62. It is not as cost-effective to shoot down as to injure
"This idiot! Does he think he's invincible? Zhang Xiaojing looked at the lightning starfighter in front of her with annoyance, and kept cursing the big idiot sitting inside, this guy is dead, forget it, he regrets not promising Fei Lun to bring him back, it seems that he can't fulfill this promise today.
She couldn't help but think of the topics she had discussed with her sisters before, and many girls reported that the male pilots who went out with them often changed their cautious and cautious style in the past, and it seemed that the male hormones in the body were stimulated, becoming violent, impulsive, hot-headed, and easy to behave, and the result was often to make fatal mistakes and end up with a crash. There is a word that can describe this reflection well, that is, the sperm worm on the brain, she thinks that this Risen is probably also guilty of this problem, and she really can't bear to see Risen end up in the same fate.
But she can't help it now, the position he holds as the squad leader is decided by herself, and now this bastard deliberately pretends not to hear no matter how she shouts, she gritted her teeth hatefully, if Resson is in front of her, she wants to use him to grind her teeth well, but now, she has no choice but to call the other girls to follow her and chase after Ressen at maximum speed.
The two groups of fighters facing each other got closer and closer, and the Imperial Banshee-type escort fighter group had also turned on the afterburner, leaving behind the slower dagger attack aircraft, and accelerated head-on, and soon entered the range of missile attacks. As Risen expected, six or seven small yellow bright spots immediately appeared on the sensor screen of the lightning starfighter, and the alarm sounded.
The empire is still like this, Risen is a little disappointed, knowing that missiles have a limited effect at long distances, and they are easy to be harassed and deceived by gan, and the enemy planes also have plenty of time to evade, but they still stick to the convention, and they don't know how to save and master the timing of use, after all, they are outnumbered, and they don't need to save any missiles.
He pulled the joystick down, and the nose of Lightning's plane jerked upward, as he had done countless evasive maneuvers before, and a large string of decoys dropped behind the fuselage, all of which were chased by missiles far away from his plane.
Successfully tricked into the missile, he flipped the plane, which rolled in a complex spiral curve towards the closing Imperial Banshee swarm, which had to be dealt a head-on blow as quickly as possible, and then to pick up the daggers that had fallen slightly behind.
His actions were successful, the pilots of the Imperial Banshee fighter could not aim at this fighter plane rushing towards them frantically, on their onboard aiming computer, the enemy plane's shooting deviation ran very fast, even the computer on the plane could not keep up, the aiming circle flickered east and west, left and right, and finally waited for the aiming circle to coincide with the enemy plane, but often did not wait for the Imperial pilot to fire, and the aiming circle did not know where to run, and was lucky to hit the energy beam of the lightning starfighter, But instead of those beams that are fired without aiming, it's just that the probability of such a shot hitting is really not guaranteed.
"It's beautiful." Zhang Xiaojing was a little stunned, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, she can do this kind of complex flying skills herself, but if she is as smooth and skilled as Ruisen, without a trace of reluctance, she can't do it, in the Blue Angels, maybe only Captain Sonia, maybe there is also Fei Ren, can do this.
It was too late, it was too late, and Risson's fighter plane quickly rushed into the middle of the Imperial fighter group, and the effect was beyond his expectations, he barely hit many energy beams, and the strength of the shield on the outside of the lightning fighter remained above fifty percent. With this successful assault, the Imperial Banshee fighters scattered like a flock of frightened birds, and the formation was completely chaotic. However, this is not entirely his credit, at least half of it is thanks to the eight Hellcat fighters that accelerated from the left and right flanks, and so a strange situation was formed, the Blue Angels squadron surrounded the Imperial group from three sides, and the Imperial Banshee fighter group was like a herd of sheep watching from a herd of sheepdogs, and in the middle of this group of sheep was a fierce and opportunistic wolf......
"Brothers, attack freely and give me a hard beating of these guys." Risen felt a burst of excitement, and he got carried away, he forgot the fact that it was all girls who fought with him, which made Zhang Xiaojing funny and angry.
Beams of energy of all colors and colors filled the cosmic starry sky, and everywhere there were scattered debris and smoke, intertwined into a large colorful labyrinth, and the fighters on both sides came and went, shuttling back and forth, dodging, and attacking. However, relatively speaking, the girls have an absolute advantage, they are all elite pilots, and they have taken the initiative position, and they know how to make the most of this advantage, and the empire has already shot down several banshees, while the hellcats have maintained their victory.
Risen was not focused on shooting down an enemy plane, he was the captain of the flight, and he needed to maintain observation and control of the overall situation, he either alerted the friendly planes that were being tracked, or took the initiative to cover the friendly fighters in critical situations, which was bitter Zhang Xiaojing, who had sworn to cover him before, she had to work very hard to keep up with him and drive the enemy planes that might threaten him away from his tail.
He smiled, Zhang Xiaojing was really a very conscientious wingman, and another banshee that followed him was driven away by her. But when Resson turned his face, his smile quickly faded, and he saw an Imperial Banshee fighter near him chasing a Hellcat, the fighter, and he quickly found the Hellcat's number and the code name of the girl sitting inside on the sensor.
"Angel number nine, Iasilia, there's a banshee staring at you behind you, pay attention." Risen shouted.
