee fighter had been entangled with her very tightly after she had destroyed and damaged two Imperial assault ships, and every time she turned the nose of the plane to the assault ship, the rear of the fighter would immediately follow a large array of energy beams, even if the shield strength of the lightning starfighter was indeed very high, it could not withstand such continuous attrition, and the shield behind the fighter had almost been broken through by the energy beam several times. But she couldn't leave that assault ship behind, she didn't know how far Tyler was going, she had to hold it off, if she left the assault ship alone and fought the banshee on her own, and let the assault ship carrying the Imperial Marines break into the space station, then everything they had done before would be in vain.
Just as she was anxious as she watched the assault ship get closer and closer to the space station, suddenly, a series of energy beams suddenly emerged from deep space and continuously hit the side of the assault ship, and the flash of light emitted by the energy beam after intense contact with the assault ship's shield illuminated the assault ship, and the pilot of the assault ship immediately changed direction and fled in the opposite direction of the space station, but how could the clumsy assault ship get rid of the fighter attack? And those Imperial Banshee fighters covering the assault ship were still fighting Major Sonia's Banshee fighters at this time.
"Inazuma Three, I'm Inazuma Four, I'm here to support you." A somewhat familiar voice reached the major's cockpit.
"Thank you, Captain." She breathed a sigh of relief, now that she didn't have to bother with the assault ship, she could focus on the abominable banshees that had been following her all along.
Risen steered the plane to turn the Lightning underneath the assault ship, and although it was his first time flying such a fighter, he felt that the way and habits were similar to those he had on the Banshee. There is no doubt that the company designed this fighter with the Banshee fighter in mind so that one day the conversion flight would not have to be so troublesome.
He clasped the plane, firing at full power, and the beams of the four phased array laser guns and the two detached guns hit the trembling assault ship one after another, and the evasion of the assault ship was of no avail, and the four Banshee fighters immediately abandoned Sonia's lightning fighters to rush to support, but they were really a little far away from the assault ship. Just as Risen was about to pull the lightning fighter away from the approaching Imperial assault ship, a bright flash suddenly exploded in front of him, and the assault ship exploded, turning into a large fireball in space.
"Forty-one, no, this is the first one." Risen was silent for a few seconds, then whispered the two numbers in his mind. The assault ship he shot down was a true Imperial ship, a watershed moment that meant that his battle with the Empire had just begun. In a trance, he was a little sad, these people who died in his hands were his former colleagues, and his New London hut, I am afraid that it will never be possible to go back in the future, he suddenly wondered, who is the successor of the hut?
"Well played, Inazuma Four. Be careful, four enemy planes are flying towards you, azimuth zero zero five, hold on, I'll cover you. The Major's voice of encouragement and reminder reached his ears. She was a little worried about her partner, who faced four enemy aircraft, which would have been difficult to cope with if it were not for a skilled and excellent pilot. She believes that Risson's strength lies in maintenance and maintenance, and she doesn't dare to expect too much from driving skills.
"Understood, Inazuma Three." Risen turned the plane to the four Banshee fighters and rushed towards them.
The sound of the alarm came at the same time as a large series of beams flying in front of them, the beams of the enemy aircraft and the missiles were launched at the same time, and several small yellow dots representing missiles appeared in front of them, which were four image recognition missiles, and the enemy tried to deal with the lightning fighter that had not been able to shoot down the previous one, which made them feel frightened, but unfortunately, they estimated the enemy in front of them too low.
Having had so many battles that Risen was now quite proficient in how to deal with such an attack, he pushed the thrust lever to the end, activated the afterburner, and the lightning fighter slammed forward and upward, throwing a series of decoys behind the fuselage, and several missiles immediately missed by his fighter plane, chasing after the bait.
"Major, go down." After his lightning fighter and the four banshees staggered, he ignored the enemy planes that were turning, and rushed straight towards the Sonia fighters that were rushing to support him, of course, his target was not the major, but the two banshees who were chasing the major's fighters, and far away, he put an enemy plane rushing in front into the aiming circle.
Although it was the first time she and Risen had partnered, the Major was not ambiguous as an ace starfighter pilot, and as soon as Risen spoke, she quickly guessed what his partner wanted to do. As soon as the Major's nose deflected downward to get out of the way, Risen opened fire, this time using the synchronous grain cannon above the back, a powerful weapon that even battleships feared.
Generally speaking, synchronous grain cannons are not used to deal with fighters, because the rate of fire is slow, the energy consumption is high, and the particle beam speed is not fast, although it is powerful, it is difficult to hit highly flexible fighters, but it wastes a lot of energy, and also affects the energy storage and launch of other cannons. But Rissen's lightning fighter and the banshee fighter were almost in the same straight line, and they flew in opposite directions at high speed, although the particle beam was slow, but with this relative speed, as soon as the particle beam came out of the gun, it was already in front of the pilot of the banshee fighter in an instant.
"No", the Imperial pilot looked at the white light shining in front of him, and just before he could shout, the powerful particle beam had already pierced through the front shield of the Banshee Fighter, turning the pilot, his cockpit, and his Banshee Fighter into countless high-temperature metal shards.
Looking at the big fireball that appeared behind her, Sonia. Major Yang couldn't express the surprise in her heart, his partner really gave her a big surprise, just from the mastery of the timing of the attack, the skillful action of dodging missiles, and the creative use of the weapons of the fighter she piloted for the first time, she judged that her new partner was definitely a very good starfighter pilot, and his skills in piloting the starfighter were completely comparable to that of Captain Taylor, and even better, even compared to her, it was estimated that it would not be much worse.
In addition to being delighted, she was a little puzzled, he had such good technology, and he was proficient in aircraft maintenance and maintenance, he was really much stronger than Captain Hawke, and it stands to reason that he should be the first to be selected as a Firefox pilot. But why did even Captain Hawke enter the ranks of the operatives early, and he waited until the last days of the operation to be finally notified by Captain Clark? It felt like he couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he temporarily pulled one to make up the numbers, so that he doubted his partner's driving skills for a long time.
Thinking of Captain Hawke, the major suddenly realized that it seemed that a long time had passed, why hadn't he seen the third and fourth lightning fighters leave the space station?