"I see it, damn it, I can't get rid of him." Iasilia had no choice but to give up the attack on the other banshee, causing her hellcat to make a sharp maneuver, but the enemy plane seemed to be iron-hearted, staring at her and biting quite hard, and when Iasilia's wingman was about to come over to relieve her, the other two banshees entangled her, leaving her with no time to care.
"Hold on, I'll come." Risen helplessly watched this Imperial Banshee fighter chasing after him, Iasilia made several detached moves in a row, but failed to get rid of him, Resson could feel that the skills of this Imperial fighter pilot were much better than others, and looking at the appearance of two Banshee fighters in a row just now desperately covering him, it seems that the pilot of this Banshee is not low, maybe it is the squadron leader of one of the Banshee squadrons himself.
Shooting him down would have caused some panic among the squadron's Banshee fighter pilots, and with a bit of luck, might force the enemy planes to retreat, and Risen turned the planes around sharply and flew in the direction of Iasilia.
"He's biting hard, getting closer." Iasilia's voice was already a little quick, and the energy beams fired by the enemy plane passed near her plane one after another, getting closer and closer, and her voice echoed in the cockpit of Resson, "Damn it, Inazuma Four, where the hell are you?" ”
"Hold on a little longer." Rayson's lightning fighter broke through the air and landed behind the banshee fighter's side, which was not particularly good for accurate shooting, but he couldn't care about it now, and it was the first priority to quickly relieve Iasilia, the lightning fighter's cannon was aimed at the banshee fighter, and one after another energy beams shot out from the muzzle, flying left and right on both sides of the banshee fighter's cockpit.
The Imperial pilot reluctantly gave up his attack on Iasilia, and dodged his Banshee fighter aside and out of Risson's cannon fireline, and although he was unwilling, he had to do it, if he didn't want to be shot down, the wingman who had covered him was still far from coming back.
"Thanks, Risson." Yasilia whispered thanks, her voice calming down.
"No, now you take your squad out of the fight with the Imperial Banshee fighters, attack those dagger attack planes, pester them, force them to give up the attack, if there are a few that slip through the net, ignore it, there is Alice's team behind you to clean them up." As he spoke, Risen focused his attention on the Banshee fighter, which he had already seen the squadron leader logo on the rear fuselage of the Banshee, which was a very important prey.
"Understood." The girl had no objections, she turned her Hellcat in the other direction to pick up her wingman and the rest of the squad, and the four Hellcats left the battleground and flew towards the clumsy, slow-flying daggers.
Several Imperial Banshee fighters noticed their actions and rushed to stop them, but they quickly gave up and turned around on Ryson, because their squadron leader was in a bad situation, and they had to hurry back to the rescue, and the culprit was naturally Risson.
Ever since Risen identified the squadron leader's banshee fighter, the squadron leader felt that the situation was not good, and the current situation was almost the same as the hellcat he had pursued Iasilia before, but now he had lost everything, and he was like Iasilia at that time, desperately spinning all kinds of flying skills, sometimes spiraling, sometimes rolling sharply, changing direction in circles, but the damned enemy plane always bit the back of his tail, and there was no sign of giving up the pursuit, And what frightened him the most was that the enemy plane did not shoot a beam of energy, and it was obvious that the enemy pilot was a very terrible veteran, he was accumulating energy, he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to attack in one shot.
Risen finally waited for the opportunity, the Imperial pilot was finally accurately targeted by him, the energy beam from the muzzle of the lightning starfighter cannon sharply weakened the strength of the Banshee's shield to zero, after the shield was penetrated, several energy beams through the shield hit the wings of the Banshee fighter, nearly a quarter of the outer edge of the wing peeled off the body of the fighter, the Banshee immediately lost part of control, and began to rotate around the axis of the aircraft.
"Captain......
"Squadron Leader ......"
Just when Risen was about to launch the final blow to shoot down the squadron leader's fighter, more than a dozen beams swept towards his fighter, and he could only temporarily let go of the squadron leader and pull the lightning fighter away, avoiding these energy cannon fire, however, his efforts were not in vain, he was pleased to see that the injured and escaped Banshee fighter immediately turned around and headed back towards the Imperial fleet, along with four or five carefully guarded Banshee fighters.
He smiled with satisfaction, it seems that in some special times, it is more cost-effective to damage the enemy plane than to shoot down the enemy plane, if this squadron leader's banshee is shot down by him, the empire will also lose one fighter plane in this air combat battlefield, maybe it will cause other enemy planes to retaliate even more frantically and angrily, but if it is damaged, it is forced to turn back, then the loss is not one, but also other banshee fighters escorting this injured enemy plane. Risen could not help but think of what the sergeant had told them when he was training at the Lodesian Barracks: if one enemy soldier is killed, the enemy will be reduced by one; However, if it is not killed but wounded, and the enemy has to take many other personnel in order to rescue and retreat the soldier, which is equivalent to the attrition of many people, and the wailing and bloody scenes of the soldier when he is injured often have a huge psychological impact on the other people who are alive.
It seems that some of the principles are universal, Risen sighed, it has been more than two years, and he doesn't know if the sergeant is still in Lodhian, he probably can't imagine that several of the soldiers he taught have become enemies of the Empire.
"Inazuma Four, the commander's transport ship will arrive at the evacuation point in ten minutes, please hold on a little longer." His cockpit sounded the voice of Yao, who was sitting on the Archangel.
"Understood, Archangel, we will do our best."
